Chapter 1079 – Aiden Scandal
“Finally once again, we have come to this place where civilization began.” After arriving in Basra’s, Alan Wilson was filled with emotion, his gaze seemed to have traveled through thousands of years to be able to see the waves of Sumerian civilization.
The man seemed to be literary all of a sudden, and Hepburn was wearing a mask and large sunglasses, her gaze behind the lenses full of curiosity. A permanent undersecretary of the Foreign Office, leaving England instead became easy.
The two did not delay in the airport for too long, Hepburn then took a car to leave, an hour later, the two stayed together in the Windsor Castle Hotel, familiar Arab robes enveloping the whole body, the Arab Wilson once again appeared.
Just such a period of time, Alan Wilson also had some communication with the Indians, Hepburn is not too interested in this kind of thing, but since he came, he still inquired about the situation.
“Indians? Hah!” Alan Wilson contemptuous smile, “always think how important they are, in fact in the eyes of Britain is not as good as Egypt, pull India to only make up the head, talk about things and India has nothing to do with India, India also do not want to a certain get what interests.”
“That is also an old great country.” Hepburn’s life story was less grounded, but it also maintained a good deal of goodness.
“That’s true, that’s why India is still eligible to participate in the Six-Party Talks, and the Iraqis are disgruntled if Egypt is allowed to participate.”
Alan Wilson shook his head, expressing the difficulty of balancing the work, “The descendants of these ancient civilizations, the historical baggage is too heavy, support who does not support, the other must be uncomfortable in the heart.”
This is the kind of relationship between Egypt and Iraq, more than history, if you will, the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations are intertwined.
Don’t think that just because the two places are now predominantly Arab that the two countries don’t care about ancient civilizations.
The Iraq that Alan Wilson remembers, the national anthem during Saddam’s time, contains lyrics that glorify Sumer, Babylon and Assyria, and the Iraqis are also proud of the civilization of the two river valleys.
As for ancient Egypt it is also seen as a national pride by Egyptians, even if most of them speak Arabic.
“I thought these countries would be sympathetic.” Hepburn was as simple as white paper in this regard, and her first reaction to the man’s words was disbelief.
“If you ever meet an Egyptian, never mention India in front of an Egyptian.” Alan Wilson reminded Ballflower, “Egyptians don’t have a good impression of India. There is talk within Egypt of Indian scholars questioning ancient Egyptian civilization.”
The Indians said that the ancient Egyptian civilization was false, especially the group of scholars represented by Singh, a famous scholar during the British India period, as to why the Egyptians would know, when Alan Wilson, the permanent undersecretary, was on a diet?
Allen Wilson a master of the keyway, naturally know what is wrong with the men of the keyway politics, the topic of history has never occupied a large part of the keyway masters of the conversation, this reasoning is globally applicable.
Because of this, picking on countries in historical issues is the way to go, and it costs almost nothing for Britain to have an effect, so why not do it?
Iraq had a bullshit civilization, what with Sumer and Babylon being British creations. What bullshit pyramids in Egypt, Napoleon made them, there was no second choice.
Similarly there is no ancient civilization in India, do you know if the archaeological findings of the British were true or not when they established British India?
The whole theory of questioning has to be carried out with Ancient Egypt at its core for the simple reason that Egypt is so hardened by its discoveries in the field of archaeology that if Egypt can be knocked down in history, all the civilizations of the world can be knocked down.
The Hoover Pyramid, as it is remembered, is actually just one of over a hundred surviving pyramids in Egypt.
There are also pyramids that exist with only their approximate outlines remaining, and with those that have been in the elements for thousands of years, the original number of pyramids is a rather frightening number. Add to that, the Valley of the Emperors, the hundreds of thousands of mummies of various creatures and Egyptian artifacts that have been unearthed.
It can be said that Egypt in the ancient civilization in the middle of the existence of a unique class, only Egypt questioned the share of other civilizations, no civilization can question Egypt. It is only with this kind of heritage that the spearhead of questioning should be directed at ancient Egypt, because ancient Egypt was able to carry the questioning.
Compared to Ancient Egypt, the ancient Greek city-states of the Two Rivers Valley and the Eastern Mediterranean are thin on the ground. As for other civilizations, they can really be classified as among others.
News in a different realm would be that China, the US, Russia and two other countries have jointly declared that they will not fight a nuclear war.
The location of the ancient Egyptian civilization, the Sumerian civilization and later the Greek city-states, in a straight line, is actually very close, and in terms of area it’s pretty much an area as large as south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River. It is also home to the largest number of archaeological finds in the world, and has a dry climate suitable for preservation.
The distance between India and the first three is considered remote and mountainous, and it is most appropriate to use to pull hate. Mr. Singh, also known as Allen Wilson’s pen name during the period of British India, at the same time questioned whether the three existed, and it is true that there is a sound of a large country.
On this side he was feeling the human history of the place where civilization began, with Hepburn of course.
