Chapter 1008: Each Has Their Own Diplomacy
“In fact, too large a fortune is not good for the child.” Although Pamela Mountbatten said so, she also accepted her husband’s image of a loving father and rubbed her stomach, “The main thing is for the child to grow up peacefully and have an upright character, which is more important than anything else.”
Huh? Alan Wilson pulled a long face, but his mouth went up a set of horse’s ass, fully explaining what it means to kneel and swing.
With her husband visiting her, Pamela Mountbatten, in a good mood, decided to go out for a walk, but she didn’t trust her husband’s driving skills and arranged for an assistant to drive to the selected wind tunnel test site.
“This place is going to be equipped with a nuclear power plant, what do you think?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired, leaning lazily on her husband’s shoulder.
“I see no problem.” Alan Wilson painfully replied, at least the current UK is still the world’s first nuclear power country, although I do not know whether it is a year or two years later, it will be surpassed by the United States and the Soviet Union one after another.
Alan Wilson accompanied his wife to soothe the mood, waiting for the birth of the child, the international situation of the ever-changing marvels revealed undoubtedly. The former British Prime Minister and ex-Labour Party leader, Adderley, visited a major country and was warmly welcomed.
And Khrushchev, also against all odds, embarked on a trip to the United States, with a bright future for all. The dangers of the political situation are evident. Enough to make the most stubborn patriot’s jaw drop.
The head of the rival camp visiting the beacon of the free world, the former prime minister of the old imperialists visiting the number one hitter of the enemy camp. One wonders what France, struggling to brush up its presence after de Gaulle’s rise to power, will think.
Although Adderley stepped down as leader of the Labor Party, but also because he was the first Labor Party prime minister to be in power for a long period of time, his prestige within the Labor Party is still quite high, and he did not set out on his own, but brought a number of Labor Party members to form a delegation.
Seeing her husband holding a whole skywriting newspaper, Pamela Mountbatten curiously inquired, “What does it say?”
“What what does it say, a warm welcome, rating Adderley as the most capable British Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and shrugged his shoulders, “Prime Minister Aidley does have high prestige.”
Adderley had only been Prime Minister for just over five years in history, stepping down because the Korean War was persuaded by the United States to cause economic turmoil in Britain. Whereas this time he won three times in a row, was British Prime Minister for fourteen years, and brought Britain straight out of the quagmire, so it can be said that the only thing Churchill could hold over Aidley now was the politically correct aspect of leading Britain to win the World War.
Now think back to the end of the world war in 1945, Alan Wilson still feel palpitations, Britain was really declining to the extreme, completely in the quagmire, the United States is still tired of the British death is not enough to penetrate, one after another out of the box.
“You sold British India for a good price.” Pamela Mountbatten took one look at her husband’s expression and knew what the man was thinking, and it was true that Britain at that time was in the midst of a hundred industries.
“Such a big piece of land should also be bought for a good price.” Alan Wilson answered his wife’s question positively, “Together with the nearly five million square kilometers of land in British Burma, is it excessive to exchange a few hundred million dollars of life-saving money?”
“Indeed it is not excessive.” Pamela Mountbatten thought deeply, “Do you think Britain’s relationship with them can move forward to good? Wouldn’t it be good for Malaya’s security?”
Alan Wilson shook his head, “That’s a moot point, countries in the revolutionary stage are unpredictable. And even if we were willing, it would depend on whether or not the U.S. agrees.”
“So do you think the US is going to dismantle Britain now, can Britain carry it off?” Pamela Mountbatten changed the question, eyeing her husband.
Alan Wilson, his face thoughtful and uncertain, said, “I think that if the United States were to really turn against us, with Britain’s current national strength, taking out the options other than war, it would be absolutely fine to fight hard for five to ten years. Any more than that and it won’t work.”
The current UK is certainly a lot stronger than the original historical UK, but it’s not completely immune to US suppression.
However, although the one who came to power now was Aiden who fell out of the Suez Cloud Canal War pit, Aiden’s rise to power was not without its benefits; Aiden’s thinking had not shifted, and inwardly he firmly believed that Britain was still the world’s great power, and the United States of America and the Soviet Union were the equal of the country.
It is also believed in later times that Aiden was the last British Prime Minister to believe that Britain was a world power. By the time Macmillan’s tenure was followed by Harold Wilson’s rise to power, Britain had lost its colonies clean and was left with the Sterling area still languishing, completely beyond saving.
Harold Wilson also lost an election halfway through his term, and in the years he lost, Edward Heath was Prime Minister, and the US even dismantled the Sterling Area, so can you blame Alan Wilson for having a problem with the Tories?
Aiden could be considered a more loyal Tory Prime Minister to the UK than any of those Tory Prime Ministers.
