British civil servant

In the outline of the French state, Spain and Italy, as countries with Latin culture, are extremely important to France.

The attitudes of the two countries are extremely important. At this time, Alan Wilson didn't know that there was a huge figure who had just realized that he had the upper hand in my judgment, and was eager to try to give eye medicine to the united free world.

Sometimes, fate will make a person make a choice that he does not want to face. Take Harold Wilson as an example. As the newly appointed foreign secretary, he will of course make the United States the first destination of his visit. Highlight the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

But he did not expect that the visit would be completed in such an environment. Harold Wilson, who had just taken the position of foreign minister, had to endure a rather difficult test.

Discuss with the United States about the current political situation in France, and adopt a common position when necessary, but the United States is also in a state of distress. A few days ago, the US Seventh Fleet was engaged in an operation that only attacked Chiang Kai-shek ships and did not attack American ships. Embarrassed.

The United States does not recognize the claim of a territorial sea of ​​twelve nautical miles. It is precisely this concept that originated in Iceland and is now used by European colonial countries, and has been quickly followed by a certain major country.It was used on the provocative Seventh Fleet.

When Harold Wilson visited Washington, it was the news that some people did not give face to the largest navy on earth. He had to deal with it carefully to prevent Britain from being dragged into the water by the United States.

The Labor Party's avoidance of participating in the Korean War is an achievement that the Labor Party has always promoted. As the Foreign Secretary of the Labor Party government, Harold Wilson cannot make mistakes on this occasion.

"Europe is more important than any other place." Facing US Secretary of State Dulles, Harold Wilson expressed his concern about the situation in France with a dignified face. The security of Europe requires the joint efforts of Britain and the United States, while France The security of Europe is at the heart of European security.

"Mr. Harold, the United States also believes that Europe is more important than other directions." Dulles looked sad, and he was a little absent-minded even when he was talking to Harold Wilson.

Only fight Jiang ships, not American ships.It's just that there is a lot of noise in the media. For him, there is one thing that is more important than things on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and that is that the situation in Cuba has aroused Washington's concerns.

Two years ago, the situation in Cuba gradually got out of control, and the government forces supported by the United States gradually fell into a disadvantage. Last summer, Cuban revolutionaries issued a land reform declaration. According to these documents, the liberated areas confiscated the land of the landlords and distributed them to the farmers.The social base of the revolution expanded.Farmers, workers, college students and others joined the uprising team one after another.

Castro used this to reorganize the guerrillas into an insurgent army, with thousands of armed forces.The current pro-Soviet forces in Cuba have grown into a serious problem, developing and growing under the nose of the United States.

At the same time when street politics emerged in France, the United States was joining forces with Cuban government forces to encircle and suppress. The Batista government dispatched more than 1 troops, equipped with aircraft, tanks and artillery, to encircle and suppress the revolutionary base in the Maestra Mountains.

The U.S. military stationed at Guantanamo Bay also provided aircraft to bomb the rebel base.

Now the fierce battle in Cuba is in full swing, involving the Dulles brothers who have great interests in Central America.

Distraught, Dulles was concerned with his own interests, so he did not seize the opportunity to teach the newly appointed Harold Wilson a lesson. With the most candid attitude in his life, he unconditionally approved Harold Wilson's elaboration of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"At the most critical moment, NATO will not allow a small group of brainwashed people to lead France into the abyss." Dulles said solemnly, thinking that good news should come from Cuba, otherwise the gold behind the The Lord really has a lot to lose.

Harold Wilson was lucky enough to pass the first test of the new foreign secretary because Dulles was distracted by the war in Cuba.

Harold Wilson, who had so easily made his first major visit, also brought back the American view of the situation in France.Including economic aid, political support, and in the end, there may be scenes of crying and beheading horses.

At the NATO headquarters in Paris, Eifel was joking and joking with his old friend Alan Wilson. During the period, he was also envious of his old friend's high position, "Sir Ismay is on top."

"Thank you, my old friend." Alan Wilson turned back to express his gratitude to Eifel, and entered the office of the NATO Secretary General.

On the streets of Paris, protesters holding flags with sickles and hammers chanted anti-war slogans and demanded that the current government end the war.The whole parade turned into a sea of ​​red, which looked quite spectacular.

Chapter 952 Should carry the white flag!

