British civil servant

And India really didn't mention it. India's national arms purchase is like this, and the first-line stars are full of armaments.If it doesn't seem to be important, just deal with it.

Heidi Lamarr was quite satisfied with the sublime performance of the Empire's executive vice minister, so she didn't mention why Hepburn stopped working.

Reassuring logistical support is the top priority, and Rabo Butler went to Alan Wilson to discuss it. He had no objection to the military purchase, but asked whether Xiangjiang would strengthen its security.

"My lord, the Royal Navy cannot fight land battles. Whether we prepare or not will not change the outcome."

Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Now we should think about the issue of Pakistan. Instead of unreasonable threats, we can learn from what happened in Kenya that India's defeat formed a broken window effect, just as the Russo-Japanese War escalated. Just as the status of the yellow race was abolished, the Korean War established a new power.”

"India's biggest gain from this battle is that in the wider world, India is no longer taken seriously. This world is very realistic. I can conclude that the non-violent non-cooperation movement will move from The colonies have faded, which is why the Royal Navy did not come over in East Africa, using the excuse that Kenyan Indians suffered heavy casualties this time, to bombard tribes in Kenya who are dissatisfied with Britain."

"We can take advantage of the unfair treatment of Indians to take advantage of the opportunity to cleanse radical anti-colonial tribes. This is a good excuse, because blacks really killed a lot of Indians this time. But since we can do this Do it, Pakistan will inevitably not think of other problems from this defeat of India."

"You mean to say that Pakistan will improve relations with its neighbors and face India together?" Rabo Butler said, frowning.

"It's almost inevitable." Alan Wilson replied firmly, "And we can't stop it. Even if we exhaust all diplomatic means, we can't stop Pakistan and its natural allies from approaching. Because Pakistan has realized this time, relying on Pakistan India that cannot resist, only this neighbor can clean up."

Although Alan Wilson didn't want to draw such a pessimistic conclusion, it's better to seek truth from facts.

"But the relationship between Pakistan and the United States is very good." Rabo Butler was a little surprised.

The relationship between the United States and Pakistan reached a very close level, mainly because the United States wanted to use Pakistan to contain other countries led by the Soviet Union.

As an important strategic base of the United States in South Asia, the United States attaches great importance to Pakistan and is eager to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Pakistan.Pakistan leased the Peshawar Air Force Base to the U.S. military, joined the anti-Soviet military alliance initiated by the U.S., and became the closest ally of the U.S. in Asia.

"My minister!" Alan Wilson, as the spokesperson of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, is unwilling to say something too clearly, but the permanent deputy minister must fulfill his duties, "The United States did not win the Korean War, and it cannot help Pakistan on land. What."

After India's defeat this time, the pattern formed is an opportunity for other powerful countries to reshuffle the cards and become a series of offshore balance stages, and it is the most suitable stage for offshore balance in the world.

Why do you say that, first of all, the UK is most familiar with offshore balance, and helping the third child against the second child is called offshore balance.The third child can't beat the second child, but he must have the ability to protect himself.

Using Lithuania to check and balance Russia is not called offshore balance. Czechoslovakia at the Munich Conference is very suitable for Lithuania.

Pakistan's national strength is weaker than that of India, but India cannot eliminate Pakistan.Pakistan is very suitable for introducing foreign forces for balance.India, however, is not an opponent of a certain big country, but can be used to balance a certain big country.

Pakistan and a certain big country jointly deal with the impressive India, while India is thinking about how to break through this disadvantage. India will definitely get closer to the Soviet Union in the future.This forms a logical closed loop of mutual checks and balances.

Alan Wilson did not mention the role of the Soviet Union, but explained to the Foreign Minister the highly probable evolution of the situation in the future.

Without talking about the Soviet Union, Rabo Butler accepted this rhetoric, "We support India, and the United States supports Pakistan. It is really a complicated geographical relationship."

"Certainly, Minister." Alan Wilson nodded. After India approached the Soviet Union, will Britain's position change, and will it support Pakistan with the United States?

That's impossible. I, Great Britain, don't stick to my position. It mainly depends on who gives more money. India is richer than Pakistan and is willing to add more money. Britain will definitely stand by India's side, even if India has a good relationship with the Soviet Union.

Rabo Butler is no longer obsessed with the geopolitical situation. This time the visit is huge. It is reported that India will increase its military expenditure to 40.00% of the fiscal budget, which is a lot of expenses.

