v2 Chapter 1203: royal domain of rhodesia

Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is compared to the Lightning fighter, which has been underestimated by the British Air Force since it first came out. The J-8II, a beautiful man in the air, is worth copying.

Although this fighter is at best a second-and-a-half generation, it is still a success compared to the Lightning fighter. When the J-8II came out, a certain big country was not considered an air power, and it was also a fighter that had fallen behind since its inception.

But that is compared with the third-generation aircraft of the United States and the Soviet Union. Apart from the J-8II war against the F22, the idea of ​​having to comfort yourself in difficult times, and only relying on the era when the J-8II came out, it can completely beat the same high-altitude and high-speed Lightning fighter. .

Alan Wilson happened to have a deep memory of the handsome man in the sky of a certain big country, even surpassing the later J-10.

It's a showdown. Among the keyboard warriors who proved that the J-8II can fight against the F22, there is also the current deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the United Kingdom cannot avoid serving the second-generation aircraft as a technical reserve, then it is better than the handsome man in the sky.

Allen Wilson probably knows the development of fighter jets. Simply put, first-generation and second-generation aircraft are not a problem for most industrial countries. If you want, you can try them in Brazil in Latin America and India in South Asia. For example, the Tejas fighter .

It is the third-generation aircraft that really stops the general countries from forming a big filter. For Britain and France, it is already quite difficult to serve typhoons and gusts of wind... When it comes to the fourth-generation aircraft, even Russia can't stand it.

In the era of second-generation aircraft, European countries can give it a try. If the Lightning fighter is not too ordinary, it is already destined to change to another environment such as India. Alan Wilson would not think about taking out the J-8II. is bad.

"Is this the result of Pamela's design?" Marshal Mountbatten took the design sketch, looked at it suspiciously, and then changed the topic, "But to be honest, it does look beautiful."

Marshal Mountbatten was also impressed by the beauty of the handsome man in the air. This has to be said about the traditional ugly aesthetics of the United Kingdom. Obviously, the technical reserves are sufficient and the performance indicators are good, but the weapons that come out are awkward no matter how you look at them.

"I am also very shocked, Pamela's industry has been able to contribute to the country." Alan Wilson is decisive, completely disregarding his wife of the richest man, and it has only been half a month since he got the design, and he has just completed the demonstration. , In theory, it is indeed a very good layout.

When bureaucracy and capital are combined, this situation will appear. It is not incomprehensible that Alan Wilson dared to come to the full-time commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces with a picture. Alan Wilson represents bureaucracy and Pamela Mountbatten represents The arms dealer, Marshal Mountbatten represents the military, and a family can form a perfect logical closed loop.

"It adopts an all-metal semi-monocoque fuselage, air intakes on both sides, and aerodynamic layout of double ventral fins under the delta wing. It is far more than the layout of the previous Lightning fighter. In fact, this fighter can be regarded as a part, if not all. A generation of fighter jets, this has already been demonstrated, and most experts in the integrated joint aircraft manufacturing body think so."

"Sounds good. The Air Force really doesn't appreciate Lightning fighter jets very much." While talking, Mountbatten's eyes fell on the sketch of the handsome man in the sky again, which was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it.

One of the most famous things about the Lightning fighter is that it is famous for its traditionally weird British design. If there is a specific problem, no one can tell, but as long as you take a look at it, you will feel that this fighter is very weird.

Lightning fighter jets do not satisfy the air force. Another way is to purchase them from abroad. However, this is not a good thing for the current British aviation industry. Everyone knows that foreign purchases will hurt the country’s aviation industry. It is not that the UK does not have an aviation industry. The aviation industry is still quite strong.

Both strategic bombers and strategic transport aircraft have demonstrated their value. After these few months, it has also been proved that these models are what the UK needs. Not to mention anything else, after a certain major country announced a ceasefire, the Vulcan strategic bomber will come to the rescue The news from India has already spread, and the spread is strictly controlled within India. This is another problem.

"Looking at a fighter that is pleasing to the eye proves that it is excellent in aerodynamics and layout. It is weird to look at, and it is not comfortable to fly." Alan Wilson said good things to the handsome man in the sky, "The most important thing is that the production company Extremely reliable."

"Reliable? Yes, it is indeed very reliable." Marshal Mountbatten was taken aback, but he had to admit, would his daughter be unreliable? If he denies it, doesn't that mean that he, the active marshal of the United Kingdom, is also unreliable? "But you have to come up with a prototype, otherwise, the blueprints won't be convincing."

