British civil servant

"Son, think about it carefully. If you have another half in your life, shouldn't you have some foundation to resist risks? Either have money or power, and it is best to have both." Alan Wilson instilled Said, "Take the little girl you played with happily as an example, you should at least have my strength, right? Right?"

Regarding the fact that he is very optimistic about the number one beauty in Hong Kong, Allen Wilson can only comfort himself, at least it is a gender that men like women, a normal boy should think, if he is like Musk's son, then he has the heart to die However, if you are optimistic about it, the challenges are still great.

You guys don't want to expect a future where Aiden controls Nasser, do you?

Since you don’t want to, then you must have overwhelming strength to maintain it. At least you must become a rich family, and you can’t be a rich family in Xiangjiang in the general sense. How big is that, one hundred square meters.

The real giants in Xiangjiang are either related to London or the emperor. If they have nothing to do with the two, this giant will also have fun.

The prosperity of Xiangjiang is a specific product of a special historical period. The locality is incomparable with Singapore, which guards the Strait of Malacca. It is not good, and the population does not meet the minimum standards for industrial upgrading.

And everything is harmonious, if one day a certain big country appears on the hostile list of the free world again, as if it just disappeared from the hostile list now, Xiangjiang will not even be able to maintain its current prosperity.

Can Xiangjiang maintain its status as an international financial center?If it cannot be done, Anglo-American capital will naturally transfer the location of the international financial center to Singapore.Can a certain big country help Xiangjiang seize its position as an international financial center?The capital market still has the final say.

The free world says that Hong Kong is the financial center of Asia, but it is not, and it is not what any country says it is.

A day later, Alan Wilson went to work in Whitehall, and at the same time asked about the latest situation of the India-Pakistan war. Wick also conveyed the attitude of the United States, "Dr. Harmful, ready to put pressure on India from the diplomatic level, and said that it would not rule out a repeat of [-]?"

"Ah?" Alan Wilson chuckled, "This can only prove that the chairman of the US-India Association will still explain the problem from the perspective of his own country at critical moments."

Kissinger is the chairman of the US-India Association. This may be a position that most people don’t know, but Kissinger’s attitude in the third India-Pakistan war was to firmly support Pakistan, and he also expressed that he would join forces with a certain major country to send troops to intervene. Of course, this threat was ignored by India, which was already allied with the Soviet Union.

"The point is, does Washington believe that the Soviet Union planned this war, at least providing India with a combat plan?" Alan Wilson is still more concerned about this issue. India's airborne operation on the outskirts of Dhaka is too similar to this world The parachute into Czechoslovakia, which never happened, became a military parachute into Warsaw.

"Dr. Kissinger said that this possibility cannot be ruled out. He will continue to pay attention to the situation in India and Pakistan." Wick immediately replied without thinking.

Alan Wilson nodded. It seems that the United States is also at a loss. In the fog of war, it will still be undecided for a while. This is also normal, as long as a country has limited energy.

As arrogant as Bush Jr., the United States claimed to have won two wars at the same time, referring to opponents like Afghanistan and Iraq. It can't be China and Russia, right?

But what is certain is that East Pakistan has no depth and is surrounded by India on three sides. If we use the standards of Germany in World War II, once India expands the iron wall, the situation of the Pakistani defenders is really difficult. East Pakistan The area is only a quarter of France, and there is no basis for resisting the wave of India.

"The last time Indira Gandhi visited the United States, I heard that the conversation was very stiff. Kissinger said that it was the most embarrassing conversation with foreign leaders during Nixon's tenure. It is certain that the attitude of the United States will not change. We can Make sure of this." After listening to the international situation, Alan Wilson picked up the phone and said, "Pick up the Ministry of Defense, is Marshal Charles there, and ask the Ministry of Defense's attitude towards the situation in India and Pakistan. I believe the Prime Minister is also very concerned."

Alan Wilson even wanted to ask at this time, Alekseev, who seems to be the most talented boy, whether India's offensive plan was formulated by the Soviet Union, especially the part of airborne operations, but it still counts Yes, he is busy now.

