Chapter 1186 – Comparing to Roosevelt

“Dark Forest Law?” Not only the host, but the audience waiting by the radio station also murmured.

Alan Wilson immediately explained, that is, Fermi’s paradox is explained in layman’s terms, to put it simply, a civilization can not judge whether another civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization, a civilization can not judge whether another civilization thinks that this civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization.

A civilization cannot tell whether another civilization will launch an attack on this civilization, and a civilization cannot tell whether another civilization is good or evil towards itself.

A civilization cannot tell whether another civilization considers itself to be good or evil, and a civilization cannot tell whether another civilization judges itself to be good or evil towards it.

It’s a good thing, too, that in this life Alan Wilson, with all his writings on conspiracy theories, has put the cartwheels backward and forward.

Finally, he was able to explain the law of the Coastal Forest, “The danger of this crisis is that the U.S. and the Soviet Union are miscommunicating, but there is a sense in which certain dimensions are not so dangerous.”

“What, according to Sir Alan, is the manifestation of not being dangerous?” The host inquired with great interest.

“This? This crisis actually has a clear line of interest-driven decision-making and considerable military risk management. Now from the end of World War II is only more than ten years, although the United States and the Soviet Union all the way to confrontation, the war atmosphere is thick, but both sides of the decision makers at all levels, are still World War II over the veterans veterans, narrowly victorious country aftermath, usually certainly not lack of force to solve the problem of the confidence and determination, can be brought to a large-scale war of nations casualties also have the most profound understanding of the situation, to be frank, it is a group of people who are not afraid to get hurt, but very much to scrutinize the current situation, and the civilian population on the nuclear war has a big horror of nuclear war, and the support and obedience to management, in turn, gives the decision makers a very strong sense of execution.”

“I believe that both Moscow and Washington are quite aware of the situation after a nuclear war breaks out, and from a third-party point of view, whether it’s Prime Minister Aidan or French President Charles de Gaulle, they’re well aware of it as well.”

“And Britain’s diplomatic mediation this time, is in the two countries have no communication channels in the environment, go out of their way to run around, clear the two sides of each other’s bottom line, with this communication channel, the two leaders will naturally be well thought out, to avoid falling into their own bluffing their own miscalculation.”

Alan Wilson did not forget to pat the ass, in the leaders of the countries have said visionary, without the cooperation and support of the following people, what the president first secretary, that is a fart.

By the way, he praised the people of the countries are very sensible not arch fire, to avoid the situation towards the danger.

Also emphasized, the British citizens are not surprised, quite a general’s reaction.

Anyway, this kind of talk is the same as a good bird chooses a tree to live in and a loyal servant does not serve two masters at the same time, as long as the premise is enough, which country is unique.

Take the battle of the roof of the world is still not yet divided, even if India was defeated, as long as the closed eyes ignore the facts, there are still blowing points, for example, the location of New Delhi is not far from the border, so in the second half of the war, India’s defeat caused the capital city shook.

Then the self-propaganda can take advantage of New Delhi’s proximity to the border to say that Nehru wanted the son of God to guard the country’s gates! As for what the truth is, never mind what the truth is, it is the Son of God who guards the gates of the country.

“Curmudgeon also agrees, the important bridging role played by Britain in this instance.” The moderator was obviously very pleased with this answer as well, and then asked, “Sir Alan, what is your assessment of the American response this time around.”

“Oh, that’s quite a pointed question. Fortunately, I’m no stranger to the Kennedys. It might be really hard to answer you if I asked anyone else.” Alan Wilson pondered for a while, organizing his wording as he thought, “During this crisis, President Kennedy has shown a good sense of the big picture that has to be admired. Suppressed the agitation, and looked at the problem calmly.”

Alan Wilson said, suddenly elevated Kennedy to another level, “In my personal opinion, although the first term is not yet over, Kennedy is a great president who can be compared with President Roosevelt.”

It’s now just over a decade since the end of World War II, and to say that a president could match Roosevelt is a sky-high assessment, never the analogy of saying that a president was a match for the put-upon Reagan, decades later.

He’s also sure that Kennedy would have been pleased with that assessment, though there may have been a part of him that wouldn’t have been.

The interview over, Alan Wilson shook hands with the presenter and said goodbye, and left the BBC radio room.

The radio interview soon became the talk of the town after dinner, with the vast majority of people believing that Sir Alan Wilson’s explanation of Britain’s efforts to avoid a strategic miscalculation between the United States and the Soviet Union was spot on, and reflected the still indispensable role of the British Empire in the world today.

