v2 Chapter 1031: Capital injection Land Rover

"Six-party talks?" Aiden looked at one set of standing deputy ministers after another, and said with some amusement, "Which six parties?"

"Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and India, this is the idea that came up after learning that the minister's visit to India was a complete success." Of course, Heidi Rama is also partly credited for this, but others don't need to know.

Decades later, the Six-Party Talks with Iran was similar to the Six-Party Talks proposed by Allen Wilson. Of course, China was missing and India was replaced. It must be admitted that during this time, India did have more international prestige than other countries.

Even if the United Kingdom wants to invite China, the United States will oppose it. In the six-party talks, Britain, France, the United States and Germany are definitely more inclined to India, and the Soviet Union is at most anyone.

The United States has been hostile to India since the 1970s. Although it feels uncomfortable with India's attitude toward the Soviet Union, compared with its real Soviet allies, it actually has a good impression of India.

Aiden pondered for a moment, "Britain, France, the US, the Soviet Union and Germany plus India? Things seem to be getting more and more complicated."

"If there were only the United Kingdom and the United States in the world, first of all, the United States must not become bigger. Now, there are no other countries, and the United States has already done something to the United Kingdom. Although it is not good for the United Kingdom to complicate things, the United States insists on making the United Kingdom There is nothing we can do to squeeze Iran out." Alan Wilson sighed, "Sometimes we also have to talk to the enemy, and occasionally let some good people know their mistakes and correct them."

"Of course this is just a filing, which can be implemented or not, but as a diplomat, the necessary preparations are still to be made. If the United States can stop the Iranian oil crisis in a smooth manner, we don't have to make things so complicated. , but if you have to prove to your father that you have grown up, then don't blame us."

Alan Wilson's complexion was heavy, and it seemed that he was full of helplessness. After all, he was a pro-American executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was not because he had any prejudice against the United States, although he did have prejudice, but The United States has gone too far, and will not save any face for the United Kingdom.

This appearance also resonated with the three people present, especially Macmillan. Now that Britain is no longer the world's hegemon, the United States continues to humiliate the old father, which is indeed a bit too much. Eat meat by yourself and leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink, so it's so ruthless.

Even if they get along in different places, if the UK knows the situation it is facing today, it will definitely harvest the US eight times in advance.

But isn't it a show of fatherly love for a father to beat his son? How can a son treat his old father like this in turn?

"Ms. Fultseva of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union is coming soon. Should we inform the Soviet Union now?" Eden asked Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke.

"This can be reported to the Soviet Union through official channels." Norman Brooke said with a faint smile, "Let's wait and see how Washington will react when the Soviet delegation visits the UK."

Alan Wilson, who went to Africa to personally contribute to the decolonization, and the French are considered to have the same disease.

Of course, France is not without good news. France successfully tested a nuclear bomb two months ago. The French government put forward the idea of ​​developing nuclear weapons as early as the year when Britain tested nuclear weapons. This idea was put on the agenda of the cabinet meeting of the Mendès-France government. When Faure was in power, he decided to develop the production of element 94 and organized a factory for isotope separation.

The Schiller cabinet then formulated a five-year plan for nuclear energy testing. The government of Felix Gaillard at the end of the Fourth Republic decided to build the first atomic bomb. After de Gaulle returned to power, in order to compete with the United States and break the US nuclear monopoly, he accelerated the pace of developing nuclear weapons.

In 1960, all this work came to fruition. In February, France successfully tested its first nuclear bomb in the Sahara Desert, breaking the nuclear monopoly of the Big Three in World War II. De Gaulle’s independence took a big step forward.

As the weather turned warmer, Pamela returned to London with her three children in Perth, and brought back experimental data on composite armor and external explosive reactive armor, as well as a scrapped Centurion tank bill, indicating that she was responsible for this The country has sacrificed too much.

"Six cars were scrapped, and 300,000 pounds was gone." Pamela Mountbatten held the bill, like an angry little daughter-in-law, and she was too.

"Who said there are no capitalists of conscience in this world? My wife and my country have paid too much." Alan Wilson held his wife's face and kissed him. "The entire British Army should be grateful for this sacrifice."

The ex-factory price of the Centurion tank is US$135,000 in US dollars, and about 50,000 pounds in pounds. Don’t think that this price is very cheap. The Centurion is a tank at the end of World War II. Among the contemporary tanks, only the Tiger King costs more than the Centurion tank.

Speaking of King Tiger, there is actually one in Hellmann Manor, which is stored as a collection, and it is stored in a warehouse with the same Mercedes-Benz that Alan Wilson got from the head of state when he made contributions to the British occupation area.

