Chapter 1171 India’s determination
Again and again, at this time of crisis, Alan Wilson still did not forget to share a bed with his wife a shameless deception, ruthlessly set up a loyal dog of the empire of the personage, no one more than the executive vice president know how to love the country.
But Alan Wilson does not feel guilty, this is a good lie, help husband and wife hand in hand to move forward, in this treacherous and dangerous world together.
So what was there to feel guilty about, hadn’t it just begun to appease? After half a day of love talk, Pamela Mountbatten broke into tears and snuggled into her husband’s arms with a docile face.
Certain outside the Bureau of the underage people from the door of the room probing, but also returned to their own rooms. Not long afterward Allen Wilson came up the stairs with his wife in his arms, and the two of them looked at each other in such a way as to almost cause Pamela Mountbatten to run into a wall.
Perhaps the parting was a bit sudden, Pamela Mountbatten was not sleepy and wanted her husband to join her in a bubble bath.
This is no problem, Allen Wilson and the general British habit of the opposite, he is accustomed to bathing at night, so many years his wife more and more and his habits converge.
After a while, Allen Wilson, who had expended a lot of energy, returned with his wife in his arms, whose red flush had not yet subsided.
Moonlight projected through the curtains, so that the room is hazy, Pamela Mountbatten as has been an octopus does not let go, apparently still can not sleep, “In fact, the executive undersecretary is considered to be a high-ranking official, but I don’t care, you do not go with me?”
“Stop it, a man should have a man’s responsibility.” Alan Wilson kissed his wife’s forehead, he is now reluctant to carry out PUA, anything too late, in the depth will have the opposite effect, change the subject, “in fact, the threat of nuclear war in the Caribbean Sea, is not all bad. From the financial hedge above considerations, you do not want to do something about it? Now the North American continent is no longer safe.”
“You’re having second thoughts, you’re never this optimistic.” Pamela Mountbatten squeezed her husband’s arm, but gently, “Tell me, when has Curcuma been disobedient, she’s always been good.”
“You see, the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed, is not it?” Alan Wilson laughed happily, “With the overwhelming military power of the United States in the Americas, in fact, the possibility of the outbreak of nuclear war is not great. If the result is optimistic, then this is an opportunity to bottom out, and in gold on the contrary, should be some of the previous funds out of the United States, exchange gold to get back, in fact, I estimate that France after this time, may also do so.”
In fact it is this time the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States a look of uncompromising, spared to nuclear war, let the French realize, who has as good as they have. The pace of independence and autonomy once again accelerated, but also firmly in the United States of America’s gold reserves back to the idea of the country.
In fact, the beginning of this year, the U.S. stock market in the decline, and last year before the year of stability is different. However, once the Cuban Missile Crisis is over, it will certainly rise with a vengeance, and the United States is victorious, market confidence will naturally increase.
During the crisis, as Soviet ships came closer to Cuba, many feared the end of the world was near.
President Kennedy’s brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, said it was the worst crisis since World War II. Tensions clouded the stock market, adding to the fears of investors who were already alarmed by the poor performance of the stock market that year.
Even without the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. stock market had a bad year, due to the fact that Kennedy and the U.S. steel industry were at odds, and for most of 1962, Kennedy was fighting the steel giants, which had been going on for most of the year.
Kennedy’s strife with the steel industry. Stemming from concerns about domestic inflation, through the intervention of the White House, the U.S. steel industry unions agreed to lower wage increases for workers, and the steel mills agreed not to raise prices on steel products.
However, the steel giants then violated the agreement and raised prices without authorization. Enraged Kennedy then publicly criticized that a handful of steel executives’ desire for power and money devoured their sense of social responsibility.
The White House then launched an offensive. The U.S. Department of Justice investigated the price hike, and sent FBI agents to interview executives at the price-hiking steel mills. The Department of Defense transferred some submarine contracts to mills that refused to raise prices.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, it only added to the shock of the conflict between Kennedy and the steel industry.
If Alan Wilson remembered correctly, the steel industry in the United States was backed by Wall Street, or Morgan to be precise, which had enormous influence, while Kennedy had given Aramco to the Saudis, which offended the Rockefeller family.
The sensitive time of the Cuban Missile Crisis is perfect for muddling through, and cashing in on gold will go unnoticed in the massive mess because everyone does it.
Risk and opportunity, not just words, and the fact is that those who dared to take the plunge won. Fortunes were up thirty-five percent a year later, and Alan Wilson didn’t expect his wife to be a genius, but averaged a passable return.
