British civil servant

"Ah..." Alan Wilson yawned for a long time, and said boredly, "Very well, next time there is something similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the UK can look forward to having the same status as Turkey. Nuclear missiles, it seems, will also have a place in the UK."

"Sir Wilson, once the nuclear forces of the NATO nuclear powers are together, we will have an overwhelming advantage against the Soviet Union." Dean Rusk calmly persuaded, "This is a good thing for Britain, the United States and France. .”

"Didn't the Secretary of State read the recent French newspaper? The de Gaulle government doesn't think so. And the nuclear missile is the most overwhelming advantage in its own hands. After all, the most powerful thing is when it is on the launcher but has not yet been launched. .”

Alan Wilson smiled and said meaningfully, "So it seems that there is no need for the UK to accept this very unreasonable request. In terms of economic and trade cooperation, we do have certain ideas. The US should support the UK. I think it is possible to discuss the positions of the two countries on exchange rate manipulation."

The support of Germany and Japan during the Cold War was not some unfathomable method. Now Germany and Japan have formed competition with British industries to varying degrees. Alan Wilson solemnly declared at this time, which can be regarded as clarifying this issue. "The United States Do you support the UK's proposition? Or give the UK, Germany and Japan the same economic and trade status, this is the basis for cooperation."

"Sir Wilson, the British economy is fine. We can all see it." Dean Rusk replied with a frown.

I thought you didn't know?Alan Wilson unhurriedly took out Huiying's 26 articles and read them one by one. As the articles deepened, the American diplomats on Dean Rusk's side frowned.

It is simply an unprecedented extortion!People who don't know thought that the White House just burned down yesterday.

"I really hope Sir Wilson is joking." Dean Rusk also became tough when he said this. "Imperial Preferences, which are very contrary to the spirit of free trade, still exist. The United Kingdom requires the United States to take care of Britain's economic exchanges? What kind of spirit is it?"

"We believe that the United States still needs the help of the United Kingdom in terms of global interests." Alan Wilson said without changing his face, "This is an obvious fact, not an illusory phantom."

"On such a solemn occasion today, I don't want to emphasize the threat of the Soviet Union. Two months ago, the United States felt it personally, but the United States is still making wrong judgments. I am very worried about the future of the United States."

The threat of the Soviet Union cannot be overemphasized. Even Alan Wilson felt that Russia after its disintegration would be difficult to deal with.

Think about the total economic volume of the United States itself plus the European Union. Even if Russia's economy is underestimated due to sanctions, that is an astronomical gap, but so what?It's not that Europe and the United States are disgraced.

Adding up to 40 trillion economies, the 5000 trillion economies can’t come down. It can be seen that Russia is really angry, and how embarrassing it is for Europe and the United States. The economic gap is more than [-] times. For a comparison, it is Venezuela before sanctions compared with the size of the U.S. economy.

The Soviet Union has only shipped nuclear missiles from Cuba for a month. What is the United States talking about unifying its nuclear forces here?

When World War II ended in [-], Britain wanted to rule the world together with the United States. Today, it is far less difficult than it was then. How hard is it to want to be a follower of the United States?

"After unifying the nuclear forces, it will help increase the trust between Britain and the United States, unless Britain believes that its special relationship with the United States has come to an end." Dean Rusk began to threaten with a cold face.

"You should talk to the de Gaulle government about this. I think the disintegration of NATO has reached the countdown." Alan Wilson was unmoved in the face of this threat, "Dear Secretary of State, you should understand a little bit. . Europe has stood its ground, and the fact that it has the help of the UK has helped a lot."

"The French government has always advocated the independence of Europe. We and France have different understandings on this point. But if they are persecuted? It is not impossible to unify the understanding. If that time comes, will the United States still be able to stand in Europe?"

Alan Wilson reminded Dean Rusk, the U.S. Secretary of State, that the history of the founding of NATO is that the United Kingdom contacted France and took the initiative to let the United States be the leader of Europe. Once Britain and France feel that their interests have been damaged, can the United States stay in Europe stably? That's an unknown.

"The United States is defending the freedom and stability of Europe." Dean Rusk emphasized, almost tilting the table.

Alan Wilson was a tactical retreat, rebutting in a calm and unhurried manner, "It is to make Europeans think that the United States is defending the freedom and stability of Europe. The Soviets do not know whether it is, and France also does not think that the United States is defending Europe."

