British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1023: Great Old Ones

Pamela Mountbatten, who was living in Perth with her baby, received a telegram from London explaining her views on composite armor.

The successful entry of the Tiger gunship into the British Army sequence is a solid step for the Mountbatten Group's Lockheed route, but only one Tiger gunship is not enough.

Compared with Lockheed, which is famous for its air force equipment, Alan Wilson has nothing to do with the technical content of the air force. Of course, he can draw a shape that is not bad, but this is only the first step, turning it into a real thing A large number of researchers are needed to practice, otherwise Pamela Mountbatten will not manufacture wind tunnel facilities in Australia.

The army equipment is much simpler. The characteristics of the army are the standard equipment of a powerful country, but the army is often not obvious. In the field of the army, strong strength on paper does not necessarily mean a soul-stirring battle of annihilation.

But the navy is much easier. The navy is strong and weak like a natural moat. The German High Seas Fleet fought the Royal Navy Fleet in Jutland. Even if the exchange ratio wins, the overall strength is still desperate.

The Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the U.S. Navy, but was later hanged up by the U.S. to fight. The strength of the navy can often be deduced from the results before the start of the war. In the era of sailing battleships, there is still a possibility of being upset. In the age of steel, the victory of the weak against the strong does not exist at all.

However, the characteristics of the army are not obvious. Weapons are very important, the source of troops is very important, morale is very important, organization is very important, training is very important, and all aspects are important. To have a strong army, it is not enough to be technologically advanced. of.

It seems that the gold content of the army's weapons is not so high, but the gap between the weapons and the navy and air force needs to be made up in other directions.

Army weapons do not have such a high threshold, which is just right for the Mountbatten Group to squeeze into the military industry at this time.

Alan Wilson only knew the basics of composite armor, but that was enough for the Army's tanks.

As long as one experiment is carried out, the difference can be seen immediately. It doesn't have to be like drawing an airplane shell and first building a large wind tunnel.

Many indicators of the Chieftain tank are the indicators of the third generation tank, but because it appeared very early, it has become the most advanced and backward weapon. The Chobham armor will appear more than ten years later, and the Chieftain tank is a pure steel tank. make tanks.

In the field of tanks, the Soviet Union is the benchmark. Both the United Kingdom and the United States are catching up. It is better to rely on the United States to provide any favorable suggestions than to rely on itself, not to mention the fact that the diplomatic friction between the United Kingdom and the United States is still going on.

"Composite armor and explosive reactive armor?" Pamela Mountbatten gave the eldest daughter a look, asked her to discipline the two younger brothers, picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Governor's Mansion, "Uncle Slim, can you help me?" Busy, discuss with Australia, and ask for a few Centurion tanks for experiments, what experiments are now a secret."

"I really can't do anything about you. The new governor is about to take over. Well, I'll help you once before leaving office." Marshal Slim reluctantly agreed, "I'll communicate with the Australian military."

The Centurion tank is the main station tank that the UK is vigorously exporting. With the presence of Alan Wilson, the export will only expand and not shrink. Even the Centurion tank in Nigeria is ready to be converted into the foreign debt owed to the UK after Nigeria's independence.

There are also 143 Centurion tanks in service in Australia. Pamela Mountbatten wants to borrow a few for modification tests. This tank is perfect.

If it goes well, coupled with the successful experience of the Tiger gunship, the Mountbatten Group will become a reliable supplier of the British Army. It needs to eat every bite. It will first become a reliable supplier of the Army, and then it can spy on the military orders of the Navy and Air Force.

The Lockheed road designed by Alan Wilson for his wife also kept pace with the times. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, Britain no longer needed massive equipment orders due to the loss of its colonies.

The life of the military enterprises supporting the British Empire has also become difficult. There will be a large number of mergers and acquisitions of the large number of arms companies that existed during World War II.

This is a good opportunity for the Mountbatten Group, which has already swelled up in assets. The prestigious military enterprise is desperate and needs a rich and powerful takeover, and the Mountbatten Group can also use this to usher in transformation without having to sell raw materials. Instead of doing small things, turn to do some technical work, such as becoming a peer with Lockheed.

Although this is suspected of embezzling high-quality assets in the UK, it is better to hand it over to the Mountbatten Group than to die in obscurity, and maybe it can be rejuvenated.

An example is the de Havilland company. Isn’t the Comet airliner selling very well, and now it is the first to come up with a mature regional airliner. Although Boeing is catching up fiercely, de Havilland is still the world’s top civil aviation airliner.

