British civil servant

After half a month, the Group of Ten signed the Smithsonian Agreement, which is a full year earlier than in history, and among the proposals supported by France in the United Kingdom, it also passed condemnation of trade protectionism, disregard of support for property rights, manipulation of currency and The content of slave labor.

Maybe these contents are not useful for the time being, but as long as the United States feels that Japan needs to make sacrifices one day, this is an excuse that can be used at any time.

Mr. Xin breathed a sigh of relief for the countries that signed the agreement. Although it was only a few months, from Nixon's announcement that they would no longer exchange gold to the end of the year, there was a lot of confusion in the import and export of countries.

It can be predicted that this year's economic growth will definitely not look very good, but since there is a reason for the incident, the responsibility can be shifted to the United States. Whitehall gave professional advice, and Harold Wilson directly adopted it. During the questioning of the House of Commons, it was vague It is pointed out that the economic growth is not as good as expected, which is entirely the fault of the United States, and the government is already trying to find a way.

What the prime minister said is so good, that is the problem of the United States. If the United States is not unable to support the default, the economic growth of the United Kingdom will definitely be very good this year. What if the economic growth next year is not good?

It depends on what will happen in the world next year, which will allow the UK to shirk its responsibility.

Alan Wilson went to accompany the Secretary of Defense to watch the Typhoon fighter jets again, and Dennis Healy got into the cockpit. After all, the arc-shaped canopy will cause image distortion, which is similar to the effect of a convex lens. The fighter planes in China all rely on cannons to fight. If the field of vision is deformed, it will be very troublesome to fight. Therefore, the mirror directly in front of the cabin must be flat, and to merge with the curved canopy behind, both sides have to be fixed. There is a transition so that a three-piece windshield is formed.

The Spey engine is even less of a problem. Since it is a new fighter jet, some things that are not as expected can be forgiven. I believe no one will think that the first-generation f70 in the 15s is the same as the f15 in 15, even if they are all Call f[-].

In fact, there are many weapons that have not changed much in appearance, that is, the appearance has not changed, and the inside has already been turned upside down. All weapons have been continuously modified to reach the standard of maximizing the design.

Judging from Dennis Healey's reaction, Alan Wilson feels that the new members of the Royal Air Force will soon usher in surprising orders.

While here and the Minister of Defense has made contributions to British defense, the situation in distant South Asia has changed again. The Bangladeshi people cannot accept that the military overturned the election results. They are the largest ethnic group in Pakistan. Accepting the exploited status forever, no matter what the big picture, same religious excuse.

It has been more than 20 years since independence. Even religious fanaticism sometimes ebbs and flows. To this day, Bangladeshis are worthy of Pakistan.

The slogan of East Pakistan's autonomy appeared for the first time in the center of Dhaka. Bangladeshis believed that their demands were reasonable and did not want independence. They just hoped that West Pakistan would face up to their demands.

The Pakistani military did face up to this appeal. Yahya Khan immediately ordered the Bihar military and police in Dhaka to suppress the Bangladeshis who knew nothing about their strength. At the same time, they used the air force to transport troops to East Pakistan. The conflict broke out, and Extremely bloody.

As for Rahman, the leader of the Pakistan People's League, the largest party in East Pakistan, he was naturally broken into by government forces and thrown directly into prison.Immediately, Yahya Khan declared his party illegal and prohibited activities from now on.

As a reporter, and a reporter who loves money and has an adventurous spirit, Marlowe also abides by the spirit of the contract. He knows what his employer wants to see and works hard for it.

After the military took action, he knew that this was the big news needed in the country, so he took action. The refugee camp is located [-] kilometers west of Dhaka. There are three large temporary camps along the road, each with an area of ​​nearly one-half There are [-] to [-] tents covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, and hundreds of refugees are queuing up for registration.

Several Bangladeshis wash their feet around a makeshift tap.At the door of a grass-green tent, four children were eating pancakes made of white flour.The women were tightly wrapped in black gauze, and reporters were not allowed to approach their tents.

