British civil servant

Alan Wilson looked directly into Monroe's eyes and sighed, "Kennedy's murder has become an unsolved case. If those murderers are still alive, will his brother be allowed to become president? Robert Kennedy has also done justice. Minister, I know how to get the truth out of things. It's too dangerous. If it were me, I would definitely not allow him to come to power."

Calculating the time in my mind, Robert Kennedy probably only has two months left to live. The person who killed Kennedy now hoped that he, Kennedy's younger brother, would not be so popular.

Once it is determined that he cannot be prevented from entering the White House through normal means, then even the president can be killed, and there is only one candidate left?

Really?Monroe was a little lost, but immediately her face returned to normal, "It's as if you know it very well, you haven't been to the United States a few times at all."

"The deep government is like this, and there is no distinction between countries." Alan Wilson took Monroe's hand and pulled it into his arms. The old god was there, "My power as the secretary general of the cabinet is unlimited."

Although the Kennedy brothers are a mess in terms of personal morality, they have indeed convinced Americans in many things that they are for the betterment of this country.

Robert Kennedy, who was elected, is also raising the banner of anti-war, saying in his speech that our brave young people are dying in the swamps of Southeast Asia.

Some of them might write a poem, some of them might cure cancer, some of them might win a World Series or make us laugh on stage, or build a bridge or a university, some of them Teach children to read.

It is our duty to keep these people alive.How sad it would be if they died for the vanity of their country.

But for the wars that have already been waged, this statement is not a statement accepted by everyone. For the most powerful country in the world, other countries do not expect you according to ordinary countries. The defeat of the United States will be extremely serious. A big setback to national confidence.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union jumped into Afghanistan every few years. Otherwise, the United States would suffer from sequelae for a long time. In case the Soviet Union also followed a certain big country to carry out a limited intervention and replaced the head of the Afghan government, it would plant Amin to fight with Pakistan. Reconciling and recognizing the Durand Line, did the Soviet Union withdraw its troops after being invited to kill the traitors?

The next step is to use the powerful heavy industry to arm Afghanistan to regain its homeland, instigate a north-south attack from India, and act as the rear of the two countries.

From the perspective of decades later, this is entirely possible, but the Soviet Union's diplomatic capabilities are as diodes as this country, and there has never been a middle ground.

If he was a Soviet, he would definitely follow this route, but he is a British, so there is no need to imagine how to prevent the Soviet Union from falling into a pit. From this time on, the Soviet Union is stepping to the top step by step. Once it is confirmed that the United States cannot stand it in Vietnam, The Soviet Union will turn from defense to offense.

The problem now is that Robert Kennedy's anti-war remarks at this time are very embarrassing for the United States. The United States still feels that I have the advantage, and the situation in Vietnam can still be saved.

Moreover, the Kennedy family made another move last year. The famous Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko visited the United States.

Robert Kennedy threw a lavish dinner at his Hickory Hill home, typical of the Kennedy family's "outward reach."The Kennedys and Yevgeny Yevtushenko talked for hours about poetry, the Cold War, Vietnam, and hundreds of other topics.It's hard not to think about it.

"It's too dangerous to engage in politics." Monroe raised her head and stared at the man who claimed to be the supreme authority in Britain, "Let me see if you will sacrifice me for something."

"That's absolutely not, I'm not that kind of person." Alan Wilson said, thinking about it, "I don't need to be the prime minister or president, the deep government, I have already done it."

On the morning of April [-]st, Pamela Mountbatten, who passed through Dubai for a day's rest, appeared at London International Airport. When she walked out of the airport, she saw a familiar figure. She took two quick steps and threw herself into her husband's arms. Is London doing something bad?"

"I'm not that kind of person." Moral Vacuum spoke so ordinary and so confident, reaching out to pat Pamela Mountbatten's back, and walking out side by side holding hands.

The two seemed to be in the time when they just met. At that time, they knew each other not long ago, and they suddenly felt that the greatest interest was to talk and chat with each other alone, and they could talk from morning to night, and it was not enough.At that time, it was as if I had suddenly fallen into the mythical world of love that I had secretly longed for since childhood and adolescence.

