Chapter 1207 Nassau Talks

This attitude was intolerable to Dulles, and the United States did not make all-out efforts in the Korean War. It has no impact on the economic development of the United States and is not even a warm-up.

Even when the war was going on, the scene of the United States being vibrant and flourishing was still before our eyes.

Could it be that only ten years have passed and Britain is already so distrustful of the United States? This is simply unreasonable.

"With just one surgical strike, we can solve the potential nuclear threat." Dulles looked enigmatic and wanted to show his fist in front of his father, "We have a comprehensive nuclear war plan."

Alan Wilson does know that nuclear attacks were indeed carried out during the Kennedy era. After all, a major country at this time was basically similar to Iraq when it faced Israel. Didn't Israel also take preemptive strikes?

If he remembered correctly, one hundred and seventy-seven large and medium-sized cities in a certain big country should be on the list of the first batch of nuclear strikes.

"The question is not what will happen to them, but the reaction of the Soviets... If Washington launches a nuclear attack on them, the Soviet Union's response will become the top priority." Alan Wilson seemed like Chamberlain and Daladier were still alive. tone, continuing his cause of appeasement, "The Cuban Missile Crisis has caused shock in Europe. If the United States first goes from another direction and once again puts nuclear weapons into actual combat, what will the Soviet Union think? What will our allies think?"

The question is what did a certain big country do? This is not the problem at all. For the United States, the key is the attitude of the Soviet Union. As for the Soviet Union, it was the attitude of the United States. As long as the question of the Soviet Union's attitude is not resolved, it does not matter what the attitude of the United States is.

I don’t know if this is the idea of ​​some high-level Americans or if Kennedy had imagined it this way, but the chance of success is zero. The Soviet bloc is currently limited to quarrels. If you go up there, you will send nuclear bombs?

Alan Wilson simply could not imagine the impact this would have, but he did not stop it. Everything that needs to be said has been said. Can the United States defeat the Soviet Union? Impossible. Since it's impossible, it can't be done.

After bidding farewell to Dulles, who came to the British Bahamas to inspect the confidentiality work, Alan Wilson turned around and informed Prime Minister Eden of the matter, saying that these Romans who had achieved hegemony could not bear to cause trouble. .

"How can Americans have such rash thoughts now?" Eden acknowledged Alan Wilson's response, and then said, "The United States is very worrying about the issue of war. Your reaction is correct."

"But I think it may not be effective. Those Romans now think that they don't need the help of the Greeks."

Alan Wilson said insinuatingly,

The current relationship between Britain and the United States is quite delicate. "After the war, the goblins in Zurich shorted the pound many times. In fact, we know very well who the source of the shorting of the pound is. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, I hope the United States can realize that the Soviet Union is the real enemy of the United States. Britain can be a good ally."

"This may be a difficult summit." Eden looked at Ma Chai and Foreign Secretary Rab Butler and said, "We may have had a wrong understanding of Kennedy as a person before."

"Recognizing this cannot be said to be a mistake. After all, Aramco gave Saudi Arabia but did not compensate American oil groups. Using government power to test pressure on the steel industry, Wall Street's dissatisfaction is real."

Alan Wilson introduced, "Kennedy's current high approval rating is because of the Cuban Missile Crisis and his appropriate response in the eyes of American citizens. But in fact, American citizens do not know that the United States privately evacuated missiles from Turkey. If they knew, high support would be It’s hard to say how the rate will evolve.”

"Our bargaining chips are not as small as we thought!" Alan Wilson was ready for Huiying's conditions. This summit was not coming all the way to add to Kennedy's reputation.

"We have nothing to compromise. Cooperation is based on equality." Aiden set the tone for this summit, and Lab Butler immediately nodded in agreement.

"With the current state of the United Kingdom, it is entirely possible to proceed from a position of strength, listen to what the United States is going to do, and then tell the Americans what we are going to do." Alan Wilson followed the train of thought of the two diplomatic leaders, "With just three thousand and five With the million-ton steel base in Kuching, we have nothing to ask of the United States.”

Britain must live up to the value of united front, and at this stage of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Alan Wilson feels that the time is not bad.

God knows how bad the British economy was in history, but it actually accepted the unfair agreement of the United States one month after the Cuban Missile Crisis?

He even doubted whether Macmillan had any information in the hands of the CIA, but since taking up the post of Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee, he had carefully investigated and at least confirmed that Eden had no direct or collateral relatives who had been dragged into the trap by the United States. , the only problem is that Aiden is drug dependent and has been forgiven by a British citizen.

