British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1283: Balance South Asia
Latest website: Pakistan's attitude change after the decisive battle on the top of the Himalayas is only the most obvious of the many direct effects of the war.
In fact, in terms of the two hard indicators of Pakistan's population and land area, it is normal to be unable to beat India, but as a base for offshore balance, even Pakistan that has lost Bangladesh is equally qualified, not to mention that Bangladesh is still in Pakistan's hands. The power to fight is no joke.
Now that a major country has proved that India's vocation is nothing more than a paper tiger, Pakistan's idea that India is nothing more than this has naturally caused a change in attitude.
Of course, Pakistan, the weaker side, sees Big Brother teach his opponent a lesson, but he is eager to try, and may not have any good fruit to eat. Just like Ukraine thinks that the United States can humiliate Russia, so can I. India's lack of temper in defeat on the roof of the world does not mean that it will endure being looked down upon by Pakistan.
Since India's independence, nationalism has been very high, and Nehru was also coerced by this kind of public opinion, so he refused to give up an inch of land, thinking that diplomacy can make a big country retreat.
Now that the war is over, India's nationalism has not improved. Pakistan is humiliating India at this time. There is a high probability that India will not let it go.
The cabinet secretary had a greasy look on his face, and the slight expression on his face surprised Markins, "Alan, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about the Indians' high opinion, can we have an offshore balance from our point of view?" Alan Wilson took out a cigar and lit it on the smoke, "Markins, you know, war. It will bring demand, and even if not, it is the duty of the UK to bring the world into balance."
Chaos is a ladder, it is normal for Alan Wilson to think so. If India has had a good time after independence, doesn't it mean that the British colonization of India was wrong? From this point of view, we should also thank a certain country.
"My friend John, I haven't been back to London for a long time." Alan Wilson blurted out, "Holding a meeting of colonial commissioners, I want to track down the shortfalls of overseas companies. It's too much, and transfer payments are addicting. right?"
Many colonies that don't make money have been thrown out, but they start to make no money. If they don't make money, forget it. What does it mean to make ends meet?
The oil pipelines in South Sudan have been repaired. Is there no oil in the pipelines? It also made up for the loss of the Kenyan riot. The Indians who suffered the loss have all returned to China. Where is the loss?
Markins nodded, but did not leave, still staring at the supreme authority, Alan Wilson said first, "The matter of the strategic bomber has been decided. The current British national defense needs are not suitable for strategic bombers. The Vulcan bomber is enough. There may be room for some improvement on the prototype, and no new projects will be considered.”
Markins has come here a few times because he is a lobbyist for the Air Force, but there is only so much British military spending in a year, and Alan Wilson has no choice. Britain's 200 strategic bombers are already somewhat surplus, and these bombers are completely sufficient regardless of the existing number and strategic targets.
In fact, with the improvement of missile performance, some of the short legs of British strategic bombers have been made up, and air-launched missiles have improved British air power.
If you don't believe me, take a look at several powerful countries in the next few decades. You use Figure 95, I use H-6, and he uses B52. Everyone has a bright future.
H20 is not in a hurry. The various cold technologies in the United States that are heavier and more expensive than gold and other black technologies are not used. Of course, he has no objection to the British keeping strategic bombers. Didn't they get out a few squadrons and release them to Australia? Why not do it to save costs.
However, the potential of the strategic bomber, after a professional assessment by Whitehall, mainly by the Cabinet Secretary, believes that it is no longer necessary to continue to invest.
This is not like the navy. The navy has accepted the support of the Soviet Union because Indonesia. Currently, there are Australians to pay the bill.
After all, Markins tried his best to maintain the responsibilities of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, but was rejected by Alan Wilson, jokingly, "If you are an official of the US Department of Defense, there are some reasons to persuade me, after all, it is now strategically bombing North Vietnam. It's not Britain, it's America, but we're not going to be in that war, so there's nothing we can do."
The main reason is that the strategic bombers placed in Australia have met Australia's needs. People Australia thinks so, and he has no choice.
"Well, it seems destined to let the Air Force down." Markins smiled bitterly, "Who let the Navy take care of it, by the way, I heard that British immigrants in Australia are donating money, your wife will not have anything to do with this matter. Bar?"
"What a joke," Ellen Wilson flatly denied. "Pamela is so busy with her own business that she doesn't have time to do such a boring thing. She has absolutely nothing to do with it."
