Chapter 1403 United Nations Resolution

"Judging from the Prime Minister's attitude, he does not reject the idea of ​​exchanging new equipment for an appropriate reduction in the size of the army."

Seeing that Marshal Charles's face turned from cloudy to cloudy, Alan Wilson signaled to calm down and continued, "The current 595,000 people are considered 600,000 soldiers. It is indeed still a bit high. Of course, I will try my best to stop the army. The disarmament is too large. Low-intensity conflicts will be replaced by soldiers from Malaya, the South Pacific, and Nepal, and military expenditures will be saved and the navy and air force will be increased. Of course, there are other ways."

Marshal Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief after promising that Whitehall would try its best to protect the interests of the military. However, the matter was not that simple, and the help was not at home but overseas.

Anyway, the pound area needs the military to maintain it. If the pound area collapses, will the UK still want to maintain a living standard on par with the United States? A one-third drop in the total economic volume would be considered trivial. No government can afford such a responsibility.

In fact, the situation in the UK can be regarded as a smaller version of the predicament of the United States in the 21st century. The United States does not dare to bear the consequences of economic recession. It is not far behind its competitors. What if the bubble explodes and becomes the second largest bubble? Wouldn't it be possible for the empire's loyal dogs to change their bosses in an instant?

The reason why the current situation in the UK is a smaller version is because the UK’s total output is very different from that of the US, and it is only commendable on a per capita basis. But even if the problem is not as big as that of the United States, no government dares to imagine an economic recession during its term.

Intervening in the Pakistani civil war is also a way to enhance the government's view of the importance of the military. Marshal Charles also agreed with this. The UK does not dare to do anything to the United States and the Soviet Union to interfere in the situation in South Asia. The Ministry of Defense can come up with twenty-four plans a day. .

"Then I'll leave first." Alan Wilson waved his hand. He still had to fulfill his father's responsibilities, such as educating his son, even though he was an illegitimate son.

My son, Charlotte, is of mixed race. She must be educated well to avoid the plight of the Ameriese group in the United States. The ABC group is the name for descendants of Chinese Americans.

The second generation of Chinese Americans often have Chinese parents who received orthodox traditional education, but they were already living in the United States when they were born.

The result is that they accept their parents' authority at home and obey paternalistic arrangements, but when they enter society, they find that the United States is incompatible with their parents' ideals. The second-generation Chinese have little connection with a certain big country, and the United States cannot integrate into it. It is embarrassing if they cannot rely on both sides.

However, the UK does not have this problem. There are not many local Chinese in the UK and they cannot be considered a group. It is still possible for him to educate one person.

Seeing that a certain big country was about to disappear from the list of enemies of the United States for a period of time, Alan Wilson also began to pay attention to his son's education, and decided to help his son make up for his education. He agreed that a country must first start with history. In this way, it is easier to inspire a sense of pride. When the time comes, it will not be embarrassing to say that our country is so great.

Xia Meng put on a new cheongsam and showed it in front of Alan Wilson, "Is it beautiful? I have always liked this material."

"Beautiful, but I have said many times that you dress beautifully, mainly because you are beautiful, and it has nothing to do with the fabric." Alan Wilson looked at it carefully and praised it solemnly.

Even if Anna puts on a cheongsam, or any traditional costume of any country, Alan Wilson will still say it's beautiful, but it has nothing to do with the style of the clothes, whatever a tank wears is a tank.

"Father, what you are talking about is different from what I learned." When Charlotte listened to Alan Wilson's introduction to the characteristics of each civilization, she asked, "Why did ancient Greece have higher mathematical achievements than other civilizations?"

"How do I know why those idle slave owners suddenly mutated their genes?" Alan Wilson answered simply, "I have never been to two thousand years ago. If I can go there, why don't I go to the pyramids?" In the era of construction, let’s see how it was built? My level is definitely better than your teacher. I can be considered a representative of Chinese and Western learning. Only when you have an understanding of different civilizations can you dare to make such comparisons.

"

This is his own son. If it were someone else's son, the supreme authority would probably demonstrate how Napoleon built the pyramid and lead someone else's son astray.

If someone else's son becomes a fool, doesn't that mean that his own son is smart? This is the essence of happy education.

It's all about teaching politics. Other people's sons can only use it when they drink too much and brag. His son must use it in the future. When he goes back, he doesn't even understand the customs of different places. Is that ridiculous?

Depending on the platform, the knowledge you learn may be useful or useless. His son has learned a lot of knowledge that people think is useless, and it will come in handy when the time comes. Maybe this is life, and sometimes things like this happen.

Even so, British education is conscientious enough. There are some things that cannot be solved by Whitehall. God knows how much effort he has put into slowly replacing different teaching materials from various parts of the UK. This is a systematic project, not only It requires time and energy, and most importantly, money. Pamela Mountbatten also helped out, conquering each house one by one.

