Chapter 1184 I Save World Peace

Isn't it? God knows how much energy Alan Wilson spent persuading Grace to delay the ambitions of these Balkans until this critical moment. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was worthy of being an Englishman and had done everything for this ruined empire.

According to the current information, the cut-off piece of land is less than 100,000 square kilometers. Of course, in terms of minerals, it is the most valuable piece of land in Katanga. Grace and the others have been very restrained and suppressed it. greedy.

It won't work if they don't suppress it. If they expand their occupation of land, it won't be possible to expel hundreds of thousands of people.

Alan Wilson is already very satisfied with this result. Now that the protrusion of Northern Rhodesia, which was cut into two short parts, has been resolved, according to the previous agreement, the schedule for Northern Rhodesia to be transformed into a royal territory can also be arranged.

Although the Cuban Missile Crisis and the United Kingdom could not actually help much, the war against the two most populous countries was just a bluster. In the end, it could only show the majesty of the old rulers in Africa, which is the easiest to bully.

But the result is good. The current situation in southern Africa is nothing more than the British and Portuguese groups seeking warmth, and the Belgian colony of Rwanda, which has only a small piece of land left.

Rwanda, a country later known for its massacres and later the rule of political strongman Paul Kagame.

Although it is not large in area, there are signs of its rise. However, Alan Wilson believes that it remains to wait and see whether it can rise. It is not that Africa has never produced political strongmen, and there are also some who are quite good.

But most of them are overthrown inadvertently, and the few political strongmen who firmly control the power will also die once they die.

Paul Kagame's level is quite high. He governs Rwanda so well that it hardly looks like an African country. He also swallowed up hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Katanga, Congo. But once he dies, will his successors be able to achieve this level? You must know that Ethiopia has done well before.

Belgium's remaining Rwandan colony is not large in area. After Congo's independence, it is estimated that the Belgians will not take Rwanda too seriously. The countdown to the demise of Belgium's influence in Africa has begun.

Excluding Portugal's relatively stable colonial power, there is Rhodesia to the south of Northern Rhodesia, and South Africa further south. Rhodesia and South Africa were two white African regimes that were horns and supported each other during the Cold War.

The Rhodesian War lasted until the 1980s, and it was not until the 1990s that the white regime in South Africa fell. From now on, the Territory of Northern Rhodesia may be the longest-lasting white power.

Relying on these remnants of World War II who refused to change despite repeated admonitions and were never shot unjustly,

The black community in Northern Rhodesia has been wiped out. As long as several Slavic groups and Belgian immigrants are engaged in civil war, the area is unlikely to suffer external threats.

At this time, Alan Wilson did not know that the Rhodesians would soon see the situation in Northern Rhodesia and prepare to seek medical advice from him, the Deputy Secretary-General. He was still in Moscow, fighting fiercely with the Soviets. Confrontation.

Generally speaking, regardless of the issue of political correctness, Britain's interests should not be damaged in the short term.

During the Thatcher era, the issue of political correctness was really not considered, and the relationship between Britain and South Africa heated up sharply. But the cost was also huge, and the Commonwealth almost fell apart.

In the Kremlin, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko was complaining that a certain British guy who was hiding in the embassy was "so cowardly, what on earth did he come to Moscow for?"

“Maybe it’s to avoid being talked about Lubumbashi.” Furtseva said after hearing this, “But it can’t be seen now that the UK took advantage of the time when we were entangled with the Americans to figure out a plan to attack the UK. Words of trouble."

What the Soviet Union does not lack most is the various generals left over from World War II. Holding the shape of the map of Northern Rhodesia, you can see at a glance that this is the salient problem that occurred again and again during the Soviet-German war.

The term "bulge" caused several bloody battles between the Soviet and German armies. It was even used by Soviet generals with military experience. When they saw the map of Northern Rhodesia, they immediately thought of central breakthrough, flanking outflanking, etc. Series vocabulary.

Move to seize Lubumbashi and solve the problems left over from the post-colonial era in the Northern Rhodesian Territory. It can be seen that the British have gained a lot from this Cuban missile crisis.

"So what? Britain and the United States wear the same pants." Gromyko said with a confused head.

"What's different is that British capital, dominated by the richest woman in Britain, is different from American capital. It's like British capital during the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. At that time, British capital pursued globalization. The United States resisted by adopting high tariffs. Today, American capital pursues globalization, while British capital relies on Britain’s imperial preferential system to resist. Comrade Gromyko, you should read more of Comrade Suslov’s research.”

