Chapter 1246 – Miracle with Great Effort

Just like that, before Allen Wilson left, he swore something about an isolated incident.

Even a sitting president, can be taken out by such means, the United States of America as a country what can not be done?

This time the discussion at 10 Downing Street was much more heated than the news of Kennedy’s assassination had come before. Both Aidan and the other cabinet ministers were more empathetic.

“Duncan’s death in the first place, to this day, has not been found out.” Rab Butler referred again to Duncan, Churchill’s son-in-law, the Secretary of State for Defense and killed during his tenure as Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs.

“As a matter of fact, he died in a manner quite unlike JFK.” Aiden recalled carefully that Duncan had indeed been sniped to death in an open car, except that Duncan had died in the colonies, not on British soil.

“What were the findings at the time?” Profumo inquired, his being a mere member of the House of Commons at the time, and not having been entrusted with the task, he did not know much about the matter.

“At that time at the disarmament juncture, the investigation report suspected that it was disgruntled colonial troops who struck because of the disarmament and evacuation, but because of the conditions in the colony, the investigation could not be sure of the outcome if it went deeper.”

If Alan Wilson had been at 10 Downing Street, he would have cursed American plagiarism, and he’d have used a convertible once. America, at least a beacon of the free world, couldn’t do it differently.

The difference is that Duncan’s assassination this time around still points to something fairly obvious, and the investigative report doesn’t hide who it suspects. It was just true that there were a thousand things that could not be identified.

Since then, in the treatment of disarmament, the Ministry of Defense is also more attentive, simply put, it is to enhance the soldiers’ discharge treatment and welfare protection and so on, to calm down the discontent that may arise because of disarmament.

Of course, the result of this is that the Ministry of Defense did some calculations, and found that after the disarmament did not save a lot of money than without disarmament, but only saved some of the procurement of weapons and equipment. Since then, the Ministry of Defense has been much less enthusiastic about disarmament.

The new disarmament program was still to carry out visionary disarmament, reduce the total strength of the British army to 595,000 men. It was then to be gradually replaced by overseas forces, and was closely related to and integrated with Britain’s colonial independence program.

Also because Britain’s finances continued to improve, the Conservatives were now less enthusiastic about disarmament.

Washington, D.C., Lana Turner’s upscale apartment, the hostess took the microphone and lowered her voice, “Well, it’s been a while, too.”

As she spoke, one eye even peeked to the side for fear of waking the guests resting here.

Lana Turner was overly concerned, Allen Wilson is a pure dead pig as long as he falls asleep, because of its own state of chronic sleep deprivation, and once he falls asleep, he is extraordinarily sweet.

By the time the Cabinet Secretary, who was running for his country, woke up, he could already hear a group of warbling voices. Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, and Joan Bennett.

“There you all are. Long time no see, ladies.” Alan Wilson greeted with a hangover, making a gentlemanly gesture in front of the ladies who were on equal footing with his wife.

“Just live here straight away?” Joan Crawford raised one eyebrow, her trademark large, rather animated eyebrows.

“Or else, you’re the only friends I have in America.” Alan Wilson took on a tone of how things were supposed to be before turning to Lana Turner, “Is there anything to eat, it’s been a busy day yesterday and today’s been a bit of a reprieve.”

At different stages of these ladies’ lives, he had at least kind of shown up to help out, and if he didn’t even care about food, Allen Wilson thought to himself, that was a bit much.

After a while, it became four rich women surrounded by a foreign man eating soft rice, the scene was very embarrassing, but the Cabinet Secretary did not feel embarrassed, and while eating also watched the TV, reporting the news that the assassin of Kennedy was shot dead.

“I can’t believe this is happening.” Joan Bennett was full of emotion, he also knew that Alan Wilson had come this time to attend the state funeral, and had met with a number of political figures before.

“Knowing too much will not do you any good.” Allen Wilson zip zip zip zip ate noodles, very unexpected, Lana Turner below the flavor is still quite good.

Attend the state funeral, just the obvious task, he came to the United States or communicate the situation in Southeast Asia problem. Precisely how the Sukarno regime was being treated, but there was no need for these ladies to know.

“It’s only a matter of time before this comes out.” Bette Davis watched the news and expressed her confidence in the American system.

Alan Wilson looked on with approval, and the poorest patriot in the East End of London could not help puffing out his chest at the mere thought of British industry and wealth. Only this mentality, now transferred to Americans, was perfectly normal.

Vivian’s friends, that is, the twelve actresses in the bundle, Alan Wilson was not familiar with all of them, but these four in front of him were really quite good relations, and it was very normal to make a trip to the United States to get together.

As for the simple patriotic feelings just expressed by Bette Davis, he, an Englishman, would not correct the other side, and the words could not affect his judgment of the international situation, and it was absolutely fine to listen to them.

