Chapter 577 Dad is back

This is a feast of capital, and there is no emotion to talk about in the face of such interests. The Federal Reserve's gold reserves are declining at an astonishing rate. After all, the United States is the most powerful country. Even if the Soviet Union takes action to help France, it is impossible to make Wall Street surrender in a short period of time. More than 10,000 tons of gold reserves. Even if the United States realizes that the opponent is coming for gold this time, it can still keep the US dollar worth in a short period of time.

After the run, the US dollar is still the US dollar, the world's liquid currency. This role cannot be replaced by francs or rubles. The Federal Reserve, which lost more than 2,000 tons of gold, finally survived this run with the help of diplomatic fields.

The Soviet Union and France divided the big heads of this attack equally. Of course, compared with France's first attack, the Soviet Union took advantage of the situation to rob and rob and scourged hatred. However, compared with France within the Western market and the Soviet Union, which had no connection with the US economy, the United States had no choice in a short period of time.

"It's a pity that our demonstration effect has not appeared. The real economic powers, Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany, restrained their desire to take action. Whether it was the diplomatic pressure of the United States or the reasons, the indifference between the two countries allowed the United States to survive this crisis." At the reception of the Central Presidium, Selov, holding a wine glass, spoke to Kosykin while not leaving his wife who was dancing in the venue. If Selov dared to put his hands in the place where he shouldn't have put them, he would definitely teach this old man to be a human being.

This time, the Soviet Union appeared in the right place at the right time and obtained the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. Of course, the KGB also gained huge gains. In addition to the billion US dollars given to Kosigin, there were also funds collected with the intelligence departments of the allied countries. This was the KGB overseas funds known to the Central Bureau of the Central Committee, which totaled six or seven billion US dollars. The real big head is still a secret to others.

"If you don't let Valia come down, I'm afraid you'll eat Selokov in a while." Brezhnev held a big cigar on his finger. He was amused as he looked at Selov as he was talking about serious things while he was also looking at his wife's expression.

Kosykin nodded. The big head of funds is not to directly exchange for gold for the Federal Reserve. The total amount of dollars issuance does not correspond to gold. Otherwise, the gold mined in the world now cannot cope with the issuance of the US dollar and can take gold out of the hands of the United States. The main reason is that the conflict point of the Braston Woods system, that is, the part of the US dollar's over-issuance. The gold price in the free market has nothing to do with the gold price set by the Federal Reserve. The reason why other countries can make the United States ugly this time is that the US dollar is over-issuance.

There is also a reason why this run started in the London trading market. The United States and eight countries, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium, established a gold warehouse in 61. The central banks of the eight countries took out gold, and the Bank of England was the agency of the gold warehouse, responsible for maintaining the price of gold in London and taking various measures to prevent foreign governments from exchanging gold with US dollar foreign exchange.

But the facts proved that this method was useless. The French, an ally of the United States, took the lead this time. The Soviet Union intervened in at the right time. Although it did not have a demonstration effect, it would inevitably not make other economic powers think too much.

France has always been committed to pulling Federal Germany out of the control of the United States. This is not how kind the French are. This improvement of Federal Germany's status is limited to the economic field. France knows that its economy cannot compete with the United States. So it held Federal Germany to protect the interests of Western Europe, but France did not mind that the United States maintained its troops in Federal Germany.

"By the way, you and the allies' intelligence have taken together and achieved great results. However, it is useless for the KGB itself to want so much gold. Can it be handed over to the bank? The country's economic development needs gold as a backing." Brezhnev happened to be right next to him, and Kosigin raised this question at this time.

For departments like the KGB, scientific research institutions must have scientific research institutions and armed forces. To have authority and authority, the Soviet Union needs such a department to use powerful means to hold the entire country hard, but it does not want this department to operate even if it leaves the country. The Soviet Union's US dollar reserves are less than 10 billion, and Kosykin still contacted many allies to raise the money. The KGB took out one billion to Kosykin at one time, and gathered 6 billion yuan of funds with the intelligence departments of the allies. How could this ability not make him vigilant?

