British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1361: next stop

When the transport plane of the North African Army landed at the Paris airport, it marked the end of this national protest due to trivial matters, because gas stations around the country reopened. If a country is to be paralyzed, the first thing to look at is whether the gas station has been paralyzed.

It's like you're talking about rising inflation in the U.S., but generally U.S. gas stations don't appear in the news. When gas stations in the United States really make the news, it means that the problem is already serious.

We must know that the United States is an oil-exporting country, and it is still a country that claims that every family has a car. There are many homeless people who live in cars without a house. Considering the importance of American cars to a family, once the oil price rises, it will be the same as the average national oil price. Rising is not the same thing, the car is home to Americans.

For a long time, the price of oil in the United States has been one of the lowest in the world. Even the most confident people in the market will not use the price of oil in the United States as an argument.

The most glorious record of American oil prices is that during the oil crisis, the American auto industry was almost overwhelmed by Japanese cars. This is by no means a trivial matter.

The North African army that came across the sea appeared in Paris, the paralyzed radio station was also controlled by the police, and the government that had lost its voice channel regained the initiative.

"The French Communist Party defines the protesters as a fake revolution of the petty bourgeoisie." Wicker took the speech of the French Communist Party's top leaders and came to the cabinet office and said, "and criticized the carnival of the anarchists, including Trotsky Communists, that is what defines the French Communist Party."

"It seems we've settled the conversation." Alan Wilson took over the speech with a smile, and then blew a whistle, "This time the choice marks that the pro-Soviet parties in Western Europe are no longer popular. Of course, the more The more we have to pretend that they are still strong, Wick, otherwise many colleagues may be deemed unimportant because of the lack of value.”

The Communist Party of France classifies the students as typical petty bourgeois radicals, and believes that their adventurism is similar to Bakunin's anarchism and Trotsky's ultra-left line. It is a short-lived, desperate expression of violence and submission, hatred and Unrealistic fantasy. It does not have the discipline, stamina and determination necessary for a proletariat.

Look at what this said, no matter which country it is, the theory is one set, and all kinds of allusions are made up without any sense of jerk, especially the French Communist Party, which is worthy of being an old revolutionary base.

How terrible it is to have no enemies, you can see all kinds of people who eat anti-Russian food in the United States in later generations. In fact, NATO is not NATO during the Cold War. Really, when Macron said that NATO was brain-dead, he was just talking casually. NATO is not going to end. You can still keep the tiger skin and laugh at the Russian army if you are not in the game. What if you find out that NATO is not better than the Russian army in the end?

Anyway, the U.S. military has fought against the Russian army in Syria, and it seems that it has not taken advantage of it. It cannot be concluded that the U.S. military must be better than the Russian army, let alone the small partners under the NATO framework.

"Secretary-General, I understand." After receiving some teachings on self-respect, Wick nodded reassuringly, "Is the chaos in France over now?"

"Basically that's it. People in modern society are actually not braver than ancient people, but the killing efficiency of modern government is much better than that of ancient government." Allen Wilson said with a smile, "When the North African garrison appeared in Paris, protesting The choices faced by the survivors are already very small, can they beat tanks?"

Anyway, Britain has got what it deserves. We can't really watch France continue to be in chaos. After all, protesters have swept across the country. It is better to stand firmly behind Charles de Gaulle, the authoritarian government that has always been criticized in the past two years.

After returning home from get off work, Alan Wilson was eager to know that France had closed the channel for exchanging francs for gold with his wife's hard work, and it was useless in operation.

Pinching Pamela Mountbatten's calf courteously, Alan Wilson looked like a hooligan who seduced the Lang family's women and asked, "Honey, how did you get this time?"

"I got back the loss of the British pound that was shorted last year. I don't know what the gains of other banks are. There are also speculators other than the UK. We don't know that they are gains." Pamela Mountbatten enjoys her husband's Considerate and enthusiastic answer, "The financial market boom that the French have experienced since they ran on gold is over, and it is really short-lived when you think about it."

"The French will remember that they have been the world's financial center for less than two years. This is a status that the French have not had for centuries." Alan Wilson laughed heartily, "It's like this time the protest movement. It’s too fast to go, it’s okay to miss it, but it’s destined not to change anything.”

"By the way, I heard that the Soviet Union raided Poland. What's going on?" Pamela Mountbatten was also the daughter of the former British commander. She was very well informed and heard about Poland.

