When the North African military transport plane landed at the Paris airport, it marked the end of nationwide protests over trivial matters, because gas stations everywhere reopened. If a country is going to be paralyzed, it must first see whether the gas stations are paralyzed.

It's like you are talking about rising inflation in the United States, but generally American gas stations do not appear in the news. When American gas stations really make the news, it means that the problem is already serious.

You must know that the United States is an oil exporting country, and it is also a country where every household has a car. There are many homeless people who live in cars without houses. Considering the importance of American cars to a family, once the oil price rises, this will be different from the oil price in other countries.

Rising prices are not the same thing; cars are home to Americans.

The oil price in the United States has been one of the lowest in the world for a long time. Even the most confident people in the industry will not use the oil price in the United States to make an argument.

The most glorious record of American oil prices is that during the oil crisis, the American automobile industry was almost defeated by Japanese cars. This is by no means a trivial matter.

The North African troops who came across the sea appeared in Paris, and the paralyzed radio station was also controlled by the police. The government, which had lost its voice channel, regained the initiative.

"The French Communist Party defined the protesters as a fake revolution of the petty bourgeoisie." Wick came to the Cabinet Office and said, taking the speeches of the top leaders of the French Communist Party, "and criticized the carnival of anarchists, including Trotsky.

ists, this is the defining content of the French Communist Party.”

"It seems that the agreement has been reached." Alan Wilson took over the speech with a smile, and then whistled, "This choice marks that the pro-Soviet parties in Western Europe are no longer a thing. Of course, the more

The more we have to pretend that they are still powerful, Wick, otherwise many colleagues may be judged as unimportant because they face a lack of value."

The French Communist Party classifies students as typical petty bourgeois radicals and believes that students' adventurism is similar to Bakunin's anarchism and Trotsky's ultra-left line. It is a short-lived, desperate display of violence and submission, hatred and

An unrealistic utopian fantasy. It does not possess the discipline, perseverance and determination necessary for the proletariat.

Look at what this said, no matter which country it is, the theories are just one after another, and all kinds of allusions are picked up at random, without any sense of unfamiliarity. Especially the French Communist Party is worthy of being an old revolutionary base.

How terrible it is to have no enemies. Just look at the various anti-Russian people in the United States in later generations. In fact, NATO is no longer the NATO of the Cold War. Did Macron really think that when he said that NATO was brain-dead, he just said it casually? There is no end to NATO.

If you don't end up, you can still keep your tiger skin and laugh at the Russian army. What if you end up discovering that NATO is no better than the Russian army?

Anyway, the US military fought against the Russian army in Syria, and it seems that it did not take advantage. It cannot be concluded that the US military is definitely better than the Russian army, let alone its partners within the NATO framework.

"Secretary-General, I understand." After receiving some teachings on self-respect, Wick nodded in a very learned manner, "Is the chaos in France over now?"

"That's basically it. People in modern society are actually no braver than people in ancient times, but the killing efficiency of modern governments is much better than that of ancient governments." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "When the North African garrison appeared in Paris to protest

The choice faced by the soldier is already very small, how can he make more trouble than a tank?"

Anyway, the UK has gotten what it deserves. It cannot really watch France continue to be in chaos. After all, protesters have swept across France. If watching the excitement is not too big a deal, what should we do if uncontrollable evolution occurs? We should still be firm.

Only by standing behind de Gaulle, the authoritarian government that was always criticized in the past two years.

After returning home from get off work, Alan Wilson was eager to know what his wife had gained from her hard work. France had closed the channel for converting francs into gold, and it was no longer useful to continue the operation.

Holding Pamela Mountbatten's calf diligently, Alan Wilson looked like a scoundrel who deceived the women of the Lang family and asked, "My dear, how was the harvest this time?"

"I got back the losses from the British short-selling pound last year. I don't know what other banks' gains were. There are also speculators outside the UK, and we don't know what they have gained." Pamela Mountbatten enjoyed her husband's

He replied thoughtfully and enthusiastically, "The financial market boom that the French experienced after the run on gold is over. It was really short-lived when you think about it."

"The French will remember that they became the world's financial center in less than two years. This is a status that the French have not had for centuries." Alan Wilson laughed heartily, "It is like this protest movement.

It goes away quickly. It’s okay to miss it, but it’s destined not to change anything.”

