British civil servant

"Togliatti in Italy and Torres in France have both gone. The ruling parties in more than a dozen countries, and dozens of parties that follow the baton of the Soviet Union. Now gather in Moscow." Alan Wilson nodded, indicating that he knew this thing.

Not only did he know about this, but he also knew that a certain big country had challenged the status of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.On the one hand, he persuaded the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to be lenient with Molotov and others, and on the other hand, he did not shy away from key politics in front of other fraternal political parties, which put the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in a very embarrassing situation.

He also knew that the slogan of surpassing the British and catching up with the United States will be put forward immediately after the Moscow meeting, but he does not know whether the super British will surpass the British Malaya colony this time, because the steel output of the Malaya colony has surpassed that of the British Native.

Generally speaking, this Moscow meeting looked lively, but in fact, Khrushchev was taking advantage of such a big battle.

This was the beginning of a rift in the Soviet bloc.As for the combined fleet and radio stations, they are all things in the future, and they may not necessarily happen. The Soviet Union now holds Hokkaido in its hands.

Whatever he thinks, he just sits and watches, waiting for the situation to change in favor of the free world.

It is the best way to deal with this kind of problem coldly, even for the Soviet Union. If he is the leader of the Soviet Union, he will leave a certain big country alone from now on.

But having said that, isn't Alan Wilson doing similar things, except that he digs the corner of the United States.

"Don't look so lively, maybe it's the beginning of a turn from prosperity to decline." Alan Wilson comforted his wife and sister-in-law. "Of course this is just my personal opinion. It's best not to spread it."

In particular, the U.S. should not be allowed to know that the U.S. is still in a one-vs-two mentality. This kind of mentality is very good and should continue to be maintained.

Seeing that his son was free from any neonatal illnesses, Alan Wilson traveled lightly to the Wumera launch site to inquire about the progress of the British space program.

At the Wumera launch site, Alan Wilson met with many people in charge, including Turing himself.

"There is no doubt that the Soviet Union took the upper hand in the space race, putting the entire free world in an embarrassing position, and the United States is especially embarrassed." Alan Wilson thought about the United States casually, and asked how the UK's satellite launch preparations were done. up.

There is no problem with blue light missiles being used for rocket launch missions, and it is sufficient for satellite launches.

Soon, Rod Harper, the person in charge of the launch site, took out a civilian rocket based on the blue light missile. The first stage of the rocket consists of an engine nacelle, a propellant tank, and equipment equipped with servo electronic components and instruments.

The liquid rocket engine system has a total of eight combustion chambers, is fueled by four turbopumps, and provides pitch, yaw, and roll control.The second-level equipment bay houses servo electronics, telemetry equipment, flight procedure devices, tracking beacons, and self-destruct finger command receivers.

The third stage is a rocket motor and satellite.The first and second stages of the rocket send the satellite to altitudes of 45 kilometers and 10 kilometers respectively.[-] minutes into the rocket launch, the third stage ignites.into the predetermined track.

"Judging from the several blue-light missile tests we have conducted, our success rate is still very high, at least higher than that of the United States. Of course, I also know that aerospace is still somewhat different from missiles after all. It cannot be because of the recent few missile tests. If the number is very high, it is believed that the space satellite will be successfully launched.”

Seeing what these researchers were going to say, Alan Wilson was blocked at both ends, and then expressed his best wishes, "We have good wishes and prepare with a normal heart. Success or failure is left to God to decide."

"Alan, thank you for your understanding." Turing sighed. As the person in charge of the data center, he was still timid about a new field.Especially now that the world's space craze is being noticed, there is a lot of psychological pressure.

"Oh, my friend, take it easy." Alan Wilson filled the chicken soup with a smile, "It won't be more dangerous than the Battle of Britain."

Chapter 921 McCarthy's NASA

How long has it been since Turing has been out of the Wumera launch site, and he has no idea that the imperial commissioner, who has always taken the overall situation into consideration, has shamelessly deceived him. How can the public opinion be as light as Alan Wilson said?

