British civil servant

And is Malaya only a superficial area of ​​50 square kilometers?Don't forget that half of Kalimantan Island is in the hands of the Netherlands. The Dutch capital is far less powerful than the British capital. Kalimantan Island is divided into two, and the Dutch part is also affected by the British, and a siphon effect has appeared.

Norman Brooke still voiced the well-worn concerns, the most prone to loyalty problems in the colonies.

"I have talked with all the justices of the peace this time, and everyone agrees that the model of having the UK provide scientific and technological support and military protection, and they provide contacts to expand the market and include the whole of Southeast Asia is the most suitable development strategy. And before In comparison, the invisible but real national boundaries have actually helped us a lot.”

Alan Wilson explained with humility, regarding the plan to center on Malaya and radiate to the surrounding area, "In fact, the island of Kalimantan in the Netherlands is an obvious example. What we hope is that thirty to 40 years later, every country in Southeast Asia has agents of Malaya’s spillover capital, and British capital is hidden in it.”

To be honest, at the same time that Alan Wilson was explaining, Sir Norman Brooke, the British apocalypse, was thinking about retirement. He now feels more and more physically tired. If it was ten years ago, all kinds of The secretary-general of the committee is held concurrently by himself, and now he has other people to manage the newly established departments.

This is already a big improvement for the cabinet secretary who has almost wiped out all the top leaders of important departments in Whitehall.

After such a conversation for a while, Norman Brooke was tired, "In short, when it comes to safeguarding collective rights and interests, your colleagues think you are reliable and have extraordinary energy, Alan, keep working hard."

"Is it because of age? Could it be that he has been a cabinet secretary for 30 years?" After Alan Wilson left, Norman Brook fell into long-term thinking.

Civil servants can retire until the age of 65, as former cabinet secretary Edward Bridges did.It was only Norman Brook who felt tired in the past two years and thought of retiring early.

Norman Brooke has read the files of Alan Wilson. If he is the next cabinet secretary, he will retire at the age of 65, almost 30 years later.

At this time, Norman Brook didn't know that the permanent deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in his eyes had a flexible date of birth, so he could work for three years on the basis of his idea.

Alan Wilson even kept the original birth certificate. It was not the first time he had changed the date of birth. In his hometown in his previous life, it was common for him to change his age.

Accompanying Rabe Butler to attend the NATO foreign ministers meeting was the first time the foreign minister appeared at a post-war international conference. At the NATO foreign ministers meeting, the foreign ministers of various countries had heated discussions and fought with each other.

The headquarters of France's largest film company is also at war with each other, and the two female presidents dare to chat here?

"You are doing this kind of thing on such an important occasion." Heidi Lama whispered with her arms around the man's neck.

"I still do this kind of thing under the deep attention of the French intelligence service." Alan Wilson boasted.

In the past few days in Paris, Alan Wilson thought about one thing, and when he returned to London, he told Xia Meng, "My son, Charlotte, will definitely be a successful person with no worries in the future."

"It doesn't matter what it's called, come and see me when the time comes." Xia Meng acted like a baby, hoping that Alan Wilson would come over after the child was born.

The date of birth was just a few days ago. Xia Meng was alone in a foreign country, and she still instinctively hoped to be protected by a man.Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, then nodded under Xia Meng's nervous gaze, "I'll make an exception for you."

He has great hopes for the kid, who can replace him in his Asian business in 20 years.In fact, he originally wanted to name him Xia Jie, but he thought it was more domineering.

The first thousand and 110 chapters and four French overtures

Xia Meng, who got the promise, was very happy, and took the initiative to ask, "You must be very tired after going abroad during this time. Take a rest here, and I will cook you something."

"I'm not tired, but I'm tired of intrigue with the Americans every day." Alan Wilson stroked his forehead, looked at Xia Meng's face and asked, "Can you understand me?"

"I don't understand and I don't want to understand." Xia Meng's answer made Alan Wilson laugh out loud, which is actually quite good.

Two hours later, Alan Wilson got up and left, telling Xia Meng to rest well, and he would come to visit at that time.

The NATO foreign ministers meeting this time is the source of his worries. The eccentricity of the United States includes but is not limited to France's colonial policy. This is completely expected, and there are unexpected ones. .