At this time, the news that the India-Pakistan war started again has already made the headlines of major British newspapers. Since India's independence, it has a strong presence in British public opinion.

This has not changed because of independence. The United Kingdom is no longer the suzerain of India, but it still has power over and over again, not to mention the outbreak of war as an international hotspot.

Under such circumstances, Alan Wilson arrived at the Ministry of Defense and asked Marshal Charles what the intervention plan had before, and what it could be adopted at an appropriate time.

There are still a lot of content, such as an iron wall encirclement in another sense, mobilizing four heavy aircraft carriers from the Mediterranean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet, posing vague threats from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and of course the activation of the Andaman Islands The military base acts as a fulcrum.

"Huh? It's too early?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth after hearing this. If he did this, wouldn't Britain steal the show?He has only just asked the foreign ministry to show non-interference.

At this time, he is still planning to leave the main stage to the Soviet Union and the United States. It is well known that the United States is a supporter of Pakistan, and Washington has already expressed its position.As for India, the Soviet Union and India have just signed a friendship treaty, and the end of the United States and the Soviet Union can be met. In this situation, Britain should not steal the show, even if there is a basis for it.

"There is also a strategic air force operation, preparing to airborne Sikkim. We still have some facilities in Sikkim, and we have a good relationship with Sikkim." Sir Charles took it out for the record. "The danger of airborne Sikkim by strategic air force is not great. Although Sikkim is small in size, the current situation is stable. And it is not far from the battlefield. Once the airborne operation is adopted, it will be effective soon. However, it may not be able to bypass India's airspace."

"This is a problem. Entering the airspace of Bhutan from the direction of Burma and airborne in Sikkim, you can't bypass the airspace of India. However, the northeastern part of India is not dangerous." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, "Actually, the scale of the airborne does not need to be airborne." No matter how big it is, even if only one transport plane is used, as long as it lands successfully, it shows that the British military force has successfully intervened, and it is considered a successful operation."

In all fairness, Alan Wilson is very interested in this filing or abolishing the case. He still has friendship with the current King of Sikkim.

In fact, there is another route. Britain still has a military base in Nepal, although the role of this military base is also the role of a recruitment office for Nepalese mercenaries.But if there is, the facilities still exist. It is much easier to sneak into Nepal and airborne in Sikkim.

"Not bad!" Marshal Charles also agreed. Of course, he was a little surprised because this was a waste case, but he didn't expect the cabinet secretary to be so interested.

"We didn't express our support for India." Alan Wilson said, "What happened to sending a strategic transport plane to Nepal? This is also to protect other countries in South Asia from being affected by the India-Pakistan war."

While the Ministry of Defense was discussing the action plan, Prime Minister Harold Wilson issued his first appeal for peace after the official outbreak of the India-Pakistan war, hoping that India and Pakistan would sit down and talk.

This is very normal. The UK is a responsible big country and should do this. Is it useful?The Great Sage Hun Tuo also often said that peace is the most important thing.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The call to sit down and talk is nothing more than the foundation of my country as a permanent member of the United Nations. This does not mean anything. On the contrary, the UK is looking for an opportunity to intervene.

In terms of public opinion, the reports on this India-Pakistan war can be regarded as a rare upsurge of public opinion in recent years. The direction of the war in the former colonies involves every move of British citizens.

"It's really difficult. I don't know what news will come out. Whether the Pakistani government forces smashed the Indian offensive, or the Indian army made a breakthrough, or is still in a stalemate."

Alan Wilson was rarely calm. He still felt that India would have the advantage, but he didn't know that Pakistan could last for a few days.The situation is obvious. Bangladesh is surrounded by Indian territory on three sides. The Pakistani defenders have only three divisions of 9 people, and the attacking Indian army has three armies of more than 20 people.

Bangladesh is small in size and has no depth. Pakistan's defenders are very isolated. This is not a special military operation by Lao Maozi. 20 people will swallow 60 square kilometers and Ukraine with 40 defenders.

In this war, India is the dominant side from any angle.

"Egypt wants to buy the production line of Emirates tanks!" Seeing the supreme authority sighing, Makins had to change the subject, talking about Egypt's hope of getting help from the UK in army construction. This is an order, and the same is true for Egypt. Technical support is also required.

