Small countries can have both sides, but big countries cannot, especially from the perspective of the United States, they cannot do things halfway.

If the United States gave up its support for Iran just because of a meeting between the heads of Britain and France, and was indifferent to Germany's sanctions, would anyone still listen to what the United States said in the future?

"Before the outbreak of the World War, Britain and France were reluctant to provoke Germany, but in the end they declared war on Germany. Some things seem to have many choices, but in fact the choice is the only one."

Dulles solemnly stated his views. If the United States backs down halfway this time, the potential consequences will be that Britain and France will be more confident in the next confrontation, and that it will be difficult for the United States to establish its own world order. Getting bigger, bigger than this time for sure.

Iran is watching how the U.S. reacts, and Germany is watching how the U.S. reacts. The result of Iran's disappointment is that many countries that belong to the sphere of influence of Britain and France will not have hope for the United States to intervene in the local situation.

And Germany's disappointment will lead to Germany, a strong country in Europe, taking the lead in the United Kingdom and France. In this way, the influence of the United States in Europe will certainly decline to a certain extent.

"Dulles, visit Paris and London to explain our position." Seeing Dulles' face changing greatly, Eisenhower explained calmly, "Our position will not change, but we need to communicate. action."

The United States pretended to value the attitude of Britain and France, which is what Eisenhower meant. As for the attitude of the United States on the Iranian oil crisis, of course, it has not changed.

Later in the day, Washington officially announced its view on the ongoing Iranian oil crisis, expressing the determination of the United States to continue to play a useful role, while taking care of the interests of its traditional allies and coming up with an appropriate plan to satisfy all parties.

The former is a reassurance for Iran, while the latter is to appease Britain's mood.

With the blessing of modern technology, this statement quickly reached the ears of British Prime Minister Aiden in Paris.

Will the United States take advantage of this? Facing such a view, Alan Wilson replied blankly, "Hopefully, we are still looking forward to engaging with the United States."

Will the United States change its view? Alan Wilson is hopeless, for the same reasons as Dulles.

It can be said that Britain in World War I did not expect the tragic consequences of modern warfare. Before World War II, Britain had fully anticipated it, otherwise it would not have demonstrated a policy of appeasement to avoid war.

The UK seems to have many choices, but when Germany is the dominant player in Europe, the only choice before the UK is the only choice, even if it is brave enough to go to war.

The problem with Churchill was that he expended almost as much power as the Soviet Union and gained nothing. I don't know where the huge military spending is going.

In any case, the United States is willing to talk, which is a good thing for the United Kingdom. The time it takes to go back and forth will also prolong the diplomatic friction this time. If the result does not satisfy the United Kingdom, it can also invite the Soviet Union to solve this problem together.

The Iran issue can be entangled with the United States for a long time, and there are benefits for the United Kingdom. If the United Kingdom cannot fight for its own interests when the Iranian issue has the influence of the Soviet Union, then the United Kingdom will face the United States alone in other places. Difficulties.

After all, the Vietnam War has not yet started. If the United States wants to target the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom will have a hard time even if it can withstand it.

For now, being able to get a response from the United States to talk about when visiting France is enough to satisfy Eden. This time the diplomatic performance is very satisfactory to the Prime Minister. Now he can go home and wait for de Gaulle's return visit.

Alan Wilson asked for instructions to stay in Paris for a few days and observe the follow-up in France, which has absolutely nothing to do with Heidi Lamar's invitation to watch the opera. This request was approved by the Prime Minister.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the performance hall of the Amusement Theater was still empty. Only in the lobby and the front seat of the main hall, a few early-arriving audience members were waiting for the performance to begin. In the velvet-covered seat, the curtain was shrouded in darkness, like a large red speck.

The stage was silent, the rows of footlights went out, and the musicians' music stands were scattered.

Only in the private room upstairs, there were bursts of clamor, mixed with cries and laughter, and under the large round windows with golden frames sat some spectators, wearing toques or caps, round arches on the ceiling. Around the top, some women and naked children are painted in a very French style, flying in the sky, and the sky is green under the light.

From time to time a female usher appeared, with a ticket stub in her hand, busy ushering a gentleman and a lady walking ahead of her to their seats. The man was wearing a suit, and the woman was tall and had a tall chest. She just wore a headscarf and large sunglasses, and glanced around slowly.

