Chapter 1205 Anglo-American Summit

Compared with the same period in history, Alan Wilson feels that Britain and history have changed somewhat. The Nassau Agreement that was blackmailed by the United States should never happen. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Americans will not change their original intentions and want to exert maximum pressure.

From a personal point of view, Kennedy might really want to give it a try. This cheerful American president, known as a weak president in people's eyes, had a surge in support after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Feeling good about himself, he said Maybe they will really make some excessive demands.

"Margaret, Margaret..." Alan Wilson, who had been wronged by the Secretary of Education, hugged Her Royal Highness's delicate body to regain his face. At the critical moment, he was still considerate and understanding, unlike the other horse. Gretel is annoying like that.

Eyes facing each other, the two stood still like sculptures. For a long time, Princess Margaret lay weakly in the arms of the Deputy Secretary-General and whispered, "I seem to be working particularly hard today."

"Are you satisfied, Your Highness?" He stretched out his hand and lifted Princess Margaret's chin. Alan Wilson asked him about why he was preparing for the Anglo-American summit meeting, which caused him to be nervous. It was not because he didn't understand the style.

"It's okay to be rough sometimes. I'll forgive you this time." Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson, "If I hadn't been in London, I don't know how many women you would have harmed."

In order to save the vast number of ignorant women in Britain, Her Royal Highness thinks she has paid too much...

"How could it be? I am completely loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess." The standing deputy minister who raised the trousers could not tolerate innocence and slander, even for a royal princess.

"Put it on quickly, there are so many words to talk about." Princess Margaret glanced at the duplicitous man and reminded her in a strange way.

After a dispute of words, the scene turned into a matter of planning the business layout of the deputy secretary-general as an important member of the royal family. Everything seemed as it should be.

"I heard that Washington is going to hold a summit meeting with us?" Princess Margaret asked. This is not a secret, because the British people have spread it, and there are predictions of the United States' conditions from the worst perspective, such as asking the United Kingdom to put nuclear weapons Hand it over.

This survey caused a huge public backlash. The vast majority of people interviewed, whether they were supporters of the Labor Party or supporters of the Conservative Party, believed that the United States was using NATO's public weapons for private use.

There is also news that France has resolutely rejected the American proposal and ridiculed it.

"There is such a theory." Alan Wilson nodded. As for why the public would know, isn't it because there are government insiders who do not want to be named? For example, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet, etc...

In terms of public opinion,

Don't worry about Ellen Wilson, the richest woman in the UK who is far away in Perth is even better at this.

At No. 10 Downing Street at this time, Prime Minister Eden was reading a document drafted by the current Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet and the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, regarding the UK should proceed from a position of strength and rely on the Soviet Union outside Europe and France within it. The situation created certain conditions for the United States to adopt a policy of favoring Britain.

Alan Wilson believes that the so-called special relationship between Britain and the United States is that the United Kingdom keeps creating new enemies for the United States to divert the attention of the United States and prevent the United States from attacking itself. The United States forces the United Kingdom to continuously transfer sovereignty in exchange for short-term strategic interests. This is mutual blackmail. pair relationship.

Kennedy thought the United States had 800,000 versus 600,000, but Alan Wilson thought the advantage was mine.

The United States wants to dismantle Britain's nuclear weapons and establish military bases. Alan Wilson also wants the United States to quickly establish a Huiying Office to serve his father well. Otherwise, we don't know how the so-called global situation will develop.

So the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet listed 26 policies to benefit Britain, including cultural, military, economic, industrial support, etc., open markets, and monetary policy. Whatever the French pointed at the United States, Britain would say.

Even Prime Minister Eden was grinning. Everything seemed to be fine, but when he appeared in a negotiation, Eden simply suspected that the British Expeditionary Force had just set fire to the White House yesterday.

"Norman, ask Allen to come here." Prime Minister Aiden, who was holding the microphone, asked Norman Brooke to call the deputy secretary-general of the cabinet who had the advantage over me.

Alan Wilson, who had completed life coaching for important members of the royal family, had to obey the words of supreme authority and came to No. 10 Downing Street to meet with the Prime Minister to explain why the United States should sign an unequal treaty.

"We expected that Washington would propose some very unreasonable policies, so we made the British request tit-for-tat. This is not blackmail, but to lay the foundation for a good final outcome."

Alan Wilson explained with a solemn expression, "On the issue of nuclear weapons, De Gaulle showed great disgust towards the so-called unified management of the United States. If the United Kingdom said it could talk to the United States, De Gaulle might be extremely dissatisfied and unite with those who want to The forces of European unity question the reliability of the UK in the European Community. In fact, this doubt has always existed, especially among the French government."