Just the adjectives of Britain's darkest moment on the left and the British air battle on the right, even Dunkirk can play a positive role.

This is the case in Britain, not to mention the United States. Politicians, scholars, and lawyers, whether relevant or not, have to say something about it.

Most people see a cosmic significance in the success of the Soviet Union: the Roman Empire ruled the world because it was good at building roads, then people moved to the seas, and the British Empire ruled because it had ships.Now, the Reds have established a foothold in outer space.

Does that mean that even if we launch a better satellite into space next year, it won't be reassuring.Americans periodically grapple with why America is weak.

The press was awakened, and "Time" said: The United States has always been proud of its technological capabilities, scientific and technological strength, and being the first to achieve achievements.Now, no matter how much rational explanation can be given, the whole country is plunged into a sudden and deep disappointment, and Americans are overshadowed by this red moon.

The moment of Sputnik had a huge impact. As the upsurge of discussions among various political experts became more widespread, the Soviet Union's technology was more deeply understood, and in turn, the United States became more worried.

The technical filter of the Soviet Union is becoming more and more intense in the discussion of the key administrators. Success is success, especially in comparison with the failure of the United States to launch satellites earlier.

In the first round of the space race, the United States has undisputedly failed. From the mentality of being ahead of any country in any technology, with only God in mind, to the mentality of what the Soviet Union is going to do.

The Soviet Union succeeded in briefly displacing God in the hearts of American citizens.The words of the Pope, who have several divisions, are partially fulfilled at this moment.

All this was unknown to Turing, who had never been out of the Wumela launch site. In order to relieve the pressure on the British researchers at the launch site, Alan Wilson did not disclose a word, but instead talked about it. Absorb nutrition from the theory of victory and defeat, and give confidence to the British aerospace elite at the launch site.

"In fact, in a sense, the difficulty we face is lower than that of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's launch site is in Kazakhstan, which is a high-latitude region, and the Wumera launch site is close to the equator. Our launch will have some assistance."

The easiest way to launch an orbiting satellite is to aim and launch it eastward along the equator, which can take advantage of the acceleration of the earth's rotation. It is precisely because of the geographical disadvantages of the Soviet Union that the United States sighed at the Soviet technology. It takes a technological edge over the US to do the same.

You must know that before the first artificial satellite of the Soviet Union went into space, the United States actually tried to launch it twice, but both failed.

The United States does not think that the Soviet Union will succeed psychologically, but the Soviet Union really succeeded.

"Gentlemen, even if you send a potato to the sky, with our advantage in public opinion, we can make it stand shoulder to shoulder with Sputnik in meaning. The most important thing is to maintain a peaceful mind."

The words were not pleasant, but the person in charge of the launch site, including Turing, still felt the kindness of Alan Wilson.It must also be realized that, anyway, the Mountbatten Group also donated money.

In Washington, the capital of the United States, Alan Wilson's best friend in the United States, McCarthy, is under some doubts recently. A comedy master who had a huge influence in the United States in the past died in a car accident in New York after the movie "King" was released and died in Europe.

Some remarks believed that this was the black hand of the CIA, and further suspected McCarthy himself.

This kind of completely innocent disaster made McCarthy very angry. Of course, he knew that the film Chaplin made was satirizing himself, but the death of the dwarf had nothing to do with him.

Chaplin's death had major repercussions in Europe before the Soviet Union launched the first Sputnik.Especially in Britain, McCarthy complained of being suspected when he corresponded with his friends.

Allen Wilson comforted his American friends, saying in the letter that accidents always come unexpectedly.

Chaplin's death was just an accident, and it does not rule out that the Soviets were discrediting you, an anti-Soviet fighter.

"My old friend Joseph, the Soviet Union convened the Moscow Conference with the help of the launch of the first artificial satellite. Even if it is not in Europe, the gathering of dozens of political parties from various countries can make people feel strong pressure. Needless to say, two things It's a huge demonstration when it all comes together, but sadly there's not much we can do about it."

"Sometimes I am very envious of your environment. You are a politician, and I am just an administrative official. I can't speak to the country's major policies. Even if I have prepared a series of plans, but because the British The United States is very enviable that some of the existing problems cannot be realized.”

