Alan Wilson has a lot of things to do, such as inquiring about Britain's gold reserves from the Treasury, investigating the size and service life of the Royal Navy, all of which are to better assess the current level of British national strength and better formulate diplomatic policies. policy.

There is no need to verify some data that can be seen at a glance, such as the remaining colony area and population.

Of course, this does not mean that it is not important. For any country, land area and population are important.

He had just attacked the South Korean ambassador before, and the criteria for judging were land area and population, and he told the diplomats who followed him that if it was China and India, he would definitely be polite.

Not to mention that he has never found anything worthy of praise in Korean culture. Even if South Korea is really a cultural power, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the UK. The UK just overthrew France, the center of European culture, and made Japan An unstoppable reputation.

Could it be that Britain has secured its position as the first colonial empire because it is more cultured? It doesn't depend on the size and population of the colony, who cares about culture that has no criteria for judging at all.

"3,500 tons of gold, including the reserves of other countries in London, 4,200 tons. The entire Royal Navy has 2.1 million tons of warships." After getting the desired data, Alan Wilson was very pleased , must be much stronger than the historical period in my mind.

The size and tonnage of the Royal Navy are nearly twice that of the current Soviet Red Navy, and it is quite powerful even if it is not compared with the US Navy.

In the thirteenth year after the war, after continuous upgrading, the tonnage of the U.S. Navy dropped to 9.4 million tons, which is less than five times that of the Royal Navy.

For the United Kingdom, this is already very difficult, because the Royal Navy has a large number of old warships to be decommissioned, and it can maintain the tonnage. It has already shown that it is completely overthinking to increase the tonnage in a stable replacement.

Britain has sold so many aircraft carriers, and the Royal Navy can still maintain its original size. Marshal Mountbatten has done everything he can.

After the United States has undergone substantial expansion during the war, the warships of the US Navy will reach their service life in the 1970s and will be retired in large numbers. At that time, the U.S. Navy will usher in a large-scale downsizing.

On this earth, the U.S. Navy after World War II has always been in a position of seeking defeat alone. Isn't there any challenger?

Not really, the peak of the Soviet Red Navy was in 1987, when the total tonnage of the Soviet Red Navy was 3.5 million tons, and the total tonnage of the US Navy was 3.8 million tons. on one level.

After 20 years of construction, the Soviet Red Navy in the 1980s has grown into a global navy, although it is still not an opponent of the US Navy in terms of surface fleet. If you go all out and fight the United States desperately, you can die together.

Ironically, that was when Reagan was the president of the United States. I really don’t know how Reagan would have completed the six hundred naval warship plan if the map leader hadn’t come to power, otherwise he would bow and apologize like the Japanese?

After some data collection, Alan Wilson felt that Britain's resistance in all aspects should be much stronger than the original history of losing its soul, excluding the option of war threat. It is not easy for the United States to force Britain to submit.

Most of what is being done now is to prepare for possible changes in the United States, such as Kennedy. The difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is that the Republican Party will either stay still or go to war, at least it can be as good as it looks. And the Democratic Party is a typical up and down.

Take the current Eisenhower administration as an example. In addition to expanding the nuclear arsenal, the Republican Party led by him is most concerned about domestic infrastructure construction. Really no trouble.

Although the historical Suez Canal War happened to break out during Eisenhower's tenure, Alan Wilson believes that if the Democratic government encounters this incident, it will definitely take the opportunity to make Britain miserable, and the Republican Party is not particularly ruthless.

He knew in his heart that when Eisenhower's term ended, the last trace of isolationism in the Republican Party would disappear completely. No matter who the U.S. government is in the future, they will implement policies in a more aggressive manner, that's for sure.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a more confident United States in the future. First, we must measure whether the current resistance of the United Kingdom is up to standard.

After communicating with the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Finance, colleagues have reached a small-scale cautious optimism.

At this moment, Alan Wilson is of course not qualified to say, "I'm back, I'm back."

But the stage of Britain's creeping retreat has come to an end, and colleagues in Whitehall are quite optimistic about this.

London International Airport, the respected President of the Mountbatten Group, finally arrived in the loyal London, with a harvest of 200 million US dollars, Pamela Mountbatten was full of spirits, and her steps were much lighter.

