"This? We still have to think about it!" Smith was angry when he saw Alan Wilson's attitude of reluctance, but he couldn't say anything. This is a British colony, not Washington.

Alan Wilson squinted at the Deputy Secretary of State of the United States, but he was very knowledgeable about current affairs. It would not be good for Smith to have a falling out here. If it really got to that point, maybe two bodyguards would show up to let the respected Deputy Secretary of State get in the car calm down. He just sent a minister to God in Somaliland.

"From the perspective of strength and status, we still have an advantage in facing the Soviet Union in Africa." Alan Wilson said this unconsciously, "As long as there are no traitors from the internal camp, there must be collusion with the enemy."

Smith's face turned red and white, and he understood the British guy's overtones. He said that the United States and the Soviet Union wore the same trousers on certain issues. Of course, this is also true, such as the disintegration of the colonial system. In fact, the accusations of Britain and France cannot be wrong.

Poor Smith, being played by Alan Wilson, the respected US Deputy Secretary of State, who knows that the British Foreign Office Executive Undersecretary in front of him has a rocketship relationship with the Soviet cultural tsar, and his intimacy is definitely more than that of the British and American specials. relation.

"I want to discuss with the country." Smith didn't drink the red wine prepared by the British ally, and was about to leave because he was upset.

"It's best to think of a way in terms of efficiency, otherwise a new deputy secretary of state may appear in a while." Alan Wilson also came out with a smile to send off his allies, "By the way, who is the current US election campaign The confidence is relatively high, is it too early for us to discuss with the new government now?"

The current situation in the U.S. election is very tense. The polls of Democrat Kennedy and Republican Nixon are similar. It is difficult to say who will be the final winner. The UK is also paying attention to this point, waiting to see whether there will be changes in U.S. policy.

After all, the United States and the United Kingdom are different. The head of British officials is the cabinet secretary. The prime minister can force the cabinet secretary to leave, but generally does not do so. Cabinet secretaries usually serve in multiple governments and then retire normally.

Of course, there are such officials in the United States, such as Hoover, the current director of the FBI. An official who does not stay for a long time is a huge deterrent, and Hoover has also been feared by previous US presidents.

But there are not many officials like this in the United States. In essence, the power of the US president is much greater than that of the British Prime Minister. The head of the US civil servants is actually the US president himself. Once the US Democratic Party wins this time, Smith, the deputy secretary of state, will inevitably be replaced by the new government The nominated Secretary of State was replaced.

The president of the United States has the power to do so, and will do so after every election. The position of Smith, the No. 2 figure, is far less stable than that of Alan Wilson.

With the reality that the subject and the object are different, Smith hastened to discuss with the country.

As for what Alan Wilson should do, he and North Rhodesia Commissioner William took a leisurely walk in Lusaka, "In fact, the conditions in North Rhodesia are really good. Although it is a high altitude area, it has avoided the erosion of tropical rainforest. , there will be great development in the future.”

Southern Africa to the south of the Congo is far superior to North Africa in terms of natural conditions and natural resources. Both South Rhodesia and North Rhodesia are good places, but Congo is not good. The center of the African tropical rainforest, as for the southeastern Katanga province, which has a high altitude and a similar climate to North Rhodesia, it is also the richest in minerals. The place.

"Sir is right. The changes over the past ten years are visible to the naked eye. The current situation in Congo is very worrying." William muttered with a worried look on his face. "It's not a good thing to have turmoil around you."

"That's not necessarily the case. We need to look at the problem from the perspective of development." Alan Wilson shook his head with a smile and said, "What is the difference between us and the US and the Soviet Union? Except for the small local area, it is not bad anywhere. But this is enough to kill Yes. Among the three countries, Britain is in a relatively weak position, and the places it controls are coveted, so forming a canine-toothed situation is also beneficial to us. The Iranian oil crisis is surrounded by the Soviet Union. Are there back and forth calls?"

If we compare it with the Three Kingdoms period, the role of Britain now is equivalent to Sun Shiwan's Soochow. Since World War II, Britain has been thinking about protecting its own interests, just like Soochow has never attempted to unify the world.

The Soviet Union is equivalent to the Shu Han where Guan Yu did not die, and the United States is equivalent to the Wei State of Cao's wife.

Now there is only one battle similar to the Hefei War to wipe out the only remaining ambition of Britain. Historically, the Suez Canal War played this role. Since then, Britain has lost its ambition, and has been obsessed with eating and waiting to die.

However, Alan Wilson’s self-sacrifice, didn’t he marry the Soviet Union for the benefit of the British Empire? He was on a rocket with the cultural tsar. At present, the UK still has enough strategic space to balance offshore.

