Chapter 1407 Peace Appeal
After being silent for a while, Alan Wilson said again, "We must let Washington know about this suspicion. Isn't it similar to the Soviet Union's attack on Warsaw? Then discuss it with the United States through intelligence exchanges. Remember , resolutely state our position that Britain will not interfere in already independent colonies."
At least now is not the time. The war has just begun. Why can't we just wait and see for two days? Can the Indian army successfully break through the border, or will it swallow up thousands of miles from the beginning?
When is it now? It is not enough to make a true judgment, otherwise, it is very likely that Shaoyigu will be embarrassed in a battle to become a god.
Of course, this does not mean that Alan Wilson believes that India cannot win. If it plays steadily and steadily in the face of the Pakistani government forces with 60 million people who want independence, India will achieve its goal sooner or later.
"I understand, Secretary-General." Wick replied, holding the microphone. "We will communicate with Washington now and hope to know the United States' exact views on this war."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. We'll talk about it when I get to work tomorrow." Alan Wilson put down the phone, stared at the good boy Charlotte in front of him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you have any thoughts about China's modern history after reading it?"
Charlotte, who was motionless, had a grimace on his face. He didn't dare to run away, otherwise he would be hit by his belt. "Father, the knowledge you asked me to understand is obviously not what I should be able to master at my age."
"Stop talking nonsense, you don't know the seriousness of the matter now." Alan Wilson said as if he thinks highly of you, "Others can't master it, but you have to master it. Your stage is in East Asia. Use history as a mirror." Have you heard? I can wipe your butt for the rest of my life? You still have to make your own judgment when encountering things in the future."
The more Charlotte listened, the more confused she became. She thought to herself, "How old am I? Why do I have to wipe my butt for the rest of my life?" His mind went blank, and he just nodded indifferently to show that he understood.
"Listen carefully to your father." Xia Meng said with a straight face. She could understand better than her man her son's usual subtle expressions when he wanted to muddle through.
"Son, think about it carefully. If you have a significant other in your life, shouldn't you have some basis for resisting risks? Either have money or power, or preferably both." Alan Wilson was thinking while indoctrinating. He said, "Take the little girl you have fun playing with as an example. You should at least have my strength, right?"
Regarding the fact that he is very optimistic about the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong, Alan Wilson can only comfort himself. At least he is a boy who likes girls. This is what a normal boy should think. If he is like Musk's son, then he has a death wish. , but it is still very challenging to be optimistic about it.
You don’t want to look forward to a future where Aiden controls Nasser, do you?
Since you don’t want to, then you must have overwhelming strength to maintain it. At the very least, it cannot become a wealthy family, and it cannot be a wealthy family in Xiangjiang in the general sense. Many wealthy families in Xiangjiang have almost no gold content. They are similar to the proper noun of Xiangjiang, "thousand-foot mansion". How big is it? One hundred square meters.
The real wealthy families in Xiangjiang are either related to London or the imperial capital. If they have no relationship with either, this wealthy family is just happy.
The prosperity of Xiangjiang is a specific product of a special period in history. It is incomparable to Singapore, which guards the Strait of Malacca. Even if it is not good, the population does not meet the minimum standards for industrial upgrading.
And everything is harmonious. If one day a certain big country appears on the enemy list of the free world again, just like it has just disappeared from the enemy list, Hong Kong will not even be able to maintain its current prosperity.
Can Hong Kong maintain its status as an international financial center? Failing that, British and American capital will naturally move the location of the international financial center to Singapore. Can a major country help Xiangjiang seize its position as an international financial center? Capital markets still have the final say in Britain and the United States.
The free world says that Hong Kong is the financial center of Asia, but it is not. Even if any country says that it is, it is not.
The next day, Alan Wilson went to work in Whitehall and asked about the latest situation of the India-Pakistan war. Wick also conveyed the attitude of the United States,
"Dr. Kissinger firmly believes that India's ambitions have caused harm to the international situation, and is prepared to put pressure on India from the diplomatic level. He also stated that he will not rule out a repeat of 1962?"
"Ah?" Alan Wilson chuckled, "This only proves that the chairman of the US-India Association will still interpret issues from his own country's perspective at critical moments."
Kissinger is the chairman of the US-India Association. This may be a position that most people don't know about, but Kissinger's attitude during the third India-Pakistan war was to firmly support Pakistan, and he also expressed his intention to unite with a major country to send troops to intervene. Of course, this threat was ignored by India, which was already allied with the Soviet Union.
"The key is, does Washington believe that it was the Soviet Union that planned this war, or at least provided India with a combat plan?" Alan Wilson is still more concerned about this issue. India's airborne action on the outskirts of Dhaka is too similar to this world The airborne landing in Czechoslovakia that never happened turned into a military operation airborne in Warsaw.
