v2 Chapter 1091: only 1 chance

"Is this? An executive order or a referendum?" Alan Wilson's body paused slightly and asked deeply.

"It's an executive order, all the major French newspapers are talking about it." Wick explained behind his immediate boss.

"The key is what AFP says." Alan Wilson said as he walked. "That is, the policy has not been formally introduced. What did the minister say, what about the left-wing parties in France? No objection?"

In fact, Alan Wilson also knew that any objection would not change the overall situation, and he made it clear that boycotting conscription orders was used for treason.

However, this is also a good opportunity to mediate, of course, this is for Macmillan, not for him. This kind of major issue is no longer something he, the Permanent Undersecretary, can solve. Macmillan and even Prime Minister Aiden must come forward.

Alan Wilson can solve some less important matters, but he can't really replace the Foreign Secretary in major international affairs. Obviously, what happened in France this time is a major international affairs. Who dares to say that a country needs to conduct general mobilization, not Is it a big deal?

Based on Alan Wilson's understanding of the current government and even the previous government, whether it is useful or not, he will try to prevent France from launching the French General Mobilization Act. After all, France has started the National General Mobilization, and it is also solving a colonial problem, which will allow the free world The universal value of , not so shiny.

However, Alan Wilson hoped in his heart that the UK's dissuasion would not succeed. For the UK, the stubborn France could help itself share a lot of pressure, and it was voluntary by France. If the UK had any reason to discourage it, it was destined to fail.

France under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle is definitely not a country that the United Kingdom will listen to when it opens its mouth to mediate. People pursue independence and independence, especially not below the United Kingdom.

"The Prime Minister still hopes to calm down France and refrain from taking far-reaching actions." Macmillan has been in a low mood recently, but he still has a strong spirit to implement the diplomatic strategy, which is indeed implementation. The current British diplomatic strategy is formulated by the Prime Minister himself of.

"We do our best." Although he felt that there was a high probability that there would be no results, Alan Wilson still expressed his willingness to accept it, especially in front of MacMillan.

Alan Wilson has a characteristic that likes to sit on the sidelines, but energy and initiative are the main aspects of his personality. Just now, when he was thinking about the impact of what France did, he didn't think carefully about how he would deal with anything unexpected.

And this is not bold, nor calm, nor overconfident in his ability to act decisively when things happen. At worst, it's inertia, unwilling to let your only benefit of being a bystander slip away when something happens.

Since Macmillan has already shown his willingness to visit France, he is naturally willing to accompany him instead of going to India.

Deep down, he was naturally a little surprised, and the French move would really have a profound impact, especially at this point in time.

Of course, he quickly thought of another thing. If France is going to fight with open flames, can Britain take advantage of France's willingness to stand in front of it and do something for its own interests?

Without further ado, even as a rehearsal of the Cuban Missile Crisis as a rehearsal for Britain's diplomatic mediation, Alan Wilson followed Macmillan to Paris, just in time for both public and private interests.

At this time, Paris was very calm and restless, or there was restlessness hidden under the calm. This is not contradictory, it is very in line with the historical tradition of France, either royalist or revolutionary.

Macmillan arrived in Paris and immediately started some networking while seriously preparing to talk to de Gaulle.

Alan Wilson, who decided in his heart that the diplomacy had failed early this time, naturally encouraged the minister and then went about his own business.

This wine exudes a pleasant aroma and tastes good, not inferior to good wines, and the fruit has mangoes, which are fully ripe. After traveling for so long, it was a real pleasure to eat this fruit. Alan Wilson ate and drank with relish.

Mangoes are worth tasting carefully, but he is more interested in the mountain above the valley. This is a dazzling and exciting mountain. Staring at the mountain peak, he couldn't help but be fascinated by his heart. His heart was already climbing the mountain, and he chose the road to climb along the mountains and defiles in meditation.

The increasingly presumptuous expression finally prevented Ingrid Bergman from turning a blind eye. She fastened the placket of her clothes and hid the stalwart front of her chest, "You are always not serious."

"Ingrid, you misunderstood." Alan Wilson looked like a gentleman. What about the trust between people? He is obviously a gentleman, but Ingrid Bergman treats him as a villain? This is a desecration of his character.

