v2 Chapter 889: UK follow up

Before the people left Aden, Alan Wilson received a telegram relayed by Whitehall.

Another telegram, from Kuala Lumpur, was about an order from France. In order to gain British support in the Algerian war, France was willing to use part of its economic interests to keep Britain on its side.

Even if the United States fought in Afghanistan in later generations, it also paid for the establishment of certain infrastructure.

Although under the superb financial skills of the United States, every construction in Afghanistan is the most expensive in history, but it cannot be denied that the United States paid for the reconstruction, but it spent too much money.

Part of this part of the raw material order was reserved for the Malayan colony. This is the result of Alan Wilson's active promotion. After all, he did not expect to make money, just to ensure the operating rate. Satisfaction with keeping the industrial offices of the Malayan colony running.

Such a conscientious seller should be noticed by the Paris government through his wife's connections.

Between the successful conclusion of the Aden meeting, John also joked that once the largest oil refining center in Asia was built in Singapore, he would rely on Alan Wilson's breath, "But after this missile test, it seems that the troubles in Poland are gradually subsiding..."

"Yeah, I don't know whose idea is to fill up the fuel in Poland and launch it into the Kazakh shooting range." Alan Wilson sighed after listening, "But the shocking significance is obvious, and the incidents in Poland and Hungary seem to be subsided. ."

The test launch of the Soviet intercontinental missile has shocked the free world, not to mention the friends of its own camp. At this time, if Moscow takes advantage of the free world to be stunned, if it directly takes action to clean up the thorns, maybe it will calm things down.

"The Eastern camp is really difficult to deal with." John chuckled. "I think Gerald Edward is the one who is most stressed. Although we are more stressed than our colleagues in Africa, we can't compare to him."

"That's true." Alan Wilson did not deny that Gerald Edward was the commissioner in Germany, and that was the front line of the Cold War.

However, it depends on how big the concept of the East is in the mouths of colleagues. According to the traditional European perspective, the concept of the West is actually very small. An accurate summary is that west of the German border, the entire America is the rear. The eastern border of Germany is east.

But from the perspective of other civilizations, the concept of the West will be amazing. Among the big countries, there are very few who consider themselves to be Eastern countries. Peace Religion is also a standard Western civilization, and it originated in the same place as Christianity. Most of the countries where the two major religions dominate are Western cultures.

Even Iran considers itself part of Western civilization, not to mention the Soviet Union. Summarizing the East and the countries that consider themselves to be the East are nothing more than the countries of the East including India. East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia are all of the East. The rest is what is called the West.

The West under this concept is astonishingly large in terms of population and area, but European countries do not recognize it.

The Soviet Union is Schrödinger's Western country, and when it is strong, it has been a part of the Western camp since ancient times. Get out if you're weak.

Alan Wilson accompanied his old colleague around the Persian Gulf and inspected the airport project. Then he secretly left Aden with Baolian Gaodai.

Bringing Pauline Gaudai, who is determined to be an adoptive mother, to Kuala Lumpur, let her meet the potbellied Anna. Then it took off to Australia and appeared in front of Pamela Mountbatten.

"Why are you here?" Pamela Mountbatten asked suspiciously, looking at her husband who had not even a drop of it.

"The Wumaila launch site is an important asset of the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson took out the telegram from Whitehall to his wife, and said sternly, "The cabinet asked me to fully follow up on the blue-light missile project and provide support in any sense. There is no doubt that this project must be burning money, and all the extra expenses will go through my hands.”

In other words, this time it should have belonged to the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom will follow. At least the current government has to follow up. Whether it is missiles or rockets, the UK has to join the race.

"There will be a large number of people stationed at the Wumaila launch site soon, my dear, if possible, can you help communicate with Canberra." Alan Wilson reached out and shook it in front of his wife, looking solemn.

"Leave it to me." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and then said embarrassedly, "The blue light missile failed, you are very disappointed."

"Failure is the mother of success. It doesn't matter." Alan Wilson comforted without mind. "This kind of project is made of money. I want to meet the person in charge of the space center. Tell him the mission goals planned by the government. "

Alan Wilson, who arrived in Australia, immediately went to work and checked the Wumaila launch site to determine the infrastructure and the flow of funds. For this reason, he didn't even have time to invite his sister-in-law to ride the rocket, which made Her Royal Highness, who had already experienced the joy of riding the rocket, secretly annoyed, Don't my brother-in-law like being passive?

