British civil servant

"You don't seem to agree with India's combat effectiveness." Mountbatten could see that his son-in-law was insincere.

"No!" Alan Wilson, who is well versed in the ways of two-faced people, denied it, but felt sorry for his conscience. He really couldn't open his eyes and talk nonsense on the Indian issue, adding, "For thousands of years, the Indian army When it was most effective, it was called the British Indian Army. The last time it was named in history can be traced back to the time of Alexander the Great."

"That question is irrelevant, Marshal. The point is that this is an opportunity to enhance British influence. If it was the Soviets who used some kind of forward policy, it would be a horrible sight to imagine, but what about the Indians? We still have to do India well Prepare for defeat, and then expect a miracle to happen."

"But if the miracle doesn't happen, we have to consider how to maximize the interests of the UK. This requires a good attitude from the Ministry of Defense. Of course, I don't think it is a problem for the respected Minister of Defense, Mr. Profumo."

Ever since Profumo was involved in the Soviet spy case, he has been completely controlled by Alan Wilson, just like the prime minister controls Han Xiandi.

The world at this time is like the calm before the storm. There are two conflicts that can shock the world are brewing, the Cuban Missile Crisis that shocked the first and second worlds, and the decisive battle on the top of the Himalayas that shocked the third world.

And people all over the world still don't know anything about it, and they don't even know that there are ambitious people who still want to make a fuss about such a dangerous event.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and the third fire

How to help, especially to maximize the interests of the United Kingdom, is a big problem.

To put it simply, of course it is to save India, but it cannot be really saved.But it will not be like Ukraine, not even willing to write a blank check.

Britain's military power still needs to be moved, which is also good for Britain.

"Can you highlight the importance of the Royal Navy? Like this kind of global troop mobilization, do you count on the Belfast strategic transport aircraft? Not to mention that a few have not been built yet, and there are orders from Germany and France. Even if there is a strategic transport aircraft formation that can be relied upon, it cannot be used because the aircraft fly too fast."

What if Nehru really thinks that I, Daying, came here to join the war?Should the UK join or not?Why don't you join? India still has a lot of British investment so far, and the import and export of the entire country are still settled in pounds.

What about the import and export of Xiangjiang, and the industrial base of Malaya?In both places, the Chinese occupy the main population, and they are the support of the current United Kingdom, which can still be called the British Empire.

Britain is only aid, even if it stops at the threat of war, it can still ensure the smooth operation of the two places.But you can't really put the British armed forces into the war.

In essence, the biggest effect of this war on the United Kingdom is the same as that of Ukraine on NATO.

Britain can provide solidarity within all scopes, but it cannot really put its own military power into it, just like NATO will never go to war with Russia because of Ukraine. This is the same reason.

"In a sense, the benefits of being successful are huge, but the risks are also huge, almost like dancing on a tightrope." Mountbatten was a little surprised that his son-in-law was quite adventurous at times.

"The risk is still controllable, and it's not facing the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "If this strategic transportation can demonstrate the role of the navy, I believe the marshal will be happy."

Mountbatten raised his eyebrows, and his son-in-law never said that India would lose. All the arrangements were based on the consequences of India's crushing defeat. , it shouldn’t be too miserable.”

"Not for a country with a real army power, but for a country that thinks it is a country with a strong army." Alan Wilson didn't have to answer the question with the words of a civil servant blocked by two ends, but he could only answer this way.

The top-heavyness of the Indian army is a historical problem, and it has started since independence.Moreover, there is also a problem with the deployment of the front line. A serious military power will never put heavy troops on the front line. That is what Ukraine will do.

But this is what India does. The forward policy is known from the name, and the army layout is top-heavy.Alan Wilson estimated that once the first-line troops are divided and surrounded, it will be a problem whether India has second-line troops.

In fact, at this moment, the Indian soldiers on the front line are cursing Lieutenant General Kaur, who made the forward policy, as a donkey.

Marshal Mountbatten recognized what his son-in-law said. This time, the rush to aid can demonstrate the importance of the navy in global troop projection. For this reason, he revised his son-in-law's opinion. Garrison transported to India.

"I believe that this time is enough for the two countries to solve their own problems." Mountbatten thinks this marching route is more appropriate. If Malaya's Pacific Fleet is mobilized to go to East Africa and return to India, such a turnaround?Clearing away responsibility is a bit too obvious.

This cannot be explained. The Pacific Fleet can be mobilized to go to India, but even a little army cannot be mobilized to deter it.

It is much more reasonable to use the power of the Mediterranean Fleet, the distance is also very far, and the vacancy left by the Mediterranean Fleet can also be replaced by the Atlantic Fleet, which is more logical from the naval point of view.

