British civil servant

"Do that kind of thing before you get married!" Princess Margaret cursed in her heart, and she couldn't see that kind of sanctimonious appearance.

Because the crown prince also visits Canada, it is impossible to spend all his time in Newfoundland, that is, Alan Wilson, who came to the logging area to praise himself, and sent his fiancée and Her Royal Highness back to St. Johns.

Back at St. John's Alan Wilson, say hello to the Crown Prince and his wife who have been running the Newfoundland resident profile lately.

"I don't know when the respected crown prince will leave for Canada." Alan Wilson asked proactively.

"I think I can leave in a few days." Prince Elizabeth thought for a while, "Canada is next to Newfoundland, I think I can go earlier."

In front of the Crown Prince and Prince Philip, Alan Wilson took the time to calculate the time, and said, "In terms of time, it would be most appropriate if the Crown Prince had already left North America when the Newfoundland referendum was held. Satisfactory results have been obtained. Therefore, I personally agree with the Crown Prince’s itinerary. This visit will allow many friendly allies to see the charm of the Crown Prince and his wife. It is definitely a good thing for the maintenance of British influence.”

Crown Prince Elizabeth nodded. The countries he visited were not limited to those few countries. In fact, he also wanted to visit some colonies.Not as much time as expected.

Alan Wilson is not urging the crown prince and his wife to get on the road, but is completely considering the maximization of interests.Considering the image of the crown prince and his wife, it is best to leave Canada and sail the seas when the referendum in Newfoundland officially begins.

As for Canada, of course he himself does not want Newfoundland to be given to this neighboring country next to the United States.

Don’t look at Canada after the war, just like the United States, because of the ruins of Europe, it has achieved tremendous development. In terms of national strength, it is second only to the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union and ranks fourth in the world. However, its fourth place is not much different from China in the eyes of the United States. Maybe even less important than Mexico.

The downside of Canada maintaining a Canadian-US security partnership with the United States is that no matter what the United States chooses to do, Canada may have to submit unconditionally as a satellite state, fighting alongside the United States in any foreseeable conflict with the Soviet Union.Nevertheless, maintaining Canada-US security cooperation is still of great benefit to promoting harmonious relations between the two countries.

In February last year, Canada and the United States jointly issued the "Joint Statement", which marked that Canada and the United States have moved towards a military alliance.You must know that even if history continues as usual, NATO will be established next year, and there are still no shadows now.

Of course, before the 60s and [-]s, Canada would still fight against the infiltration of the United States and try its best to maintain independence.But with the weakening of Britain's national strength, Canada has to stay close to the United States.

So considering this, Alan Wilson felt that even if Newfoundland was given to Canada, it would not be able to maintain its influence. Instead, keeping it in his hands would make Canada feel the presence of the United Kingdom from time to time.

After consideration, Crown Prince Elizabeth also thought this was more appropriate, and discussed the itinerary with Prince Philip.

Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, with such a crown prince, how could he not be supported?Then he glanced at the other princess, who existed in a completely contrasting image.

Then he went to send a telegram, and he took his fiancee with him. Alan Wilson has always maintained a high-frequency telegraph habit, sharing his experience in colonial construction with colleagues from all over the world to learn from each other and make progress together.

Of course, not all the people who contacted were colonial officials. He also kept in regular contact with Sir Alexander Cadogan, the British ambassador to the United Nations.

At present, the India-Pakistan war and the Palestine-Israel conflict are the focus of controversy in the United Nations. Alan Wilson knew that the United Kingdom could not interfere, but he was worried about the loss of British influence. He was worried about this and even started to read the United Nations Charter. There is no way.

Then he discovered that since the establishment of the United Nations, there was no such thing as a peacekeeping force.The emergence of the peacekeeping force is really related to the United Kingdom. Its origin is the Suez Canal War in which the United Kingdom lost its master.

After the Suez Canal War, in order to prevent the war from recurring, then Canadian Foreign Minister Pearson proposed the establishment of a peacekeeping force, which was finally adopted, and Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for this.

People like him copied all diplomacy in the third ring, and the former prime minister didn't give him face. Naturally, he didn't care whether a method was original to Canada. He thought it was his, and then unconditionally transferred it to Sir Alexander, who is the ambassador of the United Nations. The position is just right for showing up.

4Chapter 17 Hitting East and West

The main reason for the defeat of the Arab coalition forces in the first Middle East war was their own, which was obviously different from the strength of the subsequent Middle East wars. Alan Wilson remembered that after the end of the armistice period, although Israel had a small population, it was mobilized The army is more than the Arab coalition forces, with more Israeli troops.

