British civil servant

By now, he is ready to take advantage of the Cuban Missile Crisis to come to the aid of India...

If Nehru didn't mind that Britain, the suzerain country's army that had colonized India, set foot on Indian soil again and refused to leave, he would have bitten his teeth and refused to let go of asking Britain for help.

This is just right, and Alan Wilson is not prepared to really save India. It is a big country with great reputation, and it does not need Little Britain to rescue it. It can solve all problems by itself.

At the same time, there should be a result in the Lubumbashi area, and Grace was eager to try and almost couldn't hold back.There is also the case of Sukarno in Indonesia. In short, before and after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Alan Wilson still planned quite a lot.

When he returned to London, Kennedy hadn't finished his visit to Paris. Kennedy also attached great importance to de Gaulle, a leader who had not been in harmony with the United States in the past two years.

Alan Wilson, who had nothing to do, naturally had a chat with his father-in-law, and also talked about the purpose of the US president who was about to arrive in London this time.

"What's your impression of Kennedy?" Mountbatten was curious about what his son-in-law thought.

"The family background is superior, and his career is smooth sailing. According to the evaluation in the United States so far, he is a weak president. But I don't think so. Kennedy's weakness is just a superficial phenomenon." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "I don't have anything special about him. If you want to ask the Chinese in Malaya what they think, it’s really not that good.”

"Why?" Marshal Mountbatten didn't understand. So, can an American president have anything to do with Malaya?

"He is of Irish descent. The main ethnic group that excludes Chinese in the United States is the Irish." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "There is a saying in the East that takes history as a mirror. As a selfless British High Commissioner, I naturally There is no concealment, and the behavior of the Irish has been written into the history textbooks."

Who made the status of the Irish low before the First World War? They were also at the bottom of the class, and the Irish were still facing job competition from the Chinese, so forget about the job competition.Chinese laborers are mainly men, and the place where the Irish feel the most pressure is the marriage between Chinese and Irish women.

At that time, most Chinese Americans could not find wives. If they could find wives other than Chinese women, 90.00% of them would be Irish women, not to mention [-]%.

Although the Irish are the main force to exclude Chinese, there are one or another reason, but Alan Wilson thinks that is not the main reason, the only reason that can make Irish men feel the pain is this one.

Marshal Mountbatten stepped back tactically, and said in a tone worthy of you, "I really doubt that you use the Chinese to deal with the Irish. I hope I am wrong."

"I've had this kind of idea." Alan Wilson admitted bluntly, telling his father-in-law that he guessed right, "But the current political status of Malaya is still a little bit worse. It is just an idea at present, and there is no possibility of practice."

Hopefully it doesn't get to that point, the IRA was at a low ebb in the 60s and has little influence now.

But Alan Wilson will not let down his vigilance. If he remembers correctly, Mountbatten was killed by the IRA.

At present, there is no need for the father-in-law to know about this matter. He even thought that Mountbatten had retired and found a way to let his wife take Mountbatten to live in Perth directly.

Mountbatten still doesn't know at this moment that even his life after retirement has been clearly arranged.

When the Kennedys were in Paris, the British side was also paying attention to the movements of the United States and France.One is a suspicious ally who supports the independence of the colonies. He is already a rebellious son who has gradually surpassed the United Kingdom from the colonies. Of course, he should receive enough attention.

Jacqueline Kennedy, Mrs. Jacqueline, had studied in France and spoke fluent French, which made all walks of life in France feel good.To a certain extent, it concealed the disadvantage of Kennedy's Irish origin.

The French people and President de Gaulle liked her very much.On his last day in Paris, Kennedy told reporters at a press conference at the Chaillot Palace: "I don't think it would be inappropriate to introduce myself to everyone here. I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline to Paris." , and I am honored for that.”

Although France has a lot of praise for the Kennedys, this proves nothing.It's not that the politics are cold and the economy is hot, and they can't hinder the judgment of the British Foreign Office, especially when Alan Wilson is still there.

"Let the Paris embassy pay attention. The communiqués of the two countries, such as the warm welcome and the lady's line, are all fart." Alan Wilson was unmoved by the so-called propaganda.

"Executive Undersecretary, the U.S.-French joint communiqué has come out." Chief Private Secretary Wick took the contents of the freshly released joint communique and handed it to his immediate superior.

Alan Wilson immediately read ten lines at a glance to see what Kennedy's visit to France has achieved this time.

What is in it, the main issues related to the relationship between the United States and France in the current international situation and the policies of the two countries around the world, and the positions of the two countries on the Soviet camp and the two countries in Africa and Asia and Latin America, including assistance to underdeveloped countries and ways to strengthen the Atlantic Alliance.

"It's nothing worth mentioning!" Alan Wilson took the telegram and commented, "It means that they confirm that the two sides have the same views on the obligations and responsibilities undertaken by Berlin, and there are almost no substantive problems."

