British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1451: american backyard

"The Arab issue is a complicated issue between us and the United States." Harold Wilson looked embarrassed, a close ally of a camp, and indeed there is no common language on this issue.

I have to say that this is a very embarrassing thing. In order to maintain its traditional influence, even if the UK is not resolute, it is clearly on the side of the Arab countries.

Alan Wilson doesn't think so. He doesn't feel embarrassed at all. Standing on Israel's side will cause Britain to suffer heavy losses. Once Britain and the United States are in the same position, Britain will not be far from being out of the Middle East situation.

That's for sure, the history in his head made that clear.

Not to mention the Persian Gulf, the world's oil depot, the reason why he sold the Congo of more than two million square kilometers to the Soviet Union was because Britain and the United States had already had a huge conflict in Africa at that time.

Although the Democratic Republic of the Congo is not a British colony, British capital has a great say in Katanga Province, which is rich in minerals in the Congo. These capitals agitated and suggested to the government, trying to persuade the British government to merge Katanga into the British Federation of Central Africa, or let Katanga become independent from the Congo. The United States found an agent in the Congolese central government and did not agree to split the Congo.

Except for the Congo, Australia was not yet developed at that time, and the high-quality copper mines of the whole world were in the Americas. It was not enough for the United States to want 90%, but I wanted 100%.

Because there is a huge gap between the United Kingdom and the United States in terms of capital, and the United Kingdom has already invested heavily in Australia, he has the heart to throw the Congo gold to the Soviet Union. , also for the same reason.

Congo gold fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, but it stabilized the interests of British Africa and Britain, because the Soviet Union did not have the strength to attack globally at that time, and it would definitely take a while to stabilize if it got cheap.

Indonesia fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, which also contributed to the closeness of Australia and the United Kingdom. Australia and the United Kingdom can curb Indonesia's expansion mentality.

It's not over yet, he is now ready to sell Chile, and selling the colonies to make way for the United States and the Soviet Union to confront is the second value he thinks of the colonies besides realizing them.

From the beginning to the end, Alan Wilson has not forgotten that the root cause of Britain's remaining power lies in the radiance and fever of British India in the last two years, which even caused a great famine.

So this time the nationalization of India has caused a small group of British companies to suffer heavy losses, so what is it? Of course, it is to forgive India, without losing to the richest woman and her noble friends.

The way is to issue diplomatic documents to comfort the damaged British company, and he can't do the rest. Now is not the era of gunboat diplomacy.

Regarding this round of nationalization in India, Alan Wilson does not think that all of them are bad things. As far as India is concerned, the market economy has not been fully understood. Planned economy? That requirement is higher than that of a market economy.

If India's development is hindered, Bangladesh can quickly get out of the quagmire. Isn't it just the jute industry?

An important industry in India is also an important industry in Bangladesh. The two countries originally divided the original Kolkata industrial zone into two, and they are completely competitors.

Pamela Mountbatten, who had returned to London in the spring after her migratory residency in Perth, also inquired about the loss of British companies after hearing that India had started a wave of nationalization.

"As long as you can pay attention to the House of Lords, that is your basic market. The House of Lords is facing the defeat of the House of Commons. It is essentially capital controlled by the aristocrats, which cannot be compared with emerging capitalists. If you want to get rid of rubber stamps, at least not in the Continuing to retreat and reversing the economic strength is the most important thing. Of course, if the House of Lords is like the Duke of Manchester, but just changes to another country and continues to farm, I think the House of Lords will end sooner or later."

The supreme authority took the opportunity to bury the Duke of Manchester. It is better to go to Rhodesia than to go to Rhodesia to do a farm in Australia.

After Judge Silica announced the confession of the Watergate incident, the incident was considered to have reached the real stage of fermentation. Judge Silica randomly ruled that Liddy, one of the three scapegoats, was guilty and sentenced him to 20 years in court. The impact of this heavy sentence made the participants of the Watergate incident feel scared. After all, the average person cannot bear the 20-year delay.

The influence of the Watergate incident became more and more out of control, and Nixon chose to launch a higher scapegoat, White House counsel Dean.

But before the previous example of a severe sentence, Dean did not believe in Nixon's promise, especially after learning that he might face a 40-year prison sentence, he pleaded guilty in court and hoped for a lighter sentence.

By this time, Nixon's trust as the incumbent president had been exhausted, and the investigative committee organized by the Democratic Party had already shouted the slogan of letting Nixon step down.

"Nixon still pays too much attention to face, and may not do many bad things." With the latest developments reported by the "Washington Post", Alan Wilson really does not appreciate the operations of the US president in this era.