The almost nasty flattery reminded McCarthy of Alan Wilson's capable image again, and he said to himself, "Alan is also very helpless now, if only he were an American."

"Maybe my catch-up plan can only be completed by the United States. The United Kingdom is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. To deal with the threat of the Soviet bloc, the entire country must be mobilized to deal with it. These plans that the United Kingdom cannot implement may be possible help you."

Alan Wilson, already a full-fledged bureaucrat, proposed a public-private partnership in the telegram?Oh no, it is some ideas of public-private cross-border joint organization.

After this passage, Alan Wilson's tone changed to a tone of hating iron for nothing and having no way to serve the country, which made McCarthy feel the good intentions of his old friend.

"Now the whole world is paying attention to the race in the space field. Whoever can face it bravely will undoubtedly become a hero of the free world. It seems that our Prime Minister seems unwilling to face such a challenge at this age. "

"Hey!" McCarthy sighed involuntarily, and Alan Wilson wanted to fight, but Britain felt sad for the status quo of the Soviet Union. It seems that the free world needs the United States to save it.

Suddenly, McCarthy seemed to remember something, and turned on the TV series at this time. It happened to be the time of the news report, and the news came intermittently. The US satellite launch failed again today.

The emergency launch is the response method of the United States after the first artificial satellite of the Soviet Union was put into space. I wish that the Americans now want to insert an artificial satellite into every rocket. If it succeeds, it will equalize the relationship with the Soviet Union. distance?

"What should I do?" McCarthy muttered, as if making up his mind.

On December [-], exactly two months after the launch of the Soviet Union's first Sputnik, the U.S. Senate convened to discuss additional spending on aerospace.

In the Senate, young Senator John F. Kennedy, a young senator from Massachusetts, lashed out at the Republican administration, accusing it of national security failures and holding a report of a scientist overboard, " What makes our scientists despair of the United States, I think it is that the entire United States has lost the fighting spirit of the founding of the United States of America."

Immediately, the Republicans and Democrats entered into a heated quarrel, blaming each other.

"In fact, Senator Kennedy's words are all right. We must bravely face the technological competition from the Soviet Union. Arguments cannot solve the problem." McCarthy, as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee of the Republican Party, said at this time, "We must pay for it. Instead of making a scene in the hallowed Congress."

"I believe it!" McCarthy took out the documents he had prepared, and scanned the senators from both parties present, "The United States is still a country that is ahead of its opponents in terms of technological strength. What it lacks now is crisis. In the face of difficulties, The fighting spirit that has existed in the United States since its founding is the key to our victory in the face of technological competition."

As a politician, McCarthy finally let others know on this occasion that he is not only anti-Soviet, but also anti-Soviet from a higher level, "I have discussed with many respected congressmen, the president and the Secretary of State two days ago A proposal. The Opposition now needs to be consulted in Parliament."

John Kennedy also stopped bashing, listening to what this anti-Soviet sign had to say, McCarthy then explained himself, but no one knew it was a plan from British influence.

"Coping with the technological competition of the Soviet Union requires the support of the country, and it also requires the creativity of our entrepreneurs."

This time, in Congress, McCarthy proposed to establish an administrative agency responsible for formulating and implementing the US space program, and conducting research on aviation science and space science, and to attract the public and private companies to jointly launch the space program.

Immediately, the Senate entered the discussion, and until a few hours later, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act and approved McCarthy's proposal to establish the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, abbreviated as NASA.

On the same day, the launch of the satellite at the Wumera launch site did not enter the scheduled orbit. Alan Wilson was comforting the frustrated researchers, "It's just that it didn't enter the scheduled orbit. We always gain something."

Later, Alan Wilson, who felt that it was partially successful, learned of the news of the establishment of NASA in the United States.And it was McCarthy's efforts to promote it, "Americans today should think that Joseph is a hero, right?"

Alan Wilson was happy that his friend's proposal was approved. He was worthy of McCarthy, there was no doubt about it.