"Dr. Kissinger said that this possibility cannot be ruled out. He will continue to pay attention to the situation between India and Pakistan." Wick immediately replied without thinking.
Alan Wilson nodded. It seems that the United States is also confused. It is in the fog of war and can't make up its mind for a while. This is normal, as long as a country's energy is limited.
As arrogant as during the George W. Bush era, the United States claimed to have won two wars at the same time, referring to opponents like Afghanistan and Iraq. It couldn't be China and Russia, right?
But what is certain is that East Pakistan has no depth and is surrounded by India on three sides. According to the standards of Germany in World War II, once India launches an iron wall encirclement, the situation of the Pakistani defenders will be really difficult. East Pakistan The area is only a quarter of France, and there is no basis for resisting the wave of India.
"The last time Indira Gandhi visited the United States, I heard that the talks were very tense. Kissinger said that it was the most embarrassing conversation with a foreign leader during Nixon's term. It is certain that the attitude of the United States will not change. We can Make sure of this." After listening to the international situation, Alan Wilson picked up the phone and said, "Call the Department of Defense. Is Marshal Charles here? Ask about the Department of Defense's attitude towards the situation in India and Pakistan. I believe the Prime Minister is also extremely concerned."
At this time, Alan Wilson even wanted to ask Alexeyev, the eldest son who seems to be the most accomplished at present, whether India's offensive plan was formulated by the Soviet Union, especially the airborne operations, but after thinking about it, he still thought Yes, he is busy now.
At this time, the news that the India-Pakistan war has started again has made the headlines of major British newspapers. Since India's independence, it has a strong presence in British public opinion.
This has not changed because of independence. Britain is no longer the suzerainty of India, but it still has more power, not to mention the outbreak of international hotspots such as war.
In this case, Alan Wilson arrived at the Ministry of Defense and asked Marshal Charles what was included in the intervention plan that he had made before, and could be adopted at the appropriate time.
There is still a lot of content, such as an iron wall siege in another sense, mobilizing four heavy aircraft carriers from the Mediterranean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, posing vague threats from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and of course, accompanied by the activation of the Andaman Islands. The military base serves as a fulcrum.
"Huh? Is it too early?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth after hearing this. If he did this, wouldn't Britain steal the show? He had just asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to declare a non-interference stance.
At this time, he was also preparing to leave the main stage to the Soviet Union and the United States. As we all know, the United States is a supporter of Pakistan, and Washington has also expressed its stance. As for India, the Soviet Union and India have just signed a friendship treaty. The fate of the United States and the Soviet Union is inevitable. In this situation, the United Kingdom should not steal the show, even if there is a basis for stealing it.
"There is also a strategic air force operation to prepare for air landing in Sikkim. We still have some facilities in Sikkim, and we have a good relationship with Sikkim." Sir Charles took out the record after hearing this, "The risk of air landing in Sikkim with strategic air force is not great. Although Sikkim is small, the situation is currently stable. And it is not far from the battlefield. Once airborne operations are carried out, the results will be quick. However, it may not be able to bypass Indian airspace."
"This is a problem. If you enter the airspace of Bhutan from the direction of Myanmar and land in Sikkim, you cannot avoid the airspace of India. However, the northeastern part of India is not dangerous." Alan Wilson pondered for a while and said, "In fact, the scale of the airborne landing does not matter. Even if only one transport plane is used, as long as it lands successfully and shows that British military power has successfully intervened, it will be considered a successful operation."
To be fair, Alan Wilson is very interested in this filing or cancellation. He still has a relationship with the current King of Sikkim.
In fact, there is another route. The United Kingdom also has a military base in Nepal. Although the function of this military base is to serve as a recruitment office for Nepalese mercenaries. But there is, and the facilities still exist. It is much easier to sneak into Nepal and land in Sikkim by air.
"Not bad!" Marshal Charles also agreed. Of course he was a little surprised, because this was an abandoned case, but he didn't expect the Cabinet Secretary to be so interested.
"We have not expressed our support for India." Alan Wilson said, "What's wrong with sending a strategic transport plane to Nepal? This is also to protect other countries in South Asia from being affected by the India-Pakistan war."
While the Ministry of Defense discussed the action plan, Prime Minister Harold Wilson issued his first call for peace since the war between India and Pakistan officially broke out, hoping that India and Pakistan would sit down and talk.
This is very normal. The UK is a responsible big country and should do this. As for whether it is useful? The great sage Hun Tuo also often said that peace is the most precious thing.
