Chapter 1290 Honest Britain

"Switzerland? I remember you called them the goblins of Zurich." Pamela Mountbatten pursed her lips and snickered, talking about the nickname the British gave to the Swiss. "And didn't they also claim that Switzerland is not a neutral country?"

"Every time has different views on time. This is normal. It is useful in Switzerland now. Switzerland is the most financialized country in Europe and has sufficient talent reserves. As long as you choose to start operations there, the talents are ready."

Alan Wilson did not feel embarrassed at all and explained directly, "From a national perspective, we cannot directly enter a confrontation with an unknown outcome, nor can we in the financial field. A country cannot just think about money. But at the individual level, there is mental calculation. Unintentionally, the French could be getting a big deal."

The first one to eat the crab always gets the biggest advantage. Alan Wilson remembers that France did get a big advantage from this time. This has caused great embarrassment to the United States. How embarrassing is it?

It reached a point where the United States was unable to use financial power to fight back. This time, Britain and Germany saw its weakness and launched subsequent attacks.

As for Switzerland, it has all the conditions to complete the operation of the richest woman in place of London. Switzerland served as the center for secret commercial transactions between Germany and the Allies during World War II. It was deliberately protected by Hitler and became a neutral country. A ledger reported by Swiss banks to the Swiss Treasury shows that Switzerland's gold reserves have almost tripled.

Taking advantage of the fact that the British gold market was still closed after the war, Swiss banks began to move around, integrating gold supply and sales channels around the world, and trying to establish a global gold market centered in Switzerland. In terms of supply channels, the Swiss had no ideological concerns. On the one hand, they established a strong business partnership with the Soviet bloc, and on the other hand, they even went to South Africa to poach the British.

In other words, Zurich is a competitor of London. Otherwise, how could the goblins of Zurich reverberate in the British political arena? As long as Pamela Mountbatten puts her money in Switzerland, she can pull together all the conditions to launch a financial attack overnight.

So here comes the question. Ellen Wilson asked the richest woman how many U.S. dollars and U.S. dollar bonds she has in her hands now, which can be used to exchange for gold from the United States.

"I don't have much property in US dollars, but if I use the principal of the Sarawak Development Bank, I can get more than a billion." Pamela Mountbatten pondered for a moment, and then confirmed again, "After all, the United States has the world's number one Gold reserve, dear, you have to know that once you are retaliated, it is not a trivial matter. What is the success rate?"

"Don't say it's 100%, you can also say it's 99%." Alan Wilson answered firmly. To say that the butterfly effect can affect other aspects, but to say that it affects the gold reserves of various countries is a joke. The main thing in this world is There are only a few gold producing areas. Although he opened a panoramic map, he only added the Australian gold mine as an exception. The gold on the Gold Coast has been discovered long ago, but it has been independent for a while now.

The gold reserves of various countries now, except for Britain, will not be any different from those in history. The cards in their hands are still the same. Therefore, when De Gaulle attacks the dollar, the United States will not be able to fight back with greater force than in history.

If the United States could speak with guns and guns, it would never talk nonsense to you. If it did not retaliate against France at the financial level, it would definitely not be able to retaliate. However, no one knows whether there is any shadow of the United States in the history of de Gaulle's resignation.

"I have always believed in you unconditionally, and this time I still believe in you." After hearing this, Pamela Mountbatten directly expressed her intention to join and personally contribute to the Anglo-French alliance. "It's just that France has succeeded. Will it be reversed because of its financial strength?" The surge is causing trouble for the UK."

"It's unlikely." Alan Wilson replied. If Algeria had not succeeded in becoming independent, he would definitely have said that it was not possible, but now it is indeed a theoretical possibility.

After informing her wife of the basic situation of the three European countries, Britain, France and Germany, Pamela Mountbatten thought for a long time, "Japan is also quite strong. Why don't you talk about the situation in Japan."

"Japan is not qualified to appear on this kind of stage. There is no possibility for Japan to resist the United States." Alan Wilson chuckled. Who is worried about? Japan?

Why? Does Japan have a lot of foreign exchange reserves? Most financial talents should know the fact that the concept of foreign exchange reserves was created by the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom knows what this concept represents and what its weaknesses are.

After World War I, there was a serious outflow of gold from the UK. In order to cope with the internationalization of the US dollar, the UK worked hard and thought hard about how to solve the dilemma of gold shortage. So the only way out is to treat pound banknotes as gold, persuade and force countries to accept this view, and add pounds to the currency reserve assets of central banks of various countries in addition to gold.

