Chapter 855 The New Best Middleman
Under the eyes of more than a dozen people, Li Changheng said seriously, "Gentlemen, I have received the authorization from His Majesty Philip and Wilson.
I myself reported this incident to His Majesty Philip as soon as possible, and won Lord Mountbatten for England for 72 hours.
It has the right to arrest any rebels who resist, and can use any material means in case of emergency. "
Everyone's face changed drastically, any means meant a license to kill.
Just now I thought that Li Changheng and everyone were in the same group, even if they didn't participate in the plan to overthrow Wilson, at least they had the same idea.
But within ten minutes, he turned around and planned to kill someone?
And Li Changheng glanced at Mountbatten, who was overjoyed, and knew that this old guy should be very satisfied with the so-called saying that he helped England get 72 hours.
He continued with a smile, "Gentlemen, in the name of the king, you have been arrested."
A group of people looked at me and I looked at you for a while, and soon realized the loophole of this arrest in the name of the king.
In fact, Philip had no right to arrest people at all, but the situation was urgent and premeditated rebellion was involved.
Everyone knows how many charges there are.
Therefore, except for Mountbatten, who had already been ruled out of suspicion, if everyone really had to choose, they would definitely not want to be captured by the English police, secret agents and other agencies.
Arresting people in the name of Philip means that everyone is separated from Wilson's first project and Downing Street.
Don't look at just this layer, but it is equivalent to deciding whether everyone lives or dies.
And probably because the four suggestions Li Changheng just put forward are beneficial to both big capital and nobles, and he has already helped everyone secretly once.
After Li Changheng announced that everyone was arrested, no one jumped out to refute and argue about the legality.
As for resistance.
No one really dared to jump out to make trouble or pull out a gun after Li Changheng said that he had obtained the right to shoot.
Everyone looked at each other, and seeing that no one was the first bird, they quickly leaned back in their chairs as if discouraged.
After a while, Brett King, who was the only one who had ever spoken, summoned up his last courage and made a final struggle to sit upright.
Looking at Li Changheng, he asked, "Lord Selby, I would like to know, if you support Wilson, what advice would you give him in the current situation?"
Not to mention Li Changheng, even Wilson and the cabinet members on the other side of Downing Street were stunned when they heard this.
Immediately everyone thought of the Mirror under the Brett King family, one of the biggest supporters of the Labor Party.
The only puzzling thing is that the Mirror is also the media that criticizes the Labor Party the most.
This guy is asking these things now, just to gain the favor of the Labor Party, hoping to let him go, or reduce the punishment.
Li Changheng frowned and thought for a few seconds. If he wanted to get a mirror report, he would use pleading and threats.
But if Brett King and his uncle Cecil King would rather go to jail than sell the newspaper, no one could force them to sell the Mirror.
And if there is an opportunity to befriend Wilson, of course he will not let it go.
After all, at this time, it is the Labor Party that is in power in Downing Street, and if Wilson does not suffer from Alzheimer's disease in the future, no one knows whether he will be re-elected for the fifth time.
Of course, Li Changheng didn't really care much about political matters, and for a moment he thought of how to say it would be beneficial to him.
After thinking for a while, he said, "As far as I know, during the oil crisis, a large amount of funds panicked out of England, the first thing to implement is exchange control.
Although we are unwilling to admit it, the hegemony of the US dollar did not follow the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, that is, the decoupling of the US dollar from gold, and the US dollar lost its dominant position as a global currency.
And the United States, the world's largest consumer market, is a market that no country or company can give up.
So we also recognize the U.S. dollar and use it as the settlement currency.
In the future, in addition to gold reserves, any country must reserve enough US dollars to deal with possible shortages of money and avoid continuous depreciation of its currency. "
This suggestion is actually easy to understand. Whether it is the people in the study or the people on the other side of Downing Street, they think it is feasible after a little thought.
But money will not increase for no reason, and it is even more impossible to sell a large amount of domestic products in a short period of time and get billions of dollars.
So Li Changheng continued, "The second proposal may have countless England scolding me, but if I were Wilson, my term of office has passed half anyway, for the sake of short-term interests and political leverage.
Mandatory use of British pounds to repurchase foreign exchange securities and U.S. dollars in the hands of everyone in England. "
FKU, everyone in the study cursed in their hearts instantly.
Knowing that the pound will fall, handing over the foreign exchange in your hands to Downing Street is tantamount to robbing everyone's wealth.
But the unlucky thing about this is the rich and the big aristocrats, the middle and lower class people don't care at all, and when they hate the rich and jealous, they will support the Labor Party even more.
So at Downing Street, after listening to it, some people started to feel excited.
Just like what Li Changheng said, anyway, Wilson's term is more than half, and the economy will be boosted in the short term. Judging from England's system of early elections.
Obtaining the support of a large number of people at the bottom means that the probability of winning is very high.
Wilson would then serve a full five-year term.
This is much more beneficial than waiting two years later, when the term of office is about to expire, and the economy is getting worse and worse.
Wilson and the members of the cabinet suddenly felt that Li Changheng might be a more suitable intermediary than Mountbatten.
The contradictions between the aristocracy, big capital, and the middle and lower classes in England will never disappear and cannot be alleviated.
There is someone accepted and recognized by everyone to act as a middleman and a mouthpiece for mediating conflicts.
It is possible to know the bottom line and conditions of the opponent as much as possible, and it is also possible to avoid direct talks, which may cause the negotiation to break down.
Moreover, while Li Changheng is the hereditary viscount of England, his focus has always been on the United States.
It can be said that the interests of England are not his core interests. An outsider to some extent is indeed the best middleman.
In addition, politicians and nobles all know that Li Changheng's connections and influence in the United States are even deeper than those in Downing Street and the royal family.
Wilson took a few puffs of his pipe and looked at the cabinet members sitting opposite him, "Do you think Lord Selby can replace Lord Mountbatten's original role?"
Some people nodded, some said to look again, Wilson thought for a few seconds, and nodded himself.
Then I heard Li Changheng's voice coming from the PA microphone.
"The third is to significantly reduce the expenditure on women's defense."
"This is definitely not possible," Mountbatten retorted Li Changheng immediately, "Without the support of the military, we will lose more allies and interests.
Moreover, it is impossible for you not to know that the truth is only within the range of the cannon. "
