British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1296: India-Pakistan War

"I will also wear a handsome military uniform in the future." Albert looked at Mountbatten's tall figure and waved his fist, as if he had found his life goal.

"When I grow up, I want to be a scientist, a teacher, and a doctor." When Alan Wilson heard his son's rhetoric, he couldn't help but think of his innocent, ignorant, and expectations for the future when he was a child, and couldn't help laughing. If the eldest son joins the army at the age, then what should it be? Falklands War…

If it weren't for the solemnity of this occasion, Alan Wilson would definitely hang his son up and beat him to let his son know the dangers of society in advance. But Her Majesty is here, and he can't do that.

At this time, the secretary-general of the cabinet has made up his mind to completely and mercilessly kill his son's dream in the bud.

"You will definitely become a handsome soldier." Pamela Mountbatten's encouragement almost made the head of the family fuming.

"My younger brother will definitely become a general." Pamela giggled, putting her arms around her younger brother who was already the same height as herself, "Do you want to be in the navy? Become a captain."

"For the future, don't make judgments so quickly." Alan Wilson finally found a gap to interject, his face flushed, and he quickly turned over this article.

"I think it's good to be a soldier." Aunt Patricia added fuel to the fire at this time, touching the head of her sister and child, "Albert will definitely become a war hero."

Until the end of the award, Alan Wilson was depressed, thinking about **** his son's dream, which was incompatible with the happy family atmosphere. Pamela and Patricia surrounded their father. Although Marshal Mountbatten officially retired tomorrow, the two daughters were already discussing their father's future life.

"The environment in Perth is very good, and my mother is very comfortable there. The local winter is not cold. I think it is very friendly to the age of my parents. Here in London, it is very ordinary." Pamela Mountbatten Da Bao Da Lan Dao, "There are many friends there, and I can satisfy my father's hobbies. Whether it is horse racing or polo, it is easier to get a venue than here in London. There are also many old friends who live there. The Duke of Norford and the Duke of Richmond It's all there. The Duke of Manchester loves horse racing."

"Pamela, of course I have no doubts about your financial resources." Patricia said enviously, "but father should still like the environment in London."

"London doesn't have any environment." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help curling her lips. "Perth's construction is much better than the dead London. London looks dilapidated."

"Honey, that's just a common problem of building first, and Perth will become old in the future." Alan Wilson had to say something for the capital of the British Empire, but changed the subject, "I also recommend living in Perth, Because your mother is used to the local life. You can take care of her."

It is best not to stay in London. People like Marshal Mountbatten are precious wealth to any family, and they can play a big role as long as they are alive. But Alan Wilson remembered that Marshal Mountbatten was killed by the Irish Republican Army. It is still unknown how the future will develop. Perth must be safer than the British mainland.

Historically, European royal families have formed a very complicated member network through marriages, and it is generally difficult for outsiders to figure it out. And Mountbatten has a habit of organizing files. Like his predecessors, he kept every piece of paper related to his family. As a result, he became an authority on the authenticity of those descendants of European royal families who had been overthrown by the revolution.

Pamela Mountbatten is not only the spiritual leader of the British nobles, but also gathered a group of French nobles and German Junkers, all of which depend on Mountbatten's help.

"You can consider building a new manor and let the marshal build it according to his own ideas." Allen Wilson said more, thinking about his father-in-law.

As soon as Mountbatten heard his son-in-law's suggestion, he even started to imagine, using his expertise in formulating plans and plans. From buying and selling a farm to decorating a toilet, he worked out a set in advance like preparing for a war. Plan to come.

Patricia's husband, John Braburn, is in favor of the reunion of the Mountbatten couple. In this case, the manor left in England will definitely be used by them.

Broadlands Manor in Hampshire, for example, was one of several estates built by Edwina's grandfather, Sir Kessel, during his lifetime. After the death of Sir Kessel, the manor came under the name of Edwina. Once Mountbatten and Edwina went to Perth, the manor should be taken care of by their husband and wife.

"If you stay in the UK, with the prestige of the Marshal, you may be invited out by the government from time to time to take up some special jobs part-time. This is not good for an old man. Don't think what I said is too much, you have to know those in the cabinet. People can do anything.”

