v2 Chapter 1471: open condition

"As you said, Sir, Kissinger may create topics out of thin air to accuse us." Foreign Secretary Patrick's face was serious, indicating that he took Kissinger's visit very seriously, "For example, accusing us of appeasement of the Soviet Union, of course We all understand that this is an American and Soviet problem."

"Regarding this matter, we can take the initiative to attack, saying that Nixon's visit to China has not been widely recognized by the free world. The reason why we established diplomatic relations is to take care of the prestige of the United States. Since the United States is now focusing on détente, then the same system The fierce confrontation of the Soviet Union was unable to convince most of the allies, especially France."

Alan Wilson pointed out to the foreign secretary that he might as well take the initiative to divert the trouble to the east. This matter must have a miraculous effect, "Think about Nixon's visit to China. We will give a sufficient explanation on this issue, and we will use this as a breakthrough."

Of course, foreign affairs do not decide a certain big country, and internal affairs do not decide France. France is as important as a certain big country, or even more important, because France is in Europe.

The current France is definitely much stronger than the France in Alan Wilson's memory. The mainland plus Algeria's 3 million square kilometers of land are there, and the weight is absolutely sufficient.

The area of ​​the Roman Empire was only 6 million square kilometers. Now France has a territory of 3 million square kilometers. Even if it cannot be compared with the Roman Empire, it is still the size of the Western Roman Empire. Can such a country be ignored?

Of course Algeria still shows signs of instability from time to time, that's another problem.

Who dares to say that the territory of North Africa is not important? Do you know why the Roman Empire was divided from east to west? Instead of choosing the easier north-south divide? The reason is that once the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea is lost, the northern part of the Roman Empire cannot be self-sufficient at all, so the Roman Empire will definitely become barbarian, and the north will attack the south across the sea.

Dividing the East and the West is a way of dividing the Roman Empire to take care of the balance. In the early days of civilization, the south coast of the Mediterranean Sea was far more developed than the north. If the Foreign Secretary Patrick had time, he could even teach Kissinger history during the dialogue, showing that Britain is balanced For the important presence of France, blood is thicker than water, and English-speaking people should stand together at critical moments.

After some surprise training, Foreign Secretary Patrick was also full of confidence in the upcoming meeting. Kissinger's special plane landed at London Airport, starting this trip to Europe.

Prepare to communicate with the UK on the war in the Middle East, financial and energy cooperation, and even the international situation. At this moment, the United States needs the support of the UK more than ever. To show the special relationship between Britain and the United States in front of the world, Kissinger will definitely achieve his goal , Didn't the British Mediterranean Fleet just arrive in the Far East, highlighting the special relationship between Britain and the United States?

At the same time as Kissinger visited London, the news was immediately known to the Arab world because of the role of sources who did not want to disclose their names. Now is the information age, and it is very normal for the Arab League to get news.

At the same time, Pamela Mountbatten is also welcoming a guest, Nelson Rockefeller Jr., the son of Nelson Rockefeller, who came to the UK this time in a private name, and the most powerful entrepreneur in the UK, Pamela Mountbatten Barton discusses extensive cooperation.

"Dear President Mountbatten, it may be a bit inappropriate. My father will soon be the President of the United States. Nixon may not be able to survive this storm." Shortly after the meeting, Nelson Jr. revealed his father's decision to Pamela Mountbatten , ready to bring its talents to the beautiful White House.

"Oh, that's really good news. But I think...the cabinet is more interested in this matter. Mr. Nelson may have made a mistake. I'm not keen on politics." Pamela Mountbatten took a cup of black tea and sipped lightly With a sip, he replied gracefully, "Actually, you might as well make your words clearer."

"The president's frankness is shocking. In fact, what my father meant is obvious. The United States is also in a difficult situation to a certain extent. Only when our two countries stand firmly together can we overcome the difficulties."

"Oh, the United Kingdom and the United States have a very special relationship in the international community, and they should indeed be united in many things." Pamela Mountbatten added with a smile and nodded, "But it depends on what matters."

There is still such a thing as patriotism in this world. Pamela Mountbatten knows very well that her husband will not unilaterally sacrifice national interests and cooperate with the United States unconditionally.

Moreover, the Labor Party government will not allow it. This is not to say that the Labor Party government is so patriotic, but it is used to it. With such a thing, I am used to the current situation, no matter how bad it is, it will not be so bad.

Harold Wilson himself especially thinks so. He is an extremely pro-Soviet representative within the Labor Party government. Otherwise, why would there be rumors that the current prime minister colluded with Russia.

