British civil servant

Chobham armor is just the earliest composite armor in the free world. It was the Soviet Union on the opposite side of the Iron Curtain that was first applied to tanks. The Soviet Union's investment in composite armor aviation was also due to the existence of the British Chieftain series tanks.

Because of the development of main guns, tanks have also taken a detour for a while. Various new ammunition such as chemical energy armor-piercing bullets, hollow-charge armor-piercing bullets, and armor-breaking bullets have developed rapidly. The penetration ability of homogeneous steel armor of [-]-[-] mm Puts any armor in the shade.

Therefore, many western tanks basically gave up heavy armor protection, almost gave up armor protection, and turned to extremely high mobility as a defense. A large number of crispy tanks are in the research and development sequence of various countries.

The Chief is the only iron baby in the free world at the same time. Except for the composite armor, the rest are the third-generation main station tank standards, which are heavier and more powerful than the active Soviet tanks.

The disadvantage of Soviet tanks in terms of tonnage made the Soviet Union invest a lot of energy in composite armor and finally made a breakthrough. This can avoid adding more water and surface, and finally compete with the free world to see who has more mouse tanks. Keep Soviet tanks The concept of achieving the same combat effectiveness with less weight.

The same is true for the United Kingdom. Once the composite armor is successful, the tonnage will drop to a certain extent, and the power of the Chieftain tank will be much more generous. To a certain extent, it can solve the heart disease of British tanks.

Chobham's composite armor may not come out so soon, but isn't there still data on plug-in reactive armor?

In the later Syrian civil war, the warring parties even hung stones on the tanks, which were just as useful.Can you confuse the Soviet Union before the Chobham composite armor appears?Probably enough, the Soviet Union is an expert in tanks, and it may be able to confuse the United States.

How to deal with a bunch of crispy tanks in hand?Of course, it is an external reactive armor. It maintains mobility when it is not attached, and completes the tough battle when it is attached. It does not need to be as extreme as British tanks, and it has spring like crispy tanks.

But I believe that other countries will realize in the future that the line of the chief tank is correct, and the hollow big bra is not advisable.

If time does not allow, Marshal Mountbatten is going to take his son-in-law to see the tsr.2 attack aircraft project.

Alan Wilson is indeed very interested, but he can only say that he will read it later, "The Soviet cultural delegation is about to arrive in London. After that, I will go to Somalia to guide independence. I am still very busy with work, Pam. La is also busy with business affairs, and if possible, Albert and Pamela may need to be taken care of by the marshal for a while."

The most important thing is the last sentence, if the youngest son had not been weaned, he would have ended up with his older siblings.

"No problem, both of you are busy." Marshal Mountbatten readily agreed, and he did not compare with the eldest daughter's family. The eldest daughter has nothing to do, and the eldest son-in-law is not so busy in the House of Lords. Yes, it was really busy.

"The thing is really wonderful." Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh on the way back to London. The main opponent of the tsr.2 attack aircraft in history is none other than Marshal Mountbatten, the number one figure in the military.

When the tsr.2 attack aircraft project was established, it was at a time when the United Kingdom was shrinking sharply, and the size of the British army was also shrinking again and again.

The army, navy and air force will spit on each other for my stagnant military spending.Marshal Mountbatten couldn't even keep the Royal Navy he was born in, let alone the Air Force project.

Of course, the failure of the tsr.2 attack aircraft project was also caused by the United States. After the war, the United Kingdom has been deeply in debt. The United States has used the International Monetary Fund to kill how many military projects in the United Kingdom.

In the final analysis, there is no money to make troubles. The smaller and smaller colonies and the increasing pressure on military expenditures make any British military projects have to be carefully calculated.

On the eve of the visit of the Soviet delegation, Whitehall has been paying attention to the movement of the United States, collecting information as much as possible to find out what the United States really thinks. The basic principle is that the United States expresses its position, which means the United States is in a hurry, and the United States does not express its position, which means that the United States is in a hurry. Anxious.