"Oh? Let me think about it! In fact, it's not a big problem. But it's more difficult to convince the cabinet." Alan Wilson frowned slightly, indicating that this matter can be discussed.

If he remembers correctly, Egypt, as the number one military power in Arabia for a long time, is actually not completely superficial. The military industry is considered high in Arab countries, and there is an Abrams production line in the hands of the 21st century.

"In this way, first transfer the technology of catamaran missile boats to Egypt, stabilize Egypt first, and then we will figure out a solution for the rest. The problem with tanks is not a big problem. The ceramic composite armor is in our hands, so we don't have to worry about those homogeneous armors. Tanks will one day become our threat. Look at the Soviet Union’s support for Syria and Yemen, Egypt does not have an advantage in the number of tanks, and it is not impossible to want a production line.”

Whether it is Syria or Yemen, there are huge armored forces now. After the war, the Soviet Union is the most powerful army power in the world. The countries supported by the Soviet Union are also dominated by ground forces. It is scary to pick out any one. .

This can be regarded as the commonality of countries that have a good relationship with the Soviet Union. Could it be that the UK should build tanks for Egypt like the Soviet Union?It's a joke to think so. Can Britain compete with the Soviet Union and who can benefit?

In the case of not being able to compete with the Soviet Union in quantity, it is a feasible choice to establish a tank production line for Egyptian production licenses.Pick and choose, who will follow the UK in the future?

"You are the secretary-general of the cabinet. This is all your job. The shipbuilding plan has been laid out and will be sent to you in the afternoon." After taking a sip of black tea, Maggins enjoyed a pleasant working meal.

Alan Wilson nodded, and then the two left the restaurant. It has been several years since my British original 022 catamaran missile boat was equipped with the Egyptian Navy.

Because the British shipbuilding industry was under competition from Japan, the respected richest woman opened the prelude to saving the British shipbuilding industry. Pamela Mountbatten, who took over two shipyards, used the supreme authority that no one knows more about shipbuilding than me. , the design drawings given are the first step in the shipbuilding industry.

To be honest, when these ships were first given to Egypt, the richest woman was often ridiculed for it. Both the US and the British shipyards looked at the deal with gloating eyes.

The shipbuilding colleagues of the two countries agree that even in the admirable myth of wealth, they cannot succeed in any industry. The shipbuilding industry of the richest woman started amidst friendly remarks that only the navy of a poor country can be built.

Alan Wilson comforted his wife a lot at the time, saying that they didn't know what to buy, and this was a big killer for the coastal navy.

If it weren't for the fact that Britain has its own aircraft carrier in service, he would have wanted to talk about the concept of saturation attack and aircraft carrier killer.

That's how it was. Britain and the United States have big navies, so they naturally look down on missile boats, but the anti-air submarine fast type navy, and the missile boats approaching [-] knots, certainly can't just participate in the speedboat competition.

Fortunately, the Egyptian side did not dislike these missile boats. After all, what is there to dislike, can Egypt also dislike British products?Don't look at what level you are!

The shipbuilding plan sent by Maggins is the Royal Navy's plan to replace the old destroyers and frigates. The first plan is based on the Tiger cruiser as the main blueprint to replace the Kokang-class destroyers.

The second is an enlarged version of the county-class destroyer. Alan Wilson recalled that there was a class 82 destroyer in the UK that could match the indicators in front of him, but only one was built.

As for the frigate part, it is also remarkable, but in Alan Wilson's mind, the part that can be discarded at this time, I don't know if the frigate is the prototype of the Sheffield class, but if the cabinet is not satisfied with the scale of the shipbuilding plan, Then the frigate part can be cut off, and a general-purpose destroyer can be built with an [-]-ton destroyer.

This is also Alan Wilson's bottom line. The Royal Navy with two Eagles, two Queen Elizabeths, and five Queen Victorias can't just pick and choose when building a destroyer fleet. Is that plausible?There is no shortage of aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines now, and it is completely unreasonable to care about the escort ships.