Asked about the transfer time, Alan Wilson nodded and said, "I believe that one month is enough time. If it doesn't work, you can reduce the speed appropriately. In case the fleet is still on the way after the end of the war, you can send Belfast The strategic transport plane was fully loaded with British soldiers and landed in Goa. Of course, the national flag should be prepared a little more, and the reporters accompanying the army should also be prepared.”

"Oh, the Indians will definitely thank you." Mountbatten twitched the corner of his mouth, discussing the transfer of the navy in a serious manner, because this sentence added a lot of comedy.

"Of course, no one loves India more than me." Alan Wilson didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stated his position, and he had a showdown. He will definitely stand on India's side. "I believe that the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting in December will Prime Minister Nehru will thank us." If Nehru will attend!

In fact, this year's Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting is held in October.Alan Wilson, after persuading the supreme authority Norman Brooke, decided to hold it in December.

At that time, it was more suitable for India, which returned from a big victory, and it could also demonstrate India's influence.

But if there is another more likely result, this time the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting may become a different flavor. Alan Wilson estimates that Nehru will not come to participate.

The one-morning vacation was over, and Alan Wilson was going back to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When he took a taxi, he still muttered Timaya's name inside.

Back in his office, Alan Wilson had already made up his mind and decided to use Timaya, the former chief of staff, to direct a scene of self-destruction of the Great Wall. This must be operated by a professional media similar to the BBC. I don’t know him Dear wife, will you make recharging the media a priority when you arrive in Perth?

The current situation is unknown. Although there is a special relationship between the Five Eyes Alliance and British India that once laid mines, Alan Wilson knew that there were two heats brewing, but it is still difficult to estimate which one will pay the water first. From the perspective, he naturally hopes to pay the water surface first in the decisive battle at the top of the Himalayas.

Once India's forces surfaced in advance, the United Kingdom could take military mobilization without delay.

By the time the Cuban missile crisis became known to the whole world, the British navy had already set off, and there was no turning back. At least at the military level, Britain could leave the vortex of North America.

Asia is booming, and the British mainland is in Europe, so it will not have an impact on the UK.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alan Wilson took the time to light a third fire and sent a telegram to Northern Rhodesia.

The war in Katanga, Congo, has been going on for more than a year. Grace sometimes wonders if he really came here to be an internationalist fighter. For Northern Rhodesia, the low-intensity fighting state is not enough. How unacceptable, the loss of their armed forces is not too big.

But some doubts have spread in the army, and it will inevitably not jeopardize his own status after a long time.

Just like Alan Wilson in London, waiting for which of the two hotspots to surface first, Grace is also waiting for when the time Alan Wilson said will come. The two are in different continents, and the mood at this time is equally tormented.

During this period of time, Grace became more and more silent. If things go on like this, he might move towards a philosopher. At this moment, a man in military uniform pushed the door in, "Colonel, a telegram from London."

Grace jumped up directly. Such a big reaction startled the man who came in. Before he could react, the telegram in his hand had been snatched by Grace. The colonel in his eyes waved, "You go out first."

"Grace, my friend, this time is very boring, or you are living in suffering and waiting, and you may curse me many times in your heart, right? Your waiting is justified, if you believe my people Now, you can do what you want to do."

"Pay more attention to international news these days, and then you will know why this time is the most suitable."

The paragraphs in the telegram were not long, but for Grace, there was still a sense of unfinished business at this moment.

"Call the freedom fighter Tshombe over here." Grace picked up the phone, bared white teeth so hideous.

He couldn't wait any longer, and he was going to do it now, which was also the purpose of his coming to Lubumbashi.

Chetnik, who followed Grace every step of the way, has been deployed around the Northern Rhodesian armed forces.

About Tshombe's Katanga Independence Army, and the United Kingdom stood by each other and gathered forces from both sides to counterattack.The two had a very pleasant conversation. Grace kept Chong Bo until dark, and went out to see him off with some reluctance.

"Reinforcements will come soon, Lumumba's ambition will not succeed." Grace vowed.

"This is the best." Tsung Bo didn't doubt him, then got into the car and disappeared into the night.

The sky was dark, but Lubumbashi was still calm, at least Tshombe thought so, he thought it was wrong.

On this day, he, a Katanga strengthener, was attacked by Lumumba's armed forces inclined to Lumumba. This was a very successful beheading operation, almost equivalent to completing this feat in the enemy's stronghold.

At the same time, some troops, chanting slogans to drive the colonists out, launched an attack in Lubumbashi.Buildings were set ablaze and the Congolese great city was engulfed in a bloody fray.

Half of Katanga province is still in the hands of the independent armed forces, especially in Lubumbashi. Many citizens are at a loss and tremble at the sudden fighting. The gunshots rang out all night, and people listened to it constantly. The sound of guns and guns spent an unforgettable night.

