v2 Chapter 1351: chaotic neutral

Two days later, George Blake returned to London and entered Seventy Whitehall, "Assessing the political state of France? The Secretary-General wants to ask about this?"

"Otherwise, let me ask you how many people went to the Rolling Stones concert?" Alan Wilson pulled a long face, and his tone was a little rude. He has nothing to comment on the most famous band in Britain at present, no matter how you say it is Cultural export has changed the status of the United Kingdom being dominated by American music for many years.

Not only did France get out of the influence of the war, people born after the war began to seek their own right to speak, so did Britain, but it was not as obvious as France.

At this time the fashion center of the world belongs to the United Kingdom! Not only fashion, but also art, culture and industry, the British machinery has been re-started, and British young people are beginning to enjoy new freedom and new air. As described by TIME magazine: "London has entered a period of rapid development. He is walking towards us swaggeringly, a scene of prosperity."

Jaguar has launched a new sedan, which is very close to the appearance of later generations, and it has been very popular since it was launched. If it is not on a different track from Land Rover, Pamela Mountbatten may be busy now, preparing to meet with Talk to everyone at Jaguar.

It laughs at all about the old rules and constraints; it learns from history, researches the future, travels across the entire earth, and enables human beings to obtain brand-new travel enjoyment. All walks of life in the UK praise Jaguar, and Land Rover's off-road and pickup trucks seem to be able to support the British car system in the next few decades.

These good things cannot be concealed. The spillover impact of the Vietnam War, why is Alan Wilson willing to promote the Paris peace talks between the United States and Vietnam? That's because the United Kingdom has also begun to be affected by the Vietnam War, and there were protests against the US embassy in March.

The scene was solemn and people kept calm. The demonstrators were still worried about the horses the police rode and there were rumors that a group of anarchists were planning to put **** under the hooves of the horses, a dastardly practice many condemned. The police were also very restrained, and many seemed to just want to avoid confrontation. A group of demonstrators, led by a communist, broke through the cordon around the American embassy and rushed to Grosvenor Square.

At another march earlier, police clashed with demonstrators, but after several hours of struggle, some people were arrested, and that struggle was unsuccessful.

Another group of demonstrators handed over the petition to the prime minister's residence at No. 10 Downing Street, and then moved on to Hyde Park to give a speech, demanding that the government stop the Vietnam War immediately.

The former Prime Minister's private secretary, now the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior, Brest, on behalf of Whitehall, resolutely promised Britain's anti-war stance, and said that the UK has been promoting the peace talks between the United States and North Vietnam, which made Alan Wilson shut my **** Secretary-General of the matter, reluctantly went to Washington.

Of course he didn't like the Vietnam War to end sooner, but it was still possible to make some efforts to end the Vietnam War.

George Blake nodded. The spillover effects of the Vietnam War had also appeared in the UK. He prepared a bit and then introduced the situation in France. There is no doubt that the situation in France is even more serious.

Alan Wilson expressed different opinions on this point. The more serious one is obviously the United States. On the contrary, Asia is silent. Both South Korea and Malaya are very calm. South Korea has killed more than 10,000, and now it is as quiet as a chicken. Park Chung-hee's Governing with an iron fist lives up to its reputation.

"Then why aren't there so many opponents in Asia?" George Blake couldn't help being a little curious, as if he was very interested in this issue.

"The system is different, and the nation's ability to bear is different. They are not electoral countries, and they will not protest over trivial matters, and the scale of the Vietnam War is not too large." With a 50% population reduction as the bottom line, what happened in Vietnam is a catastrophe?

From the tone of Alan Wilson, it can be heard that he is actually not cold about the wave of protests of various sizes in Europe and the United States caused by the Vietnam War. What does it have to do with you? Do you have to show a ridiculous sense of justice at this time? But the free world has its own national conditions here.

"It cannot be ruled out that the wave of protests in various countries was inspired by the Soviet Union. I heard that protesters in France were holding flags with sickles and hammers." Allen Wilson said with a cold face, "This is the evidence. This can already be proved to be the Soviet bloc. Attack on the free world."

"Uh, I don't know much about this." George Blake said with an ignorant expression. "Actually, the protesters don't necessarily understand what their demands are. Most of them are ignorant."

