v2 Chapter 1135: reliable defence minister

Remember [New] for a second,! The tsr.2 attack aircraft jointly developed with Sweden, the Belfast strategic transport aircraft jointly promoted with France, and the joint fighter jet uniting Europe.

In his opinion, now is the right time to make full use of the advantages of the aviation industry accumulated by the United Kingdom in World War II. As for the gap between Germany and Italy in the aviation industry and the United Kingdom, the gap between the aviation industry and the United Kingdom is not a little bit, and taking the initiative to show good can get the greatest right to speak. .

The UK will feel financially struggling to advance so many projects by itself, even if there is no problem with the current UK economy.

Weapons are becoming more and more refined, and for a country of the size of the United Kingdom, it is no longer realistic to follow up. What's more, the UK now has more projects to advance than the UK remembered by Alan Wilson.

Isn't an aircraft carrier a big project? Nuclear submarines are also a big project. This is not a copy of the technology that the United States brought in for the benefit of the transfer. It is all their own research. These costs are all borne by the United Kingdom.

Marshal Mountbatten and his son-in-law came out together and watched the last few sealed giant-class ships unsealed. Necessary maintenance and improvements will be carried out, and then they will become a big toy for the royal family of the Middle East chieftains. Royal Navy, the last trace is gone. . . ”

"The old won't go, the new won't come, my marshal." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and comforted him without looking away, "Actually, there's nothing to feel sorry for. It's better to become the Royal Casino of the Emirate, or the water world. Dismantling is good. In fact, I believe that the Navy is very clear that in any way, the Giant class is really useless, and the low-intensity mission can be done by the Centaur.”

"I even sold several archipelagos in Malacca to them. Only in this way can I bind these small countries with rich resources but cannot survive alone in the world."

He is more than just good to these small countries. Over the years, he has tried his best to convince the British government that the Kingdom of Egypt cannot become a real power. Even if the Aswan Dam is completed and Egypt completes the initial electrification, it will be the end of the pattern.

"Your diplomacy is to constantly look for a community of interests to bind in a monarchy." Marshal Mountbatten paused when he said this, and had to admit, "But it seems to be very useful."

"Thank you, Pamela has also helped me a lot." Alan Wilson said very modestly, "It's my luck to have such a partner. Every time I think of it, I feel that God has treated me well, and I can only dedicate myself to The supreme authority, for the sake of the British Empire."

Mountbatten is noncommittal. The submarine-launched version of the evil missile is being assembled. Once the reliability is proven, the UK will speed up the construction of nuclear submarines.

"One more question, what exactly is the document you asked me to hand over to the Secretary of Defense." Mountbatten didn't know the reason for John Provermo's change of attitude. He rationally told him that he had better not be curious, but Mountbatten had a tailwind. The Marshal of Shun Shui really couldn't help it.

"Some investigation reports of private life, some clarification of rumors. Of course, as a defense secretary, this matter is still quite important. I will solve this matter immediately." Alan Wilson does not want to betray the rising star of the Conservative Party.

It's not wrong to describe John Profumer as a rising star, the defence secretary was born in 1915, look at the age of the other giants of this Conservative Party, Aiden in 1897, 189 Macmillan in four years, Huo Mu in 1903, Rabo Butler in 1902.

Just know what the position of the Conservative Party, John Prof. Mo, who was among the top four ministers of state in 1915.

In contrast, Harold Wilson of the Labour Party, the Labour Prime Minister who had been in power for a long time in the 1960s and 1970s, was born in 1916.

In terms of normal correspondence, the current defense secretary should be the leader of the party with Harold Wilson in the future. Even if he does not become prime minister, he is still a giant of the Conservative Party and will shine in British politics in the next decade or so.

It is a pity for such a person to be involved in the Soviet espionage case. He should play a bigger role.

Therefore, when John Prof. Mo was open to increasing military investment and was willing to make an understanding with the military, then he should not continue to treat this gentleman harshly. Of course, the Soviet espionage case will continue to be investigated, but the results will not be announced after sufficient weighing.

Alan Wilson is also going to exchange the captured Soviet spy for the British diplomat who was arrested because of the Pinkovsky case, but he will cut off the connection with John Prof. Mo and protect the British diplomat. Rising star.

Even at present, there are many benefits to having such a minister who is concerned about the immediate safety of British national defense. Isn't the number of new aircraft carriers increased by one more?

Aircraft carriers have been increased, nuclear submarines and a series of various military projects can be taken step by step.

I mean, isn't Alan Wilson trying his best to win over European countries to save costs? If the UK pushes forward, it may cost 100 pounds, and Germany and Italy may cost 100 pounds. The total cost of wrangling for a long time may soar to 200 pounds, but it belongs to the United Kingdom. The burden of funds is also less.

