Chapter 1589 There are always new hot spots
British Civil Servants Chapter 1589 There are always new hot topics
"The Typhoon fighter jet is the weapon that best demonstrates the technological strength of the British Empire." Alan Wilson said with an embarrassed look on his face, "It also caused other countries to imitate it."
After being irritated that other countries, especially the American McDonnell Douglas Company, had followed suit disgracefully, Alan Wilson changed the subject and said, "Of course, dear Prince, I have always sympathized with the Arabs. This is known to many of my friends. Well, in a sense, the Typhoon is much more important than the two Eagle-class aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier is just an old platform from World War II, but the Typhoon fighter jet is completely different. It is the latest technological crystallization, not an old product that is approaching retirement age."
Prince Bandar knew very well that Britain was waiting for a price, and he seemed to be refusing, but explaining so much just showed that there was a way, so he also tried to test, "I wonder if I can visit the Typhoon production line. If there are any difficulties, if."
"There is no difficulty in this." Alan Wilson agreed immediately. The leader of the Peace Cult world should be treated like this.
After all, it is Pamela Mountbatten's property. With just one sentence, Alan Wilson could even arrange for Prince Bandar first and then tell Pamela Mountbatten. In the face of such a respectable guest, all kinds of British people Weapons production factories should be undefended.
"Saudi Arabia is a good buyer." After Alan Wilson returned home, he told the truth about Prince Bandar's visit. Of course, he also hoped that the richest woman would keep it strictly confidential at this stage.
Otherwise, you may be cut off. For example, the proud French people were once robbed of their love by the United States.
At present, if France knew about Saudi Arabia's arms purchase ideas, it would not be so easy to compete with the United Kingdom. France's third-generation fighter Mirage 2000 fighter jet has just entered the production stage. Why can't it be put into service next year? More than half of this year has passed.
Even if the Mirage 2000 fighter jet is already in service, the current model cannot be compared with the Typhoon. The Mirage 2000 fighter jet is considered a relatively small fighter of the same generation.
According to the truth that bigger is more beautiful, more is better, the potential of the Mirage 2000 fighter is restricted. In the face of a typhoon, it is almost like the MiG 29 next to the Su 27.
"The countries in the Middle East are indeed good arms buyers." Pamela Mountbatten responded with a smile as expected, "Saudi Arabia's economic strength is still higher than that of Yinlak, and it has the largest cash flow among the Middle East countries."
"Maybe it will promote the development of the British military industry." Alan Wilson finally remembered during the discussion that the scale of this arms sale was so large that chatting more would help open up a treasure trove of memories, like this A one-time arms sale.
The United States accounts for most of the world's largest arms sales, including Saudi Arabia's hundreds of billions of dollars in arms sales orders decades later. But few people know that the first modern huge arms sales also started from the United Kingdom. Like many things, The UK made a start, but then it disappeared.
This was the Saudi arms sales in the 1980s. The UK sold more than 100 fighter jets, with a total order value of 43 billion pounds. Saudi Arabia did not have so much cash, so it used a variety of payment methods, including one using oil. Terms of payment.
Of course, the 43 billion pounds of arms sales in memory must be taken into account that the original world pound has depreciated many times, and the pound in this world has only depreciated once after the war. Now one pound is still exchanged for 2.8 US dollars, so
It may be difficult to catch up with history in terms of total amount, but how will you know the result if you don't try?
Taking into account the strength of the pound, Alan Wilson set the bottom line at 20 to 30 billion pounds. He did not think this idea was too much and could show his conscience in other aspects. Tiger gunships did not know if Saudi Arabia was interested.
, which is also a weapon against armored forces.
If Saudi Arabia can show sincerity, Alan Wilson can even provide guidance on where to buy weapons that the UK will definitely not sell, such as strategic-level ballistic missiles.
Raising a child takes only a short time, and the supreme authority also has a good son who can shoulder important responsibilities and make connections, but he has to get a 2% commission from the strategic missile order.
"You can't take this kind of order by yourself, and you'll easily make others jealous, so you must have an idea in your heart of how much to give to others, so that someone can help you get it."
Pamela Mountbatten nodded exceptionally obediently. The richest woman is always so obedient at this time, "Of course I also know this. We must unite all the forces that can be united."
"There is no definite news now, but I suggest that when the matter is almost settled, Mrs. Thatcher's son Mark can join in. The Falkland War has caused the prime minister's support rate to skyrocket, and we must also think of a way.
It’s the prime minister’s trump card. Theoretically, I don’t want to have any conflict with the prime minister, but it’s always right to be prepared for this kind of thing.”
