British civil servant

"Patrick, do you think it makes sense?" Harold Wilson asked the Foreign Secretary for his opinion in order to show his democratic side.

Foreign Secretary Patrick thought to himself, who are you asking?Didn’t the authority on Orientalism just finish speaking?I have to say that Alan Wilson's people are very stable. Although Patrick's brain is empty, he replied with a mature attitude, "Indeed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has almost the same opinion on this issue."

"The views of the Foreign Secretary have always been so accurate." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile and continued, "We can conclude that the expansion of economic and trade relations will inject vitality into the British economy."

Expanding economic and trade relations is definitely beneficial. When it first entered into international trade, it was really a pure deficit country, which lasted for more than ten years.The biggest beneficiary is Japan, which is the closest country. Little Japan is ambitious and opposed to returning to the United Nations. My Great Britain is thousands of miles away, and it is more suitable for distance to produce beauty.

From the perspective of industrial chain competition, the future threat is the future. Japan is now competing with the United Kingdom, and rushing to make a layout ahead of Japan can drive the ebb and flow of each other.

Turning around, Alan Wilson took the letter of appointment and handed it to John Mansfield, "Go and take office. The government will issue a statement to enhance diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level within a week."

On November [-]st, the United Kingdom issued a diplomatic communiqué, establishing diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with a certain major country.

At this time in the United Kingdom, the next hot topic of major newspapers is the increasingly fierce Pakistani civil war and its impact. Returning to the United Nations is regarded as a timeline by Alan Wilson in a sense. Shortly after returning to the United Nations, after voting, the actual shaping of public opinion began.

Videos of widespread human rights violations in Pakistan's civil war appeared in British reports, and documentaries produced by Vivien Leigh also began to enter major theaters in the UK.Maybe James Bond, there will be a movie with this India-Pakistan war as the background in the future.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

I am invincible in the world to promote the affairs of two major Asian countries at once. Alan Wilson thinks that even if Bismarck is alive, he is nothing more than that. Bah bah, the Germans are not worth learning in the field of diplomacy.

Alan Wilson, who feels full of ambition, has the deadly virtue of being possessed by a prince no matter whether he is in Whitehall or at home. He really feels that he has begun to win a thousand miles away.

"What's so exciting about this?" Pamela Mountbatten couldn't see her husband getting carried away. Of course, she knew that her man was promoting diplomatic work in Asia, but it was worth being so happy?

"You have long hair but short knowledge, what do you know?" Alan Wilson puffed up his chest proudly, "If the Pakistani civil war triggers India's attack, it can raise public awareness of the importance of the military. As for the normalization of diplomacy, it will be even more important to the British economy It has a stimulating effect. If there is another US dollar crisis, even if the Bretton Woods system, which already exists in name only, has come to an end, in fact, it is just that all countries are pretending to be fine, and maybe they are secretly preparing to jump ship."

"What will the pound be supported by then? Of course, it can also be supported by its influence in the Middle East, but it is still a bit weak. The economic and trade relations in East Asia will be a strong support for the pound. After all, the currency is for buying things. If you can't buy things Isn’t it a piece of waste paper? In fact, according to Xiangjiang’s statistics, including re-export trade and smuggling, the UK has long had a trade surplus. This situation will continue.”

Contrary to people's impression decades later, when it first opened up, a certain big country had a trade deficit for more than ten consecutive years.Becoming the country with the largest trade surplus is also a matter of gritted teeth year after year.

Alan Wilson does not know which country is the biggest beneficiary under this kind of long-term trade deficit, but it can be inferred from common sense that the biggest beneficiary should be Japan, because Japan was the most inflated during the same period, so there is no benefit What will Japan do?

Japan still voted against returning to the United Nations. It must be profitable to enter the Sino-Japanese honeymoon period in a few years.

In this world, don’t bother the Japanese with smiles even though they are unwilling in their hearts. How can the Japanese bear this kind of grievance? Being a production base in the United States is already so hard, and I can’t continue to bear the mental insult. It would be better to let Britain, the restricted zone supreme, be the villain.

There will no longer be a China-Japan honeymoon period. In the future, there will only be a golden decade between China and the UK. The growing economic and trade relations in East Asia will become a boost to the barriers in the pound zone.

"If you waste so much effort to keep Malaya, you are waiting for the normalization of Sino-British relations. If there is only Xiangjiang, the potential for increasing economic and trade relations between the two countries is limited, and it is much easier now."

