Chapter 530 – Trinity Nuclear Strategy

“Alan, I know it has always been your dream to serve in Malaya.” After the meeting was adjourned, Gerard Edward called out to the next High Commissioner of Malaya and spoke, “Now your dream has come true, congratulations.”

“Gerard, you don’t have any hard feelings in your heart, do you? I don’t deny it and have been working towards it for years.” Alan Wilson replied after a moment of contemplation, “Not out of selfishness though.”

“I understand, and I’m actually very satisfied to be back in Europe!” Gerard Edward shook his head slightly, “And Commissioner to Germany is not an unacceptable position.”

“More than acceptable, it’s simply very important.” Alan Wilson and Gerard Edward walked out of the conference room shoulder-to-shoulder, “The United States has been pushing for the merger of the three occupied territories, and we’ve been finding all sorts of reasons to delay it, partly because of the interests of the British-occupied territories, and partly because we want to slow down the pace of Germany’s recovery, but the Americans are getting more and more pressurized.”

“The situation over in Malaya can’t be said to be stable either. In fact, I’ve been very complicated by the fact that the percentage of Chinese has increased, on the one hand the ethnic balance is really good for holding back, on the other hand now that there’s been a regime change in the north, which is now on the side of the USSR, in the event of the slightest thing going wrong Malaya could be caught in the middle of a full blown civil war, which is a very dangerous deployment.” Gerald Edward similarly said Malaya’s problems were no simpler.

“If it can’t be preserved then a full scale civil war is not unacceptable, I wonder if both sides in the civil war want nukes? As long as they dare to throw them at each other, I’m willing to help them steal them.” Alan Wilson revealed a mouthful of white teeth, “I’m afraid they won’t dare.”

About Malaya’s development plan, Allen Wilson is not disclosed, over the years he reversed the practice of God’s power has been a few fire, immediately began to center around, Prime Minister Aidley’s Socialist Community of Great Britain, extended out of a British Malaya five-year plan.

First of all must get rid of the tin mining industry, the Chinese clampdown policy, the current is to promote exports, who can increase exports, who is his Malaya Commissioner’s friend, he does not care whether the other party is British or Chinese.

This plan also involves the Xiangjiang part, to know China’s largest foreign investment group is not the United States but the United Kingdom, of course, Chang Gong if more than a few years, the United States capital may exceed the British companies, but Chang Gong is not kneeling? The current value of two and a half billion pounds of assets in China, or let the British occupy the first place of foreign investment.

The importance of Xiangjiang is naturally self-evident, what is the concept of two and a half billion pounds of assets? The total amount of oil imported by Britain in the Persian Gulf last year, eighty million pounds. The assets in China are enough for the UK to import oil for three years. Although it is not so simple to convert, but also enough to prove the value of British capital in China.

While making plans, Alan Wilson also made a list of assistants needed, British India has served in the civil service is good, Alisa, Edel’s name are in the list.

Two hours later, Pamela Mountbatten returned home, saw her man busy, directly sitting on the side waiting, “This time you and Mr. de Havilland, what news got.”

“The cabinet has restarted the rocket development program, Mr. de Havilland is interested in the project, but I haven’t given it much thought.” Pamela Mountbatten said knowingly, “You and I were in New Delhi at that time, the post-war rocket program was terminated in 1947 due to financial problems, this time the program was restarted, the point is that I don’t know much about rockets, will it have an impact on the Air Force?”

“Oh?” Alan Wilson put down his pen, crooked his finger at Pamela Mountbatten, made her sit on his lap, and said softly, “Does Mr. de Havilland have the relevant technology?”

“Yes? He was working on rockets during the war.” Pamela Mountbatten replied good-naturedly, “So very interested.”

“Things aren’t settled yet are they? Just say that when you see Secretary Abbott again ……,” Alan Wilson whispered in Pamela Mountbatten’s ear, recounting about the concept of a nuclear trinity strike.

The nuclear trinity, in the field of nuclear weapons, refers to a country’s simultaneous ability to have land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers for all three modes of nuclear strike. When a country possesses the nuclear strike capability of the nuclear trinity, it is tantamount to having a comprehensive nuclear deterrence capability.

Because of the ability to strike back after a first strike, no other country can destroy an opponent’s nuclear strike capability in a single strike without suffering nuclear retaliation.

Although Britain has traditionally relied on the Royal Navy to maintain its position, but the current vigorous development of the air force, and even the emergence of the British Empire’s base manipulation, on the latest technology backward equipment. In fact, this is not entirely true, but the simultaneous service of three kinds of strategic bombers behavior, how is not like the old imperialism can do.

