British civil servant

"If it's what you said, I'm sure I'd like to help." Monroe nodded slightly, her beautiful chin facing the man.

Alan Wilson stared straight at Monroe's face, and nodded meaningfully. Why is it always so easy to make money? I really hate it.

The first thousand 220 nine chapters Indo-Pacific

If the time comes, can Jacqueline be pulled after Kennedy's assassination?Wouldn't it be double the happiness if Monroe was added?Thinking of this, Alan Wilson couldn't help but fantasize.

Coming out of Vivien Leigh's apartment and turning around, Alan Wilson unlocked the door of Ms. Monroe's room. This time, the speech was very serious. If the female president was not in London at this time, the cabinet secretary would want to be here. stay.

"The Secretary-General of Whitehall is such a good husband. He will go home at that time." Monroe calmed her rapid breathing, and did not forget to tease the Secretary-General of the Cabinet who was about to lift his trousers and run away.

"I don't want to hurt the trust between husband and wife. It has nothing to do with fear." Alan Wilson brazenly defended himself, "The main reason is that there are too many women who love me, so I have to pay attention."

"That's really hard work for you." Monroe rolled her eyes at the sneaky cabinet secretary, and stopped entangled in this issue.

It's not that the secretary-general of the cabinet likes to work hard on diplomacy, but that the prime minister is a foreign minister and has little contribution to economic issues, so he directly does the work of the foreign minister.

And because at present, the United Kingdom is indeed still a shelf of a world power, and diplomatic work is indeed extremely important.

Overseas interests aroused the Prime Minister's concern, and Alan Wilson followed suit and came up with an Indo-Pacific strategy, but it is not the same as the US's strategy decades later, but how the UK treats the middle ground between the two camps strategy.

It is worth mentioning here that the secretary-general of the cabinet is a pro-American faction, firmly opposed to promoting any third-party forces with France, and is not interested in the independence of the Charles de Gaulle government.

The Indo-Pacific strategy is not about wooing neutral countries to start anew. Nehru has already tried this path.Whether it is successful or not, the Kenyan Indians were finally pushed back into the arms of India by the British after paying the price of blood.

At this moment, the Indians in British Kenya have packed up and started their journey back to India under the special care of the British.

The United Kingdom, which resolutely stopped racial vendettas, has been evaluated by a responsible major country. Of course, the Soviet bloc may disagree, saying that this is an inevitable result of colonialism, but it doesn’t matter, it’s fine to be a Soviet fart.

After all, the wealth that can be taken away is a minority. As the backbone of the colonies of the British Empire, Indians have left behind real estate that cannot be taken away. These real estates will naturally fall into the hands of the British to buy off the black elites in Kenya. To be precise , after the previous racial conflict, the relatively honest black elite remained.

After this battle, Alan Wilson is very optimistic that he can stay in Kenya for at least five more years.As for sacrificing an Indian, what is it? The British Empire is in a difficult time. Shouldn't the jewel in the crown of the British Empire be sacrificed?

This is also very normal, from what I eat what the dog eats to what I eat what the dog eats, now I am very powerful, and I am ready to eat dogs.

For the current UK, India has become independent, and Indians are naturally no longer important.Wherever the focus is on, people will be employed there, so dogs should be killed as soon as they are needed.

Decades later, the United States did the same to the European Union. When it was discovered that the harvest target was covered with hedgehogs, it was naturally easier to deal with an organization with a weak military like the European Union.Could it be that the United States can do this, but Dad can't?It just doesn't make sense.

But even so, India's share is still extremely important in the Indo-Pacific strategy personally implemented by the cabinet secretary.This can't be helped, the size is there and ignored, it is Alan Wilson's dereliction of duty.

Sir Allen's version of the Indo-Pacific strategy has Indonesia and India's shares, but it does not contain the content of a certain major country.Why should there be?A country in the Soviet camp is not suitable to appear in the Indo-Pacific strategic report.

The content of India mentioned that South Asia has formed a series of checks and balances, Pakistan checks and balances India, and India checks and balances a certain big country, and it also believes that the United States' support for Pakistan may cause troubles in Britain's treatment of India.

For the next diplomacy, if Britain thinks it can still fight, it is best to talk to the United States to give India some breathing space.

