Chapter 1193 – Aid Arrives After the Battle

“It’s a great honor to be at your service, Your Highness.” Alan Wilson grasped Princess Margaret’s hand and kissed it lightly.

Let the princess happy, is the obligation of every British citizen, Alan Wilson thought deeply, only the princess happy, everyone will be happy, the princess still has a lot of superiority, such as body light body soft ……

Princess Margaret is British, in the British extremely sublimated stall, there will not be suffering from emotions, the real difficulty is Xia Meng, she is Chinese, in the British public opinion changes now, it is inevitable that will not be worried.

In front of Alan Wilson, Xia Meng’s appearance of wanting to ask something but not daring to do so fully embodied this entanglement and uncertainty.

“What’s wrong, dear.” Allen Wilson had to take the initiative to speak, saving the lady who was on equal footing with his wife from suffocating Xia Meng from developing a knot in her heart.

“I’ve been reading in the papers that England is forming an expeditionary force.” Summer Dream frowned absent, her complexion filled with melancholy.

“That newspaper thing, filled with fake news, is also worth believing?” Alan Wilson shook his head, his mouth disdainful of the so-called uncrowned king, “Britain has not formulated a similar plan. It was never even considered.”

“But it’s always true that Britain has concentrated the most powerful fleet of the post-war period.” Charmaine grimaced bitterly, not letting up just because a question had been answered, “And what about Shannon, there’s still people saying ……”

“Saying what? Close the harbor? That’s impossible, Britain really has a cow.” Alan Wilson smiled sardonically, “So what if the Royal Navy is assembled, it’s not like the carriers can go ashore. And don’t think for a moment that we think highly of the Indians just because they speak English too, they’re doomed to exist at the bottom of the heap prostrate at Britain’s feet in Britain’s eyes, but now that India’s independent then it’s not even a servant.”

“Don’t think we really support India; racially, the Eastern Europeans are whiter than we are. Not the same as our enemies, the world has a finite capacity, and in the absence of great advances in technology, where others get more, Britain gets less, and we can’t allow a sea of people to live the same life as we do. Not anyone, let alone India.”

“From that point of view, I’d like to thank your mother country, for helping to knock the self-confidence out of our former colonies. Solve one of the several problems, and for that, we’ll all be fine for a short while.”

What a timely war, seeing as how the two populous nations seemed to wear the same pants for the first few years. How can the free world sleep well at this rate?

Don’t think that just because India wasn’t a Soviet institution that it wasn’t a threat, for Britain at the top of the food chain, the existence of countries with the potential to threaten the current international order was inherently irrational.

As for sending out the Royal Navy, that’s a given, Britain has lost that ability in later times, so it’s time to shake things up while it still can, without mincing words.

Of course, this is not Britain’s own problem, after the European countries are actually similar. All of them have almost abolished all the martial arts of the Cold War period, the United Kingdom is an offshore financial center, France is a ride on the African body to survive the rags to riches.

Germany had industry but no military, all European countries were heavily indebted, and many enjoyed high premium luxury goods to support them. Its brightest moment was after the end of the Cold War, before the war in Yugoslavia broke out.

Since then it has been pulled apart by the United States, knowing that Europe’s strength against Russia was based on its economic superiority over Russia, and after being bled out by the United States a few times to the point where its economic superiority is gone? How can the citizens be convinced of their own righteousness?

Anyway, Allen Wilson is very pessimistic about Europe in a few decades, if we all have an economic collapse at the same time, it is obvious that Russia, which has a large land mass, is more resistant to it, with the advantage of low human rights and the huge amount of natural resources, it is still afraid of going all the way down?

What’s more, Europe is with us, and what can Europe rely on to resist? If it can resist, Germany should have won the Soviet Union war instead of the Soviet Union.

While there is still this strength, do not go to show a sense of existence is stupid, Xia Meng may not understand, but after in-depth communication, also understand.

Allen Wilson pacified Charmaine, and then went to the Ministry of Defense to ask Field Marshal Mountbatten, what can be done to assist India’s rags, he believed that there must be, Britain at least is the main participant in the World War.

“Anything too good, given to India, India can’t use.” Alan Wilson uttered before Mountbatten an argument diametrically opposed to British opinion.

Only yesterday, the Times, the largest newspaper in England, had commented bluntly, “India can defeat its enemies only if the Indian army is fitted with armaments of the quantity and quality of those of the United States.”

The Times was not on India’s side and was plainly taking the opportunity to ridicule India, which had previously advocated the adoption of the five principles of peaceful coexistence in solving problems, and was surely going to be subjected to the usual British whining and weird remarks when it asked for help after a defeat.

