Chapter 923 I Protect the Free World

"My dear, you are getting better and better at talking." Alan Wilson's negative emotions about India's space program have also eased a little. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, let's watch while walking.

Even if India started engaging in aerospace a few years earlier, nothing would necessarily change.

His intuitive view of India is that it has a large area and a large population. Apart from that, it is difficult to think of any other advantages.

In terms of geographical environment, India is topped by the Himalayas, the entire Indus River Basin and the mouth of the Ganges River are lost. The climate in the dry season and rainy season is extreme, and the main grain-producing areas are semi-arid areas like Punjab. What is certain is that it is inherently unable to confront China.

This cannot be changed, and even the most powerful political experts cannot change India’s natural climate and resources.

To say that China has now proposed a space program, it is worthy of careful study, because although China is not a perfect civilization, it is one dimension higher than India in terms of words and calculations.

In the news of later generations, various countries proposed new space plans in a certain year. For a while, it seemed that the glorious era of the space race was back. But when it came to the year when it was supposed to be fulfilled, only China produced results as planned. As for other countries? That's just talk. It has never fulfilled the campaign promise. It's just a joke.

Alan Wilson still attaches great importance to China as an enemy. Except for the improvement in big-ball sports, the national system is still quite powerful in other fields.

Speaking of sports, next year is the World Cup, and then the Newfoundland Crown Territory will be able to make another fortune.

The Olympic Games and the World Cup, which alternate twice every four years, have become the happiest time for the residents of the Royal Territory of Newfoundland. Before that time, it is a feast for the entire Newfoundland.

As for the Cold War confrontation and the space race, they are too far away from a place with only more than 200,000 people. Iceland is the most suitable opponent for Newfoundland.

A term of office benefits one party. During his initial term in Newfoundland, he also received help from the Newfoundland Crown Territory in the future. No matter where Alan Wilson was, he could always get local financial support.

This is of course also related to the Mountbatten Group's positioning of Newfoundland as its North American headquarters, and now a virtuous cycle has been formed.

Alan Wilson, who was enjoying a wonderful holiday life in Perth, welcomed a guest on this day. After confirming that he was specifically looking for him, he met the guest at the Mountbatten Building in Perth.

"Mr. Wilson, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is George, from the NSA." The man who claimed to be from the NSA introduced himself. In fact, Alan Wilson could already hear the other person's American accent.

"It turns out to be No, Such, Agency." Alan Wilson also joked politely that there was no such agency, but he still had to confirm the other party's identity. "Since they are allies, there must be something important."

"Mr. Wilson, you have to know that the United States is dealing with the Soviet Union's space competition." George pondered for a moment and said, "We have communicated with London through Five Eyes and hope to cooperate in the space field. This can better deal with the Soviet threat. ,only……"

"Just what?" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the United States wants to continue its alliance with others for nothing? If so, he must go back to London and talk about the United States tearing up the atomic energy sharing treaty.

"Mr. Wilson, we know that the UK's space launches have made great progress. There have been frequent launches recently. We are not spying on our allies. We all get it from public information." George hesitated and said, "Washington and London communicate. It means, can the launch plan be postponed until after December 18, when the United States has a launch plan on that day?"

"Wow?" Alan Wilson clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the other person up and down, "The United States hopes that the United Kingdom will launch its own satellite after the United States succeeds?"

"That's not what I meant." George quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Wilson, it's just delayed until after our next launch.

It’s not that the UK is suspending its entire space program. "

"I don't think so!" Alan Wilson thought expressionlessly, but he didn't finish his words. "Mr. George, I have to wait for instructions from London. I am only responsible for the administrative work of the launch site. Why don't you ask Si Where is Marshal Lim?"

George was a little embarrassed. How could he know whether a British marshal had a good temper or not. In any case, the current Governor-General of Australia is a marshal with outstanding merits. If he comes to conduct secret operations, he may anger an old soldier.

"It was Senator McCarthy who felt that the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States would allow the United Kingdom to consider the interests of all the free world and allow the United States to conduct another launch." George could only bring McCarthy out, hoping it would be effective.

"Joseph?" Alan Wilson had already made up his mind and pretended to be silent. "Since it is him, I should help. As long as there are no problems in London, I can naturally wait for the launch opportunity to ensure the success rate. In fact, What does the second one have to do with the third one? When London makes a decision, we can discuss it formally the next time we meet."