"No problem, but the gold that should be given to the Allies should be given to them. All the KGB part is handed over to the country. It is useless for our department to ask for gold. But this time I drained all the funds in Italy and I must take them back to maintain operation!" Serov simply agreed to Kosigin, without any displeasure from his tone to appearance. "On May Day, I will notify the leaders of the intelligence departments of the Allies to come to Moscow. Comrade Kosigin can send someone to check the accounts at that time."

From the beginning, he knew that once his department was mixed in, gold would never be able to be kept. If he had hundreds of tons of gold in his security department, no matter who was in charge of everything, he would be afraid of it. No member of the Central Presidium would have regarded it as not seeing it. He had already prepared for Kosykin's temptation, and the big head was still a secret, which was very good.

"Yura, we don't trust the KGB or you, but you also know that your department is the most important administrative unit of the country. If there is a certain dangerous idea in the security cadres below, it will be unfavorable to you." Brezhnev supported Kosigin's statement next to him. At what time should he support who should support him, he will not make any mistakes, even if his relationship with Kosigin is not good.

"I have no dissatisfaction, oh wait!" Selov took a glass of wine from the plate next to him and handed it to his wife who happened to come down. He said with a smile as he spoke again, "What's the use of gold? We are law enforcement. Should we develop the economy? As long as the Ministry of Finance does not stick to our budget, we will be grateful."

"Don't worry, absolutely not!" Brezhnev said, and looked at Valia and said gently, "Your husband is a very outstanding comrade, Comrade Valia."

"Thank you!" Valia said with a slight forehead, her slender hand holding a wine glass and sipped it. "Yuri told me that you are a respectable elder, and our economic expert Comrade Kosykin, you will defeat the United States and lead our great motherland to victory!"

"There is also the liberation of all mankind!" Selov added with a smile, and then apologized to Brezhnev and Kosigin, "Okay, I'll help her to take a break. By the way, the United States will not always let us exchange gold. I will let the First General Administration pay attention to the movement in this regard."

The Braston Woods system has been partially collapsed from now on, but the United States plans to maintain it for a few years until it is sure to find another thing that supports the US dollar, and the end of this system will be officially announced.

"Our security supervisor is so lazy. I don't know what he looks like when he works hard." Kosykin's eyes were always on the model couple, so he saw Selov, who was resting with his wife, and lay down directly. Yes, he lay down, lying on his side on the chair, and leaning his head on Valia's thigh.

I had no fluctuations in my heart and even wanted to laugh, but I held back. Brezhnev worked very hard to resist this impulse and said in a normal tone, "This is not bad, young people should still enjoy life. In fact, the leaders of the security department have this attitude, which means that the situation in our country is not bad. If Yula is busy all day long, it proves that there are problems in our country!"

At the Kremlin cocktail party, there was only one person who dared to lie down. If it was a formal meeting, Selov's face would inevitably be covered with saliva. "Get the water!" He stuffed two pills into his mouth, and Selov signaled with his eyes.

It has nothing to do with how lively the party this time. Most of the time he just lies down and asks Valia to feed him, which attracts a lot of attention. Overall, since the beginning of this year, the number of such partying parties has increased significantly. There are some good news in the Kremlin, which is usually prepared for Khrushchev to let the moody old man retire happily.

In the past few years, the United States' gold reserves will definitely be remembered. After the cocktail party is over, he will take his wife home. This is Selov's temporary task. As for the dollar crisis and the spring offensive, it has nothing to do with him. As long as the United States does not dare to publicly announce the formal abolition of the US dollar to exchange gold, after France and the Soviet Union, one country will take action. After all, the Soviet Union and France do not occupy much share of the world settlement, and the next opponent can have this ability.

Even in 1968, the pound still occupied one-quarter of the share of international trade settlement. Just as France and the Soviet Union concentrated their firepower to attack the US dollar, the British government announced that the pound was depreciating. Selov suddenly knew that this old imperialism was making relevant preparations. The British and Federal Republic of Germany did not take action, and it had nothing to do with their love for the United States, but they hoped that after the end of the US dollar, they would become the biggest winner. So they did not rush up to defeat the US dollar at this time.

The British government has depreciated through the pound and is concentrating funds. Maybe it is waiting for the next opportunity. Anyway, it is either now or in the future. Once the United States shows weakness, the British will definitely stage a large variety show, "Dad is back..." (~^~)
