Chapter 1208 Cordial and Friendly Negotiation

"On such a solemn occasion today, I don't want to emphasize the threat of the Soviet Union in a cliché. Two months ago, the United States felt it personally, and the United States is still making confused judgments. I am very worried about the future of the United States."

The threat of the Soviet Union cannot be overemphasized. Even Alan Wilson felt that Russia after its disintegration would be difficult to deal with.

Think about the economic aggregate of the United States itself plus the European Union. Even if Russia's economy is underestimated due to sanctions, the gap is astronomical, but so what? It’s not like Europe and the United States have become disgraced.

The total economy is 40 trillion, but the economy of 1500 billion has been held back. It shows that Russia is really angry and how embarrassing it is to Europe and the United States. The economic gap is more than 20 times. For comparison, that was before sanctions. Comparison of the economic aggregates of Venezuela and the United States.

It has only been a month since the Soviet Union shipped nuclear missiles from Cuba. Why is the United States talking about unifying its nuclear forces?

When World War II ended in 1945, Britain wanted to rule the world together with the United States. Today, it is far less difficult than it was then. How can it be difficult to imagine being a follower of the United States?

"The unification of nuclear forces will help increase the trust between Britain and the United States, unless Britain believes that its special relationship with the United States has come to an end." Dean Rusk began to threaten with a cold face.

"You'd better talk to the de Gaulle government about this... I think the countdown to the disintegration of NATO has reached." Alan Wilson was unmoved in the face of this threat, "Dear Secretary of State, you should know something. The United States can Europe has stood firm, and the UK's assistance has played a big role."

"The French government has always advocated European independence. We and France have different understandings on this point. But if it is forced? It is not impossible to have a unified understanding. If that happens, can the United States still stand in Europe?"

Alan Wilson reminded Dean Rusk, the US Secretary of State, that the history of the establishment of NATO was that Britain contacted France and took the initiative to make the United States the leader of the European alliance. Once Britain and France feel that their interests have been harmed, will the United States be able to stay stably in Europe? But an unknown.

"The United States is defending the freedom and stability of Europe." Dean Rusk emphasized, almost tilting his desk.

Alan Wilson took a tactical step back and retorted calmly, "It is to make Europeans think that the United States is protecting Europe's freedom and stability. Do the Soviets know? Likewise, France does not think that the United States is defending Europe."

Before Dean Rusk could refute anything, Alan Wilson added another sentence, "The United States didn't win the Korean War. It couldn't even win the second-largest country in the Soviet bloc. Why do you think the Soviet Union is afraid of the United States?" That’s why they didn’t take action against Europe because of the number of troops stationed in them?”

This was already contempt for American military strength, although Alan Wilson had said it once before in front of Dulles.

But what is the occasion? This is a formal meeting of the Anglo-American summit. He said this, almost questioning the capabilities of the United States.

Dean Rusk glared, then looked at Rab Butler, "Foreign Secretary, I want to know, is this voice a common understanding of the British diplomatic team?"

"Dear Secretary of State, this is only the understanding of some people." Rab Butler smiled and smoothed things over, and then asked, "I wonder if it is the common understanding of the American political circles to integrate British and French nuclear weapons into the common nuclear force?"

While Kennedy and Eden were posing for photos of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the diplomatic teams of the two countries immediately broke down.

This left the two big men in silence. The two of them were mentally prepared, and through this meeting, they knew to a certain extent what the other party's purpose was.

Kennedy knew about the existence of Huiying's 26 Articles. In his view, this was British blackmail against the United States.

Eden also knew that the United States really wanted Britain to hand over the nuclear weapons that it had devoted so much effort to putting into actual combat after the war.

Alan Wilson reiterated America's breach of treaty on the authority to use nuclear weapons, and President Truman tore up the shared nuclear program, causing Britain to suffer huge losses.

In terms of trade protection, Alan Wilson mentioned that the United States secretly set up obstacles to prevent the British Comet airliner from entering the U.S. market until the Boeing airliner came out. This is not the case at all when dealing with Japan and Germany. They try their best to cultivate and consciously let Germany and Japan compete with Britain and France.

"When dealing with the Soviet bloc, Washington was submissive, and dealt with allies with heavy punches. The result was the Cuban Missile Crisis, and now European countries have increased distrust of the United States. At this time, the United States also hopes that Britain and France will include nuclear weapons. under the command of the United States.”

Gu Yu/span> Major newspapers in London expressed their concern about the Nassau Conference, which also aroused the support of Agence France-Presse. The De Gaulle government has declared to the outside world that "France's nuclear weapons belong only to France and will not be handed over to anyone, whether it is an ally or any country."

