Chapter 1184 – I Save World Peace

But was it? God knows Alan Wilson with how much energy to persuade Grace, only to these Balkan ambitions delayed to this critical time, think carefully, he felt worthy of a British, for this broken empire has done everything.

According to the current situation, cut down a piece of land less than 100,000 square kilometers, of course, in the mineral level, is considered to be the most valuable piece of the Katanga region, Grace they are very restrained, suppressed the greed.

Not to suppress also can not, if the expansion of the occupation of land, then it is not expelled hundreds of thousands of people can do.

For this result, Alan Wilson has been considered very satisfied, now that the protruding part of Northern Rhodesia that was cut into two short pieces is resolved, according to the previous agreement, the schedule for the transformation of Northern Rhodesia into a royal territory can also be arranged.

Although the Cuban Missile Crisis, Britain could not really help much, and the war against the two populous countries was only staggering, and ultimately could only show the majesty of the old dominion in Africa, which was the best to be bullied.

But the result is good, the current situation in southern Africa, is nothing more than Britain and Portugal to warm up, and only a small piece of land left in the Belgian colony of Rwanda.

Rwanda, a country known in later times for the Holocaust and later for the rule of political strongman Paul Kagame.

The area is not large but there are signs of a rise, but Alan Wilson thinks, in the end can rise to wait and see, Africa is not without a political strongman, there are a number of level is quite good.

But most of the inattention will be overthrown, a few firmly in control of the regime of political power, once dead will also be dead.

Paul Kagame’s level is quite high, and he has governed Rwanda so well that it doesn’t even look like an African country, and he has also swallowed up hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Congo and Katanga. But if he dies, will his successor be able to perform at this level? You have to realize that Essex had a good thing going before.

Belgium’s remaining Rwandan colonies are small in size, and after Congo’s independence it is estimated that the Belgians will not regard Rwanda as too important, and the countdown to the demise of Belgium’s power in Africa can already be started.

Apart from Portugal’s still solid colonial power, there were still Rhodesia in the south of Northern Rhodesia and South Africa further south, Rhodesia and South Africa were two white African regimes that supported each other during the Cold War.

The Rhodesian War lasted until the 1980s, and the white regime in South Africa only fell in the 1990s. In hindsight, Northern Rhodesia was probably the longest-lasting white regime.

Thanks to these recalcitrant and never wrongly shot remnants of the Second World War, the black community in Northern Rhodesia has been cleaned out, and as long as a few Slavic groups do not and Belgian immigrants in the civil war, the local area is unlikely to suffer from external threats.

Little did Alan Wilson know that the Rhodesians would soon be looking at Northern Rhodesia, ready to seek medical attention from him, the permanent undersecretary, who was still in Moscow, battling the Soviets.

On the whole, regardless of political correctness, Britain’s interests should not be jeopardized in the near future.

During Margaret Thatcher’s time, the issue of political correctness was not really considered, and the relationship between Britain and South Africa heated up dramatically. But the cost was enormous, and the Commonwealth almost fell apart.

(narrator) At the Kremlin, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko was complaining, to some limey hiding in the embassy who wouldn’t come out, “Such cowardice, what on earth has he come to Moscow for.”

“Probably to avoid being talked about Lubumbashi.” Foltseva said as she listened, “But now it’s possible to see that not, Britain took advantage of the time we were tangling with the Americans, to take care of a problem for Britain.”

The Soviet Union, the least of which was the various generals left over from World War II, took the shape of the map of Northern Rhodesia and could tell at a glance that this was the problem of the salient that had come up again and again during the Soviet-German war.

The term “salient”, once caused several bloody battles between the Soviet and German armies, and even by the Soviet generals who had military experience, when seeing the map of Northern Rhodesia, a series of words such as central breakthrough, flank encirclement and so on came to mind at once.

He was able to seize Lubumbashi and solve the post-colonial problems of Northern Rhodesia. It was evident that the British had made a considerable gain from the Cuban Missile Crisis this time around.

“So what? Britain and the United States wear the same pants.” Gromyko said with a muddled head.

“It’s not the same, British capital, dominated by that richest woman in Britain, is different from American capital. It’s like British capital during the Sunset Empire, when it pursued globalization. And the U.S. resisted with high tariffs, now American capital pursues globalization, and British capital resists with British imperial preferences. Comrade Gromyko, you should read more of Comrade Suslov’s research.”

