Chapter 1228 Epic Masterpiece

Of course he knows that the so-called anti-imperialist and anti-feudal editorials are nothing more than spouting nonsense. A certain big country has no strategic projection ability, not at all.

Even a little bit, he would not cooperate with the Soviet Union on the Indonesian matter. After all, there are still many Chinese in Indonesia, which can be regarded as a bit of a foundation. After all, Sukarno is an independent leader in Asia, and it is possible to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Not smooth.

But the problem is that we would rather place our hopes on the Soviet Union than have wild imaginations.

Even if Alan Wilson knew that the Soviet style would definitely establish the majesty of the Laozi Party after success, he had to do this.

Good people in this world have no say. Even the Soviet Union, which seems not to be trifled with, is always hostile. Not to mention the much weaker second most powerful country in the Soviet bloc. The United States keeps launching wars and claiming that it represents the world. No one can do anything about it. It is not that the United States is a good person, but that it is strong enough.

If one day the United States is no longer strong enough, and other places are still open to debate, the world of peace teaching will definitely let others see that the national quintessence does not only belong to a certain country.

Therefore, Alan Wilson cannot make the mistake of capitulationism. Anyway, when a big country jumps ship, it is hostile to the entire pro-Soviet country, and it does not care if Indonesia is added to the list. It will have too many debts.

At Hoxon Manor, Pamela Mountbatten had a good chat with the visiting representatives of the three major American grain merchants.

"Dollars, pounds, francs...dollars, pounds, francs." The sound of money smelled like the wheels running along the road repeated tenaciously.

They tried to say something on the sparsely populated manor road, but it was difficult to guess what kind of foreign currency they were talking about this time due to the discordant tapping sounds. . In the back, behind the car window, there is a green building. Through the door hole, you can see the empty room, the stone home that seems to have been frozen forever, and the rose bushes in the yard that are soaked by the drizzle.

The servants of the manor looked at the immature vineyards, the uphill roads almost ruined by green plants and the cheerful cars of various colors with lazy and indifferent eyes.

The energetic American was still talking about the gains from meeting the mistress of the manor, lazily passing the time at the manor.

Alan Wilson, who returned to the manor, glanced at the uninvited guests through the window and sighed, "If they weren't very polite, I really want to drive these Americans away."

"My dear, if you want to, it's absolutely fine." Pamela Mountbatten appeared holding up her skirt, just in time to hear her husband complaining. At the critical moment, she still believed that the unity of husband and wife was more important, since her husband wanted these People leave,

Then they should go.

"You're kidding, after all, they are just a few giants in the international grain market." Alan Wilson sat down and showed his superb and flexible bottom line. Don't test the bottom line of the Cabinet Secretary-General. The Cabinet Secretary-General will tell you that it is unfathomable.

"What is their purpose? Didn't I say before that they were interviewed by Kennedy?"

"The appointment is real, and it's also true that I don't want to give in." Pamela Mountbatten turned around and sat next to her husband, muttering enthusiastically, "Hundreds of tons of gold, even if the national treasury needs gold more than us, but The bonds and cash issued also made me make a lot of money this time. How could they not be jealous? Speaking of which, this year is really good. The silver sell-off is over, but it is rising steadily. I regret it a little. "

"This kind of skyrocketing of anything is not right." Mentioning the silver issue, Alan Wilson also smiled. He finally got rid of the situation of being burdened with hundreds of millions of debts. All previous debts were written off with the sell-off of silver.

Most of them belong to ladies of the same status as their wives, but some are borrowed from Newfoundland. This is a credit issue for the Cabinet Secretary, which is no small problem.

I don’t know if Kennedy discovered that silver fluctuated. Theoretically, he should have discovered it, but if there was no reaction, it means that Kennedy didn’t care about silver fluctuations.

Maybe the silver party members of the US Democratic Party are still cheering for the rise of silver. Who knows?

However, Pamela Mountbatten mentioned that several grain merchants still refused to give up. This is a bit strange. Normally, the power of the sitting US president is very great. The general group would not launch an attack at this time. The three major grain merchants actually Still not convinced, now you come to the UK to discuss cooperation?

"Do they think they are Kennedy?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but murmur in his mind. Is the convertible already ready at this time? Just wait for the current president to arrive in his loyal convertible and have a good laugh?

Alan Wilson's face was uncertain. It was not that he had any objections to the Kennedy family, he was just simply curious.

Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband who was so bad-tempered, but she never expected that her husband could be so bad, "Weren't you supposed to arrive yesterday? What were you busy with in Whitehall?"

