British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1209: suicide threat

Some criminal acts in Japan and South Korea are small problems after all. If you don't talk about it, I won't talk about it. If the two countries with hegemony of public opinion in the English-speaking world do not talk about it, it will not spread to other people's ears.

Although Churchill was replaced by Prime Minister Attlee of the Labour Party after the war, Britain's dominant post-war thinking was still to maintain Britain's status as a global power and an imperialist power during a period of rapid changes in the country's political challenges.

In all fairness, even if the Soviet Union retreated into an inactive international political force immediately after the war, Britain would have made the above policy a top priority.

Sustaining Britain's image and reality as an international power through leadership discourse, influence and slap in the face is a considerable part of the mindset of British national planners, the military and the political community.

Imperialist policy did not die. The Middle East and the Far East are still important fortresses of the empire, and the United Kingdom still has a large number of troops stationed in many areas, such as the Persian Gulf, Malaya, and Kenya; the size of the garrison cannot be underestimated.

Under such circumstances, Alan Wilson officially used the method of scraping the ground, which was learned from both China and the West, to make Britain return to blood as soon as possible.

In fact, in 1945, the United Kingdom formulated a plan to invade the Soviet Union, and the person who formulated this plan was Norman Brooke, who immediately left his position of supreme authority.

God knows what Churchill thought at that time, but there were not a few people who thought that the post-war British economic malaise was just a temporary difficulty. .

As it happens, Aiden is one of these people. The Conservative Party believes that this is the price of victory, and the Americans will definitely pay for the British. The decline of Britain's international standing after the victory of the war was nothing short of an anomaly for British bureaucrats and politicians.

In the end, it was not the United States that paid the bill, but British India, which was dug three feet into the ground, and Canada, which helped the United Kingdom at a critical moment, but in any case, the anomaly that the Conservative Party thought happened, but it did not happen completely. Bleeding British exits intensive care unit.

In this case, Aiden would not agree with Kennedy's assertion that he did not take Britain seriously.

Now that both Aiden and Kennedy are thinking about the same thing, how to make each other compromise?

"AFP's report on this summit is from TASS, and Germany's response is generally similar to that of AFP." Alan Wilson compiled news reports from various European countries and handed it over to Prime Minister Eden.

This was all from London to Nassau via telegram. In fact, there are many voices, all of which are called the European Solidarity Club. This is the deep state in the European sense, including Schumann. change.

Needless to say, the United Kingdom, even de Gaulle was not interested in these people, but at the moment of the Anglo-American summit. The enemy of the enemy can also be a friend. Since these people support Britain, they are naturally a bargaining chip for the United Kingdom.

This is partly the voice of European countries, and the voice of British public opinion also focuses on criticizing the belligerence of the United States. In fact, the belligerent criticism of the United States has already begun since the Korean War.

If it wasn't for Aaron Wilson, no one knew the East better than me, and dredged the relationship between the pound, the Attlee government would definitely have been brought into the Korean War, which would have caused the UK's just-balanced finances to become unbalanced again. At that time, the UK had not yet Pay off America's debt.

That is, from the beginning of the Korean War, Britain became more and more wary of the United States and its Cold War policy. Policy differences.

Once the hot war began, the United States was far away, the British mainland was in Europe, and the Soviet Union was able to get the United Kingdom.

The outbreak of the Cuban missile crisis, which eventually led to the withdrawal of the Turkish missiles, made the UK firm on this point.

"The negotiation is indeed quite difficult." Aiden, who had been posing for a day, listened to Rabo Butler... Alan Wilson, who was behind him, nodded heavily and said, "This person Kennedy, after a day of contact, made me I feel that he has a lot of ideas."

"I don't have many ideas. Will Aramco be sent to Saudi Arabia, and will the steel industry controlled by Wall Street be adjusted to death?" Alan Wilson said with a tired face, "I don't think he will be re-elected. The oil group and the steel group , are all deeply rooted and powerful industrial groups in the United States. So far, I have not seen Kennedy exchange interests at all, but continue to suppress them."

Alan Wilson didn't say in front of Aiden that JFK would definitely be happy, just that JFK might step down.

Whether Kennedy will be assassinated or not, there is no doubt that Kennedy was killed by execution in public, which shows that the forces that want to kill Kennedy are not one or two. You must know that the power of the US president is extremely rare in Europe and the United States. According to the summary of some key people, the US president has the power of an emperor.

