British civil servant

Only then did people know that the Soviet Union had conducted an unprecedented nuclear test, which was powerful enough to affect the whole world.A day later, the Soviet Union sent a high-altitude reconnaissance plane to take pictures of the Xindi Island nuclear test site to assess the impact of the nuclear test.

In the photos taken, the two-meter-deep layer of ice, snow and permafrost has disappeared. The entire ground is covered with things that look like shards of glass, and the dust, sand and stones have become crystals due to high temperature melting.

Crowds of blind seagulls were piled up on the ground, they fell from the high-altitude nuclear radiation.All around the island were dead deer and bears, all scorched by the energy of the radiant light.All living things are gone.

After a short period of silence, the world's public opinion was in an uproar, and all kinds of exaggerated reports emerged one after another. Some newspapers even said that the Soviets were going to blow up the earth, and public opinion was boiling.

In ancient times, it was related to public reading Spring and Autumn, but now Sir Wilson pays attention to The Sun.Allen Wilson remained calm, put down the Sun, and was going to the Foreign Secretary to discuss countermeasures.

Chapter 130 World Peace

"Alan, you're here." Rabo Butler saw Alan Wilson push the door in, nodded immediately and said, "You've heard about it, what do you think?"

"What did you hear?" Alan Wilson asked rhetorically after sitting down, and he couldn't get Rabo Butler out of his mind. test."

"It's a small thing." Alan Wilson nodded, and then there was no more.

This kind of reaction puzzled Rabo Butler, "You don't have anything to say about the most powerful nuclear bomb in the world?"

"No!" Alan Wilson replied bluntly, without giving the foreign minister a step. "The equivalent is so large, I have nothing to comment on. What does the minister want me to say?"

"How to deal with it? You don't have an opinion." Rabo Butler didn't understand why Alan Wilson was so indifferent, which was very different from usual.

"My opinion is irrelevant, anyway, the UK is not the Soviet Union's opponent." Alan Wilson shrugged, "It's not like the UK doesn't have a 500-million-yield nuclear bomb. The Soviet Union launched it against the UK, and the UK launched it against the Soviet Union. It's the same. Fighting is all about the same result, if the minister thinks that Britain has to do something? I don’t know what it is, can you give me some hints? Be more cautious, or be more aggressive? "

Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask questions, and then waited for an answer. How busy he is, he is doing counter-espionage work recently, and he also talked about biological evolution with the president of the Biological Association. Summarize the conclusion.

Of course, the above tasks are not important. Of course, the more important issue is the issue of the next generation. The discussion between him and Vivien Leigh during the growth of their son is more important. The more important thing is whether to buy a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce. .

Compared with these things, is the Soviet Tsarist nuclear bomb important?It may be very important in the eyes of some people, but he definitely doesn't think so. The reason is like what he said, Britain can't beat the Soviet Union, so why pay attention to these?

"What is the suggestion to be more cautious?" Rabo Butler asked, to see what advice the executive deputy secretary could give.

"Maybe we should do something, but it's too late." Alan Wilson answered calmly.

"So what about something more radical?" Rabo Butler shook his head directly, which was obviously not the answer he wanted.

"Minister, you are very courageous." Alan Wilson took a deep look at the minister, and said while thinking, "Actually, the Tsar's nuclear bomb has not reached its maximum power, even if it is the Soviet Union, it wants to find a place with a large land and few people. It is not easy to maximize the power of nuclear bombs, but the free world is not without such venues."

"Theoretically, the power of thermonuclear weapons is unlimited, and it depends on whether we dare to increase the size. If we adopt a radical response, we must first find a test site with a large area and few people."

"For example, Australia?" Rabo Butler asked back, wondering if Alan Wilson meant that.

"For example, no, that is the Commonwealth of Nations." Alan Wilson almost bit off his tongue. His wife lives in Australia. Is this minister reliable?Could it be the Soviet spies planted in the British Empire?Should look it up.

