Chapter 774 Nautilus nuclear submarine
A group of people from the American Embassy, including the Marines were all mushy, the Marines were definitely in dereliction of their duties if this incident was pursued today, but who would have thought that a group of cars with British flags would come in to do this?
Even when Allen Wilson came in, the marines saluted him, only to come in to beat up Americans.
“Mr. Wilson, General Navarre is looking for you, I didn’t expect you to be here.” The French gendarmerie captain who came here, opened his mouth to clear the responsibility of France, your British and American own affairs, our French gendarmerie is just a witness, did not participate at all.
“General Navarre?” Alan Wilson had a face of ignorance, never mentioning that he had informed the French commander before he came, and took his breath away before saying, “I’ll be there in a while, today’s matter has made things difficult for General Navarre. But this is an internal conflict in the Free World, it’s good to talk things out.”
“No problem, we’re in the wrong as well.” The American ambassador pushed his eyes a bit to squeeze out a smile and said.
“It was your fault in the first place, even if you run into a local you should treat him with courtesy. I’m just puzzled, Robert is a very gentlemanly man, and Joseph is even a nice person to approach. How is it that some Americans are like that?” Alan Wilson put the blame on the arrogance of the Americans, then greeted, “This matter is settled, I hope that similar misunderstandings will not occur in the future, the hired bodyguards are employees of the Mountbatten Group, and your last name is not Morgan or Rockefeller, so think more about what you do.”
The Imperial Commissioner, with a face of hatred, sprayed saliva at the Americans present before leaving in disinterest.
Waiting for the person to leave, the U.S. Embassy only cursed the bad luck, how to provoke such a person to come in, this loss can only be swallowed.
Allen Wilson in fact does not care much, although he did, but his attitude is not arrogant. In a few years ago, the British embassy in Washington, D.C., the embassy of the United States out of a matter, the embassy of the British diplomat drinking, after the wine crazy to invite the American female guests into the bathroom, as for this person is the Cambridge five McLean.
That time Maclean could have scared the American guest’s wife, and in the end was not punished. What’s more, Allen Wilson was only in a place no one had ever heard of, and the Americans had a more than minor friction, and can’t be compared to McLean who caused trouble in the U.S. capital.
The nature is also completely different, not to mention that the Americans at the embassy have forgiven him, and this matter will end here.
Send the two women back, half an hour later, Allen Wilson has appeared in the French command, in front of General Navarre drinking coffee, as if there was no such thing.
General Navarre was not in such a good frame of mind as Allen Wilson, and asked with a bitter smile, “Such arrogant Americans, you dare to find trouble with them? Just for such a small matter?”
“Aren’t such arrogant Americans thanks to you French? Sending troops to fight with us, England, rather than the king going to the guillotine, but also to help the United States become independent, today, the Americans in this world are so arrogant, really have to thank you.”
Alan Wilson gently blew a mouthful of coffee and took a sip, “I didn’t expect that the Americans came very quickly. Just now I took a casual look, the American Embassy is big enough to fit five hundred people, there are not many people now, I guess the embassy will be filled up soon.”
The U.S. Embassy was present for the Marines, and the more one wanted to intervene, the larger the embassy was. This was true for both the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and when Afghanistan was evacuated in the latter part of the century, there were enough people in just one embassy to keep them busy for a while.
“Don’t talk about things that happened two hundred years ago.” General Nawal was helpless, who knew that when France was just a country that got over to Britain looking for trouble, now it was even starting to point fingers at both Britain and France.
But this can not be helped, two hundred years ago the vision is different from now, the Seven Years’ War, France lost and still feel grateful for being able to fight for the continent of Europe, that the loss of the whole of New France and French India, are not as important as a Belgium.
“But then again, Hanoi is being evacuated next month, and the Royal Navy will have warships there to meet them. Admiral Mountbatten has already made arrangements. I’ve also spoken to Rear Admiral George. Our willingness to be present on such occasions is so that France can withdraw in an orderly and step-by-step fashion and get it all done before we leave.”
It wasn’t just Allen Wilson and Navarre who knew about the operation to completely destroy North Vietnam’s war potential; since the French were willing to be the villains, the matter was all but known to the United States, or at least McCarthy knew about it and was very supportive of it.
In fact even the U.S. Ambassador in South Vietnam has also known, otherwise Allen Wilson introduced himself, on the second secretary a burst of hammer, the U.S. Ambassador will not be indifferent, he also knows that at this time in South Vietnam, there is a Briton and McCarthy MP’s relationship with a close friend, of course come to the Embassy to commit an act of murder, or out of the Mr. Ambassador’s expectations.
