Chapter 1264 McCarthy’s candidacy

Britain’s attitude towards European countries is offshore balanced, even if the fight is won, it will not be under the death hand, Napoleonic France is the most dangerous time for Britain, Britain in the end did not do anything to France.

Unconditional surrender this kind of American original slogan, can be said to have changed the rules of engagement of European countries, which is also the reason why the Germans resisted to the end of World War II even to the end.

Of course, now the Germans may not remember what they were fighting for at the time, but they still have to live on, and whether it’s the GDR or the Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the level of the two Germanys isn’t that bad, is it?

Speaking of Germany, because Alan Wilson was instrumental in establishing a link between Iran and Germany, the Germans found that the self-proclaimed Aryan community was not that difficult to reach.

In that sense Alan Wilson was really good to the Germans, and the maintenance of the special relationship between Germany and Iran, because of his role as a friend of England was not interrupted and was restored earlier.

“On Iran we were able to get French support, not so much on Vietnam. It’s time to be in favor of it, and it’s time to be against it.” Alan Wilson solemnly urged that undermining the resumption of the Geneva Conference remained Britain’s quest on Vietnam, and of course the United States had to be made aware of Britain’s efforts on the issue.

“Secretary General, what’s the best way to do this.” Brexit was clueless as to how to proceed, and a diplomatic boycott seemed a little too obvious.

So it is still necessary to operate from a force that has no relationship with the government explicitly, that is to say, public opinion, Alan Wilson difficult to whisper, “I personally do not want to dig deeper, the Vietnam War in Vietnam France did bad things in Vietnam, but this time to nausea disgusted by the French, but it is also unavoidable.”

Women and children were the most hated group of all, regardless of ethnicity, and a newspaper leaking battlefield accounts would be enough to create a heartbreaking story.

It’s not out of the question to be disgusted with France, but there’s also a measure to be taken, or you might stir up anti-British feelings in the French, and it’s not out of the question that we don’t point the finger at the French, we point the finger at the black French soldiers.

During the Vietnam War, the French army in Vietnam had a lot of black African soldiers, in fact, it would be more appropriate to blame the North African soldiers, if we don’t take into account the fact that Algeria is still in French hands.

Far from their homeland, the French, put a lot of Vietnamese women for in their minds as a mixture of monkeys and women animals, they showed an extremely savage and primitive nature.

Many of the French factories at the time were guarded by black mercenaries from the French colonies, and although they themselves were discriminated against by their masters, they showed a strong sense of superiority over Vietnamese women.

These black mercenaries often took advantage of the fact that the women workers were coming home from work or bathing in the stream to catch them and rape them.

The black mercenaries also broke into the restrooms during work hours and raped the women workers there. The black guards at the entrances and exits of the factory took advantage of the inspections to grope the female workers almost daily. This daily practice of humiliation provoked protests from the workers.

This humiliation, eventually led to a confrontation between the Vietnamese and the French, and the Vietnamese resistance finally came together as a powerful military force to fight the French Expeditionary Force head on.

Alan Wilson had foreseen the French ambassador’s prejudgement, putting Dixon on top instead of himself, accepting the French protests and then expressing regret instead of himself, Britain being a free speech society, he couldn’t close the paper that reported it just because the French were disgruntled, although there were ways in which he could have made the effect the same as a censorship.

“As if you English were so clean.” Dixon, back in Whitehall, relayed the Frenchman’s anger one way or the other.

“It’s not quite the same; I can’t say that I’m autumn clean in all the colonies, but in Malaya it’s safer there than in Paris, the capital of France.” Alan Wilson replied with an air of indifference, except that the costs were borne by people in specific areas, such as Singapore, which specialized in attracting female workers from neighboring countries, or Thailand, which was not that far away.

“I also made clear Britain’s attitude that the Geneva Conference had failed to solve the problem. At the same time Switzerland is not a neutral country and cannot afford the role of an international conference.” Dixon continued to report, “Secretary-General, isn’t this a bit?”

“Some of what? Is it important for the goodwill of the Americans, or the goodwill of the French?” Alan Wilson scrutinized Dixon, surveying the other party with a gaze that judged whether he was reliable or not, “The French are now repeatedly singing in opposition to Washington, and this is already the least costly approach in terms of our maintenance of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Do we terminate the project of cooperation between the two countries, and show the United States our sincerity by a lose-lose solution?”

How is this not also proving to America that Britain is reliable, at least more reliable than the increasingly unruly France? That way the US would feel comfortable and bold enough to go to Vietnam to prove that the US was better than France.