"Kissinger hopes that the United Kingdom can call for a ceasefire on the Arab side." Wake kept conveying the conversation about Kissinger's visit to the Office of the Secretary-General of the Cabinet. "The Foreign Secretary said that he would make an appropriate response."

"Of course we will agree, because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States." Contrary to Wick's expectations, Alan Wilson directly agreed to come, and immediately the supreme authority told him that he was thinking too much, "But we must add yes before the official letter of the release note." It was done at the request of the U.S. government."

The United States wants the United Kingdom to come forward to offend people? It's a good idea, as long as this sentence is added to the official note, the meaning will be completely changed.

Of course, the United Kingdom will try to promote a ceasefire from the perspective of maintaining the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but this is what the United States asked for.

Once this matter spreads to the Arab world, the Arab League will only think that Israel can't stand it anymore. In order to prevent Israel from losing too badly, the United States persuaded the United Kingdom to make peace.

Not only to help, but also to reflect the unprecedented efficiency of Whitehall, let the Arab League know the valuable opinions of the United States, and soon the ambassadors in the Arab countries received such instructions, the opportunity to exert diplomatic influence, the ambassadors are gearing up and conveyed Washington's concerns.

As the news spread across the Arab world, all Arabs cheered, as Alan Wilson predicted, and many took the pressure from the United States as evidence that Israel had run its course.

The supreme authority, the man of the key, of course knows the key, even if these fellows are Arabs.

King Fouad II of Egypt immediately made the news public, and at the same time issued a speech firmly defending Egypt's interests, "Unless Israel unconditionally restores the territory of the United Nations in 1948, there is no basis for negotiation between the two sides. As for the role of the United States, the Arab world It's all known. A prolonged war hurts both sides, but the Arabs have no choice..."

"How well said, it's as if the tanks of the two armored divisions were destroyed and never happened." Alan Wilson, who returned home, watched the news that the King of Egypt almost talked about protracted war, and was still entangled in whether the chief had fought Barton about it.

"Nelson Rockefeller Jr. is here today, and he wants to talk to me on behalf of his father, Vice President Rockefeller." Pamela Mountbatten took her husband's briefcase, sat down together, and began to tell the story of the Rockefeller family following the wife's route. Confidentially.

Alan Wilson didn't speak, and said after listening to the cause and effect, "It seems that the Republican Party has given up on Nixon. I think it won't be long before someone will talk to Nixon."

"So, Rockefeller will become the President of the United States?" Pamela Mountbatten murmured in surprise, "This is equivalent to you becoming the Prime Minister... My dear, slip of the tongue."

"Even if he replaces Nixon, it will be difficult to undo the bad influence." His wife, Alan Wilson, continued regardless of the gaffe, "I think Rockefeller will solve the Israeli problem in Nixon, and then come forward to find Nixon. Nixon Are there no conditions? At least let Rockefeller promise that he will not settle accounts later before agreeing to step down?"

Another thing that Pamela Mountbatten said was that the United States sincerely wants to work with the United Kingdom to solve the current worldwide economic problems~lightnovelpub.net~ unexpectedly found Pamela Mountbatten, a businessman .

Allen Wilson knew right away, "Promoting oil prices to tie up the dollar? Digesting the hundreds of billions of dollars in excess will definitely cause inflation, and short-term economic problems are inevitable. However, the Rockefeller family is an oil tycoon, and the world is driven by oil. The price increase pays the bill, and the Rockefeller family is just an exception."

"So what do you think, if you don't agree, I will reject him." Pamela Mountbatten said obediently. Of course, she knew that her husband had always defended the interests of Britain.

"This is really a difficult choice. Saudi Arabia is the country with the lowest oil production cost among the countries in the Middle East. It can even be 50% lower than the cost of the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. In fact, the United States only needs to persuade Saudi Arabia to do this. But because there are still British troops in the Middle East, especially in the Persian Gulf, if we strongly resist, this will be a tug of war. Even if the United States finally achieves its goal, it will suffer from long-term inflation, and of course the United States will use All means are used to force Europe to submit."

Alan Wilson explained to his wife the stakes. Why can't Europe get rid of Russian natural gas in a short time? The most fundamental reason is cheap.

Saudi Arabia is the country with the lowest cost of oil production in the world. Don’t look at the fact that Britain seemed not afraid of the oil embargo when it dealt with Iran, but Saudi Arabia is completely different.

"Then what to do? Does Europe have the ability to resist?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, "Can you settle this problem, how about United France?"

"It's not a problem between our two countries. The US military is all over Europe." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about what kind of conditions to ask. The problem with the yen should be resolved, and there should be other benefits to fight for. Whitehall make me a list."
