General Navarre immediately shook his head and said he had misunderstood. He would not give away money. He wanted to ensure the historical value and be able to see the glorious development of civilization.
"Currently, there are still a number of Tigers and Panthers in service in the French army. They are quite valuable for collection. I heard that the Mountbatten family has a hobby of collecting. I can give you one as well." General Navarre said, France received after the war.
After receiving a large amount of German military supplies, they fought in Dien Bien Phu and North Vietnam, and they almost competed with each other to compare with Germany.
"That's it!" Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. Now he has long been out of the stupid stage. The temptation of cash is no longer great for him, but he is really touched by General Navarre's gift.
Interested, "Thank you, General."
The only operational Tiger tank in the world in later generations is in a British museum. There must be more than one now, because when he was in Germany, the Dragoon sisters collected the intact Tiger tanks and put them in Haier
It was collected for him from the Man family manor.
The UK is actually a very interesting country. It seems conservative and old-fashioned, but in fact it has never lacked for hundreds of years of fantastic ideas. This is especially prominent in armament research and development. For example, the angled deck of aircraft carriers, vertical take-off and landing aircraft, etc.
It was the British who first created the idea and put it into practice.
Tanks were first invented by Britain and used in actual combat, so it was natural. Alan Wilson remembered that in later generations Britain preserved many antique tanks from different countries, including Japan's little bean sprouts.
Most countries don't have such a collecting habit like the United Kingdom. Gradually, after the war, German weapons disappeared over the years. But at this time, there were still German-made tanks in service among the French army in Vietnam.
If nothing else happens, those tanks will be damaged on the battlefield in North Africa, abandoned or melted down. Rather than doing this, it is better to give them to him as a guest.
"I'll keep them safe and load them onto the ship when you leave." General Navarre said with a sigh, "It's better to give them to you than to leave them to South Vietnam. In fact, these tanks are not suitable for Vietnam's environment."
Alan Wilson nodded. The armored force is indeed not suitable for fighting in the tropical rainforest. But it is quite suitable for the North African battlefield!
General Navarre was very sincere, and even took Alan Wilson to the French armored battalion camp to have a look. However, at the gate of the military camp, he saw several Vietnamese women waiting at the gate, looking forward to it.
He didn't pay attention at first, but when he came out of the military camp gate after looking at the collection that was about to be his, several Vietnamese girls were still there. He couldn't help but frown slightly and sighed in his heart.
If your guess is correct, these Vietnamese women should be the companions of French soldiers here. Now that the French army is about to leave, these women may want the French soldiers to take them away.
Back at Vivien Leigh's villa, Alan Wilson and Vivien Leigh talked about what they saw, including this incident.
"They should immigrate to France, right?" Vivien Leigh is also a woman, so she naturally sympathizes with the fate of Vietnamese women.
"There must be only a small number of people who can leave." Alan Wilson shook his head. Now he summarized his many years of work. The biggest achievement is that there are currently no US military bases in the UK.
"Then these women are really pitiful. Will they be discriminated against by Vietnamese men if they stay?" Vivien Leigh was a little worried, and then asked, "Is there anything similar in Malaya?"
"There are similar things in the Malayan colonies, but according to the regulations I formulated, the part involving money transactions does not count. If the local residents involved in the investigation are innocent, they must get married. I will also report the soldiers involved to the country.
." Alan Wilson spread his hands, "I can do this. The garrison hates the colonial government now, but they don't know that it was me who led it. Thanks to Pamela's father, I dare to make such a plan.
regulations."
Vivien Leigh didn't say anything. She knew that as the colonial commissioner of the empire, this man must put interests first. Colonial independence can be regarded as a failure, but other than that, as long as independence is not discussed, anything can be discussed.
Without the dignity of General Mountbatten, would General Bilton tolerate a bastard commissioner who just issued regulations to restrict the freedom of the military? That is simply a joke.
In fact, Alan Wilson was also very unjust. He just sent the erring soldiers into the pigeon cage to reflect and reflect. And the effect was very good. The soldiers who came out felt the greatness of the free world. This is not good. Who cares about paying for happiness?
is you?
"I now know why Monroe had a bad impression of the Korean garrison." Vivien Leigh suddenly said this.
"How many countries have militaries as undisciplined as the US military? If the United States had not had a large local population, Britain could have hammered the United States from its founding to its destruction." Alan Wilson was furious and did not mention the law of participating in the war.
Military, the US military has done personnel affairs?
