Chapter 1160 Running for Peace

Mr. Caetano is right, Mr. Shastri is right!

Alan Wilson can't come up with any constructive suggestions. He is more accustomed to selling out, or coming up with mature plans after considering everything, and having private one-on-one communications.

Appearing in communication situations can only lead to quarrels. After the meeting is over, it is his home court.

He decided to have a talk with Shastri. At least this man could be considered a moderate leader of the Congress Party. If he was a ruthless person like Desai who drank urine, he could only proceed from his position of strength rather than being so easy to talk to.

Since the British emperor was facing this Indian leader, he did not need to go all out to deal with it. After all, extreme sublimation is not without cost. Britain is currently more suitable to form its own restricted area, preserve its strength and watch the two great emperors of the world go shopping.

After obtaining the approval of the two cabinet ministers, Alan Wilson found Shastri and conducted a one-on-one investigation. This was how he betrayed Poland when he was in Potsdam many years ago.

Shastri is a vegetarian, which can be seen from the other person's shriveled body. Alan Wilson even doubted whether the leader of the Indian National Congress would be lifted up by a gust of wind. .

This did not delay him from preparing clean and hygienic whiskey, pretending to talk to the other party in a relaxed manner, first introduced himself, and was instructed by two cabinet ministers to communicate based on his experience of working in India, "Shastri said to Ma How does it feel to come to Asia?”

"It's very good. The level of development is refreshing." Shastri sighed sincerely. He is not from a wealthy family with a good background. He knows the situation in India very well and knows the real situation in vast areas of India.

Although after independence, India has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the original British India.

"Mr. Shastri's pragmatic spirit is something that many countries don't have." Alan Wilson picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey. The initial contact was good and it was a good start.

"Actually, in terms of hardware facilities, Malaya is almost the same as the British mainland. Of course, in terms of accumulation, not even thirty years is still far behind. I am not being modest, and the credit for this is also due to my two terms of office." Len Wilson did not mean to boast, but asked rhetorically, "Mr. Shastri, what does Mr. Shastri think is the basis for development?"

"Excellent leader, full support from the government?" Shastri would not have hesitated due to his age, but he was a little unsure of Alan Wilson's purpose and could only answer in a tentative tone.

"The most important thing is a peaceful environment. Only peace will prevent development from being disrupted."

Alan Wilson stretched out his hand as if embracing and praising peace, and then his eyes fell on Shastri again, "A country is plunged into war.

There would have been no development. Without the two world wars, Britain had enough spare power to suppress the United States and the Soviet Union. Maybe British India still exists today, and it may not be acceptable from India’s perspective, but that’s the fact. "

Alan Wilson did not intend to rub salt into the wounds of the Indians. He just told the truth, and even if he meant it, the Indians had nothing to do with him. He was just showing a sincere attitude and had no other intention.

What the Secretary of State is eagerly waiting for the Cuban Missile Crisis to break out, an absolute lie, no one cherishes peace more than Alan Wilson, what hope is that only Britain has nuclear bombs, and then blows up the whole world is just drunken talk, how could he possibly He is that kind of person. The Red Beard tactical nuclear bomb was placed in Malaya just to protect himself.

The Vulcan bomber is only a purely defensive weapon, and he has never formulated a plan to overthrow the Sukarno regime. Now talking about peaceful development is his true face.

Moreover, his tone is unprecedentedly sincere. Alan Wilson is a person who has starred with many movie queens. No one can expose his original peaceful connotation. "The British are all considering India. Once they use force to solve the Goa problem, they may There are knock-on effects, such as the news from the UK alone, Goa and Karachi have maintained this good relationship."

"This?" Hearing Alan Wilson say Pakistan, Shastri was a little hesitant. Pakistan's two territories are on both sides of India, wrapping India in the middle.

In this geographical environment, it can be said that India is blooming in the center, or it can be said that it is facing attack from both sides.

In short, it all depends on the position to explain. It must be said that India cannot ignore this encirclement.

"Portugal is a member of the European Community! I believe India also needs investment. Once the war starts, India will be regarded as an unsafe place." Alan Wilson put himself in his shoes and analyzed, "Of course, India can be self-sufficient. It’s just that the development is a little slower.”

Alan Wilson himself felt a little guilty when he said this. Is it just a little slow? India has long been at a similar level to black Africa. Now that Britain is still building the capitals of its major colonies, India may not be able to catch up with Africa.

