Chapter 1446: Reverse Military Purchase

“That’s the case, I don’t know if Washington will be displeased.” Foreign Secretary Patrick was still vaguely worried, the United States was after all very important to Britain.

“It shouldn’t be so bad, when it comes to the most core interests, the Americans are also very good at talking. Obviously, the détente strategy is something that Europe should do, and the United States should not oppose it.” Alan Wilson spoke up and replied, “This is a carefully considered decision, even pseudo-democracies like Italy and Japan will preserve their own interests at a given time, let alone Britain.”

Within Whitehall, Italy and Japan are defined as nominal democracies, where elections remain only procedural, and in fact since the institution of 1955, Japan has entered the long era of the LDP, which has ruled continuously in the electoral state until 2009, and the kind of elections in Japan are not as good as the fact that the factions within the LDP make the allocations.

Doesn’t it seem that Japan is very excessive? In fact, what is even more excessive is Italy, and Japan even puts on such a pretense.

In Italy, because the Italian Communist Party is the largest party in Western Europe, the Catholic Democratic Party of Italy does not even pretend to be a party. Does the Catholic Democratic Party have any ruling program? Does the Catholic Democratic Party have any philosophy? There is no philosophy at all, the only philosophy is to gather all the forces except the Italian Communist Party, no matter what you left, center and right, as long as it is not the Italian Communist Party, we are all friends.

If you stand on the opposite side, of course, or Italy can try, Japan that is completely really iron barrel, impossible to be subverted. There’s a real tendency to destabilize, and the US still isn’t quite brave enough to blatantly crack down in Europe, but in Japan it’s a no-brainer.

The Catholic Democrats didn’t have the same cohesion as the LDP, and it took the Soviet Union to become history before the party shattered into pieces and fulfilled its historical mission.

Of course while the Catholic Democrats hated the USSR, they definitely didn’t hate the resources of the USSR, and Italy and France were totally the two biggest leaks in the free world.

Maybe now the Italian government, learning of the signing of the trade agreement between Britain and the Soviet Union, at this point has the, “I feel like I’ve been living in his shadow!” The thought.

In one of the great countries of the Far East, a ship full of arms left port, and soon the news was made known to Whitehall on the radio waves. Delivered to the desk of supreme authority.

“We’re buying arms from them, is that it?” The permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense, Makins, had some difficulty in saying, I, Great Britain, at least, is the world’s number of great powers, even if it is not as good as the United States and the Soviet Union, but also can not buy weapons from a certain great power, not to mention that the United Kingdom itself is an arms exporter.

“Lord, don’t be so stereotypical or others will think that Britain lacks flexibility. What’s wrong with us buying some weapons? It’s not expensive.”

Alan Wilson replied unimpressed, “If we give overly advanced weapons, given the quality of the Arab and Israeli armies, it’s likely to smash the brand of British weapons. And although Britain wants its interests in the Arab world to remain intact, what if there’s a tiny possibility that the Arab countries win? Right?”

“That’s why we have a battle plan for war with Israel centered on a defensive counterattack. Too advanced weapons can’t be sold. And in terms of ground armament, their weapons are cheaper and more widely applicable than ours, and these light weapons, they are the most suitable for the Middle East battlefield.”

Alan Wilson actually didn’t buy anything good, nothing more than three hundred sets of Type 63 107mm lightweight towed rockets.

The main thing is lightweight, this time the order will be landed from Iraq, through Jordan to the Gaza area, the supreme authority in the instructions for use inside the addition of a line, be sure to be placed in residential settlements neighborhoods, to ordinary people’s lives and property as a cover, no thank you, a full-scale war situation this is all should be done.

Combined with the fortified neighborhoods that have been built over the years, it should have an unexpected effect, the side effect is nothing more than the possible death of some innocents in the face of Israeli carpet bombing, but it’s all an inevitable price to pay for the pursuit of freedom, and he’s willing to pay it.

“If there is a scenario of urban guerrilla warfare, we can also see exactly how we should respond, this is all unparalleled experience.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and relieved Makins.

To be able to use other people’s blood to summarize lessons learned, wasn’t that something to be congratulated? Compared to the United States, which had recently begun military aid to Israel again, Britain’s aid was nothing short of restrained. The U.S. allocated three billion dollars while supplementing the armaments of Israel’s three armies at cost, which is a much larger scale than last year’s military aid to Israel.

Compared with the US military aid to Israel, is it too much for Britain to buy some rockets from a big country? Even if Washington were to come to Washington to ask questions, Britain would still be justified.

In the face of Israel’s military aid, Moscow’s reaction is more superficial, but also for Britain’s small actions to make cover, as for the British side of the preparations, but only some of the side of the meaning of the preparations.

For example, British military advisors suggested blocking the Straits of Tiran, sending catamaran missile boats to strike at Israel’s coast, suggesting that Jordan try to cut off the Jordan River so that its waters would no longer flow into Israeli territory, and so on.

