Chapter 1343 Lost Victory
"That's such a pity." Alan Wilson expressed regret hypocritically. He has a habit of hating others visiting his home, no matter how close the person is. But he himself prefers to be a guest in other people's homes. This kind of behavior is simply a double standard.
After the two left, it was not far from get off work time. Alan Wilson took out a set of playing cards and randomly drew them, then packed up and left Whitehall.
"It's surprising." Monroe opened the door and was slightly surprised. Why did this man remember to come to his place today?
"What's the surprise? You are a lady with the same status as my wife." Alan Wilson squeezed in with a gentle smile. This all originated from poker and was also an arrangement of fate.
Monroe also stepped aside, and today she had to admit that apart from being married, this man had absolutely nothing to say, he liked to please women, and he was very sincere.
Little did Monroe know that she was not the only woman to make such an assessment, and that if these stumbling blocks to success were not there, the Cabinet Secretary would have made greater contributions to Britain.
"Robert Kennedy is doing well in the election. It seems that winning the Democratic candidate is almost inevitable." Alan Wilson put down his briefcase and leaned unseemly on the sofa.
Although Monroe came from an ordinary background, she was still very concerned about where she lived. She brought a pillow and stuffed it into the man's back and asked, "Are you so sure?"
"I am even certain that he is in danger. Although I have no evidence, you should not spread it everywhere."
Alan Wilson changed his position and looked directly into Monroe's eyes and sighed, "Kennedy's murder has become an unsolved case. If those murderers were still alive, would they allow his younger brother to become president? Robert Kennedy also served as a judicial officer. Minister, he knows how to make things come to light. It is too dangerous. If it were me, I would definitely not allow him to come to power."
Calculating the time in his mind, Robert Kennedy probably only has two months left to live. The person who kills Kennedy now just hopes that he, Kennedy's younger brother, will not be so popular.
Once it is determined that he cannot be prevented from entering the White House through normal means, then even the president can be killed, but there is still one candidate left?
Really? Monroe was a little lost, but her expression returned to normal immediately, "It's like you know it very well. You haven't been to the United States a few times at all."
"The deep state is like this, no matter which country it is." Alan Wilson took Monroe's hand and pulled her into his arms. "My power as Cabinet Secretary is unlimited."
Although the Kennedy brothers were a mess in their personal ethics, they did make Americans believe in many things that they were for the betterment of this country.
Robert Kennedy was also raising an anti-war banner during the election, saying in his speech that our brave young people are dying in the swamps of Southeast Asia.
Some of them may write a poem, some of them may cure cancer, some of them may win a prize in the world competition, or make us laugh on the stage; or build a bridge or a university, some of them may Teach children to read.
It is our responsibility to keep these people alive. It would be such a sad thing if they died because of the vanity of their country.
But for the war that has been launched, this statement is not acceptable to everyone. For the most powerful country in the world, other countries’ expectations of you are not based on those of ordinary countries. The defeat of the United States will be extremely serious. A huge loss of national confidence.
Fortunately, the Soviet Union jumped into Afghanistan every few years. Otherwise, the United States would have been plagued by the sequelae for a long time. What if the Soviet Union also followed the example of a major country and carried out a limited intervention, replaced the head of the Afghan government, and framed Amin for trying to quarrel with Pakistan? After making peace and recognizing the Durand Line, did the Soviet Union withdraw its troops after being invited to kill the traitors?
The next step is to use the powerful heavy industry to arm Afghanistan to regain its homeland, and then instigate India to attack from the north and the south, and serve as the rear area for both countries.
From the perspective of decades later,
This is entirely possible, but the Soviet Union's diplomatic ability is as diode as this country, and there is never a middle way.
If he were a Soviet, he would definitely follow this route, but as a British person, there is no need to think about how to prevent the Soviet Union from falling into a trap. From this time on, the Soviet Union is reaching its peak step by step. Once it is confirmed that the United States cannot withstand Vietnam, The Soviet Union will turn from defense to offense.
The problem now is that Robert Kennedy's anti-war remarks at this time are very embarrassing to the United States. The United States still feels that it has the advantage and the situation in Vietnam can be saved.
Moreover, the Kennedy family made another move last year. The famous Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko visited the United States.
Robert F. Kennedy hosted a lavish dinner at his home in Hickory Hill, typical of the Kennedy family's "extension of influence." The Kennedys and Yevgeny Yevtushenko spent hours talking about poetry, the Cold War, Vietnam and hundreds of other topics. It's hard not to think about it.