Marlowe respectfully walked up to a police car, took out a pound and asked an officer what he could photograph.The other party said in slow English: "Refugees in the camp. But the police are not allowed to be photographed!"

If he was told what to do if the refugees refused to be photographed and if they attacked him, the officer said deadpan, "I think you know what to do."

He immediately seized the time to take photos carefully, trying not to capture the police or anger the nervous refugees.Try to smile at everyone and quickly determine whether the subject will allow the shutter to be pressed.

Chapter 390, India and the Soviet Union

Marlowe came to East Pakistan, of course, for money, that’s for sure, but it’s true that he has no sympathy. Avoid empathy.This sympathy was expressed in the messages sent back to China.

At this time, deafening slogans sounded on the streets of Dhaka, and tens of thousands of Bangladeshis flocked to the streets to start demonstrations.They chanted slogans of peace, support for Rahman and autonomy, with a large portrait of Rahman at the front of the procession.

There are 20 people gathered here to form a huge parade!Parades of this size are regular.The parade was mighty, and the people in the refugee camp could faintly feel the slow progress of the parade in the distance.

"Great!" Alan Wilson took the call back and expressed satisfaction with this kind of sympathy. A foreign reporter is full of sympathy, so the British citizens who read the report will also have sympathy.

Vivien Leigh was still stuffing a change of clothes into the suitcase, especially a few extra pairs of underwear, and then said, "Go out and pay attention to your body, I will arrange the film production."

"Okay!" Alan Wilson replied with a smile. He has not performed his diplomatic duties for a long time. Go out for yourself.

At the same time, it is also a trip to the Far East. On the one hand, it is to really find out the preparations of the British army. On the other hand, it is too obvious whether to go to the Middle East or not.

He mainly went to see the combat readiness of the Arab countries. Of course, he mainly wanted to know the situation of the fortified towns along the Israeli-controlled area. Don’t just look at the world and fight a war in the Middle East. Maybe it will be back in two years. This kind of thing Who knows.

The financial summit in the United States did not actually solve any problems. The United States has issued hundreds of billions of dollars in the international market over the years.If Alan Wilson faced this situation, he would definitely choose to provoke a war, and provoke a war where it would not affect the United States.

Certainly not in Europe. The United States just wants to use the war to profit, not to die. In addition to Ukraine, there are also Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and other countries in the hands of the United States. However, there were almost no countries in Europe during the Cold War that the United States could sacrifice without consideration.

The front line is so close, if the Federal Republic of Germany is really used to die, what if the European countries vote?As for the direction of Asia, the Vietnam War is not over yet, and the earlier Korean War has proved that the United States does not have the overwhelming strength on land.

In later generations, the Middle East has always been the first choice for the United States to regulate Europe. Once a war breaks out, energy prices will rise, and refugees will flee to Europe to create social problems.

At present, the refugee problem is unlikely to arise, because NATO is not a whole, and Greece, Turkey and Western Europe are not connected by land.Warsaw Pact countries that want to create refugees will not cooperate with the United States, and no one can get through if the border is locked.

However, if the war in the Middle East starts, it will drive energy to rise, and it may digest this round of excessive currency issued by the United States.

These are all things that must be prevented. It is not that the United States has no grasp in the Middle East. Otherwise, what is it doing to protect Israel?Isn't it just serving the United States at a critical moment?

In recent years, although the United Kingdom has been pulling Egypt and Jordan to establish a line of defense, it does not mean that the Arab countries and Israel are calm, and the exchange of fire on the confrontation line occurs from time to time.

It may be that Israel did not build up its self-confidence during the battle for the founding of the nation, so the two sides have been holding back and did not lead to a major war.

But after the emergence of Fatah, this situation is changing. Although there are not many reports in the UK, the shelling of each other has become more frequent.Israel did not make any major moves. It is estimated that the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom are the backers of different Arab countries, while the United States is accumulating experience in jungle warfare in Southeast Asia.

