Chapter 1334 The First South American Conflict (Second update, please subscribe)
There is no distinction between good and evil in the Cold War. There is only success or failure in the Cold War. The winner is the master of history, and the loser will become evil. foil.
For Li Yi'an, who witnessed the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, because he knew the outcome, he knew the cold law behind it - the loser gets nothing.
Although Nanyang was not the protagonist of the Cold War, Nanyang needed to develop itself from the gap between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
So, as far as Nanyang is concerned, a strong Soviet Union is in the interest of Nanyang.
Just like now, after making the decision to sign an agreement with the United Kingdom, all Li Yian can think of is...the Soviet Union!
The Soviet Union is the best shield. As long as the Soviet Union is here, all the dissatisfaction of the United States will be tolerated.
But just being patient is not enough. The United States must also understand that Nanyang is not a "little partner" that can be manipulated by it.
Why was France able to jump left and right during the Cold War and gain many benefits from it? The most fundamental reason is that France's break with NATO through de Gaulle and even its direct conflict with the United States demonstrated its united front value, letting the United States understand that France is not a role that can be easily manipulated.
When the United States made its request to France, the French agreed, which was considered an unexpected gain by the Americans. The French's rejection is only natural.
Because of this, throughout the Cold War, France and Europe played the role of partners of the United States, never its servants. This kind of independence is rare among all NATO allies.
And this kind of independence is exactly what Nanyang needs. Of course, this is also Li Yi'an's positioning of Nanyang - it can be an ally of the United States, but this ally is only a cooperative partner.
The value of the united front needs to be earned by oneself. Similarly, when one's own position is challenged, one must give a resolute counterattack, even if it is an ally, otherwise the other party will take advantage of it.
“We must give the United States a heavy blow in the right place and in the right way. Only in this way can the Americans realize that our interests do not allow them to do so at any time or in any way. Intrusive!"
In the negotiation the next day, Macmillan agreed with Li Yi'an's suggestion.
The UK has also been suffering from the US for a long time!
"Your Excellency, I also think so. We must use a very resolute attitude to say "no" to the Americans, because the Americans are violating Britain's core interests again and again."
More than just core interests.
Li Yian sneered in his heart, in another world it would be you, Macmillan, completely kneeling in front of the United States.
But that's another world. You don't have a choice. Now you have a choice. Li Yian said.
"So I think that in order to safeguard the common interests of the entire Commonwealth, we should work together and take all measures to fight back against the United States."
As a result, they quickly reached a consensus-to give the United States a little Look at the color!
However, where and how this color responds depends on the timing!
On the day Macmillan left Chang'an with satisfaction, a guest from the United States also flew to Chang'an.
Everything was expected. Li Yian naturally welcomed the arrival of US Secretary of State Dean warmly, but the welcome soon turned into an unpleasant one.
"...For the common interests of the free world, Washington hopes to add Nanyang to the "multilateral nuclear force plan." According to this plan, Nanyang can not only share U.S. nuclear technology, but the two countries can jointly develop new missiles... ..."
Before Dean finished speaking, Li Yian asked:
"A new missile? Like the "Lightning Missile"?"
The "Lightning Missile" was used again. The mention made Dean look a little embarrassed. Before he could explain, Li Yian continued:
"Dean, what is the purpose of the United States' "multilateral nuclear program", we will not know for the time being. Consider, but one thing is certain, Nanyang will never hand over its weapons autonomy to any country. This involves basic principles! I do not hope to have any conflict with the United States because of this, but if Washington insists on its own way, then we will I have to use a drastic method to show my attitude!”
The words are not loud, but the amount of information is very large, and the attitude is extremely firm, without even any intention of discussion.
"That is to say, Nanyang decided to refuse."
"We will not discuss this issue at any level, Dean, we are friends, so it is okay now Communicate as friends, if we continue to discuss this topic, we can only apologize!"
Looking at Dean, Li Yian said in a tone that could not be questioned:
"Nanyang There will be no dialogue on any issues of principle, and there will be no room for concessions!”
This is no longer an answer, but a warning.
Faced with such a blunt rejection, Dean was a little confused. He obviously did not realize that Nanyang would be so "tough" and would not even engage in any dialogue.
Actually, this is considered polite!
It was only when Britain and France were negotiating to include France in the "multilateral nuclear force plan" that they knew what toughness meant. After directly refusing during the talks, De Gaulle even walked away and issued an order that day. , withdrew French officers from NATO's Mediterranean Fleet and withdrew the Atlantic Fleet from NATO; at the same time, it recovered several French air force squadrons affiliated with NATO.
At the same time, it required accelerating the development of ballistic missiles, bombers, ballistic missile nuclear submarines and other weapons, which directly led to tension in the relationship between France and the United States.
Finally, facing pressure from the United States, France announced its withdrawal from NATO in 1966 and ordered the United States to withdraw its troops and military bases on French territory within one year. In June of the same year, de Gaulle was invited to visit the Soviet Union, and France and the Soviet Union issued a joint declaration announcing the establishment of a "special partnership" between the two sides.
France can play the Soviet Union card, and so can Nanyang.
It’s just that Li Yian, who just visited Moscow, doesn’t need to visit again now, he just needs to express his attitude!
Faced with such a tough answer, Dean was silent for a while and said:
"I will convey your opinions to Washington!"
It's an opinion, not an attitude.
