Chapter 1411 Difficult Situation

“But now the situation is already obvious, whether it is the Bay of Bengal, or West Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, are in the middle of India’s blockade, Pakistan’s situation is not optimistic, and this is not counting the land India’s siege of East Pakistan, after the western front is broken through, what about the Pakistani defenders?”

Burke Trench said this to look at Alan Wilson, the meaning is clear, the United States is not necessarily able to save back the Pakistan at a disadvantage.

“Being divided and surrounded, what else can be done? Although I always sneer at India, but also recognize that in this world just rely on the basic disk development, India is also a bad containment of the country, the Indians if the bar of sound and colorful standards set a little lower, is a country can not be ignored.”

Alan Wilson very objective answer, in fact, India if the general standards, in the twenty-first century has long risen.

Although it is true that the average person in the country is poor! But the total amount is there, the national power to see the total amount does not look at the per capita, in the country’s point of view there are not many countries can suppress India.

Objectively speaking, India on the front horizontal several countries, that is, the United Nations P5, and India is not far from the strength of Britain and France. Who of the remaining Japan and Germany dares to say they are better than India?

Germany a vampire eating EU dividends, Japan from the undisputed second in the world, per capita over the United States thirty percent of the country, into a per capita of almost forty countries, what is the concept, the developed countries is less than forty, Japan has been close to the end of the dangling, is moving towards the per capita of Greece.

And countries like Japan and South Korea, and European statistics on a level of countries to pay the hard work is not the same.

On the contrary India, even if one of the domestic problems does not change, with the rough development of the population area, can achieve a large economic output, just start a little tough.

This is as simple as a large country wants to increase the growth rate, for example, learn the human lighthouse, the citizens of self-built housing in accordance with the proportion of the rent into the statistics, the human lighthouse part of the 1.5 trillion dollars, the cost of health care 4 trillion dollars, the cost of lawyers 1.2 trillion dollars, and this does not count the three pillars of the United States of America’s education.

Including all the above ranges in the statistics, not to mention the growth rate of five and a half percent, even eight percent is not a problem, but the statistics will later become watered down, and the same gold as India.

Specifically to Pakistan, the area and population should always account for one, Pakistan two are not accounted for, now it depends on how long can top not surrender, after all, the defenders of East Pakistan to kill one is less than one, there is no possibility of a people’s war, the local army and the Bengalis are not an ethnic group.

Following India’s attack there are also trained 40,000 Bengali exiles, even without them leading the way, the attack on East Pakistan is not a problem for India, India also has Bengalis, the language will not appear to be incompatible with the water.

“Indeed, Pakistan has too many disadvantages.” John Hunt nodded in agreement, “We can’t even find out what Pakistan’s strengths are. Other than the American task force that is about to enter the Bay of Bengal, this may be Pakistan’s only chance to change its fortunes.”

“The navy can’t decide the outcome of a land war. Let alone pinning your hopes on the United States.” The corner of Alan Wilson’s mouth twitched, “The US isn’t going to try to be land overlords for a long time.”

The American side wanted Britain to stop the tracking Red Navy fleet, which was rejected by Britain on the grounds of international importance of the waterways, after all, the south coast is still in the hands of Indonesia, and that’s not something that Britain can just say blockade.

If you listen to the United States of America’s momentary pleasure, in the future, who would dare to trust the United Kingdom? Doing so Singapore’s development may be affected, the United Kingdom does not dare to rush up in the heat of the moment.

As a humble social utility, Alan Wilson or try to complete their own work, such as reviewing the personnel arrangements submitted by the departments, and then make the final appointment and dismissal, there are Fan Jin Zhongjiao’s have a reputation for failure, the losers do not have to complain about the bad luck, there are reasons, such as whether or not there is an overseas relationship such as the U.S., or whether or not there are Jews.

This appointment and dismissal criteria, anyway, Alan Wilson does not say no one knows, he is the British cabinet secretary general, Britain’s wealthiest person is his wife, so many candidates, was brushed down very normal.

Fast track to promotion, certainly only belongs to a few people’s patents, only 95% of the elimination rate, compared to East Asian countries is still very loose, and the final evolution of the South Asian involution of the caste system is not comparable.

The characteristics of “fast promotion channel” are fast promotion speed and wide range of mobility, because as long as you pass the examination, you are the reserve officer of the department, and your name will definitely appear on the list of proposed promotions. When someone else thirty years old is still in the bitter simmering seniority good mix a supervisor, you thirty years old may have been a real official that can clap, can sign the kind of “dominate the power of life and death,” the feeling of boredom.

If you do not take the rapid promotion channel, a civil servant probably the end of the benefit of society, should be in the hands of the Permanent Secretary of the eighty-seven Deputy Secretary to stop there.

