v2 Chapter 1411: difficult situation

"However, the current situation is already obvious. Both the Bay of Bengal and Karachi, the largest city in West Pakistan, are under blockade by India. The situation in Pakistan is not optimistic. This is not counting India's siege of East Pakistan on land. What happens to the Pakistani defenders after the line is breached?"

When Burke Trend said this and looked at Alan Wilson, it was obvious that the United States might not be able to save Pakistan, which was at a disadvantage.

"Being divided and surrounded, what else can I do? Although I always laugh at India, I also admit that in this world, India is also a country that is difficult to contain if it only relies on its basic development. Some, is a country that cannot be ignored."

Alan Wilson answered objectively. In fact, if India is used by general standards, it would have risen in the 21st century.

Although it is true that ordinary people in the country are poor! But the total amount is there. National strength depends on the total amount and not per capita. From a national perspective, few countries can suppress India.

Objectively speaking, India is just a few countries in front of it, that is, the five permanent members of the United Nations, and India is not far from the strength of Britain and France. Who of the remaining Japanese and Germans would dare to say that they are better than India?

Germany is a vampire who eats the dividends of the European Union. Japan has changed from the undisputed second in the world, with a per capita surpassing the United States by 30%, to a country with a per capita figure of almost 40. What is that concept? Developed countries are not By forty, Japan is close to the tail end of the crane and is heading towards Greece's per capita.

Moreover, countries like Japan and South Korea have worked hard differently from countries at the same level in European statistics.

On the contrary, even if India does not change its domestic problems, it can still achieve a large economic aggregate by virtue of its extensive development of population area, but it was a bit difficult at the beginning.

This is as simple as a big country wanting to increase the growth rate. For example, learn from the human lighthouse, and count the citizens' self-built houses into the statistics according to the rent ratio. The human lighthouse is 1.5 trillion US dollars, and the medical expenses are 4 trillion US dollars. , Lawyer fees 1.2 trillion US dollars, this does not count the education of the three pillars of the United States.

Taking all the above ranges into the statistics, not to mention the growth rate of 5.5%, even 8% is not a problem, but the statistical data will change in the future, and the gold content is the same as that of India.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, both the area and population must be accounted for. Pakistan does not occupy both. Now it depends on how long it can last without surrendering. After all, if the defenders of East Pakistan are killed, one will be lost, and there is no possibility of people's war. , the local army and the Bengalis are not the same ethnic group.

The 40,000 Bangladeshi exiles who followed India's attack were also trained. Even if they did not lead the way, it would not be a problem for India to attack East Pakistan. India also has Bangladeshis, and there will be no language acclimatization.

"Indeed, Pakistan has too many disadvantages." John Hunter nodded in agreement. "We can't find out where Pakistan's advantages lie. Except for the US task force that is about to enter the Bay of Bengal, this may be Pakistan's The only chance to change fate."

"The navy can't decide the outcome of a land battle. What's more, pin your hopes on the United States?" Alan Wilson's mouth twitched, "The United States will not try to be a land hegemon for a long time."

The United States wanted the United Kingdom to stop the Red Navy fleet from tracking, but the United Kingdom rejected it on the grounds of internationally important waterways. After all, the south bank is still in the hands of Indonesia, so it was not the United Kingdom that blocked it.

If you listen to the momentary pleasure of the United States, who will dare to trust the United Kingdom in the future? Doing so may affect the development of Singapore, and the UK does not dare to rush forward as soon as its brain is hot.

As a humble social tool, Allen Wilson still tries his best to complete his work, such as reviewing the personnel arrangements submitted by various departments, and then making the final appointment and dismissal. Those who have Fan Jinzhong's names will be famous. The losers don't have to complain about bad luck. There are reasons, such as whether there are overseas relations such as the United States, or whether there are Jews.

This appointment and dismissal standard, anyway, Alan Wilson does not say that no one knows, he is the Secretary-General of the British Cabinet, and the wealthiest person in the UK is his wife. There are so many candidates, it is normal to be dismissed.

The fast promotion channel is definitely only a patent for a few people, and there is only a 95% elimination rate. Compared with East Asian countries, it is still very loose, and it is even more incomparable with the final evolutionary caste system of South Asia. up.

"Fast promotion channel" is characterized by fast promotion and a wide range of transfers, because as soon as you pass the exam, you will be a reserve official of the department, and your name will definitely appear on the list to be promoted. When others are thirty years old, they are still struggling haha When you are a supervisor, at the age of 30, you may already be bored with the feeling of "ruling the power of life and death" of an official with real power who can make decisions and sign.

