Chapter 1286 of the main volume of the British Civil Servant diverted attention "Isn't your British shipbuilding industry very strong?" Pokina smiled wickedly, "You will admit defeat in such a field you are good at? It is not at all like the you I know .”

"Shipbuilding and submarines are not the same thing. And you can't even imagine it." Alan Wilson shook his head and smiled bitterly. The good thing now is that Aiden just said that he would be on an equal footing with the United States on nuclear submarines, not the Soviet Union, but in fact it is the same Yes, Britain cannot catch up with either the United States or the Soviet Union.

The navies of the United States and the Soviet Union have different priorities. The United States is a traditional large navy. The Soviet Red Navy focuses on underwater because of the difficulty of catching up. If it is not counted as conventional submarines, the Soviet Union had more than 200 nuclear submarines in service at its peak, and the United States is not far behind. , More than 190 nuclear submarines have been built, and the United States has surpassed one point in that not many are in service at the same time, and they are retreating while building, so they are at a quantitative disadvantage at the same time.

In addition, the more than 200 nuclear submarines of the Soviet Union are not the entire underwater power of the Soviet Red Navy. The US Navy does not have conventional submarines, but the Soviet Union has conventional submarines.

At the time when Aiden was speaking, the Soviet Red Navy still had more than 200 conventional submarines in service. Alan Wilson remembered that the Soviet Union had a first-class conventional submarine with a construction plan of 560 at the beginning. Of course, the technology fell behind later. cancelled.

Even if it is catching up with the United States, the United Kingdom will not be able to catch up. The United States has manufactured 37 Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines in 12 years, and construction has already started. How can the United Kingdom follow?

In his heart, Alan Wilson was already prepared. If the US ambassador to London asked the prime minister, he would betray the prime minister. Just bragging, don't take it seriously.

The United Kingdom can keep 20 or 30 nuclear submarines in service, and it is enough to support Britain's status as a world power. There is no need to compare with the two lunatics of the United States and the Soviet Union.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask, but I also heard that the Mountbatten Pharmaceutical Group is in a lawsuit with the Japanese?" Pokina was curious about this question, "Did the Japanese copy your wife's products?"

"Ma Yinglong ointment." Alan Wilson happened to know about this, and said vaguely, "Don't worry, the Japanese can't win. She has the agency right of the Chinese government. The ointment is just an example. In fact, all original products on the market The medicines produced in China are all in Pamela’s hands, as well as the traditional medicines from India and the Middle East, which she has obtained.”

"The colonial empire, this is really powerful." Pokina sighed, "Even in this kind of field that ordinary people can't think of, you can dig out value. What if the Japanese lose the lawsuit?"

"Wait to collect patent fees." Alan Wilson smiled coldly, "I will send people to East and Southeast Asian countries to collect patent fees. After all, British companies are the agents of these traditional medicines."

Japan and South Korea can’t run away. Money issues, don’t use that kind of macro narrative, and the unity of the free world is useless to him. If a company as big as Mountbatten can’t protect the products it represents, it will still be in the future. How to gain a foothold in the business world?

Patents do not conform to the values ​​​​of socialist countries. Alan Wilson can understand that the exploitation of patent barriers is learned from the Soviets. But he is not Chinese. Is it still a mistake for a British to collect patent fees in the free world?

These traditional medicines in East Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia have a profit of tens of millions of pounds a year. Pamela Mountbatten is not so generous as to turn a blind eye to building an avant-garde.

Allen Wilson sent Burgess to carry out cultural exchange work. At the same time, Pamela Mountbatten was fighting a patent lawsuit with a Japanese pharmaceutical company.

As long as he needs it, Alan Wilson can sanction a cat or a tree in the Soviet Union, but he will never ban the export of Soviet oil.

The arrival of the ambassador to the UK came later than Alan Wilson expected. Facing the close ally’s hope that the British nuclear power might as well be clearer, Alan Wilson said categorically, “My friend, our prime ministers are all seventy years old. It’s an old age. It is understandable to say something about maintaining the status of the United Kingdom to make citizens happy. As for other aspects? I can only say that it is difficult to implement.”

"Washington has always believed that Sir Allen is the defender of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. Dear Sir, the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States needs your maintenance." Donald took the opportunity to pull the relationship and said, "I have to say that some of the remarks made by the Prime Minister have indeed caused serious problems. Unnecessary misunderstanding. Of course, we all agree that Britain is an important force to stabilize the world situation."

"I am very glad that Washington thinks so." Alan Wilson responded with a smile, "Washington's attitude is the core of British diplomacy, and we firmly believe in this. To be honest, there is a gap in size between the United Kingdom and the United States. For the current world Order, the UK has accepted the reality, and believes that the current order is conducive to the development of the UK. As for the European Community, it will try to take care of the interests of the United States, after all, we will not go the same way with France.”

