British civil servant

The disintegration of the Soviet Union has brought about a serious consequence, that is, Europe and the United States feel that they can force a country to submit without restriction through economic and political strangulation without paying any price.

This can be regarded as a kind of warning from history, because it has been successful in the past, so it will be successful again.

In a sense, this kind of blind thinking also brings dangerous prospects.

After the new Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet stopped talking, Norman Brook also began to ease the dignified atmosphere just now, "We still believe in the decision of the United States under our noses. In this forecast, we believe that the United States will rely on the most powerful navy in the world. , A complete blockade was imposed on Cuba, the Soviet Red Navy was not strong, and even the Royal Navy’s blockade could not break through, and there was no way to face this blockade.”

"That is to say, the risk naturally exists, but it can still be ended." Aiden nodded in relief.

"Maybe the United States will take the opportunity to let the United Kingdom get involved, but we are in Europe, drawing the attention of the Caribbean Sea to ourselves?" Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "I really hope that a war will break out somewhere, Can keep the UK busy and dodge this potentially violent vortex."

"Hehe! That's really a good idea." Aiden couldn't help laughing out loud, "In this way we can help justice and avoid being involved in such a big vortex."

A group of cabinet ministers laughed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated. They have to go to work tomorrow. Aiden finished the cabinet meeting, and Alan Wilson went home.

If anything, his face was more serious than before he came to Whitehall.

After going back and forth, Pamela Mountbatten was still waiting in the living room, waiting for her husband to return. She didn't smile until a familiar figure appeared, "What's the matter, and you are asked to go there on the weekend?"

Reaching out and grabbing his shoulders, Alan Wilson looked straight at his wife and said, "Pamela, take the child back to Perth tomorrow."

"Ah? It's not too cold." Pamela Mountbatten was surprised, not understanding what was wrong with her husband, "Didn't I already plan to go back in half a month?"

"Immediately, immediately, only Australia in the southern hemisphere is the safest." Alan Wilson interrupted with a serious face, "The Soviet Union has deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba. If there is no agreement, there will be a danger of world war. Within the range of Soviet land-based missiles, it would also become very dangerous."

Alan Wilson explained the ins and outs of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and said in an orderly tone with easy arrangement.

"In this case, the mainland is not very dangerous, why do you still want to stay in the mainland. Come with me." Pamela Mountbatten was frightened by her husband's tone, persuading her in a panic.

"Are you kidding? I'm a high-ranking official in Whitehall. How can I run away at this time." Alan Wilson flatly refused, and said in a tone that he wanted to live and die with the United Kingdom. My wife has three children, both male and female, and I am not interested in money, and now I am very content, even if the worst result really happens, I can face it calmly."

"You are crazy, you are a person who is equipped with bulletproof vests when you go to the colony, and you will go with me tomorrow." Pamela Mountbatten teared up and grabbed her husband's clothes, "You are only in your 30s, and you are living well. Say something like that."

"Honey, there is still such a thing as patriotism in this world." Alan Wilson told his wife to calm down, "Take the children and mother-in-law and leave, and take good care of them."

No matter what Pamela Mountbatten said, Alan Wilson had made up his mind and turned a deaf ear to his wife's words.In the end, the richest woman in the world threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, "You are amazing, you are not afraid of death..."

Ellen Wilson, who hugged his wife, patted her on the back as if coaxing a child, and said deeply, "Now that I think about it, I still feel a little sorry for you. I should have stayed with you more before."

The cries of the mother, causing the children to come out of the room to look around and whisper, "Doesn't that sound like an argument?"

"Of course not. I haven't seen my parents quarreling." Pamela angrily scolded her younger brother's guess, "Maybe they hugged each other because of something happened. You don't see my father looking angry."

angry?It doesn't exist at all, Alan Wilson's face is indeed quite strange, full of plans.

"If you cry like that, the child will wake up." Alan Wilson's performance was almost the same, and he began to comfort the person next to the pillow. "Actually, I have a solution, which may prevent Britain from falling into a vortex and being kidnapped by the United States. Dear , In terms of public opinion orientation, you have arranged for so many years, this time you should take action."

"I'll listen to you." Pamela Mountbatten agreed with pear blossoms and red eyes.

The construction of an information cocoon is necessary. Due to the real problems of the Chinese in Malaya, the local public opinion mainly emphasizes that Britain should stop the war, and any other voices must be suppressed. Alan Wilson will also let the local colonial government officially help.