This is all harmless advice, and the U.S. Soviet Union began a large amount of aid, not at all a level of support, as for the Soviet Union is not secretly sent the scud short-range ballistic missiles to Syria, that kind of thing how would Britain know, even if it is sent the Soviet Union will keep secret and not admit it.

Even if the mobilization mechanism was activated, it wasn’t to threaten Israel, it was a normal action of a normal country, at least much more peaceful than Syria to the north of Israel is considered to be.

In fact, Britain could well decide when the war will be fought, right at the end of the meeting that announced the diversion of the Jordan River and the blockade of the Straits of Tiran as the consensus of the Arab countries, which will be the flare for the start of the current war in the Middle East, but for now it will have to wait a little longer, to see when Israel is completely ready to do so. Alan Wilson doesn’t expect to destroy Israel, but he doesn’t expect to change the Middle East landscape either.

However, the feudal lords of the Middle East, can still do a little something, Allen Wilson does not want to hide his knowledge in this regard, he still believes that the feudal lords are better than the buyers, Chang Gong has long ago proved that the buyer class in power can do nothing as good as the feudal lords, the Qing dynasty can not do eight years of war only to build out eighty mountain guns of the matter.

There are always people to rival strong for Chang Gong to do defense, this is a big country’s territory, Chang Gong if placed in South Vietnam that kind of small country of more than 100,000 square kilometers, the speed of his failure than the South Vietnamese regime is faster than the four to five million square kilometers of the area of the Cannon Party area only lasted for four years, it is clear that the South Vietnamese than the Chang Gong can be fought much more.

Makins still brought some information on the military strength of Arab countries, so that the top boss has a clear understanding of the military strength of Arab countries. Together with Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Jordan and Iraq, the five countries that may participate in the war, including the Arab these military powers that can be on the stage, a total of eight hundred and seventy-seven million soldiers, six thousand tanks, one thousand four hundred airplanes. They hold, respectively, an eight-to-one, three-to-one, and three-to-one advantage over Israel.

Considering the presence of Yemen, this is surely a greater strength than the Arab coalition in any of the historical Middle East wars. After all, Yemen’s strength was also well known in the Arab world, probably due to the lack of progress in Egypt, the Soviet Union’s emphasis on both Yemen and Syria, and Britain’s careful maintenance of its legacy, created this situation.

Yemen, like Indonesia, are arranged Tu 16 bombers, Tu 16 bombers have begun to retire in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union then in the country has been phased out of the bomber, focusing on the deployment of Yemen, the number of more than sixty, Yemen in the eyes of the Soviet Union, as if the Kingdom of Iraq in the eyes of the United Kingdom a role, focusing on strengthening the Yemeni air force.

“That’s a pretty scary number even if you can only fight a stream of war.” Alan Wilson flipped through the information sent by Makins and felt that the strength of the account was still quite good.

Then now you can wait for the two parties to be ready for war, Allen Wilson does not have to deliberately facilitate anything, he still took the opportunity to solve some specific things, such as cultivating pro-British in Bengal, and even cultivate pro-Malaysia this colony’s goodwill in this matter, the supreme authority at least one said that a paragraph hand, what oil paper bags, sewers, toilet water paragraph all handful of pinch to come.

This kind of paragraph dislike him up to say is not a problem, anyway, most of the Bengali people destined to be impossible to leave the country, some soft spread around can not be confirmed.

Unlike Pamela Mountbatten who had returned to the warmth of Perth, he could only pray to be taken in by the good people, playing the poor man and begging to be taken in by a multitude of ladies of equal status to his wife.

Hepburn was still kind, but Alan Wilson felt that Hepburn had a disadvantage that wasn’t really a disadvantage, in his observation, Hepburn wasn’t resistant to aging, and aged faster than the other ladies of equal status to his wife, Garbo was still very beatable at Hepburn’s age, and as for Hedy Lamarr it was a monster, perfect for some medieval legend of sucking blood to stay young forever.

Feeling the palm on her face, Hepburn immediately responded, “Do you think that I’m starting to get old now.”

“It’s okay, just a little rough skin.” Alan Wilson rubbed Hepburn’s cheeks, and it wasn’t exactly a lie, it was still in pretty good shape compared to the average woman.

“I’m in my forties too.” Hepburn frowned in disbelief and muttered in a small voice, “It’s true that when wrinkles creep up all over your face, it’s as unreadable as most women.”

“Say what? Elegance never goes out of style, my dear.” Alan Wilson professed his loyalty, and he was by no means a fan of the new.

The year had begun as if the whole world seemed to be in the sage time after a violent movement, and it seemed inferior to last year’s coming up with the big Indo-Pakistani war. But Alan Wilson knows that this is all an illusion, as long as one side begins to contract, the international situation will be in the middle of the turmoil, now is just the calm before the storm.