This kind of low-intensity exchange of fire also speeds up the fortification of the confrontation line. This may be the case when the blessing lies on the misfortune, and the blessing lies on the misfortune. From the current analysis, Israel’s response to this World War I Trench fortress behavior, doesn't seem to care.

The Arab countries supported by the United Kingdom are divided into two parts, one is Israel's neighbors such as Egypt and Jordan, and the other is small countries in the Persian Gulf. The latter are big local tyrants with a piece of cloth on their heads in the future.

Naturally, both types of countries are important for this visit. Xia Meng is in charge of logistics support this time, and also brought their children with them, which can be regarded as a field education.

"I will find a way to promote a group of military and police officers in Xiangjiang, and he will be a social pillar of the right age. It will be much easier to do things then." After completing today's trip in Cairo, Alan Wilson made a big hit Sit down and talk about the future plan for the child.

"Like those detectives?" Xia Meng asked in a low voice, how a man of the same status as her husband is going to help her children, in his opinion, Detective Zonghua is enough.

"What can that do? If you can't be the Chief of Security, you have to be the Commissioner of Police." Alan Wilson chuckled, "The commander-in-chief of the British army is also the governor of Hong Kong, but I can think of a way for the commander below. Xiangjiang will return it sooner or later. At that time, I will arrange for Xiangjiang’s local English or mixed blood, or my son’s Chinese contacts to go back together. It’s easy to play out your own value when you’re at it.”

Although he is in Cairo, and there are still more than 20 years before the British handover, Alan Wilson has worked hard to improve the value of his son's united front.

He thinks that this kind of thing can be discussed. When the time comes to return with Xiangjiang, why can't the appointed military and political personnel be promoted to a higher level?The promotion of a colonel to a major general can be expected, nothing more than a change of nationality.

"You are really kind to your son." Xia Meng became even more tender and affectionate when he heard it. Although he was not officially married, the other party was still very considerate of her.

"You're not the first to say that." Alan Wilson accepted Xia Meng's compliments, "Of course the British immigrants born in Xiangjiang are also legal citizens of Xiangjiang, and all ethnic groups are equal."

If you want to play a greater role, then it is not enough to arrange a few Zonghua inspectors. To make such an arrangement, isn't it looking down on the supreme authority of my country.

After communicating with the Egyptian military, Alan Wilson went to Dubai. Now Dubai has a bit of traffic for later generations. This has nothing to do with the million-dollar laborers in South Korea. From this point of view, the Koreans should thank him. Don't Koreans suffer without him?

Now you only need to be a mercenary with your life, and you can make money by bleeding in the Vietnam War.

Reiterating the Labor government's principle of pro-independence and placating the emirs, Alan Wilson inspected a circle of British-backed economic construction and British-built oil facilities.

He is still thinking about the oil crisis in his mind. If there is no accident, it should break out again. He thought the oil crisis was very strange. Historically, it was a means for the United States to support Saudi Arabia to seize power from Egypt, replacing Egypt and Arabia. The position of world leader, but the oil crisis caused by the overthrow of the Pahlavi Dynasty should not be designed by the United States.

Alan Wilson certainly doesn't believe in the integrity of the United States, but he believes in President Carter during the Iranian Revolution. Carter's tenure in office has proved that he is a naive and good man. When a good man is put on the throne of the president, he may really demand that the United States abide by his own moral standards without discrimination.

Alan Wilson's destination is Kuala Lumpur, and Xia Meng's mother and son are going back to Xiangjiang. After seeing the combat readiness of the British troops stationed in Malaysia, he returned to London alone, and appeared in front of Prime Minister Harold Wilson overworked. .

Reposted some heard stories to the prime minister, the airport and train station were full of refugees.A group of refugees living in a refugee camp escaped from the conflict again.

The British reporter there couldn't help picking up the Lycra and pressing two sheets.Just as I was about to change the angle, a policeman in a dark gray uniform walked up to say hello. The British reporter was about to answer, but he caught my camera by my neck unexpectedly.

