Chapter 1084 Son’s Future

Haha, a burst of laughter erupted in the conference room. The current complicated relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States has caused British diplomats to ridicule the United States, especially when this kind of thing happens.

The British have never lacked the courage to laugh at others, and the United States is also in this category.

"The Italians on our side." A joke from the North African battlefield reappeared in the mouths of British diplomats.

"It's strange, how could the United States fail to intervene in such a small country?" Dixon said in confusion. "In this case, we are really worried about the American troops stationed in Europe. The Soviet Union is much more difficult to deal with than Cuba."

"It's not that serious." Alan Wilson opened his mouth to stop the taunting.

He just took the opportunity to laugh at the United States, not really thinking that the United States is not good.

It may not be as deterrent as the Soviet Union in military terms, but if you think that the United States is a paper tiger because of this, that is not an objective understanding. If the United States is a paper tiger, wouldn't the Soviet Union be much stronger if it stood side by side?

Could it be that the real hidden rulers of this era are Britain and France? Even the citizens of Britain and France probably don't believe this.

It's just that Cuba happens to be outside the comfort zone of the US military, but the UK is not. The UK is within the comfort zone of the US in all aspects. The US cannot deal with other countries. If it wants to do something to the UK, the UK will suffer the most.

What is the comfort zone? It means matching the best opponent. The most obvious example is the war between Germany and France during World War II.

Although the French army is no worse than the German army in terms of hardware, its tactical thinking is an era behind. When the two countries collide, the French army can show off its elegance as Europe's number one army in a local position, but overall its throat is cut instantly by the German army.

This is the current relationship between Britain and the United States. The most powerful Royal Navy is just a reduced-scale U.S. Navy. In fact, we are in the comfort zone of the United States.

You have to fall behind in a position where you can be firmly grasped. It won't work if you fall behind too far. If you lag too far behind, your opponents will also be separated from the way they are best at fighting. This is why some seemingly weak places can cause trouble for powerful countries.

The Qing army in the Opium War and the subcontinental army in British colonial India were in the comfort zone of the British army a hundred years ago. These armies were not simply cold weapon armies. On the contrary, they were also decent armies in the local area, but the skills of these armies were It was the same as the British army. They ordered fifty, and the British army ordered a hundred. The result was that the British army was no stranger to the enemy's tactics, and they took it steadily without any effort.

And those places that are too far behind and don’t have any skills at all,

On the contrary, it will cause huge trouble for the UK. For example, the Zulu people in Africa have no skills at all, and the British army is also completely unfamiliar with this kind of combat. If they are not careful, they will overturn.

What's the solution? Let the Indians become the support of the British to deal with these enemies who have no skills at all.

If Alan Wilson had been in the position he is today sixty or seventy years ago, he would have formulated a policy when carving up Africa and hired Qing troops to go to Africa to deal with the native Africans. These enemies who had not modernized at all happened to be in the Qing Dynasty. The next level of the army, that is to say, it is in the comfort zone of the Qing army.

The original intention was naturally to clarify the true level of the African natives and ask the Qing army to clear the area. It was not like they had not done this before in Zhungeer.

This is the reason why the Qing army conquered East Asia before the British army arrived, but was beaten by the British army.

Specific to the current Bay of Pigs incident, the United States is disgraced, and the United Kingdom is laughing at it. Don't really think that the United States is strong in foreign affairs. It may be true for the third world, but it is not the case for European countries at all.

But ridicule is harmless. Alan Wilson actually expressed Britain's concerns about the failure of the Bay of Pigs incident through the ambassador to the United States. Although he did not say it explicitly, he did mention the Korean War in passing, saying that the US military should not always get involved. Otherwise, the Soviet Union would not be able to be frightened by this kind of action that reveals its true colors.

In fact, his speaking out at this time is somewhat inconsistent with the position of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, because the Soviet delegation will arrive in London tomorrow for a five-day visit after completing its trip to Europe. , this visit to Europe will come to an end, and the UK is the last stop.

While the Kremlin was still criticizing the U.S. invasion of Cuba, a Soviet delegation arrived in London, and Furtseva appeared in carefully selected clothes for her recently exercised body and exquisite makeup. London.

"She still values ​​me very much!" Alan Wilson could tell at a glance the cultural czar's careful preparation. He already had sufficient experience in dealing with women of this age group. You can tell whether a woman works out regularly from her face.

Women who regularly exercise will have strong lines on their faces, but compared with aging, the lack of femininity can only be regarded as a minor flaw.

They shook hands with each other in a serious manner, and the main welcome ceremony focused on Gagarin, the first human being to ascend to heaven.

