Chapter 1130 World Peace

"Alan, you're here." When Rab Butler saw Alan Wilson pushing the door open, he immediately nodded and said, "You have heard about it, what do you think?"

"What did you hear?" Alan Wilson asked rhetorically after sitting down, which directly confused Rab Butler. The dignified Standing Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't even know what happened, "The Soviet Union's nuclear weapons on Novaya Zemlya Island test."

"It's a small matter." Alan Wilson nodded, and then said nothing.

This reaction puzzled Rab Butler, "The most powerful nuclear bomb in the world, you don't have anything to say?"

"No!" Alan Wilson replied simply, without giving the Foreign Secretary any trouble. "The volume is so large that I have nothing to comment on. What does the Minister want me to say?"

"What's the solution? You don't have any idea." Rab Butler didn't understand why Alan Wilson was so cold, so different from usual.

"My opinion doesn't matter. Britain is not a rival to the Soviet Union anyway..." Alan Wilson shrugged. "It's not like the UK doesn't have nuclear bombs with a yield of five million. The Soviet Union launches against Britain, and the UK launches against the Soviet Union. It's the same." . Every fight has the same result. If the minister feels that the UK wants to do something? I don’t know where it is, can you give me some tips? Should it be more cautious or more radical?"

Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask the question and then waited for the answer. He was so busy. He was currently doing counterintelligence work and talking about biological evolution with the president of the Biological Association. Dr. Ike also talked about the research on the Ediacaran by scholars from other countries. Summarize the conclusion.

Of course, none of the above tasks are important. What is more important is of course the issue of the next generation. The discussion between him and Vivien Leigh when their son was growing up is more important. What is more important is whether to buy a Bentley or a Rolls-Royce. .

Compared with these things, is the Soviet Union's Tsarist nuclear bomb very important? It may be important in the eyes of some people, but he definitely doesn't think so. The reason is just like what he said, Britain can't defeat the Soviet Union. Why should we pay attention to this?

"What would be some more prudent advice?" Rab Butler asked, looking to see what advice the Permanent Secretary could give.

"We should probably do something, but it's too late." Alan Wilson replied calmly.

"What about something more radical?" Rab Butler shook his head directly. This was obviously not the answer he wanted.

"Minister, you are very courageous." Alan Wilson took a deep look at the minister and thought as he said, "In fact, the Tsarist nuclear bomb did not reach its maximum power. Even the Soviet Union wanted to find a place with vast land and sparsely populated areas. It is not easy to maximize the power of nuclear bombs.

But the free world is not without such venues. "

"Theoretically, the power of thermonuclear weapons is unlimited. It just depends on whether you dare to increase the power. If we adopt a radical response, we must first find a test site that is vast and sparsely populated."

"For example, Australia?" Rab Butler asked, not knowing whether Alan Wilson meant this.

"For example, no, that's a Commonwealth country." Alan Wilson almost bit off his tongue. His wife lives in Australia. Is this minister reliable? Could it be a spy planted by the Soviet Union in the British Empire? Should check it out.

"The seven million square kilometers of the Sahara Desert is a good testing ground. If France doesn't mind, we can work with France to make more powerful nuclear bombs. The Soviet Union made 50 million tons, and we will make 100 million. tons, no matter how much the Soviet Union increases the yield, we can make a nuclear bomb twice as big."

"The locals will be dissatisfied." Rab Butler took a breath of cold air. Does the other party know what he is talking about?

Want to compete with the Soviets? The test results this time have reached 60 million tons. Doesn’t the UK have to respond with an equivalent of 120 million tons?

"The dissatisfaction of local people is actually irrelevant. People are not equal, just like the earth is not equally warm and cold."

Alan Wilson muttered lightly, "Many factors may interfere with the realization of this idea, but the dissatisfaction of local people is not really a reason."

Calculated based on the inequality of public opinion aroused in Alan Wilson's mind, the value of British people and the value of black Africans should be roughly converted to about 1 to 50,000. One hundred people died in the UK, which is roughly equivalent to five million Africans dying.

Rab Butler still disagreed with this suggestion, "It's a bit too radical. Is there any other way?"

"Ask how the Americans respond and whether there is any need for the UK's cooperation." Alan Wilson's eyes flashed with an unsurprising look. "If the US has no intention of responding, why should the UK respond? If this is not the case, As long as we have the heart to be an ostrich, no one can make us stick our heads out again."

