Chapter 1479 – Victory of the Red Navy

“Secretary General, the UN’s resolution on the latest Middle East war, and the stance of the Israeli and Arab sides.”

Seventy Whitehall, London, Alan Wilson had just gone to work, Wick was already waiting here in the Cabinet Secretary’s office, and immediately reported the latest situation when he saw his top boss appear.

“What’s the situation on the Governor’s side.” Allen Wilson opened his mouth to interpret, what is called not according to the set of cards, the Middle East war? In his case it was already the last hotspot.

“Of course there’s news.” Wick, on the other hand, showed that he had been sick for a long time and understood very well what his top boss was, and similarly took out the records of McLehose’s trip to Japan.

“Nothing much, have a seat together.” Alan Wilson pushed the door, with a satisfied smile issued an invitation, but also to make some orders, Japan, this country, this nation’s politicians are rarely appear fierce statement, or good at camouflage, but Alan Wilson believes that democratically elected countries can not be done tightly.

This is the system of democratic election from the middle of the mother’s womb fault, can not be avoided.

So take Wick brought the documents flipping at the same time, Allen Wilson one heart to make the command, “keep an eye on Japan’s ruling party, the opposition party, business representatives, including the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations is with the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Economic Friends of any of their positions, as long as there is a strong opinion on the Arab expression. I want that stance to immediately spread throughout the Arab world.”

“I know, I’m just a little confused.” Wick opened his mouth, somewhat perplexed, “Japan is part of the free world, too, isn’t it.”

“And a competitor to British industry. In fact German and Japanese and British industries overlap extremely.” Alan Wilson replied with an expressionless face, “God forbid, this time Japan is also on the embargo list, we must take advantage of this opportunity, and if Japan is able to experience a recession, the responsibility is the Arab League’s. If we do it again in the future, we may not even be able to find such a good opportunity.”

The so-called world chaos situation is good, or chaos is the ladder can be, this is the United Kingdom waited for how long can not wait for the opportunity, even if the recession for a year is good, can let the United Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief.

“We take the opportunity to break the legs of our competitors, not to show that our own economy is good?” Alan Wilson smirked, “It’s time for Japan to let its overheated economy cool down as well, or else it’s prone to economic crises, which is good for everyone.”

McLehose was still miles away, talking to the Japanese about what new era of Anglo-Japanese alliance, on this side Allen Wilson was already thinking, how to pull Japan into the vortex.

What the situation of the war in the Middle East, what the United States and the Soviet Union Mediterranean confrontation, on television that is very important, but in his this, and the United Kingdom to form a high degree of industrial overlap in Japan will be how, can not fall a heel that is important.

At the same time that he is planning a bright future for his country, the Arab League is also in the European side of the flag after the victory, the pride of the eyes to the East.

King Faisal of Saudi Arabia relayed a message that if Japan did not declare its support for the Arabs within this week, before the next meeting of the Arab League, its oil supply would be cut off.

Just to be on the safe side, King Faisal also had Sheikh Yamani, the head of the oil department, who had just returned from Vienna, make a public statement specifically targeting Japan. The date of the meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was only three days away.

Sheikh Yamani declared: “Japan should define its own policy. If it, like most of the countries of the European Community, does not want to see a further reduction in oil supplies in December, then it should act publicly to show that it is a friend of the Arab cause and should declare its support for it.”

And the news that was being brushed off in Japan at this time was that it was the United States and the Soviet Union, who had recognized the UN meeting in which Egypt and Jordan had expressed their understanding of the cease-fire proposition.

The British ambassador to the United States waited anxiously for Rockefeller’s summons and was relieved when Rockefeller’s clerk appeared.

Britain had used all its current diplomatic energies and certainly could not spare Rockefeller, who had the best hope of becoming President of the United States after Nixon, and if the United States said a word, Japan would fall into the trap.

“Britain has done its best to cooperate with the dilution of the American overissuance, but in terms of capacity, Japan is also a big player in today’s international community, and it is the only way the dollar will get over the hump quickly.”

Rockefeller two people talked for a long time, have to say that he partially recognized the British view, although this former Sunset Empire escaped this oil embargo, but the current situation can still see.

Nonsense, can not see not and other countries together with the oil embargo? Rockefeller sighed, the old imperialist vision is still there, can only slowly think of ways to deal with, “the United States of course support Japan’s firm position in the face of insolent blackmail.”

“Britain wants to work with the United States to recover from the aftermath of the Vietnam War and to work together to deal with the threat to the free world. As Prime Minister Churchill said, Britain and America rule the world together.”

“In fact Britain understands very well that only the United States, has the ability to control the price of oil, and Britain wants to be able to stand with the United States at all times.”

