Chapter 1166: What’s coming will always come

“Sir is the authority.” Alan Wilson did not object, this was Norman Brooke’s decision, although the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office was a senior Whitehall official, how could he dare to disagree with the Cabinet Secretary’s decision?

With Norman Brooke at the front, the appointment of the Diamond Ambassador was the nail in the coffin, and the rest of the steps were simple, nothing more than telling George Blake how significant the work was, France’s position in Europe and so on.

“George, would there be any hard feelings when you were captured without being evacuated in time? You know that the French Communist Party is still quite powerful in France.” Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask, hoping to see a little something.

However, George Blake did not show the slightest abnormality, and Allen Wilson could only stop speculating. Perhaps nothing had really happened.

This matter is finalized, George Blake immediately went to Paris to go to his post, play the role of the British and French friendship bridge. The main job, of course, was to report every move of the dubious allies truthfully.

The EEC is an eggshell to protect Britain and France, the old dominant pair, but even if it is an eggshell, there are rules about who gets to be the boss, just as the role of NATO is to resist the Soviet Union and suppress Germany. The role of the EEC was to give Britain a platform to suppress France.

Finally is the end of the work arrangements, Alan Wilson long breath, recently not only is he busy, his wife, Britain’s richest man, the world’s richest woman, but also constantly meeting, arguing, completing the reorganization of the military industrial part of the stretcher, re-establishing a new model of equity distribution.

Of course the military-industrial part of this, the role of the listing is not very big, the latter-day Lockheed Martin market capitalization is only a fraction of the star stock, I believe that no one will think that Wal-Mart than it is more important to the United States.

“Grace has been circling you for days, what’s this one for?” Pamela Mountbatten, who was also slightly free and finally able to concern herself with her husband, inquired what the militia leader was doing here.

“Of course it’s to ask for help, there’s a lot of pressure on Northern Rhodesia right now.” Alan Wilson told the truth.

“It can’t be, can it? I follow the local papers and they are all saying that Lumumba’s army is suffering heavy losses and that Katanga’s freedom fighters keep winning.” Pamela Mountbatten was surprised, how did this conflict with her information?

Alan Wilson choked back a sob and blushed oddly, “Victory is getting closer and closer to Lubumbashi, the battle reports lie, the battle lines don’t. Facing Yugoslavian and Soviet military advisors, and thanks to the size of the Congo and a climate unfriendly to Eastern Europeans, replacing the VC would have been harder on Grace.”

“Then again, were Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union really that close?” Pamela Mountbatten sighed.

“If I hadn’t been ready to point you in the right direction, I’d be afraid you’d lose your fortune.” Alan Wilson stifled a sigh that the monopoly bourgeoisie should care a little about politics, and said feebly, “The history of this country, Yugoslavia, is the history of Imperial Russia’s double-crossing for its allies.”

Imperial Russia, and even the Soviet Union, was indeed very domineering in the way the country handled itself. This is something that many countries have suffered from, and in order not to suffer you must be above it in terms of national strength.

But this country has another characteristic, that is, something really on, which Britain and France have benefited from.

World War I Imperial Russia did not complete the mobilization is to receive the struggling France for help, launched an attack on Germany in a hurry, only for the western front of the British and French allied forces to fight for a bite of respite, so that Germany drew the western front of the troops back to help.

In Serbia on the performance of the more obvious, to the Serbs, Imperial Russia that is the re-creation of grace is not too much.

Other countries talk about blood alliance, but also figure a fun, these two countries are the real blood alliance.

It was in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War that Imperial Russia defeated the Ottoman Empire and forced it to sign the Treaty of San Stefano, allowing Serbia, a fellow Slavic brother and Orthodox believer, to break free from five centuries of Turkish rule and achieve national independence.

Before World War I, he supported Serbia and other countries to form the “Balkan League” and defeated the Ottoman army, and in the following war, he defeated Bulgaria and annexed Kosovo and North Macedonia into his territory.

The outbreak of World War I was due to the fact that the Russians, for the sake of Serbia, fought against the Austro-Hungarian-German alliance and mobilized their whole country, and in four years of bloody war, they lost 9 million people and a big empire.

During World War II, the Yugoslavian government had just signed an alliance treaty with Germany, and in a turn of events, it was overthrown by the Yugoslavs, much to the surprise of Germany, which drew its troops to fight Yugoslavia first, or else the attack on the Soviet Union would have been much earlier.

“It’s best to pray that Tito lives longer, and that Yugoslavia as a country becomes completely pro-Soviet in its independence, as of the time of Tito’s death.” Alan Wilson spread his hands at his wife, “So you see what combination Grace is dealing with, that’s an alliance that wears the same pants and is much more amicable than either Britain or the United States.”

