Chapter 1257 France Looking East
,
There is a dilemma before Alan Wilson. Should he include South Vietnam affairs in this report?
In view of the developments that are favorable to Britain in the eyes of the Cabinet Secretary, South Vietnam should have a place, but what attitude should be adopted? It is too obvious to encourage, but it is just a narrative? Might as well not include the South Vietnamese content.
After thinking for a long time, Alan Wilson decided to do the opposite. He believed that before the Vietnam War began, countless people from all walks of life in the United States and even European politicians must have warned the United States not to go to war. But in the end, the United States went to war without hesitation.
Could it be that one more voice of kind reminder from Alan Wilson would stop Americans from fighting? There are so many think tanks and politicians who can't stop things. How can he, a British person, have such a big reputation?
"In view of the special social environment in Asia and the experience and lessons of the French, we should adopt a conservative attitude towards South Vietnam. If we can use assistance to promote the development of South Vietnam, this is what the free world is good at." Alan Wilson carefully The examiner's name is Indonesian Investigation, but it is actually a document that diverts misfortune. He is thinking about whether he should be particular about the wording.
Although he hoped that the Vietnam War would start as early as possible, he could not show it clearly. The final choice still lies in the hands of the United States, even the US military.
Comparing the memories in his mind, Alan Wilson clearly understands what will happen if the United States loses the war, drug abuse, hippies, ***, etc., the Soviet Union launches a global offensive, the Japanese Red Army, the West German Red Army, the Italian Red Brigades appear one after another, and How could one forget the IRA?
In the 1970s and 1980s, even many Americans believed that the United States would become the losing side in the Cold War.
This is the consequence of defeating the war in person, so the United States was right to betray Ukraine in the Ukrainian war. Russia's victory or defeat in the Ukrainian war has no impact on the United States. But if the United States ends up, let alone defeat, it won't matter if it doesn't win beautifully.
In the final analysis, the foundations of the two sides are completely different. Russia has been at the bottom after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. However, as the winner of the Cold War, the United States is not like this. The president of the earth is very happy.
With great restraint, Alan Wilson pretended to be a pacifist without conscience, saying that the best solution to the situation in South Vietnam was to benefit the South Vietnam more. He was looking for 20 million fathers for the United States. This The matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
"The Americans must listen to my advice." Finally completing the ideological core of this Five Eyes Alliance exchange, Alan Wilson was very proud. If there were more people like him in the world, where would there be? What kind of war? For a moment, the Cabinet Secretary felt like black angel wings appeared behind him.
He called Richard White to come to Whitehall and solemnly handed over the results of his hard work to the head of MI6. "Maintaining unity with the United States is very important to Britain."
Although it was based on correct evidence and came to a wrong conclusion, it is still quite informative. The only thing that may make Americans uncomfortable is that some of the wording may make Americans feel uncomfortable. Americans hate the way the British treat the United States. Think of yourself as a Roman while speaking like a Greek. His wording this time was very much like a Greek chattering in front of a Roman.
Richard White looked at the supreme authority who had already picked up the wolfberry cup and said, "The Secretary General is not participating directly this time?"
"My old friend Dulles has retired, there is no need to participate." Alan Wilson felt quite sentimental. His old friends were withering away like leaves in the wind. He had already somewhat experienced the Prime Minister's sentiments.
By the time Richard White left, Alan Wilson was contemplating, and the finishing work on the Indonesian affairs was finally over. As for the nine intelligence agents who had unfortunately lost contact, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that they had nothing to do with the overall situation.
After a business trip, he had to make up for a lot of work that he had left behind. This made Alan Wilson exhausted. After the friendly condolences with Her Royal Highness, Hepburn and Porkina, the exhausted Alan Wilson could finally take a rest. , and then he unscrewed Marilyn Monroe's door.
With Marilyn Monroe's delicate body in his arms, Alan Wilson entered the sage's time and was mentally empty. He now regrets a little and shouldn't have provoked this woman. The main reason is that he is no longer young and does not look like the age he was in New Delhi. Anyway Spend your youth and wake up feeling energetic.
"Last time you said that the Kennedy brothers wanted to kill me?" Marilyn Monroe twisted her body, but couldn't help but ask the question in her heart. She stared at the man's face, as if she wanted to see whether it was true or false.
"Before you take action, all doubts can only be guesses. But there are indeed unknown people appearing around your home." As a last resort, Alan Wilson put on the mask of a dog licker again. This is why he regrets that, even if it is acting, He is not in good condition all the time, and he gets tired after playing for a long time.
