"You don't seem to care about the war at all." After finishing the information about the start of the Drang Valley battle, Makins couldn't help sighing when he saw that the supreme authority did not respond.

"I just came back to China, Mr. Sir. It's not that I don't care about the war, but I really don't care about the Vietnam War." Alan Wilson answered unhurriedly, what is there to care about about the Vietnam War? A superpower, going across the Pacific Ocean to Southeast Asia just to fight back?

Like the Iraq war, the United States can be regarded as a bit aggressive, but the problem is that the Vietnam War was a complete failure. Before the US military arrived, South Vietnam was still there, and after it went, South Vietnam was gone.

For more than ten years, as long as the North Vietnamese troops do not go south, the U.S. military will definitely not go north. What is there to care about?

No matter how big a hot spot is, there is a time in the past. Alan Wilson is now numb to the Vietnam War, and he can't wait to fast forward to Saigon Iron Fist. "The Vietnam War has nothing to do with us. We only need to applaud the United States when we should applaud. Now Obviously, the European side is more important."

"Well, it seems that I paid attention to the wrong focus." Maggins expressed the wrong feeling, and quickly put aside the information on Southeast Asia, and replaced it with the question that Alan Wilson was interested in.

The source of funding for the guided missile battleship program was donations from British immigrants in Western Australia, at least in name. Consensus of Cabinet, Whitehall and MoD.

Alan Wilson understands this consensus, piled up the latest technology and equipment, and later generations of warships are not without similar functions. For example, the Zumwalt-class destroyer is equipped with a considerable amount of Zentraedi technology at that time, but the reliability is somewhat Lack, of course, the Zumwalt class is also a pit, the biggest effect on the US Navy is the appearance of sci-fi, and nothing more.

Considering that the United States is trying an all-nuclear fleet, compared with the two, it seems that the guided missile battleship is an evil way. However, Allen Wilson is very clear that the all-nuclear fleet is also a pit, and all nuclear-powered cruisers in the United States have been retired early to give way to conventional power.

But if the US Navy can really be satisfied, the Virginia-class nuclear-powered cruiser will not retire early, and early retirement means that this thing is not up to standard at all.

In the previous discussion, the missile battleship of this class of experimental model abandoned the idea of ​​nuclear power, although the tonnage of the Vanguard class is sufficient for nuclear power.

Since it is experimental in nature, many novel design concepts can be tried, and the final result will be the same fate as the Zumwalt-class destroyer. Anti-ship, air defense, and connection to Galileo systems should all be considered. Phased array radar is not a new technology. As for the layout of the Aegis radar, Allen Wilson has seen the strange layout of the Kolkata class in India. People who can copy shells are not a problem at all. As for how to overcome difficulties inside, that is a matter for scientists.

"The electronic systems of the two Eagles have to be replaced, and the steam catapults have to be refitted, which is not a small expense." Maggins flipped through the documents and found the place to spend the money again, "But this is Mountbatten The Marshal's arrangements before he leaves office should not be disturbed."

"If the modification of the heavy-duty aircraft carrier is disturbed, our country will really be hopeless. It must be preserved, and there may be a good place to go." Alan Wilson didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly expressed revolutionary optimism , if he remembers correctly, a certain big country has long been interested in aircraft carriers.

I also bought the USS Melbourne aircraft carrier whose steam catapult was not dismantled. Of course, this is not all. After the defeat in the Vietnam War, the United States once very sincerely wanted to express its sincerity. Selling to a big country, of course, because of the price, the final deal was not finalized.

The benefit in the eyes of the United States and the benefit of the Soviet Union are not the same thing. In the eyes of the United States, it is considered a benefit if it sells you weapons normally.

If at that time, the United States has this idea, Alan Wilson can sell the Eagle class to a big country at the same price as the United States sold World War II aircraft carriers, and bring an extra set of steam catapults. Isn't it more conscientious than Americans in business?

There is no problem with the replacement of the Royal Navy's heavy equipment, such as aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. The world's navies are stable, but the situation with destroyers and frigates is not optimistic.

Once the guided-missile battleship Mountbatten is built, the experimental weapons on it will also be applied to the **** force. After all, the aircraft carrier cannot go to sea by itself. The new generation of destroyers should also be planned, otherwise the cutting-edge aircraft carrier after the war would not be suitable with a bunch of Daddy-class destroyers and frigates.

"Talk to the representatives of the shipbuilding industry. I'm going to take a few days off. You go on my behalf." Alan Wilson has just returned, and now he only wants to be comforted by the richest woman.

Pamela Mountbatten will be returning to Perth soon, and now he has to play the role of a good husband and spend more time with his wife during this time.

