British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1260: future challenges

Although the United States is dissatisfied with France's behavior, Washington can't guarantee what will happen when it comes to taking drastic measures. The American ambassador really has an idea, but not for France.

"Sir Wilson, in fact, Washington urgently needs that the United Kingdom take a common position with the United States on one issue." Donald looked 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 sank in his heart, thinking that the United States must be holding back the water somewhere.

"If, I mean if, Shah Pahlavi expels the unreasonably large diplomatic personnel in Iran. We hope that the United Kingdom will be on the side of the United States." Donald said quite solemnly.

"I'm afraid it might escalate 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 solemnly.

To be honest, no one knows Iran better than him, after all, this is one of the countries that he betrayed with his own hands...and knowing that Alan Wilson has no regrets today. Isn't it bad that there are two forces in one country, the United States and the Soviet Union, who are jealous of each other?

The United States and the Soviet Union stared at each other with big eyes, which is always more beautiful than the distance between the two countries, and put their excess attention on other places.

Taking Iran as a chessboard and letting the United States and the Soviet Union consume it is not a bad thing for the United Kingdom, 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 Shah Pahlavi is the legitimate ruler. In order to ensure the integrity of Iran's sovereignty, it is completely reasonable for him 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. Alan Wilson recalled an example, which was Egypt's transition from a pro-Soviet country to a neutrality biased towards the United States during Sadat's time. You must know that there were 4,000 Soviet troops in the Egyptian army at the time. Advisors, Soviet advisors have been delegated to the battalion company level, and 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 ended 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, does control of the Suez Canal matter? The degree of importance is no less than that of 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 pair greatly increased the manufacturing cost of the industrial countries in Western Europe, but the Soviet Union still evacuated thousands of military advisers in the Egyptian army.

It can only be said that in the case of the two powers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the two countries really have a bottom line. Instead, the Cold War is over, and the bottom line is refreshed one by one. The winners are getting more shameless, and the losers are getting more and more rogue. So the US may succeed in expelling Soviet influence in Iran.

If the United States has made a good hello to the King of Pahlavi to protect Iran, and Pahlavi dares to do it, if the Soviet Union does not withdraw, it may launch an anti-Soviet wave in Iran, and even create a proxy for the Soviet Union. The war bleeds the Soviet Union, just like an actor's country.

For a while, Alan Wilson was a little confused when faced with the situation he created by himself. Could there be two proxy wars at the same time, one in the Middle East and one in Southeast Asia?

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

Alan Wilson has never wanted to make the world too unfamiliar. He hopes to make profits for the United Kingdom in a largely unchanged historical pattern. He is also afraid of a too unfamiliar historical trend.

"Secretary, what do you mean by Prime Minister?" Donald asked again when Alan Wilson didn't speak for a long time.

"I have a chance to ask about this. Of course, Washington needs to be patient." Alan Wilson came back to his senses and assured him, "It's just that the Middle East is different from others, and the UK definitely hopes to have enough confidence. Intelligence work is extremely important in advancing. The existing conditions may not be enough.”

Alan Wilson promised to help, but after the American ambassador left, his face became tired, and the familiar history appeared unfamiliar, which was very bad.

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

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

The third possibility is that the Soviet Union could not bear the 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 second possibility is also very poor. The Soviet Union fights Iran, the United States fights Vietnam, and the two wars each fight each other, and the risk of a world war will increase sharply.

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

It must be admitted that Alan Wilson is confused. He is thinking about the current national strength of the United Kingdom. Once the United States is overwhelmed, can the United Kingdom compete with the Soviet Union in at least one direction? If Britain can't do it on its own, can it be done with France?

Now is the beginning of 1964, because the Algerian war ended less than two years ago and it is stable under high pressure, so the French military seems to be quite large. 50,000 active duty soldiers.

The UK's long-term disarmament plan is to lay off 595,000 British troops. This figure refers to the scale of British soldiers. In fact, it does not include the soldiers recruited in Nepal, Malaya and the South Pacific. .

Even if the disarmament reaches a scale of less than 600,000, plus these colonial troops, the United Kingdom can draw out 700,000 to 800,000 armed forces. Together, Britain and France are equivalent to two-thirds of the size of the American army. It's okay, if it is placed in Iran, can it have the effect of making the Soviet Union not act rashly?

It's funny, before the US ambassador talked about Iran, he was still there suggesting that the US should hit France hard. Now that I think about the military strength of the French allies and the UK, can the Soviet Union take a high view.

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

"What are you afraid of? A nuclear war can still start?" Alan Wilson, who had a mushy head, didn't think about it. Isn't it just smashing the pot? Anyway, he is a naked official, and he is not afraid of fighting. The most is to inform ladies of the same status as wives to hide in Australia.

With his ordinary brain, he can't deduce a perfect strategy. If he wants to calculate the percentage of war risk, it is impossible without a supercomputer.

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

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

"He knows what's the use. Besides being able to stand conveniently, how is he different from me?" Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at the man, as if laughing at such a problem.

"That's not what I meant. The key is that he is your husband after all. People naturally think that you must be his child when you are pregnant." Alan Wilson looked at his sister-in-law's expression and quickly added, "I actually really hope for this child. Birth, Margaret, is just a fear of having some pressure on our kids that shouldn't be on our kids' shoulders."

It's like human words! Princess Margaret calmed down a little and said distressedly, "But you know, I have nothing to do with Turing at all, and it's not easy for him to admit this child."

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

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

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

This is slandering the Secretary General of the Cabinet. Even now, Elle Wilson will not hesitate, but Her Royal Highness The Princess was angry during her pregnancy, and this time he did not have the same knowledge as Princess Margaret.

Princess Margaret also felt that her brother-in-law was in a wrong 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 was paralyzed with a boneless appearance, holding his forehead helplessly, "I don't understand what you explain to you, now in a The juncture of a major event, which may be good for the UK in the future, but it may turn to the disadvantage when this event occurs. You have to be careful to deal with it.”

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

"The United States is very worried about the collapse of the dominoes. It seems that it has tolerated the corruption of the situation in South Vietnam to the limit." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and looked worried about the country and the people, and said to several intelligence leaders, "How to deal with it? Britain's future is very important."
