"Yes, my dear, I have always grasped the Australian heritage very accurately." Alan Wilson laughed heartily, "That's why I asked you to go to Australia after the war, not to Canada. Although Canada has a deeper relationship with Britain,
Being too close to the United States, Newfoundland cannot carry a large number of large mouths, and it will not have enough influence on Canada. At least it cannot play the role that Malaya does now. If the cost is invested in Canada, the final result will still not be able to exert a check and balance."
"Also, Lyndon Johnson is expected to choose to sign affirmative action after he officially takes office. If this matter is done well, it will definitely give a huge shock to the Australian political arena."
The Five Eyes Alliance will all encounter the problem of future immigration in the future. If anyone faces this problem more seriously, it will definitely be the United States in terms of absolute numbers, but Australia faces a greater threat. The threat to the United States is to boil a frog in warm water, and the Americans themselves are
There are more than 200 million people. It will be hard to tell how many immigrants there are in Australia even after the influx of immigrants.
In fact, the safer countries are the United Kingdom and Canada. Alan Wilson has blocked the channels for immigrants. As for the flow of immigrants from North Africa, the United Kingdom was safe until France fell.
Pamela Mountbatten took note of her husband's words, and then asked, "Dear, there is such a big movement in the United States, and I heard that South Korea is also preparing to send troops, is it really impossible to win?"
"Don't underestimate the ability of the Chinese motherland to take the blame." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "American-style warfare is actually not suitable for such a medium-sized war. Once it falls into it, it will be ugly."
Of course hard work is useful, but even if you don't, don't blow up tents with cruise missiles.
The Soviet Union spent nearly ten years in Afghanistan, and the United States only had this amount of money in one year. No matter how wealthy the country was, it could not withstand such a decline. The bulk of the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan was not in Afghanistan at all. There was also the war in Angola and military assistance in Central America.
They are all superpowers, and the United States can do things that cost many times more than its opponents. This is not a problem of the 21st century, but it exists now. The Korean War began to take shape, and the Vietnam War began to lay the foundation for future generations to be shameless.
Foundation.
After following the temptation, Alan Wilson watched his wife board the plane. He would stay in New Delhi for one more day, and then return to London with Field Marshal Mountbatten.
During the period when he was getting closer to retirement, when Mountbatten served as the de facto full-time commander of the United Kingdom, he fulfilled his promise when he first took office, "The future of the Royal Navy is bright."
In fact, the importance attached to the Air Force at that time made many naval officers feel that Mountbatten was unable to fulfill his promise. When he took office, the chiefs of staff of the army, navy and air force could go directly to the cabinet ministers and the prime minister if they had something to do. Mountbatten believed that doing so would undoubtedly be detrimental.
The authority of the Chief of Defense Staff was eliminated, so when he took office, he set a rule that all military services must seek instructions from the Ministry of National Defense in advance, and they were not allowed to go beyond the level to go to the cabinet ministers and prime minister.
At this time, Mountbatten was already the leader of the British army. During his tenure, he completed the orderly replacement of the Royal Navy. The Cuban Missile Crisis proved that the large navy is still useful. The Royal Navy has made outstanding contributions to the rescue of the Middle East and the Far East.
Now, the only remaining work for Mountbatten is to figure out the personnel arrangements after retirement.
"Pamela said that the next chief of defense staff has been selected." Sitting on the plane returning, Alan Wilson asked about the inside story.
"Sir Sir Hull, general of the army. After I go back, I plan to gather the opinions of forty generals to make personnel arrangements." Marshal Mountbatten did not hide it, "I am indeed old now."
Mountbatten was indeed a bit old and frail. He often dozed off during important meetings, and when urgent decisions needed to be made, he would go out for a walk.
"I can't even talk about being old. In fact, as long as the marshal has a good rest, whether he is in the military or not, I believe that he will have a unique influence on the military." Alan Wilson comforted him, "What about life after retirement?
Planning to a certain extent.”
"Edwina also likes Perth. Domestic affairs will be left to you. Patricia's husband is in the House of Lords, so there are actually limited ways he can help." Marshal Mountbatten glanced at his son-in-law when he said this, "Of course.
Now, the situation has not worsened and it is not as embarrassing as before."
Alan Wilson pretended not to understand this hint. It was nothing more than the House of Lords full of aristocrats. Now there are many naked officials who have put their family businesses in Australia. With the help of British capital entering Australia in large quantities, they have found their glorious days again.
a feeling of.
Taking advantage of the opportunity before his father-in-law retired, Alan Wilson had no other wish than to quickly secure the guided missile battleship. Changing a military spokesperson might lead to changes.
The path of missile anti-ship is undoubtedly the path of the Soviet Red Navy. It is completely wrong for some people in later generations to compare the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class cruisers with the Blade Sea-class of a major country. The closest place between the two is
In terms of tonnage, nothing else comes close.
The anti-ship capability of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and the Arleigh Burke-class cannot be said to be completely zero, but it can be basically said to be zero.