Pamela Mountbatten came back, Allen Wilson in March ended his career as a naked official, and became a man with a family again. Having missed seeing each other for a long time, the couple had endless things to say, such as, “You’re doing well in London, and Margaret’s baby will surely be born with a little more love and care.”

“Darling, you can not forgive me for my mistakes, in fact, everyone can not compare to you in my heart in case.” Alan Wilson was close to kowtowing two to his wife and could only change the topic, “The international situation has consumed me all quite a bit of time this year, and I very much need my wife’s good understanding.”

“You are eating me up.” Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, “It’s not just the Iran and Vietnam issue. I see that the American side seems to be expressing that they cherish peace or something.”

“That’s because the U.S. is having an election this year.” Alan Wilson hemmed and hawed, “With the current polls, no one thinks Lyndon Johnson will lose. That’s why he’s all conservative and tries not to speak out on Vietnam, instead the Republican Party speaks out of turn and tries to attract as much attention as possible without the possibility of victory.”

“I heard your friend McCarthy announced his candidacy.” Pamela Mountbatten suddenly spoke up, “Do you know anything about this, and how is he going to run?”

“It’s questionable if he can win against several of his Republican opponents.” Allen Wilson shook his head to indicate that there is little hope, “The Republican Party may choose extremely radical election slogans, Lyndon Johnson does not take a position, the Republican Party shows a look of a war advocate, but also be able to see in the end how many Americans are true conservatives.”

Several of the Republican contenders, now in unison, were advocating for war, not that they were necessarily how warlike, it was just that the Republican Party had to resort to a boomerang tactic because the Kennedy assassination disadvantage was so great.

In the meantime, the military and political situation in South Vietnam had deteriorated dramatically, making it even more difficult for Washington to make a choice: either avoid direct military involvement or prevent the fall of South Vietnam. Serious differences of opinion arose during the period as to what measures should be taken against the faltering Saigon regime, which left Lyndon Johnson uncertain and Washington’s policy confused and unclear.

Growing discouragement and despair over this difficult and dangerous problem ran like a black thread through the administration’s arguments.

One of the Republican candidates, Barry Goldwater, has maintained a hard line on Vietnam.

At Republican rallies he shouted at supporters that the United States should have dropped a low-energy atomic bomb to destroy the woods in which the attackers were hiding while the French army in Vietnam was surrounded at Dien Bien Phu ten years earlier.

The next day, he elaborated further. If the U.S. had intervened, he said, it would surely have “pushed the war into North Vietnam – which we should have bombed ten years ago without having to risk our lives.” Needless to say, this kind of bellicose rhetoric took many voters by surprise.

With such a colleague in the room, even McCarthy turned a milder color, though of course McCarthy was equally supportive of the U.S. settling the Vietnam issue once and for all, as it had done in the Korean War.

“This time to participate in the general election, for for is a very critical step in life, may also be the only opportunity, to the present time, I can’t stop my emotions stirring. Can you feel this mood, my friend!”

Across the Atlantic, Allen Wilson was also able to feel the excitement of his old friend, as a politician who started out as an anti-Soviet, McCarthy was not immune to the face of the presidential throne.

At such a time McCarthy also maintained and Allen Wilson’s correspondence, how can the Cabinet Secretary not be touched, a moment to make a return call, in the telegram to McCarthy’s campaign path to express encouragement, “We have survived a long time in crisis and danger, and we are almost unanimous in our determination that the United States is concerned with any threat to this order …… do so because we have learned, after paying a terrible price, that we can no longer wait for the rapids of conflict to invade our shores. Aggression and unrest anywhere in the world will sow the seeds of destruction of our own freedom and civilization.”

“Can McCarthy win?” Seeing her husband finish a goading-tongued return telegram, Pamela Mountbatten inquired of this of her man.

“Can’t win, but he’s my friend and I’m going to encourage him.” Alan Wilson remembers that this election was either first or second in U.S. history in terms of margin, with the Republican Party, except for the historic breakthroughs accomplished in a few Southern states, a total loss.

But the capture of the southern states lost by the Democrats because of affirmative action also marked the beginning of the two parties stealing each other’s homes, with the Republicans getting more and more conservative and the Democrats going all the way along political correctness.

What happened in America was none of his business, but McCarthy was his friend, running for office at the moment, and he made sure to be on his friend’s side, even if that friend was not very popular in the eyes of many.
