The King's First Minister - a UK AAR

Good for Stanley--though it will be the success of British arms and the keeping up of "prestige" that will ensure the future of the Empire in the east.

Anson sounds like one of the "Super-Lion" designs, basically a scaled-up KGV with 4 triple 16" turrets--v. cool.

Is Mountbatten's job basically his OTL (Combined Ops) job?

[Sir Humphrey]

How long until the Mountbatten press junket kicks into action? Just don't let him near any post war decision making processes...

A nice navy-related update, Le Jones.

“To preserve the British Empire. From all threats.” It was delivered bluntly; Harriman knew that he was being warned.

“I shall pass that on, Foreign Secretary,” Harriman said formally.

“There’s no point whining later on when the President starts to meddle. So I’m warning you now, it’s ‘hands off’ British territory.”

The two men, from different worlds, with differing views, nevertheless shook on the understanding that Harriman had gained.

Harriman might get it, but I fear FDR might not.

LeJones, did you move to another thread and just not tell us?

Looking forward to an update!

[Sir Humphrey]

Pray tell, do I need to get the whips out? Looking ever so much for an update old chum!

[Pershing]

PLEASE don't let this die...

It has been a while since the last update. Has the strain of having to think like Halifax finally overcome the author? I fear it might.

I gotta say: if that is true, then Le Jones had a lot of stamina in him before he was finally overwhelmed.

According to his profile, Le Jones hasn't been around since early August. He may be busy with his holidays or else, but posting here isn't going to help too much, methinks. This is a clear "Allenby" case. Prepare the Tower, then.