Of course, Alan Wilson did not focus on this content, and filled it in only to express the loyalty of the cabinet secretary to the country, and he did not want the United States and the United Kingdom to stand on the side of India.

This has both economic interests and strategic value considerations.What if Pakistan and India were the exact opposite of the historical choices he remembered?The direct consequence is that the Soviet Union can hang the United States up and hammer it.

Because Afghanistan is a pro-Soviet country, the distance between the Soviet Union and the Indian Ocean is only one Pakistan.If Pakistan falls to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union can directly drink the Indian Ocean and cut off the Eurasian continent from the middle. The United States will not be able to move this disadvantage back anyway.

It is also because of seeing this terrible consequence that the United States is resolutely supporting Pakistan.It is terrible for India to fall to the Soviet Union, but it may happen in the future. If the roles of Pakistan and India are reversed, it will not be the future. Now the United States has to consider whether to surrender and lose half.

It is routine to fill in the content of India, and the rest is the Indonesian paragraph. Just yesterday, news came from the Dardanelles that the fleet that the Soviet Union wanted to donate to Indonesia has been included in the Mediterranean Sea.

This example makes Alan Wilson even more handy in exaggerating the Indonesian threat theory. He cannot hesitate anymore, and must strike hard.

Indonesia's population is only 9000 million, and Indonesia has a total of 300 million members. Even a large country at this time does not have such an exaggerated proportion. If it is left unchecked, it will definitely harm the stability of Southeast Asia.

"Jakarta, Pyongyang and XX have formed an axis, let it go. The consequences will be disastrous!" In the Alan Wilson report, he vigorously exaggerated the threat Sukarno posed to regional security.

This is not alarmist talk, except for the Suharto period, the relationship between Indonesia and a certain big country is indeed not bad.

If it is summarized by Eastern civilization, Iran may think about whether it knows itself as the West or the East.But India and Indonesia will not have such hesitation, the two countries consider themselves the East.

Under normal circumstances, Indonesia, like India, hates the legacy of Western colonialism and expresses its dislike clearly.

The relationship between Indonesia and Australia has never been good. Even during Suharto's time, Australia was secretly guarding against Indonesia. Even if Suharto had proved his loyalty with hundreds of thousands of lives, it still could not calm Australia's doubts.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has been clearly identified by Australia as a pro-China regime, and Indonesia is the vanguard of subverting Western civilization and order. If it is not for its lack of strength, Australia, which is also the deputy police chief in the Pacific region, will probably learn from Israel to preemptively strike up.

"The importance of Malaya's industry to Britain cannot be overemphasized." Aiden agreed with the cabinet secretary's vigilance. The Soviet Union's sending such a fleet to Indonesia did have a great impact on Malaya's security. threaten.

Even in the second Ballista operation, Aiden did not show obvious opposition. Apparently, the Prime Minister did not think that it was impossible to accept a preventive war plan against the country of Indonesia.

"What do you think about the Iranian issue?" Aiden didn't have a clue yet, and asked about the Iranian issue's attitude.

The Iran issue, to put it simply, is that after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States tried to eliminate the influence of the Soviet Union in northern Iran.

Alan Wilson replied, "After all, Iran is next to the Soviet Union. We are a little worried. After all, in terms of military power in the Middle East, we should be more cautious when facing the Soviet ground power. If it is at sea, there will be no such problem." .If the United States is willing to assume the main support, we will help in the diplomatic field and economically, this is no problem."

Iran and the Soviet Union are neighboring countries, and the possibility of Soviet interference cannot be ruled out. Even if Pahlavi is believed to be in charge of the cause, the free world must prepare for Soviet interference before it can act.Obviously the current preparations are not enough.

This conservative attitude also made Eden nod. The relationship between Iran and the United Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. The United States occupies most of the interests. It is indeed the United States that should come forward to confront the Soviet Union.

"I will discuss these issues with the heads of several intelligence agencies." Seeing Aiden's attitude, Alan Wilson expressed his willingness to make some preparations.

It is indeed not so easy to face the prime minister. This is still relatively rare for Aiden who pays attention to diplomatic work and does not care much about the domestic situation. If he is a prime minister who focuses on domestic affairs, there will definitely be more such trivial matters.