"The respected independence leader, Mr. Tshombe, was killed in a well-planned attack by Lumumba elements last night. But the rebellious troops have been wiped out. Thankfully, the city is now safe."

Overnight, the whole of Lubumbashi fell into the hands of Grace, and the head of Katanga's independence died.

The first thousand and 170 chapters and four chapters of India must win

This was just the beginning. The news about the betrayal of the independent leader of Katanga by his subordinates was spread by Grace. Almost immediately, as Tshombe's best friend, he forcibly disarmed the black people around Lubumbashi. To reorganize, to avenge his friends.

It doesn't matter whether others don't believe it, Grace did say that, according to the framework of the Balkan military organization preserved by these Slavs, Northern Rhodesia will carry out a second reinforcement.

But this time the purpose is not to come to aid Katanga, but after Grace coerces these blacks as a reason for Tshombe's revenge, to clear the fish that slipped through the net south of Lubumbashi. As for the next step, it is Bray , to cut off this piece of land.

So far, this plan has only reached the first step, and whether it will be successful in the future remains to be studied.At least in the first step at the beginning, there has not been a situation where the plan has not changed quickly.

Grace has conceived many times in the past year, how to incorporate this land into Northern Rhodesia, so he didn't hesitate at all after receiving the telegram, as if he was an old hand.

The sun shines on the earth again, and the battle in Lubumbashi is over. Some Belgian immigrants came out of the shivering, and there were dragged corpses everywhere, and it was unknown how many there were.

This is actually the weirdest part. Almost all the corpses are black. It is easy to find something wrong from an objective point of view, but don’t forget that Belgians are also colonists. In their understanding, only white people are considered human beings. I didn't think about what was wrong with this scene. .

Many black people lost their lives that night, but white people were frightened by one night...

As for the hostile side with Tshombe, that is, the Lumumba government supported by Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, they don’t know anything about the situation in Lubumbashi. Over the past year, the Congolese government forces, with the help of military advisers from the two countries, have fought against the The Danga Independence Army does have the upper hand.

However, the military advisers of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia did not have much experience in tropical rainforest combat to rely on.

The sincerity of the military advisers is sufficient, but limited by objective conditions, the most they can do is to improve the discipline of the Congolese government army.

The Katanga region has an area of ​​60 million square kilometers. Even if the Congolese government forces have the upper hand, they are far away from Lubumbashi. They are completely in the dark about the local situation, and they don’t know the spokesperson of foreign forces in their mouths. The chief culprit who split the motherland said goodbye to this world last night.

Compared with the smooth progress of Northern Rhodesia, it is obviously much more difficult for the famous big country. The Indian army’s marching route conditions are definitely much better than those of its northern neighbors. The good thing is that the marching distance is not long, and Non-facing terrain is less difficult.

Lieutenant General Kaur's battle plan is indeed just like what Admiral Timaya said, it is a pile of shit. It is a pity that Admiral Timayah has not practiced his speech skills. Will say goodbye to the general seat.

The towering Himalayas treat everyone who wants to conquer it fairly, and it is by no means a novelty.Although very strange.

The aim is to hunt the truth, to hunt the good, to hunt the beauty.Although it is the truth of weightlessness, the kindness of distortion, and the cruel beauty.

Humans can live independently without animals, and the latter's survival is completely independent of humans. Perhaps, they will survive better without humans.Therefore, when fighting in this special environment, it is necessary to seek balance and harmony among lives.Humans and lower animals form a symbiotic pattern.

This group of Indian soldiers was helpless in the face of the mountains with a height of 65 degrees, and the commander even cursed the idiots in New Delhi, "We can't listen to those bastards in the staff department, especially Kaul, that is a donkey, a fool. What Why did the 'Forward Policy' build so many scattered strongholds in front? Was it surrounded by one and then wiped out?"

"What about air force support? Isn't it an airdrop? Now it's all on the back of people, fart!"

The commander hung up the phone angrily, and lamented, "It is really a tragedy for India to let a person who has never fought in a day command a war."

He didn't know what the Ministry of Defense in New Delhi was doing in order to formulate a combat plan similar to armed demonstrations.

That's right, it's armed demonstrations. The forward policy is largely based on the premise that when Indians proudly stand up and hold bayonets to show India's courage, the enemy will collapse without fighting.

"Perhaps I came to the Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting for a more glorious image." Thousands of miles away, the British Foreign Office's permanent undersecretary was paying close attention to the important Commonwealth meeting about a month later.

At that time, Nehru will be glorious, or disheartened, to attend or not to attend important meetings of the Commonwealth.

