v2 Chapter 1132: Kennedy's visit to the UK

The US president's upcoming visit to the UK is a grand event in the free world, and this is the evaluation of ordinary Britons.

The UK's itinerary for Kennedy is also very grand. In addition to meeting Prime Minister Eden, he will also meet the current Queen Elizabeth. .

Most of the major newspapers are looking forward to Kennedy's arrival, of course, Alan Wilson is an exception. He always felt that the purpose of this American president who didn't know what fear was must be innocent.

Although he is separated by two places, he often keeps in touch with his wife. Faced with the rising US silver price, Pamela Mountbatten obviously wants to take advantage of the rising trend to sell it.

Alan Wilson said that he can wait. The Cuban Missile Crisis has become an impression of a time unit for him to serve as a reference for a time scale. At least before this crisis, silver is still very stable. There is no possibility of a crash.

By now, he is ready to take advantage of the Cuban Missile Crisis to come to the aid of India...

If Nehru didn't mind that Britain, the suzerain country's army that had colonized India, set foot on Indian soil again and refused to leave, he would probably have killed him and asked Britain for help.

This is just right, and Alan Wilson is not prepared to really save India. It is a big country with great reputation, and it does not need Little Britain to rescue it. It can solve all problems by itself.

At the same time, there should be a result in the Lubumbashi area, and Grace was eager to try and almost couldn't hold back. There is also the case of Sukarno in Indonesia. In short, before and after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Alan Wilson still planned quite a lot.

When he returned to London, Kennedy hadn't finished his visit to Paris. Kennedy also attached great importance to de Gaulle, a leader who had not been in harmony with the United States in the past two years.

Alan Wilson, who had nothing to do, naturally had a chat with his father-in-law, and also talked about the purpose of the US president who was about to arrive in London this time.

"What's your impression of Kennedy?" Mountbatten was curious about what his son-in-law thought.

"The family background is superior, and his career is smooth sailing. According to the evaluation in the United States so far, he is a weak president. But I don't think so. Kennedy's weakness is just a superficial phenomenon." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "I don't have anything special about him. If you want to ask the Chinese in Malaya what they think, it’s really not that good.”

"Why?" Marshal Mountbatten was unclear. So, can an American president have anything to do with Malaya?

"He is of Irish descent. The main ethnic group that excludes Chinese in the United States is the Irish." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "There is a saying in the East that takes history as a mirror. As a selfless British High Commissioner, I naturally It is no secret, and the behavior of the Irish has been written into the history textbook."

Who made the status of the Irish low before the First World War? They were also at the bottom of the class, and the Irish were still facing job competition from the Chinese, so forget about the job competition. Chinese workers are mainly men, and the place where the Irish feel the most pressure is the marriage between Chinese and Irish women.

At that time, most Chinese Americans could not find wives. If they could find wives other than Chinese women, they would be Irish women, not to mention 100%.

Although the Irish have one reason or another as the main force to exclude Chinese, Alan Wilson thinks that is not the main reason, and the only reason that can make Irish men feel the pain is this one.

Marshal Mountbatten stepped back tactically, and said in a tone worthy of you, "I really doubt that you use the Chinese to deal with the Irish. I hope I am wrong."

"I've had this kind of idea." Alan Wilson admitted bluntly, telling his father-in-law that he guessed right, "But the current political status of Malaya is still a little bit worse. It is just an idea at present, and there is no possibility of practice."

Hopefully it doesn't get to that point, the IRA was at a low ebb in the 1960s and has little influence now.

But Alan Wilson will not let down his vigilance. If he remembers correctly, Mountbatten was killed by the IRA.

At present, there is no need for the father-in-law to know about this matter. He even thought that Mountbatten had retired and found a way to let his wife take Mountbatten to live in Perth directly.

Mountbatten didn't know at the moment that even his life after retirement had been clearly arranged.

When the Kennedys were in Paris, the British side was also paying attention to the movements of the United States and France. One is a suspicious ally who supports the independence of the colonies. He is already a rebellious son who has gradually surpassed Britain from the colonies. Of course, he should receive enough attention.

Mrs. Kennedy, Jacqueline had studied in France and spoke fluent French, which made all walks of life in France feel good. To a certain extent, it concealed the disadvantage of Kennedy's Irish origin.

