v2 Chapter 1479: Victory of the Red Navy

"Secretary-General, the UN's latest resolution on the Middle East war, as well as the statements of both Israel and the Arabs."

At No. 70, Whitehall, London, Alan Wilson had just started work, and Wick was already waiting here at the Office of the Cabinet Secretary. When he saw his immediate boss appear, he immediately reported the latest situation.

"What's going on here with the governor of Hong Kong." Alan Wilson explained as soon as he opened his mouth, what does it mean to not follow the routine, the Middle East war? For him, this is already the last hot spot.

"Of course there is news." Wick showed that he had become a good doctor after a long illness, and he knew who his immediate boss was. He also showed the records of MacLehose's trip to Japan.

"It's nothing, let's sit together." Alan Wilson pushed the door open, and extended an invitation with a satisfied smile. It is said that it is good at disguising, but Alan Wilson believes that it is impossible for a democratically elected country to be perfect.

This is a flaw in the democratic election system that has been born from the womb, and it cannot be avoided.

So while flipping through the documents brought by Wick, Alan Wilson gave instructions with one mind, "Keep an eye on the representatives of the Japanese ruling party, opposition parties, and companies, including the Japan Keidanren Federation, the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Any statement from anyone in the Economic Friends Association, as long as there is one person who expresses a strong opinion on Arabia. I want this statement to spread throughout the Arab world immediately."

"I know, I'm just a little confused." Wick opened his mouth and said inexplicably, "Japan is also part of the free world, right?"

"It is also a competitor of the British industry. In fact, the industries of Germany, Japan and the UK are extremely overlapping." Alan Wilson replied blankly, "God bless, Japan is also on the embargo list this time, we must make good use of it For this opportunity, if there is an economic recession in Japan, the responsibility lies with the Arab League. If you do it again in the future, you may not find such a good opportunity.”

The so-called chaos in the world is good, or that chaos can be a ladder. This is an opportunity that the UK can't wait for a long time. Even if it is a recession for a year, it can give the UK a breath of air.

"We take the opportunity to break the legs of our competitors, so we can show our own economy?" Allen Wilson said with a smile, "Japan should also calm down the overheated economy, otherwise it is prone to economic crisis, which is good for everyone all good."

MacLehose is still thousands of miles away, talking to the Japanese about the Anglo-Japanese alliance in the new era. Here, Alan Wilson is already thinking about how to pull Japan into the whirlpool.

The situation of the war in the Middle East and the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Mediterranean are very important on TV, but for him, what will happen to Japan, which has a high degree of industrial overlap with the United Kingdom, and whether it can stumble is what matters.

While he was planning a better future for the country, the Arab League also turned its proud eyes to the East after winning the European side.

King Faisal of Saudi Arabia has delivered a message: If Japan does not announce its support for the Arabs this week, before the next meeting of the Arab League, its oil supplies will be cut off.

To be on the safe side, King Faisal also asked the head of the oil department, Sheikh Yamani, who had just returned from Vienna, to publicly issue a statement specifically aimed at Japan. There are just three days left until the OPEC meeting.

Sheikh Yamani declared: "Japan should determine its own policy. If it, like most of the European Community, does not want to see a further reduction in oil supply in December, then it should take public action to show that it is a friend of the Arab cause and should declare his support for the Arab cause."

The news that Japan was screened at this time was that it was the United States and the Soviet Union that expressed their understanding and approval of the United Nations meeting that Egypt and Jordan proposed a ceasefire.

The British ambassador to the United States anxiously waited for Rockefeller's summons, and was relieved only when Rockefeller's affairs officer appeared.

The United Kingdom has used all its current diplomatic energy, and of course it cannot let go of Rockefeller, who is the most hopeful to become the President of the United States after Nixon. As long as the United States says a word, Japan will fall into a trap.

"The United Kingdom has tried its best to cooperate with the dilution of the United States' over-issued currency, but in terms of production capacity, Japan is also a big player in today's international community. Only in this way can the dollar quickly overcome the difficulties."

The two of Rockefeller talked for a long time, and I have to say that he partly agrees with the views of the British. Although the former empire on which the sun never sets has escaped the oil embargo this time, it still has a clear understanding of the current situation.

Nonsense, don't you understand that it is not embargoed by oil with other countries? Rockefeller lamented that the vision of the old imperialism is still there, and he can only slowly find a way to deal with it. "Of course the United States supports Japan's firm stand in the face of rude blackmail."

"Britain hopes to work with the United States to restore the aftermath of the Vietnam War and jointly deal with threats to the free world. Just like Prime Minister Churchill said, Britain and the United States rule the world together."