There are only 50 million people in the UK. Even if it has got rid of its financial problems now, it will not be able to return to its peak.

Because British India has become independent, there is no cannon fodder that does not have to be responsible for confronting opponents to the end. Malaya is not comparable to India in terms of population, and some places cannot bear the responsibilities of British India.

This is the most sincere truth. In order to reassure the Americans, Alan Wilson complained in distress, "Where else can we find a large population that is under British command and not responsible for it?"

"Sir Allen, we all understand that that era has passed." Donald pretended to be consoling, saying that there is no distrust between Britain and the United States. He just came to explain that the United States hopes that the United Kingdom will maintain a certain degree of transparency and has no other intentions.

"I understand!" Alan Wilson said to himself, do you think I'm talking about England? In fact, what I am talking about is the United States in the 21st century. The book population of the United States is not consistent with the actual population.

There are tens of millions of illegal immigrants. Since they are illegal immigrants, they naturally do not have citizenship rights. They are immigrants who only work and have no rights.

This is an irresponsible expendable population. The United States needs these illegal immigrants to take out the garbage and clean the toilets.

Therefore, knowing Wang's expulsion of these illegal immigrants was secretly stumbling. However, the existence of such large-scale illegal immigration will certainly hurt the United States, but the U.S. government can no longer take care of so much, and uses citizens to work.

After all, the United States still has not found an India like its own, but the United States has turned itself into India.

But this volume theory is really enough to reassure Americans. Don't look at the Americans who always say that in a few years, Germany and Japan will surpass the United States according to the current growth. These are all lies with a red heart on the face. If they really have the ability to surpass the United States, they are treated by the Soviet Union.

If it is a country with the same electoral system, it will give the other party a taste of the treatment of the European Union, saying that the reason why you can surpass is that you cannot surpass it at all.

Eden's temporary temperament not only needs to be explained by Alan Wilson and the Americans, but also seized by the Labor Party and accused the Conservative Party cabinet. difference.

When Harold Wilson was at the Labor Party rally, he talked about the impracticality of Eden's British nuclear force, especially the number of nuclear submarines. Britain can't catch up. Forcibly catching up will only invest precious wealth in a meaningless arms race, and it is destined to be the loser.

The Prime Minister's private secretary Brest came to the cabinet secretary's office and also talked about the conflict between Aiden and the opposition party on this matter. Regarding the explanation of the British nuclear force, Aiden was negligent this time. He did not expect to cause such a big disturbance. , "The round table talks in Yemen, the prime minister is ready."

"Then I will notify the local national leaders immediately." Alan Wilson knew immediately that Aiden wanted to use the convening of the Yemen Independence Conference to show that Britain did not want to go back to the old path of world hegemony first, "the voice of the Labor Party Is it big? I mean, questioning voices."

"It's really not small. There are already calls for the Prime Minister to step down." Brest said with a smile, "Labour supporters believe that this will make Britain what it was before the war."

"Our prime minister, after all, is the prime minister who came through the glorious era. It may not be easy to accept the current new things." Allen Wilson nodded.

Aiden became the foreign minister at the age of thirty-eight. At that time, the world leader was still Britain, and the United States was still suppressed in North America. Although both Britain and the United States secretly believed that ~lightnovelpub.net~ the protagonists of the next war might be each other, But after all, on the surface, it is passable.

It is not too outrageous for Aiden to be able to plan the Suez Canal War without telling the United States, and to shout that British nuclear submarines will compete with the United States. But shouting it out publicly, and now being criticized by the Labor Party? How could it be better than launching a war and being hit head-on by the United States?

Whitehall started to get busy again, preparing for the Yemeni Independence Round Table Conference, and soon the local ethnic leaders in Yemen learned of this great event after being notified by the Persian Gulf Commissioner.

The reason why the current Yemen is given priority in terms of independence is because North Yemen has already appeared in the conflict of armed forces of various factions, which is actually moving towards civil war. The Free Officers Organization launched an armed revolution and overthrew the feudal dynasty in one fell swoop. That night, revolutionary troops broke into the palace and occupied many important places in the capital Sanaa.

Originally, this revolution in history was supported by Nasser, but now it is not supported by Nasser, but initiated by Nasser.

Alan Wilson had heard about the Freedom Officers Organization, which had made trouble several times, but he didn't know that Nasser was in Yemen, and the other party didn't expose himself. At this time, the various factions invited by the United Kingdom, including representatives of the Free Officers Organization, discussed the future of Yemen together, and the other party did not refuse.