It was a hot and dry time in the subcontinent, and the sun over New Delhi hung low in the sky like a bright red fireball, wrapped in red and plain, which looked extraordinarily enchanting.The love between the two swirled in an uninterrupted frenzy of happiness, which seemed to be a fait accompli, or at least a fact about to be realized.

And yet, that's when something seemed to start poisoning their happiness, making a beautiful relationship less natural.

"When I came here, I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for two days, and I talked with Princess Badia in the Middle East." Pamela Mountbatten said what she saw and heard when she came back. Generally speaking, it was not bad, "But my dear , you also know that my father knows many generals in the US military, it seems that the position of the commander-in-chief of the US military is already unstable."

"Admiral Westmoreland? He is indeed almost bound to this war. If I were him, I would stop struggling." Alan Wilson replied with a chuckle, "It's better to be stubborn to the end, that's okay. Get closer to the support of the conservatives. I think the person he should learn from is Manstein. He hastened to write a book about his lost victories, and put the responsibility on the US government, emphasizing that the US military fought bravely. Can't win."

"Your mouth is still so sharp." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help giggling. Manstein was well-known in the world, but her husband didn't seem to like the German general very much.

"My rocket is sharp!" Alan Wilson just didn't have a tail, otherwise he would have raised it up long ago, and he still didn't forget his flamboyance at this time.

"At that time, I'll see if it's as sharp as what you said." Pamela Mountbatten raised her eyebrows, and then asked another question, "You asked me to stop running on gold, why?"

"The reason is that France has indigestion now. The run on gold has brought about the appreciation of the franc, and as I said before the run on gold. France has not yet had the power to drive other European countries to act with France. The French get gold. But the pressure brought by the appreciation of the franc has also led to increased pressure on French exports."

Alan Wilson talked eloquently that France's move to run on gold has reached a critical point. This critical point is whether the French industry can afford the continued appreciation of the franc.

With one-sixth of the total economic output of the United States, France has swallowed thousands of tons of gold, and it will definitely suffer from indigestion.

This run on gold, other countries are also waiting to see, mainly to wait and see how much France can swallow, and the second point is whether the United States will retaliate against France, and this retaliation refers to the financial field.

If France cannot continue to run, it means that the run in France has peaked.And if the United States can’t let France suffer in the financial field, it means that this round of run in France also proves the weakness of the Federal Reserve. The former is only a measure of France’s financial strength, and the latter is of great significance. You can’t even retaliate against France. There are other countries too.

Not to mention other countries, the Federal Republic of Germany has the same economic strength as France. In addition to the Federal Republic of Germany, there is also the United Kingdom. Holding France does not mean that it can also hold the other two.

"But having said that, how much gold have you exchanged behind the French over the years." Alan Wilson was also very interested in this question, and this was the first time he asked.

"I thought you would always show disinterest, but I finally couldn't help it." Pamela Mountbatten smiled brightly after hearing this, and stretched out four fingers, "It's less than four hundred, isn't it amazing? Hurry up if you want to praise, praise is still useful now."

"My Pamela is really amazing." Alan Wilson pinched his wife's chin and tugged lightly twice, "Quickly stick out your tongue."

The first thousand and 340 chapters are not aimed at third parties

Rest is not a waste of life, it allows you to do more efficient things when you are awake.

Any medical student who is still in school.will tell you.Fatigue reduces the body's resistance to common illnesses and colds; and as any psychotherapist will tell you, fatigue also reduces your resistance to feelings of worry and fear.so.Preventing fatigue also prevents worry.

Just as the hostess came back, the two took a good rest and explained what they had gained from the gold run. Pamela Mountbatten asked about domestic news.

"No big deal, just preparing for the opening of the World Cup. After all, it is the most extensive sport in the world and deserves attention." Alan Wilson replied lazily, "We can also use this to promote the surrounding area and see if we can borrow it." The World Cup boosted the economy."

The influence of the world far exceeds that of the Olympic Games, especially for Europe. In terms of the promotion of the surrounding industries of the World Cup, Alan Wilson remembers that the concept of the World Cup mascot was pioneered by the United Kingdom.

