One minute and thirty seconds later, Alan Wilson had arrived at No. 10 Downing Street, three and a half minutes faster than his normal walking speed, and Norman Brooke had entered the meeting room, also under the urging of the supreme authority, Alan Wilson Ren Wilson entered the cabinet meeting as an expert on Indian issues.

Holding the document formulated from the beginning of the forward policy, it states the conclusion that the war will break out and India may suffer losses, so as to establish itself as an expert on Indian issues. After all, he will be in charge of Whitehall in the next year. It is very important to have the confidence of the prime minister and cabinet ministers.

The evaluation document in October was no different from the current situation, which made Aiden sigh, "Alan, what do you think we should do. You have foreseen the current result."

"Immediately give India all-round support, including diplomacy and public opinion. Now India has suffered a crushing defeat. All previous auras will be disillusioned. It is no longer a big country with great reputation, nor is it the leader of the third world or the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement."

Allen Wilson said without thinking, "Then publicly stated that military intervention is required. The Mediterranean Fleet is near Aden, mobilizing British troops stationed in Africa to prepare for combat."

"Is the reaction too violent?" Minister of Defense Profumo swallowed a mouthful of spit, and military intervention is about to take place. Is it necessary to form an expeditionary force? Thinking about the consequences, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Dear Minister of Defense, we need to create a strong image of the UK through this friction. From the perspective of the UK, we must show a tough attitude when necessary. Otherwise, many countries really think that the era of the UK is over. As for matters in the subcontinent, Britain has both the reason and the obligation to intervene."

"The most important thing is that Nehru is in the current situation, even if he doesn't want to, he must accept it."

"The subcontinent has been fighting frequently since ancient times. It is difficult to comment on right and wrong. It determines the rise and fall of many empires. Not to mention anything else, there is a saying that the empire on which the sun never sets is essentially an Asian country, which is enough to reflect the importance of India to Britain."

Alan Wilson looked immersed in the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets in the past, and unfolded a grand narrative in front of the cabinet ministers. Although he himself certainly did not believe it, maybe Aiden believed it. This prime minister was the last Antiques of the era.

"At that time, the East India Company established a firm foothold in the Bengal region and annexed the entire subcontinent based on this. Since then, the Mughal emperor saw that the situation was over, and the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets was achieved, and Queen Victoria also became Empress of India. During this period, we also faced Maratha resistance, which ended in a complete victory.”

"I don't understand why the government now has doubts about interference in the subcontinent. It seems that once it interferes, Britain will suffer bad luck. It was only 20 years ago. I arrived in British India from Xiangjiang in disgrace. At that time, the Pacific War had already passed. Hong Kong has also fallen, and British India has become a place that the British tried their best to protect, and finally became the base of the British Empire’s counterattack.”

"When Japan surrendered, the whole of India experienced the joy of victory in the war. It can be said that it is full of time, and the state of vigorous vitality and all things competing is still in front of us. After just 20 years, could it be that the subcontinent is so small? Has it changed into our burial place?"

Norman Brooke was a little surprised. This is the first time he discovered that the cabinet secretary he chose not only has the potential to be a civil servant, but also has the potential to be a politician? What he said was very good. He clearly saw Aiden's expression, and he was obviously immersed in it.

Rabo Butler also saw the change in the Prime Minister's expression, and said directly, "It's always bad to get involved in a war."

"My minister, think about the Cuban missile crisis. Why did the United States use the navy to carry out demonstrations? Because the transfer of the navy is the slowest, and there is enough time for the Soviet Union to consider the cause and effect." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "The United Kingdom also This can be done, we dispatched the Royal Navy, saying that we were going to transfer troops from British Africa, and it would take at least a month to reach the subcontinent, and the war would be over by then."

"It can be basically judged now that this is a disciplinary war. Apart from embarrassing India, it will not have much consequences. The consequences are mainly concentrated in invisible places. What India will say internationally in the future may not be like India. It turned out to be so well-received.”

Aiden flipped through the October report on the forward policy, and his heart was already moved. He said, "Alan, Norman is very optimistic about you as the cabinet secretary. You are very serious. Do you want to make suggestions to us?"

"Of course!" Alan Wilson replied decisively, "I think not only us, but also the United States and the Soviet Union will immediately express concern and support for India. If the Prime Minister has doubts about this, he can communicate with President Kennedy."

Now is the right time to communicate with the United States. I believe that the US embassy in India can also see the chaos in the capital New Delhi. The Indians are so panicked. Could it be that the United States is indifferent.

