Chapter 1100 The Republican Party’s Fault

"Then give it a try!" I felt that it didn't work, but I had to pretend to work hard.

This time, Pamela Mountbatten came to Basra with him. Now that Nehru was here, Alan Wilson saw if he could test Nehru through the Mountbatten Group's contacts in India.

"Is it useful?" Pamela Mountbatten also felt unsure and hoped that her husband could give her some confidence.

"It's okay for me to lie to the minister, but how can I lie to you?" Alan Wilson hesitated, but the meaning was already clear, "I can't even think of what role India has, except for the inherent self-confidence of Indians. Outside. Is it necessary to use the signs of ancient civilizations to get the United States to pay attention? And to be honest, what contribution do these ancient civilizations have to modern society? Although they all say that their civilizations are unique and very important. But apart from population, In what aspects is it worthy of respect?"

"You also said that population is also very important. India is not small and has a larger population." Pamela Mountbatten carefully verified, "Didn't you say that there is a demographic dividend?"

"To put it bluntly, India's demographic dividend served the British during the colonial era, but the level India is at now serves the free world. If a British man cannot find a woman to sleep with in his own country, he will go to India. Being able to find good women from upper castes to accompany you is a demographic dividend.”

Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and dragged his chin, and explained disapprovingly, "Being at the bottom of the world is like working like an ant. That is the demographic dividend. The upward path has been blocked. I can't guarantee that in other countries, India will not be able to break through this kind of situation." Blockade. This is reality, the real level that India is at, so do you think the United States will take a fancy to such a country and value its opinions?"

"Then my dialogue with Nehru was to pretend to respect Nehru and use India's attitude to test the United States." Pamela Mountbatten understood and couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "You are too dirty in politics. You can obviously talk well." , but spoke of India in such a bad light."

"You are my wife. If it were anyone else, I would definitely express my sincere admiration for India's long history. Even if I know that I am indeed lying." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said unwillingly, "In fact, the Soviet Union It is far more useful than India, but we can’t look for the Soviets because the Soviet Union is indeed too powerful.”

Although I had expected it, I was still unwilling to bow my head and admit defeat at this time, even though I had tried my best to make amends and let the dragoon sisters' enterprises make up for the British losses. Alan Wilson still wants a futile save.

"If Macmillan resigns because of this, it will not be a loss at all." At the critical moment, Alan Wilson even deceived himself, imagining the benefits of signing an alliance under the city this time.

Macmillan was not completely inactive. He had been working with the French Foreign Minister Maurice Couf Demville.

Discuss the possibility of joint advance and retreat, and at the same time inform Aiden in London of the United States' position.

However, although Eden has always interfered in British foreign policy, this time he did not give any instructions, leaving full power to Macmillan for this meeting.

Without the interference of the prime minister, Macmillan in Basra acted like a foreign secretary, constantly negotiating with the United States on the Iran issue and attracting enough allies.

"In fact, our plan has fully taken into account the interests of the United Kingdom and even Europe. The United Kingdom should really accept it." Dean Rusk said to Macmillan sincerely, "Didn't the United States also return Aramco to Saudi Arabia? ? Those are companies with an output of 60 million barrels. Only by getting rid of this obviously colonial policy can we resist Soviet penetration."

The truth is this, and Alan Wilson also understands the truth, but it is Britain that suffers, and he can't help but feel weird, "If the United States had always had such a calm judgment, it would not have sat back and watched the Korean War have the kind of outcome."

"This kind of statement is very arbitrary. It is a very complicated issue." Dean Rusk was well-bred and was not angry because of Alan Wilson's interruption.

"You can't even handle Cuba." Alan Wilson glanced over his head, showing no intention of stopping. Then he added salt to the Americans' wounds, as if they deserved as much beating as they deserved.

Dean Rusk knew that Britain had suffered a loss in this matter. Just like the deputy secretary in front of him, he was obviously angry, so he did not refute and said directly, "If the British side can accept it..."

"Britain will not accept it." Alan Wilson spoke directly, and then said with a cold face, "Unless..."

"Okay, let me hear what it is?" Dean Rusk said with an attitude of listening.

"Mossadegh must step down and disappear from Iranian politics. It is very dangerous for this person to still be in Iranian politics."

