v2 Chapter 1172: calm before the storm

Timaya sneered and said, "If this plan came from someone else, maybe there is still a possibility to discuss it, but once you participate, the situation will be completely different. In just ten years, you have been promoted from a major to a lieutenant general. Sitting on the throne of the chief of staff, what are you? Have you ever commanded a battle with live ammunition? Isn’t it because of your pretty face and glib mouth. For your promotion, I once resigned Once, it's a pity that it didn't stop your official career from being prosperous."

General Timaya was the former Chief of Staff of the Indian Army and has always had objections to India's military adventures. Until he was replaced last year, the current Timaya is actually no longer a powerful general.

Unlike Lieutenant General Kaur, an upstart, Timaya spoke fiercely at this time, but there was not much approval.

This irritated Kaur, who had low qualifications, thinking that he was relying on the old to sell the old, "You better understand, this is a combat meeting, not a parliament that can conduct personal attacks at will. My letter of appointment was signed by Prime Minister Nehru himself. For this reason, you resign as much as you can, but this time, no one will persuade you to take it back."

When Kaul was promoted from major general of the Fourth Division to chief of staff, Timaya strongly opposed him, thinking that he was exaggerated, full of fantasy, and had no actual combat experience. He was really incompetent for a position second only to chief of staff. .

But Nehru categorically vetoed his opinion and directly signed the letter of appointment. For this reason, Timaya asked to resign in a fit of anger.

Nehru retained Timaya at the time, but in the end he did not change his appointment. Last year, Timaya was dismissed from the post of Chief of Staff of the Army.

Timaya is not opposed to the offensive, but this plan, which is full of loopholes and whimsical ideas, made the chief of the army's general staff feel the fear of the doomsday, showing a courageous forward policy? In his eyes, it's just a pile of shit.

Even if Mountbatten returned to India to formulate a combat plan, he would not be so wishful thinking.

This is a moment in which the fate of the country will be decided, and he cannot be silent any longer. He volunteered to participate in the combat meeting, and came forward to state a lot of reasons. However, he got some comfort from Lieutenant General Singer's sympathetic eyes, and the rest were indifferent cold eyes and contempt at the corners of his mouth. laugh.

"Admiral, you are no longer the chief of staff." Lieutenant General Kaur said with a sneer, "I asked you to come to the meeting just to be polite, not to criticize India's brave actions. You are so cowardly." , don't you feel ashamed?"

Timaya didn't seem to hear it, and said to Minister of Defense Menon: "Mr. Minister, wake up from your dream! The enemy is not vulnerable, and he will never fight back. Thinking about the Korean War, I don't want to say , but I have to say that they are more effective than the Indian army.”

This last sentence angered all the senior generals present. Immediately, scolding sounded from the oval conference table: "You are not worthy of being a soldier!"

Menon just blinked his thick eyelids, without even raising his head, he waved and said, "Go, you are really old."

The last effort of the former chief of staff was ignored, and all the Indian generals who participated in the meeting were full of disgust in their eyes, which made Timaya exhausted all his strength. Defense Minister Menon let him leave, which crushed him in the end a straw.

Timaya stood up tremblingly, and left the meeting room of the Ministry of National Defense that did not welcome him. He had served for more than ten years, and no one cared, let alone persuaded him to keep him. He faced the old general who had been kicked out indifferently.

When approaching the door, he suddenly turned around and shouted majestically: "You sons of bitches, you will be shot one by one."

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Alan Wilson, who had gone to Whitehall to ask for leave, returned home and sent his family members and mother-in-law Edwina to the airport. Pamela's sister, Patricia and his wife also came out to see him off.

In his hand, Wick handed it to him, the telegram sent by the ambassador to India, and the content of the Indian defense meeting in one night was in the hands of Alan Wilson. Before leaving British India, he had consciously To lay mines.

Of course, it has been cleared up by Nehru a lot, and as time goes by, its role will become smaller and smaller in the future, but this high-level meeting record of the Indian Ministry of Defense still appears in his hands.

On the way to the airport, Alan Wilson kept watching the content of the meeting. In the waiting hall, he disclosed the situation to Marshal Mountbatten and the Patricia couple.

"War seems inevitable?" Mountbatten is very interested in India. He said that he is the last governor of British India, although this is not a very memorable journey. "When will it start?"

"Maybe right away, maybe a few days later. I don't know!" Alan Wilson forgot when the war and the Cuban Missile Crisis officially broke out, but it was either two days earlier or two days later. The difference was not big.

"If war is really going to break out, what is our position in the UK?" Patricia's husband, John, was also attracted to the attention, and asked, "The world is so dangerous, I want to leave."

