British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1306: America in the aftermath

"You don't seem to care about the war at all." Makins sighed when he saw the Supreme Authority's unresponsiveness after finishing the information about the battle of the Delang Valley.

"I just returned home, Sir. It's not that I don't care about the war, but I really don't care about the Vietnam War." Alan Wilson replied calmly, what's the concern of the Vietnam War? A superpower that goes across the Pacific to Southeast Asia just to fight back?

Like the Iraq War, the United States is a bit aggressive, but the problem is that the Vietnam War was a complete failure. Before the US military arrived, South Vietnam was still there, and after it went, South Vietnam was gone.

After more than ten years of effort, as long as the North Vietnamese troops do not go south, the US military will never go north. What is the concern?

No matter how big the hot spot was, there was a time when Alan Wilson was numb to the Vietnam War, and could not wait to fast forward directly to Saigon Iron Fist, "The Vietnam War has nothing to do with us, we just need to applaud the United States when we should be applauding. Now Obviously, the European side is more important."

"Okay, it seems that I focused on the wrong focus." Markins expressed the wrong feeling, and quickly forgot about the intelligence in Southeast Asia, and replaced it with questions that Alan Wilson was interested in.

The source of funds for the guided missile battleship project was donated by British immigrants from Western Australia, at least in name. Consensus of Cabinet, Whitehall and MoD.

Alan Wilson understands this consensus and builds up the latest technology and equipment. Later generations are not warships that do not have similar functions. For example, the Zumwalt-class destroyer is equipped with a considerable number of Zentraedi technology at that time, which is reliable. Lack of, of course, the Zumwalt class is also a pit, the biggest effect on the US Navy is the appearance of science fiction, and that's it.

Considering that the United States is trying an all-nuclear fleet, it seems that the missile battleship is a wrong way to compare the two. However, Alan Wilson is very clear that the all-nuclear fleet is also a pit, and all the nuclear-powered cruisers in the United States have been retired early, giving way to conventional power.

As long as it can really satisfy the U.S. Navy, the Virginia-class nuclear-powered cruiser will not be retired early. Early retirement means that this thing is not up to standard.

In the previous discussion, this class of test-type missile battleships abandoned the idea of ​​nuclear power, although the tonnage of the Avant-garde class is sufficient for nuclear power.

Since it is an experimental nature, many novel design concepts can be tried, and the final result will be the same fate as the Zumwalt-class destroyer. All anti-ship, air defense, and Galileo systems should be considered. Phased array radar is not a new technology. As for the layout of the Aegis radar, Alan Wilson has seen the strange layout of the Calcutta class in India. It is not a problem for people who can copy shells. As for how to overcome difficulties, that is the matter of scientists.

"The electronic systems of the two Eagles have to be replaced, and the steam catapults have to be refitted, which is also a lot of money." Markins flipped through the documents and found a place to spend money, "But this is Mountbatten. The arrangement before the marshal's departure should not be disturbed."

"If the modification of the heavy aircraft carrier is disturbed, our country will really be helpless. It must be preserved, maybe there is a good place." Alan Wilson did not know what he was thinking of, and suddenly expressed his revolutionary optimism. , If he remembered correctly, a certain big country has long been interested in aircraft carriers.

I also bought the Melbourne aircraft carrier whose steam catapults were not removed. Of course, this is not all. After the defeat in the Vietnam War, the United States once sincerely wanted to express its sincerity. Hui Yihui, a big country, even prepared to put an aircraft carrier that served in World War II. Selling to a big country, of course, in the end, because of the price, there is no final transaction.

The benefits in the eyes of the United States and the benefits of the Soviet Union are not the same thing. The benefits in the eyes of the United States are considered benefits when they normally sell weapons to you. For example, the $50 million labor fee provides nuclear power technical support for the Intrepid nuclear submarine.

If at that time, the United States has this idea, Alan Wilson can sell the Eagle to a big country at the same price that the United States sold the aircraft carrier of World War II, and bring an extra set of steam catapults. Isn’t it more conscientious than Americans in business?

There is no problem with the replacement of heavy equipment in the Royal Navy, such as aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. The shelf of the world navy is stable, but the situation on destroyers and frigates is not optimistic.

Once the construction of the guided missile battleship Mountbatten is completed, the above test weapons will also be applied to the **** force. After all, the aircraft carrier cannot go to sea by itself. The new generation of destroyers should also be planned, otherwise it would not be suitable for the new aircraft carriers after the war to carry a bunch of Daddy-class destroyers and frigates.

"Talk to the representatives of the shipbuilding industry. I'm going to take a break for a few days. You go on my behalf." Alan Wilson has just returned, and now he just wants to be comforted by the richest woman.