Fortseva explains the difference, saying capital has different characteristics at different times.

Before World War I, capital was firmly bound to the country. Except for the United Kingdom, many countries were the backbone of the country's support and drove the country's external expansion. The reason why the United Kingdom did not do this was because the United Kingdom itself was the world's biggest gain at that time. For example, British capital promotes globalization.

Now the situation is reversed. At that time, American capital, which supported high tariffs to protect itself, became the main promoter of globalization. British capital relies on British national power and uses the imperial preferential system to resist the expansion of American capital.

The former themselves hate the existence of this model of the state, because it makes them feel uncomfortable.

The latter must rely on the power of the state to protect their interests. Of course, the two are not completely incompatible. Once the country-based party cannot resist the international capital side, the idea of ​​cooperation will arise.

If Alan Wilson were here, he would definitely have something wonderful to say. However, in the 21st century, the British capital and American capital mentioned by Fortseva have been reversed. British capital has lost all industrial capital and transformed into financial capital. It can only go to the dark side.

Changes have occurred in the United States. After all, the United States is a country with a population of 300 million. Finance cannot provide employment for such a large population. This has led to globalization reaching a certain stage. The capital in the United States has not deeply entered globalization and has stopped working. American industry has already It has been seriously corroded by international capital. Not many benefits have been obtained, but a large number of people are not living as well as before.

There are only 50 million people in the UK, so the transformation will be transformation. In the United States, more than 300 million people are engaged in finance? What a joke!

"So, comrades! Let us give Britain and France a step to explain the Cuban Missile Crisis on the grounds that Britain and France mediate and worry about European security." Fortseva elaborated on her point of view, which is more acceptable. .

In particular, the hard-line forces within the Soviet Union would be dissatisfied if they bowed to the United States.

Faced with the steps handed over by Britain and France who offered to mediate, the Soviet Union could accept it. This was originally the purpose that Britain and France were so serious about this time.

Brezhnev was about to speak, but he swallowed his words and turned to Kozlov, "Comrade Kozlov, you are the second secretary, and your opinion is very important."

Kennedy received two letters with different wordings. The second letter, which was obviously more tough, was influenced by Soviet hard-liners. The representative of this hard-liner was Kozlov. Kozlov had good relations with the Ministry of Defense and military industrial enterprises. Relationship.

"Ilyich, this matter!" Kozlov opened his mouth, but in the end, out of the need to maintain Khrushchev's authority, he nodded with difficulty, "Okay, just emphasize the mediation of Britain and France in the diplomatic field, and the cooperation between Europe and the United Kingdom." For security reasons, reply to the United States."

"This is okay, provoking conflicts between Europe and the United States due to different interests this time. I don't believe that European countries have no idea about the strong reaction of the United States, especially the French."

Gromyko also changed his tone, "Then in our public statement, we will add content about Britain, France and Europe. The British permanent undersecretary can no longer hide in the embassy and must be with us."

Saturday. Moscow Radio broadcast Khrushchev's reply.

The letter said: "I fully understand the concerns you and the American people feel about what you call offensive weapons. This is indeed a terrible weapon. You and I both understand the nature of this weapon. To To eliminate this conflict that endangers the cause of peace as soon as possible, in order to provide assurance to the people of all countries who long for peace, the Soviet government, in addition to the previous order to stop construction at the weapons construction site, has now issued a new order to dismantle what you call offensive sexual weapons and packaged them for shipment back to the Soviet Union."

After this open letter, Soviet Radio and Television used a huge space to introduce the British and French diplomats staying in Moscow to explain their concerns about European security issues.

Alan Wilson did not expect that he would be pulled out by the Soviet Union at this time and used as a shield.

He was hesitant at first. After all, such a big thing always comes with risks. Is it too big to attract attention?

But when you think about it, this is a major event when the world is facing the threat of nuclear war. In other words, it is about saving the world. He must not evade, it’s settled, I will save the Cuban Missile Crisis!

After returning to the country, I regarded this contribution as a glorious resume in my life. Now it is time to call for peace on behalf of the UK and show the UK's huge influence in protecting Europe.

There are not many opportunities for a British permanent secretary to write a signed article in the Soviet Pravda. But he did it this time. Europe, the birthplace of modern civilization, stayed away from the threat of nuclear war in his articles.