For example, the United States suggested that the nuclear weapons of Britain and France be included in the unified command structure to jointly deal with the threat of the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson is too familiar with this trick. He just took the Hong Kong governor who said he wanted financial independence as a fart, and sent people from the Overseas Assets Management Committee to integrate Hong Kong's British-funded enterprises into the integration to increase the economy in his hands. strength.

These two things are just in different fields. In fact, they have the same purpose. The United States wants to take the opportunity to abolish, or half abolish, the nuclear weapons of Britain and France.

This idea naturally aroused fierce opposition from France.Rabo Butler, the foreign secretary who attended an international conference for the first time after the war, did not say anything.

He also went to Paris with Rabo Butler, but Alan Wilson, who spent most of his time exploring the way of spaceflight, had no special and constructive views. When Rabo Butler discussed with him, he just Answer, "On the premise that France does not surrender control of nuclear weapons, Britain listens to the United States?"

"Especially when the war in Algeria is becoming more and more beneficial to France, what will we do to suppress France? Besides, Britain is also a colonial country. Entering the so-called joint command organization? It is not good for the current Britain."

Now that the NATO foreign ministers' meeting is over, Rabo Butler must come back to inform Eden of the meeting.

Alan Wilson also wanted to see what Aiden's attitude was, and whether it was in line with the Conservative Party's usual traitorous style.

We must know that the Labor Party in the House of Commons is currently in a strong opposition. Once Eden appears to loosen, he will show a tendency to bow his head.But there may not necessarily be a Macmillan for him to use to make a pump.

This matter still needs to be asked about the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Alan Wilson came to the door with his wife and asked his father-in-law what he meant. He didn't think that Marshal Mountbatten was a soldier who could be manipulated by him. He knew nothing except socializing.

Alan Wilson heard a rumor in his previous life that when Harold Wilson was prime minister, because of the long-term nationalization policy and some pro-Soviet rumors, it almost caused military intervention in Britain.

In the 70s, the British army occupied the runway at London's Heathrow Airport in the name of a drill against the Irish Republican Army, but Wilson's friends pointed out that this was a rehearsal for a military coup.Rumors even indicated that Lord Mountbatten was the mastermind behind the second coup d'état, and he would act as prime minister after the coup d'état was successful.

You must know that Marshal Mountbatten will retire in five years at most. The time when the coup was rumored was already ten years after Mountbatten retired. It can be seen that although Mountbatten was no longer in the military, his influence has not dissipated in the army for a long time.

Therefore, Alan Wilson never thought that his father-in-law was a so-called delusional person, and no delusional person could mobilize his old subordinates after leaving his comfort zone.

"The Americans are going to surrender our guns. I don't know if this is a consensus within the US government." Alan Wilson sat down and went straight to the topic, "I don't know what the Marshal thinks?"

Marshal Mountbatten looked at his son-in-law with the same eyes, and blurted out, "I want to know what you think? Don't come to me and ask me as soon as something happens. It will make people think that Britain is a military government."

"Father!" Pamela Mountbatten said in a long voice, shaking Marshal Mountbatten's arm, "You are the full-time commander-in-chief of the British armed forces. This is a big deal. I don't believe that no one has asked for your opinion."

"You still need to ask for my opinion, my daughter. You have tied up six dukes, twenty earls, and more than 400 barons. Aiden said that you are more useful than him in some occasions." Marshal Mountbatten shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then he said sternly, "Based on what I know about Aiden, he will not let go of this kind of thing. He was firmly opposed to the appeasement policy back then. Toughness was the first impression voters had of him. Because of Nigeria's independence, he Macmillan was pushed out as a scapegoat."

"Not to mention handing over the nuclear weapons, if he makes a decision that is contrary to the perception of voters. He will step down immediately."

"It's a pity that it's still inconvenient. Why don't I ask the agents from the Sixth Office to monitor No. [-] Downing Street." Alan Wilson murmured to himself, feeling that the current situation was still a bit inconvenient.

"Britain is not the Soviet Union," Mountbatten said immediately, and then added, "At least not in public."

Allen Wilson stared at Mountbatten with wide eyes. Did he do this before?Doesn't it mean that Britain is not a military government?

"There are always things about the royal family that cannot be said publicly." Mountbatten did not answer the son-in-law's question, but obliquely said that under certain circumstances, the prime minister is not excluded from the evaluation of reliability.

