British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1260: future challenges

,

Although the United States is dissatisfied with France's behavior, Washington cannot guarantee what will happen if it takes any decisive measures. The American ambassador really has an idea, but it's not about France.

"Sir Wilson, in fact, Washington urgently needs the United Kingdom to take a common position with the United States on one matter." Donald's face was solemn, and his tone was unprecedented.

"With the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, there is nothing that cannot be said." Alan Wilson's heart sank, thinking that the United States must be suffocating somewhere.

"If, I mean if, King Pahlavi expels the unreasonably large number of diplomats in Iran. We hope that Britain will stand by the United States at that time." Donald said quite solemnly.

"I'm afraid that it may intensify the situation. Northern Iran has been infiltrated by the Soviet Union for many years. I mean, there may be a risk of civil war." Alan Wilson replied with a solemn expression.

To be honest, no one knows Iran better than him. After all, this is one of the countries he betrayed by himself, and he knows that Alan Wilson has no regrets today. Isn't it good that there are two forces in a country, the United States and the Soviet Union, who fear each other?

The United States and the Soviet Union stare at each other with big eyes and small eyes, which is better than the distance between the two countries to produce beauty, and put excess attention on other places.

It is not a bad thing for Britain to use Iran as a chessboard to let the United States and the Soviet Union consume. But obviously the United States does not want to continue like this, but finds a way to drive the Soviet Union out.

This is not impossible, because Iran is a unified country, and the Shah Pahlavi is the legal ruler. In order to ensure the integrity of Iran's sovereignty, it is completely justified to expel the Soviet infiltration forces in the north.

In fact, in the face of such anti-Soviet behavior, the Soviet Union did not have much to do. He couldn’t even stay on his feet. Alan Wilson recalled an example, that is, during the Sadat period, Egypt changed from being a pro-Soviet country to being neutral and biased towards the United States. You must know that there were 4,000 Soviet troops in the Egyptian army at the same time. Advisers, Soviet advisers have been devolved to the battalion and company level, it can be said that the entire Egyptian army is under the influence of the Soviet Union.

But when Sadat ordered the expulsion of Soviet advisers and the end of the relationship between the Egyptian army and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union had no choice but to withdraw thousands of military advisers in the Egyptian army.

In fact, to be honest, is the control of the Suez Canal important? It is no less important than the Persian Gulf in the Middle East. The Soviet Union will not fail to realize this. Controlling the Suez Canal will pinch the throats of European countries. This has greatly increased the manufacturing costs of industrial countries in Western Europe, but the Soviet Union has withdrawn thousands of military advisers in the Egyptian army.

It can only be said that when the two powers of the United States and the Soviet Union stand side by side, both countries really have a bottom line. On the contrary, the end of the Cold War has refreshed the lower limit one by one. Winners are getting more and more shameless, and losers are getting more and more hooligans. Therefore, the United States may succeed in expelling the influence of the Soviet Union in Iran.

If the United States has already made a good greeting with the King Pahlavi to protect Iran, if Pahlavi dares to think and do it, if the Soviet Union does not withdraw, it may launch an anti-Soviet wave in Iran, and even create agents against the Soviet Union The war bleeds the USSR, like the actor's country.

All of a sudden, facing the situation he created himself, Alan Wilson was a little confused. Could it be that there will be two proxy wars at the same time, one in the Middle East and one in Southeast Asia?

If this happens, the cabinet secretary will also feel that his brain cells are not enough, if there are two large-scale proxy wars at the same time. This world is completely strange!

Alan Wilson has never wanted to make the world too strange. He hopes to make profits for Britain in a roughly unchanged historical pattern. He is also afraid of too strange historical trends.

"Secretary-General, what does the Prime Minister mean?" Seeing that Alan Wilson had been silent for a long time, Donald asked again.

"I will ask about this matter when I have a chance. Of course, Washington must be patient." Alan Wilson came back to his senses, and assured him inappropriately, "It's just that the Middle East is different from others. In advancing, intelligence work is extremely important. Existing conditions may not be enough."

Alan Wilson promised to help, but after the American ambassador left, he looked tired, and the familiar history felt strange, which was very bad.

Now there are several possibilities, the Soviet Union endured in Iran, and the United States continued the Vietnam War.

Or the United States will still fight the Vietnam War, but the Soviet Union is also conducting military operations in Iran. Once such consequences occur, world peace will really be threatened.

The third possibility is that the Soviet Union could not bear to go to war in Iran first, and the United States ended the war in Vietnam instead. This result is the most unbearable for the United Kingdom.

In fact, the prospect of the second possibility is also very poor. The Soviet Union will fight Iran, and the United States will fight Vietnam. The two wars will be fought separately, and the risk of a world war will increase sharply.