"Is there really such a big help?" Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help asking when she heard her husband yelling, "Then what does the collapse of the Bretton Woods system have to do with the development of economy and trade?"

"After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the pound will be converted into a sovereign physical currency. At that time, production capacity will be needed."

Alan Wilson didn't want to hide anything from his wife, "In the long run, they may become terrible opponents in the future, but that's a matter of the future. The immediate problem is Japan. Even Japan can't figure out what to talk about in the future?"

The yen had a brief period of high light in the 80s and [-]s. Isn’t that still supported by Japan’s production capacity?

Either you have energy or you have industry, you have to have one.If both are not strong, then wait to be harvested by the dollar tide. Even if they have both, they are still quite strong, and it depends on whether there are US troops stationed in the country.

In fact, the bright future that Japan is obsessed with is at best close to the level of the Cold War Britain, but for a certain period of time the Japanese had an illusion that Japan could even surpass the United States.In the end, Japan also paid a heavy price for this illusion.

Japan and South Korea are actually dumbbell-structured economies, importing raw materials and exporting goods, and Japan and South Korea are just a production base in the middle.It can develop really thanks to the indulgence of the United States.Relying on the poor domestic foundations of the two countries, it is impossible to have that status.

As long as you have a little understanding, you will know that the living standards of Japan and South Korea are far worse than those in Europe. The cost of [-] US dollars per capita is unimaginable in Europe, and what is the level of [-] US dollars per capita in Europe, that is, the level of Greece. Greece is a country that has experienced a debt crisis.

"Are you going to insist on using sterling as the settlement for trade?" Pamela Mountbatten questioned, "Can it be successful? After so many years, we don't know the situation there."

"Nyerere can do it, there is no reason why the UK can't do it." Alan Wilson mentioned that the economic and trade contract signed by Nyerere was settled on the basis of sterling.

A condition that a former colony in East Africa can obtain, but Britain cannot obtain?Is there something unreasonable?

"However, in a short period of time, we need a substitute. After this war in Bangladesh, it will be completely destroyed. After 6000 million Bangladeshis are impoverished, we will use loans to put debts on this new country as a temporary The textile base sustains production in the sterling zone.”

After all, it will take some time for reform and opening up. In the middle of the official disintegration of the Bretton Woods system and the opening up, the UK must find a place to temporarily allow the pound to circulate.

Bangladesh, with a population of 6000 million, will not be a problem for a few years, and it will not take too long. Of course, in exchange, although Bangladesh will be burdened with heavy debts, the United Kingdom can provide a real estate strategy to rejuvenate the country. At least it will bring Bangladesh The capital Dhaka was built.

Real estate Xingbang Britain can be regarded as a veteran. The capitals of British African countries were established by the United Kingdom ten years ago, which increased the circulation reserves of sterling and the debts of these countries. have a bright future.

Alan Wilson is still very optimistic about the future of Bangladesh. After this war, the status quo faced by Bangladeshis is that they will starve to death if they do not work in sweatshops.Having lost nearly all Bengalis in the war, there was simply no other option.

"The country is really lucky to have you." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes were full of admiration, and she directly got into the arms of the man and whispered.

"There is such a thing as patriotism in this world." Reaching out to touch the back of his wife's head, Alan Wilson boasted vigorously, "Of course we all know that this is due to the Prime Minister."

Harold Wilson at No. [-] Downing Street sneezed for no reason, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Did he catch a cold?

On the issue of avoiding the overwhelm of the US dollar, in fact, the UK still has another option, which is to join forces with France. In addition to the pound zone, there is also the French franc zone in this world. The currencies of all countries in the zone maintain a fixed exchange rate with the French franc, and they can be free from each other. exchange.

The French franc is the main reserve currency in the region, and all countries in the region use French francs for mutual payment and settlement; the movement of funds in the region is generally not restricted; the gold and foreign exchange reserves of various countries are kept in France; the "common fiscal and financial policy" is implemented in the region.

In fact, the franc zone has existed until the 21st century because of the strong control of France, and its vitality is much more tenacious than that of the pound zone.

But if it is united with France?To be honest, it is better to think of a way in Asia. The French will feel that they are at a disadvantage, and the UK cannot fully trust France. Even cooperation is full of filth.

The African countries in the franc zone are definitely at a disadvantage, but how to look at this disadvantage, the franc is certainly not good for them, but the level of the African countries' own currency is not as good as the franc.