"Makins, the Department of Defense has demonstrated that a reduced ship size will not save costs. Why is the quotation for the vertical launch system so high? It's not a radar system. Pamela also has a shipyard. I'll ask her when the time comes." Holding the document of the shipbuilding plan, Allen Wilson gave Makins instructions on the phone.

It's a pity that Pamela Mountbatten has returned to Perth, otherwise he can still talk to the richest woman, how to keep the cost to a minimum while ensuring the quality, that is, to persuade his wife not to make money.

Compared with ships of the same class in the United States, this shipbuilding plan is not satisfactory. He remembered that the Sheffield-class cruiser cost [-] million U.S. dollars, and the Ticonderoga-class cruiser cost [-] billion U.S. dollars. The tonnage can't go straight to the cost of the US Navy, half of it is almost the same.

Now is the time to submit the shipbuilding plan. Considering that the specific direction of the war is not yet known, this can wait for a while.

Every time I come to Hepburn's house, Supreme Authority always feels enthusiastic. Every piece of furniture here is as thick and solid as a house, and also contains a kind of simple charm; the golden sofa is covered with a layer of chestnut color. The velvet cushions, the soft and dense touch, have beautiful memories of two people everywhere.

Of course, I also received complaints. Hepburn complained as if he had suffered a big loss, "It's all my fault that I was young at the time, and I didn't understand it. I was caught by your weakness. Now that I think about it, you took advantage of it."

"I never deny this." Alan Wilson bowed his head to express his apology, not mentioning that he was busy recently because of receiving German guests, and said, "You also know that a war broke out in South Asia, and the cabinet is busy."

"You always have a reason, and it seems like I'm too stingy." Hepburn accepted the man's explanation, expressing her open-mindedness.

But Alan Wilson was not satisfied. He thought it would be better to stabilize the relationship. He took out the photo album of the two and recalled the whole process of dating with Qiuhua. The wedding photos and maternity photos are all good memories.

"It's the video record, take it out and have a look." Alan Wilson hugged Hepburn's body, arousing Ball Flower's vigilance, "Which one?"

"That's it." The supreme authority seldom prays, but in private occasions, it is not too much to watch Hepburn's first movie, the risk is two-way, after all, he is the leading actor.

When Alekseev saw Alan Wilson, Alan Wilson, who was tortured by the unknown situation in South Asia, had adjusted his mentality from the ladies of the same status as his wife, and no longer looked like playing red police without a panoramic view Annoyed like a map, "Is India's plan to attack East Pakistan made by your Soviet Union, especially the airborne operation?"

"There is absolutely no such thing." Alekseev categorically denied it, appearing to be firm even when confronted with questions by Bisso Nakadō.

Alan Wilson stared at Hao Daer's expression, and then murmured, "That's right. Class enemies like you cannot be trusted."

class enemy?Alexeyev was speechless. Isn't this what he should have said? Why did the other party speak so mellowly?He didn't know that cheap father was an existence who practiced miraculous skills.

In Washington, the capital of the United States, Kissinger suggested with a serious face that the United States must deter India's adventurous move, "We must send a signal to the Indians that the US Navy can appear anywhere in the world. Our warships should appear off the coast of India." , and supplies to Pakistan from Iran, Turkey and Jordan.”

Before coming to the White House, Kissinger had just met with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin, had a frank exchange of views, and admitted that the United States and Pakistan had a special relationship.

Nixon was lost in thought, and finally nodded, "Well, that crazy woman must pay the price."

The crazy woman Nixon was talking about was Indira Gandhi, who had visited the United States before. The negotiation between the two was very unpleasant, and now thinking about it makes Nixon feel stuck in his throat.

Nixon expressed his support for Kissinger and ordered the formation of a task force, including "the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, guided missile destroyers including USS King, USS Decatur, USS Parsons. Destroyer Bowser USS Lake Charles, USS McKean, USS Anderson, ammunition supply ship USS Harley Araka, fleet supply ship USS White Plains and an attack nuclear submarine.

