British civil servant

At present, Lyndon Johnson is still afraid to send troops directly to South Vietnam to fight. This is not because he is afraid of North Vietnam, but because the US election has not yet been decided.Once Lyndon Johnson officially confirms his re-election, I believe that the American soldiers will set off in a stately manner.The United States still has at least a few months to prepare.

If there is no accident, the United States will test the United Kingdom again and persuade the United Kingdom to send troops, but the United Kingdom will definitely not agree, and the United Kingdom will also cooperate with Australia to adopt a quarantine policy against Indonesia.

If it hopes to get some other assistance, the United Kingdom can open Singapore to do some logistical work.The U.S. Navy can dock temporarily, but setting up military bases is not.

These suggestions were also approved by Eden and the two cabinet ministers. After all, the position of the Conservative Party is not stable. Once it adopts an ambiguous attitude towards this war, the Labor Party will not just watch it from the sidelines.

In the original history, the leader of the Labor Party should have completed the transformation from the opposition party to the ruling party.Because Alan Wilson is here, the other Wilson has not yet taken the position of prime minister. Thinking about it, the secretary general of the cabinet feels ashamed.

Before the American soldiers officially arrived in South Vietnam, there was still no major change in South Vietnam. The generals in South Vietnam continued to strife and persecute Buddhists; politicians still had no real power; believers insisted on demonstrating and protesting on the streets. The vassals and towns themselves may fight first.

On the British side, a model project of European solidarity is being carried out with France. The relationship between Britain and France is like this. They are stumbling each other, but due to the constraints of the general environment, cooperation is still necessary.

This project was proposed to France through Diamond Ambassador George Blake.It can be described as George Blake's biggest achievement so far in the position of ambassador to France.

The main purpose of the project is to imitate the United States and establish Europe's own global positioning system. For the British and French countries that have not declined to the end, the role of the global positioning system is still very important.

France's traditional sphere of influence in Africa and Britain's focus on Asia both require such a system, and the two countries will have a basis for cooperation.

The global positioning system currently operating in space is not the famous gps of later generations, but the meridian satellite positioning system of the United States.

The Meridian satellite positioning system, namely the "Meridian" satellite, is the space part of the satellite navigation system of the Doppler frequency measurement system developed by the U.S. Navy, also known as the Navy satellite navigation system. It is the first satellite navigation system in the world. Signals provide non-continuous two-dimensional navigation and positioning services for various types of submarines and surface ships in the United States, and are used for offshore oil exploration and marine survey positioning, land user positioning and geodetic surveying.

The current system serves the U.S. Navy, and it is applied to the United Kingdom. Mountbatten can't watch his beloved navy have nothing. If he borrows the U.S. system, hidden dangers may also arise.This matter was naturally handed over to the cabinet secretary of Whitehall for evaluation, and in order to propose cooperation to France.

In terms of independence, Alan Wilson believed in France more than he believed in Britain. After half a year of negotiations, including a series of disputes and naming rights, Britain and France each took a step back. Alan Wilson suggested that the Italian astronomer Galileo Galileo to name the system, and the French agreed.

In July, at the height of the U.S. election and concerns about the situation in South Vietnam, British Foreign Secretary Rabe Butler signed the cooperation agreement in Paris on behalf of the United Kingdom.Britain and France have carried out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation on the global positioning system to fight for space sovereignty for Europe.

The name Galileo system has the same name as the ill-fated system of the European Union in later generations, but it also has advantages. Not counting the Soviet Union, the only European countries with satellite launch capabilities are Britain and France.In fact, this system relies on Britain and France to launch.

The European Community at this time is not like the European Union in later generations. Doing anything requires dozens of countries to quarrel first.Two countries have the final say, and it is more efficient than 27 countries to negotiate.

Britain joined the space club a few years earlier than France, so it naturally has a few years more reserves, holding some orbits in good positions. The value of such orbits is part of the reason why Britain and France have been arguing over the past few months.