At the same time, it also draws attention away from the Cuban missile crisis, and the same purpose is used in the mainland and other colonies.But there are no Chinese in other colonies, so there is no need to pretend to be a peaceful face.

That is naturally my Great Britain's sublimation to live the second life, and rescue India with unprecedented actions. As for the method, it is the same as the United States, using the slow-moving navy to delay time. The police will only appear after the underworld is over, which is very reasonable.

"Remember, don't believe any other news unless it is official news from the British government." Alan Wilson touched Pamela Mountbatten's hair, "Don't let the noise of fake news disturb your mood at critical moments. "

The first thousand and 170 chapters of India's determination

Again and again, when the party and the country were in crisis, Alan Wilson still did not forget to shamelessly deceive his wife who shared the same bed, and set up a loyal dog of the empire. No one is better than the executive deputy secretary Know how to be patriotic.

But Alan Wilson doesn't feel guilty. These are all white lies, which help the husband and wife to move forward hand in hand and make progress together in this turbulent and dangerous world.

So what is there to feel guilty about, didn't you just start to appease him?After talking about love for a long time, Pamela Mountbatten smiled through her tears, and snuggled into her husband's arms with a cute face.

Some outside minors who peeped through the door also returned to their rooms.After a while, Alan Wilson went upstairs with his wife in his arms, and the two looked at each other, almost causing Pamela Mountbatten to bump into the corner.

Maybe the parting was a little sudden, Pamela Mountbatten was not sleepy, and hoped that her husband would take a bath with her.

This is no problem. Alan Wilson is contrary to the general British habits. He is used to taking a bath at night. Over the years, his wife has become more and more similar to his habits.

After a while, Alan Wilson, who had exhausted a lot of energy, returned with his wife whose red tide had not subsided.

The moonlight came in through the curtains, making the room hazy. Pamela Mountbatten seemed to be holding on to an octopus, apparently still unable to sleep. "Actually, the executive deputy is a high-ranking official, but I don't care. You won't come with me?"

"Stop making trouble, a man should have a man's responsibility." Alan Wilson kissed his wife's forehead, he is not willing to do PUA now, anything goes too far, it will have counterproductive effects if it goes deep, and changed the subject, "Actually The threat of a nuclear war in the Caribbean Sea is not entirely without benefits. From the perspective of financial hedging, don’t you want to do something? The North American continent is no longer safe.”

"You have another idea, you have always been so optimistic." Pamela Mountbatten pinched her husband's arm, but the movement was very gentle, "Tell me, when did I become disobedient, I have always been good."

"Look, the atmosphere is much more relaxed, isn't it?" Alan Wilson smiled happily, "In terms of the overwhelming military strength of the United States in the Americas, the possibility of a nuclear war is actually very small. If the result is optimistic Yes, then this is an opportunity to buy bottoms, but it is the opposite in terms of gold, some of the previous funds should be withdrawn from the United States and exchanged for gold to get them back, in fact, I think France may do the same after this time.”

In fact, it was the Cuban Missile Crisis this time. The United States showed no compromise and would not hesitate to have a nuclear war, which made the French realize that no one has as much as they have.The pace of independence has accelerated again, and it has also strengthened the idea of ​​transporting the gold reserves in the United States back to China.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, the U.S. stock market has been in decline, which is different from the stability of the previous year.However, once the Cuban missile crisis passes, there will definitely be a retaliatory rise. The United States wins, and market confidence will naturally increase.

During the crisis, as Soviet ships drew closer to Cuba, many feared that the end of the world was imminent.

President Kennedy's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, said it was the worst crisis since World War II.The tensions have cast a cloud over the stock market, spooking investors already spooked by the year's poor performance.

Even without the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. stock market has performed poorly this year. This is due to the sharp conflict between Kennedy and the U.S. steel industry. For most of [-], Kennedy was fighting against the steel giants. It has been going on for half a year.

Kennedy's quarrel with the steel industry.Concerned about the domestic inflation situation, through the intervention of the White House, the American steel industry union agreed to reduce the wage increase of workers, and the steel mills agreed not to raise the price of steel products.

However, the steel giant subsequently violated the agreement and raised the price without authorization.Enraged, Kennedy publicly criticized that a small group of steel company executives' desire for power and money had swallowed up their sense of social responsibility.

