Chapter 1084 – Son’s Future

Oh, the conference room erupted into a burst of laughter, the current complicated relationship between Britain and the United States, resulting in British diplomats, some taunts towards the United States also appeared, especially when it comes to this kind of thing.

The British were never lacking in the courage to mock others, and the United States was among that range.

“Italians on our side.” The segment from the North African battlefield reappeared in the mouths of British diplomats.

“It’s strange how an American intervention in such a small country can fail.” Dixon spoke in disbelief, “In that case, we are really worried about the American garrison in Europe, the Soviet Union can be much harder to deal with than Cuba.”

“It’s not that serious.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to stop the continued taunting.

He was merely taking the opportunity to mock the United States, not really thinking that the United States couldn’t do it.

It might not be as intimidating as the Soviet Union coming in militarily, but if that was the reason for thinking that the US was a paper tiger, that wasn’t an objective understanding either. If the United States is a paper tiger, wouldn’t the parallel Soviet Union be no stronger?

Is it possible that the real hidden dominators of this era are Britain and France? That’s probably not even believed by the British and French’s own citizens.

It’s just that Cuba happens to be outside the comfort zone of the US military, but not the UK, which is in every way within the comfort zone of the US, which can’t clean up any other country, and wants to do something about the UK, and the UK is the hardest hit.

What do you mean by comfort zone? It means matching the best opponents. The most obvious example is the German-French engagement during World War II.

Although the French army is not worse than the German army in terms of hardware, but the tactical thinking lags behind an era, the collision of the two countries French army can be in a localized position to show off a little bit of Europe’s first army, but in the overall situation by the German army instantly slit their throats.

Britain and the United States is now this kind of relationship, the most powerful Royal Navy is also just a downsized U.S. Navy. Actually in the middle of America’s comfort zone.

One has to be behind in just the right position to be held securely in order to do so, too far behind is not an option. Being too far behind also takes the opponent out of their best fighting style, which is why some seemingly weak places can cause trouble for powerful nations.

The Qing army of the Opium War and the subcontinent army of British colonial India were in the comfort zone of the British army a hundred years ago, these armies were not mere cold warrior armies, on the contrary they were also decent armies in their localities, but these armies had the same skill points as the British army, they had points up to fifty and the British army had points up to one hundred, the result was that the British army was not unfamiliar with the enemy’s way of fighting and ate them up steadily without any effort.

And too backward a little bit of skill points do not point, but will cause great trouble to Britain. For example, the Zulu people in Africa, people do not point skills, the British army is also completely unfamiliar with this kind of combat, an inattention will be overturned.

The solution? Make the Indians a British aid against these totally unskilled enemies.

If Alan Wilson had been in the position he is in today, 60 or 70 years ago, he would have formulated a policy of hiring the Qing army to go to Africa to clean up the natives of Africa, who were not modernized at all, and who happened to be at the next level, that is, in the comfort zone of the Qing army.

The original intention was naturally to state the true level of the African natives, and to ask the Qing army to clear the field, and it’s not as if they hadn’t done it before in Jungfrau.

This is the reason why the Qing army in the beginning before the arrival of the British army, hammering all over East Asia, but was hung up by the British army to fight.

Specifically with the current Bay of Pigs incident the US is in the dust, the UK scoffs and scoffs, don’t really think that the US is outwardly superior, it may be for the third world, not at all for these countries in Europe.

But ridicule ridicule is harmless, Alan Wilson on really through the ambassador to the United States, expressed Britain’s concern about the failure of the Bay of Pigs incident, although not explicitly, but did mention the Korean War in passing, said the U.S. military or do not always get involved in this kind of action to reveal the original face, otherwise it will not be able to bluff the Soviet Union.

In fact, he spoke out at this time, somewhat inconsistent with the position of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, because the Soviet delegation, after completing its visit to Italy and France, will arrive in London tomorrow for a five-day visit, and after completing its trip to Europe, this visit to Europe will be over, with the United Kingdom being the last stop.

While the Kremlin was still paying lip service to the U.S. move to invade Cuba, the Soviet delegation arrived in London, where Foltseva appeared in carefully chosen clothes over a torso that had recently focused on exercising, wearing delicate makeup.

“She still takes me seriously!” Alan Wilson could tell at a glance the elaborate preparations of the Culture Tsar, having had ample experience in dealing with women of this age group. Being able to tell from the face if a woman worked out regularly.

The face of a woman who regularly worked out would appear hard lines, but compared to stepping into aging, less feminine could only be considered a minor flaw.

After shaking each other’s hands in a pretense of seriousness, the main welcome was centered on Gagarin, the first human to take to the skies.

