"This matter needs to be carefully considered. I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet." Alan Wilson showed a cautious and courageous side. Although he is currently responsible for the reconstruction of London's East End, he has the space to meet Audrey Hepburn, but It's always good to be a little more prepared.
The difference from before is that he is now married. People like Hedy Lamar are easy to talk about, but it is too wishful thinking to think that Hepburn doesn't care.
"Oh, you are actually flinching? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe my eyes." Hedy Lamarr looked surprised, "It seems you really like this little actor?"
"There are some things that she can't understand yet." Alan Wilson stopped the topic and did not want to say any more.
These ladies with the same status as their wives, except for Greta Garbo, have all been married many times. Now we all know that there is no inevitable relationship between marriage and love. Greta Garbo is still a homebody who can stay away from home for many years!
Hepburn was still a young girl who had just entered the film industry, and she definitely still had a lot of thoughts on marriage issues.
Of course, Alan Wilson could have used the Malayan storming of the prisoner of war camp as an excuse to stabilize Hepburn first. But whether this excuse is reliable is still unknown.
As an overseas commissioner, it was quite normal for Alan Wilson to carry a pistol. This is also the standard issue in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, the Webley revolver.
The Webley revolver is most famous for its owners complaining that it cannot hit anyone.
There is a popular saying in the British Army: "If you can shoot a target at fifty yards with a damn Webley revolver, I guarantee you can shoot a target at eight hundred yards with a Lee-Enfield rifle."
This sentence is comparable to that of the MiG. No MiG fighter can fly to the middle of the Dnieper River.
Alan Wilson believed that this kind of sidearm could only be used to commit suicide. He found Lord Sheffield and asked him to help find a friend to remove the firing pin.
"Alan, you can definitely get a good gun when you work overseas!" Makins couldn't help but grin after seeing the Webley revolver. Obviously he also knew about this British Empire standard equipment with many flaws.
"God knows when we will be able to replace this pistol. I came to you to ask for your help to remove the firing pin." Alan Wilson said straight to the point, "Is this not going to be difficult for you?"
"It's not difficult at all,
I know several very experienced workers. "Makins agreed immediately, but said a little strangely, "It's just your request that I don't understand. If you don't like it, just don't use it. "
"Not having a robbery and having a gun don't have to be two different concepts, otherwise Britain would not have developed nuclear weapons." Alan Wilson shook his wine glass and said, "The Turing incident last time was also thanks to your help."
"You're welcome, let's help each other." Maxkins said with a smile, "By the way, the second ship will be launched in two days. For the current London citizens, it is a good occasion to boost morale."
"HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier? This is really good news!" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. If the problem is not big, when the coronation ceremony of Crown Prince Elizabeth is held, there will be two modern aircraft carriers in the review. A heavy-duty aircraft carrier with all the elements appeared at the ship review.
Alan Wilson is a materialist, but since the death of King George VI, there have been smog and storm surges in London. It is difficult not to think of the saying that when a country is about to perish, monsters will be born. Even the great Buddha of the Qing Dynasty can encounter some good news!
After a few drinks, the two parted ways. Alan Wilson and Turing met. Hedy Lamarr's frequency hopping patent was actually studied by Turing, and he asked about the feasibility of the progress.
The day working and evening working situation continues, after the London smog incident and the storm surge.
On March 1st, the launching ceremony of the Malta-class aircraft carrier, now officially named the second ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, has a very important symbolic significance.
By March 1953, these two heavy aircraft carriers, which had been under construction during the war, finally came off the slipway. Only at this time can we avoid the fate of stillbirth in history.
The No. 1 ship of the Midway-class aircraft carrier, the USS Midway, was in service in 1945. It has been galloping in the ocean for eight years now. The British aircraft carrier of the same class is only now belatedly arriving.
"It's good to have a good meal and you won't be late. It's good to come." Alan Wilson, who was not serious about anything, also found a good seat early, with a camera hanging around his neck, which showed how much he attaches importance to the hobby of photography.
We now have heavy aircraft carriers. To put it in perspective, we can’t fool people with the Harrier vertical takeoff and landing fighter. The British breakthrough in the field of vertical takeoff and landing is commendable, but if it weren’t for the fact that there are no heavy aircraft carriers, Hands, there is no need for a fighter with many problems like this to maintain face.
