British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1408: task force

The call to sit down and talk is nothing more than the foundation of my country as a permanent member of the United Nations. This does not mean anything. On the contrary, the UK is looking for an opportunity to intervene.

In terms of public opinion, the reports on this India-Pakistan war can be regarded as a rare upsurge of public opinion in recent years. The direction of the war in the former colonies involves every move of British citizens.

"It's really difficult. I don't know what news will come out. Whether the Pakistani government forces smashed the Indian offensive, or the Indian army made a breakthrough, or is still in a stalemate."

Alan Wilson was rarely calm. He still felt that India would have the advantage, but he didn't know that Pakistan could last for a few days. The situation is obvious. Bangladesh is surrounded by Indian territory on three sides. The Pakistani defenders have only three divisions of 90,000 soldiers, and the attacking Indian army has three armies of more than 200,000 soldiers.

Bangladesh has a small area and no depth, and Pakistan's defenders are very isolated. This is not a special military operation by Lao Maozi. 200,000 people will swallow 600,000 square kilometers and Ukraine with 400,000 defenders.

In this war, India is the dominant side from any angle.

"Egypt wants to buy the production line of Emirates tanks!" Seeing the supreme authority sighing, Makins had to change the subject, talking about Egypt's hope of getting help from the UK in army construction. This is an order, and the same is true for Egypt. Technical support is also required.

"Oh? Let me think about it! In fact, it's not a big problem. But it's more difficult to convince the cabinet." Alan Wilson frowned slightly, indicating that this matter can be discussed.

If he remembers correctly, Egypt, as the number one military power in Arabia for a long time, is actually not completely superficial. The military industry is considered high in Arab countries, and there is an Abrams production line in the hands of the 21st century.

"In this way, first transfer the technology of catamaran missile boats to Egypt, stabilize Egypt first, and then we will figure out a solution for the rest. The problem with tanks is not a big problem. The ceramic composite armor is in our hands, so we don't have to worry about those homogeneous armors. Tanks will one day become our threat. Look at the Soviet Union’s support for Syria and Yemen, Egypt does not have an advantage in the number of tanks, and it is not impossible to want a production line.”

Whether it is Syria or Yemen, there are huge armored forces now. After the war, the Soviet Union is the most powerful army power in the world. The countries supported by the Soviet Union are also dominated by ground forces. It is scary to pick out any one. .

This can be regarded as the commonality of countries that have a good relationship with the Soviet Union. Could it be that the UK should build tanks for Egypt like the Soviet Union? It's a joke to think so. Can Britain compete with the Soviet Union and who can benefit?

In the case of not being able to compete with the Soviet Union in quantity, it is a feasible choice to establish a tank production line for Egyptian production licenses. Pick and choose, who will follow the UK in the future?

"You are the secretary general of the cabinet. This is all your job. The shipbuilding plan has been laid out and will be delivered to you in the afternoon." After taking a sip of black tea, Maggins finished his pleasant working meal.

Alan Wilson nodded, and then the two left the restaurant. It has been several years since my British original 022 catamaran missile boat was equipped with the Egyptian Navy.

Because the British shipbuilding industry was under competition from Japan, the respected richest woman opened the prelude to saving the British shipbuilding industry. Pamela Mountbatten, who took over two shipyards, used the supreme authority that no one knows more about shipbuilding than me. , the design drawings given are the first step in the shipbuilding industry.

To be honest, when these ships were first given to Egypt, the richest woman was often ridiculed for it. Both the US and the British shipyards looked at the deal with gloating eyes.

The shipbuilding colleagues of the two countries agree that even in the admirable myth of wealth, they cannot succeed in any industry. The richest woman’s shipbuilding industry started amidst friendly remarks that only poor countries’ navies can be built.

Allen Wilson comforted his wife a lot at the time, saying that they didn't know what to buy, and this was a big killer for the near-shore navy.

If it weren't for the fact that Britain has its own aircraft carrier in service, he would have wanted to talk about the concept of saturation attack and aircraft carrier killer.

That's how it was. Britain and the United States have big navies, so they naturally look down on missile boats, but the anti-air submarine fast type navy, and the missile boats approaching 50 knots, certainly can't just participate in the speedboat competition.

Fortunately, the Egyptian side did not dislike these missile boats. After all, what is there to dislike, can Egypt also dislike British products? Don't look at what level you are!

The shipbuilding plan sent by Maggins is a plan for the Royal Navy to replace the old destroyers and frigates. The first plan is based on the Tiger cruiser as the main blueprint to replace the Kokang-class destroyers.

The second is an enlarged version of the county-class destroyer. Alan Wilson recalled that there was a 82-level destroyer in the UK that could match the current indicators, but only one was built.

