Chapter 864 Martin Luther King Jr.

By now, the British Eagle-class carriers before the aircraft carriers are useless, the Eagle-class, as well as the Queen-class that has just been commissioned, are in the direction of the mainland and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively, the Glory-class is in the Pacific Fleet, and the Grudge-class carriers have not been decommissioned, all of which are a result of the United Kingdom getting out of debt.

After the two Queen class service, two grudge class already low conversion possibility greatly reduced, there was a theoretical possibility, now not even a theoretical possibility.

The fact that they did not disappear from the Royal Navy’s lineup was all due to the efforts of First Sea Lord Mountbatten.

Because of the Australian arms sale, it is possible that the Grudge Class would not have been decommissioned so soon, but it was essentially in a state of inactivity.

Britain has been selling aircraft carriers after the war, but because of technological advances, the stock is depreciating at the speed of light, if the development of carrier aircraft is not so fast, there is still a need to keep these aircraft carriers, but now in the state of chicken ribs.

If given the chance, Britain would love to get rid of these burdens to make the Royal Navy a healthier configuration.

Of all the various endings for aircraft carriers, decommissioning and sequestration, which is the most costly method, creates no value, and costs money to maintain.

Taking advantage of the fact that France was now in demand, Alan Wilson told his wife to quickly broker the arms sale and dump the burden on France. And for France, the Grievance-class carriers were needed. France’s support for the Algerian War did require the presence of the Grudge Class.

This time back to London, Pamela Mountbatten also set up a city planning team, employing teachers to Malaya to develop the purpose of the education industry, ran into the circle of the United States of Europe is an accidental gain, should take the opportunity to take advantage of the negotiations to the grudge level of this burden to be thrown out.

“One last thing, a black leader in the United States named Martin Luther King is launching a movement to resist segregation. This is something the Australians should be concerned about.”

Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help but chuckle and picked up the phone, “Marina, inform the Australian newspapers to report on the black boycott movement in the U.S. Do some smart reporting and add pessimism about the future of the U.S. into the mix, but don’t be too obvious about it.”

“I’ll contact Perth immediately.” Marina’s voice came from the middle of the microphone, and after two sentences of repartee the phone hung up.

Australia’s founding policy was the White Australia Policy, and so far it was firmly in place.

But the United States is different, the peak of white America is after two world wars, white Europeans immigrated to the United States, in 1945, the white population of the United States reached the peak of ninety-two percent, five years ago, that is, ninety-five years, it became ninety percent.

It is now the end of nineteen fifty-five, and the baby boom is not yet over, so the percentage of the population will not change drastically anytime soon. But all it takes is one percent to fall off, and Pamela Mountbatten can get the controlled Australian media to report it in a sky-rocketing fashion.

Singing America’s praises in Australia with other areas doesn’t work, but singing praises with racial issues definitely does, and the root of this is still in the White Australia policy, which combines the increase in the black population in the United States with a sense of unease in the hearts of Australians, and strengthens Australia’s resolve to have its foot in both boats.

Martin Luther King Jr, the American pioneer of affirmative action, from this day on, in the isolated overseas Australia, received more attention than in the United States, the different racial growth trends and fertility rate comparisons, also began to become the talk of the dinner table in Australia.

All of this Allen Wilson is deep in the trenches, and he’s still sweating over the two-child program. Celebrating the births of Hedy Lamarr and Vivien Leigh, he’s busy as hell, and his days are more fulfilling than he knows what to do with.

And far away in Paris, Pamela Mountbatten worked as a saleswoman, constantly pitching the Grudge Class aircraft carrier toward Sylvia Bodini, wife of the President of the Council of the United States of Europe.

“Madame, you misunderstand, when it comes to France’s general policy, who are we to get involved?” Sylvia Bodini gave a forced laugh, indicating that she was not in a position to do so.

“I just want Mr. Monet to help, it’s not like I don’t have connections in Paris. But there is no certainty that it will pass at once.” Pamela Mountbatten said with a reserved smile, “This military sale is actually very simple, the British Royal Navy is oversized, while France, on the contrary, has somewhat insufficient naval power for cross-sea operations, of course, the Mediterranean Sea has the Royal Mediterranean Fleet to help out, but we can’t always help out, can we?”

The Algerian war is a top priority for current France, if Sylvia Bordini says that France doesn’t care, that’s an absolute lie, there are now 600,000 French soldiers in Algeria, and maybe more, the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of the importance of a glance can be seen.

When Sylvia Bodini was still hesitating, Pamela Mountbatten continued, “The unity of Britain and France is the foundation of European stability, and although Britain has accused France of colonial policy on a number of occasions, it is actually supportive. But European economic integration? The issue is a bit more complicated, and of course we want to feel France’s goodwill. If France is willing to help, my father will definitely express his gratitude, and the British side is definitely not a problem.”

