Chapter 113 Antarctic Treaty
"Deputy Secretary of State, what?" Such a scene caused a commotion on the US representative's side.
"It's okay, we will convince the British. Even making a fuss will not change the result." Smith signaled to be calm and looked at the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko. Why are you anxious? It is the Soviets who should be anxious.
"This is for the sake of world peace and leaving a pure land for the earth." Gromyko sounded businesslike. Although he was angry, he did not show it. At this time, he did not forget to drag the United States into the water. "This is the Soviet Union." The result of joint discussions with the United States is also the view of the vast majority of countries in the world, although many countries did not participate in this Antarctic Conference."
"This is power politics." Alan Wilson put the corn cob on the table and looked indignant, just like Czechoslovakia at the Munich Conference, Poland at the Tehran Conference, and China at the Paris Peace Conference.
After all, he has been taught by many movie queens through words and deeds, and his performance of being determined to kill a thief but unable to save him is quite good.
The reason why this scene was performed at the venue was just in the hope that the United States could obtain concessions on the Iran issue. However, this possibility was extremely slim. The rebellious son had grown up and was ready to open the copy of Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety.
"The meeting is temporarily adjourned. We believe we can come up with a result that is acceptable to all parties." U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Smith spoke at this time, unwilling to fall out with the British Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs in public.
The British Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has such a saying, but Whitehall generally does not recognize this title. I still prefer the title of Standing Secretary, while Deputy Minister is generally the term used in other countries.
Smith feels that it may still take a few days to convince the British to understand who has the final say in this world. At that time, Secretary of State Dulles will be notified to come to Paris to sign the contract.
As for the farce of raising corn cobs in the venue, although Smith was happy to see this scene from a personal perspective, in order to ensure the solemn atmosphere of the diplomatic meeting, he still felt that it should not be publicized. This was not conducive to the relaxation of the atmosphere between the United States and the Soviet Union. Khrushchev It has only been less than two months since I visited the United States. Even if I fall out, it would be too soon.
After the meeting, US Deputy Secretary of State Smith sent someone to invite Alan Wilson. The visitor first expressed his understanding of Britain's anger, and then explained that the two countries should talk privately.
This invitation was actually not unexpected. Alan Wilson was very experienced in back-room operations, and he was the one who sold Poland.
"Why should the United States side with the Soviet Union when it comes to the sovereignty of Antarctica?" When they met, Alan Wilson expressed the United States' indignation at the betrayal of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. He still had to do what he had to do. Life is like a drama and it all depends on acting.
Of course, this is because the United States has no reason to claim sovereignty over Antarctica, so it cannot allow other countries to take advantage.
The truth is this, but Smith can't say that. It's about peace and protecting the environment. He said a bunch of clichés, and then said directly, "The United Kingdom should be on the same position as the United States, otherwise it may affect the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States."
"Your Excellency is threatening the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson asked with a long face upon hearing this, "Because of an ice field?"
"Sir Wilson, there are some things that you don't have to adopt the same attitude just because the two countries are allies." Smith shrugged absently, "It's like the Soviets said, so many countries in the world have nothing to do with you. The country’s occupation of Antarctica will definitely not be recognized. If this issue is discussed at the United Nations General Assembly, it will be very embarrassing for you, right? We put the Antarctic Conference in Paris to preserve the influence of Britain and France. I hope Britain and France can understand Washington’s woes.”
"Then do I still have to thank the United States?" Alan Wilson sneered, "Otherwise Britain will be embarrassed in the United Nations."
What does it mean to conjure a card out of thin air and hold it in your hand? I didn't expect that I could learn it in my previous life, and that I could still encounter it in another country in this life. This traitor in the United States is really better than his master.
“Sir Wilson, I still suggest that London should think carefully about this.
Smith said lightly, "How much benefit can Britain actually get?" Almost not. The UK is nothing more than safeguarding the interests of the two countries in the Commonwealth, Australia and New Zealand. The attitudes of these two countries are actually insignificant. "
Smith is telling the truth. Australia and New Zealand, which are far away from the hot spots in the world today, do not necessarily have a higher presence than Latin America. The current main interests of the United States are still in Eurasia.
"I will inform the ministers and the Prime Minister of the attitude of the United States." Alan Wilson looked at Smith with a mixture of humiliation and unwillingness, and his tone was unprecedentedly heavy, "Iran issue?"
"Let's finish the Antarctic meeting first, and then talk about the Iranian issue. Thank you Sir Wilson for conveying it. The special relationship between Britain and the United States is unbreakable." Smith looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching the British Deputy Foreign Minister get up and leave, and then looked at his assistant , "Look, it's actually not difficult to communicate with the UK."