Rabo Butler doesn't care about whether India is militaristic. He only cares about the implementation of India's two major orders, which will definitely satisfy the domestic military enterprises.

The two, who had gained a lot, set off on the return trip after re-advertising the invitation to the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting.Directly to Brussels to attend the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting.

Alan Wilson took the opportunity to inform the Portuguese side of the fact that India wanted to strengthen its armaments.As Portugal's non-staff colonial minister, he had the rightful responsibilities, and he spoke of Northern Rhodesia's experiences, such as the minefields around Goa.

The meeting in Brussels was tense and busy. Not only was the French Charles de Gaulle government advocating European unity because of the Cuban missile crisis, that was what Rabo Butler was worried about. It was also very difficult for Ellen Wilson and the Dragoon sisters to deal with.

"It seems to have lost weight in the end." Anna's eyes sparkled while holding the handle, "It seems that I should take good care of it..."

"Okay, Anna." Pokina stopped, telling the little girl not to be ignorant of restraint, "Our selling of silver has recovered the previous operating costs, and the rest is profitable. The stock has also recovered to the Cuban Missile Crisis Before, my dear, when do you think it is appropriate to sell."

"The first half of the year is more appropriate." Alan Wilson replied after a moment of hesitation, "The United States is considered safe before the election."

Bokina nodded, and then went straight to the point, "The two of us will accompany you in Brussels for the next few days. I intend to set up a branch office in London. Anna and I will take turns sitting in the office, so that you will not be alone."

"A united Europe is also what Britain would like to see." Alan Wilson expressed his approval in the tone of France at the European Community meeting.

Chapter 190 I Object

"What am I really capable of?" Alan Wilson was so moved that he plunged into Bokina's arms. In this materialistic world, only here can he feel a little warmth.

After a trip to India, the climate is not acclimatized, and it is quite normal for the executive deputy minister to decide to take a rest in Brussels. By the way, he can also talk to the respected German guests about the cooperation between Britain and Germany, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The EC meeting was naturally run by the widely respected Foreign Secretary, Rabe Butler, alone.

The Dragoon sisters also know their man. In the past two months, because of the chain reaction caused by the Cuban missile crisis, they are showing endless tenderness, allowing him to browse the world without leaving home.

"Finally, there was no fight." Pokina let out a sigh of relief. Once the full-scale confrontation with the Federal Republic of Germany bears the brunt, the two sisters don't want years of accumulation to be wiped out.

"There will be no fighting in the main direction. Even the Federal Republic of Germany is the front line, and NATO has no room to retreat." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "Even if they really want to fight, they will choose a secondary direction to fight. . That way the U.S. won’t have any scruples.”

In terms of the importance of today's world, Asia is indeed a secondary direction, not to mention that it is not so bad.Otherwise, the Soviet Union should place the four major European clusters in the Far East instead of Europe.

"Will war break out in India?" Anna raised her head, looked at the man eagerly, and asked innocently.

"No. India is strong enough." Alan Wilson shook his head. After this war, South Asia has formed a series of offshore balances.

This kind of check and balance is quite stable. Although Alan Wilson said that India is muddy and cannot support the wall, such a big country is more than self-protected, and a certain big country will not be endlessly entangled with this rascal.

After this battle, in the free world, a certain big country has become the most aggressive enemy, the disruptor of world peace and order, and none of them.If it weren't for the lack of foreign exchanges, more than 5000 sanctions would have been arranged long ago.

Unbeknownst to Alan Wilson, Rabo Butler was in need of his professional advice at this very moment, and that was what he was talking about.

He is still teaching the dragoon sisters, saying that the situation in Europe looks dangerous but is actually very stable. "You may not believe that if a nuclear bomb breaks out, even without the United States, Britain and France will be enough to prevent the Soviet Union from launching a war. The French Especially think so."

"Moscow, Paris, and London are all within the range of each other." Pokina rolled her eyes, and suddenly changed the topic, "What if we use the sausage-cutting tactic, constantly testing NATO's bottom line?"

"The Federal Republic of Germany is the front line. NATO doesn't have much sausage to cut? There is very little room for strategic ambiguity in Europe. Why not talk about it in Asia?" Alan Wilson shook his head, cutting sausages?Cut the Federal Republic of Germany?Or cut Italy, Sweden?

