Chapter 1321 – France withdraws from NATO

“Put your pants on before you speak, it’s more convincing.” Princess Margaret’s eyes rippled, reminding the supreme authority to pay attention to the image, the time was still early, considering that there might be a follow-up, Her Highness did not shoo people away, inquiring about her brother-in-law’s work recently.

“That can really be too busy, Britain and Arab countries’ military exercises, diplomacy to transfer some reserves to the Far East, of course, actually went to Malaya to deliver industrial goods, by the way, pulled a shipload of grain to sell to India, food can not be put too long, has been stored will also expire. Domestic this is not to promote the nationalization movement, in short, things are still a lot.”

Alan Wilson lifted his pants at the same time, as a number of complained about the work of the busy, to sister-in-law here a trip can not imagine easy, he only came over once a week, is really no time. Of course Her Royal Highness didn’t need to know that there were still and other ladies in England who were on equal footing with their wives, as well as international exchanges from time to time.

“Military maneuvers with an Arab country? Why?” Princess Margaret was a little dismayed, Britain’s relationship with the Arab countries wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t that good?

“That’s not to prove that the British army in the Middle East is busy and can’t help the United States to make a move in the Far East.” Alan Wilson replied in a salty manner, “To save the US from always having to drag our soldiers to their deaths.”

That was the purpose of this Middle East maneuver, which of course was still quite sincere on Britain’s part, pulling in almost all of the current pro-British countries, not even forgetting Saudi Arabia, a pro-American country. Unsurprisingly, the Foreign Office will soon receive a protest from the Israeli side.

Britain’s fall from one side of the hegemony to a loyal follower of the United States is a gradual process, which is also closely related to the United States becoming more and more powerful while Britain stays put.

The UK made the case for a special relationship between the UK and the US loud and clear, and put it into action just after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The US approached the UK several times during the Vietnam War and the UK steadfastly refused to go to war, and in the Korean War Adderley was deceived by the situation of the Americans pushing to the Yalu River before he went down, not to mention the fact that there was no going down at all in this time and place.

From the beginning of the Soviet Union can not start, probably the Gulf War period, the United Kingdom began to participate in every war of the United States, completed from the World War II triumvirate to the United States empire’s loyal lapdogs of the turn.

The time when the Soviet Union was at its strongest and launched its global offensive coincided with the time when Britain was under the rule of the Labor Party and Harold Wilson was on the verge of being suspected of being a Soviet spy.

The reasoning was simple: with the emergence of a strong enemy the US could still be a human being, and when the world was really at peace, the US would treat you like a dog, and you would not yet have the ability to resist.

The Cold War is also the most conservative choice for victory, after all, the Soviet bloc’s land advantage is too obvious, really find a place to compete against each other, the free world this side of the land forces can not take out a hand. Unless the Koreans are really like what they say, the land forces of Eurasia first.

After chatting for a while, my sister-in-law still wants a second orthopedic, as a social public servant who embraces the royal family, Allen Wilson naturally can not be refused, and before leaving, he said that he would come over to find Turing in a few days.

Not at all surprising, after two days, Dixon briefing about Israel’s protest against the joint military exercises of Britain and Arab countries to inform.

“Not at all surprising.” Alan Wilson nodded at Dixon after reading Israel’s wording, “Then just reply according to the normal formula.”

This time, the exercise was simply to pile up the numbers, the gold content of the exercise was not necessarily much, but the level of filming had to be very high. Not to say it’s as shocking as the Western 81, right, but it has to be shocking inside the camera.

Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, even pro-Soviet Syria, pro-US Saudi Arabia also accepted the invitation, stacked out more than four thousand tanks, hundreds of helicopter gunships circling in the sky, British fighters send rockets, the scene is still quite lively, in which the role of the British army is the imaginary enemy of the Arab countries, Israel, of course, this is only the Arab countries think so, the British Foreign Office will not admit it.

“Israel is very disgruntled this time.” Dixon spoke carefully, “questioning the anti-Israeli sentiment in the UK, questioning it.”

“There is no anti-Israeli sentiment in Britain, even if we know that the Israelis treat the Pakistanis no differently than the Germans treated Israel in the first place, don’t we pretend not to see it? This military exercise is entirely in the interest of informing the Israelis that they can rest assured that as long as the United States is not in decline, Israel is safe.”

Allen Wilson gently replied Israel’s security has nothing to do with himself, but depends on the United States.

The reasoning is so simple, the Soviets put the Arab countries terrific is as an ally, the United States treats Israel as its own father.

Deep into the Vietnam War, have ordered the United States to fly all the things sent to Israel, fighter pilots are directly clothes a change, become Israeli pilots to participate in the war, only to save Israel back.

