Chapter 788 Guiding McCarthy

From McCarthy's words, Alan Wilson inferred the United States' attitude towards India. McCarthy was the only one who was tough. Washington still did not have a clear idea about India.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years, and you are already the leading Republican member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. I am still just a colonial steward." Alan Wilson raised his glass to McCarthy with a rather self-pitying tone.

"No matter what, our friendship remains unchanged." McCarthy clinked glasses with Alan Wilson indifferently. When McCarthy was at the center of public opinion, the British man got to know him. The friendship that emerged from the predicament was of course stronger. .

Faced with McCarthy's deep affection and eagerness, Alan Wilson drank the wine in one gulp and said to himself, "I'm overthinking it. Our friendship is like the special relationship between Britain and the United States, eternal and unchanging."

Pamela Mountbatten, who was chatting with Mrs. McCarthy, was startled and seemed to smell a conspiracy. Without mentioning the special relationship between Britain and the United States, she believed that her husband really valued this friendship, and if it was mentioned, it would be false.

After the reception banquet, Alan Wilson had arranged for people to send the McCarthys to the cleaned villa to rest. I took a walk to let off the alcohol before going home.

"This American seems to trust you very much?" Pamela Mountbatten's eyes flashed, and she asked with a half-smile, "Where did you find such a treasure? It's so rare!"

"Huh? Haha!" Alan Wilson couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He naturally understood what his wife said.

It is indeed very rare for people like McCarthy to engage in politics, and his weaknesses are too outstanding. Being firmly anti-Soviet was not actually a drag on politicians like McCarthy. On the contrary, it allowed McCarthy to avoid some shortcomings.

But even so, McCarthy still turned over in history. The aura of ordinary people who are destined to rise to prominence did not cover McCarthy, which shows how unsuitable he is to be a politician.

On the other hand, look at Kennedy. He was a playboy since he first entered politics, but he was able to ascend to the presidency step by step.

Of course, the car actually overturned in the end, and even the skull was not saved. But it didn't delay him from becoming president. These are two problems.

It took a long time before Alan Wilson's heartfelt laughter stopped, and he explained softly, "McCarthy is a good person. There is no special way to deal with people like him. The best way is to make friends with sincerity. Say it to you." Maybe you don’t believe it, but I sincerely made friends with him, and even now, I have a clear conscience.”

"Then use the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States as a metaphor for the friendship between you two!" Pamela Mountbatten's mouth curled up slightly, with a look on her face that said I don't believe you or who I believe.

"This is not the same thing, but we have to think carefully about McCarthy's purpose this time. But putting pressure on India is best done by Americans. And it seems that the United States is indeed very interested at the moment."

Alan Wilson sobered up a little and said relaxedly, "Americans are now willing to interfere everywhere, and it depends on who is right. Although India is not a good country, its population size is there, especially Nehru who feels good about himself now. , and he is not an easy character to deal with, so it is unlikely that he will give in after just two scares."

For India, it has been smooth sailing since independence. Especially in recent years, it seems that I mediated the Korean War and presided over the Geneva Conference. The United States is tolerant and the Soviet Union is courteous. Two major powers serve India. This blessing is not small. Well?

In the eyes of Indians, Nehru was leading India on the road to becoming a great power in great strides. In this case, ordinary threats will not make India retreat, but will arouse Indian resentment and increase Nehru's support rate.

At present, the UK cannot have bad relations with India. Only when India does not use sterling for settlement will the UK be able to confidently run against India. This is definitely not possible now.

So here’s the question. The world’s most powerful democracy is about to compete with the world’s largest democracy. What do you like to hear? Alan Wilson can’t wait.

The India here has much less support than the India in its original history. The independent Yugoslavia and Egypt, the leader of the Arab world? Where are they all?

Relations between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union were much better than they had been historically. Egypt was still under the rule of Farouk I, who claimed to have lived with Ali Pasha.

Two of the advocates of the Non-Aligned Movement were missing, and Nehru should have been alone! If Alan Wilson analyzes it, Indonesia, which provided the venue for the Bogor Conference, must have been regarded as a major boost by Nehru, and Sukarno is probably willing to increase Indonesia's momentum.

Needless to say, the rest can still support Nehru. Nehru needs China more now than in the original history. Otherwise, the Non-Aligned Movement promoted by India will be much inferior.

