"As you said, Sir, Kissinger may create topics out of thin air to accuse us." Foreign Secretary Patrick's face was serious, indicating that he took Kissinger's visit seriously, "For example, accusing us of appeasement of the Soviet Union, of course.
We all understand that this is a problem between the United States and the Soviet Union."
"Regarding this matter, we can take the initiative to attack and say that Nixon's visit to China has not been widely recognized by the free world. The reason why we established diplomatic relations is to take care of the prestige of the United States. Since the United States now focuses on easing, then it will not accept the same system.
The Soviet Union's fierce confrontation will not be able to convince most of its allies, especially France."
Alan Wilson pointed out to the Foreign Secretary that he might as well take the initiative to divert trouble to the east, which will definitely have miraculous effects. "Remember that Kissinger had strongly promoted Nixon's visit to China. He would never sit back and watch his political legacy be abandoned, so he must
A sufficient explanation will be given on this issue, and we will use this as a breakthrough."
Of course, foreign affairs are not decided by a certain big country, and internal affairs are not decided by France. France is as important as a certain big country, or even more important, because France is in Europe.
Today's France is definitely much stronger than the France in Alan Wilson's memory. The mainland plus Algeria's three million square kilometers of land are there, and the weight is absolutely sufficient.
The area of the Roman Empire was only six million square kilometers. Now France has a territory of three million square kilometers. Even if it cannot be compared with the Roman Empire, it is still the size of the Western Roman Empire. Can such a country be ignored?
Of course, Algeria still shows signs of instability from time to time, and that's another problem.
Who dares to say that the territory of North Africa is not important? Do you know why the Roman Empire divided it from east to west? Instead of choosing the easier north-south division? The reason is that once the southern coast of the Mediterranean is lost, the northern part of the Roman Empire will not be self-sufficient at all. In this way, the Roman Empire
It will definitely turn into barbarians, and the north will cross the sea to attack the south.
The east-west division was a way of dividing the Roman Empire that took care of balance. In the early days of civilization, the southern shores of the Mediterranean were far more developed than the north. If Foreign Secretary Patrick had time, he could even teach Kissinger about history during the dialogue, showing that Britain was balanced.
The important presence of France is that blood is thicker than water. At critical moments, those who speak English still stand together.
After some surprise blame-shifting training, Foreign Secretary Patrick was also full of confidence in the upcoming meeting. Kissinger's special plane landed at London Airport, starting this European trip.
Prepare to communicate with the United Kingdom on the war in the Middle East, financial and energy cooperation, and even the international situation. At this moment, the United States needs the support of the United Kingdom more than ever. To demonstrate the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States in front of the world, Kissinger will definitely be able to achieve his goal.
, didn’t the British Mediterranean Fleet just arrive in the Far East, demonstrating the special relationship between Britain and the United States?
At the same time that Kissinger was visiting London, the news was immediately known to the Arab world due to the role of sources who did not want to be named. Now is the information age, and it is very normal for the Arab League to get the news.
At the same time, Pamela Mountbatten was also welcoming a guest, Nelson Rockefeller Jr., son of Nelson Rockefeller, who came to the UK in a private name this time, and met with the most powerful entrepreneur in the UK, Pamela Mountbatten.
Patton discusses extensive cooperation.
"Dear President Mountbatten, this may be a little inappropriate. My father will soon be the President of the United States. It is very likely that Nixon will not be able to survive this crisis." Nelson Jr. revealed his father's decision to Pamela Mountbatten shortly after the meeting.
, ready to bring his talents to the beautiful White House.
"Oh, that's really good news. But I think... the cabinet is more interested in this matter. Mr. Nelson may have made something wrong. I am not keen on politics." Pamela Mountbatten picked up a cup of black tea and sipped it lightly.
He took a sip and replied with all his elegance, "Actually, I might as well speak more clearly."
"The president's bluntness is shocking. In fact, my father's meaning is very clear. The United States is also in a difficult situation to a certain extent. Only when our two countries stand firmly together can the difficulties be overcome."
"Oh, Britain and the United States have a very special relationship in the international community, and they should indeed unite on many things." Pamela Mountbatten nodded with a smile and added, "But it depends on the specific things."
There is such a thing as patriotism in this world, and Pamela Mountbatten knew very well that her husband would not unilaterally sacrifice national interests and cooperate with the United States unconditionally.
And the Labor government would not allow it. This is not to say that the Labor government is so patriotic, but that it has become accustomed to it. The United States did not completely overthrow Britain and France after the war. After more than 20 years, the British government found that it seemed that
That's it, I'm used to the current situation, no matter how bad it gets, it won't get any worse.
Harold Wilson himself especially believed that he was an extremely pro-Soviet representative within the Labor government. Otherwise, why would there be rumors that the current Prime Minister was colluding with Russia?