This also let the Times satirized: “Today’s India has completely changed the previous foreign policy.”

At the US White House, Kennedy was also asking CIA Director Dulles, “Is it true that India is on the eve of a collapse, as the British say?”

“Honorable President, that may be so.” Dulles addressed Kennedy with a subtle change from that one Roosevelt-in-the-world report, which Kennedy unfortunately didn’t pick up on.

“Then we really ought to stop it, only there’s trouble about that, too.” Kennedy said with a turn of phrase, “It’s like what Britain is doing now, isn’t it also out of work.”

Kennedy is referring to the Royal Navy demonstration, the Royal Navy can land combat? No! Britain is doing the same thing that the US did with the navy in the Cuban Missile Crisis, it’s making a big deal out of it, but in reality it’s stalling for time.

The U.S. has only just ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, so naturally it can see at a glance that its old father and itself have the same purpose.

The key is that Kennedy can’t expose Britain yet, the Cuban Missile Crisis is not yet forgotten, if there was another occasion, he didn’t mind deriding the British, but not now. If the British move is uncovered, then the previous U.S. Navy mobilization may also be uncovered.

After some thought, Kennedy still ceded this demonstration occasion to Britain; India was a former British colony. While Britain had a reason to take a stand, the US did not have that reason; the US had a good relationship with Pakistan and not a good relationship with India.

There are two reasons for the US to give the old father a chance to play hardball: firstly, the Cuban Missile Crisis game is being played out near the Caribbean, the US military is in a state of emergency readiness, and a military conflict with the Soviet Union is on the verge of erupting, which leaves the US, which is concentrating its energies on the Western Hemisphere, with no time to look eastward at the situation in the direction of Asia.

At the same time, after the partition of India and Pakistan, Pakistan has become an important strategic ally of the United States, so taking into account the diplomatic position of Pakistan, the United States will not dare to easily give India large-scale military assistance.

So Kennedy finally took diplomatic solidarity and took acquiescence to Britain’s move to play hardball with the Royal Navy.

The way things are going, the glory of the world stage may have to be shared a little with Britain.

Is it a little? The Cuban Missile Crisis was clearly being pushed by Britain towards a de-escalation, or so the Soviets said.

How dare Kennedy try to disprove that which is more than obvious? It is simply outrageous.

But Allen Wilson at the moment did not have a general understanding with the rebellious son, in the Ministry of Defense a rummage, Allen Wilson in the care of Field Marshal Mountbatten, found nine brigades of World War II inventory, such a large amount of equipment is naturally impossible to go through the air, to make a well thought out plan, from the British mainland, through the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, and ultimately shipped to India.

Although the equipment has not yet arrived, but this does not delay the first announcement, soon the British Foreign Office announced that it will assist India enough to arm nine brigades of advanced equipment, as to how advanced is still confidential.

Of course this statement is not all in favor of the British attitude towards India is more divided.

From the previous Times report can be seen, on the one hand, Britain wants to show the love and care of the sovereign state, on the other hand, also did not hide the former colonies to see the bad luck of the gloating.

The formation of this attitude is very complex, but it is indeed real. After the Foreign Office announced that it would immediately assist India, British public opinion changed again, affirming on the one hand the legitimacy of British assistance, and on the other hand arguing that the Indians, no matter what equipment they got, could not change the destiny of the war that had already been lost.

While the statement that Britain was firmly on India’s side was a ringing endorsement, after discussions in the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defense, it would be about two months before the Indians would see the aid that had not yet been loaded on ships for shipment.

“I believe the world has seen the unquestionable attitude of the British Empire.” Facing a group of reporters surrounded by a group of reporters, Alan Wilson said in a state of extreme sublimity.

“Sir Alan, I wonder what you think of the belief that the origin of the war was the McMahon Line.”

“Oh, very pointed question. It is true that there was such a line, but it was drawn at random. Whether it has any validity or not is still a very complicated matter.” Faced with this question, Allen Wilson directly shirked his responsibility, it’s not like he drew that line, he did draw a line, the Wilson line in Goa.

Rushed out of the surroundings of reporters, Alan Wilson instantly returned to Whitehall, in front of Norman Brooke only to restore the usual lightness, “Alan, when do you think it’s appropriate to take substantial support?”

“After the war is over!” Alan Wilson replied without even thinking, “We can spare a company of troops to land in New Delhi aboard a strategic transport plane, and once the armistice is over, let them carry the rice flag and land at New Delhi airport in the name of aid.”