Through this answer, Alan Wilson confirmed a historical rumor that Harold Wilson felt that at the end of his administration, the inexplicable hostility around him was true, and this hostility came from the deep government.

"Actually, I don't believe that a world war will break out." Alan Wilson paused when he said this. "As long as the current military strength is maintained, it will be easy for the UK to protect itself. Once nuclear weapons are included in any joint command system, the UK is equivalent to Everything is open to the United States, and it will be easier for them to manipulate us when the time comes."

"What are the consequences?" Pamela Mountbatten asked directly when she heard what her husband said so seriously.

"There are many, from the heavy pressure on the pound zone to the abnormal competition faced by the Comet airliner, and even in all aspects." Alan Wilson snapped his fingers, "Anything that the UK is still worth grabbing may interest the United States."

"Father, it's better for you to use your influence to clarify the military's attitude." Pamela Mountbatten said to Mountbatten with a serious face, "This is really too dangerous."

Your industry is too dangerous!Alan Wilson still felt that the true meaning he translated was closer to the essence of the matter, but he dared not say it.

The two left Mountbatten's house, and Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband while driving, "After disarming nuclear weapons, is there a risk that the United States will annex Britain?"

"That's not true, but the United Kingdom will become a relationship dependent on the United States." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "You know in your heart that although I call out the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States louder than anyone else in public, this is the establishment of the United Kingdom. On the basis of the UK's own independent ability, if this foundation is lost, when I shouted, I was enthusiastically sticking to my cold ass, not as confident as I am now."

At that time, the British may say some cold jokes, similar to the self-deprecation that I am an American father, and I can't do anything.

It's like some so-called ancient tradition in Japan, which is greatly appreciated by Hibuki.Allen Wilson didn't know what he was admiring. Many so-called traditions inherited by Japan should be eliminated.

Just because Japan is still reserved, and life happens to be a little higher than China, it can cause a lot of Japanese blows to beat their chests.Has anyone ever seen a careful study of Vietnam retaining ancient Chinese habits?

Even if someone cares, it will cause a contemptuous smile.The same thing, the samurai sword can be used to prove how awesome the Tang sword is, and the Vietnamese sword is not blown to study any historical inheritance, and then reflect on yourself.

In Alan Wilson's view, maybe Tang Dao was eliminated normally in Chinese history, but because Japan is developed and has a samurai tradition, it was blown up by a group of people who reflect on themselves every day when they have nothing to do.

In essence, this is Macmillan's comparison of Britain to ancient Greece and the United States to a variant of the Roman Empire.

Just as Alan Wilson was preparing for the birth of another child, Pamela Mountbatten immediately informed Alan Wilson of another news, "Dassault has proposed cooperation? What do you think?"

"A fighter jet project? That's a surprise!" Alan Wilson put down the newspaper. Pamela Mountbatten couldn't understand Chinese characters. She didn't know what the newspaper was writing under the title "Deepening American Economic Crisis", and she didn't care. , Said directly, "The Belfast strategic transport aircraft project."

"I just said that the French will not ask others for fighter jets." Alan Wilson suddenly realized, and thought, "I will ask MI[-] to evaluate the technical strength of France, and then I will see Whitehall's opinion. , I will tell you whether we can cooperate. However, I think European military cooperation is possible, and if the Belfast strategic transport aircraft is favored by France, it will be easier to win financial support from the Ministry of Finance."

"And after in-depth cooperation, orders from Britain and France are better than our own orders, otherwise the cost will remain high, and France may drive other countries."

After putting down the newspaper, Alan Wilson went out for activities. He remembered that France was a short board in strategic transport aircraft.Choosing to cooperate on this can be regarded as quite precise.

From his personal point of view, the timing is just right. If possible, Alan Wilson wants to promote cooperation in this regard.Public opinion also needs to be prepared, and it is time for justice for Germany. The flying coffin can be mentioned.

Chapter 110 Dad's Backstab

Speaking of the cooperation on the Eurofighter, Alan Wilson has a certain impression. Whether it is the early squall or the later typhoon, although the development process is not smooth, the final result is that the two fighters take more care of the British. In reality, other cooperating countries have compromised more on Britain's demands.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The United Kingdom is not said to be the strongest in the world in the field of engines, but after decades of experience, it is still one of the strongest in the world. If the United States and the Soviet Union are excluded, the United Kingdom is the only option for European countries, and it has unstoppable alternative.

