Chapter 1419 The United States and Tintin Establish Diplomatic Relations

"Sikkim wants to use diplomatic channels to contact the United States? No problem, the king is my friend. You must pay attention to the news in Dhaka. News that is not in the national interest will never be published." Alan Wilson hung up after saying that Telephone.

Anna glanced at the man who quickly hung up the phone, a bright look flashed in her eyes, "What? Do you still not believe me until today?"

"My dear, where did you go?" Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "I just don't want the war to ruin the Christmas atmosphere between us. I have absolutely no other intention."

In fact, there is nothing to say. Both the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom supported India, but the intensity of their support was different. The Soviet Union was more straightforward, while the United Kingdom was more implicit.

After all, the United States supports Pakistan, and the fact that the United States supports Pakistan is not the result of collective will, but the decision-making of a small group of people.

Although the United States quickly established Task Force 74 with great momentum, American public opinion, Congress and civil servants are more inclined to India. In fact, it is very simple. Compared with Pakistan, India is certainly a more valuable party, and everyone can judge it.

It is not a major country that has already fought with India once. From the standpoint of the United States, there is no need to be hostile to India.

At this time, serious divisions broke out between the White House system, Congress, and the civil service system in the United States. Domestic public opinion, Congress, and the civil service system in the United States basically supported India, while the White House and the foreign affairs department under Kissinger strongly supported Pakistan. Almost all American civil servants collectively There were three people who specifically supported Pakistan in the rebellion: Presidents Nixon, Kissinger and George H.W. Bush.

Being hostile to India is not a consensus among American political circles, but purely a decision made by a small circle. Alan Wilson used history as a mirror and knew that Kissinger was not a shady old fox in the early days of the political arena. Especially the decision-making during the Third Indo-Pak War was done properly by Chang Gong.

Therefore, the Sikkim card has only become extremely valuable until now. Whether it is Nixon, Kissinger, or Bush Sr., faced with the embarrassment of Task Force 74 not being able to move up or down, and the possibility that India may completely collapse. Whenever you criticize the Soviet Union, you must draw a card.

It just so happened that the Queen of Sikkim was an American, and her request for help brought Sikkim, which has a very strategic position, into the sight of Washington. This was the moment for this small group of screwed-up people to save their face. The Siliguri Corridor is so narrow that once Sikkim comes into sight, its value immediately becomes apparent.

There is no need for Anna to know these words, but Anna is still struggling with it, "It's been so long, you are so stingy, I already have two children."

"It's not what you think. Both the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom support India. At least we have a common position on South Asian affairs.

We have to give the United States a step down, right? Alan Wilson spoke to comfort the unhappy little dragoon, "Did you know there was a massacre in Dhaka?" "

Seeing Anna shaking her head, Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "When the US military appears in Sikkim, we will send out the news about the Dhaka massacre. Countries that support Pakistan may be embarrassed by then. It's a pity that the Himalayas are under lockdown. It’s mountain season, if it’s not the season when mountains are closed, it’s not just the United States that would be embarrassed.”

As soon as the news of the Dhaka massacre came out, it was of course embarrassing for a country that shared the stance of supporting Pakistan with the United States. It is a country that is taller than the sky and deeper than the sea.

It's a pity that the snow closed the mountains and allowed them to hide. In fact, Alan Wilson especially welcomed the Pakistani army's resolute support of the massacre of civilians. He criticized colonialism when he had nothing to do.

The next day, Alan Wilson came to Whitehall with the news that the Queen of Sikkim called for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and Sikkim. After that, he wrote a list on a piece of paper, then called Wick over and asked him to send it to Kuala Lumpur, "Give it to Ally. It is not a burden to share with Shah, but can it be considered a burden to give alms? In the current situation where Bangladesh has been reduced to ruins, what does it mean to donate something?”

What Wick received was a list of apportionments written by the supreme authority. The sugar king donated some sugar, the oil refining king donated some palm oil, and the instant noodle king donated some instant noodles. They would not lose money. The supreme authority had shares in these companies, so they would lose money. Lose together.

Of course, the British-Malaysian colonial government took care of the bulk items themselves, just emptied some old rice from the granary.

It’s all labeled like this, but you still have to choose whether it’s expired? Bengalis should not be so ignorant. As for calling on Malayan subjects to donate money and materials more broadly, Alyssa can make her own decision.

It is definitely not difficult to call on a colony to donate money and materials, because the situation in Bangladesh is really miserable now. Pakistan’s suppression that has lasted for almost a year has caused millions of casualties. This time the Indian army is surrounded by an iron wall, and After scraping Bangladesh, the Bengalis are almost eating dirt.

