Chapter 1069 European Space Agency
There is no doubt that this was the landmark event of the space race, and once again it was the Soviet Union that stole the show.
The success of the first manned spaceflight is significant, but on the surface of this great advancement for all mankind, there is no country jumping to blame, just a few newspapers accusing their own countries of why they were not the first.
“All the specifics will have to wait until the TASS announcement, all we know right now is that Khrushchev is ready to welcome this hero in Moscow.” In the face of Macmillan’s question, Allen Wilson explained in a tone that seemed to downplay the situation, but also appropriately expressed concern, “I think there should be more urgency on Washington’s part than ours.”
“How can they have such technological prowess?” MacMillan stared at the constipated face, still looking incredulous.
“I don’t know!” Alan Wilson also looked puzzled, he really couldn’t estimate the current Soviet Union, whether it was superior in spaceflight strength, the original time and space, the Soviet Union in the space race at the beginning of the strong, there is a certain element of risk-taking.
The Soviet Union’s scientific and technological strength is to be a little worse than the free world, but the Soviet Union in the military field in the integration of this piece to do particularly well, first-class materials integrated out of the super-class equipment.
But touching the United States this kind of super-class funds and materials, stacked out super-class equipment Kryptonite players, or can not completely get it.
With the U.S. treating the moon landing as a national project, it eventually came later to complete the moon landing.
But the history in his mind is still not quite the same as now, Allen Wilson can not judge how much attention is now being paid to the Von Braun team, in the Soviet Union’s space field, and whether there is a chemical reaction with Kolyorov, and naturally, it is impossible to judge the Soviet Union’s spaceflight strength to which point.
As for borrowing intelligence, don’t be kidding, the United Kingdom itself is not infiltrated into a sieve is good, but also want to infiltrate the Soviet Union? Being able to borrow the British Embassy in Moscow to get some public information is considered mission accomplished.
“How far has our space program come?” Macmillan knew that Alan Wilson was in charge of operations at the Australian launch site, and it was only right to ask his permanent undersecretary.
“One step toward launching a satellite. Manned spaceflight has been delayed by the Blue Light ICBM program.” Alan Wilson was honest and somewhat embarrassed, “The Royal Aerospace Society calculates that the long term cost is going to be over half a billion pounds, and the Treasury has been quite vocal about it, and it’s not easy to get grants. The small amount of money must be spent on ICBMs that are more secure for Britain.”
The UK’s manned spaceflight is just blowing smoke, in fact it only stops at the PPT stage, satellites are not launched, the main role is to occupy the best Earth orbit for later to come and use.
British space program is currently mainly research satellite navigation, and is a secret research, the external declaration is based on the blue light strategic missile project, of course, because of the alleged military secrets, the foreign secretary is not yet suitable to know this matter.
“Isn’t there any way at all?” Macmillan was a little deflated, the UK had clearly not been slow to start, and now it was embarrassed.
Not a slow start? Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow, if it wasn’t for my humble self personally keeping an eye on the space program, the UK was properly a P5 tail, not even as much progress as France’s space program.
“In fact, it is not out of the question, but the French may find us in trouble, you can try to lead the European countries to integrate the space power of the countries for the UK to use.”
Alan Wilson said this pondered for a moment, “Of course in name, it must be called the European Space Agency, but this is not exactly just plain sailing, France may not quite recognize Britain’s leading role in European spaceflight, especially the Fifth Republic, and before de Gaulle came to power compared to the present France has really been seeking to make its voice heard. ”
The difficult pair of Britain and France are still stronger in aerospace than France, at least at this current time. Generally speaking technology is king and the European Space Agency should come under British leadership, but the odds are that the French will not agree.
Alan Wilson was just giving Macmillan a suggestion, not necessarily making it happen. If you don’t consider the moon landing, then put aside human spaceflight, and limit yourself to one program, satellite navigation, the UK can do it itself.
Couldn’t Allen Wilson be willing to surrender on behalf of the Sovereign, looking for the wrongdoer? Is a reputable power to cooperate, the reputable power’s out of money, the thinning of the patriarchate out of technology, after the success can be written on the name of the reputable power, so that each other have a bright future.
The European Space Agency is not a must for the UK, just an option that can be pursued. This
is a consequence of the Commonwealth and the Sterling Area still being solid, the UK can continue to balance offshore if it wants to, balancing offshore against the US and the USSR is out of the question, against the rest of Europe, the UK still has the ability to do so.
As for what decisions to make, it was up to Macmillan to make them, Alan Wilson had no right to interfere, who made him a transactional officer.
He can only do some things at the executive level, such as receiving a visit to the United Kingdom to discuss about cooperation in the field of oil Dragoon Sisters, the Federal Republic of Germany is still willing to show goodwill to the United Kingdom, at least the British Army in Germany still exists.