The stance of the de Gaulle government aroused huge repercussions in Europe, and many European countries recognized it. Britain and France had conflicts with the United States on this issue. Although France did not participate in the negotiations, it has been expressing solidarity with Britain.

Ladies of equal status with their wives in Bonn, Paris, and London are also paying attention to how their men are doing in Nassau.

Alan Wilson was certainly trying his best to safeguard British interests, like a repeater repeating the Twenty-Six Articles of Huiying. Let the United States open its market, provide unconditional aid, and face up to Japan and Germany’s exchange rate manipulation.

As for handing over nuclear weapons, don't even think about it. The Huiying terms can be negotiated, and other matters will be discussed later.

"Perhaps the UK thinks that it no longer needs the help of the United States? Is it the war in Asia and the dispatch of the Royal Navy that caused the UK to have an illusion of thinking? Others don't understand. Doesn't the US know that the UK's so-called saving India is a joke? "

Dean Rusk directly exposed the public opinion that India was able to escape unscathed only because of British intervention. This is simply a lie. Without Britain, the war would have ended.

"Well said, now let's talk about what the same actions of the United States mean during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Maybe we should inform people around the world about the United States' withdrawal of Turkish missiles and let them know that during the entire crisis, the United States Did it succeed in making the Soviet Union retreat in the face of difficulties?"

Alan Wilson joked in a sinister way, "Of course the United States can send nuclear missiles back to Turkey. I believe that with the national power of the United States, it will be able to scare the Soviet Union. So what if it doesn't keep its word? Does the Soviet Union really dare to tell the truth? But then Coupled with the public opinion in the UK, it won’t be so easy to stick your head in the ground and act like an ostrich, right?”

The atmosphere at the meeting venue has become increasingly heated. Both sides are using practical actions to prove what the true special relationship between Britain and the United States is. Dean Rusk expounded a basic fact in a reminding tone, "Don't forget that the UK is not big. So far it is still a colonial country.”

Alan Wilson stood up directly and performed a show of walking away in front of Dean Rusk.

In the eyes of the Americans, this is the difficult British diplomat who has been grasped by the United States and is at a loss for words. The departure of the opponent can prove that although the process is tortuous, the United States has gained the upper hand in this meeting.

But within ten minutes, Alan Wilson came back dragging a large suitcase. He opened the suitcase unhurriedly, took out a fifty-page investigative report, and read out, "1950 In July of that year, when a group of ragged North Korean refugees approached a U.S. military position next to a railway bridge, the U.S. soldiers stationed there opened fire on them, and then planes joined in the strafing, killing at least 300 people, most of whom were women and children."

“A sudden air strike on an island near Incheon in September killed more than a hundred civilians.”

"In January of the following year, U.S. Air Force planes dropped napalm bombs on civilians hiding in a cave in Danyang County, North Chungcheong Province, killing more than 300 people. Both air strikes were conducted during the day, with good visibility, and there was no misjudgment."

"This is a photo taken by British diplomats at that time." Alan Wilson walked around Dean Rusk holding the bound version of the photo. "Dear Mr. Secretary of State, the United States is indeed not a colonizer. The command of the Korean military is still in the United States. In the hands of the headquarters, right? The situation in Japan is similar to that in South Korea."

"I personally don't learn to ignore it. Graduating from Oxford University was a complete accident. With my shallow knowledge, I don't understand the difference between the current status of Japan and South Korea and the colonies."

"With the current level of poverty in South Korea and South Korea's de facto military-style government, if this incident is known to citizens around the world, I wonder how the United States will deal with this public attack?"

"Also! This is the record of murders and rapes by US troops stationed in Japan in the past ten years." Alan Wilson smiled and took out a thicker investigation report, "More than five thousand cases, which the Japanese government can record. Add up It’s really appalling.”

"First of all, I am not blaming the US soldiers stationed abroad, because the British army is not very kind in the colonies. Of course, it is still much kinder than the US military. I only want to explain that if we look into the definition of a colonial empire, it may It will be embarrassing, and it will definitely not be embarrassing to the UK, as the whole world knows that the UK is a colonial empire."

All the documents and photos taken out were carefully recorded. In fact, the Koreans themselves knew that the multiple massacres by the US military were also the reason for the anti-American wave in South Korea in later generations.

This time, as expected, the talks collapsed again. Dean Rusk accused Britain of betraying the trust of the United States in its allies and actually investigating sterilization.

"If the United States had not wanted to apply similar treatment to the United Kingdom, I would not have taken it out. The United States is still a trustworthy beacon. The United Kingdom is willing to archive these documents and not publish them. After all, when it comes to facing the Soviet Union, , The UK does not want the reputation of the United States to be damaged, so how can the UK really care about some isolated incidents in Japan and South Korea?"