“Five to ten years? My goodness.” Pamela Mountbatten had a sad face, “If nothing happens, the future might be very gray.”
Originally, Pamela Mountbatten didn’t have a problem with the United States at all, but her husband couldn’t look at the United States, and after so many years, managed to make her look at the United States as well, and subconsciously feel hostile towards the United States.
“Stop it, this is a time for détente.” Although he said so, Alan Wilson reckoned the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the outbreak of the Vietnam War, if there were these two things, even if the United States suppressed the United Kingdom, hard resistance for a period of time the United States would still be diverted by the change in the situation.
The key is that he already has Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe rendezvous real evidence, really can not be spread out. He had sent people to the US to squat for so long, and it had finally paid off.
During this time when he was being a good father, Khrushchev took Foltseva, who had made a big splash in the kitchen debates, and kicked off a visit to the United States, the Shock the World Tour, according to official Soviet parlance.
Khrushchev traveled on a Tu-114 airliner, the world’s first turboprop intercontinental voyage airliner, which was able to fly directly to the United States without a stopover.
“A quick hello to my domestic hair colleagues, and I see that the photo of Khrushchev with a corncob could be improvised.” Alan Wilson, who accompanied his wife, did not forget to stir up US-Soviet relations at this time. If these two countries eased their relations, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Britain?
What Alan Wilson hoped was that before Khrushchev returned to the Soviet Union, the photo of Khrushchev holding a corncob should first take the world by storm.
For the sake of safeguarding Britain’s interests, it would be better for both countries not to care so much, and how much better it would be for everyone.
In addition to Khrushchev being sought after, Foltseva, a member of the Central Presidium of the USSR who accompanied him, was the center of attention in the line.
Foltseva, who made a big splash in the middle of the kitchen debate, was chosen by Khrushchev to accompany him on his visit to the U.S. It was also counted on that Foltseva would be able to play the role of a boxer, and use her status as the most successful woman in the Soviet Union to draw closer to American women.
The effect is quite good, Foltseva in the kitchen debate when Nixon’s face, put forward women’s rights words. This made her as popular as she was in the United States.
In the invitation to Foltsevar’s speech, Foltsevar in the Soviet Union to do the experience of the Minister of Education, so that she is comfortable with this occasion, she showed her usual style, off-script speech fluent and full of enthusiasm, able to unexpected faults courage to admit, and repentance to admit faults.
Such encounters impressed those who met Foltseva that the most powerful woman in the Soviet Union was very much a real person, sincere and charismatic. This was certainly true; Alan Wilson had even delved into Foltseva’s inner beauty, which no one else in the free world could have except him.
In response to some comments on her appearance in a frivolous tone, Foltseva was generous and said, “To be honest, I think I’m pretty good-looking, and if I were a few years younger, I would have answered more dryly.”
This kind of blunt answer won a round of applause, and no one expected the most powerful woman in the Soviet Union to have such a side, which had to be hauntingly good.
This time Alan Wilson also received about a large country chargé d’affaires sent a message, although it is a former prime minister, Aidley a trip to visit is still effective, such as the development of economic and trade relations between the two countries are also talking about.
“Tell Richard about the development of economic and trade relations. We never rule out economic and trade relations.” Alan Wilson had to keep an eye on Khrushchev’s party at one time and on Adderley’s party at another time during his vacation time.
Although he was not in London at the moment, but in Perth, Australia, accompanying his wife to wait for her due date, he was not idle all the same.
“I’ll see you have a talk with the Australian Foreign Office, there are still a few days left anyway.” Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help but be a little amused, thinking of her Perth Mountbatten House as the Foreign Office?
“Talking isn’t out of the question, but I’m not going to Canberra, I don’t want to be too far away from you right now.” Alan Wilson didn’t even think about the PUA, definitely not leaving when his wife was about to have a baby.
So two days later, right here in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, he and the Australian diplomat started talking about the British position in the Antarctic Conference, “Britain will certainly strongly support Australia’s claim, although there may be some movement on the Soviet side. Has Australia communicated with the American side?”
“How could the US not support Australia? With the support of the United States and Britain, I believe our claim will definitely pass.” The Australian diplomat was confident.
Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, “I hope so, it seems that public opinion should put the US on the shelf.
With the timing of Khrushchev’s visit to the United States now, two months from now, even if something were to happen to worsen conditions between the two countries, it wouldn’t be enough to invalidate the détente period so quickly, and the United States and the USSR being on the same page was practically a foregone conclusion.
Demonstrating Britain’s firm support for Australia, Alan Wilson waited for the child to be born, his wife’s indicators in all areas were stable and she would surely give birth to a healthy child.
