This is the whole content of the development of the UK and Oman in the new era. Sooner or later, this step must be taken. Harold Wilson is also a little lost, not knowing whether his decision is right or wrong.

"For a country of the size of a medium-sized power, we still have enough control. A military base is enough to affect it." Alan Wilson comforted the Prime Minister.

The term "middle power" is actually a concept put forward by the Americans. It originated before the First World War and was mainly used to describe the imperialist powers in Europe such as Britain, France and Germany.

This concept is not important. At the most optimistic time, the United States also applied this concept to Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It obviously believed that it had already solved Russia, just like Aiden had solved Nasser. Of course, it turned out that the United States still hadn’t done it This old opponent of the Cold War.

A moderately powerful country has a population of tens of millions and a land area of ​​hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. It can be regarded as a powerful player, but it is not particularly powerful.

Oman is obviously far from even the concept of a medium-sized power. It belongs to the country that the United Kingdom has firmly grasped. With its financial and military resources, it is enough to prevent Oman from getting out of control.

The Prime Minister and the Secretary-General of the Cabinet talked about the role of the UK in the Middle East. Obviously, both of them agreed that the UK must still have a place in the Middle East. We cannot put all our hopes on the special relationship between Britain and the United States, so there are several countries that must not back down.

Harold Wilson believed that the prosperity of the United Kingdom was closely related to the right to speak in the Middle East, and then asked the heads of civil servants what they thought, and the answer was, "Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates. Controlling these two countries is enough for Britain to have a place in the Middle East. As for Egypt, Strictly speaking, they are no longer British protectorates, and in the long run, Iraq and Oman will both protect their own interests more. But Kuwait and us formed the United Arab Emirates, which should become the bottom line that the United Kingdom will never compromise on."

It does not mean that Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Oman will become strangers to the United Kingdom. Alan Wilson absolutely does not mean this. In fact, everyone can cooperate with each other to jointly safeguard each other's interests in the future. The countries that really need protection are the only ones left. Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, whose per capita resources are sufficient to support the status of local tyrants.

Since World War II, the United Kingdom has lost its national power to reach out to Saudi Arabia, but if it can maintain control over Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, it will be enough to support the United Kingdom's right to speak. And these two countries really need a country to guarantee their security.

This is also to guard against Saudi Arabia. Although Saudi Arabia is not very capable of fighting, and it can't show off against countries such as Iraq, Egypt, and Syria, it is still easy to crush the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait in terms of national strength.

Once Britain withdraws, it will be easy for Saudi Arabia to integrate these inferior brothers and increase its voice in the oil field.

Saudi Arabia, which follows the United States, increases its right to speak, which is tantamount to bringing the British protectorate to the United States, and such a future must be prevented.

As for the base camp of the British army in the Middle East in the future, of course it is among the assembled emirates of the United Arab Emirates, and is ready to protect the security of Kuwait at any time. As long as British troops in the Middle East do not leave, British influence will not dissipate.

Apart from opening a hotel chain, Princess Margaret is also engaged in the clothing industry, especially for the emirs of Middle Eastern countries. This is influence, and these emirs are not at a loss.

Princess Margaret's clothing industry is dedicated to serving the feudal lords, and the royal families that still exist in Europe are also included. It is nothing more than the difference between a suit and an Arabian robe.

After discussing the Middle East strategy with the Prime Minister, Alan Wilson is off work. Of course, it is also important to continue to follow up on the Watergate incident, but this will not delay the call of Her Royal Highness.

"If it weren't for you, I would feel that I am not as attractive as a computer." Princess Margaret said with her arms around Alan Wilson's neck, with a look of disappointment on her face.

"It can't be said that Turing has made great contributions to Britain. He is definitely a scientist who will go down in history." Alan Wilson must speak to defend Turing. The value of national treasure scientists is beyond doubt.

Although it is unlikely that there will be a story of one person turning things around in modern society, the existence of such a scientist at least avoids the detours of the British industry.

If the level of the leader is average, it is not impossible to cause losses to the country. This kind of thing is not uncommon even in modern society. For example, the electromagnetic catapult of the Ford, isn't that the most obvious example?

In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg. 35 is the only mass-produced weapon system in the United States in the 20 years of the new century. The United States has continuously ranked first in the world in military expenditure.

"I think his greatest role is to be able to cover a dignified supreme authority." Princess Margaret teased the man, and as soon as the words fell, the long skirt on her body was pulled off and fell to the ground.

Whitehall has never been so concerned about the United States as it is now. Of course, Whitehall also paid attention to the United States before. After all, the United States is the leader of NATO.

But obviously because of the outbreak of the Watergate incident, attention has risen to a certain height. Although the gentlemen of Whitehall are still in London, the talent has already reached the warm beaches of North America.