Along with the sickle and hammer flag, there is also a huge banner slogan, stop ethnic cleansing, end the war in Algeria.

Some organizers held trumpets and chanted slogans, pointing out that France's current actions are a shame to the birthplace of modern thought. Algeria's men were killed as a stable foundation. Such a victory is worse than nothing.

If Alan Wilson was here, he would definitely be pleased with his wife's ability to handle affairs. At critical moments, the woman who shared the same bed was still reliable, and she had unconditional trust in him, which could be called reliable.

But in the office of the secretary-general of the NATO Council, he was complaining in front of the former deputy foreign minister, lamenting that he had encountered such a difficult event just after taking office.

"Sir Ismay, I really want to tell the minister to use Tier [-] tactics to deal with it." Alan Wilson was full of distress, complaining to the powerful NATO Secretary General.

"It's a good thing you didn't do that. France is different from other countries after all." Sir Ismay shook his head slightly. During the handover at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the political situation in France happened to be unstable. He also sweated for Alan Wilson, but it was okay Now, this successor was unequivocal, and directly visited the surrounding countries to clarify the position of the United Kingdom.

Let's not mention how useful it is, but this hard work is very gratifying. After all, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not make a wrong payment.

The old jazz didn't know, and after all, he made the wrong payment. In such an urgent situation, Alan Wilson also had an in-depth exchange with Hepburn, obviously more concerned about Europe's safety.

"I talked with the commander, Admiral Loris, and communicated about the current situation in France." Sir Ismay did not hide anything, but revealed everything he knew, especially the movements and attitudes of the French garrison in North Africa. .

Among the more than 80 French troops stationed in Algeria, the task of the vast majority of troops is to protect the lives and property of French immigrants, keep the main roads and railways open, protect pedestrians from attacks by the Algerian Liberation Army, and at the same time ensure important facilities of strategic significance , such as oil, ports, power stations, and telegraph and telephone switching equipment, are protected from guerrilla destruction.

Less than ten percent of the army, that is, 8 to [-] people, actually participated in the battle, carrying out the task of hunting down, searching for and destroying the guerrillas.

"It seems that the French army in Algeria believes that the Paris government is holding back and wants to sell out the bloody French army. The economic pressure is only a temporary difficulty. As long as France saves food and clothing for one to two years, it will give full support to the French army. Successfully suppressed the rebels Not a problem at all."

Alan Wilson listened to what Sir Ismay had mastered, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "So that's the case, but then again, if the French citizens tighten their belts, it is really possible to succeed. Then we will be very embarrassed, I Don't know how to deal with a France that could usurp Britain's leadership in Europe."

As a special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson kept a distance from France at the critical moment, and then said, "The Italians are very dissatisfied with France's establishment of a closed colonial economy, and according to our observations, a lot of economic aid comes from Italy. Arrived in Algeria, since we know it, the French must know it too."

Latin-speaking countries can be described as dissatisfied with each other, especially Italy. Although Italy's record is not glorious from the colonial era to the last two world wars, this country does have a sense of national pride. , When I was an ally of Germany, I didn't accept Germany, and now I don't accept France.

"You are right in what you said. The current situation in France is indeed quite embarrassing from our British perspective." Sir Ismay was also very entangled, and the reason for the tangle was the same as Alan Wilson.

When it comes to the diplomatic work of the two former deputy ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the office, both of them know in their hearts that Britain has always advocated the independence of France to solve the colonial problem, especially the Algerian problem.

This is already quite obvious. It seems fair for France to independently resolve the colonial issue, but in fact it is to buy time for France to deal with the issue quickly.

Britain has done its best to France, but France has been fighting for so many years, and the war has not ended for a long time, so Britain can't always wave its flag?

Postwar British efforts to establish a Western European organization under British leadership to achieve its "third force" goals.At the end of the war, Britain realized that in order to survive in the gap between the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union in the future, it must unite Western Europe and France under the British flag.

Only when Britain becomes the spokesperson of Europe can the United States and the Soviet Union treat it equally.To this end, Eden of the Conservative Party put forward the idea of ​​establishing a Western bloc, and Bevin of the Labor Party put forward the idea of ​​a third force.

Originally, Britain would not have succeeded, but with Alan Wilson, it was finally partially successful, and it is still being implemented quite well.

