Chapter 681 The Gold Plating Program

It wasn’t that Alan Wilson was possessed by White Left and suddenly wanted to learn from twenty-first century America and play that identity politics of gay minorities. But as far as the current world’s attitude towards people like Turing is concerned, it is also true that it is a little too much.

It’s not like people like Turing are something that this group can choose, and it’s hard to justify putting one in jail when you find one.

For Alan Wilson this kind of keep a distance from each other do not disturb the attitude, Turing has been excited enough, this era Turing this kind of people, also do not hate every day to hang the orientation on the mouth of the death of the mentality, can have the mainstream group’s default has been enough to feel happy.

In fact, Turing this matter did not proliferate, the newspaper is not mentioned, now the citizens of London are discussing, the colonial black athletes for the country to compete for the glory of it, this is for the citizens is a big deal, as for what the Iranian oil crisis, the Egyptian coup no one cares about, and even has been about to pay for the water surface of the NATO, can not attract the interest of the citizens of London, not to mention the small things such as Turing.

“Just keep focusing on your scientific research. In fact, if you become more and more successful, representing the group you are in is just as much of a contribution to humanity, I believe that ordinary people will recognize your group, or at least not discriminate against it.”

Alan Wilson also drew a pie, he himself is very much looking forward to Turing with computers to bring a wave of dividends to the United Kingdom, after all, the whole of the United Kingdom now can only count on Turing, others are even more unreliable.

In this era, Allen Wilson understands that the UK’s national scale of the development of the limitations. Not like the United States and the Soviet Union as a full blossom, for a country, the scale is really important.

Like Japan’s development to the peak by the United States to clean up, resulting in a quagmire, the most fundamental reason or Japan’s scale is not enough to fall into the Galapagosization of the dilemma.

Even if the same level of technology, the United States and Japan at the same time to promote, the United States will rely on a larger scale to let the world recognize the United States standard, the Japanese standard blocked at home so that it can not be promoted.

Galapagosization does not only exist in Japan, China’s Internet is a larger-scale Galapagosization. Any Internet company that goes overseas is facing a much more powerful American company. Chinese internet companies are starting to have to compete with food vendors for profits.

With the size of the UK’s current homegrown population, if they think they can equal the US on their home turf alone. It will surely be hammered into Galapagosization by the US, so it must become the leader of the EC.

If it can’t do that, even if the UK has the technology to match the US, it’s no match for the US when it finally gets into a standards fight, and all kinds of UK products will be quickly blocked on home soil.

The UK is luckier than Japan in that the UK is now in a position to speak up in the EEC. Japan’s relationship with Southeast Asia is fine, but the near future of China and South Korea have a grudge against Japan, Japan is not able to lend a hand.

In fact, now the United Kingdom in Europe is considered to stand out, in nineteen fifty-two the United Kingdom’s automobile production has exceeded one million. It seems that the output of the United States cannot be compared with that of the United States, but now the United Kingdom is the only country other than the United States that produces more than one million automobiles.

Moreover, the selling price of British cars is still quite higher than that of the United States, and other industries are also the same as the automobile industry, which is not as good as that of the United States, but it is still pulling away from the European countries. British cars are also the only cars that can enter North America!

The underpinnings of once being the world’s hegemony were revealed, and it seemed that in a short period of time, Allen Wilson would not be able to transfer the automobile industry to the colonies under his administration.

With Allen Wilson’s help, Turing did not affect his research because of this arrest, a very gratifying result.

As for the enduring civil discussion of black athletes, it had nothing to do with him; he was more concerned about when NATO would be formed.

This Berlin Crisis The Soviet Union cut off Berlin’s electrical system and began to build the Berlin Wall. Resulting in a sharp rise in the situation of progress in Europe, but also let the NATO that has been under discussion into people’s eyes.

In fact, according to Alan Wilson’s memory, NATO have appeared for three years, which have come late.

But this three-year window still has a role to play, it must be said that because of the history of the Berlin Crisis in 1948 led to, the United Kingdom agreed to the United States to establish a military base on British soil to arrange strategic bombers.

The Berlin Crisis was three years late, so there were no U.S. military bases on British soil. And the Berlin Crisis in this time and space erupted after the Korean War, and after MacArthur made some rash remarks about nuclear weapons appeared, it is estimated that in the future it is impossible for Britain to agree to the United States setting up military bases on British soil.

Neither could mutual military presence, which is what Alan Wilson had pried out of Whitehall, which had already had hypothetical discussions on the matter, although the US had not so proposed. Even if the U.S. had indicated that the U.K. could also garrison the U.S., reciprocity would be at a disadvantage.

Rushing to Whitehall, I, Alan Wilson, met Sir Ismay, Permanent Under-Secretary of State at the Foreign Office, and while inquiring about a military alliance, at the same time learned the bottom line of the present Cabinet.

