"This matter needs to be carefully considered. I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet." Alan Wilson showed a cautious and courageous side. Although he is currently responsible for the reconstruction of London's East End, he has the space to meet Audrey Hepburn, but
It's always good to be more prepared.
The difference from before is that he is married now. People like Hedy Lamar are easy to talk about, but it is too wishful thinking to think that Hepburn doesn't care.
"Oh, you are actually flinching? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe my eyes." Hedy Lamarr looked surprised, "It seems you really like this little actor?"
"There are some things that she can't understand yet." Alan Wilson stopped the topic and did not want to say any more.
These ladies with the same status as their wives, except for Greta Garbo, have all been married many times. Now we all know that there is no inevitable relationship between marriage and love. Greta Garbo is still a homebody who can not go out for many years!
Hepburn was still a young girl who had just entered the film industry, and she definitely still had a lot of thoughts on marriage issues.
Of course, Alan Wilson could use the Malayan attack on the prisoner of war camp as an excuse to stabilize Hepburn first. But whether this excuse is reliable is still unknown.
As an overseas commissioner, it is very normal for Alan Wilson to carry a pistol. This is also the standard issue of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, the Webley revolver.
The most famous thing about the Webley revolver is that its owners complained that the gun could not hit anyone at all.
There is a popular saying in the British Army: "If you can shoot a target at fifty yards with a damn Webley revolver, I guarantee you can shoot a target at eight hundred yards with a Lee-Enfield rifle."
This sentence is comparable to the one used to evaluate the MiG. Not a single MiG fighter can fly to the middle of the Dnieper River.
Alan Wilson believed that this kind of sidearm could only be used to commit suicide. He found Lord Sheffield and asked him to help find a friend to remove the firing pin.
"Alan, you can definitely get a good gun while working overseas!" Markins couldn't help but grin after seeing the Webley revolver. Apparently he also knew about this British Empire standard equipment with many flaws.
"God knows when we will be able to replace this pistol. I came to you to ask for your help to remove the firing pin." Alan Wilson said straight to the point, "Is this not going to be difficult for you?"
"It's not difficult at all. I know a few very experienced workers." Makins agreed immediately, but said a little strangely, "It's just that I don't understand your request. If you don't like it, just don't use it."
"Not having a robbery and having a gun don't have to be two different concepts, otherwise Britain would not have developed nuclear weapons." Alan Wilson shook his wine glass and said, "The Turing incident last time was also thanks to your help."
"You're welcome, let's help each other." Maxkins said with a smile, "By the way, the second ship will be launched in two days. For the current London citizens, it is a good occasion to boost morale."
"HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier? This is really good news!" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. If the problem is not big, when the coronation ceremony of Crown Prince Elizabeth is held, there will be two modern aircraft carriers in the review.
The heavy aircraft carrier with all the elements appeared in the ship review.
Alan Wilson is a materialist, but since the death of King George VI, there has been smog in London and storm surges. It is difficult not to think of the saying that when a country is about to perish, monsters will be born. Even the Qing Dynasty.
Lord Buddha, you can always encounter some good news!
After a few drinks, the two parted ways. Alan Wilson met with Turing. Hedy Lamarr's frequency hopping patent was actually being studied by Turing, and he asked about the feasibility of the progress.
The situation of working during the day and working at night continued, after the London smog incident and the storm surge.
On March 1st, the launching ceremony of the Malta-class aircraft carrier, now officially named the second ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, has a very important symbolic significance.
In March 1953, the two heavy aircraft carriers, which had been under construction during the war, finally stepped off the slipway. At this time, the fate of stillbirth in history was avoided.
The first ship of the Midway-class aircraft carrier, the USS Midway, which was the target of the same period, was put into service in 1945. It has been galloping in the ocean for eight years now. The British aircraft carrier of the same class is only now belatedly arriving.
"It's good to have a good meal and don't worry about being late. It's good to come." Alan Wilson, who was not serious about anything, also found a good seat early, with a camera hanging around his neck, which showed how much he attaches importance to the hobby of photography.
We now have heavy aircraft carriers. To put it in perspective, we can’t fool people with the Harrier vertical takeoff and landing fighter. The British breakthrough in the field of vertical takeoff and landing is commendable, but if it weren’t for the fact that there are no heavy aircraft carriers,
Hands, there is no need for a fighter with many problems like this to maintain face.
