v2 Chapter 1428: prime minister's navy

"This matter?" Harold Wilson was not hearing it for the first time. In fact, Whitehall had been making sidelines for some time, but the citizens were not enthusiastic about the size of the Royal Navy.

Some public opinion that the importance of the navy in this era has declined still exists. In view of this, this makes the government have to think more about this matter. Defense Secretary Dennis Healy is also skeptical.

"The cabinet's concerns are justified. In fact, there are certain risks. However, the comparison is close to the prospect of reinforcing the Royal Navy at a low cost in the future. The military gains are not generally large, and the navy is useless. Ignorant remarks, if the navy is useless, the Soviet Union will not catch up after the Cuban Missile Crisis, if the navy is useless, how can we intervene in this operation in the Bay of Bengal, can we swim past it?"

Alan Wilson said this and took out a piece of intelligence, "This is the intelligence we got from East Asia, and it is now temporarily named Luda-class destroyer. Even if their country's finances are very average, they are also developing their navy as much as possible."

The Luda class is not advanced according to the standards of the Royal Navy, but it is a new product after all. The Prime Minister does not understand it. Alan Wilson can make it more advanced. Although the tonnage is smaller, the full-load displacement is less than 4,000 tons. Take this out Intelligence is just to prove, the trend of naval development.

In fact, the route taken by a certain major country is still the Soviet Red Navy's centralized anti-ship approach. The Soviet Red Navy is equipped with guided missile cruisers and nuclear submarines, while a certain major country is equipped with guided missile destroyers and conventional submarines.

The largest submarine force in the world is of course the Red Navy of the Soviet Union, and the second largest submarine force is a certain country. This is of course a quantitative statistic. If we distinguish between nuclear power and conventional power, the United States has the second largest submarine force. From this Time to analyze, now the People's Navy should serve hundreds of submarines.

"The Royal Pacific Fleet, facing the small Soviet Red Navy with nearly the same configuration, is indeed very stressful. You must know that the main force of the Pacific Fleet is mostly composed of battleships. It is no problem to deal with the submarine force during World War II. , but the current potential enemy is not technologically advanced, but it must be much more advanced than the Germans."

On the surface, there is no major country among the top ten navies in the world, but in fact, the People's Navy is not weak in terms of tonnage.

Even if a submarine is less than 2,000 tons, it will be 200,000 tons for a hundred search. Key outsiders do not know the size of the navy of a major country. It's like no one knows what future generations of North Korea are researching.

Although India, a powerful and impressive country, has an aircraft carrier sold by the United Kingdom, the disadvantage of submarines facing the surface fleet may not necessarily happen to opponents like the Indian Navy. One-on-one is a disadvantage. Can dozens of ships be said to be a disadvantage when fighting the Indian fleet?

Harold Wilson was instilled with the theory of a certain great power threat with a blank face, and said in disbelief, "It's not so exaggerated, can it compete with the Royal Pacific Fleet?"

"It would be an exaggeration to bring the Atlantic Fleet to East Asia. But what about the battleships of the Royal Pacific Fleet? Just?" Alan Wilson hesitated to speak. Now the role of the Pacific Fleet in the Royal Navy is probably equivalent to a garbage dump, and the tonnage is commendable. But only the tonnage can be achieved, and the tonnage is supported by battleships.

"To safeguard the current British interests, a new shipbuilding plan is inevitable. We can use this operation in the Bay of Bengal as an opportunity." Alan Wilson followed the temptation, starting from the economic, military, and influence aspects. Anyway, if the Prime Minister does not agree today, he will I can't say I won't leave, but I will definitely come back tomorrow.

"If the United States believes that there is no need to use the navy to guarantee the circulation of goods, why does it continue to build ships?" Alan Wilson kept talking.

"If you've already prepared a shipbuilding plan, just take it out." Harold Wilson looked helpless. The relationship between the cabinet and Whitehall was not completely harmonious, and Whitehall had always been very friendly on certain issues. Persistence, but generally speaking, when he, the prime minister, insists on one thing in particular, Whitehall will fully cooperate, but this requires some adjustments.

Since the Prime Minister is so active, according to the previous idea, Alan Wilson sent the plan of the 10,000-ton cruiser and the 5,000-ton destroyer to No. 10 Downing Street. If it is rejected, the 8,000-ton and 4,000-ton destroyer fleet plans will be replaced.

Then take the time to say goodbye to my grand son's trip to Bangladesh. This is a place where dreams start, and maybe this is an opportunity to soar into the sky.

Vivien Leigh expressed her reluctance for her son's trip, "You are the secretary general of the cabinet, and it is not a matter of arranging a job. In the end, you sent your son to the place where he just finished the war."

"Can you stop asking questions like what you need and what you need? Do you want to contribute to your promotion? Didn't I also squat in New Delhi at the beginning?" Alan Wilson said with a serious look.

