v2 Chapter 1172: The calm before the storm

Thimaia sneered at him and said, "If this plan came from someone else, there may still be a possibility of discussion, 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 commanded a battle with real guns? It’s not because of your beautiful face and tongue-tied mouth. For your promotion, I once resigned Once, it's a pity that it didn't stop your official luck."

Admiral Thimayya, the former chief of the Indian Army's general staff, has always had dissent over India's military adventures. Until it was replaced last year, the current Thimayah is actually no longer a real power general.

Unlike Lieutenant General Kaur, a newcomer like Lieutenant General Kaur, although Thimaia spoke fiercely at this time, there was not much voice of approval.

This angered the lowly senior Kaur, thinking that he was cheating on the old, "You'd better make it clear, this is a war meeting, not a parliament that can make personal attacks at will. My appointment letter was signed by Prime Minister Nehru himself. For this reason, you should resign as much as possible, but this time, no one will persuade you to take it back."

When Kaur was promoted to the post of Chief of Staff from Major General of the Fourth Division, Thimaia strongly opposed him, believing that he was exaggerated, full of fantasies, and had no actual combat experience. .

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

Nehru retained Thimayya at the time, but he did not change his appointment, and last year, he dismissed Thimayya's army chief of staff.

Thimayya is not against the attack, but this plan full of loopholes makes the Army Chief of Staff feel the fear of doomsday, showing courage forward policy? In his eyes it's just a pile of shit.

Even if Mountbatten returns to India to formulate a battle plan, it will not be so wishful thinking.

This is the moment that decides the fate of the country, and he cannot remain silent any longer. He volunteered to participate in this combat meeting, and came forward to give a big reason. However, except for the sympathetic eyes of Lieutenant General Singh, he took a little comfort, the rest were indifferent cold eyes and contempt at the corners of his mouth. laugh.

"Admiral, you are no longer the chief of the general staff." Lieutenant General Kaur said with a sneer, "I asked you to come to the meeting, just to be polite, not when you point fingers at India's brave move. You are so cowardly. , Don't you feel ashamed?"

Thimaia didn't seem to hear it, and said to the Minister of Defense Menon: "Mr. Minister, wake up from your dream! The enemy is not vulnerable, nor will he never fight back. Think of the Korean War, I don't want to say , but I can't help but say that they are stronger than the Indian army."

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

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

The last efforts of the former Chief of General Staff were ignored, and all the Indian generals who participated in the meeting were full of disgust in their eyes, which made Thimayah take all his strength, and the Minister of Defense Menon let him leave, which crushed his last a straw.

Timaya stood up tremblingly and left the conference room of the Ministry of Defense where he was not welcome. No one cared, let alone retained him, where he had served for more than ten years. He indifferently faced the old general who was swept out of the house.

As he approached the door, he suddenly turned around and shouted in a majestic voice, "You son of a bitch, you will be shot one by one."

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

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

Of course, it has been cleared by Nehru a lot. 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 looking at the content of the meeting. In the waiting hall, he disclosed the situation to Marshal Mountbatten and Patricia and his wife.

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

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

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

"Dear Senator, I'll take it as if I didn't hear it. It's better if you don't do anything that will bring shame to the House of Lords." Alan Wilson said with a cold face, "As for this matter, if it weren't for this one now. Time, we can provide all support except 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 have agreed with his daughter to take Edwin away in the name of her mother's recuperation.

"Marshal, maybe there should be a plan to rescue India. Let's talk later." Alan Wilson raised his wrist, revealing the unpretentious Patek Philippe, about to board the plane, the waiting hall is not one to talk about this. good place for things to happen.

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

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

"What de Gaulle behavior?" Alan Wilson moved under his wife's back, patted Pamela Mountbatten on the hip in a low voice, "Do as I tell you, this is a good opportunity. "

Pamela Mountbatten smiled. She was not an unforgettable peerless beauty, but she smiled brightly and nodded vigorously, "I will start when I get there."

After hugging for a while, there were no more onlookers. Alan Wilson let go of his wife's body, and the two waved at each other like a lucky cat. Pamela Mountbatten entered the passage with the child.

It was both superficial and instinctive that Alan Wilson watched his wife disappear without moving. If you can't do this, how can you eat in front of so many actresses?

At this time, Alan Wilson lifted the state of looking at his wife and went directly to Mountbatten's house. It was Patricia who was driving, joking about the scene just now, "The two of you are in such a good relationship."

Alan Wilson didn't feel embarrassed at all about the serious aunt's ridicule, "Marriage requires husband and wife to manage with heart."

Pedestrians in London still 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 a half-day leave and came to send his family on the plane, and did not forget to take the opportunity to discuss with Mountbatten , how to take chestnuts in the heat of 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 about it."

"Alan, what consequences 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? Alan Wilson said in his heart, of course, he was beaten to the ground, and the prestige accumulated since independence melted like ice and snow.

"This matter must be mixed in, not for India, but an opportunity to demonstrate British influence." When Alan Wilson was speaking, he really wanted to ask how much **** left in Britain from World War II. If not, take the Lee-Enfield rifles, older than his dad, will do the trick, India doesn't pick them anyway, they're still in service in the 21st century.

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

"No!" Alan Wilson, who is well-versed in the way of two-faced people, denied it~lightnovelpub.net~ but felt sorry for his conscience. He really couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense on the issue of India, and added, "A few 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 time of Alexander the Great."

"It doesn't matter, Marshal. The point is that it's an opportunity to increase British influence. If it's the Soviets using some sort of forward policy, that's a scary sight to think about, but what about the Indians? We still have to do a good job in India. People prepare for defeat, and then expect a miracle to happen."

"But if the miracle doesn't happen, then we must 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."

Since Profumo was caught in the Soviet espionage case, he has been completely controlled by Alan Wilson, just like the Prime Minister controls Emperor Xian of Han.

The world at this time is like the tranquility before the storm. There are two conflicts that can shake the world are brewing, the Cuban missile crisis that shakes the first world and the second world, and the decisive battle to the top of the Himalayas that shakes 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 still ambitious people who have to be hot in such a dangerous event.
