Chapter 909 The Missile Race

“Ever since the Lend-Lease Act British multinational industry and being hit hard by the US. I’ve come to realize that the really rich have become these aristocrats again. But they are not without threats, such as the high inheritance tax.” Alan Wilson has only just met with the 14th heir to the Duke of Hamilton.

Roberts, the Commissioner of the Nigerian Autonomous Territories, nodded his head in deep thought, “I didn’t realize they were so powerful.”

“The Duke of Hamilton is the first family of Scotland. You’ll understand when you think about where North Sea Oil is. Even though North Sea Oil has nothing to do with Duke Hamilton, he must feel it more deeply than other families.”

Alan Wilson spread his hands at his colleague, “The wealth of the great nobility mainly comes from land, land they can’t take with them, but are always looking for opportunities to find places to invest the liquidity in their hands.”

That’s why the tax havens in Newfoundland can only solve part of the problem for the nobles.

No one can move land out of these family names, and as long as these nobles don’t sell their land, they won’t be exempt from the inheritance tax cut, but it’s just a matter of time.

This point Pamela Mountbatten took advantage of, people are inherited hundreds of years of old nobles, Mountbatten rise has been too late, or to the time of General Mountbatten only through marriage has accumulated, not necessarily fall to Pamela Mountbatten the youngest daughter.

It took the absence of the constraints of land and the bailiwick of Allen Wilson to create such a path to wealth.

Now, in the eyes of these hundreds of years old aristocrats, Pamela Mountbatten just used a few years to complete the accumulation of their times beyond the impact, this impact, in the hearing of the Gulf of Guinea has the potential of the second Persian Gulf, completely exploded.

If oil did not exist in the Gulf of Guinea, these great nobles really had the heart to eat Allen Wilson alive. The aristocratic forces bound together by Pamela Mountbatten would also have cracked.

But Allen Wilson knows that it is only a little late, oil exploration took a few years, in terms of the cycle is very normal, if these local big nobles are in a hurry, it is completely by Pamela Mountbatten to feed the appetite.

The road to success is different in each case, which is so simple to copy out a bunch of Mountbatten Group.

“Forty-eight million pounds, I think with the funds from the Nigerian Autonomous Territories themselves, and the policies we’ve put in place. It should be enough.”

Cigar-chomping Alan Wilson and Roberts strolled around the former Lagos Governor’s Mansion, “In terms of tapping into potential, bartering can be done if necessary, money can’t solve everything. Especially for backward areas, if it is not yet possible, after the war, Britain has also implemented a rationing system, issued some food stamps to minimize consumption to me, and all the excess agricultural products are pulled to Europe for sale.”

“The implementation of food purchase and marketing policy, including food program purchase policy, food program supply policy,”

Roberts was enlightened after hearing this and exclaimed, “Good idea, then can we extend this kind of notes to all aspects, not just limited to food. Through these notes, grasp the economic pulse of the autonomous territory.”

“Roberts, your talent can be more than just a commissioner of the autonomous territory.” Allen Wilson hemmed and hawed, then emphasized, “This means, however, can only be used in times when the foundation is very poor, and can’t be used as a regular means.”

At this time, Allen Wilson did not know that he transplanted food stamps to Nigeria, and until his life came to an end, the stamps did not disappear from the Nigerian territory.

Negotiations with the representatives of the nobility, the delineation of the exploration area naturally had Moore-Loston to worry about, and it was not good for Allen Wilson, an official, to interfere, although it was a well-known fact that he was clean in both sleeves, but he should also avoid suspicion.

He can only do the work of mobilizing public opinion, positioning the development of the Niger Delta as the foundation of Nigeria’s strength, turning over and transferring to strengthen the steel seal of thought.

Goebbels said a lie repeated a thousand times is the truth, who doesn’t understand such a simple truth? It’s just that it’s only the German kind of thugs who act like they’ve discovered some unassailable truth and still say it outright.

The hegemony of public opinion is extremely important to guide, Alan Wilson is convinced that this is not only useful to the living, and even useful to the dead, Chinese history, bullying orphans and widows usurping the throne of power among the ministers, who is the most excessive? The Sima family, Yang Jian or Zhao Kuangyin?

In fact, it was precisely the father and son of Yang Jian who had a pretty good reputation in later times. Long before Yang Guang ascended to the throne, his father Yang Jian had already slaughtered all the meritorious ministers who had supported his usurpation, and he also massacred the world-famous mega-cities of Yecheng and Jiankang during the suppression of the old ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the attack on the Southern Chen Dynasty.

Yang Jian’s killing in the process of usurpation was more powerful than Sima family, but the difficulty of unifying the world was easier than that of the two countries of Wu and Shu faced by the Jin Dynasty, and the successful usurpation of the throne immediately after the cleansing of the supporters was even more resolute than that of Emperor Hongwu, and in the traditional understanding of Yang Jian’s evaluation is the lowest of all the usurpers.

