"The Royal Navy is in Tokyo Bay, right?" Smith was startled and then asked, "Are you demonstrating or joining the war?"
Although there is this question, Smith thinks it must be the former? Will Britain intervene in a war for another country? Isn't that a joke? The United States understands Britain just like farmers understand fertilizer. Britain will never do such a thing.
"The Royal Navy is just helping France put pressure on the North Vietnamese guerrillas not to act rashly." Morrison's answer was as expected. Britain was indeed not so generous as to go to war for the sake of the French.
The Royal Navy's presence in the waters of Tokyo Bay was out of solidarity with the free world to help calm the pro-Soviet forces occupying a large area of North Vietnam and prevent the situation from deteriorating further and affecting the negotiations at the Geneva Conference.
Smith agreed with this explanation. He also knew that the real Secretary of State Dulles, at the critical moment of the Dien Bien Phu battle, was endlessly focused on the Korean issue. By the time it was time to talk about the Vietnam issue, the Dien Bien Phu defenders could no longer hold on.
Already.
The French were actually dissatisfied with this and believed that the United States' actions at the Geneva Conference were too selfish. It was only because of the national strength of the United States that they refrained from speaking out.
"Of course, we are for the unity of the free world." Smith was just Dulles' deputy. Dulles himself had returned to the country, but at this time he also promised to take care of France's interests as much as possible.
Although the Battle of Dien Bien Phu has ended due to the defeat of France, the hostile camp cannot be allowed to take advantage. At the worst, we must strive for a north-south partition. This is the bottom line to block the two main directions of the spread of pro-Soviet forces around the world.
At the same time, it expresses the solemn position of the free world.
It would not be a good thing for today's free world to really take off the French people's pants. The United States' attitude towards Western European countries also hopes to have some important allies, rather than idiots who cannot help at critical moments.
It is undeniable that there is also an arrogant voice in the United States that believes that the United States' era has come and will last for a long time.
But there are also voices that believe that in the face of a powerful enemy like the Soviet Union, the advantage of the United States is these powerful allies, which are better than those allies of the Soviet Union that have little sense of existence.
If Alan Wilson were here, he would surely understand that history does not simply repeat itself.
In the face of growing opponents, this kind of statement is both factual and emboldening. Just like Britain before World War I, it was willing to repeat Britain's broad alliances around the world to prevent the Germans from acting rashly.
But to be honest, this kind of alliance system is useful, but it cannot be expected that the allies will become suicide squads without taking action. In the end, Britain will still end up fighting the Germans personally, which is inevitable.
It can be said that Britain's participation in the two world wars can be regarded as exhausting its national strength for hegemony. As for the United States in later generations, as far as Alan Wilson is concerned, in his memory, the United States continues to encourage its allies to become death squads, while itself hides behind to support
.
But there is another side to the United States. The United States is full of military virtue and often needs some less powerful countries to serve as stepping stones. Americans are the experts in attacking the third world.
This provocative move in Tokyo Bay should have been part of the Tokyo Bay incident initiated by the Americans.
The difference is that not everyone in North Vietnam has a gun, let alone a few torpedo boats competing with the Royal Navy. After several days of contact, Alan Wilson knew that the waters of Tokyo Bay were calm.
The task force's exercises are of course useful. They can at least boost the morale of the free world. This is especially true for the French, who still control many places in South Vietnam.
At this time, Alan Wilson took a few Australian newspapers to see what the public opinion was in this country with a similar status to the Anzai Protectorate. As expected, he sang praises for the British Royal Navy's actions in Tokyo Bay, thinking that this was
An act of justice.
The waters of Tokyo Bay are calm and calm, and it is not a volatile weather. Britain faces the Atlantic Ocean, which is called the Ocean of Storms. Once it sets sail in a fully loaded combat state, as long as the waves are slightly bigger, the deck will feel like it may be submerged by sea water at any time.
, so in terms of warship design, British designers have made all levels of Royal Navy ships highly seaworthy, surpassing any current country in this regard.
At least there are no consequences of de-industrialization in the UK at present. The routine practice of later generations that all problems are caused by the water does not exist in this era.
It is also quite convenient to replenish the task force in Tokyo Bay, and Xiangjiang is not very far away. It is currently considered safe and can sustain a cruise for a period of time. At least it will not be a problem to persist until the Geneva Conference has a result.
