British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1023: Old Ones

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

The Tiger gunship successfully entered the British Army sequence, which is a solid step for the Lockheed route of the Mountbatten Group, but just 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 similar shape, but this is only the first step, turning it into a real thing. It takes a lot of researchers to practice, otherwise Pamela Mountbatten would not be building wind tunnel facilities in Australia.

The army equipment is much simpler. The characteristics of the army are standard for powerful countries, but the army is often not obvious. In the field of the army, the strength on paper may not necessarily lead to a heart-wrenching annihilation war.

The navy is much easier. The strength and weakness of the navy are like a moat. The German High Seas Fleet fought the Royal Navy Grand Fleet in Jutland. Even if the exchange ratio was victorious, the overall strength was still desperate. As a result, the German navy did not dare to go to sea again.

The Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the U.S. Navy, and was later hoisted up and beaten by the United States. The strength of the navy can often be deduced from before the war. In the era of sailing battleships, there is still the possibility of upset. In the iron and steel era, it is no longer possible to defeat the strong by the weak.

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, there is nothing unimportant in all aspects. 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 just knew the basics of composite armor, but it was enough for the Army's tanks.

Just do a single test and you can see the difference right away. Instead of like he's drawing the outer skin of an airplane, you have to build a large wind tunnel first.

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

In the field of tanks, the Soviet Union is the benchmark. Both the United Kingdom and the United States are chasing after. It is better to rely on yourself for any favorable advice from the United States, not to mention that the diplomatic friction between the United Kingdom and the United States is still continuing.

"Composite armor and explosive reactive armor?" Pamela Mountbatten gave her eldest daughter a look and asked her to discipline her two younger brothers. She picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Governor's Mansion, "Uncle Slim, can you help one? Busy, discuss it 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 going to take over. Well, I will help you once before I leave office." Marshal Slim agreed helplessly, "I will communicate with the Australian military."

The Centurion tank is the main station tank exported by the United Kingdom. With 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 United Kingdom after Nigeria's independence.

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

If it goes well, coupled with the successful experience of the Tiger gunship, Mountbatten Group will become a reliable supplier of the British Army. It will take one bite of the meal to become a reliable supplier of the Army first, and then it will be able to 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. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Britain no longer needed massive equipment orders because of the loss of its colonies.

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

This is a good opportunity for Mountbatten Group, which has already swelled in assets. The long-established military industrial enterprise is desperate and needs a rich and powerful pick-up man, and Mountbatten Group can also use this to usher in a transformation without selling raw materials. Go out of your way and do something more technical work, such as being a peer with Lockheed.

Although this is suspected of embezzling high-quality British assets, it is better to hand it over to the Mountbatten Group than to die in obscurity.

An example is de Havilland. Isn’t the Comet a very good deal, and now it is the first to take out a mature regional airliner. Although Boeing is chasing fiercely, de Havilland is still the world’s top passenger airliner.

In the headquarters building of the French Woodpecker Films, a tall Ingrid Bergman in a white shirt was preparing food, while Heidi Lamar came out of the bedroom yawning and said with a smile,

"What kind of food do you need to prepare, just drink milk."

Heidi Lamar means something, Ingrid Bergman may have a very vivid nickname, the Nordic cow.

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

"No, I'm still drying birds in bed." Heidi Lamar said with a seemingly aftertaste, "A man is so energetic in the morning, I almost wanted to wake him up for a morning exercise."

Half an hour later, the two female CEOs of Woodpecker Pictures watched Alan Wilson gobble with fascination, "You don't know how busy I am, the French are not easy to get in touch with, and the Prime Minister insisted on visiting Paris first, I really don't know how Charles de Gaulle did. Yes, but fortunately Prime Minister Eden is willing to start the visit first."

"If you're so busy, it's easier to come to the company less." Heidi Lamar pierced the man's self-promotion.

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

Heidi Rama couldn't help rolling his eyes, as if his door was not open for this man.

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

"As long as you think about it, when have I never opened it for you." Heidi Rama whispered with a blushing face, "As long as you ask, when have I refused."

It seems there really isn't! Alan Wilson recalled the treatment issues, but he couldn't pick out any faults, and San Fernando's full set was all right.

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

It's hard to say who has a better relationship with the U.S., the U.K. or France.

France is still at the stage of not saying a word, but slowly stripping away NATO troops stationed in the homeland. The United Kingdom and the United States have fought tit-for-tat diplomatically because of the Iranian oil crisis, and together they have dragged Germany into the water.

Germany didn't need to be dragged into the water, but isn't there him, the pro-European Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Cheap others are not as cheap as the cheap dragoon sisters. One-on-one battle between Germany and the United States, the status quo of my invincibility in the world is here, even if it is finally compromised, I can give an explanation to the citizens and 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 stuffed Germany with a flying coffin, and Germany returned a seal to the United States. Each has a bright future, and no one has the right to blame anyone.

For Prime Minister Eden's visit, the French media commented that it was a victory for de Gaulleism.

Since Charles de Gaulle came to power, independence, a word that Allen Wilson was familiar with and could no longer be familiar with, has become a word that French people often hear~lightnovelpub.net~ The implementation of de Gaulleism is to maintain France's sovereignty and independence, improve France's international status, and promote European unity and the development of a multi-polar world have a positive effect.

For this reason, France is now similar to the Soviet system in some respects, such as the importance of face. De Gaulle himself would only make a return visit when a head of state visited France.

However, the United Kingdom did not pay attention to this kind of face project, at least Prime Minister Eden did not pay attention to it. Charles de Gaulle hoped that Eden would visit France first, and he came directly. However, when making public announcements, 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 once again. Prime Minister Eden received a warm welcome just after arriving in Paris. This may be the most shocking visit of his life.

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

"Europe is inseparable from the leadership of Britain and France. Only in this way can people see a peaceful, united and prosperous Europe." Charles de Gaulle told the gathering of reporters, "We warmly welcome the Prime Minister's visit to France."

"The great influence of the UK and France on the current world cannot be denied." Prime Minister Eden also followed suit, "On many issues, the two countries need to take a unified stand in order to stabilize the world. Some issues may not be discussed in one visit. After the President's return visit to the UK, I believe the whole of the UK is looking forward to it."

The leaders of Britain and France both expressed their positions one after another, and the whole Elysee Palace burst into cheers.
