Chapter 1134. Talked About but Not Fully Talked About

Kennedy's suggestion made it difficult for him not to think of the historical Nassau Agreement.

Although Alan Wilson is told rationally that the two are not the same, compared with the Britain in memory that was deeply troubled by debt problems, looking forward and backward, looking for the future direction, the current Britain is much stronger, and has no embarrassment in memory.

But he was not sure whether Kennedy felt good about himself. If the second generation of power was as confident as the United States on domestic issues and treated international issues with the same attitude, he might have the idea of ​​forcing Britain to submit.

And now the United Kingdom is still obeying obediently, how unthinkable is that?

From the perspective of the President of the United States, Alan Wilson elaborated on several opinions on the best way for Britain to hand over its nuclear forces to the command of the United States, give up all colonies, and at the same time dismantle the pound zone.

The report was completed and sent directly to Norman Brooke, who asked the cabinet secretary to hand it to Prime Minister Eden for reference.

"It seems that next year's border war will have to be performed very hard." Alan Wilson put his hand to support his chin. It was time to perform the most sublimated British emperor in front of Nehru. .

This would have the advantage of projecting an image that the UK remains an influential global player.

We can't be the best in Asia, and then kneel down in front of the United States and obediently hand over our nuclear power, right? This contrast is unacceptable even to British citizens.

After the report was submitted, Alan Wilson set off immediately to find Princess Margaret to explain her itinerary and express how much the First Lady of the United States admired the jewel of the royal family.

"Is the First Lady of the United States beautiful?" Princess Margaret asked sitting on her brother-in-law's lap, like a koala, not wanting to leave Alan Wilson's body.

"To be fair, an ordinary woman's so-called self-cultivation and grace can only be cultivated, and are far less natural than the Queen and Princess. She is nothing, she just wears the name of the President's wife. One day Kennedy is no longer president, and she is nothing. She is just a woman who can be manipulated by men."

Alan Wilson twitched the corners of his mouth, never being cold to this kind of so-called public praise. According to current public opinion, Kennedy is a weak president. How can he be so popular after the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Even the president can be shaped by the media, let alone a president's wife. With such a noble appearance, why did he fall directly into the arms of Onassis?

"But she is indeed the wife of the President of the United States now, sister,

I mean Her Majesty doesn't like her. But I couldn't say anything. "It seems that Princess Margaret's growth period did come a little late. A few years ago, she would never have said these words, and she would not even want to think about it.

Alan Wilson stretched out his thumb and index finger, gently twisted his sister-in-law's earlobe, and sighed, "It's so surprising. I thought you had nothing in your mind except love?"

"But this is also true. In today's world, no matter now or in the next few decades, there is no country that can shake Americans' confidence in their own country. The Soviet Union cannot, and China cannot. But the United Kingdom can... But this premise, The UK cannot be left behind by the US."

The Soviet Union once made American citizens doubt their own country before and after the Vietnam War. As for China, it has just begun. At most, it can be regarded as the Soviet Union during the Khrushchev period.

This level of competition is far from shaking Americans' deep-rooted understanding of the American exception and the city on a hill.

In fact, both Britain and France have cultural advantages that make Americans suspicious of Japan. What they lack is that the hard power of Britain and France is incomparable to that of China and the Soviet Union, let alone the United States.

France is the beginning of the modern republic, and the United States has no institutional confidence in France. What's more, the French army was the main contributor to the American War of Independence. As for the United Kingdom, the United States was a British colony in the past.

It is precisely because of this that the United States did not forget to lay mines for Britain and France when dealing with opponents with stronger national power in the hostile camp.

There is no need to worry about France now. After the establishment of the Fifth Republic, De Gaulle will not take advantage of the United States. By absorbing Algeria, France had the potential to change the balance of Europe.

The pressure is now all on the British side, if the British can still retain a certain degree of strength. It is not impossible to balance the influence of the United States in the free world.

At present, Alan Wilson still wants to protect himself. If Britain has the military strength of the Soviet Union, even if it is only half. It can be said that the third force that Britain tried after the war took shape. Britain no longer has to worry about being choked by the United States.

"Don't worry!" Seeing her brother-in-law being silent, Princess Margaret shook her brother-in-law's neck and comforted softly, "Actually, you don't have to worry about these things. With your wealth, you can still live a good life if you don't have to worry about the country's affairs. .”