While on holiday in McCarthy, in fact, I came here to communicate with local British forces. Washington is also talking to London about how to treat India within the framework of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

It's just that the timing is not good. There is a general election coming soon in the UK, and there is a strong election atmosphere now. After Churchill was forced into the palace unknown to outsiders, the popular Eden led the Conservative Party, which Attlee's Labor Party took seriously.

As an electoral country is approaching an election, of course the election is the biggest, and Americans must agree. Otherwise, we can recall the three major battles of the War of Liberation when Dewey and Truman were elected. Did Washington react at all?

And just as Alan Wilson thought, under the premise that India's trade is settled in pounds sterling, the United Kingdom is unwilling to have any unpleasantness with post-independence India, which will have an impact on the status of the pound.

In view of this, the United Kingdom stated that it no longer considers itself a world power. Regarding how to communicate with Nehru, the United Kingdom will conduct matchmaking after the election to block Washington's requests.

Soon, Washington and McCarthy were almost simultaneously rejected by India's request to participate in the conference on the grounds that "this is a conference of newly independent countries that excludes former colonial countries."

"This man is arrogant, arrogant, and self-righteous." McCarthy was caught off guard by this unexpected rejection. At this time, he seemed to be dreaming back to Congress in Washington, and wanted to investigate Nehru immediately to see if this person was reliable.

Arrogant! The arrogant and unreasonable man was cursing the leader of another country, but this was his friend. Alan Wilson pretended not to see it, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that India is really going to start anew, and its dream is really lofty." What? Even if the Soviet Union is against us, India dares to think so? It’s really surprising.”

In fact, he knows in his heart that India's current behavior is also a sign of support in another sense.

India has been independent for less than ten years, and its current demand is to break through diplomatic isolation. It's surprising. India, the Soviet Union, and China had similar demands when they first founded their countries, and they were all trying to break through the blockade.

This is not difficult to understand. Although the United States and the Soviet Union were tolerant of India, the United States and the Soviet Union used to be prominent players in the world, and India was a colony called British India.

In the world of the early 1950s, although India had become independent, France, which had been defeated, reasserted itself as a great power and returned to Indochina. Britain also took over the Southeast Asian Islands and seemed to be waiting and watching the situation.

Seeing the return of colonization by Western powers in Southeast Asia, how could India not be afraid? India is extremely afraid that Western powers will take care of themselves after they regain their strength. The new India was afraid of Western powers interfering in India's internal affairs.

At this time, India urgently needs to unite for warmth and find some countries that have been dealt with by imperialism to unite. This is why Nehru insisted not to allow colonial countries to participate in the conference. The United States was also a colonial country, although its colonies were not large.

McCarthy also has a major issue that Washington is very concerned about, that is, India's views on China have also received ambiguous responses. Loyalty is not absolute. This issue makes Washington very dissatisfied.

Alan Wilson certainly knew what Nehru was thinking, India wanted China to draw firepower from the front. As both newly founded major Asian countries, China has attracted more attention, making it easier for India to make a fortune silently.

Especially now, when the Korean War has just ended and the two sides have broken off, it is most beneficial to India. In this international environment, India's friendly attitude towards China can improve India's international status.

Nehru was worthy of being educated in England and knew how to combine vertical and horizontal forces.

Holding the newspapers advocated by the five South Asian countries, Alan Wilson understood the reasons for McCarthy's anger. One was a die-hard ally of the Soviet Union, and the Indian prime minister was suspected of being pro-Soviet. This made Washington sit on pins and needles. Not to mention that Sukarno and Nehru performed similarly.

Seeing that McCarthy was in a bad mood, Alan Wilson added fuel to the fire without leaving any trace, "If we imagine that China, India and Indonesia are pulling together a group of newly independent countries, independent of the Soviet bloc and the free world, what will happen? How about it?"

"It's not that good. None of these countries have anything to do with the Soviet Union." McCarthy said without thinking. "Allen, you are on the front line of the confrontation. You should know how dangerous the current situation is. Don't be so naive. idea."

"You're right to remind me, Joseph!" Alan Wilson smiled secretly in his heart, but still looked moved, and then sighed, "It seems that the world is more complicated."

Obviously, the meeting held by the five South Asian countries in Bogor, Indonesia, has caused dissatisfaction in Washington. What is even more dissatisfied is that it is unclear about the opponent of the United States in the Korean War.

"There is another way. The Philippines is considered an independent country, and Japan now urgently needs to return to the international community. The United States has extraordinary influence in these two places, so let these two countries figure things out on behalf of the United States."

Alan Wilson decided to help McCarthy. After all, the two were friends, friends without any interests.
