British civil servant

"About the fact that the United States has been protecting Europe, it may be the case that it stationed troops in individual countries. The U.S. military stationed in Germany is the largest overseas U.S. military station, but if the U.S. troops stationed in Japan and the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea are combined, the number of troops stationed in Europe exceeds that of Europe. The United States keeps claiming to protect Europe, but the reality is that there are more U.S. troops in Asia than in Europe, how can this convince European countries that the United States is sincere in protecting Europe?"

Alan Wilson retorted calmly, "If the scale of the US troops stationed in Germany is larger than the combined scale of the US troops stationed in Japan and South Korea, I believe it will be more conducive to the security and stability of Europe."

One of the most interesting things during the Cold War is that although the United States pursued a strategy of confronting the Soviet Union with Europe at its core, in fact the main force of the US military was deployed in Asia for a long time.This had a huge impact on the US global military strategy.

For the Federal Republic of Germany, before the establishment of the Bundeswehr, NATO's military strategy was to abandon the entire territory of West Germany and build a defensive line on the Rhine River, which is called the retreat strategy.

After the establishment of the Bundeswehr in West Germany, NATO adopted a tripwire strategy, which was to retreat from the border area when the Soviet army came, and at the same time use tactical nuclear weapons to block and consume the Soviet army.But whether it is a "retreat" strategy or a "trip wire" strategy, Germany is the most unlucky, because the mainland will become the largest battlefield between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

After stepping down on France and stepping down on Germany, the United Kingdom has continued to create air chips. In terms of military affairs, the United Kingdom regards European security as the criterion, rejects the United States to increase the deployment of European nuclear weapons, and also rejects NATO's unified command of nuclear strategy.

Instead, it is hoped that the United States will increase the size of the US military stationed in Germany, and the lives of American soldiers will prove that the United States will protect Europe, rather than adding nukes to Mo De's feelings.

Economically, Britain hopes to open up its market and increase its strength, so that Britain can help the United States stabilize the defense line in Europe and curb the threat of the Soviet Union.

When Alan Wilson raised conditions on behalf of the United Kingdom, it was awe-inspiring.Treat all the claims of the United States as fart. As for the claims of the United Kingdom, the United States should accept them all.

All the threats issued by the United States during this period were all refuted, and using gold reserves to short the pound was digging one's own grave.What was destroyed was the entire Breston Forest system.

If the United States wants to disintegrate the colonial system, war is the best place for communism to expand, as Lumumba proves.

Both Britain and the United States admit that this may be the most intense negotiation in their lifetime. Dulles, who hadn’t shown up for several days, approached Alan Wilson, hoping that the executive deputy minister would come forward to maintain the special relationship between Britain and the United States. “If your wife knows you Close personal relationship with Lana Turner, Joan Bennett."

"Yeah, Cheryl is actually my daughter. What's the matter!" Alan Wilson said in a nonchalant tone, "Lana loves me very much, and she gave birth to the crystallization of love for me. Not only did I marry them both They have a close relationship, and Ms. Monroe even went to London to see me, but this time I, as one of the negotiators, had to let down Ms. Monroe's enthusiasm."

The relationship between Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, with the birthday song incident, has been known to the American public.Alan Wilson is not a threat, after all, everyone loves a sexy goddess, and he can understand.

If one day Kennedy encounters an accident, his body can help take care of Jacqueline, not to mention Marilyn Monroe.

Now, Marilyn Monroe is indeed in London, while Kennedy is in Nassau, so when Dulles used the information he had to secretly threaten Alan Wilson, Alan Wilson reminded him in turn that this matter was relatively cheap, and he No mention of Marilyn Monroe.

"Alan, in fact, Britain and the United States still have the most common interests." Dulles smiled dryly, and changed the subject, "The two countries should stand together."

"Indeed!" Alan Wilson nodded solemnly, "On the matter of iron ore in Brazil, the Mountbatten Group and the U.S. Steel Corporation have had a very good cooperation. It would be great if the affairs of the country could be as simple as doing business. "

The deputy secretary told the other party that the two sides are not without contact, in fact, the connection is quite close.