Alan Wilson said coldly, "His incitement of nationalism can be used to deal with the United Kingdom, and one day it can also be used to deal with the United States, and even the entire free world. Moreover, the Soviet Union has had a huge promoting effect on Mossadegh from beginning to end. In order to prevent Mossadegh from falling to the side one day, The Soviet Union turned Iran into a republic and it was necessary to remove Mossadegh from politics."

Alan Wilson actually wanted to say that Mossadegh's family would be killed directly, but if he said it so bluntly, the Americans might not agree, so he would settle for the next best thing and let Mossadegh step down. As long as Mossadegh steps down, Once you become an ordinary person, Americans will naturally not have to worry about the rest.

Britain still has the ability to target an individual, so it will naturally let Mossadegh's family go see Allah when the time comes.

"This?" Dean Rusk pondered, seeming to be thinking about the pros and cons.

"On the Congo issue, the United States still needs the help of the United Kingdom. To curb Lumumba's efforts to undermine the African order." Macmillan also spoke at this time, mentioning Britain's influence on African affairs, allowing the United States to make a judgment .

"I will communicate with the country once." Dean Rusk also knew not to offend the United Kingdom too much. The United Kingdom still has influence in many places, and the United States will need time to replace the British influence bit by bit. Now is not the time to force Britain to fall out of favor all at once.

Alan Wilson also understands that he wants to adopt sausage-slicing tactics against Britain, so when things are irreversible, he needs to ensure that the same thing does not happen next time.

The most important thing is to prevent Mossadegh from becoming a precedent that can be followed, so this Iranian national hero must have a tragic end. As for whether it is moral to do so, it doesn't matter.

In the White House, Kennedy has recently been dealing with the heads of the intelligence agencies, either the CIA or Hoover of the FBI. The reason is still why there are so many deformed children in the United States.

The U.S. intelligence department is, if not the strongest in the world, at least one of the strongest in the world. The FBI and the CIA jointly investigated and quickly figured out the situation at home and abroad.

In addition to the United States, there are also countries with deformed children such as Germany, Japan, and South America such as Brazil and Argentina.

But it is very rare in Commonwealth countries. Through intelligence personnel in the Federal Republic of Germany, the CIA discovered that the situation in Germany was unexpectedly serious, with thousands of deformed children appearing.

The FBI's investigation in the United States is even more shocking. More than 10,000 deformed children have appeared in just a cursory investigation, and the investigation is far from over.

"It is certain that thalidomide, a drug originating in Germany, has extremely bad side effects." CIA Director Dulles came to the White House with his judgment and told Kennedy the results.

Kennedy was actually relieved to hear this result, because this was the responsibility of the previous government. It wasn't a major mistake on his part, he said, "Not even the Commonwealth countries were affected?"

"Because of the Iranian oil crisis and Germany's support for us, the UK imposed sanctions on Germany. The ban has not yet been lifted. Many countries in the Commonwealth have followed the UK in imposing sanctions."

Dulles replied, "By the way, President, we received news from the Secretary of State that Britain has proposed a condition. Otherwise, the United Kingdom will not accept the mediation plan we formulated."

Kennedy had to temporarily forget the trouble caused by thalidomide. After listening to what news Dulles brought, it took him a long time to ask, "Remove Mossadegh?"

"In fact, what the British said makes sense. We can't trust any nationalist now. The situation in Cuba cannot happen again. Mossadegh has a wide range of supporters. The Soviet Union's role in it is subtle. Obviously, Bale Wei is more reliable." Dulles did agree with the British attitude, "Iran, with its rising nationalism, can cause trouble for Britain or the United States. Britain is right on this point."

"And we also need to appease the UK now, and we cannot be too indifferent to the UK's feelings."

"Okay! Promise to the UK for the time being. I have to respond to the thalidomide incident now." Domestic matters still have to take priority over the international situation, because it involves the issue of support ratings.

Kennedy stood up immediately after agreeing that he would hold a press conference to respond to the thalidomide incident.

The response is simple, it was the Republican Party's fault, and now he wants to make up for the Republican Party's mistakes. Ensure that these affected families can receive compensation.

"The matter will never be settled like this. We will continue to investigate and get compensation for the injured families." Kennedy, with tears in his eyes, felt dejected by such a tragedy. This scene moved countless American families.

The president will definitely get compensation for the United States. If it does not affect the United States, the United States can let its friends reconcile without paying any price.

But when it comes to the United States, this is another problem. Allies can suffer losses, but the United States cannot.
