Eiffel had just passed the necessary inquiries, and the first thing he did when he entered the NATO job was to find himself.
This surprised Alan Wilson. After some consideration, he agreed to come down and meet with the other party. Hedy Lamarr helped arrange the meeting place, and Aiful accompanied him to meet with the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the French Army in Vietnam.
.
"Hello, Commissioner Wilson." After General Navarre appeared, he looked at the furnishings of the building and nodded, "I didn't expect that the place where we met would be so unique."
"Because of Patricia and his wife, I have some connections in the film and television industry." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "I felt that the place where we met was too solemn and seemed a bit nervous."
This is the prop storage warehouse of Woodpecker Pictures. Many of the props here are genuine. Some of them are the result of Alan Wilson's hard work in the British-occupied area.
If he remembered correctly, General Navarre was the commander-in-chief of the French army in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, then the purpose of finding himself, the commissioner of British Malaya, would be obvious.
France's own currency has depreciated sharply twice, and a large part of the military expenditures supporting the Vietnam War came from U.S. military aid. The French-controlled areas in South Vietnam have not developed much.
British Malaya, on the other hand, formed an industrial advantage over South Vietnam through Britain's preemptive post-war planning.
The industrial advantages are nothing more than these points. At the same price, my quality is better than yours, and at the same price, my output is greater. It is easier said than done. I don’t mention whether the prospect of British Malaya against Japan is clear now, but it is necessary to clean up the French army’s stronghold in South Vietnam.
Still no problem.
Of course, the profits gained from the Franco-Vietnamese War were not reflected in the part handed over to the British mainland. First of all, the military supplies sold by British Malaya adopted the route of small profits but quick turnover. From a colonial perspective, France was, after all, an ally of the United Kingdom.
.
The core purpose was to enable the French army in Vietnam to have more combat effectiveness and at the same time provide exports to the industries in British Malaya.
Another point is that development does not happen overnight. Even if the demands brought about by the war cannot go to our heads, the original planned industrial upgrading will not be changed due to the demands of the war. We still need to walk more steadily.
As the new commander-in-chief of the French army, General Navarre, after learning about this situation, made necessary investigations and found out that the commissioner of British Malaya was actually in Paris at this time, so it was understandable that he came to visit him.
A general of General Navarre's age automatically ignores Alan Wilson's age. Anyway, to be a colonial commissioner at this age, one must either have a very strong background or have a very high ability. Either way is not a bad thing.
Naturally, General Navarre would not tell a British man how the French army was going to fight, but he also hinted that the French army was preparing to achieve a relatively favorable situation through a series of offensives. When the time came, it would be honorable to continue the attack or stop losses in time.
If you leave, it's a matter for the French government.
"I understand this very well. We officials working overseas are just trying to find ways to help the country as much as possible. I have also encountered many of the problems that the French have encountered in the past few years."
After listening to this, Alan Wilson expressed his understanding of General Navarre's position and thanked General Navarre for his candidness. He asked, "Of course, I want to remind the general that Vietnam's neighbors in the north may have unexpected ideas about the war situation.
Influence. You still have to be cautious in specific actions. Of course, I am not a soldier. The commander of the British forces in Malaya is General Bilton, so what I say may not be correct."
Alan Wilson could not say more about whether General Navarre listened to it. Because the specific process of the Dien Bien Phu battle was impossible for a person who did not know the inside story to know, and he had no way to remind him about it.
Netizens from a certain major country said that the military advisory group played a decisive role, but the Vietnamese certainly did not think so. But one thing is for sure, the combat troops are Vietnamese.
This is just like the British who kept organizing anti-French alliances, but it was the Russian-Russian War that really brought Napoleon to ashes. Who deserves more credit? This is a matter of opinion.
Alan Wilson doesn’t know the true inside story of the other camp’s senior officials. Which netizen from the two countries is right? What if the reminder is wrong?
If they just reminded Vietnam's northern neighbors and then Giap won again, wouldn't that be causing trouble for themselves? If the French blamed the British for their defeat, it would be a big joke.
"I am very grateful to Commissioner Wilson for the reminder. With some logistical help, I hope that British Malaya can become a reliable supplier!" General Navarre continued, "The unity of Britain and France is the cornerstone of European stability.
.”
"Dear General, I really agree with what you said." Alan Wilson said with approval. "If I were a soldier, I would even find a way to mobilize the British troops in Malaya to form a coalition to help. It's a pity that I
I am not a soldier. But I can guarantee that I will provide the best military supplies to my French friends."