You must know that in the tone revealed by the New Delhi side, it is almost in a tone of encouragement, saying that this time the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Meeting can be used to support Nehru and put pressure on Portugal's Goa ownership issue.

Under normal circumstances, if there is no major event, Nehru will definitely come to London.

It’s okay if you don’t come, there are Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries, so it’s more enjoyable.

While waiting, Alan Wilson had to find something to do for himself. As the chief private secretary, Wick couldn’t just keep his immediate superiors busy. He appeared in a short while with a newspaper in his hand, “India’s brave move forward policy……"

Glancing at the headline of the newspaper whose wife’s sterling recharge had arrived, Alan Wilson borrowed the newspaper bought by Wick and read it with relish. Can the feeling of recharging and not recharging be the same?The money is not spent, but a different way to stay with you.

"Executive Deputy Minister, before we thought that China and India had a lot in common, but we didn't expect that there would be such a day." Wick was obviously also very happy. India's forward policy has been announced, and it is no secret to the whole world.

In fact, from the very beginning, it was impossible for the matter of the Himalayas to have such a great popularity in the UK.Still the same sentence, Pamela Mountbatten has recharged, and she is a pound player.

This is just the beginning, and when the fight officially starts, the heat will be even higher.

This obviously biased newspaper almost has the reasons why a big country has ten victories and a certain big country has lost ten.Of course, when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, it’s not a big deal. This without borders and that without borders are all deceiving ordinary people.

"What do they have in common? What these two countries have in common is not as common as you think." Alan Wilson pondered for a while. If there is anything in common, it should be that they are pro-Soviet.

Not only during the Cold War, they all became pro-Soviet countries, and decades later there are still quite strong pro-Russian sentiments.

This is an objective fact, and there is no need to hide anything.

Russia has been under sanctions for many years, and the economy of the entire country is not as good as a province of a big country. It is definitely not true to say that some pro-Americans are doing it for immigration and to live a better high-class life.

The United States relies on its status as the world's hegemon to attract Chinese, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people who are destined not to go abroad, Russia is obviously much more important than the United States.

The history of Russia as a country, if you say it is a good neighbor, it is absolutely farting.

But it also shows a particularly sincere side in many cases. Without the existence of the Soviet Union, the development of China and India would slow down. If you search all over the world, there will be no second country that will provide industrial system support.

In fact, there is only one country that has accepted a complete set of industrial systems, and India is actually not counted. Although the Soviet Union gave India more support during the Cold War, it did not support India in a systematic way. Whoever made the first contribution to it Lesson learned.

India is also different from its neighbor in the north. India does not border Russia, so the pure benefits are obtained, and the disadvantages are not at all. During the Ukraine war, Russia was almost overwhelmed by the hegemony of public opinion, and the voice of a certain big country could not be heard. .

The ones who are crazy on the Internet are the Indians who are the top five permanent members of YouTube. The Soviet Union has disintegrated for 30 years, and the Indian people still have pro-Russian sentiments. Who said that aid is useless?

In fact, without this border war, it is not impossible for China and India to live in harmony.India also considers itself an oriental civilization, which is different from the self-awareness of Arabs in the Middle East.

Alan Wilson does not think that this war has anything to do with Britain, and this is not to shirk responsibility.

Has Britain allowed India to encroach on Bhutan, Sikkim, and Nepal?There is no McMahon line in these countries. Isn't India encroaching?

Even if Britain did not cross the border, India would adopt a cannibalization policy. The existence of the McMahon Line only gives India more reason to do so. Without this line, India would still seize the disputed area with the idea of ​​taking more and gaining more. .

The western section of Aksai Chinco has nothing to do with the McMahon Line, and India also believes that it should belong to India.Therefore, whether the McMahon Line exists does not delay India's land grab.

Alan Wilson still decided to take the initiative. He must first stir up the heat on the Indian side. If the Cuban missile crisis breaks out, the two things will be connected. ...

"Honey, it's still too objective. It needs to go further on a global scale, at least in the English-speaking world. Simply put, the public opinion that asserts that India will win is not one-sided enough, and it is not violent enough. To shape the public opinion that India cannot fail, That way it doesn't hurt when it falls."

Lady Pamela Mountbatten, a pound player in Perth, took a telegram from her husband and exclaimed, "My God."

If India suffers a crushing defeat, Pamela Mountbatten can't imagine how much public opinion India will suffer. She doesn't know that there is a word of backlash, but she instinctively feels that India will lose a lot.

Chapter 170, the British Choice

Imprinting Sting?On the premise that British pound players made money, the second round of agitation began again.

Everyone from Ireland to Khitan knows about India's brave deeds. The battle for nation-building and the battle for dignity are more than the current public opinion in India.
