Chapter 1166 What Is Supposed to Come Will Always Come

"Jazz is authority." Alan Wilson had no objection. This was Norman Brooke's decision. Although the Permanent Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs was a senior official in Whitehall, how could he dare to object to the decision of the Cabinet Secretary?

With Norman Brooke in front, the appointment of the Diamond Ambassador is a sure thing. The remaining steps are very simple, and they are nothing more than telling George Blake how important the work is, France's status in Europe, etc.

"George, did you have any grudges when you failed to evacuate in time and were captured? You must know that the French Communist Party is still quite powerful in France." Alan Wilson took the initiative to ask, hoping to find out something.

However, George Blake did not show any abnormality, and Alan Wilson could only stop making wild guesses. Maybe nothing really happened.

The matter was settled, and George Blake immediately went to Paris to take up his post, serving as a bridge of friendship between Britain and France. . Of course, the main job is to truthfully report every move of suspicious allies.

The European Community is like an eggshell, protecting Britain and France, the old rulers. But even if it is an eggshell, there are still rules about who is the boss, just like the role of NATO is to resist the Soviet Union and suppress Germany. The role of the European Community was to give Britain a platform to suppress France.

The work arrangement was finally over, and Alan Wilson let out a sigh of relief. Not only was he busy recently, his wife, the richest man in the UK and the richest woman in the world, was also constantly holding meetings, making arguments, and completing her share of the Ministry of Military Industry. Reorganized and re-established a new equity distribution model.

Of course, in the military industry, listing does not play a big role. The market value of Lockheed Martin in later generations is only a fraction of that of star stocks. I believe no one will think that Wal-Mart is more important to the United States than it is.

"Grace has been hanging around you for several days. What are you doing here this time?" Pamela Mountbatten, who also had a little free time, could finally care about her husband and asked the militia leader what he was doing here.

"Of course I'm here to ask for help. Northern Rhodesia is under a lot of pressure right now." Alan Wilson told the truth.

"No way? I follow the local newspapers and they are all saying that Lumumba's army suffered heavy losses and Katanga's freedom fighters continued to win." Pamela Mountbatten was surprised. How could this conflict with her information?

Alan Wilson choked up and said with a strange expression, "Victory is getting closer and closer to Lubumbashi. The battle reports will lie, but the battle lines will not lie. Facing the military advisers of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, thanks to the large area of ​​Congo, the climate has It was not friendly to the Eastern Europeans, and it would be even more uncomfortable for Grace if they were replaced by the Viet Cong.”

"But having said that, is the relationship between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union really so close?" Pamela Mountbatten sighed.

"If I hadn't given you guidance at any time, I would have been afraid that you would have lost your wealth.

"Alan Wilson sighed sadly, the monopoly bourgeoisie should care about politics, and said feebly, "The history of Yugoslavia is a history of imperial Russia inserting swords at the sides of its allies. "

Imperial Russia and even the Soviet Union were indeed very domineering in their affairs. Many countries have suffered disadvantages on this point. If you want not to suffer disadvantages, your national strength must be above it.

But there is another characteristic of this country, and that is that things are true. Both Britain and France have benefited from this.

During World War I, Imperial Russia received a request for help from France, which was struggling to support it, before completing its mobilization. It hastily launched an attack on Germany, which gave the British and French allied forces on the Western Front a chance to breathe, allowing Germany to mobilize troops from the Western Front to return reinforcements.

This is even more obvious in Serbia. For the Serbians, it is not an exaggeration to say that Diona is a blessing of renewal.

Other countries talk about a blood alliance, just for fun. These two countries are the real blood alliance.

It was during the Tenth Russo-Turkish War that Imperial Russia defeated the Ottoman Empire and forced it to sign the Treaty of San Stefano, allowing Serbia, both Slavic brothers and Orthodox Christians, to escape five centuries of Turkish rule. , to achieve national independence.

Before World War I, it supported the "Balkan Alliance" formed by Serbia and other countries, which defeated the Ottoman army. In the subsequent war, it defeated Bulgaria and annexed Kosovo and North Macedonia.

The First World War broke out precisely because the Russians mobilized the whole country for the sake of Serbia and against the alliance of Austria-Hungary and Germany. They fought bloody battles for four years, lost nine million people, and lost a great empire. What kind of love is this?

During World War II, the Yugoslav government had just signed an alliance treaty with Germany, but was overthrown by the Yugoslavs. Germany was shocked and deployed its troops to attack Yugoslavia first, otherwise it would have been earlier to attack the Soviet Union.

"It's best to pray that Tito lives a little longer and that the country of Yugoslavia becomes independent and becomes a completely pro-Soviet country by the time Tito dies." Alan Wilson spread his hands to his wife, "So you know the combination Grace is facing is What's the matter? It's an alliance that wears a pair of pants, and is much more harmonious than the United Kingdom and the United States."