"I listen to you." Pamela Mountbatten said with eyes full of admiration, "My dear, you always have a long-term perspective."
"Stop making trouble, they have all been kicked out." Alan Wilson said in a calm and nonchalant manner, entering the PUA stage smoothly and naturally, "If you continue to make nonsense, I will beat your ass into eight petals."
Alan Wilson arranged for Prince Bandar to go to the factories of Typhoon fighter jets, Tornado fighter-bombers, and Tiger helicopter gunships. These were all aerial weapon platforms that shined in the hands of the British during the Falklands War.
"Can the French weapons fight a war? French tanks are thin and bulky. The French Mirage is the strategic bomber with the shortest range in the world. The French navy is even more ridiculous. We admire France's insistence on independence, but they do everything themselves.
, it doesn’t matter how well you do it.”
Now that British weapons have transformed into star weapons that have been tested in wars, those French weapons that have not been tested in wars cannot be compared with British weapons.
The country that can intercept Hu's order this time is actually the United States, but if the United States cannot break through the siege of the Israeli lobby, it will not become a threat. As for French weapons, the United Kingdom can crush this dubious ally with its quality.
"Afghanistan has increased its troops on the border with the Pashtun areas of Pakistan." Alan Wilson took the intelligence from MI6 and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs if the Americans knew about this.
"Why don't you tell the Americans right away that our relationship with Pakistan is not that close? After independence, they felt that Britain was biased towards India, and they were embracing the United States."
Although Pakistan and Prince Bandar are both peace sects, they are treated completely differently here by Alan Wilson. You can see that Prince Bandar shows awe-inspiring demeanor in every move he makes.
Looking at Pakistan, Alan Wilson couldn't think of anything the UK needed, with the exception of Pakistani red salt, which is popular in Europe.
Alan Wilson worked very hard to add the IQ tax on Pakistani red salt. As for the agents everywhere, they all know it. They are all goddesses of the previous era, ladies with the same status as their wives, Pakistani
When it comes to safety, we should look to President Reagan, not the UK.
After work that day, Alan Wilson politely asked Mrs. Thatcher’s son Mark out and said pleasantly, “The cash-out of the nationalization of the apartment has been completed.”
Mark immediately expressed his gratitude to the cabinet secretary in front of him, and heard Alan Wilson shake his head indifferently and said, "Mark, in fact, in my eyes, you are just like my own son. There are still many opportunities in the future. You have to know that in the future,
From your point of view, your advantage over most people in this world is that you should be able to see these opportunities. But whether you can seize it or not, you still need to practice more. It takes a long time for ordinary people to recover from a failure. You don't have to
, you can withstand countless failures, so be more courageous.”
"Secretary-general, my mother is a very strict person. She only cares about her own political issues and rarely interferes in my and my sister's lives. It would be great if she were like you." Mark said with empathy, obviously for his mother,
I feel bad about not stimulating my innate talents for a long time.
You have a lot of talent. Your biggest talent is that you won first place in the sprint. Oh, I forgot, it was tied for first place. Mrs. Thatcher's two children are twins.
Seeing that time is running out in 1982, people around the world are fond of the new and dislike the old. Argentina has become a temporary protagonist. The current hot event that the people are paying attention to is that Afghanistan and Pakistan are shelling each other.
Tensions arose as a result of the confrontation with each other.
As the former sovereign state, the United Kingdom, of course, could not stay out of the matter and issued a stern statement, stating that the tension between the two countries was not conducive to world peace.
"What Washington means is that if a major country intervenes on the ground, the free world will stand firmly behind it to curb the Soviet Union's ambition to dominate the world." Wick conveyed the latest communication with the United States.
"The purpose of the United States is too obvious." Alan Wilson muttered, and then began to practice the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. "Washington's attitude is London's attitude, and it should be conveyed to the ambassador in China."
It is impossible to kill with a borrowed knife. The United States does have a lot of scapegoats, but they are all countries where the United States has troops stationed. A certain big country is definitely an exception. No one will compare with the 50,000 tanks of the Soviet Union. The United Kingdom is clamoring for the Soviet Union.
This is because there was a relationship between France and Germany, Britain, France, Germany and the Soviet Union. Basically, the closer the distance, the more harmonious the relationship.
The people of the world did not have to wait too long. At the end of October, the Afghan government claimed that the war to recover the lost land broke out. It was said that it wanted to recover all the Pashtun land.

"We hope that the two countries can sit down and have a good talk. Peace is the mainstream in this world..." Britain expressed regret for the outbreak of war between the two countries and hoped that the United States would exert its international influence.
