After the decisive battle at the top of the Himalayas, the change in Pakistan's attitude is only the most obvious of the many direct effects of the war.

In fact, in terms of the two hard indicators of Pakistan’s population and land area, it is normal to not beat India, but as an offshore balance base, even Pakistan, which has lost Bangladesh, is also qualified, not to mention that Bangladesh is still in Pakistan’s hands. The power to fight is no joke.

Now that a certain big country has proved that India's impressiveness is nothing more than a paper tiger, Pakistan's thinking that India is nothing more than that naturally leads to a change in attitude.

Of course, Pakistan, a weaker side, sees Big Brother teaching its opponents, but is eager to try, so there may not be any good fruit to eat. Just like Ukraine thinks that the United States can humiliate Russia, so can I. India's losing temper on the roof of the world does not mean that it will endure being looked down upon by Pakistan.

Since India's independence, nationalism has been very high. Nehru was also coerced by this kind of public opinion, so he refused to give up an inch of ground, thinking that diplomacy could make a certain big country retreat.

Now that the war is over, Indian nationalism has not improved. Pakistan humiliates India at this time. There is a high probability that India will not let it go.

The secretary general of the cabinet had a grimace on his face, and the slight expression on his face surprised Makins, "Alan, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if the Indians have a good opinion. From our point of view, can we carry out an offshore balance?" Alan Wilson took out a cigar and lit it, puffing, "Makins, you know, war It will bring demand, and even if it doesn't, it is the UK's duty to keep the world in balance."

Chaos is a ladder. It is normal for Alan Wilson to think so. If India lives too well after independence, doesn’t that mean that Britain’s colonization of India was wrong? From this point of view, we should also thank a certain big country.

"My friend John, I haven't been back to London for a long time." Alan Wilson blurted out, "Convening a meeting of the Colonial Commissioner, I want to track down the deficit of overseas companies. It's too much, and the transfer payment game is addictive right?"

A lot of colonies that don’t make money have been thrown out, but instead they start not to make money.

The oil pipelines in South Sudan have been repaired. Is there no oil in the pipelines? It also made up for the loss of the Kenyan riots. The Indians who suffered the loss have all returned home. Where is there any loss?

Makins nodded, but did not leave, still looking helplessly at the supreme authority, Alan Wilson first said, "The matter of the strategic bomber has been decided. The current national defense needs of the UK are not suitable for the strategic bomber." The Vulcan bomber is enough. There may be room for some improvement on the prototype, and the new project will not be considered.”

Maggins has come here several times to be a lobbyist for the Air Force, but the military expenditure of the United Kingdom is so much a year, and Alan Wilson has nothing to do. There is already a surplus of two hundred strategic bombers in the UK. Regardless of the existing number and strategic targets, these bombers are completely sufficient.

In fact, with the improvement of missile performance, some short-legged problems of British strategic bombers have been made up for, and air-launched missiles have improved Britain's air power.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at several powerful countries in a few decades. You use Tu95, I use H6, and he uses B52. Everyone has a bright future.

The H-20 is not in a hurry. There are no occasions to use the various black technologies of the Cold War in the United States that are more expensive than gold. Of course, he has no objection to Britain keeping its strategic bombers. Didn't it send out a few squadrons to Australia? Why not do it if it can save costs.

However, Whitehall has professionally assessed the potential of strategic bombers, mainly the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, and believes that further investment is no longer necessary.

This is not like the navy. Because Indonesia has accepted the support of the Soviet Union, the navy now has Australians to pay for it. It is good that the air force can maintain it. Many targets can be replaced by larger and larger fighter jets.

Makins said whatever he said, trying his best to maintain the duties of the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of National Defense, but was overruled by Alan Wilson and joked, "If you are an official of the US Department of Defense, you still have some reasons to persuade me. After all, the strategic bombing of North Vietnam is now It's not Britain, it's America, but we won't be in that war, so there's nothing we can do about it."

The main reason is that the strategic bombers placed in Australia have already met Australia's needs. This is what Australia thinks, and he has nothing to do.

"Well, it seems that the Air Force is destined to be disappointed." Makins smiled wryly, "Who will let the Navy be taken care of? By the way, I heard that British immigrants in Australia are donating money. Your wife will not have anything to do with this matter. Bar?"

"Are you kidding?" Alan Wilson flatly denied, "Pamela is busy with her own business, so she has no time to do such boring things. She has absolutely nothing to do with this matter."

