v2 Chapter 967: Sacrifice America 1 more time

In the end, holding the draft maritime agreement given by Iceland, Alan Wilson said that he would conduct a professional assessment. If a win-win situation can be achieved, then of course the UK will not object in principle.

As a high-ranking bureaucrat, he naturally doesn't need anyone to teach him. In essence, the European Community has more than one member state. This person is a lot of talk. As long as any country opposes it, Iceland's goals will not be easy to achieve.

There are subjective wishes subjectively, but objective difficulties exist objectively, and nothing can be generalized.

This space-time European Community was born out of the Brussels Treaty Organization and was inextricably linked to the European colonial countries in the colonial era, so the member states are different from the original European Community. For example, the current European Community includes Franco's Spain and Salazar's Portugal, and it does not necessarily require democratically elected countries to join.

It is easy to let Iceland hang out. Currently, the UK and Portugal are discussing the arms sale of Tutankhamun-class submarines. It is enough for the Portuguese to say a few words at the European Community meeting. Naturally, a democratic resolution will be passed at that time. Not surprisingly, there was no consensus.

Before leaving, Alan Wilson did not forget to reassure the Icelanders, "The Atlantic Ocean is big enough to accommodate fishermen from European countries."

Alan Wilson is not sympathetic to Iceland's current situation, although it may be unreasonable to attack a place with such a small population. But it's better than the three cod wars, Iceland's disgusting situation where I'm poor and I'm justified, and you can't declare war on me anyway.

He didn't think Iceland was at a loss. Didn't it already get the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone? The fishery resources have already been obtained, but the market has just been lost. You can try to digest yourself to overcome the difficulties.

As soon as he returned to the headquarters building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dixon, the private secretary of the foreign minister, came to meet him, "Sir Wilson, you are finally back. The minister is looking for you."

"I just came back from the Icelandic ambassador." Alan Wilson was a little surprised, and then asked, "What is it?"

"It seems to be the evaluation report of Khrushchev's visit." Dixon immediately replied in all five and ten.

Alan Wilson understood in seconds, nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go directly to the minister's office."

Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson, when he saw the Deputy Secretary came back, joked very politely, and by the way mentioned the big contract affecting the world's steel industry, "That's 200 million US dollars, enough to build several aircraft carriers. "

"I've never been too concerned about Pamela's affairs." Alan Wilson was noncommittal. He had no financial needs. When wealth accumulated to a certain level, it was impossible for ordinary methods to cause wealth collapse.

For pornography, gambling and drugs, even if a woman squeezes him dry, the cost is considerable. As for drugs, he can bury himself with drugs without losing much of his wealth. Both of these can only get a middle-class family into trouble.

Gambling is a big deal, the scope of gambling can be quite wide, and unconscious investment can also be regarded as gambling. Investment failure may indeed bring down a rich man, but who would hang himself on a tree? Isn't diversification a basic requirement?

Harold Wilson didn't want to spit on whether the Mountbatten Group was strong. He took out Khrushchev's assessment report on his visit and asked, "Are you sure, aren't these two countries from the same path?"

So this is the thing? Alan Wilson nodded in his heart, "Of course I'm sure, the report has already written it all out. The current Soviet Union advocates détente, and their Chinese comrades don't seem to have this idea. There are conflicts in foreign policy, and there must be core issues in the external performance. reasons exist.”

"According to last year's Moscow Conference, some semi-publicly confirmed news mainly came from Yugoslavia. China has a tendency to disagree with the Soviet Union. Of course, our channels are limited, so we cannot conclude anything based on this. We can only judge that China is an independent countries, not the relationship between Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union.”

"What does this mean?" Harold Wilson pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "It seems very thin."

"It's probably equivalent to France saying that the United States is a parasite in the free world, right? Although this is also a fact." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "In fact, it is the dream of every country to be a parasite. No one is right about this." Who is wrong, the leadership of each country must think for itself, no matter how loud the internationalism is, it cannot change this essence.”

Isn't there a saying that we are not all right, and you are not all wrong? Although the words are light, they are also close to the essence to a certain extent.

"Then we should consider working with the United States to divide the Soviet bloc." Harold Wilson said confidently.

