Chapter 991: Nonsense
“We could exaggerate, France’s move to take back the Mediterranean fleet as a way to talk to the Americans.” Alan Wilson suggested after a moment of contemplation, “It might boost the current administration’s support.”
“Alan, can you go into more detail.” Harold Wilson opened his mouth to urge, at the mention of approval ratings the Foreign Secretary was not sleepy, stating that since you can talk you can tell us more.
“We use this to hold the United States hostage for a bit, stating that we should give up some of our selfish ideas when there is internal trouble in the free world. Take a softer response to France. That would be an incentive for British citizens, regardless of what Washington thinks for a start, especially during this time of the Iranian crisis, to make voters think that Britain can get the United States on Britain’s side to solve the Iranian problem.”
Why did Alan Wilson previously suggest getting tough on the Iranian oil crisis and dragging it out for as long as possible. Wasn’t he just waiting for France to pull out of NATO and involve the US?
Now he is finally waiting for France’s big move, then in the British point of view should take advantage of the situation and improvise. No one can see the future, diplomacy is to improvise, the vast majority of the time, there is no country to develop a long-term foreign policy.
However, Alan Wilson has the real history in his mind as a comparison, with the traditional British foreign policy, hoping to achieve the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
The clock is ticking into 1959, and now it doesn’t even need to be guessed by the Conservative Party, even the voters know that there is going to be a general election this year, the difference is just in which month it officially starts.
Standing in the Labor Party’s point of view, if you can through the French move, blackmail the United States to give up support for Iran is certainly the best.
It would also be good for Britain if the U.S. was unmoved, still one-sidedly ignoring British interests, and inciting up a certain amount of anti-American sentiment. Just think if France expelled NATO. What if the US came back to talk to the UK to open up its bases?
It’s not impossible, once the US has achieved its goal, now that the UK doesn’t have bases and the US is all for Iran on the Iranian crisis, wouldn’t the British Empire be torn apart if US troops were allowed in?
If the voters are incited to support the UK, and when the time comes the US is still firmly behind Iran, and the UK voters know about it? Even if the Labor Party had to step down, the new Conservative Party coming up wouldn’t budge on the issue.
Of course stirring up voter sentiment is a technical job, and Alan Wilson must be careful. Still, in front of the Foreign Secretary, he was full of confidence, as if this was the only cure to save Labor’s support.
Almost at the same time, in the Cabinet Secretary’s office in Whitehall, Norman Brooke took a report from Alan Wilson assessing France’s diplomatic moves, “There is a remote possibility that France will expel the NATO garrison in France. In the event that this happens, if NATO will have to leave France, Britain must avoid being duped by American rhetoric ……”
Conversations with the Foreign Secretary can be reticent and unpractical, but a report to the Cabinet Secretary will have to bring out something dry.
Alan Wilson has to boost his reliability to prove I’m one of us. Naturally there are different trade-offs between politicians and his own people. What France might say about withdrawing from NATO can’t be told to a minister, but it can be told to the Supreme Authority.
“The free world is far more powerful than the Soviet Union and could unite beyond measure to bring it down, but if the victor is only one America? Victory is meaningless if the glory cannot be shared, but the United States is also weakening us and France at every turn, and it would be good to have France at the front of the line, sharing the pressure on us.”
At the end of the paragraph referring to France’s possible heartfelt withdrawal from NATO, Allen Wilson does not hide his nastiness at all.
What unity of the free world is all talk, and if possible, the United States and the Soviet Union die together. My Great Britain is extremely sublimated, restoring the realm of the British Empire and suppressing all enemies in the world is the best result.
As for manipulating public opinion, the Home Office is the connoisseur, and at this moment it is up to the Home Office’s esteemed Lord Sheffield to do so.
“You know, Alan, we are in a party-neutral perspective, and this mistake cannot be made.” Makins was righteously indignant, and seemed to have misjudged Ai Zhongtang, not realizing that his best friend was such a person.
“Julian’s project in Australia? Uh-huh?” Alan Wilson lowered his voice while pouring a glass for the honorable Lord Sheffield, “Principles are certainly not to be overstepped, we all agree on that. But the national interest may be damaged by not reacting to France’s move to take a stand on the withdrawal of the Mediterranean advance. Do you really want BP to be expelled from Iran when you have such a good relationship with them?”
“Wow. You seem to be eating me up.” Makins squeezed his wine glass and leveled a look at his Foreign Office colleague.
