The TSR.2 attack aircraft jointly developed with Sweden, the Belfast strategic transport aircraft jointly promoted with France, and the joint fighter jet that unites Europe.
In his opinion, now is the time to give full play to the advantages that Britain accumulated in the aviation industry during World War II. As for Germany and Italy, the gap between them and the United Kingdom in the aviation industry is not even a little bit. Taking the initiative to show good will can gain the greatest say.

It would be financially difficult for the UK to pursue so many projects alone, even if there are no problems with the UK's economy...
Weapons are becoming more and more sophisticated, and it is no longer realistic for a country the size of the UK to follow them all. What's more, the UK is now advancing more projects than the UK in Alan Wilson's memory.
Isn't an aircraft carrier a big project? Nuclear submarines are also a big project. This is not an imitation of technology taken from the United States for profit. It is all researched by itself. These costs are borne by the UK itself.
Marshal Mountbatten came out with his son-in-law and watched the last few sealed Titan-class ships unsealed. They will undergo necessary maintenance and improvements, and then they will become big toys for the royal family of the Middle Eastern sheikhs. He felt quite emotional in his heart, "The strongest in the world."
The last trace of the Royal Navy has disappeared."
"The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come, my marshal." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and consoled him intently, "Actually, there's nothing to feel sorry for. It's better to become the Casino Royale of the Emirates or the Water World.
It’s been dismantled. In fact, I believe the Navy is very clear that from any aspect, the Titan-class is really useless, and the Centaur-class can be used for low-intensity tasks.”
"I even sold several islands in Malacca to them. Only in this way can we tie up these small countries that are rich in resources but cannot survive alone in the world."
He is not just good to these small countries. Over the years, he has tried his best to convince the British government that the Kingdom of Egypt cannot become a real power. Even if the Aswan Dam is completed and Egypt completes initial electrification, it will be the same end.
"Your diplomacy is to constantly find communities of interest to bind in monarchical countries." Marshal Mountbatten paused at this point and had to admit, "But it seems to be very useful."
"Thank you, Pamela also helped a lot." Alan Wilson said very modestly, "I am lucky to have such a partner. Every time I think of it, I feel grateful that God has treated me so well. I can only devote myself to
The supreme authority was ruined for the sake of the British Empire."
Mountbatten was noncommittal. The submarine-launched version of the Evil Missile was being assembled. Once the reliability was proven, Britain would speed up the construction of nuclear submarines. The hull has never been a problem for a shipbuilding power like Britain. The problems were with new weapons.
"There is another question, what is the document you asked me to hand over to the Secretary of Defense." Mountbatten had not yet understood the reason for John Profumo's change of attitude, and rationally told him that it was best not to be curious, but Mountbatten had a tailwind.
Shunshui's marshal really couldn't help it.
"Some investigative reports on private life, some clarifications on rumors. Of course, as a defense minister, this matter is still quite important. I will solve this matter immediately." Alan Wilson does not want to sell out the rising star of the Conservative Party.
It is correct to describe John Profumo as a rising star. The Secretary of Defense was born in 1915. Look at the ages of other giants in the current Conservative Party. Eden in 1897, Eden in 1899
Macmillan in four years, Mrs. Huo in 1903, and Rab Butler in 1902.
We know what position John Profumo, who was one of the four ministers of state in 1915, held in the Conservative Party.
In contrast, Harold Wilson of the Labor Party, who he remembered as the Labor Prime Minister who had been in power for a long time in the 1960s and 1970s, was born in 1916.
From a normal perspective, the current Defense Secretary should be the leader of the party with Harold Wilson in the future. Even if he does not become Prime Minister, he is still a solid conservative giant and will shine in the British political arena in the next ten years or so.
It is a pity that such a person is involved in the Soviet espionage case. He should play a greater role.
Therefore, when John Profumo is open to increasing military investment and is willing to gain understanding from the military, he should not continue to treat this gentleman harshly. Of course, the Soviet espionage case will continue to be investigated, but after full balance
Results will not be announced.
Alan Wilson is also planning to use the captured Soviet spies to exchange for the British diplomats who were arrested in connection with the Pinkovsky case, but he will cut off the connection with John Profumo to protect this
Rising star.
Even now, there are many benefits to having such a minister who is concerned about the vital safety of British defense in office. Doesn't this increase the number of new aircraft carriers by one more?
Aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and a series of projects for various military services have been added. You can take your time step by step.
Speaking of which, isn't Alan Wilson trying his best to win over European countries to save costs? If the UK advances on its own, it may cost one hundred pounds. If it wants to win over Germany and Italy, the total cost of wrangling for half a day may soar to two hundred pounds, but it belongs to the UK.