All kinds of explanations have no effect.Facing his naked eyes that resemble those of an attempted rapist and the refugees who were doing nothing to follow him, his face turned pale with anger and his hands trembled. He stopped explaining and just wanted to end it as soon as possible.

"Independent armed forces have emerged in Bangladesh with the aim of rescuing the imprisoned Rahman. This is what we know so far. Of course, the development of many things was reported by the Indian side." Alan Wilson said that he did not go out in vain Once there, I learned a lot.

"The local soldiers in the local Pakistani garrison have already seen a large number of defectors and joined the ranks of resistance. What we can see is that India has expressed extraordinary concern about this situation. In order to deal with this situation, Pakistan has Two divisions have been airlifted from the west into the east to stabilize the situation."

Of course, it is understandable that India is concerned about the situation in East Pakistan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the situation of being flanked by Pakistan and East Pakistan is imminent.

At the same time that Allen Wilson was reporting to the Prime Minister, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sent his foreign minister to visit Moscow. In the eyes of India at this time, only the Soviet Union can protect India during operations. The United States is the backing of Pakistan. Britain's attitude is ambiguous and untrustworthy, not to mention that Britain is a colonist.

Moscow's support will be India's courage to deal with the next international situation.

The situation of Indira in the first thousand and 390 chapters

At Moscow International Airport, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko received guests from New Delhi. He knew exactly what the Indians were doing, and Pakistan had essentially fallen into a civil war.

As Pakistan's long-standing enemy, the Indians naturally found an opportunity to intervene in it, and they naturally wanted to get something when they came to Moscow.

"Minister Singh, welcome to Moscow." Gromyko greeted with a smile, expressing enough courtesy to India. In fact, the Soviet Union also attached great importance to this visit.

"Minister Gromyko!" Singh responded with the same enthusiasm. For a long time, India has adopted a policy of neutrality and favor of the Soviet Union between the United States and the Soviet Union.

That's because the United States firmly supports Pakistan. In fact, as the foreign minister, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with India's policy, but it is just a reciprocal response to the United States' bias towards Pakistan.

But facing the opportunity of civil strife in Pakistan, India must seize this opportunity. If it misses it, it may never wait.Therefore, on the one hand, India tried its best to spread the fact that the Pakistani army suppressed the Bangladeshis, and attacked Pakistan from public opinion.

The opening of the Bangladesh independence movement made the Pakistani military at the time furious and ordered government troops to dispatch the rebellion.

The government forces in West Pakistan originally discriminated against Bangladeshis, and many tragedies occurred during the suppression process. As long as a rebel appeared in a village, the entire village would be razed to the ground.

Singh expressed Pakistan's long-standing threat to India's defense security before opening his mouth, "Bangladeshis have the right to seek freedom, and we have the latest news that Bangladeshi people have changed from calling for autonomy to fighting for it in the face of repression by the Pakistani government. independent."

"For India, the rush of its old rivals is definitely an opportunity." Gromyko was noncommittal. It is not the time for the Soviet Union to express its position easily, and it depends on what India can provide.

In fact, there are not many choices facing India. Britain is the former suzerain country, and India certainly does not want Britain to return to South Asia.

The United States is the backer of Pakistan, and India's big neighbor has been an enemy since [-]. Who can India turn to?In fact, there is no other choice but the Soviet Union. It can't be the French, it's not an African problem.

The Soviet Union also had requirements. Although India adopted a neutral and pro-Soviet policy internationally, in Moscow's view, this was not enough.Instead of standing on the side of India unconditionally.

Judging from the current situation in India and Pakistan, of course India has the upper hand. However, at the international level, although India has tried its best to announce the atrocities suppressed by Pakistan, such things are useless. The United States will not change its policy just because of some so-called evidence , You see, the Agent Orange incident is so big that many countries know about the dangers of American chemicals, and the United States acts as if nothing happened.