"Kissinger hopes that Britain can call for a ceasefire on the Arab side." Wick continued to convey the dialogue about Kissinger's visit to the Cabinet Secretary-General's Office, "and the Foreign Secretary said that he would respond appropriately."
"Of course we will agree, because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States." Contrary to Wick's expectation, Alan Wilson directly agreed to come, and the supreme authority immediately told him that he was overthinking, "But you must add the following in front of the official letter issuing the note:
This was done at the request of the U.S. government."
The United States wants the United Kingdom to come forward to offend others? It's a good idea. As long as this sentence is added to the official note, the meaning will completely change.
Of course, the UK will try to broker a ceasefire from the perspective of maintaining the special relationship between the UK and the US, but this is what the US requested.
Once this incident spread throughout the Arab world, the Arab League would only think that Israel could not withstand it. In order to prevent Israel from losing too ugly, the United States persuaded the United Kingdom to make peace.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not only to help, but also to demonstrate the unprecedented efficiency of Whitehall and let the Arab League know the valuable opinions of the United States. Soon the ambassadors to Arab countries received such instructions
, the ambassadors were eager to convey the concerns of Washington.
When the news spread throughout the Arab world, all Arabs cheered, just as Alan Wilson predicted, and many took the U.S. pressure as evidence that Israel had run out of gas.
Of course, the Supreme Authority, a member of the Key Path, also knows the people in the Key Path very well, even if these fellow members are Arabs.
King Fouad II of Egypt immediately disclosed the news and at the same time issued a speech firmly defending Egypt's interests. "Unless Israel unconditionally restores the 1948 United Nations territory, there will be no basis for negotiations between the two sides. As for the role of the United States, the Arab world We already know it. If the war continues for a long time, it will be harmful to both sides, but the Arabs have no choice..."
"That's so good. It's as if the destruction of tanks of two armored divisions has never happened." Alan Wilson, who returned home, watched the Egyptian king's speech on the news that was almost about a protracted war, and was still wondering whether the chief had never fought. The matter of Barton.
"Little Nelson Rockefeller is here today. He wants to talk to me on behalf of his father, Vice President Rockefeller." Pamela Mountbatten took her husband's briefcase, sat down together, and began to tell the story of the Rockefeller family taking the wife route. Tell the whole story.
Alan Wilson did not speak. He listened to the whole story before saying, "It seems that the Republican Party has given up on Nixon. I think it won't be long before someone will talk to Nixon."
"So, Rockefeller will become the President of the United States?" Pamela Mountbatten murmured in surprise, "This is equivalent to you becoming the Prime Minister... Dear, slip of the tongue."
"Even if he replaces Nixon, it will be difficult to undo the bad effects." His wife, Ellen Wilson, ignored the gaffe and continued, "I think Rockefeller will solve the Israeli problem under Nixon, and then come forward to find Nixon. Are there no conditions? Do you have to at least make Rockefeller promise not to settle the score before agreeing to step down?"
Another thing Pamela Mountbatten said was that the United States was very sincere in working with the United Kingdom to solve the current economic problems around the world, and it actually found Pamela Mountbatten, a businessman.
Alan Wilson immediately knew that "promoting the increase in oil prices and tying up the U.S. dollar? To absorb the hundreds of billions of dollars in excess issuance, this will definitely cause inflation, and short-term economic problems are inevitable. However, the Rockefeller family is an oil tycoon, and the world is oil." Paying the price increase, the Rockefeller family is the exception."
"So what do you think? If you don't agree, I will reject him." Pamela Mountbatten said obediently. Of course she knew that her husband had always defended Britain's interests.
"This is really a difficult choice. Saudi Arabia has the lowest cost of oil production among the countries in the Middle East. It can even be 50% lower than the cost of the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. In fact, the United States can do this as long as it persuades Saudi Arabia. .But because there are still British troops in the Middle East, especially the Persian Gulf, if we strongly resist, it will be a tug of war. Even if the United States finally achieves its goal, it will suffer from long-term inflation. Of course, the United States will also use Use all means to force Europe to submit."
Alan Wilson explained the stakes to his wife, why Europe cannot get rid of Russian natural gas in a short period of time? The most fundamental reason is that it is cheap.
Saudi Arabia is the country with the lowest oil production costs in the world. Although the UK did not seem to be afraid of the oil embargo when dealing with Iran, Saudi Arabia is completely different.
"What should we do? Does Europe have the ability to resist?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, "Can you solve this problem? How about uniting with France?"
"It's not a problem between our two countries. U.S. troops are all over Europe." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about what conditions to offer. The Japanese yen problem should be solved. There should be other benefits that can be obtained. I have to let
