Chapter 1322 – Instructing Nyerere
“But something big has happened today?” Pamela Mountbatten had just arrived home and learned of this great event that could be considered an earthquake in the free world.
“That’s not a big deal, my love returning home is a big deal.” Alan Wilson put down his wife’s luggage and opened his mouth to give a PUA, which made the female president confused where she was.
“Just know to say nice things, the child is still there.” Pamela Mountbatten glanced at a couple of greatly shaken sons and daughters and pursed her lips in reminder.
Having just arrived home, it was clearly a time for feelings to rise, and if it hadn’t been for a rather frowned upon phone call from Ten Downing Street, it would have been a wonderful day. Pamela Mountbatten watched her husband answer the phone, her eyes softening as she spoke, “Go on, who made you still the permanent undersecretary of the Foreign Office, come back from work and I’ll make you something nice to eat.”
“It’s good news.” Alan Wilson’s face was full of anticipation, picked up his briefcase and walked to the door, “And don’t work too hard, only just got back.”
Prime Minister Harold Wilson is on France’s withdrawal from NATO, held a cabinet meeting, Secretary of State and Economic Affairs Secretary George Brown; Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker; Defense Secretary Denis Healey; Treasury Secretary James Callaghan are all present, the analysis of the natural cause and effect.
The Secretary General of the Cabinet, who is not a Cabinet Minister, Alan Wilson could not attend this meeting, but was only called in on an ad hoc basis, and waited until the Prime Minister inquired before he replied, “It was probably the four hydrogen bombs that caused France to make the painful decision to do what it did.”
Alan Wilson was referring to the Spanish crash two months ago, now the whole of Europe knew that it was a bomber and a refueling plane that collided, and the American pilots dropped the hydrogen bombs they were carrying on the Spanish town to save their lives, and the Americans had always kept their mouths shut on the matter of the crash, and for such a long time they had eased up on the ban and allowed the Spanish to farm on land that had been contaminated by the nuclear contamination.
The fourth hydrogen bomb has not been able to find, the Americans suspected that is not the magical KGB took away, through the initiative of the Americans to ask, the Soviets simulated the conclusion, and immediately made their own conclusions to the public.
This is what made Allen Wilson remember, history did appear this matter, the Soviets just guessed that the United States in Spain’s nuclear material leakage, but he knew that it was the United States almost gave Spain a simulated nuclear explosion, this matter in the Soviet voice under the cover of the public.
The news of the crash over Spain, which led to the near nuclear leveling of Spain, also spread throughout the countries of Europe. This suspicion was fueled by the fact that the U.S. chose not to say anything.
It was only after the local population had been kept in their homes by the Americans for over two months and had gone off to farm at the crash site in a news blackout that they received word from the outside world that Spain had nearly been nuked by the Big Brother of the Free World.
In retrospect, the most heated discussions were half a month ago, and it’s a bit of a stretch to link this to France’s withdrawal from NATO, but that’s what Alan Wilson surmised, and what could anyone do to him? The falling hydrogen bomb didn’t blow up, and if it did, who knows where it would have ended up?
“The two things aren’t necessarily connected, are they?” Defense Minister Denis Healey frowned at the falling hydrogen bomb in the United States, but it was still a long way from France.
“Perhaps the French thought that the hydrogen bombs were in defense of France.” Alan Wilson shrugged, “It’s true that France hasn’t pleased the United States very much these past few years, and the French understand that.”
“The concealment of the collider incident by the United States, which was also first disclosed by the Soviets, did have a bad effect, but whether it was the cause of France’s withdrawal from NATO, we can’t conclude yet.” Harold Wilson muttered slowly, “But it does make everyone passive, can we get de Gaulle to come around.”
Several of the cabinet ministers were not confident, and when the Prime Minister’s eyes eventually fell on Alan Wilson, he too replied dryly, “No. De Gaulle has been trying to drive out the American troops at home for not a day or two now, and by taking advantage of this loss of the hydrogen bombs, he won’t be able to come around, in fact?”
“Actually what?” Harold Wilson saw that the Cabinet Secretary was about to say something, so he could only open his mouth to urge, “Alan, you can just say what you have to say.”
“If we predict that the French will not compromise, then the next problem arises, the nuclear weapons that the United States has placed in France will have to be withdrawn, and definitely placed in a country.” Allen Wilson said this bringing up a possibility, “Would Washington want to take the nuclear weapons that were withdrawn and put them in Britain?”
“That’s impossible!” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, several cabinet ministers bickered and said that there was absolutely no way they would agree to that, British citizens were discussing the Americans dropping the hydrogen bomb half a month ago, and then the UK agrees to the Americans putting the nuclear weapons that were withdrawn from France in the UK? Unless they all didn’t want to hang around in the political arena, they would never agree to it.