Alan Wilson himself is purely a special case because of the dislocation brought about by the independence of British India and the return of a large number of civil servants to their home countries, a process which he put to bed while overseas.

In fact, in the current promotion process, there are quick jumps to positions, such as widespread developing countries, to be more specific, black Africa or countries with difficult conditions, and island nations on the edge of the world.

The conditions in these countries are right there, and they must be allowed the proper opportunity to be promoted over the ranks.

Even as a supreme authority, Alan Wilson had to look for like-minded associates to benefit society, and it was obvious that he didn’t have overseas connections, so others had better not have them, and he wasn’t Jewish, so his colleagues had better not be either, it was as simple as that.

“Send Frank in.” Having done that, Alan Wilson showed his democracy by asking the Permanent Secretary of the Treasury to come over.

The Treasury has a special position within Whitehall, known as “the middle of the ministry” and “the first ministry”, and the British Prime Minister is the First Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Before the British government set up the Chief Civilian Officer in accordance with the Fulton Report, the management of the British civil service was vested in the Ministry of Finance. Even now, the Treasury still controls the financial power of the Civil Service.

However, in the early post-war period, Britain was in debt, and at the same time Britain was ganging up all over the place to protect a Britain that could no longer afford to benefit from a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was even more highly regarded at that time.

It must be recognized that Allen Wilson caught up with the good times, but now the Ministry of Finance, although also always be Bibi chatter, but the importance of the Ministry of Finance has been and when it is incomparable, he asked Frank to come to talk about it, but also respect for the authority of the Ministry of Finance, but also by the way to communicate about the printing of a bit of money to invest in the construction of post-war Bengal thing.

Print money this is Britain also dry, but not as big as the United States dry, in the United States before the foreign debt, the United Kingdom can really do not dare, since the United States to empty the foreign debt, cut off the United States of America’s debt may be forced, the United Kingdom can also do so.

Frank naturally felt no problem, and it is not put into the domestic market, but put in Bangladesh, depending on the Finance Minister Callaghan will not let go.

“I don’t know if it’s been influenced by the polls, but recently the Conservatives have been in the House of Commons, and they think the Prime Minister is inactive.” Frank deserves inaction as a result of Britain’s failure to exert influence over its former colonies.

“The Conservative Party can do this, to be the opposition party is hard.” Alan Wilson chuckled, “It’s only now where it’s time to intervene. There are two strategic transport planes already in Nepal, going over in the name of conscripting Nepalese soldiers, there is no reason for New Delhi to stand in the way, we have time to react when the time is right.”

“East Pakistan is now completely isolated, the defenders have been cut off from all external aid routes and the sea has been blocked in addition to the land predicament.”

In the face of a fully equipped Indian carrier fleet, Pakistan’s naval forces in the east are typically “air-submarine fast configuration.” In addition to the navy’s shore guns deployed at the base, it also relies on air force aircraft, four gunboats that can hide in the river and submarines.

If they can form a joint combat force, enough to pose a threat to the Vikrant. This configuration was the same kind of brick wall that many underdeveloped naval nations often bragged about.

“Isn’t there a rumor that the Soviet Navy is on its way to the Bay of Bengal?” Frank inquired, “The U.S. still wants us to block the Soviet Red Navy in the Strait of Malacca.”

“We can’t afford to mess with them.” As soon as he heard someone talk about the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson looked putty, “This country stinks and is hard, what can you do about it? Ever since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviets have been holding their breath to get rid of the shame, they are heading towards the United States, and we are blocking them? What kind of joke is that?”

“That’s true, we really can’t do anything about them.” Frank agreed after hearing this, since the Supreme Authority said they were waiting, then they would wait a little longer to see what changed.

The fighting in East Pakistan continued, and it could be said that the Pakistani defenders were already in the midst of their own battles in various parts of the country, with Dhaka as the center being divided into several areas, and were in a rather bad situation.

In the face of advancing Indian armor and infantry, some Pakistani soldiers of course showed great bravery, holding on to their positions to prevent the Indian army from continuing to advance, even if they just all die in their positions, they must stop the Indian army! Otherwise India’s iron wall strategy would have succeeded.

The battle was brutal, some soldiers were even strapped with explosives to die with the Indian tanks, and the Pakistani ministries, which were already unable to support each other, were in a very dangerous situation. This crisis was also radioed to Yahya Khan, who was also in a dilemma.

If nothing is done to lose East Pakistan, Yahya Khan is sure to end sadly, but if the launch of an attack and India to fight a full-scale war, obviously has already been pillowed up Indian troops, will not let him as he wishes, Yahya Khan’s fate and the present stormy East Pakistan defending troops, bright and uncertain.
