Chapter 1193 Help Arrives After the War
"It is a great honor for me, Princess Margaret, to serve you." Alan Wilson grabbed Princess Margaret's hand and kissed it gently.
It is the obligation of every British citizen to make the princess happy. Alan Wilson deeply believes that only when Her Royal Highness the Princess is happy, everyone will be happy. Her Royal Highness the Princess still has many outstanding qualities, such as her light body and soft body...
Princess Margaret is British, and she will not worry about gains and losses in the most sublime stalls in Britain. The real difficulty is Xia Meng. She is Chinese. Now that British public opinion has changed, it is inevitable that she will not be worried. .
In front of Alan Wilson, Xia Mengmeng's appearance of not daring to ask anything fully reflects this entanglement and hesitation.
"What's wrong, dear." Alan Wilson had to take the initiative to speak, so as not to upset the lady who had the same status as his wife, and to prevent Xia Meng from getting upset.
"I read in the newspapers that Britain is setting up an expeditionary force." Xia Meng frowned, his expression full of melancholy.
"The newspaper is full of fake news. Is it worthy of belief?" Alan Wilson shook his head and dismissed the so-called uncrowned king. "The UK has not formulated a similar plan. It has not been considered at all."
"But Britain has gathered the most powerful fleet after the war. This must be right." Xia Meng grimaced and did not relax just because of the answer to a question. "There are also Xiangjiang. Some people say..."
"What are you talking about? Close the port? That's impossible. Britain really has a cow." Alan Wilson smiled sarcastically, "So what if the Royal Navy is assembled, and the aircraft carrier cannot go ashore. Don't think that Indians also speak English. We will look up to them. In the eyes of the British, they are destined to crawl at the bottom and crawl at the feet of the British. But now that India is independent, they are not even servants."
"Don't think that we really support India. Racially speaking, Eastern Europeans are whiter than us. Difference is our enemy. The capacity of this world is limited. Without great progress in technology, While others get more, Britain gets less. We cannot allow a large number of people to live the same life as us. No one can, let alone India."
"From this point of view, I would like to thank your motherland for helping us destroy the self-confidence of the former colony. It has solved one of several problems. Looking at this, everyone will be in peace in a short time."
How timely this war has come. Looking at the past few years, the two most populous countries seemed to wear a pair of pants. Can the free world sleep well if this continues?
Don't think that India is not a threat if it is not in the Soviet system. For Britain, which is at the top of the food chain, the existence of a country that has the potential to threaten the current international order is unreasonable in itself.
As for dispatching the Royal Navy, it must be dispatched. In later generations, Britain has lost this ability, so while it still has the ability to show off its prestige, it should do so without hesitation.
Of course, this is not a problem of the UK itself. In fact, it was similar to other European countries in later generations. They have almost abolished their Cold War martial arts skills. The UK is an offshore financial center, and France is a run-down settlement riding on Africa.
Germany has industry but no military, all European countries are heavily in debt, and many countries enjoy the support of high-premium luxury goods. The most glorious time was the short period after the end of the Cold War and before the outbreak of the Yugoslav War.
Since then, the gap has been widened by the United States. You must know that Europe's strength against Russia is based on its economy surpassing Russia. How many times did the United States lose its economic advantage? How can we convince citizens that we are righteous?
Anyway, Alan Wilson is very pessimistic about Europe in a few decades. If everyone's economy collapses at the same time, Russia, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, will obviously be better able to resist. With its low human rights advantages and massive natural resources, is it still afraid of going all the way down?
What's more, with Europe by its side, how could Europe resist? If it could resist, it would be Germany, not the Soviet Union, that would win the Soviet-German War.
While you still have this strength, it would be stupid not to show your presence. Xia Meng might not understand it, but after in-depth communication, he understood it.
After Alan Wilson appeased Xia Meng, he went to the Ministry of National Defense to ask Field Marshal Mountbatten if there was anything that could help India's rags. He believed that there must be something. After all, Britain was the main participant in the world war.
"It's so good that even if it's given to India, India won't be able to use it." Alan Wilson said in front of Mountbatten an argument that was completely opposite to British public opinion.
Just yesterday, The Times, the largest newspaper in the UK, commented bluntly: "Only if the Indian army is equipped with U.S. quantity and quality of armaments, can India defeat its enemies."
The Times is not on the side of India. It is clearly taking the opportunity to ridicule India, because India has always advocated adopting the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence to solve problems. If it asks for help after a complete defeat, it will definitely be complained by the British.
