v2 Chapter 1098: arrest event

The proliferation of nuclear weapons does not need the UK to worry about it. All nuclear-armed states are tacitly aware of this. The end result is that all countries except the permanent members will be contained.

In fact, the United States is now curbing Sweden's nuclear program, believing that the country's nuclear proliferation has threatened the stability of the situation in Europe. The United States and Sweden have signed an agreement on civilian nuclear energy cooperation. The two sides agreed to exchange information on the construction, operation and development of the reactor.

The Swedish government has committed to provide AEC with information on Sweden's nuclear energy development. The agreement also implies that the U.S. nuclear umbrella will protect Sweden, so Sweden does not need to equip its own nuclear weapons.

And as an electoral nation, there is too much room for manipulating the means against nuclear R&D.

Various opposition groups launched a petition against Sweden's nuclear weapons development program, which was signed by 100,000 people and presented to Prime Minister Erland, in addition to the so-called "grassroots movement", the "Anti-Atomic Bomb Action Group". "It also caused great trouble for the Swedish government in opposing the development of nuclear weapons in Sweden.

"Tag Ellander, I have a good relationship with him." Greta Garbo was invited and said directly, "He is a center-left politician, and he is an attribute of your British Labour Party."

"Yes, the parties of the Second International." Alan Wilson nodded, "but Sweden's armed neutrality is the national policy, no matter what party, the difference is the details."

Alan Wilson did not ask how Greta Garbo knew the Prime Minister, but in terms of popularity, Greta Garbo was still above the Prime Minister.

"Do you need my help?" Greta Garbo asked proactively, "My child is in a school with his granddaughter. That girl is also going to be my student."

"I'm a tool man in you. I'm really grateful for the love this time." Alan Wilson certainly wouldn't refuse, but he was also a little worried, "Can your network influence government decision-making?"

"It's okay to be alone, but it's too much to control the government." Greta Garbo answered noncommittally, "I didn't say it would be useful, but I was willing to give it a try."

That's enough, Alan Wilson himself doesn't expect any windfalls. He has always planned this matter with sincerity, but if he can get additional help, he will definitely not object.

The TSR.2 attack aircraft can be used for nuclear missions, which is a good start of military cooperation between the United Kingdom and Sweden. As for the platform, how to solve the nuclear weapons after that depends on the Swedes themselves.

The most important thing is that Sweden has a good economy now, and its per capita income is twice that of Germany and France, and 2.5 times that of Italy. In the current Europe, it is a fairly strong economy. And it is closely linked to the UK economy.

The United Kingdom is known as an offshore balancer, and it has fought wars with almost all European countries. There are only about 20 countries in the world that have not been declared war by the United Kingdom. But the UK has never gone to war with Sweden, and the UK and Sweden have the same attitude towards the European Community.

On the contrary, the United Kingdom and Sweden have cooperated with each other to carry out offshore balances when European powers appeared on many occasions. In the offshore balance of Europe, the United Kingdom is the main force, and Sweden is next to assist.

Gibraltar is a disputed area with Spain, and few countries will take a stand on the ownership of Gibraltar.

Sweden has set up a consulate general in Gibraltar to show its support for the British Overseas Territory.

To defend against the Russian-speaking countries in the east and the German-speaking countries in the south, Sweden must need the support of the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson remembers that when Germany and France established the European Community, the first thing in the UK's mind was to pull Sweden to set up the European Free Trade Area. Sweden, like the UK, uses its own national currency. But the world doesn't need it anymore, the UK is in the European Community.

"It's really not possible. If the age difference is not too far, you can consider marrying the prime minister's granddaughter." Alan Wilson slapped his thigh, feeling that he was a genius.

Greta Garbo patted Alan Wilson directly, "It's not as big as you and I are, but it's better that my son doesn't look too much like you."

What is this called? Alan Wilson is very dissatisfied that Greta Garbo's son is not like himself, it is not an accident.

However, he does not dare to turn against the Queen of Sweden now. The military cooperation projects between the two countries still need the help of Greta Garbo. He came with full sincerity, hoping to build a closer relationship with Sweden.

Alan Wilson, who traveled for London and Stockholm, after returning to London, received a message from the United States that Aramco was returned to Saudi Arabia by the United States and became a company wholly owned by Saudi Arabia. The United States also waived the 50 percent share it had previously stated with Saudi Arabia.

"It's a big deal!" Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh. Last year, Saudi Arabia's oil production was 60 million tons. The United States returns oil companies to Saudi Arabia, and at the same time abolishes quota profits, which is not something that ordinary countries can do.