Immediately Pamela Mountbatten will return to Perth again. He now has to play the obligation of a good husband and spend more time with his wife during this time.

"Actually, you support the shipbuilding industry, which is not in line with the original intention of free trade." Pamela Mountbatten wondered why her husband's efforts had a soft spot for the Navy. Do you have the same naval dream as your father?

"I will support all profitable industries, whether it is successful or not. Most countries in the world believe that free trade is a good thing, but not the United States. The United States is against free trade, but it is different from the Soviet Union. I don't believe you. Look at how many years Boeing has banned the Comet from entering the United States, until Boeing has come up with a decent model." Alan Wilson was full of contempt, and he did not mention the fact that Boeing dropped several passenger planes in the future. .

If you change to any airline, this is the end of the inevitable collapse. For example, the Comet airliner in history has disappeared.

But the U.S. directly brought Boeing back with $60 billion. What is too big to fail? This is!

Many high-end companies in the United States did not crush their opponents by virtue of their technological content, but the national treasure companies of other countries made a mistake and disappeared. However, American companies have always survived with the support of the government. The technical barriers of these surviving companies have grown stronger, so European companies are not rivals.

It is precisely because the United States does this that the United States hates the countries of the Soviet system. Because of this, socialism is more skilled.

Not to mention the countries with the Soviet system, the UK under the Labour Party was very proficient in industrial capital injection and integration, but the Soviet system was not very good at industrial upgrading. Consolidating existing advantages is very useful.

At the same time that the United States was conducting ground combat in Southeast Asia for the first time, Donald, the long-lost U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, came to the door again, this time for a purpose that even Alan Wilson did not expect. He was here to talk about arms sales, which almost surprised the supreme authority, and hurriedly asked what he wanted to buy.

"Tiger gunship." Donald pointed out what he wanted as soon as he opened his mouth. The Vietnam battlefield was in full swing, and the United States soon found that gunships were suitable for local combat. This discovery coincided with the original discovery in France, but then the U.S. military discovered that the gunships it is using now are not as good as the Tiger gunships that have bloomed all over Europe.

This is of course, the Tiger gunship is the Apache, of course the Americans find it easy to use. Knowing the other party's purpose, Alan Wilson said with an embarrassed expression, "My friend, this is one of the few high-quality weapons in the UK in recent years. The export is very good, and it has been exported to European countries and Middle East countries."

The Vietnam War was called the Helicopter War because of the local environment. The United States did not pay much attention to helicopters before the Vietnam War, because the United States had a strong air superiority. If there is any problem, it is enough to call the Air Force to solve it, although the United States Army is equipped with a large number of helicopters. , but it is mostly used to transport troops. Although the helicopter is also equipped with weapons, it is not specially used for combat.

As soon as this battle started, helicopters were continuously shot down by Soviet-style individual missiles. I have to say that when casualties are involved, the US military has always responded very quickly. The environment in Vietnam and the battle damage caused by the attack during the helicopter troop transport process, Let the US military quickly realize that the United States is insufficient in the field of helicopters.

Looking back now, it seems that because of the limited size and advantages of the British Air Force, UU reading www.uukanshu. com's gunships to deal with the Soviet ground forces in Europe are not a second-best solution for lack of capability, but are very useful and quite useful, especially the weapons that the US military needs now.

The H-21 helicopters still in use by the U.S. military today, the search and rescue helicopters in 1945, and the CH-47 transport helicopters are all equipped with weapons, but they are unusable. The uh-1 helicopter is the most widely used helicopter by the US military at present, but it is not a specialized armed helicopter. Only then did the Americans discover that the UK is at the forefront in the field of armed helicopters.

"So?" Alan Wilson said in his heart that Apache is of course good. It is an evergreen tree comparable to **52. The United States has been in service until the 21st century, which shows its reliability.

"Sir Wilson, everyone in Washington knows that you are the best foreign friend with the United States and even the U.S. military," Donald stressed. "The strength of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is beyond doubt."

"But I can't let my wife's products become the burden of this special relationship. The sales of Tiger gunships are very good. They have been equipped with more than 20 countries and sold more than a thousand." Alan Wilson looked straight. Looking at Donald, "This star product? Mr. Ambassador, you know that as long as you think about the scientific research strength of the United States, competitors will appear immediately."

The supreme authority does not want to refuse. It is useless to ban the export of such weapons. The United States is fully capable of producing similar products, but he did not realize it before. He just told the other side bluntly that this is the military industry of Mountbatten Group. The flagship product of the industry is of great significance and needs to be paid more.