As for the matter of nuclear weapons, the differences between the two sides are still too big. Although Alan Wilson has a special relationship with the United Kingdom and the United States, he is only an official after all, and it is impossible to affect the government's understanding.

I'm very sorry, he really can't help, "This intricate network of relationships."

December 21 was the third day of the Anglo-American summit. After three days of talks in which the two sides talked differently and the differences were greater than the consensus, both Britain and the United States understood that the so-called grand gathering of unity was impossible.

The two countries have very different understandings on many issues. Of course, what makes the United States particularly displeased is that after the defeat in the Korean War, the United Kingdom actually doubted the combat effectiveness of the United States, and used the Korean War as an example in the talks several times. At the end, I took the Bay of Pigs operation as an example.

Up to now, both parties have admitted that it is really impossible to persuade the other party to consider the issue according to their own ideas.

"How can we tell about success?" This vigorous summit meeting turned out to be such a result, and Aiden couldn't help thinking, how to tell the media.

"The government has resolutely safeguarded international interests and defended Britain's status as a world power." Alan Wilson took a sip of goji berries, and he has been spitting a lot these days.

"There is no consensus on the right to use nuclear weapons, and European security." Rabo Butler asked.

"The United States has realized the core source of the strength of the free world." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "It lies in the strength of European countries themselves. As the defender of Europe, the United States has realized this."

"Economic receipts are the most annoying thing. The United States has not agreed to any of them." Aiden wanted to use this meeting to explain his shortcomings during his tenure, that is, compared with the lackluster Attlee cabinet. The economy has improved some results, but it has not.

"Economic development is stable, and even the Americans admit that Britain has completely shaken off the haze of World War II." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "There will be no problem in this way. In fact, we have nothing to ask the United States. Then As the capacity of the Malayan industrial base rises, the operation of the Imperial System of Preference is strengthened rather than weakened."

Of course, there are other issues. Regarding the British request for the United States to increase the size of the US military in Germany, you can write a special book after you go back, especially emphasizing the role of hostages.

Emphasizing this way will help Europe’s overall demand for the United States. This time, the United Kingdom will negotiate with the United States on behalf of Europe. If the United States does not increase the size of the U.S. troops stationed in Germany, the United Kingdom will not lose anything, but other European countries may not necessarily It's as open-minded as the UK.

After some polishing, the above are the achievements of this UK-US summit meeting in the UK.

"But having said that, we have hidden all the contradictions in the public information." Rabo Butler said honestly, "This is also for the Soviet Union not to misjudge and think that there are great contradictions between Britain and the United States."

"The threat of the Soviet Union cannot be overemphasized, my minister!" Alan Wilson agreed with Rabo Butler's words. Europe still needs the United States, let alone the Soviet Union, even if it is facing Russia.

Even decades later, Alan Wilson wondered how many countries in Eastern Europe were anti-Russian.

Except the three Baltic states and Poland are really anti-Russian.Bulgaria is definitely not anti-Russian, and the proportion of pro-Russia is more than [-]% all the year round.Romania will be lower but not too much lower.

Because the countries in southeastern Europe, the first is the Slavs, and the second is the Slavs rescued by the Russian Empire from the Ottoman Empire. The NATO situation is naturally not mentioned. What if NATO fails one day?Will Southeast European countries make a gorgeous turnaround?

Not to mention these new NATO countries, Greece joined NATO a long time ago, and it is also not anti-Russian.

The hegemony can suppress the true thoughts of the friends, and one day the hegemony is gone?Wasn't Poland as quiet as a chicken when it was so anti-Soviet during the Cold War?It didn't jump like this after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

This summit meeting, which can be called unhappy, has come to an end, and Kennedy has returned home.And Aiden is also packing his bags, preparing to go to Paris to talk to Charles de Gaulle.

The first thousand and 210 chapters, don't worry

It must be admitted that France’s strong solidarity with the United Kingdom played a big role in this Anglo-American summit meeting. There is no stronger France than in history, and the United Kingdom may not retreat so easily. .

To save France is to save Britain. This metaphor, which can be called a joke, will one day become a reality.At the end of World War II, Britain's resolute move to bring France into the permanent membership of the United Nations finally paid off at this moment.

