Chapter 1415 Britain is back
The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Bay of Bengal has touched the hearts of the world, and it is the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis that the two countries have faced each other on the sea. Unknown and irresponsible tabloids have already compared this confrontation to a trigger for World War III.
Such statements are, of course, highly irresponsible and deserve to be severely criticized, as countless peacemakers have campaigned for them at a critical time when the world is under a nuclear shadow. Obviously this is again the domain of diplomacy.
Alan Wilson was obviously no exception, Britain could not sit back and watch a world war break out, so he looked for an opportunity to meet with someone from the Soviet embassy, what’s the problem?
Communicating to Moscow on a diplomatic level was also about saving world peace, and this was all done with the tacit approval of the Prime Minister, so no one could pick a fight, not to mention no one knew about it at all.
At this time, the Indo-Pakistani war has entered a white-hot stage, the western front Pakistan’s attack has long been in India’s expectations, and did not play a role in curtailing the war in East Pakistan.
As for the focal point of the war in East Pakistan, there are also some changes, East Pakistan among the three attacks, since the Siliguri corridor attack on the North Road Army has made the most progress.
Compared with the offensive forces on the east and west, the northern front is not so many engaged troops, the northern direction refers to the Dhaka, Tangail, Jamalpur, Mymensingh and other areas between the Jamuna and Meghna rivers.
The offensive and defensive operations on both sides were concentrated in the Jamalpur, Mymensingh & Tangail areas. The Indian army first invested two brigades of troops to hold back the Pakistani army in front of them, so that they could not reinforce the combat in other directions, and after the smooth development of the other directions of combat, then, depending on the situation, they captured Jamalpur, Mymensingh, and pushed forward to the direction of Dhaka.
The Pakistani army also deployed two brigades in this area, mainly tasked with the defense of Mymensingh, Jamalpur and Tangail area, but the troops belonging to the weaker fighting force, personnel, equipment are inadequate.
After the battle was launched, the Indian army attacked Jamalpur and Mymensingh, which were defended by the Pakistani army, in three directions. The Bengal Independence Force (BIF), on the other hand, acted in tandem with the Indians in the Tangail area, disrupting the Pakistani army’s lines of communication and transportation and causing confusion in the rear of the Pakistani army.
“Should I congratulate Moscow?” Alan Wilson poured a cup of black tea for Alexeyev and looked at the good Dahl’s expression and said.
“Honorable Sir, there is something to say, I will faithfully convey the attitude of Britain, as for how Moscow think, I do not know.” Arikseyev was full of business.
“Don’t be so cold. I have no intention of using you for anything by blood, but I have made a small and insignificant contribution to your success today anyhow.” Alan Wilson finished his words and brought the topic to the center of the world’s attention right now, the matter of the maritime standoff in the Bay of Bengal.
Alikseyev did not answer, his success today the other party also contributed? Providing a pair of chromosomes? He had been living in the Soviet Union, how did this Sir provide help?
Alan Wilson, of course, is not good to say that you can catch a big spy to take credit, all because of yourself, but this is good, each other to keep a safe distance, so as not to waste public affairs for personal reasons.
Public affairs is naturally the Soviet Union can not give the United States a step down, do not continue in the Bay of Bengal, of course, this is the prime minister’s eyes of the public affairs, Allen Wilson did not expect to succeed, which he has such a big face to let the Soviet Union back off?
The United States and the Soviet Union this maritime confrontation is essentially a spillover effect, the main battlefield is still on land, as long as India finally win, naturally blocking the U.S. task force of the Soviet Red Navy is the winner, which is complementary.
Pakistan’s defeat is the same as the United States did not achieve its goal, then the United States this time the imposing sent the task force, will become a pure talking point, nothing will remain.
“Sir, you’re asking the Soviet Union to give the United States a leg up, the United States is a hostile enemy, are you guys different from the United States?” Alikseyev sneered, what was this, it was like treating him like a child.
Out of the good Dahl’s expectation, Alan Wilson didn’t retort at all, instead he nodded his head and said, “That’s right, of course Britain is also your enemy. From my personal point of view, it’s not just the Soviet Union either, any country that uses the Soviet system shouldn’t exist in this world, and I’d certainly crash your mentors if I could go back in time. I’m an honest man, I don’t hide what I think, a bunch of poor countries that deserve to be colonized are no match for us, today there are countries all over the world that dare to shout down Britain, and the full responsibility for that rests on your shoulders in Moscow.”
“But then, in our self-assessment, Britain is still in a position to not become an enemy of the Soviet Union, so the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union is now very much in line with a Middle Eastern proverb, I’m with my brother against my cousin, and I’m with my cousin against the outsider.”
This Arab proverb fully proves that no matter what Britain and the United States and also France, these colonial powers, no matter what they do in the Middle East, really according to public opinion Arab opponents are the majority.
