Chapter 872 The Impressive Navy
Regarding the fact that the win has been won, it is not difficult to ask the major sultans to help support it. Ali Khan conveyed news from another country. This year is also a new measure in India's year of change.
Just like Malaya's year of change, India's great man Nehru, after several years of waiting, redrawn the boundaries of India's states at the beginning of this year, and it seemed like nothing.
The only change was that after the boundaries of Indian states were redrawn, the original political structure of the princely states was completely broken up. The original ruling status of the princes of the major kingdoms was broken up with this move, and their influence was greatly reduced.
In essence, weren't the sultans of Malaya much better off than the princes of the Indian princes? Ali Khan came forward to ask the Sultans to support the colonial government and said something like winning money. This was the purpose.
Every country has its own affairs, and things like what Bokina revealed are also very important, "The federal government is preparing a ban on the German Communist Party, and it will definitely be promulgated this year."
"Oh?" Alan Wilson's hand touching Anna's belly stopped for a moment, which aroused the little dragoon's dissatisfaction.
"Sorry." Apologizing to Anna who looked unhappy, Alan Wilson said to Pokina, "Actually, this is a matter of time. Germany is so important. How can we let the pro-Soviet forces have an influence?" Strength. I heard that there are many people in the German Communist Party and they should be eradicated."
"There are probably less than 90,000 party members." Pokina seemed to be talking about something that was not expected to be irrelevant. "What do you think?"
"I think about it, if there is a strict ban, it will easily be caught by the Soviet Union. I think even if this ban is promulgated, there will be other actions in the future. For example, the old pro-Soviet political parties will be banned and a new German Communist Party will be established, but It’s completely different from the original one,” Alan Wilson thought as he thought.
Although democracy is just for fun, being on the front line, the free world should not be so rough. There must be other backup means. In fact, this is the case. In the current international political environment, the federal government has prepared relevant bans for several years. In the domestic political environment, the nascent federal government was dominated by a political and judicial apparatus based on personnel from the Third Reich era. Repression of the left was already widespread and intensified with the ban on the KPD.
This ban has remained in effect since then, and instead, a new communist party was approved, the DKP.
After the replacement of the old with the new is completed, this matter is considered to have come to an end. Alan Wilson didn't want to hide anything. Now that he knew, all the dirty things during the period should be recorded. He never had too many things to catch.
"You are really careful." Anna, who was dribbling the ball, glanced at the captive's father and praised with admiration, "Sure enough, only people like you can understand the hypocrisy of a capitalist country."
"Don't make trouble, this is also the choice of the two of you." Alan Wilson nibbled on Anna's red lips and said nonchalantly, "We are in a war, and it is okay to use such tricks. I believe that even Moscow , can also understand.”
This is war, and the proletariat must be killed in order to win the final victory. Alan Wilson feels that this is his duty. Not to mention the Communist Party of Germany, what about the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of Indonesia? They have all been liquidated and arrested. There is nothing new under the sun, just get used to it.
"Where's your wife, has she been staying in London?" Bokina didn't want to continue this topic, and now she started to be heart-wrenching, "How can you feel relieved when a woman is not around?"
"We are in contact every day. She will indeed be back soon, but before that she has to go to New Delhi first." Alan Wilson stretched. He was actually accompanying Mountbatten on a visit to India, but considering that this pair of He still couldn't reveal his sister's criminal record and what she was going to do.
Compared with the ban imposed by the German Communist Party, the Federal Republic of Germany's official announcement to rebuild its air force is a small problem.
The relevant discussion is that if there is intra-European cooperation one day, I hope the two sisters can help.
As Malaya begins a year of change,
Mountbatten, who had been away from New Delhi for many years, went to this new and exciting country this time. She was accompanied by her daughter and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The main purpose of this rhetorical question is to talk about the issue of dumping goods. To put it more directly, the UK does not want to continue to serve the Titan-class. Is India interested in being a successor? The Titan-class aircraft carrier has canceled the armor protection on the Tejas class. In the ship type It's almost a scaled down and simplified version of the Brilliant Class. In order to save time and cost, its power system directly adopts the configuration of a cruiser, resulting in a maximum speed of only 25 knots, which can barely keep up with the fast fleet.
It was the intention of the Admiralty and Mountbatten himself to install a steam catapult and sell it to India for nine million pounds. Of course, carrier-based aircraft are also calculated separately to contribute to India's impressive power.
