Chapter 956: Britain in the Dark

It can be said to be a crowd pleaser, especially when looking at the vocal French Communist Party for comparison, Alan Wilson was full of sighs and a complexity flashed across his face, which fell in the eyes of Ingrid Bergman, the shadow queen was full of confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“France any more, also found a person who can rely on.” Alan Wilson said this closed his mouth.

Ingrid Bergman thought back carefully, is not just a leader? Can’t Britain find a leader?

Still really can’t find, Allen Wilson after years of tossing and turning, and now take a look at the United States across the Atlantic, still feel that the accumulation of this rebellious son, unfathomable.

If you compare the hegemony of Britain and the United States, the British Empire is of course the greater one, but the United States is the stronger one.

Of course the US this stronger, generally with what North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq such countries set off, and Britain successively Spain, the Netherlands, France, Imperial Russia, Germany. By the way knocked over the Ottoman, Qing Dynasty, colonized South Asia’s war record can not be compared.

If Britain’s fighting strength is one hundred, the prowl can at least play out ninety-five. If the United States has a fighting strength of two hundred, it is considered a good performance to be able to bring out seventy when it comes to a strong enemy.

The United States of America for the free world, that is, everyone thinks it is very strong, but when it comes to critical moments, the United States will not be able to convince the public, a standard World Cup qualifying king, but unfortunately, for Britain and France, facing the United States of America happens to be in the United States of America’s comfort zone.

It’s like Britain attacking the Qing dynasty while being all but wiped out in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Daoguang was able to scare the pants off the pacifist states of Central Asia. The U.S. stumbled against less powerful nations, but happened to be in a position to steadily eat Britain and France.

France had de Gaulle’s leadership, and there was a public opinion in France to really turn the tables on the US when it mattered.

But Britain has such public opinion? Even if there is public opinion that is not willing to be a little brother, it depends on what the politicians think.

Allen Wilson was setting the stage for France to get tough on Algeria from the moment it withdrew from Vietnam.

The reason for this was a step toward what he foresaw as a suspicion, which of course was never confirmed.

That was whether Britain and France, when it came to the colonies, were really diametrically opposed, with France being tough on retaining the colonies and Britain just being completely laissez faire and being as independent as it liked.

From history Alan Wilson could discern that the so-called African Independence Year was actually the French African Independence Year.

And the British colonies in Africa generally became independent later than the French. This was especially true of the contiguous colony of British East Africa.

British sorts called for France to deal with the colonies on its own during the Algerian War.

Did he himself have the mentality of secretly observing from the sidelines and formulating colonial policy through the outcome of the war.

Alan Wilson believes there was, and Britain should have recognized that the resistance in Africa was not strong, at least within Britain’s reach, but was still waiting to see if France, which used military force to suppress Algeria, would succeed in keeping the colony that was most important to France.

Historically, the French eventually retreated from Algeria, and in the same year that Algeria became independent, the independence agenda for British East Africa was set in motion, and in the following years British East Africa disappeared from Africa along with the French colonies.

But what if France had put down the Algerian revolt? Would Britain have been indifferent, watching a land so close to the French mainland become part of France, and left the colony in its hands to become independent?

The history of memory is that Britain officially announced in 1968 that it was withdrawing from all military bases in Africa. By this time the Algerian war had been over for six years.

Having watched France’s repressive strategy fail, Britain decided not to repeat the same mistake on the same issue.

This was Allen Wilson’s guess, but he felt that the telos from the timing of African independence made sense.

What followed was a constant search for ways to strengthen French confidence and to provide facilities.

This guess if not correct? Then Britain will be in big trouble in the future, France that swallowed Algeria is not something that Britain can fight against with the British Isles.

But if the bet is right, the success of the French suppression will also be Britain’s great confidence, the root cause is still above the outcome of the Algerian War, success and failure, may cause more than just for France.

De Gaulle succeeded in getting the power that could be transformed on the French polity, now he could mold the new France according to his own ideas, the British gentleman who was secretly observing, was also ready to call home, his mission in Paris was over.

He also wanted de Gaulle to come to power on the first day, and the next day the whole country mobilized to swat Algeria. But the real world after all is not cool, de Gaulle still have a bunch of things to do, just as Alan Wilson also just took office, but also more diplomatic work to feel.

Did not encounter the problem at hand, the later view of history will only feel that he will deal with it than drinking water is still simple, drag a few terms in turn to adjust the past that everyone can five years to level Liao.

