Chapter 1454 – Alibi

Whose idea was this? It was almost like a hero’s idea, Castro really wanted to drink and cook with this unseen comrade.

Involving hundreds of thousands of people’s operation, Castro showed unprecedented importance, for this reason specifically found his own brother to promote this matter, which has to be properly planned.

Deep in the middle of the Watergate scandal Nixon, did not realize that under his own nose, will give the United States a ruthless.

In fact, who is to blame? The U.S. pursued a policy of total containment in the Americas, and whether it was the Cold War or post-Cold War, the U.S. had countless opportunities to fundamentally dismantle the Cuban threat.

There were many different ways to do this, and with the power of the United States, it was entirely possible to do it. I wonder if the United States had to use Cuba as a negative example, so it maintained an attitude of not caring about it.

Similarly, did not set up a benchmark country in the Americas, if the United States set up a benchmark country, proving that following the United States can exceed the standard of living in Cuba, Cuba in the United States’ backyard will not persist for such a long time, but obviously the United States did not do so, pro-American and anti-American in Latin America in a standard of living, that pro- or non-pro-United States is also unimportant.

Look at Haiti around Cuba, famously lousy, and the Dominican Republic is not fundamentally different, and the Cubans can certainly puff out their chests with pride and continue to fight the United States.

In the final analysis, the Americas have no unity value in the eyes of the United States, even if the Soviet Union’s influence is present in Cuba, the United States will not change to turn Latin America into an immortal cesspool of the initial intention.

And then look at the united front value of the country, China and the Soviet Union next to the country, the United States will do their best to support, even if it is really support is not up, but also in diplomacy to give sufficient sense of presence.

Latin America is not and this treatment, the standard of living in Latin American countries has only room to go down, no room to go up.

Alan Wilson to a certain extent to Allende’s plight leaked to the Soviet Union, in the world pattern of the macro level is completely a good thing, maybe the United States will pay attention to Latin American countries, of course this opportunity is not very big, the Americas if there is really a country that can be able to speak loudly to the United States, the United States is worse than dead.

To say that the United States just like to light a fire in places far away from home, in a sense, is also a slur on the United States, the United States has never been a pile of cesspools under the butt, it should be said that the United States is the use of Latin American countries on the mature experience, extended to the whole world.

It doesn’t matter if there is a shithole under one’s ass, let the other opponents also have a shithole next to them, and the problem will be solved, won’t it?

As for the originator, is deep in London side, continue their own and the Indian government’s mouth, obviously a nationalization of the matter, in the past the UK will not care, but India in the United Kingdom since the flow, and Whitehall did not want to immediately put the matter to resolve the meaning.

The calm before the storm, of course the pillars of the country are looking for something to do, it is precisely because the nationalization of India is essentially unimportant that Whitehall is clinging to it, and does not expect the issue to be resolved, the loss of British business can be recovered, clinging to it has nothing to do with the loss of British business, it is just Whitehall proving that it exists and there is little risk.

British citizens who were attracted to the attention of the British citizens, do not know that they imagine a busy Whitehall, should be drinking afternoon tea and afternoon tea, not in the slightest imagination and India to fight everyone tense.

“Those voters with granite inside their heads know nothing. They only know how to vent their anger, but diplomacy is like that, let them do diplomacy, they dare to declare war on the Soviet Union?” The Supreme Authority crossed his legs and scoffed at the heat of public opinion, “The expansion of democratic elections in recent times has been the root cause of the country’s decline, although on some occasions we have sung the praises of the greatness of this change ……”

John Hunt shook his head imperceptibly, “Alan, thankfully this is a very private occasion and no one will know what you’ve just said.”

“Someone will know.” Alan Wilson equivocated, the supreme authority was actually one Watergate scandal away, his office had the same surveillance system, only it wasn’t turned on right now.

Moreover, no one else knew about it, and the modifications were made by the richest woman herself, others only knew that the Cabinet Secretary’s office had been renovated once.

“The thing that was really done, surely we can’t let them know.” John Hunt of course knows that the thing that Britain really took too long in diplomacy is the yen issue with Japan, and even the Arab League meeting that is about to be held will have to be put on the back burner, “I didn’t realize that the yen issue was so tough.”

“Tough as well, the yen isn’t that valuable, on what grounds? That’s the spare tire for the dollar.”

