British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1280: America hits hard

The latest website: The leader of the Non-Aligned Movement and the leader of the Third World alliance are all real. This is a position that India has never achieved in the future. At the Geneva Conference, India also appeared as one of the parties to mediate the French-Vietnamese War. Now who can think of India?

"Dear, what are you thinking?" A wicked smile flashed across Pamela Mountbatten's face, she felt that her ecstatic husband must be recalling the glorious days of the colonists.

This time she really guessed wrong, Ellen Wilson didn't think so, "I was just thinking, if you choose war, you must make all preparations for war. Otherwise, India will end up."

When the Indians stand up bravely, the enemy will retreat? Is this a strategy that modern people can come up with? It is no surprise that Nehru was unhappy.

War will have an impact on any country, but because of the gap in national strength, some countries can resist it hard.

Take the UK as an example. The UK has at least survived the Boer War plus two world wars. Now it is really unstoppable. At least not with the permanent members of the United Nations.

While Alan Wilson has a profound artistic conception, the ceremony to commemorate Nehru continues, and Indians still have a lot of affection for this de facto founder of India.

In a sense, Gandhi, whom Alan Wilson ridiculed, is also a hero of India. Although Gandhi's idea is indeed to turn India into a big rural area.

An era has an idea of ​​an era. The era of Gandhi's independence cannot be evaluated by the ideas of later generations.

When did Gandhi advocate independence? It was before the First World War. At that time, let alone non-violence and non-cooperation, Gandhi would be betrayed by the Indians themselves to the colonial government of British India if he shouted two slogans.

At that time, Britain was a genuine empire on which the sun never sets. When they recruited troops from India in World War I, Indians actively joined the army to maintain the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets. Their enthusiasm was no less than that of the British mainland. In the eyes of the Indians at the time, there was no country in the world that could compete with Britain. What Germany, will surrender in three months!

In a society where the sun never sets, Gandhi dared to call for independence, which is certainly worthy of Nehru's praise for Gandhi. As for the fact that India later discovered that Britain was not much stronger than the other powers, and its thinking began to change, that is another problem.

As the last Governor of British India, Mountbatten has a symbolic meaning, appearing from beginning to end, right up to standing next to the pyre where Nehru was to be cremated.

On this occasion, Alan Wilson thanked him for being insensitive, and took Pamela Mountbatten away by the way, not wanting to witness the cremation ceremony.

Anyway, both the Foreign Secretary and Mountbatten are there, and U.S. Secretary of State Rusk has a very strong desire to perform. In front of the top leaders of the Congress Party, Nehru is called the greatest figure of our era.

But in fact, what Rusk wants to communicate with the British most now is how the future situation in India will develop, especially whether India will fall into the arms of the Soviet Union like Indonesia. If this is possible, the United States hopes that the United Kingdom will use its influence to intervene.

"Although the Congress party is inclined to social justice, it is still very different from the Soviet people's concept." Alan Wilson said in his heart that Americans really look down on the United Kingdom, and a country of India's size can be arbitrarily dismissed. Did you intervene? "Some hasty thought and action could escalate the situation in South Asia. Our view is to wait and see."

Rabo Butler also agrees deeply, considering the nature is similar to that of Alan Wilson. The United States looks at the influence of the United Kingdom. Once the colonization withdraws, it will never go back. Still hoping to influence the political situation in India? I really think too much.

"We just think Britain should play an important role in Indian affairs," Rusk said calmly. "The United States has always respected Britain's interests in South Asia."

"Thank you for the respect of the United States!" Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "We hope that the situation in South Asia will be stable, and we will try our best to maintain the current situation."

But because the United States is pouring ecstasy, it can't be floating. Since India has become independent, it is impossible for the United Kingdom to come back.

If I really believe the United States, the United Kingdom is the one who lacks heart. Facing the dilemma, it is probably equivalent to a certain major country releasing an aircraft carrier propaganda video to prove that I can build it, and testing anti-ship ballistic missiles at the same time, proving that I can also do an arsenal ship, and then Ask the Americans how to follow.

This kind of far-reaching decision cannot be made a slap in the head. The reason why the United States encounters naval problems is not because after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it feels that it is invincible in the world, and then it produces the Zumwalt-class and littoral combat ships. , squeezing the normal update schedule? When he came back to his senses, dozens of battleships lined up to reach their service life, resulting in the fleet of constantly spending money but getting smaller and smaller.

It can be seen how terrible the decision-making mistakes are. No matter what the Americans say, the UK must remain calm. Alan Wilson did not forget to take the opportunity to say, "I hope to solve this problem with the new US government."