"The Sahara desert of 700 million square kilometers is a very good test site. If France doesn't mind, we can work together with France to make more powerful nuclear bombs. The Soviet Union made 5000 million tons, and we will make [-] million tons. , no matter how much the Soviet Union increases the yield, we can make a nuclear bomb twice as large."

"The locals will be dissatisfied." Rabo Butler gasped, did the other party know what he was talking about?

Want to compare with the Soviets?The test results this time have reached 6000 million tons. Isn't the UK going to respond with an equivalent of 2000 million tons?

"The dissatisfaction of the local people is actually irrelevant. People are not equal, just like the temperature of the earth is uneven."

Alan Wilson muttered lightly, "Many factors may interfere with the realization of this idea, but the dissatisfaction of the locals is really not a reason."

According to the calculation of the inequality of public opinion caused in Alan Wilson's mind, the value of the British and the value of African blacks should be converted to about 100 to 500.The death of [-] people in the UK is roughly equivalent to the death of [-] million Africans.

Rabo Butler still couldn't agree with this suggestion, "It's too radical, is there any other way."

"Ask the Americans how to respond, and whether there is anything that requires the cooperation of the UK." Alan Wilson's eyes flashed unsurprisingly, "If the US has no intention of responding, why should the UK respond? Existence is fine, as long as we have the heart to be an ostrich, no one can make us stick our heads out again."

"Isn't this too accidental?" Rabo Butler couldn't help but smiled wryly. He felt that he was really behind the times. What are young people thinking now?

"Now people all over the world are watching the reaction of the United States." Alan Wilson looked very confident in the United States.

Of course, he doesn't know where this confidence lies. According to his memory, the Tsar nuclear bomb is the nuclear weapon with the largest yield in the world, and the United States has not responded at all.

However, Britain can use public opinion to look forward to the reaction of the United States. As a diplomatic worker, how could he not maintain a friendly relationship with the media?

It’s just that Alan Wilson has never used the government’s pressure or kidnapped him with personal relationships. The way he has a good relationship with the media is very simple, give money...

"Now the whole world is waiting for the response from the United States..." The way to increase money has always been immediate. After a short silence, the allies, mainly the United Kingdom, put the hope of the free world on the United States .

All countries believe that the United States will not allow the Soviet Union to coerce, threaten, demonstrate, or embarrass the free world.

Now the United States has become the hope of the entire free world. I don’t know how the United States feels about being kidnapped by this kind of morality. Anyway, Alan Wilson just sits and watches.

The high-level Pentagon is extremely indignant at this kind of kidnapping, and of course this indignation is limited to the interior of the Pentagon.These allies really don’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement, let the United States respond?How did the United States respond?

Where can I find such a large test site to respond to? Anyway, there is no such place in the United States. Is it in Alaska?

This also has to be scruples about the ideas of Canadians.Even Australia, the most reliable ally, dare not allow the United States to create a bomb that is more powerful than the Soviet Union's nuclear bomb and test it on its own soil.

The first response of the Pentagon is to build new defense facilities to ensure that in the face of such a powerful nuclear bomb attack in a nuclear war, the top leaders of the United States will not be caught in the same pot.

Charles, the former US Secretary of Defense Assistant, submitted a plan to build a super underground command center to Secretary of Defense Robert. According to the content of the plan, this command center is mainly used to defend against non-precautionary nuclear strikes.

However, after the Soviet Union tested the Tsar Bomb, the U.S. military changed the plan and finally decided to build a super underground command center.

This super command center was built near the Pentagon. When the nuclear bomb hits, the top U.S. military executives in the Pentagon have time to enter it, so as not to be beheaded by the Soviet nuclear missile.

This underground command center is 1000 feet from the surface, that is, a command center is built underground at a depth of [-] meters, and it can prevent nuclear weapons with a total yield of [-] million tons to [-] million tons.