"Philby, what do you think I should do?" Alan Wilson drank whiskey to himself, "I don't know if there was a similar template for the Prime Minister's enthusiasm for international affairs."

"Iran's problem is really difficult." Philby was also not very interested. "When will the plan to overthrow Indonesia start?"

"Find a suitable opportunity, preferably during a visit abroad. Of course, if there is still no such opportunity, you may have to take some risks."

When Alan Wilson said this, he suddenly said, "You don't seem to be very interested."

"McLean's condition is not optimistic." Philby hesitated for a moment. Donald McLean suffered from severe alcoholism. He was better when he was abroad, but he was not like this after returning to China. Fortunately, Maclean graduated from Cambridge and has a reliable background. , but transferred to idle positions.

"Oh, poor Macklin." Alan Wilson said with a flash of sadness in his eyes, "Such a good man has encountered such a thing. I hope God will let him be safe."

I don't know if God, the old man, can control atheists, maybe he can or can't.

The first thousand and 230 chapters of Kennedy's dissatisfaction

"When it comes to matters in the Middle East, we support the Arabs, which is different from the United States." Philby asked the supreme authority in front of him. Britain's policy in the Middle East is slightly different from that of the United States. The current fulcrum of the United States in the Middle East is Iran and Israel, the hidden fulcrum is Saudi Arabia.

"Of course, the consequences of supporting Israel are too serious. At this time, Britain's diplomatic work should be more pragmatic." Alan Wilson nodded, "Anyone can understand the situation in the Middle East. Arabs can lose countless times. Come on, Israel loses and it's over. And to be honest, Israel's actions in the Middle East are nothing more than applying to the Arabs what the Germans did to the Jews."

Britain has always not supported Israel. If there was no Suez Canal War in history, it would keep a distance from Israel for a long time. It just so happens that there would be no Suez Canal War in this world.

Even decades later, Israel's dominance remains dangerous.Even if his American father has helped him, he has turned a series of Arab secular powers, Egypt, Iraq, and Syria.

But there is still Iran, and even the United States is tired and almost boring, so it can't do anything to Iran.And Iran is not the last problem. If Iran is also finished, there will be Turkey in the world of the Peace Church.

Can the Turks not oppose Israel?Iran is still a Persian. Once Iran falls, only Turkey will be left as a powerful country in the world of the Church of Peace. The easiest way to win people's hearts is to raise the banner of anti-Israel.

Israel's troubles are destined to be endless, and Britain cannot support them, let alone Britain's interests in the Arab world.

"Practical diplomacy?" Philby almost laughed. The pragmatic diplomacy of the cabinet secretary is to continue imperialism in another place?Like in Indonesia?

"Practical diplomacy. Just as pragmatic as the Soviets." Alan Wilson could hear the traitor mocking himself, but he could pretend not to hear it, and he could think whatever he wanted. "Britain is a colonial empire is a historical fact." , so in the current world, the attitude is softer than that of the United States, and it doesn’t matter if other places stand together, but the Israeli issue is not a trivial matter.”

Britain's natural resources are endowed in Europe, but Europe is a barren continent with natural resources comparable to India's. Eastern Europe is rich in resources, all of which are under the control of the Soviet Union.

It is impossible to rely on Europe itself for development. Colonization is almost a must for European colonial countries.Nobody can shout universal values ​​on an empty stomach, right?

But precisely in the process of colonization, Europe can be said to have offended countless nations. If the Middle East issue and the United States wear a pair of pants, if the United States sees a bad opportunity and slaps its ass and leaves, what will Britain do?Although the United Kingdom looks down on Europe's defeated opponents in its heart, it cannot avoid the fact that it is a part of Europe geographically.

"Same as the Soviet Union?" Philby raised his eyebrows and said insincerely, "I didn't expect that we would still stand with the Soviet Union. This world is so amazing."

"Who says it's not?" Picking up the glass and drinking the whiskey, Alan Wilson muttered in a mild manner, "We can definitely do better than the Soviets at the diplomatic level, not worse."

In Alan Wilson's view, this is not difficult at all. Both the Soviet Union and its predecessor, Imperial Russia, can be said to be the most diode countries in the world. Like the Russians, the contrast between wild appearance and fragile heart is similar.

The whole country clearly recognizes that the military is the most important at any time, but it also makes cultural construction impressive.

