Chapter 1246: Powerful Miracles

British Civil Service Text Volume Chapter 1,246 Great Strength Works Miracles Just like that, before Alan Wilson left, he still swore that it was an isolated incident.

Even a sitting president can be killed by this method. Is there anything that the United States can't do?

This time, the discussion in No. 10 Downing Street was much more heated than before when news of Kennedy's assassination came. Whether it is Aiden or other cabinet ministers, they all feel the same way.

"Duncan's original death has not been found out to this day." Rab Butler also mentioned Churchill's son-in-law, Defense Secretary Duncan, who was killed while serving as Minister of Commonwealth Affairs.

"In fact, the way he died was exactly the same as that of Kennedy." Aiden recalled carefully that Duncan was indeed shot to death in a convertible, but Duncan died in the colonies, not on British soil.

"What were the results of the investigation at that time?" Profumo asked. He was just an ordinary member of the House of Commons at the time and had not been entrusted with important tasks. He was not clear about the matter.

"At the juncture of disarmament at that time, the investigation report suspected that dissatisfied colonial troops took action due to disarmament and withdrawal. However, due to the limitations of colonial conditions, the results cannot be determined if the investigation is in-depth."

If Alan Wilson were in No. 10 Downing Street, he would be cursing the Americans for plagiarism. He even used a convertible once. After all, the United States is a beacon of the free world, so it cannot change its approach.

The difference is that the direction of Duncan's assassination this time was quite obvious, and the investigation report did not hide the suspect. It’s just that there are so many clues that it’s impossible to find out.

Since then, the Ministry of National Defense has also been more attentive in terms of disarmament treatment. Simply put, it has improved soldiers' retirement benefits and welfare guarantees, etc., to quell possible dissatisfaction due to disarmament.

Of course, the result of this is that the Ministry of National Defense did some calculations and found that disarmament does not save much money compared to no disarmament. It just saves some weapons and equipment procurement costs. The Department of Defense has since lost much of its enthusiasm for disarmament.

The new disarmament plan still requires long-term disarmament, reducing the total strength of the British army to 595,000. Then it will be gradually replaced with overseas troops, which is closely related to and closely integrated with the British colonial independence plan.

Also because Britain's financial situation continues to improve, the Conservative Party is now no longer enthusiastic about disarmament.

In Washington, Lana Turner's high-end apartment, the hostess took the microphone and lowered her voice, "Okay, it's been a long time since we last met."

When talking,

A pair of eyes peeked to the side, fearing to wake up the guests who were resting here.

Lana Turner is overly worried, and Alan Wilson is a pure dead pig as long as he falls asleep, because he himself is in a state of long-term sleep deprivation, and once he falls asleep, he is particularly sweet.

When the Cabinet Secretary, who was running for the country, woke up, he could already hear the sounds of a group of warblers. Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, Joan Bennett.

"Everyone is here. Long time no see, ladies." Alan Wilson greeted him as if he was still hungover, acting like a gentleman in front of ladies of the same status as his wife.

"Just live here like this?" Joan Crawford raised her eyebrows, her iconic big eyebrows were quite smart.

"Otherwise, I only have a few of your friends in the United States." Alan Wilson said as if things should be like that, and then turned to Lana Turner, "Do you have anything to eat? I had a busy day yesterday, and today I am relieved. One breath.”

At different stages of these ladies' lives, he showed up and helped a lot. If he didn't even take care of the food, Alan Wilson thought that this was a bit too much.

After a while, it was four rich women watching a foreign man eating soft food. The scene was very embarrassing, but the Cabinet Secretary did not feel embarrassed. While eating, he watched TV, which reported the news that Kennedy's assassin was shot to death.

"Such a thing could happen." Joan Bennett was full of emotion. He also knew that Alan Wilson was here to attend a state funeral and had met with many political figures before.

"It's not good for you to know too much." Alan Wilson ate the noodles slowly, and unexpectedly, Lana Turner's bottom tasted quite good.

Attending the state funeral was just a formal mission. He came to the United States to communicate about the situation in Southeast Asia. Precisely how to deal with the Sukarno regime, but these ladies didn't need to know.

"Sooner or later the truth will come out." Bette Davis expressed her confidence in the American system after watching the news.

Alan Wilson looked in agreement, and even the poorest patriot in the East End of London would involuntarily puff up his chest whenever he thought of British industry and wealth. It's just that this mentality has now been transferred to Americans, and it is very normal.

Alan Wilson was not familiar with all of Vivian's friends, that is, the twelve female celebrities who were tied up, but the relationship between the four in front of him was really quite good. It was very normal for them to come to the United States to get together.

As for the simple patriotism expressed by Bette Davis just now, he, a British person, will not correct the other person, and it will not affect his judgment on the international situation. There is absolutely no problem in listening to it.