Britain hopes that France will recognize the value of these orbits, and to put it bluntly, it will benefit Britain.The French are obviously not willing to Huiying.

But as the meridian satellite positioning system has been gradually completed, the French finally made a concession to show the unity of Britain and France, buying the orbit occupied by the United Kingdom during the brief period of the second space power.

"My friend, there is no other person who is more suitable to lead the European space affairs except you, the president of the Royal Interstellar Society." Alan Wilson hadn't seen Turing for a long time. "We hope that this system can achieve two points, civilian and free, mainly to benefit the society. Bring the achievements of scientific and technological progress to thousands of households, rather than being limited to the military field."

As a senior prostitute, Alan Wilson has a soft spot for gimmicks such as free, and he can be sure that most people are like this.And only free can promote faster.

"I will definitely do my best." Turing had nothing to say, and he agreed with this idea. "Seeing technology entering thousands of households will make my work more motivated."

The first thousand and 270 second chapters are surprised

The meridian satellite positioning system has just been deployed. If the Galileo system wants to catch up, it must be opened to civilian use as soon as possible to seize the market. As for profit, it will be considered in the future.Otherwise, like the European Union's system of the same name, it will be overtaken sooner or later.

Alan Wilson didn't insist on doing anything to a certain big country. In fact, because the UK briefly occupied the second space power, the UK really seized a lot of good orbits.These orbits were originally supposed to belong to the United States and the Soviet Union.

The United States in the 21st century reserves more than one space orbit as a spare, and there is no need to compete for the orbit like China and Europe.

If the UK can occupy the European market in the satellite positioning system, this will be another good employment industry for the UK, which should have been owned by France.Now the French must work harder to find sustainable industries for France.

It is known that France should have the greatest voice in the aerospace industry in Europe, but now it is not allowed to give at least half to the UK.This loss must be done by Africans who suffer.

The Galileo positioning system is essentially what Britain and France say. France needs to be positioned in Africa, and the UK has a broader positioning. After all, Asia is farther away.The demand exists objectively, and the United Kingdom still maintains a large ocean-going fleet because of the relationship with the Malayan colony. It must be known that the original intention of the development of the positioning system is to provide navigation for the navy.

Turing, who is not a womanizer, is obviously more interested in scientific research. After talking about this question, he asked Alan Wilson what he was up to in Whitehall recently.

"Let's run for peace." Allen Wilson's face was full of pain, and he looked like he was exhausted for peace. Waiting is always difficult. Can't the United States move faster?

"Are you worried that the support of North Vietnam's allies may expand the war?" Turing was also deceived by a false face and expressed the same concern.

"That's not going to happen!" Alan Wilson forced a laugh. The United States played a good exchange ratio from beginning to end, but it did not prevent the United States from being in a defeated position.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The international status of the United States is in a position where no one is surprised if it wins, and its allies are shocked when it loses.It's normal for you to win, but it's okay to be a big brother if you lose?

As for North Vietnam and a certain big country behind them, the level of tolerance is much higher than that of the United States. Anyway, the worst is not much worse. They didn't fight coarse grain pickles, and if they fought, they would still be coarse grain pickles.

Then what are you afraid of, just fight!This is not the case in the United States. The excess currency and increased expenditure in the United States must be borne by American citizens.

Without enough material support, the consequences of excessive currency issuance are obvious. The United States invested 500 billion in military expenditures in the Vietnam War, and the cumulative related expenditures are said to exceed 6000 billion. It is no wonder that the economy is not in trouble.

This can be regarded as the strong national power of the United States in this era. The United States, a financial country in the 21st century, is actually even more fragile, and it will kill Europe to make up for the deficit.

As long as the bottom line is low enough, those who have no money and supplies will be more able to resist. The Slavic civil war will be fought decades later, and the countries involved will have a basis for resistance. The question is whether the EU can resist or not.

Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated and became Russia, it still occupied half of Europe, the half with resources, and the half belonging to other countries, and the distribution of resources was at the level of India.If the EU's economy can't handle it, it really has a bright future like Russia.

At a time when the United States is about to demonstrate its abundance of martial arts, Allen Wilson must carefully adjust Britain's response. At this point in time, he also has to deal with the matter of Yemen's independence, continue to throw out worthless colonies, and let it live on its own. Self-destruction, to keep the sphere of influence related to national security and economic interests.

If Yemen wasn't enough, Nyerere now says he wants independence, and he says yes right away, leaving Kenya to watch.

Saigon port, at four o'clock in the morning, there was a loud noise, and two magnetic mines detonated at the same time. Suddenly, the U.S. military's aircraft carrier damage control program did not have time to start. Within 10 minutes, the aircraft carrier tilted violently to the right and sank to a depth of 16 meters. 25 US troops were killed on the spot, 39 were slightly injured, and [-] carrier-based aircraft sank to the bottom of the sea together.

The news spread like a storm all over the world, and the British public opinion once again started shouting in amazement from its allies, marveling at the disappearance of the North Vietnamese frogmen, and shouting to the United States to stop, the Viet Cong are all outside.

In this general election, McCarthy, who has sprung up suddenly and penetrated into the southern base of the Democratic Party, has just defeated the party candidate and won the nomination of the Republican Party candidate.At this time, McCarthy was full of ambition. He even received congratulations from London on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Since the general election heated up, the two have maintained a dialogue. McCarthy has also heard Alan Wilson’s complaints and is negotiating independence with local representatives in Yemen.

McCarthy comforted his friend and shared his joy in the telegram. Now there is only one obstacle left in front of him, which is the successor President Lyndon Johnson who seems to be expected by everyone.

Although one's efforts must rely on self-struggle, one must also consider the course of history. McCarthy's move to go deep into the southern base made the gloomy Republican Party seem to have more theoretical hope of victory.

However, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that McCarthy might be destined to miss the presidency, because McCarthy also firmly supported the toughness against North Vietnam at the same time.

This trick is useful now, but because of Kennedy's assassination, the Democratic Party has received widespread sympathy from American voters. Unless McCarthy kills Lyndon Johnson this time, or wait until four years later, the United States has experienced four years of war and casualties However, McCarthy's toughness at this time may be a burden at that time.

The Republican Party may choose a candidate who has no sense of presence in this general election. As the next candidate, it will not choose a few candidates with a particularly strong sense of presence.

In the recent period, McCarthy has established a strong personality in the southern states, which has indeed won the support of the local Dixie people. Maybe it will really allow the Republican Party to conquer the southern base that has not been won for decades.But there is still little hope of shaking the Democratic Party's advantage on a national scale.

When McCarthy learned of the attack on the USS Card aircraft carrier, he once again expressed at the rally that he would retaliate immediately, and his speech that the current government was too weak aroused a lot of approval.

McCarthy's move put a lot of pressure on Lyndon Johnson. Originally, he wanted to adopt a conservative attitude and only went to war after the general election, but McCarthy said that as the incumbent president, Lyndon Johnson also had to respond. At the same time, he said that the United States will take time to prepare for a tough counterattack, and he will never let go of countries that hurt American soldiers.

The military represented by the Pentagon is naturally the toughest group of people. The chiefs of staff and their staff have mentioned the possibility of nuclear war on various occasions and expressed that they can accept the risk of nuclear war.

Lyndon Johnson heard this voice and asked angrily, "Is this the Pentagon's view, even if it is a nuclear war?"

Maxwell Taylor replied: "I doubt whether Hanoi has the strength to fight back."

"Didn't MacArthur say the same thing before the Chinese poured into North Korea?" Lyndon Johnson said angrily, "MacArthur was more confident than you back then. In any case, you have to wait until after the general election to consider sending ground troops. To reinforce South Vietnam, there is now only one option of large-scale bombing."