At the critical moment, Marshal Mountbatten still believed that his family's interests coincided with those of the country, and decided to give his youngest daughter a chance to benefit the society.

The previous acquisition, Pamela Mountbatten, who almost swallowed half of the British airlines, finally had a chance at this time. Prove whether the Lockheed way is feasible. Just helicopters and composite armor are small things after all. The road to copying the F15 is not smooth. In many ways, it is indeed facing great difficulties to manufacture the F15.

Pamela Mountbatten has said to Alan Wilson before that the F15 project has gone too far.

Alan Wilson made second best for his wife, and copied the beautiful man in the air, but there is no way, he must be more realistic.

The commander-in-chief of the British armed forces is optimistic, plus the Minister of Defense Profumo, who has already been controlled because of the relationship between underage men and women, as long as Pamela Mountbatten can get the prototype out, Alan Wilson believes that the handsome man in the air will appear over the UK.

In terms of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Britain’s biggest gain was not the finalization of a large arms sale order in India, nor was it taking the opportunity to blow up uncooperative tribes in Kenya. The former is no more than an arms sale, and the latter can only delay the effect.

Although Kenya was the base camp of the previous British African plan and there were white communities, compared with the local black population, it still could not achieve long-term stability.

The biggest gain is to rob Lubumbashi of Northern Rhodesia. Now that the Cuban missile crisis has been settled and the battle on the roof of the world has died down, it is time to take stock of the results.

This colony is rich in mineral resources, covers an area of ​​nearly 900,000 square kilometers, is all white, and has a small population. It should establish a special relationship with the British mainland in the new era.

This was said a long time ago, and now is the time to surface. People like Alan Wilson and Grace belong to the relationship of grabbing a lot of handles from each other.

On this day, Grace traveled through several stations and arrived in London with George Will, the High Commissioner of Northern Rhodesia. Alan Wilson and the other party looked at each other, tacit understanding.

Alan Wilson knew Grace's purpose, and Grace knew Alan Wilson knew his purpose. Africa's only predominantly white colony is about to complete a major transformation.

"Parliament and military organizations like Ustasha and Chetnik, there can only be one left." Alan Wilson nodded at George Will, and then put conditions on Grace, "Always make London feel at ease Yes, what do you think?"

Grace frowned. This was really a difficult question for him, and he said, "Why didn't Sir Allen say it before? I wasn't prepared at all."

"I'm also afraid that you are not easy to control. How can you make London feel at ease? If you keep the parliament, the British garrison will be responsible for the military. If you keep the military organization, you will have to hand over the air power. Otherwise, if you go back on your word, there will be unpleasant things in the future. Things are not good for each other."

Alan Wilson sighed, "I know this is a difficult decision, but I can't help it."

"Keep Ustasha and Chetnik! The air force is handed over to the British garrison." Grace said firmly without thinking too much, "We don't need the parliament, but we must keep our organization."

"Okay!" Alan Wilson nodded and picked up the phone, "Dixon, is the minister there? There is some very good news, which will be a big addition to the minister's glorious resume. Of course, okay, I am waiting for the good news .”

Most of the conditions were negotiated before and did not cause any obstacles to the two parties. For these Slavs in Northern Rhodesia, there is no peace of mind that Ustasha and Chetnik will not be disturbed by things like the parliament.

The current population of Northern Rhodesia is only so small~lightnovelpub.net~What's the use of a parliament? Might as well be realistic.

It's time for the best sublimation this time, and it's time to reap some rewards. This even alarmed Aiden, who was preparing for the Anglo-American summit meeting. Will North Rhodesia, an inland colony, officially become an inalienable part of the UK? ?

"It's really good news. I believe the citizens will be very happy." Aiden said happily to himself. Although he could not compare with the post-war Labor Party Prime Minister Attlee on the economic level, but on another level, he reawakened the After the United Kingdom's prestige as a world power is confirmed, the general election can start after the end of the Anglo-American summit meeting.

On December 3, the Conservative Party cabinet formally accepted Northern Rhodesia's application to become a royal domain. After discussions at the cabinet meeting, the fact that Northern Rhodesia and Newfoundland royal territories had the same status was recognized, and a treaty was signed.

During this process, Aiden blocked all voices of doubt, whether they came from Washington or Moscow, and legally confirmed the fact that Northern Rhodesia would not secede from the United Kingdom.

From this moment on, the possibility of independence for the Northern Rhodesian royal domain no longer exists. Officially renamed the Royal Domain of Rhodesia to distinguish it from the Colony of Southern Rhodesia.
