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

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

"The key is what Agence France-Presse said." Allen Wilson said as he walked, "That is, the policy has not yet been officially introduced. What did the minister say, and what about the left-wing parties in France? No objection?"

In fact, Alan Wilson also knows that any opposition will not change the overall situation. He has made it clear that boycotting the conscription order is used for treason. If the French Communist Party dares to make trouble at this time, it is estimated that it will be cleaned up reasonably and legally.

However, this is also a good opportunity to mediate, of course, this is for Macmillan, not for him. This kind of major matter is no longer something that he, the executive deputy minister, can come forward to solve. Macmillan and even Prime Minister Eden must come forward.

Alan Wilson can solve some unimportant matters, but he cannot really replace the foreign minister in major international affairs. Obviously, what happened in France this time belongs to major international affairs. Who dares to say that a country will carry out general mobilization? 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 law. After all, France launched the national mobilization to solve a colonial problem, which will make the free world The universal value is not so shining.

However, Alan Wilson hopes that Britain's dissuasion will not be successful. For Britain, a strong France can help it share a lot of pressure, and it is still voluntary by France. If Britain has any reason to dissuade, it is doomed to fail.

France under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle is definitely not a country that the United Kingdom will obey when it opens its mouth to mediate. What people pursue is independence, especially not living under the United Kingdom.

"The prime minister still hopes that France can calm down and not take actions with far-reaching consequences." McMillan has been in a low mood recently, but he is still determined to implement the diplomatic strategy. It is indeed implemented. The current British diplomatic strategy is formulated by the prime minister himself. of.

"We will do our best." Although he feels that there is a high probability that there will be no results, Alan Wilson still expresses his willingness to accept it, especially in front of McMillan.

Alan Wilson had a tendency to sit on the sidelines, but energy and initiative were the main aspects of his personality. Just now, while he was thinking about the impact of what France did, he hadn't thought carefully about how he would deal with it should any accident happen.

And it's not boldness, it's not calmness, it's not overconfidence in your ability to act decisively when things happen. At worst, it's an inertia, an unwillingness to let the only benefit of being a bystander slip away when things happen.

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

Deep down in his heart, he was naturally a little surprised. France's move would really have a profound impact, especially at this point in time.

Of course, he quickly thought of another thing. If France wants to go to war with open flames, can Britain do something for its own interests by taking advantage of France's willingness to stand in front of it?

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

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

When Macmillan arrived in Paris, he immediately did some networking and made serious preparations to talk to de Gaulle.

Alan Wilson, who decided in his heart that this time the diplomacy had failed early, naturally gave encouragement to the minister, and then went to work on his own affairs.

The wine exuded a pleasant aroma, and tasted good, not inferior to the best wine, and among the fruits were mangoes, very ripe. It was such a joy to eat this fruit after such a long journey. Allen 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, exciting mountain. Staring at the mountain peak, he couldn't help being fascinated. His heart was already climbing the mountain, and he chose the path to climb along the mountain honors and passes in meditation.

Ingrid Bergman couldn't turn a blind eye to the gradually presumptuous expression. He fastened his skirt and hid his stalwart chest, "You always look 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 to defend? This is an insult to his character.

"Oh, yes." Ingrid Bergman's absent-minded response was as perfunctory as it could be.

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

The fastened skirt was loosened again. Sometimes a man would be regarded as weak if he didn't show a little tough style. 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 around for the country, and a woman should provide superior logistical support, so that he can be worthy of his efforts. Even if Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamarr are not British, they should be considerate of him.

While Macmillan was performing his duties as foreign secretary, he was trying to dissuade de Gaulle from a potentially far-reaching move.

At the headquarters of Woodpecker Films, 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 it was finally defeated.

But now it is obvious that it cannot last for such a long time, and the military advisers of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have been devolved to the battalion level. Although the two countries have no 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 local warlords in Tshombe. Now they still insist that it is nothing more than the free world is still providing military assistance, and the area of ​​the Congo Big indeed, the Soviets were not used to factors such as jungle warfare.

In the Angolan war more than ten years later, the South African army was troubled by living in tropical Cuba. This treatment has not yet come to the Congo war.

Soviet military advisers have a long history. In the long-term practical work, 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 quite respected by the locals.

"Based on what I know about the French, especially the current Charles de Gaulle government." Alan Wilson said unhurriedly, "This time the diplomacy should return without success, but it is not the case for you. On the contrary It may be a good opportunity, although it is not 100% sure, but 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 by the gradual decline of the Katanga Independence Army. "Sir thinks, France going to war to cover our operation?"

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

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

If you end up in person, it may plunge British Africa into turmoil, which is not a good deal for the 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.

Gross thought for a while, and nodded in approval. With France taking action in northern Africa, the matter in Northern Rhodesia is indeed not noticeable. "It is indeed the case. It seems to be a good opportunity."

"Of course, am I going to lie to you? I always do my best to my recognized friends." Alan Wilson looked solemn, and then changed the subject, "You can't even kill a past president."

Alan Wilson still hasn’t forgotten about Syngman Lee~lightnovelpub.net~ He let go of the words in front of his sister-in-law, if he can’t do it, he may leave an unreliable impression, which will not help the intimacy with the royal family .

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

"Then there is no problem. If the situation in Katanga does not 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 be used as a cover. Of course, it is in this interest."

"We share Katanga's mineral interests with the Mountbatten Group." Grace understood immediately and immediately made a promise.

This is no problem, Alan Wilson was very happy, proposed to find a place to have a drink, and asked Grace if he was interested in relaxing. Paris is the capital of romance, and there is no shortage of exciting encounters.

When he saw Macmillan again, the Foreign Secretary frowned. Obviously, this wave of communication was not smooth. The communication on Alan Wilson's side was quite smooth, and now we are waiting for the French to make a move, and Northern Rhodesia will naturally follow suit.

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