Chapter 1389 – The Beauty Plan
The role of the destroyer fleet is very important, without the cover of the frigate fleet, the aircraft carrier will really be a target.
As for the British Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy do not have to learn, must be hard on the nuclear power, the two countries are different, if the U.S. can really make all-nuclear fleet, that naturally there is nothing to say, is certainly higher than the British Royal Navy a grade.
But the U.S. all-nuclear fleet can’t be made, the U.S. Navy’s combat radius depends on how far the frigate fleet can run, not how far the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can run, the barrel theory, the short board determines the overall play, not the strengths, the nuclear power can run even farther, can’t be detached from the frigate fleet to act on its own.
“Alright, Secretary General.” Makins raised his hand to indicate that he had it all wrapped up and watched the Supreme Authority leave.
Dennis Healey couldn’t help but get tired of seeing this, he was the real Secretary of Defense, not the Cabinet Secretary, “Makins, it seems that you all take armament development extremely seriously, hasn’t there ever been a Secretary of Defense who told you that armaments should be kept in moderation?”
“Disarmament huh?” Makins listened to Dennis Healey’s words and immediately brought back memories, “But at that time I was not yet the permanent undersecretary of defense, and I heard that Duncan, the defense minister of the Conservative Party, had once had such an idea, and that was already a long time ago.”
Pakistan’s military leader, Yahya Khan, blatantly overturning a general election that already had a result can be considered extremely ugly and worse than Saddam’s ninety-eight percent approval rating. Although Saddam is fraud but at least still pretending to have a high approval rate, Yahya Khan did not even have a statement.
Britain’s congratulatory letter has been sent, but Yahya Khan overturned this decision, no doubt in the face of Britain, can not be tolerated.
As the prime minister of a world power, Harold Wilson, faced with such an outcome, still felt very much on top of his head even though he had already talked about it before.
Alan Wilson is in this situation, to ten Downing Street, originally this kind of thing should be discussed with the foreign secretary, but the foreign secretary went to the United States, is on the United States strive to use Germany and Japan to balance the British and French move argued, especially in response to the Japanese, now London is only left with Alan Wilson, who is also the permanent undersecretary in.
“Prime Minister, it appears that there has been an outcome that we did not want.” Alan Wilson came just in time to run into the Prime Minister’s expression of disquiet on his face, and immediately said, “We have done as much as we can to maintain peace, and we can have a clear conscience when something like this occurs.”
“Since you can’t afford to lose, don’t open the general election.” Harold Wilson cursed Yahya Khan that military head, what is this? And what can be gained?
Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the Prime Minister was afraid of affecting his support, but it didn’t matter, as long as the final result was good, it wouldn’t affect the Labor Party’s support, “The UK did everything, it’s Pakistan’s own problem, but? It might be seized by India.”
“You mean India will take the opportunity to attack Pakistan?” Harold Wilson mused, “Indeed, that possibility was envisioned at first. What about Indira as a person?”
“A strong-wristed iron lady.” Alan Wilson did not hide his opinion and held Indira Gandhi’s style in high esteem.
Indira Gandhi, after a few years, has smoothed out the internal constraints of the Congress Party, won the support of the general public inside and outside the party with a left-wing image, and introduced some radical measures.
Curbing the economic activities of large consortia, imposing a new industrial licensing system, expanding production by monopoly consortia and opening up new products to set up new ventures, all of which needed to be approved by government departments.
In his memory, the election countries are very few people touch family planning, but Indira Gandhi really implemented, and also change the Nehru era of propaganda and education, to implement very radical means, in short, is to give people sterilization surgery, a year of sterilization of four million people, the means of the strong unheard of. Would Modi dare to do that? He wouldn’t have dared to do it, even if he was scared to death.
However, Allen Wilson still did not and the prime minister, the impact of the Indo-Pakistani war, in fact, India completely adopted a pro-Soviet policy, through and the Soviet Union’s bundling, only to dare to dismember the pro-US Pakistan.
In India’s point of view, India simply does not need a maritime power ally, maritime power is simply not very useful to help India.
In later times India has been refusing to condemn Russia under US pressure because Russia is an army power and the US is stronger than the navy. Russia a big army does not come out also have a role to play, the United States across two oceans even if the Navy is sent over, but also can not help India what.
Russia even if only half the national strength of the United States, India do not need Russia to say anything, their own posting, it is clear that the Soviet Union in this era has the strength to attract India.
However, in front of the current British Prime Minister, he is not good to say that Britain is about to lose India, said and what use, but also can not change anything, Britain’s national attributes and the United States are the same as the ocean power.
After deliberation, the two first temporarily think wait and see what happens as well, my Great Britain to lead the world for hundreds of years, naturally is not a lack of strategic determination, can not what did not happen to go to do the head out of the head.
