British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1186: Rival Roosevelt

"The Law of the Dark Forest?" Not only the host, but the audience waiting beside the radio station muttered to themselves.

Alan Wilson immediately explained, which is the popular interpretation of the Fermi paradox. In simple terms, a civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization, and a civilization cannot judge whether another civilization thinks its own civilization is a good civilization or an evil civilization. civilization.

A civilization cannot judge whether another civilization will attack this civilization, and a civilization cannot judge whether another civilization is benevolent or malicious to itself.

One civilization cannot judge whether another civilization considers itself benign or malicious, and one civilization cannot judge whether another civilization judges itself as benign or malicious towards it.

Thanks to Alan Wilson's conspiracy theory writings in this life, he reversed the words of Che Gulu.

Finally, I explained the Law of Coastal Forest clearly, "The danger of this crisis is that the United States and the Soviet Union are not communicating well, but in a sense, some levels are not so dangerous."

"What does Sir Allen think is not dangerous?" the host asked with great interest.

"Is that so? In fact, this crisis has a clear interest-driven decision-making line and considerable military risk control. It is only more than a decade away from the end of World War II. Although the United States and the Soviet Union have been confronting all the way, the atmosphere of war is strong, but decision makers at all levels on both sides, They are all veterans from World War II, narrowly conquering the country and Yuwei. Although they usually have the confidence and determination to solve problems by force, they also have the deepest understanding of the casualties caused by large-scale national wars. The people have great fear of nuclear war, and their support and obedience to the management give decision makers a strong executive power.”

"I believe that both Moscow and Washington are quite clear about the situation after the outbreak of the nuclear war. From the perspective of a third party, whether it is Prime Minister Eden or French President Charles de Gaulle, it is also clear."

"The British diplomatic mediation this time is to work tirelessly in an environment where there is no communication channel between the two countries to clarify the bottom line of each other. With this communication channel, the leaders of the two countries will naturally think carefully and avoid falling into their own hands. To scare yourself of misjudgment."

Alan Wilson has not forgotten to flatter him. Leaders of various countries have said that they are far-sighted. Without the cooperation and support of the people below, what the first secretary of the president is, that is a fart.

By the way, I praised that the people of various countries were very knowledgeable and generally did not go overboard, preventing the situation from going into danger.

It is also emphasized that British citizens are calm and have a general reaction.

Anyway, things like words and techniques are equivalent to the existence of two masters at the same time, as long as there are enough preconditions, no country is unique.

Take the battle of the Roof of the World, which is still undecided, even if India is defeated, as long as you close your eyes and ignore the facts, there is still a point. For example, the location of New Delhi is actually not far from the border, so in the war In the second half, India's defeat caused the capital to shake.

In self-propaganda, you can take advantage of New Delhi's proximity to the border, saying that Nehru wants the emperor to guard the country! As for what the facts are, don't care what the facts are, the emperor guards the country.

"I also agree that the UK has played an important role as a bridge this time." The host was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and then asked, "Sir Allen, what do you think of the US response this time."

"Oh, this is a rather sharp question. Fortunately, I am not unfamiliar with the Kennedy family. It may be difficult to answer you if you ask other people." "During this crisis, President Kennedy has shown a good big picture that has to be admired. He suppressed the agitation and looked at the problem calmly."

Alan Wilson said, and suddenly raised Kennedy to a higher level, "As far as I am concerned, although the first term has not yet ended, Kennedy is a great president who can stand shoulder to shoulder with President Roosevelt."

It has only been more than a decade since the end of World War II. To say that a president can stand shoulder to shoulder with Roosevelt is a sky-high evaluation.

He also believes that Kennedy must be very happy with this evaluation, although some people may not be happy.

At the end of the interview, Alan Wilson shook hands with the host and left the BBC Radio Hall.

This radio interview soon became a topic of discussion after a meal in all walks of life in London. Most people believed that the elaboration of the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office, Sir Allen, on the British matchmaking this time to avoid strategic misjudgment between the United States and the Soviet Union, was Very well in place, reflecting the still indispensable role of the British Empire in today's world.

Of course, there are other voices. The Daily Times said that the root cause of the Cuban missile crisis is that Italy and Turkey have become US missile bases, which caused a strong reaction from the Soviet Union.

