v2 Chapter 759: Camera Obscura and Dark Warfare

"Arrogant Americans!" George Pidour was a little indignant. The situation on the Indochina Peninsula is extremely important to France. Normally, the situation on the Korean Peninsula can be suppressed. After all, the Korean War has ended, and it is not very important.

But from the point of view of the Americans, the Korean peninsula has the interests of the United States in it, and the situation in Vietnam has nothing to do with the United States at least now. As a secondary issue, the North Korea issue, which the United States is more concerned about, has become the main issue.

Dulles has been talking about North Korea for so long, but in the end it didn't make much progress, and the French defenders in Dien Bien Phu couldn't hold on until they came to the Vietnam issue that France was very concerned about. was defeated.

In George Pidour's view, the Americans wasted too much time because they had ended the Korean War for a year.

"This matter is ultimately up to the two of us to discuss. During this period of time, the relationship between the United States and China and the Soviet Union is very poor because of the North Korean problem. Therefore, if we want to talk, we will notify the United States after we reach a consensus." Morris saw George ·Pidour came to the door, and after listening to the other party's words, he also gave his own judgment.

First of all, the Vietnam issue has little to do with the United States. The relationship between the United States and the opposite group on the previous North Korea issue has been very poor. The former makes it unreasonable for the United States to contribute, and the latter is even more serious, and it may backfire.

So Morrison believes that after Britain and France have a consensus with each other, it is better and easier to win the support of the United States.

"Talk to China?" George Pidour asked, "Can we bypass the Soviet Union?"

"If the Chinese are smart, it should be similar to what we think. After there is a consensus, Molotov will know it, just like we will inform the Americans later." Morrison smiled slightly, all of which belong to one country. Diplomats, who is worse than the other with these little tricks?

This kind of private transaction naturally does not require two people to come forward in person, at least for the UK, black box operations are never unfamiliar.

As the head of a country's diplomacy, they also know that it is not easy even to operate in the dark. The harm of rashly coming forward to achieve the goal is also great. There is a saying that is very correct, diplomacy is no small matter.

Of course, it's not easy to get what you can't get on the battlefield at the negotiating table. Negotiations need to be negotiated, and demonstrations are also required to demonstrate. The best way is undoubtedly military strength.

In Kuala Lumpur, the capital of British Malaya, Alan Wilson received a call from the British Army Command at home, and put his eyes on Her Royal Highness as she walked out of the bathroom. There should be this kind of treatment that doesn't leave the line of sight.

"Your eyes are about to catch fire." Princess Margaret, who was wiping her hair, squinted and reminded when the man put down the phone.

"If something happens to you, I really can't imagine how the country will deal with me." Putting the second brother into a less restrictive position, Alan Wilson justly expressed his attention to the safety of the princess.

"It's the most unsafe here." Princess Margaret snorted, and then asked who was calling.

"Commander Bilton, we have to make some gestures, such as going to Tonkin Bay for a military exercise." Alan Wilson said, "It is to help the French grow their momentum. Now that Dien Bien Phu is defeated, we Without help, the situation for the French will be even more embarrassing."

If you want to ask him whether he is willing or not, of course he is not willing. The cost of this military exercise must be borne by the colony itself, but if the exercise is not long, it should not be a heavy burden.

As Colonial Commissioner, Alan Wilson immediately proved his professionalism, holding a piece of paper and began adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

He would definitely not use too many fleets. The big fleet would be a giant beast of gold, but it would not be too small. Considering the financial level of the colony, he had a similar draft in mind, and he was ready to talk to General Bilton.

The current British Royal Navy is not two or three kittens in the 21st century. Even if it is only dispatched to some warships in Hong Kong and Malaya, it is very incredible. It seems that there are more designations than warships in later generations.

This Tokyo Bay exercise is indeed a gesture, but the dispatch of the Royal Navy is definitely not a trivial matter. Alan Wilson believes that such a decision, which is not in the style of the Labour Party, can be passed through with great sincerity.

"I didn't expect Britain to look like a big country before the Suez Canal War." Alan Wilson, who had left home, sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Gintama with his hands on his chest, as if thinking.

In fact, in terms of the scale of Vietnam, it just happened to let the United Kingdom stand up and look for the feeling of old imperialism. Moreover, France has just been defeated in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. If the United Kingdom does this, it will bring its own traffic and will not lack attention.