In fact, India is preparing to take a decisive step by accepting Bangladeshi armed forces for training in India and providing help against Pakistani government forces.

Strictly speaking, the terrain of East Pakistan is not suitable for guerrilla warfare. There is the Ganges Delta, and the whole place is an alluvial plain cut by water networks.

But there is a very favorable condition for guerrilla warfare, that is, the population density is the highest in the world, and East Pakistan is the region in South Asia that most meets the definition of a nation-state. The suppression by the Pakistani government will undoubtedly knock down a Bangladeshi with his eyes closed. For East Pakistan, which has such a high population density, the act of repression is a perpetual motion machine for creating refugee flows.

The more densely populated a country is, the more afraid it is that there will be refugees. Once the overpopulation of a place overwhelms the local limit, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. This is the real domino.

There is no doubt that the current East Pakistan perfectly meets the definition, with a small area and dense population. The result of the emergence of refugees is to eat up one place after another, and eventually form a refugee tsunami.

At this time, the refugee tsunami in East Pakistan is brewing. Once it reaches the critical point, it will suddenly collapse and spread in all directions. The first to bear the brunt is India, which faces three borders.If there is a second victim, it is Myanmar bordering the Rakhine region.

In fact, Myanmar responded faster than India. After realizing that East Pakistan was in chaos, it almost immediately thought of the refugee issue and mobilized troops to guard the border.

This can be regarded as a good doctor after a long illness. The memory of being next to British India is not too long. Now that the Rohingya are finally driven away, Myanmar certainly does not want to be hit by refugees again.

The Pakistani army, which is in an absolute advantage, naturally does not care whether its actions will cause a chain reaction. For the army, chasing guerrillas is the safest operation in the war.

The wheeled armored vehicles chasing the guerrillas made great strides, threatening to hit Huanglong directly. Vehicle-mounted machine guns and machine guns kept harvesting the lives of the rout soldiers fleeing along the road.

At this moment, the crew members were already red-eyed, exposing all the tyranny and cruelty hidden in their hearts. They were excited to watch the enemies die miserably under their own attacks, and their faces were flushed with emotion. , with a distorted and hideous expression.

The rout soldiers found that they could not escape, and wanted to gather together to rely on the roadbed next to the road to resist, but they were defeated again by the fierce firepower of the armored vehicles. Most of them were killed, and the remaining survivors left in a panic. The highway fled in embarrassment towards the side of the hillside covered with Artemisia annua.

The guerrillas in the other direction felt that they had sneaked into this government army without being discovered, and they were discovered before they were even put into action. Yes, there were those who wanted to continue charging, and those who felt that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat. Several units crowded together in disorder, becoming an excellent target for artillery and machine gunners.

This battle was undoubtedly very beautiful, and the pursuing government troops won a complete victory. However, after the group of government soldiers withdrew, the hatred in the eyes of the survivors hiding nearby showed that the goal of suppression had not been achieved. Temporary victory is nothing more than fuel to the fire.

In New Delhi, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was wearing a sari, waiting patiently for the arrival of Army Chief of Staff Sam Manekshaw. A rare Zoroastrian belief.

Sam Manekshaw's military career was not all smooth sailing. For example, he had a very bad relationship with Lieutenant General Kaul in the '[-] War.

It has been reported that he made acerbic mockery of Kaul in public, while also making disrespectful remarks about Defense Minister Menon.After Kaur relayed the matter to Prime Minister Nehru, a commission of inquiry was formed to hear the allegations against Manekshaw.The accusation is that he criticized his superiors and civilian leadership indecently, that is, disloyal.

The disastrous defeat of the subsequent war made Menon's faction the target of public criticism, and he was also reused as the Chief of Staff of the Indian Army.

Facing the Prime Minister's summons, he knew what the purpose was. Sure enough, Indira Gandhi said urgently, "Sam, you know my purpose. Many voices think that the war should be carried out immediately and immediately."