"We didn't, it won't happen at all." Prime Minister Eden refuted this fallacy with dissatisfaction.

"We all know no, Prime Minister. But among European countries, this suspicion has always existed. We have a delicate relationship with France for hundreds of years, as well as the history of offshore balance in the past. It is indeed difficult to explain this problem. .”

Alan Wilson spread his hands, "You can't keep explaining, right? If you always explain that nothing is wrong, it will become something."

"Since the end of the Algerian War, France's authority on the European continent has increased, and the French consider themselves to be the number one army power in Europe. The De Gaulle government has quite criticized the proportion of the French in NATO. In recent years, it has been reducing its own Separate military power. If President Kennedy wants to take the overall situation into consideration, he should adopt a strategy of helping Britain and controlling France, but judging from Kennedy's style of doing things, he may not have a long-term vision."

How can we say that the effective land area of ​​Algeria is not large? It is only 2.4 million square kilometers of land on the books. If you add mainland France, it is 3 million square kilometers. India does not control such a large land.

Even if it is invalid land, it is daunting to look at. Looking at the Soviet Union from the perspective of a major country is optimistic. According to the proportion, it should be compared between Belgium and France, which controls Algeria. It's probably equivalent to the feeling that Mexico has when looking at the United States of America above its head.

"In the current environment, the United States should stand together with the United Kingdom to stabilize the position of the free world. Many diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believe that it is very reasonable for us to take the opportunity to let the United States provide some support to the United Kingdom."

These diplomats with such thoughts were not invented out of thin air by Alan Wilson. Of course, he did not deny it. Almost all of them were promoted by him and had a very similar understanding to the Deputy Secretary.

"The existence of France is indeed worth taking advantage of." Aiden nodded, saying that this perspective was unique in looking at the problem. Regarding France's successful suppression of Algeria's resistance, it must be said that it was not someone's fault of judgment.

Both London and Washington viewed France this way after the war. After France lost to North Vietnam in the Vietnam War, this impression that France was just doing useless work and would eventually accept reality was not weakened, but strengthened.

It was precisely under the circumstances that Britain and the United States had always been unfavorable that France quelled the resistance of the Algerians.

This view is not promoted by Alan Wilson himself, who has indeed noticed this stereotype before.

But the root cause does not lie with him. He can only affect London at most. Why does Washington see it this way?

The reports prepared were not only French ones, but also the German threat theory and the Japanese threat theory. In fact, some of the policies of the United States during the Cold War were not exhaustive. The long-term lack of attention to the exchange rate issues of Germany and Japan ultimately fostered the development of the industries of these two countries.

By the time we got to the Plaza Accord, it was too late to deal with it. Germany and Japan finally squeezed Britain and France to the bitter end. But it later became a problem for the United States. Considering the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, it is not too much for the United Kingdom to draw attention to this issue, right?

The preparations for a summit between Britain and the United States are starting from now on. It also attracted the attention of the de Gaulle government. Prime Minister Eden responded positively to all the concerns of the de Gaulle government.

Eden also clearly realized that France was indeed keeping an eye on Britain's every move. In other words, France's presence of a formidable enemy could indeed be exploited by Britain.

After cabinet discussions, Eden gave Kennedy a positive reply and confirmed that the summit would be held in Nassau. No. 10 Downing Street has released optimistic news, saying that this is a summit that will determine the direction of the world.

As for some recent issues of particular concern to some opposition parties and citizens, they have adopted a conciliatory attitude. For example, the establishment of US military bases and the storage of nuclear weapons in the UK are simply nonsense.

Nassau is the capital of the British Bahamas, located on the north shore of New Providence Island, less than 300 kilometers away from Miami in the United States.

Nassau was a British settlement in the 16th century and developed into a larger town in 1660, then called "Charlestown". It was later named after the family name of King William III of England, Orange-Nassau. The city was officially established and the name Nassau was adopted.

This British colonial capital with a pleasant climate suddenly attracted the attention of the world because it was determined to be the venue for the Anglo-American summit. Especially because in the past two months, peace around the world has undergone a huge test. Not far away, Cuba almost started a war all over the world.

Therefore, after Britain and the United States announced that they were going to hold a summit meeting, this unknown colonial capital was noticed by the whole world. Both Washington and London had already set off, including Alan Wilson himself, who was carrying a huge suitcase.