The performance in diplomacy is that it is extremely easy to be influenced subjectively. When it really meets a country that comes to seek refuge, Moscow is elated with a few good words and directly provides tens of billions of subsidies.

And once the little brother is disobedient, he raises a big stick and shouts to beat and kill, which shows the side of Laozi's party.

As far as the diode diplomacy of the Soviet Union is concerned, as long as Britain does not decline to be held hostage by the United States, it is not difficult to deal with it.Think about how much India benefited from the Soviet Union during the Cold War?Allen Wilson can't wait to let the Soviet Union benefit the United Kingdom.

The current government's chancellor of the exchequer, Regina Medening, sent the grand blueprint to Alan Wilson through Frank, and other aspects are also good. The Conservative Party is not like the Labor Party, which wants to nationalize any industry.

Only on the point of sterling policy, Alan Wilson feels that it needs to be discussed. Regina Medening hopes to regain the glory of sterling with the help of a good financial situation.

Alan Wilson disagrees with this. The gold reserves of the United States are [-] times that of the United Kingdom.The same is true in terms of military strength, and it is completely a strengthened version of Britain in all aspects.

Under such circumstances, it is impractical to challenge the monetary hegemony of the United States. It is better to wait quietly for the de Gaulle government to take back the gold belonging to France from the United States, and then make a decision after waiting and watching.

The current monetary policy of the British pound is still limited to a stable position in the British pound area, and the dollar will not be caught by the loopholes.Lay your foundation and wait for the right time.

When discussing with Prime Minister Eden, Alan Wilson expressed his conservative attitude towards the pound issue. "Before the goblins in Zurich are not surrendered, it is too early to regain their former glory. This risks breaking with the United States."

Aiden nodded approvingly. As the prime minister, he saw the time when the British pound ruled the world. It was definitely not like the de Gaulle government thought things were so simple.

An ounce of gold equals $35.This exchange rate is guaranteed by the U.S. government.

In other words, any bank can hold US dollars and exchange gold from the Fed (fixed exchange rate).As long as the short-term debt balance of the United States does not exceed 260 billion US dollars, and the US dollars circulating around the world do not flow back in huge quantities, the US dollar's reputation will be unbreakable.

A total of [-] million ounces of gold are held by the Federal Reserve (where it is stored in the United States), Citigroup, ***, First Boston, and the Americas. (Stored globally, mainly in Switzerland).

Therefore, the goblin of Zurich mentioned by some British politicians does not refer to Switzerland at all. What can a mere Switzerland do to Britain?Rather, it refers to the United States, which keeps its gold in Switzerland.

Although the French have strong financial strength, they have never actually occupied a large share in the international financial field.Before the Breston Forest system, it had always been in the position of a challenger to the pound, and it was impossible to imagine how difficult it would be to shake this advantage.

The franc wants to challenge the dollar, unless the whole of Europe stands with the French, which is also impossible.It may not be good for the US dollar to rule the world, but it must be better than the world ruled by the franc.

Last year, the settlement share of the British pound has dropped to 30.00% of the world[-], and the circulation share of the U.S. dollar has increased. At present, the liquidity of the British pound should be stabilized, not others.

An incident occurred in Washington on this day, which greatly angered Kennedy. Maxwell Taylor, in his capacity as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commended a commander in Vietnam and persuaded Secretary of Defense Robert McKenna Marat, let him appear in the United States Congress together.

In front of a bipartisan Congress, Robert McNamara praised him, "To put it lightly, he is one of our best fighters."

"He graduated from a prestigious university and can speak the local language fluently. Lieutenant Turner's knowledge of Southeast Asia is no less than a research expert. But he is also a fighter through and through, a unique all-round fighter .This soldier can fly a helicopter, drive a tank, has a high level of skill, and can walk 25 miles with a load."

Admiral Maxwell Taylor didn't react at first, but he frowned slightly when he heard this and muttered, "This kind of people in Washington talk about military technology all day long, but they have never actually worn a piece of clothing. Military uniforms, and never smelled the stench of rotting corpses after battle."

But how to say, the Secretary of Defense is also the spokesperson of the military. Maxwell Taylor can't pierce the exaggeration of the other party, so he can only quietly make a glorious expression.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could only step forward, make a perfunctory opening statement, and then began to read the content of the commendation order.