The United States can always remain strong, Israel can always remain strong? There is no such thing as a strong country in this world. After decades of Israel losing to Hezbollah and Hamas, who knows what it would be like in a real fight?

Anyway, Alan Wilson, how many times Israel won is useless, dry Arab and Iran, the world’s peace teach many countries, the United States will not always support Israel, the black presidential period of the United States and Israel’s relationship is very cold.

The most critical thing is that, within Israel, the Jews are not dominant, and there are 13 million Arabs in the Palestinian settlements established by Israel. Israel’s own population is only nine million. The Arabs are growing faster than the Israelis.

Can Israel kill all these 10 million Palestinians as it did in ancient times? Israel dares to do hate killings, but it would never dare to do ethnic cleansing, which is why Israel is having a hard time.

The Americans are willing to offer Israel up, that’s America’s business, as long as there’s a choice, Alan Wilson absolutely can’t let the UK be the same as the US.

The British Foreign Office vehemently denied the existence of any anti-Israeli stance in the UK, stating that it was all about resisting Soviet infiltration into the Middle East, and what, what Syria was in the exercises? That’s because it would be too obvious to exclude Syria, and Britain still can’t afford to irritate the Soviet Union too much.

But then again, the U.S. had time to help Pakistan fight India in the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union didn’t delay expanding its influence in Yemen while aiding Vietnam, and what’s wrong with the U.K. forming a military exercise in the Middle East while it’s facing off against Indonesia in Southeast Asia? Isn’t that normal?

Now the United Kingdom a year in the Middle East to carry out desalination, but also be able to gouge out thirty million pounds of funds it, this is not even counting the oil and food on the import and export.

Taking advantage of this, Alan Wilson and the US Ambassador met again to set out the British position, and Donald this time informed of the US strategy in the Vietnam War, which was in fact to pursue a strategy of attrition, with the aim of inflicting so many casualties on the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese that it would be too late for them to replenish.

“Secretary General, we used a defoliant in Vietnam that worked very well.” Donald was self-satisfied when he spoke of it, the pesky forests of Vietnam were finally no longer a hindrance.

“Oh, that’s wonderful.” Alan Wilson did not move to congratulate, Agent Orange well, this ambassador may not know, this is the cabinet secretary in front of him to give advice, “Oh yes, fell into the sea of hydrogen bombs have been found, or assessment of the danger has been lifted?”

Around the time of the British election, there was an accident involving a U.S. strategic bomber with four hydrogen bombs on board, which had just kissed a refueling tanker when the two overzealous airplanes crashed together with a loud bang.

The impact destroyed one of the bomber’s engines and set the wings on fire. In order to stop the fire from spreading, the pilots decisively threw away the spare fuel tanks and tried to find a place to crash-land, but the “delaying tactics” did not work too well. In a very short time, the fire spread to all parts of the airplane.

The crash of the airplane was only a minor matter, but if the hydrogen bomb was detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable. With no time to think, the pilot had no choice but to drop as many of the four hydrogen bombs as possible over the fishing village. He then pressed the button to eject from the cabin. Almost instantly, the fuel tanks exploded and the two-hundred-ton bomber turned into a fireball that smashed into the ground.

Three of the four hydrogen bombs landed on land all of them were found, the remaining one was searched on land for a long time without being found, and recently the United States was searching for the lost hydrogen bomb in the nearby waters.

Because this was a public accident and was seen by many witnesses, there was no way for the US to hide it. Donald was a bit embarrassed to face Alan Wilson’s inquiry, and stammered out a reply, “There’s an eyeball.”

This is a major event in the UK, although the United States almost nuked Spain has nothing to do with the UK, but under the impetus of the unknown forces, but it caused a wave of discussion in the UK, the result of the discussion is naturally the Americans, especially the American military personnel can not be set up military bases in the country is too much nonsense, fortunately, there is no U.S. military bases in the UK.

“I hope our allies find the missing hydrogen bombs quickly, I heard that Moscow is cynical about it again.” Alan Wilson threw his hands up in relief, “Paris is also concerned about this.”

It turns out that some things are not resistant to recitation, and a few days after Allen Wilson connoted the Americans and was receiving his wife home at the airport on this day, de Gaulle, who had been preparing for this for several years, made a televised speech announcing something in front of all French citizens, “France will withdraw from NATO’s Military Integration System by October, and three months from now the staff of the French Army will be withdrawn from the NATO Command, and American troops and military equipment in France are going to leave France for a period of one year.”

De Gaulle’s firm timetable for NATO’s departure from France caused an uproar in France and in the free world, with repercussions not at all unlike the Vietnam War that was conducted.
