Chapter 981 The Awakening of the French
“Moscow and Washington should also be asked, a little more sternly on Moscow’s side, a little more calmly on Washington’s side, with the questioning of Moscow expressing feelings of concern about the upsetting of the balance. That’s about it.”
Alan Wilson gave the advice of mending fences, but with a sinking feeling in his heart that Moscow and Washington would probably not answer back, except as a warning to the De Gaulle government in Paris.
Geographically the Soviet Union dominated, in terms of national power the United States is still the world’s first, the British little donkey is still in an awkward position.
Perhaps now Moscow and Washington think that the advantage is in my it, kick Britain out of the two countries to get to gain more benefits.
Not long Dixon was called in, according to the foreign minister’s professional instructions, respectively, and the United States, the Soviet Union and France to get in touch with the three countries.
And Dixon left at the same time Allen Wilson, refused the proposal to stay here, helplessly said, “Basra has the Mountbatten Group’s hotel, I can only stay there.”
“The permanent undersecretary and his wife had this verbal agreement?” Dixon was envious, this is the life of the rich, right?
“Yes, in fact it would be a bit more convenient if I were in Dubai, the local Mountbatten Tower is unfinished but the hotel facilities are a bit better.” Alan Wilson mentioned the supporting facilities that were being promoted in conjunction with the air terminal project, “It’s not far anyway, just call and I’ll come right over.”
To be honest, he didn’t think the Iranian problem was entirely bad, or even good. It simply couldn’t be dragged out today if history was followed.
The British power had been excluded five years ago, and to be able to delay the situation until today, he could afford the British Empire.
The good side also lies in the fact that the Labor Party, if it wants to use the diplomatic work of the breakthrough, to win the election victory. But by the United States so inserted a cylinder, if this leads to election defeat?
Others he does not know, Harold Wilson as the current Foreign Secretary, and the historical record is to lead the Labor Party to win four elections, directly leading to the peak of the Labor Party in power, if because of the U.S. this time the action of defeat?
Then wait until one day when Harold Wilson makes a comeback, will he remember what the United States did today? You know that for politicians, the election is the most important thing, Harold Wilson later promoted to become the Prime Minister?
From a private point of view, Iran’s oil profits are the profits of British Petroleum, really can not guarantee the damage is the British Petroleum, Mountbatten Oil Company in Iran is not interested in entanglement, in the United Kingdom can still cover the colonies and protectorates, is the Mountbatten Group deep cultivation of the place, such as what the Kuwaiti, Qatar and so on the Emirate.
This time if Iran was determined not to be nice, it would only hit his wife’s rivals, but would instead raise Mountbatten Oil’s advantage over BP.
“What took you so long?” A black-robed Hedy Lamarr expressed her displeasure softly, pointing to the bathroom, “Put the water on, it’s so hot here in Basra, cool off.”
Alan Wilson hmmmed, took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom, the robe on Hedy Lamarr came off with it, and went in together, back and forth, one person washing is always less convenient than two.
“Can’t you Brits handle Iran yet?” Hedy Lamarr, curled up in the man’s arms afterward, lit a cigarette and took a drag before passing it to the man behind her.
“An Iran can handle it, but the country behind Iran can’t.” Holding a cigarette with the fragrance of Hedy Lamarr’s lips, Allen Wilson shook his head and said, “The international situation is not as simple as it appears, an enemy is an enemy, an enemy may also be a friend, and a friend is sometimes an enemy.”
Alan Wilson sighed secretly, or Britain’s national power can not cover, this is the root cause. Originally, the Suez Canal War opportunity to reveal, but used all means to finally appease Egypt, only to avoid that war to make Britain embarrassed.
In fact, Egypt’s problems have not been solved, and the same as the previous Iranian oil crisis, the same is only delayed. It’s just that this mine shouldn’t explode anytime soon considering the Aswan Dam’s construction schedule.
Also have to say that this time period of the hair, but also really let the United Kingdom is very difficult, if it is the Vietnam War has been fully fought, the United Kingdom completely restored the internal cycle of the imperial preferential system, the United Kingdom can even be reversed to threaten the United States. Rediscover some of the self-esteem of being a father.
But now Britain is naturally restored, but not fully restored, the Vietnam War has not yet begun, the environment to counter the United States does not exist, for the United States, the time to strike was seized.
The head of the family ran into difficulties, Hedy Lamarr had no other choice but to focus on the logistics of the job.
How was she to know that Alan Wilson didn’t take the Iran issue seriously at all, that the pot was the Foreign Secretary’s, and I’m sure the Foreign Secretary will remember this obstacle on his journey into politics, and remember it fondly.