From this day on, when it comes to NASA, McCarthy's name will definitely not get around.

Chapter 922 Vibrant Spaceflight

From a human point of view, once Alan Wilson approves of a person, no matter what the person's reputation is, he will do his best to help, provided that he doesn't treat himself like this. The Dragoon sisters have provoked him once.

But after comprehensive consideration, especially considering the Hellman family he was brought up in, he was still not ready to see women in the same way, but he had already decided in his heart that there would be no next time.

Originally, the establishment of NASA in history was a matter of Eisenhower's tenure, but it was facilitated by the Democratic Party as the opposition party. Kennedy's space race can be said to be a big plus.

The performance in the space race is one of the major positive factors for Kennedy's success in the Long Aotian route from the congressman to the senator like a rocket, and finally ran for president.

And Alan Wilson didn't want to give this credit to Kennedy. He believed a long time ago that Kennedy was not just a threat to the United States, but also to the Soviet Union, China, and the United Kingdom.

Kennedy, whose life is too smooth, likes to do some unacceptable things.

He helped McCarthy this time, and he dare not say that he can successfully snipe Kennedy's path to the presidency, because whether it is Nixon or McCarthy, it is indeed not as easy as this handsome guy to win votes, but even so, it cannot make Kennedy ascend to the presidency too easily. .

What's more, if it succeeds, maybe the Americans will take a bite and feel that McCarthy's image is glorious and stalwart?

Turing is also a person recognized by Alan Wilson. After the satellite launch failed this time, he still showed that he had gained something, so that British researchers including Turing should not feel pressured.

"The country has invested so much money and personnel, it will definitely not be an easy thing to do, right?" Alan Wilson, who was walking on the launch site, said to Turing who was standing beside him, "If it is so easy to make history, it will not be easy. There will be such a big movement in the world."

"You are right." Turing knew that his friend had good intentions, and said, "Although the rocket did not deliver the satellite to the intended location, it at least proved that our rocket is reliable."

"That's what I mean too." Seeing Turing getting rid of his decadent state, Alan Wilson was relieved.

Only he himself knows in this world that every experiment in the UK is making history.

It is already much better than the original England in history, which is enough to be gratifying.

In the evening, the heads of various departments at the Wumera launch site confirmed the launch plan half a month later. The emergency launch is not a good way, but now there is no choice. Not only the United States is constantly launching missions, but the United Kingdom is also doing the same.

In just two months since the launch of the Soviet satellite, the United Kingdom and the United States have alternately tested intercontinental missiles and launched satellites.And suffered a string of failures, at least not as many as the United States.

The Atlas intercontinental missile of the United States has failed twice in a row after one success, and the blue light missile has initially achieved reliability, but when it comes to launching satellites, both Britain and the United States are groping through constant failures.

Now it is difficult to judge who successfully launched the second artificial satellite, anyone is possible.Of course, Alan Wilson hopes to teach Americans a lesson as a father.But I was afraid that Nizi would not talk about martial arts, so I was very entangled...

Soon, Alan Wilson was back in Perth, heading to the launch site while waiting for the next launch.

"Are there any commissioners in other colonies running around like you?" Pamela Mountbatten's postpartum recovery has come to an end, and when she saw her husband come back after being in a good mood, she couldn't help but start teasing.

"Other colonial commissioners mainly do not manage overseas assets." Alan Wilson also does not deny that he does not stay in Kuala Lumpur for almost half of the year now. "Malayan colonies have a mature system to rely on, which also solves my problems Big trouble."

"Speaking of this issue, there are three regional commissioners in Colonial Malaya who are leaving their posts. The Sarawak Development Bank is planning to hire them as directors." Pamela Mountbatten suddenly remembered this when she heard her husband's words. After this incident, they immediately took out the files of the three people, expressing that they would activate the revolving door.

"It's up to you to decide." Allen Wilson just glanced at the name, nodded and said, "I don't care about your property."

"It's the property of the Wilson family." Pamela Mountbatten said in a womanly tone, "You like to be an official, otherwise, you must be much more famous than me now."

