Chapter 1198 The World Is Very Realistic
"Hey, I'm so happy, as if I've successfully deceived the little girl's body." As soon as he entered the door, the proud Deputy Secretary faced Hedy Lamarr's ridicule.
"Heidi, what are you talking about? I am completely loyal to you, how can any little girl compare with you?" Alan Wilson's face straightened, saying that Heidi Lamarr was the only one in his heart at this time.
Hedy Lamarr raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said noncommittally to the man's words, "Oh, that's right. I am an ordinary woman with no glamor. I don't dare to have such extravagant expectations. It seems that Hepburn has been away from acting for a year, right? How is she recently? ?”
It is not normal for a female star to retire at a popular age, but others just find it strange.
But Hedy Lamarr not only felt strange, she also died during the birth and knew the process very well.
She guessed that Hepburn, who was in the midst of her popularity, had disappeared and was busy looking for a place to give birth to her child. Although she didn't know what method Alan Wilson used to make Hepburn make such a big sacrifice, she felt that this was most likely the case.
Alan Wilson's face turned red and white, and he felt a rare feeling of embarrassment. He stepped forward and whispered, "Heidi, look at me working hard for my career..."
"Maybe I should forgive you." Hedy Lamarr followed Alan Wilson's words and let the man hold her body. "You are just like most men, you like beautiful women. No? Then do you think I'm pretty? Don't you want to do something to me? "
Of course that was what he was thinking, but not only was he thinking about it, Alan Wilson also wanted to take action and express his apology to Hedy Lamarr.
Alan Wilson has always been brave and good at fighting, and he has a good balance between public and private affairs. Especially after receiving two big contracts, he has been blessed with bravery. The significance of the tank order is naturally needless to say.
The fighter jet order is also a huge gain. Alan Wilson does not look down on the high-altitude and high-speed second-generation aircraft. He feels that the second-generation mobile phone, which is generally not highly praised by later generations, is indeed a very embarrassing and excessive existence.
But if others have it, what if you don’t? There must be a reason, and Alan Wilson couldn't find it. This is not something he can get away with using the rhetoric of a civil servant.
For this reason, he deliberately recommended the technology of the TSR.2 attack aircraft to Sweden, using this offshore balancer second only to the United Kingdom in Europe to conduct technical verification for the United Kingdom and accumulate experience for the next generation of fighter jets.
Now that there is demand in India again, that is really great. I am so sleepy that I sent pillows. Although Hindustan Aeronautics is famous for its attacks on aviation manufacturers around the world.
But Alan Wilson doesn't think this is a problem. In his eyes, the second-generation machine itself is an excessive generation. Britain had better control the scale of its equipment. If Indians want to perform a plane crash, that is India's freedom.
Besides, India has its own national conditions here. It is certainly impossible to knock down only British planes. Fighters from other countries will also be hit. If everyone is thrown down, it can only mean that it is India's own problem.
Of course, Alan Wilson would never agree to a real weapon. For example, he copied the shell of Apache and made a British Tiger gunship. According to the feedback from Northern Rhodesia, it is really easy to use. , plagiarized and produced a high-quality product.
The British themselves are not using it enough. You have to know that Europe is facing the huge armored cluster of the Soviet Union, and there is no time for India. The Germans also need it, and the Italians also think it is good. Now it is a key product for British exports to earn foreign exchange.
And India has really not mentioned it. India’s arms procurement is like this. It is full of first-line stars’ arms. If it doesn't seem important, just deal with it and get through it.
Hedy Lamarr was quite satisfied with the sublime performance of the Deputy Secretary of the Empire, so she did not mention why Hepburn retired from acting.
Reassuring logistical support was the top priority. Lab Butler went to Alan Wilson to discuss the matter. He had no objection to the arms purchase, but he was asking whether Xiangjiang would be more alert.
"My dear minister, the Royal Navy cannot fight a land war. Whether we are prepared or not will not change the outcome."
Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Now we should think about the problem of Pakistan. Instead of unwarranted threats, we can know from what happened in Kenya that India's defeat created a broken window effect, just like the Russo-Japanese War that escalated The Korean War established a new power just as the status of the yellow race was eliminated."
"The biggest gain from this war in India is that in the wider world, India is no longer taken seriously. This world is very realistic, and I can conclude that the non-violent non-cooperation movement will grow rapidly from The colonies were fading, which is why the Royal Navy did not come over in East Africa, and used the excuse of heavy casualties among Indians in Kenya to carry out indiscriminate bombings against tribes in Kenya who were dissatisfied with the British."
