"On such a solemn occasion today, I don't want to emphasize the threat of the Soviet Union in a cliché. Two months ago, the United States already felt it personally, and the United States is still making confused judgments. I am very worried about the future of the United States."
The threat of the Soviet Union cannot be overemphasized. Even Alan Wilson felt that Russia after its disintegration would be difficult to deal with.
Think about the economic aggregate of the United States plus the European Union. Even if Russia's economy is underestimated due to sanctions, the gap is astronomical, but so what? It's not like Europe and the United States are disgraced.
The total economy is 40 trillion, but the economy of 1500 billion is unable to get out of power. It can be seen that Russia is really angry and how embarrassing it is to Europe and the United States. The economic gap is more than 20 times. For comparison, that was before sanctions.
Comparison of the economic aggregates of Venezuela and the United States.
It has only been a month since the Soviet Union shipped nuclear missiles from Cuba, and the United States is talking about unifying its nuclear forces here?
When World War II ended in 1945, Britain wanted to rule the world together with the United States. Today, it is far less difficult than it was back then. How can it be difficult to imagine being a follower of the United States?
"Unifying the nuclear forces will help increase the trust between Britain and the United States, unless the United Kingdom believes that the special relationship with the United States has come to an end." Dean Rusk began to threaten with a cold face.
"You'd better talk to the de Gaulle government about this. I think the countdown to the disintegration of NATO has reached." Alan Wilson was unmoved in the face of this threat, "Dear Secretary of State, you should know something. The United States can
To stand firm, the fact that the UK assisted us played a big role."
"The French government has always advocated European independence. We and France have different understandings on this point. But if it is forced? It is not that we cannot have a unified understanding. If that happens, can the United States still stand in Europe?"
Alan Wilson reminded Dean Rusk, the U.S. Secretary of State, that the history of the establishment of NATO was that Britain contacted France and took the initiative to make the United States the leader of Europe. Once Britain and France feel that their interests have been harmed, will the United States be able to stay stably in Europe?
But an unknown.
"The United States is defending the freedom and stability of Europe." Dean Rusk emphasized, almost tilting his desk.
Alan Wilson took a tactical step back and retorted calmly, "It is to make Europeans think that the United States is protecting Europe's freedom and stability. Do the Soviets know? Likewise, France does not think that the United States is defending Europe."
Before Dean Rusk could refute anything, Alan Wilson added another sentence, "The United States didn't win the Korean War. It couldn't even win the second-largest country in the Soviet bloc. Why do you think the Soviet Union was afraid of the United States?"
With the number of troops stationed in the country, you didn’t take action against Europe?”
This was already contempt for American military strength, although Alan Wilson had said it once before in front of Dulles.
But what kind of occasion is this? This is a formal meeting of the British-US summit. He said this, almost questioning the capabilities of the United States.
Dean Rusk glared, then looked at Rab Butler, "Foreign Secretary, I want to know, is this voice a common understanding of the British diplomatic team?"
"Dear Secretary of State, this is just the understanding of some people." Rab Butler smiled and smoothed things over, and then asked, "Isn't it a common understanding among American political circles to incorporate British and French nuclear weapons into a common nuclear force?"
While Kennedy and Eden were posing for a photo of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the diplomatic teams of the two countries immediately broke down.
This left the two big men in silence. They were mentally prepared to a certain extent, and through this meeting, they knew to a certain extent what the other party's purpose was.
Kennedy knew about the existence of Huiying's 26 Articles, which he considered to be Britain's blackmail against the United States.
Eden also knew that the United States really wanted Britain to hand over the nuclear weapons that it had devoted so much effort to putting into actual combat after the war.
Regarding the right to use nuclear weapons, Alan Wilson reiterated the United States' breach of treaty, and President Truman tore up the shared nuclear program, causing Britain to suffer huge losses.
In terms of trade protection, Alan Wilson mentioned that the United States secretly set up obstacles to prevent the British Comet airliner from entering the U.S. market until the Boeing airliner came out. This was not the case at all when dealing with Japan and Germany. They tried their best to cultivate and consciously
He allowed Germany and Japan to compete with Britain and France.
"When dealing with the Soviet bloc, Washington was submissive, and when dealing with its allies, Washington struck hard. The result was the Cuban Missile Crisis, and European countries now have an increased sense of distrust in the United States. At this time, the United States also hopes that Britain and France will include nuclear weapons.
under the command of the United States.”
Major newspapers in London expressed their concern about the Nassau Conference, which also aroused the support of AFP. The De Gaulle government has declared that "France's nuclear weapons only belong to France and will not be handed over to anyone, whether it is an ally or an ally."
Any country."