Of course, Britain would be proud to assure everyone that pounds could be converted into gold at any time if needed. This was the original concept of foreign exchange reserves.

"The French dare to go against the United States, just to watch the United States transport troops to Southeast Asia ship by ship, and have no time to pay attention to them." Pamela Mountbatten sighed, "Once the United States completes transporting troops and launches a ground war and wins, France Won’t the idea come to nothing?”

"So France will not take action in a short period of time, maybe it will wait. But the preparations must have been thought out." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "At present, our control of military expenditures is still effective, although it is different. The gap in the combat effectiveness of regional garrisons is even wider. But it turns out that this problem also exists. Facing a weak opponent, there is no problem in releasing some weak garrisons."

There is a huge gap between the first-rate British troops and the third-rate troops. They can land in Normandy one-on-one against seven troops, or they can raise their hands and surrender to Yamashita Fengfumi. After Whitehall's adjustments in recent years, this problem has become more serious. This is especially true for the African garrison, but facing a group of black uncles, it is not a mistake to make such an adjustment.

As long as Britain could ensure that the British troops in Germany looked like elite troops, even if the British troops in the colonies stretched their hips, they would not be noticed by the Soviets.

As for American Victory? Alan Wilson thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember who the war targets that the United States recognized as victorious were? Panama or Grenada? But there is one thing that the United States is far superior to Russia, and that is that the United States has clearly failed so many times, but it can still make most countries in the world feel that it is invincible.

It seems that since Russia took action, most people have completely forgotten about the Kabul trapeze incident, which shows the power of public opinion.

Pamela Mountbatten has just returned to London, so she naturally wants to have a chat with her man. After all, there will be a big move soon. If she wants the richest woman to work, she must serve her well.

"At this point, Australian workers are still not satisfied. However, they are very enthusiastic about donations to the UK. Has it been reported in China?" Pamela Mountbatten was in a happy mood and began to complain that Australian workers did not understand the hard work of capitalists.

Alan Wilson listened to his wife's words and consoled him, "There is nothing we can do about it. Australia is fed by God. As for the donation you mentioned, it went very smoothly. It is the characteristic of Australians."

He remembered that life in Australia in the 21st century was, in a sense, better than that in the United States. Australia's per capita salary seemed to be the first in the world in some years. After all, the country sitting on the mine cart is not in vain. Although Russia is also rich in resources, the number of people that resource countries can feed is limited. Russia is already the most populous country in the West after the United States, not to mention Russia. It has been subject to financial sanctions and the purchasing power of the ruble has not increased.

Australians know where their lives come from, so Australia always does the safest thing to do, so it is natural that the donation goes smoothly.

Life must go on, and the roundtable conference on Yemen’s independence is still progressing at a rapid pace. Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is mainly focusing on representatives of the Free Officers Organization, hoping that they can accept federalism.

There are both pros and cons, and they even use the integrity of Yemen's sovereignty to put pressure. If the Free Officers Organization does not give Britain this face, although the United Kingdom says it will try to preserve the integrity of Yemen, it does not rule out the eventual adoption of a partition plan that no one wants to see.

Fakhla had no choice but to contact Nasser at home to inform him of the progress of the round table. This matter also caused controversy within the Free Officers Organization, but after discussion, Nasser considered that the negotiations had taken a long time and the British attitude had not changed, so he finally chose to compromise. It would not be too late to solve all problems until the British leave.

It has to be said that after Nasser encountered obstacles in several countries, he finally lost his enthusiasm and began to understand how to compromise. I have to say this is progress.

Although Alan Wilson did not know that the father of Arab nationalism was not dead, he was still happy that the negotiations had finally broken through the deadlock. He reported to Prime Minister Eden, "Finally, we have achieved results."

"I hope that after we leave, Yemen will not fall into armed conflict." After hearing this, Ayden nodded happily and made an insincere speech.

"I hope so." Alan Wilson wished that there would be a fight after Britain left, which proved Britain's efforts to maintain peace in Yemen.

Then it was time to announce the news. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the progress of the round table meeting, bringing a successful conclusion to this independence meeting. The United Kingdom will soon withdraw its colonial institutions in Yemen and establish an embassy in Yemen.

The new Yemen will implement a federal system and hold general elections before June. Everything seems so logical. Britain's efforts to maintain the integrity of Yemen have also been praised by all countries.

When the news reached Yemen, residents in some Yemeni cities also sang and danced to celebrate the good news.
