British civil servant

"But she is indeed the wife and sister of the President of the United States now. I mean that Her Majesty the Queen doesn't like her. But I can't say anything." Princess Margaret's growth period seems to have come later, a few years ago She would never say these words, and she didn't even want to think about them.

Alan Wilson stretched out his thumb and index finger, twirled his sister-in-law's earlobe lightly, and sighed, "It's really surprising, I thought your mind was empty except for love?"

"But this is also true. In today's world, no matter now or in the next few decades, there is no country that can shake the confidence of Americans in their own country. The Soviet Union can't do it, China can't do it. But Britain can... But this premise, The UK cannot be left far behind by the US."

The Soviet Union once made American citizens doubt their own country before and after the Vietnam War. As for China, it has just begun. At best, it can be regarded as the Soviet Union during the Khrushchev period.

This level of competition is far from enough to shake the Americans, the deep-rooted understanding of the American exception, the city on a hill.

In fact, both Britain and France have cultural advantages that make Americans suspicious of their country. What is lacking is that the hard power of Britain and France is incomparable with China and the Soviet Union, let alone compared with the United States.

France is the beginning of the modern republic, and the United States has no institutional confidence in front of France.What's more, the French army was the main contributor to the American War of Independence. As for the United Kingdom, the United States used to be a British colony.

It is precisely because of this that the United States does not forget to lay mines for Britain and France when dealing with opponents with stronger national strength in the hostile camp.

Now there is no need to worry about France. After the establishment of the Fifth Republic, de Gaulle will not take advantage of the United States.Absorbing Algeria, France has the potential to change the balance of Europe.

The pressure is all on the UK side now, if the UK can still retain a certain amount of strength.Balancing America's influence in the free world is not impossible.

At present, Alan Wilson still wants to protect himself. If Britain has the military power of the Soviet Union, even if it is only half.The third-party forces tried by Britain after the war can be said to have taken shape.Britain no longer has to worry about being stuck in the neck by the United States.

"Don't worry!" seeing her brother-in-law remained silent, Princess Margaret shook her brother-in-law's neck softly to comfort her, "Actually, you don't have to worry about these things. With your wealth, you can live a good life without busying yourself with the affairs of the country. .”

"Your understanding is really naive, my princess, there is no such doctrine or doctrine, it is nothing more than a question of who comes first with power and wealth. But both are indispensable. Once the UK does not have the national power to cover the current interests, it is mainly based on Military strength is shown. Do you think British citizens will not get into trouble? The Americans must keep the easiest and most profitable industries for themselves."

"Otherwise, the comet airliner appeared so many years earlier than Boeing, so why can't it enter the US market? Isn't the US government setting up obstacles? The pound is still in circulation so widely, and the industry is declining. Will the pound not depreciate? Fortune won't Diluted? It's a big deal involving 5000 million citizens of the UK."

Alan Wilson, who was unconsciously kneading his sister-in-law's buttocks with the other hand, didn't think that being a rich man would be all right.Capital has no borders, which means that it generally flows to the strongest country.

The strongest point refers to capitalist countries. The hostile camp does not have this ability. The wages of the hostile camp are settled on time and they can brag about it. Only a fool would think that a country that often suppresses wages will have a better business environment than the free world. .

After some in-depth communication with his sister-in-law, Alan Wilson dragged his tired body and settled the meeting with the first lady of the United States. He has paid too much for the United Kingdom.

The state banquet at Buckingham Palace had nothing to do with Alan Wilson. He went to the office of Norman Brooke, NO.70 in Whitehall.

The cabinet secretary informed the promising younger generation that he had passed on the almost alarmist report to the prime minister, "But there are some reasons. It is not a secret that the United States wants to use a platform to uniformly command the use of nuclear weapons."

"I just didn't expect that the Americans have always insisted on such a shameless proposition." Alan Wilson said very displeased, "Sir Norman, maybe the military is not as indispensable as the Soviet Union thought, but military power is indeed It determines many things, and I cannot imagine without military factors, how to protect the industrial base of Malaya, the energy security of the Middle East, and the origin of raw materials in Africa.”

"If you can't keep it, an important wing of the pound zone will be abandoned. Then the pound zone will naturally exist in name only, and the value of the pound will continue to depreciate. The UK will also become a second-rate country. I think at that time, we can do it wholeheartedly. America's little follower."