Only the first, or the combination of the first and the second, the Soviet Union either did not respond, or reacted slowly, at least after the start of the Vietnam War while the United States was busy threatening Pahlavi, the situation was relatively not so bad , all in all, the immediate crisis should be resolved.

It must be admitted that Alan Wilson's head is confused. He is thinking about the current national strength of the United Kingdom. Once the United States is overwhelmed, will the United Kingdom be able to compare with the Soviet Union in at least one direction? If Britain can't do it by itself, can it be done with France?

It is now the beginning of 1964. Since the Algerian War ended less than two years ago, and it is under high pressure and stable, the French military power seems to be quite large. Although the size of the French army is not as large as that of the Algerian War, it still has 80 50,000 active military personnel.

The long-term disarmament plan of the United Kingdom is to reduce the size of the British army by 595,000. This figure refers to the size of the soldiers in the United Kingdom. In fact, the soldiers recruited from Nepal, Malaya and the South Pacific are not counted. .

Even if the disarmament reaches a scale of less than 600,000, with the addition of these colonial troops, Britain can pull out 700,000 to 800,000 armed forces. Together, Britain and France are equivalent to two-thirds of the size of the US army. It's okay, if it is placed in Iran, can it have the effect of preventing the Soviet Union from acting rashly?

It's funny to say that before the US ambassador talked about Iran, he was still suggesting that the United States should attack France hard. Now that I think about the combined military strength of the French allies and the United Kingdom, can the Soviet Union take a high look.

If it weren't for Germany's status as a defeated country, he would have wanted to add the Germans, Iran and the Hellmann family's interests.

"What are you afraid of? A nuclear war can still be fought?" Alan Wilson, with a confused head, didn't think about it. Isn't it just a mess? Anyway, he is a naked official, and he is not afraid of fighting. The most is to inform the ladies of the same status as his wife to hide in Australia.

With his ordinary brain, it is impossible to deduce a perfect strategy. If he wants to calculate the percentage of war risk, he must not have a supercomputer.

Alan Wilson was upset, so he took out the poker cards from his pocket, closed his eyes and drew them. After get off work, he was going to have a good chat with his sister-in-law to relieve the distress in his heart.

"I'm pregnant." Princess Margaret's first words made Alan Wilson even more distressed, "Does Turing know?"

"He knows what's the use. Apart from being able to stand conveniently, what's the difference between him and me?" Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at the man, as if laughing at such a problem.

"I don't mean that. The point is that he is your husband after all. People naturally think that if you are pregnant, it must be his child." Alan Wilson looked at his sister-in-law's uneasy expression, and hurriedly added, "I actually really hope that this child Born, Margaret, just afraid that some pressure that should not be carried by children will appear on our children."

This Tao is still like a human speech! Princess Margaret calmed down a little, and said distressed, "But you know, I have nothing to do with Turing, and it's not easy for him to admit this child."

"It won't be too difficult, everyone is an adult now." Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said, "But you can only make a verbal promise with her. In my capacity, it is not suitable for me to come forward."

Although the Secretary-General of the Cabinet thinks that he has the grace of rebuilding Turing, who knows what Turing thinks about this kind of thing. It is still suitable to give advice to my sister-in-law behind the scenes, and let Her Royal Highness have a good talk with Turing.

Princess Margaret murmured dissatisfiedly, "At this time, I will look forward and backward, and I don't hesitate at all when taking off other people's clothes."

This belongs to slandering the secretary-general of the cabinet~lightnovelpub.net~Even now, Elle Wilson will not hesitate, but Her Royal Highness lost her temper during pregnancy, this time he is not as knowledgeable as Princess Margaret.

Princess Margaret also felt that her brother-in-law was not in the right state, and asked what happened, "You look very annoying, what happened?"

"The United States wants to expel the Soviet forces in northern Iran, which may cause conflict." Alan Wilson paralyzed with a boneless appearance, holding his forehead and said helplessly, "I don't understand you when I explain to you, now we are together It may be very beneficial to the UK in the future, but it may turn unfavorable if this incident occurs. We must be careful in dealing with it."

Now it seems that it is wise to keep Philby, and some information can be exchanged when it is inconvenient. Since it is going to launch an attack in Iran, it is normal for MI6 to clarify Iran's intelligence information? The loyalty of expatriate agents has always been the top priority, and it is only normal to emphasize it with the head of MI5.

"The United States is now very worried about the collapse of the dominoes, and it seems that it has reached the limit of its tolerance for the situation in South Vietnam." Alan Wilson said to several intelligence leaders with his hands in his pockets, "How to deal with it? The future of the UK is very important."