As for the current situation?It depends on how well his respected boss, Sir Barron's Persian Gulf commissioner, can show the British Empire's shit-stirring skills.

As a former subordinate, it is normal for him to say hello to his former boss from time to time.It is not a mistake that overseas civil servants should unite as one.

"Both the Iraqi royal family and the Jordanian royal family issued mobilization orders, and a large number of residents enlisted in the army. The Iraqi army marched from the Mesopotamia to the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The Kingdom of Iraq first set an example, and all countries have a strong will to fight. The Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian armies They are also gathering, and the total strength of the Arab coalition has exceeded 20."

"Wow!" Alan Wilson compared with the memory in his mind. It seems that the first Middle East war in history, the Arab coalition army was only 5 to [-]. After the armistice period expired, the Israeli army has exceeded [-]. When the Soviet Union and the United States arrived in Israel, the Arab coalition forces were weak in terms of quality and quantity.

Now it seems that the Arab side is at least somewhat serious about the number of people, and the current number alone is already a number that Israel cannot mobilize anyway.

With the increase in the strength of the Arab coalition forces, even if Israel does not waste the time for the truce, the difficulties it will face will only be greater than in history.

The problem between Israel and the Arabs is actually too simple, and the Arabs can lose until the next century.Israel cannot lose even once, and if it loses, Israel will disappear.

The time of the first Middle East war and the number of people are still very important factors. If the numbers mobilized by the Arab countries are not mixed, at least they are all composed of personnel with combat experience, and it is still difficult for Israel to win.In the end, it hurts both sides, even if the Arabs win.

The Arabs are the main ethnic group in the Middle East, and the speed of recovery must be faster than that of Israel. Every death in Israel means one less. Egypt alone has a population of 600 million, and Iraq and Syria have a population of 400 million.The population of Israel is only 80.

Judging from the current situation, the Arab countries have assembled 20 troops with only one mobilization order.And Israel has almost tapped out its potential.

In the reply to his old boss, Alan Wilson said in the telegram, "Actually, it is not a challenge to be clear. Announcing the total population of Israel will not make the UK feel more morally guilty, isn't it? Are the facts wrong? Regarding the import of arms from the United States and the Soviet Union to Israel, from the perspective of the empire, there is no need to hide it from the Arabs."

Allen Wilson just digs holes. As for whether the Arabs are properly tapping their internal potential and are determined to pile up Israel with crowd tactics, this is none of his business.

Another fact that is publicized is that the United States announced its recognition of the State of Israel 1 minutes after the Israeli Declaration of Independence was issued.The Soviet Union was the second country to recognize Israel. Although this was three months ago, it would not do Britain any harm to repeat it.

The hegemony of public opinion is the only means that Britain has not been affected after the war. At this moment, the second ceasefire period of more than a month is about to end, and the Israeli army, which has taken on a new look, feels the mysterious power from the edge of the world. A mysterious force, this time the historical truce to slow down the war also increased the strength of the Arab coalition forces.

Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad successively announced that the two ceasefire periods have been regarded as respecting the authority of the United Nations, and there will not be a third one. The 20 mobilized Arab coalition forces are far from all, and they will never stop until they drive Israel into the sea.

When Crown Prince Elizabeth departed from Newfoundland for a visit to Canada, the entire Palestine area became an endless barracks, and all the troops mobilized from the Arab countries had arrived.

The 20 Arab coalition forces with the weapons of the British army in the Middle East confronted the 100 Israeli army equipped with more than [-] aircraft and [-] warships, and they would be thrown into the fight as soon as the ceasefire period ended.

Summarizing the current situation, Alan Wilson feels that it is time to save... Pakistan.

It is Pakistan. It is more in line with the identity of the United Kingdom to use the plan of the United Nations peacekeeping force in the India-Pakistan war. India and Pakistan have just become independent. In the impression of various countries, it is more reasonable for the United Kingdom to call for a solution to the India-Pakistan issue at the United Nations.

But in fact, given the current situation in India and Pakistan, Nehru is likely to refuse the presence of the UN peacekeeping force.No matter what, Alan Wilson has met the leaders of great powers more than once, and he still has a little understanding of Nehru.

At any rate, Nehru was a founding leader with ideals. He also believed that India was a powerful and impressive country, and he would definitely not let any UN peacekeeping force enter. In his eyes, India's inherent territory.

If he agrees, what kind of big country is there to be?The proposal of the peacekeeping force will definitely be rejected by India. After all, India believes that it has the advantage.

