Chapter 873 Good News From the Soviet Union
Nine million pounds is not cheap at the cost of a Titan-class aircraft carrier, but the application of new technologies such as steam catapults and angled decks must also be considered. When the UK sells weapons, it may charge high prices, but it will not compromise on quality.
This alone is so much higher than the two superpowers who have no moral ethics. The Soviet monkey version of weapons is world-famous, and American weapons are famous for their high price and low configuration. If a country encounters a military power like the United Kingdom that is clearing its inventory, it should quickly take action.
India may not be clear about major political strategies, but it has always had a keen sense of smell on this issue. It knows that there may not be such a store after this village. Because of Mountbatten's visit, New Delhi hit it off and reached an arms sales contract.
Mountbatten returned with a full load and sold the unfinished aircraft carrier hanging on the slipway. Nehru was also very happy. India will become the only country in Asia to master aircraft carriers, not to mention Malaya, which is a British colony and essentially a British military force. India is the first.
At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, two beautiful figures walked out of the escort. The dazzling image certainly belonged to the richest woman in the UK and Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Dynasty.
Alan Wilson was waiting in front of the passage, and when he saw his wife and sister-in-law, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Welcome my wife and Her Royal Highness the Princess to faithful Kuala Lumpur."
"Speaking of strange words." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes flashed, and she said to her sinister husband, "Have you met those designers? Is it useful?"
Pamela Mountbatten stayed briefly in India with her father, but the assembled designers and teachers were already a step ahead.
"I have already met with them and talked about urban construction and education industry support. It cannot be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but it can also be said that they had a great conversation, and the treatment has been agreed upon. They have also been introduced to local elites, and public opinion feedback Pretty good.”
Alan Wilson took the initiative to help his wife hold the suitcase and led them to the waiting car.
“Speaking of urban construction, I also have an idea to build a building in Kuching and Kuala Lumpur at the same time, far opposite each other in East Malaysia and West Malaysia respectively. As a landmark building in the Malayan colony, what do you think?”
As the car drove smoothly, Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband in the front passenger seat.
"Of course I don't have a problem, as long as you think it's okay, dear, as we all know, I can't even afford the glass of a building, what's your name?" Alan Wilson complained about himself, his words full of blood and tears of capitalism.
"Mountbatten Building." Pamela Mountbatten looked through the car window at some billboards beside the road.
On these giant billboards, there are images of glamorous beauties in the city, accompanied by slogans to cheer for city construction. It doesn't matter if it's just that, but the images of these women are too famous, and they are all photos of well-known actresses.
"If you use these photos indiscriminately, don't let people sue you. Americans pay great attention to these things." Pamela Mountbatten withdrew her gaze and reminded insinuatingly.
"It's not a random use. They came to Malaya for vacation. I met these people and paid them to shoot some advertisements. It was regarded as advertising for urban construction. Ms. Vivien Leigh lives in Xiangjiang and she helped to connect them."
Alan Wilson turned back and said with a clear conscience, "Actually, in terms of image, I should look for people like Hepburn, Taylor, and Monroe, but they are popular right now, so it will probably cost a lot of money."
"That's true." Princess Margaret started to help, and then secretly said, "I guess you have no interest in messing around with these old women."
"Margaret, what are you talking about?" Pamela Mountbatten scolded the princess with a cold face. Tell her not to talk nonsense and provoke her father's feelings on this occasion.
"It's okay, Her Royal Highness the Princess has an extraordinary status after all." Alan Wilson didn't mind and tried to smooth things over.
When they returned to their residence, Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband busy and busy, as if he was full of energy. Pamela Mountbatten felt warm in her heart, "Don't be so attentive.
They are all an old married couple. "
"How old are you? You are an old couple." Alan Wilson prepared the food diligently and said without looking back, "I don't like it if others have to get old before they get old."
The food is very simple. The food in Europe is not complicated at all. It does not emphasize flour and rice like in Asia and Africa, but mainly pasta. This is exactly in line with the taste of Elu Wilson. In his previous life, he suffered from gastrointestinal problems. I tend to eat pasta. It is not impossible to eat rice, but I can only eat soft rice.
Pamela Mountbatten immediately showed signs of pregnancy. She suppressed her excitement and said, "I don't know if you have done anything good recently to make you so motivated."
"The Soviet Union held a congress, which brought important benefits." Alan Wilson showed an expression that my wife is smart. He brought the cooked pasta and looked at his wife who was eating slowly and said, "Now, we can Don’t worry about the Soviets subverting the free world.”
