British civil servant

When Alan Wilson came to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this day, almost all the officials in the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs building had a newspaper, which may be from the Daily Times or the Times, but the content is similar, except for the headline on the front page. .

This is already the case in Whitehall, and the situation in the whole of the UK is similar. It is not surprising that Alan Wilson entered his office. How could this matter have anything to do with him?

The matter was brought to the media because Alan Wilson really forgot, which one was exposed to the world first, the Cuban Missile Crisis or this war.

This kind of exposure refers to being known by ordinary people in various countries, not limited to high-level officials. If it is the latter, in fact, whether it is the Cuban missile crisis or India's forward policy, the high-level officials of various countries already know about it.

To reveal the forward policy, we must first occupy a favorable position in public opinion and form a preconceived notion of British citizens.Once this concept is formed, it will help to control the rhythm later.

Even if the communication between the United States and the Soviet Union failed, the government would easily guide public opinion when they really went to war.

For example, connect two things and say that this is the general offensive of the Soviet bloc. When appropriate, you can also use marginal corners that no one cares about, such as the conflict in the Katanga region of Congo, as another piece of evidence.

In an electoral system, public opinion is very important and can even affect government decision-making.As for reflection, that is for the future. If you win the bet, you don’t need to reflect, but if you lose, you will reflect.

With the ringtone, Alan Wilson picked up the microphone, "This is Alan..."

"Permanent Undersecretary, the Minister wants you to come." The voice of Dixon, the Chief Private Secretary of the Foreign Secretary came.

"Understood!" Alan Wilson replied succinctly, "What do you want to discuss?"

"The prime minister asked the minister to go to the [-]th. It's about foreign policy." Dixon didn't dare to neglect the question from his immediate superior, and confessed everything in a clear manner.

"Thank you!" Alan Wilson hung up the phone, took out the forward policy assessment formulated by Li Jisheng, and walked out of the office with it. He felt that this assessment could be used today, "Wick, what do you remember? Want me to report."

The deputy secretary walked to the office of the foreign minister with a step that no relatives recognized. Soon, the two walked to No. [-] Downing Street in a very friendly way. They usually took the car.

Rabo Butler asked about the current public concern about the former colony. Alan Wilson said that he had just heard, "It is very normal to care about the former colony. After all, there is a layer of fetters."

Not only is this the case now, but it will also be the same in Britain decades later. The reaction of Indians hearing the BBC is the same as watching CNN, a purely physiological reaction.

It is undeniable that India does have a lot of black spots, but it is definitely a credit for being caught one by one. Without the British public opinion’s long-lasting concern for India, India’s strange things would not be so famous Far Yang.

The combat effectiveness of the top five permanent members of India’s YouTube channel was forged under the hegemony of British public opinion with the BBC at its core. Without decades of continuous concern, there would be no strong combat effectiveness of Indian netizens.

Urge each other and make progress together!As for the minister's inquiry, after hearing the public opinion in Australia, New Zealand, and even Canada, Alan Wilson of Canada couldn't explain it.

While walking and chatting, the two soon arrived at No. [-] Downing Street. Alan Wilson saw Norman Brooke and hurriedly greeted the supreme authority, "Sir Norman."

"It's just in time. The prime minister wants to discuss the situation in Asia with the minister." Norman Brooke nodded at the foreign minister Rabo Butler and said, "The minister of defense has arrived."

"It seems that the level of discussion is very high." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "It's really surprising that things in Asia are so hot."

In fact, it is not surprising at all. Alan Wilson just casually said that before India became independent, it could occupy half of the international affairs handled by the United Kingdom. Is it true that the empire on which the sun never sets is essentially an Asian country?

Now it's just a return to tradition, past, present and future.

Politicians follow the baton of public opinion, essentially for the approval rate. Since the forward policy is known first, it naturally becomes the subject of the cabinet.

As for the Caribbean Sea, the current atmosphere in Washington is estimated to be similar to that in London, or even more dignified.It is impossible to come up with a conclusion without a few days of discussion. It is easy to say that such a big matter can be made decisively.

But Alan Wilson still asked his wife to recharge and pay attention to India when a nuclear war was coming at any time.The fundamental reason is that he does not think there will be a war, and he does not even think that the Cuban missile crisis is more dangerous than Ukraine.

The international environment of the two events is completely different. In the era of the Cuban Missile Crisis, all countries actually developed well.Citizens of all countries feel that the future will be better and better with the advancement of science and technology.

Whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, they are still very confident in their own country. The whole society is going upwards.

As for the era of the Ukrainian crisis, the whole world has already become a red sea where the bayonets are red. Technology has stagnated, and there has been no major progress for a long time.Anyone with a brain knows that it is a stock world. If you want to develop, you must become the least bad one. You can only eat when your competitors die.