The funds to bear are still less.
At this time, the UK has plenty of time to wait for the European Joint Fighter Aircraft to enter service.
The Iranian oil crisis has come to an end, and the Federal Republic of Germany has obtained the benefits it wants. At this time, the German government urgently needs to repair relations with the United Kingdom. The cold relationship between the two countries is not conducive to European unity.
As for Italy, the last time Alan Wilson went to North Africa, the talks were quite good. He was happy to see Italy helping Britain and maintaining its influence in Libya, an important oil-producing country in Africa.
Italy will not change the plight of pauper imperialism with a world war. Italy's situation is somewhat similar to Japan's, with almost nothing in the country.
At that time, it claimed to be one of the six major powers in Europe, but it could not even fool the Qing Dynasty, which shows its own embarrassment.
Britain is willing to work with Italy to balance France's influence on North African interests, which Italy is also happy to see.
At the year-end European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the foreign ministers of all countries gathered together in Brussels. According to convention, the meeting was divided into two parts, the overseas part and the European part. The former paid more attention to the legitimate interests of countries overseas, mainly countries with colonies, and the latter
The latter is Europe's own business.
Feeling that it was not easy for Hepburn to grow up in the Netherlands, Alan Wilson had a good impression of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and took the opportunity to communicate with the Dutch side about the possibility of independence from the Dutch Guiana gang.
He also handed over the local public opinion polls of British Guiana before and after its independence to the Dutch side, "which means that London is quick to see opportunities, otherwise those people would almost have to rely on Britain."
"France also has this problem. If you don't believe me, your French intelligence department should investigate it carefully. Is this the case?"
"Even if Venezuela annexes such a worthless colony, it would be better than lying on our bodies and sucking our blood."
While Alan Wilson was privately communicating with diplomats from various countries... that he was treating the colonies with an enlightened attitude, Rab Butler was delivering a passionate speech at the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting, loudly calling for European unity.
Once a common goal is determined, European countries will cooperate in the most efficient way. The leaders of Britain and France will jointly respond to the crisis through communication and cooperation. The goals of Britain and France are the same, the unity and development of Europe, and the restoration of the vitality and economic status of European countries before the war.
Europe will only be strong if it is united. This is not only a matter for Britain and France, but also involves the vital interests of Germany, Italy, and other European countries.
When Rab Butler spoke, the foreign ministers of various countries nodded and said that you are right. The big framework is no problem, but the overlap of industries and the specific steps for mutual cooperation will definitely not be as smooth as the big framework.
However, cooperation in the military field is often easier than in other fields. Alan Wilson's promotion of European defense independence is actually using the economies of other European countries to pay for the development of the British aviation industry. This is not just a day or two.
He has been preparing for this for the past two years. Finally, at this European Community meeting, the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy jointly announced that they would adopt a united attitude and cooperate to develop a replacement for the F-4, F-
104, "Canberra", "Predator" and other new fighter jets.
The UK and Sweden have also signed an agreement to support Sweden in the development of attack aircraft in the face of large-scale foreign armored clusters and jointly develop to deal with this threat. The UK will use the prototype of the TSR.2 attack aircraft as technical support and jointly develop with Sweden.
.
As for France, Britain and France also agreed to continue to implement the Belfast strategic transport aircraft project with a more united attitude. Dassault and France Aerospace represented France and the United Kingdom, and France also won over
Germany's MBB Company and United Aviation Technology-Fokker Company have joined in the development.
The British are naturally responsible for the most critical engine part. As for France, the requirements are generally consistent with the British. They have a large-capacity cargo hold, a rear passage ramp at the rising tail, and use of straight wings and turboprop engines. To perform cargo and troop transport tasks, directly from
Operate forward positions and evacuate casualties.
During flight, the cargo area is pressurized and maintained at a constant temperature by an integrated air conditioning system.
The United Kingdom, the United States, and France finalized their needs and clarified their order intentions for a total of 270 aircraft. The United Kingdom and Germany each ordered 100 aircraft, and France ordered 70 aircraft. Although France has a common need with the United Kingdom on the issue of strategic transport aircraft.
But Germany, which was also concerned with the supply of West Berlin, obviously needed a larger quantity.
There are voices in the Federal Republic of Germany that hope to abandon West Berlin and exchange some land with the Democratic Republic of Germany, but there are only such voices, and these voices will never be taken seriously.
With this move, the Federal Republic of Germany also hopes to cooperate in the air force field and make up for the differences caused by the Iranian oil crisis with the United Kingdom.
