Chapter 1257 France Looking East
Alan Wilson had a dilemma: should he include South Vietnam in his report or not?
Out of the Cabinet Secretary in the eyes of favorable developments for Britain, there should be a place for South Vietnam, but what kind of attitude, encouragement words a little too obvious, just narration then? It would be better not to include South Vietnam.
Thinking long and hard, Alan Wilson decided to do the opposite, believing that before the Vietnam War began, there must have been countless people from all walks of life in the United States, and even European politics, who warned the United States not to go to war. But in the end, the U.S. still had no choice but to go to war.
These well-intentioned reminders of the voices, is he Allen Wilson one more, the Americans do not fight? So many think tanks, politicians can not stop things, he a British how to have such a big face.
“In view of the special social environment in Asia, as well as the lessons learned from the French, a conservative attitude should be taken towards South Vietnam, such as if it is possible to drive the development of South Vietnam in the form of assistance, which is what the free world is good at.” Alan Wilson scrutinized the document called the Indonesia investigation, which was in fact a scourge, and pondered whether the wording was not a little more careful.
Although he hoped that the sooner the Vietnam War started, the better, but it could not be obvious, the ultimate choice was still in the hands of the United States, even the U.S. military.
Comparing the memories in his mind, Alan Wilson understood very well what would come out of the defeat of the United States, high on drugs, hippies, ****, etc., the Soviet Union launched a global offensive, the Japanese Red Army, the West German Red Army, the Red Brigades in Italy have appeared, as well as how can we forget the Irish Republican Army?
In the 70’s and 80’s, even a lot of Americans believed that the US would be the losing side in the Cold War.
This is what happens when you personally go down to defeat, so the US was right to choose to sell out Ukraine in the Ukrainian War, which Russia’s victory or defeat would have had no effect on the US. But if the U.S. goes down, not to mention defeat, not even a nice win.
In the final analysis, the two sides of the foundation is completely different, after the collapse of the Soviet Union Russia would have been at the bottom of the valley, but as the victor of the Cold War, the United States is not like this, the Earth’s ball long to do it happily it.
With great restraint, Alan Wilson in good conscience posing as a pacifist, said the best solution to the situation in South Vietnam is to benefit, the United States to benefit more South Vietnam, in the United States to find 20 million daddies, this matter can be satisfactorily resolved.
“It would be a hell of a thing if the Americans would listen to my advice.” Finally completed the ideological core of this Five Eyes Coalition exchange, Alan Wilson was complacent, if the world had a few more people like him, where would there be any wars, and for a while the Cabinet Secretary felt like black angel wings had appeared on his back.
Called Richard White to come to Whitehall, the results of my painstaking efforts, solemnly handed over to the head of MI6, “Maintaining unity with the United States is very important to Britain.”
It was quite dry, although it was citing the right evidence to the wrong conclusion, and the only thing that might have made the Americans uncomfortable, was some of the wording that might have made the Americans uncomfortable in their minds, and the Americans hated the British tone of treating the United States as if it were the Romans, and themselves as if they were the Greeks. The way he phrased this one, it was very much like the Greeks chattering in front of the Romans.
Richard White eyed the peerless authority who had already picked up his goji berry glass, “The Secretary General isn’t attending directly this time?”
“My old friend Dulles is retired, there is no need to attend.” Alan Wilson was quite sentimental, the deceased people withered one after another as if they were leaves falling in the wind, he had already slightly experienced the Prime Minister’s sentiments.
Waiting for Richard White to leave, Alan Wilson meditation, the winding up of the Indonesian affairs is considered to be over, as for the unfortunate loss of nine intelligence officers, think carefully, it seems to be irrelevant.
A trip, a lot of work left behind to make up for, this can give Alan Wilson exhausted, after and the Princess, Hepburn and Bokina’s friendly condolences, a tired Alan Wilson can finally rest, and then he unscrewed the door of Marilyn Monroe’s room.
Embracing Marilyn Monroe’s delicate body, entering the sage time Allen Wilson’s spirit is empty, he is now a bit regretful, should not provoke this woman, mainly not young, not like in New Delhi’s age, no matter how much to spend youth, all woke up with a sleep as usual spirit.
“You said last time that the Kennedy brothers were going to kill me?” Marilyn Monroe squirmed, still unable to resist asking the question in her mind, her eyes fixed on the man’s face as if trying to see the truth.
“Until we do, all suspicions can only be speculation. But it is true that there are unknown people appearing around your house.” Having no choice but to put on the mask of a dog licker again, this was the reason why he regretted it, even if he was acting, he wasn’t always in shape, and he got tired after acting for a long time.
