"It seems that you were the one who took over at the beginning, isn't it, Allen?" Aiden also knew about the whereabouts of the anti-Tito elements after the war, but the Conservative Party soon stepped down, and he has only a limited understanding of what happened next.
"I have almost forgotten what happened more than ten years ago." Alan Wilson thought hard. He seemed to have picked off all these anti-Tito elements and let them board the ship innocently.
Although it was a bit ungentlemanly, the situation in the UK at that time did not allow for poverty and generosity. The Second World War had depleted the UK, and they wanted to grab any money they saw. Seeing as these old men from the previous dynasty still had some savings in the Vatican
For the sake of Britain, Britain decided to be a good guy for once.
To put this matter into detail, Britain was sorry for him and did not even give him a medal.
The past cannot be recalled, the glory is in the past, and now we are talking about the big issue of Northern Rhodesia.
Eden was also weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Simply put, it was a matter of both wanting and wanting. It was necessary to judge the Soviet Union's reaction, but also to be prepared for small moves by the United States. But Eden believed that at least in name, the United States could not do anything to Britain.
It would be unjustifiable if the United States directly stabbed the United States in the back when Britain was fighting the Soviet Union in Africa.
And at least for now, Britain still has deep roots in Africa. With Africa as a battlefield, Britain may not be unable to fight against evil spirits outside the territory.
As for Alan Wilson, he was even more indifferent, not to mention that the United States had no reason to take the opportunity to attack Britain, even if it really launched an attack. He believed that Britain's current national strength would be no problem for a period of time.
Next year will be when the Cuban Missile Crisis breaks out. If we persist until that time, the United States will naturally calmly hold high the banner of unity. Therefore, Eden judged that the risk was not high, and Alan Wilson directly judged that there was no risk.
In principle, the deployment of nuclear weapons overseas should not be widely publicized, so discussions were limited to small circles. However, as the full-time commander of the British military, Field Marshal Mountbatten learned the news immediately.
When Marshal Mountbatten came to your daughter's house, Alan Wilson was holding the latest newspaper, showing his erudition in both China and the West. Today's newspaper mainly contains two main contents, "New and old colonists, get out of Africa..."
…”
"The Sino-Soviet alliance enters its eleventh year..."
There is nothing wrong with these two things appearing separately, but it is very embarrassing to appear in the newspaper on the same day at the same time.
If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, it seems that the rival camps have been blaming each other for more than a year, and now they are entering their eleventh year? Is there something wrong?
"Then what do you think will happen?" Pamela Mountbatten asked softly after hearing her husband's playful teasing.
"It won't matter. Just pretend you didn't hear it." Alan Wilson put down the newspaper. It was hard for him to imagine that Britain would rely on China in African affairs. But if people wanted to shout slogans and oppose colonialism, he would not
Way to gag.
At this moment, Mountbatten, the number one commander-in-chief of the British military, knocked on the door of his daughter's house.
Pamela Mountbatten cheered and warmly welcomed her father's arrival, "I'm going to get some whiskey, dear father."
After cabinet discussions, the British government will temporarily treat the fact that Northern Rhodesia intervened in the Congolese Civil War as unaware of the fact. Whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, it will not proactively inform or admit British involvement. If it is discovered,
Yes, that is local personal behavior and has nothing to do with the UK. Let’s wait and see the direction.
This attitude is external. Marshal Mountbatten is the head of the British military, so it is naturally not within this scope. Moreover, it is impossible to use tactical nuclear bombs to bypass Mountbatten himself.
"You are so brave to give such advice." Marshal Mountbatten shook his head and lamented his son-in-law's boldness.
"This is not the first time. Malaya also has tactical nuclear bombs." Alan Wilson took the initiative to clink glasses with his father-in-law and picked up whiskey. "On the eve of France completely resolving the Algerian problem, if the UK does not do something, maybe it will in the future.
Regret. You can also use this to test the reactions of all parties."
"The most important thing is concealment." Mountbatten nodded tacitly. The Red Beard tactical nuclear bomb is the first nuclear weapon that can be carried and used by naval carrier-based aircraft. Its carrying platform is very wide: from the Air Force's Canberra and 3V bombers, to
The Navy's Marauders, Scimitars and Sea Mosquitoes all work.
Even armed helicopters can be used as weapons platforms. If the UK wants to quietly send nuclear bombs to Northern Rhodesia, which will be difficult for other countries to detect, and it does not require strategic bombers to be stationed in Africa, it can use these nuclear bombs at any time.
Now that a decision has been made, without further delay, it is time to take advantage of the test of the Belfast strategic transport aircraft to transport the tactical nuclear bomb to Northern Rhodesia for the local British garrison to respond.
Mountbatten quickly made a decision and personally took care of this mission. The huge prototype of the Belfast strategic transport aircraft took off from the British Isles and began to serve the empire before it was put into service.