The trend of using the national flag as clothing in later generations started with the mascot of the World Cup in England. In the early European traditional thinking, the national flag pattern could only be embellished in a prominent position of clothing in the form of badges and markers, such as the chest.The top of "Willie" is directly made of a ribbon-cut British flag, and the pattern of "rice" forms the main theme of the front of the top of "Willie".

It can be said that the patriotic theme of wearing clothes with national flag patterns can be regarded as the first of its kind in Britain, which has influenced the fashion trend of later generations in the world.

"Be careful of football hooligans." Pamela Mountbatten reminded after hearing the words, "This kind of sport, with its inherent market atmosphere, is too barbaric."

"I'm not from aristocratic background either." Alan Wilson patted the buttocks of the richest woman, and immediately made Pamela Mountbatten whimper and say something like you are an exception.

British football hooligans have indeed appeared and received media attention, but it is hard to say how much trouble there is. Alan Wilson remembers that the British football hooligans were the most troublesome in the 90s.

It's very simple. In the 90s, Britain carried out a vigorous wave of privatization under the leadership of Thatcher, and social conflicts expanded rapidly. The working class affected by the privatization reform is often the main supporter of the football league, just like Pamelamon As Barton said, football itself has a market atmosphere.

A group of unemployed people vented their dissatisfaction through football, causing frequent tragedies. Mrs. Thatcher joined forces with UEFA to ban British clubs from participating in the three major European cups, and directly cut off the football hooligans. There has been a big step backwards, with Britain's perennial monopoly on European competitions directly interrupted by the government.

British football is actually known in Europe for its technology flow. When it reappeared in the European arena, it has become a British rough. Later, although it used capital to make the Premier League the first league, in terms of performance, it has been unable to regain its original quality. British fans did not forgive Thatcher until her death.

After spending the day of guaranteeing the logistics of the richest woman, Alan Wilson returned to the two-point and one-line work, and asked the Ministry of National Defense about whether the Warsaw Pact exercise threatened Poland.

Alan Wilson listened to the ambiguous and endless report, and gave an ambiguous and ambiguous response.

In fact, this year is the time when the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia, but it seems that the situation in Poland has attracted the Soviet Union's greater attention and covered up Czechoslovakia.I don't know if this has anything to do with Alan Wilson driving back the Polish government-in-exile.

If there are problems in these two countries at the same time, choose between Poland and Czechoslovakia. There is no doubt that the Soviet Union will definitely choose Poland.For the Warsaw Pact, the GDR was the frontier of the Soviet Union, while Poland was the bottom line of the Soviet Union. As long as there were no traitors, the Soviet Union would never let Poland get out of control.

Once something happens to Poland, it means that the Soviet Union's strategy of building a friendly country around the border is bankrupt, because Poland is a neighbor of the Soviet Union, and it is still a heretical Slavic country that is quite at odds with the Russians.The Soviet Union could not afford to lose Poland.

"About the June [-]th exercise in the West, it may be to deter Poland and to demonstrate against us. In fact, the exercise we are planning can also be carried out according to this idea. Now the student organizations in France are almost like this, and we can easily see it. , some supporters of Trotsky seem to have appeared. To be honest, I even want to call out to the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union promises not to support these heretics who were driven out of the country by Stalin."

Alan Wilson fiddled with his fingers and changed the topic, "Why don't we discuss with the Americans and secretly warn the United Kingdom and the United States that the Soviet Union should not subvert France and obtain a promise."

It has to be said that the names given by the Soviets have not changed. The western and western ones are called Dongfang or so when they conduct exercises in the Far East. There is really no sense of humor at all.

"Now the United States is still playing hide-and-seek with the Viet Cong. If we don't give any response, it will inevitably make the Soviets look down on NATO. A certain response is necessary."

When meeting with US Ambassador Donald in the afternoon, Alan Wilson made such a statement. The free world has no intention of aggravating the confrontation, but the Soviet Union is going to conduct exercises over there. If there is no reaction here, is it a bit unreasonable? About NATO discourse In terms of power, the pattern of the United States as the mainstay and the United Kingdom as the supplementary has not changed.

