Chapter 1139 The Soviet Union and France
The situation in Indonesia could be closely related to Australia, and strictly speaking, neither under Sukarno, nor under Suharto, did Australia and Indonesia have any kind of a one-way relationship, the difference between an openly declared enemy, and one that could not be openly declared.
It was natural that Donald, the director of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, could not afford to treat the Indonesian situation with equanimity. Alan Wilson could well understand the other side’s urgency, an understanding that was based on both blood-thicker-than-water considerations and practical reasons.
For example, many of the middle-level officers of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service are composed of immigrants who have worked for British MI6, which is not much of a surprise, Australia is such a style of imperial loyal dogs, for other English-speaking immigrants, almost unconditional trust.
“A triangular axis of Asia, has been formed.” The Director of Australia’s Secret Intelligence Service said worriedly, “The current dire situation must be cracked, using all means.”
A triangular axis? Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, China, North Korea and Indonesia well, there was indeed such a saying.
In his brain’s memory, the first half of the sixties this time, Jakarta is indeed a big step forward, towards the Soviet Union camp headstrong sprint, Indonesia’s total claim to the world’s third, and the development trend is extremely violent.
Not to say, Suharto coup is the CIA in the Cold War the most hearty action it, can be said to be the peak of the CIA’s work on behalf of, what Syria, Ukraine, are small, and Indonesia’s actions can not be compared.
“Actually, it can’t be said to be imminent. I certainly agree that it is indeed time to start containing Sukarno’s Jakarta government, it’s just that it will take a long time of planning, Donald.” Allen Wilson listened, and then said, “We can’t afford to give up even the slightest chance of getting Indonesia, or something like what happened at the Bay of Pigs, would have to be ashamed of itself.”
Dulles pushed a little glasses, this British talk is really not good, the honorable director of the Central Intelligence Agency, now the most hate is to be mentioned in the Bay of Pigs landing, caused by the consequences of the United States is still suffering.
To know what Dulles thought, Allen Wilson said that this is only where to ah, the consequences you have not seen it. You’ll see this year what the consequences of the Bay of Pigs landing will be.
“The socialist countries of Asia, with their weak naval forces, were not strong enough to show any solidarity with Indonesia. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, has that capability to some extent. But for the time being, no movement has been detected in the direction of the Pacific to strengthen the Soviet Red Navy.” Alan Wilson continued to ramble, “Of course Britain agrees with Australia on one point, that the Indonesian matter cannot be left unresolved, and that Asia cannot afford to have the presence of such a bully as Sukarno.”
“Sir Wilson, thank you.” Donald got the British solidarity, replied full of gratitude, then eyed Dulles, hoping that America would have an attitude with Australia.
“We partly agree with Britain.” Dulles said with a hard look on his face, “Britain also said, can’t give up the possibility of fighting for Indonesia, for the Indonesian military assistance, the United States has not fallen every year.”
A Bay of Pigs landing, let the Americans now so modest?
Alan Wilson felt funny, but think about it is also normal, even in the optimistic people, will not envision a chance to be able to three million members of the Indonesian Communist Party in one go, this kind of victory has already appeared to be too illusory to the point of impracticality.
Look at the Soviet operation in the Congo, which was so sound that it held up the Lumumba regime in one fell swoop. The Lumumba government in the Congo had now declared its intention to follow the Soviet line, and a socialist African state of more than two million square kilometers was almost ready to emerge.
In contrast, the CIA was even more embarrassed, almost as if it were in stark contrast to its Soviet counterparts.
However, Allen Wilson is not modest, which also has a little bit of his credit, really want to award the time, Philby awarded the general, Burgess awarded the general, he Wilson should be a marshal, carrying a big gold star on the shoulder.
“Last year the Congo thing, hit us a surprise, in my opinion, Lumumba came to the United States, should be out to kill him, otherwise there will not be today’s trouble.”
Allen Wilson’s gaze van on Dulles, one finger tapping on the desktop, “With today’s consequences, how we deal with it is troublesome, how to take it is not willing.”
“How’s that?” Vidnor inquired, Canada has little to do with Africa, but the intelligence service was established with the authorization of the Governor General of Canada, and seeing Allen Wilson’s worried brow, he naturally expressed his concern.
“Congo is the center of Africa, and now it’s become a pro-Soviet country, we may need France’s help if we deal with it forcefully. Of course Canada is not having this problem, doesn’t the current Governor General of Canada speak French.”
Alan Wilson couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, the current Governor General, Georges Phileas Vanier, was the first French-speaking Governor General.
“Half of Africa is French-speaking, if we acquiesce to France’s supreme influence over Africa, it might be a problem later, but if we don’t cooperate with France, the Soviet Union is also troublesome.”
