Chapter 1281 – Might as well get it right

“Yes, the Australian pulse, my dear has always had a good grasp of it.” Alan Wilson laughed heartily, “That’s why you were told to go to Australia after the war instead of Canada, which is certainly more deeply attached to Britain but too close to the United States, and where Newfoundland can’t carry a large number of large mouths to exert enough influence over Canada. At least not to the extent that Malaya does now. The end result of throwing costs at Canada would still be to fail to act as a check.”

“There’s also the fact that Lyndon Johnson will probably choose to sign the Affirmative Action Act after his official inauguration, and if this matter is operated well, it will definitely give a huge shock to the Australian political scene.”

The Five Eyes Coalition will face the problem of future immigration in the future, and if anyone faces this problem more seriously, it will definitely be the United States in absolute numbers, but the threat to Australia is even greater. The threat to the US is the boiling frog in warm water, there are over 200 million Americans themselves, and the influx of immigrants won’t be visible for a while, and it’s only how many people are in Australia.

Actually the safer bets are the UK and Canada, Alan Wilson has pinched the channels for foreign immigration, as for the influx in the direction of North Africa, the UK is safe until France falls.

Pamela Mountbatten barred her husband’s words all memorized, and then asked, “Dear, the United States so much movement, I heard that Korea is also ready to send troops, really can not win?”

“Don’t underestimate the ability of the Chinese motherland to smash pots.” Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, “American style combat, is actually not suitable for this kind of medium scale war. Once you get stuck in it, it’s hard to watch.”

Hard work is certainly useful, and even if it’s not, don’t do the thing where you take a cruise missile and blow up a tent.

The Soviets spent almost a decade in Afghanistan, and that’s all the money the U.S. spends in a year. How big the family can not stand so corrupt, the Soviet Union in the Afghan War period of the big head is not even in Afghanistan, there is the Angola war, Central America’s military assistance.

They are all superpowers, and the US can do things that cost many times more than its rivals. It’s not a problem of the 21st century, it’s a problem of the present. The Korean War showed the first signs of it, and the Vietnam War began to lay the foundation for the shamelessness of the latter.

After some good manners, Alan Wilson watched his wife board the plane; he had one more day in New Delhi before returning to London with Field Marshal Mountbatten.

This time closer and closer to retirement, this time during Mountbatten’s tenure as Britain’s de facto full-time commander-in-chief, he had done what he had promised when he first took office, “The future of the Royal Navy is bright.”

The fact that the air force was taken so seriously at the time made many naval officers and men feel that Mountbatten could not keep his promise, and at the beginning of his term of office, when the chiefs of staff of each of the army, navy, and air force were allowed to go directly to the cabinet ministers and the prime minister if they had something to do, Mountbatten felt that this undoubtedly undermined the authority of the chiefs of staff of the defense staff, and so at the beginning of his term of office he laid down the rule that each of the services was to go to the ministry of defense in advance to get instructions, and they were not allowed to go beyond the level to the Cabinet Ministers and the Prime Minister.

At this point in time, Mountbatten has long been the leader of the British army, during his term of office to complete the orderly turnover of the Royal Navy, the Cuban Missile Crisis proved that the big navy is still useful, on the Middle East and the Far East, the Royal Navy is also very meritorious, and now Mountbatten’s only remaining point of the work, is to will be the retirement of the personnel arrangements to understand.

“Pamela said that the next Chief of Defense Staff already has a candidate.” Sitting on the return airplane, Alan Wilson inquired about the inside story.

“Sir Hull, the general of the Army. When I get back, I’m going to gather the opinions of forty generals for personnel arrangements.” Marshal Mountbatten did not hide, “I am indeed old now.”

It was true that Mountbatten was getting a bit old and frail, he often dozed off during important meetings, and when urgent decisions needed to be made, he was out for a walk.

“Old is not yet a talk, in fact, as long as the marshal rests well, whether it is in the military or not, I believe that the influence on the military is unique.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and comforted, “There is no certain degree of scheming for life after retirement.”

“Edwina likes Perth as well, domestic matters are in your hands, Patricia’s husband is in the House of Lords and is actually limited in what he can do to help.” Marshal Mountbatten glanced at his son-in-law as he said this, “Of course, the situation hasn’t worsened, it’s not as embarrassing as it once was.”

Alan Wilson took it as a sign that he didn’t understand the implication, nothing more than that the House of Lords, which was full of peers, and now had a number of naked officials, had put the family business in Australia, and had taken advantage of the great influx of British capital into the country, and had found the glory days all over again.

Taking advantage of the stall before the retirement of his father-in-law, Alan Wilson has nothing else to ask for, is to hurry to finalize the missile battleship, a change of a military talker, may lead to changes.

Missile anti-ship road, there is no doubt that the Soviet Red Navy’s road, later generations of people take the Ticonderoga-class cruiser and Alyburgh-class against a major country’s edge of the sea class is completely wrong. The closest thing between the two is the tonnage, and there is nothing else close.

The anti-ship capability of the Ticonderoga-class cruiser and the Arleigh Burke-class is not exactly zero, but basically zero.