Alan Wilson shrugged indifferently, or what? “When personal and national interests coincide, what’s there to hesitate about? The ruling party needs support, and we want public opinion to support Britain’s move to defend its rights so that BP can retain its interests for many years.”
More distant interests, such as contributing to Britain’s suspicion of the United States, preventing the Tories from coming to power after a change of government and being brainwashed by a Washington lathering of Anglo-American special relationship rhetoric into foolishly opening up the territory of the United Kingdom for military bases?
This is all still hypothetical, not that Allen Wilson did not tell the other side, he is so honest, if Makins asked he would have been in a position to say it, but the other side did not ask, it can not be helped.
“We’re all patriots.” Makins thought for half a second and made an excuse for his own behavior.
“Of course, we’re the ones who have been guarding this country.” Alan Wilson raised his glass and offered to clink it with Makins, “Any slightest nuance in Britain nowadays would be dangerous.”
With a thud, Makins drained his whiskey in one gulp and agreed, “Like BP now.”
“To reliable government passed down from generation to generation.” Alan Wilson muttered happily to himself.
“To the national interest.” Makins inquired heartily, “Lately is seems to be very spare.”
“Occasionally, Pamela has good news that she’s going to go to Perth to nurse her baby, considering factors such as the objective effect of ambient daylight on mood.” Alan Wilson had a look of dismay on his face, “Maybe I’m going to be alone for a while.”
Although a thousand reluctance, Alan Wilson still want to send his wife on the plane, after all, that the beautiful environment, although only stops in the Perth surrounding area, in order to the next generation to thrive, Alan Wilson can not be so selfish, all the father’s love first.
Until his wife and a pair of children took off, Alan Wilson was reluctant to leave the airport.
Every other day held a plum deer to find Hepburn, to give Hepburn as a pet.
“How about calling Ebby?” Hepburn loved it, like a hundred flowers blooming between smiles, “What a cute little guy.”
“What a great name.” Alan Wilson, of course, didn’t know what was so good about it, but since it was the naming of a bulb flower, good was right, “I envy the lucky little guy who was able to find a mother of high character and compassion.”
“I’m not that good either la.” Hepburn was embarrassed, unaware that the man beside her was using his PUA skills again.
She felt empty inside, like an empty plate that had held a delicious pastry and now only had a few crumbs left. She tried to find some ready-made food, but the pantry was empty, nothing.
All that was left in the refrigerator was some flour and beans, except for corn that would make delicious unleavened cakes. But with just those ingredients, a little imagination and a heart, you could still make a pretty good meal.
But it was a good thing this man had come along and made fun of her living situation, as if he had conjured up a hearty lunch out of thin air, “That’s what home is like.”
For some reason, Hepburn felt a thick sadness hidden in the man’s eyes, especially when he had just felt it, and couldn’t help but inquire quietly, “What about her?” She was naturally asking about the female president of the Mountbatten Group, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten.
“Took the child to Australia.” Ellen Wilson forced a smile and said with a choked sob, “I can’t control her, I hope she has fun this time, at least let the child be happy.”
The so-called life is like a play all depends on acting, although Hepburn is an Oscar winner, but it does not mean that the senior Whitehall officials are worse. The same rich emotion, the same voice. When the trembling palms of the hands with the ball flower carcass, the scene of the main drama has just begun.
A poll showed that because of the position of the United States on the Iranian oil crisis, which has led to more than fifty percent of British citizens being dissatisfied with the U.S. The Conservative Party blames the blame solely on Labour’s handling of the issue too roughly, but also recognizes that it should have taken a tough stance on Iran.
“Leeward, it’s all rumors, a ham-fisted attempt by some newspapers to irresponsibly garner attention. As you know, the environment of the free world allows a very small voice to be amplified. That’s what makes us different from the Soviet bloc, but that’s what democracy is.”
Alan Wilson downplayed it in front of the American ambassador to Britain, who was accompanying the Great British Treasure to see his son, David, today, and if he didn’t hurry up, he might give the National Treasure the wrong idea and bring about an unnecessary conflict.
“The United States a all value the voice of Britain, but on some issues, it seems to be less than unanimous, but the United States is not willing to quarrel with Britain and even France, it will only make the enemies of the free world happy.” Leeward spoke sincerely, “You don’t know what kind of gloating Soviet Pravda has expressed about the recent state of affairs.”
“You still read Pravda?” Alan Wilson pulled down his eyelids with a look that judged whether this American ambassador was reliable or not, and kept looking up and down, although he himself read it and did not miss an issue, but he had a purpose, what was this American’s purpose?