The current NATO has no chance of fault tolerance at all. It is not that decades later, Ukraine will be gone, and NATO will not lose anything. In the direction of Europe, it is impossible for the sausage-cutting tactics to be fulfilled in the current confrontation.

Even in later generations, among the dozens of NATO member states, apart from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy are considered the main force. The other member states are basically just making up the numbers, and they are not as important as Romania and Bulgaria of the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War.

There is more freedom in Asia, and based on the current mainstream public opinion, if there is any trouble in that country that is extremely aggressive than the Soviet Union, it will definitely arouse the reaction of the United States.

Although India was beaten to shame this time, it did not gain anything. Before this war, India was famous for its non-violent non-cooperation, and it has indeed established an image of a peace-loving country.

Its reputation is tens of thousands of times better than its opponents, and it is normal for public opinion in the free world to adopt India's battle reports.India has been beaten, and it will only reinforce the aggressive image of its neighbors.

Of course, India will not be able to pretend to be a big brother in the third world in the future, but in the eyes of the free world, India's encounter will only increase the danger of evaluating its opponents.The seemingly playful forward policy of Indian Defense Minister Menon was not only noticed by the United Kingdom. This is not a secret operation, but an open one.

The Pentagon assessed that India will definitely be taught a lesson. Now that the lesson is over, the Pentagon will use this example to show Washington that its judgment is correct. This country is more aggressive than the Soviet Union, such as taking a firm attitude to confront it, even if It's war.

During the Geneva Conference, the impact North Vietnam left on the United States was that it was seriously influenced by a certain big country.In the eyes of Americans, North Vietnam is just a puppet, and if there is any disturbance, there must be an envoy behind the grave.

Alan Wilson can draw a conclusion based on the current mainstream public opinion's understanding of North and South Vietnam.Once the friction between North and South Vietnam escalated, the United States did not need to mobilize public opinion to intervene in the Vietnam War, and there would be no real opponents.

In short, the more the main direction, the more the two camps will stare at each other, and they will not dare to act rashly.On the contrary, the secondary direction is more prone to accidents, and it is also easier to fight.

In Europe, because the Soviet Union was too powerful, NATO would not take the initiative to provoke each other. In Asia, there is no need to be so polite. The United States is more open to indiscriminate bombing, and there will be no psychological burden at all.

There is an old saying that you have to pick the soft persimmons. This truth is very realistic, just as it is so realistic that India is no longer taken seriously by many countries.

Rabo Butler ended the EC foreign ministers' meeting, and Alan Wilson also went to New Delhi to accept the acclimatization, and the excuse of just recovering from illness appeared.

Seeing Alan Wilson's overworked appearance, Rabo Butler naturally had no doubts about the unacceptable rhetoric, "Alan, are you feeling better?"

"It's better, but still uncomfortable." Comfort is comfort, but Alan Wilson isn't lying, he's not much better than he was in New Delhi.Didn't Anna say that?He's all skinny now.

"There is nothing to talk about about the European Community. The only troublesome thing is that France emphasized independence at the European Community meeting, and the Germans also expressed their agreement. We are communicating with France and Germany." Rabo Butler He talked about the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and then changed the subject, "But you also know that Britain pays more attention to India's affairs."

"Of course I know this, Minister." Alan Wilson nodded. What's the problem with this? Isn't the world's mainstream public opinion always on the side of India?There is indeed a little change now, and this change is nothing more than mocking India's combat effectiveness.

The ridicule of public opinion seems to be nothing to make a fuss about. Even if it has an impact, it won't see the effect in a few years.

Do you think India knows its shame and is brave?Since then, Mo Bing has experienced the shame of the horse?Anyway, Alan Wilson doesn't believe it. He has seen what happened in India in later generations. Basically, he can think that nothing has changed.

"Some voices, especially American allies, believe that Britain should make some practical contributions, such as closing Xiangjiang." Rabo Butler hesitated and said this.

"Huh? I object!" Allen Wilson said in a deep voice, and then his mind turned sharply while thinking, "Minister, compared with ours, the foreign policy of the United States still lacks an overview of the overall situation. This is also where France is extremely dissatisfied with the Cuban missile crisis. You have seen this dissatisfaction at the European Community meeting, and Germany and France are now very enthusiastic about independence."

Seeing Rabo Butler nodding, Alan Wilson was relieved, "The so-called sanctions and blockades are actually a stupid method with little effect. After the sanctions start, we have to wait for the other party's reaction. We have given the other party the initiative to develop the situation, what can we do? Just wait in embarrassment, what if the other party does not respond?"