Of course there are other voices, the Daily Times said that the root cause of the Cuban Missile Crisis is that Italy and Turkey became U.S. missile bases, which caused a strong reaction from the Soviet Union.

For a good macro concept of European security issues, Britain still needs to retain its own independent nuclear weapons in order to continue to maintain its current supremacy.

This is the kind of argument that, unbeknownst to the public, would be considered public opinion in France. In fact, when the Cuban Missile Crisis broke out, de Gaulle’s government was very disgusted with the U.S.’s reaction of putting France in an awkward position by making a big move without consulting its allies.

While France still sided with the United States, the French didn’t stop bleeping for a moment. The voices of European autonomy were heard in France and were clearly visible in other countries.

Soon enough, the Q&A with the British Permanent Undersecretary of State at the Foreign Office, who had first returned from Moscow, saw its way across the Atlantic to be reprinted in the American papers, and Kennedy was so pleased by the British assessment of him as a second Roosevelt that much of his earlier minor discomfort dissipated.

“Roosevelt? He’ll never be seen again ……” said countless others at the same time, staring at the newspapers and muttering to themselves.

The only thing that President Kennedy, great as Roosevelt was, was not too happy about right now was the fact that the Soviets were in cahoots with Britain, not recognizing his own full credit in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis, but instead changing the subject to something about the security of Europe, and dividing some of the glory between Britain and France.

Now he didn’t know if this was a British claim, or if the Soviets really thought so, or if the two countries had discussed it. But he was sure there would be time to slowly find out later.

Surprisingly, he had the luxury of having time to find out! Alan Wilson to know Kennedy think so, certainly will be more praise this Roosevelt second a few words, I believe that Kennedy will be happy.

But he had to listen to the teachings of the Supreme Authority at this time, and traveled to Norman Brooke’s home as a guest, and did not have time to care about the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis after its substantial end.

Norman Brooke received Alan Wilson, seated his deputy, then brought a glass of tall beer and frowned. Then he walked in with a taut, stubborn arrogance and brought in a large loaf of bread and a large basin. The lid was open and steaming, and you could see that it was a broth with a few slices of bread floating on top.

It was not pleasant to look at in the heart, but it could be used to fill the stomach. It was followed by slices of Scotch ham and chunks of fish. Then came a porridge. A little later, a mincemeat with lots of chili was served.

It was clear that the Cabinet Secretary’s cooking was of the average level of the British Empire, and far inferior to his own carpenter’s craft.

The final dish was a dish of raw miniature animals in a wicker cage. This dish was prepared by enclosing a piece of cheese with twigs and thread, and then making a hole in it, into which wine was poured, and which soon gave rise to a multitude of little worms. These worms rot the cheese so fully that only the twigs and thread save it from breaking and running out in all directions before it is brought to the table.

Alan Wilson sipped his beer without a change of color, turning away from the last, very English, dish he hadn’t even seen before; maybe it was the Cabinet Secretary’s original creation, and he’d never seen it anywhere else anyway.

Might as well have had some kind of French fries or potato pancakes or something, at the moment he missed his wife Pamela Mountbatten with her great culinary skills, who was far away in Perth, Australia.

“Alan, I’m going to retire after the New Year.” Norman Brooke spoke face to face after sitting down.

“Oh? Sir Norman, why the rush?” Alan Wilson’s hand holding the wine glass gave a slight beat, then opened his mouth to retain, “This is a loss for the whole of Whitehall, at such a sensitive time, all of us need your leadership to lead us into the treacherous future, if you’re not around, we’ll only feel a rugged road ahead, and our hearts will be jittery.”

“Well said, next time only the Prime Minister will be in a position to hear you say that.” Norman Brooke laughed and said with a pouty I-know-what-you’re-going-to-poop tone, “I know myself well enough to know that I’m nowhere near as physically or mentally fit as Edward was when he was the same age. I’ve never denied that I do value power more than he does, and he must have found my suppression of him after I became Cabinet Secretary off-putting, but that’s Vanity Fair, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Alan Wilson was silent, listening to Norman Brooke’s confession, and at last spoke, “I may not be able to understand that state of mind now.”

“You will understand it later.” This remark of Norman Brooke’s at once made Alan Wilson involuntarily puff out his chest, as the poorest patriot in the East End of London would have done.

“I am not really senior enough to look after the cornerstone of the British Empire.” Allen Wilson modestly said, but immediately turned his words around not giving Norman Brooke a chance to backtrack at all, “But since my colleagues need me, even if the road ahead is bumpy, I will definitely do my best.”
