Chapter 1095: After One Wave, Another Wave Arises

There is no doubt that France's withdrawal of the mobilization order will have an extremely profound impact on Britain, and it is impossible for the two countries to have completely consistent interests. But on the colonial issue, they were generally unanimous.

The problem must be considered from the perspective of the worst outcome, that is, a basic premise is that Britain must retain complete control and national power above the national power of France. This cannot be limited to the comparison between France and the UK.

At the French Embassy in London, Ambassador Sevitt expressed his original intention of paying attention to the British views with a smile on his face, "On the colonial issue, France and the United Kingdom are facing pressure together and should join forces to provide support."

"It's difficult. We understand France's policy in principle, but we also have to consider the views of the Americans. The situation in Europe still needs help from the United States." Alan Wilson looked embarrassed, explaining how difficult the British diplomatic environment was. , and now they are still clinging to the Iran issue.

so! Selt's smile did not diminish, and he said inexplicably, "Actually, Sir Wilson, we judge that you are a pro-European faction of the British government. The judgment may be wrong, but the UK's words for France are also for the sake of Britain and the Iranian oil crisis. France has always firmly supported Britain during the Basra Conference, hasn’t it?”

this? Alan Wilson did not answer, with a noncommittal expression. Obviously, this set of rhetoric could not move him.

"If your wife knew, you had a mistress and an illegitimate child in Paris." Selt sighed with a look on his face.

"Are you threatening me?" Alan Wilson's expression changed and his attitude became rude.

"Even the two best actresses from Woodpecker Pictures..." Selt pointed at Alan Wilson, with a look of envy and jealousy on his face.

"I just made a mistake that all men make. But in order to blackmail me, the French made a wrong calculation." Alan Wilson was worried in his heart, but his face was as cold as ice, and he was not prepared to compromise at all.

"Sir Wilson has misunderstood. France is a country of romance. The French are unwilling and will not disturb one... or more than one true love. I can guarantee that not many people know about this."

Seeing this situation, Selt's expression softened and he took out a memo, "Sir, you can take it now. I can guarantee that the French intelligence department will have no backup. Even the two ladies Heidi and Ingrid will be taken care of by the government. There will also be policy support.”

"Of course, the sincerity goes beyond that. This is Air France's Comet order. French Africa needs to maintain the route to Paris. For the sake of the concept of a greater Europe, of course we cannot choose American Boeing, which has a tough stance on colonies."

Selter kept taking out several memos, including the order for the Comet airliner.

As well as sharing France’s research progress on smoothbore cannons, the Paris Auto Show is about to open, and British cars are expected to shine, with numerous conditions.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the embassy together. Salt said with admiration, "We are looking forward to the good news from Sir and the vigorous development of the two countries in the field of economy and trade."

"The deep friendship of the French people makes it impossible for me to ignore the difficulties currently facing France. As an executor of the concept of a greater Europe, I have a duty to do so." Alan Wilson said this and pondered, "About the British, French and German intentions at the European Community meeting , jointly launch shipbuilding standards and patent protection?”

"This is what France wants to do." Sert said righteously, "Just as Jazz said, the United States supports Japan to balance the influence of Britain and France, and to use Japan's advantage in low wages to squeeze Europe. industry. France will never agree to actions that harm the interests of European countries."

"Very good!" Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction, holding a dozen memoranda involving economics and trade in his hand, expressed his gratitude to France for its firm attitude, and then turned to leave.

First, he had to send a telegram to Northern Rhodesia. When he arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he learned from Wick that due to different opinions, the cabinet meeting on France's mobilization order ended up with no results.

At the Port of Toulon, the first batch of French troops rushing to aid Algeria, under the watchful eyes of Toulon residents, sang Marseillaise and boarded the ship, rushing to Algeria, which was not too far away.

Almost at the same time, leaders of the formerly independent French African countries publicly sided with France. "In fact, everyone knows that Algeria is different from other colonies. It is of course an integral part of France."

Each of these founding fathers, who only became independent from France last year, has shown their loyalty to France and is a firm supporter of Gaullism. The lessons from the past are not far away. They do not want their land to be swept away by the French army. Not even a single telephone pole could be found.

"I never get any free time." A tired Alan Wilson put his chin on Princess Margaret's shoulder and complained in her ear that he had paid too much for the country.

