Chapter 1417: A Life-Saver
Sikkim was certainly valuable, especially to India, where the original Siliguri corridor was narrow and poorly connected to the northeastern states of India.
If possible, India definitely wanted to annex Sikkim, but how could Allen Wilson have worked in British India for so many years and forgotten about this place?
This time the Indo-Pakistani war was fought, just happened to run into the Indians do not give face to the United States, so they introduced the United States forces, it is not the turn of a major power to think more, India’s penetration of these countries is certainly easier than a major power, this is the Himalayan mountains decided, not by the will of any country for the transfer.
The introduction of the United States forces, India wants to maintain its influence on the northeastern states, may have to be a little more sincere, after all, Sikkim is likely to become the United States later meddling in India’s internal affairs of the source.
But then, what about the idea of a major power and India? For Sikkim, who can let them survive who is the country’s benefactor, obviously a race of northern neighbors can not do this, a religious system of the southern neighbor is harboring evil, follow the United Kingdom and the United States to go what wrong?
Sikkim, though small in size, was sufficiently self-sufficient compared to its own small population, bearing in mind that prior to the independence of British India, Allen Wilson had expelled the foreign population of Sikkim through Lai Gee Sang.
Even if one wanted to favor Sikkim, it would not be much of a burden, and the sparsely populated Sikkim became extremely valuable, at least compared to its strategic position. From the point of view of a friend, the Cabinet Secretary never receives money for nothing.
This sympathy was expressed among the messages sent back home, and Palden, the king, had earned a great deal by having him as a friend; he had sent his sons over on business, and for that reason had avoided Vivienne for several days.
Monroe smiled and carefully wiped the scratches, causing Allen Wilson to bristle, “What are you smiling about? What’s so funny.”
“I’m not laughing.” Monroe stifled a laugh and vehemently denied the catchy accusation, her eyes had narrowed into a crescent moon.
“You were clearly laughing at me, and it didn’t stop at all.” Alan Wilson slapped the table and muttered in dissatisfaction, “Who am I doing it for, it’s not for the early restoration of peace in South Asia.”
“It’s no wonder Vivian is angry when you let David go to South Asia.” Monroe muttered a small retort, glancing at the man’s face, “I’m glad I didn’t break the skin, or you’d have your hands full.”
“Kids will grow up and sooner or later they’ll have to go out to work. What’s wrong with me working out the kids?” Alan Wilson retorted with an exasperated voice, “It’s all for the child’s future. David will have such a day, besides being able to inherit three TV stations, two of which are still in the colonies, a few land parcels in Xiangjiang, a movie company, some stocks and bonds, and maybe a few tens of millions in cash, what else is there? Isn’t that nothing? Sooner or later it’s still a struggle.”
Monroe’s mouth formed a nice o-shape and tsked, “It really looks like David has no choice but to succeed. My children would surely like to be so destitute.”
“Honey, there will be bread, and there will be milk, it will all be there.” Alan Wilson gently rubbed Monroe’s thigh and confessed, “Actually, I for one don’t have much of a dream, just the hope that my beloved’s dreams will come true, that the world will have a little less suffering, and that’s all there is to it.”
Monroe nodded frequently, aside from being a little more horny, the long pua of supreme authority still worked, she took the man at his word, “I hope the war ends sooner rather than later, it’s bad for everyone.”
“Peace is precious, and every day I exhaust myself for it, if only you could understand me,” Alan Wilson grabbed Monroe’s hand and placed it on his chest as a way of showing how genuine it was, as he grew older, the Supreme Authority’s orthopedic handiwork became more and more popular, and Monroe ate it up.
Professional and skillful manipulation is the necessary medicine to relieve fatigue, and only then can people face difficulties with renewed vigor.
The end of each year is a busy time, foreign friends have driven to London, the supreme authority can not hide anything, must be personally received only.
“My dear, I think warm Perth, must be more comfortable than London.” Alan Wilson clipped the microphone and expressed his greetings to the female president who was far away in Perth.
“Oh!” Pamela Mountbatten meaningfully oohed and ahhed, and would have had to say something about two or three with the princess’s sister-in-law to taunt her lying husband if her youngest son, Arnold, hadn’t been right next to her, “Not a word with the baby?”
“Of course!” Alan Wilson and his son engaged in a conversation about studying well every day, listening to his eldest daughter go off to feed the orcas and his eldest son at Marshal Mountbatten’s, and quickly ended the phone gruel.
The entire conversation was grasped by Anna, who couldn’t help but bristle, “She probably doesn’t know that Hans is your first child and is now on his own, the group is affairs in Iran are handled by him.”
“Compare this to do what?” Alan Wilson bowed his head helplessly to the lechery of the Dragoons, but to put it in perspective, the eldest son, who was really on his own, was still in the Soviet Embassy.
Self-identified as pulling out the top of the small Dragon Rider which knows these crooked around, directly sat in the man’s arms, “Now the domestic discussion, the Eastern policy, that is a good way to solve the problem.”
