De Gaulle has long been the leader of the French military, even if he now has to live in seclusion.
France is a country prone to revolution at every turn, and the military is no exception. The person the French military admires most is Napoleon.
Because of this, de Gaulle, with the support of the military, became the president of France at the last moment of suppressing the Algerian war. Of course, de Gaulle did not make the military's wish come true in the end, because he was really not Napoleon.
It is precisely because of de Gaulle's seclusion that France is still in the midst of frequent changes of government. Only then did Alan Wilson think about whether he should do something about the establishment of NATO.
There are several advantages at present. French politics is in chaos. As a military leader, de Gaulle has been driven into seclusion by various political parties.
However, the United States has high hopes for France. After all, Germany does not exist. The only country in Europe that currently expects to confront the Soviet Union is France.
This is the true thinking of the United States, and it is definitely not what Alan Wilson induced to think so. He also has no ability to induce a country to make decisions. All he can do is to make the best of the situation. After judging the trends of the United States, it will be better for the United Kingdom to pay less and pay more.
profit.
Until now, Alan Wilson still thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that although he can defend against the Cambridge Five, he cannot defend against the sugar-coated bullets of the Dragoons. Moscow now has a clear understanding of the Federal Republic of Germany and NATO that are brewing in Western Europe.
Chu.
It is even known that Britain has a slight distrust in the combat effectiveness of the US military. This must be taken advantage of!
Moscow, which only acted but did not talk, suddenly increased the amount of military supplies entering North Korea, passing them through the hands of the People's Army, trying to embarrass the Eighth Army.
Alan Wilson, who left the gentle country of Dragoon, went to Paris like the American representatives to persuade the French to take into account the overall situation.
The French want to form a coal and iron community to suppress the Germans, and Britain has helped the French do this.
Although Alan Wilson used Australian iron ore as a backup to provide Britain with a back-up, it is undeniable that Britain helped the French out of goodwill. The benefits of the coal-iron community to France cannot be overemphasized.
Although the Marshall Plan has been implemented, the streets and alleys of Paris can still be seen at a glance. The momentum of the French Communist Party has not declined much. After all, it is an old revolutionary area. The influence of the French Communist Party can even last until the May storm.
On the train to Paris, the British and American representatives had already exchanged views. Alan Wilson still did not come forward. He just said through the British representative that the cornerstone of European stability lies in France, and the French Communist Party is now so powerful that American military bases should
Focus on France.
The advantage of this is to prevent the French Communist Party, the Soviet Union's leading party, from causing trouble once conflicts in Europe intensify.
Americans are convinced of this. Judging from the current situation, Italy and France, where the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party are located, must become the top priority of the United States' defense system in Europe.
"The British still have vision!" After listening to the British opinions, the American representatives also expressed their recognition of the diplomatic capabilities of the old imperialists when talking to each other.
After all, Alan Wilson came here to take credit for his achievements. The biggest purpose was to show up for a group photo when there were results. Naturally, he did not know the remarks of the official representatives. But he was not bragging, and he was not modest in comparison...
Since he was not an official negotiator, he actually had plenty of time. The first thing he did was to visit Hedy Lamarr, who had not appeared in the public eye for several months.
It is very normal for him to return to Europe to visit his beloved woman. In front of Hedy Lamarr, he naturally cannot say that he will come back to work. The main purpose is to return to Europe anxiously because of missing Hedy Lamarr.
"You should be an actor, how can you lie so calmly." Hedy Lamarr rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson angrily, "Let me ask you, why did you ask Ingrid to go to Asia? You
Do you want all the beautiful female celebrities to give you children?"
"Have you not been out for a long time?" Alan Wilson looked suspicious. "How do you know Ingrid has been to Asia? You don't know whether she has left Paris."
"Because Ingrid has been in contact with Greta recently, she hopes that Greta will help manage the affairs of Woodpecker Pictures and give her a year to rest." Hedy Lamarr curled her lips and said, "What happened and needed a year to rest? In addition to giving birth to a child,
child!"
Cough! Alan Wilson cleared his throat, bent down and kissed Hedy Lamarr's red lips with an affectionate look, and put his warm palm on Hedy Lamarr's belly, "It's my fault, but
I cannot remain indifferent to your amazing charm."
"Since Vivian, you must have said this many times, right?" Hedy Lamarr sighed, "I don't ask for anything else. I am older than you. Since you don't care now, in the future
We also have to accept the age gap."
Of course Alan Wilson swears by this, and there are not many people of the right age, such as the new generation of British actress Hepburn.
After Hedy Lamarr, Alan Wilson went to the Woodpecker Pictures headquarters. Ingrid Bergman's body shape was as usual, and there was no inconvenience shown.