"De Gaulle wanted the United States to share the leadership of NATO, no."

"France asked the United States to provide information on atomic technology, Southeast Asia, Africa, and especially Algeria. The United States has not responded to these questions."

"It is certain. The communiqués of Kennedy's visit to France and his talks with Charles de Gaulle show that the profound contradiction between the United States and France has not been resolved, and it is by no means that the French public opinion's pursuit of Jacqueline can be covered up. Inform the foreign minister and the prime minister of the conclusion, This fruitless American president is about to arrive in London."

He picked up the phone and informed Whitehall No. 70. Allen Wilson called the Minister's Chief Private Secretary Dixon to let Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler know the latest situation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately held a meeting, and finally came up with the entire process of responding to the visit of the Kennedys.

The next day, the US Air Force One Boeing VC-137 landed at London International Airport.On the plane's livery, the words "United States of America" ​​are written in the same font as the American Declaration of Independence.At the same time, the US Presidential emblem is painted on both sides near the nose, and a large-scale American flag is sprayed on the tail.

Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline, stepped off Air Force One and started an official visit to the UK.

Kennedy held hands with Aiden full of respect, and said, "Dear Prime Minister, your persistence and courage in World War II are known all over the world. Today, under your leadership, Britain still plays an important role in the world. effect."

"Mr. President, you deserve the award." Aiden politely responded to the American president, who was much younger than himself, "The leading role of the United States in the world can be seen by all countries. Welcome, Mr. President, to London .”

"The hypocrisy of both sides is simply unimaginable." Alan Wilson came with Rabo Butler. Among the people present, he was naturally the inconspicuous one who was not noticed.

But in the free world, he still can't comment on the old and the young and two hypocritical people?

In any case, the visit of the Kennedys to the UK has begun. The two countries will discuss a series of issues around the core of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. On the surface, it is still very enjoyable.

Kennedy, who had made no progress in France, seemed unlikely to repeat the same mistakes in the UK, but he didn't know that the UK had already analyzed the results of its diplomacy clearly before coming here, and was waiting for the weak president in his eyes to come to his door.

The top priority is naturally the Tsar nuclear bomb that has just been tested before. The Soviet Union's most powerful nuclear bomb in history is indeed a very threatening weapon, especially for Europe.

Alan Wilson disagreed with this assertion, "The Tsar nuclear bomb is not just a threat to Europe. The advent of such a powerful nuclear bomb makes the whole world feel the same, including the United States."

"Alan? I heard Joseph and Robert mentioned you." Kennedy was not annoyed by the interruption, and asked gently, "The powerful US air force will not let this kind of nuclear bomb get close to the United States."

"If your Excellency thinks that Yellowstone Park does not exist, yes." Alan Wilson said blankly, "Yellowstone Park is the weak point of the United States. What if it is attacked by a nuclear bomb and causes an earthquake? Of course, this is only a possibility. Maybe nothing will happen, we don't want something to happen, it's just a chance."

The first thousand and 130 chapters three The queen and the first lady

"Of course I'm just saying that it's possible. The UK naturally doesn't have this idea, and the Soviet Union doesn't necessarily think so. The UK still believes that it should be careful of misunderstandings in this regard. The Soviet Union's nuclear weapons are not just a threat to Europe. This idea is very wishful thinking. .”

Whether there is such a chance or not is actually not important at all. Who would have the guts to test a nuclear bomb?

Theoretically, Alan Wilson also knows that there is probably nothing wrong today, but this thing is as powerful as a torpedo, and no one knows what the result will be until the moment it hits.

The result of trying it out is likely to lead to the appearance of the passing away result, and no one is sure whether something is wrong or nothing is wrong.

The explosion of a nuclear bomb explodes in a place where the earth's crust is stable, and the explosion at a weak point is not a consequence at all.The latter is very likely to cause earthquakes, which has also been proved.

Alan Wilson believes that the continent with the most stable crust in the world is undoubtedly Australia. .

Looking at the earth from outer space, even the color on it is completely different from other continents, as if a continent from an alien galaxy was pasted on the earth.

In fact, as a continent that has never sunk for billions of years, Australia is indeed like a dead land.

If it weren't for the fact that Australia is a Commonwealth country and wants to break through the limits and create nuclear weapons that are more powerful than the Tsar's nuclear bomb, Australia is indeed the best testing ground.

Alan Wilson also explained that he is a kind reminder to the United States, and he will never mix personal prejudice.If he hadn't faced Kennedy, he wouldn't have made such an assumption.

Who in London didn't know how close he and McCarthy were?Totally a walking Anglo-American special relationship.

"Mrs. Jacqueline is still so charming. It perfectly embodies the demeanor of the first lady. The lady has already caused a trend when she was still in Paris. It is not easy for the French to admire her."

