Chapter 757 Showing the Way for France

There is nothing more embarrassing than making a fool of oneself in front of an old enemy, especially the relationship between Britain and France. For eight hundred years, the two countries have fought life and death for hegemony in Europe and the world, but in the end they have benefited other countries.

But now that I think about it, the so-called pursuit at the beginning is not worth mentioning today. Take the Seven Years' War between Britain and France, which spread almost all over the world. It led to the participation of major European powers in the war. In the end, France lost New France and French India. Looking at it now, this is millions of square kilometers of land. The loss can be described as heavy.

But when the Seven Years War ended, France did not attach much importance to the loss of New France and French India.

What they were more concerned about was the control of Belgium and the British Hanoverian Territory. At that time, France felt that compared with European lands, the loss of New France and French India was not an unacceptable consequence.

People of an era have their own ideas. The French at that time would not have thought that Britain would become so powerful with the help of the Seven Years' War and would continue to suppress France in the future.

Georges Pidour happens to be a representative figure in French politics who firmly supports the maintenance of colonies. He is naturally completely different from Louis XV more than two hundred years ago, but he caught up with a bad era.

We firmly support military operations in Vietnam. The result now is that the French army is struggling and is surrounded by Dien Bien Phu.

Morrison didn't need to think carefully to understand the embarrassment of George Pidgeot. After all, he had been the Foreign Secretary for several years and had worked in this field of hypocrisy and nonsense for such a long time. He could still do everything without being surprised.

This is the time to show the unity of Britain and France, rather than tearing each other down as has been the tradition for eight hundred years.

"China must join the Vietnam issue. Let us accept the reality. Moreover, China's presence is still very high in this meeting." Morrison pointed out the confrontations at the meeting in the past few days.

"That's just what the Chinese think. Dulles obviously regarded China as a satellite country of the Soviet Union." George Pidour curled his lips, "And you can see that China's attitude is similar to that of the Soviet Union."

"George, this is a wrong understanding. It's understandable that Dulles is arrogant and arrogant. That's what Americans are like. But it doesn't mean we think so too. In fact, we have a lot of contact with the Chinese. Don't forget that we have colonies. Mainly Chinese." Morrison said in a tone that no one understands the Chinese better than me. "You have also seen Mr. Dulles's diplomatic level. Thanks to the fact that the United States is indeed powerful now, it would be better to replace it with an ordinary country's Secretary of State. At his level, he can be declared war by other countries three times a day."

"The key is what the Soviet Union thinks. If the Soviet Union regards the Viet Cong as a little brother, China's attitude will have little effect." Although George Pidour had some intentions, he still said that the other camp, the Soviet Union, was true to its word. The presence.

"That's not necessarily the case,

China and the Soviet allies in Eastern Europe are different. "Morrison shook his head resolutely and said, "And according to our observations, the so-called Soviet support for North Vietnam only exists in Dulles' mouth. Our intelligence networks in Asia believe that the Soviet Union's current support for North Vietnam has no actual actions at all. "

"If the Soviet Union doesn't care about the affairs of Indochina, you can talk to the Chinese and come up with a partition clause."

Georges Pidour was silent for a long time and asked, "If it really works, will China stand on our...France's side?"

"Of course, Britain's diplomatic judgment should not be underestimated." Morrison is full of confidence. With the joint guarantee of the cabinet secretary and the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has full confidence in this.

But one thing is for sure, don't expect to convince a country that has just gone through a war and is full of self-confidence in just three days or two.

Morrison has a hunch that this time the Geneva Conference may not produce results in just a few months.

Diplomatic work seems simple, but it is not as easy as it seems on the surface. That is to say, both sides are now sincere in easing off. If mutual hatred is still the main concern, this meeting will just yell at each other for a few days and then break up.

Now that they are clamoring at each other and are not willing to break up, it means that both parties want to continue talking, which will take time.

Alan Wilson is still in Kuala Lumpur, leading a group of Yingying Yanyan to visit the resort island where the property rights have changed hands. It can be seen that several people are very satisfied with the environment of the island they just acquired, and they seem to be imagining their future life as island owners.

As for the Vietnam issue, it was just an initiative to find a clear path for France out of the simple sentiments of imperialist class friendship.

There is no doubt that national reunification is a very important matter for any country.

In the historical Geneva Conference, North Vietnam did not achieve its goal at all. No matter what the reason was, a certain big country, North Vietnam's largest backer, did finally stand with the French and did not let the French have their underwear taken off and be captured. Evacuation from Vietnam with little success.

The war between France and Vietnam, like the war between the United States and Vietnam, was a failure, but France still retained the existence of South Vietnam when it left. At least it had a self-comfort. When the United States withdrew, South Vietnam was directly swallowed up, which was equivalent to having its underwear taken off.