In fact, in private, McCarthy uncharacteristically changed his extremely conservative position, saying that the United Kingdom and the United States can have a good talk, and the real enemy is the Soviet Union. This statement is shocking.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this. Alan Wilson’s masterpiece of conspiracy theory, the World’s Unsolved Mysteries series, the agency fees in the US market have all entered the pockets of the McCarthys. Not a decimal.

Pamela Mountbatten has achieved great success and obtained a majority stake in Land Rover. Alan Wilson couldn't help joking, "If it was in the United States, this good news would cause the stock market to skyrocket."

If the 21st century is even more serious, new energy vehicles will be the next hot spot, and any ptt car project will dare to go public to collect money.

"It cost another 500 million pounds!" Pamela Mountbatten said pitifully, "I don't know when I can earn it back."

"Trust me, it will be soon." Alan Wilson patted his chest and promised that in the future, the Middle East must be filled with Land Rovers, and Toyota will be fucked. The British sphere of influence can only run British-brand cars.

At the end of April, led by Fultseva, a member of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union, the Tu-114 airliner carried by the Moscow Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe landed in London. Among the British diplomats who came to greet them, they saw that this aircraft was exactly the same as the Comet airliner. I couldn't help but be amazed at the airliner, but why does it smell like a bomber?

Fortseva seems to have carefully dressed up, wearing work clothes that can show off the beauty of women, and stepped off the passenger plane of the same model as the Tu 95 step by step. Alan Wilson wondered, why did the Soviet car still turn on the double flashing lights when it was moving forward?He was so shaken that he wanted to blink to make up the frame.

Fultseva's eyes are good, and the corner of her mouth curled up when she saw Alan Wilson, who was dazzled by the high beam, from the corner of her eye.

Chapter 33 Betrayed the Congo

Allen Wilson made complete preparations this time. At this special moment of the Iranian oil crisis, he ensured the stable development of the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union, and formulated a set of itinerary arrangements to ensure the stable development of the relationship between the two countries.

He knew that the United States was watching in the dark. Although Britain had no intention of surrendering directly with a throw of its rifle, it wanted to win over the Soviet Union.

In view of this, although he was dazzled by the headlights, Alan Wilson followed the Foreign Secretary Macmillan and stepped forward to welcome the visiting Soviet cultural delegation.

Among the members who came this time, in addition to the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, there are also some famous Soviet film actors, Tatyana Samoilova, known as the Soviet Audrey Hepburn, the protagonist of Paul Korchagin's movie Vasily Rannovoy was among them.

It can be seen from this that the cultural delegation of the Soviet Union this time also has a high gold content. Naturally, Alan Wilson did not dare to neglect and called back the two benchmark actors in the UK, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. Contemporary popular female stars in the UK have film appointments, but at this time, they should first contribute to the country before talking about other things.

Vivien Leigh is naturally indispensable, and Great Britain Treasure has always been responsive to Alan Wilson.

"The Soviets always brought out this choir, which is annoying." Alan Wilson said to Foreign Secretary Macmillan as soon as his fingertips still had the touch of a cultural tsar, expressing that he was a firm Unwavering pro-Americanism.

The United Kingdom is not like a country under the Soviet system and has political review, otherwise it will definitely dig deep into double-faced people like the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But my country has its own national conditions here, and there are people like Alan Wilson, such as Mr. Philby, the head of British counterintelligence and the director of MI[-].

"Allen, it's still useful now, don't be so hostile." McMillan signaled to be calm. He is also a genuine pro-American faction, but he also knows that Britain needs the Soviet Union at this time to share the Iranian oil crisis. pressure.

Ask Alan Wilson to say that Macmillan is not pro-American enough, and he muttered indignantly, "A poor country can just keep its head down and develop, and it is clamoring about liberating the world every day, except for those aborigines who can't afford to wear pants in the third world. Use them to save?"

McMillan sighed. He knew that the deputy and McCarthy wore a pair of pants, but said that now was not the time.