In terms of pursuing victory, it was definitely the right move for NATO to kill Yugoslavia just after the Soviet Union collapsed. Otherwise, regardless of this little Balkan power, it would be difficult for Emperor O to get rid of the Khitans and replace him with the Great Emperor.

"No wonder he is so anxious! He really has met his opponent. How did you answer him?" Pamela Mountbatten asked in a low voice.

"I told him to wait!" Alan Wilson didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Pamela Mountbatten felt that her husband seemed to be a little high-spirited recently and was in a state of worrying about gains and losses. Although she didn't know where this feeling came from, as a wife, she kept silent and offered to travel around England.

"Okay." Alan Wilson agreed readily. He would never refuse the person he was sleeping with. He had no idea that his wife was doing it for him. The two immediately went on an off-the-cuff trip with his father-in-law and his family.

Broadlands Manor is located in Hampshire. It is one of several manors built by Lady Edwina Mountbatten's maternal grandfather, Sir Kessel. Several houses in the manor are very grand and magnificent, but also a bit eerie.

Mountbatten, who was accustomed to his military career, seemed a little at a loss and didn't know what to do: he no longer took reading as a pleasure; except for the watercolor paintings painted by himself, he rarely appreciated anyone's works; except for a few dances, he rarely He listened to less music; he was no longer interested in the traditional pursuits and hobbies of British gentlemen. He stopped planting flowers and grass, and was tired of horse racing.

Fishing also lost patience. Although he still has a strong interest in polo, his physical strength does not allow it.

This is not as good as his son-in-law. Alan Wilson's philosophy of life is to stay still. Marshal Mountbatten has many hobbies but cannot be interested in them. Alan Wilson's biggest hobby when he is on vacation is lying on corpses.

In order to satisfy her father's hobbies, Pamela Mountbatten did her best, because her old father was now short of money.

Of course, Mountbatten had no worries about food and clothing, and his life was still luxurious. Compared with ordinary people, his "lack of money" is in another sense. For example, he was hesitant about whether to spend 10,000 pounds to buy an oil painting from the last century; he was undecided about whether he should spend 30,000 pounds to repave the south road of the manor.

This kind of financial embarrassment is not a problem at all in the eyes of the younger daughter. As for the mere son-in-law, he doesn't care about it at all. Taking the check for half a million pounds from Pamela Mountbatten, Mountbatten declined absently, " Alan will be unhappy if you already have a family.”

"Would he be unhappy? He didn't even bother to look at the check." Pamela Mountbatten put the check into her father's hand and complained a little, "I still don't know to this day what he cares about. I even feel that even if a nuclear war breaks out , and he won’t frown even more.”

"Ah..." Not far away, Alan Wilson, who was concentrating on lying on the couch, let out a long yawn, adjusted his lying posture, and continued his policy of responding to the ever-changing policy of staying the same.

On this day, the U.S. Army's OV-1 "Mohawk" reconnaissance aircraft began to take off from the Air Force Base in Florida, USA, and headed to Cuba for reconnaissance as usual.

The OV-1 Mohawk reconnaissance aircraft was built in response to a U.S. Army solicitation for a specialized battlefield observation platform.

The aircraft prides itself on its short takeoff and landing capabilities, crew armor and system redundancy that allow it to continue flying despite small fire attacks. The Mohawk has proven to be an ideal observation platform. .

Carrying out low-altitude work, which is of course risky, may lead to eviction. However, after verification, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff believes that there should be no chance of being shot down, and the ov-1 "Mohawk" reconnaissance aircraft has a relatively short range due to the geographical location of the United States and Cuba. .

Cuba has the rainy season from May to October, and the tropical climate is relatively changeable, so it can rain heavily and clear up immediately in a day. The weather forecasting work is very arduous and often leads to surprises.

The reconnaissance plane is cruising at normal cruising speed in the high altitude and is slowly approaching the Soviet military station. According to the decision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the reconnaissance plane will continue to conduct a thorough inspection of the Soviet military facilities in Cuba. See Let’s see if the Soviets are really what they say they are, they are just helping Cuba to defend itself.

"What is that?" While cruising, the pilot captured a heavy truck entering the building through panoramic photography of synthetic aperture radar. But it was just a flash and he didn't see it clearly, but the photo had been taken by the high-resolution photography combination system, and he would know it when he got back.

Using synthetic aperture radar panoramic photography to capture clear images of ground scenes within a range of 200 kilometers wide and 4,300 kilometers long, and printing out 4,000 photos for intelligence analysis, requires one flight. A sweeping view of Cuba.

By the time the Soviet radar detected the unknown signal, the American reconnaissance plane had long since disappeared.