Alan Wilson grunted softly, “Japan, a country with nothing, even the second largest island was occupied by the Soviet Union? What’s there to support the yen’s exchange rate? One Soviet maneuver in Hokkaido and all of Japan is going to shit their pants, just by virtue of Japan’s industrial strength? Even developed countries have grades, Japan is obviously the kind of developed country that is just starting out, twelve hours of no rest all year round is close to the income of eight hours with double rest on this side of Europe.”

Of course the supreme authority still expresses praise for Japan’s industrial capacity, which is the only place worthy of praise, the industrial country’s crush on the agricultural country still exists, you can’t be the most cutting-edge, but you have to be there, or else you’ll be stuck in the neck.

For example, a certain Five Hundred, a large country sells for forty-five thousand, in Chile for seventy thousand, in Peru for sixty-nine thousand, in Mexico for eighty thousand.

The less there is of this industry, the more expensive it sells; Malayan cars sell for less in the UK than they do in SE Asia, even though SE Asia is poorer. The same goes for Portugal’s pickup truck line.

“We’re also an island nation, and if the US puts its view of the yen on the pound?” John Hunt, with a question, had made his point clear.

“Well at least we have the second largest navy in the world, especially now, the U.S. Navy was seven million seven hundred thousand tons of tonnage two years ago, this year it is five million seven hundred thousand tons.”

Allen Wilson said to his old friend, “And that’s just the beginning, in less than five years the U.S. Navy tonnage will drop to four million. In six or seven years the size of the navy will have shrunk by half. Right now the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy are on the same starting line.”

The capacity of the United States burst out during the Second World War, after thirty years, until now it is the time to focus on retirement, although the United States to build ships has not been stopped, but from the seven million seven hundred thousand tons in 1970 fell to five million seven hundred thousand tons, it is known that this time the tide of retirement to come how strong.

U.S. shipbuilding, even if it is immensely powerful, it is impossible to make up the gap of 500,000 to 600,000 tons of warships retired in a year, not to mention that U.S. civilian shipbuilding is about equal to nothing.

Alan Wilson predicted that the U.S. Navy must have worked harder than the history in his head, because the Royal Navy had not declined to the point of indifference. But? The effort was a drop in the bucket, and this wave of retirements was so violent that it was not in the least bit better than the one that happened to coincide with that of a certain great power, and it was more than enough.

One consequence of this will be that the US Navy, facing the Soviet Red Navy, will of course still be at an overwhelming advantage if it has the help of the Royal Navy. If the U.S. Navy were to go up against the Soviet Red Navy alone, there is no guarantee that it would be able to get out of there in one piece.

At the end of the Cold War, if you just compare tonnage, without taking into account how many carrier battle groups the Red Navy’s anti-ship missiles could replace, the US Navy had only a fraction more tonnage than the Soviet Red Navy. In other words, if the Royal Navy and the Red Navy were on the same page, it was the USN that was at a disadvantage.

So Alan Wilson now felt that Britain was full of unifying values, and it was not too much to ask that the yen, which was not supposed to have much of a role, should not be put on the stage of history.

Just as President Nixon and the judiciary, around the issue of whether to hand over the tapes game, time has come to August, Allen Wilson’s side of the problem facing the Soviet military exercises in Hokkaido, of course, this is second-hand information from Washington, after the Cabinet of sensible judgment, the United Kingdom has made a decision, “by virtue of the United States Navy’s strong strength , it is enough to deter the Soviet Union from making any rash moves.”

Washington quickly sent a reply, “In the perspective of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, it is logical that Britain should send a combat-rich core force to stand with the United States against the Soviet Union in a resolute retaliation. If the Royal Navy visited Yokosuka at this time, the Soviet Union would be able to feel the unbreakable friendship between the two countries.”

This inspired the walking Anglo-American special relationship, which Alan Wilson was to defend staunchly, stating bitterly before Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Secretary of State for Defense Denis Healey, “The Queen Victoria class aircraft carriers of the Mediterranean Fleet should be sent, to the Far East.”

“Alan, we all know you have deep personal relationships with many people in the United States.” Harold Wilson came close to looking at the Cabinet Secretary with a look of reliability.

“Prime Minister, personal relationships are personal relationships, and I have never been a staunch defender of British interests.” Alan Wilson had a resigned look on his face, “It’s just that I feel that answering America’s call is good for Britain.”

“What benefits?” The corners of Defense Secretary Denis Healey’s mouth twitched, eager to hear exactly what the benefits were.

Of course it was having an alibi for fighting a war in the Middle East, but that wasn’t easy to say, Alan Wilson mused, “I can’t deny that the United States, now in the midst of a de facto defeat in the Vietnam War, is in great need of an ally for encouragement.”