Foltseva explains the difference, that capital has different characteristics at different times.

Before World War I, capital was firmly bound to the state, and many countries, with the exception of Britain, were the backbone of support for the state, driving it to expand abroad; Britain didn’t do this because Britain itself was the biggest gainer in the world at the time, and British capital drove globalization.

Now it’s the other way around, American capital, which supported high tariffs to protect itself at the time, has become the main driver of globalization. British capital, on the other hand, relied on the power of the British state to resist the expansion of American capital with the imperial preferential system.

The former were themselves averse to the existence of the state as a model, as it would make them feel un-self-talking.

The latter, on the other hand, must rely on the power of the state to protect their interests. Of course, the two are not completely incompatible, and once the side relying on the state is unable to resist the international capitalist side, the idea of cooperation arises.

Alan Wilson would have made a wonderful point if he were here. However, in the 21st century, Foltsevar’s British and American capitals were reversed, and the British capital had lost all industrial capital, transformed into financial capital, and could only go one way.

The United States has changed, after all, the United States is a country of 300 million people, the financial can not solve the employment of such a large population, which leads to a certain stage of globalization, the United States did not enter the globalization of capital quit, the United States of America’s industry has been corrupted by the internationalization of the capital is very serious, the benefits did not get how much, but a large number of people did not have a good life before.

Britain has only 50 million people, the transformation of the transformation, the United States more than 300 million people to engage in finance? Simply kidding!

“So, comrades! Let’s give Britain and France a leg up and expound on the Cuban Missile Crisis on the grounds that British and French mediation is worried about European security.” Foltseva articulated her point of view, which was also a bit more acceptable.

Especially with the hard-line holding forces within the Soviet Union, bowing down to the United States would have displeased these hard-line figures.

And in the face of the offer of good offices of Britain and France handed over the steps, the Soviet Union can be accepted, which would have been the British and French this time so on the purpose.

Brezhnev was just about to open his mouth, when the words came to his lips he swallowed them back and turned to Kozlov, “Comrade Kozlov, you are the second secretary, your opinion is very important.”

Kennedy was subjected to two differently worded letters, the second, obviously tougher letter was influenced by the Soviet hardliners, and the representative of this hardliner, was Kozlov, who had good relations with the Ministry of Defense and the military-industrial complex.

“Ilyich, this matter!” Kozlov opened his mouth, but finally, out of defense of Khrushchev’s authority, nodded his head with difficulty and said, “Well, just reply to the United States by emphasizing British and French mediation in the diplomatic sphere, and European security considerations.”

“That’s okay, stirring up the conflicts between Europe and the United States arising from the difference in interests this time. Curtis just can’t believe that the European countries don’t have ideas about the strong reaction of the United States, especially the French.”

Gromyko also shifted his tone, “Then we’ll add Britain, France, and Europe to our public statement, and that British permanent undersecretary can’t hide in the embassy anymore, he must join us.”

Saturday. Radio Moscow broadcasts Khrushchev’s reply.

The letter said, “I understand very well the apprehension you and the American people feel about what you call an offensive weapon, which is indeed a terrible weapon. You and I understand what nature of weapon it is. In order to eliminate as quickly as possible this conflict, which jeopardizes the cause of peace, and in order to give reassurance to the peoples who desire peace, the Soviet Government, in addition to its previous orders to stop work at the construction sites of the weapons, is now issuing a new order to dismantle the weapons which you have called offensive and to pack and ship them back to the Soviet Union.”

This open letter was followed by Soviet radio and television, which gave huge space to British and French diplomats staying in Moscow, expounding on European security concerns.

Alan Wilson did not expect that he would be pulled out by the Soviet Union at this point in time and used as a shield.

At first he was hesitant, after all, something this big always comes with risks, isn’t it a little too tree-hugging?

But when he thought about it, this was a major event under the threat of nuclear war for the whole world, in other words this was saving the whole world. He absolutely can not hide, so it is settled, the Cuban Missile Crisis I save!

After returning home, after taking this credit as a brilliant resume in his life, now it is time to appeal for peace on behalf of the United Kingdom, to show the United Kingdom in order to protect Europe’s great influence.

There are not many opportunities for a British permanent undersecretary to leave an op-ed on top of Soviet Pravda. But he did it this time, and Europe, the birthplace of modern civilization, was far from the threat of nuclear war in his article.