It’s not like the UK has no experience in manufacturing large fighter jets, and the engine problems that plague other countries don’t exist in the UK either.
The United States is the only one in the world that can be picky about Britain's aviation engines. Even the Soviet Union has no right to say that British engines are not good.
Then the biggest reason for the launch of the Harrier VTOL fighter is obvious. The UK did not follow up on heavy aircraft carriers after the war. It did not have a good platform and could not equip large carrier-based aircraft, so it could only get the Harrier VTOL fighter to cope with it.
need.
After the war, carrier-based aircraft became larger and larger, and the aircraft carriers in the British hands were not tonnage enough. This was the reason why the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter appeared.
Now that there are aircraft carriers that can accommodate large carrier-based aircraft, there is no need for the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.
Armed with a camera full of photos, Alan Wilson returned home loaded with food and spent the evening drinking and chatting with colleagues in Whitehall.
"Philby, does Washington have any reservations about our intelligence cooperation with the United States?" Alan Wilson, holding a wine glass, asked the rising star of MI6 in front of him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How do you say this? Allen!" Philby hesitated for a moment, then said in embarrassment, "We are all adults."
That's right! The Five Eyes Alliance in this era is not so harmonious on the surface. The fundamental reason is still the same sentence, there are two gangs in one neighborhood, and one gang cannot have two talkers.
As long as Britain's strength has not been weakened to a certain extent, you must wear a helmet when going fishing.
"I wonder if the United States is interested in our aircraft carriers with catapults." Alan Wilson said indifferently, "There are so many changes in this class of aircraft carriers, and the Americans may be very interested."
"Due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States, we should not deceive the Americans, but if the Americans are interested, of course we can provide certain assistance. I heard that the Americans are very interested in steam catapults," Philby said.
He pointedly said, "Of course, it is normal for this new technology to have some problems. Americans also have enough financial resources to solve this problem."
"Philby, your evaluation of the financial strength of the United States is so admirable. I can't think of anything else that Americans can't solve." Alan Wilson raised his glass with a smile and added, "Except for the Korean War!
"
"Even the Korean War!" Philby looked at me with a knowing look, and Alan Wilson laughed tacitly.
To be honest, Alan Wilson feels that it is not too much to credit him for seeing the advent of heavy aircraft carriers. The only unexpected factor in the world is himself, and all good things that can change Britain should be related to him.
But Alan Wilson also knew that this could only be regarded as the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. These two heavy aircraft carriers alone were not enough. The United States also had the Kitty Hawk class and Nimitz behind it.
Even if the Nimitz class is beyond the capabilities of the British, it should still find a way to keep up with the Kitty Hawk class.
At the end of the reception, Alan Wilson left and decided to celebrate on Hedy Lamarr. The little brother was going to be tired again.
This fulfilling life of being busy during the day and busy at night is the driving force behind his pursuit of progress every day when he wakes up.
Kontsevo Villa is located in the suburbs of Moscow, not far from the Kremlin. It is equipped with the most advanced security system at the time and is guarded by two walls. One of the walls has a surveillance hole. The person responsible for the security of the villa is an experienced person.
Soviet soldier.
The Kontsevo Villa was also the most fascinating place for the top leaders of the Soviet Union. As long as you were summoned here by Stalin himself, it meant that you had one foot firmly established in the power center of the Soviet Union.
After the war, Stalin became increasingly reluctant to stay in the Kremlin, preferring to live in this humble villa.
Over time, he developed the habit of summoning leaders of other countries in the villa to discuss national affairs and analyze problems. The invitees usually had dinner in the villa, and then discussed with Stalin until the early morning of the next day.
But on this night, the Soviet dignitaries who rushed in from all over Moscow were summoned not by Stalin himself, but by the guards of Kontsevo Villa who reported that Stalin himself fell into a coma.
The doctors on standby at Kontsevo Villa had already begun resuscitating Stalin, who was unconscious due to vomiting blood. Not long after, Malenkov, Beria, Khrushchev and Molotov had all arrived.
In the villa, doctors were still rescuing Stalin, but the atmosphere here became awkward. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to say something, but found that everyone had almost nothing to say when Stalin was not around.
Soon this mentality appeared in everyone's thoughts. If Stalin could not be saved, everyone's relationship would undergo a round of changes. As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately took root in the hearts of everyone present.