If France had taken care of Algeria earlier, Britain and France could at least breathe a sigh of relief.

But now the war is protracted, and even France is unstable because of the war. France has changed from a reliable support to a time bomb. From the perspective of the United Kingdom, this bomb is still very dangerous, and the two countries are separated by a strait.

"The minister is actually communicating with Washington, and the United States seems to be inclined to try to solve it with economic aid." Sir Ismay said, "Maybe things won't be so bad."

"I hope so." Alan Wilson nodded. He didn't know that Air Force Admiral Loris Nostad, NATO commander-in-chief, had already assessed the security situation in France with NATO senior officials. Of course, everything was hidden from the French military. carried out under the circumstances.

Such a thing as a battle plan is not difficult to represent. Even if it is formulated, it may not necessarily be implemented.

When Alan Wilson was in Kuala Lumpur, he made several plans to attack Indonesia, and now Indonesia is still doing well.

It can only be said that NATO is preparing for the worst outcome, in case it is caught off guard by a sudden situation.

"Don't worry, Alan, the entire NATO will not watch something happen to France." Sir Ismay patted Alan Wilson on the shoulder and said.

"Of course that would be great." Alan Wilson forced a smile. It seemed that he was worried about France, but he was not at all. He didn't worry about the French at all. What is there to worry about the obvious European overlord?

A country like the United Kingdom, which is free from Europe, should be worried. If you are not careful, you will be squeezed out.

In the history in memory, France strengthened the cooperation between France and Germany, and used a framework to draw in European countries, while France acted as the coordinating and pie-sharing big brother, and finally led the establishment of the European Community and laid the groundwork for the European Union.

Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, France was the second most famous power in the world, replacing the status of the imaginary enemy in the eyes of the United States after the Soviet Union. Although the glory days lasted for about ten years, the status of the imaginary enemy was soon replaced by a big country.

But no one can deny that ordinary countries are not qualified to fight against France.

Alan Wilson, who left the NATO headquarters, couldn't bear to do things, so he asked Radwich to drive to the place where the parade took place. sex.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the flag of the Bourbon dynasty?" Alan Wilson looked at the flags waving in the crowd with wide eyes. This should be a team that advocates resolutely supporting the war.And the march to end the war is the antithesis.

Radwich was about to lament Alan Wilson's extensive coverage, even knowing the French flag hundreds of years ago, when he heard the words suspected of insulting the law, "Why don't you carry the white flag out, the Bourbon dynasty once used the white flag as a Flag."

"Mr. Wilson?" Radwig couldn't understand the special relationship between Britain and France, but this is too much?

"Do you think I'm lying? The Bourbon dynasty did use the white flag as its national flag." Alan Wilson stated the historical facts solemnly, "Seeing the loss of French tradition, as a citizen of a neighboring country, I am very sad .”

Radwich is uneducated, and he doesn't know if his boss is suspected of insulting the law. He can only try to protect the safety of his boss and listen to what the French say.

It's a pity that neither of them is very good at French, and they can only judge whether they are supported by people's expressions.

It looked pretty good. More than an hour later, Alan Wilson arrived at the headquarters building of Woodpecker Films. After shedding his exhaustion, he stood by the window on the top floor and watched the crowd gradually dissipate below.

"The most interesting thing in this world is that many so-called ignorant citizens really think they have the truth." Without looking back, Alan Wilson has already judged from the sound of footsteps that it was Ingrid Bergman who came in.

Ingrid Bergman greeted her with unsurprising eyes, and her height was absolutely outstanding among women, but she acted like a little woman and asked in a low voice, "Is this time for the chaos in Paris?"

"Otherwise? Although the political situation in France is unstable, it has been almost three months since March to the present." Alan Wilson sighed and said by the way, "But I I’m willing to come here, I still miss you, and it’s no fun staying in London all the time.”

"I should have gone to see you." Ingrid Bergman lowered her head and walked over with a height not inferior to that of a man. With the crowd that was dispersing not far away as the background, Ingrid Bergman offered a sweet kiss.

On the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, the natural extension of the French territory, Algeria, the capital of Algeria, is also the headquarters of the French Foreign Legion. Algiers, a group of generals in military uniforms expressed their opinions, and finally reached a consensus. Bloody sacrifice.The current stalemate must be resolved by replacing a leader who can fully support the war.

