Chapter 1031 – Capital Injection into Land Rover

“Six-party talks?” Aiden looked at the set after set of permanent undersecretaries and said with some amusement, “Which six parties?”

“Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and India, this is the idea that emerged after learning of the Minister’s successful visit to India.” Of course this was partly due to Hedy Lamarr, but there was no need for anyone else to know.

The Iranian Six-Party Talks a few decades later were pretty much the same as the six-party proposed by Alan Wilson, minus China of course, and replacing it with India, which, it must be recognized, did have more international prestige than any other country in the middle of this time.

Even if the United Kingdom wants to invite China, the United States will oppose, six-party talks, Britain, France, the United States and Germany is certainly more inclined to India, the Soviet Union, at most, who can.

The United States is hostile to India, has been the seventies after the thing, now although India tends to the Soviet Union’s attitude of the heart uncomfortable, but compared with the genuine Soviet Union allies, the view of India is actually also good.

Aiden pondered for a moment, “Britain, France, the US, the USSR and Germany plus India? Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.”

“If the world was just Britain and the United States, first of all, the United States would never be able to get bigger, and now, if there were no other countries, the United States would have already made a move against the United Kingdom. Although it is not in Britain’s favor to complicate things, but the United States insists on squeezing Britain out of Iran, there is nothing we can do.” Alan Wilson sighed, “There are times when we have to talk to our enemies, and once in a while let some good people know the error of their ways.”

“Of course this is just a filing, the filing can be divided into implementation or not, but as a diplomat, the necessary preparations should still be done, if the United States can stop in moderation, so that the Iranian oil crisis is a smooth landing, we can not have to complicate things so much, but if you have to prove on Dad to prove that you have grown up, then do not blame us. ”

Alan Wilson’s face was heavy, seemed to be written with a thousand helplessness, he is after all a pro-US faction of the permanent undersecretary of the foreign ministry, made it to this point, not that he has any preconceived notions about the United States, although it is true that there are preconceived notions, but rather that the United States went too far, not a bit of face to the United Kingdom.

This look also let the three people present, especially McMillan rise a resonance, by now Britain is no longer the world’s hegemony, but the United States still have to continue to humiliate the old father, is indeed a bit too much. They eat meat at least leave a mouth of soup for others, but so unsympathetic.

Even if the different places to get along, Britain to know the situation faced today, will certainly advance the United States to harvest eight times.

But the father knocked son that is not to show the father’s love, the son in turn so treat the old father how to do?

“The Soviet Central Presidency’s Ms. Foltseva is coming soon, do we need to inform the Soviet Union now?” Aydin asked Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke.

“That can be notified to the Soviet Union through official channels.” Norman Brooke said with a light smile, “Let’s wait and see how Washington reacts to a Soviet delegation’s visit to Britain.”

Allen Wilson, who had traveled to Africa to personally contribute to de-colonization, and the French were sort of in the same boat.

Of course France is not without good news, two months ago France successfully tested a nuclear bomb, the French government back in the year of the British nuclear weapons test, the development of nuclear weapons was envisioned. This idea was put on the agenda by the cabinet meeting of the Mendès I. Foul’s government. Under the administration of Faure, it was decided to develop the production of element 94, and a plant to separate the isotope was organized.

This was followed by a five-year program of nuclear energy experiments by the Schiller cabinet. The government of Félix Gayard at the end of the Fourth Republic decided to build the first atomic bomb. After Charles de Gaulle returned to power, the pace of nuclear weapons development accelerated in order to rival the United States and break its nuclear monopoly.

By 1960, all this work came to fruition when France successfully tested its first nuclear bomb in the Sahara Desert in February, breaking the nuclear monopoly of the World War II triumvirate and taking de Gaulle’s independence a giant step forward.

As the weather turned warmer, Pamela in Perth returned to London with her three children and brought back experimental data on composite and external explosive reactive armor, as well as bills for scrapped Centurion tanks that showed she had sacrificed so much for this country.

“Six scrapped and three hundred thousand pounds gone.” Pamela Mountbatten held up the bill like an affronted daughter-in-law, and it would have been.

“Who says there are no conscientious capitalists in this world? My wife I this country has given so much.” Alan Wilson cupped his wife’s face and kissed her, “The entire British Army should be grateful for this sacrifice.”

The factory price of the Centurion tank was one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars in US dollars, which translates to about fifty thousand pounds in British pounds. Don’t think that this price is cheap, the Centurion was a late World War II tank, and only the King Tiger of its contemporaries cost more than the Centurion tank.

Speaking of the King Tiger, the Heilmann Estate actually had one, kept as a collector’s item, and the same model Mercedes Benz of the Führer that Alan Wilson had gotten when he contributed to the British Occupation Zone was kept in a warehouse.