“It’s natural for public opinion to make the problems in the United States look serious, and this may bring about a certain flight of foreign investment.” Alan Wilson followed the temptation, “even if it is to flee to the various offshore financial centers set up in the United Kingdom to take refuge, we have earned.”
“What are the chances of a good outcome?” Pamela Mountbatten looked blearily at her husband, it was often at this point that she forgot about the vast wealth, her husband was her main focus.
“Seventy percent, the same as the Free World’s strength against the Soviet Bloc.” Alan Wilson’s answer was very certain.
It was also the same strength comparison between the two sides, whether it was this time now or that time in his memory.
The free world was seventy percent victorious, in other words as long as there was no war, through constant raids, economic blockades and political oppression, NATO was bound to win.
The USSR was at most 70% the strength of the US, but of course because of its vast territory and strong radiation and confrontation in Eurasia, 70% was enough to have a back and forth with the US. The Soviet bloc was only 70% of the power of the Free World.
I don’t think anyone would consider Britain, France, Germany and Italy to be on the same level as Bulgaria and Romania on the Soviet side.
This is the result of counting a certain big country, otherwise, the Warsaw Pact partners and NATO countries, is completely crushed, the Soviet Union and the United States alone compared to the hope of victory, plus Britain, France, Germany, Italy, West Hollywood than, that is not even a little bit of hope.
A few decades later, do not mention, the Warsaw Pact do not exist, the European side of the pure crushing bureau.
Russia once resigned to their fate, Na cast to a magnificent turn, there is a country’s environment is similar to the Soviet Union after the comrades plus brothers were beaten up, the noose has been put on, will only be more and more tightened.
The premise of success is not and the Soviet Union direct outbreak of conflict, once the war what seventy percent will be a fart. Nuclear war everyone dies, ground war NATO can not beat the Warsaw Pact, the sea and air powerful, but people are not living in the water.
If Alan Wilson is an American, the outcome of the Cold War do not have to think about, think just can not leave a leak.
How to treat the losers are at his whim, very unlucky, in the British perspective, the first year of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the memory of the second year of the shorting of the pound, so that he must maintain the balance of this world.
The fact that the US shorted the pound immediately after winning the Cold War and turned around and made France imaginary enemy number one made it imperative for him to keep a watchful eye on this close ally.
Relaxing, Pamela Mountbatten fell asleep, leaving only the hot breath exhaled on Alan Wilson’s chest, and with a glance at the haze around the window, the Managing Undersecretary closed his eyes for another beautiful day tomorrow.
It was still daylight in New Delhi because of the time zone, and amongst the Indian Ministry of Defense there was a discussion about moving on. Not everyone thinks that victory is within India’s reach if she shows courage.
In the War Room of the Ministry of Defense, an operational meeting to decide India’s fate is underway, chaired by India’s Defense Minister Menon. The meeting was attended by Admiral Thapar, Chief of the Strike Force General Staff, Admiral Timaiya, former Chief of Army Staff, and Lt. Gen. Kaur, Chief of Staff.
There were also three civilian officials, Cabinet Secretary Kaira, Defense Secretary Kesarine, and Director General of Intelligence Malik.
As a civilian official, Menon, although he assumed the heavy responsibility of the Minister of Defense, when he faced a general with a golden flower on his shoulder and ribbons hanging diagonally, there was always an uncontrollable feeling of oppression. In order to maintain his dignity, his specialty was to rebuke and ridicule them.
As a result, the generals under his command resented him, but had to be grateful to him because he promoted their ranks with frequent transfers, and at the same time raised the salaries of the officers, especially the generals, considerably.
The armaments of the army had also been well improved during his term of office, and his personal relations with Nehru, especially, were so intimate that no officer could fail to feel intimidated by them.
Menon at this time had just finished speaking about India’s aim of expelling the enemy from the disputed territories.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Admiral Timaiya cried out, “Impossible, this is a fantasy, what are you going to attack with? How can you prepare for an attack? Do you know the terrain? It’s all rolling hills over 14,000 feet, and a three-hour march measured on a map will actually take three days. All the logistical support has to be airdropped, but there’s not even a flat piece of land for airdropping to be found there, and to make such a plan is either madness or foolishness.”
Lieutenant General Kaur, who had been promoted by Menon, grimaced, “General Timaiya, you may criticize and correct as much as you like, but you are never permitted to denigrate, much less to reject it altogether. Realize that everyone in India is impatient. Many newspapers have called us cowards, unable to shoulder the burden of defending our motherland, as a soldier, can you stand it? If we don’t act, the government will fall and we’ll all be sent to the gallows, do you understand?”