The statement of the De Gaulle government caused a huge response in Europe, and many European countries realized it. Britain and France had conflicts with the United States on this issue. Although France did not participate in the negotiations, it has been supporting the United Kingdom.
Ladies of the same status as their wives in Bonn, Paris, and London are also paying attention to the performance of their men in Nassau.
Of course, Alan Wilson was trying his best to safeguard Britain's interests, like a repeater repeating Huiying's 26 Articles. Let the United States open its market, provide unconditional aid, and face up to the exchange rate manipulation of Japan and Germany.
As for handing over nuclear weapons, don't even think about it. The terms of Huiying can be negotiated, and other matters can be discussed later.
"Perhaps the UK thinks that it no longer needs the help of the United States? Is it the war in Asia and the dispatch of the Royal Navy that caused the UK to have an illusion of thinking? Others don't understand. Doesn't the US know that the UK's so-called saving India is a joke?
"
Dean Rusk directly exposed the public opinion that India was able to escape unscathed only because of British intervention. This is simply a lie. Without the existence of Britain, the war would have ended.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well said, now let's talk about what the same actions of the United States mean during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Maybe we should talk about the withdrawal of the United States from Turkish missiles,
Inform people around the world and let them know whether the United States succeeded in the entire crisis and made the Soviet Union retreat."
Alan Wilson joked in a sinister way, "Of course the United States can send nuclear missiles back to Turkey. I believe that with the national power of the United States, it will be able to scare the Soviet Union. So what if it doesn't keep its word? Does the Soviet Union really dare to tell the truth? But then
Coupled with British public opinion, it won’t be so easy to stick your head in the ground and act like an ostrich, right?”
The atmosphere at the meeting venue has become increasingly heated. Both sides are using practical actions to prove what the true special relationship between Britain and the United States is. Dean Rusk expounded a basic fact in a reminding tone, "Don't forget that the UK is not big.
So far it is still a colonial country.”
Alan Wilson stood up directly and performed a show of walking away in front of Dean Rusk.
From the perspective of Americans, this is because this difficult British diplomat has been grasped by the United States and is at a loss for words. The departure of his opponent can prove that although the process is tortuous, the United States has gained the upper hand in this meeting.
But within ten minutes, Alan Wilson came back dragging a large suitcase. He opened the suitcase unhurriedly, took out a fifty-page investigative report, and read out, "1950
In July 2008, when a group of ragged North Korean refugees approached a U.S. military position next to a railway bridge, the U.S. soldiers stationed there opened fire on them, and then planes joined in the strafing, killing at least 300 people, most of whom were women and children."
"A sudden air strike on an island near Incheon in September killed more than a hundred civilians."
"In January of the following year, U.S. Air Force planes dropped napalm bombs on civilians hiding in a cave in Danyang County, North Chungcheong Province, killing more than 300 people. Both air raids were conducted during the day, with good visibility, and there was no misjudgment."
"This is a photo taken by British diplomats at that time." Alan Wilson walked around Dean Rusk with the bound version of the photo. "Dear Mr. Secretary of State, the United States is indeed not a colonizer. The command of the Korean military is still in the United States.
Is it in the hands of the headquarters? The situation in Japan is similar to that in South Korea."
"I personally don't learn to ignore it. Graduating from Oxford University was completely accidental. With my shallow knowledge, I don't understand the difference between the current status of Japan and South Korea and the colonies."
"Given the current level of poverty in South Korea and South Korea's de facto military-style government, if this incident is known to citizens around the world, I wonder how the United States will deal with this public attack?"
"Also! This is the record of murders and rapes by US troops stationed in Japan in the past ten years." Alan Wilson smiled and took out a thicker investigation report, "More than 5,000 cases, which the Japanese government can record. Add up
It’s really appalling.”
"First of all, I am not blaming the US soldiers stationed abroad, because the British army is not very kind in the colonies. Of course, it is still much kinder than the US military. I only want to explain that if we look into the definition of a colonial empire, it may be
It will be embarrassing, and it is definitely not the UK that is embarrassed. The whole world knows that Britain is a colonial empire."
All the documents and photos taken out were carefully recorded. In fact, the Koreans themselves knew that the U.S. military had committed many massacres, which was also the reason for the anti-American wave in Korea in later generations.
This time, as expected, the talks collapsed again. Dean Rusk accused Britain of betraying the trust of the United States in its allies and going so far as to investigate sterilization.
"If the United States had not wanted to apply similar treatment to the United Kingdom, I would not have taken it out. The United States is still a trustworthy beacon. The United Kingdom is willing to archive these documents and not publish them. After all, when it comes to facing the Soviet Union,
, Britain also doesn’t want the reputation of the United States to be damaged. How can Britain really care about some isolated incidents in Japan and South Korea?”
