v2 Chapter 1296: Indo-Pakistani War

The latest website: "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 purpose in life.

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

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

The secretary-general of the cabinet at this time had already made up his mind to kill his son's dream comprehensively and mercilessly in the bud.

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

"My younger brother will definitely become an admiral." Pamela giggled, hugging her younger brother, who was already the same height as her, "Being a navy, becoming a captain."

"Don't make an assertion so quickly about the future." With his face flushed, Alan Wilson finally found a space to interrupt, and quickly turned over this article.

"I think it's good to be a soldier." My sister-in-law, Patricia, played a role in adding fuel to the fire at this time, touching her sister's child's head, "Albert will definitely become a war hero."

Until the end of the award, Alan Wilson was sullen, thinking about **** his son's dream, which was incompatible with the happy family atmosphere. Pamela and Patricia, surrounded by their father, although tomorrow is the official retirement day of Marshal Mountbatten, the two daughters have already discussed their father's future life.

"Perth's environment is very good, where my mother is very comfortable, and 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 has a big bag Lan Dao, "There are also 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, and there are many old friends who live there, the Duke of Norford, 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 with some envy, "But my father should still like the environment in London."

"What kind of environment is there in London?" Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but curl her lips. "Perth's construction is much better than lifeless London. London looks very dilapidated."

"My dear, it'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 the conversation changed, "I also recommend living in Perth, Because your mother is used to the local life. She can take care of you."

It's better not to stay in London, people like Marshal Mountbatten are precious treasures to any family and can make a big difference as long as they are alive. But Alan Wilson remembered that Marshal Mountbatten was killed by the Irish Republican Army. It is not known how the future will develop. Perth is definitely safer than the British mainland.

Historically, European royal families have formed a very complex network of members through marriage, which is generally difficult for outsiders to figure out. And Mountbatten has a habit of organizing files. Like his predecessors, he kept every piece of paper related to the family. As a result, he became an authority on the authenticity of the descendants of European royal families overthrown by the revolution.

Pamela Mountbatten was not only the spiritual leader of the British aristocracy, but also gathered a group of French aristocrats and German Junkers, all of which depended on Mountbatten's help.

"You can consider building a new manor, and let the marshal build it according to his own ideas." Alan Wilson said with an overweight, looking for the sake of his father-in-law.

Mountbatten immediately agreed with his son-in-law's suggestion. He even started to imagine, and used his expertise in formulating plans and plans. From buying and selling a farm to renovating a toilet, everything was like preparing for war. plan to come.

Patricia's husband, John Brabourne, is very much in favor of the reunion of the Mountbatten couple, so that the manor left in the UK will definitely be used by the couple.

Broadlands, for example, is one of several estates built by Edwina's maternal grandfather, Sir Kessel, in Hampshire. After Sir Kessel's death, the estate came under Edvina's name, and once Mountbatten and Edvina went to Perth, the estate should have been taken care of by their husband and wife.

"If you stay in the UK, with the prestige of the marshal, you may be invited by the government from time to time to take part-time jobs. This is not good for an old man. Don't think I'm talking too much, you need to know those in the cabinet. Anyone can do anything."

Alan Wilson started pouring dirty water on the government. This is not an alarmist. Montgomery is like this. After retirement, the British government felt that he could not give him a generous pension for white-collar workers. It should take advantage of his high reputation and acquaintances all over the world. relationship, making him a rare troubled problem-solving expert and unofficial messenger for the country. As a result, he was frequently called out of his home to expand Britain's influence in a "private" capacity.

That was the root cause of Mountbatten's decision. "You're right, now that I'm retired, I can't always let the government bother me. There's no such worry in Perth."

According to the process, Mountbatten will have the last day of work tomorrow, and it will also be handed over to his successor. The next Chief of Defense Staff, Sir Hull, is ready to go.

Alan Wilson came to the Ministry of Defense early the next day, and there was nothing to do anyway, just to watch Mountbatten's last day of life, and by the way, he had a good relationship with the new Chief of Defense Staff.

The last time Marshal Mountbatten heard about his military career, he was calm. 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, life in the UK is much easier." Alan Wilson answered happily. There is no threat of immigrants. Although there is Indonesia nearby, to be honest, the threat from Indonesia is all blown out. It is not a threat to the navy. "There are also British troops stationed near Perth. The Marshal can go and see if he has nothing to do."

If Australia's natural conditions were better, there would be fewer problems than the United States. However, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, so it would be good to be a carefree world mine.

"Sounds good." Mountbatten was very happy. If the rest period is long, he can go to the military camp if he misses the military life.

Mountbatten decided to revolve around the place where he had worked for many years, leaving the office to the new British chief of defense staff Sir Hull and his son-in-law, so that Whitehall and the military would become familiar with each other.

Mountbatten is about to finally bid farewell to his 49-year military career and leave the Ministry of Defense. 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: "Ho! So many people, it's really satisfying."

In the office, Sir Hull talked to 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, and of course I am grateful to the marshal. This is my obligation." Alan Wilson answered the other party's question without being humble, and then changed the conversation, "It's like my obligation to the military. , Britain's overseas interests also need the military to guard. I have always been very supportive of military construction, although some projects will inevitably be cut off after evaluation, but it is not my original intention, but I cannot persuade the cabinet to pass ."

Whitehall is the centre of power in the UK, and while elected MPs don't think so, it's a fact that Whitehall has influence over any department of course. For example, the current deputy secretary of defense of the defense department, Markins, is in control of the direction of the defense department.

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. These do not know that Mountbatten is about to start the next stage and become a bridge between Australia and the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson, who witnessed the whole process of famous historical figures from front to back, couldn't help but sigh.

The war between Pakistan and India has rekindled. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is like what Alan Wilson predicted. After India lost an adult in the Himalayas, even Pakistan now feels that it can compete with India.

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

Not long after Eden had pledged to send the foreign secretary to mediate, the two countries began to fight again, leading to Labour accusing the Conservatives in the Commons of whitewashing peace, much to Eden's irritation.

"In our traditional relationship with India, in theory we should stand on the side of India, but I believe that the United States is considering balancing India and will definitely stand on the side of Pakistan. Although the scale of the war is now large, the front line has not changed significantly. It’s not enough to make us rush to express our position.”

Alan Wilson, who arrived at No. 10 Downing Street, took the latest diplomatic intelligence and advised Aiden, "And it's better not to come forward when we exert influence. Pakistan is a country of peace, can we exert influence on the Arab world? Press, see what India is going to do?"
