Chapter 1428 – Prime Minister’s Navy

“This?” It wasn’t the first time Harold Wilson had heard about it, in fact Whitehall had been side-tracking it for some time, but the citizenry was not enthusiastic about the size of the Royal Navy.

Some of the public opinion rhetoric about the declining importance of the navy in this era still exists, and with that in mind, it has forced the government to give the matter more thought in its thinking. Defense Secretary Denis Healey also has his doubts.

“The Cabinet’s concerns are valid, and indeed there is some risk. But yes, the vision of a low-cost future replenishment of the Royal Navy is relatively near out of nowhere. In the military gains are not generally great, naval uselessness theory is very ignorant speech, if the navy is useless, the Soviet Union will not then rise up after the Cuban Missile Crisis, the navy, if it is useless, this time in the Bay of Bengal, how do we intervene in it, is it swim over?”

Alan Wilson said this took out a piece of information, “This is the information we got from East Asia, now temporarily named Brigadier-class destroyer. Even if their country’s finances are very average, they are developing their navy as much as possible.”

Brigandine class according to the standards of the Royal Navy is not advanced, but after all, it is a new product, the prime minister does not understand, Alan Wilson can fictional advanced, although the tonnage is smaller, full load displacement is less than four thousand tons, take out this intelligence just to prove that the trend of naval development.

In fact, a major country to take the route, is still the Soviet Red Navy concentrated anti-ship road, the Soviet Red Navy is a missile cruiser with nuclear submarines, a major country is a missile destroyer with conventional submarines.

The world’s largest submarine force is of course the Soviet Union Red Navy, the second largest submarine force is a certain big country, this is of course the number of statistics, if the distinction between nuclear and conventional power, the United States submarine force is the second largest, from this time to analyze, the People’s Navy should now be in service hundreds of submarines.

“The Royal Pacific Fleet, faced with a smaller Soviet Red Navy of nearly the same configuration, is indeed under pressure. It is important to realize that the mainstay of the Pacific Fleet, for the most part, consists of battleships. Against the World War II submarine force that is no problem, but now the potential enemy in how not considered technologically advanced, but also certainly much more advanced than the Germans.”

On the surface of the world’s top ten navies do not have the figure of a major country, but in fact in terms of tonnage, the people’s navy is not weak.

A submarine even if it is less than two thousand tons, a hundred searches is 200,000 tons. The key outsiders do not know the size of the navy of a major country. It’s like no one knows what North Korea is working on in the latter days.

Although India, a reputable power with carriers sold by the UK, the disadvantage of submarines against surface fleets really doesn’t necessarily happen to an opponent like the Indian Navy. One-on-one that is a disadvantage, dozens of ships to fight the Indian fleet can still be said to be a disadvantage?

Harold Wilson a bewildered face was instilled with a certain big country threat theory, can not believe it, “not so exaggerated, can and the Royal Pacific Fleet against?”

“If the Atlantic Fleet was pulled into East Asia that would naturally be an exaggeration. But the battleships of the Royal Pacific Fleet? Just?” Alan Wilson wanted to say, now the role of the Pacific Fleet in the Royal Navy is probably equal to the garbage heap, the tonnage is commendable, but only the tonnage can be taken, the tonnage is all the battleships to support.

“A new shipbuilding program is inevitable to preserve current British interests. This operation in the Bay of Bengal can be used as an opportunity.” Alan Wilson followed his lead, starting with economic, military, and influence, and anyway, if the Prime Minister didn’t say yes today, he couldn’t say he wouldn’t go away, but he’d certainly be back tomorrow.

“If the United States believes it doesn’t need to secure the flow of goods with its navy, then why keep building ships?” Allen Wilson’s mouth kept than chattering.

“If you’ve already prepared a shipbuilding program, just bring it out.” Harold Wilson had a helpless face, the relationship between the cabinet and Whitehall was not all amicable, on certain issues Whitehall had always been very insistent, but by and large when he, the prime minister, insisted on one thing in particular, Whitehall would also go out of its way to fully cooperate, but it would require some friction.

Since the Prime Minister was so proactive, then according to the previous idea, Alan Wilson sent the plans for a 10,000-ton cruiser and a 5,000-ton destroyer to No. 10 Downing Street. If it was rejected, in exchange for the eight-thousand-ton and four-thousand-ton frigate fleet programs.

Then take the time to cheer the good old son’s trip to Bengal, which was sort of a place where dreams begin, and maybe this was an opportunity to fly high.

Vivienne expressed her dismay at her son’s trip, “You’re the Secretary General of the Cabinet, it’s not just a matter of arranging something, and then you end up sending your own son to a place where a war has just been fought.”

“Can you not ask this kind of question of both wants and wants? You want to be promoted again or you don’t want to contribute? Wasn’t I squatting in New Delhi in the first place.” Alan Wilson said with a serious look.