"Dear Senator, I just pretend I didn't hear it. You'd better not do something that would shame the House of Lords." Alan Wilson said with a cold face, "In terms of this matter, if it weren't for this Time, we can offer all support but help. But not now!"

The mascot of the House of Lords did not know the inside story of the government, but Mountbatten already knew about Cuba, otherwise he would not agree to his daughter taking Edwina away in the name of his mother's recuperation.

"Marshal, maybe we should formulate a plan to rescue India. Let's talk about it later." Alan Wilson raised his wrist, revealing an unpretentious Patek Philippe, and he was about to board the plane. Not a single person in the waiting hall talked about it. great place to do things.

Pamela Mountbatten took care of the children and looked relaxed, but in her eyes she was just a husband pretending to be relaxed. His eyes were full of reluctance. When the time came, Pamela Mountbatten called to her husband and wanted a parting hug.

This scene made Edwina and Patricia couldn't help laughing. Even so, Pamela Mountbatten still ignored her and waited in place with her arms until Alan Wilson came over and she hugged her man He whispered in his ear, "Why don't you come with me?"

"What de Gaulle act?" Alan Wilson moved his hand down his wife's back and lightly patted Pamela Mountbatten's buttocks and replied in a low voice, "Do as I told you, this is a good opportunity. "

Pamela Mountbatten smiled. She is not an unforgettable beauty, but she smiled brightly at this time, and nodded vigorously, "I will start when I get there."

After hugging for a while, there were not a few onlookers. Alan Wilson let go of his wife's body, and the two waved at each other like a lucky cat. Pamela Mountbatten took the child into the passage.

Alan Wilson watched his wife disappear without moving, which was both superficial engineering and instinct. If you can't even do this, how can you make a living in front of so many movie queens?

At this time, Alan Wilson released the state of looking at his wife, and went directly to Mountbatten's house by car. It was Patricia who was driving, and she joked about the scene just now, "You two have such a good relationship."

Alan Wilson didn't feel embarrassed at the ridicule of the serious sister-in-law, "Marriage requires the hard work of both husband and wife."

Pedestrians in London still have to do what to do. They don’t know the truth of the world at all. This kind of ignorance may also be a kind of happiness. Alan Wilson took half a day off to send his family members to the plane. He didn’t forget to take the opportunity to discuss with Mountbatten , How to take advantage of the heat this time.

Most people in this world don't even know that there are two conflicts brewing, but as an insider, Alan Wilson must clarify his father-in-law's attitude, "How ignorant people are, they don't know anything."

"Alan, what do you think India's forward policy will lead to." Mountbatten asked, "Since you have learned the inside story, you must have a way to deal with it."

as a result of? Allen Wilson said in his heart, of course he was beaten to the ground, and the prestige accumulated since independence melted like ice and snow. All the leaders of the third world and the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement are all goodbye.

"This matter must be involved. It is not for India, but an opportunity to demonstrate British influence." When Alan Wilson was speaking, he really wanted to ask how much rags left over from World War II in Britain. The Lee-Enfield rifle, which is older than his father, can make up for it. Anyway, India doesn't choose it, and it is still in service in the 21st century.

"You don't seem to agree with India's combat effectiveness." Mountbatten could see that his son-in-law was insincere.

"No!" Alan Wilson, who is well versed in the ways of two-faced people, denied it, but felt sorry for his conscience. He really couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense on the Indian issue~lightnovelpub.net~ added, "How many times For thousands of years, when the Indian army was at its most effective, it was called the British Indian Army. The last time it was named in history can be traced back to the era of Alexander the Great."

"That question is irrelevant, Marshal. The point is that this is an opportunity to enhance British influence. If it was the Soviets who used some kind of forward policy, it would be a horrible sight to imagine, but what about the Indians? We still have to do India well Prepare for defeat, and then expect a miracle to happen."

"But if the miracle doesn't happen, we have to consider how to maximize the interests of the UK. This requires a good attitude from the Ministry of Defense. Of course, I don't think it is a problem for the respected Minister of Defense, Mr. Profumo."

Ever since Profumo was involved in the Soviet spy case, he has been completely controlled by Alan Wilson, just like the prime minister controls Han Xiandi.

The world at this time is like the calm before the storm. There are two conflicts that can shock the world are brewing, the Cuban Missile Crisis that shocked the first and second worlds, and the decisive battle on the top of the Himalayas that shocked the third world.

And people all over the world still don't know anything about it, and they don't even know that there are ambitious people who still want to make a fuss about such a dangerous event.
