Chapter 738: The Whole World Was Almost Frightened!
On the air route from London to Mandalay, an Airbus A320 modified special plane flies smoothly in the night sky at an altitude of 12,000 meters.
As the British Prime Minister's special plane, the various decorations and equipment in this Airbus A320 are naturally world-class. With this special plane, Margaret Thatcher can even receive video signals from satellites in space anytime and anywhere.
Looking at the 43-inch plasma flat-screen color TV in front of her, the picture of the Oriental Union Navy exercises was repeatedly replayed, and Margaret Thatcher picked up her mobile phone to talk to Yang Weiping, and secretly sighed that the Royal Navy of the British Empire had indeed reached the time to completely eliminate and replace it.
Compared with the Mandalay-class amphibious assault ships, the Tiangong Aegis-class missile destroyers, the Irrawaddy-class missile frigates, and the world's first Admiral-class large missile destroyer with a full load displacement of 16,250 tons, the British Royal Navy's expeditionary fleet, which was still fighting the Argentines in the Malvinas Islands at this time, in addition to the experience and tradition of the Royal Navy, the technology and concept are obviously a generation behind the Eastern Union Navy.
The Eastern Union Navy can be said to be a modern naval "freak" that Thatcher personally watched grow step by step from scratch.
Their crews, from soldiers to commanders, were trained by the Royal Navy. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were apprentices of the Royal Navy.
Why are they so far ahead of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, which has a centuries-old glorious tradition, in the design and development of modern advanced ships?
Baron John Young is known for his remarkable achievements in the fields of aerodynamics, aeronautical materials, electronics and computers. But how could he be so proficient in the design of modern naval ships? What else in the world could he not do?
There has never been a shortage of geniuses in this world, but those geniuses are inevitably inferior compared to Sir Yang, the son of God.
As early as the day when North Burma established its independent regime, Margaret Thatcher had a vague sense of the current world situation. It is very likely that Sir Yang will change because of his shift from the field of scientific research to the field of politics.
The economic base determines the social superstructure, which is a common law in world politics.
Sir Young can single-handedly promote the development of global science and technology, so he also has the ability to change the status quo of international politics.
Margaret Thatcher proved to be very wise and right to maintain a good personal friendship with Sir Young as always.
Because, Margaret Thatcher had an expectation in her heart. If the British Empire is to regain its footing at the top of Europe, it is likely to rely on the baron, a lifelong nobleman of the British Empire.
Margaret Thatcher had an in-depth conversation with Archduke Field about this idea. The Grand Duke of Field also agreed with her.
According to Archduke Field, even if Sir Young and Andropov had signed the Joint Declaration of the East Soviet Union, the Eastern Union led by Sir Young would never have completely fallen into the socialist camp. Not only that, but even the Soviet Union may be influenced by the Eastern Union, thus opening up the closed country and relaxing the ideological and ideological struggle. Reintegration into the European family.
The vast majority of European countries, including the United States and France, have complaints. If it were not for the fact that the United States wanted to use its national power to counter the Soviet Union's encroachment on Europe, the British Empire would never have willingly acted as the little brother of the United States.
In their bones, all the nobles and big families of the British Empire are extremely disdainful of the descendants of the exiles and villains who were once exiled by the British Empire in North America.
If the Soviet Union could be persuaded to change its policy towards Europe, Britain would probably have the opportunity to take advantage of the Soviet Union. Take back the interests of the United States in Europe little by little.
Britain must become an important pole in a multipolar world!
This is Margaret Thatcher's goal that she has re-established as British Prime Minister.
The "Jack Wieson Incident" in the Bay of Bengal can be said to have caused the eyes of all countries in the world to fall all over the world.
Why does OUCC dare to challenge the US hegemony in the world again and again?
First, it annexed South Burma, which the United States wanted to keep. Then he came up with the Kra Canal Project, which was openly encircling a Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine in the United States.
Is it because the United States has become a foreign power, or does the Eastern Union really have this kind of confidence and heritage?
Even if Margaret Thatcher had a high opinion of the Eastern Union again and again, Sir Young did not hesitate to use medium-range ballistic missiles to demonstrate the tough attitude of the Eastern Union, which still made Margaret Thatcher feel deeply shocked.
You know, OUCC does this. It's not just a big fireworks in the Bay of Bengal.
During the current Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, all countries in the world defined their own strategic nuclear missile strikes as "strategic missiles of a hostile country are launched into space, and the trajectory of the missiles is predicted to land in their own regions, which is regarded as a strategic attack on their own countries."
That is, as soon as your ballistic missile lifts into the air. Regardless of whether or not they carry nuclear warheads, and whether or not they hit enemy targets, the attacked country and the third party that provides the "nuclear umbrella" for this country will immediately carry out a strategic nuclear counterattack.