Chapter 953 This is Jacobin

"Commander Henry must be on our side." Immediately, these generals made it clear that the commander of the Algerian French army, General Henry Lorillo, should express their clear attitude towards the Paris government on their behalf.

More than a dozen generals got up and drove to the headquarters together, but at the gate of the headquarters, a car just stopped at the gate. A man in casual clothes looked at the team in surprise, but then he smiled.

This person is not the commander in Algeria, but his position is no worse than these generals. He is the former Vietnamese French commander Nawal who lives in Libya. After the defeat in Vietnam, he has left the military. In the Kingdom of Libya, the Mountbatten Group Served in the Libyan oil project jointly led by Total Group.

Although the Total Group is a French oil company, General Naval is the representative of the Mountbatten Group.

Obviously, one of the generals in this water knew Navarre and asked, "Navarre? Why are you here?"

"Jones, from what you said, I used to be the commander-in-chief of the Vietnam Army." General Nawal said with a smile on his face, "When I was defeated in Vietnam and left the military, I represented Britain and France in Libya. You also know that the two countries work in oil companies, didn’t the Mountbatten Group sell Algeria’s oil to France?”

"History is like a reincarnation. I didn't expect that after a few years, you would also face the difficulties I faced at the beginning."

The faces of some generals were not good. As the commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese French army, Navarre left the military circle as a scapegoat in a certain sense, and some people present were not less cynic at the time.

But after a few years, they also have nothing to do about some places that are used to find fault with Nawal.

"I didn't come here to chat with you. I have already set a meeting time with Commander Henry through an appointment." Naval raised his wrist and looked at his former colleagues, "The army is a place that pays attention to discipline, but you are committing crimes Whether it’s a big or small mistake, maybe our goals are the same, why don’t you let me meet with the commander, after all, I have left the military and can be regarded as an outsider.”

"This?" The generals looked at each other, and one of them, Major General Jones, who had just greeted him, asked, "Are you also here because of the current domestic situation?"

"It can be said to be." Nawal smiled and stopped talking, "My current job is still in North Africa. Of course, I hope we can stabilize the situation. I am also French."

Navarre used to be the commander-in-chief of a garrison in one place, and there is no difference in rank between Henry, the current commander of the French army in Algeria. If there is a gap, it is only reflected in the number of people in command.

In the commander's office, Nawal patted the sofa in the office full of emotion, "It has to be said that the support received by the Algerian French army is much stronger than ours at that time."

It is impossible for General Navarre, who came to Algiers, to say that he has no complaints. The defeat in Vietnam led to the end of his military career, although he was mentally prepared the moment he left Vietnam.

But in the end, the process of leaving has nothing to do with brilliance. Some excuses are not listened to. Now that the Algerian war has been fought for several years, the French army is several times larger than that in Vietnam. Didn’t it end the war?

"Naval, the area of ​​Algeria is many times that of Vietnam." General Henry heard the resentment from it, and began to explain the difference between the two places, which cannot be compared in this way.

"But the Vietnamese are nearly three times the number of Algerians. There are a lot of virgin forests in the area. What about Algeria? The vast desert, the guerrilla warfare environment is much worse than Vietnam."

Nawal sighed and said, "At that time, half of the army in my hand was Vietnamese, and half of the lower half was the colonial army in North Africa. Now you have 80 troops in your hand. There is British help in diplomacy. Before that, there were The Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet helped block foreign aid, and now there are many domestic conflicts, and this is what you have achieved."

"Of course it's easy to accuse, and I can't make specific comparisons. I also have my own difficulties." Henry said helplessly, "You just came here specially to complain about the injustice at the beginning, complaining that I didn't stand on your side, and complained to the government. Explain the problem?"

"Misunderstood, I'm French." Naval shook his head and denied, "Of course I also hope that the French are better. In fact, I don't tell you the attitude of some garrison generals. They hope to clarify the attitude of the military. Newspaper Paris Government."

"You are no longer a soldier. There must be a reason for coming here in person." General Henry lit a cigarette, took a puff and asked, "Say it straight, what are you going to do?"