What does the UK need now? Of course, it is to find an opponent who has no ability to resist, to prove that I am OK. If you think about it this way, Vietnam is really suitable.

In the British Command, Alan Wilson walked all the way and directly arrived at General Bilton's conference room. As the chief executive of this colony, many people in the military knew him and he was not hindered.

What is the difference between the High Commissioner and the Governor? In the eyes of high-level officials, Newfoundland was ready to be abandoned. As a result, after a round of referendums, Newfoundland still did not leave the United Kingdom, but became a royal territory.

In other words, it was a mistake in London politics. Newfoundland was in a special period and was picked up by Alan Wilson.

"Alan, the expenses of this exercise will be borne by Malaya and Hong Kong." General Bilton saw Alan Wilson coming in and said directly, "The location is in Tokyo Bay, this is an opportunity to show muscles, and it may even be possible There will also be warships entering the river."

"What if there are mines in the inland river? It's not very safe." Alan Wilson raised a concern when he heard it. "Even if Tokyo Bay is safe, we don't know, and another exercise has unpredictable consequences."

Although Alan Wilson once said things like shelling coastal defenses, but at this time, he still does not want the consequences of the gutter capsize. The purpose of the United Kingdom is to demonstrate not to be ashamed.

"It shouldn't be. Many parts of North Vietnam have just fallen, and North Vietnam can't be controlled." General Bilton frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "The risk is also controllable."

"I hope so!" Alan Wilson sighed, maybe the Amethyst incident, the British on the warship also thought so, "What is the scale of the exercise?"

"A task force of all levels of warships is dispatched to patrol Tokyo Bay, mainly warships from Malaya and Hong Kong ports." General Bilton casually mentioned that this is no secret.

Alan Wilson nodded, but even so, this fleet must have battleships and aircraft carriers. Although the Royal Navy's large aircraft carriers are in the mainland and the Mediterranean, there are still aircraft carriers built in World War II in the two places, at least not yet retired.

After all, he is the son-in-law of the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, and he still has a certain understanding of the current Royal Navy.

After negotiating for a long time, there is nothing to say. After a few hours, the warships in Malacca and Penang will leave the port, they will enter the South China Sea and the warships in the Hong Kong will join, forming a task force to patrol Tokyo Bay.

It must be said that many of the warships under the Pacific Fleet's home port are relatively old. Although they are still great weapons for the third world, they do need to be carefully maintained once they are dispatched.

After World War II, Britain had many warships still under construction and faced an embarrassing situation. Not to mention those warships that have already been in service, some warships that are still under construction have not yet been built, but they are already facing the embarrassment of being outdated.

But in any case, the British Royal Navy was dispatched to hold a military exercise in Tokyo Bay to deter the North Vietnamese who felt good about themselves.

At this moment, when the war in Europe is still ongoing, and the war in Asia continues, Alan Wilson is also very busy. Several actresses are actually very busy. Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman are already bosses, it is impossible Leave your company for a long time.

Marilyn Monroe is even more not a free body, although she is the dream lover of the current American public, she cannot stop working for a long time.

Alan Wilson had a great tolerance for these beautiful women and respected them in the colony he administered. When she said goodbye to Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman and returned to Paris, she was reluctant to part, and Marilyn Monroe was stunned by this pounding look~lightnovelpub.net~.

"I can't see that you are very popular." Marilyn Monroe curled her lips, "I have seen a lot of men like you who reveal their nature."

"I've always been a good person, even your American stars say that." Alan Wilson put his hands on his waist and said, "At least during your visit, I shouldn't have any rudeness."

Marilyn Monroe also admitted, and then nodded, "This is a good experience for me. If you always stay in the United States, you may lack knowledge."

"With this kind of understanding, you really don't look like an American." Alan Wilson was shocked. Is this still the blind and arrogant American in his eyes? Even humbled.

Marilyn Monroe was indignant, she now felt that the Englishman had a prejudice against the United States, and she had heard similar words more than once.

Sure enough, she was a hypocritical and arrogant British. Her evaluation of this man was no different from the American in Ellen Wilson's mind. It was simply a cycle.

"Actually, it's better to return to the country. The current local situation is a bit delicate." Alan Wilson already knew that the dream lover in the eyes of the American had set a return date.