Alan Wilson changed the subject and began to praise Mrs. Jacqueline's charm again. In a trance, he seemed to see Jacqueline wearing a black veil, looking charming and charming as a widow.

"Robert and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Thinking about it carefully, although the working experience in the United States was short, it also left good memories, and now I look back on it with nostalgia."

Alan Wilson's tone of social bullshit, with a few words, has already taken care of several people he knew in the Kennedy family. The compliment to Jacqueline is the most sincere, and there is absolutely no falsehood.

"Alan is such a person. Having such an energetic executive undersecretary for foreign affairs has also added a touch of color to our work." Rabo Butler said, "The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is actually like Allen has the same relationship as his American friends."

"Of course, Anglo-American cooperation is the foundation of the free world." Kennedy immediately replied with a smile.

Alan Wilson had finished the warm-up activities, so he stopped talking and just secretly looked at the First Lady of the United States.

To be honest, compared to Marilyn Monroe, although in terms of attire, it doesn't look much different, he is Kennedy, and he can't control himself from making mistakes.

He had already given his assessment of Kennedy, which was also the general understanding of people from all countries before the Cuban Missile Crisis, that Kennedy was a weak president to the cabinet.

Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that this was not true, and even complained to Mountbatten, he still provided a wrong assessment against his conscience.

This is also for Aiden to be more confident. Kennedy didn't get anything in France, but he wants this or that in the UK?Isn't this too contrastive?

Britain must not make more concessions than France, even now, especially now...

Is there anything Britain can turn to the United States for now?After getting rid of the situation of economic hostage, other aspects should not exist. The Anglo-American summit meeting started with France's maverick and not very obedient status quo.

Then Alan Wilson took a backseat to arranging First Lady Jacqueline's itinerary.The cabinet ministers have all gone to receive the President of the United States. He didn't need to come forward for this matter at all, but in some respects, Jacqueline is not very popular with Her Majesty the Queen.

The two parties confirmed the list of guests for the dinner in advance. Unexpectedly, after seeing the list of guests, Her Majesty the Queen made a major deletion of personnel without saying a word.why?It turned out that Jacqueline's sister and brother-in-law were among the list of personnel.

The queen investigated the two and found that Jacqueline's sister had not only been divorced, but had been divorced twice.

This was a big event in the British royal family. According to the royal family's regulations at the time: divorced people were not allowed to participate in foreign banquets at the national level. There are British traditions and royal family members' conservatism.

The royal family was unwilling to come forward directly, and suddenly remembered that it was very shameless for Ms. Pamela's husband to come to communicate with Jacqueline, who claimed to have a special relationship with Britain and the United States.

"I want to see Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret." Just after seeing Jacqueline, Ellen heard such a sentence on the hotline. The first lady asked mysteriously, "I heard that Her Royal Highness wants to Want to leave the royal family?"

"The first lady still cares about this kind of thing?" Alan Wilson looked tired. "The government has no right to intervene in the affairs of the royal family. Of course, I am too. I am looking for the itinerary of the wife, sister, and husband."

"What?" Jacqueline asked in dissatisfaction.

"Royal family tradition, people who are divorced cannot attend the state banquet, let alone divorced twice." Alan Wilson talked eloquently, "I hope the United States can also face up to the British tradition instead of making unreasonable demands."

Jacqueline suddenly became angry, "Why are you British so rigid? The era of the royal family has long passed."

"I will convey your words to the King of Egypt, the King of Libya, the Kingdom of Iraq, even the King of Iran, and the King of Thailand. Let alone Japan, the Emperor of Japan has long been a puppet."

In front of Jacqueline, Alan Wilson took it out and carried it with him. Only he himself could understand the garbled characters, and solemnly wrote it down. He gestured and said, "On this important visit of unity, the First Lady It's a little bit disappointing to always get caught up in the minutiae."

On the issue of right and wrong, he is naturally on the side of Her Majesty the Queen. In the future visible to the naked eye, the Queen will still be the Queen, and in the future he can see, Jacqueline, the first lady, may not be able to stay for a long time.

Jacqueline was at a loss for words for a while, which was very different from the popularity in France, at least when she was in France, she was always praised no matter where she went.

"Does the First Lady have any other requests?" Alan Wilson put his notebook in his pocket and asked in a business-like tone, "I am willing to provide all support within my ability and within the scope of not asking too much, except to help .”

Alan Wilson has been thinking that when Kennedy met Charles de Gaulle, he could be regarded as a complement to the cheerful president and offended France. Now it seems that the role of Britain is not over yet.

Reached out from Wick's hand, took it out just a few days ago, the assessment of the diplomatic outcomes of Kennedy's visit to France, Alan Wilson handed it to Jacqueline to watch, "First lady, you should hope that Mr. President has some diplomatic outcomes Bar?"

