Chapter 1301 Mediation Suggestions
,
"Of course I don't think India will lose. What I said about helping them is only at the economic level. In fact, for countries like India with low human rights, they can get through the difficulties if we don't help them."
Alan Wilson explained to his wife the importance of helping India. The situation in India is obvious. With the size and population of India, you cannot turn a blind eye to him no matter what. It is resistant and has the advantage of low human rights, so it is best not to offend it.
Of course, the advantage of low human rights is also an advantage. Isn’t it nothing that an epidemic in the United States has killed more than one million people? Open-air cremations in India have been seen by American satellites. What else is the country doing?
To occupy India with a heavy blow through war means, in theory, only the Soviet Union can do it, but in reality, no country can do it. Although the Indian army can only fight one wave of wars, it is considered to be one of the few powers in the world. , at least if India wants to attack Portugal, Goa will definitely not be able to withstand it, so it followed the example of the Rhodesian royal territory and surrounded itself with minefields.
Britain has ignored India this time. Will it not want to reconcile with India in the future? It is better not to damage relations with India.
"From your attitude, I know that Whitehall is now paying more attention to the India-Pakistan war than the Vietnam War. It is really a place where there is a place. Australia is obviously more concerned about the Vietnam War. If Indonesia were not at home, Australia is about to enter the war." Pamela Mountbatten poured a glass of milk and drank it with a gulp.
"Isn't that a good thing? The world situation is intertwined, which is a good thing for us, a country that cannot compete with the United States and the Soviet Union in terms of national power, but is influential." Alan Wilson still feels that his betrayal of Indonesia is really a patriotic move. From the British I can’t say how good the choice is, but it’s not that bad either.
If he were a socialist, Brezhnev should have given him the Grand Gold Star Medal. It was a stroke of genius that greatly expanded the Soviet Union's influence in Asia. Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia, even if it loses half of its land. The labor force of 80 to 90 million people can still be of some help.
Although betraying Indonesia may have some consequences, for example, if the Soviet Union disintegrates, the Soviet system countries in Asia may remain, just like North Korea, Vietnam, and Laos.
But that is a matter for the future. He can't control so much now. That is to say, Britain now has little territory in the Americas. Otherwise, it will move from one betrayal to another. It is best to support a few pro-Soviet countries in Latin America. , so that the United States can be more honest.
It is better to compete with each other all over the world than to compete with strategic determination in Europe. Those third world countries themselves are the role of the chessboard, and it is better for them to die than to suffer in Europe.
“It’s just that Indonesia has too many people.
It would be better to have less. "Pamela Mountbatten lamented the pressure on Australia, which her husband could not relate to. Compared with the pressure that Western Europe is now under, Australia's pressure is nothing at all.
"What you should consider now is that after the Vietnam War, there will definitely be a large number of illegitimate children in the United States who will be homeless. Are the Korean orphans that were adopted at the beginning useful? If you think it is useful, you can continue. This is also a good thing. After all, Americans They are also unfilial sons of Britain. When we help them sometimes, we are also helping ourselves." Alan Wilson slapped his forehead and thought of the Korean orphans in East Malaysia. If it weren't for their help, Grace would not have been able to kill Syngman Rhee. So easy.
These carefree war orphans must be useful, otherwise the Yulin Orphans would not have specially selected orphans to form an armed force.
The Mountbatten Group cannot rely entirely on those Balkans. In many places in Asia, white faces are very conspicuous. In some countries, women take the initiative to stick to it, while in other countries, they are reminded of the crimes of the colonizers. No matter what the situation is, it is too noticeable.
With these war orphans, the problem is much smaller. There is no shortage of mixed-race faces in Southeast Asia. Slightly different characteristics will not attract attention, and things will be much easier. The Cabinet Secretary has a dark heart and likes to use the descendants of American soldiers to do things for him.
"If the United States can stabilize the situation, these illegitimate children will not be exiled on a large scale." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in surprise when she said this, "Do you mean to lose the war?"
"I didn't say that. You can just say that the strategy will change. Don't question my judgment, just be prepared." Alan Wilson said with an expression that reflected the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
Anyway, from any point of view, the United States has no possibility of winning unless it crosses the 17th parallel. However, Alan Wilson cannot say that the Americans are timid. Compared with Ukraine, where even the air force was not willing to send out troops, the Vietnam War still showed that. Full of martial virtue.
It can be seen that even when faced with an enemy who is also in a diode state, the United States has made choices. I believe that after the Vietnam War is over, the United States will evaluate a certain major country at a higher level.
At the Brussels meeting, EC member states also talked about African issues, especially France's discussions with Rab Butler, or testing Britain's response to the expansion of Soviet power in Africa.
