v2 Chapter 1402: obsession with power

,

Nelson Rockefeller nodded, and then asked his assistant to take Alan Wilson to visit the Rockefeller Center, thinking that he might not let the guests see Lao Tzu's world in his heart.

Rockefeller himself was the leader of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, while McCarthy had been the leader of the conservative wing since Taft's defeat under Eisenhower.

Of course, this does not mean that the Taft family has lost its influence. Alan Wilson, who visited the Rockefeller Center, remembered that the governor of Ohio in the 21st century is a descendant of the Taft family.

Don't look at the United States as an electoral country, while the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, but there are many political families in the United States that are more than a century old. It may be like the Bush father and son. There are not many presidents, but there are too many people who focus on governors and congressmen. .

Conservative leader McCarthy and moderate leader Rockefeller had a good chat, and at the same time he did not forget his friends who went out to visit, "Alan came to the United States this time because of the situation in South Asia."

"I know!" Rockefeller had already heard what Kissinger said, and then got the same answer from McCarthy, saying that he already knew the purpose of coming, "Britain actually has a basis for intervention, and Malaya is not far from South Asia. From the standpoint of India and Pakistan, the UK still tries to stand on India's side, which is not the same as us."

Discussion of the situation in South Asia was not the focus of the two factions. Rockefeller still cared more about domestic cooperation. Strictly speaking, Nixon was also a banner of conservatives, but he was nothing compared to McCarthy.

It was only because McCarthy's original remarks went abroad that the election committee supported Nixon. As for Rockefeller, the leader of the moderate faction, as he himself said, many people are still a little afraid of the surname Rockefeller.

In the 1970s, the era of the five Rockefeller brothers, the momentum of the Rockefeller family was far stronger than that of the old rival Morgan.

It can be said that the Rockefeller family has never had such a big advantage over the Morgan family. This is also related to the general leadership ability of this generation of Morgan family, but no one denies that the influence of the five Rockefeller brothers is indeed strong enough.

This is exactly the opposite of the situation when Morgan Jr. led the Morgan family into its heyday during the Great Depression, but it was precisely because of this reputation that many obstacles appeared in Rockefeller's path to presidency.

In fact, Rockefeller was even more surprised when he heard the suggestion to join if he couldn't win. In his understanding, McCarthy was less talkative than himself. He obviously won the election against Lyndon Johnson in the southern states, but he still couldn't change the Republican Party. The election committee's recommendation should be unwilling.

"Actually, after my conversation with Allen, it is not impossible to do this. He is the leader of Whitehall and has watched many general elections from an objective perspective." McCarthy did not hide Alan Wilson's suggestion. Although the British political system It is different from the United States, but it can also be used as a reference.

After listening quietly, Rockefeller also felt that it made sense. Nixon was already the incumbent president. Without any major changes, there was no possibility of anyone challenging Nixon in the Republican Party.

McCarthy has comforted himself that he is no longer obsessed with the president, but he is not. He still wants to give it a try, even if it is the vice president.

In terms of wealth, as the contemporary leader of the Rockefeller family, he naturally possesses incalculable wealth, and his life lacks the authority to stand at the top.

This is different from McCarthy who was born in an ordinary family and had to work hard every step of the way. Rockefeller was born with wealth, so he was particularly keen on political status.

Alan Wilson knew this kind of psychology. Historically, Rockefeller happily accepted Ford's appointment as vice president. It can be seen that being president has almost become Rockefeller's obsession.

Otherwise, with Rockefeller's status as governor of New York State, there is no need to be a mascot in people's eyes.

How many real vice presidents are there in the United States? Anyway, after Alan Wilson thought about it, only Cheney during the Bush Jr. period became the real vice president because of his harmonious relationship with Bush.

Under normal circumstances, the vice president is a mascot, and McCarthy directly refused to express his disinterest, which is logical.

After visiting the Rockefeller Center, Alan Wilson, who returned to Rockefeller's office, saw the smiles on the faces of the two, and it seemed that they had a good conversation. It further confirmed the previous judgment. Rockefeller wanted to make achievements in politics almost crazy.

In this way, if the Watergate incident still exists, then Rockefeller will take Nixon's place. In fact, for Rockefeller, it is not necessarily a bad thing. The law of history will not cause major twists and turns just because of a change of person, and the over-issued hundreds of billions of dollars will still be a big problem at that time.