It's like Iran gave twelve missiles, which the United States said was a violation of Iraq's sovereignty.

Assad withstood the siege of the opposition forces, and Arab countries regarded Syria as an important force in the security of the Middle East.

This is sometimes the case. It is better to kiss the United States early than to kiss the United States late, and it is better to oppose the United States than to be pro-American. Britain is not ready to fight against the United States yet. What happened to Hui Yi? If it can benefit Germany and Japan, can’t it benefit Britain?

On the 18th, U.S. President Kennedy arrived in Nassau with Secretary of State Dean Rusk in a confident mood.

British Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secretary Rab Butler expressed their welcome to the US President and Secretary of State. The accompanying reporters took pictures of the friendly and cordial scene between the British and American heads of state. The British-US summit that has attracted special attention from all over the world has officially begun. Even the Charles de Gaulle government in Paris is particularly concerned. Agence France-Presse stated bluntly, "Whether Britain is the leader of Europe or follows the instructions of North America will become clear in a few days."

This report straightforwardly explains the French's attitude towards the Anglo-American summit. Similarly, the two female presidents of Woodpecker Pictures are also inseparable from the money they received.

In this era, Europe's voice in public opinion has not completely declined. Alan Wilson remembers that Europe lost its voice after Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi. Before that, Berlusconi’s traditional media empire was still quite influential in Europe.

To put it simply, the traditional media empire was destroyed by the Internet hegemony of the United States. After Berlusconi, the voice of European media has become much smaller to the naked eye.

The meeting between Kennedy and Eden can be described bluntly with a slogan. The special relationship between Britain and the United States is still at a macro level. The specific negotiation matters, broken down one by one, must have nothing to do with the president and prime minister.

That was a matter between Dean Rusk and Rab Butler. The seat next to Rab Butler belonged to Alan Wilson, the Permanent Under Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At this time, his eyes were all on the millet flag in front of him. It explains to the United States that nuclear forces should be used together and fall within the guidance framework of NATO, with one ear going in and the other out.

The United Kingdom must support the United States' multilateral nuclear force plan. The United States can use the British nuclear strike force through NATO and make the British nuclear force subordinate to the United States' nuclear force. The UK is only allowed to use its nuclear forces when its paramount interests are seriously threatened.

"Ah..." Alan Wilson yawned long and said boredly, "Very good, next time there is something like the Cuban Missile Crisis, Britain can look forward to having the same status as Turkey. The Soviet Union's Central It seems that Britain will also have a place for long-range nuclear missiles.”

"Sir Wilson, once the nuclear forces of the NATO nuclear countries are together, we will have an overwhelming advantage facing the Soviet Union." Dean Rusk calmly persuaded, "This is a good thing for Britain, the United States and France. .”

"Hasn't the Secretary of State read the recent French newspapers? The de Gaulle government does not think so. Moreover, nuclear missiles have the most overwhelming advantage in their own hands. After all, this thing is most powerful when it is on the launcher but has not yet been launched. .”

Alan Wilson smiled and said meaningfully, "So it seems that the UK has no need to accept this very unreasonable request. In terms of economic and trade cooperation, we do have certain ideas about the United States should support the UK. In Germany and Japan I think we can talk about the two countries’ positions on exchange rate manipulation.”

The support provided to Germany and Japan during the Cold War was not an unfathomable means. Now Germany and Japan have competed with British industries to varying degrees. At this time, Alan Wilson solemnly declared, which can be regarded as clarifying the issue, "U.S. Do you support the British proposition? Or give Britain, Germany and Japan equal economic and trade status. This is the basis for cooperation."

"Sir Wilson, the British economy is fine. We all see it." Dean Rusk frowned and replied.

I thought you didn't know? Alan Wilson calmly took out the twenty-six articles of Huiying and read them one by one. As the articles deepened, the American diplomats on Dean Rusk's side frowned.

This is simply unprecedented blackmail! People who don’t know thought the White House was burned down just yesterday.

"I really hope Sir Wilson is joking." Dean Rusk said this and his attitude became tougher. "Things like the Imperial System of Preferences that are very contrary to the spirit of free trade still exist. The United Kingdom requires the United States to take care of Britain's economic exchanges? This What kind of spirit is it?”

"We believe that the United States still needs Britain's help in terms of global interests." Alan Wilson said without changing his face. "This is an obvious fact, not an illusory phantom."
