Chapter 1168 Prepare to Intervene
This kind of coming and going is normal for Cuba. Not to mention Cuba, even the Soviet Union and certain major countries are often harassed by American reconnaissance forces in this era. This is the nature of the United States. As long as it can be done, I will always do it. The day I don’t do it, the reason is that I can’t do it.
Previous reconnaissance had made the Pentagon suspicious of the Soviet cluster in Cuba, and the continued investigation was in pursuit of the truth. It must be determined whether the Soviet Union deployed offensive weapons to Cuba.
The day's reconnaissance is over again, and thousands of photos will be checked immediately to see if there are any new gains.
At the same time, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building on Whitehall Street, Li Jisheng came after a long journey and was covered in travel, waiting to meet Alan Wilson.
This hidden pile left behind when British India evacuated has worked in a forgotten corner of the world for a long time, which reflects the professionalism of the civil servants of the British Empire. As for accepting money from the three small Himalayan countries, and even India?
This matter can be viewed flexibly. A British person who has traveled thousands of miles to serve on the roof of the world should not be too harsh.
After receiving the call from his immediate superior, the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Jisheng did not dare to neglect and immediately set off from Kathmandu, arrived in New Delhi, took a plane, and returned to London via Dubai. .
At just the right time, Alan Wilson was back when he needed him.
Recalling Li Jisheng is naturally to prepare for the ultimate sublimation of our country. At this time, the UK needs an expert who has been working on the front line all year round and understands the local society, humanities, geographical environment and even all aspects to pave the way for the next response.
Alan Wilson can certainly be considered a semi-expert, but Li Jisheng is obviously more suitable. It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. This is the time when the other party needs to come up with useful information.
Entering the office of the Executive Secretary, Li Jisheng was actually almost sixty years old, almost at retirement age. And he is facing the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who is more than 20 years younger than him, waiting for his future.
"Long time no see, Richardson." Alan Wilson was very enthusiastic when he saw Li Jisheng and asked him to sit down. He was as polite as when he was in New Delhi, and it has not changed with time.
"Sir Allen." Li Jisheng breathed a sigh of relief. The young big shot was still nostalgic.
The world is unfair. Opportunities don't always appear, but when they do, you must seize them. Pamela Mountbatten happened to be in New Delhi, and Alan Wilson met him by chance. He immediately started to kneel down and lick everything with a plop.
Otherwise, even if he wields the power from the Golden Temple in India,
It may not be so easy to become the right-hand man of the supreme authority at this age.
"Richardson, you are fifty-seven years old, right." Seeing the other party nodding, Alan Wilson said in a sympathetic tone, "The local environment is a bit harsh, although you may not always be in Kathmandu, but Living in New Delhi during the winter is not an option after all. Regarding your work in the next few years, considering the outstanding contributions you have made to Britain, I... Sir Norman, the supreme authority, is also very concerned about your work. "
"I think so. It would be a pity if your overseas work experience was wasted. Moreover, the freedom of working overseas is far greater than that at home. If you have been abroad for many years, you may not be able to adapt to the restrictions when you return home."
"But I still found a good place for you. The local conditions are quite good among overseas colonies. You are free to choose between the Legislative Bureau and the Executive Bureau of Hong Kong."
Although there was a huge age difference, Alan Wilson spoke like this to an old diplomat at this time without any embarrassment, as if everything was as it should be.
This is also true. During the British Raj, Alan Wilson was already the Commissioner of Hyderabad, albeit relying on bribes, and later became the Assistant High Commissioner of British India, of course, still relying on bribes.
The freedom of working overseas mainly refers to this aspect. The subsequent career is not only determined by bribery, but it is not completely unrelated to money. He confused Pamela Mountbatten with diamonds.
"I heard that Xiangjiang is very prosperous." Li Jisheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he represented the British Empire in the Himalayas, the local environment was indeed harsh, and he suspected that he died young.
If Alan Wilson knew Li Jisheng's worries, he would tell him that the worries were unnecessary and that this guy would live a long time.
"Yes, prosperity is real, the only entrance to a big country. Oh, by the way!" The boss's concern for his subordinates can be over. Alan Wilson's recall of Li Jisheng is not dedicated to showing respect for the elderly and caring for the young. He has his own Purpose, "You have been in contact with New Delhi. I heard that India is implementing something called the Forward Policy. What do you think?"
"I have indeed heard that everyone in the New Delhi government is full of confidence in the brave move." Li Jisheng said knowingly, "Many Indians believe that they will eventually achieve their goals."