Nyerere, which has become independent, issued its own currency, but the depreciation rate exceeded that of the Kenyan shilling, which was still issued by the United Kingdom. As a result, the newly issued currency was not as stable as the British colonial period.

This is of course a good thing for the United Kingdom. They immediately used the media to regard Nyerere as a negative teaching material, saying that the newly independent country would die if it broke away from the pound system.

According to gossip, Myanmar intends to invite Britain to stop the war in neighboring countries because of the refugee crisis in Pakistan's civil war.

The news circulating in the UK, coupled with the recent broadcast of images of the Bangladeshi crackdown, has led some to debate whether the UK has an international responsibility to somehow stop the war from continuing.

Of course, this kind of public opinion was sternly rejected by the British Foreign Office, saying that independent countries are capable of handling their own affairs, and the British dispatch of troops will only make things more complicated.

"Of course we have to make this statement. At this stage, we need to convince the United States and the Soviet Union that the United Kingdom has no interest in the situation in South Asia. Let the main battlefield out." Alan Wilson was smoking a cigar, and the cigar on his mouth danced with the words when he spoke , "As for what citizens think, whether they will be disappointed or not, that doesn't matter. Citizens' will is only useful during elections. After all votes are cast, who cares what they say?"

Whether the UK sends troops or not, it has nothing to do with public opinion. It is purely a matter of national interest. Myanmar's statement will become an excuse for the UK to intervene, but not now.

With the coming of the closing season of the Himalayas, for India, the possibility of interference by external forces has disappeared.

On this day, Sam Manekshaw, Chief of Staff of the Indian Army, came to the Prime Minister's Office with a detailed combat plan. He knew that Indira Gandhi and the ministers had been waiting patiently for several months.

"Dear Prime Minister, ministers, I have been waiting for a long time." Sam Manekshaw started straight to the point, explaining on the giant map of South Asia, "The main attack direction is East Pakistan, take a defensive position on the western border, and withstand the main force of the Pakistani Army After defeating the defenders in East Pakistan, concentrate on dealing with the western front. There is no doubt that these two fronts will be fought, but I firmly believe that it will not take too long to occupy the entire East Pakistan.”

The first ambassador to China, John Mansfield, received his first task, explaining that Britain did not want war to break out, although India was about to attack.But Britain must not leak information to Pakistan that a large-scale war is about to start.

But a big country leaked that there is no such problem. Everyone knows that China and Pakistan wear a pair of trousers, and this has nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

Half of Pakistan's population is in civil strife, and it will definitely not be able to withstand India's attack. However, in order to prolong the conflict between the two countries, Alan Wilson is also worried.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

,!

If India can really make a difference, Britain will definitely switch to a containment attitude.

, But Alan Wilson knows very well that by the time of Modi's old fairy, India had not become impressive, so the potential threat of India has been ruled out, and a soft attitude must be adopted towards this former colony.

What's more, Pakistan really can't win this time. Half of the population is pursuing independence. Should the UK be on the side of the loser?On the side of India, of course.

But a certain big country is different. Since the real battle in [-], there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two countries, so it is more suitable to tip off the Pakistani side.Judging from the current time, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the tip-off will not change the final result. It is nothing more than a few more days if Pakistan is mentally prepared to last?

"The Ministry of National Defense has almost completed the development plan of the destroyer fleet. When will it be handed over to you?" During lunch, Maggins enjoyed a working meal of a humble social official, and did not forget to ask about the construction plan of the destroyer fleet. Require.

"Well, don't be so anxious. Do some streamlining work. You need two construction plans. One is to be handed over to the cabinet. It is based on a [-]-ton cruiser and a [-]-ton frigate. If the cabinet thinks it is too extravagant? Then take out the second one." It is an update plan based on the standard displacement of [-] tons and the frigate of the [-]-ton class. The above are all standard arrangements."

Alan Wilson chewed his steak and said vaguely, "We still need to save some financial expenses for the country. Although the cabinet has now been persuaded that the necessary shipbuilding plan will help maintain the prosperity of the local shipbuilding industry, it is too much Always bad."

"Well, that's true." Makins nodded solemnly, and continued to enjoy his lunch slowly. At this time, the content of the Commonwealth Film Festival was being broadcast on the TV, praising the concept of the Commonwealth's diverse civilizations. For the harmonious development of the nation, Vivien Leigh, Hepburn, and Taylor all appeared one by one, as well as filmmakers from the Commonwealth countries and colonies.

"Having said that, Alan, you have been very careful to deal with the concept of diversity, at least far more conservative than Germany and France."

