Alan Wilson has been clearly hinted that he will make achievements in the field of diplomacy in the future. It is very normal for him to read the reports of the Soviet Union's TASS news agency. He is considered to be one of the first people to know that the first artificial satellite was launched on that day and live in the free world.
Looking at the newspaper with a stern expression, this posture made Pokina very embarrassed. At this time, Dragoon's mood was complicated. On the one hand, she cherished her current superior life, and at the same time, she had achieved such great achievements for her original motherland.
I was happy, but I just saw Alan Wilson looking like he was facing a formidable enemy and didn't dare to show it at this sensitive moment.
"Are you happy?" After a long time, Alan Wilson put down the report and asked Bokina sincerely.
"No." Bokina shook her head quickly, "Do you think Britain feels threatened?"
"No." Alan Wilson also denied it flatly, adding, "The Soviet Union has long been able to threaten Britain. The two countries are so close. It should be the United States that feels the headache now."
Britain has long been targeted by Soviet nuclear weapons, and now it is too late to feel the threat.
So it's not that Alan Wilson is too crazy to take things seriously, it's just the situation. The United States should have felt the threat from the Soviet Union for the first time since this year.
If before this, the United States had one eye on the Soviet Union and the other on Britain and France, then from now on, the United States should have focused its main energy on the Soviet Union.
"You were shocked just now." Pokina breathed a sigh of relief, admitting that she was shocked by that expression. "The Americans are being threatened, but you don't seem worried. You seem to be very confident in the technical capabilities of the United States."
"Yes, the foundation of the United States is still quite strong. The reason why it has ended up in this situation is entirely due to institutional problems." Alan Wilson curled his lips and expressed his contempt for the United States. There is no problem with the strength of the United States, but it encounters conflicts between the services.
It's similar to the contradiction between the Japanese navy and the army. It can't be said to be able to operate like an army aircraft carrier, but its destructive power is not bad at all.
The Air Force's strategic bomber fleet status has led to the U.S. Air Force's opposition to the development of rocket technology.
Why did the U.S. Air Force become independent? Because the Air Force's strategic bombers can take off from thousands of miles away to carry out strategic bombing and even attacks. This is something that the Army's combat model cannot include.
But if the Army relies on the development of rockets to encroach on space, and even through intercontinental missiles, it can complete the combat mode of nuclear attack thousands of miles away. Then why should the Air Force become independent?
The newly independent U.S. Air Force was very worried about this, so it simply took the attitude of not letting the missiles go through budget issues and frantically suppressed the Army's Ballistic Missile Development Agency.
However, as the Soviet Union's first artificial satellite was launched into the sky, the United States would definitely mediate the conflicts between the services, but it only adopted the method of sacrificing the Army. Even though it was stimulated by the Soviet Union and determined to speed up development. In the end, the will of the US Air Force won.
Among nuclear-armed countries, the United States is the only country whose Army developed intercontinental missiles first. As a result, intercontinental missiles were eventually placed under the control of the Air Force. Land and air strategic nuclear weapons in the land, sea and air trinity of strategic nuclear weapons are both owned by the U.S. Air Force.
This is the only one among the five permanent members. Regardless of China, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, intercontinental missiles are all assigned to the army.
"I'm leaving Europe and going back to take office." Alan Wilson said to Pokina that he wanted to return to his post. This was not a breakup, although it was inevitable. The main thing was to pay attention to the British space project.
Where is it?
Now that he had spent several months formulating a plan to deal with the economic crisis, as well as the maritime demarcation and Iceland's provocation, he no longer had the need to stay in Europe and was ready to return home.
Iceland is extremely unlucky at this time. Regarding some evil colonial empires that bully humans and animals in the European Community, peace-loving Iceland has been bullied. Apart from sending people to Europe to explain that they hope to lift the ban
, and also hope that Washington can intervene.
It has to be said that Alan Wilson has strangled the lifeblood of Iceland. He was not prepared to fight a cod war with Iceland, but directly banned Iceland's flagship products, and also prepared for trouble in Iceland.
Once Iceland does something irrational to British fishermen on the ocean, Britain will not do anything to Iceland, but the richest area in the world today, the royal territory of Newfoundland, might not be able to do anything. A few destroyers are nothing.
Extremely strong force, that is in front of Britain and the United States.
The United States, which has high hopes from the Icelanders, has no time to pay attention to Iceland at least now. The news that the Soviet Union launched its first artificial satellite, reported by the TASS news agency, has caused an uproar in the United States.