"By the way, I heard that the Soviet Union raided Poland. What happened?" Pamela Mountbatten was also the daughter of a former British commander. She was very well-informed and had heard the news about Poland.

"You can understand him as the Soviet bloc is what is happening in France." Alan Wilson explained to his wife, "In fact, if De Gaulle hadn't secured the support of the French army, NATO might have eventually had to take measures with the Soviets.

Same method."

"It seems that Moscow is really tough." Pamela Mountbatten muttered, "It controls the Warsaw Pact countries much more tightly than we do."

"The Warsaw Pact countries are weak compared to NATO countries. What kind of countries are they? Can they compare with Western Europe?" Alan Wilson pouted. NATO countries include the United States and Canada, and their area is actually about the same as the entire Warsaw Pact.

, as for the population, it exceeds the Warsaw Pact countries by 60%. The economy is more than twice that of the other countries.

Even if the United States is thrown out, the remaining NATO countries combined will still be comparable opponents in terms of population and economy compared to the Warsaw Pact, which still includes the Soviet Union, but their land area will be much smaller.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Without these Eastern European countries, the Soviet Union would have been much easier to deal with." Pamela Mountbatten was a little annoyed, feeling that this enemy was really powerful.

"Even without the Eastern European countries, the Soviet Union will not be easy to deal with unless Ukraine also breaks away from the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson shook his head, saying that his wife's judgment was still optimistic.

The bottom line of the Soviet Union's national security was Poland, but whether it could become famous internationally was determined by Ukraine.

This is the reason why Ukraine wants to join NATO and Russia directly explodes. The importance of Ukraine directly determines whether Russia is a natural empire, which is also Moscow's real bottom line.

What made the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact bloc make up for their lack of comprehensive strength was political factors. The first was the planned economic system, which gave priority to the development of heavy industry. In fact, it was an economic development strategy that prioritized the development of military industry. This made the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact bloc lagging behind in terms of comprehensive strength.

, but in terms of developing military industry and defense military funding, it can compete with the United States and the NATO group.

Secondly, the Warsaw Pact is a cross-border compact complex with the Soviet Union as the core. It is not only an international military alliance group, but also an inward-looking political, economic, military, diplomatic, and integrated entity.

NATO countries are qualified to cause trouble, but the Warsaw Pact, which is inferior to NATO in terms of strength, is not qualified to have a maverick country like France. This is because the strength of the two groups is not actually equal.

There is still a possibility that the Soviet Union can catch up with the United States. It is purely a dream for the Warsaw Pact to catch up with NATO. If he were a Soviet, Poland would not be able to escape the control of the Soviet Union.

In any case, this operation in Moscow was a complete victory, especially for a certain young KGB. Alexeyev came as a member of the entourage and returned to Moscow with the Polish senior officials who voluntarily went to Moscow.

The leaders of the Jordanian countries have received the telegram from Moscow and will come to Moscow to criticize Poland's actions in a collective name.

Alexeyev soon went to Lubyanka to report on the KGB's role in this operation, and was praised by Andropov, "But as soon as this incident comes out, your work in Poland will be over."

Well, Comrade Fortseva may have been so worried that she couldn't sleep recently."

"Uh, Comrade Chairman, it's not that serious, right?" Alexeyev grimaced and changed places again. He hadn't been in Warsaw for long, where was he going?

This is not what Andropov can tell. The KGB chairman asked Alexeyev to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Gromyko has already arranged the next job. Wasn't it already decided?

"This matter is not over yet, but it may be difficult for the citizens of Warsaw to accept that an embassy diplomat who played an important role in this operation continues to wander around in front of them. And emotionally, you continue to stay here

Poland is not suitable either. As I said before, I have already worked in Indonesia and Eastern European countries in the third world. Now we should go to a real opponent and have a clear understanding of our enemy."

Gromyko took out an appointment and said, "After the discussion on Poland's selfish actions, you will go to the London Embassy to serve. The work of the London Embassy is extremely important, not even easier than the work in Washington.

You have to be mentally prepared."

"Yes, Comrade Minister." Alexeyev held the appointment letter and said with an expression determined to complete the task.

"Go and stay with Comrade Fortseva, she must be very worried recently." Gromyko encouraged gently, like a gentle elder, without any airs.

However, Gromyko's lackluster behavior is not the same for everyone. Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows that the Foreign Minister is a very strict boss. Alexeyev actually knows this, too.

After bidding farewell politely, I left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