"Marrying a good wife is more important than anything else." Alan Wilson came over to give his wife a victory kiss, put one hand on Pamela Mountbatten's belly, and said softly with a smile, "You're recovering well, dear. "

Necessary encouragement can help couples feel harmonious, even if they are already considered old couples.

In addition to being able to run around like Alan Wilson in the UK this year, it should be in the Admiralty.

This year, the British Admiralty successfully signed contracts for the sale of three aircraft carriers. The three aircraft carriers are all Giant-class, and they were sold to Brazil, Argentina and India respectively.In addition to the two Vengeance-class aircraft carriers sold to France and the Glorious-class aircraft carrier to Australia, the British aircraft carrier inventory is finally no longer bloated.

The battleships accumulated during the World Wars, after such a long period of sale, have completed a certain sense of slimming.

This is of course a good thing for the UK. The maintenance cost alone is a huge expense, and the storage will not reduce the cost much, and it will take up space.Therefore, the sealed aircraft carrier cannot escape the fate of dismantling in the end.

In fact, in terms of the British style, there is no obstacle to the sale of heavy warships, as long as it can be exchanged for money to balance finances.

The state of the Admiralty is also a microcosm of the entire United Kingdom, and the downward trend is much better than the original history.

Of course, it is no surprise that only Alan Wilson himself knows about this matter in this world. Sometimes he feels that he is an unknown worker. No one knows your achievements, and your name will last forever. This sentence The words of the Soviet Union are more suitable to describe him.

"After all, one person carried everything." Facing the torrent of history, Allen Wilson could only make fine-tuning as much as possible, hoping that the consequences of the embankment of a thousand miles being destroyed by an ant's nest would appear.

"Why are my legs so heavy?" Princess Margaret, who was in the turbulent sea, suddenly heard her brother-in-law say such a sentence, opened her half-closed eyes, and looked at the man carrying the gun and carrying the weight.

The nights in Perth are always so unexpected. You must not make Her Royal Highness feel left out, and you must be careful to guard against MI[-] bastards. Most importantly, you must not make your wife feel that something is wrong.

The most unexpected thing was that the next day, Alan Wilson heard that Nehru had established in India, the Indian National Space Research Committee, and Dr. Vikram was the chairman of the committee.

"I suddenly feel that the space race is not something with high technological content now." Holding the Times of India newspaper, Alan Wilson felt that the steak served by his wife was no longer tasty.

"What?" Pamela Mountbatten thought her husband didn't like her craft, and her tone was a little lost. She realized when she saw the newspaper in her husband's hand, "The space race is now so important all over the world, isn't Nehru If you want to build a big country with sound and color, it is normal to set up such a department.”

"Is it normal?" Alan Wilson seemed to be in a state of memory. He remembered that India's aerospace industry started in the 60s, and now it is a few years earlier. "Don't think about it, India's aerospace talents were trained in London."

It is not necessary to think about it, but it is an obvious fact that the person in charge, Vikram Sarabhai, studied in the UK. After obtaining a bachelor's degree at St. John's College, Cambridge University, he studied under Chandraser, a Nobel Prize winner in physics. Professor Kara Raman published a thesis "Cosmic Ray Studies in Tropical Latitudes" and obtained a Ph.D. in Physics, returning to India after India's independence,

"You still want to establish a university in Malaya." Pamela Mountbatten joked, "Isn't this also training future competitors? I remember you said that Europe is actually not ahead of other civilizations."

"The exact meaning of my words is that Europe is not ahead of other civilizations, and other civilizations are not ahead of Europe." Alan Wilson corrected his wife's words. The things that have happened in other civilizations for many years can basically be determined to be intentional to stimulate national pride.

"I established a university in Malaya, and I also have a way to resolve the threat of high-pressure education to local universities."

Alan Wilson cut a steak and fed it to his wife, explaining, "I just need knowledge that education is useless for."

Even if it is rolled up, using high-pressure education, it is easy to get out of rhythm.

It must be admitted that most of the knowledge that a person has learned in his life is basically useless in life.