"Are you kidding?" Facing the proposal sent, Kennedy said directly to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, "What's the point of this plan, a super command center 1000 meters underground? And next to the Pentagon? This will make What do voters think? Citizens will think the military has lost faith in America."

"But we can't just do nothing." Robert McNamara was also in a dilemma. The Secretary of Defense is not a soldier, and he has to be careful when dealing with those high-level military officials in the Pentagon.

"You tell the Pentagon directly that the president has already vetoed this meaningless, impossible-to-secret, costly, and completely whimsical plan." Kennedy replied with displeasure, "Either we don't respond at all, or we don't use this plan." way to respond."

Anyway, Kennedy felt that instead of responding in this way, it would be better not to respond, which is completely negative.

Compared with the silence on the American side, Khrushchev rose up in Versailles. When evaluating the power of the Tsarist nuclear bomb, he commented very sadly, "We could have tested a larger hydrogen bomb, but we didn't want to shatter our own window panes."

The United States made up its mind not to respond in terms of equivalents. Naturally, public opinion in Europe could not hold on to it all the time. Instead, they began to call for peace, calling on the United States and the Soviet Union not to let the world fall into a nuclear war.

After that, it seemed as if everything was business as usual, nothing changed.Alan Wilson accompanies Hepburn to the opera house to listen to the opera, accompany her to the concerts, and attends theatrical performances. Women have their own busyness: buying items and customizing new clothes.

How can the Tsar nuclear bomb compare with Hepburn's mood? Alan Wilson tried his best to prove that his love for Hepburn is the happiest, sweetest, noblest and most beautiful feeling in the world.

"That's why I'm so easily deceived by you." Hepburn looked as if she had been deceived by a man without experience.

"That can't be said. For you, I can be fearless. Even if the Soviet Union's Tsar nuclear bomb falls on my head, I can still keep my face." Alan Wilson swore, and then added, " I am not an American with a tough exterior but a cowardly heart, Audrey, you have to remember this."

The first thousand and 130 chapters Kennedy wants to talk

Kennedy to visit West Germany?After receiving this news, Alan Wilson couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Is this a response to the Soviet Union's test of the Tsar's nuclear bomb, and Kennedy wanted to reach the front line of the Cold War to show the fearlessness of the United States?

This is an inexpensive move that does not cost much and can establish the image of a cold warrior.

It looks dangerous, but it's actually not. .Surrounded by the Soviet garrison, West Berlin is safer than the United States in a sense. At least if Alan Wilson said it, he would dare to laugh in a convertible.

However, unlike in history, West Berlin is not to say that it is empty, but it is almost like a large barracks.

The Berlin Wall has been built for some years. Compared with the area of ​​West Berlin, the existing population naturally cannot afford the daily maintenance of half an international metropolis.

Weeds are overgrown, and the whole of West Berlin is in a state of depression, just like a resource-based city after it has dried up.With such a city appearance, can Kennedy call me a Berliner?Is it difficult to find a crowd of viewers?

In fact, many people in the Federal Republic of Germany no longer regard West Berlin as part of their own country.

Historically, after the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Federal Republic of Germany could no longer absorb the labor force of the GDR from Berlin, so the Federal German government had the idea of ​​exchanging West Berlin for some border territories of the GDR.

It's just that this move is not in the interests of the United Kingdom, the United States and France. The operation of West Berlin is borne by the Federal Republic of Germany, but this stronghold deep into the territory of the Democratic Republic of Germany has great strategic significance for the free world.

The Federal Republic of Germany's move to give up West Berlin in exchange for some land on the border of the Democratic Republic of Germany will naturally not be approved.

Now, the Federal Republic of Germany has this idea again. Facing the increasingly dilapidated West Berlin with less than [-] citizens, the Federal Republic of Germany does not want to continue blood transfusions.

Rabe Butler asked the Prime Minister what he thought of Kennedy's trip to Europe, and Eden was noncommittal, "Is there any difficulty in the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently?"

"There is no difficulty, everything is in order." Rabo Butler replied simply.