"Then do we want to increase the sanctions? Then minister, we have taken out the only bargaining chip in our hands. What cards can we increase in the future? No, after much deliberation, there is nothing."

"Does the UK want to prove its bravery by stabbing itself with a knife and splashing blood on the other side for the sake of so-called justice? With all due respect, this is not bravery, and it does not conform to the diplomatic philosophy that the UK has always had. Regarding this suggestion, Even if I can understand it, Jardine, Swire, and even the British Hong Kong government may not be able to understand it."

Alan Wilson emphasized word by word, thinking that this is a very serious act of self-harm. If it is the voice of the UK, he now hopes that Rabo Butler will tell him who he is, and he doubts the reliability of this person.

"Uh, it's just a suggestion, and I don't appreciate this suggestion." Rabo Butler was successfully persuaded, "India is very important, but Xiangjiang is equally important. Britain will not cut off its right hand because of pain in its left hand. Stupid, very stupid."

"The minister is really very wise." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, "I will explain the solemn position of the United Kingdom to the United States, and I will personally participate in the intelligence exchange meeting."

A day later, Alan Wilson left for Washington. Coincidentally, Ingrid Bergman had something to go to the United States, and the two walked together inadvertently. They lived together in the United States for a few days.

Communication with Dulles has never been easy. Allen Wilson emphasized the two-way role of the window.No one else can see us, we can't see them, on the contrary, if the window is closed, things will become dangerous instead.

"Mr. Dulles, I heard that the black market price of Cuban cigars in the United States is very high." Alan Wilson handed the other party a box of Cuban cigars and sighed, "This is the direct result of one-sided confrontation."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Why mention Cuba again?Dulles looked at the complacent Alan Wilson, and said with an indifferent smile, "In recent months, Britain has been making a splash all over the world. People say that the empire on which the sun never sets has returned."

"Everyone is an intelligence chief, why say such false words, can you come back and Director Dulles can't see it?"

Alan Wilson put down his cigar and said calmly, "Britain's basic conditions cannot be compared with that of the United States. In Europe, it is an island country. God blessed it to initiate the industrial revolution and become the king of an era, but now it belongs to the era of Britain. It has passed."

"If you really want to say who has the right to speak in this world, the director can look at the outline of the French state and see how the French view this issue. As a European center for humanities, I believe that the French's ideas deserve attention."

There are three main ethnic groups in Europe, Latin, Germanic and Slavic, among which the Slavic occupies the largest area and the largest population.

Coupled with the current momentum of the Soviet Union, it can be said that since the emergence of the Slavic nation, it has had the greatest influence in the world.

Germania in a broad sense also includes Britain and the descendants of British immigrants, which is why the head of state has always had a good impression of Britain, but Britain does not think so, and is not interested in Germany's Germanic claim.

The rest is Latin including France, Italy, Spain, Portugal.The French advocated the establishment of the Latin world. You must know that France itself occupies half of Africa, and Portugal and Spain are also the first batch of colonial empires.

Latin culture also includes Romania in what is now the Warsaw Pact. .On the whole, the Germanic culture advocated by Germany is nothing more than a buffer zone for Latin culture and Slavic culture in Europe. Latin culture is outside Europe, including half of Africa and the whole of Latin America.

The French's great power ambitions are still commendable, and they did not bow their heads and hand over power like the Suez Canal War in the United Kingdom.

Among the languages ​​of the United Nations, Chinese, Russian, English, French and Spanish, and Arabic, French and Spanish occupy two. The area influenced by Latin culture is not smaller than that of English in the world. What is lacking is a Latin cultural center country like the Soviet Union. If France has The status of the Soviet Union in the Slavic world would make the world much more exciting.

Dulles was silent. Originally, he definitely thought this kind of remarks were a joke, but since de Gaulle came to power, there were signs that it was no longer a joke. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneered, "It's not caused by you, the UK, Britain and the United States were originally a family, but they were ambiguous during the Algerian War, which led to France's victory."

"Director Dulles, this is a shame. Washington also thinks that the French are not worth mentioning. The London side also made this assessment, but who knows that the French have resisted all the losses and insisted on not withdrawing their troops. "

As soon as Alan Wilson heard it, he immediately said, even if Britain made a mistake in its judgment on this, wouldn't the United States have nothing to do?