"Isn't this too much of an accident?" Rab Butler couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt that he was really behind the times. What are young people thinking today?

"Now people all over the world are watching the reaction of the United States." Alan Wilson looked very confident in the United States.

Of course, he didn't know where this confidence lay. According to his memory, the Tsarist nuclear bomb was the most powerful nuclear weapon in the world, and the United States did not respond at all.

However, the UK can use public opinion to look forward to the US's reaction. As a diplomat, how could he not maintain a friendly relationship with the media?

It's just that Alan Wilson has never used government pressure or personal connections to kidnap him. The way he builds a good relationship with the media is very simple, by giving money...

"Now the whole world is waiting for the response of the United States..." The solution to increasing money has always been immediate. After a brief silence, the allies, mainly the United Kingdom, put all their hopes in the free world on the United States. .

All countries believe that the United States will not allow the Soviet Union to coerce, threaten, demonstrate, or embarrass the free world.

Now the United States has become the hope of the entire free world. I don’t know how the United States feels about this kind of moral kidnapping. Anyway, Alan Wilson is just sitting and watching.

The top brass of the Pentagon were extremely indignant about this kidnapping, but of course this indignation was limited to within the Pentagon. Are these allies really just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously and asking the United States to respond? How did the United States respond?

Where can I find such a large test site to respond? There is no such a place in the United States anyway, so why not put it in Alaska?

This also requires consideration of what Canadians think. Even Australia, its most reliable ally, does not dare to allow the United States to build a bomb more powerful than the Soviet nuclear bomb and test it on its own soil.

The Pentagon's first response is to build new defense facilities to ensure that in the face of such a powerful nuclear bomb attack in a nuclear war, top US officials will not be blamed.

Charles, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense of the United States, submitted a plan to build a super underground command center to Defense Secretary Robert. According to the content of this plan, this command center is mainly used to defend against non-warning nuclear strikes.

However, after the Soviet Union tested the Tsar Bomba, the U.S. military made changes to this plan and finally decided to build a super underground command center.

This super command center was built near the Pentagon. When the nuclear bomb strikes, the top US military officials in the Pentagon will have time to enter it and avoid being beheaded by the Soviet nuclear missile.

This underground command center is three thousand feet above the surface, that is, a command center is built one thousand meters deep underground, and it can prevent nuclear weapons with a total yield of 200 million tons to 300 million tons.

"Are you kidding me?" Kennedy said directly to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara when faced with the proposal. "What's the point of this plan? A super command center a thousand meters underground? And next to the Pentagon? This will What do voters think? Citizens think the military has lost confidence in the United States."

"But we can't do nothing." Robert McNamara was also in a dilemma. The Secretary of Defense was not a soldier, and he had to be careful when dealing with senior military officials in the Pentagon.

"You directly tell the Pentagon that this plan is meaningless, cannot be kept secret, is expensive, and is completely whimsical. The president has already vetoed it." Kennedy replied with an unhappy face, "Either we will not respond at all, or we will not use this plan. way to respond."

Anyway, Kennedy felt that instead of responding in this way, it would be better not to respond, which would be completely counterproductive.

Compared with the silence of the United States, Khrushchev rose up in Versailles. When evaluating the power of the Tsarist nuclear bomb, he made a very sad evaluation, "We could have tested a larger hydrogen bomb, but we did not want to shatter our own country. windowpane."

The United States made up its mind not to respond in kind, and public opinion in Europe naturally could not hold on to it. Instead, it began to call for peace and called on the United States and the Soviet Union not to plunge the world into a nuclear war.

After that, everything seemed to be business as usual, nothing changed. Alan Wilson accompanied Hepburn to the opera house to listen to operas, and accompanied her to concerts and literary evenings. Women had their own busy schedules: buying items and customizing new clothes.

How can a mere Tsarist nuclear bomb compare with Hepburn's mood? Alan Wilson tried his best to prove that his love for Hepburn is the happiest, sweetest, noblest and most beautiful emotion in the world.

"That's why I'm so easily deceived by you." Hepburn looked like she had been deceived by a man because of her lack of experience.

"You can't say that. For you, I can be fearless. Even if the Soviet Union's Tsarist nuclear bomb falls on my head, I can still show my face." Alan Wilson swore, and then added, " I am not an American who is tough on the outside but timid on the inside, Audrey, you have to remember this."