It can be said that apart from the British Royal Navy and the Soviet Red Navy, this task force can send the navy of any country to the bottom of the sea within a day.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The No.70 Task Force IV has not assembled yet, and the news has spread all over the world. The United States has no intention of hiding anything. In fact, the United States is afraid that other countries will not know that the United States will interfere, especially India. Deterrence is The root cause of this U.S. Navy dispatch.

When the news reached London, Alan Wilson was still discussing with Makins whether the Secretary of Defense would support the shipbuilding plan. He couldn't help laughing when he received the news, "The good show has just begun."

"What?" Makins really couldn't keep up with the brain circuit of the supreme authority, and asked another question, "Actually, what can all parties in this war gain, and what is the best result?"

"The best outcome for us in the UK is to wait and see what happens. But what about the best outcome for the US, the time for intervention is over."

Alan Wilson recalled what to do from the perspective of the United States at this time when everyone was in position, and answered, "If you know that the India-Pakistan war is destined to break out, from the perspective of the United States, you should do a few things to promote the early outbreak of the India-Pakistan war. Especially before the Himalayas are closed, you can even secretly promise that New Delhi will not interfere, and secretly contacting India’s northern neighbors will support them in fighting India. And India has signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union, which will put The Soviet Union was also involved."

Makins thought about it along this line of thought, and took a breath, "Border conflicts will break out in several countries that may be involved."

Once India-Pakistan, China-India, China-Soviet, and each other follow this layout, border conflicts will be considered trivial, and larger-scale wars may break out.

"So, fortunately, I'm not an American." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, and smiled particularly gloomyly. If he was a person of the same status in the United States, he would definitely plan according to this step.

Even if a large-scale war does not break out in the countries involved, it will deepen the hostility between these countries. As long as this is done, it will make a lot of money.

There is nothing to hide. If he is an American, he will definitely plan this way, and he will not hesitate even for a second. Everything is to maintain American hegemony as his lifelong goal.Let go of right and wrong first, only success and failure.

But he's British, and American hegemony doesn't care?The United States is too powerful, it will only treat all countries as dogs, not to mention anything else, did you consider the feelings of the United Kingdom when it troubled Xiangjiang?

Doesn't the United States know how many interests Xiangjiang and Britain have?As a result, the United States not only did it, but also had to let the United Kingdom support it with a smiling face.

I don’t know if it’s because I was psychologically shadowed by the empire on which the sun never sets when I was a child. Even if Britain is so virtuous in the 21st century, the United States still needs to do some tricks from time to time.Alan Wilson didn't have a good pregnancy, so he could only guard against this suspicious ally all the time.

"Now we'll see if the Soviet Union will take over." Alan Wilson smiled all over his face. The third India-Pakistan war was a famous confrontation between the US Navy and the Soviet Red Navy.

Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the theory of a nuclear war at sea was considered bankrupt. The Soviets discovered that submarines could not solve all problems, and since then began to catch up.In the 70s, after nearly ten years of construction, the Soviet Red Navy began to look for places to test their own construction results.

Makins opened his mouth wide, more exaggerated than he saw the body of his little mistress, "Allen, the Soviet Red Navy dared to confront the US Navy. Everyone has seen the results of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Even if the construction over the years has been fruitful, Can the Soviets fight naval warfare? They are inexperienced."

"Dear Executive Deputy Secretary, the Navy is the military branch that best embodies that combat experience is bullshit."

Alan Wilson curled his lips, Maggins is a permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of National Defense, at least he can be professional, "The US faced the Spanish fleet in the Spanish-American War. Spain has been a maritime power since the Armada, and it has little combat experience. What? What was the result? The face of the empire on which the sun never sets has been completely humiliated.”

In fact, the truth that can best reflect the truth of strong ships and guns is the Sino-Japanese War. The time period of the late Qing Dynasty can be said to be the fastest growing time since the emergence of human beings. The Opium War and the First Industrial Revolution have just ended, and I just want to accept it. Before any foreign ideas have been digested, the second industrial revolution has begun.

