Chapter 1162 Khrushchev’s Decision
Every politician is a chameleon, and all they can do is provide all support except help.
It's not like Alan Wilson, a pillar of the country, wanted to hold an abacus as soon as he returned to London and calculate how to help India.
Let this big and independent country feel Dad's love again.
It can be seen from this that the minister is just trying to have fun, and the person who is serious about things must be the standing deputy minister.
Of course, it must be considered with an overview of the overall situation. First of all, the British troops stationed in Malaysia cannot be moved to prevent Indonesian infiltration. The British army cannot move, can't they use local troops? The same cannot be used!
Because apart from the British army, the Malayan army, whether it is the Chinese army or the Malay army, is incompatible with the Indian environment. One is the same ethnic group as a certain big country, and the other is a peace believer like Pakistan.
Therefore, even if Malaya is not far from India, it cannot provide timely assistance to India. .
The Middle East is also close, but if such an important place as the Middle East leaves when the United States and the Soviet Union are competing, what if something happens in the Middle East?
Britain could not bear the loss of losing the Middle East. After much thought, Alan Wilson looked at Britain's global layout and drew an unpredictable route, using British troops stationed in Africa to rush for reinforcements across the entire Indian Ocean.
However, the British troops stationed in Africa could not swim across and needed a transport fleet to reach the battlefield, but there was no British fleet in Africa. Zanzibar's symbolic fleet is not capable of shouldering this task.
After careful consideration, the steps to the highest level have been made clear. After learning the news, the British will first hold a cabinet meeting, and then with rare efficiency, decide to rush to India a few days later to let the Royal Pacific in Malaya The fleet rushed to Africa and transported British troops stationed in Africa to South Asia.
In this process, it must be publicized with great fanfare, and then speeding at a speed of fourteen knots. It is estimated that the war will be almost over halfway.
"It's simply a genius idea." Alan Wilson felt that even Marshal Mountbatten here would be shocked by his unbridled and unrestrained line. If you believe in the ability of a powerful country, even 50,000 pigs can be captured by the Communist Army. Not finished.
La la la... Before Pamela Mountbatten came in, a cheerful voice came in. Then she saw her husband gesturing at the world map and glanced at it curiously, "India? Are you still planning your wild plans?" idea."
“As an imperial civil servant, you must think of any possibility and make a record, only in this way can you be worthy of the country.
"Alan Wilson arched his hands in the direction of Buckingham Palace, and said with the face of a lackey who eats the emperor's salary.
He knew that his wife had an assumption that there would be a war between China and India. She didn't believe it, and she was too embarrassed to mention it to others. It didn't matter. When the time came, he would know that the Great Britain's Optimus Pillar was by no means a wasted reputation, and looked upon him differently. .
Maybe the Cubans have already talked with the Soviets now, you know, it's already the middle of the year.
"They are just the second most powerful country in the Soviet camp. How dare they be more radical than the Soviet Union?" Pamela Mountbatten muttered disapprovingly. Now even the Soviet Union is easing up.
"You don't understand this, my dear, the number one power is often closely watched. The number two power has more freedom." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "So the second child will be more aggressive than the boss."
The relationship between China and the Soviet Union during the Cold War was the opposite of what it was a few decades later, so it became more aggressive because it knew that no one would dare to do anything to the Soviet Union while it was still alive.
With this mentality, it even dared to trick the Soviet Union secretly. For example, Khrushchev visited the United States to talk about détente, but then went to the Kinmen artillery battle, directly inserting the Soviet Union into it.
Later, the two countries gradually became sour. Was it just because of the combined fleet and long-wave radio station? This is just a statement that is accepted by the country. It is essentially a big internal propaganda, showing that it has no responsibility and that the responsibility lies entirely with the Soviet Union.
The Moscow Conference embarrassed the Soviet Union, and the Kinmen artillery battle embarrassed Khrushchev. How could we still tell the truth about big issues of right and wrong?
Of course, decades later, I feel embarrassed to a certain extent by saying that we are not entirely right and you are not entirely wrong.
This is also the reason why the United States believes that a certain major country is more aggressive than the Soviet Union and must fight another war in Asia.
"The Soviet Union is definitely the stronger one, and they often like to show off their muscles, but in fact this kind of thinking is not difficult to deal with. It just needs to prove that we ourselves are not easy to mess with." Alan Wilson said in a persuasive way, "And the territory is so large. A country cannot be destroyed by means other than war. If there is a chance in the future, it is best not to be aggressive."
Alan Wilson was definitely not joking when he spoke, but was very serious. This is a country that is extremely difficult to offend and believes in force. Constant humiliation will only cause backlash. Should the table be turned on its head to respond or not to respond?