Gu Xie

"Operation Ballista!" the absent-minded Alan Wilson replied without thinking.

"What?" Marshal Mountbatten was born in the navy. Pamela Mountbatten had never heard of the famous ballista operation. "You want to disarm the French navy?"

"What?" Alan Wilson was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "It's not about disarming the French Navy. This time it has nothing to do with the French Navy, but the meaning is similar. The Soviet Union gave Indonesia a fleet, which may subvert the Royal Pacific Fleet. Local control and plans may not be implemented even if they are made, so don’t think too much about it.”

Operation Ballista was the British attack on the French Navy in World War II. After France surrendered, Britain across the Channel faced tremendous pressure, and Europe also ushered in its darkest moment. At this time, the French Navy was still intact, with as many as nine battleships, and Germany had no intention of utilizing this naval force at this time.

However, Britain was always worried that this powerful maritime force would serve the Germans, so "Operation Ballista" officially began. As for the goal of the operation, it was to capture or destroy the French navy.

As a result, they took refuge in Portsmouth, England, and Alexandria, British Egypt. The French battleships, including two battleships, were directly disarmed and fell into British hands.

Other French fleets that were not on the mainland were passively beaten by the British navy and suffered heavy losses. The battleship "Bretagne" was sunk, the battlecruiser "Dunkirk" and the battleship "Provence" were severely damaged and stranded. Only the battlecruiser "Strasbourg" managed to escape to the mainland port of Toulon.

This gift package sent by the Soviet Union to Indonesia was a threat to the Strait of Malacca in the eyes of the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson thought so too. He wished he could sleep with one eye staring at the Suez Canal. As a result, another golden waterway might choke Britain, which was intolerable.

We must find a way to deal with the second largest fleet in Asia that appeared out of thin air. The specific plan and timing of action have not been decided yet. It is best to take advantage of the chaos while the Indonesian military and Indonesia are fighting together.

If there is no such opportunity, just say that the Indonesian Navy is the focus of infiltration by pro-Soviet forces. Anyway, sailors are always a destabilizing factor. Imperial Russia and Germany both died in sailor uprisings, and it is easy for Americans to believe it if they frame it.

For Americans and a handful of British people, the release of the epic blockbuster Cleopatra is obviously a big event this year. Elizabeth Taylor is a famous British actress, and Hepburn is the pride of Britain in this era.

The film generated a powerful buzz before it was released. Elizabeth Taylor's makeup and decoration expenses during the filming of the film were as high as 200,000 US dollars, including 65 sets of costumes, one of which was actually made of 2 Made of fourteen carat gold cloth.

The three-year filming cycle, the scandal between Elizabeth Taylor and the leading actor Richard Burton, etc.

Elizabeth Taylor also returned to the UK to promote and frequently appeared on various occasions to increase the popularity of Cleopatra.

"I feel like this movie won't be very successful. I heard it cost 44 million U.S. dollars. 1.25 million ounces of gold, 35 tons? Americans are rich."

Alan Wilson hugged Vivien Leigh, the heroine of the 1945 version of Cleopatra, and watched the report on Elizabeth Taylor on TV. He lazily commented, "This time Britain sold grain to the Soviet Union, ten movies were lost in one movie. One percent.”

"When Taylor is popular." Vivien Leigh has already faded out of the film and television industry. She has no special opinion about Elizabeth Taylor and will not speak ill of Elizabeth Taylor just because she has played the same role. "Maybe it will be successful."

"No actor in the world is worth thirty-five tons of gold." Alan Wilson yawned, then tilted his head and said to Monroe, "Of course our goddess Monroe is an exception, I hope The Truman World With your joining, we will achieve great success.”

If nothing else, Vivien Leigh can consider doing something with 20th Century Fox. This movie will pawn off 20th Century Fox's pants. This is an excellent opportunity to merge with such a well-established film and television company.

There is no such store after passing this village. Therefore, Alan Wilson made a bet with British Treasures in the name of a man with the same status as her husband. This epic film is destined to lose blood. If he proves his judgment, it will be a joint venture. When American Pictures attempted to acquire 20th Century Fox.

"You must not have any sympathy at that time. The opportunity to change the pattern of Hollywood may not come once in ten or eight years." Alan Wilson suddenly slapped his head, "I'm afraid that the US government will set up obstacles. If If possible, Ms. Monroe, can you help Vivian, you are an American."

"If it's really what you said, I'm definitely willing to help." Monroe tilted her forehead slightly and pointed her beautiful chin towards this man.

Alan Wilson stared directly at Monroe's face and nodded meaningfully. Why is it always so easy to make profits? It's really annoying.