The problem faced by people in the late Qing Dynasty was that when the senior high school entrance examination was approaching, the higher-ups notified you to change the textbooks.The warships of the Beiyang Fleet are in that era of rapid elimination. If the war started one year earlier, the strength of the Beiyang Fleet would still be higher than that of Japan, and the strength of the Japanese Navy would surpass the Beiyang Fleet one year later. That's how fast it is.

The military that needs the most combat experience is the army. It is useless to recruit a large number of veterans who have died in battle. It is useless to change the result of an instant collapse.

After the Battle of Kursk, Germany lost its strategic offensive power. The counterattack speed of the Soviet army that Stalin attacked ten times was no slower than the German Blitzkrieg. the result.

Does the U.S. Navy’s combat experience refer to the experience of ejecting carrier-based aircraft in a safe sea area against a country that cannot build a navy at all?If you refer to this point, the United States is indeed very experienced.

In Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, Brezhnev is holding a supreme meeting. Marshal Gorshkov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy, is also present. This time the highest meeting is discussing the ongoing India-Pakistan war. Marshal Gorshkov Introduced the news that the United States has established a task force and is heading for the Bay of Bengal.

"There is no doubt that this is a kind of deterrence. The United States likes this. It sends a signal telling others what it is going to do, hoping that others will retreat." KGB Chairman Andropov shook his head slightly, "Obviously the United States sent The purpose of the task force is to hope that Indira Gandhi will stop the offensive, Comrade Brezhnev, this is the current situation."

Andropov handed the latest information to Brezhnev, and at the same time introduced to others, "Bangladesh is surrounded by Indian land on three sides, and Pakistan's defenders are less than [-]. It is impossible to cover everything. At present, except for the western defense line, Pakistan's defense The army is still holding on, and the northern and eastern borders have been penetrated by Indian offensive troops. The Indian army has penetrated deep into East Pakistan and landed in the airborne brigade near Dhaka, which is still carrying fierce battles with the local defenders."

"The airborne troops did not carry any heavy weapons, and the Pakistani defenders did not delay their annihilation until now, which also shows that the Pakistani defenders are not optimistic."

Brezhnev nodded as he listened, "It's useless to defend only one side. The Indian army's assaults in the north and east are still unable to achieve strategic goals. It is certain that although the western offensive has encountered some obstacles, it can only serve The role of delaying the fall of the whole country. In this situation, Indira Gandhi will not stop the attack."

"Yes, we also judged that way." Andropov changed the subject at this time, "The battlefield is actually not far from the British colony of Malaya, but judging from London's intelligence, the British are not interested in interfering in the situation in South Asia. Great, the British Foreign Office has stated several times that it is only willing to help in the subsequent reconstruction, but it is unwilling to intervene in the current war."

Andropov misunderstood, saying that the UK did not take any action at all. Alan Wilson is asking if France has time. After all, although French India is not big, it still has [-] square kilometers. France still has a consulate in it. As for the operation, shouldn't the flag of Charles de Gaulle be held high to safeguard the glorious French interests?

The UK is all for the sake of France, but the French don't appreciate it, and they don't respond to the olive branch handed over by the UK at all, which Andropov doesn't know.

"However, Indira Gandhi has asked whether the Soviet-Indian friendship treaty is still valid?" Foreign Minister Gromyko said about India's response, and the strength of the No.70 Task Force IV is huge.Although the Indian Navy has a giant-class aircraft carrier sold by the United Kingdom, it is not enough for this task force.

What India can rely on now is the Soviet Union, which has just signed a treaty of friendship. India can't handle this task force.

After Gromyko finished speaking, all eyes fell on Brezhnev. Whether to respond to the deterrent actions of the United States, the decision rests with this No. [-] figure who never speaks loudly.

"It doesn't matter who is more wrong in our differences with comrades in the East. At this stage, the Soviet Union cannot lose India. Now that the friendship treaty has been signed. The Soviet Union has to bear its obligations. I think this is also the purpose of Indira's inquiry. , tell her that the Treaty of Friendship is still in force and that Soviet support for India is unwavering, which of course includes the liberation of Bengal."

Brezhnev made a decision in a slow but very firm tone, and then looked at Marshal Gorshkov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy, "Show the courage of the proletariat, my marshal, do you have confidence?"
