Chapter 788 – Pointing out McCarthy

From McCarthy’s mouth, Allen Wilson condescended to the U.S. attitude toward India, and McCarthy was the only one who was tough; Washington still did not have a definite idea about India.

“I haven’t seen you in a few years, and you’re already the ranking Republican member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. I’m still just a colonial steward.” Allen Wilson raised his glass to McCarthy, sounding rather self-hating.

“Anyway, our friendship remains the same.” McCarthy unconcerned and Allen Wilson clink glasses, in McCarthy deep in the center of public opinion, this Englishman and he befriended, out of the predicament of friendship, of course, more solid.

In the face of McCarthy’s deep and urgent love, Allen Wilson put the cup of wine in a drink and said to himself, “is that I think too much. Our friendship is as eternal as the special British-American relationship.”

Pamela Mountbatten, who was climbing with Mrs. McCarthy, was stunned and seemed to smell intrigue. By not mentioning any special Anglo-American relationship, she was convinced that her husband really cherished the friendship; by mentioning it, it was bound to be false.

After the reception was over, Alan Wilson had made arrangements to send Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy to the cleared villa to rest. He himself took a walk to evaporate the alcohol before going home.

“And this American seems to trust you?” Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes rippled with light, and she asked with a wry smile, “Where did you find such a treasure? How rare!”

“Hmm? Oh!” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but laugh at the sound of his wife’s words, he naturally understood them.

It was indeed very rare for someone like McCarthy to engage in politics, with weaknesses that were too out of the ordinary. Being staunchly anti-Soviet is actually not a drag on a political figure like McCarthy, quite the contrary, it allows McCarthy to avoid some of his shortcomings.

But even so, historically McCarthy flopped, and the aura that would have doomed McCarthy to soar in a normal person didn’t cover McCarthy, showing how unsuited he was to be a politician.

In turn, look at Kennedy, from just entering the political world is a playboy, but can step by step on the presidential throne.

Of course, in the end, the real sense of the cartwheel, even the skull did not save. Yet it didn’t hold people back from being president, which is two issues.

A good half day Allen Wilson from the heart of the laughter only stopped, softly explained, “McCarthy is a good person, for people like him, there is no special way, come up with a sincere friendship is the best way, say it you may not believe, I am sincere and he made friends, even now, I also have a clear conscience.”

“And then to compare the friendship between you two with the special Anglo-American relationship!” The corners of Pamela Mountbatten’s mouth quirked up in a look that was all I-don’t-believe-you-who-do-I-believe.

“It’s not the same thing, but we’ll have to think carefully about the purpose of McCarthy’s visit this time. But the matter of putting pressure on India is best left to the Americans. And it does seem that the United States is currently interested.”

Alan Wilson sobered up a little and said easily, “The Americans are happy to meddle everywhere right now, depending on to whom. Although India is not a good country, but the population area is there, especially Nehru is now feeling good about himself, and is not a very good role to deal with, it is unlikely that he will back down after two scares.”

For India, after independence has been smooth sailing, especially in recent years, a look of the Korean War I mediate, the Geneva Conference I presided over the look, the United States tolerate, the Soviet Union courtesy, the two major powers to serve India a country, this blessing is still small?

In the eyes of the Indian people, Nehru is taking India in stride towards the road of a great nation with sound and color. In this case, the general threat will not let India retreat, but will inspire the Indian people’s resentment, increase Nehru’s support rate.

And the current United Kingdom can not be bad relations with India, wait until the day India does not use the pound to settle, the United Kingdom can be justified in squeezing India, now is certainly not.

So here’s the question, the world’s most powerful democracy, and the world’s largest democracy are about to cross swords. Your delight? Alan Wilson can’t wait.

Here’s an India with a lot less help than the original historical India, an independent Yugoslavia, the leader of the Arab world, Egypt? It’s all there?

Yugoslavia’s relationship with the Soviet Union was much better than it was historically. Egypt is still under the rule of Farouk I, who claimed to be Ali Pasha on earth.

With two of the few initiators of the Non-Aligned Movement missing, Nehru would have been alone! If Alan Wilson were to analyze it, Indonesia, which was the venue provided for this Bogor conference, must have been regarded as a big help by Nehru, and Sukarno was presumably willing to add to Indonesia’s prestige.

The rest can also give Nehru to support the scene is needless to say, the current Nehru than the original history of more need China. Otherwise the Non-Aligned Movement that India pulled off would have been inferior.

At the same time that McCarthy was moonlighting as a vacationer and in fact coming over to communicate with local British forces. Washington was also talking to London, within the framework of the Anglo-American special relationship, about how to treat India.

