＜ Episode 282 >
There are some things in the world that cannot be mixed.
To give an example, there will be several, starting with water and oil, but Britain and France will also have one leg in the ‘impossible to mix’.
“…… Irina.”
“Yes.”
“Am I not awake right now?”
“no.”
So I had no choice but to be numb.
“United Kingdom of Great Britain and France? Is this really the content of the secret letter from France to Britain?”
“Yes, even the seal of the French Prime Minister was certain.”
“You crazy.”
Yes, I know it was discussed twice in the original history.
The first was during WWII and the second was right after the 1956 Suez War.
But now things are different!
Britain is clearly the loser, and, at least nominally, France is the victor.
“If I spread this in the media, the French Prime Minister and the President’s necks will hang on the Champs Elysees, right?”
“…there’s a good chance it’s not.”
“why?”
“We put too much pressure on it. The number of tanks we mobilized in our last training is ten thousand units. Besides, he was clearly on the side of Germany.”
I glanced down at the sheet. I’m not sure if I woke up or not.
Damn, I felt so good when I woke up that I joked about how easy it is to get into bed.
“This is not what the French Prime Minister said because he was crazy.”
“The problem of public sentiment between the UK and France is serious, but I think there is a problem that needs to be united even beyond the public sentiment. It was like that during the Great War.”
“Isn’t the situation different from that of the negotiating country?”
“In terms of a bigger threat, yes. That’s right.”
“So we’re a bigger threat than the German Empire… That’s right, damn it.”
We are more menacing than the German Empire of World War I.
“The German Empire has been added to the Russian Empire, which is much stronger than before. Moreover, with the addition of Austro-Hungary, Italy returned to neutrality, and the Scandanavian countries were taken over.”
“But did the French trust the British? My eldest son married Elizabeth.”
“It is different from that. Don’t you know?”
“The behavior of the state is no longer consistent with the behavior of the royal family, tug.”
“Besides, the British would be uneasy if that was the case. This is the marriage between His Majesty Victor, who will surely inherit the empire rather than His Majesty Nikolai, who does not know whether he will even receive Czechoslovakia if His Majesty does not decide.”
“Are you talking back to the Dutch side? That too….”
“Even if they are second in the same line of succession, there is a difference in weight between the queen’s real granddaughter and the younger king’s cousin sister.”
“The age difference is huge.”
“Big! That’s right, but…”
To be honest, there is so much age difference that I can’t even say that I’m a thief. twenty years old?
But in the first place, arranged marriages are like that…
“What? Should I shake it more?”
“In what way?”
“Well, I married one of my children to Nikolai’s sister-in-law to make money. Isn’t the age difference too big for Anna to marry the British king? It’s not about having a child and raising a child, it’s about raising a groom, so it’s about becoming a stepmother, not a fiancee.”
“Even the former has an age difference, but isn’t Princess Margaret just a kid?”
“Well, it’s less than Victor.”
I don’t think it’s your mood to hear laughter from under the seat, damn it.
“… This is not something to be decided on in bed, it is a matter that should be secretly shared with allies and come up with countermeasures. I need to discuss with the ministers whether it is better to interrupt, or whether to leave it alone and aim for other benefits, or if there are other countermeasures.”
“Would you like to convene now?”
“It’s all about bed time, and it’s not about arguing for every second. Anything else?”
“It’s about the U.S. military’s next super-large aircraft carrier project that we obtained. It is also not urgent.”
“Okay, we’ll hear the rest of the report tomorrow morning.”
“All right.”
Irina lay flat on the spot and pulled the sheet up to cover it.
“……I hope you can get a good night’s sleep.”
“It’s self-sufficient…”
I had nothing to say against the small voice I heard from inside the seat.
***
As soon as I woke up the next day, I received several reports.
“The United States Navy’s United States-class aircraft carrier, which has been decided to build this time, is a platform dedicated to nuclear attack and carries a small number of large bombers. This large bomber is, of course, for nuclear weapons.”
“United States class, yes, I heard it passed the budget.”
“As a result of extracting the blueprint and analyzing it, it is judged that it is theoretically possible to take off the current bomber.”
“Is it possible?”
“Yes, it would be difficult with our heavy bomber, but it is possible with the US military.”
“Actually, if it was a heavy bomber for the US military, it would have accumulated quite a bit of know-how in the development of wing planes and wing planes. A full-wing aircraft has more lift than a normal aircraft, so does that mean that the take-off distance can be relatively short?”
“That’s right. However, it is frankly doubtful whether it will be possible to build an aircraft carrier of the expected size…
“It’s really Show me the money.”
“Yes?”
“It is nothing. Damn, I have to hear two stories that one can’t digest.”
United States or whatever, frankly, it’s not a threat. It’s better for us to fly an ICBM than to fly that wing and drop the nukes over our heads, and it’s better to fire an SLBM from an SSBN than from a carrier.