Now it depends on what the Americans think. Because of the Vietnam War, the United States has transferred part of the US troops stationed in Germany. At this moment, the size of the US troops stationed in Germany is not as large as the British troops stationed in Germany.

And in terms of ground arming, the Patton tank modification of the U.S. Army, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, is really not very deterrent.

The British army stationed in Germany is declared to be the Rhine Army, which is the heavy armed force of the British Army. It has a scale of about 8000 people. It originally had nearly 8 people. However, with the investment of British nuclear forces, conventional forces have also gained. Reduced to the current scale.

At this time, the size of the British and American troops stationed in Germany is about the same. The main combat unit under the Yin Group Army is the First Army, which includes four division-level troops: the Second Infantry Division, the Sixth Armored Division, the Seventh Armored Division and No.11 Armored Division.In addition, the Rhine Army also includes a Canadian division with a mechanized brigade of 7000 people.

According to NATO's defense plan, the British Army's First Army will face the Soviet Union's Third Combined Arms Army, headquartered in Magdeburg, GDR, which is one of the most powerful armored forces ever.

Facing the echelon attack of the Soviet Union's torrent of steel, the [-]st Armored Division in the north on the left and the armored division in the south on the right will serve as the main frontiers of echelon defense operations.The Seventh Armored Division was arranged as a reserve force, ready to fight the second echelon of the Soviet Union and fight for the initiative on the battlefield.

The Second Infantry Division uses the Viser River as a backing to defend the security of the area behind the battlefield. At the same time, the aviation brigade is assigned to the Second Infantry Division. When overwhelmed, hold up the last air anti-tank barrier.

A little understanding of the arrangement of the four-nation division to occupy Germany will know that the British troops stationed in Germany are facing the frontal direction of the Soviet Union's attack. As for the U.S. troops stationed in South Germany, they simply do not fight.

There is no way around that. Who told the UK to insist on the Ruhr area in Germany? Now that it has taken down the most essential part of Germany, it will face the problem it is today.The United Kingdom has rejected the United States several times, and it has to exchange the proposal of the occupied area before it can secure the throne of the first human shield.

"Washington is also aware of the capabilities of the Rhine Army." Donald agreed very much. "At this critical moment in the Vietnam War, Britain's friendship is extremely important."

"Mr. Ambassador, you are guilty of saying that. The U.S. military should also play a role. The officers of the Rhine Army know that once they go to war, they will face five times their own armor strength. The internal assessment is to defend for three days, not what the ambassador said. British friendship. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from misjudging, we still recommend that NATO announce the exercise plan. It is best not to conduct exercises with the Warsaw Pact at the same time, and it is easy to misfire.”

Alan Wilson spoke in a nonchalant manner. This is not because he is talking nonsense. It is the result of the Rhine Army's own judgment. The entire British army stationed in Germany is less than 6 people. It can last for three days because of its infinite love for the free world. Loyalty has made a judgment, and facing an enemy five times his own, what else do he want?

Once there is a fight, expect the UK to come across the sea to help within three days?First of all, let’s not talk about whether Britain can do it, it’s useless to do it. The base camp of the British Army is not in London at all, but in Germany.

Alan Wilson estimated that after receiving the exercise order, the officers and soldiers of the Rhine Army at all levels were cursing their mothers, choosing to demonstrate against the Warsaw Pact at this time, what if there was a fight?

But in order to demonstrate the special relationship between Britain and the United States, what can Britain do?We must shoulder the obligation of defending the free world during the time when the United States was trapped in Vietnam.You can't count on France. France has withdrawn from NATO, and it has been hooking up with the Soviet Union in recent years.

Soon there was news from Washington, expressing the courage of Britain to defend the free world at this time, moving the headquarters to the NATO Command in Brussels, announcing the schedule for the upcoming military exercise, and emphasizing that it would not target third-party countries, so as to Bielefeld is the main military exercise for the headquarters of the Northern Command.

The Northern Command is actually dominated by the Rhine Army, which is responsible for commanding the NATO troops on the northern front. The commander is the British commander of the Rhine Army and concurrently serves as the commander of the Northern Army Group.As for the Southern Army Group, it is naturally dominated by the US troops stationed in Germany.

