Chapter 1437: Going and Returning

Early the next morning, the Washington Post prominently reported the incident on its front page, and the Watergate scandal began to be known in all quarters.

“Secretary General, have you heard? The U.S. election has a program.” Makins was also well-informed and had already heard about the Watergate scandal in the United States.

“Makins, let’s talk about the next generation of the main battle tank program.” Allen Wilson reminded his buddy that he’d better get to the point quickly, this is where it’s at, it’s just getting started.

Nixon as the incumbent president, want to pressure for a period of time is not a problem at all, to know in the election of the country inside the U.S. president’s power can be called the largest in the free world, there is a saying called the emperor with a term of office.

If it is really like the current reports, it is impossible to pull Nixon down, the reports are the tip of the iceberg, Nixon’s campaign team had planned a series of political plots against political opponents, including including the planting of spies to opponents and other scandals.

When Nixon learned that the captured burglars had been involved in his own political plots, in order to prevent these political scandals from coming to light, he repeatedly ordered his legal counsel, Dean, to pressure the burglars and promised to compensate them later.

Watergate only served as a lead-in, not the whole story, and if this is all that was reported on the surface, it wasn’t enough to get Nixon out of office.

Eat melon also eat a little too early, there will be plenty of time to eat later, now the first thing to take care of the United Kingdom, such as the renewal of the armored forces in Europe, which is something that will kill, the Soviet Union that tens of thousands of tanks in Eastern Europe a put, who see who is not confused?

To say that the Watergate scandal Britain can use anything, it is not possible to do something to the United States, but if you think differently? For example, to a major country directed at the export of conspiracy theories, Nixon is because of détente, was pulled down by internal and external political enemies, but not impossible.

This kind of thing when it comes down to it, it still needs a person who has studied both the East and the West and combines the merits of both ideas to operate.

It is still too early, how about talking about the matter of the main battle tank, the tender for the shield ship has already begun, Pamela Mountbatten is recently following up on the affairs of its shipyards, ready to get a share of this round of the Royal Navy’s big order, the problems of the sea and the air have been solved, and now it is just a matter of the change of the main battle tank.

It can be said that during the Cold War, the tanks on this side of the free world were very distinctive, and the UK just kept piling on the weight, making strides towards the bright path of the Iron Bastard.

But to think that Britain is extremely failing in tanks, that is certainly not put my traditional army powerhouse France in the eyes, Britain’s tanks are iron king eight, France is the diametrically opposite route.

The amx-13 light tank was the first generation of tanks developed by France after the Second World War, fitted with an automatic loader, making it the first tank that could automatically fill its shells. With a swing turret, a seventy-five millimeter gun, and powered by a two hundred and fifty horsepower gasoline engine, it was compact and maneuverable.

The tank was lightweight and thinly armored, and compared to the other star tanks of the time, the amx-13 tank’s protection and firepower were not at all comparable to those of its contemporaries, except for its better maneuverability.

With a full weight of fifteen tons and a seventy-five millimeter main gun, this is a tank that can be considered if someday a reputable India feels up to it again and wants to compete on the roof of the world.

In the late fifties, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy intended to jointly develop a new generation of main-station tanks, but then the requirements of the three did not coincide, and they eventually went their separate ways, each developing its own main battle tank.

So the 36-ton amx-30 main battle tank came out, inherited the characteristics of the previous generation and carried forward, superior mobility, as well as better than nothing protection.

As for the Federal Republic of Germany is now using the Leopard 1 main battle tanks, is only a little bit more than the French army equipment to strengthen it, the hope of the European ground forces is really in the United Kingdom, the traditional maritime power, the British chief of the European free sky, as for the German and French pair of difficult brothers, do not mention it.

The European side is such a situation, as for the hegemony of the free world, the United States, is still using the Patton change change change, once upon a time, who can think of the British Empire will be in the field of tanks, in the free world among the proud to stand up their chests, and now Chobham armor has come out, that should be even more to stand up their chests.

Makins, who has a heavy responsibility, immediately agreed, saying that the Ministry of Defense will immediately follow up and come up with a practical plan.

“I also hope that our shield ship construction can be a bit faster, especially in terms of hull construction. As a traditional shipbuilding country, we don’t want to compare our efficiency with the United States, which has almost no civilian shipbuilding industry.” Alan Wilson mused, mentioning the shipbuilding program again.

When Makins left, the Supreme Authority moved with a thoughtful demeanor, mentally calculating, the current equipment turnover of the British Army and Navy.

Air Force Typhoon fighter construction has begun, the Navy’s shield ship is also under construction, if the construction of a new generation of main battle tanks smoothly, at least within twenty years, or even longer Britain can wait a little bit of time for the people in the military.

