Chapter 1255 – British-Australian Security Agreement

In Indonesia by a vigorously out of the miracle, Britain is not without loss, according to the MI6 out of the head of Richard White’s information, at least MI6 has nine intelligence officers unaccounted for, most likely in the hands of the Sukarno government, in the hands of the Sukarno government is just a judgment, in fact, he does not know in the hands of whom.

Alan Wilson heart a little guilty, he had thought that it would not be so soon, but did not expect the Soviet Union without martial arts to come over recklessly, and now in the hands of the hands of the nine British building blocks may be.

Richard White was still eyeing Alan Wilson with the obvious look of supreme authority to wipe his ass, and Alan Wilson cleared his throat and said, “It is natural to save if safety can be assured, and we will not stand by while lawful citizens are detained without cause.”

Just as Richard White breathed a sigh of relief, Alan Wilson changed his mind, “But this is a very troublesome matter. First of all we don’t know if they are still alive, or if they have unfortunately been captured. If they were captured, the current public information has not been used to make an issue of it, and if we take the initiative to rescue them, maybe Moscow is waiting for us. If it was killed in the midst of the chaos and we took the initiative to ask about it, that was more of an excuse for Moscow, which had been saying that Britain was trying to stage a coup in Indonesia.”

Alan Wilson meant to wait a little longer, it’s not like the free world hasn’t suffered a loss before, think about the u2 reconnaissance plane incident three years ago, isn’t it very similar to the incident at hand? If you don’t admit it, it’s not easy to build an information cocoon in this day and age, and the U.S. didn’t admit to the U2 reconnaissance plane incident at first, either.

Until the Soviets showed the captured pilots, the U.S. experienced the feeling of yellow mud rotting in the crotch.

“Secretary General, they were all working in Britain’s interest.” Richard White said this, in no way in love with his subordinates, and it’s not true to say that, it’s accurate to say that subordinates can be sacrificed, but his subordinates as secretary-general can’t be sacrificed.

“Richard, strategic determination.” Alan Wilson promised vaguely, “as long as the opportunity is right, Whitehall will certainly find a way. It won’t let the pillars of the country die in vain.”

Now Allen Wilson could only pray that these pillars of the country had really already died for their country, if they were alive instead, it would be difficult. Finding a chance to let Foltseva kill and exterminate them, are less costly than saving them back.

The dust of the times, falling on the body of the individual, are a mountain, Alan Wilson in the already know that there are intelligence officers fell in the hands of the enemy under the possibility, still in accordance with the original plan, will be united with Egypt, Iraq, Australia’s military exercise program to the prime minister, exercise program Freedom Shield.

He believed that the captured intelligence officers, even if they were alive, are also aware of the situation, surely can understand the current British suffering, as for the rescue can be through the Moscow Embassy to talk to the Soviets.

In any case, the United Kingdom can just help the Soviet Union to solve the plight of food shortage, can not even you hit your I hit my can not do?

“Joining forces with Egypt and Iraq, that’s a pretty bold response considering the faith aspect.” Prime Minister Aidan asked, holding up the plan of action that Alan Wilson had forwarded to the Ministry of Defense, “When will the exercise take place to make clear Britain’s position on Indonesian subversion?”

“Honorable Prime Minister, let’s see what the Australian side makes clear first.” Alan Wilson spoke up, “I believe that Field Marshal Mountbatten will be able to bring us clarity.”

Public opinion was something that was quite important, if not the most important, for electing countries, except that most of the time politicians tended to make public opinion not work. It’s not like it can’t be done; the same thing you do is a betrayal of the national interest, I do is historic foresight.

Since becoming Britain’s Chief of Defense Staff, years of vision came to fruition, and Mountbatten felt that his decades-long military career had reached its zenith. At this time his position in the British armed forces was second only to the civilian Secretary of State for Defense, but in the eyes of the public, he was much more important than the Secretary of State for Defense and was the true master of the entire British military.

The visit of the supreme commander of the British army to Australia after the discoloration of Indonesia naturally received great attention from Australia, which was in the midst of raging public opinion. For the arrival of Field Marshal Mountbatten, Australia’s Prime Minister Menzies even very high-profile expression of welcome, but also as a proof of the unbreakable relationship between Britain and Australia. The Australian flag and the British flag mingled, and the Australians waving both flags were so heartfelt.

“Father, I didn’t expect you to come in person.” Pamela Mountbatten thoughtfully offered Marshal Mountbatten orange juice, “Mother will be here in a moment, the environment here is considered very good in Australia. The temperatures and rainfall are good and mother is very comfortable living here.”

“It is good that Edwina is satisfied.” Marshal Mountbatten sighed and couldn’t help but spit out, “It wasn’t your husband who forced me to come to Australia, saying I had the contacts.”