"You?" Vivien Leigh curled her lips. When the man in front of him was squatting in New Delhi, he got herself, Heidi Rama, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo and Ingrid Berg. Ladies and gentlemen, now how do you say it seems like a big loss?

Especially the process of getting her, not to mention the low-level methods, but also not to mention being aboveboard. It can only be said that the supreme authority of the dog-like people has not learned well since childhood.

Alan Wilson talked directly to Hao Daer, "When I arrived in Bangladesh, I saw the Sikh troops with cloth on their heads and wristbands. Fifty percent of the officers in the British Indian Army, 40 percent of the naval officers, and one-third of the air force officers are Sikhs.”

The relationship between Britain and Sikhism started from the Great Indian Uprising in 1857. At that time, the British had insufficient troops in India and had to defend the British family. Facing the Great Indian Uprising, they recruited directly from Sikhs. One hundred thousand Sikh regiments were sent to suppress the Indian uprising. From a certain perspective, Sikhism is an accomplice of British colonial rule.

Alan Wilson believes that there is still some enthusiasm. After all, there is still a Sikh community in the UK. It is rare to position an entire ethnic group as an object that can be wooed and give it the treatment of the upper class in India.

"Understood." David nodded, "When I go there, I will definitely deal with the local Indian army and create a harmonious atmosphere."

"Leave diplomatic matters to me. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will explain that they will not garrison troops for a long time, but only restore local peace. As for some hardworking workers, Burmese people are not very hardworking first. Myanmar's natural environment is not bad. It seems impossible. To avoid it, we have to find a solution from South Korea. Of course, it would be best if it replaces South Korea.” Alan Wilson said, “I still have a lot of things to follow up. Some problems have only just been figured out recently. "

"Which aspect?" David was a little surprised. The old father made a decision faster than others. If the cabinet disagreed, he would tirelessly persuade him until he achieved his goal. There are also questions that can be thought about for so long before they can be answered.

"The positioning of Xiangjiang." Alan Wilson replied slowly, "You should deal with the Bangladesh issue first. At least in the near future, you don't need to care about this issue."

The issue of Xiangjiang is a very important issue for the UK, and there are huge interests in it. From the perspective of the UK, it is natural to want to retain vested interests. But if it is supported by the two projects of finance and real estate, it is obviously impossible to support it, and these two things are not enough to form a check.

To be honest, Xiangjiang, which only has finance and real estate, is not enough for the imperial capital to weigh in. The fate depends entirely on the mood of the imperial capital, and Britain will not be able to use much force if it becomes a big trouble. After all, they have all returned, and even if Britain planted a hidden pile before leaving, it will not help.

The results similar to those in Alan Wilson's memory are unacceptable. Although both countries are uncomfortable, Britain, which is obviously no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, is the one that suffers more.

Alan Wilson once hoped that Malaya would take the TSMC route, but judging from the current situation, the population of Malaya can no longer afford more industries. After all, shipbuilding and automobiles, the two major employers in the United Kingdom, have been divided from Malaya, not to mention the chemical industry, and the already advantageous industries in Malaya~lightnovelpub.net~ Adding them in will not improve anything.

If he took the TSMC route in Xiangjiang, then this kind of development must be different from the Xiangjiang he remembered, and the consequence would be to defraud the island.

This is not a problem, and it is not in the interests of the UK. If there is a company similar to TSMC in Hong Kong, it can bring Hong Kong more long-term prosperity, and the UK can keep its vested interests and make more long-term profits.

With the semiconductor industry in Xiangjiang, it is also beneficial to Britain to become more powerful. At least with the support of the citizens of Xiangjiang, we can talk more about how to benefit the imperial capital. There are more benefits, and the UK can also share points from it. Thinking about it, it is a win-win situation. If this is done properly, SMIC may not even exist.

"Obviously, this kind of energy-intensive and high-input industry is not needed by the people of Deceit Island." Alan Wilson was performing self-hypnosis, and it would be nice if Deception Island was more original.

The experts with the most administrative experience among the civil servants finally set off in the ardent expectation of the supreme authority. I hope they will go well and benefit the society when they arrive in Bangladesh.

The bottom line is to quickly restore order. In the future, the per capita income must be higher than that of India, no matter how much higher it is, even if it is one pound higher.

This goal should not be difficult. After independence, Bangladesh is a country with a single ethnicity and a single religion. With the British guaranteeing national security, just work hard.

When Bangladesh develops, we can look forward to the second step, which is to spread the Great Bengalism and let India know what a single nation-state will bring to India.

I don’t know if India has started summarizing the experience of this India-Pakistan war. The British knife must have been unexpected. The Indians only prepared one table of food, but two tables of guests came. How can this be eaten?