Regarding the good macro concept of European security issues, the United Kingdom still needs to retain its own independent nuclear weapons in order to continue to maintain its current aloof status.

This kind of argument, I don't know, I thought it was the public opinion of France. In fact, when the Cuban missile crisis broke out, the de Gaulle government was very disgusted. The United States did not discuss with its allies and went to war, putting France in an embarrassing position.

Although France is still on the side of the United States, at the same time the French have not stopped beeping for a moment. The voices of European autonomy rise and fall in France and are clearly visible in other countries.

Soon, the question and answer of the British Foreign Office's permanent secretary who first returned from Moscow was reprinted by American newspapers across the Atlantic. Kennedy was very happy with the British evaluation of him as the second Roosevelt. Also dissipated a lot.

"Roosevelt? He will never show up again..." At the same time, countless people stared at the newspaper and muttered to themselves.

President Kennedy, as great as Roosevelt, the only thing he is not very happy about now is that the Soviets are in unison with the United Kingdom. They do not recognize all his credit for the Cuban Missile Crisis, but change the subject and say about European security, and give some of the glory to Britain and France.

Now he does not know whether this is what the British said, or whether the Soviets really think so, or that the two countries have negotiated. But he believes that there will be time to check it out slowly in the future.

I hope I have time to find out! If Alan Wilson knew that Kennedy thought this way, he would definitely praise the second Roosevelt a few more words, and I believed that Kennedy would be happy.

But he still has to listen to the teachings of the supreme authority and visit Norman Brooke's home at this time, and he has no time to care about the aftermath of the substantial end of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Norman Brooke received Alan Wilson, seated his deputy, brought a tall beer glass, and frowned. Then he looked sullen again, came in stubbornly and brought a large loaf of bread, and brought in a large basin with great air. The lid of the pot was opened, and it was steaming hot. You could see that it was filled with clear broth with a few slices of noodle buns floating on it.

Although it is not pleasant to look at in the heart, it can be used to fill up the stomach. Followed by Scottish sliced ​​ham and diced fish. Then there was another kind of porridge. A little later, it was served with minced meat with lots of chili peppers.

Obviously, the cabinet secretary's cooking skills are of the average British Empire, far less than his own carpentry skills.

The final dish was a plate of raw miniature animals in a wicker cage. The practice of this dish is to first enclose a piece of cheese with twigs and threads, then make a hole in it, pour wine into the hole, and soon a large number of bugs will breed. Wait until the worms have sufficiently rotted the cheese, and only the twigs and threads will keep them from breaking and running around before they reach the table.

Alan Wilson sipped his beer with a straight face, and stayed away from the last dish that was very English and he had never seen before. Maybe it was the original dish of the cabinet secretary, anyway, he had never seen it anywhere else.

Might as well have some French fries, hash browns or something. At this moment, he misses Pamela Mountbatten, his wife who has superb cooking skills and is far away in Perth, Australia.

"Ellen, I'm going to retire after the new year." Norman Brooke said face to face after sitting down.

"Oh? Sir Norman~lightnovelpub.net~Why are you in such a hurry?" Alan Wilson paused for a moment while holding the wine glass, and then said, "This is the loss of the entire Whitehall, such a sensitive time, We all need your leadership to lead us into a turbulent future, and without you, we will only feel the road ahead and our hearts will be rough."

"Well said, next time only the Prime Minister has the right to listen to you." Norman Brooke smiled, and said in a tone that I know what **** you're going to do when you poke your ass, "I'm very concerned about my own situation. I know very well that my physical and mental state is far inferior to Edward's at the same age. I will never deny that I do value power more than him, and he must think that after I became cabinet secretary, the suppression of him was unpleasant, but This is Vanity Fair, and I can't help it."

Alan Wilson was silent, listening to Norman Brook's confession, and finally said, "I may not understand this mentality yet."

"You'll understand later." Norman Brooke's words made Alan Wilson straighten his chest involuntarily, just like the poorest patriot in the East End of London.

"My qualifications, in fact, are not enough to take care of the cornerstone of the British Empire." Alan Wilson said modestly, but immediately changed the subject and did not give Norman Brooke a chance to go back, "But since my colleagues need me, even if the road ahead is bumpy , I will do my best.”
