Chapter 1226 The Journey of the Tsar’s Son

"Hong Kong is an issue left over from history in the hands of the British. We must believe in the wisdom of future generations, and this issue will be solved by then. We have never ignored this fact." Alan Wilson stated his position strictly in front of Dixon, "This is different from more than two years a year. billion, it has nothing to do with trade. Please ask the de Gaulle government not to discuss the two things together."

"Ultimately, France's current unusual diplomatic actions may cause problems for the unity of the free world."

Repeating the British diplomatic position, Alan Wilson did not forget to sow discord. From the perspective of values, don't forget that a certain major country has always refused to recognize Algeria as part of France.

"Secretary-General, we have not recognized it either." Dixon had to remind in a low voice that Britain did not recognize France's rule over Algeria, but took a stand with the United States.

"Delete what you just said and let's start from the beginning." Alan Wilson didn't feel ashamed at all. Can a person with shame do diplomatic work? It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

It is not appropriate for Britain and France to recognize each other's colonial sovereignty, at least for now. This will have to wait until the United States, with the heart of a beast, enters Vietnam without looking back, and then there will be room for mutual recognition between the two countries.

Moreover, Britain's decolonization will continue, and it is best to get rid of some colonies of little value. For example, Yemen in the Middle East has nothing but its strategic position. It cannot be said that it has no oil at all, but it does not have much.

The next step in the contraction of the Persian Gulf is to retreat to places with Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates as the core, including Qatar and Bahrain. British power cannot decline. If the power is not enough, it is not impossible to withdraw from Yemen early...

"Colleagues have discussed this, and some colleagues think partition is better." Dixon said of the Yemen issue, "Yemen naturally has the basis for partition. Shias and Sunnis not only have similar populations, but also live in similar places. Each side occupies half of it, so if you want to divide and conquer, it will be easy.”

"So we will not choose partition." Alan Wilson vetoed the decision discussed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "The report on maintaining the independence and integrity of Yemen's sovereignty will be handed over to the minister as the only feasible report."

Partition is not a tradition of British colonial management at all. There are many countries in the world that were merged by Britain. If nothing else, South Africa was created through merger.

The example of British India was just an isolated case because Ali Jinnah was unwilling to live in a country with Hindus. This is the fact, but now it seems that even if we look at this issue from the British perspective, we must admit that Ali Jinnah's persistence, apart from hurting India, was a good thing for the whole world.

"If the prime minister has no objections to this, negotiations with local Yemeni elites can begin at any time.

Of course my personal advice is to have a good talk with Shia. And although we adopt an attitude of preserving the sovereignty and independence of Yemen. But if Yemen has its own civil war, it has nothing to do with us. "

Alan Wilson can conclude that once there is a civil war in Yemen after independence in the future, the blame will definitely be placed on the United Kingdom, at least in the eyes of the Soviet bloc countries. This is almost inevitable, because the United Kingdom is really the suzerain state of Yemen.

If you don't say that colonialism is really a mess and adopt partition and rule, people will say that you deliberately divide us. If you adopt a merger, people say that if you want the other party to have internal conflicts, no matter how you deal with it, it will be a mess.

"The opinion of the Ministry of National Defense is that the 6,000 troops stationed in Yemen should be transferred to Oman and stationed there. That's it."

"Is it to contain the Soviet Union's attempt to move south?" Dixon asked. After all, no one paid attention to the Baghdad Treaty, and the cooperation between Britain and the United States in the Middle East still remained at a very low level. The root cause was Israel and Iran.

"Let the locals realize that Britain is containing it, but in fact we do not have the ability." Alan Wilson corrected Dixon's self-feeling, "The Soviet problem is destined to be a long-term problem, and the struggle is best limited to the diplomatic and economic levels, but You just can’t think about the military.”

Not to mention the Soviet Union, which made Europe sleepless and sleepless, the Russian Federation was the weakest in Russian history. That is something that no country in Europe can fight against.

Even if Russia is the weakest in history, it still has the ability to break the pot. If it doesn't want to pass, it will drag you along to bleed. Is there anything you can do?

We are all poor together, and Europe still has a damn psychological advantage. Is it possible to hypnotize oneself by looking at the living standards of the United States across the Atlantic Ocean?

To be honest, Europe's natural resources are not very good. Even if it were at the level of a certain big country, it would not be so afraid of the Soviet Union. But the problem is that the natural resources of the European Great Plains are not on par with those of India.