Before Dean Rusk could refute anything, Alan Wilson added another sentence, "The United States didn't win the Korean War, even the second country in the Soviet bloc. Why do you think the Soviet Union is afraid of the United States' pity The number of troops garrisoned, so there is no action against Europe?"

This is already a contempt for the military strength of the United States, although Alan Wilson said it once in front of Dulles before.

But what occasion is this? This is a formal meeting of the Anglo-American summit meeting. When he said this, he almost questioned the capabilities of the United States.

Dean Rusk glared, then looked at Rabo Butler, "Secretary for Foreign Affairs, I want to know, is this voice a common understanding of the British diplomatic team?"

"Dear Secretary of State, this is only the understanding of some people." Rabo Butler smoothed things over with a smile, and then asked, "Is it the common understanding of the American political circles to include British and French nuclear weapons into the common nuclear force?"

While Kennedy and Eden were posing for a photo of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the diplomatic teams of the two countries immediately collapsed.

This made the two big men silent. The two had a certain degree of psychological preparation, and through this meeting, they knew to a certain extent what the other party's purpose was.

Kennedy knew of the existence of Huiying's Article 26. In his view, it was a blackmail from the United Kingdom to the United States.

Aiden also knew that the United States really wanted Britain to hand over the nuclear weapons that had been exhausted and put into actual combat after the war.

Regarding the right to use nuclear weapons, Alan Wilson reiterated that the United States broke the contract, and President Truman tore up the shared nuclear program, causing Britain to suffer huge losses.

In terms of trade protection, Alan Wilson mentioned that the United States secretly set up obstacles to prevent the British Comet airliner from entering the US market until the Boeing airliner came out.This is not the case at all when dealing with Japan and Germany. They try their best to cultivate and consciously let Germany and Japan compete with Britain and France.

"Washington was obedient to the Soviet bloc, and Washington was aggressive towards its allies. The result was the Cuban Missile Crisis, and now European countries have increased their distrust of the United States. At this time, the United States also hopes that Britain and France will include nuclear weapons. under the command of the United States."

Major newspapers in London expressed their concern about the Nassau meeting, which also aroused the solidarity of Agence France-Presse.The de Gaulle government has declared to the outside world, "France's nuclear weapons belong only to France and will not be handed over to anyone, whether it is an ally or any country."

The stance of the de Gaulle government has aroused great repercussions in Europe, and many European countries have recognized it.Britain and France had conflicts with the United States on this issue.France, although not participating in the negotiations, has been speaking in solidarity with Britain.

Ladies of the same rank as their wives in Bonn, Paris, London, are also concerned about how their men are doing in Nassau.

Of course, Alan Wilson is trying his best to safeguard the interests of the United Kingdom, just like a repeater repeating Huiying's 26 articles.Let the United States open its market, provide unconditional aid, and face up to the exchange rate manipulation of Japan and Germany.

As for whether to hand over nuclear weapons or not, the Huiying clause can be discussed, and other matters will be discussed later.

"Perhaps Britain thinks that it no longer needs the help of the United States? Is it because of the war in Asia, the dispatch of the Royal Navy caused Britain to have an illusion of thinking, others don't understand, don't the United States know that Britain's so-called saving India is a joke. "

Dean Rusk directly exposed the public opinion that India was able to retreat under the so-called British intervention.This is simply a lie, the war would have ended without Britain.

"Well said, now let's talk about what it means for the United States to do the same thing during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Maybe we should tell people all over the world about the U.S. withdrawal of Turkish missiles and let them know that the whole crisis in the U.S. Is it possible to make the Soviet Union retreat in the face of difficulties?"

Allen Wilson joked eccentrically, "Of course the United States can send nuclear missiles back to Turkey. I believe that with the strength of the United States, it will definitely be able to frighten the Soviet Union. So what if it doesn't count? The Soviet Union really dares to tell the truth? But again Coupled with the public opinion in the UK, it is not so easy to stick your head in the ground like an ostrich, right?"

The atmosphere at the meeting venue has become more and more enthusiastic. Both sides are using practical actions to prove what is the real special relationship between Britain and the United States. Dean Rusk reminded a basic fact, "Don't forget that the British mainland is not big. So far it is still a colonial country."

Alan Wilson got up directly, and performed what it means to walk away in front of Dean Rusk.

In the eyes of the Americans, this is this difficult British diplomat who has been seized by the United States for seven inches, and he is at a loss for words.The departure of the opponent can prove that although the process is tortuous, the United States has already gained the upper hand in this round of talks.