Alan Wilson has set up the banner of being pro-American and anti-Soviet, but considering the objective conditions, he can only follow the foreign minister and warmly welcome the Soviet cultural delegation to London.

Regarding the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, Alan Wilson has arranged many concerts for London citizens to enjoy.

As for the representatives of the film industry, an exchange meeting was also arranged through the Ministry of the Interior. The Soviets liked to drink enough.The itinerary was quite intensive. As for the hotel where he rested, he had checked it himself. It was absolutely soundproof to prevent the Soviets from thinking that Britain would take the opportunity to eavesdrop.

As night fell, the hotel where the Soviets stayed was already pitch black. Alan Wilson was cleaning up the culprit who turned on the high beams during the day, using his strong hands to untie the shackles of the cultural tsar, and muttering in his mouth that he would clean the car for the cultural tsar lamp.

In a model that can open high beams, Alan Wilson has only tested the dragoon sisters, the two Swedish actresses Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman, and the cultural czar in front of him.

"Huh!" Fultseva hugged the man's head on her chest, her eyes narrowed slightly, and an incomprehensible expression appeared on her face.

The cultural tsar was exhausted, and after a while, the two walked into the bathroom, enjoying the car cleaning service of the British Foreign Office's executive secretary, and finally the kiss officially began.

Alan Wilson has a lot of experience in dealing with women like milf, and his experience can be written into a book, such as "Ai Zhongtang and My Mother's Two or Three Affair".

The autobiography in the UK is called "A Generation of Worthy Minister Ai Zhongtang", and the autobiography published in the colonies is called "Ai Zhongtang with Parents".

Sitting together, the two looked at each other, and Furtseva said in an exotic accent, "You are the most courageous man I have ever met, you must know that I have much more power than you. Aiden doesn't have as much power as I do in a way."

"I also admit that this is a thing. The national system is different. You are the most powerful woman in the world." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, and reached out to wipe Fultseva's cheeks. The cultural tsar's cheeks were covered with sweat , "Is it carefully prepared, wearing such avant-garde underwear?"

Fultseva was a little embarrassed and muttered, "Don't think that only you women in capitalist countries know beauty."

It is indeed beautiful. Alan Wilson, who has already tested it himself, nodded. This Soviet car must have lost weight.

It is not the style of Alan Wilson to talk about love and affairs without talking about state affairs. The five masters of Cambridge are not as important to the Soviet Union as him. Now that they are face to face, they should exchange information.

Although face-to-face information exchange is somewhat risky, it is the safest way for the two people's current status.

"When I learned that you were going to lead a delegation to visit the UK, I immediately put aside my business in Africa and rushed back from Africa." Alan Wilson half-closed his eyes and put his arms around the delicate body of the cultural tsar, smoking an afterthought cigarette. , but I have been following your situation and am pleased with your outstanding performance during your visit to Washington."

Fultseva's status is stable, but Alan Wilson still reminds that Brezhnev should be learned from Brezhnev on general occasions and not express his position on domestic affairs. Although international affairs have a greater impact on the world, something really happened. It is also a fact that it is far less serious in nature than domestic affairs.

Fultseva couldn't help but feel a little moved, it turned out to be an Englishman who put himself in his shoes and thought about him.

On the one hand, she regretted the fact that the two countries belonged to each other, but a voice told her that this was very exciting, and the arms around the man became stronger.

"We have an operation, maybe if the Soviet Union joins in, it will be easier to succeed." Alan Wilson said suddenly, just like the last meeting in Moscow, London earlier, and Potsdam more than ten years ago.

Thinking of the bond between Alan Wilson and the cultural czar not once or twice, Fultseva asked softly, "What? I guess it's the Iranian oil crisis, or something about Indonesia that needs to be acted upon."

"If Britain makes a decision on the oil crisis, it will inform the Soviet Union through official channels, not during this cultural visit. The matter in Indonesia has not yet been decided, it depends on whether Sukarno continues to be close to the Soviet Union, and the Indonesian Communist Party developments to determine the time to act."