"Actually, your support for the shipbuilding industry is not in line with the original intention of free trade." Pamela Mountbatten was puzzled by her husband's efforts and why she had a soft spot for the large navy. Do you have a naval dream like your father?

"I will support any profitable industry, whether it succeeds or not. Most countries in the world believe that free trade is a good thing, but what, the United States is not included. The United States is against free trade, but the method is different from that of the Soviet Union. I don't believe you Look at how many years Boeing has banned the comet airliner from entering the United States, until Boeing has come up with a model that can be used.” Alan Wilson was full of contempt, and he did not mention the fact that Boeing crashed several passenger planes in succession .

For any airline, this is the inevitable end of bankruptcy. For example, the Comet airliner in history disappeared like this.

But the U.S. directly brought back Boeing’s milk with 60 billion U.S. dollars. What is too big to fail? This is!

Many high-end companies in the United States do not crush their opponents with technological content, but national treasure companies from other countries make a mistake and disappear. American companies have been alive with the support of the government, and the stronger the technical barriers of these living companies later, European companies are not rivals.

It is precisely because the United States does this that the United States hates countries under the Soviet system. Because of this, socialism is more proficient.

Not to mention the countries with the Soviet system, the United Kingdom under the Labor Party was even proficient in industry capital injection and integration, but the Soviet system was not so good in terms of industrial upgrading. It is useful to consolidate existing advantages.

While the United States was engaged in ground combat in Southeast Asia for the first time, Donald, the American ambassador to the United Kingdom who hadn't seen him for a long time, came to his door again, this time for a purpose that even Alan Wilson hadn't expected. He came to talk about arms sales, which almost surprised the supreme authority, and hurriedly asked what he wanted to buy.

"Tiger gunship." Donald specified what he wanted as soon as he opened his mouth. The fierce battle in Vietnam was in full swing, and the United States soon discovered that gunships were suitable for local combat. This discovery coincided with the original discovery of France, but then, the U.S. military discovered that the armed helicopters it is using now are not as good as the Tiger armed helicopters that have bloomed everywhere in European countries.

This is of course, the Tiger gunship is the Apache, of course the Americans think it is easy to use. Knowing the other party's purpose, Alan Wilson said with a look of embarrassment, "My friend, this is one of the few high-quality weapons in the UK in recent years. The export is very good, and it has been exported to European countries and Middle Eastern countries."

The Vietnam War was called the helicopter war because of the local environment. Before the Vietnam War, the United States did not pay much attention to helicopters, because the United States had a strong air superiority. Once there was any problem, it would be enough to call the Air Force to solve it. Although the US Army was equipped with a large number of helicopters , but it is mostly used to transport troops. Although the helicopter is also equipped with weapons, it is not specially used for combat.

This time the battle has just begun, and helicopters have been shot down by Soviet-style individual missiles. I have to say that when it comes to casualties, the U.S. military has always responded quickly. Let the U.S. military quickly realize that the United States is deficient in the field of helicopters.

Looking back now, it seems that because of the limited size and advantages of the British Air Force, the armed helicopters used to deal with the ground forces of the Soviet Union in Europe were not a second-best solution for insufficient capabilities, but very useful, quite useful, especially now that the US military has Weapons needed.

The H-21 helicopter still used by the U.S. military is a search and rescue helicopter in 1945~lightnovelpub.net~ The transport helicopters are all equipped with weapons, but they are unusable. The uh-1 helicopter is currently the most widely used helicopter by the U.S. military, but it is not a specialized armed helicopter. Only then did the Americans discover that Britain is at the forefront in the field of armed helicopters.

"Is that so?" Alan Wilson said to himself that Apache is of course good. It is an evergreen tree comparable to **52. The United States has been using it since it was in service until the 21st century, which shows its reliability.

"Sir Wilson, everyone in Washington knows that you are the best foreign friend with the United States and even the US military." Donald emphasized, "The strength of the special relationship between Britain and the United States cannot be doubted."

"But I can't let my wife's products become a burden on this special relationship. Tiger gunships are selling very well. They have been equipped in more than 20 countries and sold more than a thousand." Alan Wilson looked straight at Looking at Donald, "This kind of star product? Mr. Ambassador, you know that if you think about it with your American scientific research strength, competitors will appear immediately."

The supreme authority does not want to refuse. It is useless to ban the export of such weapons. The United States is fully capable of producing similar products, but I didn’t realize it before. He just told the other party bluntly that this is the Mountbatten Group’s military industry. The flagship product of the industry is of great significance and needs to be paid more.
