Chapter 1253 Cherish each other

Considering the scale of military aid provided by the Soviet Union and the geographical environment of Indonesia suitable for the navy, Alan Wilson felt that sending the Indonesian fleet would definitely not happen just once.

Maybe it will still be there when Brezhnev comes to power. Even if it is gone, if the Soviet Red Navy develops, who says it can't station troops in Indonesia?

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. Navy was dispatched and surrounded the Caribbean Sea like an iron barrel. The Soviet Union's infiltrated submarine was also discovered by the United States. The huge gap in strength between the U.S. and Soviet navies greatly affected the Soviet Navy. Although anti-ship missiles could indeed be used during wartime

It can sink battleships and nuclear weapons can even destroy a country, but these things cannot be used at any time.

In the month after the Cuban Missile Crisis ended, Gorshkov, leader of the Soviet Red Navy, promoted the construction of Moscow-class aircraft carriers, which had been approved by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union.

Although this kind of aircraft carrier, as Alan Wilson said, similar to the Centaur class of the Royal Pacific Fleet, is really useless. But he cannot deny that this is a decisive change.

At this point, the popular theory that aircraft carriers are floating coffins can be said goodbye. Even the Soviets who advocated aircraft carrier coffins have realized their mistake. This is also a good thing for Britain. Mountbatten has been supported by his son-in-law for many years.

Next, they tried their best to preserve the renewal of the Royal Navy, and finally waited for the demise of the Coffin Faction.

Now, the Royal Navy's financial situation is quite good. If you add the four Centaurs, who doesn't have a country-destroying fleet with more than ten aircraft carrier battle groups?

"The importance we attach to Australia cannot be overemphasized." Profumo expressed his support in front of the father-in-law. Since the case of the underage girl and the Soviet spy case, the Minister of Defense has changed his previous attitude towards the military.

Firm support for the military's role in defending the UK.

"If you want to sell it, sell the best one. The Australian Navy has three aircraft carriers in name, but two of them are not useful. With the booming development of carrier-based aircraft, it is really impossible to upgrade." Alan Wilson said these words without any hesitation.

Sorry, he was the one who sold the British Vengeance, Glory, and Titan classes.

In this world, there are more countries than ever before with aircraft carriers. It is simply the golden age of aircraft carriers. The good thing is that it is extremely difficult to upgrade these aircraft carriers. Even if you can barely do it, you still need to return to the UK to return to the factory.

The aircraft carriers left by the UK are all big, but this is not enough. They need to be bigger and stronger. If a rich country has such a demand? Can the UK accumulate experience in building the next level of aircraft carriers?

Isn’t there a saying that everyone has a bright future for each other?

"Since the UK itself does not have such a powerful aircraft carrier, but has given such a powerful weapon to Australia, I don't think Australia cares about the price. The key is to let Australia understand the UK's sincerity and objective difficulties. This is

It takes a person who is widely respected and loved to use his own prestige to promote this matter."

Mountbatten kept nodding and listened to his son-in-law's tirade, but the more he listened, the less interesting it became. Wasn't this talking about him? After a long time, he was the clown. He said directly in front of Profumo, "I'm going to Canberra. I hope

can make this happen.”

Listening to Mountbatten's lack of confidence, Alan Wilson said, "I passed by Perth before coming back, and Pamela told me that the political situation in Indonesia has shocked the whole country of Australia. The effect of the visit at this time was excellent. Although the two Eagle-class aircraft carriers

Deployed to the Pacific Fleet, but it is actually time for the Eagle-class to be upgraded. If the investment in upgrading and upgrading the two Eagle-class ships can be recovered through this arms sale, it will be a good thing for the United Kingdom, and it will not be a financial drain.

It’s hard to do.”

Alan Wilson These are very conservative estimates. Large orders of US$66 billion for 12 nuclear-powered submarines have appeared.

Five and a half billion US dollars for a submarine? If you only calculate the construction cost, rather than including personnel training, this is enough for a major country to build fifteen aircraft carriers. Even if the Americans build the Ford class, they can also build five.

ship.

Profumo will naturally not object. The Minister of Defense hopes to get the support of the military. It would be better if it does not result in financial allocations. No Minister of Defense will object to arms sales, especially arms sales to English-speaking countries.

.

"I just happened to go see Pamela." Although he was kicked to Australia by his son-in-law without martial arts, Marshal Mountbatten did not cause trouble to his son-in-law. He directly sighed, "The changes in Indonesia have far-reaching consequences, and the Soviet Union has

It's troublesome enough, it's just as troublesome in Asia, and the situation is becoming more and more troublesome."

"The gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and per capita resources are insufficient, so it is easy for this kind of thing to happen. Fortunately, Indonesia is an island country, and the Royal Navy still has a deterrent effect on the island country." Alan Wilson said in a neutral tone, "But Indonesia

The potential should not be overestimated, as resource shortcomings are still quite prominent.”