As for the frigate part, it is also remarkable, but in Alan Wilson's mind, the part that can be discarded at this time, I don't know if the frigate is the prototype of the Sheffield class, but if the cabinet is not satisfied with the scale of the shipbuilding plan, Then the frigate part can be cut off, and a general-purpose destroyer can be built with an 8,000-ton destroyer.

This is also Alan Wilson's bottom line. The Royal Navy with two Eagles, two Queen Elizabeths, and five Queen Victorias can't just pick and choose when building a destroyer fleet. Is that plausible? There is no shortage of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines now, and it is completely unreasonable to care about the **** ships.

"Makins, the Department of Defense has demonstrated that a reduced ship size will not save costs. Why is the quotation for the vertical launch system so high? It's not a radar system. Pamela also has a shipyard. I'll ask her when the time comes." Holding the document of the shipbuilding plan, Allen Wilson gave Makins instructions on the phone.

It's a pity that Pamela Mountbatten has returned to Perth, otherwise he can still talk to the richest woman, how to keep the cost to a minimum while ensuring the quality, that is, to persuade his wife not to make money.

Compared with ships of the same class in the United States, this shipbuilding plan is not satisfactory. He remembered that the Sheffield-class cruiser cost 200 million U.S. dollars, and the Ticonderoga-class cruiser cost 1 billion U.S. dollars. The tonnage can't go straight to the cost of the US Navy, half of it is almost the same.

Now is the time to submit the shipbuilding plan. Considering that the specific direction of the war is not yet known, this can wait for a while.

Every time I come to Hepburn's house, Supreme Authority always feels enthusiastic. Every piece of furniture here is as thick and solid as a house, and also contains a kind of simple charm; the golden sofa is covered with a layer of chestnut color. The velvet cushions, the soft and dense touch, have beautiful memories of two people everywhere.

Of course, I also received complaints. Hepburn complained as if he had suffered a big loss, "It's all my fault that I was young at the time, and I didn't understand it. I was caught by your weakness. Now that I think about it, you took advantage of it."

"I never deny this." Alan Wilson bowed his head to express his apology, not mentioning that he was busy recently because of receiving German guests, and said, "You also know that a war broke out in South Asia, and the cabinet is busy."

"You always have a reason, and it seems like I'm too stingy." Hepburn accepted the man's explanation, expressing her open-mindedness.

But Alan Wilson was not satisfied. He thought it would be better to stabilize the relationship. He took out the photo album of the two and recalled the whole process of dating with Qiuhua. The wedding photos and maternity photos are all good memories.

"It's the video record, take it out and have a look." Alan Wilson hugged Hepburn's body, arousing Ball Flower's vigilance, "Which one?"

"That's it." The supreme authority seldom prays, but in private occasions, it is not too much to watch Hepburn's first movie, the risk is two-way, after all, he is the leading actor.

When Alekseev saw Alan Wilson, Alan Wilson, who was tortured by the unknown situation in South Asia, had adjusted his mentality from the ladies of the same status as his wife, no longer like playing red police without a panoramic view Annoyed like a map, "Is India's plan to attack East Pakistan made by your Soviet Union~lightnovelpub.net~ Especially the airborne operation."

"There is absolutely no such thing." Alekseev categorically denied it, appearing to be firm even when confronted with questions by Bisso Nakadō.

Alan Wilson stared at Hao Daer's expression, and then murmured, "That's right. Class enemies like you cannot be trusted."

class enemy? Alexeyev was speechless. Isn't this what he should have said? Why did the other party speak so mellowly? He didn't know that cheap father was an existence who practiced miraculous skills.

In Washington, the capital of the United States, Kissinger suggested with a serious face that the United States must deter India's adventurous move, "We must send a signal to the Indians that the US Navy can appear anywhere in the world. Our warships should appear off the coast of India." , and supplies to Pakistan from Iran, Turkey and Jordan.”

Before coming to the White House, Kissinger had just met with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin, had a frank exchange of views, and admitted that the United States and Pakistan had a special relationship.

Nixon was lost in thought, and finally nodded, "Well, that crazy woman must pay the price."

The crazy woman Nixon was talking about was Indira Gandhi, who had visited the United States before. The negotiation between the two was very unpleasant, and now thinking about it makes Nixon feel stuck in his throat.

Nixon expressed his support for Kissinger and ordered the formation of a task force, including "the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, guided missile destroyers including USS King, USS Decatur, USS Parsons. Destroyer Bowser USS Lake Charles, USS McKean, USS Anderson, ammunition supply ship USS Harley Araka, fleet supply ship USS White Plains and an attack nuclear submarine.

It can be said that apart from the British Royal Navy and the Soviet Red Navy, this task force can send the navy of any country to the bottom of the sea within a day.