Didn't the United States also see France's throat cut in a month after World War II, and then it didn't take France seriously.

I think so, and the UK also thinks so, can't it?

Oh, now that the resistance in Algeria has stopped, they come to blame the UK, as if they are not responsible.

Listening to Allen Wilson's tone of why did the United States go, Dulles couldn't say anything, just like the British guy in front of him said, because of France's performance in World War II, Washington did have a kind of contempt for France I feel that the French will not be able to persist in Algeria sooner or later. What they have done is to take in some independent leaders and wait for the time to pick peaches.

If Alan Wilson knew that Dulles thought so, he would definitely laugh at it. As long as the colonies become independent after a war, this peach cannot be picked by the free world, and it will be picked by the Soviet Union in the end.

In the later generations of Algeria, the equipment of the three armed forces is all Soviet-style and Russian-style equipment. Neither the United States nor France is trusted. How many independent leaders still want to pick peaches?It was like a dream!

Dulles originally wanted to use words to test whether it was the trend of Daying's ultimate sublimation to rush out of the coffin again.

Allen Wilson predicted Dulles' prediction, and expounded the current situation that there is the Soviet Union outside and France inside.

He’s not lying, he was still in Brussels a few days ago, although he didn’t attend the official meeting, and was only interested in making goodwill with the dragoon sisters Yingde, but the content of the meeting was that France and Germany advocated the unity of Europe and made Europe’s own voice. That's right.

With so many countries meeting at the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting, he couldn't believe that Dulles hadn't received the news.

In the end, Allen Wilson was completely anti-customer in front of Dulles, "If Germany and France have voices of distrust of the United States, the root cause is not the Cuban missile crisis. The United States looks like it wants to pull the Soviet Union into a nuclear war , Scared them all. Yes, everyone has given the United States firm support in times of crisis, but such a statement does not mean that everyone has no complaints in their hearts."

"Isn't the United Kingdom in the European Community? You can explain it to the United States." Dulles has completely entered the rhythm of being the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the part-time secretary-general of the Joint Intelligence Committee. There's no harm in having a job.

"When can Britain make decisions instead of the United States?" Having successfully pulled Dulles into his strategic comfort zone, Alan Wilson relaxed. This is like Britain's fight against India. If Washington is required to come in person, if London does this instead of Washington, it will only make Germany and France believe that the United Kingdom is the spokesperson of the United States within the European Community, and even the United Kingdom will be on guard in the future.”

The impact of the Cuban missile crisis on Europe is greater than Washington imagined, especially on Germany and France.

Not to mention that Charles de Gaulle, who is now in power in France, is a stalwart against NATO. In this information exchange meeting, Alan Wilson represented the United Kingdom and informed the details of the just-concluded European Community meeting.What to do, that is the business of the Americans.

From Dulles probing whether Britain's recent performance is about to come back like lightning, to Alan Wilson saying that France is promoting the autonomy of the European Community, this round of confrontation can be regarded as evenly divided.

But there is also a difference. Dulles was really planning to evaluate the trend in France, while Alan Wilson didn't think about anything, and went directly to Ms. Ingrid Bergman to implement the Anglo-French rapprochement.

What is the Five Eyes alliance? Alan Wilson understands this question. When the British power is still there, this platform is an institution for the British to pit the United States.Of course, if the strength of the United Kingdom is gone, it will be the platform for the United States to lead other English-speaking countries.

The problem is that the United Kingdom has not withdrawn to the British Isles yet, so the Five Eyes Alliance is still an institution for the United Kingdom to cheat the United States.

Alan Wilson didn't know if Dulles would be suspicious of France's movements. Anyway, Dulles didn't mention France the next day, but asked about the low-intensity conflict in Yemen and whether he needed help from the United States.

"At present, it is not necessary." Alan Wilson answered Dulles's temptation in a tone of resolutely defending British rule in Yemen, although he had the opposite idea in his heart.

That is, the United Kingdom should shrink from Yemen. In his impression, Yemen does not seem to have any resources worth protecting. I don’t know if khat is one of them.

The strategic position is of course very important, but it doesn't matter much. If Yemen really doesn't want the British to continue to rule, it is not impossible for the British to withdraw from Yemen and let it become independent.

The whole of Yemen is divided between Sunnis and Shiites, and decades later it became a place where Saudi Arabia and Iran wrestled in the Middle East.