"You don't have any free time here? You have time at Pamela." Princess Margaret pouted, her red lips still glistening, which was the aftereffect of the quarrel just now.

"What did Her Majesty say? I don't want to see Her Majesty all the time." Alan Wilson held Princess Margaret in his arms and placed a familiar hand on the mountain, feeling the care from the royal family. , said gratefully, "Even if I die for the interests of Britain, I will have no problem with it. My only regret may be..."

Hearing the whisper in her ear, Princess Margaret couldn't help but blush, shook her head and whispered, "I have to worry about the reputation of the royal family. It's not that I don't want to, I also want my own child."

"Yes, I am still your brother-in-law." Alan Wilson comforted in a very distressed low voice, "Take your time, I believe there will be a way. When I climb to the position of Cabinet Secretary-General, I will have enough power to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. Privacy.”

"Shameless!" Princess Margaret leaned into the man's arms and laughed as she felt the warm palms on her belly. Didn't the man mean what he said? It's like it's obligatory to have children for this man.

How could Alan Wilson come over to see Her Royal Highness the Princess when he has no business? He does have a business operation now. He hopes that Princess Margaret can shoulder the responsibilities of the royal family and serve as the convener of this competition.

"Cape Town Car Rally?" Princess Margaret looked shocked, "Let me be the convener."

"Her Royal Highness, an important member of the royal family of the British Empire and beloved by the citizens, used her influence to convene this grand event and let the world's major car companies bring their best cars to participate in this event."

Alan Wilson spoke slowly, "Pamela will be the main sponsor of this event, and the convener must be Her Royal Highness the Princess. We cannot let Her Majesty the Queen come to pay attention to this event in person. Her Majesty has her own responsibilities. Her Royal Highness the Princess is more suitable.

The French actually threatened him before, which inspired his own rebellious psychology and decided to copy the French car rally.

In later generations, the Dakar Rally was known as the game of the brave and the toughest rally in the world. As the toughest and most adventurous racing sport, it is well known around the world and attracts the keen attention of more than 500 million people around the world.

On the one hand, hosting such an event can stabilize Britain's influence in Africa to a certain extent. On the other hand, it can serve as an advertisement for British off-road vehicles, especially Land Rover vehicles. As for Japan's Toyota, which has just launched its small car effort and has not made much achievements in off-roading, it is not eligible to participate.

Through this event, off-road vehicles are bound to Land Rover and a first impression is made, which is definitely beneficial to the development of Land Rover. The cost is naturally necessary, but this cost is not huge for Pamela Mountbatten.

Why not do it if it can maintain Britain's traditional influence on Africa and bring benefits to its own industry? If Princess Margaret is willing, she can start preparations after this year and officially start the competition next year.

Half an hour later, the two appeared chatting and laughing, and were still discussing the holding of the car rally. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"How are these new agents?" Alan Wilson asked Her Royal Highness the Princess what she thought as she walked.

"Much better than the previous batch of people." Princess Margaret was very satisfied and praised the replacement agents from the Fifth Branch.

"The most important thing is reliability." Alan Wilson felt relieved after hearing this, "Especially when it comes to the safety of Her Royal Highness, you can never be too careful."

I don’t feel safe without your caring brother-in-law! Princess Margaret thought sadly.

The news of France launching a mobilization order was suddenly replaced by this martial arts competition in the automotive industry.

Pamela Mountbatten opened the press conference for the Mountbatten Group's move to organize a car rally with the most adventurous sport, "Only the bravest knights and the best mounts will become this test." An event of spirit and endurance, the ultimate winner.”

Lusaka, as the capital of Northern Rhodesia, seems not to have been affected by the war in Katanga. Elisabeth Square looks like a European city, with an unusual number of women.

Ten kilometers to the north, a large number of Slavic men were armed and armed, sitting in Land Rover Defenders, forming a huge team and rushing north. Behind them, there were towed artillery and a long queue of trucks.

"It's time to get off work!" Alan Wilson stretched out of the office and said hello to his colleagues, "I'll tell you something tomorrow."

Today is another uneventful day. Even if the telegram from Northern Rhodesia is delivered, it will be processed tomorrow. What important business could there be in the colonies? Impossible, absolutely impossible...

One wave after another broke out. When France launched an mobilization order in anger over the Algerian affairs, more than 40,000 armed elements from Northern Rhodesia crossed the border and rushed into Katanga Province. The chaos in Congo seemed to have expanded.
