Chapter 958 – Shameful Plagiarizer
“Alan, familiar with the work of the Foreign Ministry as well.” Two glasses of wine down, Makins also changed his address from Sir Wilson, to a somewhat more affectionate name, asking about work issues, such as what direction the diplomatic work has been adjusted.
“Concerned about the Falkland problem. Not much else.” Alan Wilson replied half-heartedly.
To say that there were still problems in other areas, after all, it was foreign-related work, for example, Allen Wilson filed the plan to carry out a nuclear strike against a major country. This is very normal, the plan is made does not necessarily have to be implemented, the development of the plan is nothing more than a rainy day.
Just like the United States in World War II also developed a variety of, orange plan to deal with Japan, black plan to deal with Germany, gold plan used to deal with France, red plan used to go to war with the United Kingdom, comprehensive two-color plan, involved in the face of the alliance to go to war, such as Britain and Japan alliance hypothetical combat.
Even Changgong’s artillery party did not let go, specifically formulated a yellow plan and the artillery party to go to war, but also very look down on Changgong.
The most prepared was the White Plan, which was used to deal with riots within the United States, including but not limited to blacks.
Alan Wilson believes that the current world’s militaries, too, have formulated battle plans to deal with their enemies or allies, which are perfectly normal, and it would be abnormal for them not to do so, indicating a dereliction of duty on the part of the military.
Malaya every year to develop and Indonesia war plan, more than Allen Wilson may not be able to take.
The two men said goodbye to each other as soon as they had cleaned their whisky; London was different from the colonies, and Allen Wilson was still quite restrained.
Taking advantage of the Foreign Secretary did not come back, Alan Wilson in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to experience a word, leaving their own time mark, borrowing this free time, and the British commander-in-chief of the three armed forces Mountbatten, exchanged about the time is ripe, the deployment of nuclear weapons in the Malayan colony of the matter.
Previously this matter on Field Marshal Mountbatten, that in the diplomatic field of work is not yet in a position to do so. Now there is no longer this problem, son-in-law has been the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and what problems.
Back when he was Commissioner of the Malayan Colony, he was making preparations for the stockpiling of nuclear weapons in the Malayan Colony. Already the military airfield in Malaya Colony had been refurbished in advance, and even the base for the missile silo had been selected.
“In fact it is about time, the value of the Far East colony is now recognized by the Cabinet.” After knowing his son-in-law’s intention, Mountbatten nodded and said, “Just in time, the Red Beard Tactical Nukes have been successfully developed and widely adapted, both the Navy and Air Force have evaluated them favorably, in fact, the Cabinet has already discussed before, sending forty-eight Red Beard Tactical Nukes to the Malayan Colony for deployment, to protect the colony’s security.”
The Red Beard tactical nukes that Marshal Mountbatten was talking about were also the first nuclear weapons that could be carried and used by naval carrier aircraft.
The platforms on which it could be carried were wide-ranging: from the Air Force’s Canberra and 3V bombers to the Navy’s Marauders, Machete and Sea Mosquito. The bomb uses a mixed uranium-plutonium core, and the whole bomb is 3.66 meters long, 0.71 meters in diameter, and weighs 900 kg. the MK1 has a yield of fifteen thousand tons, and the MK2 has a yield of twenty-five thousand tons.
“It’s not an ICBM, but it’s better than nothing.” Alan Wilson honestly said that he was dissatisfied, how powerful can tactics and weapons be? Getting a few three or four megaton hydrogen bombs is not on the same level as this thing.
But unfortunately, the blue light missile has not been fully developed, this so-called not developed, refers to the part of the range of more than ten thousand kilometers, the reliability is still deficient. Of course, the eight thousand kilometer range of the signal is already reliable.
Just eight thousand kilometers of range is not enough, want to have a threat to the Soviet Union, the range of at least 10,000 kilometers.
And 10,000 kilometers is also a bottom line, if Britain can not prove that can have more than 10,000 kilometers of ICBMs, Australia may also question the old father, people have 10,000 kilometers of range above the ICBM, you do not have?
Cornered to express the idea that the US has them and the UK has to have them too, Field Marshal Mountbatten shook his head in disbelief, “Convincing the Cabinet to deploy nuclear weapons overseas is going to be difficult. With the nuclear submarines currently being built, it will also depend on whether a submarine-launched version of the Blue Light missile will satisfy the Navy.”
“The fate of the British Empire is at stake with this kind of thing, even if it’s close, we have to use our own.” Alan Wilson expounded in a serious manner, “Even if it is a close ally, it cannot be trusted in such matters, who does not know that America’s real idea is that it wants the colonial empire to disintegrate in a hurry, and the sterling area to disappear in a hurry?”
That is, the last vestiges of the old Republican isolationism still existed in Eisenhower, and by the time Eisenhower is out of power and the Republicans and Democrats have completed their reorganization, there won’t be any isolationism left in either party.
