British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1332: vying for favor

While the British Foreign Secretary was visiting Moscow, Alan Wilson, a representative of the pro-American faction in London, was explaining to the US Ambassador Donald why the UK did this.

"At the time when part of the U.S. military is being restrained in South Vietnam, we are promoting détente in order to eliminate the Soviet Union's hostility in Europe." Alan Wilson was confident and explained the reason for doing so in front of Donald, "The Soviet Union is currently undergoing economic reforms. , to some extent we seem to see the hope of breaking away from the planned economy, and if we take the initiative to attack at this time, there may be unexpected gains.”

"Is that so?" Donald's face softened a little, and he thought for a while, "I must understand the political understanding of Britain, but it may not be so easy."

"Using Finland as an entry point to infiltrate Eastern Europe, it is good to succeed, even if it fails, the Soviet Union subverted the governments of Eastern European countries that wanted to get closer to us, wouldn't it be more conducive to uniting our hearts?"

Alan Wilson waved his hand, and said with a look of decisive victory thousands of miles away, "Causing trouble for the Soviet Union may relieve our pressure. To be honest, compared with the massive military spending in Southeast Asia, with the power of the United States You can take out a little money and test the waters in Eastern Europe."

This is not something Donald can decide, but he has to say that he is really interested in the infiltration that Alan Wilson said, "If you want to do this, choose Finland?"

Of course it won't work. Britain has already decided to use Finland to do business with the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson shook his head solemnly, "Poland, this country has a population of 30 million, and it is the most populous country in Eastern Europe besides the Soviet Union itself, and from a strategic point of view, this is almost the heart of the Soviet Union. Poland is in turmoil, and the Soviet Union will definitely try its best to save it. If economic means can be used, economic means will be used. If economic means do not work, the Soviet Union may send troops to suppress it. If such a thing happens, it will definitely be a good thing for us. "

"The United States has made no progress in South Vietnam. Even if we, the United Kingdom, have been cooperating with the United States to block information, sooner or later there will be unfavorable news. How can we prove that the Soviet Union is darker than us? Seducing Poland and arousing the anti-Soviet psychology of the Poles is actually It's a good way."

"By the way, there was a long period of instability in Poland and Hungary in 1956. We should have seized the opportunity at that time. It is a pity that the test of the Soviet Union's intercontinental missile suppressed that resistance, and we did not seize it. Opportunity, if the opportunity presents itself again and we fail to seize it, God will not forgive us."

Poland has two advantages. First, it really has an enmity with Russia. When Russia was not very strong when it was young, Poland broke into Moscow.

For a long time, Poland has been Russia's dream monster. Of course, Poland is a Slav, and the Russians are also a Slav. Both countries have the characteristics of a Slav.

While there is historical hatred, Poland is also the most populous country in Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union, and a country with a population of 30 million is making trouble, enough for the Soviets to be in a hurry.

"Can you help?" Donald asked with a frown, wanting to know if there are some unknown hidden stakes in the UK.

"The Polish government-in-exile was in London at the beginning, and we sent them back later. I don't know how many people are left. But I believe there will always be a little left. Let's check through the Warsaw embassy." When asked about this The problem, Alan Wilson did his part, the Polish government-in-exile was betrayed by Churchill.

Throughout World War II, although Poland had been subjugated, the government-in-exile was still there, the hearts of the Poles to restore their country were still there, and a large number of Poles were still fighting for their motherland on various battlefields. Polish soldiers suffered a high rate of casualties on the battlefield because they depended on others and wanted to prove their worth by fighting.

Since sending the Polish government-in-exile back, he really hasn't cared about this matter for a long time, but this time it's different, maybe he can eat two fish for one?

"Will Britain provide support at the government level?" Donald asked the most important question, which can stir up waves within the Soviet bloc and divert the Soviet Union's support for Southeast Asia. He also agrees with what Alan Wilson said, regardless of the Soviet Union's economic benefits Either sending troops to suppress it can be blamed by the United States. The question now is whether Britain is willing to do it together.

"This is difficult, right? The prime minister doesn't dislike the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed. Don't Americans know that Harold Wilson respected the Soviet Union?

"At that time, you can ask General Franco for help. I heard that Spain has taken in many people from the government-in-exile. Maybe they still have connections with Poland."

