v2 Chapter 1170: Danger and opportunity coexist

Alan Wilson went on to say, "It should be emphasized that this confrontation originated from the deployment of ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey, which made the Soviet Union feel threatened. It led the Soviet Union to take the risk of deploying ballistic missiles in Cuba for countermeasures. Fortunately, the United Kingdom had previously The United States has not been made to use Britain as a missile base."

"Specifically about the situation in the Caribbean Sea, we put ourselves in the position of the United States to deduce the situation at the previous meeting. The preliminary conclusion is that the United States will definitely not allow such missiles, such as Turkey and Italy missile bases on the edge of the Soviet Union. That was successfully deployed. The first few days could be just a diplomatic move, and if it didn't work, the U.S. could end up threatening the Soviet Union with a nuclear war."

"No, does the United States have a way to intercept the nuclear missiles taking off in Cuba?" Profumo was shocked. This conclusion is too scary. Isn't this the result of a global nuclear war?

"I'm talking about the worst-case scenario. There may be a showdown. If such a situation occurs, I believe that Italy and Turkey will be the targets of the first round of nuclear strikes." Alan Wilson said without changing his face, "Of course the world's major No country can escape, it’s just a matter of sooner or later, Australia and New Zealand are still safe. Because the blue-light missiles deployed in Australia can’t reach the Soviet Union.”

"As for the submarine-launched version of the evil missile, because of the concealment of nuclear submarines, the range of 2,500 kilometers is enough to deal with the Soviet Union. There are still 70 strategic bombers in the mainland, which is enough to face the possible nuclear threat from the Soviet Union."

"Of course, these deployments are not enough to solve all problems. Once the United States and the Soviet Union really want to fight a nuclear war, the British mainland will not be immune to nuclear strikes, and the safe place is still Australia in the southern hemisphere."

Alan Wilson, in a sufficiently peaceful voice, introduced the deployment of nuclear war to the United Kingdom. It is also very clear that the UK has its own Trinity nuclear strike force, but due to distance reasons, a real war will not protect the UK.

Including Prime Minister Aiden and a group of cabinet ministers looking at each other, is this the mature plan that Whitehall came up with after comprehensive consideration?

Alan Wilson seemed to have nothing to do with him, and took out a stack of documents, "This is about the royal family and the government's plan to go to Australia to form a government-in-exile."

"If Cuba is the place to start a nuclear war, North America is not safe and not suitable for forming a government in exile, but Australia is safe enough, major Australian cities are outside the range of Soviet ICBMs, and the range of Soviet nuclear submarine submarine-launched missiles is not enough. ."

Of course the Whitehall meeting was fruitful. Didn't Alan Wilson come up with a plan for a nuclear war? Even the security of the royal family and the government-in-exile were taken into account. It can be said that they do their best!

It's just that the cabinet ministers in this government don't like it very much. Rabo Butler looked at his permanent secretary and joked, "Maybe it's not so serious, isn't it Ellen?"

"Of course, my minister." Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "This is just the worst-case scenario. It doesn't necessarily happen. I'm still quite optimistic. Maybe the final result is that the United States and the Soviet Union will Taking a step back and removing the missile launchers around the opponent is also a good result."

"But when it comes to planning, you always have to consider the worst situation, so you don't have to be in a hurry, right?"

When these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire cabinet meeting was light. Most of the content of the report just now was too heavy. Even though many Conservative cabinet ministers have experienced world wars, they could not help but spit in the face of the prospect of nuclear war.

No matter how cruel a world war is, in the final analysis, it requires cannon fodder to go to the front line to fill the life. For the powerful, the danger of war is not so great, but nuclear war is completely different. In front of the nuclear bomb, everyone is equal, and the poor are the poor. It doesn't matter if life is not life, but the life of the rich is not life.

Alan Wilson doesn't fully understand this kind of mentality of being strong outside and doing in the middle, but he can basically guess it.

Obviously pointing to another possibility, everyone compromised with each other, and the atmosphere of the entire cabinet was lightened, and there was talk and laughter.

The disintegration of the Soviet Union brought about a serious consequence, that is, Europe and the United States felt that they could force a country to submit without limit through economic and political strangulation, without paying any price.

This can be regarded as a kind of admonition from history, because it has been done successfully before, so if it is done once, it will be successful.

In a sense, this blind thinking also has dangerous prospects.

