"It's a wise decision." Alan Wilson was prepared, and immediately agreed with his immediate boss. "In fact, the looming hostility of the United States towards the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth has lasted for many years. This is an open secret, only because the British India, Burma, and Sudan became independent one after another, so it didn’t show too much. Now the United States may not be able to wait. Specifically on the Iran issue, we must not forget that there is the Soviet Union. If the Americans want to come hard, it is not so easy. Withdrawing from Iran without saying a word, that doesn't exist."

"In fact, the United States chooses Iran as a place to put pressure on the United Kingdom, which is better than the Suez Canal or the Malacca Strait."

Alan Wilson still expressed confidence and expressed optimism about this round of diplomatic friction.

The discussion this time is to drag on for as long as possible, and at the same time, at the diplomatic level, with France, and even the Soviet Union when necessary, to resist this round of attacks by the United States.

"Although we don't want to fall out with the United States, we must give the citizens an explanation." Prime Minister Eden finally nodded. "Only by fighting can the interests that the United Kingdom deserves be preserved. Otherwise, nothing will be gained."

"I'm just afraid that the military pressure will increase." Alan Wilson quietly tested whether the current government has the idea of ​​disarmament. When he came back, he also took a look at the conscription in the Pacific Territory.

Taking advantage of the current opportunity, I reported directly to the Prime Minister. After the merger, the British Pacific Territory has a population of more than 400,000, and an army of 30,000 to 40,000 has been assembled to replace the overseas troops stationed in non-important colonies. Relieve the pressure on the sheer size of the British military today.

"It is even possible to disarm 50,000 troops and use these South Island soldiers to supplement. In terms of physical condition, I have seen local islanders who are stronger than our soldiers. And the main ethnic group of the South Island group The Malays are so different.” Alan Wilson was full of admiration when he described it, “It is obvious that they are all one ethnic group, but there has been an island evolution.”

Islandization? After all, the prime minister and the foreign minister are old people and don't know much about new knowledge points.

Alan Wilson had to explain what the characteristics of islandization are. When a species migrates away from the mainland and lives in an isolated island environment, there will be evolution of gigantism or miniaturization.

The evolutionary trend in rodents is to get bigger, while carnivores, lagomorphs and artiodactyls are dwarfed. Among mammals that colonized islands, there was a tendency for large animals to become smaller and small animals to become larger.

Some elephants have even shrunk by as much as 70 percent compared to their mainland counterparts after geological changes. The law of island size is inversely proportional to the area of ​​the island. If the immigrant animal exceeds a certain proportional size, it will develop towards miniaturization; if it is less than this proportional size, it will develop towards large size.

The main population of the entire Austronesian group is the Malays in Southeast Asia. The average height of Indonesian Malays is less than 1.6 meters. Even when Alan Wilson was recruiting the army, he relaxed the conditions for conscription.

However, the Austronesians in the Pacific Islands have undergone a huge evolution. Their average height and weight are higher than their counterparts in Southeast Asia. Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Minister Macmillan listened with gusto. success.

Since the physical fitness is absolutely excellent, it can be used as a garrison in the East African colonies, or it can be placed in the Middle East to share the housing pressure of the British army, and it can even be disarmed in a certain sense.

Marshal Mountbatten, his father-in-law, did not object to the issue of disarmament. What he objected to was cutting off weapons and equipment through disarmament. Mountbatten was very much in favor of cutting personnel. After all, with the population base of the UK, it is simply a joke to maintain a force of 800,000 troops all year round.

For another country, it is known that a large country has a population of 670 million, which is 13 times the population of the United Kingdom, and has always maintained a standing army of 10.4 million?

When the current government came to power, Eden once said that the size of the army should be appropriately reduced. And Mountbatten had told Alan Wilson before that the new government intends to reduce the army to 700,000. This time Alan Wilson brought the situation to the issue of disarmament through the narrative compiled by the Austronesians.

Sure enough, the Prime Minister was very interested in this, "We also talked to Marshal Mountbatten, and the Marshal seems to have misunderstood this."

"I think the marshal's misunderstanding should be laying off technical equipment, rather than reducing personnel." Alan Wilson explained to his father-in-law, "Military development is changing with each passing day. Once a certain project fails to keep up, it may cause a tragedy. Sexual consequences, from the British perspective, although the arms race is not what the United Kingdom wants, but it has no choice."

These remarks made Aiden very satisfied, and left an impression that Alan Wilson knew the general situation. The reason was that he worked for the country and did not shirk his responsibilities. He was indeed a pillar of talent cultivated by Whitehall.

Regarding the formulation of foreign policy, it is naturally up to Alan Wilson, the foreign secretary, Macmillan. It could also be that Prime Minister Eden himself is conducting the mentorship.