Reasonably speaking, the United States will not stand idly by. If the United Kingdom intends to give India some support, the United States will be happy to see it. The key is the attitude of the military.

Soon Marshal Mountbatten arrived at No. 10 Downing Street, bringing with him the attitude of the military. The full-time commander of the British armed forces did not support his son-in-law's proposition, but completely considered the national interest, and believed that Britain should take advantage of this opportunity. Show some love for the former colony.

"This opportunity is also very suitable for Australia. The Australian Navy's brilliant-class aircraft carrier HMS Victory has been docked in Perth for a long time." Marshal Mountbatten suggested, "We can communicate with Australia and act together. The advantage is that it can be demonstrated that it is a joint operation. Let us stand out in the UK. And it can also bring Australia closer."

Combining the professional opinions of diplomacy and the military, Prime Minister Eden also made his own judgment, "It is true that an action should be taken to prove the status of the United Kingdom. Although France has fought in Algeria for so many years, it finally suppressed the resistance. , we need an action to have the same effect."

"The Prime Minister is right!" Rabo Butler was the first to express his agreement, as if in another time and space, he firmly supported Eden in launching the Suez Canal War.

Saving India suddenly became the mainstream of British public opinion, and was brought to the forefront of public opinion by major newspapers and periodicals. In fact, the affairs in India have always been a hot spot of British media's long-term attention, but it was robbed by the Cuban missile crisis some time ago, and now it is just returning to the public's attention.

While creating public opinion, Rabo Butler declared the attitude of the British government to the outside world. Simply put, Britain will never ignore it and will use all its strength to help India in order to achieve the goal of ending the war. However, the Hong Kong Free Transit Port Status cannot be erased...

At this time, India finally enjoyed Dad's love again after more than ten years. Nehru no longer has the resources to refuse. All he can say is that the international community is on India's side.

A day later, the Australian government responded by sending a Tejas-class aircraft carrier to work with the Royal Navy, and the two countries will form a joint fleet to support India.

In the official announcement of the British Foreign Office, Alan Wilson explained this move as a move by the UK to stop the continuation of the war, rather than a sideways move, "We hope that the war will end and peace will come to the world again. This is the British goal." Purpose."

While the British Foreign Office used neutral language to cool down, the military announced the mobilization of two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, two Eagle-class aircraft carriers, two Centaur-class aircraft carriers, three cruisers, eight Valiant-class destroyers, and four weapons The US-class destroyer, together with the HMS Intrepid nuclear submarine and a large fleet of eight conventional submarines, went to East Africa to board the British troops stationed in Africa.

"If Prime Minister Nehru does not object, the British marines will land in Bombay. Keep India safe."

The British Empire, like the U.S. Navy a month ago, used the Royal Navy as the main force to assist India.

This navy with nearly a hundred warships began to assemble, making other countries feel terrified, as if the empire on which the sun never sets came back, and the old imperialism was invincible.

"Many people are talking about it now." Princess Margaret leaned on her brother-in-law's arms with a relaxed face, and this warm embrace made her very nostalgic. "

"How is it possible! The navy will go to East Africa first, and it will take a month to wait for the British troops stationed in Africa to assemble and board the ship~lightnovelpub.net~ This does not count the voyage from East Africa to the subcontinent. Does the East African garrison take time to leave the camp? Doesn’t sailing take time? It’s normal to delay a little time due to some things on the way.”

Alan Wilson, who was hugging his sister-in-law's delicate body, explained, "Isn't this giving others time? By then we will gain international reputation, and we will have a bright future for each other."

"It turned out that it was just saying that we would support India, not really go." Princess Margaret rolled her eyes at her brother-in-law, "Then why are you acting like you want to go to war? It's better to do nothing."

"What do you know, the UK is of course suitable for a conservative attitude towards international affairs, but it can't always be unresponsive." Alan Wilson corrected his sister-in-law's opinion, "Pig tactics have been successfully used by people in ancient and modern warfare. The **** is snuggling against the wall, making you unable to grasp the tail, and finally it has nothing to do with it, and it can’t manage to give you a bite with sharp teeth, and it won’t let go.”

"There is no risk. It is better for the UK to continue to stay dormant after passing this hurdle to gain international prestige."

"Excellent Executive Vice President!" The sister-in-law complimented with a smile, and then whispered softly, "Pamela is not here, I will take care of you for her, but I am a princess, so you should tell me straight to the bone first."
