Chapter 1061 The United States in the General Election
The six countries participating in the Six-Party Talks are divided into at least four camps. The French are busy with the layout of Africa and are completely pulled over by the United Kingdom, while Germany is pulled over by the United States.
As for the Soviet Union, its appearance here is purely to watch the dog-eating-dog scene within imperialism.
The last India, although it was brought in by the British through diplomatic means, India also has its own ambitions, which shows that India and several big countries can sit on an equal footing and support it with dignity and dignity.
Therefore, during the formal negotiations, the French on the British and French sides echoed Alan Wilson from time to time, but compared to the Germans who acted as the yes-men of the United States, their share was still quite sufficient.
The Soviets did not express much, and their specific position could not be discerned. Representing India in Basra was Lal Shastri.
As Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Nehru's diplomatic work was basically Nehru's responsibility. Those sent by other countries were the number two figures in diplomacy, and Nehru could not come in person.
At least in the eyes of India, this time the Six-Party Talks is a broad stage, so it cannot send unknown people here.
Lal Shastri, as an important figure supporting Nehru's line, came to Basra instead of Nehru.
Britain and France are on the same side, virtue is on the same side, the Soviet Union seems to be staying out of the matter, and India is taking the opportunity to try to expand its influence. Lal Shastri spoke on behalf of Nehru about India's view on the Iranian oil crisis, "India's view is Consistently, on the Iranian issue, several basic principles should be established, including mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and reciprocity, and peaceful coexistence."
"Your British colony seems to have grown up now." French representative Pierre glanced around Lal Chastri and taunted Alan Wilson next to him, "I don't know Sir Wilson. , will you feel relieved to see this scene?"
"I am very pleased that Algeria is still an integral part of France. The decisiveness of the French has opened our eyes. They abandoned nearly 10 million square kilometers of land in less than a year. Should this be included in the Guinness World Records? Admission? Mr. Pierre, Sir Beaver and I also have a relationship. As long as we say hello, it won't be a problem."
Alan Wilson smiled and responded to the French who ridiculed him, "Now that the United States and the Soviet Union are obviously trying to push us off the center of the world stage, it is better not to undermine each other at this time."
"I agree." Pierre raised his eyebrows and his face returned to calmness, listening to Lal Shastri continue to talk nonsense.
Finally, when Lal Shastri finished narrating India’s views,
Alan Wilson knocked on the table and said, "Gentlemen, it is very late today. I suggest that the meeting be adjourned temporarily."
The subsequent Six-Party Talks on Iran only lasted eight years, so what's the rush? Alan Wilson is in no rush anyway.
After the meeting, Alan Wilson walked out of the meeting without delay. No result was the best result. He came to Basra only to express that Britain was willing to negotiate, but did not say that the negotiation must produce a result.
Returning to the Windsor Castle Hotel, Vivien Leigh, who was wearing a nightgown, had already greeted him and handed the man a change of clothes to replace the Arab robe he was wearing. "The bath water is put, you can take a dip."
"It has to be my Vivian." Alan Wilson took off his turban, had a verbal dispute with the British British Bora, and said to himself with a look of aftertaste, "But it's a bit boring to hang out alone, isn't it?"
Hearing what Alan Wilson meant, Vivien Leigh had no choice but to take off her nightgown, "I really can't do anything to you."
In the relationship between the two, Da Yingbao must be the one who accommodates too much. The most straightforward example is Alan Wilson's debt problem. Because of the silver speculation, Alan Wilson, who is usually aloof, is actually a A person who has huge debts and may go bankrupt at any time.
"As long as you're good." Vivien Leigh leaned on the man and whispered, "The industry seems to be picking up now, and Taylor's salary has reached a million dollars. This is something I couldn't even imagine before."
"There is only one Cleopatra in my eyes, only you, Vivian. I don't care who her replacement is." Behind her, he gently stroked Vivien Leigh's back, and Ellen Wilson said, "There is only one sun in my heart, Vivien Leigh."
"Elizabeth Taylor is almost as popular now as she was back then." Vivien Leigh lamented, "Some people did say that she would replace me. Wouldn't this come true with this movie?"
"The world is constantly changing. Let's wait and see in two years." Alan Wilson laughed. Wasn't Cleopatra a project that almost bankrupted 20th Century Fox? The investment cost was nearly 50 million US dollars, and the box office was less than the cost. half of.
This concept is equivalent to one-third of the Forrester-class aircraft carrier and half of the heavy-duty aircraft carrier that the UK is building.
The probability of this kind of cost overturn is too high. The cost of building a Ford-class aircraft carrier in the 21st century is US$15 billion. Would anyone invest US$5 billion in making a movie? There simply cannot be such investors.