Although Mountbatten Group has done this before, the Mountbatten Group has not let other British oil companies follow suit. And now the UK's oil share in the Middle East is not as good as the US.

While sighing, Alan Wilson couldn't help thinking about whether this matter was related to Kennedy. Historically, Aramco belonged to Saudi Arabia, and it was also during the Kennedy administration, but it was only a year after the Cuban missile crisis.

"Kennedy was killed, is it related to this incident?" Alan Wilson couldn't help wondering whether this incident was related to Kennedy's assassination. At least the oil group did not like Kennedy.

There is no doubt that the pressure on Iran to negotiate with the United Kingdom will increase. By giving up oil quotas, the United Kingdom shows that interests are not a problem, but sanctions must be imposed on Iran.

The United States is also giving up oil quotas and returning Aramco oil to Saudi Arabia. It also shows that it supports a more equitable distribution of oil. It seems that the means are the same, but the meaning is absolutely different.

Now that the United States has given up its share of oil, the United Kingdom must no longer hold on to Iran under any pretext. This will be the next thing the US has to say to the UK.

Sure enough, just two days later, there was talk of a solution to the Iran issue from Washington, telling London that talks on the Iranian oil crisis should be resumed, and that it had better come up with a result.

Alan Wilson expressed concern to Foreign Secretary Macmillan, "Then there is little reason for the UK to continue to maintain sanctions. It is morally untenable."

Morality is very important to Britain. The reason is that the UK's national strength is not as strong as that of the United States. It cannot be regarded as a fart when the sun never sets. If you really want to play gunboat diplomacy, you will not be able to pass the US.

"The United States is indeed a difficult opponent to confront." Macmillan also smiled wryly after hearing this, "Our relationship with the Americans is like the Greeks seeing the Romans."

If it weren't for the traitorous Conservative Party, Alan Wilson would not change his face with very professional control.

But as soon as I heard Macmillan's Greco-Roman rhetoric, I was furious. You can't be prime minister by your looks.

"We have safeguarded the interests of the UK as much as possible, and we believe that all efforts are seen by citizens." Macmillan was still moved by himself, saying that the Foreign Office had done its best.

"I'm going to prepare the documents for the meeting." Alan Wilson turned around directly, not wanting to see the Greek.

"Does he still think it's okay?" Norman Brooke, who met Alan Wilson in his office in the afternoon, said helplessly after listening to Macmillan's Greco-Roman metaphor, "He doesn't even know this diplomatic failure, What kind of fate will I face, I think the post of Minister of Education is more suitable for his academic atmosphere, Greece, it is better to do a good job in academics."

"We have to be careful of the sugar-coated cannonballs of the Greeks." Alan Wilson hummed, "With such a minister, I think it is best for us to do nothing, and simply admit defeat if our national strength is not as good as the United States, but we are not the Soviet Union now. Our opponent, next time we encounter the interests of the Soviet Union, are we admitting defeat to the Soviet Union?”

"Speaking of the Soviet Union, can't we use the Congo affairs to exchange for the understanding of the United States on the Middle East issue?" Norman Brooke asked Alan Wilson if he could do it.

"I want to do this too, but it may not make much sense. The importance of the Middle East and Africa is still difficult to compare ~lightnovelpub.net~ Now it's Alan Wilson's turn to be Greek, and he smiled wryly," We know that the Middle East is very important, the United States knows it, the Soviet Union knows it, and no country does not know it. "

"Indeed!" Norman Brooke shook his head. The United States directly sent Aramco to Saudi Arabia, which indeed put the United Kingdom in an extremely embarrassing situation. This is the difference in national strength. Compared with bloodletting the body, the United States can also put more, so that the United Kingdom cannot keep up.

"At the Basra meeting this time, Dean persuaded the British to stop making trouble. The United States will naturally come up with a plan that takes care of the interests of all parties. But it is impossible as before."

In Washington, the capital of the United States, Kennedy, who was in the White House office, called Secretary of State Dean Rusk, hoping that the other party would clarify the United States' position to the United Kingdom. The colonial era has passed, and don't give the Soviet Union a chance, especially in the Middle East.

"I will try my best to persuade the British!" Dean Rusk nodded and said, "Since I am attending the Basra meeting, the foreign ministers of various countries should also attend and resolve this matter together. I communicate with Macmillan in person."

"This is the best way!" Kennedy wanted to say something else. The phone on the table rang, and Kennedy had to answer the phone first. "There are a lot of deformities everywhere? Almost every state has them. How can this happen? Have you found the source?"
