Chapter 1069 European Space Agency

There is no doubt that this was a landmark event in the space race, once again preempted by the Soviet Union.

The success of the first manned space flight is of great significance, but on the surface, no country jumps out to criticize this huge progress for all mankind. It is nothing more than some newspapers blaming why their country did not become the first.

"All specific information will have to wait until the TASS news agency announces it. All we know now is that Khrushchev is preparing to welcome this hero in Moscow." Faced with Macmillan's question, Alan Wilson expressed his concern in a seemingly understatement, but also appropriately expressed his concern. He explained in a tone of voice, "I think Washington should be more anxious than us."

"How can they have such technological strength?" MacMillan stared at his constipated face, still looking in disbelief.

"I don't know!" Alan Wilson also looked confused. He really couldn't estimate whether the current Soviet Union was superior in aerospace capabilities. In the original time and space, the Soviet Union's initial strength in the space race had a certain risk factor.

The Soviet Union's scientific and technological strength is slightly worse than that of the free world, but the Soviet Union has done a particularly good job integrating this area in the military field, integrating first-class materials into super-first-class equipment.

But when it comes to the United States, which has super first-class funds and materials, and piling up super first-class equipment, krypton gold players still can't completely handle it.

As the United States regarded the moon landing as a national project, it eventually came from behind to complete the moon landing.

But the history in his mind is still different from the present. Alan Wilson cannot judge how much attention the von Braun team has received in the Soviet aerospace field, and whether there is a chemical reaction with Kolyrov. Naturally, he cannot judge the Soviet Union's Where has our aerospace strength reached?

As for borrowing intelligence, don’t be ridiculous. It’s good that the UK itself won’t be infiltrated into a sieve. But it still wants to infiltrate the Soviet Union? Being able to use the British Embassy in Moscow to obtain some public information would be considered a mission accomplished.

"Where is our space program?" Macmillan knew that Alan Wilson was responsible for the operation of the Australian launch site, and he was right to ask his deputy secretary.

"A step to launch a satellite. Manned spaceflight has been delayed because of the Blue Light intercontinental missile project." Alan Wilson told the truth, a little embarrassed, "According to the calculations of the Royal Space Society, the long-term cost will be more than 500 million pounds. The Ministry of Finance has this There are quite a few criticisms, and it is not easy to get funding. The small amount of funds must be spent on intercontinental missiles that make the UK safer."

Britain's manned spaceflight is just a blast. In fact, it is only in the PPT stage. Satellites are launched a lot. The main function is to occupy the best earth orbit for future use.

The British aerospace project is currently mainly researching satellite navigation.

Moreover, it is a secret research, and it is announced to the outside world that it is mainly focused on the Blue Light strategic missile project. Of course, because it is suspected of being a military secret, the Foreign Secretary is not suitable to know about it.

"Isn't there some way?" Macmillan was a little discouraged. Britain obviously had a slow start, but now it is in embarrassment.

Not a slow start? Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. If I hadn't personally been keeping an eye on the aerospace project, the UK would be the tail end of the P5 and would not have made as much progress as France's aerospace project.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do, but the French may cause trouble for us. We can try to lead European countries to integrate their aerospace capabilities for the UK's use."

Alan Wilson pondered after saying this, "Of course, in name, it must be called the European Space Agency, but doing so is not entirely smooth sailing. France may not recognize the UK's leading role in European space, especially the Fifth Republic. Compared to before de Gaulle came to power, France is really seeking to make its voice heard."

Britain and France are brothers in distress. At least at this time, the British aerospace field is still stronger than France. Generally speaking, technology is king, and the European Space Agency should be led by the United Kingdom, but the French will most likely not agree.

Alan Wilson was just giving Macmillan a piece of advice, not a guarantee that it would be done. If we don’t consider moon landings, put aside manned spaceflight, and limit ourselves to satellite navigation, the UK can do it on its own.

If it doesn't work out, Alan Wilson is willing to surrender on behalf of the sovereign country and find someone to take advantage of? It is a cooperation between a prosperous big country, a prosperous big country provides money, and a declining suzerain country provides technology. After success, the name of a prosperous big country can be written, so that both sides have a bright future.

The European Space Agency is not a requirement for the UK, just an option that can be made. this

This is the consequence of the stability of the Commonwealth and the Sterling Area. If the United Kingdom wants to, it can continue to balance offshore. It is impossible to balance offshore the United States and the Soviet Union. It still has this ability for other European countries.

As for the decision, it was up to Macmillan. Alan Wilson had no right to interfere. Who made him a steward.

He can only do some executive-level things, such as receiving the Dragoon sisters visiting the UK and discussing cooperation in the oil field. The Federal Republic of Germany is still willing to show goodwill to the UK, at least the British troops stationed in Germany still exist.