It was just not a very good time for this, Britain was about to have a general election, and there was a strong election atmosphere now. The popular Aidan leads the Conservative Party after Churchill, unknown to outsiders, was forced into office, and this has made the Labor Party, led by Adderley, take it seriously.

As an election country in the approaching election, of course, is the election of the biggest, the Americans must also agree, or you can recall the Dewey and Truman election, the three wars of liberation, Washington can have a little reaction?

And it is like Alan Wilson thought, in the premise of Indian trade in pounds, Britain does not want to have a bad time with post-independence India, which will have a knock-on effect on the status of the pound.

With this in mind, Britain said that currently Britain no longer considered itself to be a world power, and that after the election Britain would be pulling the strings regarding how to communicate with Nehru, holding back Washington’s demands.

Soon Washington and McCarthy were, almost simultaneously, denied a request by India to attend the conference on the grounds that, “This is a meeting of newly independent nations that excludes the former colonial powers.”

“The man is arrogant, haughty, and presumptuous.” McCarthy was caught off guard by this unexpected closure, and at this point it was as if he had dreamed his way back to Congress in Washington, D.C., and wanted to immediately investigate Nehru to see if the man was credible.

Hubris! Arrogant and incomprehensible people are cursing the leader of another country, but this is his friend, Alan Wilson also as if he did not see it, thought for a moment and said, “It seems that India is really going to start a new business, the dream is really far? It’s okay for the Soviet Union to go against us, but India dares to think like that? It’s really surprising.”

In fact, he knew in his heart that India’s current behavior was also another sense of reporting to the enemy.

India’s independence was less than a decade old, and its claim now was to break out of its diplomatic isolation. It’s surprising, isn’t it, that India’s demands are similar to those of the Soviet Union and China when they were first founded, both of which were breaking out of the blockade.

It’s not hard to understand that while both the US and the USSR were tolerant of India, the US and the USSR were once upon a time loud players in the world, and India was a colony called British India.

In the world of the early fifties, although India had become independent, the originally defeated France returned to the Central and Southern Peninsula in the posture of a great power, and the United Kingdom also received the South Seas islands, and seemed to be watching the situation.

See Southeast Asia’s western powers colonial return, how can India not fear, India is extremely afraid of the western powers to restore vitality will clean up their own. The newborn India is afraid of the western powers interfering in India’s internal affairs.

At this time India desperately need to warm up, looking for some common by the imperialist cleaned up the country to embrace. This is why Nehru insisted on keeping the colonial powers out of the conference; the United States was also a colonial power, albeit with small colonies.

McCarthy also had the big question that Washington was very concerned about, which was what India thought of China, and also got an ambiguous response that loyalty was not absolute, a question that greatly displeased Washington.

Alan Wilson, of course, is well aware of Nehru’s thoughts, India wants China to draw fire in front. The same Asian powers that have just been established, China attracts more attention, India is more likely to be bored.

Especially now, the Korean War has just ended, the two sides have broken the situation, is most favorable to India. In the midst of this international environment, India’s expression of friendship to China can improve India’s international status.

Nehru was worthy of being educated in Britain and knew the way of harmonization.

Taking the newspapers advocated by the five South Asian countries, Allen Wilson understood the reason for McCarthy’s anger, one is the Soviet Union’s explicitly hardcore ally, and an Indian prime minister suspected of pro-Soviet tendencies, which put Washington on pins and needles. Not to mention that Sukarno and Nehru were behaving pretty much the same way.

Seeing McCarthy in a bad mood, Allen Wilson added without a trace, “What if we envisioned three countries, China, India and Indonesia, pulling together a group of countries that are only just becoming independent, independent of the Soviet bloc and the free world confrontation?”

“Not good, all of these countries are not in the clear with the Soviet Union.” McCarthy said without even thinking, “Alan, you’re on the front lines of the confrontation, you should know how dangerous the situation is. Don’t get such naive ideas.”

“You’re right to remind me, Joseph!” Alan Wilson secretly laughed in his heart, but still made a touched look, then sighed, “It seems like this world has gotten even more complicated.”

Obviously, the meeting organized by the five South Asian countries in Bogor, Indonesia, has caused Washington’s dissatisfaction, and even more dissatisfaction, and the U.S. in the Korean War opponent unclear.

“There is another way, the Philippines is sort of an independent country, isn’t it, and Japan desperately needs to return to the international community now. Both places the United States has extraordinary influence, let these two countries instead of the United States to get things straightened out.”

Alan Wilson still decided to help McCarthy, the two were friends after all, friends without any interests mixed in.