But the issue of Palestine is different. Although there are many Arab coalition forces, they belong to different countries after all.But the current situation is indeed very scary, and Israel did not take advantage of the previous two ceasefires.

Now the number of Arab coalition forces is still on the rise, and Israel’s potential has been exhausted. There are only 80 people, and no matter how mobilized, they can’t go up. The choice before Israel is to win. If you lose, you will definitely die. .

As far as the Arabs are concerned, the public opinion now declares that the effect of fighting is the same as winning. Be prepared to kill Israel, and it will take advantage if you lose both sides, and your morale will be guaranteed.

The commanders of the Arab coalition forces extending to the front line of Palestine have already publicly called for many people to drive the Israelis into the sea even if it is a one-for-one exchange.

"Sir Alexander, let's give the United States a step down. If India refuses the peacekeeping troops, it depends on whether the United States will jump into the pit by itself. With the current situation, even if Israel wins in the end, there will not be many people left. I believe that as long as you raise this proposal in the UN General Assembly, the United States may use it to defend Israel."

"Taking a step back, even if the United States sits and watches Israel's demise, it will not cause any loss to the United Kingdom. Anyway, Israel is not on our side."

After sending the telegram, Alan Wilson blew a whistle in a relaxed mood, showing his current joy.

Linking the India-Pakistan war with the Palestine-Israel war gave him a sense of accomplishment, and it didn't matter if they both failed.Anyway, it will be lost sooner or later. As long as one of these two wars is successfully intervened, it will be considered a profit.

Boris just walked in, saw the appearance of Alan Wilson, and said in surprise, "Governor, you seem to be very happy that the crown prince left Newfoundland."

"Nonsense, I am loyal to the crown prince, and how can I be happy when my fiancée just left, be careful what you say, or I will sue you for defamation." The dog's heart behind the saddle.

Because of the relationship of the Third Reich, the Jewish power has shifted from Europe to the United States during the war. At present, the so-called stronghold of Jewish power is the same as in the 21st century.

The situation in the Middle East is also a headache for the United States. It is a fact that the United States is the first country to recognize Israel.

Seeing that Israel is at a disadvantage, it is also a fact that it has negotiated a ceasefire through the United Nations twice in succession.

But it does not mean that the United States is willing to severely offend Arab countries, and the Soviet Union is also unwilling to offend.Only for some reason, the United States and the Soviet Union temporarily sided.

However, since the United Kingdom has been pressured to withdraw the British officer corps commanding the Arab coalition forces, the United States cannot change the fact that Egypt alone is [-] times the population of Israel. Together with the populations of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, the number of people participating in the war The population of the Arab countries is fifty times that of Israel.

The United States is also unwilling to offend the Arab countries too much, which is not good for the plan to block the Soviet Union. The United States is only temporarily standing with the Soviet Union, which does not mean that it will let the Soviet Union go.

However, the Jewish forces in the United States have become popular, and the Jews have undergone genocide in Germany. Supporting them is politically correct. The United States must prove that the United States is more moral than the previous colonial countries. The combination of these two factors means that the United States still supports Israel. Washington is also in a dilemma.

At the time when the United States was in distress, the British ambassador to the United Nations, Sir Alexander Cadogan, had read Alan Wilson's telegram.

At the United Nations meeting on the India-Pakistan war three days later, Sir Alexander Cadogan said, "The war between India and Pakistan has caused a large number of casualties. We, the United Kingdom, propose to set up a peacekeeping force to station in Kashmir to stop India and Pakistan. Pakistan is at war, ensuring the safety of the lives and properties of the local people, achieving a ceasefire, and allowing Kashmiri residents to make their own choices, whether to become part of Pakistan, part of India, or independent."

After Sir Alexander Cadogan finished his speech, the venue immediately remembered the buzz, and the Indian representative stood up and objected, "For the Kashmir issue, other countries are not interested parties, so there is no need to get involved. I have nothing to say at the moment, but I believe Prime Minister Nehru will give an accurate answer."

Chapter 448

Under fierce opposition from Indian representatives, no resolution was reached on sending peacekeeping troops to Kashmir.

"However, this matter can be used in the Palestine-Israel war, right?" After the meeting, the representatives of the United States communicated with each other when they left the venue. The matter of organizing the peacekeeping force just now was agreed by most countries except India, and even On the one hand, Pakistan also agrees with this.

"Things in India are still troublesome. We can't offend this largest new country. It may allow the Soviets to take advantage of it and establish influence in India. We have verified through the British that Nehru is indeed a socialist. However, once the United States stands on the opposite side of India, it may cause India to fall to the Soviet Union, which is not good for the interests of the United States."