From the service at the same time three kinds of strategic bombers this matter can be seen, the current British is actually very anxious, after the end of World War II, Britain in order to maintain the face of the Sunset Empire, on the one hand, accelerate the development of nuclear weapons, on the one hand, the development of strategic bombers. Among them, Britain even appeared three strategic bombers, that is, “Warrior”, “Victorious”, “Vulcan”, collectively known as “3V” strategic bombers. The “3V” strategic bombers.

At present, the three strategic bombers are in the process of research and development, and will fly in the next two years at the most. Currently, the UK considers the air force as an important force to rely on, on the contrary, missiles and submarines, there is no shadow.

“Remember, this is a life-saving thing, if you can say to convince the defense minister, do not expect to use this kind of thing to make money.” After the face to face, Alan Wilson hugged his fiancée’s body and said, “Aviation and rockets if you catch it, down the road in from other areas to think of ways. But I believe this is a concept that should get the attention of the Secretary of Defense.”

Pamela Mountbatten does not have a shipbuilding industry in her hands, because the current shipbuilding industry is very prosperous, and the United Kingdom previously dealt with the military industrialization, but also no shipbuilding industry.

“The rocket is not to be launched base, but there is no indigenous ah, if so ask me how to explain.” Pamela Mountbatten, by way of example, asked what to do if faced with a rhetorical question.

“Just say Malaya build, I’m going to Malaya before the end of the month to take office.” Alan Wilson lightly patted Pamela Mountbatten’s thigh and said, “Just follow what I say, and you definitely won’t suffer.”

As for rocket technology, if in consideration of space launch bases such facilities, Britain is absolutely not to establish such facilities in the mainland, France later was established in French Guiana, France is also the leader of European space technology.

The UK’s first artificial satellite launch site as it were was in Australia, just as the nuclear weapons test site was placed in Australia.

If possible, the British space center is also best placed in Australia, after all, this aerospace race, Alan Wilson does not want to miss, in the point of view of the United States of Australia, this is also good. As for the nuclear silo, just put it in Malaya.

Allen Wilson guided Pamela Mountbatten to popularize the concept of the Trinity when he met the Secretary of State for Defense. Let the current British air force fever cool down a little. Air power can’t solve all problems!

Not yet in office, Alan Wilson has already issued an executive order in place of Gerald Edward ordering an immediate local census in Malaya. At the same time, he interviewed Norman Brooke to submit a colonial report on the development of Malaya.

“The name Five Year Plan?” Norman Brooke took a look at Alan Wilson’s report and couldn’t help but hesitate, “Although the Prime Minister called for the establishment of the Socialist Community of Great Britain, it is ultimately different from the Soviet Union. The name on that?”

“On the Malayan National Capitalist Five-Year Plan!” Alan Wilson secondly understood the direct name change, “We want to combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism.”

“There is nothing wrong with my side, Alan, about the nuclear weapons test site, I’ve argued your case for you. Of course there is no small amount of opinion in favor of Australia considering the vastness of the land.” Norman Brooke turned the tables and said, “Of course I still think that Malaya is still more appropriate from the point of view of strategic position. And our friends, France, Portugal and Holland, are eagerly looking forward to this. So the matter is settled, and you, as the local administrator, will preside over this nuclear test.”

“I am personally very honored!” Alan Wilson beamed with gratitude, “Almost immediately, I felt energized.”

“As for the plan to transfer the textile industry, I have gone through communication with some colleagues. It has been assessed that the impact on the country is acceptable, and most importantly, European countries are rebuilding, the textile industry as the most basic industrial development route, we have to beware of Germany, France and even Sweden. So the local production potential in Malaya that can be stimulated as a supplement to the home front is not unacceptable.”

Norman Brooke said this softly, “Also recognized is the proposal about your currency reform, the issuance of Asian pounds, and pounds exchange ratio of one to eight, in fact, according to the local standard of living, one to six this exchange ratio is more appropriate, but taking into account the factor of promoting exports, and ultimately set at one to eight.”

“I’ve gotten you almost everything you asked for.” Norman Brooke finally emphasized, “Under these conditions, you must find a way for Malaya to replace the role of the original British India as soon as possible.”

“I promise!” Alan Wilson let out a long breath and could understand that the dream come true brought not all favorable factors.

“Go to Malaya in the assurance, I have to attend a meeting of the Defense Affairs Committee immediately!” Norman Brooke spoke up.

Alan Wilson will be, directly left the cabinet secretary’s office, first to the status and so on used for his wife’s ladies to send a telegram it, tell them that they are going to Malaya to go to the office.