"Your understanding is really naive, my princess. There is no such thing as this doctrine or that doctrine. It is just a question of who comes first with power and wealth. But the two are indispensable. Once Britain does not have the national power to cover its current interests, it will mainly rely on Military strength is demonstrated. Do you think British citizens will not get into trouble? Americans must keep the easiest and most profitable industries for themselves."

"Otherwise the Comet airliner appeared so many years before Boeing, why has it never been able to enter the US market? Isn't it the US government setting up obstacles? The pound is still widely circulated, but if the industry declines, won't the pound depreciate? Wealth won't Diluted? This is a major issue involving 50 million British citizens."

Alan Wilson, who was unconsciously kneading his sister-in-law's buttocks with his other hand, didn't think that being a rich man would mean he would be safe. Capital knows no borders, meaning it generally flows to the strongest country.

The strongest refers to capitalist countries. The hostile camp does not have this ability. The hostile camp can brag about how wages are settled on time. Only people with no brains would think that a country that often suppresses wages will have a better business environment than the free world. .

After some in-depth communication with his sister-in-law, Alan Wilson dragged his exhausted body and settled the matter of meeting with the First Lady of the United States. He had sacrificed too much for Britain.

The state dinner at Buckingham Palace had nothing to do with Alan Wilson. He went to Norman Brooke's office at No. 70 Whitehall.

The cabinet secretary informed the promising junior that he had already forwarded the almost alarmist report to the prime minister, "but there is some truth to it. It is not a secret that the United States wants to use a platform to unify the use of nuclear weapons."

"I just didn't expect that the Americans have persisted in such a shameless proposition." Alan Wilson said very displeasedly, "Sir Norman, maybe the military is not as indispensable as the Soviet Union thinks, but military power is indeed It determines many things, and I can’t imagine how we can protect Malaya’s industrial base, the Middle East’s energy security, and Africa’s raw material origins without military factors.”

"If it cannot be saved, an important wing of the pound area will be abandoned. Then the pound area will naturally exist in name only, and the pound will continue to depreciate. The UK will also become a second-rate country. I think at that time, we can focus on America’s little follower.”

"Perhaps in the European Community, we still need to express a posture that is in step with France. Otherwise, the United Kingdom may not have a say in the European Community."

"This prospect is indeed very scary." Norman Brooke also nodded solemnly. "So the Prime Minister also avoided the discussion about the command authority of nuclear weapons. However, it can be seen that Kennedy has not given up."

"It's still the old way, let's delay. At least one thing is for sure, the United States will not use force with us. Other than this, there seems to be nothing to worry about."

Soon, around this point, Alan Wilson had reached a consensus with the cabinet secretary, the core of the British civil service, the supreme authority, Sir Norman Brooke.

Of course, on the surface, Britain still supports the United States in being the talker of the free world, because the United States has brains, temperament, ruthlessness, and most importantly, money.

"I don't know what our joint communiqué will say." Alan Wilson said to himself in relief.

"What the French say, the British say." Norman Brook said with a smile, "Alan, we are all people who firmly implement the concept of a greater Europe."

"Of course, dear Sir." Alan Wilson said understandingly, "I think de Gaulle is actually waiting to see the British reaction. Every time he thinks about it, he sighs that some things have not changed in eight hundred years."

The Anglo-American Joint Communiqué is almost another version of the U.S.-French Joint Communiqué. Britain will not agree to anything that France does not agree to, and Eden will not allow a weak president to take away Britain's nuclear weapons command authority with just one mouthful.

Of course, this can't be said to have ended on bad terms, after all, France came first. After the Anglo-American Joint Communique was released, Paris loudly praised the unity of the free world and that Britain's leadership was generally recognized by European countries.

After the Kennedys left the UK, Marilyn Monroe's popularity increased rapidly in the UK. There were rumors that Jacqueline imitated Marilyn Monroe's dress, which was talked about by British readers.

It's not scary to wear matching clothes, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed. Whatever your temperament is, it's just a trick to fool people, and it's just an excuse for you to be ugly.

If we look at another field, Valieva was definitely framed by the United States. There is no reason. She is beautiful and powerful. There is no doubt about Mao Mei. If you are a black figure skater, there is no doubt about taking medicine.

The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains as usual, and the twice-yearly European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting is approaching with vigorous steps.

As the end of the year approaches, the united European Community member states will continue to implement the concept of a greater Europe. For Alan Wilson, the jointly developed fighter jet project is what he is most concerned about.