Grain earworm

The United States was blessed with unique conditions in the industrial era. If there is any shortcoming, it is that the terrain of North America is like a big funnel, facing the Arctic Ocean, with mountains on the east and west coasts, and the terrain in the middle is too flat, prone to extreme climates.

If the United States had a mountain range similar to the Qinling Mountains on the border, then the conditions in the United States could really be called a chosen land. If there were another large east-west river like the Yangtze River, it would be perfect.

Assuming the existence of such a water system, it would change the imbalance between the east and west coasts and the interior of the United States. Although the Mississippi River is good, its mouth faces poor Latin America, and it cannot serve as a major artery. It is a pity.

"I'm going to be a guest at the Dulles' house next to talk about things. If the ladies don't mind, you can come with me." Alan Wilson made an invitation, and was greeted by several astonished faces.

"The Secretary of State's family?" Bette Davis was questioning, but obviously eager to try.

"Betty, I almost forgot that you know something about politics and business." Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, "I think we are always friends. Since we are here once, it is always good to help introduce each other."

Of course, this was just one reason. Alan Wilson was a British man. Although he brought an assistant, he was not familiar with the place. Going to the home of a former intelligence chief was really a little scary.

Anyway, he didn't have the image of a gentleman in Dulles's eyes, so he just took a few celebrities and movie queens with him. Safety is above all else, and things like reputation are dispensable.

"I'd love to." Bette Davis was the first to agree. She felt she couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Dulles' home, Langley, outside Washington, is like small towns across the United States and is protected from any outside interference.

But in fact, this seemingly inconspicuous place, no different from any other small town, is the headquarters of the CIA. It is also where the Dulles brothers and sisters often live.

Many intelligence officers and agents also moved their families to various small towns near Langley. After returning from overseas missions, this became their haven.

Some agents even started a real estate business, renting out unused houses before going on business trips. After a few years, they could see the house's value increase when they returned home.

Many people see business opportunities in CIA agents and help them become real estate agents, or help them transport exotic furniture after returning from business trips.

Alan Wilson, riding in McCarthy's courtesy car, surprised Dulles by calling four well-known friends to visit him.

"Allen, you have been wronged to serve the society. If you hang out in Hollywood, I believe there will definitely be a place for you in Vanity Fair." Dulles glanced at the four ladies in costumes and said with emotion.

In fact, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lana Turner, and Joan Bennett were all the dream lovers in the eyes of thousands of Americans at their peak. One can be considered wrong, and the four appear together? Dulles even doubted whether the British gentleman's small body could withstand it.

What if you hadn't threatened me during the Nassau Agreement? Do you think I am willing to be so ostentatious?

"I don't have many friends in the United States. I finally came here once to get together." Alan Wilson lowered his voice with an ambiguous expression, "Why are you so surprised? Didn't you threaten to make it public?"

Just when Dulles was about to say something, Alan Wilson had already completed the transformation from talking like farting, and his expression became serious, "Actually, the purpose of my coming here is to worry about the situation in Southeast Asia. I hope that the United States and the United Kingdom will work together to lift the Soviet Union." The threat posed by the No. 1 regime.”

After hearing this, Dulles no longer paid attention to the ladies in the garden outside, and said hesitantly, "Sir Wilson, it may be very difficult for you. It's not that we are unwilling to cooperate with the British, but it is difficult to start."

Dulles had attacked Indonesia before, but without success. He also used methods to create sexual incidents and support rebels.

There was a military group in Indonesia before, and this group particularly wanted the support of the United States, which made Dulles ecstatic.

As a result, a paramilitary operations specialist and a radio operator were sent to Sumatra, and large quantities of weapons were shipped to the rebels through U.S. military bases in the Philippines. The CIA also recruited three to four hundred Americans and Filipinos and flew them to Indonesia on a transport plane.

During Sukarno's visit, the rebels launched an insurrection in Sumatra, and then the rebel air force attacked Bandung, Makassar, Ambon and other places. But the rebellion was almost quelled, so the United States no longer dared to act rashly.

It can be said that before the Bay of Pigs operation, Dulles first suffered a big loss in Indonesia.

This was not a very good memory for Dulles. Just as he was about to say something, the phone on his left rang. Dulles was a little strange. When he answered the phone, he heard the voice of Elena Dulles. Come on, "Allen, there was a coup in Jakarta, and the Indonesian army was purged."

The words were spoken in English, and Alan Wilson naturally heard it clearly. At this time, the supreme authority was also greatly shocked, and lost his voice, "How is this possible? We haven't received any news."

Who did this? Although he was not completely unprepared, Alan Wilson never expected that things would turn out this way.