Moreover, Ingrid Bergman is considered a very tall woman, so it is easier to hide the changes in her belly.
But in the face of the man's careful verification, Ingrid Bergman still embarrassedly admitted that it was indeed true.
"Are you very proud? There are so many beautiful women risking their reputations to give birth to your children." Ingrid Bergman gritted her silver teeth, "Now Woodpecker Pictures has assistants from Northern Rhodesia, you
Are you very happy?"
"Oh, Ingrid, you know, I'm not sensitive about money. What I like is to see the women I love succeed. I'm willing to help you for this. The successful acquisition of United Artists Pictures shows this.
What?"
Alan Wilson looked aggrieved and pitiful, hoping that Ingrid Bergman could forgive him for some of his personal ethics problems, and that capable men should receive more care.
"There's really nothing we can do about you." Ingrid Bergman glanced at her face and muttered secretly.
While Alan Wilson was seeking seniority and appeasing the women, the Korean Peninsula in August was evolving towards the familiar Busan defensive perimeter.
During the first confrontation in the Battle of Osan in July, the disastrous defeat of Task Force Smith, which was the first to participate in the battle, made the U.S. military understand the dilemma that the reinforcements were unable to protect themselves.
However, the 24th Infantry Division of the U.S. Eighth Army continued to resist in the central part of the Korean Peninsula. It was not defeated until the Battle of Daejeon in mid-July. When the entire division retreated on July 20, it lost 60% of its organizational equipment.
Forty-five percent of the total strength was lost, and the number of casualties exceeded 7,000. The division commander, Major General William Frisch Dean, was captured after the battle.
The half-month gained before the collapse of the 24th Infantry Division allowed the United Nations forces to step up reinforcements. After July, new United Nations reinforcements continued to arrive on the Korean Peninsula every day.
The 1st Cavalry Division and the 25th Infantry Division landed on the Korean Peninsula, and then assembled in Busan according to orders to build a defense line with Daegu as the core. After the fall of Jinju, the land controlled by the US-ROK coalition forces became what people remember.
The defensive perimeter of Busan.
This was the general background of Alan Wilson when he was seeking seniority, so he expressed his doubts about the United States' combat effectiveness through the British representative, Lord Markins of Sheffield, which made the American representative in Bonn feel uncomfortable.
Because facing a country that it had never heard of, the United States was beaten into disgrace. The commander of the 24th Infantry Division was captured and the troops were annihilated. It is indeed difficult for the United States to prove that the United States is what it says it is.
Powerful. The Soviet Union in Europe was much more difficult to deal with than North Korea.
The current leader of France is Rene Plivin, the eighth president of the French Council of Ministers after the war. Rene Plivin took office less than a month ago, replacing Henry Keyeur of the radical socialist party who was head of government for ten days.
The current head of the French government.
Rene Plevin's main idea is to establish a European Army! Alan Wilson can conclude that the establishment of a European Army is something that Americans definitely don't want to see.
Moreover, this will cast a shadow over the NATO being prepared by the United Kingdom and the United States. The opinions of various political factions in France are very different. At this time, the people leading France are interested in establishing a European army.
Alan Wilson and the Americans who came along felt that the goal might not be achieved so easily.
Sure enough, the development of things requires all conditions to be in place. During this period, France was led by a politician who was interested in European military forces, so the proposals of Britain and the United States were given a cold reception.
Seeing this situation, Alan Wilson sent a message to the Americans through Maxkins, couldn't he launch a coup or something?
This kind of suggestion with hidden evil intentions was naturally rejected by the Americans. After discussion, the Americans decided to use the old method of threatening to terminate the aid of the Marshall Plan to make the French bow their heads.
However, this move made Rene Plevin very disgusted. A politician who advocated the establishment of a European army had little goodwill towards the United States. How could he remain indifferent to such a threat?
Not to be outdone, he said that if the United States wanted to see the French Communist Party lead the French to welcome the Soviet Red Army after the Soviet Union invaded, it could do so.
At this point, the United States also changed its attitude, saying that the British should persuade the French to take the overall situation into consideration.
"Americans are addicted to using monetary threats. It just so happened that I met someone who didn't accept this trick." Makins said with a wry smile after learning the ins and outs of the matter.
"Yes!" Alan Wilson was confused. He didn't expect to meet such a politician. It seems that things have pros and cons. He was previously happy that NATO did not appear, which gave Britain more room for maneuver.
But now, seeing that France is not interested in NATO, I realize that some things require the right time, place, and people. It will be much more difficult to deal with it after that time.