Grain
"As for you, you are also a high-ranking official. Vivian said that you are in the UK, at least no worse than JFK. One day I make you unhappy, what will you do to me?" Marilyn Monroe hugged Alan Wilson's neck Asking, "Are you like the Kennedy brothers and want to kill me?"
"No." Alan Wilson answered decisively in his heart, thinking that it depends on the situation, but this did not delay him from being decisive, "I will not do this to a woman, because I love you."
"Do it again, let me see how you love me?" Marilyn Monroe turned over and pressed on Alan Wilson, lightly opened her red lips and whispered, "Don't think I treat everyone like this."
It’s normal for cabinet secretaries to be busy at work and sometimes run out of energy, but it’s not too much of a stretch if Whitehall’s job consists of discussing trivial matters such as metric and imperial units.
The more trivial a matter is, the more likely it is that there will be no results for several years. Even the negotiations on the ban on nuclear weapons in Stockholm will have results earlier than this matter.
Alan Wilson knew that the United States would be the only one left to use imperial units in later generations, and the United Kingdom had also converted to metric units. However, thanks to the cooperation and unswerving determination of everyone in Whitehall, the United Kingdom claimed to make the switch in 1965. From the beginning to the completion in 1995, after thirty years of tortuous and repeated weighing, the best result was achieved.
"What the gentlemen said makes sense. Okay, come up with a feasibility report and let the meeting end." Alan Wilson finally returned to work through a meeting, so the meeting was still very meaningful.
Mountbatten's return route was completely opposite to his previous trip to attend the state funeral. Alan Wilson went from Washington to Perth, making a big circle. Marshal Mountbatten went to the United States after finalizing an arms sales contract with Australia.
Mountbatten believed that maintaining close ties with the Americans was crucial. After he became the Chief of Defense Staff, it was not a problem to maintain and develop relations with the Americans, because many of the military leaders there were his old comrades-in-arms and friends during the war.
When he visited the Pentagon, Mountbatten was surprised to find that all the U.S. military chiefs of staff were old friends of his. Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay and Army Chief of Staff General Wheeler had both served in the Allied Forces Command in Southeast Asia. Admiral Anderson and Mountbatten had known each other earlier. Therefore, when they talked, even though there were many differences of opinions, they could exchange opinions openly and honestly.
Mountbatten had few qualms about expressing his views in front of old friends, even though his opinions sometimes sounded harsh to them.
"I expounded my views on Indonesian and South Vietnamese affairs, but my old friends seemed reluctant to listen." Mountbatten, who returned to London to meet his son-in-law, spoke frankly about this exchange.
"Dear Marshal, you have to make money in war. Don't talk about your persuasion. Even if Kennedy is alive, it will not be effective, let alone he has been killed." Alan Wilson began to persuade his father-in-law and said, "There is a saying in the East, cannon One ring is worth ten thousand taels of gold. You are preventing our old comrades from getting rich."
In a small Afghanistan, our majestic city on the top of the mountain threw two trillion into it, which is so terrifying. It doesn't look like the British are petty. This time, Australia made a big deal and cried with joy.
If the U.S. military had not gone too far in cultivating the bandits in Afghanistan, the emperor would not have felt like this. Without the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the threat power of the United States itself would be sufficient.
But after listening to Mountbatten's words, Alan Wilson still gained something. He was still struggling with whether his wording was more direct and became a stumbling block for the US military to enter Vietnam. Now it seems that the worry is unnecessary. At least the Pentagon is determined. With the example of the Maine, there is no shortage of excuses.
"The Pentagon has also criticized the arms sales to the United Kingdom and Australia. Of course I have communicated with them." Mountbatten mentioned the arms sales. "I hope it will not damage the alliance between the two countries."
"The Americans still have time to put pressure on us?" Alan Wilson looked extremely sublime and said, "The Americans are bluffing. How should Washington think about how to face Paris?" Challenge it. Edgar Fuhr’s visit to China is enough to make Americans scratch their heads.”
"He seems to have faded out of politics." Marshal Mountbatten frowned and said, "Are the French preparing to establish diplomatic relations? De Gaulle wouldn't be so hasty, right?"
"I think it will only take two or three months, and the results will probably come after the New Year." Alan Wilson spread his hands and said, "De Gaulle's power in France is no less than that of the leaders of the Soviet system countries. Edgar "Faure's visit to China must have been approved by De Gaulle. The Americans still have time to cause trouble for us. If the United States wants the United Kingdom to balance the situation within Europe, it is best to talk to the United Kingdom calmly."
"So fast? What are the French going to do?" Mountbatten was shocked. If his son-in-law's judgment was correct, then the United States indeed had no time to quarrel with the United Kingdom, and his thoughts were attracted to the French.
