Chapter 1272 Allies Are Surprised

British Civil Servant Text Volume Chapter 1,272 The Amazing Meridian Satellite Positioning System of the Allies has just been completed. If the Galileo system wants to catch up, it must open to civilian use as soon as possible to seize the market. As for profitability, that will be considered later. things. Otherwise, if the system of the same name like the European Union is dragging its feet, sooner or later it will be overtaken by a latecomer.

Alan Wilson does not have to do anything to a certain big country. In fact, because the UK briefly occupied the second space power, the UK really grabbed a lot of good orbits. These tracks were originally supposed to belong to the United States and the Soviet Union.

In the 21st century, the United States has reserved more than one space orbit as a backup, and there is no need to compete with China and Europe for orbits.

If the UK can occupy the European market in satellite positioning systems, this will be a good employment industry for the UK. Originally, this industry should be owned by France. Now the French must work harder to find sustainable industries for France.

It is known that France should have had the largest say in the European aerospace industry, but now it cannot give at least half to the United Kingdom. This loss must be suffered by Africans.

The Galileo positioning system is essentially decided by Britain and France. France needs to position itself in Africa, and Britain's positioning is broader. After all, Asia is relatively far away. The demand exists objectively, and because of its colonial relationship in Malaya, the UK still maintains a large ocean-going fleet. You must know that the original intention of developing the positioning system was to provide navigation for the navy.

Turing was not a womanizer, but was obviously more interested in scientific research. After chatting about this issue, he asked Alan Wilson what he was busy with in Whitehall recently.

"Run for peace." Alan Wilson had a pained look on his face, as if he was exhausted mentally and physically for peace. Waiting is always difficult. Can't the United States act faster?

"Are you worried that with the support of North Vietnam's allies, the war may expand?" Turing was also deceived by the false face and expressed the same concern.

"That's not true!" Alan Wilson forced a laugh. The United States played a good exchange ratio from beginning to end, but it did not prevent the United States from being in a defeated position.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The international status of the United States is in a position where no one is surprised when it wins, and its allies are shocked when it loses. If you win, it's normal. If you lose, it's like Big Brother. Is that okay?

As for North Vietnam and a certain big country behind it, the level of endurance is much higher than that of the United States. Anyway, the worst is not much worse. If there is no war, it will still be coarse grains and pickles.

So what are you afraid of? Just fight! This is not the case in the United States. The over-issued currency and increased expenditures in the United States must be borne by American citizens.

There are not enough materials for support,

The consequences of excessive currency issuance are obvious. The United States invested 250 billion in military expenditures in the Vietnam War, and the cumulative related expenditures are said to exceed 600 billion. It is no wonder that the economy does not have problems.

This can be regarded as the strong national power of the United States in this era. The United States, which is a financial country in the 21st century, is actually more fragile and has to kill Europe to make up for its shortfalls.

As long as the bottom line is low enough, those without money and supplies will be more able to resist. In the Slavic Civil War decades later, the countries involved had the foundation to resist. The question is whether the EU can resist.

Even if the Soviet Union disintegrated and became Russia, it still occupies half of Europe. The half with resources is still the half belonging to other countries. The distribution of resources is at the level of India. If the EU's economy cannot sustain it, it will have a bright future just like Russia.

At a time when the United States is about to demonstrate its military strength, Alan Wilson must carefully adjust Britain's response. At this point in time, he also has to deal with the independence of Yemen and continue to get rid of the worthless colony and let it fend for itself. Destroy yourself and preserve the sphere of influence related to national security and economic interests.

If Yemen wasn't enough, Nyerere now said he wanted independence, and he immediately agreed, leaving Kenya watching.

At four o'clock in the morning at Saigon Port, there was a loud noise, and two magnetic mines detonated at the same time. A huge hole nine meters long and three meters wide was blown out of the power compartment of the "Kard" aircraft carrier. A large amount of seawater surged in instantly. Due to the incident Suddenly, the US military's aircraft carrier damage control procedures did not have time to start. Within ten minutes, the aircraft carrier tilted violently to the right and sank to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 16 meters. Twenty-five US troops were killed on the spot, 39 people were slightly or seriously injured, and 16 carrier-based aircraft sank to the bottom of the sea together. .

This news spread like a storm around the world, and British public opinion began to shout in amazement from its allies again, marveling at the elusiveness of the North Vietnamese frogmen, and shouting to the United States to stop it, because there are all Viet Cong outside.