The situation is relatively complicated. If the United States coexists peacefully with the United Kingdom, it can still maintain its comparative advantage in the Cold War. But once Britain and the United States fall out, the Soviet Union may fill the vacuum. Alan Wilson feels that this is relatively beneficial to Britain.

So there is nothing wrong with Congo falling into the hands of the Soviet Union. At least it prevented the United States from stabbing the United Kingdom in the back again and again. It is not a good thing for the remnants of World War II lost, but it is a good thing for Britain.

"So life still has to save lives and heal the wounded, and it may not always be rewarded with good." Alan Wilson was very pleased. With Tito's influence, the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia would not be able to fall out with Britain.

The United States is at a critical moment in the general election, and all kinds of unfavorable news for the Republican Party have been strongly criticized by the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party, traditionally in the opposition party, has always acted as a spokesperson for vulnerable groups in its domestic policies, and its foreign policy is all about cooperation, at least on the surface.

However, the Democratic Party in power will show a more obvious desire to attack than the Republican Party. But it just so happens that the Democratic Party is now in opposition, and the current government has launched attacks on the deterioration of British-American relations and leadership in the free world.

Eisenhower also wanted to solve the Congo issue immediately, but the criticism of the optional war disturbed Eisenhower's thoughts. Moreover, the United States has its own difficulties in dealing with Africa.

Alan Wilson's appearance of supporting the Congolese civil war is from the British perspective. Britain and France both have significant interests in Africa, as does the United States of course, but not as big as these two countries.

Once the United States stands with Britain and France on the open side, won't it show in front of the whole black Africa that the United States supports the colonization of Africa by Britain and France? Offending groups across the continent just to maintain amicable relations with Britain and France? What if the whole of Africa falls into the arms of the Soviet Union?

Facing the Soviet Union in the Eurasian continent, the Soviet Union is stretched. Let the Soviet Union swallow Africa. It is better for the United States to consider operating the Atlantic line of defense. Europe, Asia and Africa give the Soviet Union an advantage, so what is there to play?

So ostensibly support the Congolese civil war, and even get rid of Lumumba after losing the upper hand? The United States cannot choose to do so. To do this, Britain or France must be at the front and the United States at the back.

But now Britain clearly wants to wait and see until the United States changes, and is in a short-lived state of British imperialism.

This could affect the election, and Eisenhower had to do something.

While dealing with the criticism from the Democratic Party, Eisenhower must let the situation cool down first. The premise of cooling down is that the Congo cannot fall into the hands of the Soviet Union, and at least the valuable part should go to the free world.

Lusaka, the capital of Northern Rhodesia, ushered in a new guest on this day. They hugged Alan Wilson as soon as they walked out of the airport, "Alan, it's been a long time. Have you been staying in Africa recently?"

"It's always been there. Discuss the deterioration of the Congo and don't spread to the surrounding areas." Alan Wilson changed his face, which was completely different from when he was talking to Smith.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Smith, who also came to greet McCarthy, and curled his lips lightly, like birds of a feather flock together.

Even within the Republican Party, McCarthy is a figure with mixed reputations, but his family has been established stably, and even so, he can still stand tall. There are many opponents and many supporters.

"I'm also here for this matter, let's talk slowly now." McCarthy said enthusiastically, "I believe in the relationship between you and me, so we shouldn't quarrel."

"Let's have a drink first and then talk." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth and invited McCarthy.

The two laughed straight away, seeing Alan Wilson's face-changing national quintessence, Smith's nose is not a nose and a face is not a face.

"From private channels ~lightnovelpub.net~ I apologize for the recent friction between the United Kingdom and the United States." When he arrived at the meeting place, McCarthy poured a glass of wine and raised his glass, "Actually, there are many things that cannot be discussed. It was a joint response to the Soviet Union."

"I understand the truth, but sometimes the attitude shown by the United States is confusing." Alan Wilson sighed, "This is very confusing. The free world should unite instead of always breaking out internal conflicts."

Seeing McCarthy himself, Alan Wilson is not responsible for who lost Cuba before, but has become a special relationship between Britain and the United States.

McCarthy said directly, "There are black ethnic groups in the United States, so we cannot directly express our position on the Congo issue, but the United States will support Britain's efforts to control the situation in Congo."

"This?" Alan Wilson paused slightly, and said with some embarrassment, "Joseph, you are making Britain and the Soviet Union confront each other, and this will cost you a lot."

"The United States is preparing to participate in the Six-Party Talks and talk about the future of Iran." McCarthy smiled and said, "If the United Kingdom has any requirements, it can communicate with the United States openly and honestly. The two countries should maintain constant communication so that there will be no misunderstandings. .”