Whether it is to expand the war or retreat, it is not an easy decision. He is the president, not as optimistic as the Pentagon.When did the soldiers lose their optimism?

"The news of the independence of French Guiana has finally made the Dutch make up their minds." Alan Wilson held the document transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Whitehall NO.70 Cabinet Office, and sighed inexplicably, which made Dixon They are all very puzzled, the independence of the colonies is no longer news.Even Britain has had several rounds of talks with local forces in Yemen recently.

Why is there no authority, especially concerned about Guyana?How did Dixon know? Allen Wilson just lamented that the colonies that had plundered the European imperialist powers had also become independent.

French Guiana is the launch site of the European Space Agency. Although the French are very dissatisfied with Guyana's behavior of pulling wool, they have never been able to make up their minds.

Paris has been debating whether to move the launch site to Guyana, or to keep the facility in Algeria, and now with the launch of the Galileo program, it seems that the discussion has come to an end.

The result is naturally to keep the launch site in Algeria, then French Guia is no longer important, and Paris naturally finds a way to make Guyana independent.France's behavior naturally made the Netherlands unable to sit still. Britain and France withdrew from the local area one after another, and the Dutch were unwilling to continue to maintain their local rule, and tried to get rid of psoriasis as soon as possible.

For the Netherlands, the existence of Guyana is not of much benefit. The attention of the Dutch is still on Kalimantan Island in Southeast Asia and half of New Guinea Island.

These two islands made the Netherlands hesitate. Should they give up or keep them?The maintenance cost is indeed high, but it is not without benefits.

"If nothing else happens, both French and Dutch Guiana will become independent this year." Dixon didn't think much about it. "The British territory in Latin America is running out, and the largest is the Falklands."

"The Falkland Islands can talk to Argentina calmly. Some promises are actually not difficult." Alan Wilson said with a relaxed smile, "We can even promise that we will not use military means to solve the problem. It is to use military means to solve the problem. Talk, you can talk, there is nothing you can't talk about."

The first thousand and 270 chapters and three Tokyo Olympics

"For things in the Americas, we still have to follow the advice of the Americans and mainly adopt a soft attitude to do things. When necessary, we can release some positive signals."

What is the value of the Falklands actually?It can't be said that there is no one at all, but it is indeed of little value.

Although later generations say that there are certain natural resource reserves, they don't even know if they have mining value.Just like Russian natural gas helps the European industry, American natural gas can only increase the cost of European industry. What if it is uneconomical to extract it?

The Falklands War was nothing more than a product of the diversion of conflicts between two leaders who were pressured by public opinion in the country. Don’t look at Mrs. Thatcher being re-elected several times, but when privatization was carried out, the wave of protests she faced was no worse than that in the United States in the 70s Small, there are countless Britons celebrating until news of the death arrives.

From this point of view, the Falkland Islands should be kept for now, and the method of shelving disputes should be adopted to let it hang out. Maybe it will be useful in the future.

The means of operation are not difficult for the UK. First of all, it is necessary to shape the ideological stamp that the UK will not use force because of the Falklands and Argentina. After the vast majority of Argentines know this.Argentine patriots need to hold the national flag to express their patriotism. Alan Wilson will naturally guide the British local public opinion to continue to let it go.

Speaking of it, there are still many steps, but it is not difficult. If there is no Argentine patriot, he can hire a passionate young man out of his own pocket.As for controlling local public opinion at the beginning, it is also very simple.

While the two were discussing the cold treatment of the Falklands issue, Frank, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, pushed the door away, "Sir, are you calling me?"

"Oh, Frank, we are all colleagues, don't call them so strange." Alan Wilson pointed to another chair with a smile, and asked when the other party sat down, "About Turing, the president of the Royal Interstellar Society and the chairman of the Semiconductor Society?" Sir, the issue of the required financial subsidies. The Ministry of Finance needs to show an attitude and advance with a professional spirit. Is there any problem?"