After the United Kingdom and the United States issued a stinky and long joint communiqué with no content but something to say, the British delegation left Nassau and soon arrived in Paris, the capital of France.

The two old rulers began to report to the group to warm up again. Britain and France did not completely agree in their views on European affairs.But at least so far, the idea of ​​the so-called third-party forces has not given up.

Furthermore, this time the independent voice of Europe has helped the UK a lot, and it should come if it is reasonable or reasonable.

The meeting between de Gaulle and Eden was also considered by the French to be a key step in European power.It would be even better if de Gaulle did not mention the status of Quebec in this meeting.

Since the founding of the Fifth Republic, some influences have gradually emerged, not to mention making the United States at a loss what to do, and making it difficult for the United Kingdom to accept. The issue that makes Britain and the United States dislike it is the Quebec issue.

Charles de Gaulle's government came to power in France, which led to the silent revolution two years ago. In the economic field, the local government tried to increase French control of the Quebec economy.Before that, the Quebec economy was largely dominated by Anglo-Canadians and American investors.

Fortunately, de Gaulle did not go deep into this embarrassing issue for the United Kingdom. Of course, there is another issue that the United Kingdom does not like very much, such as criticizing the hegemony of the US dollar.

The UK certainly does not like the hegemony of the US dollar. If there is a choice, the UK will definitely hope that the pound will return to its original status. However, no matter how bad the US dollar hegemony is, it is better than the franc replacing the US dollar.

There is only one last issue that Eden is very willing to discuss in depth, and that is how Britain and France will distribute their industrial layout, get their own cake in the European Community, and establish a leading role for European countries.

Although Eden is interested in this issue, the French proposition is not to be accepted in its entirety.Because France is also a competitor of the United Kingdom in many industries. All in all, at the Nassau Conference, the perception of France was not bad, but it was quickly lost in Paris.

Alan Wilson has nothing to say, he is actually very interested in the dollar hegemony that de Gaulle said.But you can't declare this idea, otherwise the reliability will be questioned.

He remembered that the first to blow the horn of attack against the Breston Forest system was the French.

The U.S. dollar is not printed casually in this era. The Breston Woods system is simple to say, that is, the U.S. dollar is pegged to gold, and other currencies are pegged to the U.S. dollar.There is no such thing as a floating exchange rate, but a fixed exchange rate.The proportion of death.

Although the U.S. dollar is the global currency in name, in fact other currencies also have a strong circulation capacity.Because he must have gold behind him.In fact, everyone is still using gold as the standard for transactions.

Under the Breston Forest system, debt is really a big deal, and debt is real money.After the war, you can see how Britain was out of breath under the pressure of debt. The United States also attaches great importance to the trade deficit, and is afraid that the gold in its hands will flow out.

Because of this, when Kennedy said that he would use the gold reserves to turn the British pound into waste paper, Alan Wilson evaluated this threat as a suicide move. If Kennedy did this, he would definitely die a miserable death.

Since the U.S. dollar is essentially backed by gold, the following operations can be performed to withdraw the gold stored in the United States.Use gold to issue bonds and raise funds to US dollars.There are far more dollars in the world than gold, and the gold reserves in the United States are only for credit.

The unit price of gold on the market must be higher than the price given by the Americans, which is $35 an ounce.Especially after the start of the Vietnam War, after the United States issued more dollars, the ratio of the dollar to gold was even more disparate.

The actual U.S. dollar is not as valuable as the Breston Woods system stipulates, so the following operations can be carried out: issue bonds, raise U.S. dollars, then buy gold, and after buying gold, issue bonds with gold as collateral for refinancing.This is endless, and the gold reserves of the United States will not be able to bear it if this continues.

When the Breston Forest system was established, Keynes, as the negotiator of the United Kingdom, said that the system was unsustainable and wanted to replace gold with bulk raw materials.

It's just that the bulk raw materials were under the control of the United Kingdom at that time, and the United States would never agree.

"Many of de Gaulle's opinions have completely wiped out our newly raised goodwill." Rabo Butler said to Alan Wilson very distressed, "He even said that he would establish diplomatic relations with China."