Not to mention how the US military in Japan and South Korea ignored the governments of Japan and South Korea in later generations. During the period when the Artillery Party was in power, there were US troops stationed in China. There was also the existence of the Soviet Red Army. The difference was that if something happened to the Soviet Red Army, the Soviets would make mistakes.
Soldiers shot and killed to give an explanation.
He had never heard of how the U.S. military was treated in China. During the year when the Artillery Party was in power, the U.S. military committed more than 4,000 crimes and thousands of victims. The victims of the Mingjinglou incident were important military and political officials of the Artillery Party.
, do you dare to fart when you hear the gun gang?
Afterwards, the gunmen did not dare to hold the U.S. military responsible for anything. In the end, the court sentenced several women to prison terms on the pretext that the victim had seduced U.S. friendly personnel to engage in promiscuous activities.
According to the withdrawal time announced by the French government, starting on October 8, the French army will completely withdraw from Hanoi and hand over the territory to the Viet Minh in accordance with the military demarcation lines of the Geneva Conference.
That is to say, there are still three months left for the current glorious transition, which can be said to be very abundant. And even if it is considered to be a withdrawal, France will still have to wait for some time.
In other words, Hanoi still has three months of absolute safety. Even if the Viet Minh army is eager to take over Hanoi, it will still be very safe during these three months. France still has absolute time to transfer its wealth to an absolutely reliable
place.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Alan Wilson thinks that he is absolutely reliable, the French definitely don’t think so. In fact, some people in the French military think that this time he is here to pick the
Peach.
This is an injustice to him. Even if he wants to, he is still an individual. The one who really wants to pick peaches is the United States.
"I brought you here to establish an industrial advantage over South Vietnam. You and the Chinese in Vietnam are of the same ethnic group. I am bringing you this time to let you know how to do it. You will know it yourself when you face the same people from other countries in the future.
What should be done? I think it’s up to you to communicate with the Philippines, Cambodia, and Thailand in the future.”
Alan Wilson was holding a cigar in his mouth and expressed satisfaction with the recent activities of these big compradors. Someone has already reached out to Hanoi. With the Viet Minh preparing to take over, the Chinese businessmen in Hanoi are already preparing to flee.
But to be honest, if they wreak havoc on Hanoi and then withdraw their troops, will the French army be intercepted? From this point of view, some of the French military are worried.
In fact, Alan Wilson has an idea, but he does not have the ability to help. At this time, someone who is bold but will never be dealt with is needed to appear and respond to the evacuating French army to ensure that even if the French army is destroyed, they will not evacuate.
will be intercepted.
There was only one candidate for this job in the entire UK, and the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet far away in Cyprus sneezed. A son-in-law didn't have enough weight to convince his father-in-law.
But on this day, Alan Wilson received a telegram from his wife, saying that the French government's offer was different from her expectations, and asked her husband what he could do.
"I am in Saigon, South Vietnam. The French army will withdraw from North Vietnam on October 8th. The speed of South Vietnam will be slower, but it will not exceed 1955. France has colonized Vietnam for a hundred years. It is impossible.
So straightforward, recently the local military and I came to a common understanding and decided to sabotage the North Vietnamese before they evacuate, but the consequences of doing so may re-ignite the situation where the war has ceased."
"It would be the best thing if the British Royal Navy could appear outside Tokyo Bay to deter. But it is not easy to need help from us in the UK. I have an idea and need your father's help. And this matter can be discussed with you.
We need to bundle all the things at the same time. Since we need help from the UK, we need more money. This request is not too much."
"Now it is France that begs us, not the other way around. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to borrow the abilities of our fathers."
Pamela Mountbatten collected the telegram and decided to communicate with her father, Commander Mountbatten of the Mediterranean Fleet. She first asked if there were any of her father's subordinates in the Pacific Fleet.
"There are a few generals who were my subordinates when I was the commander of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia during the war. They are currently serving in the Pacific Fleet. My daughter, why are you asking this?"
When Pamela Mountbatten received a call back from her father, she felt reassured, "Father, I have something to help with now. Allen is in Saigon, and I am in Paris talking to France about the acquisition of Algerian oil.
The French are in contact, and some problems have arisen, and Allen said that the two issues can be discussed together."
After sending the telegram, Pamela Mountbatten anxiously waited for her father's call back, wondering if Mountbatten would help.
Although her husband said that her father was a political general who always had a flexible bottom line to deal with problems, this was the first time she had spoken to her father, and she didn't know what the result would be.
The call back came immediately. There were only a few names and military ranks on the telegram, followed by the sentence, "Wait for my news and the results. Just contact these generals."
Mountbatten first had to greet the Pacific Fleet and get approval from the Admiralty, and then take specific actions.
