Chapter 562 Unthreatened France
De Gaulle had long been the leader of the French military, even if he now had to live in seclusion. France was a country that moved to revolution, and naturally the military was no exception. The man the French military admired most was Napoleon.
Because of this, de Gaulle became the president of France in the final moments of the suppression of the Algerian War, with the military’s embrace. Of course de Gaulle didn’t end up making the military’s wishes come true because he really wasn’t Napoleon.
Because of de Gaulle’s seclusion, current France is still in the midst of frequent changes of government. Allen Wilson just thought up, should not be on the establishment of NATO things to operate.
Currently there are so many favorable places, France’s political chaos, as a military leader de Gaulle, by the parties to make the reclusive. But the United States of America to France to give high hopes, after all, Germany are non-existent, and now count on and the Soviet Union against the army power, the whole of Europe is only France.
This is the real idea of the United States, never Allen Wilson induced to think so, he also did not have the ability to induce a national decision-making, can do is to make the best use of the situation. In the case of judgment out of the U.S. movement, so that Britain less pay more benefits.
By now Allen Wilson still think he has a plan, do not know that although he can prevent the Cambridge Five, but can not prevent the Dragon Riders sugar-coated shells, Moscow is now brewing in Western Europe in the middle of the Federal Republic of Germany and NATO two things, the heart is clear.
It was even known that there was a hint of British distrust in the fighting prowess of the U.S. Army. This had to be exploited to its advantage!
Moscow, which only did not say anything, steeply increased the amount of military supplies going into Korea and tried to embarrass the Eighth Army as much as possible through the hands of the People’s Army.
Alan Wilson, who had left the gentle land of the Dragon Riders, traveled to Paris as did the U.S. representative to persuade the French to look at the big picture.
The French wanted to form a coal and iron community to clamp down on the Germans, something Britain had already helped the French to do.
Although Allen Wilson used the Australian iron ore as a backup for Britain, but undeniably, Britain was out of goodwill to help the French, and the benefits of the Coal and Iron Community to France need no further explanation.
Although the Marshall Plan has been implemented, but the streets of Paris can still be seen at a glance, the prestige of the French Communist Party has not dropped much, after all, it is the old revolutionary area now, the influence of the French Communist Party can even last until the time of the May Storm.
On the train to Paris, the British and American representatives have exchanged views, Allen Wilson still did not appear, just through the mouth of the British representative, said the cornerstone of European stability lies in France, and the French Communist Party is now so strong, the U.S. military base should focus on France.
The advantage of this is to prevent the French Communist Party, the bandwagon party of the Soviet Union, from getting into trouble once the conflicts in Europe intensify.
In this regard, the Americans thought deeply, from the current situation, Italy and France, where the Italian and French Communists are located, must become the top priority of the United States in the European defense system.
“The British still have vision!” After listening to Britain’s opinion, the American delegates, talking among themselves, also expressed their recognition of the old imperialists’ diplomatic ability.
Allen Wilson, after all, had come over to dilly-dally on the merits, with the greatest aim of appearing for a group photo when there were results. Naturally, he was unaware of the remarks among the official delegates. But it is not that he boasts, than vision he is not modest ……
Since it is not the official negotiator, his time is actually very abundant, the first thing to do is, to visit Hedy Lamarr, who has not appeared in the public eye for several months.
It was very normal for him to return to Europe to visit his beloved women, and in front of Hedy Lamarr, he naturally couldn’t say that he had come back to the office, and that his main purpose was to return to Europe in a hurry because of his longing for Hedy Lamarr.
“You should be an actor, how you can do so blandly lie.” Hedy Lamarr gave Allen Wilson a blank look without a good mood, “Let me ask you, what did you ask Ingrid to go to Asia for? Do you want all the actresses who are known for their beauty to give you babies?”
“Haven’t you not gone out for a long time?” Alan Wilson looked skeptical, “How do you know Ingrid has been to Asia? You wouldn’t know if she ever left Paris.”
“Because Ingrid recently contacted Greta and wanted Greta to help run Woodpecker Pictures and give her a year off.” Hedy Lamarr bristled, “What happens that requires a year off? Besides having a baby!”
Ahem! Alan Wilson cleared his throat and made a deep color bending down to kiss Hedy Lamarr’s red lips, his warm palm caressing Hedy Lamarr’s stomach, “It’s my fault, but I can’t be indifferent to your amazing charms.”
“I think you’ve said that many times since Vivian?” Hedy Lamarr sighed, “I’m not asking for anything else, I’m older than you, and since you don’t care now, you’ll have to accept the age difference later.”
To which Allen Wilson of course gambled, it’s not like there aren’t any age-appropriate ones out there, like the new generation British actress Hepburn.
From Hedy Lamarr here out, Allen Wilson went to Woodpecker Pictures headquarters, Ingrid Bergman’s body type as usual, has not shown the inconvenience.