At the stand where the Warsaw Pact countries are conducting exercises, the NATO headquarters made such a statement, which undoubtedly attracted Moscow's attention.

The first thousand and 340 chapters and five

"Commander of the Rhine Army, do you know him?" Alan Wilson grabbed his wife's little hand and fiddled with it, asking if it was a connection with the Mountbatten family.

"His son, Little Sterfield is in the Swire Group." Pamela Mountbatten didn't hesitate at all, as if all these intricate connections were in her mind, "What do you want me to do?"

"Just tell him that we have no intention of provoking the Soviet Union. It's gone." Alan Wilson muttered with a tired face, "I don't know them yet. When I encounter a weak country, I can't wait to go to war the next day. It's a ladder to make achievements. Really When it comes to Soviet heavy equipment, the army is far more dovish than a member of the House of Commons who speaks loudly."

The NATO army would not have the guts to confront the Soviet Union, but the military would not only have the courage but also a lot of courage to ask for military expenses from the Soviet Union.

"We in the UK really depend on you." Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes. Her husband didn't seem to think highly of anyone, anyway, she probably didn't expect it for a while.

It's a pity that Alan Wilson didn't hear any sarcasm, but felt that it was right, puffing out his chest like the poorest patriot in the East End of London.

"Actually, as long as the Americans support it, this exercise is quite optimistic." Pamela Mountbatten expressed optimism, knowing the importance of the United States on European issues.

"Are we confronting the Soviet Union at sea?" Allen Wilson asked with his neck tilted. "If not, what is the use of the United States? Standing together is just one more corpse."

Don't show off the Patton Kai on active duty in the United States. In his eyes, the U.S. Army is not as reliable as the British Army. As for the reliable British Army, the Rhine Army can support it for three days anyway, and the garrison can also play a supporting role. The key is whether the Federal Republic of Germany can do it.

Alan Wilson hopes that the German army will do it. This time the military exercise is mainly to see if the German army can play the role of cannon fodder... er, the mainstay.

As for the scale of NATO's military exercises, they cannot be compared with the Warsaw Pact. Although he once led a large-scale military exercise in the Arab world a few years ago, if it satisfies many visual animals in Europe, then It is really provoking the Warsaw Pact at this juncture. It is considered a big move to mobilize 10 people for NATO's military exercises.

In the next two days, the British Ministry of Defense often received inquiries from troops in West Berlin. This is understandable. The area in West Berlin was surrounded by the enemy, and there was a strategic misjudgment. It really happened in the blink of an eye.Makins appeased the local British army with normal military exercises, and then complained like Alan Wilson, "I am very suspicious now, and it will really fight NATO's combat effectiveness."

"Isn't it better than an American soldier who only knows how to go to the woods with female soldiers?" Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "It's normal. There is no risk of bullying the third world. Who wants the real doomsday to come? The first to die is not the frontline. Troops? We did not hide our intentions, and we also hope that the Soviet Union will not misjudge."

Chairman Lubyanka's office in Moscow, when he heard a knock on the door, Andropov said please come in, and then a major officer in military uniform walked in, "Chairman."

"Alekseev, are you back from Warsaw?" Andropov nodded and said, "Sit down, I have something to report."

"Looking at the current situation, pressure may not be effective. We must simply deal with the upper echelons of Poland, otherwise they don't know how powerful they are. I don't quite understand why they haven't done it for so long. The country shouldn't be ignorant of Poland's Importance, the place where the Warsaw Pact was signed, and it would be an insult to the Soviet Union if Poland turned away from scientific socialism."

"The Kremlin should try not to use military means, and hope that the Poles can understand our concern. By the way, your mother, Comrade Fortseva, thinks so too." Andropov smiled and said , "Of course this may also have something to do with your employment in the Warsaw embassy."

"Mother's opinion may not be right." Alekseev couldn't help muttering softly when he heard the words, "From my point of view on the Poles, they may not understand our kindness. Those people from the Polish government-in-exile They should all be killed, I can clearly feel that they still have influence, that they are an unstable factor in Poland, and they may have hooked up with the Americans long ago."