Hellman Oil Company is willing to have a good talk with Britain about the Iranian oil crisis. Alan Wilson can't refuse people thousands of miles away. This is not in line with his...Britain's interests.

The two German strong women are still stunning, and their white glow is enough to make any man fall in love with them.

"If you hadn't come, I would have gone to the East for a visit." Alan Wilson looked indifferent, never mentioning that he did not go to the East for a visit because he had not found a suitable candidate for logistical support.

In countries like the Soviet system, seeing a representative of imperialism is like seeing a thief. They are closely monitored day and night. There is no problem in going to Moscow. That is because the cultural tsar has a status where no one dares to take a second look. .

If we exclude the countries in the hostile camp other than the Soviet Union, even Yugoslavia, Alan Wilson is afraid of being caught by the country's intelligence agency. He didn't care, but he also had to consider the reputation of the woman who provided logistical support.

"My dear, what I like most about you is that you are so confident when you lie." Anna held the man's face and kissed him, smiling like a little fox and saying, "I'm afraid that no one will solve your physical problems. Bar?"

"Why are you talking to your man?" He reached out and patted Anna's butt. The light rippled and Anna's gaze suddenly became as tender as water. No man could resist it.

"I will beat your son when I get back." Anna threatened through gritted silver teeth, refusing to give in to the power of the British occupying forces.

"You beat your own son." Pokina reprimanded her directly with a straight face. She knew that she was tired of men every day and would not show any humility.

Since the introduction of the labor agreement, 80,000 Iranian workers have entered the Federal Republic of Germany. These workers began to replace the Germans in some basic jobs.

This also allowed Germany and Iran to establish a harmonious relationship to a certain extent. Pahlavi was not very interested in the Peace Religion and was bent on restoring the glory of the ancient Persian Empire. In terms of religious and national attributes, Pahlavi was obviously more Prefer the latter.

The Aryan brothers needed labor force, and Pahlavi's promotion of this directly aroused a strong response in Iran.

"Bonn has very strict management of these workers." Bokina, who replaced Anna, turned to Alan Wilson and introduced the current situation in Germany. The United States also expressed support for this behavior.

"The United States wants to support Germany to balance Britain and France. But the Americans must not have imagined that I have already had my own people in Germany to defend against this." Alan Wilson hummed, and the magic is higher than the road, and he buried it. It's been fifteen years since I laid the nails.

"Yeah, no one is smarter than you." Bokina took the initiative to start a verbal dispute, her golden hair caressing the man's face, "What should we do now? Your plan was successful. Britain kept Iran. interests, the United States has no way to break the situation."

"It's not considered a success." Alan Wilson couldn't bear this kind of praise. Kennedy was not a man of martial ethics and was by no means an easy person to deal with.

Alan Wilson remembers that the policy concept proposed by Kennedy during his election was called the New Frontier. The Old Frontier was the United States' westward expansion that lasted for a hundred years, transforming the United States from thirteen states on the Atlantic coast into a two-ocean country.

In terms of foreign policy, it pursues a global strategy of world domination and transforms the strategy of large-scale retaliation into a strategy of flexible response; it strengthens control over Latin America; it proposes a "grand plan" in an attempt to integrate Europe into the Atlantic community with the United States as the main body.

Under this new frontier strategy, Britain and France, especially the United Kingdom, will definitely be squeezed by the new frontier strategy.

If the United States insists on making a breakthrough in Iran, this matter will still be quite difficult.

Alan Wilson was very grateful to the Dragoon sisters for coming to London in the coldest month of winter. Three lonely hearts came together to keep warm at this moment.

The Conservative cabinet is discussing the plan to establish the European Space Agency. The European Space Agency is not a necessary option for the UK. However, if the UK does not propose it, the UK will be passive if France takes the initiative. .

The establishment of the European Space Agency will definitely help Britain's strategy of suppressing France and leading Europe. As for the establishment, the UK will implement the policy of walking on two legs and continue to operate the Australian launch site.

At that time, the UK will focus more on Europe or its own Commonwealth, all in one thought. This idea is very much like the two wings flying together after the war, with the UK as the core, allowing the Commonwealth and the European Community to learn from each other's strengths and strengthen the UK.

Now it seems that Alan Wilson's greatest success is this theory of flying together. He is now practicing the theory of flying together with Bokina and Anna, all for the sake of Britain. No matter how hard it is, we must persevere.

"As for the idea of ​​the European Space Agency, okay, I will find time to communicate with Paris. It is better to communicate through the European Community framework." Alan Wilson put down the microphone and let out a sigh of relief.