"Those Whitehall officials didn't express any opinions?" Aiden asked with a smile, seeming to be quite satisfied with the answer.

"Alan, I've been very busy recently, exchanging information with the Five Eyes Alliance, checking the progress of ship support, and evaluating overseas assets." Rabo Butler shrugged and sighed, "Very busy."

Isn't it very busy? Alan Wilson, who is here in Glasgow, expressed his enthusiasm for the British shipbuilding industry. Thanks to Hepburn's support for his work, he drove him here in a newly bought Bentley.

"This is a contract sent by the officials of the Administrative Bureau over the Xiangjiang River." Arriving at the shipbuilding center in Scotland, Allen Wilson took out a stack of documents and handed them to Hepburn.

"What is this?" Hepburn was puzzled and asked a man of the same status as her husband.

"A piece of land and a factory built to produce medicines from East Asia. The one you wiped there last time is one of them." Alan Wilson pushed Hepburn's hand, "All the procedures are completed."

"It's too expensive, I can't take it." Hepburn blushed and shook her head, she knew the weight of this document very well.

"Take it, the value of the colonial industry is basically a matter of our words. We say that Xiangjiang land is worth every penny, and it is worth every penny. If it is not worth a penny, it is not worth a penny."

Alan Wilson replied blankly, "The specific value is just a word from us."

Just like the area of ​​the Xiangjiang River, it can completely accommodate the existing population, but in order to maximize the benefits and generate more income, the British Hong Kong authorities will not promote low-cost housing to cover the entire population.

This is a question of choice, not a question with only one correct answer.

Only reform measures that do not involve the basic structure of the British political system in Hong Kong can be implemented to a certain extent; any reform measures that touch the basic structure of the British political system in Hong Kong, no matter how much controversy it had at the time and how much impact it caused, the results will be judged. The British government denied it.

Taking a piece of land from Xiangjiang and manufacturing some proven medicines is completely within Alan Wilson's ability to show his face. If he only considers the Chinese market, he will give this document to Xia Meng.

However, considering that the mainstream group of British citizens has the common rough skin problem of white people, he feels that these ointment products should be able to enter the British market, so it is more appropriate to hand them over to Hepburn. As for the benefits of Xia Meng, he will If you think about anything else, he won't treat the other party badly anyway.

"It's actually pretty good here!" Alan Wilson pointed to Glasgow outside the car window. The sea breeze hurts the skin. There are thousands of interns working right now. It is very normal for the Emperor of the Earth to come and take care of him.

It is even more normal to bring some ointments suitable for the Chinese, and you can gain favor without paying anything.

"These interns are very hardworking, and their seriousness is impressive." A shipyard owner was full of praise for the interns assigned to him, and even wanted to ask if there was any intention for the next batch .

"We have to consider the issue of impacting local employment. Although I am not the executive secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, I cannot ignore this issue." Alan Wilson directly interrupted the shipyard's assumptions, "The internship period is two years , which is equivalent to a migrant worker. They will leave after two years."

"These skilled workers who have been trained will not find suitable jobs when they go back. I think it can be postponed."

"At that time, the Ministry of the Interior will have a view that takes into account the interests of all parties." Alan Wilson said to himself, you think beautifully, do you really think you can use a labor force that is only one-third of the wages in the UK for a long time?

The economy is going well, hello, hello, hello everyone, once the economic development is in trouble, these people are often the scapegoats.There are too many precedents to prove this.

Even Britain's shipbuilding industry depends on whether it can compete with Japan at home before considering whether it is necessary to retain it.

"How is the completion of the yacht orders in the Middle East?" Alan Wilson asked about the completion of some orders, which were all orders in exchange for his wife's distribution of oil to those chiefs.

From this point of view, these shipyard owners should thank his wife and himself. Pamela Mountbatten returned the oil share and established a strong relationship with the local upper class. Based on this, he himself won a lot of money. Yacht order.