"Oh, yes." Ingrid Bergman responded absentmindedly, as perfunctory as possible.

"If this is the case, I won't come next time." Alan Wilson's face turned cloudy. He didn't feel respected here, and he didn't enjoy the treatment of the head of the family at all. It was really outrageous.

The buttoned placket was loosened again. Sometimes men didn't show a bit of a tough style, and they were always regarded as weak and bullying. Alan Wilson, who buried his head in the arms of the Nordic Queen, finally felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

He is running for the country, and women should provide superior logistical support, so as to be worthy of his efforts. Even if Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamar were not British, he should be considered.

When Macmillan, in his foreign secretary duties, tried to dissuade de Gaulle from a move that might have far-reaching implications.

At the headquarters of Woodpecker Pictures, Alan Wilson is also discussing the current international situation with Grace. Historically, the independence army in Katanga Province persisted for two or three years before finally being defeated.

But now it is clear that it cannot last for so long, and the military advisers of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia are devolved to the battalion level. Although neither country has combat experience in the tropical rainforest, it may be better to send the Vietnamese over, but it is not comparable to the resistance of the warlords in Tshombe, and still insists that the free world is still providing military assistance, and the size of the Congo. It was really big, the Soviets were not adapted to such factors as jungle warfare.

More than ten years later, in the Angola war, he lived in tropical Cuba, and the South African army was very troublesome. This treatment has not yet come to the Congo war.

Soviet military advisers have a long history. In their long-term practice, Soviet military advisers have formed basic rules of conduct. That is to actively cooperate with foreign commanders, and on the basis of fully considering various local conditions, help the assisted country to establish a basic military system. Therefore, Soviet military advisers are also respected by the locals.

"From what I know about the French, especially the current de Gaulle government." Alan Wilson said calmly, "This time diplomacy should be unsuccessful, but not for you. On the contrary. It may be a good opportunity, although there is no 100% certainty, the opportunity to solve the salient problem has come."

"We have been waiting for this opportunity." Grace nodded solemnly, indicating that he has been paying attention to the progress of the Congolese civil war for more than half a year. Naturally, he is also disturbed that the Katanga Independence Army is gradually falling behind. "Sir felt, France fighting to cover our actions?"

"It's natural!" Alan Wilson nodded solemnly. "Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to do things well. If you have problems, no one can do it for you. Destiny is in your own hands. Well. I don’t want to say more about restraining my greed, I hope everything goes well.”

The United Kingdom is not France, and it cannot split an independent country in the current international environment. France has already disintegrated French Africa, and it is desperately betting on Algeria. There are still many colonies in Britain that are not independent.

Going down in person could throw British Africa into turmoil, not a good deal for a budget-conscious Britain.

Therefore, Grace can only count on the strength of Northern Rhodesia itself. The United Kingdom can provide some military support, but it will never send troops openly.

Gelus thought for a while, and nodded in approval. With France in northern Africa, the incident in Northern Rhodesia was indeed not noticeable. "It is indeed the case. It seems like a good opportunity."

"Of course, why would I lie to you? I have always tried my best for my recognized friends." Alan Wilson looked solemn, and then changed the subject, "Can't you even finish a past president."

Alan Wilson still hasn't forgotten Syngman Rhee~lightnovelpub.net~ He let go of his words in front of his sister-in-law. If he can't do it, he may leave an unreliable impression and will not help the close relationship with the royal family. .

"Even if he hides in it and can't come out, I will send someone to blow up his house." Grace was forced to do nothing, and said that he must get things done as soon as possible.

"That's fine, if the situation in Katanga doesn't deteriorate to a certain extent. If there is time, we still have to wait for France to officially issue a general mobilization order. It can have a certain cover. Of course, in this interest."

"We share the mineral interests of Katanga with the Mountbatten Group." Grace understood in seconds and immediately made a guarantee.

This is no problem, Alan Wilson is very happy, proposes a place to have a drink, and asks Grace if he is interested in relaxing, Paris is a romantic capital, and there is no shortage of exciting encounters.

When seeing Macmillan again, the Foreign Secretary frowned, obviously this wave of communication was not going well. The communication on Alan Wilson's side was quite smooth. Now that the French are waiting for the action, Northern Rhodesia will naturally follow.

There is only one chance, and it is worth cherishing.
