Chapter 1442 – Rockefeller’s Victory
“Could it be that the U.S. Army is for show?” Alexeyev couldn’t believe it, Alan Wilson’s words seemed as if the American army didn’t exist.
“The Vietnam War has already hit the United States hard, only it’s not quite visible yet, it can be analyzed from a small thing, Nixon has already changed the conscription that the United States has been practicing to recruitment. Don’t underestimate this change, in the most basic sense, it shows that the United States has extinguished the pursuit of war among its citizens because of this one war.”
The change from conscription to enlistment was the change made during the Nixon era, the main difference between enlistment and conscription is the different nature of enlistment, enlistment is the state recruiting soldiers in the form of paying out money to hire them, while conscription is the state requiring citizens to serve in the military compulsorily according to their obligations, which is very different from each other.
Conscription is a double-edged sword that cuts down foreign enemies on one side and calms down internal strife on the other, without triggering war-weariness in the country; after all, the people who come to join the army mainly want to come to join the army and do so for the sake of money, and at the same time it creates a special class that is separate from the general public.
It is certain to favor the Pentagon that these soldiers, who recognize money and not people, will become part of the military-industrial complex.
The foreseeable future, the United States will embark on the road of money to pile up combat power, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Washington’s order, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with patriotism directly to the front line to fight for a decade or eight years, this kind of thing will be difficult to happen in the future.
Not that conscription is necessarily better than conscription, but when it comes to ground war, it is true that a huge ground force is needed to maintain the battle line, or run into the Iron King’s lack of troops to have combat power also can not be played out, Alan Wilson sat down again and talked about Israel’s fundamental weaknesses, even if it is mobilized the system is highly efficient, but also can not cope with a full-scale war.
Expecting Israel to go south to Egypt, north to Syria, east to Jordan at the same time that is impossible, Israel will only choose a direction to concentrate their forces, the other two lines to respond to a defensive posture is inevitable.
Two hundred thousand Russian troops can’t swallow Ukraine, as long as don’t wipe out a stream of Arab armies in the first phase, Israel is also not capable of sustained offense.
If Israel had India’s potentially mobilized forces when he didn’t, but everyone knows Israel doesn’t, and for years the UK has been responding around a rearguard strategy. Israel might start the war with air strikes on Egypt and Jordan, then put major air support in Iraq, where the Iraqi royal family and Jordan are family, and if something happens in Jordan Iraq will go to war.
In Egypt, the air force to France, arming the Egyptian navy and army, the British traditional friendly relations are turned into a specialization of the force, this specialization of the force once the combination before the outbreak of combat power. In a sense it also contributed to the unity of the traditional pro-British countries in the Middle East. One country can not fight, then carry out a combination of multiple countries.
It is not that Britain does not believe in the combat power of the Arab countries, in fact, it is not, if the traditional support, select the most populous countries to smash the resources on it, Israel suddenly attacked, directly to the country, for example, is the Egyptian defeat, the other countries even more than Israel’s rivals.
And decentralized support, in line with the traditional field of British diplomacy to weed out the strong and support the weak, your air force is strong, my navy is strong, the other army is strong, usually one does not obey one, but then there is Israel, the big enemy outside. The Jordanian and Iraqi royal families are one and the same, and Egypt does not border either country, and will not start the internal squeeze.
As for whether the effect is good or not, it has not been fought yet, who knows what the effect is, rising again, Alan Wilson reminded for the second time, “Beware of the Golan Heights, because of the presence of Syria, the Golan Heights may be the main direction of Israel’s attack, and if it is true, pouring aid into letting Syria drag Israel into a war of attrition.”
History is actually very cruel, the Middle East War Israel’s successive victories will naturally be greeted with a full and multi-faceted bragging rights. But if the result is not as expected, maybe it will usher in a bad situation instead.
Wanli Emperor had three major conquests, Salhu is actually also a war during the Wanli period, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen two years before the Tumu Fortress, but also in the Southwest Tusi on the body to try a hand, and by the way to suppress the Southeast Absentee Worker’s Uprising, who knows that the Salhu and the Tumu Fortress is just so unanticipated?
“Well then, may you continue to serve your country well.” Raising his wrist, Allen Wilson ended the mulligan, hoping that the good Dahl would leave his mark on the international situation.
He wondered if he should say something about taking good care of Foltseva, but on second thought, he didn’t seem to be in a position to say anything about that, so he could only leave unhappy.
“Go see Garbo sometime.” Alan Wilson hand in his pants pocket, thinking about it, sit down and talk or not, can not be old and do not take care of, this is not his person.
The Soviet Union on this food procurement, can be described as a full effort, in addition to contact with the United Kingdom, the United States did not delay at all.