Alan Wilson shook his head and said that it was not the right time, and then changed the topic, "It's another issue, and we will soon see this matter. I don't believe that the Soviet Central Presidium hasn't talked about the matter of the Belgian Congo."

"The last meeting before I came here discussed the issue of Congo. Is it going to be independent from Belgium?" Fultseva nodded. With her lover now, the cultural tsar also leaked secrets.

"That is the result of the United States' pressure on Belgium to prevent Belgium from suppressing it. As far as the British part is concerned, the border of Northern Rhodesia is like a barbell, which is extremely easy to be cut off from the middle. This salient part is in the Lubumbashi area. "

Alan Wilson said slowly, "We don't like Lumumba, even if the United States disagrees, but we can confirm that the Lubumbashi area will be merged into Northern Rhodesia through the secret communication of Belgian immigrants. The consequences It may lead to pressure from the United States, just like the Iranian oil crisis this time. How important the Belgian Congo is, we know from the Berlin Peace Conference that year. It is the center of the entire Africa. The colonial division of Africa is the Belgian Congo Congo-centric."

"Lumumba is a man with great prestige in the Belgian Congo. No one can compare him to him. He doesn't like the free world or the United States, which seems to have nothing to do with colonialism. Once we take the Lubumbashi area, he will definitely Against the free world, he may turn to the Soviet Union for help, and once he does, his death is not far away."

"Do you still dare to kill a national hero?" Fultseva couldn't help losing her voice, but she immediately shook her head and said, "Yes, why don't you imperialists dare?"

"Yeah, what are you afraid of? I, an imperialist, even dare to sleep in the same bed with a high-ranking Soviet official."

Alan Wilson snorted, "It's like the situation in the Congo. Isn't it easy for us to just buy a careerist and let them kill Lumumba themselves?"

As soon as the words fell, the cultural tsar's demon grasped his waist, but this was almost the most impossible thing in the world, but it was a fact before his eyes, and he had even just completed a manned spaceflight.

"What exactly do you want to tell me?" Fultseva asked angrily, "To humiliate me? I even..."

With a snort, Fultseva stopped talking, and Alan Wilson immediately realized his mistakes and corrected them. "Actually, if we didn't have military power, it would be easier for us to kill a so-called independent leader in Africa than to kill an ant. But there are people to protect us." He is different, in fact, Africa is so backward, as long as there are 500 armed consultants standing beside Lumumba in the form of assistance experts, it is impossible for him to be overthrown by a military coup, and the difficulty of assassination is much higher.”

"What's in it for you?" Fultseva asked suspiciously, ignoring that the two had just had a good time.

"The benefits to the UK are the same as those of Indonesia becoming a country under the Soviet system. Congo has become a pro-Soviet country. The United States has seen the consequences, so it should not try to use threats and lures against Belgium a second time."

Alan Wilson said lazily, "If the Azerbaijan region in northern Iran has Soviet forces, the Iranian oil crisis and the UK would have accepted the arbitration of the United States long ago. Isn't that good?"

Chapter 34 Americans are too naive

"It's a beautiful idea." Fultseva was silent for a moment, as if judging the authenticity of her lover's words, and then said, "Not to mention other places, I don't believe that the United States is not interested in such an important golden waterway like the Strait of Malacca."

"The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is not good, and it is unlikely to go to war, especially considering the existence of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson shrugged and smiled, "The main pressure comes from the economy. Fortunately, we have broken free from the quagmire of World War II. Up to now, 700 million square kilometers of land have been out of the control of the United Kingdom, and there are still 600 million square kilometers left. There are still independent colonies, but there are several key areas that must be preserved. For the sake of Malaya The safety of the industrial base, not to mention doing business with the Soviet Union, even if it is doing business with aliens, I will do the same."

After comprehensive consideration, this is the only British colony that is still suitable for sharing defense responsibilities.

