v2 Chapter 1114: French overtures

Xia Meng, who got the promise, was very happy, and took the initiative to ask, "You must be very tired after going abroad during this time. Take a rest here, and I will cook you something."

"I'm not tired, but I'm tired of intrigue with the Americans every day." Alan Wilson stroked his forehead, looked at Xia Meng's face and asked, "Can you understand me?"

"I don't understand and I don't want to understand." Xia Meng's answer made Alan Wilson laugh out loud, which is actually quite good.

Two hours later, Alan Wilson got up and left, telling Xia Meng to rest well, and he would come to visit at that time.

The NATO foreign ministers' meeting this time is the source of his worries. The eccentricity of the United States includes but is not limited to France's colonial policy. This is completely expected, and there are unexpected...

For example, the United States suggested that the nuclear weapons of Britain and France be included in the unified command structure to jointly deal with the threat of the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson is too familiar with this trick. He just took the Hong Kong governor who said he wanted financial independence as a fart, and sent people from the Overseas Assets Management Committee to integrate Hong Kong's British-funded enterprises into the integration to increase the economy in his hands. strength.

These two things are just in different fields. In fact, they have the same purpose. The United States wants to take the opportunity to abolish, or half abolish, the nuclear weapons of Britain and France.

This idea naturally aroused fierce opposition from France. Rabo Butler, the foreign secretary who attended an international conference for the first time after the war, did not say anything.

He also went to Paris with Rabo Butler, but Alan Wilson, who spent most of his time exploring the way of spaceflight, had no special and constructive views. When Rabo Butler discussed with him, he just Answer, "On the premise that France does not surrender control of nuclear weapons, Britain listens to the United States?"

"Especially when the war in Algeria is becoming more and more beneficial to France, what will we do to suppress France? Besides, Britain is also a colonial country. Entering the so-called joint command organization? It is not good for the current Britain."

Now that the NATO foreign ministers' meeting is over, Rabo Butler must come back to inform Eden of the meeting.

Alan Wilson also wanted to see what Aiden's attitude was, and whether it was in line with the Conservative Party's consistent traitorous style.

We must know that the Labor Party in the House of Commons is now in a strong opposition. Once Eden loosens, he will show a tendency to bow his head. But there may not necessarily be a Macmillan for him to use to make a pump.

This matter still needs to be asked about the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Alan Wilson came to the door with his wife and asked his father-in-law what he meant. He didn't think that Marshal Mountbatten was a soldier who could be manipulated by him. He didn't understand anything except socializing.

Alan Wilson heard a rumor in his previous life that when Harold Wilson was prime minister, because of the long-term nationalization policy and some pro-Soviet rumors, it almost caused military intervention in Britain.

In the 1970s, the British army occupied the runway at London's Heathrow Airport in the name of a drill against the Irish Republican Army, but Wilson's friends pointed out that this was a rehearsal for a military coup. Rumors even indicated that Lord Mountbatten was the mastermind behind the second coup d'état, and he would act as prime minister after the coup d'état succeeded.

We must know that Marshal Mountbatten will retire in five years at most. The time of the coup was rumored to be ten years after Mountbatten retired. It can be seen that although Mountbatten will not be in the military afterwards, his influence has not dissipated in the army for a long time.

Therefore, Alan Wilson never thought that his father-in-law was a so-called delusional person, and no delusional person could mobilize his old subordinates after leaving his comfort zone.

"The Americans are going to surrender our guns. I don't know if this is the consensus within the US government." Alan Wilson sat down and went straight to the topic, "I don't know what the Marshal thinks?"

Marshal Mountbatten looked at his son-in-law with the same eyes, and blurted out, "I want to know what you think? Don't ask me as soon as something happens. It will make people think that Britain is a military government."

"Father!" Pamela Mountbatten said in a long voice, shaking Marshal Mountbatten's arm, "You are the full-time commander-in-chief of the British armed forces. This is a big deal. I don't believe that no one has asked for your opinion."

"You still need to ask for my opinion, my daughter. You have **** six dukes, twenty earls, and more than four hundred barons. Aiden even said that your words are more useful than him on some occasions." Marshal Mountbatten shook his head and smiled wryly. , Then said sternly, "Based on what I know about Aiden, he will not let go of this kind of thing. He was firmly opposed to the appeasement policy back then. Toughness is the first impression voters have of him. Because of Nigeria's independence, He pushed Macmillan as a scapegoat."

"Not to mention handing over the nuclear weapons, if he makes a decision that is contrary to the perception of voters. He will step down immediately."