The tens of trillions of national debt in the United States, don't they kill others and eat meat waiting to explode?For Europe, the Ukrainian war is actually more dangerous. Internationally, the United States is sharpening its sword, and Russia has been forced to the point where it cannot retreat.

The so-called European sanctions are just a random look. It is impossible for the United States to be overwhelmed by refugees, but Europe will.The so-called sanctions on Russia and the option of the EU's eastward expansion do not exist. Under the blessing of sanctions, Russia's development may not improve for a long time.

But Russia is fully capable of bringing Europe to the same level as itself. As long as the euro collapses, the living standards of the core EU countries in Western Europe may also drop, and the marginal EU countries in Eastern Europe may not necessarily have a better life than Russia.

The United States fought the Vietnam War across the Pacific Ocean, and almost seriously injured itself, not to mention the EU, which is adjacent to Ukraine, sanctioning the Russian economy, so that Eastern Europe will have a centripetal force towards the EU?Russia can also turn the EU to the same level as itself, and the forces are mutual...

Alan Wilson judged that the degree of danger of the Cuban Missile Crisis would not necessarily exceed that of the Ukraine War.

Naturally, it will spare no effort to guide and focus on India. Today's cabinet discussion proves that this guidance is close to success.

The assessment report of the forward policy was made by Li Jisheng, and the conclusion was made by him, the deputy secretary-general of the cabinet.The prime minister, the foreign ministers, and the defense ministers read the reports respectively, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

The folks only know about things in India, but they know about what's going on in Cuba, and they don't know how to make decisions for a while.

On the one hand, what should Britain do, and on the other hand, the shock is the shock of the forward policy. India's plan to puff out its chest and light up its bayonet, and build its victory on the basis of the opponent's non-resistance, really opened their eyes.

"What good is it for Britain to pay attention to India?" Rabo Butler asked under Aiden's eyes.

"The biggest benefit of this war is that Britain is finally not the country India hates the most." Alan Wilson said with a face of relief, "For a long time, India's defenses after independence have not been superficial, but they are real. And After the war broke out, Britain finally retreated to second place. This is the biggest gain for Britain."

Before the war broke out, India's first priority was to make a comeback for Britain. After the war, it turned its eyes on the north and its neighbor who knocked off the crown of its own leader of the Non-Aligned Movement and leader of the third world country.

Of course, India is still wary of Britain when it does not involve its northern neighbors.There is no way around this. It is a fact that Britain colonized India. With this fact, Britain has always been the object of defense against India, and it is impossible to remove it from this defense list.

Alan Wilson draws a rather optimistic conclusion, but it is definitely not true.

There is a high probability that India will fall into the arms of the Soviet Union sooner or later. The Soviet Union will subsidize tens of billions, and the United Kingdom cannot afford to keep up.

In essence, he is still working as a paper maker, carrying out the original intention of slow decline, and if he can postpone it for a day, it is a day, and if he can delay it for a year, he must get enough benefits while he can still reap the benefits.

"If India suffers a crushing defeat, it is already ready. The major British banks are ready to receive the transfer of assets from rich Indians." Alan Wilson said compassionately, "After all, it is a former colony. If we don't protect it, who will we protect?"

"Wow!" Greed flashed across Rabo Butler's eyes, "Prime Minister, we can't watch India fall into the abyss, and we should support it in a certain sense."

Defense Minister Profumo also immediately said, "The United States and the Soviet Union are expected to talk. The two countries will not fight a nuclear war, but India is different. The most important thing is that there is no risk. We can get out at any time when we intervene."

Profumo had already become Marshal Mountbatten's man, and at this moment he immediately said that he would let the British army move to show the military might of the world's great powers.

"The minister grasped the core of the problem. The key is that there is no risk." Alan Wilson chimed in at the right time.

"Indeed!" Aiden saw that the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs thought so, and made a final decision. This statement marks that Britain has made a choice at a critical moment when it is facing a choice.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and six Indian offensives

It is very important that both sides of the war in the Himalayas will not threaten the British mainland.

The confrontation in the Caribbean is just the opposite. The risks of the two matters are very different. Naturally, it is impossible to make a decision based on the heat. Apparently, a prime minister and two cabinet ministers also agree with this point.

"Shouldn't you give the Chinese an attitude from the standpoint of the Commonwealth?" Aiden wondered whether to launch some kind of sanctions to show the strength of Britain.

"There is an option. If we are willing to let it go, we can close Xiangjiang. But the potential loss will be borne by the UK. I estimate that it will lead to a trade loss of about 6000 million pounds." Alan Wilson answered this question seriously, "And it doesn't work. We can't affect their prices. We can only cause book losses. It seems that the losses are huge."

What good are sanctions for a country that is in the self-sufficiency stage?I can't say it's not useful at all, and it can indeed be said that it's useless.Sanctions hurt the part that brings external dependence.