Regarding the Vietnam issue at the Geneva Conference, Vietnam’s unification claim was among those who were sacrificed. It is also true that a certain major country supports France. Alan Wilson No matter what the Vietnamese think, the French themselves are colonizers anyway. They have too many debts to bear. As long as they can France must appreciate Britain's help in this evacuation in order to save face.

"Commissioner Wilson, are you still thinking about the war in North Vietnam at this time?" Vivien Leigh was a little unhappy. There were so many people here and she couldn't get the man to pay any attention.

"Just call me Allen, New Delhi is also called that." Allen Wilson came back to his senses, squinted his eyes to take in the beautiful scenery, and whispered, "How do you feel about these islands?"

"The environment is so great! I never thought that one day I would be able to live the life of an island owner." Vivien Leigh's eyes were full of friendship and she praised in a low voice, "As long as it doesn't affect your work."

"The current situation is not very stable. If it were not for the threat from Indonesia, I would give you a few larger ones. It's just that those islands are too close to Indonesia. It's not easy to handle now that there are military personnel stationed there." Ai When Len Wilson said this, he changed the subject and said, "But as long as I am still alive, there will always be a chance if I wait slowly."

Let alone a resort island, as long as the British treasure wants it, he will even dare to sell the islands, and they will definitely not be smaller than Singapore.

Alan Wilson, wearing a straw hat and looking Southeast Asian, also joined the beach party. After all, the four major stars are there, as well as some actors they like.

Because only Baqian Caoxun and Xia Meng are of the yellow race, and their status is far inferior to that of Vivien Leigh and others, the two of them often get together without distinguishing between China and Japan at this time.

At this moment, Alan Wilson felt that his knowledge reserve was not sufficient. Although he had learned Japanese by watching movies, it was only limited to a few sentences, and it was not suitable for this occasion. Out of the tradition of British Empire gentlemen, he was unwilling to neglect Yaqian Caoxun and Xia Meng. This was entirely because of the British tradition of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and absolutely no other reason.

The four of them, Marilyn Monroe, looked at Alan Wilson, who had never been such a gentleman, answering questions for two girls who were unfamiliar with him.

"I think this colonial official might want to experience the exotic customs." Marilyn Monroe smiled slightly and whispered, "I heard that many soldiers of the US Army in Korea are like this."

As soon as Marilyn Monroe's words came out of her mouth, Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman, and Vivien Leigh remained silent for a long time.

"Did I say something wrong?" Marilyn Monroe also felt that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, frowning and wondering.

"Nothing!" Vivien Leigh looked at Alan Wilson not far away, while the Imperial Commissioner was enjoying himself.

"No one in the whole UK understands China better than me, Miss Xia Meng, my Chinese is probably better than yours." Alan Wilson boasted, "I'm not bragging, it only took me a short time in my life to master it." Learned Chinese.”

"Commissioner Wilson's accent is very similar to that of the north, and the northern Mandarin is not very similar." Xia Meng was a little confused. She was very strange about this matter. Neither Xiangjiang nor British Malaya had this kind of accent. Who did you learn this from?

"Mr. Lin from the MCA is teaching orthophonic pronunciation. The accents of all future students will be unified. Of course, this also has some insignificant contributions from me. I have edited many sets of teaching materials myself. I dare not say that I take all the credit, but it can be regarded as a contribution. .”

Alan Wilson didn't dare to say that he took all the credit, but his performance at this time would have made him fly to the sky if his two balls hadn't fallen.

As for Yachigusa Kaoru, even if the language barrier is a big problem, Alan Wilson can still communicate through the other party's not very proficient in English, even bragging and gesticulating, and occasionally popping out a line of "Ashilu", making Yachigusa Kaori also have a smile on his face. Shy, looking like a Japanese car with pink paint.

"Xia Meng, Yaqian Caoxun, please come and sit down." Vivien Leigh called to the two of them. She really couldn't stand it anymore.

Then Alan Wilson followed, and Marilyn Monroe said, "You don't like many exotic places like many American soldiers, do you?"

"It's an insult to me to compare me to a US soldier." Alan Wilson replied bluntly to Marilyn Monroe, "How about I investigate how many soldiers are in Japan out of consideration of the special relationship between Britain and the United States? A US military illegitimate child?”

"That's not what Monroe meant!" Ingrid Bergman changed the subject, "We are hungry, can you trouble the Imperial Commissioner to help us solve the food problem?"

"No problem, as long as Malaya has it." Alan Wilson looked directly into the other person's eyes and bowed slightly like a professionally trained butler.