“I’m just bringing up a hypothetical question.” Alan Wilson immediately stated that it was only hypothetical, and he naturally asked it on purpose to see what everyone’s attitude would be if this kind of thing really came out.
“Gordon, we still have to fight for France and prepare to visit Paris.” Harold Wilson finally decided to make a trip to Paris after wooing de Gaulle to get the foreign minister to make a trip to Paris. Being able to keep France in NATO would be a huge benefit to the entire free world.
Alan Wilson sang the praises of the Prime Minister’s foresight straight away, but in his heart he was not convinced that France was a nation with a strong sense of national pride.
France has a proud and glorious history, and in the eyes of the French the France of the age of Louis XIV is as much a peak in human history as Greece in the age of Berkeley, Rome in the age of Augustus, and Italy in the Renaissance.
The French look at the Americans as a fallen old aristocrat looks at a thug: France is a great country with a glorious history, and even the American War of Independence was won with the support of France.
Nowadays, the first NATO power is the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, and France is the equivalent of the Sakuragi army except for Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei, etc…….
De Gaulle involved in the European integration even included the Soviet Union, the French eyes of the Soviet Union has always been part of Europe, which can be and many European countries Schrödinger’s eyes of the Soviet Union is not the same thing.
This time the hydrogen bomb fell, may really have to do with de Gaulle’s determination to withdraw from NATO, but certainly is an in the appropriate excuse, out of a foreign minister, certainly can not be persuaded to come back, history did not persuade to come back, and now estimated to be difficult enough.
After returning home, Pamela Mountbatten has changed into home clothes, make a good meal waiting for her husband to come back, listened to Alan Wilson’s account, “The French are really difficult to handle it.”
“Of course, they despise us as much as we despise them.” Allen Wilson replied vaguely, but didn’t stop his dry-rice manoeuvres, “The Franco-Russian alliance is a historical one, and to be honest, it’s precisely us who want Europe to get close the least, and neither the Germans nor the French have a deep grudge against the Soviet Union.”
France, in addition to the Napoleonic period, and Imperial Russia fought, the rest of the time well water, on the contrary, in the containment of Germany, France looked up to Imperial Russia for a long time.
As for Germany it seems to have been OK with the Slavs except for the period when the Führer thought he had the advantage over me.
But Britain is different, once Europe its happy, Britain an island country is completely out of the game, so the Cold War pattern is not a bad thing for Britain.
“The Soviet Union was so powerful that the French dared to approach.” Pamela Mountbatten shook her head in disbelief, “Can’t the French recognize the danger?”
“It’s true that the Soviet Union is too strong, but it’s not good to be too weak.” Alan Wilson had seen the weakest Russia in history, just a few decades later. In his opinion too weak Russia is not good either, just like a certain big country now, which has nothing anyway, so what can it do to fight against the United States?
Evaluated the three periods of the Slavs, Allen Wilson still thinks that the period of Imperial Russia, is considered to be an acceptable time, not like the Soviet Union so strong, and not like decades later, Russia is so weak.
Of course Allen Wilson also does not think that the so-called weakest in history is the strength of Russia, the reason why Russia fell into that field, one because it is the defeated country of the Cold War, the victor is naturally the United States.
In the unipolar world, the equivalent of a defeated Russia, in fact, there is no place, research and development is not needed, production is not needed, even as a sweatshop there is no place for Russia.
And in the process of turning Russia into a provider of raw materials, there is a country whose role is very important is Germany, the Germans use the European Union to expand eastward, soft knife killing power is not smaller than NATO’s eastward expansion, and even more harmful to Russia. Because the European Union itself is equivalent to Germany’s economic colonies in later times, especially in Eastern Europe.
Germany itself in the EU within the defeat of a country’s industry, began to dominate the EU’s next round of expansion, in order to prevent Russia to rebound on the use of energy to bind Russia. But essentially what was taken was Russia’s original market, and Germany deserves a lot of the credit for Russia’s industrial decline due to the Golden Dollar Offensive.
If not for Germany itself is a defeated country, there are still many British and American troops, this defeated country has long been out of control, may also bite the British and Americans.
Ancient and modern warfare, the pig’s tactics have been successfully used again and again for the people, in case of attack, the buttocks will be snuggled up against the wall, so that you can not catch the tail, and finally it can not be helped, or perhaps sharp teeth to give you a bite, biting on it, it was the Germans in the economic level is very well used.
“I heard something, it can’t be true, right? Nyerere visiting East Asia? He’s not independent yet.” Pamela Mountbatten inquired of her man if this was true.
“I told him to go.” Alan Wilson admitted dryly, “That East African colony will be independent soon, next year at the most.”
“Can you give an explanation, dear?” Pamela Mountbatten was a little puzzled, “That country is the one that is now supporting North Vietnam against the Americans.”
“There’s a railroad Nyerere wants to build, but we can’t help, it’s too difficult too much investment.” Alan Wilson replied flatly, “I’ll let him take his chances.”