Alan Wilson has started pouring dirty water on the government. This is not alarmist talk. Montgomery is like this. After retirement, the British government felt that he could not let him receive a generous pension. He wanted to take advantage of his high reputation and acquaintances and friends all over the world. connections, making him the country's rare problem-solver and unofficial emissary. Therefore, he was frequently called out of his home to expand the influence of Britain in a "private" capacity.

This is the root cause of Mountbatten's decision, "That's right, since I'm retired, I can't always let the government bother me. There is no such worry in Perth."

According to the procedure, Mountbatten will carry out his last day of work tomorrow, which is also a handover to his successor. Sir Hull, the next Chief of the Defense Staff, is already ready to go.

Alan Wilson came to the Ministry of National Defense early the next day. Anyway, he had nothing to do. It was just to watch Mountbatten's life on the last day, and to build a good relationship with the new chief of defense staff by the way.

The last time Marshal Mountbatten heard that his military career was uneventful, on the contrary, he was very happy to talk about life in Australia with his son-in-law, "I don't know how it is over there."

"In a sense, it's much easier than life in the UK." Alan Wilson replied happily. There is no threat of foreign immigrants. Although Indonesia is next to him, to be honest, the Indonesian threat is blown out. For the British royal family The navy is not a threat. "There are also British troops stationed near Perth. The marshal can go and see if he has nothing to do."

If Australia had better natural conditions, it would have fewer problems than the United States. However, Australia has a vast land and sparse population, so it would be nice to be a carefree world mine.

"Sounds good." Mountbatten was very happy. If he had a long rest and missed military life, he could go to the barracks.

Mountbatten decided to turn around the place where he had worked for many years, and left the office to Sir Hull, the new British Chief of Defense Staff, and his son-in-law, so that Whitehall and the military could get acquainted with each other.

Mountbatten is about to finally bid farewell to the Ministry of Defense after forty-nine years of military service. The news spread like wildfire, and many reporters and some curious passers-by came to surround the gate of the Ministry of National Defense. When Mountbatten went downstairs, he saw the scene outside from the window and said happily: "Hey! So many people, so satisfying."

In the office, Sir Hull had a conversation with Alan Wilson, "The relationship between the Secretary-General and the Marshal is better than that of an ordinary father and son."

"Pamela is my wife, of course I am very grateful to the Marshal, this is my obligation." Alan Wilson answered the other party's question in an unassuming and humble manner, and then changed the subject, "It's like my obligation to the military , Britain’s overseas interests still need to be protected by the military. I have always been very supportive of military construction. Although some projects will inevitably be cut off after evaluation, it is by no means my original intention, but I cannot persuade the cabinet to pass it. .”

Whitehall is the center of power in the United Kingdom. Although the elected MPs don't think so, it is a fact. Whitehall naturally has influence on any department. For example, Makins, the current deputy secretary of the Ministry of National Defense, is controlling the direction of the Ministry of National Defense.

On this day, Mountbatten rarely got off work on time, and walked out of the Ministry of Defense under the flashing lights of many onlookers and reporters. Those who did not know that Mountbatten was about to start the next stage, becoming a bridge between Australia and the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson witnessed the whole process of famous historical figures from the front stage to behind the scenes, and he couldn't help sighing.

The renewed war between Pakistan and India ~lightnovelpub.net~ Just as Alan Wilson predicted, after India lost its master in the Himalayas, now even Pakistan feels that it can make gestures with India.

At the beginning, only the Kashmiri guerrillas attacked the Indian army outposts and some supply warehouses. It was not until the scale of the war expanded that Pakistan sent a large number of armed personnel into the Kashmir region. The Indian side even assembled more than six divisions on the ceasefire line in one fell swoop, and directly launched an attack on the Pakistani mainland.

Not long after Aiden vowed to send the Foreign Secretary to mediate, the two countries began to fight again, which led to the Labor Party accusing the Conservative Party of whitewashing peace in the House of Commons, which made Aiden very annoyed.

"Because of our traditional relationship with India, theoretically we should stand on India's side, but I believe that the United States will definitely stand on Pakistan's side in consideration of balancing India. Although the scale of the war is now large, the front has not changed significantly. It’s not enough for us to make a hasty statement.”

Arriving at No. 10 Downing Street, Alan Wilson took the latest diplomatic intelligence and suggested to Aiden, "It is better not to come out on our own to exert influence. Pakistan is a country of peace religion. Can we exert influence on the Arab world?" Let's see what India is going to do?"
