Chapter 1004 All Have a Bright Future

The entire debate was captured on electronic cameras, and Alan Wilson knew what to expect.

When the United States plays it, it will turn up the volume of Nixon's voice and reduce the volume of Khrushchev's words. This will cause Nixon to defend the free world and Khrushchev to be suppressed and unable to move.

The Soviet Union's handling method was relatively simple. When Nixon did not exist, it only reported passages in which Khrushchev angrily criticized US imperialism.

So without the presence of a third party in history, the UK's handling of the incident is clear. As the conscience of the free world, the UK must uphold the principle of neutrality and tell the world the objective facts.

Emphasizing the mediation of Foreign Secretary Macmillan, the United States and the Soviet Union were at war with each other. Fortunately, Great Britain was at the center to mediate.

In this way, the three countries of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union can win. You lead your second world, and I lead my first world, and each of us has a bright future.

Alan Wilson believes that this may be able to establish Britain's authority in the field of journalism and get very awesome benefits.

He doesn't know if a kitchen in the United States that costs $14,000 can really be afforded by all Americans. Anyway, this price is unaffordable in the United Kingdom, which is currently close to the per capita income of the United States. It is absolutely not possible to buy only a kitchen with four years of income. A house is more than just a kitchen.

The kitchen debate was over. After a debate, no one could convince anyone. After leaving the expo, the British and American delegations returned to the Ukraine Hotel. Nixon did not have enough time. After completing the task of presiding over the opening of the American Exposition this time, he was ready to leave. Return home.

"The Soviets are more difficult to deal with than I thought." Nixon was still frightened, thinking back on whether his response was appropriate. Naturally, Nixon, who aspired to become the president of the United States, could not take this debate lightly.

This mentality cannot be hidden from Alan Wilson, otherwise what would this die-hard anti-Soviet element be doing in Moscow? Other than to come here to create a character with a sense of presence. It's a pity that Kennedy's pretty face was still cheap.

"Vice President Nixon, you defended the concept of the free world admirably and did not fall into the Soviet rhetoric trap." Alan Wilson started the flattering mode and pointed out the role of the United Kingdom, "It is to doubt the Soviet Union's dark actions. We just came here specifically, otherwise the Soviet Union would conspire on this occasion."

"The Soviets are indeed capable of conspiracy, but the electronic cameras in the field can't lie." Nixon chuckled and boasted about the latest achievements of the United States, "Machines can't lie."

"I know." Alan Wilson nodded. Since he knew, then Fortseva knew.

Of course, in order to maintain the special relationship between Britain and the United States, it was inappropriate for Nixon to know about this.

Alan Wilson was not selfishly thinking about himself, but thinking about Nixon. A man aspiring to the presidency might be exploited by his rivals if he showed unreliable performance on such an important occasion.

As a gentleman, Alan Wilson felt it was his duty to avoid this embarrassment for Nixon, not all for his own sake.

Macmillan knew that Nixon was about to return to the United States, so he left after a few pleasantries without disturbing Nixon's rest.

However, matters on the British side still need to be explained, such as how to highlight the British role in this debate, and at the same time show an independent third-party perspective to avoid the image of fully agreeing with the United States.

Alan Wilson had already guessed it and asked Wick to greet the country immediately through the embassy in Moscow.

"The Soviet Union may not know the huge wealth that the United States has accumulated now." Macmillan said with some emotion.

"Maybe you know, after all, the Soviet Union is a country twice the size of the United States and almost the same area as the entire North America." Alan Wilson sighed. Although most of the territory of the Soviet Union is the tundra, farming cannot be done in the tundra. The representative cannot do anything else. Resources have nothing to do with whether it is a tundra or not. The land in Australia is only slightly more barren than the Sahara Desert. How can mining be successful?

"Alan, it seems that you also have a certain understanding of the Soviet Union.

Macmillan chuckled, "It's probably the wishful pro-Soviet thoughts of those Labor Party ministers that have influenced you." "

"Civil servants uphold the principle of non-intervention in partisan affairs and will not be affected by such remarks." Alan Wilson denied it. "Dear Minister, the political differences between the Conservative Party and the Labor Party have nothing to do with us public servants."

"I am not questioning the political neutrality of Whitehall." Macmillan immediately said that Alan Wilson had misunderstood and that he was not doubting the loyalty of the permanent secretary.

In fact, even if it is doubtful, Alan Wilson has lived under both political systems.

Of course, he has never seen a complete planned economy. In essence, China can only be considered a planned economy during the five years when it was a consultant to the Soviet Union. Will it be in the future? A planned economy on paper.

In his opinion, both systems have their own pros and cons. The Soviet economic system relied on indicators, and some plans could not be calculated. For example, how many sanitary napkins did Soviet women need? The British gentleman didn't know why he thought of this example, so it would be better to change it to another one.