"There are also problems in the Palestine-Israel war. Although we have used diplomatic channels to pressure London to give up supporting the Arab coalition forces, the United Kingdom has been operating in the Middle East for a long time and has told the Arabs all about Israel through the power of public opinion. Now the Arab countries in the Middle East The morale is high, and the Jews with a population of only 80 must be driven into the sea."

The U.S. representatives walked and discussed, not without admiration in their mouths. The British Empire's stirring methods are indeed well-deserved. The U.S. can't criticize invisible public opinion.

Although it is widely advertised in the Arab world, the United States was the first country to recognize Israel.The problem is that this is not false, the United States is indeed the first country to recognize Israel.

Furthermore, it is said that Israel has only a population of 80. Although it is definitely sinister, it is difficult to grasp the handle and exert pressure.Because this is also a fact, but this fact, let the Arabs know it and then be used, which inspired the fighting spirit of the Arabs.

On the contrary, as the number of Arab troops mobilized increased, the two armistice periods won did not seem to change the dilemma faced by the Israelis.

The United Kingdom, in fact, is Alan Wilson. This live broadcast of throwing bombs into the latrine really left the Americans with nothing to do.

"Let's discuss it with the Soviets!" As soon as the words came out, several American diplomats nodded frequently.

Although as early as [-], the Second World War had passed the peak of the military struggle, and the period when politics occupied a greater proportion.

During this period, the blueprint for the post-war world designed by the United States was: "Establish a free trade system worldwide. The obstacles to this major policy goal are the flood of social revolution after the war and the expansion of the Soviet Union's sphere of influence.

This plan regards the Soviet Union as an enemy, but the enemy is not incapable of cooperation. The United States was the first to announce the recognition of the State of Israel.The Soviet Union was the second country to recognize Israel.For the nascent state of Israel, the interests of the United States and the Soviet Union were aligned.

During the ceasefire period, Israel obtained a large amount of small arms, artillery and ammunition from Czechoslovakia, which is a proof.Regular airlifts from Prague to Rehovot were even organized.The plane was purchased from the United States.During the Palestine War, US-Soviet coexistence diplomacy was evident.

From the founding of Israel to the outbreak of war, Washington and Moscow have maintained communication and adopted a position of mutual support for Israel. Now the United States just needs the help of the Soviet Union again.

The communication technology in modern society is not comparable to that of ancient times. After making up his mind, Washington immediately contacted Moscow to express the common position of the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Send peacekeeping troops to Palestine?" Stalin listened to Molotov's words, and then said, "In this way, isn't the Soviet Union standing on the opposite side of the Arab countries? We can give convenience diplomatically, but we can't let the soldiers of the Red Army standing in front of the Arab soldiers."

"This matter is really troublesome. Although the United Kingdom withdrew its military force under the pressure of the United States, it deliberately used tactics before leaving. In terms of diplomacy and public opinion, Israel was very passive." Moluoto The husband pondered for a while, and thought of an example, "Just like the evacuation in British India, it has now led to war between India and Pakistan."

"This example is very vivid!" Stalin showed a fatherly smile. "According to some reliable sources, when Britain allows the colonies to be independent in the future, it will adopt similar methods and use partition to deal with the wave of independence."

Molotov sighed for a long time, and said for a long time, "In this case, the British are too shameless. Whether the news is reliable or not, according to our analysis of the British colonial governance policy, the British will generally choose to merge colonies to rule, regardless of whether the news is reliable or not. Whether it was the white dominions of Canada, Australia, India, or Malaya, many small colonies were merged, and at present, only British India has been re-partitioned."

"The policy can be changed. Perhaps the British discovered the benefits." Stalin narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "As for the source of information, Comrade Molotov only needs to know that it is absolutely reliable."

Stalin still fully trusted the information from the Cambridge Five. These foreign comrades with ideals were more real than a certain moral vacuum.

"Then since we can't stand on the opposite side of the Arab countries, should we reject the proposal of the Americans?" Molotov consulted the Supreme Leader. After all, this matter involves the major policies of the country. Although it is related to diplomacy, it is also It's not what a foreign minister says.

"No, we agree that the current situation in the Middle East is dominated by the old colonial powers represented by the United States and Britain and France. Israel is an opportunity, and it is still effective. We all understand that Israel will inevitably fall to the United States after a long time. There is also psychological preparation for this. So we must be cautious in the method of support.” Stalin sighed, “We support the US peacekeeping force plan, support is support, but military force must not be used, and even if we want to, the Americans will If not, would they want soldiers of the Soviet Red Army to stand on the soil of the Middle East?"