"Oh? It's rare for you to look like this." Pamela Mountbatten enjoyed her husband's craftsmanship and asked vaguely curiously, "What happened? Have you got the news?"
"I am in the civil service system, so I can be considered a high-level person." Alan Wilson boasted at first, and then said mysteriously, "This time the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union left extraordinary news. I have submitted a report to analyze this. Of course, I also communicated our opinions with my friend McCarthy."
There is nothing to hide from his wife. At the just-convened 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev pointed out: "Since some European and Asian countries have appeared on the world stage that have declared non-participation in groups and alliances as their foreign policy principles, the power of peace has greatly increased. The ground is strengthened." Therefore, "a vast peaceful region has emerged on the international stage, including peace-loving socialist and non-socialist countries in Europe. This region covers a very broad area, with a population of nearly 1.5 billion residents, accounting for the majority of the global population."
Khrushchev also put forward the theory of détente, softening the confrontational situation caused by the establishment of the Warsaw Pact last year.
Of course, this is not the main point. At least for the free world, there are more important things. The meeting mainly criticized Stalin’s personality cult, completely rejected all the theories of Stalin when he was in power, and pointed out the mistakes of Stalinism.
This part is good for the free world. Since the war, the free world has been worried about being subverted by the Soviet Union. While this hope is better than nothing, it is certainly a possibility.
Khrushchev's change this time makes this possibility even slimmer.
Of course, Alan Wilson knew that this meeting did not severely damage the pro-Soviet forces in Western Europe as some people said. In fact, the parties in Western Europe still had considerable strength for a long time. It was not because Stalin was imprisoned. Criticism will lead to the rapid disappearance of influence.
Parties in Western Europe easily accepted Khrushchev's statement, saying that although there were mistakes in practice, the concept was not problematic and was still good.
The reason is simple. Stalin's brand has fallen, but the Soviet Union is still there. The Soviet Union was the first country to implement a new system. As long as this country exists, there will be no shortage of people singing its praises.
But Alan Wilson was willing, as some countries did, to overestimate the significance of the Bandung Conference and make Whitehall think it was a huge failure for the Soviet Union.
At this moment, Alan Wilson's telegram has arrived in Whitehall. The main content is to exert influence on Indonesia through public opinion and curb the influence of the Indonesian Communist Party. Among the much longer secondary content, there is the Twentieth Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Content.
"The possibility in the next one or two years is that the pro-Soviet forces in Western Europe will enter a period of chaos. Seizing this opportunity may fundamentally curb the possibility of subversion of the free world and manipulate public opinion to build a psychological defense line for citizens. . Let the Socialist International replace Soviet ideas and form a shield."
Of course, the above content is limited to Europe. In other places, even food is a problem. Those parties in the Second International that provide welfare must have Mao's influence if they want to provide welfare and ease conflicts.
Alan Wilson asked the United States to provide welfare to all of Asia. Can Americans afford it? Even Indonesia is a country that the Americans cannot afford to publish. This report, in which Britain has won again, is simply discussing security issues in Europe.
Similarly, McCarthy's telegram from an old friend had the same content, but a completely different tone. Similar to the telegram sent to Whitehall, it was because he heard about Martin Luther King's protest that McCarthy considered whether to take the appeasement route and use welfare payments to quell the anger of black people.
How is this possible? Although the Republican Party has been more progressive than the Democratic Party so far, it has always passively approved of black people. McCarthy is also deeply influenced by the four-color threat. He believes that black people are the weak link in the United States' leadership of the world, and provides welfare to these people. ?
The only effect of this report from an old friend was to make McKinsey believe that the black movement in the United States might be related to the Soviet Union, which strengthened McCarthy's determination to stir up trouble.
Friends in London and Washington were thinking hard. After Alan Wilson lit the fire, he stayed with his wife for a while and received the four major families including the Swire Group and Jardine Matheson Group who came to Malaya. They spent several months looking for Manpower, this time we can officially start construction and start the city construction in Malaya.
"Kuala Lumpur will be left to you." Pamela Mountbatten said to several group representatives who came to Kuala Lumpur, "I hope you can help my husband build this place well."
"Actually, urban construction in Xiangjiang is a matter of course sooner or later. If you finish it well here, you will have the experience to do it when you return to Xiangjiang. I have already communicated with the Hong Kong Governor." Alan Wilson also opened his mouth to express his welcome, "Then, let's do it Thank you for your hard work.”