"The British shipbuilding industry must win with high-quality products, taking into account luxury and seaworthiness. I believe there is no problem. Our ships can adapt to the North Atlantic Ocean and any sea surface."

The North Atlantic is nicknamed the Ocean of Storms. Facing this environment, Britain has always prioritized shipbuilding seaworthiness.As for the Pacific Ocean, just by looking at the name, you can tell what European sailors know about the Pacific Ocean.

"What is this?" When they saw a large box of unknown ointment, these shipyard owners had no choice but to ask.

"The ointment used by the Chinese is very effective on the skin of the body. Especially hemorrhoids!" Alan Wilson said nonsense, "Jack Ma hemorrhoid ointment, help me distribute it to the interns."

The Scottish region is of great significance to Hepburn and Alan Wilson, and it is the beginning of their relationship.

The weather was warm, and the peculiar pale blue of the cloudless sky gave the Scottish sea and sky a brilliance never seen in more favorable latitudes.The air was clean and pleasant, and the sun shone with extraordinary brilliance, illuminating the changing forest, as if richly and beautifully painted with a thousand bright, living paints.

Driven by the strong breeze, the huge river glistens and gallops forward, and when the rushing waves surge, there are snow-white waves shining on the top.

If there were no more fascinating sight than this majestic river, its breadth, depth, and clarity of water, and its significance to Scotland, would be enough to attract attention and deserve every thinking person. praise.

Alan Wilson directed at Hepburn, and sent out a heartfelt admiration for nature or the ball flower, "After all these years have passed, recalling every past event that once aroused surprise in my chest, every bend and bend It is beautiful, so heart-wrenching, one cannot help but be grateful and adore, the omnipotent Creator."

"What are you talking about?" Hepburn, who was enveloped by such eyes, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but still asked pretending not to know, "Praise the scenery of Scotland, or?"

"All! We have many good memories here." Alan Wilson grabbed Hepburn's hand and put it on his chest, whispering affectionately, "Everything in front of me is like a noble goddess full of vitality, accepting the worship of all pilgrims "

The sorrows and joys in the world are not the same. Kennedy still arrived in West Berlin and delivered a speech that I am a Berliner. Although there were not many audiences, it was not difficult for Kennedy, the leader of the free world, to attribute the ruin of West Berlin to , the Soviet bloc dared not face up to competing with the free world.

This is only part of the truth. Anyway, Alan Wilson is not prepared to compete with Eastern Europeans. The construction of the Soviet Union for so many years is not ineffective. The quality of population in Eastern Europe is not the same as before World War II.

If competition is really let go, Eastern Europe is under the control of the Soviet Union, and Britain does not need to consider competition from Japan. Eastern European countries will quickly replace Japan and form competition with Western European countries.

After delivering impassioned speeches, Kennedy embarked on a tour of Europe to unite the free world against the Soviet threat, and this unity meant the free world united around the United States.London was the last stop of Kennedy's European tour.

Alan Wilson had to be offended by the itinerary specified by the U.S. president to return to London to see what the hell was going on.Hepburn didn't want to either, she hadn't spent enough time in Scotland.

The first thousand and 130 chapters of Kennedy's visit to the UK

The US president's upcoming visit to the UK is a grand event in the free world, and this is the evaluation of ordinary Britons.

The UK's itinerary for Kennedy is also very grand. In addition to meeting Prime Minister Eden, he will also meet the current Queen Elizabeth. .

Most of the major newspapers are looking forward to Kennedy's arrival, of course, Alan Wilson is an exception.He always felt that the purpose of this American president who didn't know what fear was must be innocent.

Although he is separated by two places, he often keeps in touch with his wife. Faced with the rising US silver price, Pamela Mountbatten obviously wants to take advantage of the rising trend to sell it.

Alan Wilson said that he can wait. The Cuban Missile Crisis has become an impression of a time unit for him to serve as a reference for a time scale. At least before this crisis, silver is still very stable. There is no possibility of a crash.