Then, Dean emphasized:
"Your Excellency, you must understand that freedom is a whole, and everything we do is for the entire free world, just like you As said in the crisis, the free world is a big family. "
"The reason why the free world is worth defending is that - all countries are free, and in the free world, countries are equal. Yes, there is no master-slave relationship. Otherwise, why don’t we join the Soviet Union? As we all know, the countries in Eastern Europe are satellite countries of Soviet Russia!” Afterwards, the meeting ended, and Dean got the answer Washington wanted. And Nanyang also expressed its attitude. On the day Dean returned to Washington, Downing Street and the Daming Palace simultaneously announced a news - Britain will jointly develop ballistic missile nuclear submarines with Nanyang, and will introduce 80 of the most advanced "nuclear missiles" from Nanyang. It also introduced 120 "Tomahawk cruise missiles" to enhance its airborne nuclear power. Although the "Tomahawk" is not a space-based ballistic missile, it can also enable bombers to stay within the enemy's air defense range. Attack the enemy from a long distance. This helps them rearm their "3V" bombers, which can meet Britain's urgent need for long-range air-based missile systems.
Regarding this move by the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union rarely remained silent, because the Soviet Union, which had long infiltrated Downing Street into a sieve, knew that this was Britain's fight back against Washington to avoid becoming a "nuclear servant" of the United States.
What about Washington?
Faced with such a response, Washington issued a light response - this is Britain's choice, and the United States will respect Britain's choice.
Sometimes, the world is like this.
In order to defeat an enemy, one would not hesitate to cooperate with the devil. The essence of the Cold War is that no matter the cost. And there is no such thing as good or bad, right or evil.
Even though the United States is now the No. 1 blue star, they are not willing to push Britain into the arms of the Soviet Union.
So a world-famous "British-American conflict" was resolved in this way - nonsense!
This is just the beginning!
In fact, according to intelligence, after learning the news, Kennedy even scolded the British for their "treachery." For Kennedy, who was at the peak of his political life, he originally wanted to tame Britain and show favor to the United States. Man shows how awesome he is.
But who would have thought that Britain not only refused outright, but also turned its back and cooperated with Nanyang, and it was a cooperation with great fanfare.
In response, while showing "respect", it used US aid as a weapon and stopped aid to the United Kingdom. Of course, it also stopped aid to Nanyang.
For a time, diplomats from both sides immediately started a war of words. The so-called "resolution" was just an excuse to further worsen the problem.
This world has always been realistic. In the real world, the boundaries between enemies and friends are blurred. Not only will there be disagreements and conflicts between friends, but they may also deteriorate at any time.
While there was turmoil outside, inside the Security Bureau in Nanyang, Wu Dekun, who had been promoted to the Director of the Security Bureau's Operations Division, was reading a piece of intelligence.
This intelligence is not an "arrest list." A few days ago, according to the instructions of the bureau, the Operations Office formulated a plan-planning to arrest more than 50 US intelligence personnel.
In other words, they are American spies. They are lurking in Southeast Asia in various capacities, including diplomats, businessmen, professors, and official advisers, but without exception, they are all connected with the CIA.
According to the bureau - if necessary, these people are arrested for emergencies.
Even among allies, there are a lot of troubles. These things are inevitable. Nanyang has infiltration in Washington, and similarly, Washington has infiltration in Chang'an.
As for the Security Bureau, monitoring allies is even more difficult than monitoring countries such as Soviet Russia, because in the latter they know that they are spies, so they are cautious. But what about allies? Their contact with downlines is in public places, and they even meet in public, so it is actually more difficult to figure out their identities.
But no matter what, we cannot relax our surveillance on them. Sometimes, allies are more destructive than enemies. However, more often than not, the Security Bureau still has to pay attention to some "outsiders".
Under the general premise of the Cold War, you never know where the enemy is, or when and how the threat will appear.
Just like now, after making this arrest list, then all that is left is to arrest.
“The final arrest requires the approval of the Daming Palace.”
Wu Dekun said in calm language:
“We are only responsible for making the list and implementing the plan.”
While speaking, he glanced at the list in his hand. Many of them were "old friends". In fact, those people's activities in Nanyang were within a certain permitted range, and now, they can visit them at any time. It is possible to attack old friends.
“Notify the Intelligence Bureau, they also have personnel in Washington.”
Although the two sides will definitely reach a consensus through exchange, expulsion, etc., it is inevitable to remind the Intelligence Bureau. .
The most direct battlefield for the conflict between the two countries is the field of intelligence...
Wu Dekun couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the possible conflict that might occur next, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. , and asked about other matters.
"So, this is just an ordinary business group?"
Finally, Wu Dekun took another report and asked:
"Are you sure they have not had contact with those people? ?”
The people he mentioned were some of the intelligence personnel they had already mastered. Like that list, they were all under surveillance by the Security Bureau.
“Judging from the current situation, although this trade delegation from Hong Kong Island represents another aspect, it has not done anything extraordinary. They mainly visited and inspected some factories and enterprises, and those enterprises Most of them are related to synthetic fibers and synthetic ammonia. According to the information obtained from the receptionist, they seem to be interested in purchasing complete sets of equipment for the production of vinylon and synthetic ammonia from relevant companies in Nanyang.
This may be related to the problem of eating and clothing of Tangshan people. After all, especially the problem of food. In the past few years, they have faced extremely serious problems of eating. The introduction of synthetic ammonia production facilities will help increase food production. "
Listening to the report and analysis of his subordinates, Wu Dekun nodded and said:
"They do have practical needs in this area. If they are just here to discuss business, that would be great. , our company is still very happy to export those equipment. "
When mentioning "if", Wu Dekun slightly emphasized his tone. After all, what the Security Bureau needs is to be vigilant enough about everything.
"Director, I think Just pay more attention to them,”
"Well, then continue to pay attention!"
Wu Dekun nodded in agreement:
"When you open the door to do business, there will always be all kinds of customers. Okay, continue to pay attention. OK! ”