After the new Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet did not speak, Norman Brooke also began to ease the dignified atmosphere just now, "We still believe in the decision of the United States under our noses. In this prediction, the United States will rely on the most powerful navy in the world. , To carry out a comprehensive blockade of Cuba, the Soviet Red Navy is not strong enough, and even the Royal Navy's blockade cannot break through, and there is no way to face this blockade."

"In other words, the risk naturally exists, but it can still end." Aiden nodded in relief.

"Maybe the United States will take the opportunity to let the United Kingdom join in, but we are in Europe, drawing the attention of the Caribbean Sea to ourselves?" Alan Wilson said that the conversation changed, "I now particularly hope that a war will break out somewhere, It can keep Britain busy and avoid this potentially violent vortex."

"Haha! That's a really good idea." Aiden couldn't help laughing, "This way we can help justice and avoid being involved in such a big vortex."

A group of cabinet ministers laughed and the tension dissipated. Tomorrow has to go to work, Aiden ended the cabinet meeting, and Alan Wilson went home.

If anything, his face was more serious than before he came to Whitehall.

Going back and forth, Pamela Mountbatten was still waiting in the living room, waiting for her husband to return, and she didn't smile until a familiar figure appeared, "What's the matter, and let you go on the weekend?"

Reaching out and grabbing his shoulders, Alan Wilson looked straight at his wife and said, "Pamela, take the child back to Perth tomorrow."

"Ah? It's not too cold." Pamela Mountbatten was surprised and didn't understand what happened to her husband. "Didn't I already make a plan to go back in half a month?"

"Immediately, immediately, only Australia in the southern hemisphere is the safest." Alan Wilson interrupted with a serious face, "The Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles in Cuba, and if we can't reach an agreement, there is a danger of a world war. At that time, the British mainland is in the Within the range of Soviet land-based missiles, it would also become very dangerous.”

Alan Wilson explained the ins and outs of the Cuban Missile Crisis in an easy command-like tone.

"In this case, the mainland is not very dangerous, why do you still stay in the mainland. Come with me." Pamela Mountbatten was frightened by her husband's tone, and persuaded in a panic.

"What a joke, I'm a high-ranking official in Whitehall, how can I run at this time." Alan Wilson categorically refused, as if he wanted to live and die with the UK, "I've been very happy in my life, and there is a person who is centered on me. My wife, I have three children, I have boys and girls, I am not interested in money, but now I am very content, even if the worst happens, I can face it calmly."

"You're crazy, you're a man who goes to the colony with body armor, go with me tomorrow." Pamela Mountbatten was tearful, grabbing her husband's clothes, "You're only in your thirties, and you're living a good life. How to say that."

"Honey, there is still patriotism in this world." Alan Wilson calmed his wife and scolded, "Leave with the children and mother-in-law, and take good care of them."

No matter what Pamela Mountbatten said, Alan Wilson made up his mind and turned a deaf ear to his wife's words. In the end, the richest woman in the world threw herself in his arms and burst into tears, "You are amazing, you are not afraid of death..."

Alan Wilson, who was holding his wife, patted her on the back as if coaxing a child, and said deeply, "Thinking about it now, I still feel a little guilty about you. I should have been with you more before."

The mother's cry made the children look out of the room and whisper, "It doesn't look like a quarrel?"

"Of course not, I've never seen my parents quarrel." Pamela angrily scolded her brother's guess, "Maybe it was something that happened to bring them together. You don't look like my father is angry."

anger? It doesn't exist at all, Alan Wilson's face is indeed quite strange, full of plans.

"You cry like this~lightnovelpub.net~ The child will wake up." Alan Wilson was almost done, and began to comfort the person beside his pillow, "Actually, I also have a solution, maybe it can prevent the UK from falling into a vortex. Kidnapped by the United States. Dear, in terms of public opinion, you have arranged for so many years, this time it should be done. "

"I'll listen to you." Pamela Mountbatten promised with red eyes.

The construction of the information cocoon room is necessary. Due to the practical problems of the Malayan Chinese, the local public opinion mainly emphasizes that the British should stop the war, and any other voices must be suppressed. Alan Wilson will also officially let the local colonial government. help.

It also drew attention away from the Cuban missile crisis, as did the homeland and other colonies. But there is no Chinese in other colonies, so there is no need to pretend to be peaceful.

Naturally, it is my great British sublimation to live a second life, and to rescue India with an unprecedented move. As for the method, the slow-moving navy is used to delay time, and the police will appear after the underworld is over. It is very reasonable.

"Remember, don't believe any news unless it's official news from the British government." Alan Wilson stroked Pamela Mountbatten's hair, "Don't let the noise of fake news disturb your mood at a critical moment. "