Indonesia is certainly rich in some resources, including oil and natural gas, but the most basic coal and iron, simply put, there is coal but no iron. This kind of lame resource distribution, you see, Germany and France surround the bordering areas

You will know how many battles you have fought.

I believe no one thinks that Australia will export iron ore to help Indonesia make up for its shortcomings. Australia would like Java Island to sink.

The world is so unfair. There are many countries with limited resources. Latin America as a whole is in a situation where there is no iron but no coal.

Apart from oil, the Middle East has almost no money for anything, and few countries can even fill their own stomachs. Although Alan Wilson once laughed at Western Europe, its natural resources are only at the level of India, which is not enough for a major country, let alone

Compared with the Soviet Union.

But even so, Western Europe is already a very unique place in the world. Speaking of Indonesia specifically, Alan Wilson would probably be more tyrannical than the Indonesia ruled by Suharto in his mind. But after surrendering to the Communist Party, it was completely transformed?

It can only be said that the road ahead is tortuous and we need to work harder.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you think I am just talking about Indonesia? Isn't there another one that is more difficult to deal with?" Mountbatten glanced at his son-in-law and expressed the threat he mentioned.

There is also a certain big country.

When news about the changes in Indonesia came, because the situation was chaotic at the time, Britain did not know whether the pro-Soviet forces or the pro-China forces were rising. In fact, even now, the United Kingdom cannot figure it out, because the Indonesian Communist Party had left behind

The impression is pro-China, but it seems that the fleet gifted by the Soviet Union arrived in Indonesia. Indonesia followed a coup, and it seemed that pro-Soviet forces were involved.

"It doesn't matter who they are, they are all enemies." Alan Wilson said expressionlessly, "It's just the difference between enemies and thugs. The Soviet Union is the enemy, and other countries are thugs."

"Oh, you think so." Marshal Mountbatten nodded, "The Soviet Union is indeed too powerful. It would be great if other Soviet allies could realize that the Soviet Union cannot protect them."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said to himself, you should wait for someone within the Soviet bloc to take action personally. Britain cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility anyway.

The backstabbing of a certain major country was a key factor in the Soviet Union gradually turning into a disadvantage in the confrontation, although it only contained a quarter of its military strength. The most elite part of the Soviet army has never left Europe.

At this moment, just as at that time, the situation in the 21st century is exactly the opposite. At that time, the worst thing for a certain big country is that Russia can learn from history and learn from the operations of its eastern neighbors.

Apart from this possibility, the remaining evolutions are not the worst. Being pro-Russian is not an option, but a must. Unless you feel that the coal and iron provided by Australia are more reliable than Russia.

But Australia is a country that can go through fire and water for the United States, just like Indonesia at this time, loyally following the United Kingdom.

After leaving the Ministry of Defense, Alan Wilson went directly to No. 10 Downing Street to report on the entire process of attending the US state funeral. Since the murderer was killed and silenced live broadcast across the United States, there must be questions in this regard.

Sure enough, Aiden asked about the news about the murderer being shot, "Alan, you were in the United States at the time. What did the Americans think?"

"Well, dear Prime Minister, the vast majority of Americans believe that Kennedy died in a conspiracy and that the murderer was shot and killed in a public massacre." Alan Wilson said with some shame, "If I say that Americans all believe that

If it was just an accident, then I would be lying, or telling a lie that I don’t believe at all.”

"Actually, similar things have happened in Japan, Italy and other countries, but I still can't believe that Americans actually do this in their own country. However, there is no US military garrison in the UK, so don't worry about this. I believe that even if someone changes

President, the special relationship between Britain and the United States will not change."

At a critical moment, Alan Wilson stabbed the special relationship between Britain and the United States in the back. At the beginning of the Cold War, this all really happened. Otherwise, Italy might very well have fallen into the arms of the Soviet Union.

In the same way, Japan and the United States have also carried out similar operations with white gloves. Is the life of the British Prime Minister harder than that of the American President?

Eden is an old-school British man who has seen with his own eyes the glory that never sets. In the current British political arena, there are still politicians like Eden who still firmly believe that Britain is the decisive force in the world, but Eden is definitely the most determined and unyielding one.

Eden definitely doesn't want Britain to be held hostage by the United States like Germany, Italy and Japan.

For a moment, Eden even understood why De Gaulle had to drive away the American troops stationed on the country. Once France drove away the US troops? Britain would never take them in.

Kennedy's human blood buns will be eaten for a while. Eden can think so, and the French can even think so. No one understands conspiracy theories better than Ai Zhongtang, and no one knows how to spread conspiracy theories in France better than him.