"I don't recommend doing this, of course I am not prejudiced against the United States." Alan Wilson, who is indeed prejudiced against the United States, persuaded the Foreign Secretary not to do so, "The Korean War has only passed five years, and we, the British, know that there is , but according to the feedback from the department that the government never recognizes its existence, the current domestic environment in the United States is still quite hostile to China, and this is true in the political, cultural and other fields, and the attitude of the military may be more objective.”

"In this environment, making such a proposal, Washington may think that our proposal is a distrust of the United States. And economically, Xiangjiang is a transit point for import and export trade. Although some countries have noticed it, but But I don’t know how big the specific number is. If it succeeds and conducts comprehensive trade, the UK’s trade may lose its current particularity.”

Taking the Korean War as an example, the United States did not do its best, and the Korean War did not affect the national power of the United States. After all, the United States has accumulated too much national power in the world war. Europe has not yet returned to its peak and is still in the position of the US commodity market.

During the Vietnam War, European countries had already recovered their national strength, but they were not as easy to be manipulated by the United States as the Korean War. The blood loss in the Vietnam War was the blood of the Americans themselves, which made the Americans feel the pain.

The Korean War did not trigger any introspection in the United States, and the hurt United States only became more hostile to China. The mentality is probably similar, the mentality that will make you look good next time.

As for the significance of Xiangjiang's status as a transit port, Harold Wilson also understood, and finally said, "We should test the tone of the Americans. Of course, if Washington is stubborn, then there is nothing to say. We have done our duty as allies."

"Think very carefully, Minister." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, and then volunteered, "In this way, leave this matter to me. I went to Washington to communicate, which can be regarded as a reflection of the importance that the United Kingdom attaches to this. The Minister has just After the visit, you should not go to the United States immediately, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Of course it couldn't be better. The Mountbatten Group has just had a very important cooperation with an American company. There should be contacts to make the trip smooth." Harold Wilson spoke in agreement.

If not for the foreign minister who would choose someone, is there anyone in the UK who is more suitable than Alan Wilson to demonstrate his ability to work in the special relationship between the UK and the US? absolutely not!

The arrangement was comparable to making Philby the head of MI5, specializing in counterespionage.

However, Alan Wilson, who is well versed in the private use of public equipment, knew the itinerary this time, and his first thought was to let Vivien Leigh go with him and do a good job in logistical support.

"Are you going to discuss with the Americans? Consensus on China's issues?" Pamela Mountbatten had an expression of disbelief, and the noble richest woman in Britain was full of surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Is there someone more suitable than me to practice the special relationship between Britain and the United States?" His wife's eyes hurt him deeply, and she said like a fury, "For the unity of the free world."

"Okay!" Pamela Mountbatten kept her doubts in her heart, and just listened to the unity of the free world~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson was very dissatisfied. He was just anti-American, not pro-American. Su. And Philby is still fundamentally different.

"I want to ride a rocket." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband eagerly. The trip took another ten and a half months. Of course, she could understand her husband's painstaking efforts to travel around for the UK, but she still had to take care of her own feelings in private. OK.

No problem, this is no difficulty for a permanent deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who perfectly combines public and private use.

For this interview, Alan Wilson has already prepared the script about your father teaching you how to implement a global strategy, and the rebellious son will not listen, and eventually break up.

Regarding the specific implementation of the walking Anglo-American relationship, Alan Wilson has prepared enough topics, such as stabilizing the situation in Southeast Asia through amity and friendship with China. It bundled the proposal of the United States to withdraw from the Swindle Island, in exchange for peace in Asia, and concentrated all efforts to fight against the Soviet Union in Europe.

The words are sincere and seem very reasonable. If he were an American himself, he would definitely not agree.

Sacrificing the interests of the United States in exchange for peace on the front line of the Asia-Pacific, thanks to the British thinking, why not sacrifice Xiangjiang?

Didn't the UK sacrifice a lot? For example, British India, such as British Nigeria, is also in the process of independence now.

The Under Secretary of State, who received the British diplomats, responded indifferently to this, and even wondered whether it was worth reporting the exchange of opinions to Secretary of State Dulles.

"The British really have a problem with their strategic vision." Dulles couldn't help shaking his head after hearing the report from the Deputy Secretary of State. You can’t be like them, who are so naive and wishful thinking on the issue of life and death, thinking that you can coexist peacefully by taking a step back.”