He is definitely not lying. He has the ability. Let alone sending troops to help, he will not hesitate to drop nuclear bombs. The problem is that he does not have the power.
However, although there are no nuclear bombs, napalm is not a technical problem for the United Kingdom.
Out of consideration for maintaining the unity of Britain and France, Alan Wilson offered to produce napalm bombs in British Malaya for use by the French Air Force stationed in Vietnam.
There was a major problem with early liquid fuels. This substance was easy to splash and difficult to adhere to, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of concentrated killing.
The United States has discovered that switching to gelled gasoline can improve the range and effectiveness of flamethrowers. However, gelled gasoline uses natural rubber, which is in high demand and expensive, and is difficult to manufacture.
However, the invention of the much cheaper napalm viscous agent solved the problem of the original need for rubber fuel.
In the case of traditional liquid fuels, it is nothing more than a cost issue, but British Malaya happens to be an important rubber producing area, so this problem is easily solved. In the latter case, the Mountbatten Group has a group of German chemical talents, all of whom were under British occupation by Alan Wilson.
In this area, it is not difficult to use similar techniques to deceive the top and conceal the release.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So after learning about the difficulties of the French allies, Alan Wilson offered to help and helped as much as possible.
General Navarre was overjoyed. Even he did not expect that his British friends were so sincere. "This is what surprised me. Commissioner Wilson's attitude is gratifying."
"General, you're welcome! After all, everyone should have a price." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, "I only hope that these weapons, which carry the friendship between our two countries, must play their due role.
It would be very disappointing if one shell couldn't even replace a tent."
It's just that more people died. Those who died were rebels and traitors, and those who suppressed were French people. It had nothing to do with him as an Englishman. He could have a clear conscience at any time.
When leaving, General Navarre received the assurance from Alan Wilson, and the excited Alan Wilson shook hands, "I wonder when Commissioner Wilson will return to Malaya so that we can fight side by side."
"It may take a while, our Majesty the Queen will be crowned, in June." Alan Wilson emphasized at this point, "But dear general, the officials in Malaya are all trustworthy people, so I won't
Even in Europe, I can also urge my colleagues to prepare the support the French army needs. I am always honest in business."
General Navarre nodded and immediately left the prop warehouse of Woodpecker Pictures. Eiffel waited until the other party left before saying, "I'm afraid napalm bombs will be used to suppress the colonies?"
"Effle, does the UK have more colonies than France? We should respect French allies who use military means." Alan Wilson interrupted Eiffle indifferently, "Everyone has a price.
, I just wanted to suggest that France must follow the example of the Dutch and carry out systematic destruction of Java Island if the war situation is unfavorable, but it has not happened yet, so I restrained myself and did not say it out loud."
But what? It doesn't matter. When he returns to Kuala Lumpur, he will have a chance to remind the French. There is no rush now.
While Alan Wilson was communicating with France, Philby also found Ian Fleming who had arrived in Paris. From the perspective of leaks, he gave a certain degree of confidence in the fact that Ian Fleming wrote a novel about his experience in the intelligence agency.
advice.
This was not good news for Ian Fleming, who even had his air tickets reimbursed. At this moment, the manager of Woodpecker Pictures came to the door and expressed that he wanted to discuss the issue of film and television rights. The timing was just right.
.
"Isn't it too much of a coincidence?" Philby, who was sitting opposite Alan Wilson, said, shaking his wine glass with one hand, "Although Ian Fleming does not have outstanding abilities in the field of intelligence, it should not be difficult to deceive him.
"
"I remember you told me that the work of MI6 is not legendary at all." Alan Wilson was holding the Nature magazine and reading the latest issue. Then he took out a small notebook and wrote it down, preparing to write this book.
The content of this issue is about chatting with his wife Pamela Mountbatten.
The content of this issue of Nature magazine is about the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule. Through Wilkins, Watson and Crick saw a very beautiful X-ray diffraction photo of DNA crystals taken by Franklin in November last year. This inspired them to
Their inspiration. They not only confirmed that DNA must have a helical structure, but also analyzed the helix parameters.
Of course Alan Wilson knew the importance of this paper, and immediately informed his wife via telegram that he should acquire this team and invest heavily in biological sciences.
This is good for the Mountbatten Group. At least on this issue, it is better than the news that Philby claimed to be the deputy director of MI5.