“It was persuasion that convinced you to accept.” Pamela Mountbatten trimmed the word forcing from her father’s mouth, “Actually, who else but you? With a population of nearly one hundred million, Indonesia is putting too much pressure on Australia, which has a population of just over ten million.”

“I think I heard Alan say that most of Indonesia doesn’t have a large population either.” Marshal Mountbatten spoke up, he did seem to have heard his son-in-law say that.

“Yes, the heart of Indonesia is in Java, sixty percent of the population is on that island of a hundred thousand square kilometers out.” Pamela Mountbatten nodded her head and replied, “The whole of Australia, in a fair year, produces less than half of Java’s grain nationally.”

To compare the agricultural conditions of Java, the seven million square kilometers of Australia wouldn’t even be enough to fight half of Java. Australia’s land is truly barren.

“With so many people crammed into such a small island, it’s no wonder the Indonesian Communist Party is growing so fast.” Marshal Mountbatten shook his head, the Communist Party of Indonesia grew fast when British India was in power, Mountbatten knew about the existence of the Communist Party of Indonesia, but at that time he had no more power, the population density of Java was much higher than India.

Not long after, Field Marshal Mountbatten’s wife Edwina arrived, Pamela Mountbatten left the space for her parents, after the youngest daughter some banknote ability to power, Edwina’s body is much better than in previous years, itself is acutely ill, far from running out of gas, and stayed in Perth with the children for a long time, and is now free of problems.

Listening to Edwina rave about this place in Perth, Field Marshal Mountbatten couldn’t help but whisper, “Darling, I’ll live here with you after I retire, too.”

Allen Wilson did everything he could for his country, not realizing that at this moment, he suddenly became a naked official, with himself on top of the Cold War front line and his family in the rear.

To say so is also an underestimation of the role of the wife, Pamela Mountbatten greatly aroused Australia’s interest in the American affirmative action movement, and year after year of concern, Australians are extremely concerned about all the chaos brought about by blacks in the U.S. A number of Australians believe that the U.S. is on the verge of degeneration.

The naysaying of the subject of White Australian policy is not being discussed, and this thinking has erupted once again at the present juncture of Indonesia’s color change. It’s true that black Americans are black, but Indonesians are no whiter.

At the same time, of course, qualifying movies were circulating among the Australian loser community, about blacks and whites, adding to the proliferation of this mindset. To be fair, Woodpecker Pictures itself is in the business, and without the care of the Cabinet Secretary, there would be no chance of a submissive.

Australia is a member of the British-led Five Nation Defense and a member of the US-Australia New Security Treaty. Two major powers serving Australia alone, how small a blessing is that?

This time Field Marshal Mountbatten arrived in Canberra, the capital of Australia, after a day in Perth, to talk about the clarification of the protective obligations Britain should have towards Australia after Indonesia turned hostile, i.e., the need for a new treaty to appease an anxious Australia.

The main elements were that the two countries would maintain and develop “resistance to armed attack” through “self-help and mutual assistance”, and that they would consult together in the event of a “threat” to either State Party. In the event of an “armed attack” against either of the States parties, they shall respond together.

The Treaty remains in force indefinitely. The treaty establishes a platform for direct communication between the chiefs of staff of the two countries, a council of assistants to the foreign ministers of the two countries and a meeting of military representatives.

The so-called Assistant Foreign Ministers was actually a deliberate reference by Field Marshal Mountbatten, who had not forgotten that his son-in-law had kicked him to Australia. Alan Wilson was still Permanent Under Secretary at the British Foreign Office.

The Concordat made it clear that Britain had a special security obligation to Australia to avoid any extraterritorial state threatening Australia, and that the two countries would work together to protect the safety of free navigation.

Then a heavy news came, Australia spent a lot of money, want Britain to build a modern fleet for the Australian Navy, as well as orders for high-altitude interceptors, the Navy and Air Force to use British weapons, is to cooperate with the British garrison in Malaya. Together, the naval and air force orders totaled £400 million.

When questioned in the House of Commons, Defense Secretary Profumo said, “The Ministry of Defense will strengthen its force placement in the Royal Pacific Fleet by mobilizing three large aircraft carriers to be integrated into the Pacific Fleet. In the future, the Queen Elizabeth class will replace the Eagle class carriers based in the Persian Gulf. West of the Suez Canal, there will be Queen Victoria class carriers in charge of all of them, with Cyprus and Malta as as a support to ensure security in the Mediterranean.”

On arms sales, Profumo sings the praises of the sea of local jobs that will be created in the UK, which is of course good for the economy, but of course his role ends there. Where economic development is expounded upon, it is more appropriately answered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