In terms of riding the wave, it was definitely the right move for NATO to take out Yugoslavia just after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Otherwise, regardless of this little Balkan powerhouse for now, it wouldn’t be good for Imperial Russia to get rid of the Khitans and replace them with the Great Emperor.

“No wonder he’s in such a hurry! What a way to run into a rival. How did you answer him.” Pamela Mountbatten inquired in a low voice.

“I told him to wait!” Alan Wilson did not feel embarrassed at all.

Pamela Mountbatten sensed that her husband seemed to be a little hyperactive lately, in a state of affliction, and although she didn’t know where this feeling originated from, as a wife she didn’t vocalize it, and took the initiative to take a look around England.

“Good.” Alan Wilson readily agreed, he was not going to turn down a pillow talker, oblivious to the fact that his wife was doing this for her own sake, and the two of them immediately took a trip to join his father-in-law’s family.

Broadlands Manor is in Hampshire, and it is one of several estates built during the lifetime of Lady Edwina of Mountbatten’s maternal grandfather, Sir Kessel. Several of the houses on the estate were built in a very grand and magnificent manner, but were somewhat eerie.

Accustomed to military service, Mountbatten seemed a bit of nothing, do not know what to do: he no longer read for pleasure; in addition to their own watercolors, whose works are rarely appreciated; in addition to a few dance music, rarely listen to music; the traditional pursuits and hobbies of the English gentlemen, he is no longer interested. He quit gardening and planting; he grew weary of horse-racing, and

Fishing also lost its patience. He still had a keen interest in polo, but his physical strength did not allow him to do so.

This is not as good as his son-in-law, Allen Wilson’s philosophy of life is to be quiet, Marshal Mountbatten is a multitude of hobbies but can not raise interest, Allen Wilson in the leave of absence of the biggest hobby is lying down.

In order to meet the father’s hobby, Pamela Mountbatten can be said to be doing their best, because the old father is now a little short of money.

Of course, Mountbatten is not worried about food and clothing, life is still broad. His “lack of money” was in a different sense than the average person’s. For example, he was not sure whether to spend $10,000 or not. For example, he hesitated to spend 10,000 pounds to buy a painting of the last century; on whether to spend 30,000 pounds to resurface the manor South Road, a momentary uncertainty.

This financial embarrassment was no problem at all in the eyes of his youngest daughter, and as for the district flunky, he didn’t give a damn about it; taking the check for half a million pounds that Pamela Mountbatten brought him, Mountbatten absentmindedly excused herself, “You’ve already got a family, and Allen will be unhappy.”

“He’ll be upset? He won’t even bother to look at the check.” Pamela Mountbatten grumbled a little as she shoved the check into her father’s hands, “I don’t know, to this day, what he really cares about, and even I get the feeling that even if a nuclear war broke out, he wouldn’t frown much.”

“Ah ……” not far away, in the recliner concentrating on reclining corpse Alan Wilson, issued a long yawn, adjusted the lying posture, continue their own unchanged to respond to the great political strategy.

On this day, the U.S. Army’s ov-1 “Mohawk” reconnaissance aircraft began to take off from the U.S. Air Force base in Florida, as usual, to the airspace over Cuba for reconnaissance.

The ov-1 Mohawk was built in response to a U.S. Army request for proposals for a specialized battlefield observation platform.

Priding itself on its short-field takeoff and landing capabilities, crew armor, and system redundancy that allows it to continue to fly after taking minor fire, the Mohawk has proven to be an ideal observation platform.

Conducting low-altitude operations was, of course, risky, and might result in eviction. However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have concluded that there should be no chance of being shot down, and the ov-1 Mohawk’s relatively long range, due to the geographic location of the United States and Cuba, will not be short-changed.

Cuba has a rainy season from May through October, and the tropical climate is quite variable, so it can rain heavily and clear up again in a day, making weather forecasting a very demanding job, and often a facepalm situation.

High in the sky, cruising at normal cruising speed, the reconnaissance plane was slowly approaching the Soviet military compound, which, according to the decision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, would continue to wring some thorough probing of the Soviet military installations in Cuba to see if the Soviets were, as they said they were, just helping with the defense of Cuba or not.

“What’s that?” While cruising, the pilot caught a glimpse of one of the heavy trucks that was entering the building through the panoramic photography of the synthetic aperture radar. But it was just a flash he didn’t get a good look at it, but the photo had been captured by the high resolution camera combination system, so he’d go back and find out.

Through the panoramic photography of synthetic aperture radar, take a clear image of the ground scene within a range of 200 kilometers wide and 4,300 kilometers long, and develop 4,000 photographs for intelligence analysis, is required to fly a trip, the whole of Cuba at a glance.

By the time the Soviets’ radar detected the unknown signals, the American reconnaissance planes were long gone.