"This is an unreasonable act of treachery." Alan Wilson's face changed suddenly. "This will break the fact that the United Kingdom monopolizes the trade channel of the world's No. 1 exporting country through Xiangjiang. It cannot be tolerated. This is harming the national strength of European countries."

On some issues, Britain can also be a European country. "We must try our best to prevent France's very rash actions and clearly inform the de Gaulle government of the seriousness of this matter."

Alan Wilson told Rabo Butler that this was a clear undercutting of the UK and was outrageous.

Rabo Butler also agreed, "It is indeed necessary to take a tough stance against France on this issue. By the way, Allen, where are you going?"

Of course, with the two female presidents on the rocket!Thinking of this in his heart, Alan Wilson replied seriously, "I have been physically affected by flying, so I usually need to take a break when I reach my destination. I have always stayed at the Windsor Castle Hotel."

As for the location of the Windsor Castle Hotel, opposite to the headquarters building of Woodpecker Films, this is also very reasonable from the perspective of sufficient source of tourists, and it can also receive some well-known guests, which will open up the hotel's brand name.

Rabo Butler nodded and approved the explanation of the executive deputy minister. After the release of the Anglo-French joint communiqué calling on the United States to increase the size of the US military in Germany, this visit came to an end.

Britain got nothing, that's ok, America got nothing, that's ok, both have a bright future, moving forward hand in hand.

"This is a world of reconciliation, let us look to the future and seek common ground while reserving differences..."

Alan Wilson, who had sequelae of flying, used practical actions to prove that the so-called sequelae were mainly caused by Schrödinger.After getting off the plane, he went straight to Vivien Leigh's apartment, practicing a combination of public and private.

Skillfully unscrewed the door, accurately captured the sound from the bathroom, took off the disguise and rushed in with ease.

In the entire bathroom, there were only two people looking at each other. Marilyn Monroe stared at the uninvited guest, her body was motionless like a sculpture, which was very embarrassing, time passed by inadvertently...

"Let Vivienne know, it depends on how you explain it." Marilyn Monroe frightened the man who had just gotten closer.

"Then what should I do? Should I say sorry, I thought she was inside?" Alan Wilson said with an afterthought, "Although it was a mistake, I don't seem to feel regretful."

What happened to Kennedy's woman, don't ask, it's the special relationship between Britain and the United States.It is incumbent to take care of the affairs of the allies.Now it's just an obligation ahead of time.

"This time I'm negotiating with Kennedy." Alan Wilson couldn't wait to advertise himself as a winner.It shows that he has made the United States ashamed.

"What are you talking to me about?" Marilyn Monroe didn't seem to care about this matter. After the birthday song incident, she knew that she could not drive Jacqueline away, and the enthusiasm of the sexy goddess was not unlimited.

"Don't you think I'm very powerful." Alan Wilson asked seriously, "Even if he is the president, the president of the most powerful country in the world, he doesn't just do whatever he wants."

"Are you good?" Marilyn Monroe rolled her eyes and praised, "You are indeed better than him. It's been a long time..."

This kind of praise is very ecstatic. Seeing the dancing man, a smile flashed in Marilyn Monroe's eyes.

She has always believed that a girl who pursues equality between men and women is just a girl who lacks ambition.

"Do you want me to keep it a secret from Vivian?" Marilyn Monroe asked after putting on her clothes, glancing at the man who was doing the same thing.

"To be honest, I don't really care. It would be best if I could not disturb her mood." Alan Wilson said in a soft tone, and the executive deputy chief spoke so hard, and this is not the time when there are many people outside , must not lose the initiative.

"That's really surprising. I don't know how you made Vivienne fall in love with you." Marilyn Monroe was a little surprised. Hollywood is a big dye tank, but she was sure that Vivien Leigh was not a casual woman, but to such a The man is dead set.

Maybe living with a man younger than that, that's it?Marilyn Monroe pondered this question.

"I suggest to Ms. Monroe, don't go back to the United States. Look at the situation." Alan Wilson said, "Recently, the British media's manipulation of public opinion on you and Kennedy may have some influence. I apologize .”

"This apology is not very sincere, but it's better than nothing." Marilyn Monroe said with her red lips lightly.

Don't look at Alan Wilson looking so tough, but he is actually thinking about how to repair the relationship with the Kennedy family.