“We talked to the Americans, the military alliance, of course, with France as the centerpiece, the Federal Republic of Germany as the front line. So the placement of military bases billion France as the main focus.” Sir Ismay said unhurriedly, “Washington also agrees with this arrangement. After all, France is an army powerhouse, and with Germany unable to count on it for the time being, we can only rely on the French.”

“And the Italians!” Allen Wilson added following Sir Ismay’s words, “Anyway, we are not known for our land forces, we can’t afford such a difficult task, and there are still a lot of colonies that need to be garrisoned, and the strength of the current 800,000 standing army is not quite enough, how can we increase the number of troops in Europe?”

After shirking some responsibility, Allen Wilson seemed to remember something and pressed, “What about the command of this military alliance? This is a big thing.”

Responsibility should be shirked to shirk, but the right to command can not be shirked, on the contrary, but also to strive for.

“This military alliance is dominated by Britain and the United States, sharing the power of the military alliance.” Ismay gave an answer.

In fact most of the current proposals regarding the establishment of NATO had already been negotiated.

“By the way, the US wants Greece and Turkey to join this military alliance. We have already endorsed it!” Sir Ismay also took the initiative to tell Alan Wilson about this.

Seeing Sir Ismay’s self-consciousness, Allen Wilson thought of the phrase, I thought he was here to assist me!

NATO, in its early days, was a dual Anglo-American model. This can be seen from the fact that Eisenhower became Commander-in-Chief and Montgomery was Deputy Commander-in-Chief, but the civilian head, the Secretary General of NATO, was British. NATO is what Britain and the US say it is!

But if de Gaulle came to power, he would have fought for the same command for France, wanting to change the status quo of France in NATO subordinate to the United Kingdom and the United States, and then it was just no surprise that it was rejected by the United Kingdom and the United States, and then France withdrew from NATO, and the headquarters of NATO was relocated to Brussels.

In the course of a year, France first declared that its Mediterranean fleet was not subject to NATO command; then France refused to allow the United States to place nuclear weapons in France and forced the United States to withdraw its nuclear bombs and bombers carrying nuclear weapons in France.

After France exploded its first atomic bomb. Another declaration that the Atlantic Fleet is not under NATO command. All French officers serving in the NATO Naval Command were recalled.

De Gaulle wrote to U.S. President Johnson, requesting a formal withdrawal from NATO military organizations and announcing the withdrawal of all French troops under NATO command, as well as canceling the right of NATO military aircraft to transit and land in France, and restricting the withdrawal of U.S. troops and their bases from France within one year.

Finally, France withdrew from NATO’s military integration body; it withdrew from the NATO Military Committee. NATO headquarters was moved from Paris to Brussels.

“Eisenhower is going to be president soon, I wonder who is going to be the NATO Commander-in-Chief?” Allen Wilson mentally chimed in and didn’t hold back his inquiry, wondering who the U.S. wanted to send as NATO Commander-in-Chief.

“Washington has not yet decided, but there is a voice that General Li Qiwei, is the candidate that the United States is going to recommend.” Sir Ismay gave a sardonic smile, then painted a picture and said, “Alan, do you know why I’m talking to you about these things?”

“I don’t know!” Alan Wilson replied with a bewildered face, even brainstorming whether the other party suspected that he was a Soviet spy?

Just as he was about to put on a condescending look self beside Alan Wilson, he heard Sir Ismay say, “When signing the contract with the United States you and I will be present together with the Foreign Secretary, Sir Norman hopes that you will be able to add a glorious piece to your resume.”

“I feel very honored!” Alan Wilson understood that this was pie in the sky, although he was still attached to the Foreign Office, he was actually working as a colonial commissioner now, and this matter actually had nothing to do with him. Sir Ismay doing this was really very beneficial to him.

Gold plating who would refuse? Anyway, Allen Wilson could not refuse, and has even telegraphed to Kuala Lumpur and Africa, quickly to our Great British Apocalypse, the Honorable Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brooke, to provide good wood.

When he got home, Alan Wilson told of his intention to return to Malaya after gilding the lily.

“When will the contract be signed?” Pamela Mountbatten had heard about the military alliance, never mind who her father was. Discussions about it had reached her ears a long time ago.

“August twenty-fifth, a month away.” Alan Wilson raised his wrist to check the time, “The signing will take place in Paris, with the economic and trade part of the Brussels Treaty Organization merged into the EEC, and the military part merged with this new military alliance. The headquarters of the Brussels Treaty Organization, will also be moved from London to Paris, which will be the new headquarters of this military alliance.”

“Oh, and the Helsinki Olympics should be over by then, so I’ll know if this sports lottery is worth the long term investment in the future.” Pamela Mountbatten nodded, “You’re looking very promising in the eyes of Whitehall up and down the country, aren’t you my dear?”