"In fact, the UK knows very well that only the US has the ability to control oil prices. The UK hopes to stand with the US at any time."

After receiving news from the United States, Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka convened a meeting of senators. Takeo Miki, a congressman who graduated from the University of Southern California, firmly supported the national policy that Japan should stand with the United States in the Senate. "Japan's prosperity is based on cooperation with the United States. In terms of economic ties, no matter what happens, Japan should not deviate from this principle. I hope the prime minister can pay attention to this, as for the war between Arabs and Israel, it has nothing to do with Japan.”

What happened in the Japanese Senate quickly spread to the Middle East without any obstacles. The Emir Sabah III of Kuwait immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Japan, "Then let Japan enjoy the treatment of the Netherlands. We have nothing to do with the Japanese." It's easy to talk about."

In this way, Japan became the second country to be targeted by the Arab League after the Netherlands. Compared with Japan and South Korea President Park Chung-hee, he resolutely withstood the pressure from all parties, and on behalf of South Korea expressed the hope of reaching an understanding with the Arab world, "ready to support them at the United Nations policy, special assistance to the Palestinians, and direct economic and technical cooperation with all developing countries in the Arab world."

"From now on, this war in the Middle East is meaningless to us." Alan Wilson walked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expressed his gratitude to all his colleagues. "During this difficult time, everyone has made their own contributions. A lot of hard work has been done to protect the interests of the UK. This result is also satisfactory to the British citizens, and everyone's hard work has not been in vain. With a little luck and the blessing of unwavering Li philosophy, this result has been achieved."

Of course, Wick knew that his immediate boss was referring to Japan being regarded as a typical thing by the Arab League, "Secretary General, Japan's response is indeed the greatest good thing for Britain;."

"That kind of eggless country, it's right to bully them, don't worry about any consequences, there will be no consequences."

Alan Wilson said expressionlessly, "The world should be ruled by English. After all, the Soviet Union is also a part of Europe, and the Soviet Union is not easy to mess with. As for other civilizations, they dare not confront us even if they are scared to death. Don't care about them. idea."

The Arab League has already said that it can talk about it, which means that this Middle East war has an opportunity to end. Now it depends on the outcome of the US-Soviet confrontation in the Mediterranean that has already created an atmosphere.

This face-to-face showdown is still going on. Since the beginning of the war, the ratio of the number of US-Soviet navies in the Mediterranean Sea has been 48 to 57. The U.S. fleet includes the flagship "Little Rock" and four nuclear attack submarines deployed south of Crete, the 60th Task Force (composed of the "Independence" and "Roosevelt" aircraft carrier formations) and the 61st Amphibious Task Force.

The opposing Soviet Fifth Squadron had eleven submarines, cruisers, several destroyers, and a group of medium-sized landing ships, minesweepers, frigates, and auxiliary ships.

At this moment, the strength of the Fifth Squadron was able to increase rapidly because of the special political situation arising from the Middle East crisis.

As the war time prolongs, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com naturally has more and more warships on both sides, and the combat formations of the Soviet Navy have been tracking the "Independence" and "Roosevelt" aircraft carriers. The situation of the latter two is very bad. Since Washington wants the task force to be as close to the theater as possible to express the political position of the United States, the maneuvering space of the aircraft carrier formation is extremely limited.

Up to now, the Eastern Mediterranean has gathered ninety-five warships and submarines, plus the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy, but the Eastern Mediterranean of one million square kilometers has piled up more than one hundred of the two most powerful countries in the world. Sixty searches of various types of ships have far exceeded the scale of the confrontation in the Bay of Bengal.

This confrontation is like two behemoths sitting in a pond, face to face in a place that is most unsuitable for naval warfare, and there is absolutely no precedent for confrontation.

Now that Israel has agreed to the UN's ceasefire plan, the United States is naturally unwilling to stare at the Soviets aggrievedly in this uncomfortable battlefield environment.

In the end, Washington issued an order for the U.S. Navy to withdraw from the sea area. From a tactical point of view, this decision of the United States provided the fleet with maneuvering space and made it more difficult for Soviet warships to attack.

On a strategic level, however, there is no doubt that this is a clear signal from the White House to Moscow that the Americans are willing to reconcile.

"The Red Navy has really swelled up. This is the only country in the world that can retreat three aircraft carrier battle groups."

Alan Wilson lamented that after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union knew its shame and acted bravely, but now that it is over, the follow-up of this big drama is not worth caring about.

Just as the value automatically disappears after Japan is regarded as a model, this is a long struggle, and it is only halfway through at best.

I'm in a very mixed mood today.
