Chapter 1263: Loving the King Means Loving Iran

,

There are now two powerful maritime forces in the South China Sea. The one currently conducting exercises is the British Royal Navy. The other one is much lower-profile. There are even suspicions of using the British Royal Navy to conceal Chen Cang. It belongs to the US Navy. Mountbatten also knew this. Du Ming said, "Alan, how long do you think the peace in Indochina can last?"

"Marshal, how do I know this? But it is true that the United States is not easy to win." At this point, Alan Wilson no longer needs to deceive his father-in-law.

It’s not that the United States is weak, it’s that the United States has chosen an unwinnable model. Or, like a certain big country, fight a fast-forward and fast-out battle, achieve the goal through a short but high-intensity exchange of fire, and then unilaterally declare victory, and don't be sloppy in withdrawing troops.

Or it's like the Korean War. Anyway, it has reached this point, and the country behind North Vietnam is talking about it as fart.

But the United States did not choose. It chose the most difficult path. It increased the pressure step by step but gave North Vietnam time to adapt. In the end, it lost all its pants.

Alan Wilson remembers that after the Vietnam War, the Pentagon generals were very dissatisfied with the U.S. government and wondered why the government made the stupid decision not to bomb the 17th parallel north.

The US government is also dissatisfied with the Pentagon. Except for the 17th parallel, which one did not agree to the Pentagon, which one does not follow the Pentagon's wishes? How dare you blame the government if you fail to win?

"I understand the truth, but even France has expressed its intention to solve the Vietnam issue from a political level this time. De Gaulle's attitude is similar to the Soviet bloc's proposition. All parties intend to reopen the Geneva Conference." Mountbatten sighed, Vietnam Just a dozen years ago it was a French colony, and even the sovereign country sided with the hostile camp.

As Mountbatten was talking, he looked stunned again. He saw his son-in-law taking out a small notebook and taking notes, "Alan, what are you doing?"

"To prevent the Geneva Conference from being held, Switzerland is not a neutral country at all." Alan Wilson replied without thinking, without bothering those Swiss bankers, who always felt that they could deal with the pound.

The Cabinet Secretary remembered that the United States created the Gulf of Tonkin incident when even France was leaning toward the Soviet bloc's views and restarting the Geneva Conference. This is enough to show that the United States is unwilling to solve problems through political consultation. Nonsense, the battlefields have been selected at the Pentagon, and you can negotiate if you want. How to solve the problem of food and clothing for millions of workers?

There are certain risks in starting a war in Vietnam, which is next to a big country.

But it has to be better than Iran, which is next to the Soviet Union. The former can still be compared. Although the US military feels that a certain big country is not easy to mess with, it will be fine if it is careful. But the latter is not a threat at all.

"Diplomacy is such a headache, and our Prime Minister is still flocking to it." Alan Wilson lamented, why does Eden like diplomacy the most? When it comes to almost every matter, there will be different positions. In order to better cooperate with the United States on the Iran issue, the United Kingdom has just repaired the mutual accusations caused by the establishment of diplomatic relations with France.

Now, in order to use the special relationship between Britain and the United States to attack Switzerland, Britain must also bring down the Geneva Conference and create opportunities for the United States to take action.

The person affected by Britain's traditional adaptable diplomacy is George Blake, the British ambassador to France. In the past six months, he has experienced a transformation from anti-French to pro-French and then anti-French.

Although this is what diplomacy is like, isn't it too chameleon-like? It has been less than a month since he restored diplomatic relations with France, only two weeks to be precise.

Ambassador Diamond couldn't help but complain in his reply, "France has used Britain as a punching bag for Americans in foreign affairs magazines. This is very embarrassing."

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about. This is a fact." This is the reply of Alan Wilson, who is also the permanent deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "The UK has been pro-Russian and anti-Russian, pro-French and anti-French, pro-German and anti-Russian. Well, this is diplomacy. Now we must accommodate the wishes of the United States and stand by the United States on the Indochina issue."

"The United Kingdom and France do not agree on everything. For example, on the Iranian issue, didn't you have a good talk with the French? They also believe that the withdrawal of countries from Iran will reduce friction, so they say that once One code equals one code.”

"The French people's tendency to think highly of themselves and look down on others is really annoying." Although Alan Wilson was in London, he laughed at France in front of Ingrid Bergman. "At the beginning of the year, the Japanese business community When I visited France to discuss the development of semiconductors, French public opinion was ridiculed. Isn’t that just looking down on the Japanese?”

"Stop saying a few words, and it seems that Japanese semiconductors are indeed not strong." Ingrid Bergman also knew this. "The strongest semiconductor industry is the Americans."

"It's not good to always treat moments as eternity." Alan Wilson shook his head. "France has declined, but it still can't change this problem."

