Chapter 1310 Reaching Consensus

Anyway, the current UK is in the midst of the so-called consensus politics, this consensus has not yet been overthrown by Thatcher, what is the so-called consensus politics, just look at what Prime Minister Adderley once said, we have to combine the advantages of the two systems and build the Socialist Community of Great Britain to know.

“There are rumors that there is talk of another general election for the Conservatives after this mediation, have you heard of that?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired of her husband in a whisper.

“There’s still this, but even if it’s a general election, it’s actually understandable.” Alan Wilson hadn’t heard of this kind of talk, but was able to understand that a general election in the UK could start at any time, as long as the parties were split and support was not dominant, or even as long as the Prime Minister himself felt it was appropriate to open a general election there could be another election.

Such considerations don’t necessarily have to be justified, for example, if Aidan feels that his age, exactly five years in the dry is more appropriate, and scheduled himself to retire at that time, he can open a general election. Or if Aidan feels that a general election after mediation will help the Conservative Party to secure its rule, he can also call a general election.

It all depends on Aiden’s own mood, it is not unheard of in British history to have another general election after less than a year in power, as long as the prime minister himself feels that there is no problem, that is no problem.

“I’m going back to Perth again soon, in fact, sometimes think about it. With a certain amount of wealth though.” Pamela Mountbatten suddenly let out a long, lyrical sigh of emotion.

“Billions of points, indeed only billions of points.” Alan Wilson reached out and cupped his wife’s cheek, “You’ll get a streetlight hanging if word gets out that you talk like that. Luckily, most of your industries have nothing to do with the mainland, and the ones that are on the mainland are given the full treatment, otherwise, I guess public opinion would be more inclined to use the anti-trust laws on you.”

Alan Wilson knows, since it is respectively wife is certainly pending your small emotions, this time need to appease the female richest suffering heart, with practical action to carry out.

In fact, and his wife everywhere in the United Kingdom to walk around is also good, the scenery in the poor, poor over in space look like the surface of Mars Australia? Enjoy a little country life is actually not bad, of course, country life and remote mountain life is safe and different, the former is the spice of life, the latter is the world is difficult.

The two decided to go around the Isle of Wight, and it was a bad day, and just as they arrived at the place, they ran into a sudden change of weather.

The room was gloomy. Outside it was raining. The fat gull was motionless and perched on a stake. He did not see it fly. Nor did he know when it had been perched there. Normally the gulls would not fly so close to the house, not even in the worst weather, even though there was only a three-hundred-meter stretch of bare wilderness separating the garden from the sea. This wilderness, undulating in height, led to a notch in the coast, to the left of which was the foot of a cliff.

The steady, unrelenting rain, even though it broke the horizon, was not enough to blur the vision at a relatively close distance. On the contrary, it might almost be said that the washed air did good to the nearest objects: it gave them an added glow – for light-colored objects, and it took a day’s delay for the weather to turn clear.

“In fact, for the condition of the islands, England is truly a chosen place; there is no other island in the world that can compare with England.” Taking his wife’s hand and blowing the sea breeze, Alan Wilson said with feeling, “Being a Briton is something you can be proud of.”

“You obviously like a bigger country.” Pamela Mountbatten poked at her husband’s hypocritical rhetoric; she could remember her man raving about the United States, the Soviet Union, China, and India, not so much about Britain.

“I said island nations. Didn’t say continents!” Alan Wilson looked at his demolishing wife and emphasized, “Every place has its own strengths and weaknesses, so if you want to comment, it’s better not to go on vacation.”

But Pamela Mountbatten so wanted to come to the interest, must let her husband say what place is most favorable, Allen Wilson can only answer, “East Asia, the second is North America. The third is Europe, and then South Asia. It is not easy to come out of a trip, let’s not talk about this.”

As the two men took a break from the area and chatted with the locals, he was told that nothing had changed on the island in thirty years; however, often all it takes is a tech house next to the penthouse or a renovation of the front of a house to change a house to the point where it’s completely unrecognizable.

Alan Wilson almost wanted to put the man to work in Whitehall; it was true that the master of the art was in the field, and had put the work of the framer so spot on.

The meeting in Stockholm had been going on for some time, as a neutral country, and as a host to mediate between India and Pakistan, as well as the UK and USSR who had stepped in to take the lead, it could greatly increase Sweden’s influence, and it would also make the two camps more recognizable for their neutral status, which was taken very seriously by the Erlander government.

In a neutral position, by Erlander is considered to be Sweden in the Cold War pattern in the middle of an important move, since the post-war has been in power Erlander, but also on this meeting is extremely important. He was busy providing maximum assistance to Britain and the Soviet Union, and several rounds of the main negotiations had already taken place. He has now come to understand that both Britain and the USSR are leaning towards India’s claims to varying degrees.