Moreover, what is even more troublesome is that because strategic nuclear strikes are large-scale acts of war, the other side's strategic nuclear counterattacks often adopt a policy of "nuclear bundling," that is, they will not only launch a strategic counterattack against the launching country alone, but will also launch a counterattack at the same time against all targets listed in the national strategic strike catalog, in order to destroy all enemy and potential enemy countries' strategic threats to their own country.
For example, in the 60s, if the United States launched a strategic attack on China, then China's strategy would definitely not only be to counterattack the United States, but would simultaneously launch strategic nuclear strikes against the Soviet Union, Britain, France, India, and other countries. And these countries that are counterattacked will naturally launch nuclear strikes with the same policy. As a result, the earth must be destroyed miè!
Since the Soviet Union did not know what the basis was, it ordered the Soviet Red Navy to make a big move, which caused a high degree of tension in the US government. At this time, the Eastern Union suddenly launched an unannounced ballistic missile test, which may cause the United States to deploy long-range radar and missile early warning satellites in Diego Garcia, judging that the missile was a strategic strike by the Eastern Union using ballistic missiles to launch a strategic attack on the US military base in the Indian Ocean.
Because Diego Garcia is a British territory and is only leased to the United States, if this miscalculation is formed, the United States and Britain will enter a state of emergency at the first time, and the nuclear strike force of the two countries will be activated immediately, and the national leaders will begin to evacuate.
And when the Soviet Union learned of this, it would make the same deployment. The other nuclear powers would also be cautious in activating their own strategic strike systems. This process was largely automatic, and the leaders of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union could not even stop it.
Fortunately, the medium-range ballistic missile launched by the Eastern Union from the island of North Andaman did not fly far, and the time from launch to the landing point was also very short. But even so, it scared all the countries of the world.
When Margaret Thatcher learned the news on the plane, she broke out in a cold sweat. I still have lingering palpitations.
For Sir Young's lion's big mouth, Mrs. Thatcher naturally selectively ignored it.
The US Government will certainly not issue a public apology, let alone pay for the ammunition consumed by the Eastern Union Navy.
The only thing that is likely to bring the parties to a consensus is the implementation of the Kra Canal plan. On this article alone, Margaret Thatcher estimated that everyone still had to argue at the negotiating table.
After probing the general intentions of the Soviet Union from Yang Weiping's mouth, Margaret Thatcher immediately asked the secretary to use another special line to connect to the White House.
At this time, the White House had basically recovered from the panic caused by the trajectory of the Eastern Union's launch guide.
Knowing that the British baron of the Eastern Union was just trying to scare the "Jack Wieson", Reagan and the White House staff were a little crying and laughing.
"This is the big trouble of letting a young man become the leader of a nuclear state!" Bush Sr. shook his head with a wry smile helplessly and said: "Young people are so impulsive, enthusiastic, and hot-headed, they will not think about the consequences at all." Mr. President, I think we should stop stabbing and provoking the young head of the Oriental Union too much. ”
"Fake!" Reagan also didn't care about the image of the president, and burst into a foul language, "Does he think this is setting off fireworks? This is a ballistic missile that may carry a nuclear warhead! Is he really not afraid of triggering a nuclear war all over the world because of his willful nonsense?
"Do we want to send the Seventh Fleet over?" asked Secretary of Defense Weinberg, with a rather stern expression.
"Young people make mistakes, and God forgives. Secretary of State Schultz looked a little old and said indifferently: "At this time, the continued transfer of the Seventh Fleet to the Indian Ocean will undoubtedly further intensify the contradictions." Personally, I believe that when the Jack Wieson returns safely to the Diego Garcia base, there will be a suitable opportunity for the Seventh Fleet to make a public military visit to the Eastern Union. ”
"I think Mr. Secretary of State's suggestion is the old man's plan. The elder Bush nodded and agreed: "In this incident, we have all seen that the young Führer is a typical big trouble who eats soft rather than hard. Moreover, the East Soviet Union Joint Statement is no longer just a piece of paper that has remained on paper for a long time.
I have carefully analyzed that the reason why John Young chose to ally with the Soviet Union was because he saw Andropov's sincerity and made a temporary decision. In fact, in terms of the origins and relations between the two sides, the United States has far an advantage over the Soviet Union. It's just that over the years, we haven't let John Young really feel the friendship of the United States towards him. I think the USS Jack Wieson incident may be an opportunity to change the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the Eastern Union. It is not impossible to pull the Eastern Union back from the Soviets and become an ally of the United States. (To be continued......) I752
