Chapter 1241 Leaving the White House
Normally speaking, Kennedy’s reelection is a nail in the coffin, and will not be challenged at all, normally speaking …… there are always abnormal times in this world, and anything can happen in this world.
At the Joint Intelligence Conference, along with the heads of Government Communications Headquarters, MI5 and MI6, Alan Wilson, his face grim, held a list of Soviet aid to Indonesia, “The Prime Minister is not averse to solving the problem on the Danish model. The situation in Indonesia is turning inexorably towards, in favor of the enemy and against the free world.”
“Secretary General, a preventive war?” Guy Liddell asked, referring to the Danish model. Liddell inquired, referring to the Danish model, the preventive war that Britain had preemptively carried out by sending the Danish navy directly to the bottom of the sea.
“Just to say it’s not exclusive, it’s better, if possible, to lend an internal operation to set up a victory.” Alan Wilson said with a twist of words, “Find a way to set off an internal conflict, like Iran did.”
“Indonesia can have a total of bonus three million members, it’s quite a power.” Richard White sucked in a breath of cold air, this was not normally difficult.
Philby nodded, indicating that the Jakarta government was not easy to deal with, this matter was not as simple as it was thought to be, “Are we looking for supportive forces to use this as a foundation against the Sukarno government.”
“Philby, may I ask which is the second largest city in Indonesia?” Alan Wilson abruptly asked back, then emphasized, “The only super city in the whole of Indonesia is Jakarta, and we can only set our eyes on Jakarta.”
Philby’s point was to support the capitalists against the authorities, with the free world standing by in solidarity. It could be used for cities like Leningrad in the USSR, the Magic City in a major country, or Bombay in India.
These cities have a common advantage, obviously eat the geographical advantage and policy, but the self-esteem is very high, a natural born not born me Li Chungang, the key to the road of all ages as long as the night, oblivious to the fact that their own dishes stingy, but also just the life of the consumables.
In fact throw them to Siberia, the roof of the world, Kashmir, a different group of people living in their city, everything will not change, maybe it will become better.
Jakarta has a cranial position in Indonesia, following no challengers, as both capital and port. Supporting the economic center of the rebels and challenging the authority of the capital? There was no basis for that.
“This threat is too big, the Vietcong doesn’t even have this many people, before it becomes the Soviet system it has three million members, if it really becomes the Soviet system, the threat will be even bigger.”
Alan Wilson tapped on the table with a grave face, “Plans must be made with the complete elimination of the Communist presence in Indonesia, even if it means letting Indonesia bleed to death, we can’t be one sided and allow them to be irresponsible and become an ally of the USSR, it’s great that they recognize the mistake, if they don’t the price of three million lives is a terrible price to pay, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. ”
Several of the intelligence heads were in different states of mind, but all were shocked by the murderous tone of the Cabinet Secretary.
“Is it urgent, Secretary General?” Guy . Liddell spoke up and inquired, “When are we going to do it?”
“The United States has recently entered the election process again, we wait for this wave of rallies to pass. Act with the Americans!” Alan Wilson scanned several intelligence heads and eventually landed on Philby to retract, “Don’t be afraid of the dead once we make our move, for the prosperity and stability of the free world, any price is worth it.”
“And then make trouble over the Royal Navy?” Guy. Liddell nodded deeply, “When that day really comes, make sure to sift through the whole of Indonesia.”
“Right, it’s better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to let one go, that’s the kind of attitude that’s needed.” Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, this is a true English gentleman, do what you want to do, the knife must pass through the stone, the grass must pass through the fire, and the people must change their seed.
“Is there an intelligence assessment of Japan and Korea?” Alan Wilson inquired, his eyes fell on Richard White.
Britain is now faced with Japan’s industrial competition, before making certain achievements on the EEC, calling on European countries not to unilaterally open their markets, but to demand reciprocal treatment from Japan.
To be honest, the probability is that Japan will adopt the strategy of not in favor of not opposing not making a sound and responding in silence.
If this is the case, the European Community will have to express regret to Japan, the European Community’s decision-making, as long as the British and French nod, will sooner or later be adopted.
“Japan, a country with nothing, must be a trade surplus country, otherwise they even have problems eating. The door to Europe has been closed, let’s see how we exhaust these bastards who don’t know the sky.”
Alan Wilson was hesitant, but it was just a country with a demographic dividend. As long as this climb is interrupted a little bit, it will take a huge extra effort in climbing up.
What’s so terrible about a demographic dividend? The hard-working generation will get old, there will always be a time when they can’t do what they’re doing now, the fertility rate will decrease, and it’s not like the resources will run away with their legs open?