"Perhaps in the European Community, we have to express a gesture of keeping pace with France. Otherwise, in the European Community, the UK may not have the right to speak."

"This prospect is indeed very scary." Norman Brook also nodded solemnly, "So the Prime Minister also avoided the discussion on the command of nuclear weapons, but it can be seen that Kennedy has not given up."

"It's still the old way. Let's delay. At least one thing is certain, the United States will not use force with us. Except for this point, there seems to be nothing to worry about."

Soon, around this point, Alan Wilson had reached a consensus with the cabinet secretary, the core of British civil servants, and the supreme authority, Sir Norman Brooke.

Of course, on the surface, Britain still supports the United States as the talker of the free world, because the United States has brains, temperament and is ruthless, and the most important thing is money.

"I don't know what our joint communiqué will say." Alan Wilson said to himself with relief.

"What the French say, the British say." Norman Brook said with a smile on his face. "Alan, we are all people who firmly implement the idea of ​​a great Europe."

"Of course, my lord." Allen Wilson understood, "I think that de Gaulle is actually watching the reaction of the United Kingdom. Every time I think about it, I sigh. Some things have not changed in 800 years."

The Anglo-American joint communique is almost another version of the US-French joint communiqué. If France does not agree, Britain will not agree, and Eden will not allow a weak president to take away Britain's nuclear weapons command with a single mouth.

Of course, this is not a bad breakup, after all, France came first.When the Anglo-American joint communiqué was issued, Paris praised the unity of the free world and the general recognition of British leadership by European countries.

After the Kennedys left the UK, the popularity of Marilyn Monroe in the UK increased rapidly. Regarding the rumors, the fact that Jacqueline imitated Marilyn Monroe's dress was talked about by British readers.

It's not scary whoever is ugly is embarrassed, what kind of temperament is a trick to fool people, it's just an excuse for your ugly appearance.

If you look at another field, Valieva was definitely planted by the United States. There is no reason. She is beautiful and strong, and Maomei is beyond doubt. If you are a black figure skater, you must take medicine without doubt.

The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains as usual, and the bi-annual European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting is coming at a vigorous pace.

As the end of the year approaches, the united European Community member states will continue to practice the concept of a greater Europe. For Alan Wilson, the joint fighter jet project is what he cares most about.

The first thousand and 130 chapters of five reliable defense ministers

The tsr.2 attack aircraft jointly developed with Sweden, the Belfast strategic transport aircraft jointly promoted with France, and the joint fighter unit uniting Europe.

In his view, now is the right time to make use of the advantages of the aviation industry accumulated by the UK during World War II. As for why the gap between Germany and Italy in the aviation industry and the UK is not 01:30, proactively showing favor can get the biggest benefit. The right to speak. . .

It will be financially difficult for the UK to advance so many projects alone, even if the current UK economy is fine.

Weapons are becoming more and more refined. For a country of the size of the United Kingdom, it is unrealistic to follow up all of them.What's more, the UK now has more projects to promote than the UK in Alan Wilson's memory.

Isn't an aircraft carrier a big project?Nuclear submarines are also a big project. This is not a technological imitation obtained from the United States for sale of benefits. It is all researched by itself, and these costs are borne by the United Kingdom itself.

Marshal Mountbatten and his son-in-law came out together. Looking at the last few sealed Giants unsealed, they will undergo necessary maintenance and improvement, and then they will become big toys for the royal family of Middle Eastern chiefs. The Royal Navy, the last vestige of it is gone."

"The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come, my marshal." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and comforted him without squinting. It’s good to disassemble. In fact, I believe that the Navy is very clear that from any aspect, the Giant class is really useless, and the Centaur class can be used for low-intensity tasks.”

"I even sold several islands in Malacca to them. Only in this way can these small countries with rich resources but unable to survive alone in the world be tied down."

He is more than just being good to these small countries. Over the years, he has tried his best to convince the British government that the Kingdom of Egypt cannot become a real power. Even if the Aswan Dam is completed and Egypt completes the initial electrification, it will be the end of the pattern.

"Your diplomacy is constantly looking for a community of interests to bind in a monarchy." Marshal Mountbatten paused when he said this, and had to admit, "But it seems to be very useful."