For example, sanctioning Russia's chip semiconductors will cause the prices of similar products to soar.

But it will not affect the prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Russia. The price of bread in Russia will be what it is, or what price it is. Meat and alcohol will not rise.The food and energy exported by Russia are just needed.The words of sanctions can only be fed back to oneself.

Therefore, the consequence of closing Xiangjiang is probably that if there is nothing wrong with a certain big country, Xiangjiang will fall into depression, the trade volume of the United Kingdom will be damaged, and the status of the only import and export port it holds may be affected.

"Actually, one-sided sanctions are useless." Rabo Butler immediately stood on the side of justice, "And this will make people think that Britain participated in the war in actual actions, so that the government will be passive. "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Profumo also considered the overall situation, "We don't take a stand, but at the critical moment, we are giving India some care, not joining the war."

"Ministers have a high opinion." Hearing that NATO would never send troops to help Ukraine, Alan Wilson flattered him without hesitation. All the ministers present are talents.

Although doing so will make the UK seem a little passive, it is also the most practical way to deal with it. In ancient and modern wars, people have repeatedly used pig tactics successfully. When there is an attack, they will lean their butt against the wall so that you can't catch the tail. I have no choice but to give you a bite with sharp teeth, and I will not let go.

Sanctions are not advisable, this is a lose-lose behavior, and once people start ignoring you, will the UK be embarrassed?If you want to avoid embarrassment, you have to overweight and ban football?Figure skating?Or sanction individuals?

What if sanctioning individuals doesn't help?Can't sanction go back to history?In fact, the fact that sanctions have been applied to individuals shows that sanctions at the national level can no longer be increased.

In a hurry, people want to liberate Xiangjiang?Will the UK follow?If you follow, you won't be able to fight the land battle. If you don't follow, the Xiangjiang River will be gone, and a certain big country will be able to go to sea without any problems.The navy is not working now, so will the navy not work in the future?

This is the same as when Ukraine is annexed, the European Union begins to feel uncomfortable. Ukraine geographically separates Russia from the traditionally influential southeast European region, and its existence makes Russia unable to reach southeast Europe.

You must know that in the era of Imperial Russia, the nations in the entire European territory of the Ottoman Empire were rescued by Imperial Russia.

Once Ukraine disappears, Russia will be able to open the way to the Balkans again, and the influence of Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Russia will increase rapidly.

After all, the really hardcore anti-Russian countries, Poland and the three Baltic countries, have Ukraine in front, and they can jump around. If Ukraine is gone, who can guarantee that they will not tell Russia in private, brother, the fact that there are so many people just now?

The discussion about taking some measures to support India has ended as soon as it started, as if it had never been mentioned.

The outcome of the discussion is about concrete support steps for India, currently limited to diplomatic solidarity, which not only shows the British position, but also does not cause losses.

Alan Wilson and Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler left No. [-] Downing Street together. At this stage, there is no doubt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible.

Rabo Butler asked, "So what's the matter, let India feel the goodwill of Britain?"

"Minister, there is no need. The Indians will naturally feel the outcome of the war." Alan Wilson said to Rabo Butler, don't forget that Britain colonized India.

Even in the 21st century, India has been chasing after Britain on the issue of having no northern neighbors.

In fact, it is very simple to communicate with Indians on the Internet, and Indians want to go crazy if they want to become permanent members.

As long as you mention it casually, and then quickly take it in a wrong direction, countless Indians will immediately express their approval for you.

It is true that India wants to join the permanent council. It doesn’t matter how you join. You can tell Indians that Britain has long since declined and is not worthy of a permanent seat. India should replace Britain, and you will be treated as an Internet celebrity immediately.

Indians look at a certain big country in the same way that a certain big country looks at the Soviet Union. You are strong but you cannot ignore my existence.Similarly, India's impression of a certain big country has also inherited a certain big country's impression of the Soviet Union.

There is enmity between the two countries, but the two countries also have the same attitude on many issues. For example, the British seat should be replaced by India.

On October [-], the White House was conducting final negotiations on whether to invade Cuba directly or conduct an air strike.

At the foot of the Himalayas, India deployed more than [-] troops in the eastern section; in the western section, the Indian army deployed a brigade with six infantry battalions, a machine gun battalion and several auxiliary units, totaling more than [-] troops.The Indian army heading north arrived at the designated location and began to attack.

After receiving a telegram from London, the ambassador to India, who was required to report every twelve hours, informed London of the news of India’s offensive. Early the next morning, the news of the war between China and India made headlines on the front pages of every newspaper. Like a hurricane, it spread all over the UK and across the world across borders.

"We call on both countries to take a pragmatic approach and negotiate a solution," Foreign Secretary Rabe Butler said.