Taking this opportunity, Alan Wilson went to meet with Marshal Mountbatten to inform him about his views on disarmament and the progress of various equipment.

Marshal Mountbatten was very happy with his son-in-law's visit and asked about his daughter's life in Australia. "Pamela is worried that the child is too young to adapt to the climate in London. It is really gratifying. She is also a mother now."

"Encountering it is the luckiest thing in my life. Sometimes I wonder if I saved the world in my previous life." It is even more fortunate that it has been so successful in words and deeds, but Alan Wilson didn't say this.

Marshal Mountbatten laughed out loud, and asked instead, "Your visit this time seems not to be a success, and Macmillan won't have any opinion."

"What does he think? He's just a minister. Well, I mean, the prime minister has been paying special attention to diplomatic work. Even if he has opinions, the prime minister's opinions are more important."

Alan Wilson made a slip of the tongue for a moment, and quickly rounded up his words, changing from the perspective of Whitehall and the cabinet to the perspective of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, and concealing the views of Whitehall. But how could this be hidden from Mountbatten, who grew up in the upper class, "You people in Whitehall are happy to create conflicts between the prime minister and the ministers."

"Even if we don't create it, they still have conflicts." Alan Wilson shrugged, "It's the same with politics."

At present, the British military has a lot of installation plans, the Army's chief battle tank is used to replace the centurion tank, the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier and nuclear submarine construction plan, and the air force also has tsr.2 attack aircraft, Belfast strategic transport aircraft plan . and the Predator attack aircraft program in service on aircraft carriers.

"Duncan believes that missiles are omnipotent, and there are signs that the United States and the Soviet Union are also developing strategic missiles." Marshal Mountbatten talked about the deployment plans of various military services, and then said, "Many people think that under the development of early missiles, Some weapons are outdated and not worth continuing to develop."

"The theory of missile omnipotence is a nonsense conclusion. I am in charge of the aerospace project." Alan Wilson snorted, "It is well known that ministers are laymen when it comes to weapons. Churchill is like this. Not as good as him."

Alan Wilson has no impression of the tsr.2 attack aircraft and the Belfast strategic transport aircraft. It seems that these two items should have been cut off during the process of the British creeping back. He wants some specific performance data, Mountbatten accepted.

"If it is terminated due to cost issues, you can consider conducting joint research with European countries." Alan Wilson took the Air Force's equipment plan and joked with his father-in-law Mountbatten with a smile.

If the plan in his hand is given to the Soviets, I believe that the Soviets will get it no matter how much it costs.

Alan Wilson will also be more interested in the Belfast strategic transport aircraft plan, because it is too large, the prototype has been produced, in order to be able to transport the army's heavy equipment such as large-caliber artillery, missile systems and armed personnel, etc., so that it Load about two hundred fully armed personnel~lightnovelpub.net~Belfast "uses a T-shaped vertical tail, the maximum take-off weight can reach 190 tons, the maximum load can reach 54 tons, and the power adopts Roller Royce's "Tyne" rty12 engine uses Hawk Sidley's four-bladed aluminum alloy propeller.

If you want to say something about the fly in the ointment, it may be picked on. This is a propeller strategic transport aircraft. Like the Soviet Tu-95 strategic bomber, there are four propellers arranged on both sides of the wings. I don’t know if this is the reason why it was not favored by the British military, but these are all technical adjustments and can be improved. .

If Alan Wilson wants to forcefully push this strategic transport aircraft, the method is also very fake. Marshal Mountbatten is the supreme military commander of the British armed forces. The way to impress his father-in-law is to use the Belfast strategic transport aircraft when it encounters difficulties. Let the wife make the purchase and lower the price. The father-in-law judges whether the British military wants to equip this strategic transport aircraft.

Then the way to save the tsr.2 attack aircraft and the Belfast strategic transport aircraft is that the former seeks joint research with Britain and France, while the latter needs a powerful and financially strong group that can take over for the country.

Most importantly, it is best for this group to have a good relationship with the head of the military. Alan Wilson believes that the relationship between Pamela Mountbatten and Marshal Mountbatten is fairly good.

"When will the flying coffins of the Federal Republic of Germany be delivered?" Alan Wilson was very distressed. If Germany hadn't suffered such a big loss on the flying coffins, there would be no European cooperation model for the subsequent typhoon.

Now that the relationship with Germany is not good, the British Liu can only choose to warm up with the French newspaper group. It happened that Charles de Gaulle led France. A few days after returning to China, Alan Wilson began to travel frequently between the two sides of the English Channel to warm up for Charles de Gaulle’s visit to the UK. .
