If facing the current US President Eisenhower who should have been the first NATO commander-in-chief, Mountbatten's careful thoughts will be seen in an instant. Both of them are political soldiers. Even if Mountbatten wants to hide some goals, he will Eisenhower can easily see it.
As far as arming Germany and Italy alone is concerned, Britain is undoubtedly once again in a position that France is unwilling to accept.
Of course, this is not new. After the First World War, due to the policy of balance of power in the mainland, the United Kingdom made various difficulties and restrained France at the Versailles Conference. For example, when France wanted to establish the Rhine Republic and dismember Germany to dominate Europe, the United Kingdom strongly opposed it!
At that time, in order to curb France's post-war hegemony, the United Kingdom once disgusted France, and this time it seems that it is okay to make the French people unhappy again.
But there are also differences. At that time, the hegemony of the United Kingdom was unstable, but the hegemony was still in the hands of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom not only disgusted France, but also disgusted the United States.
And now that the United States is in the position of the United Kingdom at that time, the United Kingdom certainly cannot offend the French by itself. The matter of arming Germany and Italy is reasonable and reasonable for the United States to speak, and the United Kingdom has no reason to offend the French.
The ebb and flow of national strength has forced Britain to no longer regard itself as the arbiter, even if France's international status is now inferior to that after World War I, it is more likely to be misunderstood.
More from Mountbatten's point of view, it is to explain that the United Kingdom has recognized the status of the United States as a world hegemon. At present, the UK pays more attention to the pursuit of domestic happiness as much as possible, which simply means acknowledging that the era where the sun never sets is over.
"The UK has only 50 million people, France has a smaller population than the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands are also included, and they can't mobilize many troops to confront the Soviet Union. London understands the important role of the United States in European security. It's just that the Korean War was involved. American energy, which is why London has been firmly opposed to American involvement in the Korean War and hoped that the war would end sooner.”
In fact, according to Mountbatten's own style, he will solve problems more from the perspective of personal connections. But he has a son-in-law, and his favorite word is that data will not lie.
Of course data can deceive people, but when data deceives people, it is more likely to be shaped into objective reality. Therefore, once it is used with ulterior motives, the destructive power will be even greater.
Li Qiwei is no stranger to rearmament. Before he came to Europe in this time and space, he was taking care of the generals established by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. It can be said that he has done similar things once.
It is now obvious that the situation on the European side is more serious. After all, the Soviet heavy military group on the European side is not comparable to the second-line troops in the Far East.
Washington has long had the idea of rearming Germany and Italy. After all, how could the former losers be threatened by the current Soviet Union? Now that there is Britain, at least the default attitude is the best.
Ridgway, who has already received the goodwill from the UK, is satisfied with this trip to London and is very willing to run about it.
NATO Commander-in-Chief Ridgway's remarks almost made Mountbatten's evaluation reliable, but he did not say the reliable evaluation, but he also praised the United States' efforts to maintain world peace with a very grateful attitude.
The main central argument that persuaded Ridgway's Mountbatten was that the sun never set, and Britain accepted it.
But on another occasion, it was the opposite. When Alan Wilson faced Farouk I, he emphasized that the era of the empire on which the sun never sets has not passed, although it is not so obvious.
The purpose of Alan Wilson's communication with the king of Egypt is to conduct country-to-country communication without the interference of foreign forces. This is nothing new. Strong and weak countries like to communicate in this way. Such communication is often much easier.
So that the United States does not have to deal with the United Kingdom in the same way, the United Kingdom must firmly grasp the interests of the European Community.
After completing their own work, Alan Wilson asked his wife to invite the Mountbatten and his wife to come to the house for dinner. After the meal was full, the woman cleaned up the dishes, and the two husbands and Weng exchanged their work today.
"Actually rearming Germany and Italy is good for Britain. In the foreseeable future, the garrison in Germany will not leave at all, Germany is destined to be a country that cannot escape control. Even if rearmament, there will be no war again. Ability.” Alan Wilson turned the corner when he said this, “If the important task of confronting the Soviet Union only depends on Britain and France, the country’s military expenditure will definitely remain high, and even if it takes out huge military expenditures, it can only maintain the current state. weapons and equipment.”
"Normal updates will still be affected. The Royal Navy is already the least affected service. The characteristics of the navy are determined. Whether it is catching up or changing step by step, it is a long process."