"We can take advantage of the unfair treatment of Indians to cleanse radical anti-colonial tribes. This is a perfect excuse, because black people really killed many Indians this time. But since we can No matter what, Pakistan will inevitably not think of other problems from India’s defeat this time.”
"You mean that Pakistan will improve relations with its neighbors and face India together?" Rab Butler said with a frown.
"It's almost inevitable." Alan Wilson answered resolutely, "And we can't stop it. Even if we exhaust all diplomatic means, we can't stop Pakistan from getting closer to its natural allies. Because Pakistan has realized after this time that with Pakistan India is unable to resist, and only this neighbor can deal with it."
Although Alan Wilson did not want to draw such a pessimistic conclusion, it is better to be realistic about this matter.
"But the relationship between Pakistan and the United States is very good." Rab Butler was a little surprised.
The relationship between the United States and Pakistan reached a very close level, mainly because the United States wanted to use Pakistan to contain other countries, led by the Soviet Union.
As an important strategic base of the United States in South Asia, the United States attaches great importance to Pakistan and is eager to strengthen relations between the United States and Pakistan. Pakistan leased the Peshawar Air Force Base to the US military, joined the anti-Soviet military alliance initiated by the United States, and became the United States' closest ally in Asia.
"My minister!" Alan Wilson, as the spokesman for the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, did not want to say something too clearly, but the deputy secretary must fulfill his duties. "The United States did not win the Korean War and could not help Pakistan on land. What."
After India's defeat this time, the pattern formed is an opportunity for other powerful countries to reshuffle the cards, turning it into a series of offshore balancing stages, and it is the most suitable stage for offshore balancing in the world.
Why do you say this? First of all, the UK is most familiar with offshore balancing. It helps the third child to fight against the second child. This is called offshore balancing. The third child cannot beat the second child, but he must have the ability to protect himself.
Using Lithuania to balance Russia is not called offshore balancing. The Czechoslovakia of the Munich Conference is very suitable for Lithuania.
Pakistan's national power is weaker than that of India, but India cannot destroy Pakistan. Pakistan is very suitable to introduce external forces as a balance. The impressive India is not a rival of a certain big country and can be used to balance a certain big country.
Pakistan and a certain major country are jointly dealing with the impressive India, while India is thinking about how to break this disadvantage. India will definitely get closer to the Soviet Union in the future. This forms a logical closed loop of checks and balances.
Alan Wilson did not spell out the role of the Soviet Union, but explained to the Foreign Secretary how the situation was likely to evolve in the future.
Without talking about the Soviet Union, Rab Butler accepted this rhetoric, "We support India and the United States supports Pakistan. It is really a complicated geopolitical relationship."
"Indeed, Minister." Alan Wilson nodded. After India approaches the Soviet Union, will Britain's position change and support Pakistan together with the United States?
That is impossible. We in Great Britain do not stick to our positions. It mainly depends on who gives more money. India is richer than Pakistan and is willing to add more money. Britain will definitely side with India, even if India has a good relationship with the Soviet Union.
Rab Butler is no longer obsessed with the geopolitical situation. The harvest from this trip is huge. There is news that India will increase military spending to 45% of the fiscal budget. This is a huge expense.
Rab Butler doesn't care whether India is militarizing. He only cares about the implementation of India's two major orders, which will definitely satisfy domestic military industry companies.
The two people who had gained a lot, after re-promoting the invitation to the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting, embarked on the return journey. Go straight to Brussels to attend the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting.
Alan Wilson took the opportunity to inform Portugal of the fact that India was going to strengthen its armaments. As Portugal's Supernumerary Colonial Minister, he shouldered the responsibility as he should. He talked about the experience of Northern Rhodesia, such as setting up minefields around Goa.
The meeting in Brussels was tense and busy. Not only was the French government of Charles de Gaulle advocating for European unity because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was a concern for Rab Butler, but it was also very difficult for Alan Wilson and the Dragoon sisters to deal with it.
"It seems to have lost weight in the end." Anna's eyes flashed as she held the handle, "It seems I should take good care of it..."
"Okay, Anna." Pokina stopped her, telling her little sister not to be ungrateful, "Our selling of silver has recovered the previous operating costs, and the rest is profit. The stock price has also returned to the level of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Until then, my dear, when do you think it’s time to sell?”
"It would be more appropriate in the first half of the year." Alan Wilson hesitated and replied, "The United States is considered safe until the election."
Bokina nodded, and then went straight to the point, "We will stay with you in Brussels these days. I deliberately set up a branch in London. Anna and I will take turns sitting in the office, so that you will not be alone."
"A united Europe is also what the UK would like to see." Alan Wilson expressed his approval in the tone of France at the EC meeting.