Allen Wilson mentioned the assistance of the Royal Navy, is to give General Naval let go of the action of the bottom. He believed that some military preparations, all should be about the same.
General Nawal nodded and indicated that hundreds of targets involving the nation’s war potential had already been developed. Once the withdrawal begins, the French forces in North Vietnam will start destroying them, even livelihood projects are included in them, even utility poles are hated for blasting.
“It’s good to have it on file, it’s not too late, is it? This is something the US is fine with anyway.” Allen Wilson was indifferent anyway, although he gave advice, it was the French who carried it out, and the responsibility was of course the French’s, not his.
General Navarre thought to himself, America has no problem with a Brit who went to the American Embassy to beat up someone, who else could it have a problem with?
Return to live in the villa, Fei Wenli face anxious look, finally in Alan Wilson’s appearance after the turn to calm, open mouth complained, “How do you so impulsive, is not usually hate a thing out of ten kinds of filing it? This time how directly rushed to the U.S. Embassy to go?”
“If I can’t even keep your company’s star, will I still have the face to appear in front of you later?” Reaching out and touching the face of the Great British Treasure, Alan Wilson softly consoled, “It’s nothing, it’s within my capabilities. A second secretary, did the reply to Joseph go out?”
“Mr. Wilson, thank you.” Natsume and Yachigusa Kaoru opened their mouths to express their gratitude, especially the latter, as a Japanese, Yachigusa Kaoru was well aware of how bad Americans were usually to be messed with, and the fact that Japan was under the occupation of the United States.
Yachigusa Kaoru had to admit that this British official was very much like a hero today, saving a weak woman.
“You two are stars that Vivian is very optimistic about, your future development will definitely be very good.” Allen Wilson an old double standard, immediately piled up and pleasant smile, I have to say, two different nationalities of actresses, at this time is in the best stage of life, and this stage has just begun.
If it were not for Vivien Lei’s presence, Alan Wilson might have had to say a few more words, but now it could only go so far, “Where’s General Mountbatten’s telegram, I remember I haven’t read it yet.”
“I’ll get it for you!” Vivien Lei immediately rushed upstairs to fetch it, and then came down to hear Allen Wilson talking about the big idea, what British Malaya’s theater establishment plan, and Japan should properly cooperate in culture in the future or something.
This thing Feiwenli also know, not only is the theater plan, Alan Wilson also wants to establish a television station to Feiwenli operation, even the name have thought of a good, called the Emperor TV.
Unfulfilled Bibi finished, Alan Wilson must see what the father-in-law’s telegram, as for Fei Wenli went to prepare the evening’s food, just like a good wife and mother.
“The Nautilus? The world’s first nuclear submarine?” Alan Wilson saw General Mountbatten’s telegram, and said that his father-in-law is still very concerned about the trend of naval development, only that General Mountbatten’s personality is the same as the United Kingdom, and bullish projects fail most of the time, but certainly does not include nuclear submarines.
Britain also has a nuclear submarine project, but the current biggest problem is that the nuclear reactor is slow to break through. I have to say, now the United Kingdom is really not a sunset, even take the navy are very not on the trend.
In fact, early in the field of nuclear submarines, Britain and the United States also do together, in 1948, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Navy jointly announced the decision to build nuclear submarines. But the last thing we all know, the United States even the Manhattan Project has signed an agreement can backtrack, the plan to jointly build nuclear submarines is naturally fruitless.
Nautilus nuclear submarine was launched in January this year, Nautilus by the then President Dwight Eisenhower’s wife Mamie Eisenhower threw the bottle christening, mankind’s first nuclear submarine in tens of thousands of spectators cheered in the water into the Thames. The Nautilus was fully completed by the end of the year, after all the hard work that went into building it, at a cost of fifty-five million dollars.
Listening to Admiral Mountbatten, the Nautilus nuclear submarine will soon be commissioned, and the Navy Department is very interested in the U.S. nuclear submarine and wants to try to learn from it.
As for why General Mountbatten knew, because the man leading the U.S. Navy’s nuclear power program, Admiral Hyman George Rickover, was a close friend of Mountbatten.
After reading it, Allen Wilson called his father-in-law back, stating that nuclear submarines were indeed a way forward and cheering his father-in-law’s foresight.
But his cheer was limited to nuclear submarines, nuclear power is a very urgent need for submarines. But surface ships are not urgently needed, even aircraft carriers, do not necessarily have to pursue nuclear power.
The reason why the U.S. has nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is because the U.S. once pursued a fully nuclear-powered fleet, but in the end it failed, and nuclear power for small and medium-sized warships did not pay for itself, and nuclear power for aircraft carriers is a legacy.