Although British East Africa has a larger area, but relying on the black uncles in East Africa?Although he also admitted that blacks in East Africa are more reliable than their counterparts in West Africa, the risks are still huge, and time is too precious to Britain.

As for the rest of the reasons, I can't disclose them to Fultseva. He has no interest in being a big prophet in front of senior Soviet officials, saying that the deterioration of the situation in Vietnam will definitely lead to the end of the United States.

This night, the two only talked about the issue of the Belgian Congo. The Belgian Congo is as important as Alan Wilson said.

But compared with the grand blueprint that Britain is still preparing to suck blood from Africa for ten or eight years, it is not important.

The reason has already been said more than once. The criss-crossing situation of the Cold War is beneficial to the colonial countries.

Even if the Congo's rich mineral resources lose Lubumbashi, it will still increase the strength of the Soviet Union.

But the stability of Northern Rhodesia will also increase the strength of the United Kingdom. Northern Rhodesia will be loyal to the Queen with peace of mind, and South Rhodesia, Botswana and other places will also develop in a direction that is beneficial to the United Kingdom.

Whenever he thinks of the ending of Britain and all its territories being completely lost, Alan Wilson firmly believes that no matter who he unites with, it will not be worse than history. saving.

"Congo." Fultseva also muttered in a low voice. Even if the south of Lubumbashi is lost, the remaining Congo is still the center of Africa with more than 200 million square kilometers.She really helped the Soviet Union get it. The implementation of the Soviet Union's African strategy will be much easier, and she will also benefit.

The Soviet Union has an African strategy, and the main promoter of the African strategy is Khrushchev himself. Taking advantage of the disintegration of the African colonial system, Khrushchev is keen to promote "peaceful transition to the Soviet system", and he wants to create Come up with a few examples of peaceful transition.For this reason, Khrushchev focused on a few countries in North and West Africa and worked hard.The policies adopted are mainly: international diplomatic and economic support, plus some necessary arms assistance.

Of course, it is true that there are no results so far. Khrushchev’s most important thing is North Africa, but Britain and France cover each other to prevent the Soviet Union from taking advantage of loopholes. The Soviet aid to Algeria has been intercepted by the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet.

The infiltration of the British sphere of influence was also unsuccessful. Alan Wilson wished to go to the Arab countries every year to hide his achievements and fame wholeheartedly, give all his achievements to the local royal family for free, and use the hegemony of public opinion to sing praises for the monarch every day.

So so far, the Soviet Union's penetration of the British and French spheres of influence has not achieved any particularly significant results. The Arab countries have only won Syria, and Africa has not yet achieved anything.

When the Soviet Union is really invincible, it still has to wait for Brezhnev to come to power and formulate two strategies, the world's oil depots and the world's mines. The former refers to the Middle East, and the latter refers to South Africa. It is also necessary to prevent these two places from being used by the free world. When the United States fell into the predicament of the Vietnam War and the new domestic isolationism was on the rise, the Soviet Union aggressively expanded in Africa.

At that time, the Soviet Union made extensive contacts with African countries and established formal diplomatic or bilateral relations with almost all independent African countries.However, although Brezhnev made great progress in the Middle East, he failed to win the largest oil depot in Saudi Arabia.

The two places with the richest mineral resources in Africa, South Africa has always been a member of the free world, and Congo has not made any progress because of missed opportunities, but now, Alan Wilson is willing to give Fultseva a big gift, and the two African countries One of the large mines can be given to the Soviet Union, although not all of them, because there is still a part that needs to be digested by Northern Rhodesia.

Of course, if the Soviet Union successfully established African influence in the Belgian Congo, whether South Africa will also be taken down in the Angola war in the future is too far away. Now Alan Wilson can't take care of it. Preserve the interests of the United Kingdom, and we will talk about things later. Isn't diplomacy just adapting to the situation?

He can communicate secretly with the Soviet Union now, and when the Soviet Union is aggressive, Britain and the United States can also show unparalleled unity. This is what Britain has been doing for the past 900 years.