"It's too dangerous to engage in politics." Monroe raised her head and stared at the man who claimed to be the supreme authority in Britain. "Let me see if you will sacrifice me for something."
"Absolutely not, I'm not that kind of person." Alan Wilson said thoughtfully, "I don't need to be prime minister or president. I have already done the things of the deep state."
On the morning of April 1, Pamela Mountbatten, who had been resting for a day in Dubai, appeared at the London International Airport. When she walked out of the airport, she saw a familiar figure. She took two quick steps and threw herself into her husband's arms. "I didn't take advantage of my absence." Is London doing bad things?”
"I'm not that kind of person." Moral Vacuum spoke so ordinary and confidently. He reached out and patted Pamela Mountbatten on the back, then grabbed her hands and walked out side by side.
It was like the time when the two of them had just met. At that time, not long after they met, they suddenly felt that their greatest interest was in two people talking and chatting alone together. They could talk from morning to night, and they still couldn't talk enough. At that time, it was like suddenly falling into the mythical world of love that I had secretly longed for since childhood and adolescence.
It was a hot time in the subcontinent, and the sun over New Delhi hung low in the sky like a bright red fireball, wrapped in red and plain, looking particularly enchanting. The love between the two revolves in an uninterrupted rush of happiness. This happiness seems to be a fait accompli, or at least a fact that is about to be realized.
However, it was at that time that something seemed to begin to poison their happiness, making the beautiful relationship less natural.
"When I came here, I stayed in Kuala Lumpur for two days and talked with Princess Badia in the Middle East." Pamela Mountbatten said what she saw and heard when she came back. Generally speaking, it was pretty good. "But dear , you also know that my father knows many generals in the U.S. military, and it seems that the position of the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military this time is no longer stable."
"That Admiral Westmoreland? He is indeed almost bound to this war. If I were him, I wouldn't struggle." Alan Wilson chuckled and replied, "It's better to be tough to the end, that's okay. Taking a closer look at the support of conservatives, I think the person he should learn from most now is Manstein. He should quickly write a book on Lost Victory, shift the responsibility to the US government, and emphasize that the US military fights bravely. It is the government's incompetence that delays it. Can’t win.”
"You still have such a sharp mouth." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but snicker. Manstein was well-known in the world, but her husband seemed not to like the German general.
"My rocket is sharp!" Alan Wilson just didn't have a tail, otherwise it would have been cocked long ago. At this time, he didn't forget his mouth.
"I'll see if it sounds so sharp then." Pamela Mountbatten raised an eyebrow, and then asked another question, "Why did you ask me to stop the run on gold?"
"The reason is that France is now suffering from indigestion. The run on gold has brought about the appreciation of the franc, and as I said before the run on gold. France has not yet had the power to lead other European countries to act with France. The French got the gold. But the pressure brought about by the appreciation of the franc has also led to increased pressure on French exports.”
Alan Wilson talked eloquently that France's run on gold has reached a critical point. This critical point is whether French industry can bear the continued appreciation of the franc.
With one-sixth of the US economy, France has swallowed thousands of tons of gold and will definitely suffer from indigestion.
During this run on gold, other countries are also waiting and watching. They are mainly waiting to see how much France can absorb. The second point is whether the United States will retaliate against France. This retaliation refers to the financial field.
If the run in France cannot continue, it means that the run in France has peaked. And if the United States cannot make France suffer in the financial field, then this round of runs in France also proves the weakness of the Federal Reserve. The former only measures France's financial strength, while the latter is of greater significance. You can't even retaliate against France. There are other countries too.
Not to mention other countries, the Federal Republic of Germany has the same economic strength as France. In addition to the Federal Republic of Germany, there is also the United Kingdom. Being able to support France does not mean that it can also support the other two.
"But then again, how much gold have you exchanged for these years following the French?" Alan Wilson was also very interested in this question, and this was the first time he asked.
"I thought you would always show disinterest, but finally I couldn't help it anymore." Pamela Mountbatten smiled brightly after hearing this, and held out four fingers, "It's less than four hundred, isn't it amazing? If you want to praise, be quick, praise is still useful now."
"My Pamela is really amazing." Alan Wilson pinched his wife's chin and gently pulled it twice, "Hurry up and stick out your tongue."