Even fighter jets are like this, and with larger strategic transport aircraft, Britain's advantage is even more obvious.Alan Wilson remembers that although France is also a triad nuclear country, it is actually a trinity in name.

The British triple V bomber is a genuine strategic bomber, as is the Belfast strategic transport aircraft.

Although it was decommissioned and terminated later, the United Kingdom was indeed a genuine trinity nuclear power for a period of time.And France does not have a real strategic air force.

France's choice of strategic bombers and strategic transport aircraft is to consider the farthest possible intervention in African affairs at any time. .France and Africa are separated by the Mediterranean Sea, so it is enough to have a decent transport aircraft.

Later generations of France did not want to introduce the C17 transport aircraft made in the United States because it was really difficult to manufacture heavy transport aircraft, and France was not the same as the United Kingdom.Instead, European partners such as Spain, Belgium, and Germany were called to develop the A400M transport aircraft.

As for the strategic bomber, the French Mirage IV strategic bomber should also be the strategic bomber with the shortest legs in the world.

Therefore, to cooperate on the strategic transport aircraft, Alan Wilson believed that it was proposed by France.If it was a fighter jet, France would never speak.

There are two reasons for this. Although strategic transport aircraft are important, they are not insurmountable in the Air Force.

Fighter jets are a deadly thing, and France under Charles de Gaulle's administration must be guarding against getting stuck.What if the cooperation produces a finished product, and at a critical moment, the United Kingdom will use the special relationship between Britain and the United States to force France to submit?These are all inevitable things.

In terms of European defense cooperation, France has never conducted multinational cooperation in the field of fighter jets. The Tornado and Typhoon are all dominated by the United Kingdom. On the contrary, in the development of transport aircraft, France has wooed other countries to jointly develop research.

After some simulations, Alan Wilson asked his father-in-law to work in the Ministry of Defense in person about the matter involving his daughter's property, and he himself did diplomatic work. Of course, this matter cannot be hidden from Rabo Butler The foreign secretary.

"There is no doubt that this is a good move by France. It is used to counter the accusations made by the United States at the foreign ministers' meeting." Rabo Butler also understood the twists and turns, "and the person I found is very accurate, if I remember correctly , this is the airline integrated by the Mountbatten Group, and it is currently the product that has put the most energy into it, isn't it, Alan?"

"Is the Foreign Secretary suspicious? I will make mistakes because the Belfast strategic transport aircraft is Pamela's painstaking effort?" Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Actually, to be honest, the development of strategic transport aircraft is complicated and difficult. , Sent to the door to be taken advantage of? I mean, it is of course a good thing for close allies to share the risk. Even if there is no result in the end, you can accumulate experience and reduce costs.”

Rabo Butler shook his head with a smile, "Alan, you misunderstood. I believe that Whitehall's professional ethics in this regard is fine, Europe cooperates, and the Prime Minister also supports it."

This is a pure lie. The Conservative Party does not have a prime minister who supports European cooperation. It is only facing pressure from the United States. It is always right to report to the group for warmth, even with suspicious allies.

At the current time, will Britain choose to respond enthusiastically to France's overtures, or is it because it is unwilling to be held hostage by the United States? hand it over.

"That's no problem. I will try my best to reach a wide range of cooperation projects that are beneficial to the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson made a solemn promise, "Although it may not be appropriate to do so based on my friendship with the United States, it is still possible. There is really no way. Let the United States know how powerful the United Kingdom is, which will help establish a more equal relationship."

Rabo Butler nodded. Although he didn't understand how to implement the establishment of a more equal relationship in Alan Wilson's mouth, and what it had to do with military cooperation, this NATO foreign ministers' meeting was indeed annoying, but The French rushed to the front and assumed the main firepower. In fact, the British were just as dissatisfied.

After receiving the authorization, Alan Wilson immediately learned about the position of the Ministry of Defense from his father-in-law.

"Let my son have a taste of Britain's long-standing hegemony of public opinion." Alan Wilson blew a whistle. In the reaction stop incident, the public opinion attack in Britain was considered a small attempt, but Kennedy used Germany to divert the attack on the US government.

In the first round, Britain and the United States had a tie, and the Germans suffered a dull loss. This time, Alan Wilson started with the flying coffin f104 fighter jets that were installed in large numbers in Germany.