“Britain is willing to support integration?” Sylvia Bodini hurriedly pressed after hearing this.

“One can only say that the probability increases, how can anything in this world be one hundred percent?” Pamela Mountbatten replied with a smile, “Of course during the formal negotiations, the UK may still add some conditions, but I’m willing to campaign for this, provided that Mr. Monet releases some goodwill.”

Pamela Mountbatten still expressed her conditional support, European economic integration would definitely let the UK nod its head because of a single arms sale, once the formal negotiations started, the UK would definitely have other conditions, but that would be later.

The Mediterranean Sea, even if it is calm, it is still the sea, the logistics of the six hundred thousand French troops, to a large extent, need the support of the French mainland, the Royal Navy can not always help for nothing, but is willing to provide two 30,000 tons of aircraft carriers as a backup program, for France is still good.

Once Sylvia Bodini left, she relayed Pamela Mountbatten’s words to her husband, who was twenty years older.

“It’s not really a disadvantage, France really needs to protect the supplies of the soldiers on the front line while cutting off the support of other countries to the resistance.” Monet asked his wife after a long moment of consideration, “She said that there would be absolutely no obstacles on the British side to the sale of the aircraft carriers as long as we could take care of the Paris side?”

“That’s what she said, mentioning that General Mountbatten would be happy to see an arms sale concluded and that the price might not be as high as one might think.” Sylvia Bodini replied immediately, “It seems that the two countries can still easily agree, at least on the colonization issue.”

“Invite Schumann for me and let’s talk about this.” Monet made a snap decision and decided to seize this opportunity. France really needed it anyway, and wasn’t losing out on this issue of arms sales.

Monet didn’t just care about national issues, rushed to his wife and asked, “It seems like you’ve been at home for the past few days, why don’t you go out and walk around.”

“Ingrid and Heidi are supposedly on vacation in Asia. Only Greta is presiding over the movie studio side, she basically doesn’t show up much, and I don’t have anywhere to go.” Sylvia Bodini sighed, “What’s there to play for over there.”

Why there isn’t, the Imperial Commissioner is getting deflated from all the fun, more tired than a buffalo led by a farmer’s uncle.

Since the two domineering female CEOs came to Malaya, he was such a diligent commissioner that he terminated the overtime, not working until two o’clock in the afternoon, and set up a strict time management plan to make the two movie queens experience a home away from home.

Pamela Mountbatten returned to London, while Monet was discussing with Robert Schumann how to make European economic integration supported by the United Kingdom, “To this day in fact, we all understand that although the United Kingdom joined the Coal and Iron Community, the attitude is very conservative.”

“More than that, Britain has used the industrial base of the Commonwealth to dump the European market.” Robert Schumann faced his old friend and did not hide his emotions, “It’s just that at the moment France really does need Britain’s help, and after the war Britain did help France on certain issues, sincerely. Now that the Algerian War is not over, France still has a request from Britain.”

“Yes, the Algerian War, there are quite a lot of supporters, a lot of people flagging their support.” Monet couldn’t help but shake his head when he thought about this war as well, and then mentioned the matter of military sales, “Britain is interested in selling two aircraft carriers, when I talked to the Mountbatten Group earlier, that little girl talked about it.”

In terms of Monet’s age, it is very normal to call Pamela Mountbatten little girl, does not mean that he does not recognize the strength of the Mountbatten Group, Robert Schumann obviously also knows the strength of the Mountbatten Group, “It is hard to imagine that a daughter of an aristocrat who was previously common, only so short a time ago, there is such a large industry, although it was seen with my own eyes, but I still do not quite believe it. ”

“There are indeed some lucky people in this world.” Monet shook his head in disbelief and went straight to the point, “Robert, do you think France will lose out on this arms sale?”

“If it’s those people in Pidur, they can’t wait for the arms sale to be concluded quickly, and the military’s attitude is about the same.” Robert Schumann said without even thinking, “What? We help out too.”

“The Mountbatten Group has an important position in the UK right now, and Mountbatten himself is still an important signature of the British military. If goodwill can be expressed towards European integration, it will save us a lot of work. You are aware that Britain has always been difficult in the diplomatic field, and saving even a year would save enormous costs.”

Monet expressed his attitude, eyeing his old friend, and Robert Schuman did not answer right away before finally saying uncertainly, “Well, I hope this capitalist newcomer can feel our goodwill.”

Meanwhile, back in London, Pamela Mountbatten was mentioning this arms sale to her father, hoping that it would be watertight, Mountbatten was a little unsure, “I don’t know if the Cabinet will recognize it, I’m certainly in favor of it.”

“Now father needs to submit a professional report with little potential for modification, as for the Whitehall side of things, I’ll talk to Frank.” Pamela Mountbatten immediately said, “Alan and Frank are still on good terms.”