"In fact, the Ministry of Finance has never appreciated such things as subsidies. Of course, the Secretary-General is concerned about this issue, and we will implement it." Frank stepped back tactically, "Let me convince my colleagues."

"The basic rule of the Ministry of Finance is to be honest if you are weak, and to be smart if you want to play tricks." Alan Wilson said with a slight smile, "Is that so?"

"It's like treating workers. They must not be allowed to do whatever they want, otherwise it will not be a good thing for the country." Frank changed the subject when he said this, "But since Her Royal Highness's husband is benefiting the society, we believe that the semiconductor's financial Subsidies and Galileo grants? No problem."

"The attitude of the Ministry of Finance is reassuring." Alan Wilson scratched his scalp and seemed to let go of the boulder in his heart. "This year's international situation is unstable. We must be careful. To protect our interests overseas, make The right decision, no question, it's tough."

"Japan's industrial competition? By the way, the Tokyo Olympics will start next month, and the Secretary-General's wife should be quite busy now." Frank said that this meant something, and it was another good opportunity for Newfoundland to make a fortune. Behind the carnival of Newfoundland residents, there are also other beneficiaries, "By the way, where has Madam been in the past few days? I didn't hear the Secretary-General mentioning it"

"Going to Lisbon, as for Japan? Huh!" Allen Wilson said disapprovingly, "Except for tens of millions of so-called demographic dividends, Japan has nothing to pay attention to. They think they can stand up through economic rise? Then let We'll wait and see. But President Park Chung-hee of South Korea should be a ruthless character."

In Alan Wilson's previous life, the growth process was the process of Japan's continuous decline.In fact, as long as the United States is a little stricter, Japan will not be able to reach the status of its previous life.

Geographically speaking, Japan in the Cold War lost its original market and source of raw materials, that is, a certain big country.The southward strategy that Japan later adopted was the so-called wild goose strategy.

Just look at how far the mainland of Japan is from Southeast Asia to know whether this strategy is reliable.In the Far East, China, the Soviet Union and North Korea are all hostile camps, and South Korea, which is next to Japan, has worse basic conditions than Japan.

If Japan's goose-type strategy hits the center of Malaya and blossoms, Malaya will have advantages in most areas except for its population disadvantage.Originally there was no Malaya in history, but now there is...

This colony is tailor-made for Japan and South Korea, and it is also a kind of Asia-Pacific rebalancing in a sense.

With his supreme authority, the climbing of Japan and South Korea will be full of thorns, but Alan Wilson still thinks this is a good thing, isn't there a saying?No pain No gain.

As long as Park Chung-hee dares to send troops and exchange Korean blood for support, the United States will definitely benefit South Korea.

The so-called overseas has a Japanese saying, just listen to it. The person who said this may not know that the overseas investment of a certain big country is estimated to be [-] trillion to [-] trillion US dollars, and it is not just Japan.

The tricks of freezing foreign exchange and confiscating assets that were originally used on Russia were not prepared for Russia at all. What problems Russia's hundreds of billions of property can solve are not enough for the United States to fill in the holes.

Who would count overseas investment on themselves? The UK has been the largest capital exporter for decades since World War II. If this is the case, isn’t the UK so powerful that it cannot be estimated?

But as a matter of fact, British public opinion has completely followed that of the United States recently. Although there is a reason for this, the female president plugged the pound, what people see is that British public opinion dances with the United States, and the voice of war in the United States is loud To put it bluntly, the British media thinks that the United States is invincible, and the United States says to be calm, so the British media is full of Viet Cong.

At least in terms of public opinion, the United Kingdom has now bowed to the United States, but it has not forgotten to quickly develop the semiconductor and Galileo projects. Both projects are in cooperation with the French.

Taking advantage of Indonesia's discoloration and the opportunity to build an aircraft carrier for Australia, launching a new type of aircraft carrier is also to enhance its own united front value.Don't let the United States take advantage of the Vietnam War, and then set its mind on the United Kingdom. It is not that there are no bullies, such as Latin America and Japan.