In the world’s mainstream countries, Gagarin is now really belongs to the hero of all mankind, out of the airport, Londoners are also crowded, want to see the human space first person style.

In the final schedule, Gagarin will also go to Buckingham Palace, personally entertained by Queen Elizabeth, for this hero of all mankind, showing the highest field of Britain, pay high tribute. Of course that was the final arrangement.

Gagarin traveled in an open car and was warmly welcomed by British citizens wherever he went. Many, even women, climbed onto the roofs hoping to get a good look at what the first man to break away from the earth’s gravity actually looked like.

On the first day of the program, at the strong request of the Soviet side, Gagarin would lay a bouquet of flowers at Marx’s grave.

Macmillan also had to go against his heart and state that Marx was a great man with such a profound influence.

Six hundred journalists flocked to Earls Court, where Gagarin was being interviewed, showing the popularity of the first man in space in Britain.

“What a surprise.” Macmillan, who was temporarily in a secure position, was greatly surprised, he simply did not anticipate that Britain would be so welcoming to a Soviet.

“Who made him the real first man in space?” Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and inquired in a low voice, “Shall we stroll some rumors …… well, reasonable range of doubt that the Soviet Union’s access to the sky was faked. In all fairness this tactic is better suited to the kind of social environment in the US where there are so many fools, probably not so much to the UK.”

Macmillan, whose mother was an American, heard some of this in his heart, but couldn’t say anything, “Or don’t do that.”

What do you mean by fatherly majesty? Alan Wilson thought the problem was that he had obviously just finished taunting the Americans, but because of Gagarin and the visit of the Soviet delegation to the UK, the Americans had to express their concern for the UK, emphasizing emphatically that the Anglo-American Special Relationship has had occasional ups and downs but has been solid.

Generally emphasize the special relationship between Britain and the United States most of the time is Britain, Gagarin’s visit, even let the United States took the initiative to mention the special relationship between Britain and the United States, this is really rare.

Alan Wilson was in a good mood, and the return telegram showed that the Anglo-American special relationship was unbreakable. This is just a normal visit.

In the evening, he went to the personally arranged hotel with great gusto to share this joy with the Culture Czar, and it was obvious that Foltseva was also waiting for him, and the two were not destined to see each other very often in their capacity, and each meeting was worth cherishing in its own right.

“It would have been quite difficult for us without your decisive Soviet action in the Congo.” Alan Wilson wrapped his arms around the Culture Tsar’s body with an underhanded look that the world was in my hands, “Still, on the Iranian front, Britain was under considerable pressure. We back off and you’re next on the American agenda.”

The latest Cuban issue, Alan Wilson or not much to talk about, he still has reservations about the Cuban Missile Crisis or appeared, more in line with the interests of the United Kingdom, at least the British Foreign Office can mediate mediation well.

“Are you very proud?” Foltseva lightly hammered Alan Wilson, “you forget that you are only a civil servant, not yet the prime minister.”

“What’s there to be proud of when you’re elected once every few years, the sky’s the limit for power.” Unmoved, Alan Wilson grabbed the Culture Tsar’s fullness and wouldn’t let go, suddenly bending over and whispering.

“No!” Foltseva flatly refused, she couldn’t accept a man’s demands, and she had her own bottom line.

“Ekaterina, just this once.” Allen Wilson came over and pleaded in a low voice, the Culture Tsar said nothing, her attitude was very resolute, eventually Allen Wilson had no choice, “Do you know that there are several spies within your Soviet Union? Right in the middle of your intelligence system, the status is not low.”

“One might be ready to run away, and the other is hidden even deeper, if I don’t say anything, without a year and a half, the KGB won’t be able to dig out who it is. It would be a great credit in the hands of any counter-intelligence officer to be found out, but of course you’re not an intelligence officer and you’re certainly not interested.”

When Foltseva heard this, hesitation appeared on her face, she wouldn’t care about the credit, but her son was graduating soon. She didn’t want her son to work in the KGB, but what could she do if people were willing? What if there was a share of this credit for her son?

“Just once!” Foltseva hypnotized herself in her mind that this was all a sacrifice for the sake of her child and finally compromised.

“No problem! Would I harm you? I won’t harm any woman, I will only double the care.” Alan Wilson promised in one mouthful, as long as there is a first time, there will be countless times.

Foltseva blankly glanced at the man who had gotten a bargain, just think of it as for the sake of her son’s future, anyway, have already allowed the other party to get so much in their own, and it’s not too bad for the last bottom line.

Bent on paving the way for his son’s culture czar, this time also go out of the way, as long as what the man said is true.

“You’re not a cadre of intelligence, what are you so concerned about such things for?” Allen Wilson looked askance at Foltseva.