When Twentieth Century Fox overturns, it will be time for United Artists to annex Twentieth Century Fox.
When the Six-Party Talks were held, the U.S. election had entered a heated stage, and television debates were used for the first time in the general election. Kennedy, representing the Democratic Party, and Nixon, representing the Republican Party, appeared together in the eyes of American voters.
During the final debate, Nixon was considered poor on television because he did not have Kennedy on camera. Although he was a better debater than Kennedy, at least radio audiences thought he was as good as Kennedy in debates, and he had more policy knowledge and good broadcast eloquence.
During the debate, Nixon denounced his Democratic opponent's spending spree, causing taxpayers to complain that his platform would cost billions of dollars.
Kennedy retorted, accusing the vice president of making empty promises when it came to raising wages by at least one dollar an hour, expanding school infrastructure, and providing medical benefits for the elderly.
The images of the two people entered thousands of households through television and were known to citizens in the general election. Judging from the current support rate, Kennedy and Nixon are evenly matched, and no one will know the final result until the day of voting.
Although he was in Basra, Alan Wilson was also paying attention to the U.S. election. He had been very happy recently. Originally, he was disgusted when he saw Smith again, but now it happened to coincide with the election. The U.S. Deputy Secretary of State was obviously in low spirits and came to see him. He honed his diplomatic skills.
"Alan, which party in the United States do you think will win?" John, the High Commissioner to the Persian Gulf, accompanied Alan Wilson to the airport. On the one hand, he said goodbye to Richard, the High Commissioner of Malaya.
Richard will return to Kuala Lumpur to convene a meeting of rulers to build ideological consensus, emphasize the different divisions of labor between Malaya and the British mainland, and jointly stabilize the pound area.
As for another thing, the female president of the Mountbatten Group came to end her trip to Africa. She came to see the humble social artifacts, and then went to Australia with the ancient rags collected by the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"How do I know, with the support rate so close, anything can happen." Alan Wilson shrugged, watching the Comet passenger plane land, and his body was ready for war, welcoming the female president of the Mountbatten Group to loyal Basra.
Just because Kennedy won in history, we cannot think that he can win this time. In fact, the Republican Party always believed that the 1960 election was due to fraud by the Democratic Party. Until the Watergate incident, Nixon was still aggrieved, saying that what he did was leftover from Kennedy. Down.
At this moment, Pamela Mountbatten got off her special plane and walked towards her husband with a smile on her face.
"You have become an Arab again." Pamela Mountbatten teased as she reached out and tugged on her husband's headscarf.
"Sunscreen!" Alan Wilson replied with a smile and asked, "Have you reached an agreement with the people at De Beers?"
"It's all settled!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded and said happily, "Without your help, I mean your suggestions, it would never have gone so smoothly."
John stepped back as if he hadn't heard anything. He didn't hear anything about help.
"That's good!" Alan Wilson nodded, and then took his wife's arm. There was some premium in the integrated aviation industry, in order to protect the health of the capital chain of the Mountbatten Group, which had always had problems.
As a completely neutral bystander, he directed his wife to talk to De Beers using the resources of the Gold Coast and the Great Lakes region.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this operation is suspected of being a white wolf, because it did share the profits of De Beers without spending a pound, forming a cartel monopoly alliance. But there is a saying that goes well, what is most expensive in the 20th century is talent!
Since this condition exists and Pamela Mountbatten has the capital, it will naturally be possible.
As the two walked out of the airport arm in arm, Pamela Mountbatten asked, "How was your discussion? Do you need any help?"
"I'm talking to the chiefs about the military-civilian conversion project to see if we can package up a few aircraft carriers." Alan Wilson doesn't pay much attention to the six-party talks. The British idea is to delay time and there are no mysterious tricks.
But if the final result is not ideal, we have to consider how to eat two fish. There are not many British aircraft carriers left in World War II, and this time he plans to package them all up and sell them.
Once Iran's share cannot be maintained, the previous share of the Persian Gulf will be invalidated, and there will no longer be a 50-50 split.
If this is the case, Alan Wilson will be the first to abrogate the 50-50 split treaty, but the pro-British countries in the Persian Gulf must make concessions on arms sales and buy all the small aircraft carriers that Britain wants to package.
"You are a professional in this matter, and I will listen to you." Pamela Mountbatten said with a sweet look on her face, "The outcome of the talks is still unknown. Maybe you will finally change the previous share-sharing contract, and several countries will thank you. "
"Of course, I have done this kind of thing so many times in the dark." Alan Wilson looked calm and felt that he deserved it.