Among the mainstream countries in the world, Gagarin is now indeed a hero for all mankind. When he walked out of the airport, people in London were also flocking to see the first man in space.

In the final itinerary, Gagarin will also go to Buckingham Palace, where he will be personally hosted by Queen Elizabeth to pay high respect to this hero of all mankind who has shown the highest realm in the UK. Of course that was the final arrangement.

Gagarin rode in a convertible and was warmly welcomed by British citizens wherever he went. Many people, even women, climbed up to the roof hoping to see clearly what the first person to escape the earth's gravity looked like.

On the first day of the itinerary, at the strong request of the Soviet Union, Gagarin will lay a bouquet of flowers at Marx's grave.

Macmillan also had to go against his will and said that Marx was a great man and his influence was so far-reaching.

Six hundred reporters flocked to Earls Palace where Gagarin was being interviewed, which shows how popular the first man in space is in the UK.

"I didn't expect that." Macmillan, who was temporarily in a stable position, was greatly surprised. He had never expected that Britain would welcome a Soviet person so much.

"Who made me the real first person in space?" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "How about we spread some rumors... Well, within a reasonable range of doubts, saying that the Soviet Union's astronauts were fake. To be fair, this method is more suitable. The social environment in the United States, where there are many ignorant people, may not be suitable for the UK."

MacMillan, whose mother is American, felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but it was difficult to say anything, "It's better not to do that."

What is the majesty of a father? Alan Wilson believes that the problem is that he has just finished ridiculing the Americans, but because of Gagarin and the Soviet delegation's visit to the UK, the Americans still expressed concerns about the UK, emphasizing that the special relationship between the UK and the US has occasionally had twists and turns, but has always been stable.

It is generally the UK that emphasizes the special relationship between the UK and the US most of the time. Gagarin's visit this time actually made the US take the initiative to mention the special relationship between the UK and the US. This is really rare.

Alan Wilson was in a good mood, and his call back confirmed that the special relationship between Britain and the United States was unbreakable. This is just a normal visit.

In the evening, he excitedly went to the hotel arranged by himself to share the joy with the cultural tsar. Obviously, Fortseva was also waiting for him. Their identities meant that they would not meet often, and every meeting was worth cherishing.

"Without your decisive actions by the Soviet Union in the Congo, it would be really difficult for us." Alan Wilson hugged the body of the cultural tsar, looking like he wanted to take a beating. "But when it comes to Iran, Britain still has to bear the consequences." We have put a lot of pressure on us. If we withdraw, the next step for the United States will be you."

Alan Wilson still didn't talk much about the latest Cuban issue. He still had reservations. It was more in the interests of the UK that the Cuban Missile Crisis still occurred. At least the British Foreign Office could mediate.

"Are you very proud?" Fortseva gave Ellen Wilson a slight slap. "You forgot that you are just a civil servant, not the prime minister."

"You only have to choose once every few years. What's there to be proud of? Power lasts forever." Alan Wilson was unmoved, holding on to the fullness of the cultural czar without letting go, and suddenly bent down and whispered.

"No!" Fortseva flatly refused. She could not accept a man's request and she had her own bottom line.

"Ekaterina, just this once." Alan Wilson came over and begged in a low voice. The cultural tsar refused to agree to anything he said and was very resolute. In the end, Alan Wilson had no choice but to say, "Do you know that within the Soviet Union? How many spies are there? In your intelligence system, your status is not low."

"One may be ready to escape, while the other is hidden deeper. If I don't tell you, the KGB won't be able to find out who it is without a year and a half. This will be discovered in the hands of any counterintelligence officer , is a huge credit, of course you are not an intelligence officer, so you are definitely not interested."

When Fortseva heard this, hesitation appeared on her face. She would not care about the credit, but her son would graduate soon. She didn't want her son to work in the KGB, but what could she do if he wanted to? What if my son had a share of this credit?

"Just once!" Fortseva hypnotized herself in her mind. This was all a sacrifice made for the sake of her children, and she finally compromised.

"No problem! Will I hurt you? I won't hurt any woman, I will only take extra care." Alan Wilson agreed, as long as there is a first time, there will be countless times.

Fortseva took a look at the man who took advantage of him and acted like a good boy, and she thought it was for her son's future. Anyway, she had already allowed the other man to get so much from her, and it was not short of the final bottom line.

The cultural czar, who only wanted to pave the way for his son, was willing to risk everything this time, as long as what the man said was true.

"You are not a cadre of the intelligence department, why are you so concerned about this kind of thing?" Alan Wilson looked sideways at Fortseva.
