Chapter 747 The Soviet Union’s Proposal to Join NATO

The French may have forgotten how French India and New France disappeared into British India and New England.

The British army was limited by the size of the British population and could not fight large-scale wars, and often needed a helper to help out, which was one of the reasons for the Continental Equilibrium policy, but it did not mean that the British army’s fighting ability was poor.

The modern impression that the British army is a poor fighting force stems largely from the fact that the British army in Asia lost to the Japanese, but then again, it’s as if the French army was so glorious in WWII.

“The unwarranted arrogance of the French is as usual.” Allen Wilson, at General Bilton’s command, also learned of the news that had come back from the British Advisory Group in Vietnam.

He also had a rough idea of the American attitude, because at this time in 1954, there was already a U.S. advisory mission present in Vietnam, and the American military advisors were clearly more on the ball than the British ones.

“Not a good comment.” General Bilton actually wanted to spit in the face of the French, a Napoleonic era turned over and tuned in to proclamations. But he is, after all, a general who has seen fifty, can’t be like Alan Wilson, a youngster who can’t control his own mouth, and changed the topic, “What do you think, can France’s purpose be achieved?”

“If we enter the rainy season, this lone French arrangement will be bad.” Alan Wilson pointed out the weather in Southeast Asia, which was unfavorable for airlift, “One Frenchman dead is one less, the Vietnamese are not like that.”

In fact, as far as the number of casualties at Dien Bien Phu was concerned, the French still managed a one-for-four exchange ratio, with over 8,000 Vietnamese killed and at least a few times higher number of wounded. But victory was not a simple exchange ratio.

This elite unit drawn from the French army was besieged and surrendered, and France lost the ability to strategically attack.

General Bilton was also silent, France’s predicament might be partly, if not entirely, something that Britain would run into, what if one day Britain ran into something similar?

“I’ve heard that nuclear landmines are being researched in this country, and to be honest, that’s not exactly an advanced concept. As powerful as they are, they’re still landmines, they’re a limited threat to the Soviet Union, and even if they were to be placed in the Federal Republic of Germany, London would quickly realize that they don’t do much. It might as well have been placed in Malaya!” Alan Wilson, unchanged from his heavy-handed Third World nature, was rather unimpressed by the ideas of certain domestic military establishments.

“Gives you access to nuclear mines!” General Bilton asked meaningfully rhetorically, “Would you dare to use them.”

“I don’t answer hypothetical questions, but ten million people isn’t really that much in my eyes.” Alan Wilson did not answer this question head on, he said he dared to use it, not to mention whether General Bilton would think he was blowing it, what if it leaked out?

The future head of the British civil service was a man who viewed nuclear weapons as conventional weapons, with the potential to impede his progress.

“What we need to do to avoid a repeat of Vietnam in Malaya is to be vigilant in the midst of any little thing that might cause unrest. And then there’s the building up of Malaya, the ordinary man’s scruples increase when he has an altar and is not on his own, not to say all of them, I guess, but the vast majority of them don’t dare to really give up their wives and children and start a revolution in a headlong rush.”

As a matter of fact he did just that; he, the commissioner, had always spoken softly and done hard things, and there were not many who dared to violate the laws of British Malaya, whether they were the Ching Laws or the Laws of the Religion of Peace.

Instead of the implementation of the British Malaya well-known land management regulations, this colonial residents can often run into the regulations, is the important measures to manage the colony.

For this purpose, a large number of temporary detention centers were built in British Malaya to hold those who had violated the regulations. The interior of these temporary detention centers was set up for space-saving reasons, following the example of the pigeonholes in which the lower classes of the Hong Kong people lived in later times.

During the period of detention from half a month to three months, the focus was on giving the detainees a three-foot place to stay.

Such a room was capable of holding at least several times as many prisoners as to why it was done.

Because in his previous life, Ai Lu Wilson had the experience of being incarcerated, he deeply knew that the so-called labor was limited to deterring an unruly person, and the mental torture was in the control!

A pigeonhole cage one meter wide and two meters long is able to do this, for these short-term prisoners, British Malaya does not need them to do what labor contributes to the interests of the honestly stay inside lying on the line.

Three days five days a person can carry, once a long period of time is locked in the pigeonhole, will be incomparably eager to be free. After coming out will certainly have a clearer understanding of the four words of the free world.

Out of cost self-sufficiency, felons are generally used to serve these temporary inmates. Allen Wilson was the Chinese he saw last time in the Castle Peak Detention Center, the prisoner who was about to be released and came out in the last few days to feel the free world.

Allen Wilson hands in his pockets old God said, “As for the situation in Vietnam, well, either the economy is good, France can not do it, or in the untenable time, think more about how to scrape the ground, not in vain colonization a.”