This also made The Times sarcastically say: “Today’s India has completely changed its previous foreign policy.”
Gu Shuai/span> In the White House of the United States, Kennedy was also asking CIA Director Dulles, "Is India really on the eve of collapse as the British said?"
"Dear President, that's probably it." Dulles' title to Kennedy has changed slightly since the report about Roosevelt's lifetime, but it's a pity that Kennedy didn't catch it.
"Then we should indeed stop it, but it's also troublesome." Kennedy said, changing the topic, "Just like what the UK is doing now, isn't it a waste of work and effort?"
Kennedy was referring to the demonstration involving the Royal Navy. Can the Royal Navy land and fight? cannot! Britain's move is just like the United States' use of its navy in the Cuban Missile Crisis. It appears to be a major war, but in fact it is stalling for time.
The United States had just ended the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it was natural to see at a glance that the old father had the same purpose as himself.
The key is that Kennedy cannot expose the British yet, and the Cuban Missile Crisis has not been forgotten. If it were another occasion, he would not mind teasing the British, but not now. If the British move is exposed, then the previous US Navy maneuvers may also be exposed.
After some thought, Kennedy gave up this demonstration occasion to Britain. India is a former British colony. The UK has reason to express its stance, but the US has no such reason. The US has a very good relationship with Pakistan, but not a good relationship with India.
There are two reasons for the United States to give the old father a chance to show off: First, the Cuban Missile Crisis game is unfolding near the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. military has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and a military conflict with the Soviet Union is about to break out. This makes the United States focus on the Western Hemisphere. The United States has no time to look eastward to the situation in Asia.
At the same time, after the partition of India and Pakistan, Pakistan became an important strategic ally of the United States. Therefore, considering Pakistan's diplomatic stance, the United States did not dare to easily provide large-scale military assistance to India.
So Kennedy finally adopted diplomatic support and acquiesced to Britain's use of the Royal Navy to show off.
When things have developed to this point, the glory of the world stage may have to be given to Britain.
Is it a little? The Cuban Missile Crisis was obviously eased under the promotion of the United Kingdom. This is what the Soviets said.
Kennedy actually wanted to overturn this obvious fact? This is simply unreasonable.
However, Alan Wilson did not have the same experience as the traitor at the moment. After rummaging through the cabinets of the Ministry of Defense, Alan Wilson, with the help of Marshal Mountbatten, found the World War II inventory of nine brigades. Naturally, such large equipment cannot be transported by air. Make a careful plan to start from the British mainland, pass through the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, and finally be transported to India.
Although the equipment has not yet arrived, there is no delay in announcing it first. Soon the British Foreign Office announced that it would provide assistance to India with advanced equipment enough to arm nine brigades. How advanced it is is still a secret for the time being.
Of course, not everyone supports this statement. Britain's current attitude towards India is quite divided.
It can be seen from previous reports in The Times that on the one hand, Britain hopes to show the love of its mother country, and on the other hand, it does not conceal its schadenfreude at seeing the misfortune of its former colonies.
The formation of this attitude is very complicated, but it does exist. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it would immediately assist India, British public opinion changed again. On the one hand, it affirmed the legitimacy of British aid, and on the other hand, it believed that regardless of whether the Indians received No equipment can change the fate of defeat.
Although Britain's statement that it firmly stands on India's side is resounding, it will take about two months after discussions between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense before the Indians will see the aid that has not yet been shipped.
"I believe the whole world has seen the unquestionable attitude of the British Empire." Faced with a group of reporters, Alan Wilson said in an extremely sublime state.
"Sir Allen, I wonder if some people think that the origin of the war was the McMahon Line. What do you think?"
"Oh, a very sharp question. There is indeed such a line, but this line can be drawn casually. Whether it is effective or not is still a very complicated issue." Faced with this problem, Alan Wilson directly shirks responsibility. It’s not like he drew the line, he did draw one, the Wilson Line in Goa.
After breaking out of the siege of reporters, Alan Wilson immediately returned to Whitehall, and returned to his usual indifference in front of Norman Brooke, "Alan, when do you think it is appropriate to take substantial support?"
"After the war is over!" Alan Wilson replied without thinking, "We can deploy a company of troops and land in New Delhi on a strategic transport plane. Once the war ceases, let them carry the Union Jack flag in the name of aid. Landing at New Delhi Airport.”
