Chapter 1037 Arbiter India
New Delhi, the capital of India, Nehru could not hide his excitement and was combative in front of many cabinet ministers, “Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union plus Germany, that’s the major powers in the world, we have to recognize one thing, in the midst of the current international situation, India is able to get together with these countries to solve the problem of the Middle East, and this in itself is an affirmation for India. In this regard, India should not run away from it and should not hesitate to shoulder the international responsibility that is placed on it.”
In Nehru’s eyes, this was a more significant international conference than the Geneva Peace Conference, which had deliberated on Korea and Vietnam a few years earlier, and the Bandung Conference, and the stakes were just more than a little higher.
Apart from Germany, which was once the leader of the Axis powers, Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union were all major victors in development, and to be at a negotiating table with these countries, discussing topics that would determine the fate of another country, was an honor no matter how you looked at it.
Ministers of the Nehru government also nodded their heads, Lal – **** – Shastri immediately spoke in favor of, “India’s statement is very important, not only Britain has a request to us. The Soviet Union and our relationship is also very good, at this time, the international environment is quite favorable to India, once the success of the Iranian oil crisis will be resolved, India’s image of a responsible great power, will be further enhanced.”
Lal **** Shastri, who is also a Congress Party patriarch and has gone through quite a long struggle, immediately expressed his support for the British initiative as a good opportunity.
Another important Congress figure, Morarji Ranchhodi Desai, on the other hand, was in the midst of thinking.
Unlike Shastri, Desai’s political spectrum is more in favor of Patel, the late former deputy prime minister and home minister, and belongs to the conservative wing in the Congress party.
After Shastri took a stand, there were a number of ministers who were also waiting for his opinion, and finally Desai nodded and said, “The Middle East is the world’s energy center, and it is certainly very important for India. With India’s vast population, and scarce oil resources, there is an opportunity to be able to exert influence in the Middle East, an opportunity not to be missed.”
“I think so too.” The two patriarchs successively expressed their positions, so that Nehru was very happy, hard to hide his excitement, he left his seat, walked around the conference room, while walking, “take advantage of this meeting, so that the world can see the role of India, now many places are coming out of the colonial system, the newly independent countries need India to lead, in order to be able to talk to the suzerain state on an equal footing, India can not evade this responsibility.”
“The world cannot be in a confrontation between two military blocs, there is a need for many peace-loving nations to come together to stop the recurrence of world wars, and there is no doubt that India should be at the forefront of this and be the third force in guarding the peace.”
Nehru, who is also the Foreign Minister, has been working to open up the international arena in recent years, and the previous Bandung Conference was for this purpose, “Once the six-party talks are successful, we will use it to convene a non-aligned conference to unite and strengthen ourselves, independent of the United States and the Soviet Union.”
Whether it was Shastri or Desai, hearing Nehru say so were excited in their hearts, this is also the grand blueprint that the two want to realize, only in this way, India will be able to stand squarely in the forest of the world’s nationalities, and to become a great power of sound and color.
Since it has been supported by the Congress Party factions, Nehru himself is India’s foreign minister, immediately on behalf of India to Britain’s appeal to give a positive response, willing to shoulder the international responsibility for the Iranian oil crisis.
India almost immediately responded positively to Britain, and then France, after de Gaulle came to power, the French political situation is not in chaos, efficiency has increased, Britain wants France to stall the United States, France also wants Britain to stall the United States, for which de Gaulle’s government gave Britain’s advocacy of a supportive attitude.
In the Kremlin, the center of power in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev wore a genuine smile and did not hide his jocular mindset towards the imperialist dog-eat-dog, before pretending to be the collective leader of the group and asking the others for their opinions.
Foltseva has only been back for a few days, with a smile, “In fact, from the British invitation to visit London can be seen, in the face of U.S. suppression, Britain is trying to resist, but out of the disparity in strength, but also do not dare to face to face confrontation, and then came up with ways to complicate the problem, my previous visit to London, but also Britain to do it to the Americans to see. ”
“Otherwise, it should be Comrade Gromyko who visits, he is the foreign minister.”
“Let’s join in first and talk about it, as to whether we will take a neutral position or side with Iran after the conference is held. Let’s see if the circumstances are favorable to the Soviet Union at that time.”
Shlepian spoke up at this point, “The triangle has stability, and we have to think about whether or not the Americans will take advantage of the fact that once Britain is squeezed out of Iran by the U.S., they will think that they can replicate the old story of squeezing out the U.K. and come after us.”
“Shurik’s idea is important.” Brezhnev, still looking his old self, said, “Imperialism has never known what humility means, and when they are willing to sit down and talk, there must be no other way. Britain conceded defeat, and it would be bad for the United States to wishfully think that the Soviet Union would still concede defeat.”
“Comrade Gromyko, formally respond to the British side that the USSR is willing to participate in this Six-Party Talks in a fair and impartial manner to do its part in resolving the Iranian oil crisis and averting a humanitarian disaster.”