At this moment, Attlee, who replaced Prime Minister after the war, gave an impassioned speech to MPs from both parties in the House of Commons, and this image also entered thousands of households in the UK through television.

Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke, not far from Prime Minister Attlee, watched the prime minister who was garnering bipartisan support.

"The breakthrough progress of the aerospace industry has made future competition not limited to two-dimensional space, but rapidly transformed to a wide-ranging three-dimensional space. The major powers in the world today are all competing on the same level. As a world power, Great Britain faces new challenges. The challenge will never back down, this generation will be like the ancient and glorious fathers who will overcome the challenge and maintain the order and peace of the civilized world."

"The government will mobilize all forces to join this competition, which clearly shows that Great Britain is not afraid of challenges not only on land, but also in the sea, and in the sky."

Every time there is a gap in Prime Minister Attlee's speech, Labour MPs, who occupy half of the House of Commons, erupt into applause.

"Britain can get support from the Commonwealth, get support from Europe. Get support from anywhere. With 120,000 points of effort, let's set our sights on the distant universe, perhaps, this is another era of great sailing."

The House of Commons erupted in warm applause. The era of great seafaring is a beautiful era that has made countless British dreams come to life. The United Kingdom was originally only a marginal country in Europe, but in the era of great voyages, it soared into the sky, creating the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.

"Adversity can test a person's character; only extraordinary circumstances can show extraordinary integrity; on calm seas, all ships can fight together to win; when the iron fist of fate is at stake, only the brave and wise can take it easy. "

Prime Minister Attlee ended his speech with Shakespeare's famous quote, "The whole world is a giant stage, and everyone in the world is an actor. We will make a choice, and we will not regret it."

"No regrets." Labour MPs, who occupy half of the House of Commons, stood up and applauded, expressing support for their prime minister.

"If it weren't for the election, it would almost be certain to win the election again." Norman Brooke raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

Prime Minister Attlee came up with a special draft containing the budget, which was overwhelmingly passed in the House of Commons.

The draft includes an allocation of £90 million to invest in aerospace development funding. Aerospace research institutions are under the unified management of the Ministry of National Defense, and military product development expenses are covered by defense expenses, reducing conflicts between developers and users.

In 16 universities including Oxford University, University of London, University of Cambridge, University of Bristol, University of Manchester, University of Glasgow, University of Southampton, etc., set up aviation departments and aviation professional colleges and universities.

The Royal Aeronautical Society and the Interstellar Navigation Society of the United Kingdom were established on these universities, and the accumulated talents were called to go to the Wumaila launch site, and negotiated with Australia to ensure the treatment and protection of relevant researchers.

Selected as a cabinet minister who is also in charge of aerospace development, ensuring the UK's emphasis on aerospace. The appointment unexpectedly fell to Harold Wilson, who was only forty years old. Surprised many Labour MPs.

Harold Wilson, who had just taken office, immediately packed his bags and went to Australia to learn about the situation first-hand~lightnovelpub.net~ Newspapers throughout the UK were discussing hotly, Attlee, the prime minister who had led three governments after the war , an address to Congress in the aerospace sector, which has been flat for two years, or trailing the Conservatives at all, with a slight uptick.

In the ten years after the war, the United Kingdom hardly expressed its views on international affairs, which is in stark contrast to the frequent actions of France. This time, many countries were surprised.

Even in Moscow and Washington, Khrushchev, who had just shut up his opponents in Poland with the intercontinental missile test, was preparing to quell the conflict in Budapest and didn't care.

Far away in Washington, Eisenhower and Dulles also discussed this, "I don't know if Britain just wants to turn over, or it really recalls the glory of the past."

"Perhaps both." Secretary of State Dulles was noncommittal. "Britain's recovery after the war was amazing. Especially compared to the rest of Europe, maybe we were still too much aid during the war. I didn't expect them to actually be able to adjust."

"Anyway, we have to follow up. If the UK can face the advantages of the Soviet Union and respond head-on, and we can't, others will think that we are cowards." Eisenhower said with a firm voice.

Just three days later, the U.S. Senate passed a larger bipartisan bill securing full support for the aerospace industry as the U.S. response to the Soviet test of an intercontinental ballistic missile after the U.K. was set to contest.