If this is the Zipperton couple, can't they commit suicide in fear of crime, and they are shot eight times in the back and concluded that they are suicides? Or depression can't bear the pressure of work and hangs itself?

Obviously, the methods of the US president are also constantly evolving. Compared with politicians in the 21st century, Nixon is still a bit too rough, and he doesn't even have a series of plans.

"It's as if you can perform better than Nixon in the current situation." Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, and whispered in her mouth, "What can you do?"

"I need an air crash. Then I lament that Britain has lost a few pillars. It's better to do it from a farther distance. I think it's better to be over Indonesia. We also know where the Soviet anti-aircraft missile base is deployed."

Alan Wilson replied while thinking, "Nixon once said that he would not kill Kennedy for the position of president. I think this is absolutely true. From this Watergate incident, it can be seen that he is definitely not that kind of person."

The Watergate incident was so rough, and you still want to play high-end operations to assassinate Kennedy? But anyone who pays a little attention to the process of assassinating the Kennedy brothers should know **** and silence.

"Duncan's kind of thing, it's best not to do it again." Pamela Mountbatten leaned over and rubbed her husband's ear, "It was an accident once, and if you do too much, you will be found out sooner or later."

In Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Fultseva brought a lot of information, including the latest developments in the Watergate incident in the United States. The Arab League will hold a meeting in two months. Another is the Chilean intelligence investigated by Alexeyev, the head of the advisory department.

Alekseev, who was waiting for his mother's response, kept looking at the Culture Tsar, and couldn't help but ask, "How is it, mother."

"If these things break out one after another in a short period of time, the United States will not be able to take care of them." Fultseva put down the information and judged with a thoughtful look on her face, "Especially now that Nixon is still in trouble, Now that the United States has essentially betrayed the South Vietnamese regime, Comrade Brezhnev has recently expressed his intention to pursue the victory."

"That must be a full-scale confrontation." Alekseev muttered, saying that, he still couldn't understand what the full-scale confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States meant in his current position.

"Yes, a full-scale confrontation. Maybe there is another confrontation site in the Americas, in the backyard of the Americans." Fultseva ordered with a thoughtful expression on her face, "Give the information about Chile to Ender. Robov, I will be in the Kremlin and initiate a conversation about Chile."

Now the cultural tsar has to do her homework, also for her own motherland. Of course, she understands that the British bureaucrat sold off the colonies for many years in order to let the United States and the Soviet Union compete for power because of the vacuum.

But can the Soviet Union not accept it? Especially now that Brezhnev wants to overwhelm the United States.

The situation in Chile appeared at the time of the discussion in the Kremlin, marking that this time the discussion has entered the main field of the international situation. We are afraid of discussing anything, and the more we discuss, the more we will find that Allende is in danger. Since last year, Chile has seen inflation.

However, the government’s methods of limiting supply and freezing prices have caused the prices of basic necessities such as rice, soybeans, sugar, and flour to skyrocket on the black market. In terms of land reform, the conflict between farmers and landlords has deepened. increasingly intense.

International copper prices were also falling at this time. At the peak in 1970, the copper price was US$66 per ton, but in 1972 the copper price was less than US$50 per ton. The standard of living of the Chilean people declined, and the number of strikes and demonstrations continued to increase.

At the beginning of the year, women organized demonstrations to arouse people's attention to the shortage of goods. In August, retailers held strikes. In October, a general strike broke out that swept the country. The situation in Chile has not improved at all since the beginning of this year. On the contrary, it became more and more turbulent.

"With the ability of the United States, it is possible to create economic problems for a country in Latin America in a short period of time. The US dollar accounts for more than 90% of American trade settlements, and the pound is less than 5%."

The cultural tsar, who had done his homework, pointed out that Chile’s social crisis was not all a derivative problem of reform. “Before Allende came to power, the United States controlled most of Chile’s copper mines, and it was too easy to tamper with trade.”

Kosygin, as the chairman of the Council of Ministers and the de facto economic helmsman of the Soviet Union, nodded and approved Fultseva's judgment. Brezhnev took the information provided by Lubyanka, "The situation in the Middle East is also very tense. Now Allende The situation is also very dangerous. I really don't know that Nixon, who was caught up in the Watergate incident, still has so much energy, and seems to have forgotten the failure in Southeast Asia. What do you think, comrades?"

"Support North Vietnam to continue to attack south." Marshal Ustinov said, "It draws the attention of the United States."

"It's not enough to make the United States scramble, I have an idea. But Castro needs to take responsibility." Fultseva said slowly, "There are more than 200,000 prisoners in Cuba. Cuba is very close to Florida, and Cuba also Troubled by the U.S. green light for Cuban opponents, let’s start with that.”
