Chapter 894 Establishment of British Forces in Australia

"Alan, I'm so happy to see you." Turing was also excited to see an acquaintance from Australia and took the initiative to say hello, "Why are you here? I remember you said you were working as a commissioner in the colony."

"Well, the Malayan colony is actually no stranger to Australia because of business relationships." Alan Wilson explained why he mentioned this, "I happen to be responsible for some of the work at the launch site."

Turing nodded, introduced each other behind him, and then said, "This is my team. As you know, the rocket launch mission involves huge computing power, and we may not be able to transport the equipment by air. We can only By sea, computers are not small items.”

"It's really not a small object." When Alan Wilson thought about the size of computers in this era, he knew that Turing was right. He was also very curious about the computer that Turing brought. After all, this is a famous figure in history. Maybe he can expect one time.

"Alan, you guys know each other." Harold Wilson happened to see this scene and came over to talk and introduce himself.

"The minister responsible for space, Harold Wilson MP, is a cornerstone of the space industry."

The stakes are high and Alan Wilson doesn't mind wearing a high hat at this time, it's all for the greater good.

Anyway, Harold Wilson was leaving soon, the day after Turing arrived.

"Hello, dear minister." Turing had obviously changed a bit from his dull appearance.

It may be that after encountering an accident and being fished out by Alan Wilson, he understood the importance of personal relationships. Turing has now made considerable changes in the way he treats people.

The previous Turing would never have been able to greet Harold Wilson as smoothly as he does now.

Alan Wilson introduced Turing's achievements during World War II and his authority in the current field.

Harold Wilson was very impressed by this and said, "As mentioned, this large-scale project will serve many industries and ultimately generate huge economic and social value."

"Minister, your observation is very keen." Alan Wilson recognized it with a face, "The promotion and application of space technology and its products in various fields of the national economy will profoundly change our society. It will ultimately produce social and economic benefits. "

At least in the early days of the space race, the industrial changes brought about were quite huge. As for the Star Wars stage, the United States and the Soviet Union were obviously obsessed with it at that stage. This is not to say that the space race did not promote society, but it was not as big. It is also true that the investment of the two countries has become increasingly huge.

Even if the Red Star War and Star Wars do not continue due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they can only satisfy the taste of military enthusiasts. Let’s see if the U.S. national missile defense system is stronger, or the Soviet aerospace nuclear strike including combat space stations is more sharp.

However, from Alan Wilson's point of view, it would definitely not work if it was based on defense. The background of Star Wars was the premise that the Soviet Union had stronger nuclear attack power and penetration capabilities. The United States was afraid that the nuclear balance would be disrupted and the plan was formulated.

As a more offensive plan, the Soviet Union's Red Star War must be stronger. History has proven many times that offensive weapons develop significantly faster than defensive means. The long evolutionary history of the earth has proved that stacking armor is a dead end.

The stage where two lunatic countries can proceed is still far away from now. Alan Wilson does not need to think that far, but for Turing, who deciphered the existence of Germany's so-called undecipherable charade machine during the World War, he still expects a miracle to happen.

The conditions now are much better than before. Turing can calculate all the data of the space program without any distractions.

If Turing could do this, it would have saved the space program a lot of energy.

"Turing?" When Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband coming back to attack this man, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. She suddenly stepped forward and sniffed him with her nose. After a long time, she said, "He has made mistakes. You should be careful."

Turing was arrested because of orientation issues.

Pamela Mountbatten already knew about this. She was a little worried about someone leading a team to Australia. Don't let this person lead her husband astray.

Alan Wilson looked helpless, looked at his wife's suspicion and swore, "Have you not experienced who I am?"

"Even if you are a man, you should always protect yourself." Pamela Mountbatten warned without changing her original intention. "It is more dangerous for you to come into contact with him than to come into contact with Marilyn Monroe."

Been taught a lesson! When Alan Wilson saw his wife with such an expression, he decisively bowed his head and gave in. Reasoning was the next best thing, and he should have realized this a long time ago.

Of course, the wife's worries are not unreasonable. For Turing's group, the discriminatory mentality of most people, to be honest, is open and consistent, and is not dependent on anyone's will.

Is this fair? That is of course unfair, but this is the way this society is. You can get by with political correctness when there are no setbacks. Once the signs of unrest appear, all political correctness will result in more violent retaliation.

In addition to stripping away political correctness, this requires personal struggle to solve the problem.