“How about you, you are also a high official, Vivian said that you are in England, at least not worse than the little Kennedy, one day I make you unhappy, what will you do to me?” Marilyn Monroe inquired as she wrapped her arms around Alan Wilson’s neck, “Would you try to kill me like the Kennedy brothers?”
“No.” Allen Wilson answered in his mind, thinking in his heart that it depended on the situation, but that didn’t stop him from cutting to the chase, “I wouldn’t do that to a woman, because I love you.”
“Do it again, show me how you love me?” Marilyn Monroe rolled over and pressed herself against Alan Wilson, lightly opening her lips and whispering, “Don’t think I’m like this with anyone.”
The Cabinet Secretary has a busy schedule, and it’s normal for his energy to be low at times, but it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for Whitehall’s work to just be like what’s in front of him, discussing the chickenshit of metric and imperial units.
The more this kind of trivial matters, often years will not have results, even Stockholm’s negotiations on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, have results earlier than this matter.
Alan Wilson knew that the United States was the only country left in the latter days that still used imperial units, and the United Kingdom had shifted to the metric system, but thanks to the full cooperation and unwavering determination from all over Whitehall, the United Kingdom had achieved the best possible result after thirty long, tortuous years of repeated trade-offs, starting from 1965, when it claimed to be making the shift, and continuing through 1995, when it was completed.
“The gentlemen have a point, well, come up with a feasibility report and adjourn the meeting.” Alan Wilson had finally taken the time of a meeting to get back into the swing of things, so the meeting was still relevant.
Mountbatten’s route back home was diametrically opposed to his earlier trip to the state funeral; Allen Wilson was going from Washington to Perth, sparing a big circle. Field Marshal Mountbatten, on the other hand, went to the United States after finalizing the arms sales contract with Australia.
Mountbatten believed it was vital to maintain close ties with the Americans. When he became Chief of Defense Staff, he had no problem maintaining and developing relations with the Americans, as many of the military leaders there were his old comrades and friends from his wartime days.
When he visited the Pentagon, Mountbatten was surprised to find that all the U.S. military chiefs of staff were old friends of his. Chief of Staff of the Air Force Cortez LeMay and Chief of Staff of the Army General Wheeler had both served in the Allied Command in Southeast Asia, and Admiral Anderson had known Mountbatten even earlier. As a result, they were able to converse with each other in an open and honest exchange of views, despite a number of differences of opinion.
Mountbatten had few qualms about stating his views in front of his old friends, even though his opinions sometimes sounded harsh to the other side.
“I expounded my views on Indonesian and South Vietnamese affairs, but my old friends seemed less inclined to listen.” Mountbatten, who had returned to London to meet his son-in-law, was blunt about the exchange.
“My dear Field Marshal, there is money to be made in war, let alone your persuasion, even if Kennedy were alive it wouldn’t work, let alone if he were killed.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to persuade his father-in-law, “There is a saying in the East, a cannon is worth ten thousand taels of gold. You are preventing your old comrades in arms from getting rich.”
A small one in Afghanistan, I dang the top of the mountain city threw in two trillion, can be called horrible as such, which is like the British small family, this time the Australian big single to get the tears of joy.
If it is not the U.S. military in Afghanistan to raise the enemy to make too much, will not be the great emperor feel but so. Without the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. itself has enough threatening power.
But listening to the words of Mountbatten, Allen Wilson is still rewarding, he was still struggling with whether the wording is more direct, become a stumbling block for the U.S. Army to kill Vietnam, now it seems that the worry is superfluous. At least the Pentagon was determined, and with the example of the USS Maine in front of them, excuses were never in short supply.
“The Pentagon has also been quite vocal about British and Australian arms sales. Of course I’ve communicated that.” Mountbatten mentioned the arms sales, “I hope it won’t damage the alliance between the two countries.”
“The Americans have the time to pressure us now?” Alan Wilson, with a look of extreme sublimity, watched the fun, “The Americans are bluffing, Washington should think about how to face the challenge of Paris. Edgar Foer’s visit to China is enough to make the Americans scratch their heads.”
“He seems to have faded from politics.” Marshal Mountbatten frowned, “Could the French be preparing to establish diplomatic relations? De Gaulle wouldn’t be so hasty, would he?”
“I think it’s only a matter of two or three months, after the New Year there will probably be results.” Alan Wilson spread his hands and said, “De Gaulle’s power in France is no less than that of the leader of a Soviet institutionalized country. Edgar Fuhr’s visit to China must have been approved by de Gaulle. The Americans still have time to trouble us, and if the United States wants Britain to balance the situation within Europe, it would be best to speak to Britain calmly.”
“So soon? What are the French up to?” Mountbatten was taken aback, if his son-in-law’s judgment was correct, then the United States really didn’t have the time to gab with Britain, and its mind was drawn to the French.