Maggins came to the Office of the Cabinet Secretary to make a few comments. What does this have to do with the Ministry of Defense? Well, even if there is!

Brest is here and wants to express his thoughts? The Ministry of the Interior also has relations with the United States? This is obviously an internal affair of the United States. The Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Finance have not forgotten to talk about Nixon's safety, and think that he will be disgraced and lose the mid-term elections.

But almost no one thinks that Nixon will step down, because since the founding of the United States, there has never been a precedent for a president to step down because of an event that should be regarded as a scandal.

If it is possible in the UK, the backbench members of the ruling party may form a tandem, which may cause the prime minister to step down. In the memory of Alan Wilson's mind, the latest victim is Bao Zhongtang.

Alan Wilson is also not good at preventing his colleagues from caring about the Watergate incident, because he himself is also very concerned, and he also knows that Nixon cannot escape. Because it also involves anti-Semitic remarks, anti-Semitism has been a political red line in any European and American country since World War II because Jews were massacred in the war.

The investigative committee organized by the Democratic Party has also grasped a new situation. From the beginning of 1971, Nixon ordered the installation of wiretapping devices in the White House office in order to record the conversations and phone calls with his subordinates. The committee asked Nixon to provide these recordings and materials. But Nixon refused, citing executive privilege. In the end, the court held that the president is also bound by the law and must surrender it.

Among the audio recordings that were found by Nixon were anti-Semitic remarks. Nixon said that Jews were all spies, very arrogant, and put himself above the law.

Nixon said that the American government is full of Jews, and most of them are not loyal at all. But he said his Jew, Kissinger, was trustworthy. Also said, you must not trust those bastards, they will turn their backs.

He didn't see any Jews coming back from the Vietnam War, and he didn't know how the Jews escaped the war.

Of course, Alan Wilson knew that Nixon saved Israel in the fourth Middle East war in history, and ordered to send everything that the United States could fly to Israel, and won Israel's gratitude.

But the Democratic Party would not let Nixon go, seized on anti-Semitic remarks, and slammed Nixon as a racist.

Moreover, Nixon's own political operations are very similar to the British political structure, relying on the chief of staff appointed by himself, such as Kissinger, and not taking the Senate seriously, such as his position in the India-Pakistan War, the US Congress opposed Opposed to India, but only the groups of Nixon, Bush Sr. and Kissinger ignored the views of the US Congress and stood firmly on the side of Pakistan.

This doesn't matter in the UK, but in the US, the affairs officer threw the parliament aside, which made the congressmen very unhappy, and it was one of the reasons why the Watergate incident was so tightly held by the Democratic Party.

In fact, according to the polls during Nixon’s re-election period, no one would have to do things like the Watergate incident at all, but Nixon’s conceited person did not go well in the election. After eight years as Eisenhower’s vice president and the kitchen debate In such a famous scene, he lost to the fledgling Kennedy.

The conceited Nixon was obviously deeply impressed by the loss to Kennedy. Even if he was re-elected, he made this completely unnecessary arrangement for peace of mind.

Nixon himself is very conceited. At this time, he is not admitting cowardice, but showing his toughness. Nixon is accusing the Washington Post of being fake news~lightnovelpub.net~ and being an enemy of the country.

At this time in the United States, the judge in charge of the trial, Silica, felt that this might be a milestone in his life, but the judge could not be sure of everything, so he decided to swindle the three people who were put out as scapegoats in the field he could do. Prisoners threatened with severe punishment.

After thinking about it, McCord, one of the three prisoners, decided to turn against the water. He wrote a letter to Judge Silica, mentioning the following points, what he said in court before was perjury; he perjured because of pressure from higher-level politicians; But Judge Silica must be present.

After McCord's letter was received by Judge Silica, it was immediately published to the "Washington Post", and the entire United States was shocked. Before that, people thought it was a boring soap opera.

"This is really a stinky and long soap opera." Holding a copy of "Washington Post" in his hand, Alan Wilson finally waited for a preliminary result, and he also understood that this is not the final result.

Alan Wilson is paying attention to Washington, and his mother and son in Moscow are paying attention to him. After returning home, Alexeyev and Furtseva relayed the dialogue with the supreme authority, including that the Watergate incident will not end so easily.

As news of Nixon's troubles spread, he recalled the conversation.

It's like many currencies in the sterling area use the pound as an anchor, Alan Wilson is eyeing Nixon, and there are people in Moscow who use him as an anchor.

"Mother, what do you think?" Alexeyev put away his poker face. He knew very well in his heart that Fultseva had much more experience than himself.

"All I know is that he is a very honest person, and he really does what he says." Fultseva was lost in thought, but she replied in an affirmative tone, "Now he is waiting for the most favorable moment to come. .”
