Chapter 1205 The Anglo-American Summit

Compared with the same period in history, Alan Wilson felt that Britain and history had still changed somewhat. That kind of Nassau agreement blackmailed by the United States should not appear, of course, does not rule out that the Americans do not change their mind, want to come to a wave of extreme pressure.

From Kennedy’s personal point of view, there is no chance that he will really want to give it a try, and the happy-go-lucky American president, who has gone from being a notoriously weak president in the eyes of the people to having his approval ratings skyrocket in the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and who is feeling good about himself, might actually come up with some excessive demands.

“Margaret, Margaret ……” in the Secretary of State for Education where the aggrieved Alan Wilson, hugging Her Royal Highness’s petite body to find face, the key moment is still half of the buttocks good understanding, not like the other Margaret so tiresome.

Four eyes opposite each other, the two people as statues still, a good half day, Princess Margaret only weakly lying in the arms of the executive vice president whispered, “Today seems to be particularly hard.”

“Is Your Highness satisfied?” Reaching out his hand and picking up Princess Margaret’s chin, Alan Wilson guffawed, what with the need to prepare for the Anglo-American Summit, resulting in a tightening of the spirit, not unintelligent.

“It’s good to be rough once in a while, this time you’re forgiven.” Princess Margaret blankly glanced at Alan Wilson, “If it wasn’t for me being in London, I don’t even know how many women you would have victimized.”

In order to save the vast number of ignorant women in England, Her Highness thought she had given too much.

“Why, I am devoted to Her Highness.” The executive undersecretary of trouser-raising, could not tolerate innocence being besmirched, not even by a royal princess.

“Put them on, so many words.” Princess Margaret glanced at the mouthy man and reminded conspiratorially.

After a lot of verbal sparring, the scene turned back to the executive undersecretary planning the layout of business issues for the important members of the royal family. Everything seemed like it was supposed to be this way.

“I hear Washington is hosting a summit with us?” Princess Margaret inquired, which wasn’t exactly a secret, since word had gotten around in British folklore, along with predictions of American conditions from the worst possible perspective, like getting Britain to hand over its nuclear weapons.

(narrator) There was a huge public backlash against the survey, and the vast majority of those polled, Labour supporters and Conservative supporters alike, thought that the US was using NATO as a public tool for private purposes, and that the US was not going to be able to do anything about it.

Sources also say that France has firmly rejected the American claim, and laughed it off.

“There is such a thing.” Alan Wilson nodded, as to why the civil society would know, it is not the government insiders who do not want to leave the name? For example, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for example, the deputy secretary of the cabinet and so on ……

Public opinion, do not have to worry about Alan Wilson, far away in Perth, the richest woman in the United Kingdom is even better at this.

At this time at 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Aidan is reading a copy, drafted by the current Deputy Secretary General of the Cabinet, the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office, on the British should be from a position of strength, the use of Europe outside the USSR, inside the French situation, the United States to adopt a policy of favoritism to the United Kingdom of a number of conditions.

The so-called special relationship between Britain and America, according to Alan Wilson, was that Britain kept creating new enemies for America in order to divert America’s attention and avoid America’s attack on itself, while America forced Britain to continuously cede its sovereignty in exchange for short-term strategic interests, and it was a pair of relationship of mutual blackmail.

Kennedy felt that the US was 800,000 against 600,000, and Allen Wilson felt that the advantage was mine.

The United States wants to disarm Britain’s nuclear weapons, set up military bases, Alan Wilson also wants the United States to hurry up to get a British Office, to serve Dad, otherwise the so-called global situation, I do not know how to develop.

So the Cabinet Deputy Secretary, listed twenty-six policies in favor of Britain, including cultural, military, economic, industrial support and so on, open markets, as well as monetary policy, the French point to the United States what the British said.

Even Prime Minister Aidan grinned straight away, every single one of them seemed to have no problem, but in the middle of a negotiation, Aidan was skeptical, the British Expeditionary Force had just burned down the White House yesterday.

“Norman, get Alan on the line.” Prime Minister Aiden, holding the microphone, told Norman Brooke to get the Deputy Secretary General of the Cabinet, whose advantage was in my favor, over here.

Alan Wilson, who had completed his life coaching for important members of the royal family, had to heed the words of the Supreme Authority, and come to 10 Downing Street to meet with the Prime Minister to explain why the matter of getting the United States to sign an unequal treaty was necessary.

“We expected some very unreasonable policies from Washington, which is why we tit-for-tat the British demands. It was not blackmail, but to lay the groundwork for an ultimately good outcome.”