Just like Alan Wilson asked himself the comparison with the memory of later generations, he also had to watch the independence of British India and package the colonies piece by piece. Doesn't he want to maintain the sphere of influence of the British Empire? Of course he wants to, but it's not impossible.

The debt of more than two billion U.S. dollars is almost forcing the UK to hang itself, and Alan Wilson really forced the Indians to hang themselves. What's more, the current overissue of US dollars is 400 to 500 billion.

"Alan, you have a good friend." Rockefeller was obviously in a good mood, expressing a good attitude towards cooperation with the Mountbatten Group for McCarthy's sake.

Rockefeller was an American, and everything he accepted was American. In his eyes, wealth was more important than power, but he was born with wealth, so he pursued power especially.

Although he himself is a special case, he thinks that Alan Wilson also accepted the instructions of the richest woman and came to discuss cooperation.

"I'm sure Pamela will be very happy." Although Alan Wilson is also a person who values ​​power more than wealth, but people misunderstood, so let's misunderstand.

He really wanted to know how the world would be different when Rockefeller became president, but the influence was estimated to be limited. After all, he was the candidate of the Republican Party, and he would definitely adopt a shrinking policy.

In fact, it is very simple. Look at the four wars in which the United States participated in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, and you will know who is in power.

They are Wilson, Roosevelt Jr., Truman, and Lyndon Johnson. What they have in common is that they all came from the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is far more radical than the Republican Party when it comes to foreign wars.

Until he left Rockefeller Center, Alan Wilson was still thinking about whether the world situation would change greatly if Rockefeller became president. In the end, he was still at a loss. think."

"Follow you out, but you can't see anyone." Opening the door, Monroe trotted and threw herself into the arms of the man, complaining all over her mouth, and asked where Alan Wilson had gone.

"I'm going to talk to American diplomats about returning to the United Nations." Alan Wilson lied solemnly, and he didn't talk even a word because the other party was not Kissinger. After all, he is also the secretary-general of the British Joint Intelligence Committee, so there is some sense of secrecy.

What's more, Monroe has opinions on McCarthy. Although this is not a prejudice, McCarthy's image is true, but Alan Wilson and McCarthy are friends, so they have to conceal the fact that they met McCarthy.

"To be honest, the United States always keeps it out of a country with a population of 800 million. It is really unreasonable. Sometimes I hate the American government." Monroe said with emotion.

The corner of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched, and he smiled wryly, "You know, fortunately, you live in the UK, otherwise I really can't imagine what you will face."

"You said that you can protect me." Monroe raised her head slightly and leaned in front of Alan Wilson. Their cheeks were only one finger away, and they could feel each other's breath.

"Of course!" Alan Wilson replied decisively, waking up to the power of the world, lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, he was just such a vulgar pursuit.

The United Kingdom is now following up the diplomatic work of the two major Asian countries at the same time. After returning to London, Alan Wilson received a report from the South Asian side about the reform of the Indian Army by the Indian Chief of Staff. His main concern is the improvement of the welfare of the Indian Army. Isn’t it the policy that the old immortal has worked so hard to abolish?”

He couldn't help thinking that Modi abolished the long-term service reform of the Indian army. Indian soldiers have a long history of long-term service, but many special welfare policies were formulated by Sam Manekshaw. Of course, judging from the results of the India-Pakistan war, the care for the army is effective, ensuring the victory of this India-Pakistan war.

When visiting the shipyard with Chief of Defense Staff Sir Charles ~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson also talked about India's military preparations and asked what the current British full-time commander thinks.

"India still has such financial resources?" Marshal Charles was very surprised. This did not match the India he had in mind.

"It's such a big country. It can be squeezed out no matter what. It's like the current shipbuilding industry. With the current shipyard facilities, we can start construction of eleven aircraft carriers at the same time. It's just not necessary!" Alan Wilson With a look of pride, this is stronger than the United States. American military shipbuilding is all American shipbuilding, and there are no civilian shipyards to use.

In today's world, another country that can use civilian shipyard facilities to build heavy aircraft carriers to share the cost is Japan, but Japan can't do this at all. Japan's military shipbuilding industry is gone, and the United States can't convert military to civilian, because no people.

Japan cannot convert civilians into military, because it has no experience in military shipbuilding, and only the United Kingdom can do this.

"Alan, don't worry, although I am from the Air Force, I will not block the construction plan of the destroyer fleet, although I don't know what the shield ship you are talking about." Marshal Charles heard the voice and expressed himself There is absolutely no problem here, it mainly depends on what the government says.
