Chapter 692 Nanyang comes to protect Great Britain (second update, please subscribe)
Attlee was indeed waiting for Li Yi'an's arrival. After learning that Li Yi'an came to London, as the prime minister, he began to worry about gains and losses. .
“Do we have enough chips?”
This is because we are worried that the chips in our hands are not attractive enough.
“Can you convince him?”
This is because I am worried that I will not be able to convince the other party verbally.
"Will he be fooled?"
This is because he is worried that the other party will see through his conspiracy.
"Is there any other contribution required..."
All kinds of things...
Finally, as a black BMW 600 parked in front of No. 10 Downing Street, Attlee finally didn't have to worry. After welcoming Li Yian into the office, the usual greetings followed. As they chatted, they naturally got to know each other. Malaya, of course, also talked about the British policy in Malaya. It was even very rare that Attlee took the initiative to mention their mistakes, and finally said that it was time to correct this mistake, and then invited Nanyang to enter .
In this way, most of the conversations were about things that both parties had known for a long time. The only problem was that there was not much real money.
But even so, Attlee still talked about the atomic bomb and the significance of the atomic bomb in Nanyang to the British Commonwealth.
"The emergence of "Miss Ping" has inspired the hearts of the people throughout the Commonwealth and is of extraordinary significance to the Commonwealth."
Here he is, he is here after all, Li Yi Anshun He said according to his words.
"Yes, "Miss Ping" is not only a success for Nanyang, but also a success for the entire Commonwealth. For Nanyang, we are willing to play a greater role in future Commonwealth security affairs and should and must provide the British with Atomic bomb protection!"
Li Yian smiled at Attlee with a kind look, but the cracked corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and said:
"This is us. An unshirkable responsibility."
Nanyang protects Britain!
Faced with Li Yi'an's kind assurance, Attlee's mood was extremely complicated. For a moment, he even wanted to curse in his heart - does Britain need the protection of Nanyang?
The answer...well, is yes.
If the Russians come now, if someone wants to drop an atomic bomb on Britain now, Britain can only ask Nanyang for help.
Damn it, how did Britain become like this?
There is actually a former colony to protect itself.
Comrade Attlee's heart suddenly tightened. Not to mention how complicated it was, it was even embarrassing, because he knew why Britain had become like this.
Yes, it's because of himself.
“Thank you for your Majesty’s kindness. However, Britain is too far away from Nanyang, but for Britain, the threat is very close. Compared with the protection of Nanyang, Britain needs more It's your ability to protect yourself..."
When he looked at Li Yi'an, Attlee's eyes were sincere, and the arc of his mouth was also friendly. This man has been wearing an old suit since he was in his twenties. In working-class communities in London and other places, those who hold cordial talks with workers and can wear work suits to speak in Parliament are best at creating this sense of intimacy.
“So, I have restarted the “Alloy Tube Project”. We have not only launched the atomic bomb project, but also will develop a hydrogen bomb.”
Last year, after the Soviet Union’s successful atomic bomb test explosion, In order to confront Soviet Russia, American scientists began to publicize the hydrogen bomb program with great fanfare. In the eyes of many people, if the Soviet Union built a hydrogen bomb before the United States, the United States would be in catastrophe. With the support of President Truman, the U.S. hydrogen bomb program was officially launched at the beginning of this year.
And the reason why Attlee took out the hydrogen bomb was to tell Li Yi'an that Britain is very good. Don't underestimate us. Even if Britain does not have an atomic bomb now, let alone an atomic bomb on the road map, there is even a hydrogen bomb. .
Of course, that is the plan. In terms of the buzzwords of the 21st century, it is to build cars using ppt. No, it is to build nuclear weapons using ppt. It is just a concept.
As a veteran imperialist power, he is indeed qualified to play with this concept here, because Britain does have its own uniqueness in science and technology. "Oh, since it's not needed, forget it."
Li Yian's answer made Attlee blink for a long time, and he didn't react for a while.
You, didn’t you say you wanted to protect Daying?
Why did you retreat again!
If it were Fatty Qiu, what he would think of here would definitely be - this guy is waiting for a bid!
But Attlee is not Fatty Qiu, he continued after revealing his trump card.
“But, you know, it takes a long time to develop an atomic bomb.”
"So? If we can get corresponding help, it will definitely speed up the development of the British atomic bomb."
Finally, Li Yian showed an understanding smile, but did not speak.
After a moment of hesitation, Attlee lowered his voice and said:
“Of course, we will give Nanyang certain rewards, financially or in other aspects, such as appropriate financial assistance. "
In fact, Attlee has already thought about providing certain assistance to Nanyang in the name of the Commonwealth. Although Britain lost its world hegemony after the war, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Compared to many countries, the UK is still very developed. The UK still provides a large amount of aid to countries that are members of the Commonwealth every year. Although the current pound is not as valuable as it was before the war, who would refuse such aid?
Attlee said.
“I have proposed to Congress that, in addition to providing a considerable amount of aid to Nanyang next year, we will provide no less than 200 million pounds in aid to Nanyang in the next five years.”
< br>But the UK does not have the ability to pretend to be fat. When a sum of money is spent, it must be supplemented from other places. From there, yes, it is India - India has always been the country that receives the most aid from the UK. Before and after its independence, the UK provided as much as 50 million in aid to India every year. British pounds, and it is still increasing.
Now, in order to satisfy Nanyang, we have to sacrifice India!
“Why should one family speak two different languages?”
Li Yian said with a smile.
“As long as London is in need, we will certainly be willing to provide as much help as we can. However, what Nanyang needs now is not just financial help, but also other aspects of help.”
It doesn't matter if it's sterling or not. Of course, if you are willing to give it, you will definitely not refuse it. Even if you don’t give it...well, you still have to give it.
For Li Yian, what really makes his heart beat is the family background in the UK.
The scientific and technological wealth accumulated by the British Empire since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution will gradually disappear in the next few decades, but if we can seize the opportunity now, we can take advantage of this opportunity to complete British science. The transfer of technology from the British mainland to Southeast Asia.
If this goal can be achieved, not to mention providing atomic bomb technology, it would be a very cost-effective investment to directly give them an atomic bomb.
“I think Nanyang and the UK can discuss and cooperate in many areas, including trade, finance, defence, education, technology, scientific research, law, medicine and agriculture. If we can join them and carry out joint research , it is very beneficial to Nanyang and the United Kingdom. "
This is what Li Yi'an needs. Of course, he also mentioned the further optimization of the atomic bomb and the next step of research on the hydrogen bomb.
“...If we can work together, it will not only speed up the development of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs in the UK, but also help Nanyang improve its own scientific research level, which will inevitably boost the development of the entire Commonwealth. ”
Sometimes, it’s better to be more straightforward. In fact, at this time, there is no need to hide anything at all. Just tell the other party what you want. As for the rest, let them decide for themselves. Bar.
"This..."
Faced with the conditions offered by Li Yi'an, Attlee hesitated. Of course he knew the other party's intention, which was to improve himself through cooperation.
Accept or reject?