In this election, McCarthy, who suddenly emerged as a new force and penetrated deeply into the southern base of the Democratic Party, had just defeated the party's candidates and won the nomination of the Republican candidate. At this time, McCarthy was so arrogant that he even received congratulations from London on the other side of the Atlantic. From the heat of the election, the two men maintained dialogue. McCarthy also heard Alan Wilson's complaints and was talking about independence with local representatives in Yemen.

McCarthy comforted his friends and shared his joy in telegrams. Now there was only one obstacle left in front of him: the seemingly favored successor, President Lyndon Johnson.

Although people's efforts must rely on self-strength, the process of history must also be taken into consideration. McCarthy's move deep into the southern base gave the gloomy Republican Party a theoretical hope of victory.

However, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that McCarthy might be destined to miss the presidency, because McCarthy also firmly supported being tough on North Vietnam.

This trick is effective now, but because of Kennedy's assassination, the Democratic Party has received widespread sympathy from American voters. Unless McCarthy kills Lyndon Johnson this time, otherwise, four years later, the United States will have endured four years of war and casualties. , McCarthy's toughness at this time may actually be a burden by then.

The Republican Party may choose candidates who have little presence in this election. As candidates for the next election, they will not choose a few candidates with particularly strong presence.

In recent times, McCarthy has established a tough persona in various southern states, which has indeed won the support of the local Dixie people. Maybe it can really allow the Republican Party to capture the southern base that has not been captured in decades. But there is still little hope of shaking up the Democratic advantage nationwide.

When McCarthy learned that the USS Card had been attacked, he once again expressed his desire for immediate retaliation at the rally and said that the current government was too weak. This speech aroused a chorus of approval.

McCarthy's move put a lot of pressure on Lyndon Johnson. Originally, he wanted to adopt a conservative attitude and only take action after the election. However, after McCarthy said this, as the sitting president, Lyndon Johnson had to react. At the same time, he said that the United States will take time to prepare for a tough counterattack, and he will never let go of countries that harm American soldiers.

The military represented by the Pentagon is naturally the toughest group of people. The chiefs of staff and their staff have mentioned the possibility of nuclear war on various occasions and expressed that they can accept the risk of nuclear war.

Lyndon Johnson heard this voice and asked angrily, "Is this the Pentagon's view, even if it means a nuclear war?"

Maxwell Taylor replied: "I doubt whether Hanoi has the strength to fight back."

"Before the Chinese poured into North Korea, didn't MacArthur say the same thing?" Lyndon Johnson said angrily. "MacArthur was more confident than you at the time. In any case, we can only consider sending ground troops after the election. To reinforce South Vietnam, the only option now is massive bombing."

Whether it is to expand the war or withdraw, it is not an easy decision to make. He is the president and is not as optimistic as the Pentagon. When did soldiers stop being optimistic?

"The news of the independence of French Guiana has finally made the Dutch determined." In the Cabinet Office No. 70, Whitehall, Alan Wilson took the document transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let out an inexplicable sigh. This made Dixon They were all very puzzled. Colonial independence was no longer news. Even the UK has had several rounds of talks with local forces in Yemen recently.

Why is it that such a supreme authority cares so much about Guyana? How did Dixon know? Alan Wilson just lamented that the colonies that plundered the wool of the European imperialist powers also became independent.

French Guiana is the launch site of the European Space Agency. Although the French are very dissatisfied with Guyana's wool harvesting behavior, they have never been able to make up their mind.

Paris has been debating whether to move the launch site to Guyana or keep the facility in Algeria, and now with the launch of the Galileo program, it seems that the discussion has come to an end.

The natural result is to retain the launch site in Algeria, then French Guiana is no longer important, and Paris will naturally find a way to make Guyana independent. France's behavior naturally made the Netherlands unable to sit still. Britain and France evacuated from the local area one after another. The Dutch were unwilling to continue to maintain their local rule and tried to find ways to get rid of the psoriasis.

For the Netherlands, Guyana's existence does not bring much benefit. The Dutch's attention is still on the island of Kalimantan in Southeast Asia and half of New Guinea.

These two islands make the Netherlands very hesitant. Should they give up or continue to retain them? The maintenance cost is indeed high, but it is not without benefits.

"If nothing else happens, both French and Dutch Guiana will become independent this year." Dixon didn't think much about it. "There are not many British territories in Latin America left, and the largest one is the Falklands."

"The Falklands can talk to Argentina calmly, and making some promises is actually not difficult." Alan Wilson said with a relaxed smile, "We can even promise that we will not solve the problem through military means. Times have changed, and countries should not always keep talking to each other. It is to use military means to solve the problem. Talk, everything can be discussed, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