But in less than 10 minutes, Alan Wilson dragged a large suitcase back and forth, unhurriedly opened the suitcase, took out a fifty-page investigative report, and read, "300 In July [-], when a group of North Korean refugees in rags approached a U.S. position next to a railway bridge, U.S. soldiers stationed there opened fire on them, and planes joined in the strafing, killing at least [-] people, most of them women and children."

"A sudden air strike on an island near Incheon in September killed more than 100 civilians."

"In January of the following year, U.S. Air Force planes dropped napalm bombs on civilians sheltering in a cave in Danyang County, North Chungcheong Province, killing more than 300 people. The two airstrikes were carried out during the day, with good visibility and no misjudgment."

"This is a photo taken by British diplomats at that time." Alan Wilson was hanging around Dean Rusk holding the bound photo, "Dear Mr. Secretary of State, the United States is indeed not a colonist, and the command of the South Korean army is still in the United States Is it in the hands of the headquarters? Similarly, the situation in Japan is similar to that in South Korea.”

"I don't learn to ignore it myself. I graduated from Oxford University completely by accident. With my superficial knowledge, I don't understand the difference between the current state of Japan and South Korea and the colonies."

"With the current level of poverty in South Korea and South Korea's de facto military-style government, if this incident is known to citizens from all over the world, how will the United States respond to this public opinion attack?"

"Also! This is the record of killings and rapes by the US military stationed in Japan in the past ten years." Allen Wilson smiled and took out a thicker investigation report, "More than 5000 cases, all of which can be recorded by the Japanese government. It's appalling."

"First of all, I am not blaming the American soldiers stationed abroad, because the British army is not very kind in the colonies. Of course, it is much more kind than the American army. I just want to explain that if you look deeper into the definition of a colonial empire, it may be It will be embarrassing, and the one that is embarrassing is definitely not Britain, the whole world knows that Britain is a colonial empire."

All the documents and photos taken out were all recorded in detail. In fact, the Koreans themselves know that the multiple massacres by the US military are also the reason for the anti-American wave in South Korea in later generations.

This time, the talks collapsed without any accident. Dean Rusk accused the United Kingdom of failing the trust of the United States in its allies, and even investigated the sterilization.

"If it wasn't for the United States wanting to apply similar treatment to the United Kingdom, I would not have shown it. The United States is still a reliable beacon, and the United Kingdom is willing to archive these documents and not publish them. After all, in the face of the issue of the Soviet Union , Britain does not want the reputation of the United States to be damaged, and some isolated incidents in Japan and South Korea, how can Britain really care about it?"

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

Some criminal acts in Japan and South Korea are small problems after all. If you don’t talk about this kind of thing, I won’t talk about it. If the two countries with the hegemony of public opinion in the English-speaking world don’t talk about it, it will not spread to other people’s ears.

Although Churchill was replaced by Prime Minister Attlee of the Labor Party after the war, the dominant thinking in Britain after the war was still to maintain Britain's status as a global power and an imperialist power during a period of rapid changes in national political challenges.

In all fairness, even if the Soviet Union retreated into an inactive international political force immediately after the war, Britain would have made the above policy a top priority.

Maintaining the image and facts of Britain's international power through leadership discourse, influence ability, and swollen faces is a considerable part of the mentality of British national planners, military and political circles.

Imperialist policies are not dead.The Middle East and Far East are still important fortresses of the empire, and Britain still has a large number of troops stationed in many areas, such as the Persian Gulf, Malaya, and Kenya; the scale of the garrison cannot be underestimated.

Under such circumstances, Alan Wilson officially used the land-scraping method of learning both Chinese and Western to bring blood back to Britain as soon as possible.

In fact, Britain formulated a plan to invade the Soviet Union in [-], and the person who formulated this plan was Norman Brooke, who was about to leave the position of supreme authority.

God knows what Churchill thought at the time, but there were not a few people in the British government at the time who thought that the post-war British economic downturn was only a temporary difficulty. .

Coincidentally, Eden is one of these people. The Conservative Party believes that this is the price of victory, and the Americans will definitely pay for the British.For British bureaucrats and politicians, the decline in Britain's international status following its victory in the war was simply an anomaly.

In the end, it was not the United States that paid the bill, but British India, which was dug three feet into the ground, and Canada, which helped the United Kingdom at a critical moment. But anyway, the abnormal phenomenon that the Conservative Party believes has happened but not completely happened. Britain out of intensive care after bleeding profusely.