"You can understand him as the emergence of the Soviet bloc and what is happening in France." Alan Wilson explained to his wife, "In fact, if de Gaulle hadn't secured the support of the French army, maybe NATO would have to take action with the Soviets in the end. the same means."

"It seems that Moscow is really tough." Pamela Mountbatten muttered, "The control over the Warsaw Pact countries is much stricter than ours."

"The Warsaw Pact countries are also weak compared to NATO countries. What kind of countries are they? Can they be compared with Western Europe?" Alan Wilson curled his lips. NATO countries include the United States and Canada, and their area is actually about the same as the entire Warsaw Pact. , As for the population, it exceeds 60% of the Warsaw Pact countries. Economically, it is more than twice that of the other party.

Even if the United States is thrown out, the remaining NATO countries combined, compared with the Warsaw Pact, which still includes the Soviet Union, are still comparable opponents in terms of population and economy, but the land area will be much smaller.

"Without these Eastern European countries, the Soviet Union would definitely be much easier to deal with." Pamela Mountbatten was a little annoyed, feeling that this enemy was really powerful.

"Even without the Eastern European countries, the Soviet Union is not easy to deal with, unless Ukraine also breaks away from the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson shook his head, expressing that his wife's judgment is still optimistic.

The bottom line of the Soviet Union's national security was Poland, but it was Ukraine that decided whether it could gain international fame.

This is why Ukraine wants to join NATO and Russia directly blows up its hair. The importance of Ukraine directly determines whether Russia is a natural empire, and that is Moscow's real bottom line.

What the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact Group made up for their lack of comprehensive strength was political factors. The first is the planned economic system, which gives priority to the development of heavy industry. In fact, it is an economic development strategy that gives priority to the development of military industry. Although the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact group lag behind in terms of overall strength, they can compete with the United States in terms of military industry development and national defense military allocation. and NATO bloc competition.

Secondly, the Warsaw Pact is a cross-border complex with the Soviet Union at its core. It is not only an international military alliance group, but also an introverted political, economic, military, diplomatic, and integrated entity.

NATO countries are qualified to make trouble, but the Warsaw Pact, which is not as powerful as NATO, is actually not qualified to have a maverick country like France. This is because the strengths of the two groups are actually not equal.

It is still possible for the Soviet Union to catch up with the United States. Warsaw Pact's pursuit of NATO is purely a dream. If he were a Soviet, Poland would not be able to escape the control of the Soviet Union.

In any case, this operation was considered a complete victory for Moscow, especially for a certain young KGB. The leaders of the Jordanian countries have received a telegram from Moscow and will come to Moscow to criticize Poland's actions in the name of the collective.

Soon Alexeyev went to Lubyanka to report, reporting on the role of the KGB in this operation, and was praised by Andropov, "But once this happened~lightnovelpub.net~you are in The work in Poland is coming to an end, and Comrade Fultseva may not be able to sleep because of worry recently."

"Uh, Comrade Chairman, it's not that serious, is it?" Alexeyev changed his place with a bitter face. He has not been in Warsaw for long, where is he going?

This is not something Andropov can tell. The chairman of the KGB asked Alexeyev to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Gromyko has already arranged for the next job. Isn’t it already settled?

"This matter is not over yet, but it may be difficult for Warsaw citizens to accept that an embassy diplomat who played an important role in this operation continues to go around in front of him. And emotionally, you continue to stay Poland is also not suitable. As I said before, I have worked in Indonesia and Eastern European countries in the third world, now it is time to go to a real opponent and have a clear understanding of our enemy."

Gromyko took out an appointment and said, "After a discussion on Poland's selfishness, you will go to the London embassy. The work of the London embassy is extremely important, and it is not even easier than the work in Washington. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Yes, Comrade Minister." Alekseev held the appointment letter and said with an expression of resolute completion of the task.

"Go and be with Comrade Furtseva, she must be very worried recently." Gromyko encouraged him gently, like a gentle elder, without airs at all.

However, Gromyko's unassuming performance was not the same for everyone. Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew that the Minister of Foreign Affairs was a very strict boss. Alekseev actually knew this, and he bid farewell politely before leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"England?" Alexeyev muttered to himself, he almost ran through a red light in a state of absent-mindedness, and he was still looking forward to the next stop.