"Thank you, Pamela also helped a lot." Alan Wilson said modestly, "I am lucky to have such a partner. Every time I think of it, I feel grateful that God has treated me well. Supreme authority, for the sake of the British Empire."

Mountbatten was noncommittal, and the submarine-launched version of the evil missile was being assembled. Once the reliability was proved, the UK would speed up the construction of nuclear submarines. The hull had never been a problem for a shipbuilding powerhouse like the UK. The problems were all new weapons.

"There is another question, what is the document you asked me to hand over to the Secretary of Defense." Mountbatten has not yet learned the reason for John Provomo's change of attitude. Rationally told him that it is best not to be curious, but Mountbatten has a good wind Shun Shui's Marshal really couldn't bear it.

"Some investigation reports on private life, some clarifications of rumors. Of course, as a defense minister, this matter is still quite important. I will solve this matter immediately." Alan Wilson did not want to betray the rising star of the Conservative Party.

It is right to describe John Provermore as a rising star. The Secretary of Defense was born in [-]. Look at the ages of other giants of the Conservative Party. Eden in [-], [-] Macmillan in four years, Homer in [-], Rabo Butler in [-].

You will know the position of John Provomo, one of the four major ministers of state in [-], in the Conservative Party.

In contrast, Harold Wilson of the Labor Party, the long-term Labor Prime Minister he remembered in the 70s and [-]s, was born in [-].

From the perspective of normal correspondence, the current Minister of Defense should be the leader of the party with Harold Wilson in the future. Even if he does not become the prime minister, he will still be a stable leader of the Conservative Party and will shine in the British political arena in the next ten years.

It's a pity that such a person was involved in the Soviet spy case. He should play a bigger role.

So when John Profumo is open to increasing military investment and is willing to reach an understanding with the military, then he should not continue to treat this gentleman harshly.Of course, the Soviet espionage case will continue to be investigated, but the results will not be announced after full weighing.

Alan Wilson is also planning to use the captured Soviet spies to exchange the British diplomats who were arrested because of the Pinkowski case, but he will cut off the contact with John Provomo to protect the Rising star.

Even at present, there are many advantages to having such a minister who is concerned about the safety and security of British national defense in office.Doesn't the number of new aircraft carriers increase by one?

Aircraft carriers have been added, nuclear submarines and a series of military projects can be carried out step by step.

In other words, isn’t Alan Wilson trying his best to win over European countries to save costs? If the UK pushes forward by itself, it may cost a hundred pounds. If Germany and Italy are involved, the total cost of wrangling for half a day may soar to two hundred pounds, but it belongs to the United Kingdom. The burden of funds is still less.

In the current period of time, the UK has plenty of time to wait for the European Joint Fighter to enter service.

The Iranian oil crisis has come to an end, and the Federal Republic of Germany has obtained the benefits it wants. At this time, the German government urgently needs to repair relations with the United Kingdom. The cold relationship between the two countries is not conducive to the unity of Europe.

As for Italy, the last time Alan Wilson went to North Africa, he talked quite well. He was happy to see Italy help Britain and maintain its influence in Libya, an important oil-producing country in Africa.

With a world war, Italy will not change the plight of pauper imperialism.The situation in Italy is somewhat similar to that in Japan, where there is almost nothing in the mainland.

Back then, it claimed to be one of the six great powers in Europe, and even my Qing Dynasty couldn't fool it, which shows its own embarrassment.

Britain is willing to balance France's influence with Italy on the interests of North Africa, which Italy is also happy to see.

At the year-end European Community Foreign Ministers Meeting, the foreign ministers of various countries gathered together in Brussels. According to the usual practice, the meeting was divided into two parts, the overseas part and the European part. The former paid more attention to the legitimate interests of countries overseas, mainly for countries with colonies. The latter is a matter for Europe itself.

Feeling that it was not easy for Hepburn to grow up in the Netherlands, Alan Wilson had a good impression of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so he took the opportunity to communicate with the Dutch side, and the gang of Dutch Guiana might not think about the possibility of independence.

And handed over the local polls before and after the independence of British Guiana to the Dutch side, "that is, London can see the opportunity quickly, otherwise those people will almost rely on the UK."

"France also has this problem. If you don't believe me, your French intelligence agency will check it out, isn't it?"

