Chapter 750: Imperialist Brothers
“We have actually always maintained goodwill toward the United States, and now it seems inevitable that the world will be divided into two.” Molotov looked rather complicated, although in the Far East, the United States had fought a war for more than three years, but this had no loss to the national strength of the United States.
And although the Soviet Union has recovered from the losses of the war, and even more powerful than before the war, but compared to the United States is still much worse, the problem if only out of the United States, it is not out of the question, but the problem is that the other countries within NATO, Britain, France, Germany and Italy, are all powerful U.S. allies, at least a lot more powerful than the Eastern European countries.
But who were the allies on the Soviet side? Things like Romania, Bulgaria, populations are not as good as Belgium. Not to mention compared to Britain and France, if the Netherlands within NATO is the Soviet Union’s ally, can be said to be the Soviet Union side of the powerful ally. But in the middle of NATO, the Netherlands is simply an insignificant country.
The population of Eastern Europe also Western Europe is indeed far worse than the Soviet Union and the United States alone.
“Yes, we have always avoided confrontation with the United States, but Washington treats our goodwill as invisible, and the responsibility is not ours.” Khrushchev sighed, to put it mildly, he had arguably lowered his stance even more than Stalin had put it, hoping to change the animosity between the US and the USSR.
But some things are not the release of goodwill on the line, the Soviet Union can not just back down, Khrushchev believes in his heart, as long as you give the Soviet Union time, the Soviet Union itself exceeds the United States, the contrast of power will be a decisive change, so that is why they advocate détente, but the détente can not be unilateral goodwill, around the circle he now understands that, even if it is a race for peace, but also to be backed up by force.
With the militarization of NATO has become inevitable, Khrushchev is also thinking that the Soviet Union should also establish its own military alliance.
Of course it didn’t have to be so soon, after waiting for public opinion to fester and the Soviet Union to make all the goodwill, a military alliance encompassing all the socialist countries of Eastern Europe could be created and used to confront the United States.
“Comrade Molotov, how to contact the fraternal political parties and endorse our ideas is the focus of your work in the next stage.” Khrushchev, since he became the controller of the Soviet Union, also began to pay attention to the manner of speaking, and did not shout like before.
But the long-standing habit could not be changed, and his attention to tone was limited to Malinkov, Molotov and others. As for Brezhnev and Shelepin there was no such treatment.
In particular, the current youngest member of the Central Committee, Serepin, who was only thirty-five years old, was especially recognized by Khrushchev, who believed that the cadres of the USSR should be a little younger, not in the hands of a group of old men who had been running the country since nineteen eighteen.
At this point in time, Sherepine was already a rising star in Soviet politics, next to a group of like-minded friends. Of course he could not have imagined that ten years later he would be simultaneously a member of the Central Committee, the Presidium, the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Chairman of the Committee for the Supervision of the Party and the State, the First Vice-Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and four other important party and political posts, and a powerful man in the USSR.
Surrounded by Egorechev, the first secretary of the Moscow City Committee, Tikunov, the first secretary of the Leningrad City Committee, Meshchatsev of Pravda, the KGB and the Komsomol were even more of a home base for Serebin. There probably won’t be a No. 2 with as much authority as Tselepine again.
If Allen Wilson was a Soviet, he knew Tselepine and would certainly have counseled what the fuss was about.
What is the benefit of following Brezhnev, just by virtue of Xie Leiping’s age, step by step the Soviet Union sooner or later is his, Khrushchev’s have any problems, when you come to power can be solved.
But he is not the Soviet Union, the British civilian group and politicians are not the same thing, only in the British Malayan colony, Alan Wilson can find the feeling of power in the field, Oscar-winning actress is to be a few there are a few.
The United States and the Soviet Union how to fight, in Alan Wilson’s view is not important at all, the United Kingdom should be concerned about how to count the legacy, and cash, before withdrawing from the colony, as far as possible, take away everything that can be taken away, of course, is not for nothing, you can leave a lot of pounds to the independent countries to do foreign exchange reserves.
While he was busy with the work of the colony, he had to cope with his sister-in-law who had chased him to Penang to fulfill the job of caretaker.
Her Royal Highness had never been so attached to a job, especially after learning that her brother-in-law was hosting a group of movie queens.
Her Royal Highness chased tightly, Alan Wilson can only turn the work into a secret, fortunately, a few confidants also know how to understand the situation, not too much, but only private occasions have complained about it is also unavoidable.
Allen Wilson a famous two-faced person, in front of these actors, talking about the French military action morally untenable. In front of Princess Margaret changed his face.
Vivien Leigh and others were just ordinary people, and the colonial issue by its very nature could not touch these people.
In Princess Margaret is a British princess, even if the surface can not show it, the heart should know how important the colonies are to Britain in the end.
