Chapter 798 Visit to Washington

Chapter 793 Visit to Washington

"Please sit down!" Alan Wilson, who went upstairs, made a gesture of invitation and asked Su Yang to sit down. He took two cups and poured them into the water channel. "Don't blame the lack of care. You saw it too, Pam. La is talking about something."

Su Yang sat upright, his palm on the cup, waiting for the next step. The reason why he came to the door today was completely entrusted by someone, regarding the conflict between a friend and the British military.

"I will pay attention to the coca matter." Alan Wilson took a sip of water and calmly promised, "When I know who it is, I will give him an explanation. I will definitely satisfy him."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhongtang." Su Yang put down his worries upon hearing this, "Actually, I shouldn't have troubled Mr. Zhongtang, because a British person is involved, and it will definitely be troublesome for you to deal with it."

"Trouble?" Alan Wilson's face was very exciting, as if he wanted to laugh out loud but couldn't. "Do you think that out of consideration for a country, I would side with the British when encountering this kind of thing?" , let alone an officer of the British army?”

Su Yang nodded, his attitude was self-evident, that's what he thought. Finding Alan Wilson was just a try, and he didn't think there would be any results.

"If Coca was an ordinary person, then I might just say a few words of comfort. The choice between a colonial subject and an Englishman is not difficult at all. But his business is doing pretty well, then It’s different.”

Alan Wilson laughed and said, "If there is any British person who disrespects Ali Khan, there is no need for Lord Ali Khan to come to me. I will take the initiative to find him. A noble monarch like Ali Khan, let alone the British If someone conflicts with him, even if he falls in love with a British girl, I will help him get her. Is there anything difficult to understand about this?"

These are considerations from different angles. When standing on the side of the British, they consider that blood is thicker than water. When standing in front of the Chinese, it is called taking the overall situation into consideration. You can stand on either side, but the coca business is doing very well. Alan Wilson is also The issue must be considered from a class perspective.

After all, the colonial environment was special, and Britain needed to rely on trustworthy groups to help Britain maintain colonial stability. For the benefit of the entire British Empire, some British people with little background should make sacrifices when they meet Chinese businessmen who are starting to become big.

This is completely reasonable, and if Alan Wilson finds out that the British soldier who got Coca into the hospital has no background, he can even give Coca a chance to kill him.

Of course, Coca must leave evidence and put it with Alan Wilson, so as to prove his unlimited loyalty to the British Empire.

Facing Su Yang's expression of gratitude, Alan Wilson waved his hands indifferently and said, "I hope that one day, when faced with similar choices, you and your successful businessman friends can make the same decision as me. Choice. The Soviets were right. Everyone has a price. Some people's lives are not worth mentioning. We are not the kind of people who are not worth mentioning in terms of value, right?"

Alan Wilson hinted,

Compradors like Su Yang are the same kind of people as themselves, not the so-called Chinese group. Billionaires of different nationalities are inherently more similar to each other than rich and poor people of the same nationality. He didn't think he was wrong. Even if he only served Su Yang a glass of water now, it would still be the same kind.

Then he sent Su Yang downstairs, and by the way he saw his wife downstairs negotiating terms in a slightly forceful manner. If it were someone else, that would be a big deal, but if it were his wife? When it's done right, that's how it should be done.

"I want to invest in the companies of the four major families. They are willing to sell the shares at half price, but this is mutual. They have to exchange shareholdings." After Pamela Mountbatten finished talking, she came up quietly and saw her husband reading the telegram. Guzi asked, "Dear, what do you think?"

"The combined assets of the four of them are less than 200 million pounds, right?" Alan Wilson replied in a multi-faceted manner. "The Mountbatten Group's assets last year exceeded 350 million pounds. Don't they feel that they are at a disadvantage? If not I think it would be enough to exchange a small amount of shares. Several of them are family businesses, and a small shareholding cannot change the decision. We will suffer a loss by exchanging a large number of shares."

"I'll call someone from the accounting firm tomorrow to calculate the properties of several companies." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, she would not suffer a loss.

Alan Wilson nodded and took the telegraph to report, "Father may visit the United States in the near future and want to test whether the United States can transfer nuclear submarine technology."

"Do you think it can be successful?" Pamela Mountbatten glanced at the telegram. She still believed in her husband's judgment.

"How do I know?" Alan Wilson said without thinking, "But I think it mainly depends on how far the domestic submarines are."

When he was in the British-occupied area, he focused on searching for a group of German submarine talents. He didn't know which shipyard these people were working for now. He was not in the country, so it was difficult to inquire about these things.