Excluding Eastern Europe, can you believe that Britain is the country with the most balanced natural conditions in Western Europe? There are coal mines, iron mines, and North Sea oil in the country. If it is limited to Europe, it can be called a unique talent.

Gu Fan

However, the quality of British iron ore is only 30%, and the quality of coal mines is also below the world average. The cost of North Sea oil is also higher than that of the Middle East and North Africa. At this level, it stands out from Western Europe. Western Europe is not as good as Eastern Europe in terms of natural resources. Compare.

If you have to compare, it is probably similar to the comparison of natural resources between a big and prosperous country and a certain big country.

In a high-end apartment in the capital Moscow, which the Cabinet Secretary-General described as a life-and-death enemy, a dignified female voice shouted, "Alexeyev, you can't go."

This emotional voice belonged to the most powerful woman in the Soviet Union, Fortseva, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee.

The boy who was reprimanded by the culture tsar stood up straight, with piercing eyes, but he unconsciously turned to one side, which was obviously deaf.

Fortseva had served as the Minister of Education, so she knew very well that her son was dissatisfied, and she showed her experience in education. This time she must make her son give up his mind, "I can ask Semichasny to terminate your application to go abroad." .”

"Mother, of course you can do this. You have the power. But you must also remember that your power comes from the party and the people and should not be used in this kind of place."

Alexeyev's face was sullen, not mocking his mother's educational failure, but telling the truth, "I communicated this matter with a good attitude. If you can't convince me and use your power to prevent me from going abroad, you may be in trouble." Our mother-son relationship was damaged beyond repair."

"How could you talk to your mother like that?" Fortseva's chest rose and fell, forcing herself to calm down. "Alexeyev, do you know what the situation is in Indonesia? It's very dangerous there and you can't go there."

"Of course I know everything! I read the report you submitted to the Presidium of the Central Committee." Alexeyev shrugged, "The imperialist Pig Nipple planned a coup in Indonesia, and you and some members of the Presidium of the Central Committee suggested to prepare a good response Work. I applied to the General Administration to work in Indonesia. What’s wrong?”

"That will put your life in danger, I don't agree." Fortseva angrily refused, then her tone softened, "My child, my mother is fifty-three years old, what should I do if something happens to you? That's good. If you want to be promoted faster, you can do it at home. Didn't you capture Benikovsky again?"

"I have to thank my mother for this. But I have my reasons." Alexeyev pondered for a moment, then lowered his tone and sat down face to face with Furtseva, starting this time's persuasion work, "We are in a What kind of world is that? Dear mother."

Before Fortseva could answer, Alexeyev continued, "In Cuba, as usual, people are harvesting sugar cane all year round, but they are still hungry. There is no harvest in Somalia, and the hungry people are bored and fighting each other. Massacre. In Colombia, people not only harvest cocoa, the main cash crop, but also coffee, but they are also hungry. The constant famine has probably become a symbol of their country, as people now say: it has become their national culture. And what about the Soviet Union? Here, people are busy building barricades next to the White House model with steel bars, cement, and prefabricated panels, while drinking Porto wine. They have been noisy for several days, repeating one sentence over and over again. , proletarians all over the world unite..."

"And what about the other side? The imperialists are making paper and printing penniless money on that paper. But it doesn't matter. The problem is that, for historical reasons and national motives, they are trying to revive with these notes. The smart people there want currency It can bring about a new turn for the country.”

"Although their pounds and dollars are not more valuable than rubles. They are deceiving other countries and letting others starve and look forward to a better tomorrow of capitalism. Many people have never experienced this kind of pain. And they are full of fat. Stand aside and watch, mother, should this world continue?"

Fortseva opened her mouth, then finally shook her head and said, "I understand the truth, but you are my child."

"I believe that every child is the treasure in the mother's heart." Alexeyev responded gently to his mother's love.

Fortseva wanted to say something else, but the phone rang at home. Alexeyev quickly picked up the phone and said in front of the cultural tsar, "Comrade Chairman, of course there is no problem. My mother is very supportive of me." The decision taught me that I must work hard.”

"If that's the case, that would be the best." Semichasne's voice seemed to be relieved, and he warned, "Alyosha, you hang up in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and work directly in the Jakarta embassy. This should be enough." No problem."

"I always obey all the arrangements of the organization." Alexeyev said this and added, "My mother also supports my decision and looks forward to making some achievements."

Alexeyev then handed the microphone to Fortseva and waited for the cultural tsar's answer.

"I have no problem, Alyosha has grown up too." Faced with her son's gaze, Fortseva reluctantly expressed the same meaning.