"In essence, the attitude is the same as that of the generals, but the sequence of specific actions is different." Nawal smiled, "Once Algeria is lost, the Total Group will suffer heavy losses. What's more, some killings are very low. There is no need for brutal acts against women and children, wars are fought by men after all, just eliminate the rebels and eliminate men."

Of course, there are also peace believers who support France in Algeria. Together with French immigrants, there are 200 million people. In recent years, the French army in Algeria has migrated 200 million people and controlled them to cut off the soil where guerrilla warfare exists.

Naval said that France is not far away from victory, and the key is to let all French people know.

"So many bad things have been done. If you don't win the final victory, then the bad things will not be in vain. Once Algeria becomes independent, will you forget our actions?" Nawal looked at General Henry with a smile and said, "When I came, I will be with you. The other generals happened to meet, but I knew in my heart that everyone had the same idea.”

Algeria is about to undergo great changes. The headquarter building of Woodpecker Films in Paris, the hard-working executive deputy secretary of the British Foreign Office, found an excellent observation point, set up a telescope and hung a camera. Only now did he realize that he also had a relationship with Innate agent potential, especially at times like this.

Heidi Lamarr opened the door and entered, only saw the man with naked buttocks who did not forget to keep an eye on her, and a messy big bed, walked to the bathroom following the sound of water pouring, and saw Ingrid Bergman taking a shower , couldn't help but said sourly, "Quickly wash for nothing, and use the most fragrant body to please men."

"You startled me." Ingrid Bergman, who was cleaning her delicate body, gave her partner a white look. "It's as if you don't take a shower. If you keep saying things like this, can't you love to be clean?"

"Maybe that man likes the smell of you." Heidi Ramanu pursed her mouth, her eyes swept away from the burden on the other party, "Push me to manage the company's operations, and sleep with the man here, hum."

"Well, today's parade has started again." Alan Wilson, who took two photos, came with a camera hanging, avoiding the partners from falling apart.

Heidi Lamarr turned around, but then looked away, "Put your pants on, and look like that."

"It's not like you haven't seen it before." Alan Wilson muttered, like trousers walked over, of course it didn't work.

Don't you want to put on your pants?Facing the active Heidi Lamarr, Alan Wilson felt relieved when he thought about this wolf-like age. There are no good years, but there are people like him who carry the burden for the citizens. .

On the same day, in Algiers, the French National Salvation Committee announced the establishment of the French Fourth Republic, which was already in a duel between left and right.

"The term National Salvation Committee seems very familiar." Alan Wilson, who was hiding in the British embassy in France as he walked forward with a heavy load, thought hard. He seemed to have heard this term somewhere.

"During the Jacobin dictatorship, the National Salvation Committee was established." Eifel, who also came to the embassy, ​​replied. Obviously, this old colleague came to Paris from West Berlin, and his professionalism has increased a lot.

The National Salvation Committee does not have a chairman, but its power is very centralized, it adopts a collective responsibility system, and there is a proper division of labor within it.

"I see." The reason Alan Wilson was at the embassy, ​​besides taking a break, was to wait for his wife's telegram.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to send a telegram to the embassy, ​​but isn't that an ordinary person? Pamela Mountbatten is not an ordinary person. If it is not for the sanctity of NATO, it can be sent to NATO headquarters.

In the end, a short telegram with only yes was sent from London. Alan Wilson put away the telegram and prepared to use it when he went to the toilet. This shows that Navarre has understood the thoughts of the French army in Algiers .

"This is a coup d'état." After the war, Pierre Frimland, the No. 20 three-term French Minister of Ministers, who had just spent ten days in office, was angry with the news that the Algerian garrison announced the establishment of the National Salvation Committee. Cried, "This is the restoration of the Jacobins, the coming of despotism, and the cause of democracy is in crisis."

The French National Assembly, which was full of voices in the past, no matter what camp the party members are, are now silent.

Outside the National Assembly, in the streets and alleys of Paris, the red-white duel is still going on. Compared with the anti-war team organized by the French Communist Party, the composition of the pro-war parade is indeed much more complicated. It is very much like what Das Kapital said, the pope and the tsar , Metternich and Guizot, the French Radicals and the German police, all united.

The military police in Paris were helpless against such a huge demonstration a few days ago, and could only adopt a fourth-level tactic to deal with it, and finally reported to the government that nothing happened today in a tone similar to that of Louis XVI.