Now there is only one thing to be sure of, is it the Americans who are up to no good, and if it is, that’s just wonderful.
Allen Wilson put on a poker face, but only to get a more favorable deal with Hedy Lamarr.
“Am I not the most beautiful woman you’ve ever owned?” Hedy Lamarr, who was as sweaty as if she had been fished out of the water, stuck to Allen Wilson like an octopus and softly inquired in his ear.
“Of course!” In this situation, Allen Wilson can’t say that there is still Garbo, full of sincerity responded to the greeting of the first vase in history, limited to the face value words, he absolutely didn’t lie, just that the face value he wants is only one of the items. Body size, identity, age and so on all have to be taken into account.
Alan Wilson at this time deeply British Empire once again encountered a crisis, as a senior official he was unable to do anything, can only go back to find the opportunity to find his sister-in-law to sit on a few rockets, to complete the mission of manned spaceflight counted as an atonement in order to pay back the guilt.
He can’t do anything to help, and anyway, the responsibility for what went wrong is the Foreign Secretary’s, so what responsibility can a humble public servant of society have?
Maybe it would be good for Britain, and one day Harold Wilson would move into 10 Downing Street and hopefully remember today’s embarrassment.
While Alan Wilson was completing his manned space mission, the Foreign Office and MI6 in London were already busy.
The Foreign Office was in constant contact with Washington, Moscow and Paris, while MI6 was tasked with finding out who was up to no good.
At such a moment, Iran’s outburst made Prime Minister Adderley also take notice, he was hoping to be able to open the election with a breakthrough in diplomacy, pulling up support, but this kind of thing happened.
Received the British diplomatic action of the country, the most important is still France, to be precise, de Gaulle, now the problem of Iran seems to be the United Kingdom to suffer, but in fact will eventually affect France. Both Britain and France were colonial powers, and were themselves in a position of alternate cover after the war; someone could do that to Britain, and naturally to France.
Since coming to power, Charles de Gaulle first had to deal with the legacy of the Fourth Republic, such as the chaotic political situation. The last six months have been dominated by this, as well as pacifying the Algerian garrison.
At the same time, de Gaulle was still thinking about whether to continue to preserve the whole of French Africa, depending on the attitude of the French army in Algeria, de Gaulle was inclined to take a last-ditch effort to try to preserve French interests in Africa.
But at this time the British encountered trouble in the Middle East, is undoubtedly a wake-up call to France, whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States of America to play a trick, today to be able to sideline the United Kingdom, the future can be wiped out of the influence of France, their own influence pushed back to French Africa.
Paris is a city of romance, now in shape, and it screams of a flavor one has never tasted before. At a cocktail party for singles, the balcony collapsed due to overcrowding, and when people heard about it, they were glad they hadn’t gone up there, but were eating salads and pecan pralines in the communal housing.
Many singles strolled along the paths with drunken faces or forlorn looks, looking for companionship, looking for someone to talk to, hitting on someone, wanting to take advantage of the last chance to get back on the ferry on Sunday night, to catch something they hadn’t been able to find all weekend in the five minutes before they got into their cars; all of these people were content to feel that they had each other for companionship.
Male and female adoration is fun and intense, and the beauty of it is that it’s always covered up and hoped that no one is in the house. The best part is that after they know it, they can stay together as long as they want.
How did these men and women know that the situation facing the country was far from stable in the eyes of the truly great.
It was at this time that Georges Pidoule traveled through the City of Romance to Charles de Gaulle. Essentially at this particular time, France was in fact a military junta, with de Gaulle having supreme authority, and the attributes of the state seemed at odds with the hormones erupting in the teenage boys.
“The difficulties of the British are the same difficulties that France has to face. If it’s the Soviets who are up to something then there’s nothing to say, the Soviets have a reason to do it. But if it’s the Americans, Washington can treat even Britain like this, and will only treat France more excessively in the future.”
After listening to de Gaulle put things into perspective, Georges Pidoule said in no uncertain terms, “There can be no more hesitation, the problem is now Britain’s, but one day it will be France’s.”
“True enough.” De Gaulle stood up and walked over to the window, “But we have a problem we can’t turn a blind eye to. Right now there is a NATO, mainly American, presence in France. There will be no solution to the Algerian problem until that problem is solved.”
“Char, this is indeed a big problem.” Georges Pidoule expressed his support saying, “We expel the American troops directly?”
“It can’t be that direct, just tell Washington that France is not happy with its current position in NATO, or at least the British treatment, France can’t accept its current subordinate position.” General de Gaulle said this and continued, “If the United States does not agree, then it would be logical for us to withdraw from NATO. It would also be logical.”
