"Is this? An executive order or a referendum?" Alan Wilson paused slightly and asked deeply.

"It's an executive order, all the major newspapers in France are saying it." Wick explained as he followed his immediate boss.

"The key is what the AFP said." Alan Wilson said as he walked, "That is to say, the policy has not been officially introduced yet. What did the minister say? What about France's left-wing parties? There is no opposition?"

In fact, Alan Wilson also knows that opposition cannot change the overall situation. He has made it clear that resisting the draft is used for treason. If the French Communist Party dares to cause trouble at this time, it will probably be dealt with reasonably and legally.

However, this is also a good opportunity to mediate, of course this is with Macmillan, not him.

This kind of major matter is no longer something that he, the Standing Secretary, can step forward to solve. Macmillan or even Prime Minister Eden must step in to solve it.

Alan Wilson can solve some less important matters, but he cannot really replace the Foreign Secretary in major international affairs. Obviously, France's incident this time is a major international affair. Who dares to say that a country will carry out general mobilization?

Is it a big deal?

Based on Alan Wilson's understanding of this government and even the previous government, whether it is useful or not, he will try to prevent France from launching the French General Mobilization Law. After all, France has launched a national mobilization and is also solving a colonial problem, which will make the free world

The universal value of China is not so shining.

However, Alan Wilson hoped in his heart that Britain's dissuasion would not succeed. For Britain, a stubborn France could help it share a lot of pressure, and France was willing to do so. If Britain had any reason to dissuade, it was destined to not succeed.

France under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle was definitely not a country that would listen to the British when it opened its mouth to mediate. What they pursued was independence, and they especially could not live under the British.

"The Prime Minister still hopes that France can calm down and not take any far-reaching actions." Macmillan has been in a low mood recently, but he still works hard to implement the diplomatic strategy. It is indeed implemented. The current British diplomatic strategy is personally formulated by the Prime Minister.

of.

"We try our best." Although he felt that there was a high probability that there would be no result, Alan Wilson still expressed his willingness to accept it, especially in front of Macmillan.

Alan Wilson has a characteristic that he always likes to sit back and watch, but being full of energy and initiative is the main aspect of his personality. Just now, when he was thinking about the impact of what France did, he did not carefully consider what might happen

How will he cope if any accident happens.

And this is not boldness, nor is it calmness, nor is it overconfidence in one's ability to make a decisive decision when the incident occurs.

From the worst point of view, this is a kind of laziness, unwilling to let the only benefit of being a bystander slip away when something happens.

Since Macmillan had shown his willingness to visit France, he was naturally willing to accompany him, and it was not to go to India.

Deep down, he was naturally a little surprised. France's move would really have a far-reaching impact, especially at this point in time.

Of course, he quickly thought of another thing. If France openly wanted to go to war, could Britain use France's willingness to stand in the front to do something for its own interests?

Without further ado, as a preview of the British diplomatic mediation in the Cuban Missile Crisis, Alan Wilson followed Macmillan to Paris, just in time to take care of business and private affairs. It has been a long time since we last saw each other, and I missed him very much.

At this time, Paris was very calm and restless, or there was restlessness hidden under the calm. This is not contradictory, and is very consistent with the historical tradition of France, either the royalist party or the revolutionary party.

Macmillan arrived in Paris and immediately began to expand some contacts and at the same time seriously prepared to talk to de Gaulle.

Alan Wilson, who was convinced that this diplomacy would fail prematurely, naturally encouraged the minister and then went about his own business.

This wine exudes a pleasant aroma and tastes good. It is not inferior to the best wines. Among the fruits are mangoes, which are very ripe. After traveling for so long, it is really a pleasure to eat this fruit.

.Alan Wilson ate and drank with relish.

Although the mangoes were worthy of careful tasting, he was more interested in the mountain above the valley. It was a dazzling mountain that aroused great excitement.

Staring at the mountain peak, he couldn't help but feel fascinated. His mind was already climbing the mountain, and he chose the path to climb up along the mountain peaks and narrow roads in meditation.

The increasingly arrogant expression finally made Ingrid Bergman unable to turn a blind eye anymore. She tightened her clothes and hid her majestic chest, "You always don't look serious."

"Ingrid, you misunderstood." Alan Wilson acted like a gentleman, but what about the trust between people? He is obviously a gentleman, but Ingrid Bergman treats him as a villain to guard against? This is

An insult to his character.