Alan Wilson explained with a solemn face, “On the issue of nuclear weapons, de Gaulle showed great aversion to the so-called unified management of the United States, if Britain had indicated that it could talk to the United States. De Gaulle would have been extremely unhappy and would have joined forces with those who wanted European unity to question Britain’s reliability in the EEC. In fact, that suspicion has always existed, and it lingers especially among the French government.”

“We don’t, it simply won’t happen.” Prime Minister Aidan was disconcerted as he countered this fallacy.

“We all know it doesn’t, Prime Minister. But among the continental nations, this suspicion has always existed, with our delicate relationship with France over the centuries, and a history of offshore balancing in the past. There does seem to be some less than stellar explanation for this one.”

Alan Wilson spread his hands, “Can’t keep explaining it, can we? Always explaining nothing becomes something.”

“Since the end of the Algerian War, France’s authority on the Continent has increased, and the French consider themselves the number one land power in Europe again. De Gaulle’s government has been quite critical of the French weight in NATO, and has been divesting itself of its military forces for several years. If President Kennedy was going to look at the big picture, he should have adopted a strategy of helping Britain and keeping France in check, but judging by the way Kennedy was doing things, there was probably not much of a long-term perspective.”

In any case Algeria’s effective land area is small, on the books that’s two million four hundred thousand square kilometers of land, with mainland France that’s three million square kilometers, and India doesn’t even control that much land.

Even if it is ineffective land, looking at it is evasive. With the perspective of a major power to look at the Soviet Union is optimistic, according to the proportion, should be Belgium and control of Algeria France comparison is right. It’s probably the equivalent of Mexico looking at the United States of America overhead.

“In this current climate, the United States should stand with Britain and stabilize the free world. Many diplomats at the Foreign Office think it’s very reasonable for us to take the opportunity to get the United States to give some support to Britain.”

These diplomats who thought this way were not invented out of thin air by Alan Wilson, and he certainly did not deny that almost all of them, whom he had promoted, had a very similar understanding to the permanent undersecretary.

“The presence of France is indeed something worth utilizing.” Aiden nodded, indicating that there was something unique about that angle of view. Regarding France’s success in suppressing the Algerian revolt, the matter had to be said that it was not a lapse in judgment on the part of any one individual.

That was how both London and Washington had viewed France after the war, and after France’s loss to North Vietnam in the Vietnam War, this impression that France was just doing nothing and would inevitably come to terms with reality in the end was not weakened, but strengthened.

It was in the face of the persistent disillusionment of Britain and the United States that France quelled the Algerian revolt.

This view was not propagated by Alan Wilson himself; he had indeed noticed the stereotype before.

But the root cause was not with him, he could at best influence London, so why did Washington see it that way too?

Nor was the prepared report only France’s share, but also the German threat theory and the Japanese threat theory. In fact, some of the policies of the United States in the Cold War were not exactly calculated. The prolonged inattention to the exchange rate problems of Germany and Japan eventually fed the industries of these two countries.

By the time of the Plaza Accord in dealing with has been too late, Germany and Japan is ultimately the British and French squeezed enough. But later also became the United States of America’s trouble, taking into account the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, the United Kingdom reminded to pay attention to this problem, but not too much, right?

Britain and the United States to host the summit thing, from now on has been warming up. Similarly, it has attracted the attention of de Gaulle’s government, and to the concerns of de Gaulle’s government, Prime Minister Aidan has replied positively to all of them.

Aidan also clearly realized that France was indeed keeping a close eye on Britain’s every move, in other words, France’s as if it were an enemy, it was indeed exploitable for Britain.

After a Cabinet discussion, Aiden gave Kennedy a positive reply, confirming that the summit would be held in Nassau. No. 10 Downing Street had already put out optimistic messages that this was the summit that would determine the direction of the world.

As for a number of issues that have been of particular concern to some of the opposition parties and citizens lately, a placating attitude has been adopted, such as the fact that the matter of the UK setting up US military bases and stockpiling nuclear weapons is simply nonsense.

Nassau is the capital of the British Bahamas, located on the north coast of New Providence Island, just under three hundred kilometers from the American city of Miami.

Nassau was an English settlement in the sixteenth century and grew into a larger town in 1660, then known as Charlestown. It was later named after Orange-Nassau, the family name of King William III of England. The city was formally established and continued to bear the name Nassau.

The capital of this British colony, with its pleasant climate, attracted the attention of the whole world at once because it was determined to be the venue for the Anglo-American Summit, especially because just in the past two months, peace all over the world had been put to a great test, and not far away, Cuba had almost caused a war that spread all over the world.

So, after Britain and the United States made it public that they were going to hold a summit, this obscure colonial capital was noticed all over the world, and both Washington and London had already departed, as well as Allen Wilson himself, who was carrying a huge suitcase.