It’s not like the UK has no experience in manufacturing large fighter jets, and the engine problems that plague other countries don’t exist for the UK either. The United States is the only one in the world that can be picky about Britain's aviation engines. Even the Soviet Union is not qualified to say that British engines are not good.
Then the biggest reason for the launch of the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter is obvious. Britain did not follow up on heavy aircraft carriers after the war. It did not have a good platform and could not equip large carrier-based aircraft, so it could only get Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter jets to meet the demand.
After the war, carrier-based aircraft became larger and larger, and the aircraft carriers in the British hands were not tonnage enough. This was the reason why the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter appeared. Now that there are aircraft carriers that can accommodate large carrier-based aircraft, there is no need for the Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter jets.
Armed with a camera full of photos, Alan Wilson returned home loaded with food and spent the evening drinking and chatting with colleagues in Whitehall.
"Philby, does Washington have any reservations about our intelligence cooperation with the United States?" Alan Wilson, holding a wine glass, asked the rising star of MI6 in front of him.
"How do you say this? Allen!" Philby hesitated and said a little embarrassed, "We are all adults."
That’s right! The Five Eyes Alliance in this era is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface. The fundamental reason is still the same sentence, there are two gangs in one neighborhood, and one gang cannot have two talkers.
As long as Britain's strength has not been weakened to a certain extent, you must wear a helmet when going fishing.
"I don't know if the United States is interested in our aircraft carrier with catapults." Alan Wilson said indifferently, "There are so many changes in this class of aircraft carriers, and the Americans may be very interested."
"Due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States, we should not deceive the Americans, but if the Americans are interested, of course we can also provide certain assistance. I heard that the Americans are very interested in steam catapults." Philby said. He pointedly said, "Of course, it is normal for this new technology to have some problems. The United States also has enough financial resources to solve this problem."
"Philby, your evaluation of the financial strength of the United States is so admirable. I can't think of anything else that Americans can't solve." Alan Wilson raised his glass with a smile and added, "Except for the Korean War! "
"Even the Korean War!" Philby looked at me with an "I understand" look, and he laughed tacitly with Alan Wilson.
To be honest, Alan Wilson feels that it is not too much to credit him for being able to see the emergence of heavy aircraft carriers. The only unexpected factor in this world is himself. All good things that can change in Britain should be related to him.
But Alan Wilson also knows that this can only be regarded as the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. These two heavy aircraft carriers alone are not enough. The United States has Kitty Hawk and Nimitz behind it.
Even if the Nimitz class is beyond the capabilities of the British, it should still find a way to keep up with the Kitty Hawk class.
After the reception, Alan Wilson left and decided to celebrate on Hedy Lamarr, and the little brother was about to suffer again.
This fulfilling life of being busy during the day and busy at night is the driving force behind his pursuit of progress every day when he wakes up.
Kontsevo Villa is located in the suburbs of Moscow, not far from the Kremlin. It is equipped with the most advanced security system at the time and is guarded by two walls. One of the walls has a surveillance hole. The person responsible for the security of the villa is an experienced person. Soviet soldier.
The Kontsevo Villa was also the place that the top Soviet officials were most fascinated by. As long as they were summoned here by Stalin himself, it meant that they had already established a foothold in the power center of the Soviet Union.
After the war, Stalin became increasingly reluctant to stay in the Kremlin, preferring to live in this humble villa. Over time, he developed the habit of summoning leaders of other countries in his villa to discuss national affairs and analyze problems. Invitees would usually have dinner at the villa and then discuss with Stalin until the early hours of the next morning.
But on this night, the Soviet dignitaries who rushed from all over Moscow were summoned not by Stalin himself, but by the guards of Kontsevo Villa who reported that Stalin himself fell into a coma.
The doctors on standby at the Kontsevo Villa had already begun rescuing Stalin, who was vomiting blood and was unconscious. Not long after, Malenkov, Beria, Khrushchev and Molotov had all arrived.
The doctor in the villa was still rescuing Stalin, but the atmosphere here became awkward. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to say something, but found that everyone had almost nothing to say when Stalin was not around.
Soon this mentality appeared in everyone's thoughts. If Stalin could not be saved, everyone's relationship would usher in a round of changes. As soon as this thought appeared, it immediately took root in the hearts of everyone present. It can no longer be erased.