This time back, Pamela Mountbatten, apart from bringing back the test data of the composite armor, also had some business matters to talk about, such as looking for Land Rover to talk about capital injection, and examining the air-conditioning and refrigerator industries in the UK for segmentation transfer to Malaya.

The richest woman was still quite busy, and the huge loss of three hundred thousand pounds made her want to claw back her losses.

One thing that today’s surviving British colonies have in common is a hot climate, whether it be Africa, the Middle East or the Far East, all near the equator, plus Australia’s own climate is scorchingly hot, the term Australia’s low-pressure much famous.

Dependent on this reality, the United Kingdom or Malaya’s manufacturing industry, should turn to refrigeration equipment, technically is no problem, the United Kingdom a hallowed old imperialist countries, it is impossible to even refrigerators and air conditioners will not be manufactured, but to say how advanced, it may not be, the technology can only be said to be there, can not be said to be advanced.

European electrical more well-known brands are either in France or Germany, the United Kingdom is more famous local air conditioning brand, Allen Wilson is unheard of, refrigerator brands seem to have a few refrigerator world of McLaren, Lamborghini, Aston Martin.

Loud popular brand is not there, so the advice to his wife is that originally the United Kingdom in this area is not strong, get the technology directly transferred to Malaya to produce, with the standard setting and patents to the production base set on the line.

“As for the Land Rover, my dear, if Maurice Vilks’ conditions are too harsh, it can be modeled after when talking to Mr. de Havilland, to open a new production line under the Land Rover brand.” Alan Wilson wrapped his arms around his wife’s torso and followed his advice, “Leave the design to me, you trust me.”

The current Land Rover company’s most popular model is the Land Rover Defender, the shape of the four-square, is very much like decades after the Mercedes-Benz Big G, looks very tough, estimated fuel consumption is also impressive.

Alan Wilson thought to himself that while he could only copy shells, he was perfectly capable of descending on the average model.

It might not work with cutting edge weapons, it was no problem at all with family cars, there was even a surplus, and cars of this era didn’t care about streamlining.

Currently Land Rover only has one model, the Defender, can’t he start a new series, say the Discovery to put in the Southeast Asian market?

If the Middle East is not satisfied with the rich sheikhs, it does not matter, Range Rover he has also seen, not bad can come out of the finished product.

Do not even need a Range Rover, directly in the Middle East to mobilize the mobilization of contacts, the Land Rover Defender to buy over on the line.

“I don’t trust you enough? I’ve given you three children, that’s the greatest trust.” Pamela Mountbatten grimaced, if not for the children, now she would say anything to show her husband the inner beauty.

After a long goodbye to the wedding night, husband and wife split up, Alan Wilson went directly to the Ministry of Defense, took Pamela Mountbatten brought back a full set of composite armor and external reactive armor data, into the office of his father-in-law.

Pamela Mountbatten, on the other hand, went to the headquarters of Land Rover, and Land Rover founder Maurice Vilks to discuss the matter of capital injection.

The principle of composite armor and external armor is not complicated, simply put, it is the daily life of plywood, a layer of glue and a layer of boards. Even Mountbatten Group in Australia are able to get better protection than conventional homogeneous armor, the British local scientific research power once put into the research is even more not a problem.

The mystery of composite armor, both in other materials armor special anti-elasticity, but also in other materials armor and steel armor clever combination. Composite armor’s high resistance to elasticity, used as armor sandwich materials, such as alumina, zirconium oxide, etc., not only high hardness, high temperature resistance, good thermal shock resistance, many times higher than steel, can effectively resist the impact of armor-breaking bombs metal jet.

Under the high-speed impact, the solid material turns into a fluid state body, and the plasticity increases greatly, just like a high-pressure faucet rinsing rotten mud.

“I’ll have the Royal Armor Research Institute in Chobham confirm it, and if it does confirm the authenticity of the data. Then the issue of materials for composite armor is worth looking into.” Marshal Mountbatten took the information that was like a book in the sky to him, and although he didn’t quite understand it, his innate confidence made him agree in one breath.

“Chobham? The Royal Armored Institute?” When Alan Wilson heard that, wasn’t this the proper birthplace of ceramic armor?

On this side of the big success, Pamela Mountbatten was at Land Rover’s headquarters, also showing a flat billion close to the people’s side, after the wholly-owned acquisition was rejected, she turned to the proposal of injecting capital and then opening a new production line.

“Mr. Morrison, it’s actually quite normal for you to have doubts, as Mr. de Havilland did years ago. But look at the De Havilland Corporation today, who wouldn’t want to work with a strong ally?” Pamela Mountbatten said with a warm smile, “I can help get Land Rover out there, faster.”