Still the old way, through McCarthy and Kennedy’s younger brother’s connections, he emphasized his involuntary difficulties in this meeting. The role of pretending to be the big brother is over, and the role of outsiders has begun.

The first thousand and 210 chapters enter the Whitehall

Vivien Leigh was overjoyed at the man's return, and her eyes were involuntarily drawn to him.She saw water droplets staying on the tip of his nose and upper lip, and suddenly she didn't feel cold anymore.Her right hand seemed to have a will of its own, reaching out to wipe a drop of water off his mouth.Her fingers lingered there, a strange warmth in the blood.

"Vivian." The man whispered, his lips moving under her palm.She was out of breath again and unable to speak.

"You're so beautiful." Her hand reached for his chest, and he leaned forward while she stood on tiptoe.He grabbed her shoulders with his fingers and pulled her closer.The kiss was light and tender and surprisingly beautiful.This was exactly the kiss she had imagined, but it was a pity that the time was too short.

Marilyn Monroe had a grimace on her face. It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with this man, and she had no right to be dissatisfied.

But seeing poor Tom being manipulated by the palm of his hand, I just can't help but want to expose the hypocrisy of the gentleman.

"Monroe is still here." Vivien Leigh finally stopped being obsessed with masculinity, "Are you here to deliver the script?"

script!Oh, the script, Alan Wilson remembered that he used a movie script to ask Vivien Leigh to trick Marilyn Monroe to London. Of course, this is actually just an excuse he used to hold Kennedy hostage. This Nassau meeting can be said to be useful or OK It's useless to say, because Dulles really told him about the relationship between men and women.

Just take it as useful, Alan Wilson has a quick brain. As an extremely professional filmmaker, he not only takes the queens on the rocket, he must use it to lull these queens.

There is no script for the time being, but he can make it look like, "This is a very good script. I believe that once it is filmed, it can subvert the image of Ms. Monroe. It can be said to be of great benefit."

Before becoming the supreme authority, Alan Wilson may be the last time to write the script as a diplomat. He likes the movie The Truman World very much, so he decided happily to copy it...

As for the role of Monroe, of course it is a change from the vase role of selling meat before, and the heroine who rescued Truman and told him the truth.

After expressing the general idea, Marilyn Monroe was really surprised, "Your imagination is very good. If you are in Hollywood, you must be a very good screenwriter."

"At most, I complain about my bad luck, and I have never doubted my talent." Alan Wilson put on a forced expression, "But obviously, from the perspective of benefiting society, the current career is still more suitable for me, and Not in the film industry."

Just like Hepburn, who shows people with a pure face, can play Tiffany's breakfast tailored for Marilyn Monroe, why can't Marilyn Monroe play The Truman World.Although it is a movie with a male protagonist, adding a little female protagonist as Bai Yueguang will not detract from the classics.

After all, it is a product of the peak era of Hollywood cultural hegemony, not a Marvel series that focuses on special effects.Alan Wilson believes that a good script will not be buried just because he copied it.

In this way, for the sake of the script, Marilyn Monroe decided to stay in the UK temporarily and prepare to shoot a movie in Europe.

Alan Wilson and Vivien Leigh found a house nearby for Marilyn Monroe, and the three went to visit together.

Marilyn Monroe was content, the front door was open and there was a warm fire in the living room.The room is filled with chairs and sofas, and there is even a grand piano.Looking through the door on the right of the living room, Qiaoqi saw a small library with books lining the walls.To the left was the dining room, with a large oak table surrounded by eight chairs, and beyond that was the kitchen.

"It's not bad. The climate in London is still different from that in the United States at this time of year." Alan Wilson also said with satisfaction, "I hope Ms. Monroe can feel at home. Of course, you can also live with Vivienne. Come live."

After all, he is a man of the same status as Vivien Leigh and her husband. When he came here, it was inconvenient for two women to live in the same house. It would be much more convenient to live separately. Anyway, the distance of sight is less than [-] feet, so it is convenient for two women to visit .

"What are you doing?" Marilyn Monroe looked puzzled, not knowing why this man left and returned.

"Give me the key to the house, it will be more convenient." Alan Wilson stated the purpose bluntly.