The Soviet Union became the third country to respond to Britain’s appeal, and by now the Soviet Union, France, and Britain, plus India, had four countries willing to sit down and talk about the Iranian oil crisis, including the leader of the Third World, two important members of the free world, and the leaders of the opposing camps.
For a time, my Great Britain was extremely sublimated, and the glorious era was back, and some operations caused an earthquake in the world’s diplomatic field.
Almost at the same time, British public opinion began to press Germany, with all sorts of connotations of Germany, “If Germany doesn’t take part forget it, even if you take out Germany, the defeated country, the world is not reduced to its major countries.”
In Kinshasa, the capital of the Belgian Congo, Alan Wilson is striding along listening to Ingram’s reports, including but not limited to who the American delegates are, who the French delegates are, and when the King of Belgium will arrive.
“Any movement on the Gold Coast?” Allen Wilson inquired of the subordinate, “Now that the Belgian Congo is also about to become independent, there’s no commotion on your end?”
“Not for the time being. I’m having good talks with a lot of the upper echelons.” Ingram immediately replied, “The matter of the Windsor Castle Hotel has already been finalized, I don’t know when Your Highness needs the transfer documents.”
“Ma …… how do I know about Her Royal Highness’s itinerary.” Alan Wilson paused for a moment and said, “But the colonial thing, we still think more about the feelings of the royal family, who let the politicians sometimes sometimes like to mess around. Just tell the Gold Coast side that as long as the Nigerian autonomous territories are independent, the Gold Coast is automatically on the independence agenda. We in Britain are true to our word.”
At the Belgian colony, Alan Wilson was talking about the British colonies.
“We have recently discovered iron ore in northern Ghana.” Ingram has been carrying out the matter of tapping the internal potential for the past few years, which simply means that the resources of managing the colony will be probed to understand, and only this matter is in the concern at all times, and it is the right time to report to the top boss and wait for Allen Wilson’s attitude.
“Oh, I don’t have any other meaning, the key is to need a group with excellent technology and strong financial strength to do this.” Alan Wilson said in a bashful tone, “Of course everything is bidding in a fair and equitable manner.”
“It will be of course!” Ingram solemn statement, absolutely only technically sound, financially strong Mountbatten Group can develop it, Britain simply does not exist there are other steel groups have this qualification.
“The Gold Coast is really a good place, if not we do our best to benefit the local, the treasury did not have more than four thousand tons of gold, on the Iranian oil crisis this matter, the United States two or three months will be able to solve us. Where are the six-party talks.” Alan Wilson snorted, “The stability of the Gold Coast has your credit.”
Life on the Gold Coast was second to none in Africa, thanks to the mainstay industry of the last decade, gold and diamond mining.
For Ghana, which has just over four million people, and a good number who are not in the adult labor force, it’s also almost standard for resource countries.
It’s also the mindset that Ingram has instilled in the Gold Coast locals in recent years; it doesn’t take much hard work at all to keep the population under control, and the people of the Gold Coast can live much better than the rest of the country.
The Gold Coast has the resources to afford big builds even more easily than Nigeria, which is also in West Africa. And with Britain’s industrial strength, taking care of a colony with such a small population was still a breeze.
Of course, the consequence is that the gold and diamonds were not only taken away by Britain, so the accumulation of up to 350 million pounds of foreign exchange reserves, but also turned into reinforced concrete.
As the earliest infrastructure maniac, Britain is not lost infrastructure maniac ability, but lost the ability to have no money areas infrastructure maniac, like the Gold Coast rich in gold and diamonds, Britain is not unable to dream back to the nineteenth century.
After taking out Kwame Nkrumah, that ungrateful bastard, Britain took out a little bit of goodwill, and was able to set up a beacon of democracy in West Africa on the basis of the gold and diamonds that existed on the Gold Coast itself, with the capital city of Accra now being a major city in West Africa of more than a million people, while the people of the Gold Coast just had to hand over the gold and diamonds that they mined, and didn’t even have to do so as much as they should have done.
“In fact, the Gold Coast’s upper class is so rich that my wife has recently been preparing to set up a car sales network. Do you see this matter?” Alan Wilson raised one eyebrow and asked Ingram if it was out of order.
What was out of order about the colony, who didn’t come here to benefit society? Ingram said that some military facilities could be handed over to the Mountbatten Group to be used as warehouses and points of sale, which would also contribute to improving the local economy.
The two of them were chatting happily, Allen Wilson’s chief private secretary, Wick, trotted over and said, “The person attending on the US side is Under Secretary of State Smith.”
“It’s this asshole again. How come it’s him again!” Alan Wilson had an impatient look on his face, “Any good news.”
“I don’t know if a movie team that is picking up scenes in Kinshasa counts, I heard it’s a scouting trip for a new movie, and it’s led by the president, Ms. Ingrid Bergman herself.” Wick thought for half a second, wondering if that counted as good news.
“It’s better news than the one just now.” Alan Wilson coughed softly, “I should think about how to deal with this American, he’s sure to ask me if I know about the Six-Party Talks.”