On the other side, about the British Aidan government to increase the military budget to express support for the shipbuilding industry, in the House of Commons also aroused the questioning of the Labor Party.
Prime Minister Aidan in the House of Commons to three reasons to elaborate their defense budget to increase the allocation, the first is the United States expects the United Kingdom to increase the military budget to protect the European countries from the threat of war, the United States has been appealing for not a year or two, he is not accusing the Labour government has been deaf, but now the size of the UK’s economy, has been to maintain a 1.5 billion or 6 billion pounds of the budget is obviously not appropriate.
Knowing that the total economic output of the United States is more than three times that of the United Kingdom, military expenditure is ten times that of the United Kingdom, and the United States is also sick and tired of the United Kingdom’s focus on making money without assuming military responsibility.
The second point is that the war in Algeria has not yet stopped, and the safety of shipping along the Mediterranean must be emphasized.
Knowing that shipping routes to and from Asian markets passed through Mediterranean waters, Britain had to contain the war’s threat to Britain’s lifeline.
The last point is to save the shipbuilding industry, Aidan stayed in the House of Commons for several hours to accept the questioning, finally waded through.
The increase in military spending represented the official end of the days when the British military had been scrimping and saving after the war.
Mountbatten, the British Army’s full-time commander of all three services, could breathe a sigh of relief, and knew that the test had only just begun; now that military spending had been increased, his biggest problem for some time to come would be dealing with the outstretched hands of the services.
“The American claim is still not good for Britain. I’m going to relay the American claim to the Cabinet as it is.” On the site of the Six-Party Talks, Alan Wilson said with an expressionless face, “Britain is quite disappointed with the perfunctory attitude of a close ally.”
The Six-Party Talks were held, and Allen Wilson predicted that it would become a reality, and that the attitude of the United States would not change because of the change of government.
In the slot of the Six-Party Talks, Dean Rusk, in his capacity as US Secretary of State, sent a high-profile visit to Britain. As for the purpose, it was obvious.
Before he was Secretary of State, he was the Chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation, so naturally, he had to represent the attitude of the United States now, and make the United Kingdom stop in moderation; the United States was already dissatisfied with the framework of the Six-Party Talks, as was the Kennedy administration.
Aiden had been very welcoming to Dean Rask’s arrival, but after meeting him and knowing that the US attitude had not changed, he instantly reacted coldly, “This is not fair to the UK, the most important issue for the US right now is to respond aggressively and forcefully to the USSR, and above all to respond to the threat of Soviet space technology, and I think that President Kennedy should understand who really can make a challenge to America’s position to make a challenge to the United States.”
Dean Lasker was bitter, a moderate man by nature, willing to pay his way and go back and forth with diplomacy, but now that he was in the Secretary of State’s seat, he was going to do his best to turn the expectations of his goldmasters and the U.S. government into reality.
It was at the Virginia meeting of the Rockefeller Foundation that Dean Rask first learned, in the mouths of the Rockefeller Foundation trustees, that the Kennedy administration had made itself Secretary of State.
Not long after this meeting, Kennedy officially appointed him Secretary of State. The appointment came as a surprise to many.
Such a resume was not convincing to Aiden, who had been Foreign Secretary during World War II and now dominated foreign affairs, and Dean Rusk’s trip to London was naturally a fruitless one.
Also in Basra, farewell old friend Smith, ushered in a new friend Allen Wilson, still unassuming grinding time, the U.S. attitude has not changed right, the British attitude has not changed. The whole atmosphere of the meeting was boring and drowsy, and it was known before the meeting that the meeting would not be fruitful, and the representatives of various countries naturally waited for the meeting to be adjourned.
For him, being able to delay for a day was a victory, and naturally it didn’t matter if there was any breakthrough.
Washington, Dean Lasker returns from his visit and reports to the Kennedy administration on the British attitude, “No progress, Aidan is like Churchill, unreasonable, as if he were living in a previous era.”
“Hmmm!” Kennedy let out a long snort, then said, “Dean, you’ve worked hard too, it’s not your fault.”
When Dean Lasker left, Kennedy picked up the phone, “Have the Director of Central Intelligence come to the White House.”
On the diplomatic scene, with Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Attorney General, CIA Director Allen Dulles and military officials of greater authority, Dean Rask was more of a symbolic figure with a good image.
“We have a classified message about Aidan that we might be able to capitalize on.” Allen Dulles, after learning of the lukewarm British response, “might be able to keep Aiden’s hands full.”
Just as Alan Wilson was returning to London for his regular report, the Aiden scandal was revealed all at once, and reports that the Prime Minister was a drug addict were reprinted in all the major newspapers, and immediately all the major newspapers in the United States joined in the story, and the whole of world public opinion was set ablaze at once.
Aiden had a routine gallstone operation, but did not expect it to be the turning point of his life.
Doctors cut off his bile ducts due to a mistake, and in order to stop the excruciating pain, they used a new potent drug, amphetamine, also known as methamphetamine. Not only was the drug extremely addictive, but of course, the incident was kept strictly confidential.