"Oh, that's right. Wish them good luck!" Alan Wilson raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he was quite satisfied with this fact. This time, our country, Britain, has made a big splash around the world and consolidated its influence as a world power. It fell on the British Empire. The former pearl is on.
"Does the Deputy Secretary-General have a different judgment on this matter?" Li Jisheng asked with some doubts when he saw Alan Wilson's strange reaction, "As far as I know, it is still generally calm."
"How dare I have any opinions about such a big and prosperous country? He is the leader of the Third World and the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement."
Alan Wilson took a sip of the wolfberry and commented in a neutral tone, "Not only have you worked in the subcontinent, I also have experience working there. I also have the Indians' self-feeling debate mentality. Know something."
The entire Indus River Basin has been transformed into a country called Pakistan, and the Ganges Delta, which has a status similar to that of a magical city, has also been lost. He is still full of confidence and full of expectations for the future. What can he say, and what qualifications does he have to say?
India's geographical environment is quite poor. The Ganges River Basin, which is like the water of life, is home to almost 80% of the country's population. However, when people living there look to the north, they can only see the towering Himalayas. What does that feel like?
It probably feels like the top of Mount Tai, plus the entire Indus River basin was lost, and a piece of the Ganges estuary was cut off. Is this such a big and impressive country? Only junior professionals would think that India's external environment is very good, which is simply extremely bad.
A few decades later, when Indians look at a certain big country, they will look at the island chain of the United States the same way as a big country looks at the island chain of the United States. A certain big country is facing an island chain, while India is facing a string of pearls blockade and maritime suppression by US imperialism. How can it be intuitive that a chicken's butt is sitting on the head of Indians?
This sense of oppression is more terrifying than the peak of the Soviet Union hovering over the head of a big country.
Such geographical conditions do not prevent Indians from being confident and firmly believe that the future belongs to India. What nonsense is this?
But for a country like this that he despises anyway, Alan Wilson still wants to guide Britain to save it. Who told him to bomb Somalia? You have to pretend that it's time for the Cuban Missile Crisis and Britain is very busy.
Only the final battle at the top of the Himalayas is hot enough, which is more suitable for me, the great hero, to sublimate himself.
Otherwise, when the United States sounds like the leader of the free world and orders everyone in the world to disobey, how can the UK have an excuse for not doing its job?
Rescue must be carried out, but the aura that India has had since its independence must be dispelled. A certain big country can achieve this through war, but how can it be easy for Britain, which has the hegemony of public opinion to support it?
The British must bring hope to India. In exchange, they will wash away every bit of India's prestige in the world after independence.
"Richardson, it may be a little embarrassing to say it. You have to make a detailed report on the forward policy. It's best to do it quickly and then hand it over to me." After sighing for a while, Alan Wilson was about to let Li, who went to Xiangjiang for retirement, Ji Sheng, standing guard for the last shift.
"I know!" Li Jisheng promised, saying that he would prepare immediately and make sure White Hall would be satisfied.
After Li Jisheng left, Alan Wilson looked like he was thinking, picked up the microphone and said, "Contact the ambassador to the United Nations and ask Palden Dundup Namgar, the Crown Prince of Sikkim."
"Are you dating an American woman? What kind of relationship are you talking about? Let him come to see me right away."
Alan Wilson was so angry. How long had it been since he didn't take advantage of this time to gain a sense of presence and fall in love? Is the Ocean Horse so attractive? Don't tell me, it's really attractive.
Thanks to the revered Marshal Mountbatten being his father-in-law, Alan Wilson also entered the Armstrong Shipyard and visually inspected the progress of the third Warrior-class attack nuclear submarine. The first two have completed sea trials and are only one step away from service. , the first Resolve-class strategic nuclear submarine is also nearing completion.
Once all construction is completed, Britain will have fifteen nuclear submarines in service, including the Dreadnought nuclear submarine. In addition to the Dauntless, there are six attack nuclear submarines and eight strategic nuclear submarines.
In a hidden room, under various instruments, CIA agents were nervously developing the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane from Cuba. Thanks to the advanced technology of the United States in this regard, all the photos were very clear.
SS4 medium-range ballistic missile, the Pentagon generals looked at each other after seeing the aerial photos, and made sure again and again, but they still couldn't believe the evidence in front of them.
As it became clear that this was no longer a problem that the Pentagon could solve, the aerial photos were sent to the secretary of defense, and a few hours later, they appeared at the White House.
"Ask the Secretary of State, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Attorney General and the FBI and CIA." For a long time, Kennedy, like a head of state in the destruction of an empire, ordered in a tired voice.