If the Soviet Union controls the Middle East, the oil supply of European and American countries will be cut off, and Europe will be surrounded. Without firing a single shot from the Soviet Union, Europe will have to practice neutrality.

Stalin could understand this problem, and so could the United States, Britain and France. This is the real situation in the Middle East. No one is the same as anyone. Britain and France are still struggling. The three countries are tied together and stand on the opposite side of the Arabs.

But at present, the British are not fuel-efficient lamps. Using the power of public opinion that has not been damaged, Arab countries, especially those with royal families, make them think that the United States and the Soviet Union are the biggest supporters of Israel, while the United Kingdom is completely Two fists are no match for four hands.

The strength of the United States is currently the strongest among the countries involved, but Britain and France are veteran players in the Middle East after all.

The Soviet Union is right in front of us. The United States is certainly the strongest, but it also has its own difficulties. The first is the Jewish forces in the country, and the second is that, like the Soviet Union, there is no good entry point.

As a new player, the United States has no choice but to support Israel because of the Jewish power in the country and its identity as a new player like the Soviet Union. Only by establishing influence in the Middle East through Israel and having a foundation can it think about expanding its power. Everything begins Difficult, this is the situation facing the United States.

As long as Israel is kept, there will always be a chance to slowly expand its influence in the Middle East in the future.

After discussions between Stalin and Molotov, Moscow officially responded to Washington, saying it would support the UN proposal to send peacekeeping troops.The premise is that Israel accepts it!

There are two major issues for the United Nations in the near future. Like Moscow, New Delhi is also holding a meeting to discuss them.However, the opinions are surprisingly unanimous, that is, they refuse to let the troops of other countries intervene on the Kashmir issue.

Both Nehru and Patel believe that this is the preparation for the British to make a comeback. You must know that there is a brigade-sized British army that has been stuck in the Junagadh state since the outbreak of the war in Kashmir. Another brigade was in Portuguese Goa, apparently watching the progress of the war.

Now the British are still watching. If India can't win the Kashmir War beautifully, at least it has an advantage. Maybe the British think they can make a comeback.

Of course, compared to Patel's strong refusal, Nehru still said to the ministers of various departments present, "Of course we must reject foreign forces' intervention in Kashmir, but diplomatic work is not blindly showing toughness. The British in India said that the special relationship between Britain and India still exists, and the relationship between the two countries will not fade because of India's independence."

Nehru's words made many people nod involuntarily. In their eyes, although the British Empire is no longer thriving, it is still one of the most powerful countries in the world. It is not inferior to the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Let the ambassador in London obtain the understanding of the British, but at the UN General Assembly, we will maintain our previous attitude and have to sternly refuse."

Discussions are taking place in various countries involved ahead of formal discussions on the peacekeeping force proposal.

Israel, which is the core of the proposal, is of course in favor of this, and even approached the United States on its own initiative, saying that if India rejects the proposal of the United Nations to send peacekeeping troops, it does not matter, and Israel agrees.

If this is Israel a few decades later, it will definitely not call for peace before the war, but at this time in [-], the newly born Israel is still reasonable, and there is no inflation accumulated from the victory of the Middle East war. .

As a country facing the Arab coalition forces directly, Israel can best feel what it feels like when more and more armed countries are gradually piled up together.

Chapter 449 Freedom of Battlefield Information

The leader of Britain in the world war was Churchill. This is a well-known fact. Except for being obsequious in front of the United States, Churchill fought hard in front of all countries.

Then came the fact that the amount of aid the United States gave to Britain was far less than the amount of aid Britain gave to all anti-German countries. Britain's aid to the Soviet Union exceeded 11 billion pounds, and the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar was one to four.

The U.S. aid to the United Kingdom, through the operation of the Lend-Lease Act, actually exchanged the U.S. assets of 80 billion U.S. dollars in the United States. I don’t know if the Americans made a profit, but they certainly did not lose money.

In the world war, the UK led by Churchill did more than just aid the Soviet Union?

After World War II, until Churchill stepped down, in order to maintain stability in the Middle East, the United Kingdom spent a lot of effort to support the Arab League to meet the requirements of Britain's own strategic defense.

In this context, a month before Germany surrendered, representatives of Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan, and Yemen held a signing ceremony in Cairo to form the Arab League.

The Arab League, which was also supported by Britain, held a meeting in Beirut and decided to send the Army of the Arab League to Palestine after the British army retreated.