Can food intake be calculated? Even if it is possible, people's needs can not only be solved by making flour at that time. What if there are other needs? Is the bread made from flour not sweet enough? How to deal with it?

Is there guaranteed to be enough bread for each recipe? This will inevitably cause a huge waste. On the one hand, it opens up the supply because there are not many options, which will cause all the supplied food to be emptied, and the emptied food may not actually be eaten, and it will be used to feed livestock. possible.

It’s not like feeding cows with bread had never happened in the Soviet Union. The coexistence of waste and shortage was a problem in the Soviet economic system.

In some areas, the Soviet Union's supply can be described as massive, regardless of cost issues. The price of a set of wrench toolboxes was the same in 1959 as in 1989, and the steel stamp on the wrench directly marked the price at twelve kopecks.

Once the planned economy is wrong, there will be a lot of facilities that are not particularly necessary in construction.

Almost every city and even large town in the entire Soviet Union had supporting cinemas, trade union clubs, children's palaces and libraries, auditoriums, football fields, gymnasiums, matching schools, kindergartens, etc.

Why does Alan Wilson know these configurations? Because he saw it with his own eyes when he was a child in his previous life. The town where he lived had a permanent population of only tens of thousands, and there was a cinema with a capacity of 1,500 people.

As long as the population of the Soviet Union reached a certain number, all the above configurations were required, and there were almost no exceptions. The Soviet Union may not be able to provide housing, but the above facilities are political tasks and are much more important than housing.

As Nixon left, so would the British delegation, and Alan Wilson would spend his final days in Moscow.

Fortseva's blush has not subsided, and she has a satisfied expression on her face. This time she is very satisfied with the brave performance of the British gentleman, and does not hesitate to praise her. Her performance in the kitchen debate was praised by Khrushchev, the irreplaceable authority of the current Soviet Union. Her husband saw this, which made Fortseva willing to give Ellen Wilson a little sweetness.

"Ekaterina." Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed and took advantage of the cultural tsar's good mood to speak, "I think..."

"No." Fortseva flatly refused before Ellen Wilson could say anything. She had obviously blown it before. Even if it is a reward, this man should only give it in moderation.

"Ah?" Alan Wilson didn't know that the Cultural Czar was twisting and turning. He really had something to say and wanted Fortseva's help. "I have a big thing that requires the cooperation of the Soviet Union. Only you can help Britain. .”

Only then did Fortseva realize that she had misunderstood. Fortunately, the red tide had not receded and she could not show her embarrassment. "What's the matter? Don't expect me to betray my motherland. There is such a thing as patriotism in this world."

"Don't say anything and listen to me. Make sure that only you know about this matter. Once it is revealed, even though you are one of the most important figures in the Soviet Union, you will not be able to explain it clearly." Alan Wilson pulled the cultural tsar up and made eye contact to show the seriousness of the matter. , and then said, "The United Kingdom has a plan to overthrow the Sukarno regime, and I know that the United States also has..."

Alan Wilson explained that the Indonesian government had become a thorn in the side of the free world and would definitely try to overthrow the Sukarno regime's move to get closer to China and the Soviet Union. The United States provides financial assistance to the Indonesian military every year. The Indonesian military and Indonesian parties have opposite positions.

The names of Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Yani, Lieutenant General Panjaitan and Major General Hayono, Major General Supraputto, Major General Perman and Brigadier Sudozo, General Nasution and Suharto are all there in.

"Are you going to attack Indonesia?" Fortseva looked at Ellen Wilson blankly, as if judging the authenticity of this matter.

"Do you think we can't do it? Indonesia is an archipelago. With the naval power of us and the United States, we can't say it will definitely succeed. It would be easy to provoke a civil war." Alan Wilson said calmly.

"Don't you and the United States wear the same pants?" Fortseva still didn't believe it, even though the two of them had just done manned spaceflight that only the most intimate relationship could do.

"There is a gap in national power between the United Kingdom and the United States, which is still irreparable at present." Alan Wilson said gloomily, "The Malayan colonies must be protected by the United Kingdom. If the Soviet Union attacks, of course the United Kingdom will respond without a doubt. But if the United States puts pressure on Britain, Britain may compromise. If Indonesia becomes a Soviet-style country, Britain will have reason to stay in Malaya, and the United States will not take action against Britain to force Britain to abandon Malaya. sub-colonies. On the contrary, the United States will also help Britain."

"Sometimes, for the sake of national interests, we have to cooperate with the enemy and abandon the so-called close allies."

"You have calculated everything." Fortseva looked into Ellen Wilson's eyes and shook her head.

"This is also good for the Soviet Union. You get Indonesia, so that we all have a bright future." Alan Wilson grabbed Fortseva's hand and promised, "Ekaterina, I am also helping you."