"Minister, it is said that the Prime Ministers' Meeting of the Commonwealth will be held in December, will it be held as scheduled?" A reporter from the Daily Times stood up and asked his own question.

"I believe the problem is not big, and it should proceed as scheduled." Rabo Butler replied with a smile.

Almost at the same time, at the headquarters of the British Ministry of Defense, Marshal Mountbatten was explaining to the Minister of Defense the transfer plan of the Royal Navy. The two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier battle groups of the Mediterranean Fleet will go to East Africa for deployment.

In this situation, Alan Wilson wanted to recite a poem, and Meng Lianggu was overwhelmed, and rushed thousands of miles to help Li Tianxia.It's not for me to see death and not save each other, but the Communist Army has gundams, good poems, good poems...

The whole of Britain is now paying attention to the distant Asian battlefield, that war on the roof of the world.

In New Delhi, the capital of India, a huge crowd flooded every street. The last time it was so lively was when Nehru declared India's independence. People held up photos of Gandhi and Nehru to support the brave actions of the Indian army. Newspapers praised the brave actions of the Nehru government.

Numerous religious figures and ascetics sat down to pray for the front-line Indian army, wishing them victory.

This scene fell into the eyes of the British ambassador, and he was a little worried about it in the telegram to London, "Nationalism has flourished after India's independence and has become more radical."

"These ambassadors abroad, no matter which country they live in, will always be influenced by the local area." Alan Wilson reported with the telegram from the ambassador to India, "Let him wait, maybe we will see you in a month." The situation is totally different.”

How do you say something?Adults collapse in a flash.The same is true for a country.

"Also tell Ke Fulai, don't mix with the Americans. No matter what the Americans and Chang Gong talk about, it has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. An ambassador should not make mistakes in this matter. He wants to change places, such as An island in the South Pacific as a commissioner can take my words as fart."

Wick remained silent, not daring to say anything about Deception Island, "I'll tell him right away."

"What a beautiful world, living well is better than anything else." Alan Wilson sighed, opened Journey to the South, and read with relish.

Portsmouth, a British naval port, Marshal Mountbatten, wearing a marshal's uniform, watched the No. [-] and No. [-] ships of the Queen Victoria class leave the port. The two aircraft carriers with the largest tonnage and the shortest age in the United Kingdom will rush to the Mediterranean Sea to replace the two ships of the Mediterranean Fleet. The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier is responsible for the security of the Mediterranean Sea.

This time the Royal Navy's troop mobilization is huge, not to mention the only one after the war.

The departure of the [-]-ton giant ship not only attracted Mountbatten and a group of generals, but also attracted many nearby residents.

In fact, the Royal Navy didn't want to hide anything. On the contrary, it was a big fanfare, lest others would not know that the pride of the two Royal Navy ships would be mobilized.

Kennedy, who was soon troubled by various opinions about the changes in the British side, knew that he was very annoyed by the disagreement between directly attacking Cuba at this time and adopting surgical air strikes.

Kennedy was even a little envious of the British. At this time, he still had the leisure to pay attention to hot issues thousands of miles away.

"Mobile the Royal Navy, the navy?" Kennedy was stunned for a moment, using the navy to block it?Yes, the United States can do the same. The US Navy is stronger than the Royal Navy.

The first thousand and seventy-seven chapters of the sea blockade

Whether it is an air strike to solve the problem, or a further direct invasion, there is a danger of nuclear war breaking out.

Judging from the current situation, even if the United States can eliminate the Soviet Union, it will be beaten to vomit blood.

What kind of world hegemony must have nothing to do with the United States from now on, and the good days are still to come. Why do you have to think about it so hard?

However, the Pentagon obviously prefers to take military action to solve the problem, regardless of the harm to the United States itself. At this time, the actions of the Royal Navy pointed out a clear way for Kennedy.

Although the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated its position, it was not aimed at any party, but the British public opinion at this time, this unofficial statement, can clearly see the true attitude of the United Kingdom, but it has not been expressed through official channels.

Kennedy believed that he had predicted the predictions of the British, and that he was an elected politician.Don't you know that all statements that do not appear through official channels have nothing to do with official statements?

Now, Kennedy felt that he had found a solution to the problem. Like the British Royal Navy, he used the overwhelming force of the US Navy to block or isolate Cuba's external communication channels.

In London and the headquarters building of the British Foreign Office, Alan Wilson held newspapers reporting on the war as a kind of adjustment. He originally thought that Britain used the hegemony of public opinion to embolden India. Such a situation.

Facts have proved that that magical land where many religions have appeared, has thousands of years of experience in debates, and does not need any help in public opinion. The hegemony of public opinion was instantly digested by the powerful powers, and it was also exported in reverse.

Although the United Kingdom has launched many satellites at the Australian launch site, the satellites of this era have not yet reached the level of invisibility, otherwise there is no need for the existence of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