There are pervasive to carry out short-term imprisonment of the bar as a deterrent, and ultimately the development of the economy as a fundamental.

The ugly face of the imperial commissioner imperialism is enough to make the world’s vast number of righteous people verbally abused, but he also does not care, and did not openly declared in the mouth, who knows?

Immediately, no one knows more about the military than me, Alan Wilson, summarized the remarks of the allies, wrote a report to London on the French military operations, involving Vietnam, said there is no limit to indicate that the Soviet Union carried out support for North Vietnam, the supporters are mainly the Chinese.

In fact that is exactly what happened, Khrushchev himself was not very enthusiastic about foreign aid, and North Vietnam was supported by the Chinese in the early days. The Soviet Union was not interested in what was going on in North Vietnam, nor was it willing to provide aid.

The Soviet Union’s initial aid was still China’s way of stiff-arming Big Brother for a little blood. Soviet support for North Vietnam came after the U.S. became involved in the Vietnam situation, and as the U.S. became more involved, so did Soviet aid.

During the Brezhnev era, the Soviet Union quickly overtook China for the lion’s share of aid to Vietnam. In fact from that point of view it was normal for Vietnam to follow the Soviet Union, who let the Soviet Union give more, they are still the big brother.

Then Allen Wilson turned the tables and said that British Malaya was different from Vietnam, and he had good reason to think that even if France ultimately failed in Vietnam, it would not affect the stability of British Malaya.

The report also presented several items of what the U.S. considered to be the disadvantages of the French army as evidence to enhance the professionalism of the report. The words indicated that in fact the Americans were not optimistic about the French military campaign either.

“Why is your telegram so long?” Princess Margaret was so disgruntled that she felt her fingers were sore, the novelty of being captured by her brother-in-law as a laborer had worn off, and she began to express her petty grievances.

“It’s not an exercise for you.” Alan Wilson said with a look of I’m doing you a favor, “You have to be a useful person to society so that you can gain the people’s approval, you can’t act arbitrarily just because you’re a princess, you have to know that it’s not fifty years ago, when monarchical countries were still the mainstream, and now the royal family has to act more pro-people.”

“What does this have to do with you making me work.” Princess Margaret’s face was not good, thinking that her brother-in-law’s head was full of crooked reasoning, but these crooked reasoning Pamela Mountbatten still always accepts, it is really outrageous.

Allen Wilson pointed to his leg, the Princess Royal immediately jumped over and sat on the man’s lap, and now also said what to squeeze the Princess labor, but then the Princess body trembled.

Just one hand left Allen Wilson supported the princess back, righteousness, “is brother-in-law wrong, huh?”

“No, no!” Princess Margaret wore a difficult expression, and her gaze toward the man became watery.

This report that coalesced Allen Wilson’s keyway was like a stone dropped into the sea when it arrived at the Foreign Office building in London. This was because while the French army was mobilizing troops to build a fortress at Dien Bien Phu, there was also a matter in Europe that had the free world’s hands full.

It was the entry of the Soviet Union into NATO, and the Soviet Union submitted a really serious and formal application to NATO, claiming that NATO needed to accept the Soviet Union as a member for the sake of “world peace”.

After the establishment of NATO, although the countries of the free world repeatedly claimed that the formation of NATO was not directed against any country and that it was for the sake of world peace, anyone with a discerning eye could see who the so-called non-directed against any country was really directed against.

Andrei Gromyko, one of the giants of the Soviet Union in the latter days, who by now was a deputy minister of the Soviet Foreign Ministry, made a proposal for the Soviet Union to join NATO and test the opposite reaction.

The biggest possibility is that the U.S. will push back the Soviet Union’s application for membership for a variety of reasons, and in this context, NATO will have to tear off its elaborate make-up, and any “world peace” is a sham, and the U.S.-led NATO will have to slow down its pace of annexation of the “CED”. The US-led NATO will also have to slow down its pace of annexing the “CED”.

If, on the other hand, the United States showed a positive attitude towards the Soviet Union’s joining NATO, it would completely change the NATO landscape. As the saying goes, “the best way to break an alliance is to join it.” Once the Soviet Union joins NATO, NATO will, to put it politely, become a place for the U.S. and the Soviet Union to fight, just like the UN Security Council.

Two amendments to the Soviet Union’s draft treaty on collective security in Europe: it was also proposed that the United States would not be excluded from formal participation in the pan-European collective security system, and that the Soviet Union would consider participating in NATO if the organization was truly about maintaining world peace.

So London has no time at the moment to pay any attention to what military action France is taking in faraway Asia, but is racking its brains to think of a justification to defuse such a cheeky Soviet proposal.