Pamela Mountbatten is indeed busy mining, but the mining site is not Australia, but New Guinea Island. In later generations, New Guinea Island is rich in mineral resources, with large reserves of gold, copper, oil, and natural gas; Gera, Papua Province, Indonesia The Sberg Gold Mine is one of the largest gold mines in the world. In addition to the reserves of more than 3,000 tons of gold mines, there are also huge reserves of copper mines; the Kepamono Oilfield in the Bird of Paradise Peninsula is one of the largest oil fields in Indonesia.

The richest woman got advice from the Secretary-General and found the Panguna Copper-Gold Mine, taking her position as the world's number one mining giant to a higher level.

After all, for such a long time, Alan Wilson has let his wife buy public opinion and let others donate, so he always has to show his sincerity.

Besides, who doesn’t like gold? De Gaulle is going to backstab the United States. The United Kingdom will never do this due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Even if it does, it will be after the French. Naturally, it can only dig a gold mine Earn a little hard money.

Of course, the richest woman has always had equal interests. Don't think that Alan Wilson doesn't know that the son of the Air Force Chief of Staff also has an industry in Australia, and this time he also joined the exploration.

Among the various shares are the Dutch, the Australians, and even the local Aboriginal chiefs. Miners are recruited from the British South Pacific Territory managed by Eder, and mining equipment and daily necessities are provided through the British mainland and Malaya. Every aspect is taken care of.

Alan Wilson is not greedy either. Australia currently produces 200 tons of gold per year, the British Gold Coast 100 tons, and New Guinea 100 tons per year. There are also British troops stationed in Australia, strategic bombers, and the UK is not even stingy with the latest aircraft carrier, and it is generous enough for Australia.

It is also true that Australia has forgotten Churchill's messy operations and gave Britain a chance to bridge its relationship with Australia.

The most important thing is that Malaya's position is on the head of Indonesia. As long as this colony is still held by the British, Australia will not be half-hearted about the British.

Makins was appeased, and Alan Wilson continued to work **** the review of military expenditures. After a while, the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance came over. If Frank still felt that it was too much, the two still needed to discuss how to use military expenditures to maintain the maximum fighting power.

The Royal Navy cannot be weakened, not because Admiral Mountbatten was born in the Navy, but because the Royal Navy can theoretically be on an equal footing with the US Navy. The first point is that the upgrade of the Royal Navy has been completed, and what needs to be done now is to upgrade the existing warships, such as installing new radars and the like. The U.S. Navy will enter a change cycle from now on, and warships from World War II will enter the retirement stage.

Another point is that the British aircraft carrier is different from the American aircraft carrier. The United States is pursuing an all-nuclear fleet, and the British new aircraft carrier is still conventionally powered.

The overhaul cycle of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is eighteen months. If the aircraft carrier enters the overhaul cycle, the rest period will often be longer than eighteen months, usually up to three years; Eight months is shorter, and eighteen months is actually an average cycle time.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, one-third of the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States are responsible for combat missions, one-third are engaged in sea training, and the other one-third are resting in port or entering the factory for maintenance. Of course, during wartime, its training, rest and maintenance cycle will be shortened, and the number of aircraft carriers capable of performing combat missions will increase compared with usual times, and more than half of the aircraft carriers can be put into combat.

When the United States is facing threats, it can use most of its aircraft carriers in combat. The United Kingdom can do this in peacetime. It is really difficult to serve the all-nuclear fleet~lightnovelpub.net~ The United States is hard. Later, the U.S. Navy regarded the concept of an all-nuclear fleet as a fart, and except for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines, everything else was cut off.

Therefore, the naval part of the military expenditure must be resolutely retained. The army is not a big problem. The current military expenditure is fought by the navy and the air force.

When the U.S. strategic bombing of North Vietnam had become a normal event, Alan Wilson convened a meeting of colonial commissioners to deduct the profit from these high commissioners who played reinvestment and transfer payments.

"My friend John, do you know that there is a military conflict between India and Pakistan?" Facing the High Commissioner of the Persian Gulf who came back, Allen Wilson asked his friend, "I don't know what the Arab countries think, everyone is a religion, isn't it? Don't they sympathize with Pakistan? Always face the bully India."

"Alan, just say what you think." John was also a commissioner of the country, and he knew that his colleagues didn't hold their farts well, and they definitely wanted to stir up trouble.

"We all know that India's resources are relatively scarce compared with its own population, especially oil." Alan Wilson raised his head in a compassionate tone, "Arab countries can use oil as a weapon. Of course, they can't always use it, but It can be used when the time is right."