He himself was a little tired of saying this sentence, why did it sound like he was threatening his wife in some Japanese movies?

Sometimes it is necessary to avoid telling the truth in diplomatic work, but to be blunt, Jacqueline really thinks that the popularity of public opinion is all the harvest of an important visit?

"Of course, I still hope that these innocuous questions will not cause any hindrance to this visit. First lady, now let's talk about Princess Margaret. I am willing to communicate with Her Royal Highness on this issue. , have an informal meeting, and you can also bring your sister and brother-in-law, so it seems reasonable."

Alan Wilson's voice reached Jacqueline's ears, "I think? The first lady should not refuse!"

"I heard that you have a very good relationship with Senator McCarthy. You are the same kind of people." Jacqueline sighed and sneered secretly, "The same stubbornness, if you are in the Republican Party, maybe you can shine .”

"Forever and ever is power..." Allen Wilson raised his eyebrows, and he told Jacqueline why he firmly supported Her Majesty the Queen and did not compromise on this matter.

The result of the communication was still good. Alan Wilson went to Buckingham Palace to inform the court minister of the result of the negotiation, and at the same time agreed to Jacqueline's request to see Princess Margaret.

Of course, after he left, Jacqueline also whispered in secret, saying that the queen is a mediocre, boring middle-aged woman with old-fashioned hairstyle and clothes, and the palace she lives in is like a dilapidated country hotel. Naturally, the deputy chief couldn't hear it.

After Kennedy completed today's schedule, Jacqueline did not forget to complain about her husband's neglect of Britain.

"He is a conservative in the field of British diplomacy." Kennedy said with a sassy smile.

"How is your relationship with him?" Jacqueline asked. "It seems he knows your brother."

"Well, the relationship is not bad. At that time, Robert was working for McCarthy." Kennedy nodded. "The British Prime Minister and I have decided to find a time to start the UK-US summit in a third party."

MI[-] received a new instruction from the Secretary-General to pick out the shirts of Jacqueline and Marilyn Monroe from the past news reports to determine whether the first lady of the United States is suspected of following suit.

"Secretary-General, if someone else finds out, he may still think that Britain is still in a period of monarchy." Richard White was a little dumbfounded.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Alan Wilson was full of surprise. Isn't Britain a kingdom? "You just have to do it. The intelligence agencies have to clean up the source and let the people see the facts, not to mention that this is a matter of right and wrong."

Let Richard White go, and he still has to write the report?Regarding the Anglo-American summit meeting, some requests that the United States may make.

The first thousand and 130 chapters have been discussed but not fully discussed

Kennedy's suggestion made it hard for him not to think of the Nassau Agreement in history.

Although rationally told Alan Wilson that the two are incomparable, compared with the United Kingdom that was deeply in debt in memory, looked forward and backward, and looked for the future direction, the current United Kingdom is more than one step stronger, and there is no embarrassment in memory.

But he is not sure whether Kennedy feels good about himself. If the second generation of power is as confident as the United States on domestic issues and treats international issues with the same attitude, he may still have the idea of ​​forcing Britain to submit.

And now the UK is still obediently submitting, how hard is that to think about?

From the perspective of the President of the United States, Alan Wilson expounded some opinions on that it is best for the United Kingdom to hand over its nuclear power to the command of the United States, give up all its colonies, and dismantle the pound zone at the same time.

The report was completed and sent directly to Norman Brooke, who asked the cabinet secretary to hand over to Prime Minister Eden for reference.

"It seems that next year's border war will have to be staged hard." Alan Wilson held his chin with his hands, and it was time to perform the most sublimated British emperor in front of Nehru. .

The benefit of doing so is that it can shape the image of the UK as an influential global player.

I can't make my best in Asia with my front foot, kneel down in front of the United States with a plop on my back foot, and obediently hand over my nuclear power, right?This contrast is unacceptable even to British citizens.

After submitting the report, Allen Wilson set off to find Princess Margaret to explain the itinerary, expressing how much the First Lady of the United States admires, the jewel of the royal family.

"Is the First Lady of the United States beautiful?" Princess Margaret asked, sitting on her brother-in-law's lap, like a koala, not wanting to leave Ellen Wilson's body.

"In all fairness, it's just an ordinary woman. The so-called self-cultivation and demeanor can be cultivated, far less natural than the queen and princess. She is nothing but the name of the president's wife. One day JFK is no longer president, and of course she is nothing. A woman who can be manipulated by men."

Alan Wilson twitched the corners of his mouth, never feeling cold about this so-called public opinion flattery.In the current public opinion, Kennedy is a weak president. How can it be like blowing up after the Cuban missile crisis?

Even the president can be shaped by the media, let alone a president's wife.Such a noble-looking man, why did he fall directly into the arms of Onassis?
