"However, last year's economic growth in the United States has already come out. It has increased by 6%. It is really surprising that such a large scale has grown so fast." Makins couldn't help but sighed, "It seems that the demand for war has driven economic growth, otherwise it would not be so high."

"Isn't that normal? The economic crisis ended as soon as the world war started. It happened twice." Alan Wilson said, "However, any war that lasts for a long time will affect the economic development of Bengu. This is the law. The longer the time passes, the greater the aftermath of the United States. Let's not follow the example of the Americans."

The economic growth of the United States in the past two years is indeed outrageous. The year before last was close to 7%, and last year it was 6%. This is faster than Japan after the Tokyo Olympics.

With this kind of growth, it feels a bit like throwing two trillion dollars in Afghanistan. The US war machine is really terrifying when it starts.

For the UK now, it is taking advantage of the spillover effects of the Vietnam War to build Malaya well, and it is taking advantage of the wind. As for the UK, it needs to upgrade its industries.

Especially the semiconductor industry, even if it cannot achieve the level of the United States and Japan ten years later, it must be satisfied with self-sufficiency.

As for what water resources law? What is the nationalization of the water supply system? It is just an opportunity for the prime minister to show his self-worth, which is far less important in the eyes of Alan Wilson. His support is only because he is the secretary-general of the cabinet, and he wants to arrange the establishment through the nationalization movement, that's all.

"You, the executive deputy secretary of the Ministry of Defense, care about what the US economy does. There is only one issue in the United States that will shake its roots. That is, the English-speaking people in China may be impacted by Latin American immigrants. Apart from this matter, other issues depend on the United States. Are you too greedy?" Alan Wilson reminded Makins to pay more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Defense, such as Defense Secretary Dennis Healy, and let him know that the British defense force is very good now and should not be reduced Funding ideas.

The outbreak of the racial problem in the United States, at least for now, is still far away. The origin is naturally the old acquaintance of the cabinet secretary Reagan. In 1986, Reagan pardoned 3 million Latin American illegal immigrants. The direct result is that California, the most populous state in the United States, has since It has become a big ticket warehouse for the Democratic Party, and the Republican power on the West Coast has declined sharply. It established the Democratic Party's advantage in the West Coast and New England in the northeastern United States.

By the time the Sleeping King was in power, the Latin-speaking population had approached one-fifth, and the entire black population was just over one-tenth of the size. Of course, the United States thinks that it has no problem, just like the French think that if they tell blacks that their ancestors are Gauls, they can handle blacks.

The problem is that the traditional English-speaking young whites in the United States are only 50%, which is very scary. The Democratic Party wants to pardon under such circumstances, and I don’t know if the United States can bear it.

At the beginning of the year, the U.S. military in Southeast Asia launched Operation Masher. In order to send more troops to the mountains for raids, the U.S. military dispatched a group of helicopters, including British Tiger gunships, to mop up North Vietnamese infiltration forces.

Carrying more than 1,500 U.S. troops, they flew to the combat area. At this time, the Vietnamese army was already ready for everything, just waiting for the arrival of U.S. fighter planes. According to war history records, the Vietnamese army hid more than 300 anti-aircraft machine guns in the combat area at that time. As soon as the US armed helicopters arrived at the target location, the ambushed anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire in unison.

The unsuspecting U.S. troops were defeated one after another under the intensive artillery fire, leaving more than 30 helicopters that were beaten into a sieve and fled in a hurry. They also paid the price of more than 500 casualties, 200 of whom died on the spot. , The rest of the U.S. troops also became prisoners of war.

But fortunately, the armed helicopters provided by the United Kingdom have been positively evaluated by the US military, played a pioneering role in breaking out, and launched a counterattack against the ambushing Vietnamese army. Only one-tenth of the helicopters shot down belonged to Tiger gunships, which left a deep impression on the US military fighting in Vietnam.

After this unsuccessful operation, the United States hated Vietnam's densely forested environment. In the port of Saigon, ships from the mainland unloaded the defoliant in orange drums. Used to clear the densely forested environment of Southeast Asia and expand the horizons of US military operations.

After all, the Tiger gunship is the active equipment of the United Kingdom, so after this battle, Washington hopes that the United Kingdom can send troops to use this weapon to help the United States.

This is definitely impossible. When Eden was in office, it was only theoretically possible. Now that the Labor Party is in power, it is not possible at all. Defense Secretary Dennis Healy wants to cut military spending, although the Prime Minister said he would not do so. , but the military expenditure has been saved with great difficulty, and you want to increase it?

I wonder if the representatives of the deep government and the supreme authority have outsourced the logistics of the British troops stationed abroad to the Chinese, and then asked the Chinese to follow the British troops to Vietnam? To fight against North Vietnam supported by a certain big country? It's just a joke.