For the sake of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson still pointed out a clear path for the visit, and can also reshape the relationship with Spain. Because of the hydrogen bomb drop, the relationship between the United States and Spain is a bit delicate. Americans think that Francois Brother did not appease the dissatisfaction of the Spaniards.

This is no wonder Franco, the hydrogen bomb is such a big deal, why don't the Spaniards protest? Franco can't fool the Spaniards into saying the hydrogen bomb is not dangerous. This time, following this opportunity, cooperation in diplomacy broke the deadlock.

In this link, Britain can help out. As for the later Polish link, Britain cannot contribute, and the Prime Minister will not agree to tease the Soviet Union.

"There is no Polish." After the other party left with a heavy heart, Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said a sentence in Chinese.

In order to explain that Britain is planning to use economic means to see if it can disintegrate the isolated economic system of the Soviet bloc, he actually rambled so much that it was a headache to think about it.

Doing business through Finland and the Soviet Union has been interpreted as penetration into Eastern Europe, and I don’t know if the Americans will believe it.

But the biggest problem for Americans now is definitely the Vietnam War. What is the concept of the enemy has become a problem that Americans must face.

This is a very vague question, and the focus of the dispute is the definition of "enemy". The enemies the United States faced in Vietnam were very complex—North Vietnamese regular troops, North Vietnamese soldiers who entered South Vietnam as individuals, guerrillas recruited by the Viet Cong in the South, and various paramilitary personnel. Paramilitary personnel range from peasants carrying rifles to villagers who join informal military groups for sabotage and intelligence delivery. The problem is how to draw the "enemy number" limit.

Optimists excluded many irregulars, while U.S. intelligence officials and CIA analysts counted some irregulars. The debate within Military Assistance Command in Vietnam and Washington's intelligence community has become increasingly bitter and protracted.

The president, CIA Director Richard Helms, and other senior officials in the administration knew about it, and it carried an emotional tinge throughout the war. CBS interviewed several people who disagreed with the other school of judgment at the time.

They either explicitly or implicitly said that the other party deliberately misled the President and the Department of Defense. These people are sticking to each other's judgments, blaming each other for the current lack of progress.

There was a disagreement between MAVN and the CIA over the number of enemies; this disagreement also affected the effectiveness of the sweep operation. Originally, the sweeping operation was to send troops from the South Korean army and the South Vietnamese army, and the United States avoided ground combat.

However, just as Allen Wilson judged at the beginning, the Koreans have a profound style of two devils, and indiscriminate killing of innocents is just a standard configuration of the South Korean army. Finally, during more than two months of sweeping operations, the South Vietnamese army and the South Korean army engaged in a fight because of an incident of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

This time, the Rush was reported to London by the British military adviser in Saigon, and it has been stated that the South Vietnamese government has suppressed the matter, focusing on maintaining friendly relations with South Korea.

"Comprador governments are all in the same line on this point." Alan Wilson took the intelligence documents of Southeast Asia~lightnovelpub.net~ and read them with relish. The intelligence, in the documents judging the social level, expressed Britain's pessimistic attitude towards the direction of this war.

"The earmarked funds for many programs and projects were never spent on purpose, and many local officials saw the regular army as a threat to their position of power. War-torn villagers were indifferent or wary of the training program. From No one has explained who or how the program will be managed, especially in the absence of an efficient and accountable South Vietnamese government. When the United States tried to speed up the process of the training program, it seemed to fail even faster .”

After reading the news from Saigon, Alan Wilson told Dixon, "It is not our responsibility not to announce the negative news of the local US military. You must know that Washington attaches great importance to this battle. Once the war is defeated, it will have a profound impact on the international situation." Influence,"

If the world hegemon loses the war, the question of whether Big Brother can still do it will come one after another. This world is very realistic, and the troubles of the United States are still to come.

It is enough for the UK to keep its own one-acre three-point land, and there are many things in Europe, such as Charles de Gaulle's visit to Moscow, and Brezhnev and Brezhnev announced the establishment of a special partnership between France and the Soviet Union.

Now the cabinet is paying close attention to the closeness between France and the Soviet Union. Of course, this is also a major example of Alan Wilson's efforts to promote economic and trade progress with the Soviet Union. France's success was Britain's defeat, and the cabinet agreed.

To promote economic and trade relations with the Soviet Union, we must speed up rather than worry about it. Harold Wilson, who also wanted to improve relations with the Soviet Union, asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to speed up trade negotiations with the Soviet Union.