From the perspective of Chinese history, the death of the crown prince is not clear. How many emperors who were in power as adults were killed on the spot?

After thinking about it, Alan Wilson felt that Li Yuan fit this standard, and it didn't matter who his son was? Besides, Li Yuan is not dead.

"But now Kennedy's approval rate in the United States is still very high." Rabo Butler was a little embarrassed.

"So when I was talking, I said that I would use the influence of British public opinion to talk about whether the Turkish missiles should be withdrawn." Alan Wilson changed the subject after saying this, "Of course we don't want to do this, just hope President Kennedy took note of the UK's reasonable appeal."

In the end, Alan Wilson still has to express his concern for the overall situation. After all, he is the spokesman for the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. It would be unwise for the UK to fall out with the US because the US military is stronger than the UK.

But on some issues in this meeting, the UK still couldn't agree. Just as Alan Wilson said, the US couldn't even win the Korean War. Do you really think the Soviet Army was afraid of the US troops stationed in Germany? That was because of fear of nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union was unwilling to exchange its own life for Europe's.

If the Soviet Union was in Canada's position, would the United States be arrogant in Nassau today? I called my dad for help. The current situation is that the United States and the United Kingdom are discussing the issue of British troops stationed in the United States, not the other way around.

At the same time, Kennedy was also talking with Dean Rusk about the impasse at the summit, and Kennedy didn't care much about a certain deputy foreign affairs secretary who was stealing the show. "Sir Wilson and Robert have a good relationship, you Come to think of it, he is one of McCarthy's few friends, and it goes without saying what it is."

"The problem is not a certain negotiator, but the British Prime Minister and even the British government still stubbornly defending the so-called British glory."

Kennedy still did not believe how tough an Alan Wilson was, and the other party was not the British Secretary of the Civil Service. He is just a No. 2 figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how can he represent the British government? At most, he is just a negotiator who has been pushed out.

Maybe it was deliberately pushed out to use this official who has an intersection with American politics to gain more leverage.

If Alan Wilson was in front of Kennedy, he would definitely say, "Best regards to the President..."

He is just a mere number two person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How can there be a deep government? It's just a joke. Are you saying that Kennedy has never seen the Deep State? Isn't the Deep State in the U.S. being wrecked to death?

From Dean Rusk, Kennedy also heard some dissatisfaction from the United Kingdom to the United States. The United Kingdom believes that the United States is deliberately supporting Germany and Japan to compete with the British advantageous industries. This is true.

The United Kingdom believes that the current military policy of the United States is too aggressive. Kennedy believes that this has nothing to do with him, and the Korean War was not fought when he was president.

The two-day negotiation cannot be said to have made no progress, but it can also be said to have basically made no progress. This time the negotiation has attracted the attention of the whole world. Kennedy felt that it was even more difficult than dealing with the Cuban missile crisis.

On the third day, Kennedy finally couldn't help himself. "The value of the pound is unstable. If the United States takes out some gold reserves, it can put the pound into the ranks of waste paper."

Aiden took it out in a hurry. Within a year, Charles de Gaulle was talking about the US exploiting Europe. Of course, these remarks were collected by Alan Wilson. Because of the historical Nassau meeting, Kennedy threatened to be short. GBP.

"If Mr. President insists on doing this, I can only say that the price of sterling turning into waste paper is that the US dollar will not be worth much more than waste paper." Aiden said calmly, "This will destroy Brees. The order of the Don Woods system~lightnovelpub.net~ and this order, Washington should strive to maintain, if it is destroyed. The political road of Mr. President may not be long.”

The Breston Woods system has indeed maintained the hegemony of the United States, but this system is also relatively fair.

It was because of relative fairness that the countries that supported the U.S. currency proposition at the time outnumbered those that supported the British pound. Are other countries stupid? Let the United States do whatever it wants with dollars around the world?

If Kennedy at this time, at the expense of the dollar system supported by gold reserves, wants to make some economic attacks on the United Kingdom, there is no doubt that this is digging the corner of American hegemony, and shooting himself eight shots in the back is the only way to kill himself. ending.

In the British camp, there is a hidden two-faced person who has already planned a strategy to win a decisive victory over the executive secretary thousands of miles away. He said that the blackmail of the United States may be in the pound, but it doesn't matter, this is a suicide threat.

In fact, Kennedy was also worried that the U.S. trade deficit would lead to a decline in gold reserves. The result of using gold reserves to suppress the pound was that Kennedy would die before the collapse of the Breston Woods system.