"Pamela is coming back soon!" Princess Margaret was sitting on Alan Wilson's lap, bleating to scare her brother-in-law, and picking at the rope with one little hand. She didn't know what she was doing.
"You're back, you're the one in trouble, right? What are you doing now?" Alan Wilson pretended to be serious, but his seriousness was not normal at this time. Who let the murder weapon be caught?
"Go, it was you who seduced me." Princess Margaret exhaled like a blue breath, and continued to frame her maliciously.
An imperial commissioner with a promising future was so angry at the royal princess that he dared not speak out. After a long time, the princess decided to clean up. After a while, she wiped her hands and walked out, looking thoughtful.
The two of them did not break the last window, but they were one step closer. What made Her Royal Highness angry was that this courageous brother-in-law showed hesitation on this point, which was very dissatisfying.
The thoughtful princess leaned directly into Alan Wilson's arms and sighed quietly, "What should we do now?"
"I'm just thinking about what to do now. I didn't think I was a princess when I seduced her before." He reached out and knocked the princess on the head. Alan Wilson kept talking, saying that he had taught the princess to take the right path, but the princess did not listen to discipline.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Pamela is not suitable to know this." In unison, the brother-in-law and sister-in-law spoke almost at the same time, then they were stunned, looked at each other and smiled. They did not expect to get it so quickly.
consensus.
Knowing that his wife was already busy with the biological company, Alan Wilson also remembered his original intention of making some contribution to the British military industry and started to get busy.
In a field that started very early and ended up with no results, I am not aiming at anyone. People think that I am a British critic of ugliness. After entering the 20th century, except for armaments in the naval field, in other fields, there are mostly failures in armaments, and achievements are rare.
Everyone uses smoothbore cannons, and the use of rifled cannons on British tanks is just a trivial example.
He really wanted to prevent the British military industry from taking detours. After all, things are different now. Britain's wealth accumulation has been exhausted through two world wars. For example, before the First World War, the two-power standard was used to kill the German High Seas Fleet.
I can only think about it now.
Saving costs and doing big things with a small amount of money will definitely be a dead end for the British army in the future. He cannot just watch a bunch of failures enter the British army and then retire after serving for a few years.
It's just that Alan Wilson wanted to help the British military industry avoid detours, but it was not easy. He couldn't think of any eye-catching works in the British military industry in later generations. Vertical take-off and landing was considered a success, but that was because of the British
The large aircraft carriers are decommissioned and the cargo will be produced. Now that the UK has large aircraft carriers, there is no need to consider it.
"Is it bad for me to copy American weapons because of the special relationship between Britain and the United States?" Alan Wilson touched his chin. Although he had only seen a lot of photos of American equipment, he could only copy a shell at best, but this is what the British
The biggest problem with conventional weapons over the past decades is that even those made with good technology are surprisingly ugly.
In the end, the imperial commissioner made the following judgment: copying the shell is not considered plagiarism. Britain's technological level is not bad, and it must have its own technical core to support it.
This was the result of Alan Wilson's hard work day and night before Pamela Mountbatten returned.
After devoting himself to the British Empire, what does a little reputation for plagiarism mean? The design he created first was undoubtedly his original work, so what can be said about it.
When Alan Wilson recalled some armament development trends and wrote a diary to record.
The war of words at the Geneva Conference has not stopped. The security issues in Indochina and the consideration that the United States must side with France have made this issue a battlefield.
For Britain there was a question of wanting and wanting without offending the hostile camp. Alan Wilson, who was trying to figure out which armaments to copy from the Americans, helped the Honorable Foreign Secretary.
Foreign Secretary Morrison expressed his position on this issue, starting from national self-determination and speaking out for the partition of the North and the South and the status of Cambodia and Laos. "Many former colonies have a very taken-for-granted idea, that is, they believe that the territories managed by the sovereign state are
It naturally belongs to them. This idea is shared by Indians and Indonesians, and it makes no sense."
"How should we deal with this matter while blaming the colonial power of the mother country while expressing our post-independence territorial ambitions? Our British ideas are not complicated. We must ensure the independent entity status of Cambodia and Laos, otherwise there will be no discussion. Even the French
If we leave, the war will continue."
"The UK must have ideas about specific measures." Molotov asked after hearing this.
"It's not that the UK has any idea, but it is to witness the independence process of the French territories under the fair judgment of the international community. I think this is not a very excessive request, unless the Soviet Union objects?" Morrison nodded slightly, "I believe it
, the Soviet Union also recognized this measure, which is all for peace."