This move can also show dad's love and maintain the traditional influence in India. It can even be said to be a win-win situation.
Pamela Mountbatten, who came with her, wanted to take a look at the biopharmaceutical industry operating in India.
My wife hasn’t arrived yet, but the planning and design staff who have returned to China this time have already arrived in Kuala Lumpur, ready to benefit society in Malaya and do their part to light up this Asian beacon.
Nehru was very happy with Mountbatten's arrival. Although Mountbatten's son-in-law was not a thing, it did not damage the personal relationship between the two of them. He was also very interested in Mountbatten's idea of selling the aircraft carrier.
Big countries need aircraft carriers, and Nehru thought so too. He couldn't afford them in the United States, but the Soviet Union couldn't afford them. The United Kingdom, which had already done some giant sales business, was the only choice.
Just after the world war ended, Britain had already started selling aircraft carriers, but it was only for countries with the same culture and race like Australia and Canada. Now it is finally India's turn. Nehru, who knew that India could not yet build aircraft carriers, hoped to contribute to the construction of the Indian Navy and make the Indian Navy more impressive.
"This place is far worse than Malaya." Princess Margaret has a very bad impression of India. She can only see the city center. Once you get farther away, you will immediately see intolerable scenes. It seems that the air is not clean. .
"Although the place is a little different, for me, there are many good memories." Pamela Mountbatten smiled and fell into the memories, where she met her true love.
Although my husband is not perfect, some minor flaws are completely negligible compared with his strengths. To this day, Pamela Mountbatten also believes that Alan Wilson is her most suitable life partner in this world.
While Pamela Mountbatten was reminiscing about the good memories of the past, Mountbatten was in the former residence of the Governor-General of British India, talking about a win-win situation with the current owner, starting with personal relations, and then showing that India was already a powerful and powerful country, and then turning to sales.
Nine million pounds, coupled with the latest steam catapult, is not a problem for India now, at least General Mountbatten thinks so, and things are not smooth sailing.
Nehru also wanted Britain to use its influence to see if it could talk to Portugal about Goa.
"Oh, I really can't help it. The situation in Europe is still very complicated." General Mountbatten spread his hands and said helplessly, "What position does Britain take to persuade Portugal? Britain itself still has many managed colonies. With this premise, It is unjustifiable to ask Portugal to abandon Goa. As for the matter of Goa, Portugal and India can handle it themselves, and no other country can interfere. I am really sorry."
Although Mountbatten was not a civil servant, his deep communication skills made it impossible for Nehru to dig holes. He would rather the business not be done than he could not give Nehru any commitment on the Goa issue. There were still many places where Portugal could help. As for the UK.
Even so, Nehru suppressed the minor unpleasantness due to the consideration of relations between Britain and India. The fundamental reason is that Britain still looks very powerful, at least currently more powerful than India.
A week after Mountbatten arrived in New Delhi, Nehru approved the arms sales contract for the Titan-class.
The achievement of this arms sale has long been foreshadowed, and its roots can even be traced back to the time when British India was still under the rule. Mountbatten, who was the Governor-General of British India at that time, once talked to Nehru about the importance of the navy and sea power. Expressing that India and the United States have similar geographical environments, Nehru learned about the uniqueness of aircraft carriers as "floating airports" and the concept of aircraft carrier battle groups. Mountbatten said at that time that it would make India a naval force that cannot be ignored in the Indian Ocean.
It can be said that Mountbatten had laid the groundwork nearly ten years ago, and today it has finally come to fruition.
This is why, before the cabinet had doubts about the number of new aircraft carriers to be built, Mountbatten promised the cabinet that he would sell the Titan class to make up for the shortfall in funding.
It was not just after the New Year that Mountbatten couldn't wait to go on a trip and came to India to promote the Giant class, all in order to avoid setbacks in the new shipbuilding plan.
When the arms sales contract was signed, Mountbatten breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he was absolutely worthy of the position of First Sea Lord and had done his best for the development of the Royal Navy.
On the one hand, the British Empire can sell its surplus warships after the end of World War II to India, and on the other hand, it can make the future Indian Navy inseparable from the British help in the maintenance and support of large ships. No matter how you look at it, it is a huge deal. Good deal.
What Mountbatten sold was the Giant-class aircraft carrier that had been stopped since the end of the war. It was more than 75% complete. After India purchased it, Britain would also install additional equipment including a beveled deck, a steam catapult and a more complete The ship island.
Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, Britain's sale is far from over. India is not the first nor the last.