So Britain could only support the monarchies in the Middle East and could not allow the emergence of democratically elected governments in its sphere of influence.
The Soviet Union was not concerned about the emergence of democratically elected governments in the Arab world, after all, the colonial historical baggage, the entire Middle East only Iran to the old Maoists, the other countries of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union have no feeling.
Arab countries, after all, are not purely modern countries, there is still a wide range of simple emotions, in their view the introduction of the Soviet Union to balance the colonial powers, including the United States, is normal, and after decades of Arabia are hoping that a certain big country to hurry up and stop pretending that the Emirs have admired, it is up to you to take on the obligations of the Soviet Union.
“Sir, this is a war between the Indians and Pakistan, not between the US and the USSR, or Britain.” Alexeyev thought for a moment and gave an answer that the advantage was with me.
As long as India reached its strategic goal of dismembering Pakistan, the winner of this confrontation would naturally be is the Soviet Union, which was something that anyone with a slight understanding of the international situation could understand.
“In fact, you misunderstand one thing, I am not begging the Soviet Union for anything, the reason why Britain stays out of this confrontation is entirely because Britain controls the Andaman Islands in its hands. With fixed airfield runways on the islands, we won’t have to send out aircraft carriers, the islands themselves are an unsinkable aircraft carrier. In fact, Britain has quite a lot of military power in Southeast Asia. It’s not just all battleships either, there’s an Eagle class carrier as well, and a missile battleship that doesn’t even exist in the USSR, the Field Marshal Mountbatten, which has more firepower on it than any warship known to the Soviet Red Navy at the moment. Once the fleet docked at Perth is out of harbor, the British and American fleets have an overwhelming advantage over yours.”
Alan Wilson spoke eloquently to the good Dahl, it wasn’t a threat to anyone, it was purely factual, don’t think the Soviets were the only ones who could play with the Arsenal, it wasn’t as if Britain couldn’t work on the Arsenal with Australia shelling out the money.
“You’re threatening the Soviets!” Alexeyev’s face was hard; he didn’t have much in common with this biological father, but one of the few things he did have in common happened to be patriotism.
“It’s cooperation. Britain is also favoring the Indian side. Who wouldn’t love a market of almost 600 million people, and you don’t want to monopolize it. What’s more, India is a founding member of the non-aligned and won’t completely throw that brand away, and New Delhi has its own pursuits.”
India is a country that dares to go to war if it has the support of a superpower, but of course you let India compare itself to its own powerful rivals without the support of other powers, that’s definitely not going to work.
Indians are not stupid, so Britain is stronger than India, and if it was just a matter of India versus Britain, India would not say anything.
But this is a time of war, and if India thinks that the support of the Soviet Union will decide everything, it’s not worth it in case it gets bold enough to give Britain a hard time. Britain just wants to perform an extreme ascension, it’s not like she wants to fall after an extreme ascension.
The attitude of the Soviet Union determined India’s boldness, so the matter of British military presence in Sikkim had to gain the acquiescence of the Soviet Union.
Alexeyev knew that this was not analyzing to himself, but communicating with Foltseva through himself, and only that mother, who ranked as one of the giants of the Soviet Union, was able to speak on critical occasions.
Two days later, the battlefield of the Indo-Pakistani war was once again changed, the northern and eastern portals of Dacca had been captured, and only the western defenses were still in the midst of heavy fighting.
The 2,000 marines of the U.S. task force were still floating on the sea, and the news had already leaked out, and the whole country knew that the U.S. was really ready to intervene in the war.
This fact made a huge anti-American wave appear in the whole of India, anyway, the Soviet fleet is also there, India is not afraid of the United States.
At this time, Alan Wilson took the results of this underhanded operation, the Soviet Union think about Britain and Sikkim how, Sikkim is an independent and autonomous country, of course, has the right to decide to make a choice at this time.
“Will it cause a backlash from India.” Harold Wilson was also still a little hesitant, landing in Sikkim was also going to appear in Indian airspace.
“No problem.” Alan Wilson pressed on his glowing British India resume, if India didn’t want the Royal Navy to flood the crowded Bay of Bengal as well, it shouldn’t have made a sound.
Almost pressed for takeoff in Kathmandu, New Delhi was briefed from London that two Belfast sc-5 strategic transport planes, carrying British aid this time, were gently skimming over the southern foothills of the Himalayas to land in eagerly awaited Sikkim.
I Great Britain’s journalists are not likely to aircraft carriers photographed as fishing boats, two transport aircraft, but in the photo presents the Berlin airlift momentum, out of the cabin of the British soldiers with more flags, but also helped the journalists, the British military force appeared in the tension of South Asia, this explosive news is enough to satisfy the British domestic keyway in the middle of the road.