But in later times, the reputation of Yang Jian’s father and son was much stronger than that of the Sima family, and the fundamental reason was that after the collapse of the Jin dynasty, it really collapsed. And after the Sui dynasty collapsed, there was Li Shimin who came out and cleaned up the mess, held off the Turk’s attempts to move south, and pushed back into the steppe.

If a figure like Li Shimin didn’t exist, and the Turkic southward movement was successful? Yang Jian’s father and son’s evaluation would have thrown off the Sima family by a dimension, which is why it’s so important to have someone to clean up the mess.

Alan Wilson’s role now is to catch and clean up the mess at the sunset moment of the Sunset Empire. He’s claiming a second Persian Gulf was discovered when there wasn’t a drop of oil in the Gulf of Guinea, and that’s for the greater good.

The so-called flip-flopping, which Hedy Lamarr saw clearly when she accompanied the man, exclaimed, “Germany really doesn’t seem to be a match for Britain, and it wasn’t a bad loss.”

“Oh, it’s been ten years since the war ended and you’re just now recognizing what anyone knows.” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but laugh out, “Germany’s power is not as good as any of Britain, America or the Soviet Union, and it’s already a miracle that it was able to fight like that. Whether it was WWI or WWII, Germany was bound to lose.”

If Churchill hadn’t used two battleships to bring Imperial Russia to its knees, and Imperial Russia had a steady stream of foreign aid, Germany would not have lasted four years in WWI. As for WWII Germany, the national strength was actually inferior to that of WWI Germany.

“Well, I know you love your country.” Hedy Lamarr glanced at Alan Wilson and muttered in an unkind manner.

“You can talk too, you can be patriotic.” Alan Wilson took Hedy Lamarr’s hand, “Now then, I’d like to invite the big star who’s given up the ghost to take a rocket ride.”

Hedy Lamarr’s eyes seemed to be dripping with water as she whispered meaningfully, “Even a rocket with more thrust will be swallowed by a black hole.”

The Imperial Commissioner did not believe this, how could the crystallization of human intelligence be swallowed by a district black hole.

“Snap …… “The command center of the Wumaila launch site, regarding the successful test firing of the five thousand five hundred kilometer Blue Light Missile, caused everyone in the command center to fall into a sea of joy.

Turing, the owner of the data computing center, also wore a pleased smile, waiting until the researchers in the data center had calmed down a little, Turing spoke, “The project is still far from being a success, under the existing conditions, the Blue Light Missile can’t be in a simple amplification.”

Turing made a report on the success of the Blue Light Missile’s five thousand five hundred kilometers range experimental project, informing the Governor-General of Australia and Alan Wilson who was far away in Africa, and also indicating his own misgivings. If the enlargement was continued under the existing conditions, the engine of the Blue Light Missile might not be able to cope with the huge projectile, and the chance of failure would be greatly increased.

“Either we replace the engine, or we can only think of a solution on the fuel.” Alan Wilson muttered.

Fuel, solid fuel and liquid fuel have different benefits, solid propellant missiles are simple in structure, small in size, good maintenance, high reliability, fast operational response, less safeguards and auxiliary equipment, and from a combat point of view, it is obvious that its technical and tactical performance is considerably better than that of liquid propellant missiles.

Of course, this does not mean that liquid propellant is useless, it also has advantages, and did not exit the stage of history. For example, the liquid rocket engine can be started and shut down at will, the thrust can be adjusted to accurately control the shutdown time.

This feature is very important for the mother capsule of the guided multiple warheads, because when it releases the warheads, the end booster rocket engine has to start up and shut down constantly, so liquid propellant must be used. In addition, liquid rocket motors have high thrust and are more suitable for heavy ICBMs with large payloads.

Like a nuclear submarine platform, it is very suitable for solid fuel missiles, the problem is that the United Kingdom is now, the research on solid fuel is almost none, that can only count on Rollo’s rocket engine breakthrough.

At the same time, 10,000 miles away from the U.S. White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico, the Pentagon’s many generals have arrived at the command center, which is the first test of the Cosmonaut strategic missiles, in the United Kingdom’s successful news of the test-firing of the blue missile in the context of the U.S. to give high hopes to the intercontinental missiles, if successfully launched, it will be of great significance, the entire launch site are full of anticipation.

The range of the Cosmos strategic missile is almost twice as long as that of the Blue Light missile, and once it succeeds, it will leave the UK far behind and quickly erase the gap between the USSR and the USSR in the field of intercontinental missiles.

Accompanied by the countdown of the mechanical tone, the entire White Sand Test Site held their breath, a heart in their throats.

At the end of the countdown, the Cosmonaut Strategic Missile poured out its tail flame on the launching pad and finally lifted off the ground a little bit.

But before people could start celebrating, the Cosmonaut Strategic Missile, which was not completely detached from the launch pad, slammed directly into the pad and exploded, with flames and smoke raging, and a huge noise that made everyone’s ears rumble.

The first launch of America’s first intercontinental missile, failed.

“Continue the experiment, improve as you go.” The White Sands launch site immediately got the Pentagon’s attitude.