"It's a pity that it's still inconvenient. Why don't I ask the agents from the Sixth Office to monitor No. 10 Downing Street." Alan Wilson murmured to himself, feeling that the current situation was still a bit inconvenient.

"Britain is not the Soviet Union," Mountbatten said immediately, and then added, "At least not in public."

Allen Wilson stared at Mountbatten with wide eyes. Did he do this before? Doesn't it mean that Britain is not a military government?

"There are always things about the royal family that cannot be said publicly." Mountbatten did not answer the son-in-law's question, but said in a roundabout way that under certain circumstances, the prime minister could not be included in the assessment of reliability.

Through this answer, Alan Wilson confirmed a historical rumor that Harold Wilson felt that at the end of his administration, the inexplicable hostility around him was true, and this hostility came from the deep government.

"Actually, I don't believe that a world war will break out." Alan Wilson paused when he said this. "As long as the current military strength is maintained, it will be easy for the UK to protect itself. Once nuclear weapons are included in any joint command system, the UK is equivalent to Everything is open to the United States, and it will be easier for them to manipulate us when the time comes."

"What are the consequences?" Pamela Mountbatten asked directly when she heard what her husband said so seriously.

"There are many, from the heavy pressure on the pound zone to the abnormal competition faced by the Comet airliner, and even in all aspects." Alan Wilson snapped his fingers, "Anything that the UK is still worth grabbing may interest the United States."

"Father, it's better for you to use your influence to clarify the military's attitude." Pamela Mountbatten said to Mountbatten with a serious face, "This is really too dangerous."

Your industry is too dangerous! Alan Wilson still felt that the true meaning he translated was closer to the essence of the matter, but he dared not say it.

The two left Mountbatten's house, and Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband while driving, "After disarming nuclear weapons, is there a risk that the United States will annex Britain?"

"That's not true, but the United Kingdom will become a relationship dependent on the United States." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "You know in your heart that although I call out the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States louder than anyone else in public, this is the establishment of the United Kingdom. On the basis of the UK's own independent ability, if this foundation is lost, when I shouted, I was enthusiastically sticking to my cold ass, not as confident as I am now."

At that time, the British may say some cold jokes, similar to the self-deprecation that I am an American father, and I can't do anything.

It's like some so-called ancient tradition in Japan, which is greatly appreciated by Hibuki. Allen Wilson didn't know what he was admiring. Many so-called traditions inherited by Japan should be eliminated.

Just because Japan is still reserved, and life happens to be a little higher than China, it can cause a lot of Japanese blows to beat their chests. Has anyone ever seen a careful study of Vietnam retaining ancient Chinese habits?

Even if someone cares, it will cause a contemptuous smile. The same thing, the samurai sword can be used to prove how awesome the Tang sword is, and the Vietnamese sword is not blown to study any historical inheritance, and then reflect on yourself.

In Alan Wilson's view, maybe Tang Dao was eliminated normally in Chinese history, but because Japan is developed and has a samurai tradition, it was blown up by a group of people who reflect on themselves every day when they have nothing to do.

In essence, this is Macmillan's comparison of Britain to ancient Greece and the United States to a variant of the Roman Empire.

Just as Alan Wilson was preparing for the birth of another child, Pamela Mountbatten immediately informed Alan Wilson of another news, "Dassault has proposed cooperation? What do you think?"

"A fighter jet project? That's a surprise!" Allen Wilson put down the newspaper~lightnovelpub.net~Pamela Mountbatten couldn't understand Chinese characters, so she didn't know what the newspaper titled "Deepening American Economic Crisis" was She didn't care about anything, and said directly, "The Belfast strategic transport aircraft project."

"I just said that the French will not ask others for fighter jets." Alan Wilson suddenly realized, and calculated, "I will ask MI6 to evaluate the technical strength of France, and then I will see Whitehall's opinion. , I will tell you whether we can cooperate. However, I think European military cooperation is possible, and if the Belfast strategic transport aircraft is favored by France, it will be easier to win financial support from the Ministry of Finance."

"And after in-depth cooperation, orders from Britain and France are better than our own orders, otherwise the cost will remain high, and France may drive other countries."

After putting down the newspaper, Alan Wilson went out for activities. He remembered that France was a short board in strategic transport aircraft. Choosing to cooperate on this can be regarded as quite precise.

From his personal point of view, the timing is just right. If possible, Alan Wilson wants to promote cooperation in this regard. Public opinion also needs to be prepared, and it is time for justice for Germany. The flying coffin can be mentioned.