The core of the U.S. Navy's combat is aircraft carriers. Cruisers and destroyers are only air defense forces. The positioning of the Renhai class is completely different. This is a big problem with different routes, not a small contradiction.
If a big country can succeed in the way that the Red Navy gave up halfway, the U.S. Navy cannot replicate it, because it will have to tear everything down and start over. The cost of building a frigate in the U.S. is one billion dollars, which will only cost Congress money.
The days are getting worse.
In the end, Marshal Mountbatten also believed that the construction cost of 10 million pounds was really worthwhile, and the technical verification was very cheap. However, he also wanted to ask his son-in-law why he had such a soft spot for big guns and ships.
That is of course because of the existence of the Kirov battlecruiser. Bigness is beauty, more is good, caliber is justice, and range is truth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, Alan Wilson doesn't think that guided missile battleships are very backward. In the 21st century, the Kirov was indeed very backward, but in the 1970s when it first entered service, who
Dare you take a high look?
Returning to London, Alan Wilson held a Whitehall meeting to discuss several recent major events, as well as the independence issues of Yemen and Mauritius involving the colonies. The Prime Minister also wanted to see the follow-up impact of the US election on international affairs, as well as South Vietnam.
Assessment of war.
"We have good wishes and hope that the United States, the most powerful country in the world, can contain the pro-Soviet elements without mercy."
Alan Wilson was full of confidence and praised the United States, which was already involved in the Vietnam War. "We must pay special attention to the guidance of public opinion. From the perspective of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, we must not complain at this time. Although some
On this issue, the UK and the US are not without their differences."
When dealing with melon-eating people, I struck hard. Faced with the Prime Minister's consultation, Alan Wilson changed his attitude and said, "It is really difficult for our American allies to win, and it may evolve into the Korean War."
In fact, compared to the Korean War, the consequences of the Vietnam War were more disastrous, because South Korea still exists and South Vietnam is gone. But how could Alan Wilson, who is responsible for the special relationship between Britain and the United States, undermine the confidence of Americans at this time, so when it comes to North Korea
The evolution of the war, that is, a draw, reflects the Cabinet Secretary-General's demeanor of being strict with the enemy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
"Alan, you might as well speak more clearly." Eden was very concerned about this matter, because Britain did receive a request from the United States to send troops. The Cabinet Secretary felt that it was not serious to be strict with the enemy, but in Eden's eyes, North Korea
Aren't the consequences of the war serious? Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, and the pensions alone are enough to make people's heads ache.
"Simply put, no matter what Washington says, Britain cannot accompany these Romans to burn money." Alan Wilson emphasized this, "This will definitely affect the support rate."
"Of course I won't let the UK get stuck in a boring war." Eden responded instinctively as soon as he heard the support rate. "But it seems that the United States is very serious this time."
"We don't know whether the other side is also serious. From our research on the Soviet bloc, it also includes the Russian tradition. That is, they rarely fight particularly beautiful battles, but they will win in the end."
Alan Wilson said seriously, "If war is an exchange ratio, Russia will lose more battles than it wins, but in fact, the Soviet Union's 22 million square kilometers of land were all taken in this very ugly war.
Arrived."
Napoleon also defeated the Russian Empire, and the Germans also severely humiliated the Soviets. But in the end, the Russian Empire was the European military police, and the Soviet Union also occupied Germany's Longxing Land. If you count the exchange ratio, the Korean War was also the United States'
If you win, then when Aiden heard that it might turn into the Korean War, why didn't he calm down all of a sudden?
Finally, Alan Wilson reminded the Prime Minister, "Dear Prime Minister, the intervention of the US military has just begun. What is needed now is encouragement, at least verbal encouragement. Otherwise, it may destroy the special relationship between Britain and the United States. We all know that Americans are not like
It was only before the war that I became so easy to talk to."
Aiden also nodded, and then ordered, "After the New Year, according to the time agreed between us and the local people in Yemen, a roundtable meeting with an independent schedule should be held. You can arrange it."
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Alan Wilson's face was full of loyalty, and then he left the Prime Minister's Office. It was the end of another year, and the Cabinet Secretary still had many things to do, such as confirming the exact data on colonial profits, and
Inform the cabinet of the true situation of making ends meet.
Monroe was making food for the visiting guests, holding the condiments and preparing to let men of the same status as her husband have a taste of her craftsmanship.
"Pakistani red salt?" Alan Wilson glanced at it and said the name of this salt without any pause.
"You seem to know everything." Monroe rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson charmingly, "Are you trying to show off your huge knowledge reserve?"
"That's not true. The price of this salt is thirty times higher than the market price of sea salt. It is mined by Pamela's company in Pakistan." Alan Wilson said in his heart that this is a proper IQ tax. Once the demand is created
Once it comes out, the value will go up.
After Japan's economy took off, people like to eat tuna. Currently, Newfoundland fishermen are eating from the sea to meet the needs of Japan's good people and the poor who suddenly get rich.
