Chapter 1032 – A Visit from the Culture Tsar

Because of the value of the pound sterling, industrial exports from the UK mainland would sell at a surprisingly high price, and Britain’s solution was the Imperial Preference System, although it must also be recognized that since World War II, the scope of the Imperial Preference System has been gradually shrinking. Had Alan Wilson not been around, the process would have been faster.

Pamela Mountbatten did not know her husband’s role, but had heard him talk about the disadvantages of the pound’s currency value being at a high level.

Such a high value of the pound has a great deal of positive effects on the financial sector and is a demise for the manufacturing industry.

From this point of view, the British automotive industry is dominated by the mid-range and high-end, low-end cars are very rare is also a national situation here. If you don’t take the luxury route, you can’t even be pro-people.

Shift industry is also a have to do, at least Malaya’s Asian pound in the exchange rate is more normal.

Britain’s domestic demand is so much, although now the purchasing power of the British and the United States is not similar, but the population size has more than three times the difference, the local automobile industry sooner or later or have to go out.

If you can form a local to build luxury cars, Malaya to build the division of labor of the mass models, the local car is mainly exported to lie to make money in the Emirate, Malaya’s car to take care of the Third World, this problem is not to say that the solution, at least the short term will not be any problems, as for the future side by side to see.

Pamela Mountbatten is also with sincerity to come, opened a 15 million pounds of capital injection price, for Land Rover company this has been a sky-high price, from the Land Rover car appeared to the present until now, the whole Land Rover automobile production has just over two hundred thousand, the British automobile industry’s high-end status is just so disconcerting.

Land Rover car is already considered to be Britain’s quite hot car, from the Second World War to now more than ten years of production, that is, over 200,000 units of this milestone, the conscience of the capitalist to describe Pamela Mountbatten is not excessive.

Maurice Vilks was also extremely shocked, even if it is a wholly owned acquisition there is a surplus, not to mention the Mountbatten Group as long as the relative majority of shares, “to Land Rover this brand?”

“That’s natural, I have always adhered to the concept of helping British entrepreneurs to develop, and does not pursue annexation-style acquisition.” Pamela Mountbatten seemed to have the aura of the Virgin Mary hanging over her.

Anyone else would have had a better chance of being considered a fraud by Maurice Vilks, but the check for fifteen million pounds was right there, “Miss Pamela, you are the most generous person I have ever met.”

“Mr. Morrison, you’re not the first person to say that.” Pamela Mountbatten smiled slightly and began to van up, “Making money is only a part of our lives, the main thing is to bring the fruits of science and technology into thousands of homes. I have been working hard for this goal, and my husband is very supportive of my career.”

Supporting his wife’s career Alan Wilson, is accompanying Field Marshal Mountbatten to Chobham, the United Kingdom is such a large area of the mainland, Chobham is not far south of London in a small town, go to a trip is not difficult.

The name of the Royal Armored Research Institute is very loud, but Allen Wilson instantly felt that the meeting is not as good as the name.

The Chobham in his imagination and the unassuming appearance in front of him just couldn’t correspond.

Field Marshal Mountbatten transferred the information to the scientific researchers of the Royal Armor Research Institute, Allen Wilson did not forget to brush his presence, “The Australian side of the test originally wanted to ceramic sandwich test, but because of the lack of basic conditions, the test site is simple can only be put off, I have to say that this is a pity.”

Alan Wilson just reminded in a sideways way, did not say that ceramic materials are necessarily useful.

Otherwise this group of researchers would probably manage to ask him for data, this group of science students are capable of doing this kind of thing.

“I see.” The scientific researcher who had little attainment in words nodded and expressed his gratitude with a local-supporting-centralized head style, “Maybe this will open a new set of doors for the development of armor.”

Alan Wilson said he hoped so, just don’t end up with another outdated weapon system stacked with top notch technology, it was well known that the UK was particularly adept at creating such state of the art backward products.

Chobham armor was just the earliest composite armor on this side of the free world, the first to be applied to tanks was the Soviet Union on the opposite side of the Iron Curtain, and the Soviet Union invested in composite armor shipping because of the British Chieftain series of tanks.

Because of the development of the main gun, tanks also took a detour for a period of time, chemical energy armor-piercing rounds, hollow charge armor-breaking and armor-shattering rounds and a variety of new ammunition development at a rapid pace, often seven or eight hundred millimeters of homogeneous steel armor penetration ability to make any armor eclipsed.

So many western tanks basically gave up thick armor protection, almost gave up armor protection, and turned to extremely high mobility as a defense, there are a large number of brittle tanks are in the middle of each country’s research and development sequence.

The Chieftain was the only head iron waif in the Free World at the same time, and except for the one item of composite armor, the rest were third generation main station tank standards, with heavier tonnage and more firepower than the Soviet Union’s current tanks.