"For this kind of worthless colony, even if Venezuela is annexed, it is better than lying on us and sucking blood."

While Alan Wilson and diplomats from various countries are privately giving and receiving ... an enlightened attitude towards the colonies, Rabe Butler is delivering an impassioned speech at the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting, calling for European unity.

Once common goals are identified, European countries will cooperate in the most efficient way.The leaders of Britain and France will jointly respond to the crisis through communication and cooperation.The goals of Britain and France are the same, the unity and development of Europe, and the restoration of the vitality and economic status of European countries before the war.

Europe will be strong only if it is united. This is not just a matter of Britain and France, but also involves the vital interests of Germany and Italy, as well as European countries.

When Rabo Butler spoke, the foreign ministers of various countries nodded to show that you are right.There is no problem with the big framework, but the overlapping of industries and the specific steps to cooperate with each other will certainly not be as smooth as the big framework.

However, cooperation in the military field is often easier than in other fields.Alan Wilson's promotion of European defense autonomy is actually paying for the development of the British aviation industry with the economies of other European countries. It is not a day or two.

He has been preparing for this matter for the past two years. Finally, at this European Community meeting, the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy jointly announced that they will adopt a united attitude and cooperate to develop a replacement, f-4, f- 104, "Canberra", "Predator" and other new types of fighters.

The United Kingdom and Sweden have also signed an agreement to support Sweden in the development of attack aircraft in the face of large-scale armored clusters from outside, and to jointly develop and deal with threats in this area. The United Kingdom will use the prototype of the tsr.2 attack aircraft as technical support and jointly develop it with Sweden. .

As for France, Britain and France also agreed to continue to implement the Belfast strategic transport aircraft project with a more united attitude. Dassault and French Aerospace Corporation represented France and the United Kingdom. At the same time, France also won over Germany's mbb company and United Aviation Technology - Fokker, joined the development together.

Britain is naturally responsible for the most critical part of the engine. As for the requirements of France, it is roughly the same as that of the United Kingdom. It has a large-capacity cargo hold, the rear passage slope is at the tail of the rise, and it uses straight wings and turboprop engines.Perform cargo and troop transport missions, operate directly from forward positions, and evacuate casualties.

In flight, the cargo area is pressurized and kept at a constant temperature by the integrated air conditioning system.

Britain, the United States and France have finalized their requirements, and have clarified their intention to order a total of 270 aircraft. Britain and Germany each have [-] aircraft, and France has ordered [-] aircraft. Although France has a common demand with the UK on the issue of strategic transport aircraft.

However, Germany, which also takes into account the supply of West Berlin, obviously needs a larger quantity.

There are voices in the Federal Republic of Germany that want to give up West Berlin and exchange some land with the GDR, but there are only such voices, and such voices will never be taken seriously.

This move by the Federal Republic of Germany also hopes to cooperate in the air force field, and to make up for the differences caused by the Iranian oil crisis with the United Kingdom.

The first thousand and 130 six chapters of European defense milestones

"Are you happy? That strategic transport plane is your wife's property. With the current strength of the aviation group, many interests are related to her company." Anna, who came to Brussels and had a private meeting with Alan Wilson, held the man's hand in both hands. He whispered, "But I don't know what Washington thinks."

"I can't take care of so much now." Alan Wilson, who was honestly rubbed in the face, replied with a strange face, "A person has two legs, and one leg cannot be too strong. Balance is required. In order to protect ourselves, we only Can stand with France."

If the British are willing, they are definitely unwilling, but there is no other way.

Since the completion of the agricultural revolution in England in the fifteenth century, the level has surpassed that of any country in the world. .

After the Industrial Revolution, although there were many European powers, the standard of living of the British far exceeded that of Germany and France, not to mention countries like Imperial Russia. If you compare the world in the 21st century, Britain is undoubtedly in decline, and it is on par with Germany and France. At one level, isn't it fading?

In the past 300 years, when did Britain fall into comparison with Germany and France?Even France, which is half of its agricultural empire, lags far behind Britain in per capita nutrition.

"You hide it very deeply. It is estimated that your colleagues have not seen your true thoughts. Many people think that you are a hard-core pro-American representative." Anna gestured exaggeratedly, "Now you choose to unite Europe .”