So Alan Wilson does not care about countries with a demographic dividend, not to mention that Japan’s population is not endless, itself is still an island nation dependent on international markets.
If it is not the bulk of raw material price increases brought about by the consequences can not be assessed, taking advantage of this food fluctuations, it would have been a good opportunity to increase the price of iron ore. The reason why he did not do so, not afraid of Japan how but Brazilian iron ore has been sold to the United States part of the United States, he is afraid of the United Kingdom to draw fire, and the United States is not affected, or by virtue of Japan?
The Soviet Embassy in Jakarta, Ambassador Yegentimov pushed open the door to his room and saw a young man with his head held high standing in front of him, “Comrade Ambassador, Alexeyev sends his regards.”
“Alyosha, don’t be so formal. A private telegram has come from Moscow. I happened to see if you were accustomed to coming here, and as you know, the climate here is not very friendly to us Soviets.” Yegentimov smiled grudgingly, then held out a telegram, “It’s a telegram from Comrade Feriubin, isn’t it, and your father is very concerned about you.”
“I am always grateful for that!” Alexeyev was almost certain it was a telegram from his mother, Foltseva, but still defended the image of Feriubin.
He waited until Yegentimov had left before he opened the code book to translate the telegram, a child in the end, and as the contents were unfolded, Alexeyev’s face couldn’t help but grow stony, and one hand involuntarily touched to the Damascus steel blade at his waist, which seemed to give him renewed courage, “Come on then, I’d like to see just who’ll land on their head. ”
Although the content was extremely frightening and even horrifying, Alexeyev still felt that there was a chance that the British could not do it on their own, or that they would have to join forces with the United States.
Telegrams about the evolution of the situation in Indonesia, which had become so dangerous that it was necessary for Britain and the United States to take decisive measures, were made known to Dulles through the special channels of the Five Eyes Coalition.
Robert F. Kennedy told of the British claim to inform his brother, and Kennedy could not help but mock, “The British are always trying to find something for us to do to protect their colonial order against the Soviet Union and with American money American lives.”
“That is indeed the case, but the intelligence services and the military still favor, in cooperation with the United States, the eradication of the Sukarno regime.” Robert Kennedy replied bitterly, “But we haven’t even solved the Vietnam problem.”
“Don’t try to get me to nod my head in another war that I don’t know how much it will cost.” Kennedy grunted softly, “I’m not going to want to believe whatever Truman says when he faces Churchill.”
“So we turn down the British?” Robert Kennedy inquired of his brother, whom he still trusted and the two were very close.
“Don’t reject it yet, wait for me to come back.” Kennedy thought for a moment, it was better not to react too quickly.
“John, where are you going?” Robert Kennedy heard, then asked Kennedy about his trip.
“Election rally, it’s almost election year again.” Kennedy gave a bitter smile, “Getting close to the voters, it’s all essential.”
“Well, then we’ll wait for you to return.” Robert Kennedy could only reply this way, while the two were conversing, the dressed up Jacqueline appeared, Robert Kennedy nodded his head in greeting at Jacqueline, and left the space for the couple.
Next year is an election year, so Kennedy has been focused on re-election since the beginning of the year.
However, there was a conflict between the liberal faction of the Texas Democratic Party, represented by Yarbrough, and the conservative faction, led by Governor Connally, in order to reconcile the two sides and gain the support of the large southern state.
“Lyndon, you’re from Texas, aren’t you?” Before leaving the White House, Kennedy was still having a laugh with Vice President Lyndon Johnson, “This time when I go to Texas, I have to reconcile the disputes between the two factions, and it is certainly not easy.”
“Mr. President, with your prestige in the party, you will certainly achieve your goal.” Lyndon Johnson replied with a smile, “With the way things are going, the Republican Party is not challenging.”
“And not to be taken lightly, Nixon lost unconvincingly last time and wants to give it a try this time.” Kennedy laughed cheerfully, for being able to defeat the veteran politicians in his first days, he was also quite proud of himself.
After a while, Kennedy’s wife Jacqueline walked out of the White House, and the two took off on Air Force One. Heading to Texas.
Taking out Alaska and Texas as the number one states on the mainland of the United States, Texas has a special character in the United States, and is also the stronghold of the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, with a capital city, Dallas, which is not as inconsequential as its own population.
Conservative strongholds are angry at the Kennedy brothers, who are increasingly turning their backs on conservatives, and Kennedy came to Texas this time in hopes of making conservatives realize that black affirmative action is the way to go, and that obstructionism won’t work.
Texans were also very excited about Kennedy’s arrival, especially the black community.