The White House immediately launched an offensive.The U.S. Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the above-mentioned price hikes and sent FBI agents to the residences of the executives of the steel mills that raised the prices for interviews.The U.S. Department of Defense transferred some submarine contracts to steel mills that refused to raise prices.

During the Cuban missile crisis, it only aggravated the shock caused by the contradiction between Kennedy and the steel industry.

If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, there is Wall Street behind the U.S. steel industry, and to be precise, Morgan has huge influence, and Kennedy gave Aramco to Saudi Arabia before, offending the Rockefeller family.

The sensitive moment of the Cuban Missile Crisis is perfect for fishing in troubled waters, and cashing in on gold will go unnoticed amidst the chaos because everyone else does it.

The coexistence of risks and opportunities is not just talking. In fact, those who dare to buy the bottom win.Wealth has risen by 30.00% after one year. Five, Alan Wilson does not expect his wife to be a genius, and it is qualified to have an average income.

"Public opinion will naturally say that the problems in the United States are very serious, which may lead to a certain amount of foreign capital fleeing." Alan Wilson followed the temptation, "Even if we flee to the various offshore financial centers established in the United Kingdom for a while, we will still make money. gone."

"What are the chances of a good result?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband eagerly. Often at this time, she would forget about her huge wealth, and her husband was her backbone.

"Seventy percent is the same as the free world's strength comparison to the Soviet bloc." Alan Wilson's answer was very firm.

This is also the strength comparison between the two sides, whether it is the current time or the time in his memory.

The free world has a [-]% winning rate. In other words, as long as there is no war, NATO will surely win through continuous harassment, economic blockade and political oppression.

The Soviet Union is at most [-]% of the strength of the United States. Of course, because of its vast territory and strong radiation, [-]% of its strength is enough to fight against the United States in Eurasia.The Soviet bloc also has only [-]% of the power of the free world.

I believe that no one will think that Britain, France, Germany and Italy and Bulgaria and Romania on the Soviet side are countries of the same level.

This is all the result of counting a certain big country. Otherwise, the small partners of the Warsaw Pact and NATO countries will be completely crushed. The Soviet Union still has the hope of victory against the United States alone. That was hopeless.

Don't mention it in a few decades, the Warsaw Pact no longer exists, and the European side is purely crushing.

Once Russia accepts its fate, Nato will take a magnificent turn. The environment of a country is similar to the Soviet Union after comrades and brothers were beaten. The noose has been put on and will only become tighter and tighter.

The premise of success is that there cannot be a direct conflict with the Soviet Union. Once the war starts, all seven achievements will be fart.Everyone dies in a nuclear war, NATO cannot defeat the Warsaw Pact in a ground war, the sea and air are powerful, but people don't live in water.

If Alan Wilson was an American, he wouldn't even have to think about the outcome of the Cold War, the only thing he wanted was not to leave the fish that slipped through the net.

How to treat the losers is in his mind. Unfortunately, from the perspective of the UK, the memory of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the first year and the shorting of the pound in the second year made him have to maintain the balance of the world.

After the victory of the Cold War, the United States immediately shorted the British pound and listed France as the number one imaginary enemy, which made him have to be vigilant against this close ally.

Relaxed Pamela Mountbatten fell asleep, leaving only the hot breath on Alan Wilson's chest, glanced at the haze by the window, the executive deputy closed her eyes, tomorrow will be another beautiful day.

Because of the time zone, it was still daytime in New Delhi, and there were discussions among the Indian Ministry of Defense about moving forward.Not everyone thinks that victory is within easy reach if India shows courage.

In the Operations Hall of the Ministry of National Defense, an operational meeting that will determine the fate of India is going on, and the meeting is presided over by Menon, the Minister of Defense of India.The meeting was attended by General Thapar, Chief of Staff of the Attacking Army, General Timaya, former Army Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant General Kaur, Chief of Staff.

In addition, there are three civilian officials, Cabinet Secretary Keira, Defense Secretary Kesarin, and Intelligence Director Malik.

As a civilian official, although Menon is responsible for the important task of the Minister of Defense, when he faces the generals with golden flowers on their shoulders and ribbons hanging diagonally, he always has an uncontrollable sense of oppression.In order to maintain his dignity, his magic weapon is to reprimand and laugh at them.

Therefore, the generals under him were dissatisfied with him, but they had to be grateful to him, because he used frequent transfers to continuously promote their ranks, and at the same time greatly increased the salaries of officers, especially generals.

