"However, the economic growth in the United States has already come out last year. It has risen by 6%. It is amazing that such a large scale is still growing so fast." Makins couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the demand for war is driving 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, "But any war for a long time will affect the economic development of Bengu. This is a law. The longer the time is, the bigger the sequelae of the United States will be. Let's not follow the Americans."

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

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

Now, for the UK, it is taking advantage of the spillover effect of the Vietnam War to build Malaya well, and it is taking advantage of the east wind. As for the UK, it needs to carry out industrial upgrading.

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

What about water law? What about nationalizing the water system, it's just a chance for the Prime Minister to show his self-worth, and it's far less important in Alan Wilson's eyes. He supported it only because he was the secretary of the cabinet and had to arrange the establishment through the nationalization campaign, that's all.

"You are the permanent undersecretary of the Department of Defense, and you care about what the US economy does. There is only one problem in the United States that will shake you up, that is, the English-speaking people in the country may be attacked by Latin American immigrants. Except for this matter, other problems depend on the United States. Are you too greedy?" Alan Wilson reminded Markins to pay more attention to the Ministry of Defense, such as Defense Secretary Dennis Healey, to make it clear that the British defense force is very good now, not to cut it in the name of funding idea.

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

By the time the Sleeping King was in power, the Latin-speaking population was close to one-fifth, and the entire black population was just over one-tenth of the size. Of course America thinks it's okay, just like the French think they can get black people by telling black people that your ancestors are Gauls.

The problem is that there are only 50% of young white Americans who speak English traditionally. This is very scary. The Democrats still want a pardon under such circumstances, and I don't know if the United States can afford it.

At the beginning of the year, the U.S. military in Southeast Asia started the masher operation. In order to transport more troops to the mountains for raids, the U.S. military dispatched a group of helicopters including British Tiger gunships to start sweeping away the infiltration forces in North Vietnam.

It carried more than 1,500 U.S. troops to the combat area, and at this time the Vietnamese army had already prepared everything, just waiting for the arrival of the U.S. fighter jets. War history records that at that time, the Vietnamese army hid more than 300 anti-aircraft machine guns in the combat area. The American armed helicopters just arrived at the target location, and the ambushed anti-aircraft machine guns fired in unison.

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

Fortunately, the armed helicopters provided by the United Kingdom were positively evaluated by the U.S. military, played a pioneering role in breaking through the siege, and counterattacked the ambush Vietnamese troops. Of the helicopters that were shot down, only one-tenth of them belonged to Tiger gunships, which left a deep impression on the U.S. military fighting in Vietnam.

After this unsuccessful operation, the United States hated Vietnam's densely forested environment, and ships from the Saigon port unloaded defoliants in orange drums. It is used to clear the densely forested environment in Southeast Asia and expand the horizons of U.S. 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 not possible, when Eden was in office this was only a theoretical possibility, now that Labour is in power it is not at all possible, the defense secretary Dennis Healey wants to cut military spending, although the prime minister said he would not do so , but the military spending was managed with great difficulty, do you still want to increase it?

I don’t know if the representatives of the deep government, the supreme authority, outsourced the logistics of the British troops stationed abroad to the Chinese, and then let the Chinese go to Vietnam with the British army? Fighting North Vietnam, which is supported by a certain power? Just kidding.

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

This has nothing to do with him. He is just a cabinet secretary in a district. He only has the power to deal with daily affairs. It is naturally the prime minister's decision to send troops.

"Dear Sir, from the point of view of special relations, I should not have pointed fingers at British policy, but there are some remarks 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 ensure the conduct of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, and not let the suspicious Prime Minister destroy the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

"Dear Ambassador, he is the Prime Minister. Although our two countries have a special relationship, but such a thing?" Alan Wilson showed a tone of doubt, but he still insisted on his position and reminded the other side not to talk nonsense.

Doubts about Harold Wilson were indeed circulating, with the Labour Party defeating the Conservatives after the war and winning the general election, and Wilson was successfully elected to MP. But to his surprise, he was immediately hired as Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service. Two years later, he was reassigned as overseas trade secretary. 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 depended on the existence of Alan Wilson, who sold hundreds of more engines, but Britain's superior aero engines did experience technology outflow to the Soviet Union.

But that doesn't make him suspect the Prime Minister Tongsu. If the Prime Minister can be suspected, and Alan Wilson also participated in this matter, wouldn't he also be suspected?

In the face of pressure from the United States, Alan Wilson naturally wanted to change the subject. "The priority now is not how much help the UK can provide. There are some things that only the UK can say frankly to the US. That is, the US must get a big deal as soon as possible. The results of the victory give confidence to the free world. Both our countries speak English, and the UK is naturally the most staunch ally of the United States, but this is not necessarily the case for other countries. The United States should know that the reformed socialism on the European side is very strong, The reason is that Europe does not have enough confidence in facing the Soviet Union. And the United States has to give Europe confidence.”

The challenger is always isolated, and you could say that the Soviet Union did not have as many allies as the United States, but that was based on the fact that the United States could suppress the Soviet Union. If you can't do it in the United States, no one wants to be friends with the losers. Countries on the European side can defend, but what about helping the United States fight? That's really overthinking it.

"I heard that the South Korean army in South Vietnam has exceeded 50,000, so why not organize a large-scale offensive?" Alan Wilson replied, "What do you want the Koreans to do? Isn't it just to let them reduce the losses of American soldiers? Is it for Koreans to go on tropical vacations?"

"Maybe the UK can provide some useful advice on how to use the armies of these different nationalities. After all, we fought side by side with the Indians. To understand that South Korea needs the United States now, more than the United States needs South Korea, clear this foundation, and things will be easy to deal with. In fact, the current conditions in the United States are better than the British during the two world wars, and South Korea has no ability to refuse.”

Who is Alan Wilson? He used to be the assistant to the High Commissioner of British India, and now Britain, in a high position, knows that the British will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is dried up. I can't say that there is no one, but he is the only one who meets the criteria of being young and strong.

"Once there are mass casualties, the Koreans may not be obedient?" Donald frowned slightly, apparently Washington hadn't thought about it yet.

"Then let them swim back by themselves~lightnovelpub.net~ Even in Vietnam, how dare they be disobedient?" Alan Wilson laughed, "I don't believe that Park Chung-hee dared to refuse. You can also try it out. Whether the warning at the 7th parallel is effective or not, if it arouses the dissatisfaction of the Soviet bloc, it 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 Donald, who had regained his confidence, Alan Wilson changed his face instantly, and finally succeeded in fooling the Americans, muttering, "Would you like to check if the Prime Minister is really a Soviet spy?"

Pamela Mountbatten was about to return to China, and some things might not be convenient when she came back. Alan Wilson decided to visit his sister-in-law. The main purpose was to ask about Turing and the development trend of the semiconductor industry. Surprisingly, Turing was not at home.

Princess Margaret expressed her gratitude to the cabinet secretary for caring about her husband's behavior. This time the communication was a home away from home. "I'll call you when he comes back."

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