The two were silent for a moment, then looked up at the darkened box. However, because the green paper was pasted on the wall of the box, it looked even darker inside. Looking down, the box downstairs was hidden in darkness.

On the left and right sides of the stage, the boxes between the tall pillars were empty. Pendants with long fringes hang from the outside walls of the box. The golden and white hall is set off with tender green, and under the dim light of the crystal chandelier, the air seems to be filled with fine dust.

"It's like being a thief." Heidi Rama, who took off her sunglasses, complained of dissatisfaction, "If you have to dress up like this at night, others will think I'm blind."

"Sacrifice, my dear." Alan Wilson kissed Heidi Rama's cheek. "When you accompany me overseas, you even wore an Arabian robe."

"I've never been so accommodating to a man." Heidi Rama snorted softly and leaned into the man's arms. "During the war, one lip print of mine could raise 20 million dollars in donations."

"Understood, if you played the queen, I would be willing to kill Snow White for you." Alan Wilson had a good attitude, and immediately tasted the red lips worth 20 million US dollars, and it was worth the money.

Ellen Wilson also has diplomatic work in Paris, not just to take the female president to the rocket.

This issue is the Cameroon issue. Cameroon was originally a German colony. After Germany's defeat in World War I, its overseas colonies were entrusted by Britain and France.

This year, France's trusteeship period has come, but because Cameroon was managed by Britain and France separately at that time, French Cameroon has a large area, while British Cameroon has a small area. Once French Cameroon becomes independent, it will also affect the existence of British Cameroon.

You must know that Cameroon and Nigeria are neighbors, and now the elite class in Nigeria is dominated by Igbo people. Even the advantages of the Igbo people are better than the original history, because the oil in the Gulf of Guinea has been developed by European countries, and the development of the Niger delta where the Igbo people live is also continuing. The Igbo people occupy a considerable part of the Nigerian Dominion The advantages.

From the perspective of the United Kingdom, this advantage should be weakened. The Igbo people are a cross-border ethnic group, and it is said that the ethnic group is a bit exalted. The Igbo elite have the concept of ethnicity, which does not mean that the majority of ordinary people also have it.

The best way to weaken the advantages of the Igbo people is to let the overall population have the disadvantage. Then the Igbo people of British Cameroon should not rely on British rule to merge with Nigeria, but should either become independent or merge with Cameroon.

The United Kingdom cannot artificially split Cameroon into two parts. After the end of the trusteeship period, it is what the United Kingdom should do as a responsible power to protect the sovereignty and integrity of Cameroon.

This is also the consistent philosophy of the United Kingdom. It is easy to manage the merger of colonies, rather than the priority of division and rule that has not been implemented for a long time.

In the Elysee Palace, France, de Gaulle still slept, and was having a long conversation with Georges Pidouer and several generals in military uniforms. The matters discussed determine the length of the existence of the world's first colonial power, and this throne also exists for France. It has been more than ten years~lightnovelpub.net~ since the independence of British India.

France, which can climb to the peak of colonialism, must also experience the fact that the colonial era has passed, and now France must adopt the same contractionary policy as the United Kingdom.

"It is extremely difficult for France to maintain its current investment in Africa. Especially when the war in Algeria continues." De Gaulle persuaded Georges Pidouer in a sincere tone, "George, shrink our strength back. Otherwise, all will be required. We can’t hold it, once the United States treats France like this on the Iran issue, we don’t have a Soviet Union to step on the United States.”

The interests of the Soviet Union exist in northern Iran, which is why the United Kingdom is unwilling to let go. Although the British did not say it, how could France, also a colonial country, not see it.

"The contraction is not about withdrawing from Africa, but about maintaining French interests. We can even do better than the United Kingdom." De Gaulle told his thoughts, "We still need to keep some important areas in our hands. Yes. Africa's ability to intervene will not disappear with colonial independence."

De Gaulle's meaning has been very clear, learning from the British handing over the violently rebellious colonies to the hands of the local elites who are assured of the revolt, so as to reduce the investment, all the military power is invested in Algeria, and whether the natural extension of France in Africa can be preserved depends on the ability of the military. The rebels cannot be slaughtered.

"Okay! There is no other way." George Pidour sighed, "Then let's move forward with the independence process."

Several of the generals present also nodded and exchanged glances with each other. The so-called contraction of France is to put all the power of other colonies into Algeria. Whether they can win depends on them.