If you don't take the fast promotion channel, the end point for a civil servant to benefit the society should end with the eighty-seven deputy secretary-generals in the hands of the deputy secretary-general.

Alan Wilson himself is in a special situation because of the chaos caused by the independence of British India and the return of a large number of civil servants. He managed this process when he was overseas.

In fact, in the current promotion process, there are also positions that can be quickly skipped. For example, a wide range of developing countries, specifically black Africa or countries with difficult conditions, and island countries on the edge of the world.

The conditions of these countries are there, and they must be allowed a proper opportunity to be promoted by leapfrogging.

Even as a supreme authority, Alan Wilson still has to look for like-minded partners to benefit the society. Obviously he has no overseas connections, so it is best not for others. He is not Jewish, so it is best not for colleagues. The thing is So simple.

"Let Frank come over." After doing all this, Alan Wilson asked the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance to come over to show his democracy.

The Ministry of Finance has a special status in Whitehall, known as the "Ministry of the Department" and "The First Department". The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the first chancellor of the exchequer.

Before the British government established the Chief of Civil Service according to the Fulton Report, the management of the British civil service team belonged to the Ministry of Finance. Even now, the Treasury Department controls the financial power of the civilian corps.

However, in the early days after the war, Britain owed a lot of debts, and at the same time, Britain was forming cliques everywhere to protect the already unaffordable Britain from facing the Soviet Union, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was paid more attention at that time.

It must be admitted that Alan Wilson has caught up with the good times, but although the Ministry of Finance is always talked about now, its importance is not the same as it was at the beginning. He asked Frank to talk about it because he respected the authority of the Ministry of Finance. By the way, I communicated about printing some money to invest in the construction of post-war Bangladesh.

Printing money is also done by the UK, but it is not as big as the US. Before repaying the US foreign debt, the UK really dare not at all. You can do that too.

Frank naturally felt that there was no problem, and it was not invested in the domestic market, but placed in Bangladesh, depending on whether the Minister of the Exchequer Callaghan would let go.

"I don't know if it's influenced by the polls. Recently, the Conservative Party is in the House of Commons and thinks that the Prime Minister is inactive." Frank deserves inaction because Britain has not exerted its influence on the former colonies.

"The Conservative Party is able to do this. Being an opposition party is tough." Allen Wilson said with a chuckle, "It's only here now, before getting involved. Two strategic transport planes have arrived in Nepal, in the name of recruiting Nepalese soldiers." In the past, New Delhi had no reason to block, and we have time to react when the time comes."

"Now East Pakistan has been completely isolated, and the defenders have been cut off from all channels of foreign aid. In addition to the plight on land, the sea has also been blocked."

Facing the fully equipped Indian aircraft carrier formation, Pakistan's eastern naval force is a typical "air-submarine quick configuration". In addition to the shore artillery deployed by the Navy at the base, it also relies on Air Force aircraft, four gunboats and submarines that can hide in inland rivers.

If a joint combat force can be formed, it will be enough to pose a threat to the Vikrant. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This configuration is also the impregnable wall that many naval underdeveloped countries often boast about.

"Isn't there a rumor that the Soviet Navy is rushing to the Bay of Bengal?" Frank asked, "The United States also hopes that we will stop the Soviet Red Navy in the Strait of Malacca."

"We can't afford to mess with them." Alan Wilson grimaced when he heard someone talking about the Soviet Union. "This country is stinky and tough. What can you do with it? Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviets have been suffocating I want to take revenge for my strength, they are going to the United States, we stop it? Are you kidding me?"

"It's true, we really can't do anything about them." Frank agreed after listening. Since the supreme authority said to wait, let's wait and see what changes.

The fighting in East Pakistan is still going on. It can be said that the Pakistani defenders are already fighting in various places. With Dhaka as the center, they have been divided into several areas, and the situation is quite bad.

Facing the advancing Indian armored forces and infantry, some Pakistani soldiers of course acted bravely and stood firm to prevent the Indian army from advancing. Even if they all died in the position, they must stop the Indian army! Otherwise, India's iron wall encirclement strategy will succeed.

The battle was brutal. Some soldiers were even covered with explosives. They wanted to die together with the Indian tanks. The Pakistani ministries, which could no longer support each other, were already in a very dangerous situation. This crisis was also known by radio to Yahya Khan, who was also in a dilemma.

If East Pakistan is lost by doing nothing, Yahya Khan will definitely end up in a tragic end, but if he launches an offensive and fights an all-out war with India, the Indian army, which is already on the verge of attack, will not let him do what he wants. The fate of Yahya Khan Just like the precarious East Pakistan defenders, it is uncertain.