"Prime Minister, I don't want to mention the scars of the country, but the hasty battles of [-] must not happen during my tenure." Sam Manekshaw said without changing his face, "Dear Prime Minister, war What is the purpose? Have the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Finance figured out this issue? What about you, Prime Minister, what kind of result do you want?"

"Of course it is to prevent Pakistan from becoming a threat to India in the future." Indira Gandhi said in a sinking voice. She did not scold the chief of staff for mentioning India's defeat in [-], even if she really did Very angry, "Now, from the central government to the states, countless people suggest to me every day that we should go to war against Pakistan immediately. You should know this kind of pressure. To release this pressure, you must win a big victory." The outcome of the war."

"As the chief of staff of the Indian Army, can you guarantee the results I want to see, if not, then the question of whether to start the war early or late is not important at all."

"No, this question is very important. Even if we start preparing now, we cannot block all interference. In fact, we should launch military operations during the season when the Himalayas are blocked by heavy snow, not now. We start military operations now. If we encounter If there is any obstacle, Pakistan may get support. Even if the Chinese cross over, there is no way to guarantee the logistics. Once there is a problem with the logistics, the army will become our plate. And if we mobilize the army to prepare for the attack now, we need at least two months time, and our northern neighbor gets exactly six months to intervene."

"So it will take at least autumn to start military operations?" Indira Gandhi was a little disappointed, but he also admitted that what the other party said was reasonable. "It seems that our diplomatic work needs to work harder."

"Dear Prime Minister, if the enemy is the Pakistani army, I have full confidence in the outcome of victory. As for us, we can also use these months to prepare well and lead a victorious army instead of a group of sloppy rabble. To act hastily will only humiliate oneself."

Doing so could be tough for the Bengal guerrillas for some time to come, but Sam Manekshaw believes it will all be worth it as long as they get the final victory.

Indira Gandhi faced the same problem her father faced in [-], that is, all parties were urging her to make an immediate decision, and the wave of nationalism had pushed her father into a dangerous situation.

The first thousand and 390 chapters and four real events

If it weren't for the unprecedented expansion of public opinion at the time, Nehru would not have made dangerous decisions. The problem was that her father was the number one figure in India at the time. The result is the blame.

The end result is that the Indian army has suffered a crushing defeat on the roof of the world, and the belligerent voice at the beginning has turned into an opposition force against Nehru, as if everything has nothing to do with them.

Now, after nearly a decade, the same atmosphere reappears in India. Indira Gandhi must not repeat the mistakes of Nehru. After Sam Manekshaw left, Indira Gandhi called two important The minister came to the prime minister's office.

The two important ministers of the current government have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the army has not shown the bravery of the Indians. In fact, recently, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Defense have been advocating the removal of Sam Manekshaw and replacing him with a more Brave generals to lead military operations against Pakistan.

"During the first two wars with Pakistan, we did not instill fear in this enemy of India."

Indira Gandhi said to two important cabinet ministers, "Once East Pakistan becomes independent, it will be a major event that will change the geopolitical structure, and it may cause dissatisfaction among neighboring countries. Fully prepared financially, diplomatically, militarily. Do you agree with that, both ministers?"

Since the Second India-Pakistan War, foreign relations have been the top priority for India. If Pakistan is a country that is easily defeated, Prime Minister Shastri will not agree to the joint mediation of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union and go to Stockholm and Pakistan People shake hands and make peace.

Indira Gandhi has now gained the same authority as Nehru did at the time, which was naturally obtained through struggles, especially the several confrontations between the former Deputy Prime Minister Desai, which eventually split the Congress Party's parliamentary group.Both sides claim to be orthodox. According to the ruling of the Supreme Court, the Ingandhi faction is called the ruling faction of the Congress Party, and the Desai camp and the Syndicate faction are called the Congress Party organization faction.

The former adheres to the true spirit of Nehru's reforms and moderate socialism, while the latter flaunts democracy and freedom, opposes personal autocracy, represents the interests of large industries and businesses, and seeks to be close to the Liberal Party and the Indian People's League.