"You are becoming more and more conceited now and like to give orders." Ingrid Bergman whispered, "Don't forget the hard times we spent together." Gu Bo

After all, the age gap exists objectively. Even if Ingrid Bergman tried her best to make herself younger, if this man hadn't firmly reflected it, she would have wanted to go under the knife to see if she could return to her youth.

"Always talk about this kind of unreasonable worry." Alan Wilson couldn't help but promise again that he will never be tired of the old and must always like the new but never get tired of the old.

Recently, Alan Wilson has really tried his best to unite allies to support the United States and safeguard Iran's sovereignty and independence. Even by Washington's most stringent standards, there is nothing wrong with the level of hard work.

The layout of the UK is still a little short of the mark. Although the layout of several key areas is close to completion, if nothing unexpected happens, it will take a few more years to establish an economic circle that can be advanced, retreated and defended. The Middle East provides energy, Malaya provides production bases, Hong Kong and London serve as financial centers, and then wait for a series of events such as the over-issuance of the US dollar and France's backstab to occur.

Before the darkness before dawn, Britain had better cooperate with the needs of the United States, including Iran and Vietnam. In his opinion, it is a good thing.

Don't think that if countries withdraw from Iran in name only, the United States will rely on funds to support pro-American Iran. This is impossible. The United States will not support late-developing countries that do not have military bases.

What's more, by supporting Iran's ability to surpass the United States, Iran is positioned as a resource country by the United States. Iran's population also makes it difficult for the United States to benefit.

There is no peace of mind without the support of the United States without military bases. Iran has a large population and cannot achieve decisive development by selling resources. This was the dilemma of the Pahlavi era. Once Iran chose to industrialize, it would be a country that would undermine the balance in the Middle East, and the United States would not agree.

Therefore, Iran will not stabilize just because it is nominally neutral, and U.S. financial support cannot prevent Iran from becoming more unstable due to its population increase.

After two months of diplomatic efforts, through the special channels of the Five Eyes Alliance, Alan Wilson informed Washington that Britain had successfully persuaded Germany and France. At the same time, it provides an excellent reason to use Indonesia's change of color as a reason to reasonably prevent Iran from becoming an arena of great powers. Even the Soviet Union has few ways to counterattack, because Indonesia is indeed rapidly turning red.

If the Soviet Union refuses to leave, this problem will not only be a problem for Iran, but also a problem that the entire Middle East is waiting to see.

After getting rid of Mossadegh, Pahlavi did appear to be working hard to govern. Although anti-Pahlavi people dismissed this, people are forgetful. This declaration of safeguarding Iran’s sovereignty was also valued by the Shah of Iran. After receiving the arrangements from the United States, Pahlavi formally informed the ambassadors of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France and Germany that “the number of diplomats in Iran must be reduced. Iran cannot let what happened in Indonesia happen to Iran again."

After personally informing the ambassadors of the five countries about Iran's attitude, public opinion in Iran began to build momentum and praised His Majesty the King for his brave actions. The slogan "Love the King is love Iran" was heard endlessly.

Tehran launched a grand parade to support the king. I wonder if the people participating in the parade have forgotten that they also supported Mossadegh in this way once upon a time.

In this kind of public opinion, the ambassadors of the United States, Britain, France and Germany expressed their views one after another, understanding Iran's concerns and supporting Iran's assertion of sovereignty and independence. At the same time, they stated that the largest embassy and consulate in Iran was the Soviet Union, and they hoped that the Soviet Union would set an example. Promise to give Iran a secure status and reassure the Iranian people.

"Iran's worries are rooted in the changes in Indonesia. In fact, many Middle Eastern countries have this kind of worry." The Daily Times started this public opinion guide, and soon the Times and other major British newspapers followed suit. Iran's concerns are justified.

Agence France-Presse and the Associated Press also followed King Pahlavi's appeal, saying that the issue of sovereignty was the biggest issue, in order to put pressure on the Soviet Union.

Compared with public opinion in the United States, British public opinion is more reserved. The New York Times pointed the finger directly at the Soviet Union, believing that it was the Indonesian coup that shocked the entire Peace Church world.

"It depends on the Americans if you want to be criticized. Speaking across the Atlantic is tough." Alan Wilson teased when he was with the Prime Minister's private secretary Brest.

"Secretary-General, which aspect?" Brest frowned, not quite understanding the specific direction of Alan Wilson's words.

"The United States stands on the moral high ground and kills without blood. The most irrefutable example of this is that when Germany still had considerable resistance, it called for unconditional surrender early. It forced Germany to fight to the death in Europe. You have to know the Germans The memory of surrender is the Treaty of Versailles. Surrender is so miserable, wouldn’t unconditional surrender be even worse?”

"Earlier, was there such a thing as unconditional surrender in European wars? Think about it carefully!" Alan Wilson spread his hands and lamented the unfathomable depth of the city on the top of the mountain.