Alan Wilson explained rather helplessly with his hands splayed out, his bright red scarf put away for the moment, this was an important meeting of the Five Eyes Alliance, “We need to be anti-Soviet, and more importantly, we need to prevent France from growing. It’s not good for the balance, especially now that President de Gaulle seems a little less than intimate with us.”
“I see that Britain and France are still close at the EEC meetings.” Dulles spoke conspiratorially.
“Why don’t you Americans take France’s advice and nod your heads to the NATO Commander-in-Chief rotation? Just because Britain is responsible, you Americans are not? Britain is responsible for the loss of the Congo? Whose responsibility is it for the loss of Cuba?”
Alan Wilson similarly pinched a rhetorical question, “In fact, we all understand that we can’t let the French get the leadership, and just because the Soviet Union is a threat doesn’t mean that France isn’t a threat. The changes that have taken place in France in the last few years are obvious to anyone with eyes to see.”
In African affairs, Britain still retained quite a few colonies, is completely have the courage to talk to the United States so.
Allen Wilson also did not because of Dulles’s Ding Ding, on the coy, there is the Bay of Pigs action in the front, he does not to Dulles heavy-handed attack on the other side of the face has been very much taken care of.
Seeing that Britain and the United States are going to blame each other again, the other three eyes immediately said that unity is the first priority. Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is the United Kingdom is afraid of facing the United States alone power alone, pulled into the five-eye alliance.
For Britain, it is hoped that on such occasions, these three countries can play such a role.
Allen Wilson is not a mess, but has its own purpose, its main purpose is to establish a priority direction, the United Kingdom believes that the Congo is more important than Indonesia, because the local not only has the power of the Soviet Union, there is also the power of the French, may cause a series of consequences if not handled properly.
And what was in the direction of Indonesia? A triangular axis? Do you see any of the Chinese or North Koreans looking like a maritime power, taking a bathtub to show solidarity with Indonesia? In order to talk about these two issues, a more important region needs to be brought into the mix.
That region is the Middle East, and after the US redistributes the interests formerly belonging to the UK, how do you remove the Soviet power in northern Iran? These are big questions.
When it comes to Iran, however, the two men have a disagreement. America’s Middle East strategy has Iran and Israel as its fulcrum, and Britain’s traditional spheres of influence are in Arab territory.
And that’s hardly pissing in the same pot; Americans are willing to father Israel, Britain has no such interest; Britain’s tradition has been to use Jews, but never to offer them up.
“The Arab countries generally see Israel as an enemy, and in none of those countries is Israel the name of the state, it’s called the Zionist Organization, and Britain doesn’t particularly like the Arabs, but if Britain and the United States take an attitude, who will fill the vacuum left by Britain? The Soviet Union?”
In the face of Allen Wilson’s questioning, Dulles was actually tempted to let Britain and the United States adopt an attitude from a position of strength, but with an Iran that took so much effort to gnaw down, this was something that needed to be considered in the long run.
Although the meeting process can not be called amicable, but there are still results, the Middle East is of course the highest priority direction, which Britain and the United States have agreed, but there are differences in strategy.
Africa because the Soviet Union is personally down, after the discussion, was also placed in front of Indonesia to deal with. As for the Asian triangular axis, although there is a certain degree of danger, but in the face of the Middle East and Africa’s meaty threats, the importance is temporarily placed on the back burner.
“Although we all look at the problem from a perspective that cannot be said to be in complete agreement, in the face of the threat that is the Soviet Union. Unity is the basis for defeating this enemy.” Alan Wilson, who reached his goal, sang the hymn of unity and did not forget to appease Australia and New Zealand, and the matter of Indonesia was taken seriously by both Britain and the United States.
Once Britain and the United States wiped out the threats in the Middle East and Africa, they would solve the Indonesian problem.
Dulles agrees, and this prioritization towards is actually justified; doesn’t a five-nation coalition exist in Southeast Asia? The U.S. also believes that Australia is actually overstating the Indonesian threat.
“Sir Wilson, you have impressed me.” Dulles spoke with intent, “I actually prefer to talk to Guy . Mr. Liddell to interact with.”
“I am more official than him, communicating with me is the same.” Alan Wilson responded with a big smile, “In the final analysis, we still want to work hand in hand to continue to rule this world, and we can’t allow many countries to be irresponsible and make rash decisions to adopt the Soviet system to establish a country.”
“Perhaps the approach is a bit unsympathetic, but it is true that such people should be physically eliminated.” Dulles thought deeply, he wanted to take out Castro right now, but unfortunately, he never succeeded.
Allen Wilson, if he knew that Dulles thought this way, would definitely advise him not to bother, Castro lived much longer than you.