Much of the award order is classified and kept secret for years or even decades.Taylor was well aware that, as the Pentagon strongly demanded, the entire award should not be kept secret.They needed a hero to get Congress to pay attention to the situation in Vietnam, but the White House ignored it.

Regarding a jungle encounter, the cunning of the North Vietnamese guerrillas is the focus of the commendation order. As for the soldiers who followed Turner, the sad death of Sergeant Canver was briefly mentioned, mainly focusing on the United States in order to defend the free world sense of mission.

The commendation order is finally finished.The awardee stepped forward with difficulty and stood beside the podium.Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara also approached, turning to a fully clothed Army officer holding a box with his medals in it, the lid open.

Amidst the applause of members of both parties in Congress, this unique award was remembered by everyone.

Kennedy actually knew that in Congress today, the Secretary of Defense was going to explain the US position on Vietnam. He didn't expect this to happen, and he was very angry because it might lead to belligerent voices sweeping the political arena.

"Training the South Vietnamese army, plus a garrison of 6000 is enough. What South Vietnam has to do is to defend itself, not to sacrifice the lives of American soldiers, in a place of little value."

Kennedy looked dignified, and emphasized in front of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, "The United States has never shirked its responsibilities, but it will not fight for those Vietnamese. This is not our purpose."

Robert McNamara replied, "I don't think the Pentagon has any special purpose, but I just hope that Congress can pay attention to the heroic soldiers who are dying, and don't be too harsh on them."

The first thousand and 230 chapters are scattered

"This is naturally no problem. The government has always paid attention to their sacrifices. The situation is very complicated. I heard from the British that the Charles de Gaulle government in France is trying to improve relations with the Chinese."

Kennedy sighed, in his tone there was a feeling that people were scattered and the team was not easy to lead.

The source of this news, of course, is Alan Wilson, the Secretary-General of the British Cabinet, who is walking on the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

France is also a smaller country, and agricultural resources are not a problem, but there are some shortcomings in industrial raw materials.Otherwise, there is no need for Britain, and you can take the third road by yourself.

In fact, while Alan Wilson is putting out fires everywhere every day, he is a little envious of the French, just take care of Africa.It was as if he had traveled from Ireland to Khitan, and his notoriety was known to everyone.

"Eh? According to some intelligence, they are conducting a nuclear project." Robert McNamara asked, wanting to know what Kennedy, the president of the United States, thought.

"As long as I am president, they will not be able to get nuclear weapons." Kennedy made a solemn promise as president, and then changed the subject, "We are advancing a treaty to limit nuclear weapons with the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. The main purpose of the negotiations is to ban air, foreign Space and underwater nuclear weapons test explosions..."

There was no United Kingdom in history, because before this meeting, the United States had brought Britain's nuclear weapons under joint management through the Nassau Agreement, while France's nuclear weapons were not yet ready for use, and the research on hydrogen bombs had not yet been figured out.

At present, only three countries in the world have hydrogen bombs in their hands, namely Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.There is also the Trinity strike force, but part of the British Trinity is placed in Australia.

In view of this, Kennedy will naturally not think of the role of France. Americans can ignore France, but Britain cannot. Although Alan Wilson insists on the special relationship between Britain and the United States, he also expresses that France will definitely not agree. In particular, the attitude of the United States to ignore France will definitely irritate the French.

"In this case, we should choose a neutral place to negotiate. Before we negotiate, we should have a good talk with the French to express the British position." Eden also agreed that we should have a good talk with France.

Alan Wilson nodded and informed the French side of the latest American movements through the diamond ambassador.He also serves as the executive vice-minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Naturally, he has to run around for the country and busy himself with diplomatic work.

He knew very well in his heart that France would definitely not agree to restrict nuclear weapons at this time. France's hydrogen bombs have not been successfully tested. If they agreed, it would be tantamount to acquiescing that France is a level lower than Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

There are also differences between nuclear-armed countries. Hydrogen bombs are second-generation nuclear weapons, and their power is not comparable to that of atomic bombs.Only the atomic bomb is on the same level as India and Pakistan.

Although pessimistic about the reaction of the French, diplomatic work is like this, and it cannot be stopped because it has no results.What if the French have lost their minds?
