Chapter 1322 Guiding Nyerere

"Did something big happen today?" Pamela Mountbatten had just arrived home when she learned about this big event that could be called an earthquake in the free world.

"That's not a big deal. It's only when my lover returns to China that it's a big deal." Alan Wilson put down his wife's luggage and opened his mouth with a PUA, leaving the female CEO completely unaware of where she was.

"I just know it's nice to say that the child is still here." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at the shocked children and pursed her lips as a reminder.

I had just arrived home, and it was obviously a time when my relationship was at its peak. If it hadn't been for the rather unpleasant call from No. 10 Downing Street, this would have been a beautiful day. Pamela Mountbatten watched her husband answer the phone, and said with soft eyes, "Go ahead, you are still the Permanent Under Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When you get back from get off work, I will cook you something delicious."

"This is good news." Alan Wilson looked forward to it, picked up the briefcase and walked to the door, "Don't worry too much, I just came back."

Prime Minister Harold Wilson is holding a cabinet meeting regarding France's withdrawal from NATO. George Brown, Secretary of State and Economic Affairs Secretary; Patrick Gordon Walker, Foreign Secretary; Denis Healey, Defense Secretary; James Callaghan, Chancellor of the Exchequer, are all present. What is analyzed is naturally the cause, process and result.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet was not a cabinet minister. Alan Wilson was unable to attend the meeting and was only called in temporarily. When the Prime Minister asked, he replied, "It may be the reason for the four hydrogen bombs that made France determined to make it." made such a decision.”

Alan Wilson was referring to the Spanish plane collision two months ago. Now the whole of Europe knows that it was a bomber and a tanker that collided. In order to save their lives, the American pilot dropped the hydrogen bomb he was carrying into a small town in Spain. For The Americans have always been tight-lipped about the crash. For such a long time, they relaxed the ban and allowed the Spaniards to cultivate the nuclear-contaminated land.

The fourth hydrogen bomb was never found, so the Americans wondered whether the powerful KGB had taken it away. Through active questioning by the Americans, the Soviets simulated the conclusion and immediately made their conclusion public.

Only then did Alan Wilson remember that this had indeed happened in history. The Soviets only speculated that the United States' nuclear materials in Spain had leaked, but he knew that the United States almost sent a simulated nuclear explosion to Spain. Under the cover of the Soviet voice, it was made public.

News of the plane collision over Spain, which almost led to Spain being denuclearized, also spread throughout Europe. The United States chose not to say a word, which further fueled this suspicion.

The local residents were kept at home by the Americans for more than two months, and the news was blocked. After they went to farm at the crash site, they got news from the outside world that Spain was almost nuked by the Big Brother of the Free World.

Looking back now, the most heated discussion happened half a month ago. It is a bit far-fetched to link this incident with France's withdrawal from NATO, but Alan Wilson speculated like this, who can do anything to him? The dropped hydrogen bomb did not explode. If it did explode, who knows what the final outcome would be?

"There is no inevitable connection between these two things, right?" Defense Secretary Dennis Healy frowned. The U.S. hydrogen bomb fell, but it was still far away from France.

"Perhaps the French believe that these hydrogen bombs are for defense against France." Alan Wilson shrugged. "France has indeed not been very satisfied with the United States in recent years, and the French understand this."

"The U.S. concealment of the collider incident was first disclosed by the Soviets. It did have a bad impact, but we can't tell whether it was the cause of France's withdrawal from NATO." Harold Wilson muttered slowly, " But this really makes everyone very passive, can we make de Gaulle change his mind?"

Several cabinet ministers were not confident. Finally, when the Prime Minister's eyes fell on Alan Wilson, he simply replied, "No, De Gaulle wants to drive away the US military in the country for more than a day or two. With this hydrogen bomb, He will never change his mind about what he has lost.

actually? "

"Actually what?" Harold Wilson saw that the Cabinet Secretary was hesitant to speak, so he could only urge him, "Alan, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."

"If we predict that the French will not compromise, then the next question arises. If the nuclear weapons placed in France by the United States are to be withdrawn, they must be placed in a country." Alan Wilson said this and raised a possibility, "Washington will Don’t you want to put the withdrawn nuclear weapons in the UK?”

"This is impossible!" As soon as they finished speaking, several cabinet ministers started arguing, saying that they would never agree. Half a month ago, British citizens were discussing that the Americans had dropped the hydrogen bomb, and then the British agreed to the Americans dropping the hydrogen bomb. Will the nuclear weapons withdrawn from France be placed in the UK? Unless they don't want to get involved in the political arena, they will never agree.