Typhoon fighter prototype American Eagle service to the twenty-first century no problem at all, Tiger helicopter gunships prototype Apache is also the same, tanks this platform in the third generation of main battle tanks, but also to the bottleneck, the only may need to iterate on only the Royal Navy, I have to say, a hundred years of the Navy’s other meaning is indeed true to its name, and really burn money.

Theoretically warships can be done in the existing technology to continue to enlarge, like the United States aircraft carriers are not theoretically the largest, that is in order to pass through the Panama Canal to make sacrifices.

Aircraft carriers can be as large as 200,000 tons, and in fact the United States has demonstrated a 150,000-ton heavy aircraft carrier.

It is precisely because of this possibility of continuous enlargement that the navy is a service that requires continuous investment, and the shield ship is instead the first weapon system to be replaced in the future British Army, Navy and Air Force.

Because the richest woman was holding a meeting at the shipyard, Alan Wilson took the opportunity to come to Monroe to criticize the Watergate scandal in the United States and expose the hypocritical political ecology of the United States.

“Are you criticizing America’s political ecology? If I didn’t see that you are so attached to all those poor people in Bangladesh, I would suspect that you are similar to those politicians.” Monroe was half lying beside the man, feeling the warm palm rubbing against her chest, and muttering defiantly under her breath.

“There are too many suffering people in this world, and I always feel that my ability is limited and I can do too little.” Alan Wilson is a did not see outside, a for the vast third world exhausting tone said, in front of Monroe have to say these contents, three days ago in Hepburn that, he is not at all this kind of tone, talk about poetry and faraway places ……

The supreme authority of the complete conscience, Bangladesh that kind of situation, someone cares about is God manifested, still care what the purpose in the end is noble or despicable?

If he hadn’t been in a short period of reconstruction needing a hand, Bangladesh would have had to slow down for twenty years because of this war.

Now that Rahman is back in Dhaka, he is claiming that he wants to establish socialism on the Labor Party model, and his hard work to benefit Bangladeshi society has not been wasted.

“I know you’ve gone to a lot of trouble.” Monroe took the initiative to kiss the Supreme Authority on the mouth as a way to sweeten the deal for a man on equal footing with his husband, “Are you satisfied now?”

“Seems a little short of it.” Alan Wilson felt it for a moment, inflecting the initial statement of a little more and I’ll hold my own.

Alan Wilson went back to running the country on his own, in lieu of the Prime Minister, focusing on places including, but not limited to, the Rhodesian Civil War, guerrilla warfare in Portuguese Africa, economic indicators in Malaya, reconstruction of Bangladesh, Commonwealth unity, and so on.

By the way, taking a bite out of the Watergate scandal, public opinion in the US is currently smooth, and perhaps just not in ferment, with Nixon having the trust of the Republican Party and not having the impact of that one isolated incident.

From the past two months of public opinion can be seen, the American public still maintains the trust of Nixon, even the Americans do not care, then other countries even less will care. Even the Soviet side of the feverish speculation for a period of time also felt uninteresting, gradually reduced the heat.

A day to benefit society and benefit and wife equal status ladies Alan Wilson, at this time is listening to Wick report, about the Paris Coordinating Committee on the exchange.

“It’s a thousand times harder to produce any results, that’s the way it is with organizations that involve many member states, each talking in their own way and scattered.” Alan Wilson sighed, “In fact, in the past few years, many countries have secretly violated the rules inside, when we do not know? Which country’s machine tool imports from the Soviet Union are clean?”

The Soviet Union, which is being mentioned, is also having a conversation, KGB headquarters on Lubyanka Square, Alexeyev holding an intelligence assessment from the Directorate General of Domestic Defense Intelligence about a possible reduction in grain production this year, “This is a really big problem. I was previously attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I may still be able to play a small role in this matter of purchasing grain.”

“The grain purchases a few years ago, we operated through the British side.” Andropov nodded in agreement, “Right now there are a few big grain merchants around the world, three in the United States and one each in Britain and France. It’s best not to alarm the Americans if it’s not the most critical time.”

“I am resolute in accomplishing my mission.” Alexeyev nodded his head, which was ready to just go to Department XII to get his identity back, Department XII of the Directorate General of Foreign Intelligence is specialized in creating identities for use abroad, he previously went to the UK to attach himself to the UK was using a fake identity, since he was going to the UK again, it was natural that he should get his identity back.

This is again involved in a transaction of several hundred tons of gold, Alexeyev of course is not willing to do so, but more than 200 million Soviets to eat the problem here, he is not willing to also can not.

Alan Wilson also did not expect, his good big son actually came back so quickly, as if it is also only the past half a year.