“You?” Vivien Leigh skimmed her mouth, in front of this man in New Delhi squatting pit, got herself, Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman a number of ladies, now how to say like a big loss in general?

Especially the process of getting the woman herself, not to say the means underhanded, but also can not talk about the bright and righteous, can only say that now the supreme authority of the mannequin, who did not learn from childhood.

Alan Wilson, on the other hand, went straight to the good Dahl for a chat, “When you get to Bengal, you see Sikh troops with cloth wrapped around their heads and bracelets around their wrists, and that’s what the focus is on to buy them off. The Sikhs were the community we relied on heavily during the British Indian period, fifty percent of the officers in the British Indian Army, forty percent of the naval officers, and one-third of the air force officers were Sikhs.”

The relationship between Britain and the Sikhs began in 1857 with the Great Indian Uprising, when Britain had insufficient troops in India, and also had to defend British dependents, and in the face of the Great Indian Uprising, 100,000 Sikh regiments were directly enlisted from the Sikhs and used to suppress the Great Indian Uprising, and from a certain point of view the Sikhs were considered to be accomplices to the British colonial rule.

Alan Wilson believed there was still some incense in the air, after all, Britain still had a Sikh community, and it was not often that a whole group of people were positioned as objects that could be drawn in and given the treatment of the Indian upper class.

“Got it.” David nodded, “I’ll be sure to deal with the local Indian army when I get there and mold an atmosphere of harmony.”

“Leave the diplomatic level to me, the foreign ministry will elaborate that there won’t be a long term military presence, just a restoration of peace in the area, and as for some hardworking and willing workers, the Burmese are not very hardworking in the first place, and Burma’s natural environment isn’t that bad, so it seems inevitable that we’ll have to think of a way out of South Korea. Of course it would be best not to replace Korea.” Alan Wilson said this, “I still have a lot of things to follow up on. There are some issues that have just recently been figured out as well.”

“Which aspects?” David was a little surprised, his old father was quicker to make decisions than others, if the cabinet didn’t agree he was tirelessly persuaded until he reached his goal. It was surprising that there were also questions that could be thought about for so long before an answer came.

“The question of the positioning of the Shannon.” Alan Wilson answered slowly, “You take care of Bengal first, this issue is not something you need to be concerned about at least for the near future.”

The issue of Xiangjiang is a very important issue for the UK, there are huge benefits here, in the UK’s perspective naturally want to retain vested interests. But if it is the financial real estate two projects support, obviously can not hold up, plus these two things are not enough to form a hold.

Only financial and real estate in Hong Kong, to be honest, is not enough to let the empire weigh more, fate depends entirely on the mood of the empire, make a big fuss Britain can not use what force. After all, all the return, even if the United Kingdom before leaving buried dark stakes will not help.

Similar Allen Wilson memory of the result is unacceptable, although both countries are difficult, but obviously long ago is no longer the Sunset Empire of the United Kingdom is the more difficult one.

Once Allen Wilson hoped that Malaya to go TSMC route, but in the current situation, Malaya’s population has not been able to in bear more industry. After all, shipbuilding and automobiles, the two employment of the United Kingdom are divided with Malaya, not to mention the chemical industry, as well as Malaya already have the advantage of the industry, and then add in can not improve anything.

If you go the TSMC route in Xiangjiang, then this development is certainly not the same as the Xiangjiang he remembers, and the consequences are in the bitter a bitter scam island.

This is not a problem, that again is not where Britain’s interests lie, if there is a similar TSMC business in Xiangjiang exists, can bring Xiangjiang more long-lasting prosperity, the United Kingdom in preserving vested interests, can be more long-lasting profit.

With the semiconductor industry in Xiangjiang, become more powerful to the United Kingdom is also favorable, at least by the support of the people of Xiangjiang, and the imperial capital to talk more about how to benefit the problem. Benefit more, Britain can also be divided from inside, think about it is a win-win situation. If this is operated properly, the center core may not even exist.

“Obviously, this kind of high energy consumption and high investment industry is not needed by the people of Fraud Island.” Alan Wilson conducted self-hypnosis, it was quite good for Fraud Island to be a little more original.

The most administratively experienced experts among the civil service group finally set off in the earnest expectation of the supreme authority, wishing them all the best and arriving in Bangladesh to properly benefit society.

The bottom line is to restore order quickly, and later on, the per capita income must be higher than India’s, never mind by how much or even by a pound.

This goal should not be difficult, after the independence of Bangladesh is a single-ethnic single-religion country, there is Britain to protect the national security, hurry up and bury your head in the sand on the line.

When Bangladesh develops, then we can look forward to the second step, spreading a little Big Bengalism and letting India know what a mono-ethnic state will bring to India.

I do not know whether India’s experience of this Indo-Pakistani war has begun, the United Kingdom out of the knife is certainly unexpected, the Indians only prepared a table meal, but came to two tables of people guests, which how to eat?