"That's the asking price of the United States, and I will never be satisfied. I don't want the United Kingdom to be at the mercy of other countries, but do you?" Alan Wilson stared at the eyes of the little dragoons and said sincerely, "On the issue of the Soviet Union, I and the United States People's consensus is far greater than differences, but the reality makes me have to try my best to prevent Britain from being deceived by the United States."

"It's really nerve-wracking, Bismarck is not as tired as you." Anna lay in Alan Wilson's arms in a circle, her big eyes blinking, "Are you dissatisfied with the asking price of the United States? same strategy.”

"I don't know, but I can guess it." Alan Wilson lowered his head and touched Anna's red lips, "However, since you betrayed me back then, I definitely can't tell you."

Judging from Alan Wilson's evolution of the next few decades, the United States may not have a grand strategy for planning the global order during the Cold War, and everything is based on defeating the Soviet Union.

But after the victory of the Cold War, the greed of the United States could not be controlled, and it seemed to want to turn the whole world into a large India.

This may be a strategy summed up based on the British Empire’s experience in building a global empire based on British India.However, it is clear that the United States' intentions are much greater.

Take the United States as a Brahmin and take care of some Kshatriya duties, Britain, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Western Europe as Kshatriya.

If Russia is possible, it is best to be a Sudra, but if it is not possible, Vaishya can also accept it.As for the vast third world countries including China, India, and Arab countries, it is of course the lowest first-class sudra.

This plan is good. If Alan Wilson is an American, he also hopes to see such a world.It's just that there are two difficulties in this world, and a few countries that think they have the ability to resist will definitely not accept it.

The first to bear the brunt is the Soviet Union and later Russia. Although Russia cannot be compared with the Soviet Union, after more than ten years of strict and comprehensive sanctions, the economic aggregate of the hometown of Cantonese cuisine is almost the same.

Switched to an ordinary country, it can be said that the dead can no longer die, but Russia can still make trouble from time to time.The all-round blockade of sanctions is slightly loosened, and Russia can revive at any time.

Sanctions against this cold war enemy are not insignificant. The Russian stock market is a well-known depression in the world. No foreign capital can bypass the monitoring of the United States. This has led to strange imaginations in the Russian stock market. Many companies with high price-earnings ratios and stock values Almost lower than its price-to-earnings ratio.

Russia's situation is equivalent to a certain big country in a period of self-sufficiency.However, Russia can really be self-sufficient, and the remaining country that thinks it can resist is a certain big country.

However, Alan Wilson does not think that the threat posed by a certain big country is greater than that of the Soviet Union, and the resource shortage is extremely serious. Once the input of raw materials is cut off, it is still a question of how much strong industrial production capacity can be left.

The Soviet Union's industrial tea can be supported by its own resources. It is obvious that the two opponents in different periods are more threatening than the Soviet Union.

Normally speaking, if the United States of later generations has succeeded, Alan Wilson will naturally hand in his guns honestly and concentrate on being the follower of the United States. After all, he has never had any ideals, no pursuits, and insists on overthrowing such a beautiful world.

The problem is that the United States in his memory did not succeed. If he did not succeed, he regarded the United Kingdom as a balance base. The United Kingdom has been balancing offshore for hundreds of years, and there will be a day when it will be used by others for offshore balancing.

It's not a feeling at all when you use other countries as victims and when you become a victim yourself.

Furthermore, offshore balancing is not a very clever move, and if it is used for a long time, there is no guarantee that it will not be guarded against.Isn't de Gaulle an obvious example.

If it weren't for Sir Wilson, Britain would not even be able to enter the door of the European Community, and would be humiliated by its defeated opponents for 300 years.

Within Europe, if it weren't for the United States to perform offshore balancing in the 21st century, the United Kingdom alone would have been overwhelmed by Germany and France.

The fact that Germany and France cannot confront the United States does not mean that they cannot do anything to Britain.In Europe, the United Kingdom has been unable to deal with Germany and France after decades, and needs the help of the United States.

But in the world, the United States also has countries that cannot be dealt with. If it does not act on its own, it forces the United Kingdom to sacrifice its own interests to take the lead. Doesn’t this matter exist?Will the United States compensate Britain for its losses in Xiangjiang?

The national power of the United States is stronger than that of the United Kingdom, and the problems of the old empire are more serious than that of the United Kingdom. He has no interest in serving the rebellious son.
