Chapter 692 Nanyang comes to protect Great Britain (second update, please subscribe)
Attlee was indeed waiting for Li Nian's arrival. After learning that Li Nian had arrived in London, as Prime Minister, he began to worry about gains and losses.

"Do we have enough chips?"

This is because they are worried that the chips in their 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 needed..."

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 .

There is actually a former colony to protect itself.

Li Yian smiled at Attlee with kind eyes, but the cracked corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he said:
"This is our unshirkable responsibility."

When looking at Li Yi'an, Attlee's eyes were sincere and the curve of his mouth was friendly. This man, who had been wearing an old suit since he was in his twenties, had cordial talks with workers in workers' communities in London and other places. He could wear Guys who wear work suits to speak in Congress are best at creating this sense of intimacy.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, Britain is too far away from Nanyang, but for Britain, the threat is very close. Compared with the protection of Nanyang, what Britain needs more is its own ability 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, "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!”

Last year, after the Soviet Union successfully tested an atomic bomb, American scientists began to vigorously promote the hydrogen bomb program in order to confront the Soviet Union. 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.

If the Russians come now, if someone wants to drop an atomic bomb on Britain now, Britain can only turn to Nanyang for help.

Damn it, how did Britain become like this?

Nanyang protects Britain!

Yes, it's because of himself.

"So, I've restarted the Alloy Tube Project, and we're not only launching the atomic bomb program, but we're also going to develop the hydrogen bomb."

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 great significance to the Commonwealth."

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.

Most of what they talked about was something that both parties had known for a long time. The only problem was that there wasn't much real money.

It’s coming, it’s coming after all, Li Yian followed his words.

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 was the plan. To put it in terms of a 21st century buzzword, it was to build cars using ppt. No, it was to build nuclear weapons using ppt. It was 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, if you don't need it, forget it."

Li Yi'an'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 was not Fatty Qiu, he said again 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 time of the British atomic bomb."

Finally, Li Yian showed an understanding smile, but did not speak.

After hesitating for a moment, 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 had already thought about providing certain assistance to Southeast Asia in the name of the Commonwealth. Although Britain lost its world hegemony after the war, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Compared to many countries, Britain was still Very developed. The UK still provides a large amount of aid to countries that are members of the Commonwealth every year. Although the 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 2 million pounds in aid to Nanyang in the next five years."

However, the UK does not have the ability to flatter itself. When it spends a sum of money, it must find it from other places, and 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's annual aid to India reaches up to 5000 million pounds, and it is still increasing.

Now, in order to satisfy Nanyang, India has to be sacrificed!

"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 whether 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 Yi'an, what really makes him excited 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. However, if we can seize the opportunity now, we can take advantage of this opportunity to complete the transfer of British science and technology from the United Kingdom. The transfer of the mainland to the 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 United Kingdom can discuss and cooperate in many fields, including trade, finance, defense, education, technology, scientific research, law, medicine and agriculture. If we can join them and carry out joint research, we can have a better understanding of Nanyang and the United Kingdom. It’s all very beneficial.”

This is what Li Yian 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, we can 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 is better to speak more straightforwardly. 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.

"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?