While inevitably lamenting Pakistan, Sweden still had to be on the side of the victor, and it was still a little too idealistic for Erlend to think so, and Allen Wilson could then recall an old historical incident where the three countries intervened in the return of Liao, which was essentially similar to the talks in this instance.

Neutrality also has a position, Sweden must be on the side of the majority of the countries, in the talks will be on the side of Britain and the Soviet Union, to create an environment in favor of India.

After sending his wife back to Australia, Alan Wilson showed up at the Stockholm meeting for the first time, mainly to keep an eye on the progress and prove that he had come. Recently he had been testing to see if the Prime Minister really meant to open a general election if he succeeded in mediation; Aidan was now sixty-seven, and to come out and run again in a couple of years at the age of seventy might be subject to criticism.

Considering his age, Aidan’s age is not a big problem if he starts a general election at this time, and he will not be subjected to the party’s discontent. Of course all this was revealed to him by Defense Minister Profumo.

“With Christmas just around the corner, won’t Pakistan give in? Is it possible that the war is back on and Pakistan can guarantee that it won’t spit out the benefits that it has been handed?” Alan Wilson was draped in an overcoat, which would have been a proper image of a laboring man in a different place, say Moscow.

The supreme authority at the moment, holding a coffee brought over by Greta Garbo, spat on Pakistan’s lack of cooperation, as for Dixon to play the role of an audience.

“Secretary-General, we have said what needs to be said.” Dixon expressed Britain’s attitude, which he had relayed to Pakistan, and also said that just because Pakistan was taking advantage of something now didn’t mean it would do so again in the future.

“To get immediate results, we have to come up with a consensus between us and the Soviets. The Foreign Secretary arrives tomorrow and we facilitate a meeting with the Soviet Foreign Minister.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, “Our two countries set things down, this time the war is over, the prime minister is very much looking forward to immediately take out the results, some rumors you also know, I will not say more.”

Some rumors, that is, refers to the Aiden to open the general election, this kind of thing never talk about hidden, can be said to be the Secretary of the heart of everyone knows, the Prime Minister did a good job, of course, is trying to find a way to re-election.

As the British and Soviet diplomatic heads prepare to meet, the Battle of the Duc Long Valley has come to an end, and the United States has fought out the first large-scale ground battle of its full-scale involvement in the situation in Vietnam.

The attacked 2nd Battalion of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment had lost one hundred and fifty-five men killed and one hundred and twenty-one wounded in an encounter. Both sides felt that they had achieved a great deal and both considered their side the victor. The U.S. Army had practiced helicopterborne assaults on a large scale and performed well, but was vulnerable to a well-qualified adversary relying only on the equipment of its own troops. The U.S. Army failed to realize its plan to search and destroy the NVA.

Unfortunately, this battle, at this time the Stockholm Conference did not promote the effect, Allen Wilson did talk to the Indians, about the helicopter gunships in the battlefield important role of the matter, is to the just-concluded Battle of the Drang Valley as an example.

Unfortunately, by the Indians a I read less you do not lie to me face treatment, India heard the Tiger helicopter gunships selling price, directly expressed disinterest. And that British equipment is not as reliable as Pakistan’s American equipment in the middle of this war.

This kind of slander the British military industry’s remarks, rightly refuted by Alan Wilson, to say that the equipment of the ground forces is still a little bit of truth, the United Kingdom really can not compare with the Soviet Union. But American tanks can also be compared with British tanks? India’s losses this time are huge, obviously the air force is unfavorable, what? The air force was also British equipped, when he didn’t say so.

“Mr. Gromeko, the British attitude is for our two countries to come up with a proposal that shows our common attitude.”

Rab Butler got right to the point after meeting Gromyko, “India is traditionally a British sphere of influence, but of course I would like to emphasize that India has become independent and is now a major power with influence. I am sure the Soviets agree with this. The war will not end if we do not favor India, I wonder if the Soviets agree?”

“This we do agree, the land occupied by Pakistan must be returned and both sides retreat to the state they were in before the war. Otherwise India will not relent.” Gromyko nodded, “The outcome will be different if the war starts again, not to mention that the US is fighting a war in Southeast Asia, even if they have this time to help Pakistan, this time Pakistan is not going to win.”

The first consensus that Britain and the Soviet Union got was to stand together to put pressure on Pakistan, and after this meeting Rabo Butler took the discussion of the meeting and informed Washington about it. The war will not end if Pakistan does not retreat from the occupied lands.