Under these circumstances, Eden would not have agreed with Kennedy's assertion that Britain was not taken seriously.

Now that Aiden and Kennedy both think about the same thing, how can they make each other compromise?

"Agence France-Presse's report on this summit is from TASS, and Germany's response is roughly similar to that of Agence France-Presse." Alan Wilson compiled news reports from various European countries and handed them over to Prime Minister Eden.

This is all from London to Nassau via telegram. In fact, there are many voices, all of which are called the European Solidarity Club. This is the deep government in the European sense, including Schuman, who are clamoring for European unity every day. change.

Needless to say, Britain, even de Gaulle was not interested in these people, but at the moment of the Anglo-American summit.An enemy's enemy can also be a friend. Since these people support Britain, they are naturally Britain's bargaining chips.

This is partly the voice of European countries, and the voice of Britain's own public opinion also focuses on criticizing the bellicose nature of the United States.In fact, the belligerent criticism of the United States has already begun since the Korean War.

If it weren't for Alan Wilson, who said that no one knows the East better than me, and he tried to dredge the relationship with the British pound, the Attlee government would definitely be brought into the Korean War, which would make Britain's newly balanced finances unbalanced again. Pay off the U.S. debt.

That is to say, since the beginning of the Korean War, the United Kingdom has become more and more wary of the United States and its Cold War policy. The United States has become more and more belligerent and more inclined to preemptive strikes. Policy differences.

Once the hot war started, the United States was far away, and the British mainland was in Europe, so the Soviet Union could get Britain.

The outbreak of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which eventually led to the withdrawal of Turkish missiles, made Britain firm on this point, and it was even more impossible for Eden to agree that the United States regarded the United Kingdom as the front line for offshore balancing of Europe.

"Negotiations are indeed quite difficult." Aiden, who had been posing for a day, nodded heavily after listening to Labo Butler... Alan Wilson's report behind him, "Kennedy, after a day of contact, made me I feel that he has a lot of ideas."

"I don't have many ideas. Will Aramco be given to Saudi Arabia, and the steel industry controlled by Wall Street will be adjusted to death." Alan Wilson looked tired, "I don't think he may be re-elected. The oil group and the steel group , are all powerful and deep-rooted industrial groups in the United States. So far, I haven’t seen Kennedy exchange interests at all, but just keep suppressing.”

Alan Wilson didn't say in front of Aiden that Kennedy would definitely be happy, but that Kennedy might step down.

Whether Kennedy will be assassinated, there is no doubt about it. Kennedy was killed by execution in public, which shows that there are not one or two forces that want to kill Kennedy.You must know that the power of the President of the United States is extremely rare in Europe and the United States. According to the conclusions of some key people, the President of the United States has the power of an emperor.

From the perspective of Chinese history, there are many princes who died unexplained. How many adult emperors who were in power were killed on the spot?

After thinking about it, Alan Wilson felt that Li Yuan fit this standard, so it doesn't matter who his son is?Besides, Li Yuan is not dead.

"But now Kennedy's support rate in the United States is still very high." Rabo Butler was a little embarrassed.

"So during the meeting, I said that I would use the influence of British public opinion to talk about whether the Turkish missiles should be withdrawn." Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Of course we don't want to do this, we just hope President Kennedy heeded Britain's legitimate appeal."

In the end, Alan Wilson still had to take care of the overall situation. After all, he is the spokesperson of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.It would be unwise for the UK and the US to fall out because the US military is stronger than the UK.

But on some issues in this meeting, Britain still can't agree. Just like Alan Wilson said, the United States can't even win the Korean War. Do you really think that the Soviet Army is afraid of the US troops stationed in Germany?It was because of the fear of nuclear weapons, and the Soviet Union was unwilling to exchange its own life for that of Europe.

If the Soviet Union were in Canada's place, would the United States be proud in Nassau today?Called Dad for help.The current situation is that the United States and the United Kingdom are discussing the issue of stationing British troops in the United States, not the other way around.

At the same time, Kennedy was also talking with Dean Rusk about the stalemate of the summit meeting. Regarding the show-robbing executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kennedy didn't care too much, "Sir Wilson and Robert have a very good relationship, you Think about it, he is one of McCarthy's few friends, so it goes without saying."