Mountbatten finally came back with the unique breath of Indian open-air cremation. Alan Wilson immediately avoided and asked his wife to bite his ears. This occasion was more suitable for Mountbatten.

In the past two days in India, the US election officially kicked off, and McCarthy, like a fighter, challenged Lyndon Johnson.

President Lyndon Johnson has succeeded as president of the United States after the assassination of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy, nearly a year ago, and Johnson has succeeded in associating himself with Kennedy's popularity.

Many people think that Lyndon Johnson will lead the Democratic Party to a big victory, which is exactly the case. Public opinion is generally not optimistic about McCarthy.

In particular, many Republican candidates have taken a radical position on the situation in South Vietnam, including McCarthy himself. Lyndon Johnson declared that if McCarthy won, nuclear war with the Soviet Union would break out.

The accusations of war against McCarthy, coupled with Kennedy's influence, made Lyndon Johnson invincible, and even the Republican camp just wanted McCarthy not to lose a record.

As the voting began, McCarthy's disadvantage became more and more obvious. In the end, Alan Wilson, a good friend, did not perform miracles and lost in this election.

However, it is worth noting that although McCarthy lost this election, he successfully won seven southern states. The Republican Party has never won a southern state in the past. Because many southern Democrats were dissatisfied with the Democratic Party's support for the civil rights movement, they began to support the Republican Party. , marking the Republican Party's gradual gain in the South.

This change has also been noticed by the Republican camp. Although McCarthy was defeated, he was also encouraged by his fellow Republicans.

Alan Wilson, who received the news, knew that this election was an exchange of fundamentals between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and that the layout of the US elections in later generations was beginning to take shape. It can be seen from this that the Democratic Party lost the South for the first time without splitting. Base, since then, the word South Base has officially entered history.

Alan Wilson, who finished attending Nehru's funeral, sent his best wishes to McCarthy for the first time, and hoped that this old friend would not lose heart and make persistent efforts.

Lyndon Johnson, who has been re-elected, does not need consolation. He has been successfully re-elected. Now he must practice Braveheart and give North Vietnam, who bombed the American aircraft carrier and opened fire on the United States, a great deal.

The first person to arrive in Washington was South Korean Foreign Minister Lee Dong-won. With the expectations of South Korean President Park Chung-hee, Lee Dong-won met Lyndon Johnson and expressed South Korea's expectation of participating in the war. This is a good thing for Lyndon Johnson, who suffers from the prospect of public dissatisfaction with the draft issue.

"We are willing to send 2,000 soldiers to support the U.S. military operations in Vietnam." Lee Dong-won can be said to be Shengyi Quanquan when he speaks. Of course, he did not hide the fact that South Korea is now impoverished and was almost engulfed by famine last year. South Korea must guarantee Domestic stability requires some economic support from the United States.

It is the right time for South Korea to express the value of the United Front. For Lyndon Johnson, it is easy for the United States to support a country like South Korea. On the contrary, few allies like the United States are willing to send troops, and the United Kingdom cannot act under the pretext of containing Indonesia. , not to mention France, which is now against the United States in almost all fields.

Both the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy were defeated countries, especially Germany facing the Soviet Union, and the United States was not willing to weaken Germany's armed forces in the face of the Soviet Union's ground threat.

After encouraging the Koreans, Lyndon Johnson convened a military conference and brought in former President Eisenhower to hear what the five-star general had to say.

"Bombing helps achieve this goal. Bombing will not completely eliminate infiltration, but it will help reduce Hanoi's resolve to continue fighting. So I think it's time for the president to change retaliatory strikes to pressure campaigns." Eisenhower finished listening Then ~lightnovelpub.net~ said to Lyndon Johnson, "Has the Pentagon assessed how many troops are needed?"

"It may take eight divisions." Lyndon Johnson said without concealment, "if we don't pay attention, the entire Indochina Peninsula and even the entire Southeast Asia will be lost."

"I really hope there won't be so many troops, but since that's the case, let's do it this way." Eisenhower did not hesitate for too long before expressing his support for the ground war.

Since even Eisenhower, an American hero, supported the war, there was no obstacle in front of Lyndon Johnson, and the three-year bombing of North Vietnam officially began at this moment. At the same time, together with South Korea, they continued to increase their troops to South Vietnam and began to prepare for a ground war.

"Do you know what to do when you get back to Perth, dear?" Alan Wilson asked smugly as he took his wife's arm to see him off at the airport.

"The Americans are invincible, and the North Vietnamese have suffered heavy casualties." Pamela Mountbatten answered her husband with understanding, "I understand, and Australians love to hear this."