In the context of the Cold War, the United States was indeed very brave, and it responded to a certain major country by fighting the Vietnam War.
That is to say, the United States really had a strong foundation and was not dragged to death. This allowed the Soviet Union to launch a global offensive and suppress it for ten years.
After that, the United States was honest for a while, until Reagan came to power and used all means except war. Apart from war, the city on the hill was still very powerful.
From the British perspective, this time the decisive battle at the top of the Himalayas must be hyped up. It would be best to elevate this war to the level of the Cuban Missile Crisis and shape it into a general offensive by the Soviet bloc, which would shock the free world.
Of course, this kind of public opinion can deceive the traitor who is gradually becoming obsessed, but it is probably impossible to deceive de Gaulle.
The occurrence of the Cuban Missile Crisis made De Gaulle even more aware of the need to be independent from the United States to avoid being affected.
After this round of public opinion shaping, if a domino trend occurs in Asia, the United States will be more determined to show force again. After the Vietnam War is over, if optimistic estimates are made, the United Kingdom can truly start from a position of strength. As an independent ally of the United States, the special relationship between Britain and the United States will not gradually turn into a follower relationship.
In short, the conclusion that the direction of Asia is very dangerous can also be drawn through this battle.
At that time, we can take advantage of the trend to stir up trouble in Indonesia, and we can also establish a persona of defending the free world, the best of both worlds.
When the time comes, Alan Wilson will definitely try his best to prevent the United States from going to war in Vietnam. He can even use the Korean War as an example to urge the United States to stop, because the outside world is full of Viet Cong. But whether the United States listens or not is another matter. Maybe the United States, the great sage of Huntuo, does not speak out, but the United States will not feel anything about it yet.
I really urge the United States not to go to war in Asia, but the United States insists on sublimating it to the extreme and proving itself in front of daddy.
"Ignore you, let me tell you one thing. I invested the silver in the American market in batches, and now I am not losing money. If it really can rise, I can make a lot of money." Pamela Mountbatten ignored it. The husband planned a slightly possible plan and talked about his silver operation.
"This is indeed safer. Make sure you don't lose money first, and then we'll see." Alan Wilson praised with a smile.
"But it seems that I am not the only one who is releasing the power of silver." Pamela Mountbatten was a little confused.
"Maybe it's the Silver Party in the United States?" Alan Wilson held the wolfberry cup to hide his embarrassment. It might not only be the Silver Party members, but also some ladies with the same status as his wife.
Now that the Commonwealth Games is in full swing, it can be described as peaceful, but Alan Wilson estimates that the time should be almost there, including the preparation time.
Alan Wilson, who was counting the time, guessed correctly, Raul Castro was in Moscow at this time. Moreover, it has been interviewed by Khrushchev. Cuba is currently under blockade and is entirely supported by the Soviet Union.
After meeting with Raul Castro, Khrushchev held a meeting of the Central Presidium and explained in front of Kozlov and others the huge threat the Soviet Union was facing. Italy and Turkey deployed "Thor" and "Jupiter" Special" and other medium and long-range ballistic missiles, the Soviet Union has been surrounded by American nuclear weapons.
Within this distance, once the United States launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would not even have a chance to fight back.
"This dangerous strategic disadvantage must be changed." Khrushchev used his usual loud voice to explain his thoughts in front of other committee members. "Kennedy was just a weak president, controlled by small groups around him. From now on Judging from the Bay of Pigs landing, he was an indecisive man who lacked strong willpower."
If the distinguished Permanent Under-Secretary of the British Foreign Office were here, this description would surely sound familiar, and it seemed to fit the Sleeping King very well.
"This time I am going to throw a hedgehog into Uncle Sam's crotch." Khrushchev was determined, and then looked at the members of the Central Presidium, "The risk exists, but it is comparable to the current nuclear missiles of Italy and Turkey. Than, this risk can be overcome.”
Can it be overcome? Brezhnev almost couldn't help it, but in the end he said nothing.
"It can also consolidate the position of Cuban leader Castro and exert influence on Cuba politically, economically and militarily, thus using Cuba as a bargaining chip in political transactions with the United States to enhance the Soviet Union's deterrence capabilities."
Khrushchev continued to elaborate on his thoughts, "Now Raul Castro is in Moscow, eagerly waiting for our reply. There is only one chance."
The members of the Central Presidium immediately started a discussion and finally came up with a unified opinion and expressed support for Khrushchev's idea.
Later, Raul Castro arrived at the Kremlin and was personally received by Khrushchev. In their second meeting five days later, the two signed a secret agreement on behalf of the Soviet Union and Cuba.
Ah sneeze...Alan Wilson sneezed several times, put his hand on Hepburn's belly, and asked the ball flower again and again, "Does my child want to see his father as soon as possible?"