And Ingrid Bergman is considered to be very tall among women, want to hide the changes in the stomach is relatively easy.
But facing the man’s careful request for confirmation, Ingrid Bergman was still embarrassed to admit that there was indeed something.
“You’re very proud of yourself, aren’t you? So many beautiful women, risking their reputations to have children for you.” Ingrid Bergman gritted her silver teeth, “Aren’t you pleased that Woodpecker Pictures now has all the assistants in Northern Rhodesia.”
“Oh Ingrid, you know, I’m not sensitive to money. The thing I like is to see beloved women succeed. For that reason I am willing to help you. Doesn’t the success of the acquisition of United American Pictures show that?”
Alan Wilson had a resigned look on his face and with a pitiful expression, he hoped that Ingrid Bergman could forgive him for some of his personal morality issues, and that capable men deserved to be cared for more.
“Really can’t help you.” Ingrid Bergman face glanced up and muttered darkly.
While Allen Wilson fished for seniority while placating the women, the Korean Peninsula, entering August, was thinking about the evolution of the familiar Pusan defense circle.
When the Battle of Osan was first engaged in July, the disastrous defeat of Task Force Smith, the first to enter the battle, gave the U.S. Army an understanding of the plight of the galloping troops who were all struggling to defend themselves.
However, the 24th Infantry Division of the U.S. Eighth Army continued to resist in the center of the Korean Peninsula until the Battle of Daejeon in mid-July, when it was routed on July 20, losing 60 percent of its equipment and 45 percent of its strength, with more than 7,000 dead and wounded, and even its division commander, Major General Wilhelm Friedrich Dean, was captured after the battle; the half-month that the 24th Infantry Division fought to win before collapsing gave the United Nations Army a way to step up its reinforcements. UN forces the means to step up their reinforcements, and new UN reinforcements continued to mount the Korean Peninsula on a daily basis after July.
The 1st Cavalry Division and 25th Infantry Division landed from the Korean Peninsula and then assembled at Pusan as ordered to build a defense line centered on Daegu. After the fall of Jinju, the land controlled by the U.S.-Korean coalition forces became what is remembered as the Pusan defense circle.
This was the big background when Allen Wilson rubbed his nose in the seniority, which is why his previous expression of skepticism about American combat power through the British representative, Lord Makins of Sheffield, made the face of the U.S. representative in Bonn hard to bear.
Because in the face of a country that had never even heard of, the United States was beaten to a dusty death, with the commander of the 24th Infantry Division being captured and his troops annihilated. It was really hard for the United States to prove that the United States was as strong as it claimed to be. The Soviet Union, on the Euro-Zulu side, can be much harder to deal with than North Korea.
The current leader of France is René Plivin, president of the sixth post-war French Council of Ministers, René Plivin has just taken office less than a month ago, replacing Henri Quille of the Radical Socialist Party, who had been head of government for ten days. became the current head of the French government.
René Plivin’s main proposition was the creation of a European army! Allen Wilson can conclude that the establishment of the European Army is something that the Americans certainly do not want to see.
And this will for Britain and the United States are preparing for the NATO, a layer of shadow. French political factions of the different claims, at this time the leadership of France is interested in the establishment of the European army.
Allen Wilson and the Americans who accompanied him felt that the purpose might not be reached so easily.
Sure enough, the development of things is to need a variety of conditions are in place, in this time period, precisely a politician interested in the European Army to lead France, so that the British and American proposals were coldly received.
Seeing this, Allen Wilson sent a message to the Americans through Makins, couldn’t a coup or something be initiated?
This kind of suggestion that harbors evil intentions was naturally rejected by the Americans, who, after some discussion, decided to use the old method of using the threat of termination of aid through the Marshall Plan as a way to make the French bow down.
But this move, let René Plivin very disgusted, a political figure who advocates the establishment of the European Army, was not much good to the United States, how can be threatened by such a threat and indifferent.
Not to be outdone, he in turn let slip that if the US wanted to see the French Communist Party lead the French in welcoming the entry of the Soviet Red Army after the Soviet Union marched in, it could have done so.
With that out of the way, the U.S. also changed its attitude, saying that the British should persuade the French to look at the big picture.
“The Americans are addicted to using monetary threats. It just so happens that they’ve stumbled upon someone who doesn’t eat it up.” Makins laughed bitterly after learning the story.
“Yeah!” Alan Wilson had a muddled head, not realizing that he happened to run into such a politician. It seemed that there were pros and cons to things, and he had previously been happy that NATO hadn’t appeared, leading to an increase in Britain’s room for maneuver.
But now, looking again at France’s lack of interest in NATO, it was only then that he realized that some things needed to appear in the right place at the right time, and it was much harder to maneuver after that time.