For such a miserable place, especially when compared with the Pearl of Asia, Malaya, being realistic is enough to arouse the sympathy of Malayan subjects.

In fact, in places with good economic development, it is easy to breed this kind of cheap sympathy. It is not necessarily said that the subjects of Malaya are particularly kind. They do not know the Bengalis. To be more precise, this kind of sympathy and seeing Stray dogs feel almost pitiful.

If the Bengalis live a particularly good life and compete with Malaya in industry, maybe the Malayan subjects will set off firecrackers to celebrate after hearing about this war.

The supreme authority is by no means taking advantage of the opportunity to plunder wool. Malaya has Malayan tasks. Doesn’t it mean that the British mainland has no tasks?

Of course there are. For example, considering that there are 60 million Bangladeshis, I don’t know if there will be more after this war, but Alan Wilson just thinks that he does. His current job is to prepare to talk to the Prime Minister about printing 60 million pounds. thing.

Just as the Secretary-General of the Cabinet was preparing to talk to the Prime Minister about the specific operations of quantitative easing, the life-saving straw from Sikkim arrived in loyal Washington from the Bay of Bengal, across the Suez Canal, and along the warm North Atlantic current. Singer knew.

Of course it sounds nice to say it is against all opinions, but this time the decision to support Pakistan was really made after a small circle of people discussed it. As a result, the task force currently formed was stationed in the Bay of Bengal to pay attention to the Indian army's sweep of East Pakistan.

This embarrassing situation, against all opinions, has become synonymous with blind and ineffective operations, which made groups that were already critical of supporting Pakistan question Kissinger himself and the president behind him, Richard Nixon.

It can be said that Kissinger did not sleep well since the India-Pakistan war began, and the war went completely towards the side he did not want to see.

The Queen of Sikkim's appeal came at the right time, not to mention that there was also a content in it that Sikkim, a small country, was afraid of the giants around it. The Queen is an American, so of course the government believes in the Americans.

Kissinger, holding a life-saving straw, came to the White House after leaving and explained the latest situation to President Nixon, "Hope Cook is an American citizen. We currently have no diplomatic relations with Sikkim. Obviously, India is extremely important to this geographical location. Small countries have ambitions, and India should learn a lesson this time by ignoring our diplomatic efforts and making moves that undermine regional balance."

This scene was all expected by Alan Wilson, who was preparing to print money. Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, Kissinger's performance at this time did verify his judgment.

When India, supported by the Soviet Union, won a victory, the United States always had to come back. How important is Sikkim's position? The queen is still an American citizen.

"British public opinion is also intensely discussing this matter. It is mainly divided into two types. They believe that Sikkim is a country with traditional British influence and a very strategic position, but they hope that the United States will assist when something happens. There are even voices that think that Hope Cook It's a CIA agent, and this is a conspiracy that the United States wants to penetrate deep into areas of traditional British influence."

There is no other way now. In fact, Kissinger was very wronged. The United States suffered a setback in the Vietnam War and urgently needs to improve its relations with a certain major country. Pakistan has good relations with a certain major country and is a bridge for this.

But at this time, Pakistan was in civil strife. From the perspective of the United States, Pakistan could not be abandoned at this time.

But the key point is that Kissinger visited secretly. Except for being discovered by a cabinet secretary in London, it can be said to be extremely confidential. How could this possibly be known to civil servants in Congress and the executive branch?

Of course, the secret operation cannot be known to too many people. It has happened that most people who do not know the inside story are opposed to the hostility between the United States and India, but the United States is deterring India.

Nixon was silent. Now it was obviously a multiple-choice question. The decision to improve relations and poach the Soviet Union had been implemented, so he could only continue.

"Establish diplomatic relations with Sikkim and send a C-5 transport aircraft to transport the Haiju Marine Corps from Thailand to Sikkim. This matter must be informed to the relevant countries. You can arrange the establishment of diplomatic relations with Sikkim. Then let the task force leave the Bay of Bengal. Issue a statement that the United States will We will protect the security of West Pakistan and let New Delhi end the war immediately.”

Soon, the C-5 transport plane at the Thai military base, carrying hastily designated diplomats and a team of marines, took off and flew towards Sikkim, a small country at the southern foot of the Himalayas.

At this time, Bangladesh has ceased fire across the board, and the Pakistani army is surrendering to the attacking Indian army. India, which is in ecstasy across the country, is unaware of the latest actions of the United States.

The United States immediately exerted diplomatic pressure on India, which had won the Battle of East Pakistan, through diplomatic channels, urging India to immediately cease fire and stop the war.

Sikkim has an airport built by the British before, which can allow British strategic transport aircraft to land, so of course there is no problem with the American one. On this day, in addition to the Union Jack, the Stars and Stripes appeared in Sikkim.