While announcing that this was the biggest harvest year for the USSR in twenty years, the operation on the US had already begun, and the procurement of grain from the UK was also part of the plan. Satellite images reported by U.S. intelligence showed the Soviet Union’s grain-producing regions to be “covered with fields of golden wheat”. Soviet wheat varieties were small with large spikes, most of the grains were hollow, the actual yield was not high, but the aura was strong.
Soviet wheat are heavily Soviet in style, just as the hairy girl d per capita, but will not then breastfeeding field is superior, if this example is not too apt, the supreme authority can also change another example.
Convinced that the Soviet Union was going to have a bumper grain harvest, grain merchants across the United States began to sell off their hoards, and the Soviet Union secretly encouraged commercial firms such as the Continental Grain Company to lobby the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In addition, the Soviet Union secretly sent buyers, but also at the price of feed grains in batches to buy away a large number of U.S. grain.
The White House, which was kept in the dark, also announced that the United States had agreed to make available at any time a loan of five hundred million dollars for the exclusive use of the Soviet Union, and that the Soviet Union would be able to purchase seven and a half billion dollars’ worth of grain over the next three years.
The United States was caught off guard for a time is understandable, after all, the most important thing is the current U.S. elections, Nixon and Rockefeller combination can not succeed, did not come to the day of the election are not sure.
At this time Alan Wilson, is experiencing a superior treatment, mainly to promote Anglo-German friendship and unity, in feeding the offspring on the hairy sister will not be superior, but in his case can be completely.
Little children that can’t be, he’s different, a calm judgment carried out entirely after careful consideration.
Instructing the good ole boy how to operate in Latin America is a thing of the past, and at this point Alan Wilson is once again the tiny secretary-general who has worked his ass off for Britain.
Under the firm opposition of Britain, on the grounds that Germany’s energy pipeline on land is easy to be taken advantage of by the Eastern European countries, but may cost Germany, the Soviet Union had to agree to a new oil and gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea to share the risk of energy in Western Europe, to defuse the fears of the Western European countries.
Britain’s staunch opposition was also on the one hand a way of proving to the United States that Britain had already done everything it could possibly do in the realm of defending Europe, which was true, and that letting this one oil and gas pipeline go by sea would give a little peace of mind to NATO, which had superior sea power.
It is for the very reason that BP is making a fuss out of it that Bogina and Anna have come to London this time around, enjoying the supreme authority of attentive service and making decisions that are not difficult in terms of national and personal interests, “The UK has not been opposed to this oil and gas pipeline from the beginning to the end. In fact we are talking to Norway about co-financing an oil and gas pipeline to Germany. Opposing it is merely asking the Soviet Union for a price.”
Germany has a petrochemical industry, and it’s pretty strong, though it doesn’t control the energy source, which is why in later years Germany has been brokering the Iranian issue. But obviously, anyone who’s anyone knows what the outcome is.
“Then you guys made such a big deal out of it that it made Germany think that Britain was going to do something.” Anna’s eyes rippled with light, exasperatedly making accusations against the Supreme Authority.
“Creating cards out of thin air well, imperialist countries are like that.” Alan Wilson responded in a salty manner, not thinking that there was anything wrong with it.
Giving the two sisters a piece of mind, Alan Wilson completed this negotiation, “In the winter Pamela will return to Perth, at that time we will have an in-depth exchange.”
A few days later, the nineteen seventy-two U.S. election kicked off, although after the Watergate scandal, but Nixon this time is said to be a great victory, and Rockefeller’s partner, he achieved a rare victory. With the united support of the Republican Party, Nixon won forty-nine states by five hundred and twenty votes to seventeen. Undisputed, he opened a second term in office.
“The Rockefeller Republicans, the biggest winners this time.” When the results of the election came in, Allen Wilson, who was being a model husband here at Pamela Mountbatten, then expressed his opinion of this election.
“Nixon is the president, the vice president of the United States is the poser.” Pamela Mountbatten reminded her husband that this was still a topic he himself had once spoken about.
“Oh, the Rockefellers may be posers, but the Rockefeller Republicans are not. They are a very powerful force in the Republican Party.”
Allen Wilson said with a slight pause, “Rockefeller might thank me for that, after all, a victory of this magnitude is something he’s never enjoyed before.”
Rockefeller Republicans is a term of endearment, in fact it was not established by Rockefeller, the founder of this faction was Dewey, whom Chang Gong had high hopes. As for Nixon’s political spectrum, it was actually the conservative wing of the Republican Party with Taft as its leader.
The Rockefeller Republicans were on some levels the heirs of Hamiltonianism, such as the untrustworthiness of the populace, the tyranny of the majority, small government, and so on.
The supporters of the Rockefeller Republicans were urban Republicans, and the latter-day Republican Party was propped up by rural Republican supporters.