Really face this kind of environment that affects the whole body, which is so simple?

Think of course, but Alan Wilson took a phone call, but still honestly went to Greta Garbo’s apartment, just as a good boy.

“I’d like to discuss my son’s future education with you.” Routinely giving the man a deep kiss, Greta Garbo sat Allen Wilson down and opened her mouth to ask for her partner’s opinion.

“That’s my son too.” Alan Wilson muttered disgruntledly, why couldn’t he see the Queen of Silent Movies looking like the old lady was doing just fine living on her own?

“That’s a very manly thing to say!” Greta Garbo glanced at Alan Wilson and asked back, unperturbed, “Would you dare to openly admit that he’s your son? You wouldn’t dare, I’m twenty years older than you, other people would think you’re sick, and even if there wasn’t an age gap, an illegitimate child would be detrimental to your career.”

Alan Wilson opened his mouth and admitted that Greta Garbo was right, he really didn’t have Macron’s courage.

“Well, as the father of the child, you give me a little professional advice on what would be a more appropriate place to choose for his educational problems, originally I think Paris is actually okay, but this year Paris is a little too chaotic, I still want the child to be able to finish teaching without interference.” Greta Garbo also sort of took a step back and acknowledged the fact that her son’s father is the man in front of her, “Actually, sending him back to Stockholm would be a very good option, but it hasn’t been decided yet.”

“The education teachers must keep up, the money aspect is not a problem, the key is to educate the child well.” Alan Wilson wanted to say send it to London, and when the words came to his mouth, Greta Garbo seemed to see what was going on and directly vetoed it.

The Queen of Silent Film felt that it was not good to have contact with Alan Wilson before the child grew up, and it was better for the father to show up, but not to show up as a father, than to just not show up at all.

“Sweden is also wealthy and is considered strong among the Scandinavian countries. The faculty is also in good condition.” Alan Wilson shook his head, “I was going to say that it’s inconvenient to visit, but when I thought about it, I’ve only seen him a few times when he still doesn’t remember.”

“You can rest assured of that, I’ll tell him when he comes of age.” Greta Garbo was as comforting as ever, “if I am alive at that time.”

In the presence of ladies on equal footing with his wife, Allen Wilson was only able to feel with Greta Garbo that he was really and truly a pure tool man. Almost never did he feel needed!

“You make me wonder if my worth is equal to a ****.” Alan Wilson threw a smelly face of dissatisfaction.

“More comfortable than a ****.” Greta Garbo glanced at Allen Wilson with the goddess’ eyes that she had shown in numerous movies, and her tone became teasing, “If you have time, stay here tonight.”

“Are you going back to Sweden too? It might not be so easy for me to see you.” Alan Wilson snapped a little lost.

“That’s kinda my problem, I’ve been living alone for too long and don’t have many connections.” Greta Garbo also said frankly, “Maybe some childcare staff, you’ll have to help me arrange that.”

Wilson brand **** still found the value of existence, is to leave the apartment when some weak legs, “go to the United States Hollywood persona is a sportsman, the American judgment is really right ……”

Preparing to return to London, Alan Wilson, spent the last night in the movie company, by Hedy Lamarr, each a deep kiss, before dragging his tired body to embark on the return journey.

God forbid, he had gone back to the movie studio because he wanted to ask if the two of them needed any help with their children’s education.

Ready to do his fatherly duty, it turned out that the father’s duty had been deferred for the time being, and the husband’s duty was being done to the best of his ability first.

“Bring me information on the question of the Falkland Islands, on all the claims made by the Argentine side in recent years.”

Back at the Foreign Office building, Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson had not yet returned, presumably talking and laughing with King Farouk I of Egypt, enjoying the charms of the Egyptian pyramids, a famous structure whose history of civil science has been repeatedly questioned.

Similarly newly appointed Alan Wilson, then began to enter the stage of full familiarization with the diplomatic work, he wanted to spend two or three decades, so that the Argentine government has a set impression that Britain will not be because of the loss of the Falkland Islands to react.

Granted that Alan Wilson may have apologized to the expectations of British citizens for envisioning the future in this way, but the formulation of policy has never had anything to do with whether or not the majority of the nation supports it or not.

In the formulation of the policy of the Falkland Islands, he is still waiting for the return of the Foreign Secretary, feel the bottom of the Foreign Secretary, in the end, on the issue of the colony is how to think, must take out an attitude. By the way, to see if it can confirm Alan Wilson, on the outcome of the Algerian War, will determine the British colonial strategy speculation.