During his tenure, the army's weapons and equipment have also been improved very well, especially the extremely close personal relationship between him and Nehru, and no officer is not afraid of it.

At this time, Menon had just finished speaking, and India wanted to expel the enemy from the disputed area.

As soon as the voice fell, Admiral Timaiah shouted loudly: "Impossible, this is simply a fantasy, what do you use to attack? How to complete the preparations for the attack? Do you know the terrain there? It's all fourteen thousand The continuous mountain above [-] feet, measured on the map as a three-hour marching distance, actually takes three days. All logistical support depends on airdrops, but there is not even a piece of flat land for airdrops to be found there. This kind of plan is either a lunatic or a fool."

Lieutenant General Kaur, who was promoted by Menon, had a cold face, "General Timaya, you can criticize and correct as much as you want, but you must never allow slander, let alone deny it completely. You know, everyone in India is impatient. Many The newspapers scolded us as cowards, unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the motherland, as a soldier, can you bear it? If you don’t act, the government will collapse and we will all be hanged, do you understand?”

The first thousand and 170 second chapters of the calm before the storm

Timaya sneered and said, "If this plan came from someone else, maybe there is still a possibility to discuss it, but once you participate, the situation will be completely different. In just ten years, you have been promoted from a major to a lieutenant general. Sitting on the throne of the chief of staff, what are you? Have you ever commanded a battle with live ammunition? Isn’t it because of your pretty face and glib mouth. For your promotion, I once resigned Once, it's a pity that it didn't stop your official career from being prosperous."

General Timaya was the former Chief of Staff of the Indian Army and has always had objections to India's military adventures.Until he was replaced last year, the current Timaya is actually no longer a powerful general.

Unlike Lieutenant General Kaur, an upstart, Timaya spoke fiercely at this time, but there was not much approval.

This angered Kaur, who had low qualifications, thinking that he was relying on the old to sell the old, "You better understand, this is a combat meeting, not a parliament that can conduct personal attacks at will. My letter of appointment was signed by Prime Minister Nehru himself. For this reason, you resign as much as you can, but this time, no one will persuade you to take it back."

When Kaul was promoted from major general of the Fourth Division to chief of staff, Timaya strongly opposed him, thinking that he was exaggerated, full of fantasy, and had no actual combat experience. He was really incompetent for a position second only to chief of staff.

But Nehru categorically vetoed his opinion and directly signed the letter of appointment. For this reason, Timaya was annoyed and asked to resign.

Nehru retained Timaya at the time, but in the end he did not change his appointment, and last year, Timaya was dismissed from the post of Chief of Staff of the Army.

Timaya is not opposed to the offensive, but this plan full of loopholes and whimsical plans made the chief of the army's general staff feel the fear of the doomsday, showing a courageous forward policy?In his eyes, it's just a pile of shit.

Even if Mountbatten returned to India to formulate a combat plan, he would not be so wishful thinking.

This is a moment in which the fate of the country will be decided, and he cannot be silent any longer.He volunteered to participate in this battle meeting, and he came forward to state a lot of reasons. However, except for some comfort from Lieutenant General Singer's sympathetic eyes, the rest were indifferent cold eyes and contempt at the corners of his mouth. laugh.

"Admiral, you are no longer the chief of staff." Lieutenant General Kaur said with a sneer, "I asked you to come to the meeting just to be polite, not to criticize India's brave actions. You are so cowardly , don't you feel ashamed?"

Timaya didn't seem to hear it, and said to the Minister of Defense Menon: "Mr. Minister, wake up from your dream! The enemy is not vulnerable, and he will never fight back. Thinking about the Korean War, I don't want to say , but I have to say that they are more powerful than the Indian army.”

This last sentence angered all the senior generals present.Immediately, scolding sounded from the oval conference table: "You are not worthy of being a soldier!"

Menon just blinked his thick eyelids, without even raising his head, he waved and said, "Go, you are really old."

The last effort of the former chief of staff was ignored, and all the Indian generals who participated in the meeting were full of disgust in their eyes, which made Timaya exhausted all his strength. Defense Minister Menon let him leave, which was the last thing that crushed him a straw.

Timaya stood up tremblingly, and left the meeting room of the Ministry of National Defense that did not welcome him, where he had served for more than ten years, no one cared, let alone persuaded him to stay, and faced the old general who had been kicked out indifferently.