"Quoting German reports, why does Hartmann, the world's best pilot, oppose the deployment of f104 fighter jets, and why f104 fighter jets have the nickname of flying coffins."

"Every f104 fighter pilot has excellent courage. It reminds me of the Japanese kamikaze special forces on the Pacific battlefield."

"Amazing crash rate, a failed design like a suicide torpedo boat..."

Almost immediately, a spark of public opinion that could start a prairie fire appeared in the eyes of British citizens.Erich Hartmann can be described as famous, known as the number one ace pilot in the history of world air combat.

The halo on his body makes Erich Hartmann shrouded in mystery. In fact, Erich Hartmann is still quite young. He was born in [-] and is only a few years older than Alan Wilson.

As a soldier, this age is far below the age of retirement, and the respected Marshal Mountbatten is still shining.

However, after Erich Hartmann's inspection, he felt that the f104 fighter jet was indeed a failure, so he opposed the deployment of the Federal Republic of Germany, but his fierce opposition could not shake Germany's determination to express friendship with the United States.

At this moment, Britain came back like lightning, and justice fell from heaven, which put Germany in an extremely embarrassing situation.The pervasiveness of British public opinion made the Germans know that the fighter jets they rely on most in their country's air force turned out to be the failure of the US Air Force.

This is not over yet. The British media continued their efforts and dug out that the F-104 fighter jets in the U.S. Air Force are rarely in service. The fighter jets in the combat wing have even been retired. They are not used as the main fighter jets at all, but are exported to other countries' air forces in large quantities.

The current F-104 fighter jets in the U.S. Air Force are only used for testing to obtain experimental data.This follow-up report directly discredited the F-104 fighter jet.

"Adenauer dare to refute? With the US military stationed in Germany, there is no British military stationed in Germany? He dares to open his eyes and tell nonsense, and the High Commissioner in Germany will find out immediately whether the respected German Chancellor is lying .”

At the French Embassy in London, Alan Wilson talked eloquently in front of Selt, making fun of the silent German government.The remaining British civil servants in the entire British-occupied area wore a pair of trousers with Alan Wilson.

"You Brits are experts in this aspect." Selt sighed, "Is the continent balanced? No one knows better than you Brits."

"Oh, my friend, that was all in the past. The current situation forces us to adopt a cooperative attitude in certain areas. Of course, I know that both France and the United Kingdom have heavy historical burdens. Cooperation may not be possible. They will be intimate, but the basic trust must be established slowly. You French people make trouble, we British people persuade us to fight, there are many flexible ways of fighting, we can’t just use one method.”

Alan Wilson took a sip of goji berries when he said this, supplemented the energy he spent at Vivien Leigh yesterday, and continued, "Recently, I have been active, about the progress of cooperation on strategic transport aircraft. The results are gratifying, whether it is the Ministry of Defense or foreign affairs. Both ministries are open to cooperation in this field."

"Of course, we can also cooperate in many military fields, such as fighter jets."

As soon as Alan Wilson finished speaking, the smile on Selt's face froze slightly, but he immediately replied, "Of course I'm fine personally, but as Sir Wilson said, each of our two countries has historical burdens. It seems that we can have a good start with the strategic transport aircraft, and then gradually expand the cooperation to other fields."

"That's right!" Alan Wilson said with a smile after taking a deep look at the other party.

How could he not know that France did not dare to cooperate with foreign countries on fighter jets, and which link really went wrong.Now France is always in a prickly situation. If the United States uses any means in any country, France may be in a hurry to deal with it.

Other aspects can be overcome, can this engine engine?If France rejects the British engine, it may make Britain feel distrusted, but if it does not reject it, France will not cry if something happens.

The engine is equivalent to the heart of the aircraft, and the French dare not let the British be responsible for their own heart safety.

The reason why Alan Wilson proposed to expand the cooperation to the field of fighter jets was just to take the opportunity to lower the price, so that France would not have little technology to help the United Kingdom, and would always ask for it.

Selter said that he must truthfully inform the French government of Alan Wilson's views on behalf of the United Kingdom, and personally go out to see him off when he leaves.

"Diplomatic work is really rewarding. The so-called covering the sky with one hand." Alan Wilson raised his wrist and glanced at the unpretentious old Patek Philippe that has been out of the factory for ten years.