Don't you forget to say good things for the Soviet Union at this time? Alan Wilson thought so in his heart, but he didn't dwell on this issue, "Then you should know about France's attack on the pound. Although De Gaulle's main target was the dollar, the United Kingdom is not like the United States because of the war. The U.S. dollar is in the international market, but the pound was indeed attacked half a year ago. It was just resisted by us."

This time the run on gold initiated by France was a chaotic battle. The Bretton Woods system was based on the US dollar and supplemented by the British pound.

In history, Charles de Gaulle launched an attack on Britain and the United States at the same time. Of course, that's because Britain's original historical economy has been slow to develop, and it was disgraced by France.

But in this world, the United Kingdom has not issued more pounds, and its economy is far better than that of the same period in history. Without giving France an opportunity, it is naturally impossible for de Gaulle to replicate the glory of forcing the British gold trading market to abandon the British pound for settlement of gold and switch to US dollars. record.

"We won't pretend that nothing has happened." Alan Wilson tapped his finger on the table lightly, and lowered his voice, "Are the French always so confident? Attacking two international currencies at once? They will definitely pay For the price, we're just looking for timing."

George Black raised his eyebrows, and heard an unusual meaning from the secretary-general, "Actually, this is not an unforgivable contradiction."

"Really?" Alan Wilson was noncommittal. "At the time of the most violent attack, London outflowed an average of ten tons of gold a day, which is not unforgivable? What is forgivable? World War?"

This is why the UK is holding on to the Gold Coast. If the Gold Coast is still under control, the Australian gold mines will also be in the hands of Pamela Mountbatten. This short but intense attack, how can the British government calm down? idle?

Britain's loss in gold is equivalent to Pamela Mountbatten's gains in this chaotic war. Of course, it is really nothing compared to the thousands of tons of gold exchanged in the United States, but it is not like what George Blake said can be forgiven.

"Everyone should be prepared, the time for us to teach the French a lesson is not far away." Almost at the same time, on another occasion, Britain lost Pamela Mountbatten, the patron saint of Britain. , encouraged the banker representative in front of him, "The high level of the franc will not last long, and it will definitely fall back to its own value."

The grand exercise announced by the Warsaw Pact finally started in April. The armies of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the Democratic Germany, together with the Polish army, totaled 400,000 people. There were 5,000 tanks on the ground, and thousands of fighter jets and fighter jets in the sky. The armed helicopter started this large-scale exercise.

Exercises of this scale have naturally aroused the extreme vigilance of NATO. When the United States is deeply involved in the Vietnam battlefield and the US troops stationed in Germany are insufficient, any disturbance on the opposite side will attract the attention of NATO. Naturally, the Rheinland Army facing the Warsaw Pact It is the first to bear the brunt, and I dare not slack off.

Alan Wilson didn't care about this kind of muscle show on the bright side. After meeting with the ambassador, he focused on the wave of protests in France, targeting these people who appeared one after another in March. The student organization ~lightnovelpub.net~ find out the composition of these people, whether they have been subjected to dangerous red thoughts. "Alan Wilson had to call Richard White over and let the other party stand on the last shift, "Richard, at this time when you are about to retire, you will actually be more free in your activities. This is before you and John Rennie hand over, you will jointly lead the department to deal with this action. Britain and France are different. He will be responsible for the domestic situation together with No. 5. You can take bold actions in France with confidence. There is a principle. "

"I will try my best to draw these organizations to the Soviet Union." Richard White understood in seconds. At this time when he was about to leave the intelligence department, he knew that the supreme authority wanted him to have a grand farewell concert.

"Okay, I'm waiting for the good news." Allenwell smiled and stood up. He still had to go to No. 10 Downing Street to talk to the Prime Minister about this military exercise, and to report the assessment information on the first Warsaw Pact exercise.

The Warsaw Pact is a military organization established by the Soviet Union. The style of military exercises is naturally an extension of the Soviet military exercises. The military exercises of the Cold War are not defensive in nature in the 21st century. It is obvious that the Warsaw Pact's previous military exercises The drills are all about how to attack, and NATO is practicing how to defend.

This year's Warsaw Pact military exercise can be called the largest ever, which naturally caused tension in Western Europe, but there is a secretary-general here who is not nervous.

"The British are more vigilant than the Americans." Andropov commented after reporting the intelligence, "But we have also made it clear that the Trotskyists have developed rapidly over the years."

"Let's take advantage of them." Brezhnev put down the intelligence and expressed a chaotic neutral position. "They have their goals, and we also have ours. Sometimes allies and enemies are not very clear."
