Of course he is taking the third route, but Alan Wilson did not discuss this issue in depth with his father-in-law. Even if he did, De Gaulle would not listen. France would still establish diplomatic relations with a certain big country. He just said in an understatement, "It may be that Britain monopolizes trade with China."
It’s heartbreaking to imagine that our happy time is coming to an end.”
"But, Marshal, you also talked about the situation in Vietnam with your friends?" Alan Wilson was still more concerned about the Saigon moment and was not very concerned about what was going to happen to France.
France has nothing to worry about. If France makes trouble, the United States will rely more on Britain for the situation in Europe. This is at least not a bad thing for Britain.
You must know that France is much stronger than in history, and the current Britain is also stronger than in history. In other words, both Britain and France have more united front value than in history.
Mountbatten nodded and repeated what he said about the situation in Vietnam in the United States in front of his son-in-law, "According to my experience in Southeast Asia, in addition to establishing a national government that is truly accepted by the people,...anything that relies on external forces to maintain rule
Neither regime will succeed. Although I think it is very important for South Vietnam to stand on its own outside the 'Bamboo Curtain' by establishing a progressive ethnic government, I do not think it is possible to achieve this goal by military means."
Alan Wilson was really surprised that his father-in-law still had such an understanding. In a sense, this was a reminder that the United States might not be able to win! No wonder the Pentagon was unhappy with Mountbatten's advice. Instead, Alan Wilson was from the Pentagon.
General, he won't be happy either.
"The Marshal and I have the same judgment, but the Americans are really unwilling to listen to such words." Alan Wilson's words were half true and half false, and Marshal Mountbatten was really doing it for the good of the United States.
I hope the United States will not waste its national power in a place like South Vietnam. It is not like his son-in-law harbors evil intentions and talks about the special relationship between Britain and the United States. In his heart, he wishes the United States would jump into the trap immediately. "At the moment when we are ruling Malaya, it may not be possible for us to say this to the Americans."
It is not convincing. On the contrary, the United States may also believe that this is an opportunity to compete with the United Kingdom for control of Southeast Asia."
This is not impossible. After all, there are many reasons. Maybe this is one of the excuses for the Pentagon to start a war.
But at least now it can be clearly judged that the United States will definitely intervene in the Vietnam War. This is certain. The only question is when it will start.
"Once the Americans are defeated, will it affect the confidence of the free world?" Marshal Mountbatten is far from as calm and calm as his son-in-law. He was a soldier and participated in World War II, so he did not want war to come.
"Don't worry, the United States actually has an important chess piece in its hands. If it doesn't lose this chess piece, it won't be a total loss." Alan Wilson comforted his father-in-law. This important chess piece is Scam Island.
The effect of Scam Island on the United States is so great that it is equivalent to the testicles of a certain big country being held in the hands of Americans, and they have to pinch it from time to time. Looking at the sour expression of a certain big country can make Washington feel happy physically and mentally.
In the foreseeable future, there will be no solution. This chess piece is so effective. No matter what difficulties the United States encounters or how strong the Soviet Union becomes, the United States will not abandon Scam Island in the Cold War.
The Strait is not an obstacle to the United Kingdom, but it is like a natural chasm to countries with incompetent navies.
Even if we have to give up in the end, destroying Scam Island America is not a loss. After all, the dead are all Chinese. The number of 23 million is not too much in Alan Wilson's opinion anyway. What can we do if they all die?
Sample?
The United States will definitely do this. Ukrainians are still Slavs, and Slavs are also white. There are no psychological disorders in the United States, let alone people of color.
The communication with Marshal Mountbatten made Alan Wilson feel happy physically and mentally. He already knew that it was only a matter of time before the Vietnam War started, and even his work status improved a lot in a good mood.
The two men are almost equivalent to two naked officials, one represents the army and the other represents Whitehall. It can be said that Whitehall's influence on the military is irreplaceable, especially since Marshal Mountbatten accepted his son-in-law's suggestion.
, also supports Marks to become the permanent undersecretary of defense, replacing Sir Coster.
"Are you planning for my retirement?" Mountbatten was a politician-type soldier. He could see at a glance that his son-in-law was twisting and turning. This was to strengthen his influence on the military. Through Sheffield, which was already deeply tied up
Your Lordship will proceed.
"Marshal, the relationship between Whitehall and the military should indeed be close. Only in this way can the government be unified and people can be harmonious. This relationship should continue to better serve Great Britain." Alan Wilson started a long speech, describing the various benefits.
It's good for Whitehall and good for the military. Simply put, yes.
Mountbatten couldn't help but smile. He found that his son-in-law had the kind of revolutionary optimism that the Soviet Union said. He was not worried about the United States' military interest in South Vietnam, nor was he worried about France establishing diplomatic relations with a certain big country. The most interesting thing is that even Mountbatten himself and
After chatting for a while, the son-in-law felt that nothing would happen today.