"The problem is not a certain negotiator, but the British Prime Minister and even the British government are still stubbornly maintaining the so-called glory of Britain."

Kennedy still doesn't believe how tough Alan Wilson is, and the other party is not the chief executive of the United Kingdom.He is just a No. [-] figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How could he represent the British government? At most, he is just a negotiator pushed out.

Maybe it was deliberately pushed out, using this official who has some intersections with American politics to gain more bargaining chips.

If Alan Wilson was in front of Kennedy, he would definitely say, "President's opinion..."

He is just a mere No. [-] figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is no deep government. It's just a joke.It’s not like Kennedy has never seen the deep government before. Isn’t the deep government in the United States beaten to death?

From Dean Rusk, Kennedy also heard some dissatisfaction with the United States from the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom believes that the United States deliberately supports Germany and Japan and competes with Britain's superior industries. This is true.

The United Kingdom believes that the current military policy of the United States is too aggressive. Kennedy believes that this has nothing to do with him. The Korean War was not fought when he was president.

The two days of negotiations cannot be said to be without progress, but it can basically be said to be without progress. This time, the negotiations have attracted the attention of the whole world. Kennedy feels that it is even more difficult than dealing with the Cuban missile crisis.

On the third day, Kennedy finally couldn't bear to end himself, "The value of the pound is unstable. If the United States takes out some gold reserves, it can put the pound into the ranks of waste paper."

Aiden took it out in a hurry. Within a year, De Gaulle’s bickering about the US dollar is the US’s exploitation of Europe’s remarks. Of course, these remarks were collected by Alan Wilson. Because of the Nassau Conference in history, Kennedy threatened to short GBP.

"If Mr. President insists on doing this, I can only say that the price of the British pound becoming waste paper, even the dollar is not worth much more than waste paper." Aiden said calmly, "This will destroy Blaise. The order of the Tonwood system, and this order should be maintained by Washington, if it is destroyed, Mr. President's political journey may not be long."

The Breston Woods system has indeed maintained the hegemony of the United States, but this system is also relatively fair. It is a pigtail that manipulates each other, rather than letting the United States do whatever it wants.

It is precisely because of relative fairness that the countries that supported the US currency proposition at that time surpassed the countries that supported the British pound.Are all other countries stupid?Let the United States use the dollar to do whatever it wants around the world?

If Kennedy wants to attack the United Kingdom economically at the expense of the dollar system supported by gold reserves at this time, there is no doubt that this is digging into the corner of American hegemony, shooting himself eight times in the back and committing suicide is the only ending.

In the British camp, there is a hidden double-faced person who has already planned a strategy and won the victory thousands of miles away. The executive secretary said that the blackmail by the United States may be on the pound, but it does not matter, this is a suicide threat.

In fact, Kennedy was also worried about the U.S. trade deficit, which led to a decline in gold reserves. As a result of using gold reserves to suppress the pound, Kennedy would surely die before the Braston Forest system collapsed.

The first thousand and 210 chapters are fruitful

Taken together, Kennedy's threat to use America's gold reserves to render the British pound worthless is bullshit.

With a friendly attitude, the British side did not directly say that Kennedy's threat was not worth mentioning, but just ignored it.

Regarding the U.S.'s desire to take control of nuclear weapons from Britain and France, Alan Wilson proposed a solution for the U.S. on behalf of the U.K. to increase the size of the U.S. military stationed in Germany, which can reassure European allies.

As for the deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe, and even wanting to deploy nuclear weapons in the UK, it is completely unnecessary.

In front of US Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Rabe Butler emphasized that the only way to compensate for Europe's insecurity is not to increase nuclear weapons, which are not the way to reassure European countries at the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis The method is to increase the hostages under the eyes of the Soviet tank army in Europe, that is, the size of the US military stationed in Germany.

If the U.S. deters the Soviet Union from attacking the U.S. mainland with "big report and retaliation," this threat will be more credible to the Soviet Union.However, if the same threat was used to deter the Soviet Union from attacking Western Europe, the credibility would be reduced.

In order to enhance the credibility of this threat, in terms of conventional armed forces, the United States must station troops in Western Europe as a reassurance.The United States must keep enough hostages in Europe to make European countries feel safe. .

Instead of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons will only increase anxiety. This is also the reason why the French must study nuclear weapons and think that the US nuclear umbrella is empty talk.

"The United States has been protecting Europe." Dean Rusk flatly refused, "This will increase the military expenditure of the United States."