"The idea of ​​diversification can be based on the British Commonwealth being closely united around the UK, and the UK supports economic development as a grand blueprint, but it does not necessarily have to bring in immigrants. When it comes to this issue, Malaya is very disgusted with immigrants. The local British army An important means of gaining goodwill is to arrest illegal immigrants and deport them."

Watching handsome men and women flashing across the screen, Alan Wilson replied, "Actually, I think the current scale is more appropriate than the approach adopted by Germany and France."

And to be honest, shouldn’t Germany and France thank him? Algeria can at least become a buffer from Africa to France. Many secret obstructions to immigration can be realized through the local military in Algeria. The big licking dog of the Aryan concept is much easier to deal with than the Turks, right?

The problem in Malaya now is that once the United States flees from South Vietnam, there will inevitably be large-scale fleeing immigrants from South Vietnam. Many of these people have fled to Hong Kong and Taiwan in history, but now it is obvious that there will be one more destination, which is Malaya. It is business to deal with this issue without leaving a comment.

Allen Wilson wanted to accept this batch of refugees, because the Malays in Malaya are approaching the proportion of Chinese. Once the Malays feel that I have the advantage again, they will inevitably not think about independence.

After all, Malays are educated that Malaya is their land, the British are colonists, and the Chinese are accomplices.

These refugees must have fled because they did not recognize the state system of North Vietnam, and their loyalty was definitely not a problem. Moreover, since they could escape, they must belong to the group of people with small property.The quality of the population is not a problem, and it can also drive some development in Malaya. In this way, the UK will have something to do before opening up, and slowly wait for the traditional market to open again.

Xiangjiang filmmakers are also an important part of the Commonwealth Film Festival. Xia Meng felt very cordial when a few familiar old faces came to London these days, and she was having a good conversation with a couple.

"I'm based in London now. The last time I came back to Xiangjiang, I left in a hurry without seeing him a few times." Guan Shan looked regretful, and at the same time expressed his envy for Xia Meng, "You are already an actress in Xiangjiang. You have become a benchmark, achieved results very quickly, and now you are well-known in Europe, and many filmmakers look to you as a role model."

"Well, it's just that you are pregnant." Xia Meng knows her own family affairs, and her acting skills have not reached the point of excellence, not to mention that Europe is a white world. She herself is unabated.

How can there be any good years, it's all about the man behind carrying the weight forward.

On the contrary, the old acquaintance in front of him is the result of real hard work and won the Silver Sail Award for Best Actor at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.This made him the first Xiangjiang actor to win an award at an international film festival.This was earlier than Xia Meng's several recommended awards. At that time, she was still busy integrating into the UK and took the shortcut of the cabinet secretary.

"Since you're in London, come to my house as a guest. I'm helping you arrange a place to stay." Xia Meng was very happy to meet him, but he also knew that the man was disgusted by strangers appearing in his territory. Fortunately, he was a family. Yes, otherwise she would not dare to invite.

As for concealment and non-reporting, that is even more impossible. Xia Meng still knows a few part-time jobs of Supreme Authority, not to mention there are a group of people serving him in private.

What Xia Meng didn't expect was that her son was having a good time with the Guan Shan couple's daughter, which made her reflect on whether she was controlling her son too much.

This is a puppy love. A few days later, when Alan Wilson came over, he heard it and said directly, "A man who is so young, he doesn't want to fight, and thinks about food and clothing every day? Is that what I taught him? Give I'll call him over."

Alan Wilson's fatherly voice echoed in the hall, as if his son dared to go downstairs and vowed not to give up until he grew up to be a scientist, a teacher, or a doctor.

Xia Meng, who was still in the process of controlling his son's self-reflection, hurriedly stopped him. Seeing that he was about to untie his belt, he frightened his son. "It's normal for a child to be playful. I'll teach him slowly."

"It's this girl?" Xia Meng took out the photo album this time and introduced it to a man of the same status as her husband.

"Huh, huh?" A suspicious look flashed across Alan Wilson's face, "Mr. Guan you said? Let's go now?"

Hearing that he had just left yesterday, Allen Wilson nodded, and said after a long time, "Actually, I can't blame my son. How could my son not be like me? I was also impulsive just now. The little girl is called Guan Jiahui, right? This is really true. A problem!"

"Why is it a problem?" Xia Meng listened in a cloud of confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine the man was selling, she was just a little girl, so what did she look like, what did she look like.