"Oh, yes." Ingrid Bergman responded absently, as perfunctory as she wanted.

"In this case, I won't come next time." Alan Wilson's face turned cloudy. He didn't feel respected here, and he didn't enjoy the treatment of the head of the family at all. It's really unreasonable.

When he travels for his country, women should provide superior logistical support, so that they can be worthy of his efforts. Even if Ingrid Bergman and Hedy Lamarr are not British, they should still be considerate of him.

Macmillan was fulfilling his duties as Foreign Secretary and trying to dissuade de Gaulle from taking potentially far-reaching actions.

At Woodpecker Pictures Headquarters, Alan Wilson is also discussing the current international situation with Grace. Historically, the independence army in Katanga Province persisted for two or three years before finally being defeated.

But now it is obvious that it cannot hold on for such a long time, and the military advisors of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have been decentralized to the battalion level.

Although both countries have no combat experience in tropical rainforests, and sending the Vietnamese over may be more effective, the local warlords in Tshombe are not comparable to the resistance. They still insist that it is nothing more than the free world still providing military assistance, and the area of ​​​​Congo

It was really big, and the Soviets were not adapted to jungle warfare and other factors.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! More than ten years later, during the Angola War, living in tropical Cuba, the South African army was extremely annoyed. This treatment had not yet come to the Congo War.

The Soviet military advisers have a long history. During the long-term practical work, the Soviet military advisers have formed basic rules of conduct. That is, they actively cooperate with foreign commanders and help the assisted countries establish basic rules based on full consideration of various local conditions.

military system. Therefore, Soviet military advisors are also highly respected by local people.

"Based on my understanding of the French, especially the current Charles de Gaulle government," Alan Wilson said slowly, "this diplomacy should be in vain, but that is not the case for you. On the contrary.

It may be a good opportunity. Although I am not 100% certain, the opportunity to solve the problem of the protrusion has come."

"We have been waiting for this opportunity." Grace nodded solemnly, indicating that he had been paying attention to the progress of the Congolese Civil War for more than half a year. Naturally, he was also uneasy about the Katanga Independence Army gradually falling into a disadvantage. "Jazz felt,

Is France going to war to cover our operation?"

"This is natural!" Alan Wilson nodded solemnly, "Of course, this premise is that you are capable of doing things well. If you have problems, no one can do it for you. Your destiny is in your own hands.

Well. I don’t want to say more if you can control your greed. I hope everything goes well.”

The UK is not France, and cannot fight openly to split an independent country in the current international environment. France has disintegrated French Africa and is all-out on Algeria. The UK still has many colonies that are not yet independent.

If he ends up in person, it may plunge British Africa into turmoil, which is not a good deal for the budget-conscious Britain.

Therefore, Grace could only rely on Northern Rhodesia's own strength. Britain could provide some military support, but it would never openly send troops.

Gros thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. With France taking action in northern Africa, the incident in Northern Rhodesia would indeed be less noticeable. "That's true. It seems like a good opportunity."

"Of course, I would lie to you? I always try my best to treat friends who recognize me." Alan Wilson looked solemn, and then changed the subject, "You can't even kill a past president."

Alan Wilson still hasn't forgotten Syngman Rhee, but he let it go in front of his sister-in-law. If he can't do it, he may leave an impression of unreliability, which will not help the close relationship with the royal family.

"Even if he hides inside and can't come out, I will send people to blow up his house." Grace was forced to have no choice but to say that she would get the matter done as soon as possible.

"That's no problem. If the situation in Katanga has not deteriorated to a certain extent. If there is enough time, we still have to wait for France to officially issue a general mobilization order. It can have a certain cover. Of course in this interest."

"We share Katanga's mineral interests with the Mountbatten Group." Grace understood instantly and immediately made a guarantee.

This was no problem. Alan Wilson was very happy and suggested finding a place to have a drink and asking Grace if she was interested in relaxing. Paris is a romantic city and there is no shortage of exciting encounters.

When he saw Macmillan again, the Foreign Secretary frowned, and it was clear that this wave of communication was not smooth.

The communication with Alan Wilson has been quite smooth. Now we are waiting for the French to take action, and Northern Rhodesia will naturally follow suit.