"I'll give you a hard slap sooner or later to let you know that your father's sword is still young." Alan Wilson, who was driving to the British Embassy in a car, made a face, but he couldn't say how humiliating he felt.
He had long been prepared for the Antarctic meeting to be fruitless and to perform an imitation show, just for Australia to see. As for the Iran issue, it will not be as simple as Smith said. If sanctions continue, the United States will look to the United Kingdom for help.
He just walked away, but he just didn't think about how to set a price and see how long the United States can hold on to Iran.
After conveying the attitude of the United States to London, Alan Wilson decided to go to Woodpecker Pictures to relax. At this time, he needed the comfort of the movie queens to relieve his mood of pretending to be affected by the failure of diplomacy.
"This Antarctic meeting and the Iran issue can test the deep-seated attitude of the United States towards the United Kingdom. If it succeeds, even if our interests are taken away by the United States, we can adjust our diplomatic strategies and deal with it carefully."
While the latest progress of the Antarctic Conference was being discussed in London, Alan Wilson was discussing with Anna, the little dragoon who secretly came to Paris, about developing the friendship that has been the blood of Aryans since ancient times.
"If we really can't hold on, it's time for the Hellman family to enter the Persian Gulf and get a piece of Iran's oil share." Alan Wilson, with his hands on Dragoon's slender waist, encouraged the development of the Hellman family. Make suggestions.
"Don't think that I will thank you, you are also thinking about your son." Anna held the man's face and pressed it on her chest, laughing, "Forget it, I will make you unable to breathe today."
Philosophical thought does not hinder the appreciation of art, and a thinker does not inhibit the expression of emotions; he can distinguish between imagination and fantasy.
For example, now he criticizes ideas but appreciates style; he curses political intrigues but praises all details; he hates politicians but loves their dialogues.
Adhering to the principle of being submissive to the United States and the Soviet Union and attacking the Third World, the way to adjust his mood was very simple, so he visited the slums of Paris to increase his happiness. He could even Charity on a personal level, just like when he saved French women on the streets of Paris many years ago.
There is only one house on the ground floor. Close to the inner wall, there is a large bed without a curtain, and a kneading vat is placed by the window. A piece of broken glass is made of a sun pattern cut out of blue paper and glued together.
In the corner behind the door, under the stone slab of the laundry area, were some half-hobnailed boots with bright nails. Next to them was a bottle filled with oil, with a feather stuck in the neck of the bottle; The Almanac of Matthew lay on the dusty mantelpiece among the flints, candle stubs, and bits of tinder.
Finally, the only thing that seemed superfluous in the room was a portrait of a goddess of honor playing a trumpet, which was of course cut out of some perfume advertisement and nailed to the wall with six boot nails.
"What an imperialist bureaucrat." Anna followed Alan Wilson while wandering around, watching this man doing good deeds as if giving alms, and felt in her heart that Gazner's education was actually a lot of the reality of this world.
The river flows quietly, looking fast and cool; slender aquatic plants lie in patches in the water, floating with the water, like green hair that has not been combed, and the reflections of the two people can be vaguely seen. .
"There are two sides to the matter. We are not as evil as you say, and the Soviet Union is not as great as it claims. We are all living on this earth, why do you have to act like you are saving the world? It's really annoying."
After doing a good deed, Alan Wilson was in a much better mood. Before he went out to hang out, London had already called back and commended him for his efforts in safeguarding British interests. Now that he had gained goodwill in front of Australia and New Zealand.
Anna looked at Alan Wilson angrily, pinched her waist with her hands and said, "Don't you have any ideals?"
"I became a spy when I had ideals. I have never had any ideals in my life. I have a family and plan to be a civil servant for the rest of my life." Alan Wilson boasted proudly, "It seems that I have protected you very well. You should go more often." Get a glimpse of the real world.”
Anna curled her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I have seen it a long time ago, and I gave birth to two children for a domineering occupation force. I was only old at that time, and you could do it."
Allen's part is over, and the final outcome will be left to US Secretary of State Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Macmillan. At the end of November, the two arrived in Paris for face-to-face negotiations, and then on December 1, The Antarctic Treaty was adopted, in which Article 4 of the Antarctic Treaty clarified the issue of sovereignty, and any state party renounced its previously proposed rights or claims to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica.
When the news came, the whole of Australia was shocked and disappointed. They couldn't understand how this result could occur.