"We in the UK will naturally do our best to create conditions for the peaceful return of Goa. Of course there are difficulties, and Salazar is indeed stubborn, but we always believe that the possibility of peaceful return of Goa exists."
Alan Wilson was full of hypocrisy, and in front of the Indian ambassador, he expressed goodwill to a great power that had a great reputation before the collision.
India is still valuable at present and has enough prestige for Britain to pay attention to it. As for the future? Which toilet paper can wipe the butt twice?
Don't be stingy with your bragging ability in front of India, what is the Asian Century, what is a big country that cannot be ignored. Anyway, it doesn't cost money, Indians like to hear it, and Alan Wilson is also willing to say it.
After all, the Deputy Secretary-General is full of affection for India. It is the place where he worked and fought. If there were more golden temples in India, it would not be impossible for the British to be resurrected directly after World War II.
Washington has been troubled by many things recently, including the failure of the Bay of Pigs operation and the lack of progress on the Iran issue. France's mobilization order and so on. The world has not gone to peace, and the city on the hill still needs to show leadership.
The most critical thing is that the two old rulers who have been judged to be waiting for their end are unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. Especially France, which makes Washington quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, London has announced that when the Dominion of Nigeria officially becomes independent this year, the United Kingdom will express its blessings and establish diplomatic relations as soon as possible. The United Kingdom's awareness of current affairs finally makes the United States breathe a sigh of relief.
However, it didn’t take long for the American observers in Lubumbashi to report the fact that the Northern Rhodesian armed forces were involved in the Congolese civil war to Washington. This was no longer a question of whether the British wanted to hide it. The Americans had all seen it.
"Are these Slavs in the Balkans controlled by Britain?" Kennedy was greatly surprised. How loyal were these Slavs to Britain and why were they there?
Dulles also had a wry smile on his face, "It's a long story, and it starts with General Patton becoming the administrator of Bavaria. At that time, some military voices were very hostile to the Soviet Union, and these Yugoslav anti-Tito armed forces crossed the border and were captured by Patton.
The general took us in, which made us extremely passive at that time..."
"We had no reason to accept these people, so we communicated calmly with the British. We asked the British to accept these people, but the British did not want these people to enter the British mainland, so they chose a colony for these people to live."
"It doesn't matter what happened in the past." Kennedy waved his hands and said, "The problem is that France is restless now, Britain is also joining in the fun, the Soviet Union is eyeing it, and Britain and France are not willing to accept the leadership of the United States."
Britain and France have reached their highest level one after another and directly entered the dark restricted area, which makes the current United States very embarrassed. I don't know if these two countries have discussed it well and actually made moves in Africa together.
The top priority now is to determine whether it is a coincidence or whether there is private communication between Britain and France to act together. Without clarifying this issue, the United States will not be able to make next arrangements.
The inquiry from the United States was naturally based on the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs solemnly declared that the United Kingdom is also investigating the purpose of Northern Rhodesia's intervention in the Congolese Civil War and does not rule out the possibility of local people walking alone.
After the investigation results come out, he will definitely maintain communication with the United States and tell the truth about the matter.
The truth of the matter is that the Red Beard tactical nuclear bomb has arrived, and Alan Wilson is busy working on cooperation with Sweden about the TSR.2 attack aircraft.
The Ministry of Finance is not interested in the TSR.2 attack aircraft project due to cost issues. Is it a good thing for the British military project to advance after this increase in military spending? In name, of course.
Why do you say that in name, won’t an increase in military spending bring more progress? Absolutely not!
If you carefully observe these military projects, you can easily find that after the increase in military expenditures, the costs of these military projects have also magically increased.
The project is still the original project, and it has indeed received support from the Ministry of Finance, but it does not seem to have immediate results in increasing the strength of the British military.
But the TSR.2 attack aircraft project is, after all, a technically advanced project. Alan Wilson decided to find a way to find a way with the Scandinavian countries, especially the Swedes, to see if they were interested.
Sweden has the fourth largest air force in the world, using its powerful air force as a trump card to deter the Soviet Union. However, it is not easy to update an air force with thousands of aircraft, and Sweden also needs help from other countries.
Sweden's requirement for fighter jets must have ground-attack capabilities, so Alan Wilson began to work on the cooperation between the two countries on the TSR.2 attack aircraft, and already had some ideas. The TSR.2 attack aircraft project is indeed technically quite good.
Blushing.
It is also a good platform for throwing tactical nuclear weapons. Sweden has been trying to develop nuclear weapons, and at least it has not given up this effort yet. The TSR.2 attack aircraft is very suitable for this task.
As for whether Sweden will succeed, Alan Wilson is not worried. If it succeeds soon, the United States will definitely fall out before Britain does.