The political situation in Congo-Brazzaville has changed. The "August Revolution" broke out in the Republic of Congo, also known as the "Three Glorious Days". The Yulou regime was overthrown. Masamba Deba became the prime minister of the interim government. At the end of the same year, he was elected as the president. He announced The Republic of the Congo "takes the road to socialism."
The Congolese government took over the log acquisition monopoly from foreign timber companies and nationalized the foreign companies and the forest concessions they managed. In addition, industrial sectors such as textile mills, fish processing plants and small shipyards were established to develop the national economy.
In terms of agriculture, the Congolese government has put forward the policy of "agriculture as the basis and industry as the driving force" and has taken various measures to organize labor to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land. On the basis of carrying out land reform and restricting the power of national dignitaries, each province, county, and district established its own farms and launched a large-scale production movement.
News came from Brussels that Alan Wilson was discussing with Prime Minister Eden whether the European Community would implement an integrated approach to the European Community's national oil reserves.
"Congo-Brazzaville is that French colony." Aiden remembered that these countries were one of the colonies released by the French. "Are the French going to interfere? Why are they asking us for our opinion?"
"For whatever reason, it is a French colony, and the relationship between France and the Soviet Union is ambiguous. If we get involved, will France betray us in two years? And to be honest, the situation in French African countries is unstable. Maybe It was the French who did it intentionally." Alan Wilson talked about the fact that French Africa had frequent coups. "We still don't want to listen to what the French say. If the French want to take action, there is no problem with the French's own capabilities."
Any attempt to form a British-French coalition will be shamefully defeated by the spokesperson of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Even more than two million square kilometers of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been lost. Do you still care about a Congo-Brazzaville?
"With the current distribution of British overseas troops, sooner or later it will have to be more tolerant towards African colonies. Since the independence of Yemen, Nyerere has also expressed through the local high commissioner that he wants to start an independence agenda. The local high commissioner is communicating with Nyerere on the main issues There is also the famine problem in Southern Rhodesia, which has led to the current armed conflict. The situation on our side is also very complicated and we cannot help the French."
Alan Wilson's meaning is very clear. British Africa is not completely fine. Now there is no time to wipe the butt of French Africa and interfere in an already independent country. It's not that the French don't have this ability, and they obviously have to use their backbone when discussing with the British.
Eden also agrees with this view. It should be that France is looking for things for the UK to do at the EC meeting and wants to distract the UK. Maybe it is really a test.
After all, the relationship between Britain and the United States and the relationship between Britain and France have always aroused the suspicion of the de Gaulle government. The French always feel that Britain is disloyal to Europe.
This suspicion is of course justified. If you look at the recent concerns, they can be found everywhere, but they have nothing to do with Europe.
The battle for Kashmir continues. A fierce tank battle broke out between India and Pakistan around Jambu. The leading troops of the Pakistani Army quickly arrived in the Jambu area. The Indian army continued to retreat because it was outnumbered.
However, in order to withstand the rapid offensive of Pakistani tanks, the Indian army dispatched bombers to conduct indiscriminate bombings, causing a large number of Pakistani infantry casualties and damaging tanks. The two sides immediately launched a war of attrition in Jambu, causing heavy casualties on both sides.
The skies over Jammubu were not peaceful either. In the 1960s, American aircraft designers and air force decision-makers believed that missiles determined everything, and "take off-search-lock-launch missile-disengage" would become the basic mode of air combat. The Pakistan Air Force is equipped with the world's most advanced radar systems and Sidewinder air-to-air missiles on its US-made Saber fighter jets.
With the technical superiority of the air force, Pakistan pursued the victory, forced across the Devi River, and launched a life-and-death struggle with the Indian army at the Driti Fortress. In the end, the Indian army was defeated without the support of the air force, and the Pakistani army took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Driti.
The unfavorable situation in the Kashmir war has put the Shastri government under tremendous pressure. After a night of discussions, with the support of various parties in India, Shastri decided to expand the war. The battlefield is not limited to Kashmir. India must use Only with the advantage of large size and spreading the battlefield to the hinterland of Pakistan can the current passive situation be changed.
India reopened the southern front battlefield and sent an army of troops to attack, which caused a shock in Karachi. Once there is a problem on Pakistan's southern front, the entire country of Pakistan will be plunged into war.
While India and Pakistan were fighting a real war, the Soviet ambassador to the UK came to visit with Moscow's sincerity.
"Ambassador Victor, it is better to be in Stockdelmo. What kind of neutral country is Switzerland? It is surrounded by NATO countries. Sweden is the real neutral country." Listening to the mediation suggestions of the Soviet ambassador in London, Alan Wilson responded positively .