After the two senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance left, Makins, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense, also came. The life of the cabinet secretary is so simple and boring.

Makins came this time to explain that the first steel plate was cut for the new aircraft carrier customized for the Australian Navy. Aircraft are more worthy of relying on, or anti-ship missiles."

"Huh?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth. This is really a difficult question. After thinking about it, "For Britain, the aircraft carrier battle group should be more important."

The ideas of the United States and the Soviet Union for confrontation at sea are also completely different. The Soviet Union's army building idea is the idea of ​​arsenal ships, and the United States is the traditional idea of ​​aircraft carrier battle groups.When the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, it cannot be argued that the Soviet Union's arsenal ship was wrong just because the Soviet Union was a loser in the Cold War.

This is the old warships in Russia to deny the cutting-edge warships of the Soviet Red Navy at that time.

After the development of several generations of anti-ship missiles, the Soviet Union has increased the range of anti-ship missiles to 550 to 750 kilometers.

What is the combat radius of the American Super Hornet fighter?Seven hundred kilometers!The combat radius of carrier-based aircraft is far worse than that of land-based fighters.In the face of the Soviet Red Navy in the 70s, the U.S. Navy couldn't do it because you couldn't hit me, and I could hit you. That's why Aegis developed.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the arsenal fleet seems to have suffered a complete defeat, and the advanced productivity aircraft carrier battle group represented by the United States seems to have dominated the world.

However, several countries have tested hypersonic missiles one after another. In particular, a certain major country has put anti-ship ballistic missiles on warships called destroyers but defined by NATO as cruisers, and suddenly increased the range of anti-ship missiles to more than 35 kilometers, proving that This kind of debate is not over yet. The carrier-based version of the F[-] has a combat radius of just over [-] kilometers.

So Maggins asked such a question, how would Alan Wilson answer?How does he know which of the two factions is more reasonable? It is much easier to increase the range of the missile, and the missile does not need to consider the return journey.

The difficulty of anti-ship missiles is that they do not know where the enemy is. After all, it is more than [-] kilometers, and it is more difficult to find enemy warships than to increase the range.

"For the United Kingdom, the aircraft carrier battle group is important." Alan Wilson waited until Maggins left, recalling what he just said. There is nothing wrong with it. How much would it cost to replace all the platforms that were built with great difficulty?Don't say that the UK can't afford it, and neither can the US.

Pamela Mountbatten went to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, to attend the completion ceremony of the Land Rover production line. Together with Salazar, she delivered a speech on New Portugal, praising the alliance between Britain and Portugal that had been established during the Spanish Armada.

Portugal expressed great enthusiasm for the completion of the Land Rover car production line. The poorest country in Western Europe finally waited for the conscience of its British allies to discover.

The Land Rover production line settled in Portugal, which shows that the British ability to deal with the weak is still there. The Portuguese are rejoicing, but this is not a big event internationally. In October, the Tokyo Olympics will open. This is also a Newfoundland resident. Days of eager anticipation.

On the same day, Emperor Showa came to the opening ceremony to announce the opening of the No.18 Olympic Games.The National Stadium, which can accommodate [-] spectators, was packed, and the Self-Defense Forces flew jets to paint the Olympic rings in the sky.

When "Atomic Bomb Boy" Yoshino Sakai trotted into the venue with the Olympic torch in hand, the audience stood up and paid their respects silently. This 19-year-old Japanese college student was born in the suburbs of Hiroshima on the day the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.It was the first time that an Asian country hosted the Olympic Games. It was not only a grand event in Asia, but also a grand event in Japan.

"Maybe the Japanese are very proud?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was watching TV with her husband at home, teasingly said to her husband, "Can you use Malaya to contain Japan?"

"Then who knows, just like I don't know if Japan will eat nuclear bombs again in the future." Alan Wilson grinned, "We'll see!"

The first thousand 270 chapters and four plots