In the headquarters building of Woodpecker Films in France, Ingrid Bergman, who is tall and wearing a white shirt, is preparing food, while Heidi Lamarr came out of the bedroom yawning and said with a smile, "Why do you need to prepare food, drink milk That's it."

Heidi Lamarr meant something, and Ingrid Bergman has a very vivid nickname, the Nordic cow.

"Is he awake?" Ingrid Bergman glanced at the first vase in history and asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm still drying the birds on the bed." Heidi Lama seemed to recall, "The man is so energetic in the morning, I almost want to wake him up for morning exercises."

Half an hour later, the two female presidents of Woodpecker Films watched Alan Wilson gobble it up obsessively, "You don't know how busy I am, and the French are not easy to get in touch with. I don't know why de Gaulle insisted on letting the Prime Minister visit Paris first. I thought about it, but fortunately Prime Minister Eden is willing to start the visit first."

"If you are so busy, it will be easier to come to the company less." Heidi Lamarr pierced the man's self-promotion.

"What are you talking about, Heidi." Ingrid Bergman said rather displeased, "Alan can come here at any time, and the door of the company is always open for him."

Heidi Lamarr couldn't help but rolled her eyes, as if her door wasn't open for this man.

After drinking a cup of tea, Alan Wilson officially entered the state of health preservation. He recovered a little from the physical strength he expended yesterday. He grabbed Heidi Lamarr's arm and pulled it into his arms and asked, "Is the door here open for me at any time?"

"As long as you think, when have I never opened up for you." Heidi Lama blushed and whispered, "As long as you ask, when have I refused."

It seems that there is really no one! Alan Wilson recalled the treatment issues, but he couldn't find any faults. San Fernando's full set is nothing to worry about.

"Oh, by the way, Lana's daughter, Cheryl, knows. Maybe she will come to Europe for a while." Alan Wilson can forget some chores, but Zodiac's request will not be forgotten, and the two female presidents will not forget. Knowing what happened to Lana Turner, they all showed some sympathy.

It is difficult to say who has a better relationship with the United States, Britain or France.

France is still in the stage of silently but slowly stripping away NATO's presence on its territory. The United Kingdom and the United States faced each other diplomatically because of the Iranian oil crisis, and even dragged Germany into the water.

Germany didn't need to be dragged into the water, but didn't he, the pro-European executive deputy minister of the foreign ministry, was there.

Cheap others are not as cheap as the dragoon sisters. Single-handedly confronting Germany and the United States, the status quo of our invincibility in the world is here. Even if we finally compromise, we can give an explanation to the citizens. It is not that our army is incompetent but the enemy is too cunning.

This is also fair to Germany and the United States. The United States gave Germany a flying coffin, and Germany repaid the United States with a seal. Both have a bright future, and no one has the right to blame anyone.

Regarding the visit of Prime Minister Eden, the French media commented that this is the victory of de Gaulleism~lightnovelpub.net~Since de Gaulle came to power, independence, a vocabulary that Alan Wilson is familiar with and can no longer be familiar with, has become the French people often can If you hear it, the implementation of Gaullistism will play a positive role in safeguarding France's sovereignty and independence, improving France's international status, and promoting European unity and the development of multi-polarization in the world.

For this reason, France is now similar to the Soviet system in some respects, such as the emphasis on face. De Gaulle himself did not make a return visit until a head of state visited France.

However, Britain does not pay attention to this kind of face project, at least Prime Minister Eden does not pay attention to it. De Gaulle hoped that Aiden would visit France first, so he came directly. However, when declaring it to the outside world, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will naturally emphasize that this is a visit to France at the invitation of Charles de Gaulle.

Britain and France, the two old rulers of the previous era, came together again. Prime Minister Eden received a warm welcome just after his arrival in Paris. This may be the most shocking visit in his life.

Although de Gaulle asked Eden to visit first, he also gave the most ostentatious welcome, and publicly stated at the first meeting that he would pay a return visit to the UK in a short time.

"Europe cannot be separated from the leadership of Britain and France. Only in this way can people see a peaceful, united and prosperous Europe." De Gaulle said to the gathered reporters, "We warmly welcome the Prime Minister's visit to France."

"The great influence of Britain and France on the current world cannot be denied." Prime Minister Eden also followed up and said, "The two countries need to adopt a consistent position on many issues in order to stabilize the world. Some issues may not be discussed in one visit. I believe the whole of the UK is looking forward to Mr. President's return visit to the UK."

The leaders of Britain and France both expressed their views one after another, and the entire Elysee Palace erupted into cheers.
