Chapter 1005: Selling out Nixon
For the sake of Britain, Alan Wilson could even sell his own soul, and probably there would be no more patriots like him in Britain, being in the center of the enemy country, but still not forgetting to work for the benefit of the country. If there is a next time, he is equally righteous.
“Why don’t you go to the Chinese homeland, Malaya has a large Chinese population, and Indonesia has quite a few as well. It’s easier to try to operate through the Chinese, right?” Foltseva wanted to pull out her hand, tried it still being tightly gripped by Allen Wilson, and could only listen to it.
“It’s a very pointed question. But I have nothing to hide, we feel that there is something wrong with the other party’s mentality, and this is not the right time to make contact.” Alan Wilson said mentally that he wouldn’t dare to get himself involved, playing along with a country with revolutionary fervor was a very dangerous thing to do.
The Soviet Union was different, at least for the time being, the Soviet Union had already passed the stage of booming enthusiasm just after its establishment, fanning the flames everywhere against imperialism. A certain great power is still in that stage.
At the critical moment, people’s revolutionary enthusiasm came up and betrayed Alan Wilson, an imperialist partisan, is not at all with hesitation, and it is not likely that it will also be evaluated with a spiteful tone, the imperialist dog-eat-dog fight, seized by the great …… opportunity and so on.
“Well, it is possible.” Foltseva nodded critically, “I didn’t realize that you Brits see it better than we do, pouring in support only to get this kind of end.”
Foltseva immediately shut up, but how could Allen Wilson not know that a rift had appeared in the hostile camp, smiled slightly, “Supporting the industrialization of other countries would have been a foolish move.”
“Didn’t you guys also support Malaya?” Foltseva tilted her head and asked rhetorically, then smiled bitterly, “By the way, that’s your colony. Of course you guys aren’t worried.”
If I were you guys, I’d just chill all arguments and block all information from the East.
Unfortunately Alan Wilson was British, he could never advise the Soviet Union, the enemy would kill the free world if it grew strong, even if Alan Wilson didn’t think about himself, he had to think about his wife’s miserable life of being penniless and worth more than two billion pounds.
“It took the power of your Soviet Union to support a country like Indonesia. The other countries in your camp can’t do it, and if we work with the Chinese homeland, we also have to consider the fact that the Chinese Indonesians themselves are not trusted by the Indonesian military, and the target is immense. This is not conducive to secrecy, whereas your Soviet Union is much more stealthy when it secretly plots.”
Alan Wilson was still in the final stages of convincing Foltseva, “Once successful, Indonesia would make a very good ally for the Soviet Union, which generally doesn’t have allies in countries in the tropics, and some of the tropical specialties are lacking in the Soviet Union. There is still a lot of complementarity. In fact, for a lot of countries, all it takes is a reliable armed force of a thousand men in size to make a difference. And when the time comes to do it, there’s us in Britain to cooperate.”
“Isn’t your Soviet KGB great? Can’t you infiltrate a small country by stealth?”
Foltseva was somewhat moved, once successful it would be of great benefit to the country, and equally so to herself.
Thinking of this, Foltseva’s face slightly slowed down, “You are earning a lot, if we don’t do anything, the British colonies will gradually be dismantled by the United States, just like the Iranian crisis.”
“Don’t be too complacent, there are still Soviet interests in Iran, the US drove us out and you will be next. The Iranian matter should be considered by your Moscow now.”
Alan Wilson grunted and said in a conspiratorial manner, “And on the issue of Iran, even if we fail to sanction Iran and the US expels the Soviet influence afterward, the UK will stand on the side of the US just the same. If you don’t believe me, you can see when the time comes, if you have to choose an attachment between the Soviet Union and the United States, Britain will inevitably choose the United States.”
“You are trying to say that the Soviet Union should not target Britain.” Foltseva’s eyes rippled with light, and she said with certainty, “Once Britain loses the sphere of influence that supports it, it will reappear with the face of an American vassal. You’re still doing it for Britain.”
“But it’s also good for the Soviet Union.” Still not denying that he was thinking for the sake of Britain’s solid interests, Alan Wilson turned the conversation around and said, “For this one night, what the Soviet Union got out of Britain worked better than how many spies were lurking around. I don’t think it’s too much for me to ask for something.”
Foltseva was stunned, then blushed, and the culture czar who reigned supreme in kitchen debates bent over.
Hoo …… Allen Wilson craned his neck, a face of a great man when it is like this, the close cooperation between Britain and the Soviet Union is also possible on certain occasions, which is a win-win situation.