Pamela Mountbatten is indeed busy mining, but the mining location is not Australia, but New Guinea. In later generations, New Guinea is rich in mineral resources, with large reserves of gold, copper, oil and natural gas; Gera, Papua Province, Indonesia The Sperger Gold Mine is one of the largest gold mines in the world. In addition to containing more than 3,000 tons of gold, it also has huge reserves of copper. The Kepamono Oilfield on the Paradise Bird Peninsula is one of the largest oilfields in Indonesia.
The richest woman got the guidance of the secretary-general and found the Panguna copper and gold mine, taking her status as the world's No. 1 mining giant to a higher level.
After all, for such a long time, Alan Wilson asked his wife to buy public opinion, and he asked people to donate money, so he always had to show his sincerity.
Besides, who doesn't like something like gold, de Gaulle will stab the United States in the back, and the United Kingdom will never do this because of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. Make some hard money.
Of course, the richest women have always had equal interests. Don't think that Alan Wilson didn't know that the son of the chief of staff of the Air Force also had an industry in Australia, and this time he also joined the exploration.
Among the various shares are Dutch, Australian, and even local indigenous chiefs, who are recruited from the British South Pacific Territory managed by Eder, and mining equipment and daily necessities are provided through the British mainland and Malaya. All aspects are taken care of.
Alan Wilson is also not greedy. Currently, Australia produces 200 tons of gold a year, the British Gold Coast has an annual output of 100 tons, and New Guinea can produce 100 tons of gold annually. There are also British troops stationed in Australia, and strategic bombers. The United Kingdom is not stingy with the latest aircraft carrier, and it is generous enough to Australia.
It is precisely because of this that Australia has forgotten Churchill's operation and gave Britain an opportunity to bridge its relationship with Australia.
The most important thing is that Malaya's position is over Indonesia. As long as this colony is still being held by the British, Australia will not be half-hearted towards the British.
After reassuring Markins, Alan Wilson continued to work hard for the review of military spending. After a while, the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Department came over. If Frank still thinks it is too much, the two still need to discuss how to use military spending to keep the most. combat power.
The Royal Navy cannot be weakened, not because Marshal Mountbatten was born in the Navy, but because the Royal Navy can theoretically be equal to the US Navy. The first point is that the replacement of the Royal Navy has been completed, and now all that needs to be done is to upgrade the existing warships, such as installing new radars and so on. The U.S. Navy will now enter a cycle of change, and the warships of World War II will enter the stage of retirement.
Another point is that the British aircraft carrier is not the same as the American aircraft carrier. The United States is pursuing a full nuclear fleet, and the new British aircraft carrier is still conventionally powered.
The overhaul cycle of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is 18 months. If the aircraft carrier enters the overhaul cycle, the rest period will often be longer than 18 months, generally reaching three years; while the rest cycle with a small maintenance amount will be longer than ten years. Eight months is shorter, eighteen months is actually an average cycle time.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, one-third of the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States are engaged in combat missions, one-third are engaged in maritime training, and another third are resting in ports or entering factories for maintenance. Of course, during wartime, its training, rest and maintenance cycle will be shortened, and the number of aircraft carriers that can perform combat missions will increase compared to usual, and more than half of the aircraft carriers can be put into combat.
When the United States faces threats, it can use most of its aircraft carriers for combat. The United Kingdom can do this in peacetime. Whoever makes the all-nuclear fleet really difficult to serve, the United States is the hardest. Later, the U.S. Navy regarded the concept of an all-nuclear fleet as fart, and cut everything except nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines.
Therefore, the navy part of military expenditure should be resolutely reserved~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The army is not a big problem. The current military expenditure is the navy and the air force.
When the U.S. strategic bombing of North Vietnam had become a normal event, Alan Wilson convened a meeting of colonial commissioners to deduct the profit from these high commissioners who played with reinvestment and transfer payments.
"My friend John, do you know that there is a military conflict between India and Pakistan?" Facing the returning Persian Gulf High Commissioner, Alan Wilson asked his friend, "I don't know what the Arab countries think, everyone is a religion, don't they? Aren't they sympathetic to Pakistan? Always face the bully India."
"Alan, just say what you think." John was also a local commissioner. He knew that his colleague didn't hold his fart well, and he definitely wanted to mix it up.
"We all know that India's resources are relatively scarce compared to its own population, especially oil." Alan Wilson raised his head with a sympathetic tone, "Arab countries can use oil as a weapon, of course, not always, but It can be used when the time is right.”