This time, Pamela Mountbatten will not only bring back the test data of composite armor, but also have some business matters to discuss, such as talking to Land Rover about capital injection, investigating the British air-conditioning and refrigerator industries, and subdividing and transferring to Malaysia. ya.

The richest woman is still quite busy. The huge loss of 300,000 pounds made her want to get back the loss.

Today's existing British colonies have one thing in common: the climate is hot. Whether it is Africa, the Middle East or the Far East, they are all near the equator. In addition, Australia's own climate is also very hot, and Australia's low pressure is well-known.

Depending on this reality, the manufacturing industry in Britain or Malaya should switch to refrigeration equipment. There is no problem technically. The United Kingdom, a dignified and old imperialist country, cannot even manufacture refrigerators and air conditioners, but no matter how advanced it is, That's not necessarily the case. The technology can only be said to be available, not advanced.

The well-known European electrical brands are either in France or Germany. Alan Wilson has never heard of the well-known local air-conditioning brands in the UK. There seem to be several refrigerator brands such as McLaren, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin in the refrigerator industry.

There are no resounding mass brands, so the suggestion to my wife is that the UK is not strong in this area, and the technology can be directly transferred to Malaya for production, and the production base should be covered by standard formulation and patents.

"As for Land Rover, my dear, if Maurice Wilkes' conditions are too harsh, we can open a new production line under the brand of Land Rover just like when we talked with Mr. de Havilland." Alan Wilson put his arms around his wife's delicate body Follow the temptation, "Leave the design to me, you trust me."

Currently Land Rover's most popular model is the Land Rover Defender, which has a boxy shape, but it looks a lot like the Mercedes-Benz Grand G decades later. It looks tough and its fuel consumption is estimated to be impressive.

Alan Wilson believes that although he can only copy shells, he can completely reduce the dimensionality of ordinary models.

It may not work on cutting-edge weapons, but it is not a problem to use it on family cars, and there is even a surplus. Cars of this era don't care about streamlined shape.

At present, Land Rover only has the Defender model. He has launched a new series. For example, is it not possible to invest in the Southeast Asian market?

It doesn't matter if the rich chiefs in the Middle East are dissatisfied. He has also seen Range Rover, and it can produce finished products if it is not bad.

You don't even need a Range Rover, you can just mobilize contacts in the Middle East and buy the Land Rover Defender.

"I still don't trust you enough? I have given birth to three children for you. This is the greatest trust." Pamela Mountbatten had a resentful face. If not for the presence of all the children, she would let her husband know what she said now. See inner beauty.

After a long-awaited wedding night, the couple split up. Alan Wilson went directly to the Ministry of Defense, took the data of a full set of composite armor and external reactive armor brought back by Pamela Mountbatten, and walked into his father-in-law's office. .

Pamela Mountbatten went to Land Rover headquarters to discuss capital injection with Land Rover founder Maurice Wilkes~lightnovelpub.net~ The principle of composite armor and external armor is not complicated, it is simply a matter of daily life Three-plywood, one layer of glue and one layer of board are glued together. Even the Mountbatten Group in Australia can get better protection than conventional homogeneous armor, and once the British local scientific research force is put into research, it will not be a problem.

The mystery of composite armor lies not only in the special elastic resistance of armor made of other materials, but also in the ingenious combination of armor made of other materials and steel armor. The high elasticity of the composite armor, used as the material of the armor interlayer, such as alumina, zirconia, etc., not only has high hardness, high temperature resistance, and good thermal shock resistance, it is many times higher than steel, and can effectively resist armor-piercing bullet metal The impact of the jet.

Under the high-speed impact, the solid material becomes a rheological body, and the plasticity is greatly increased, just like the mud washed by a high-pressure faucet.

"I asked the Royal Armor Research Institute in Chobham to confirm. If the authenticity of the data is indeed confirmed, then the issue of composite armor materials is worth studying." Marshal Mountbatten held the information that was like a book to him. , although he didn't quite understand it, but his innate self-confidence made him agree.

"Chobham? Royal Institute of Armor?" Alan Wilson heard, isn't this the real birthplace of ceramic armor?

At the time of the success here, Pamela Mountbatten also showed a level-faced side at Land Rover headquarters. After the wholly-owned acquisition was rejected, she proposed capital injection and then opened a new production line. .

"Mr. Morrison, it is very normal for you to have doubts. Mr. de Havilland also had it many years ago. But look at the de Havilland company today. Who would not want to cooperate with a powerful ally?" Pamelamon Button said with a gentle smile, "I can help Land Rover go out faster."