Rebs once said that standing on the cusp, a pig can go to the sky. This sentence fully expresses the importance of opportunity.

Now Pamela Mountbatten fits the description of this sentence very well. It is not that she does not have the figure of 200 million US dollars, but it has never been so easy like this time.

"Honey." The female president who saw her husband at a glance almost jumped into the man's arms.

"It's still like a little girl, and she's already a mother." Alan Wilson patted his wife on the back lightly behind him, and whispered softly, "It must be very tiring after going to the United States. Pay attention to rest?"

"I am full of energy now, and some physical fatigue is nothing." While speaking, Pamela Mountbatten yawned, expressing that it was definitely not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface, "Today is a working day, and I will trouble you to pick it up. "

"It's okay, it's just at noon. The minister will understand." Alan Wilson looked relaxed. Foreign Minister Harold Wilson should be reading Khrushchev's visit report at this time, so there is no time to find him.

Regarding Khrushchev's visit to a certain major country, the largest country in the world today and the most populous country are still in the same camp. From a diplomatic perspective, we cannot be overly concerned.

But fortunately, there is currently no news about the UK, which in itself is the greatest good news.

The minister was concerned about the international situation, and naturally, some trivial matters fell on Alan Wilson, such as how to deal with Icelandic fishermen.

In a dark cabin that smelled of salt and sea, fishermen drank on their elbows at a table. Compared with their stature, the cabin was too short, and one end was narrowed down, like the belly of a sea gull hollowed out.

The cabin shook slightly, and let out a monotonous sigh, which was so slow that it made people fall asleep.

Outside, it should be the sea and night, but nothing can be seen from inside. The only exit was from the top of the cabin, closed with a wooden cover, illuminated by an old swinging chandelier.

Fires were lit in the stoves, toasting their damp clothes, giving off steam mingled with the smell of earthen pipes.

A clumsy table occupied the whole of the living room, leaving just enough space for a person to slip in and sit on a narrow wooden box close to the oak planks; their heads; and behind them, what appeared to be cots dug out of thick square logs, were open like graves for the dead.

All the boards were old and rough, corroded by damp and salt water, worn smooth by their hands over time.

The Icelandic ambassador eloquently explained the difficulty of the Icelandic fisherman, hoping to arouse the empathy of the British people in front of him.

It's a pity that the ambassador didn't know that the best way to knock down the so-called British gentleman in front of him was to use a beauty trick. In addition, this person was powerful in any way, and there was no so-called empathy at all. He ignored the eloquent exposition and even wanted to laugh.

"Dear ambassador, isn't Iceland exploring the North American market?" Alan Wilson asked with an afterthought after he had already picked up the Cuban cigar brought back by his wife~lightnovelpub.net~.

He was completely standing up and talking without back pain. With Iceland's position, how could it be possible to open up the North American market and grab Newfoundland next to North America? Newfoundland is higher than Iceland in terms of geographical location and resource reserves, and it also has the bonus of the same language and the same kind of feelings.

Even if it is a price war, Newfoundland, supported by an offshore financial center, has enough confidence to make the Icelanders lose their pants.

With so many unfavorable factors, can Iceland still compete with Newfoundland? Isn't that the hell?

Last year's European Community meeting, Iceland's big stick was so dizzy that it finally knew the consequences of being alone overseas and really angering these European countries.

Of course, the United States also wants to give Iceland a hand, and communicated through diplomatic channels, but the ban is a resolution at the European Community meeting, and the European Community meeting cannot always be held, so what is the sanctity?

"Iceland is also part of Europe!" the Icelandic ambassador said, "Denmark is also on Iceland's side."

"The Danes are really magnanimous." Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and said in a sarcastic tone, "If it were the UK, it might not be so quick to have a drink with the independent territory."

Anyway, as long as Alan Wilson is here, Ireland will not even think about entering the European Community. As for the relationship between Iceland and Denmark? Denmark is not a member of the European Community, so what the Icelandic ambassador said can be understood as two members who are not members of the European Community want to do something to the member states of the European Community.

The Icelandic ambassador expressed a misunderstanding, "Iceland is willing to sign a maritime agreement with the UK to make up for the losses of British fishermen."

"It turns out that Iceland knows that British fishermen have suffered a lot." Alan Wilson nodded knowingly, "We thought that the Icelanders didn't know this."