The conditions of the United States in the industrial age is unique, to say what are the shortcomings, that is, the terrain of North America is like a big funnel, just opposite the Arctic Ocean, mountain ranges in the east and west coasts, the central terrain is too flat, prone to form extreme climate.

If the United States if there is a mountain range similar to the Qinling Mountains in the border, then the United States conditions can really be called the Chosen Land, if there is a big river running east to west, as the Yangtze River, perfect.

Assuming such a water system exists, it would change the imbalance between the east and west coasts of the U.S. and the interior, the Mississippi River is good, but the entrance to the sea is to the poor Latin America, and can’t play the role of the main artery, it’s a shame.

“I’m going to be a guest at the Dulles house next to talk about things, if the ladies don’t mind coming along.” Allen Wilson offered an invitation, and was greeted with a few startled faces.

“The Secretary of State’s family?” Bette Davis wistfully questioned, but clearly leapt to her feet.

“Bette, I almost forgot you know something about politics and business.” Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, “I guess it’s always good to be friends, and since we’re here once, it’s always good to be able to help introduce each other.”

Of course this is only one reason, Allen Wilson, a British man, although he brought his assistant, but life is not familiar, to go to the home of a former intelligence chief, there is really some fear.

Anyway, he didn’t have much of a decent image in Dulles’ eyes, and directly took a few self-traffic star movie queens with him. Safety was greater than everything, and things like reputation were optional.

“I’d love to.” Bette Davis was the first to agree, she felt she couldn’t pass up an opportunity like this.

Dulles’ home, Langley, outside of Washington, was as small towns all over the United States were even more protected from any outside intrusion.

But in reality this seemingly unremarkable place, no different from a normal town, is the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency. It is also the place where the Dulles siblings always live.

Many intelligence officers and agents had also moved their homes to various towns around Langley. It became a harbor of rest for them after returning home from missions overseas.

Some agents even started a real estate business, renting out their unused homes before a mission, and then returning home a few years later to see their homes appreciate in value.

Many people from the CIA agents to see business opportunities, to help them as real estate agents, or to help them return home after a business trip to ship back full of exotic furniture.

Alan Wilson surprised Dulles quite a bit when he rode in McCarthy’s smooth ride and called on four high-profile friends to be his guests.

“Allen, you’re over-committed to serving society; if you mix in Hollywood, I’m sure there’s definitely a place for you in Vanity Fair.” Dulles swept a glance at the four ladies in full dress and said with feeling.

In fact, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, at their peaks were all dream girls in the eyes of thousands of Americans, one could be considered to be looking at the wrong person, and four appearing together? Dulles was skeptical that the little body of a British gentleman could resist.

If you hadn’t opened your mouth to threaten me during the Nassau agreement? Do you think I’d be willing to be so flamboyant?

“I don’t have many friends in the US, so it’s not easy for me to come here once, so I’ll get together.” Allen Wilson had an ambiguous expression and lowered his voice, “Why be so surprised, didn’t you threaten to make it public.”

Dulles was just about to say something, Allen Wilson had already completed the transformation of talking and farting, and said with a straight face, “In fact, the purpose of my coming is to be in a position to worry about the situation in Southeast Asia. I hope that the United States and Britain together, to lift the threat posed by the Sukarno regime.”

Dulles sniffed no longer pay attention to a few ladies in the garden outside, hesitantly said, “Sir Wilson, you may be very difficult, we are not unwilling to cooperate with the United Kingdom, but it is not good to start.”

Dulles had laid hands on Indonesia, only unsuccessful, creating a peach incident, supporting the rebels of the means have been used.

The previous existence of a military group in Indonesia, which was particularly interested in American support, delighted Dulles.

So a paramilitary operations specialist and a newspaper operator were sent to Sumatra, and large quantities of weapons were shipped to the rebels through American military bases in the Philippines. The CIA also recruited three to four hundred Americans and Filipinos, who traveled to Indonesia in transport planes.

While Sukarno was on his trip, the rebels started a rebellion in Sumatra, followed by rebel air force attacks on Bandung, Manggasi, Ambon, and other places. But the rebellion was still quickly quelled, causing the US to no longer dare to act rashly.

It can be said that before the Bay of Pigs operation, Dulles was the first to suffer a big loss in Indonesia.

This is not a very good memory for Dulles, was about to say something, the left hand side of the phone rings, Dulles is a little strange, pick up the phone to hear the voice of Elena Dulles came, “Allen, Jakarta has a coup d’état, the Indonesian army was cleansed.”

Speaking English, Allen Wilson naturally heard everything, at this time the supreme authority was also greatly shaken, lost his voice, “How is this possible, we have not received a little wind.”

Who did this, although the heart is not completely unprepared, but Alan Wilson never thought things would evolve so.