The core of the US Navy’s combat is aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers are all just anti-aircraft defense forces, and the Blade Sea class has a completely different orientation. It’s a big issue of different routes, not a minor conflict.

If a major power can get the Red Navy halfway there, the U.S. Navy can’t replicate it, because it would have to push everything back and start over again, and the cost of building that billion dollars a frigate on a U.S. ship would only add to the Congressional hit on the money.

In the end Marshal Mountbatten was convinced that ten million pounds to build it really wasn’t a bad deal, and it was cheap to do the technical validation, but he also wanted to ask his son-in-law what was with the love of big guns and huge ships?

That is of course because of the existence of the Kirov battle cruiser, big is beautiful, more is better, caliber is justice, range is the truth.

What’s more, Alan Wilson does not feel that the missile battleship is very backward, in the twenty-first century when the Kirov is indeed very backward, but has just been commissioned in the seventies, who dares not to look high?

Returning to London, Alan Wilson called a Whitehall meeting to discuss several recent events, as well as the independence of Yemen involving the colonies, and the independence of Mauritius. International affairs on the aftermath of the U.S. election, which the prime minister also has to look at, and an assessment of the war in South Vietnam.

“It is with good wishes that we wish the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, to keep the pro-Soviet elements in check without mercy.”

Alan Wilson, confidently, milked the US, which had already intervened precisely in the Vietnam War, “In the guidance of public opinion, it is important to focus on the fact that, being in the perspective of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, we should never whine at this time. Although some issues, Britain and the United States is not without differences exist.”

Treating the melon eaters, I hit hard, facing the Prime Minister’s consultation, Alan Wilson then changed his attitude, “Our American ally is really not good to win, maybe it will evolve towards the Korean War.”

In fact, compared to the Korean War, the consequences of the Vietnam War is even more tragic, because South Korea still exists, South Vietnam is no more, but Allen Wilson, who is also responsible for the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, how can it be possible to strike the confidence of the Americans at this point in time, so that the evolution towards the Korean War, that is, to fight to a draw, reflecting the Cabinet Secretary’s anticipation of the enemy from the strictest, decisive victory in the style of a thousand miles.

“Allen, might as well make it clear.” Aidan was concerned about the matter because Britain had indeed received a request from the United States wishing to send troops. The Cabinet Secretary felt that anticipating the enemy was not serious, but in Aiden’s eyes, the consequences of the Korean War were not serious? Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in action, and the pensions alone could turn heads.

“Simply put, no matter what Washington says, Britain can’t accompany these Romans to burn.” Alan Wilson said this to emphasize, “This will definitely affect support.”

“Naturally, I won’t let Britain get caught in the middle of a boring war.” As soon as he heard about the support rate, Aiden instinctively responded as such, “But it looks like America is very serious this time.”

“We don’t really know if the other side is serious as well. We know from our study of the Soviet bloc, which also includes Russian traditions. That is that they hardly ever fight particularly good battles, but eventually they come out on top.”

Alan Wilson spoke up in a serious manner, “If wars were exchange ratios, Russia would have lost more battles than it would have won, but the fact is that the Soviet Union got its twenty-two million square kilometers of land in the middle of this very unspectacular war.”

Napoleon hammered Imperial Russia back in the day, and the Germans humiliated the Soviets badly, but in the end, Imperial Russia was the gendarme of Europe, and the USSR still had Germany’s Dragon-Rising Land. If you count the exchange ratio, the Korean War is also the United States won, then Aidan heard the possibility of evolving into the Korean War, how all of a sudden not calm?

Finally Alan Wilson opened his mouth to remind the Prime Minister, “Honorable Prime Minister, the U.S. military intervention has just begun, what is needed now is encouragement, at least in words. Otherwise it could damage the special Anglo-American relationship, and we all know that the Americans aren’t as talkative now as they were before the war.”

Aiden also nodded, then instructed, “After the New Year, according to the time we agreed with the Yemeni locals, there should be a round table for the independence agenda, you arrange it.”

“Yes, Prime Minister!” Loyalty was written all over Alan Wilson’s face, then he left the Prime Minister’s office, it was the end of another year, and the Cabinet Secretary still had a lot of things to do, such as confirming the exact figures of the colony’s profits, and informing the Cabinet of the true situation of not being able to make ends meet.

Monroe was making food for the arriving guests, holding out the seasonings in preparation for the men who were on equal footing with their husbands to try their handiwork.

“Pakistani red salt?” Alan Wilson glanced at it and said the name of this salt without the slightest pause.

“You seem to know everything.” Monroe daintily blanked Alan Wilson, “Is it because you want to show off your huge knowledge reserve?”

“That’s not true, this salt is thirty times more expensive than sea salt on the market, and it’s mined by Pamela’s company in Pakistan.” Alan Wilson thought to himself that this was a proper IQ tax, and once the demand was created, the value went through the roof.

Japan likes tuna after its economic takeoff, and currently Newfoundland fishermen are feeding off the sea to satisfy the needs of the nice little Japanese people who are small and rich at first glance.