When approaching the door, he suddenly turned around and shouted majestically: "You sons of bitches, you will be shot one by one."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Alan Wilson, who had gone to Whitehall to ask for leave, returned home and sent his family members and mother-in-law Edwina to the airport. Pamela's sister, Patricia and his wife also came out to see him off.

In his hand, Wick handed it to him, the telegram sent by the ambassador to India, the content of which was in the hands of Alan Wilson in one night of India's national defense meeting. Before leaving British India, he had consciously To lay mines.

Of course, it has been cleared up by Nehru a lot, and as time goes by, its role will become smaller and smaller in the future, but this high-level meeting record of the Indian Ministry of Defense still appears in his hands.

On the way to the airport, Alan Wilson kept watching the content of the meeting. In the waiting hall, he disclosed the situation to Marshal Mountbatten and the Patricia couple.

"War seems inevitable?" Mountbatten is very interested in India. He said that he is the last governor of British India, although this is not a very memorable journey. "When will it start?"

"Maybe right away, maybe a few days later. I don't know!" Alan Wilson forgot when the war and the Cuban Missile Crisis officially broke out, but it was either two days earlier or two days later. The difference is not big.

"If a war is really going to break out, what is our position in the UK?" Patricia's husband, John, also attracted attention, and asked, "The world is so dangerous, I want to leave."

"Dear Senator, I just pretend I didn't hear it. You'd better not do something that would shame the House of Lords." Alan Wilson said with a cold face, "In terms of this matter, if it weren't for this Time, we can offer all support but help. But not now!"

The mascot of the House of Lords did not know the inside story of the government, but Mountbatten already knew about Cuba, otherwise he would not agree to his daughter taking Edwina away in the name of his mother's recuperation.

"Marshal, maybe we should formulate a rescue plan for India. Let's talk about it later." Alan Wilson raised his wrist, revealing an unpretentious Patek Philippe, and he was about to board the plane. Not a single person in the waiting hall talked about it. great place to do things.

Pamela Mountbatten took care of the children and looked relaxed, but in her eyes she was just a husband pretending to be relaxed. His eyes were full of reluctance. When the time came, Pamela Mountbatten called to her husband and wanted a parting hug.

This scene made Edwina and Patricia couldn't help laughing. Even so, Pamela Mountbatten still ignored her and waited in place with her arms until Alan Wilson came over and she hugged her man He whispered in his ear, "Why don't you come with me?"

"What de Gaulle act?" Alan Wilson moved his hand down his wife's back and lightly patted Pamela Mountbatten's buttocks and replied in a low voice, "Do as I told you, this is a good opportunity. "

Pamela Mountbatten smiled. She is not an unforgettable beauty, but she smiled brightly at this time, and nodded vigorously, "I will start when I get there."

After hugging for a while, there were not a few onlookers. Alan Wilson let go of his wife's body, and the two waved at each other like a lucky cat. Pamela Mountbatten took the child into the passage.

Alan Wilson watched his wife disappear without moving, which was both superficial engineering and instinct.If you can't even do this, how can you make a living in front of so many movie queens?

At this time, Alan Wilson released the state of looking at his wife, and went directly to Mountbatten's house by car.It was Patricia who was driving, and she joked about the scene just now, "You two have such a good relationship."

Alan Wilson didn't feel embarrassed at the ridicule of the serious sister-in-law, "Marriage requires the hard work of both husband and wife."

Pedestrians in London still have to do what to do. They don’t know the truth of the world at all. This kind of ignorance may also be a kind of happiness. Alan Wilson took half a day off to send his family members to the plane. He didn’t forget to take the opportunity to discuss with Mountbatten , How to take advantage of the heat this time.

Most people in this world don't even know that there are two conflicts brewing, but as an insider, Alan Wilson must clarify his father-in-law's attitude, "How ignorant people are, they don't know anything."

"Alan, what do you think India's forward policy will lead to." Mountbatten asked, "Since you have learned the inside story, you must have a way to deal with it."

as a result of?Allen Wilson said in his heart, of course he was beaten to the ground, and the prestige accumulated since independence melted like ice and snow. All the leaders of the third world and the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement are all goodbye.

"This matter must be involved. It is not for India, but an opportunity to demonstrate British influence." When Alan Wilson was speaking, he really wanted to ask how much rags left over from World War II in Britain. The Lee-Enfield rifle, which is older than his father, can make up for it. Anyway, India doesn't choose it, and it is still in service in the 21st century.