"Ekaterina, you just need to remember one thing." Alan Wilson pulled Fultseva back to her thoughts, "When Lumumba asks for help, we don't like independent independent leaders. According to your words It is called neo-colonialism, and the colonies are only allowed to be independent in name. Leaders like Lumumba who want to be independent will definitely be suppressed, but they may not die, but as long as Lumumba asks the Soviet Union for help, his death almost there."

"If the Soviet Union doesn't care about Lumumba's request for help, as long as he adopts a supportive attitude, even if the armed personnel reach Kinshasa secretly, they must ensure Lumumba's safety. Otherwise, if Lumumba dies, the Congo will fall to the United States hands."

"Sometimes our leaders are still too idealistic." Furtseva described Khrushchev as idealistic. She would never dare to say this in the Soviet Union, but she said so in front of a British person. .

"Is there a reason?" Alan Wilson hesitated for a moment, "The first trouble in Africa was the British Gold Coast. Kwame Nkrumah's plane disappeared, right? I did it. This reason is enough Not enough, since Kwame Nkrumah can disappear, so can Lumumba."

"What did you do?" Fultseva's eyes were full of shock. Was the murderer her own man?Bah, what kind of man is she? She has a husband who is obviously an imperialist.

"Are you going to arrest me?" Allen Wilson asked back with his head tilted, his confidence a little low, "Ekaterina, I have also helped you a lot. This time the Congo matter is successful, and your position will be more stable. And I A reminder, it is best to have the support of Brezhnev, but because of his personality, he will only support after your proposal, and you must do it if you are the first bird."

The heart of the cultural tsar was touched, and the person who thought of her most in this life turned out to be a foreigner. When the man's hand pressed her head down, she obediently put down the pride of the cultural tsar.

"Huh..." The executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held his head high with a ecstasy on his face. The Soviet Union would not lose money if the cultural tsar's obedience was exchanged for a land of more than 200 million square kilometers.

"I'll come tomorrow." In the middle of the night, Fultseva took the coat and put it on for Allen Wilson, and heard such a sentence.

There is a saying, if you want to escape from this Shura field, you have to change your job.

Alan Wilson finally remembered that this is a line from a movie called Very Run, but it is very similar to today's Britain.

In order for Great Britain to still have the chance to sublimate and live a second life, he sold the colonies, especially the colonies of other countries, without hesitation at all. The next night, he talked with the cultural tsar about Italy and In Turkey, the United States' nuclear missile base has progressed, and I asked Fultseva's countermeasures, but naturally no answer was received.

A day later, the topic turned to whether India, the jewel of the British Empire, was worth supporting. He was an expert on this point, "Whether the Soviet Union supports India or not, the inherent self-confidence of Indians will not be affected at all. "

Although the real identity is the two extremes of the enemy and us, and they cannot coexist peacefully, but after the verification of the two sides, Fultseva feels that she has gained a lot. Of course, Ai Zhongtang is almost hollowed out by the cultural tsar. It's easy to come here before grit your teeth and stick to it.

The time to do it in the Belgian Congo is to wait for Lumumba to ask the Soviet Union for help. Of course, Northern Rhodesia must formally annex the land of Lubumbashi before that.

In London, the capital of the United Kingdom, the chorus stage of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe was full, and the visiting Soviet actors also appeared in British newspapers.

With her beautiful image, Fultseva expressed a friendly attitude at the British university. At the same time, Armstrong, the British ambassador to the United States, informed by telegram that Washington was extremely concerned about the visit of the Soviet Union this time.

"The United States should be concerned about the pro-Soviet Mosaddegh." At No. [-] Downing Street, Alan Wilson, with a face that no one is more right than me, pursed his lips and yelled, "Instead of talking about these useless nonsense, the United States They mistakenly thought that Mossadegh could be wooed, and instead stood on his side. If the oil crisis is finally resolved this time, it must end with the lives of the Mossadegh family."