Having gotten the news from the U.S., Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka called a meeting of senators, and Takeshi Miki, a member of parliament who graduated from the University of Southern California, strongly supported in the Senate the national policy that Japan should stand with the U.S. “Japan’s prosperity is based on economic ties with the U.S., and no matter what occurs, Japan should not deviate from this principle. I hope that the Prime Minister will take note of this with regard to the war between the Arabs and Israel, which has nothing to do with Japan.”

The scene that took place in the Japanese Senate soon reached the Middle East without any obstacle, and the Emir of Kuwait, Sabah III, immediately expressed his displeasure with Japan, “Then let Japan enjoy the treatment of Holland; we have nothing more to talk about with the Japanese.”

In this way, Japan became the second country to be targeted by the Arab League after the Netherlands, than Japan South Korean President Park Chung-hee, firmly resisting pressure from all sides, made a statement on behalf of South Korea’s desire for understanding with the Arab world, “ready to support their policies at the United Nations, to provide special assistance to the Palestinians, and to engage in direct economic and technical cooperation.”

“From now on, this Middle East war has no meaning for us.” Alan Wilson walked to the Foreign Office to express his gratitude to all his colleagues, “Everyone has made their contribution and worked so hard to safeguard Britain’s interests during this difficult time. The result is also satisfactory to British citizens and everyone’s hard work has not been in vain. With a little bit of luck and an unwavering departure from the idea added to the result.”

Wick of course knew that his top man was referring to Japan being taken as a typical example by the Arab League, “Secretary General, Japan’s reaction has indeed been the greatest good for Britain;.”

“That kind of country with no balls, just bully them, don’t worry about any consequences, there won’t be any consequences.”

Alan Wilson spoke expressionlessly, “This world should speak English rule, the Soviet Union is part of Europe after all, and the Soviet Union is not to be messed with, as for the other civilizations, they wouldn’t dare to confront us even if they were scared to death. Don’t care what they think.”

The fact that the Arab League has already put out the word that they can talk shows that this Middle East war has also appeared to be coming to an end, and now it’s up to the U.S.-Soviet Mediterranean standoff, which has already baked up the atmosphere, to see what comes out of it.

This face-to-face showdown continues, since the beginning of the war, the ratio of the number of U.S. and Soviet naval ships in the Mediterranean Sea is forty-eight to fifty-seven. The U.S. fleet consisted of the flagship USS Little Rock and four nuclear attack submarines deployed south of Crete, Task Force 60 (consisting of the carriers USS Independence and USS Roosevelt), and Task Force 60 (consisting of the carriers USS Roosevelt and USS Independence). (consisting of the carriers Independence and Roosevelt) and the 61st Amphibious Task Force.

The Soviet Fifth Fleet had eleven submarines, cruisers, and destroyers, as well as a group of medium-sized landing craft, minesweepers, frigates, and auxiliary ships.

At this point in time, the Fifth Fleet’s strength was rapidly increasing also due to the special political situation created by the Middle East crisis.

With the prolongation of the war, the number of warships on both sides naturally increased, and the Soviet Navy’s battle groups were following the carriers Independence and Roosevelt. The latter two were in a very bad position. Because Washington wanted the task force to be as close to the war zone as possible to demonstrate the political position of the United States, the carrier groups had very limited room for maneuver.

Up to now, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea has gathered 95 warships and submarines, plus the U.S. Navy’s three carrier battle groups, but one million square kilometers of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, stacked with the world’s two strongest countries more than 160 searches of various types of ships, the scale has far exceeded the confrontation in the Bay of Bengal.

This confrontation is like two behemoths sitting in a pond, face to face in the most unsuitable place for naval warfare, to carry out a confrontation that has absolutely no precedent.

At this time, since Israel has agreed to the United Nations ceasefire program, the United States is naturally not willing to be in this kind of uncomfortable battlefield environment, stifling and the Soviets wide-eyed.

Eventually Washington issued an order for the U.S. Navy to withdraw from the area. From a tactical point of view, this U.S. decision provided maneuvering space for the fleet and made it more difficult for Soviet warships to attack.

Strategically, however, it was certainly a clear signal from the White House to Moscow that the Americans were willing to reconcile.

“The Red Navy has really swelled up, and there’s only one country in the world that can make three carrier battle groups fall back.”

Alan Wilson marveled at the Soviet Union’s knowledge of shame after the Cuban Missile Crisis, but now that it’s over, the aftermath of this drama is not worth caring about.

Like Japan’s value automatically disappearing after being taken as a typical example, it’s been a long struggle, and it’s only halfway through at best.