As expected of an excellent student, if Alan Wilson were here, he would definitely praise this young man who had met more than once, and of course he would charge US dollars.Or did he personally plan it with the Americans, the significance of Poland to the Warsaw Pact, as far as the Soviets know?Can't see the free world as the opponent?

He still thinks that it would be better for the Soviet Union to attack Poland hard, and the theory of rights and sovereignty should emerge, otherwise a certain big country may not be able to be a rebel.Please forgive me for being so direct, but in fact, this is the case in the eyes of the United States. I gave you a hand, otherwise you would have been cleaned up by the Soviet Union.

The emergence of the theory of limited sovereignty can also allow the free world to criticize the Soviet Union. Although the European countries where the US military is stationed have no sovereignty, the free world can pretend to have such a mechanism. Electoral countries naturally have such a mechanism. People who don’t like it can Find a way to get him out of power in the form of a scandal, and the more serious ones can be assassinated.

Unlike countries under the Soviet system, either they just work as followers with peace of mind, or they just fight against the Soviet Union. This has always been a problem of the Soviet bloc.Not to mention anything else, Yugoslavia, which has always listened to the tune but not propaganda, and Romania, which has been bickering with the Soviet Union, have made the Soviet Union very embarrassed, let alone a certain big country.

If Poland looks at a few examples and thinks that you can do what you want, it will completely destroy the geopolitical structure of the Soviet Union.

In terms of importance, we must start with Poland. Poland is far more important than Czechoslovakia, and it cannot be compared in terms of land area or population.

If something can be done in Poland, no matter what the final result is, Moscow can be in a hurry. This is a profitable business.And this is more worthwhile than the United States, which was disgraced by the North Vietnamese spring offensive.

This problem is being discussed in the Kremlin at this time. It has to be said that before Brezhnev's stroke, he was worthy of the evaluation of the prime of life, not as sluggish as he was later.

But at this time, as the No. [-] figure in the Soviet Union, his iconic thick eyebrows were tightly condensed together, and a trace of impatience flashed across his face, indicating that the most powerful figure in the Soviet Union was in a bad mood. When he was in Michas, he didn't hesitate so much.

"The beginning of economic reforms has led to all this happening now." Suslov couldn't continue to watch Brezhnev remain silent, and said, "The restoration of the Polish bourgeoisie must be terminated immediately. Things that go against the overall interests of Poland cannot be allowed to happen. We are still soft on those who were in the Polish government-in-exile. We did not expect that they have maintained their influence and their existence has led to the instability of Poland."

In fact, at that time, the Soviet Union dealt with government personnel in exile who returned to Poland, but it was impossible to do anything without leaving traces.

With Khrushchev's coming to power, the social environment became looser, and these members of the government-in-exile who returned to Poland began to play their true qualities as five people and six people.

Although these people are not as many as when they first came back, they have a halo, and the Polish government is not good at doing anything to these people.

"Comrade Kosygin's reforms are worthy of recognition." At this time, Brezhnev was not as conservative as he was in the 70s, and he was still willing to say a few words for Kosygin's reforms. Solve it, this year’s problem will definitely not become next year’s problem, but it’s not the best time to wait for an opportunity, not right now.”

"Opportunity?" Suslov frowned. "Can the opportunity be obtained by doing nothing? We have to solve the problem, not avoid it."

"Of course it is not to evade the problem. As for Lubyanka, Comrade Andropov has received intelligence from the British side. Regarding the recent situation in France, the British intelligence department has come up with a pessimistic argument. They have discovered Trotsky in France. We are of course not the same people as the Trotskyists, but the Americans and the British don’t see it that way. They see it as a threat. This thing can be manipulated.”

Brezhnev said slowly in a normal tone, "When Britain and the United States are both attracted by France, we are making detailed plans to solve the problem and turn it into a fait accompli when the enemy cannot react. , that’s it.”

Facing Suslov's tough attitude, Brezhnev still showed his mature and prudent side. Although it is very happy to start military operations directly, how to act is also a problem.

Once the action starts, the Soviet Union will definitely be accused by other countries. As the number one figure in the Soviet Union, he must prepare for such accusations. Other countries will accuse him of Brezhnev, not the gray cardinal in front of him.