Britain’s nuclear submarines are already in the works, and Britain is certainly well aware that nuclear submarines are something to be used to save lives, with advantages that conventional submarines don’t have, and unlike surface warships, the stealth of a nuclear submarine is the biggest threat of all, and that nuclear power is not the same thing as conventional power.
Speaking of which, Alan Wilson had something to say again, suggesting that his father-in-law try to sell the Royal Navy’s conventional submarines to Portugal, “The oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea are causing a lot of money to be spent on developing them, and off Angola is where the oil was first discovered, and now that the government of Salazar has gotten a taste of it, it’s about time.”
British Royal Navy Navy of course, also served in conventional submarines, the German waves during World War II is certainly a big name, but as an old naval power of the Royal Navy, there is also a huge submarine combat force.
To large and medium-sized submarines, the British submarine more distinctive technical design is in the non-pressure-resistant shell arranged additional external torpedo tubes to improve the attack capability.
British submarines in combat mostly dispersed hunting-oriented, the main combat areas in the Norwegian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, especially worth mentioning is that the British submarines have sunk as many as thirty-five enemy submarines, but also created the only time in the Second World War underwater sinking submarines, laying the foundation of the post-war tactics of the underwater attack on the submarine.
It can be said that the British Navy is the only navy that has a clear idea of how nuclear attack submarines should operate. It’s just that without money any thought process is useless, and the U.S. can spend a little more money to figure out the thought process.
“The Royal Navy does have thirteen Tutankhamun-class submarines left, and if the Portuguese government is interested, it’s not impossible to sell them.” Marshal Mountbatten narrowed his eyes and gave his son-in-law the benefit of the doubt, “Of course I know in my heart of hearts that you are seeing the Portuguese government getting rich because of the oil development and helping Salazar to solidify Goa’s security. But it doesn’t matter, selling warships this kind of thing, Britain is not like the United States to preach so much, aircraft carriers can be sold, conventional submarines what can’t be sold?”
Field Marshal Mountbatten is open to the sale of active Royal Navy warships, after World War I Britain sold a lot of battleships. If not for the fact that battleships were now behind the times, it would be their turn to bask in the Malayan colonies?
“I’ll have the ambassador to Portugal talk to the Salazar government, Goa is important after all, to both Portugal and Britain.” Alan Wilson was overjoyed, it was as if his father-in-law had said, carriers are for sale, what’s one more conventional submarine?
The Tutankhamun class submarine was fifteen hundred tons, a fairly advanced model among pre-war submarines. If you do some modifications, you will have no problem serving for twenty years.
The important thing is that it is very suitable for countries like Portugal, the new submarine tonnage, although larger, but not in line with the original intention of the good steel on the knife edge, now the construction cost is not the same as in the beginning, the selling price is naturally not the same.
Now that Britain is building nuclear attack submarines, it’s only right that it sells some of its conventional submarines back to its capital.
“What has Pamela been up to lately? Not coming to see Pamela either!” Marshal Mountbatten also hadn’t seen his daughter for a long time, and now surprisingly asked about his son-in-law who had just returned home.
“With her extensive business, she is indeed quite busy every day.” Alan Wilson didn’t have the heart to say, your daughter is counting on you to lighten her burden by watching her children. But the reason he said was also true, his wife did have a wide range of business, and it took quite a lot of time every day just to read the reports from all over the world.
Leaving Marshal Mountbatten’s office, Alan Wilson wondered if he should inform his wife of his father-in-law’s thoughts. From the perspective of filial piety should do so, but the United Kingdom does not have the so-called filial piety, specific things or specific considerations, can not be generalized, sometimes hasty decisions, will only get the results of things that are not what they want, after a comprehensive consideration, or should be tempted to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to do it.
“Where the daughter is not very good it, but also can accompany the parents.” Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband’s relay, full of laughter out of the powerful, “I am also for the sake of the parents’ life, Pamela to bring some laughter to parents.”
“You’re partially right if you don’t consider the fact that your sister, Patricia, has four children.” Alan Wilson stood from an objective point of view, commented on the two parents’ father bared laughter, and then brought the omelette to his mouth, mmm, not bad ……
Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, “Are you Patricia’s husband? Or my husband, which side are you on?”
Harold Wilson, the Foreign Secretary, was finally going to complete his glorious tour of Egypt and return to the loyal Foreign Office headquarters building.
Alan Wilson, of course, had prepared his heart to rave about the Foreign Secretary’s paltry feats, and walked into the Foreign Office to ask what the pleasure was.
Confronted with his top man’s inquiry, Dixon thought for a moment and said, “There’s a piece of news over in France that the De Gaulle government has set up a new department.”
“What’s so ridiculous about that.” Not wanting to keep commenting, Alan Wilson lit a cigarette.
“The name of the department is the French Commission for the Management of Overseas Assets!” Dixon replied with a flourish.
Coughing …… Allen Wilson felt that the smoke was a bit of a throat ruffler, and while coughing, “I must v. express my strongest opposition with the strongest initial words and phrases. Shameless, despicable, shameful plagiarizer.”