Alan Wilson was a person who had seen the war in Ukraine. He wanted to fast forward to it. The President of the United States, Sleeping King, claimed, "Russia is a broken house. Now we only need to give it a hard kick, and the whole building will be destroyed."
Collapsed."
Now he has one thing to do, which is to remind the French that they are disloyal to the United States. The evidence is clear. France wants to establish diplomatic relations with a certain big country. To this end, the cabinet secretary has to write a flattering article to lead freedom for the United States.
The world praises France and criticizes France for undermining the unity of the free world and even destroying world peace.
Yes, it is destroying world peace, because France's pursuit of independence was actually called calling for world multipolarity decades later. The word multipolarity itself is destroying world peace.
Isn’t it right? From the perspective of the United States, some people are calling for multipolarity, which is subversion of world peace.
And history has proven that before World War I, the five European powers refused to submit to each other, which was a kind of multipolarity. The result, as everyone saw, was to fight against each other.
A world war will not break out in a world with one level or even two powers. It is precisely in a multi-polar world that a world war will not be far away.
Alan Wilson knows very well that a certain major country in a few decades does not want a true multi-polar world. The worst is for two powers to stand side by side, which is no different from the pursuit of the United States. Once a true multi-polar world emerges, war will
It won't be far.
This article, which praises the United States and flatters France for establishing diplomatic relations with a certain major country, took half an hour of the Cabinet Secretary's time to publish. The core idea is to support the United States' leadership of the free world and angrily criticize France for wanting to establish itself on its own.
The move was then handed over to The Times, which had a financial relationship with his wife, for publication.
On the road to practicing the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson has never looked back, and even specifically reminded France not to forget who was behind the disgraceful retreat from Vietnam. While the United States was sharpening its sword, the United Kingdom expressed its views at a critical moment.
Support for the United States.
Along with the public support for the United States in this article, Alan Wilson routinely performed a two-pronged operation. On the one hand, he maliciously allowed the United States to benefit South Vietnam, while on the other hand, he told the United States that France was disloyal and was secretly communicating with a certain big country.
, if the United States wants to maintain its hegemony, it is time to strike hard.
In Washington, the capital of the United States, Secretary of Defense McNamara was conveying the Pentagon's assessment of the current situation in South Vietnam to President Lyndon Johnson, "Mr. President, the deterioration of the situation in South Vietnam cannot be saved by special warfare. To put it bluntly, special warfare
It has failed. If we want to reverse the situation in South Vietnam, we must intervene in Vietnam on a large scale, which cannot be achieved by maintaining the current scale of the military garrison."
Special warfare is a strategy formulated by the Kennedy administration to intervene in the situation in Vietnam. This kind of special forces is generally small in scale, and its organization and weapons and equipment vary from place to place. It usually undergoes specialized training such as counter-guerrilla warfare, and mainly uses irregular combat forms. It can also be used when necessary.
Can assist and cooperate with regular operations.
However, special warfare has proven to be useless. Without large-scale military intervention as a backing, the US special forces in Vietnam are extremely difficult to deal with the Vietcong guerrillas, let alone achieve any results. South Vietnam has now been infiltrated.
It was a sieve, and the combat effectiveness of the South Vietnamese army was also disappointing.
"Has the situation proven serious?" Lyndon Johnson held the Pentagon documents and frowned. "Indonesia has been occupied by the Soviet bloc. Do they want to pursue the victory and occupy the entire Indochina Peninsula? And then the entire Southeast Asia.
Occupation? What a terrifying prospect.”
"Although I don't want to admit it, the dominoes seem to be crumbling." McNamara looked grim. "Once the entire Southeast Asia is lost, the entire eastern Asian free world will no longer have a foothold, and the pressure on Europe will suddenly increase. Soviet control
The Eurasian continent will be destroyed, which will be a disaster for the United States."
"We need a reason." Lyndon Johnson understood the Pentagon's thinking and hinted to McNamara.
"Enable free cruising and blockade the North Vietnamese coastline." McNamara immediately gave his own suggestion. "When France fought in Vietnam, the British used this method. The risk is not great, and North Vietnam has no way to deal with it.
Navy weapons that inflict lethal damage.”
Lyndon Johnson nodded, acquiescing to this approach. At the end of December, the U.S. Congress voted to pass a proposal to patrol Tokyo Bay, stipulating that starting from February 1, the U.S. Navy will begin patrolling in Tokyo Bay to protect the local waters.
The freedom of navigation was approved by a unanimous vote.
"Wow!" Holding the U.S. Congressional vote sent by Dixon, Alan Wilson carefully listened to the strongest voice from the city on the hill. Is the Tokyo Bay Incident already brewing?
It was as if a word was ringing in my ears. The United States was almost saying to North Vietnam, "You go down with the trend and suppress my mount. This is not a big wave. If you dare to take another step forward, the world will be turned upside down!"