The French people and President de Gaulle liked her very much. On his last day in Paris, Kennedy told reporters at a press conference at the Chaillot Palace: "I don't think it would be inappropriate to introduce myself to everyone here. I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline to Paris." , and I am honored for that.”

Although France has a lot of praise for the Kennedys from all walks of life, this proves nothing. It's not that the politics are cold and the economy is hot, and they can't hinder the judgment of the British Foreign Office, especially when Alan Wilson is still there.

"Let the Paris embassy pay attention. The communiqués of the two countries, such as the warm welcome and the lady's line, are all fart." Alan Wilson was unmoved by the so-called propaganda.

"Executive Undersecretary, the U.S.-French joint communiqué has come out." Chief Private Secretary Wick took the contents of the freshly released joint communique and handed it to his immediate superior.

Alan Wilson immediately read ten lines at a glance to see what Kennedy's visit to France has achieved this time.

What is in it, the main issues related to the relationship between the United States and France in the current international situation and the policies of the two countries around the world, and the positions of the two countries on the Soviet camp and the two countries in Africa and Asia and Latin America, including assistance to underdeveloped countries and ways to strengthen the Atlantic Alliance.

"It's nothing worth mentioning!" Alan Wilson took the telegram and commented, "It means that they confirm that the two sides have the same views on the obligations and responsibilities undertaken by Berlin, and there are almost no substantive problems."

"De Gaulle wanted the United States to share the leadership of NATO, no."

"France asked the United States to provide information on atomic technology, Southeast Asia, Africa, and especially Algeria. The United States has not responded to these questions."

"It is certain. The communiqués of Kennedy's visit to France and his talks with Charles de Gaulle show that the profound contradiction between the United States and France has not been resolved, and it is by no means that the French public opinion's pursuit of Jacqueline can be covered up. Inform the foreign minister and the prime minister of the conclusion, This fruitless American president is coming to London soon."

Pick up the phone and tell Whitehall No. 70. Alan Wilson called the Minister's Chief Private Secretary Dixon to let Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler know the latest situation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately held a meeting, and finally came up with the entire process of responding to the visit of the Kennedys.

The next day, the US Air Force One Boeing VC-137 landed at London International Airport. On the plane's livery, the words "United States of America" ​​are written in the same font as the American Declaration of Independence. At the same time, the US Presidential emblem is painted on both sides near the nose, and a large-scale American flag is sprayed on the tail.

Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, stepped off Air Force One and started an official visit to the UK.

Kennedy held hands with Aiden full of respect, and said, "Dear Prime Minister, your persistence and courage in World War II are known all over the world. Today, under your leadership, Britain still plays an important role in the world. effect."

"Mr. President, you deserve the award." Aiden politely responded to the American president, who was much younger than himself, "The leading role of the United States in the world can be seen by all countries. Welcome, Mr. President, to London .”

"The hypocrisy of both sides is simply unimaginable." Alan Wilson came with Rabo Butler. Among the people present, he was naturally the inconspicuous one who was not noticed.

But in the free world, he still can't comment on the old and the young and two hypocritical people?

In any case, the visit of the Kennedys to the UK has begun. The two countries will discuss a series of issues around the core of the special relationship between the UK and the US~lightnovelpub.net~. On the surface, it is still very enjoyable.

Kennedy, who had made no progress in France, seemed unlikely to repeat the same mistakes in the UK, but he didn't know that the UK had already analyzed the results of its diplomacy clearly before coming here, and was waiting for the weak president in his eyes to come to his door.

The top priority is naturally the Tsar nuclear bomb that has just been tested before. The Soviet Union's most powerful nuclear bomb in history is indeed a very threatening weapon, especially for Europe.

Alan Wilson disagreed with this assertion, "The Tsar nuclear bomb is not just a threat to Europe. The advent of such a powerful nuclear bomb makes the whole world feel the same, including the United States."

"Alan? I heard Joseph and Robert mentioned you." Kennedy was not annoyed by the interruption, and asked gently, "The powerful US air force will not let this kind of nuclear bomb get close to the United States."

"If your Excellency thinks that Yellowstone Park does not exist, yes." Alan Wilson said blankly, "Yellowstone Park is the weak point of the United States. What if it is attacked by a nuclear bomb and causes an earthquake? Of course, this is only a possibility. Maybe nothing will happen, we don't want something to happen, it's just a chance."