Just like Turing is now trying to contact politicians, only in this way can he avoid the recurrence of the old incident of being arrested by the police.

The next morning, he and Turing appeared at the same time, this time to send Harold Wilson on the plane, and returned to London to submit a draft space plan, including dual-use military and civilian, economic value and social value prospects, all kinds of things. Contents, filling the briefcase he carries with him.

"The space program requires huge computing power, it's up to you." Waiting for the Comet passenger plane to take off, Alan Wilson turned to look at Turing and chatted and laughed. Of course Turing responded with a smile and said he would try his best.

This scene made Pamela Mountbatten, who drove over but did not get out of the car, feel nervous.

"I am a scientific researcher, and I am willing to face difficulties one by one. I am just waiting for the large computer shipped by sea to arrive." Turing said with a solemn promise, "I hope I can still contribute to the British national strategy."

Alan Wilson certainly wanted this, and he even hoped that Turing could create a modest miracle for Britain despite the overwhelming advantages of the United States and the Soviet Union.

After a long flight, Harold Wilson brought back the most logical and hierarchical space plan in this era. This space plan was formulated by Alan Wilson with reference to the stages of the space race.

Behind every part is the accumulation of countless manpower and material resources, and the sky full of fireworks.

Compared with the heavy price behind this plan, the fireworks set off by the blue-light missile explosion in the sky, that is, Tu Yile, are nothing.

This space program has also been highly praised by the Royal Space Society and the Interstellar Society. At this time, in the cabinet, Prime Minister Attlee was discussing matters related to this space race.

"The rocket plan Harold brought back is the crystallization of the sweat and wisdom of the British Empire's aerospace field." After saying the words that made the colonial commissioner sneeze, Prime Minister Attlee said, "I have discussed with the Minister of Defense, Earl Alexander, Given Australia's attitude, and the importance of the space program. There is an idea to implement."

"Financial appropriation is needed again?" Finance Minister Gaitske felt nervous. What the Minister of Defense likes to do most is to allocate funds, but as the Finance Minister, he is just the opposite.

"Well, it happened not to be the case this time." Prime Minister Attlee was almost interrupted by Gaitske's shot. He looked at the unfriendly Foreign Secretary Morrison and said, "It does have something to do with the diplomatic field. .”

At this point, Prime Minister Attlee no longer cares. Australia's own military strength is not strong, and the Woomera launch site is in Australia. The space program is such an important moment for the current world. In order to ensure the security of the Womera launch site and prevent espionage from hostile camps and suspicious allies, the UK needs to increase its investment. This investment is not just funding.

It may be difficult for Australia to be responsible for the safety of the Woomera launch site. To this end, Attlee put forward his own opinion in the cabinet to establish a British military station in Australia, specifically responsible for protecting the security of the Woomera launch site.

"This idea is understandable, and I believe that Prime Minister Menzies will never object." Although Foreign Secretary Morrison has a complicated relationship with the Prime Minister, he will never oppose it for the sake of opposition at this time.

The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary quickly reached a consensus on the establishment of British troops stationed in Australia. As for the idea of ​​Australia, they did not stay in their minds for even a second.

What remains is the question of how to form the British Army in Australia. There are 800,000 active-duty British troops, mainly divided into three parts: domestic, European and colonial garrisons. In terms of combat effectiveness, the British Army in Germany is of course the most powerful. But facing the Soviet troops stationed in Germany, they could not move.

It is not an easy task to move around within the scope of 800,000 British troops. After all, the size of the British Empire is still very large compared with the current military strength.

"After the independence of Sudan, some of the British troops originally stationed in Sudan were withdrawn to South Sudan, and some were replenished to the Middle East Joint Operations Command. Now Nigeria is calling for the establishment of an autonomous territory, and we can use this to withdraw part of the troops stationed in British West Africa. Add The Upper Middle East and Far East Combat Commands were split and a portion of the troops were formed as part of the British Forces in Australia."

Defense Minister Earl Alexander gave his own suggestion, "As for the command structure, Singapore's Far East Joint Operations Command is not far from Australia, so it can be directly assigned to the Far East Command."

"That'll be all right, Morrison, have a good talk with Prime Minister Menzies." Attlee nodded at Morrison.

In November 1956, the first batch of troops mobilized from the British Army in Malaysia landed in Australia. As the first batch of 6,000-strong British Army in Australia, they began to enter Australia. British troops stationed in British West Africa also received relocation orders and began to evacuate Nigeria.