“Is it a question of the appreciation of the mark? It is merely the value of German manufacturing as it should be.” Alan Wilson signaled a little peace and quiet, and then said, “Germany should stand with Britain and France on this issue, Japan’s currency problem for a long time to get indulgence, but also very unfair, is not it?”
Anyone who knows the name of the Bretton Woods system is still hanging breath is not normal, Britain has been discussed with France about the United States hopes to use Japan and Germany to counterbalance Britain and France, the French side also recognizes that this possibility does exist, and is willing to cooperate with Britain on this issue.
Alan Wilson did not feel in his heart that he could force the United States to put pressure on Japan, though he was more hopeful that Britain and France could take a common position on currency and cover each other’s circulations.
Of course, this kind of triviality, not so much as to become the main body of discussion between the two men, to see Anna he realized that there are really gifted people in this world, our little Dragon Riders as long as a little bit of pride in the chest, it can be seen to be rippling, and the latter day the average of the Russians is d, it seems to have its own reason.
Seeing the British occupying forces committing another crime, Anna couldn’t help but grit her teeth, “There are times when I’d like to just smother you.”
“It’s also a good way to die.” Alan Wilson replied vaguely, all but devoid of his usual eloquence, but full of the compromise of bowing to the forces of evil.
When he went to work in Whitehall the next day, he heard Wick relaying Foreign Secretary Patrick’s pompous anger, and Alan Wilson finally remembered that he was the Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, and went to the Foreign Office to find out what was going on.
Obviously this confrontation in the Bay of Bengal, with the prolongation of time and India’s solid advantage of the land battle, on the outgoing U.S. Navy has become a negative asset, at this moment the U.S. did not reflect on their own just entered the war to let the Axis powers unconditional surrender of a similar act of bankruptcy, but instead is to accuse Britain of turning their backs on the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
In the key moment to show muscle to the Soviet Union, Britain even took the behavior of the United States extremely disappointing, watching from the wall!
Alan Wilson half-listened and asked, “Who said this?” Hearing Kissinger’s name, he nodded.
Although Kissinger was an image of an old fox in his later life, but that was all molded, at least during the Third Indo-Pakistani War, Kissinger’s performance was actually very average.
“Maybe he is afraid that the failure of this standoff will have an impact on the general election?” Alan Wilson gave his guess and then made a personal attack on Kissinger, “And you have the nerve to talk about Britain? Since the U.S. feels it has the upper hand at sea, why wouldn’t it dare to take on the Soviet Red Navy? Oh, now it’s hard to get up and think of the Royal Navy?”
“It’s true that Britain and the United States don’t have the same interests when it comes to South Asian affairs, Britain’s interests are in India.” Alan Wilson frowned, “But? It can be remedied in some details.”
“Sikkim, of course, and the matter is in my hands. My minister.” Hearing Patrick’s inquiry, Alan Wilson directly agreed, he had long been prepared, is not just wanting the UK to overdo some of its traditional sphere of influence, give it to you, otherwise his son will not go to Sikkim for nothing?
In front of the Indian army’s powerful offensive, the Pakistani army, although also in the front battle of Ratpur, Khulna defense, Kushtira counterattack, the Debar River defense and other local battles to delay the Indian army’s footsteps, to the enemy to inflict heavy casualties, but on the whole ultimately unable to reverse the overall situation.
From the beginning of the Indo-Pakistani war to the present, the time has passed more than a month, in addition to the beginning of the western front of the main direction of attack is not smooth, and later also re-entered the rhythm of the attack, in general India is still step by step to achieve the strategic objectives. Indian troops in three directions have formed a closed circle around Dhaka, the focus of defense for the Pakistani defenders.
The Indian army from the east, west and north three directions to complete the siege of Dhaka, the sea and air force from the sea and air to implement a tight blockade, completely cut off Dhaka and all external links.
Seeing the Soviet-backed Indian army has been victorious, and the world’s number one navy is currently in the Bay of Bengal and the Red Navy wide-eyed, properly a role in the existence of the fleet.
The Americans are certainly anxious, India to obtain complete victory, the United States from just formed the task force can not wait to proclaim out behavior, will only become a laughing stock.
So Allen Wilson decided to take a calm perspective, replying to Washington’s wall-to-wall response to the Royal Navy, “The imperative now is to find an excuse to get out of the Bay of Bengal.”
Of course, this was merely a euphemism to get the US to concede the point, and the fact is that even if the US fleet had stayed in the Bay of Bengal it would not have changed anything, unless the Pakistani defenders in Dacca had been dead in the water for six months, and by the time spring rolled around a major power could have met up with them to move south.
This is obviously impossible unless the Pakistani garrison learns from Zhang Patrol to use the Bengalis in Dhaka as rations.
“When Bengal is occupied, it is the best time to make the U.S. pay attention to Sikkim, a lifesaver that the U.S. will have to take without it. This is a step to save face, and although the United States gets less, it always gets it.” David, the good oldest son, who was in Sikkim, received at this time the latest instructions from his father, who had decided to win the war.