Late at night at two o’clock, overflowing with happy smiles Foltseva, before leaving the Grand Hotel in Ukraine. The two embraced each other longingly at the time of parting, and by this stage it was clear to each other that the other was an important passer-by in their lives.
“If you had my child, the world would probably be shocked if word got out.” Alan Wilson did not hide his dark mentality, teasing the Culture Czar.
Foltseva blushed slightly but immediately hid it, responding condescendingly, “You’re purely overthinking it.”
“What a shame.” Alan Wilson, carrying a shaking stick, watched Foltseva’s figure disappear by the window, and sleep, loyal and diligent civil servant of the Empire, must now think about returning to his country.
Because of the seamless transmission of the electronic cameras, the entirety of the Kitchen Debate had been transmitted around the world. Each side of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. had its own version of the winner of this debate, insisting that they were the victors.
“I firmly believe that peace and development are the mainstream.” Foreign Secretary Macmillan, back in London, in a radio interview, highlighted the fact that the scene was so tense that he used all his life’s diplomatic experience to mediate, trying to keep the scene from getting out of hand and ease the saber-rattling.
“The question about the Soviet Union’s offer of free trade also lifting the embargo was also on the minds of many citizens at this time.” The moderator nodded then posed the question.
“That is a very pointed question.” Macmillan snorted then said, “You see, from the British perspective, we are of course happy to see peace in the world and emphasize the importance of development. But we also understand that the unevenness of development around the world can’t be generalized, and many lessons have shown that aspirations are good, but there are always all sorts of problems that arise in the course of practice, so it’s a matter of coming up with a sound response. To avoid collateral damage that must not be caused.”
“And the question of structural adjustment that lies at the macro level is a much broader area. But the dialogue has begun positively, and I believe that a constructive program will be brought out in the future, when it will be implemented.”
“What are you looking at me for, this Mr. Editor-in-Chief?” Alan Wilson turned around and looked at the editor-in-chief of the radio station who was staring at himself with a smirking look as if he had noticed something.
“Nothing.” The editor-in-chief withdrew his gaze and asked offhandedly, “Are you satisfied with the minister’s performance?”
“Oh, a very pointed question, I am very willing to answer this question.” Alan Wilson replied unhurriedly, “In terms of the status of civil servants and ministers, I can’t comment on the validity of the minister’s insights on some issues, it would violate the principle of neutrality of civil servants. It would be damaging to the professionalism of Whitehall, in a nutshell ……”
The studio interview continued with the presenter asking the final question, “On the debate on women’s issues, there seems to be something about the minister’s words that have been misunderstood.”
“I absolutely support the protection of women’s rights.” Macmillan’s answer was decisive.
“But the minister seems to have expressed a favorable attitude towards Nixon’s words.” The moderator continued to press relentlessly.
“No, I’m not in favor of it.” Macmillan shrugged off his responsibility, wondering if he had once been to Sichuan to study the nationalism, “On the contrary, I questioned Mr. Nixon’s words and did not agree with his views in their entirety.”
On a major issue involving approval ratings, a politician can’t afford to make a mistake, and Allen Wilson was pleased with Macmillan’s performance, despite betraying Nixon.
It seems that his failure to intercept the question earlier in preparing for the interview still had the effect it should have had.
On the question of himself facing accusations from women voters and Nixon facing female bashing, the old-fashioned Foreign Secretary preferred the latter.
Moscow, at a meeting of the Soviet Central Presidium, when Khrushchev indicated that he was going to visit the United States, Foltseva frowned slightly but swallowed her words; the man who had left Moscow had reminded her that the move to defend Khrushchev back then just wasn’t in line with Soviet politics; just look at what happened to Zhukov.
But there was one person in the Soviet Union who had a very old-fashioned sense of political smell, and that was Brezhnev, and Foltseva, who had wanted to speak, saw that Brezhnev had not spoken.
“We don’t know that we are going to visit the United States, but some important countries.” Khrushchev looked to Foreign Minister Gromyko, “Comrade Gromyko, work out a well thought out itinerary.”
“Comrade Khrushchev, we will make sure to get it right.” Gromyko nodded, coping with the gaze from the First Secretary, “I’m sure the world will be shocked by then.”
People were concerned with whatever the fate of the world was at stake, like Alan Wilson who also had his own job, under the care of Vivienne and Audrey Hepburn, and in the middle of his busy schedule, had to wipe Foreign Secretary Macmillan’s ass.
Through formal and private channels, to clear up misunderstandings with Nixon, Macmillan himself painfully finished, disrespect for women is now all on Nixon, which may affect the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
The clarification through diplomatic channels was formal, the scoop McCarthy got on a private occasion was very powerful.