At this time, the UK has plenty of time to wait for the European Joint Fighter to enter service.

The Iranian oil crisis has come to an end, and the Federal Republic of Germany has obtained the benefits it wants. At this time, the German government urgently needs to restore relations with the United Kingdom. The cold relationship between the two countries is not conducive to the unity of Europe.

As for Italy, the last time Alan Wilson went to North Africa, he talked quite well. He was happy to see Italy help Britain and maintain its influence in Libya, an important oil-producing country in Africa.

Not with a world war, Italy will change the dilemma of pauper imperialism. The situation in Italy is somewhat similar to that in Japan, where there is almost nothing in the country.

At that time, when he claimed to be one of the six major powers in Europe, even I, the Qing Dynasty, could not fool me, which shows the embarrassment of my own.

Britain's willingness to balance France's influence with Italy on the interests of North Africa is also what Italy is happy to see.

At the year-end EU Ministerial Meeting, the foreign ministers of various countries gathered together in Brussels. The meeting was divided into two parts as usual, the overseas part and the European part. The former paid more attention to the legitimate interests of various countries overseas, mainly the countries with colonies. It is Europe's own business.

Feeling that Hepburn was not easy to grow up in the Netherlands, Alan Wilson had a good impression of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and took the opportunity to communicate with the Netherlands. The dog skin plasters in Dutch Guiana may not think about the possibility of independence.

And before and after the independence of British Guiana, the local opinion polls were handed over to the Netherlands. "That is, London will see the opportunity quickly, otherwise those people will almost depend on the United Kingdom."

"France also has this problem. If you don't believe me, your French intelligence services should check it out, isn't it?"

"For such a worthless colony, even annexing Venezuela is better than lying on us and sucking blood."

While Alan Wilson and diplomats from various countries treated the colonies with an open-minded attitude, Rabo Butler was giving a passionate speech at the European Community Foreign Ministers' meeting, calling for European unity.

Once common goals are identified, European countries will cooperate in the most efficient way. British and French leaders will jointly respond to the crisis through communication and cooperation. The goals of Britain and France are the same, the unity and development of Europe, and the restoration of the vitality and economic status of the European countries before the war.

Europe can only be strong if it is united. This is not only a matter of Britain and France, but also involves Germany and Italy, as well as the vital interests of European countries.

When the foreign ministers of various countries spoke in Rabo Butler, they all nodded to show that you are right. The big frame is no problem, but the industry overlap and the specific steps to cooperate with each other will definitely not be as smooth as the big frame.

However, cooperation in the military field is often easier than in other fields. Alan Wilson's promotion of European defense autonomy is actually based on the economies of other European countries to pay for the development of the British aviation industry. It is not a day or two.

He has been preparing for this for the past two years. Finally, at this European Community meeting, the foreign ministers of Britain, Germany and Italy jointly announced that they would adopt a united attitude and cooperate in the development of a replacement, f-4, f- 104. New fighters for fighters such as Canberra and Marauder.

The United Kingdom and Sweden also signed a contract to support Sweden in the development of attack aircraft in the face of large-scale armored clusters from abroad, and jointly develop and deal with threats in this regard. The United Kingdom will use the prototype of the tsr.2 attack aircraft as technical support and jointly develop with Sweden. .

As for the French side~lightnovelpub.net~ Britain and France also agreed to continue the implementation of the Belfast strategic transport aircraft project with a more united attitude. Dassault and French Aerospace will connect on behalf of France and the United Kingdom. At the same time, France also attracted the German mbb company and the United Aviation Technology-Fokker company to join the development together.

The United Kingdom is naturally responsible for the most critical engine part. As for the French requirements, they are roughly the same as those of the United Kingdom, with a large-capacity cargo hold, the rear channel **** is at the rising tail, and the straight wing and turboprop engine are used. Perform cargo and troop transport missions, operate directly from frontline positions, and evacuate casualties.

During flight, the cargo area is pressurized and maintained at a constant temperature by an integrated air conditioning system.

The three countries of Britain, the United States and France have finalized the demand and clarified the order intention for a total of 270 aircraft. The United Kingdom and Germany each have 100 aircraft, and France has ordered 70 aircraft, although France and the United Kingdom have a common demand for strategic transport aircraft.

But Germany, which takes into account the supply of West Berlin, obviously needs a larger number.

There is a voice in the Federal Republic of Germany that wants to give up West Berlin and exchange some land with the GDR, but there is only such a voice, and this voice will never be taken seriously.

This move by the Federal Republic of Germany also has the hope of cooperating in the field of the air force and making up for the differences caused by the Iranian oil crisis with the United Kingdom.