However, it is just one of the two things, either the scoundrels haven’t figured it out yet, or they don’t have the technical skills to do it. The Americans have already been developing an intercontinental nuclear cruise missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers since long ago. Very likely to be deployed soon.
Even if it is not at the level of SDI or MD, it is difficult to intercept bombers or subsonic cruise missiles. Apart from the imperial air defense system, in order to effectively strike underground military facilities, it is necessary to increase the precision or increase the power ignorantly. In the case of the United States, it seems that the latter has been chosen, and therefore its power is presumed to be ignorantly high.
But what we don’t care about is that subsonic missiles are easy to intercept. They know that, too, and they’re trying to improve it to supersonic speed.
But what stresses me out is the American capital to build an aircraft carrier of that size.
‘After all, a head-to-head or arms race is crazy.’
I’ll have to shoot Sputnik or whatever as soon as possible in order for the US to pour its money into the wrong things as much as possible. Should I take a closer look at Dr. Koryolov?
Because Gong Millet knows the answer. Seeing that the world’s military technology, including aircraft technology, is developing faster than the original history, I am convinced.
If you suggest the right development direction to Gongdol, give him a sufficient budget, and give him a little bit of time, he can make anything out of it.
So today, I will become a righteous demon with a budget in one hand and a development goal in the other, and I will slaughter the scoundrels.
Not only did the SSS-class jackpot hit during the design process… No, they are the SSS-level land itself. Damn, anyway, the United States without future people is in a hurry, so the technology development was chosen several years earlier, but the Russian Empire with future people won it. Can we not do as much as the Soviet Union did in history?
“The story has ended here, and it’s the British and French Empire.”
“Given the time the information we got and the time it was delivered, it seems that the story has already come a long way. The head of state is the King of England, and the unification, military and diplomatic powers, and financial-related powers seem to have already ended.”
“Even so, wouldn’t that mean there’s no room to shake it at all?”
“That’s right.”
“Probably the ones who will react the most violently right now… are we all but Germany?”
“Of course it will. And I don’t think the Dutch, Italians and Spanish will react that well.”
“Hmm…”
I shook my head.
“Once the Netherlands has been invaded by France, a French-British alliance is not what you want in the Republic of Spain. France and England, which are closer than us, which are far away, are obviously a threat. Invasion of Gibraltar, Morocco, Spain, etc.”
“America?”
“It is uncertain. Will you welcome it or reject it?”
“Actually, more important than the two of us getting together is whether they are willing to develop nuclear weapons.”
“It’s an ability, there’s nothing you can’t do if you put in constant effort for about 10 years. And if it’s France, it’s definitely going to develop nuclear weapons. We will ignore the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or whatever.”
“And how are we going to stop it?”
In fact, from a historical point of view, the way to stop the nuclear development of a country that is risking its national luck to develop nuclear weapons is a military option, that is, pushing it into a tank, confiscating all nuclear materials, searching all areas, destroying facilities, incinerating or recovering data. Either way, it is absolutely, absolutely impossible, unless all the people involved are arrested and then put under surveillance.
It is virtually impossible to block a country that has decided to develop nuclear weapons with the aid of the international community. If possible, it simply means that the country’s will to develop nuclear weapons was insufficient or did not exist at all.
There is no de Gaulle, but the courage of the French is not going anywhere. Even more so because Patin is dead.
“There is nothing but a military option.”
“Let’s make an agreement with the German government, deploy military forces, and pull out the cannons as much as possible.”
“Did you say congratulations?”
“Sputnik.”
“ah!”
Seeing everyone groan, I smiled.
“The space launch vehicle technology is an intercontinental ballistic missile technology, and I wonder what kind of expression those guys will make when they find out that they can see brightly above their heads?”
“Do you think the coalition plan of the British and French Empires is a stepping stone for nuclear development?”
“At least it is clear that they are on the same line, especially in the case of the formation of a third force. I think there is a good chance that sooner or later both of them will leave the European Economic Community.”
Brexit, and Brexit.
“They are trying to re-establish their own hegemony, but it is not impossible to dream of a great empire that would be close to the hegemony of the British Empire if Britain, which had lost all its colonies, and France, which had retained some of its colonies, were united. The United States and Russia will enter into an endless competition, and the British and French Empire will use the casting boat… It’s a cute idea.”
“And to exercise the casting boat, you have to have a basic weight class, so you’re going to fill that with nuclear weapons.”
“That’s correct, they are probably just as diligent in expanding air defense networks and underground facilities for the country as we are.”
“Then, if they show that they can’t stop the progress of the times with their own abilities, wouldn’t it be enough for discussion?”
“It’ll be enough to put some pressure on it, yes, I guess… I’ll have to push Sputnik’s launch schedule.”