Heilmann Oil Company, willing to talk about the Iranian oil crisis and the United Kingdom, Allen Wilson can not turn away, which is not in line with his …… interests in the United Kingdom.
The two German strong women are still elegant, white and luminous, enough to make any man sink in it.
“If you were not coming, I would have visited the East.” Alan Wilson a face of indifference, never mention that he did not go to the East to visit, is not looking for a good logistical support candidates.
Like the Soviet system of the country, now see a representative of imperialism, like seeing a thief, day and night close monitoring, go to Moscow no problem, that’s because the culture czar would have had no one dared to look at more than one position.
If you go to a country in a hostile camp other than the Soviet Union, even Yugoslavia, Allen Wilson is afraid of being caught by that country’s intelligence services. He was unconcerned, but there was also the reputation of the lady who provided logistical support to consider.
“My favorite thing about you, darling, is that you lie with such a straight face.” Anna cupped the man’s face and offered a kiss of her own accord, smiling like a little fox, “It’s because you’re afraid that there’s no one to solve your physical problems, right?”
“How to talk to your man.” Reaching out in in Anna’s buttocks slapped a little, waves of light, Anna’s gaze at the eyes all of a sudden become soft like water, any man can not resist.
“I’ll go back and beat your son.” Anna threatened through clenched silver teeth, unyielding to the lechery of the British occupying force.
“You beat your own son.” Bokina reprimanded outright with a stern face, every day she knew how to get tired of men, and didn’t say anything about humility.
Since the signing of the agreement on the introduction of laborers, the Federal Republic of Germany now had 80,000 Iranian laborers coming in. These laborers began to replace the Germans in some basic jobs.
This also allowed Germany and Iran to establish a certain degree of rapprochement. Pahlavi, a man who was not very attached to the religion of peace and was bent on restoring the glory of the ancient Persian empire, was clearly more inclined to the latter in terms of religious and national attributes.
Aryan brothers need laborers, put Pahlavi so proclaimed, directly caused a strong reaction in Iran.
“Boone still manages these laborers very strictly.” In place of Anna, Bogina, puttying on Alan Wilson, describes the situation in Germany now, and the United States expresses its support for this behavior.
“The US wants to support Germany to checkmate Britain and France. But surely the Americans can’t imagine that I’ve already had my own people in Germany to guard against this for a long time.” Allen Wilson straight grunted, the devil is one foot tall, he buried nails all fifteen years.
“Yeah, well, how can anyone be smarter than you.” Bokina took it upon herself to come up with a mouthful of words, her blonde hair brushing against the man’s face, “Now what? Your layout sort of worked. The UK has preserved Iran’s interests and the US has no way to break the situation.”
“Not quite a success.” Alan Wilson couldn’t afford to take this kind of praise, Kennedy, a man of no martial virtues, was never a good person to deal with.
Alan Wilson remembers that Kennedy’s election time to put forward the concept of governance called the New Frontier, the old frontier is the United States westward movement that lasted a hundred years, the United States from the Atlantic coast thirteen states, into a two-ocean country.
In terms of foreign policy, the United States pursued a global strategy of world domination, transforming a strategy of massive retaliation into a strategy of flexible response; strengthening its control over Latin America; and proposing the “grand plan”, which attempted to incorporate Europe into an Atlantic community with the United States as the main body.
Under this new frontier strategy, Britain and France, especially Britain, will certainly be squeezed by the new frontier strategy.
If the United States has to make a breakthrough in Iran, this matter is still quite difficult to deal with.
Alan Wilson is grateful to the Dragoon Sisters for coming to London in the cold winter months, and the three lonely hearts are reporting for warmth at this moment.
And the Conservative Cabinet is discussing, about the establishment of the European Space Agency program, the European Space Agency for the United Kingdom is not a must option, but this matter points how to look at it, if the United Kingdom does not put forward, if France took the initiative to put forward the United Kingdom will be passive.
The establishment of the European Space Agency will definitely help Britain’s strategy of suppressing France and leading Europe. As for the establishment, the UK will then pursue a two-legged policy and continue to operate the Australian launch site.
Whether the UK then focuses more on Europe or its own Commonwealth is all a matter of thought. This idea is very much like the two wings flying together after the war, with Britain as the centerpiece, allowing the Commonwealth and the EEC to complement each other’s strengths and strengthen Britain.
Now it seems that Alan Wilson’s greatest success is this theory of two wings flying together, and he is now practicing the theory of two wings flying together with Bogina and Anna, all for the sake of the UK, even if it’s hard or difficult, he has to hold on.
“Regarding the idea of a European Space Agency, well, I will find time to communicate with Paris. It’s better to communicate through the EC framework.” Alan Wilson put down the microphone and let out a long breath.