In front of his sister-in-law, the Imperial Commissioner is concerned about the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in France, and in front of the movie queens he is concerned about the Golden Statue Award this award, Alan Wilson even just started to feel that it should be affordable to make awards with pure gold, and then a little bit of calculation of the cost of the current economic base of British Malaya, can not yet be so lavish and wasteful.
Alan Wilson is not for petty profits, even if it is pure gold, he is completely affordable.
The key is to take into account the overall economic situation of the colony, he can not learn from South Korea all the people ready to debut. Korean trainees more essentially is also a kind of involution embodiment, now Malaya is not yet to that point.
In the meantime, there is also a constant stream of updated reports on the war situation, sent from Saigon, on the subject of imperialist solidarity, the British reports are of course that the French are moving from one victory to another, but in the telegrams seen by Allen Wilson, the French offensive has stalled and the war has entered a stalemate.
The Viet Cong had stopped the French offensive and counter-attacked, capturing three positions in a row and then advancing so rapidly that the defenders fled. The Viet Cong captured Quinzon City and wiped out the enemy in the northern part of the Western Plains. After that, the Vietcong continued to move southward, approaching Highway 19 and attacking the city of Pleiku, liberating a total of 1.6 million square kilometers of land and 200,000 people, forcing the French army to stop the attack on Phu Yen, and urgently deployed troops to strengthen the strongholds in Pleiku and the southern part of Tay Plain to prevent the Vietcong from continuing to move southward.
Subsequently, the Vietcong annihilated a battalion of the enemy and captured Azupo. The enemy in Ha Liao, with only a French commander and the rest Laotian pseudo-military, was extremely weak, poorly equipped and poorly trained, and quickly collapsed in front of the Vietcong’s forces. The Vietcong quickly moved forward and liberated the province of Muang Phai and most of Saracen.
General Nawal’s sweeping plan had only been in effect for less than a week before it was declared a failure, and the garrison of Dien Bien Phu, straight away, became a real garrison, and the entire territory of Laos had fallen, and one-third of the French colony had been lost.
“The French are a real pain in the ass!” If it wasn’t for the fact that Her Highness was beside her, Allen Wilson would have wanted to curse these fools.
“Brother-in-law, is the battle unfavorable for the French?” Seeing her brother-in-law troubled, Princess Margaret also made a good behavior, not to act arbitrarily at this time, all forgetting that she had just questioned her brother-in-law’s character issue.
For she remembered something, as if the Hollywood actress who had been a guest in Newfoundland at the time, and the one who was now vacationing in Penang had a striking rate of overlap, and issued a query on the subject.
After having her suspicions Princess Margaret’s whole mind was open to the idea, and she remembered Alan Wilson’s oversized bra at the Governor’s Mansion in Newfoundland, which was said to be personally owned by Ingrid Bergman, who was also here on this occasion.
“It’s hard to imagine the French losing all of Laos so quickly.” Alan Wilson shook his head incomprehensibly, hands clasped in worry over the fate of his imperialist brethren.
“Don’t worry brother-in-law, you can tell by the way the French behaved in World War II.” Princess Margaret bristled.
Alan Wilson glanced at Her Royal Highness, insulting the French in this matter the British can be said that everyone is an expert. However, the general public insulting the law are not black to the key place, in fact, the Vietnam War French army so embarrassing, is the essence of insulting the law.
But why is the Vietnam War rarely used to insult the law? This question is very simple, because the United States in Vietnam more humiliating. If using the Vietnam War to insult the law is essentially an insult to the U.S., how dare filial sons and daughters blacken the lighthouse of humanity? Wouldn’t that be a revolt?
Now France is in the middle of the unfavorable, Allen Wilson can not help, many conditions are not available, if it is the battlefield in South Vietnam, if he were the French would operate ethnic cleansing, armed Cambodians on the Vietnamese killing spree.
But now in South Vietnam is still calm, can not be done without reason. But what about in the North? Laos was too weak to be a threat to Vietnam, let alone now that Laos had fallen.
“Dear General, the last shipment of napalm has been taken up and I wish France all the best. Malaya has been very unsettled lately, with clashes breaking out between the Chinese and the Malays, and Britain has done what it can to help.”
This telegram, full of hints, reached General Navarre, the first being a reminder to the French to use the napalm quickly, while the rainy season was not yet continuous, and the other being a hint that the war was not to be confined to the battlefield, and that the buildings of Vietnam were predominantly of wood, and that the villages in the vicinity were to be cleared at once.
Alan Wilson, of course, can not say straight to make an example of pouring the war on the civilian population, can only use this implied tone, so that the French army to expand the scope of the war.
This way, even if the French army lost the war, but also can turn the battlefield into a white field, to know that there are a large number of French troops are composed of people from the North African colonies, a large number of killings of Vietnamese civilians, but also these colonial soldiers, in the future when faced with the choice to be a little more scrupulous.