Alan Wilson shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner and made a plan to come directly to the door next time. Then he said a friendly farewell and returned to his wife's boudoir. "Prepare a well-functioning recording equipment for me. I want to record the special relationship between Britain and the United States."

"My dear, you should go to work in MI6." Pamela Mountbatten smiled like a little fox, and then sighed sadly, "Unfortunately, it is not easy to enter that kind of department as a cabinet secretary."

Two days later, Alan Wilson, who was playing at home, consciously began to guide close American allies. Witnessed by the Australian intelligence agency, the entire process of requesting the United Kingdom to delay the launch was videotaped.

"Senator Kennedy? He is a young and promising man." During the conversation, Alan Wilson heard the other party mention the promising senator of the Democratic Party. He felt that it might be an unexpected gain, and began to guide Americans' evaluation without leaving any trace. Take a look at this political upstart.

"As for Senator Kennedy, he has a lot of romantic affairs." Just because he is an intelligence officer, we cannot think that this person must be an indifferent person. Obviously George is not. He is also concerned about the affairs of the lower third party.

The conversation about Senator Kennedy's rich love history took up half an hour. During this period, the Australian intelligence officer also joined in. From time to time he burst out with sighs and intermittent bursts of obscene laughter. As long as a man understands it, .

"Some people say that Kennedy had premature ejaculation." When Pamela Mountbatten came over to look for her husband, she happened to see Alan Wilson playing the highlight of today's meeting. She couldn't help but frown, "That's all we talk about?"

"Maybe it will come in handy one day." Alan Wilson said to himself that he had already recorded Reagan's political leanings. This time, he just added Kennedy. It was no big deal. It was just that American intelligence officials said that the future president would have premature ejaculation. It's just morally corrupt, and there's a lot of content that he deliberately guided.

"If you say it can be used, it can be used. But the Americans really went too far. For their own benefit, they asked the UK to delay the launch time." Pamela Mountbatten muttered dissatisfiedly.

"If we delay the launch until after the 18th, it will be regarded as a promise to the Americans." Alan Wilson didn't care. The first place was gone. The order of second and third was of little significance.

Besides, London has already agreed, so what reason does he have to object? Now it depends on whether the United States can rise up. If the crotch is still stretched, don't blame him.

Alan Wilson set the date for the next British launch on December 25th, a week after the American launch. Shortly after, London approved the launch date.

"In fact, you don't have to think about it. The United States must have made a confident attitude in front of our diplomats." Alan Wilson's face looked strange, as if he smelled a conspiracy.

"What's going on?" Pamela Mountbatten wondered what her man had seen.

"If the confidence of the United States is based on the launch success rate, even if it is arrogant, it will not really think that the next launch will be successful. But in terms of diplomatic rhetoric, the United States cannot say that it is not confident enough? So it looks full of confidence. , it’s just a show. Our confidence in the United States is also a show-off.”

Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband's explanation and savored it for a long time, "So what does it mean?"

"The United States knows that it is not ready, and the United Kingdom knows that the United States is not ready. But the United States pretends to be ready, and the United Kingdom pretends to believe that the United States is ready. In fact, the United States is not ready, and the United Kingdom knows that the United States actually Not ready. That’s about it.”

"Then the final result is." Pamela Mountbatten glanced sideways at her husband and added, "The worst result for the United States."

"The United Kingdom gave the United States an opportunity, but the United States itself did not seize it." Alan Wilson raised his head to the sky and muttered, "Of course this depends on whether the United States launches successfully this time."

At the Cape Calaverna Launch Center in Florida, the rocket on the launch pad is ready. A javelin-shaped guy, built by the famous Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this rocket will carry the United States’ expectations of launching the first artificial satellite into space. Citizens throughout the United States urgently hope that the government can give the Soviet Union a clear response in aerospace technology.

With the best wishes from American citizens, the countdown begins, and the rocket lifts off smoothly until it disappears into the sky. Was it a success?

"The news just came from the United States. The American satellite did not enter the intended orbit. It is our turn." Alan Wilson arrived at the launch site again. "I wonder if we can give the free world a Christmas gift."

The United States is just Tu Yile. The one who truly protects the free world must be me, Great Britain.