Of course Harold Wilson also agreed, the Middle East and the Far East British troops should carry out some necessary contingency preparations, is still in the dark.
Inside the apartment, Charmaine was busying herself with food, preparing to show her hand to a man of equal status to her husband, while a boy followed beside her with a hand, the boy, dark-haired and dark-eyed but with some mixed-race features in his profile, complained about coming on a trip to just work, “Mother, is this child labor abuse?”
“Cut the crap, you are my son.” Xia Meng face a plate set out the majesty of the mother, the hands of the spoon non-stop, stir frying a simple dish, leeks scrambled eggs.
Just at this time the knock on the door, so that Xia Meng can not care to continue to be a cook, directly a trot to open the door, a packet of goji berries first passed through the doorway, Alan Wilson’s side of the shoes while changing shoes, “burn some water to soak on, this day, there are always countless things waiting for me.”
“Son is back.” Charmaine reminded in a small voice, the red flush on her face indicating that she was now embarrassed.
“What’s wrong? Just come back.” Alan Wilson didn’t feel anything at all and put down his briefcase, “Then again, it should be managed. It’s not good to always put it in Xiangjiang.”
The head of the family naturally have faction, Alan Wilson directly sat down and took out a 1970’s newly published book, called the American Empire in the storm read up, by the way, waiting for dinner.
In a certain sense this kind of book can be seen from the name, is a variant of the collapse of the United States, from this time to the Reagan period, is considered to be a high incidence of such books. The next time we’ll see this kind of book in great popularity will need to be 2008 after the subprime mortgage crisis.
After a while Charmaine made dinner and came over to call the head of the family to dinner, she saw the book in block letters and couldn’t help but speak up, “You still care beyond belief about the East.”
“The population size is there, do you think I’m the kind of fool Washington is, taking it for granted that it’s okay to pretend I can’t see it?” Alan Wilson put the book down and followed behind Xia Meng, “But I admit that the foundation of your country is still very good, I heard that there is neither domestic nor foreign debt, so it can be said that the foundation has been laid, and now it needs an opportunity.”
Neither domestic nor foreign debt is indeed the current portrayal of a large country, regardless of internal and external leverage is zero, the foundation of this good, anyway, the latter days of Japan and Europe are burdened with a huge debt, Japan’s debt are running at three hundred percent to go, encountered what happened to the fiscal intervention have no space, even if the interest rate hike of one percent, the interest rate can make Japan can not afford to pay back, does Japan like negative interest rates? There is no other way.
The family ate a happy meal, Alan Wilson lit a cigar, enjoying the after-dinner smoke rushed Charlotte said, “Your accent to change, the accent of the fragrant river does not have not universal. The next time I see you with an accent this bad, I’ll fill you in on your complete childhood.”
“Got it, father.” Charlotte’s head was sweating, he still had some fear in his heart for this father, and he was busy assuring that he would definitely change.
“Not yet an adult, first call Sir. Never again!” Alan Wilson still practicing the role of a strict father, did not give Xia Meng’s son a bit of good face, “In the future, you are not allowed to speak English in conversation with me, my level of Mandarin is enough to talk to you.”
After dinner it was already late in the day, it was time for Xia Meng to counterattack and squeeze in the man’s arms for her son, “I think you just can’t see us as mother and son.”
“Stop it, he has a wide world ahead of him in the future.” Alan Wilson is not to say that Xia Meng did not guess correctly at all, he is now on this education problem is only just getting on the heart, after getting on the heart, he found the problem, for example, Albert, which has stayed in Rhodesia for several months, and do not know what they are doing.
How could the old father in London know that the good old son was now on the verge of this pleasure, lingering among the tall, red-lipped Slavic hairy girls.
Can’t blame the heir to the supreme authority for not seeing the market, all blame Grace is trying to count on the boy who is not deep in the world, full of curiosity about the world, didn’t the supreme authority say that, in order to show sincerity, as long as Rhodesia does not become independent, the marriage that is absolutely not a problem, so what are you waiting for.
Rhodesia’s endless wilderness, has become the best place for young boys and girls to chase, just about to come to a sky as a quilt ground as a bed, although at this time London is already close to the end of the year, but the climate here is not the slightest bit of cold, Albert only feel the warmth of the spring, as in the paradise of the world.
“Sophia you wait for me.” Albert is a big licking dog, follow the instinct to chase the girl in his heart, to his father’s strict order him to consider the problem of joining the army after a year of dissatisfaction, but also unconsciously disappeared.
“Oh, Sir is fine with counting being, he knows that this matter must be very interesting.” Grace muttered very smugly to his wife.