"I just raised a hypothetical question." Alan Wilson immediately said that this was just a hypothetical question. Naturally, he asked deliberately to see what everyone's attitude would be if such a thing really happened.

"Gordon, we still have to win over France and prepare to visit Paris." Harold Wilson finally decided to win over de Gaulle and let the Foreign Secretary go to Paris. Being able to keep France in NATO would have huge benefits for the entire free world.

Alan Wilson directly sang the praises of the Prime Minister's foresight, but in his heart he disagreed. France is a nation with a strong sense of national pride.

France has a proud and glorious history. In the eyes of the French, the France of the Louis XIV era is a peak in human history, just like Greece in the Pericles era, Rome in the Augustus era, and Italy in the Renaissance.

The French view Americans as a declining old aristocrat views an upstart: France is a big country with a glorious history, and even the American War of Independence was won with the support of France.

The current NATO voice is the first to bear the brunt of the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, France is equivalent to the Sakuragi Corps except Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei, etc...

The European integration involved by De Gaulle even included the Soviet Union. In the eyes of the French, the Soviet Union has always been a part of Europe. This is not the same thing as the Soviet Union in the eyes of Schrödinger in many European countries.

The drop of the hydrogen bomb this time may really be related to de Gaulle's determination to withdraw from NATO, but it is definitely a suitable excuse. If a foreign minister is appointed, he will definitely not be able to persuade him to come back. Historically, he has not been persuaded to come back, and it is probably not enough now.

After returning home, Pamela Mountbatten had changed into home clothes, cooked a meal and waited for her husband to come back. After listening to Alan Wilson's narration, "The French are really difficult to deal with."

"Of course, they look down on us, just as we look down on them." Alan Wilson answered vaguely, but did not stop his job. "The Franco-Russian alliance has a history. To be honest, Europe least wants it." It is precisely we who are close, neither the Germans nor the French, who have any deep hatred for the Soviet Union."

Except for the Napoleonic period, France had a fight with the Russian Empire. In the rest of the time, France did not interfere with the river. On the contrary, when it contained Germany, France relied on the Russian Empire for a long time.

As for Germany, apart from the time when the head of state thought he had an advantage during my time, the relationship with the Slavs seemed to be okay at other times.

But Britain is different. Once Europe is happy, Britain will have nothing to do as an island country. Therefore, the Cold War pattern is not a bad thing for Britain.

"The Soviet Union is so powerful, but the French dare to get close to it." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head in confusion, "Don't the French recognize the danger?"

"The Soviet Union is indeed too powerful, but it is not good to be too weak." Alan Wilson had seen the weakest Russia in history, just a few decades later. In his view, Russia that is too weak is not a good thing, just like a certain big country now. It has nothing anyway, so what if it just confronts the United States?

After evaluating the three periods of the Slavs, Alan Wilson still believes that the Imperial Russian period was an acceptable time, not as strong as the Soviet Union, nor as weak as Russia a few decades later.

Of course, Alan Wilson does not think that the so-called weakest in history is Russia's strength. One of the reasons why Russia fell into that situation is because it was a defeated country in the Cold War, and the winner is naturally the United States.

In a unipolar world, Russia, which is equivalent to being defeated once, actually has no place. It does not need R&D, production, and even being a sweatshop has no place for Russia.

In the process of Russia becoming a supplier of raw materials, one country plays a very important role: Germany. The Germans use the EU's eastward expansion. The killing power of soft knives is no less than that of NATO's eastward expansion, and it is even more harmful to Russia. Because the EU itself will be equivalent to Germany's economic colonies in later generations, especially Eastern Europe.

After Germany defeated a country's industry in the EU, it began to lead the next round of EU enlargement. In order to prevent Russia from rebounding, it tied up Russia with energy. But in essence, what is being robbed is Russia's original market. Germany has a large part of the credit for Russia's industrial decline caused by the Jin-Yuan offensive.

If Germany itself was not a defeated country and there were still many British and American troops stationed on its territory, this defeated country would have lost control long ago and might even bite Britain and the United States back.

In ancient and modern battles, the pig's tactics have been successfully used by people again and again. When attacked, they will lean their butt against the wall, so that you can't grab the tail, and finally it is helpless. Let go, this is used very well by the Germans at the economic level.

"I heard something, can it be true? Nyerere visited East Asia? He is not independent yet." Pamela Mountbatten asked her man if this was true.

"I asked him to go." Alan Wilson admitted straightforwardly, "That East African colony will be independent soon, at most next year."

"Dear, can you give me an explanation?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little confused. "That country is now supporting North Vietnam and the Americans."

"There is a railway Nyerere wants to build, but we can't help. It's too difficult and the investment is too high." Alan Wilson replied flatly, "I let him try his luck."