Xia Meng held the cooked oysters and placed them in front of the supreme authority, expressing her encouragement for men to show their fatherly love. "Seeing how much you like Luoluo, I can't describe it."

"We are all from the same family, we don't speak the same language." Alan Wilson held the chopsticks skillfully. He didn't look like an Englishman at all in Xia Meng.

The order for Typhoon fighter jets was finally recognized by Harold Wilson through the joint efforts of Whitehall, the Ministry of Defense and the military. During a question in the House of Commons, as Prime Minister, he stated that the country would fully support the development of the military industry. Creating jobs while safeguarding Britain's broad interests around the world.

It all depends on how you say it. Controlling the defense budget can be said to be reducing the fiscal deficit and controlling unnecessary expenditures.

Increasing the defense budget can be said to be a resolute defense of Britain's national interests. It is understandable that a big and prosperous country buys oil, but a certain big country's purchase of oil is aiding evil.

The emergence of this batch of orders for a total of 235 Typhoon fighter jets has set a new order record for British military procurement. Britain's annual military expenditure is only 4 billion pounds. This order is already equivalent to a quarter of Britain's annual military expenditure. It can be seen from this that the increase in costs is exaggerated. Britain's military expenditure is one-fifth that of the United States, which has an annual military expenditure of nearly $80 billion.

However, as the world's first third-generation fighter jet to begin production, its role in the military field is huge. The order for the Typhoon fighter jet attracted the attention of many countries. Soon, various aviation powers were gearing up, exclaiming that the old imperialism was invincible. , on the one hand, they all took out their own ppts, and plans for various new generation fighter jets emerged one after another.

Marshal Charles is naturally the happiest person to see the Typhoon fighter jet enter service. As a manufacturer, Pamela Mountbatten is also radiant and feels much more energetic riding the rocket.

"I heard that this fighter jet has attracted the attention of Washington and Moscow. Is that true?" Pamela Mountbatten asked holding her husband's neck.

"Fake news!" Alan Wilson shook his head as if no one knows fighter jets better than me. "Even if it attracts attention, they won't say it. Third-rate tabloid reports are not worth responding to. When it comes to Paris and Bonn I am definitely shocked that I believe it. The United States and the Soviet Union will immediately accelerate their deployment plans."

However, what is certain is that the Typhoon fighter jets have entered service, which is good for Britain's status as an aviation power. It will make Britain shine this time. After all, it is a classic fighter jet from McDonnell Douglas.

As for the image of Typhoon, even people who don't understand aerodynamics will feel strange when they see it. If you understand it, it will feel even more powerful.

"Actually, I also want to know what the United States thinks." Alan Wilson's words were half-truth and half-false. In fact, what he wanted to say was what McDonnell Douglas thought. Does it feel familiar?

Although it is indeed plagiarism, everyone knows that the supreme authority Qingfeng Liangxiu never cares about what the world thinks of him. After all, he is a man who dares to sleep with the princess' sister-in-law, so he plagiarized it. What can you do?

On October 25, the United Nations held a meeting of great significance. After the last two countries, Tunisia and Honduras, made their speeches, it stands to reason that the next step should be "explanatory speeches."

Explanatory speeches allow representatives from each country to explain how they will vote and why they will vote this way before the official vote. In practice, this amounts to a final canvass.

The U.N. voted on a proposal by Yemen and Tanzania to return to the U.N., with U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. George Bush voting against it. This was used to show the firm position of the United States. However, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which had already learned from London that the United States was also preparing to jump ship, voted in favor together with the United Kingdom.

"Can the vote be postponed?" Seeing Australia, New Zealand and Canada jumping ship with the UK, Japanese representative Nakagawa was shocked and wanted to use a delaying tactic. Why is this different from what was promised? Just hide it from Japan.

No country in Europe opposed it, and Australia, New Zealand and Canada supported it, which set the tone for the entire vote. There was no doubt about the result.

The British ambassador to the United Nations conveyed the news back to London. Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Foreign Secretary Patrick said, "In fact, it is very obvious that none of the European countries objected."

"So what now?" asked Foreign Secretary Patrick, and then said, "The Cabinet Secretary knows the East very well. What is his opinion."

"Immediately upgrade the charge d'affaires to ambassador relationship." Harold Wilson replied, "Indeed, if we were not concerned about what the United States thinks, we would have done this long ago."

In the Office of the Cabinet Secretary in Whitehall, John Mansfield had just sat down when Alan Wilson said, "John, my colleagues are very optimistic about your work in Asia and have decided to include your name on the list of ambassadors to China. Of course, this It still needs cabinet approval, but I don’t think it’s a big problem.”