"By rearming Germany and Italy sooner, we can direct military spending where it is more needed. Germany has more people than Britain and Italy has more people than France, so increase the armies of these two countries. The pressure on Europe will be greatly reduced, In this way, there is room for optimization of our military spending."
Alan Wilson is not lying. The population of Italy is 3 million more than that of France, and the population of the Federal Republic of Germany is also slightly larger than that of Italy. This has already been established in the Soviet-occupied area to a certain extent to block the trend of population flight.
"Like the naval treaty signed by Prime Minister Chamberlain and Hitler after World War I? Partially recognizing Germany's rearmament to fight the Soviet Union?" General Mountbatten asked, tilting his head, "Is that what you mean?"
"Yes or no, this example is debatable. The Allies in Germany will not let Hitler repeat themselves." Mountbatten had no scruples, and almost made his good son-in-law unable to accept.
The steps and goals are of course the same, but the environment has changed drastically. At the time, Chamberlain could not control Hitler, which does not mean that the current Anglo-American law cannot control half of Germany.
Mountbatten agrees, however, that the rearmament of Germany and Italy has more leeway in military spending.
As long as the possibility of changing the navy can be preserved, he does not care whether the two countries are rearmament.
Ridgway was really willing to replicate what he had done in Japan from Europe.
After returning to NATO headquarters in Paris, he quickly got in touch with Washington and was enthusiastic about rearming Germany and Italy.
In the face of Washington's doubts, Ridgway said that the difficulty lies in France, but as long as the UK does not speak out, it is still very easy for France to acquiesce to reality.
When Li Qiwei communicated with Washington in full confidence, he did not know that at this moment in London, where he had just left, there was a promising Whitehall official. In fact, he was more willing to acquiesce to the reality of France's future withdrawal from NATO.
In London in June, when the weather was relatively good, there was a faint sound of joy in a clean and tidy room, and the clothes were scattered all over the place.
"That day at Buckingham Palace, my heart was very uncomfortable. I was afraid that you and my ex-husband would have something to do with each other." Holding the smaller body of Great Britain Treasure without letting go, Alan Wilson had a look of jealousy on his face, and he did not forget to treat the sweaty man. Guobao kissed on the forehead.
"What ex-husband!" Vivien Leigh listened to this nondescript word, rolled her eyes at the man and sighed, "I thought you had a young Audrey, and you already forgot about Vivienne."
"How is this possible!" A hand rubbed back and forth on the smooth back, Alan Wilson expressed the loyalty of Great Britain Treasure, "I am willing to take care of you for a lifetime, to have you is any man's dream."
"It depends on how many dreams you have!" Vivien Leigh took the initiative to ask for a kiss, and the battle of words took a while before she said, "Anyway, we have children, you can't not love me in the future."
"No, absolutely not." Alan Wilson hugged Vivien Leigh tightly, as if he wanted to embed the national treasure in his body.
"When I finish participating in this Oscar, I will accompany you then." Vivien Leigh rubbed in the man's arms full of attachment and whispered, "The competition is fierce now, and I compete with those young actresses. I can't do it anymore. Now a young American actor named Marilyn Monroe is doing very well."
"She's not as good as you!" Alan Wilson's tone was firm enough, not to comfort Vivien Leigh, that's what he thought in his heart.
The actor of Marilyn Monroe, Alan Wilson did not say that he was packaged, but compared with the ladies who currently have the status of wives, he is still a little worse.
There is some sympathy, because Marilyn Monroe was a female textile worker before she became an actress, so her three views are actually very positive, and she has her own views on the so-called free world to contain the evil Soviet camp.
But that's all, he has no reason to help this lady, unless the help can benefit Britain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ridgway has left London, Alan Wilson finally officially started, and the king of Egypt Luke I negotiated the Suez Canal issue, of course he could, who made him the deputy secretary general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee.
"Dear King, if you want to create the impression that you are not afraid of power, it is best to stay in London for a while. This will help some unstable factors to emerge when you are not in Egypt. And from the overall point of view, this can Create a personal image of His Majesty the King alone in the tiger's den because of fighting for the rights and interests of the Suez Canal."
Alan Wilson talked eloquently in the face of Farouk I, "It's easy to inspire Egyptian citizens' support and sympathy for His Majesty, what does His Majesty think?"
"Oh, Commissioner Wilson, your analysis of me makes me want to give you the title of Pasha." Farouk I turned his fat body and said, "If the British are like you, I believe Relations between the UK and the entire Arab world will definitely be much better."