However, from the perspective of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson still informed the Prime Minister of Washington's request, but he was naturally rejected without mercy.

This has nothing to do with him, he is just a mere secretary-general of the cabinet, and only has the power to deal with daily affairs. Naturally, the Prime Minister decides on such a major event as sending troops.

"My lord, from the perspective of the special relationship, I shouldn't criticize the British policy, but there are some remarks, saying that Prime Minister Wilson seems to be too friendly to the Soviet Union." US Ambassador Donald, who came to the Cabinet Office to promote diplomacy, Expressed his concerns about British foreign policy.

He hopes that Alan Wilson, the cabinet secretary, can guarantee the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and don't let suspicious prime ministers destroy the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"Dear Ambassador, he is the Prime Minister. Although our two countries have a special relationship, but this kind of words?" Alan Wilson expressed a skeptical tone, but he still stood firm and reminded the other party not to talk nonsense.

Doubts about Harold Wilson did circulate. After the war the Labor Party defeated the Conservative Party and won a general election victory, and Wilson was successfully elected to Parliament. But to his surprise, he was immediately hired as Congressional Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service. Two years later, he was reassigned as Secretary of Overseas Trade. During his tenure, he visited the Soviet Union several times to discuss trade matters. During this period, the sale of Rolls-Royce engines naturally occurred.

This time and space depends on the existence of Alan Wilson, and hundreds of more engines were sold, but the British superior aero engine did have technology outflow to the Soviet Union.

But the Prime Minister Tongsu cannot be suspected because of this. If the Prime Minister can be suspected, and Alan Wilson is also involved in this matter, wouldn't he also be suspected?

Faced with the pressure from the United States, Alan Wilson naturally wanted to change the subject, "The top priority now is not how much help the United Kingdom can provide. There are some things that only the United Kingdom can honestly say to the United States. That is, the United States must obtain a big one as soon as possible. The results of the war give confidence to the free world. Both of our countries speak English. Britain is naturally the strongest ally of the United States, but this is not necessarily the case for other countries. The United States should know that reformed socialism on the European side is very strong, The reason is that Europe does not have enough confidence to face the Soviet Union. The United States must give Europe confidence."

Challengers are always isolated. You can say that the Soviet Union does not have as many allies as the United States, but that is based on the fact that the United States can suppress the Soviet Union. If the United States can’t do it, no one wants to be friends with losers. Countries on the European side can defend, but what about helping the United States? That's really overthinking.

"I heard that the South Korean army in South Vietnam has exceeded 50,000. Why not organize a large-scale offensive?" Alan Wilson said, "What do you want the Koreans to do? Isn't it to let them reduce the losses of American soldiers? Are Koreans going on a tropical vacation?"

"Maybe the UK can provide some useful advice on how to use the troops of these different nationalities. After all, we have fought side by side with the Indians. You must understand that South Korea needs the United States now, more than the United States needs South Korea, and clarify this basis~www.mtlnovel. com~ Things will be easy to handle. In fact, the current conditions of the United States are better than that of the United Kingdom during the two world wars, and South Korea has no ability to refuse."

Who is Alan Wilson? He used to be an assistant to the High Commissioner of British India, and now in the UK, he is in a high position and knows that Britain will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is shed. It cannot be said that there is no one, but he is the only one who meets the standard of being young and vigorous.

"Once there are mass casualties, the Koreans may not be obedient?" Donald frowned slightly, apparently Washington has not yet considered this issue.

"Then let them swim back on their own. How dare they be disobedient even in Vietnam?" Alan Wilson said with a chuckle, "I don't believe Park Chung-hee dares to refuse. You can also use this to try, whether the warning about the seventeenth parallel Effective, if it arouses the dissatisfaction of the Soviet bloc, it is said that this is a decision made by the Koreans themselves. It has nothing to do with the US military.”

"In fact, Washington is lucky. There is still a country that uses its own life in exchange for support. The UK can't find such a country now."

After sending away the confident Donald, Alan Wilson changed his face instantly, and finally succeeded in fooling the Americans, muttering, "Do you want to check whether the Prime Minister is really a Soviet spy?"

Pamela Mountbatten is about to return to China. Some things may not be convenient until she comes back. Alan Wilson decided to visit his sister-in-law. The main purpose was to ask Turing about the development trend of the semiconductor industry. Surprisingly, Turing was not at home.

Princess Margaret expressed her gratitude to the cabinet secretary for his care for her husband. This time, the communication felt like home. "I will call you when he comes back."

"Thank you Princess for your help in industrial upgrading." Alan Wilson bowed slightly, "The royal family's concern for the economy is the luck of the UK."