The Soviet artificial earth satellite, which is the size of a beach volleyball, is orbiting the earth every ninety-six minutes at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, beeping from time to time.
The sky is no longer safe, and the so-called powerful air force advantage of the United States has disappeared. For people in this era, entering space is a fantasy. When the news came, many Americans were already in panic.
The U.S. stock market, which was already in an economic crisis cycle, plummeted in response, as if the end of the free world was imminent.
The New York Times asked, "The Soviets couldn't even build a good refrigerator, so how could they send satellites into space? How is this possible?"
"This Soviet man-made satellite will stare at us from the sky at any time. The entire United States has been exposed to the eyes of the Soviets. We have no secrets and are visible at a glance." The Boston Globe report intensified the Soviet Union's launch of the first satellite.
Sputnik panic.
In the public opinion environment of the United States, the Soviet Union is an extremely backward country, not much different from a monkey, and not much different from a colony. What is the United States? Public opinion tells American citizens that the United States is a city on a hill, and the United States today is the leader
The core power of the world, the United States is the hegemon in science and technology. Only the United States has so-called technological creativity.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! American citizens who are immersed in this kind of public opinion now hear that the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space?
Eric Walker, the president of Pennsylvania State University, spoke seriously to reporters, "We are already a secondary world power."
"I think the consequences are very clear. The Soviet Union will dominate the world." Lieutenant General Doolittle, the Foreign Intelligence Advisor to the President of the United States, lowered his head, his glasses full of worries.
Washington Senator Henry Jackson wanted the president to declare this a day of national disgrace and public peril.
Fulbright of Arkansas said: "The real challenge we face goes to the very foundation of our society. It goes to our education system, which is the source of our intellectual and cultural values. The current administration's academic revitalization management plan is far-sighted.
People are uneasy.
The artificial satellite orbits around in space. It is a polished metal sphere with a diameter of 58 centimeters. It has four external radio antennas to emit radio pulses. Its radio signals are easily detected by amateur radio operators.
, its sixty-five-degree inclination during orbit caused its flight path to cover almost the entire inhabited Earth.
Radio monitors all over the world can monitor the signal on it. Listening to the beeping sound in the earphones, countless people in the free world are filled with silence.
The silent people certainly do not include Alan Wilson. He is a walking figure in the special relationship between Britain and the United States. He firmly believes that once the United States adjusts, it will catch up. The premise is to invest more, which simply means spending more money.
In order to reflect the father's love, let the son learn the principles of self-reliance and self-reliance so that he can thrive in the future.
There is no need for Alan Wilson to remind the United States what to do. Only when you realize it can it be your own, and no one else can do it for you.
In fact, the big deal is that the United States went from being arrogant and believing that it was ahead of any other country in any technology to suddenly going to the other extreme and elevating the Soviet Union's advantage in aerospace out of thin air.
So much so that Kennedy proposed during the presidential election to narrow the missile gap, that is, to deploy a thousand Minuteman ballistic missiles, which far exceeded the ballistic missiles possessed by the Soviet Union at the time.
This is also related to Khrushchev's ability to boast. Starting from 1957, the United States was frightened to death by a series of civil and military attacks.
The first artificial satellite did not actually have any scientific instruments. The only thing that could show its existence was that it emitted beeping radio signals, but other countries, especially the United States, did not know about it.
When we arrived in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, the whole world was still discussing the launch of the first artificial satellite. Public opinion in the United States had reached a boiling point. The two parties were accusing each other one after another. Elites in various industries had to comment on this moment.
Two sentences, otherwise you will fall behind the world trend.
Alan Wilson was not so troubled. He even had an in-depth exchange with Vivien Leigh when passing by Kuala Lumpur. Regarding Pamela Mountbatten's inquiry, Alan Wilson was also very calm, "I happened to come over to ask, our
No matter how far the space program has come, the launch of the Blue Light missile was successful this time. Although the range is not enough as an intercontinental missile, it should still be possible if it wants to go into space."
"The people in the United States don't know what to say now. They are very manic." Pamela Mountbatten held her belly, "You are not in a hurry at all."
"I think this matter is not as important as your having a baby soon." Alan Wilson pursed his lips to express his love for his wife, and asked Pamela Mountbatten's belly, "When?"
"That's it for the past few days." Pamela Mountbatten looked happy. This man knew how to say nice things.
"Then I'll wait until the child is born before going to the launch site." Alan Wilson made a choice after a short consideration. The Imperial Commissioner's mentality is very good. What's the use of being anxious when he's already behind? Just follow the plan step by step.