Soviet tanks in the tonnage disadvantage, let the Soviet Union in the composite armor to invest a lot of energy to finally make a breakthrough, so that you can avoid more water to add noodles noodles more water, and ultimately and the free world to compete with the free world who has more rat tanks, to maintain the idea that the Soviet tanks with less weight to achieve the same combat effectiveness.

The same is true for Britain, once the composite armor is successful, there will be a certain drop in tonnage, and the Chieftain tanks will have much more power to spare, and to a certain extent will be able to solve the heart disease of British tanks.

Chobham composite armor may not be out so soon, but isn’t there still data on external reactive armor?

In the latter days of the Syrian civil war, the two warring sides even had rocks hanging from their tanks, which were just as useful. Could confuse the USSR until Chobham composite armor comes out? I guess it’s hard enough, the USSR is an expert on tanks, so maybe it can confuse the US.

What about a bunch of brittle tanks? Of course is the external reactive armor ah, do not hang when to maintain mobility, hang on to complete the offensive battle, do not have to be like the British tanks so extreme, brittle tanks as spring.

But I believe that in the future, other countries will realize that the route of the Chieftain tank is correct, and the hollow big bra is not desirable.

If not time does not allow, Field Marshal Mountbatten is also ready to take his son-in-law to see the tsr.2 attack aircraft program.

Alan Wilson is indeed very interested, but he can only indicate that he will look at it later, “The Soviet cultural delegation is about to arrive in London, after this I have to go to Somalia to guide the independence of the matter, the work is still very busy, Pamela is also busy with business matters, if it is possible, Albert and Pamela, may need to be taken care of for a period of time by the Field Marshal. ”

The most important thing was the last sentence, if it wasn’t for the youngest son not being weaned, he would have ended up in the same place as his older siblings.

“No problem, you’re both busy.” Marshal Mountbatten agreed painfully, but also did not compare with the eldest daughter’s family, the eldest daughter has nothing to do, the eldest son-in-law in the House of Lords is not so busy, the youngest daughter’s family is different, that is really busy.

“Things are marvelous.” Alan Wilson returned to London on the road can not help but sigh, tsr.2 attack aircraft in the history of the main opponent is not someone else, it is the military number one figure Field Marshal Mountbatten.

tsr.2 attack aircraft when the project was set up, at a time when the United Kingdom is sharply contracted, the size of the British army has been repeatedly reduced.

Army, navy and air force my stagnant military spending are going to spit on each other towards each other. Field Marshal Mountbatten couldn’t even keep the Royal Navy he came from, let alone the air force program.

Of course the tsr.2 attack aircraft program’s demise and the U.S. factor, after the war Britain has been deep in debt, the United States borrowed the International Monetary Fund do not know how many military projects killed the United Kingdom.

In the final analysis, it was the lack of money that caused the problem, the smaller and smaller colonies and the increasing pressure of military spending, so that any British military program had to be carefully calculated.

On the eve of the Soviet delegation’s visit, Whitehall has been paying attention to U.S. movements, as far as possible, to collect intelligence to feel out what the U.S. really thinks, the basic principle is that the U.S. stance is equal to the U.S. anxious, the U.S. does not take a stance is equal to the U.S. anxious, and ultimately the U.S. is anxious anyway.

In fact, in private occasions, McCarthy uncharacteristically changed to the ultra-conservative face of the position, said that the United Kingdom and the United States can talk about, the real enemy is the Soviet Union, which is a statement that is shocking.

In fact, what is so surprising, Alan Wilson’s conspiracy theory masterpiece of the world’s unsolved mystery series, the U.S. market agency fees are into the McCarthy couple’s pockets, as far as the U.S. horror of the genuine regulation, the money is not a small amount of money.

Pamela Mountbatten’s side of the success, obtained a majority stake in Land Rover, Alan Wilson could not help but joked, “If in the United States, this good news can cause the stock market to skyrocket.”

If the twenty-first century is even more remarkable, new energy vehicles is the next pig on the sky wind mouth, any ptt car project dare to go public to circle money.

“Spent another 15 million pounds!” Pamela Mountbatten pitiful, “I don’t know when I can earn it back.”

“Trust me, soon.” Alan Wilson patted his chest and promised that in the future he would fill the Middle East with Land Rovers, tell Toyota to get lost, and that Britain’s sphere of influence would only run British-branded cars.

At the end of April, by the Soviet Central Presidium member Foltseva led by the Moscow Red Flag Troupe to take the Tu-114 airliner landed in London, a group of British diplomats to meet among the British diplomats, looking at this one and the Comet airliner positioning exactly the same airliner, can not help but be a little amazed, but how a bomber flavor?

Foltseva seems to have been carefully dressed, wearing very can show the female beauty of the overalls, step by step down and Tu95 the same type of airliner, Alan Wilson said, how the Soviet Union car forward when also open double flash? The shaking made him want to blink to fill in the frames.

Foltseva’s eyes are very good, the afterglow swept to be dazzled by the high beam Allen Wilson, the corner of the mouth can not help but turn up.