"I asked him to recite the Tao Te Ching last time, and I called him to recite it for me. If you can't recite it, you can watch." Alan Wilson made a gesture to untie his belt again, telling Xia Meng to go and call his son down.

He felt that his son, whom he valued so much, was likely to fall into the hands of the most beautiful woman in Xiangjiang.It doesn't necessarily mean that there is any danger. The supreme authority of the one-acre three-point land in Xiangjiang can still be covered, and it is not far from the British mainland, which is also separated by a Eurasian continent.

He can't be too educated. Alan Wilson himself can't walk when he sees female stars, so how dare he point out his son on this point.

When he found a chance, he asked Xia Meng to insinuate, why don't you like white women?Top beauties do not distinguish between races, and there is no essential distinction between superior and inferior.

"It feels like a loss of hundreds of millions, and it may be more in the future." Alan Wilson held his forehead, but there was one less son in the marriage, alas, why did you say it again.

But even thinking about it is not easy to interfere, Xia Meng is right next to him, he can't brazenly say that the female star is definitely not a good match, this situation fully reflects what it means to be upright and crooked.

Sam Manekshaw, Chief of Staff of India, held a military meeting at his command post in Bengal, and re-committed to the benefits he had won from the government. The soldiers died, and his family will be cared for throughout his life. His children would receive an education commensurate with his rank; and would have priority in the army, not having to fend for himself if he was wounded.

Even the missing or captured in war will be treated the same, because to their families they have lost their bread earners.

After talking about the benefits that the old fairy Modi painstakingly wanted to abolish, Sam Manekshaw began to make war arrangements.

At almost the same time, the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Armed Forces received a severe warning from a major country, and Yahya Khan issued an order to the defenders of East Pakistan, "We must guard against a full-scale attack by the Indian army. It is wrong to think that the war will not expand." , In the end, everyone will go to a military court."

After receiving the order from Yahya Khan, the East Pakistan defenders felt as if they were facing an enemy for a while. This time, the order was unprecedentedly strict. The East Pakistan defenders immediately began to use the existing conditions to defend.

The most advantageous point is that the well-developed water network in the Ganges Delta can be used by the defenders, but similarly, this environment also prevents the already inferior Pakistani army from counterattacking.

On November 21, India, which had been preparing for several months, launched an offensive. The Indian troops of the three armies crossed the border and launched a full-scale offensive from three directions. Assault, artillery rumbled across the border.

The Indian paratrooper brigade carried out airborne operations on strategic locations near Dhaka, coordinating with the main force of India assaulting from the border.

"Is this combat plan formulated by the Soviet Union?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but suspect that the Soviet Union was good at using airborne troops to fight.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After a moment of silence into the microphone, Alan Wilson said again, "We must let Washington know about this suspicion. Isn't it very similar to the Soviet Union's raid on Warsaw? Then discuss it with the United States through intelligence exchanges, remember. , and resolutely stated our position that Britain will not interfere with the independent colonies."

At least now is not the time, the war has just begun, why not wait and see for two days?Can the Indian army break through the border smoothly, or will it gobble up thousands of miles from the beginning?

What time is it now?It is not enough to make a true judgment, otherwise, the embarrassment of Shoigu's battle to become a god is likely to occur.

Of course, this does not mean that Alan Wilson believes that India cannot win, and if it is steady and steady in the face of the Pakistani government forces with 6000 million people who want independence, India will achieve its goal sooner or later.

"I see, Secretary-General." Wick replied holding the microphone, "We will communicate with Washington, hoping to know the exact views of the United States on this war."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you. I'll talk about it when I go to work tomorrow." Alan Wilson put down the microphone, stared at the big boy Charlotte in front of him and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any thoughts about the impression of modern Chinese history after reading it?"

Charlotte, who was motionless, had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to run, otherwise he would really suffer from his belt, "Father, the knowledge you let me understand is obviously not at my age and should be mastered."

"Don't talk nonsense, you still don't know the seriousness of the matter." Alan Wilson said as if I was optimistic about you, "Others can't master it, but you have to master it. Your stage is in East Asia. Use history as a mirror. Have you heard? I can wipe your ass for a lifetime? You still have to make your own judgment when you encounter things in the future."

The more Charlotte listened to it, the more she couldn't understand it. She wondered how old I was, how did it involve wiping my ass for the rest of my life?His mind went blank, and he just nodded indifferently to show that he understood.

"Listen to your father." Xia Meng had a straight face. She could understand better than her own man the usual subtle expressions of her son when he wanted to get away with it.