However, if India's development is extensive, British Africa can be said to be destructive development. From a numerical point of view, it is very beautiful, and it is all based on fishing for the best.

Who said there are fewer colonies now? If we want to reach the original speed or even faster than before, we must improve efficiency. While the colonies are not yet independent, drain all the places where oil can be extracted.

Alan Wilson emphasized peace and explained the good relationship between Portugal and Pakistan. Of course, this good relationship was the one he spearheaded and Shastri did not need to know.

The fact now is that Goa and Pakistan on both sides of India form a triangle threat.

Even if India is in the Himalayas and needs one hand to hold Pakistan back, is it still invincible? It does not exist in the current geographical environment.

"The United Kingdom hopes that Portugal and India can talk calmly. The history of Portuguese Goa is much earlier than that of British India. We in the United Kingdom can completely ignore it. It is just because of the rising nationalism in India that we can prevent an outbreak in a territory. War, which may damage the relationship between Europe and India, is something we do not want to see, after all, the relationship between Portugal and Britain is not bad."

"There is still Portuguese Africa, and Portugal cannot be completely regarded as a small country. If it causes friction between European countries and India, it will be difficult for the UK to do anything."

Why does Great Britain want to join the European Community? Alan Wilson frankly said that it was just to face such an occasion. The European Community is on the left and the Commonwealth is on the right, so that we can bargain with other countries.

The Deputy Secretary-General did not give a single promise, even if he did hint from beginning to end that Britain wanted to help India regain Goa peacefully, but a hint is a hint, and a promise is two different things.

"If India is willing to use an open attitude and find an opportunity to clarify each other's interests and see if misunderstandings can be reduced, this communication will not be fruitless. The UK is also willing to continue to play a useful role so that both countries can have a decent ending."

After saying these words, Alan Wilson took a sip of whiskey to replenish his saliva and waited for Shastri's answer.

"We are willing to adopt an open attitude. As long as we can get Goa back, we are willing to give Portugal a guarantee to a certain extent." Shastri expressed his willingness to communicate. As for the promise, there is naturally no promise.

This is actually enough. Alan Wilson is just stalling for time. He doesn't care what the final result is, as long as he survives this year. As for future matters, if the two countries are willing to proceed from a position of strength, it has nothing to do with Britain.

It was rare in the past three hundred years that Britain could speak so easily, and this time Shastri saw it.

After getting India's attitude, Alan Wilson ended the behind-the-scenes operation and informed the two ministers and two prime ministers of India's bottom line.

"Indians still miss Goa," Profumo said with a sarcastic expression. "It's been different since independence."

"Profumo, you can't say that." Rab Butler smiled and shook his head. "It's a good result if we can negotiate. There is no upper limit on the time of a negotiation. It can be one year or ten years."

"The minister is right!" His own minister, Alan Wilson, naturally wanted to side with the propagandists of his department.

This result was very good, and then Alan Wilson informed Caetano of Shastri's attitude. As for keeping the same rhetoric as Rab Butler, as long as we can talk, the result is not important.

"The Paris Peace Conference dealing with the defeated countries has been quarreling for several months, discussing disputed territories. I think it is normal for the last ten years of talks to ultimately fail with regret." Alan Wilson commented with an objective and neutral attitude, and he was in no way inciting any of them. The meaning of a country.

If Caetano misunderstood the meaning, it can only be his personal behavior and has nothing to do with Britain or Alan Wilson himself.

"So when is the first round of talks? I will inform London later." Caetano nodded, and did not forget to add, "In fact, Portugal and the United Kingdom have common interests in Asia and Africa."

"Of course!" Alan Wilson answered simply this time. This was no longer a trivial matter for India. He promised, "Britain has no intention of forcing Portugal to sacrifice its interests. You can rest assured of this. Let's talk about it all. It’s our turn, we’ll talk about it once every six months, since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to have a job anyway.”

One day later, Caetano and Shastri had a calm exchange of words in the presence of the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, thanks to the sincerity of the United Kingdom in its efforts to maintain peace.

Alan Wilson was not idle either. He directly contacted the secret mine that had been laid for the original evacuation, leaked the news, and said that the Portuguese were willing to negotiate. As long as this news was released, at least before formal negotiations, there would be no use of force to solve the problem. It's possible.