"Let's see what technology we can replace it with. Steam catapults are not enough. If blue-light missiles can make progress, using blue-light missiles to talk to the Americans is also a good choice."

Alan Wilson is also a little helpless. Some things are easy to talk about, but it is not the same when it comes to practice.

That requires money, and having money is only one of the basic conditions. There is no need to rush. If the forced launch fails, Britain is not the Soviet Union and does not have as strong a resistance as the Soviet Union.

He decided to help his father-in-law and talk about the Indian issue. India will hold the Bandung Conference in three months. If Mountbatten visits the United States before then, he might talk about this matter. , Mountbatten was the last British-Indian Governor-General, and he might be asked about it when he visits the United States.

"The one-sided remarks about relying on nuclear weapons to solve problems are just absurd conjectures issued by some cabinet ministers who have no idea what their profession is. Nuclear weapons can never replace conventional weapons. Is it possible that Britain will use nuclear weapons to fight against pro-Soviet guerrillas? Is it a threat? The role of nuclear weapons in the colonies is to contain the enemy's large-scale attacks on the colonies. In the face of infiltration forces, a strong garrison is needed to deal with it. In view of this..."

Mountbatten looked at the telegram sent from Kuala Lumpur, thinking about when to leave for Washington. He wrote down the names of generals who had good personal relations with the US military during the World War to see if it would be useful by then. Of course, there were also McCarthy had the connections of his son-in-law, completed a trip to Japan, and was praised by the Republican Party.

"Are you reading Allen's telegram again?" Edwina glanced at the contents of the telegram in her husband's hand and said with a hint of ridicule: "A long time ago, I remember that you seemed to have been setting up obstacles for Pamela's marriage."

"I don't deny this either. In fact, I finally agreed to their marriage because it was impossible for my title to be inherited by Pamela. Having a husband who loves her and takes care of her finally made me agree to their marriage."

Mountbatten also did not hide it from his wife. If Alan Wilson had feelings for his eldest daughter Patricia, he would never compromise. He was not enlightened to that point.

"Looking at it now, the relationship between the two is very stable." Edwina agreed very much. "It doesn't matter whether you are a noble or not. There are always some people who can break through this boundary."

There is not just one example. The marriage of Edwina and Mountbatten was also a standard combination of interests. With role models in mind, the youngest daughter insists on marrying her son-in-law, which is also the inheritance of the family tradition.

"I want to visit the United States, you come with me." Mountbatten touched his wife's face and invited her.

"Okay!" Edwina nodded with a smile. She knew that this visit would not be easy and her husband needed someone to take care of him.

Mountbatten was no stranger to the United States because he had personally participated in the Anglo-American Quebec Conference.

When discussing Operation Overlord, Mountbatten once spoke in the name of an amphibious warfare expert, but in fact he was bargaining with the United States on behalf of the British government, but he had a military identity.

At that time, Mountbatten also met US President Roosevelt and established a good personal relationship with Roosevelt's son.

During the meeting, as a condition for the United States to take the lead in Operation Overlord, the British General Alexander became the Supreme Commander of the Mediterranean Theater, while Mountbatten became the Supreme Commander of the newly established Allied Southeast Asia Theater.

Roosevelt readily agreed to Churchill's nomination of the two British generals, especially Mountbatten. Among the senior British generals, Roosevelt liked Mountbatten the most.

Now that I think about it, this happened twelve years ago, and the then US President Roosevelt had died of illness a long time ago. Now Churchill has retired from politics, and Eisenhower, who had maintained correspondence during the war, has become the President of the United States.

Alan Wilson's telegram also stated that the visit should take advantage of President Eisenhower's term.

In his eyes, the Republican Party is always easier to get in touch with. There is a person who also expressed a similar view and prefers the Republican Party.

Eisenhower was still a soldier, and he and Mountbatten were the same type of soldiers, so they always had something in common. It is easier to contact than the Kennedy in the future. If Kennedy had been easy to contact, his skull would not fly out in the end.

Mountbatten had the support of his wife, and with the approval of the cabinet, Mountbatten formed a British military delegation to officially begin a visit to the United States. In fact, he had only taken office for a week.

Such an impatient trip would not have been possible without the support of Prime Minister Attlee. Attlee also hoped that Mountbatten could bring the relationship between Britain and the United States to a further level. Washington did not have any objections to Britain's steadfast stand-alone action during the Korean War.

Before the visit, Mountbatten also learned specifically about the progress of the British nuclear submarine project, so that he could understand each other when communicating with the United States. In this way, the Comet passenger plane fully loaded with the British military delegation crossed the Atlantic and landed in Washington.

After squinting for a while, I squinted too much, and it was too much before twelve o'clock.
