British civil servant

McCarthy nodded frequently. The talent of the British in diplomacy is still trustworthy, and there is no harm in listening more.

Of course, there is no harm. Japan has done all the things that offend people. What harm does the United States have?Only benefits!

Fate has linked Alan Wilson and Japan again after the Canberra claims conference.The Japanese don't need to thank him, after all, he is helping McCarthy's friend.

When the Bandung Conference was held, Japan offended all the newly independent countries. With reference to the law that Japan's bad luck is the achievement of Malaya, Alan Wilson will be more confident in the future economic competition with Japan.

As long as Japan makes marionettes in strict accordance with the instructions of the United States, I believe that the Bandung Conference will not only not be able to change the negative impression left by the war, but will also be connoted by Nehru for a period of time.

"Sometimes chatting with you can always gain something." McCarthy sent out feeling, and the telegram contact between the two has never been broken. If Alan Wilson was a Soviet spy, it is estimated that McCarthy would have a clown who turned out to be myself a feeling of.

"Oh, this is really a good evaluation. But who made me such an excellent person." Alan Wilson praised himself, "Excellent people always get along with excellent people, and they will become even better."

Prime Minister Hatoyama Ichiro who is far away in Tokyo, for some reason, always feels that something bad will happen this day.

After all, Alan Wilson is still a foreign friend of Ichiro Hatoyama, and it is his duty to help the United States and Japan consolidate their alliance.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the imperial commissioner is that he does not seek fame. Even if he has done a good deed, he is unwilling to let Hatoyama Ichiro know. He does not expect the Japanese Prime Minister to thank him. He didn't take any credit.

A young actor, Yachikusa Kaoru, dismissed him. From this point of view, the Japanese have made a lot of money.

In fact, at this five-nation meeting, the United Kingdom suffered a lot of criticism, and it was even bigger.

The leader of Indonesia, Ensugano, once again denounced the shamelessness of colonialism for splitting the Indonesian territory, and urged the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to return the illegally occupied Indonesian land and set an example of ending colonialism.

"He is thinking of farting. I would rather detonate a hydrogen bomb in the center of Kuala Lumpur, and it is impossible to hand over British Malaya to Indonesia. It is impossible to hand it over to anyone. In the agricultural era, I would have started ethnic cleansing long ago. Are you listening to his nonsense?"

It was about the British Malaya Commissioner's ass issue. Of course, Alan Wilson didn't have a good face. He sneered at Sukarno's appeal brought out by Alisa. Big, just keep Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, and it would be a waste if there are too many.

"I heard that there is a movie that is being released, and it has caused a boom in Europe now? It's called [-]: Moskva?" Alisa pretended that she hadn't heard anything about ethnic cleansing, and turned to a lighter topic, " Will Malaya introduce it? I heard that North America will start showing it next week."

"Bringing in is not a one-sentence matter." Alan Wilson said in his heart that the boss of Woodpecker Pictures would come to express his condolences.

The introduction of this flattering movie to the Attlee cabinet is also beneficial, and the more subtle brainwashing the better.

In the North American market, Vivien Leigh's United Artists is co-creating, and importing it is certainly not a problem. Originally, the first film of the [-] series had nothing to do with Moskva, but it was re-created temporarily because the election was coming.

If the response is enthusiastic this time, the [-] series of movies will really continue to be filmed according to the author's instructions.

McCarthy has not shown up in the past two days. He is discussing countermeasures with Washington, discussing the international conference organized by India, excluding the United States, and wanting to start anew.

Originally, the Republican Party did not expect McCarthy to put forward any useful suggestions. Regarding McCarthy's vacation abroad, many people felt that they could finally be quieter and not listen to McCarthy's nonsense in Congress.

But in the telegram, McCarthy said that he should adopt a roundabout strategy, using Japan and the Philippines as white gloves to explain the voice of the United States, which really surprised Washington. Is this a solution that the drunkard could come up with?

"It's amazing!" Even President Eisenhower, who was in the White House, was shocked and couldn't believe what the Secretary of State said. He actually didn't have a good impression of McCarthy, and felt that McCarthy's methods were not very bright.

But he didn't expect that the original intention of letting McCarthy go abroad and make his ears quiet and quiet, there would be unexpected gains?

"I'm also surprised." Dulles didn't hide his surprise. Dulles knew McCarthy better than other senior Republican officials. His brother was the director of the CIA. Who was McCarthy? Don't understand?

"I believe even your younger brother will be surprised." Eisenhower joked, "The joy of life lies in constantly gaining a new understanding of the world."

"That's right, President!" Dulles also gave a positive response to the president's question, "Joseph wants to go to Japan, visit in his own name, and test the views of the Japanese Prime Minister. He seems to have more of himself than his predecessor. With that in mind, it's a good time for him to go."

For the new prime minister of Japan, Dulles hoped that McCarthy's presence would make him realize the reality of the world.

He dislikes politicians who defy the United States, and neither does his younger brother Allen Dulles.

As the director of the CIA, Allen Dulles' main job in recent months has been to help the United Fruit Company oust Guatemalan President Árbenz, successfully overthrow the pro-Soviet president, and protect the The legal interest of the United Fruit Company, an American corporation.

Arbenz sounded his own death knell when he confiscated the United Fruit Company's land and distributed it to the poor.United Fruit is a US-funded company that controls the cultivation and export of bananas in Latin America, and through it controls the economic lifelines of many Latin American countries.

Arbenz's action against the United Fruit Company was tantamount to declaring war on the American capital behind the company, and Allen Dulles was a director of the company before he became the director of the CIA.

Eisenhower was taken aback, then nodded solemnly, "Maybe McCarthy is indeed a suitable candidate for dealing with the Japanese."

"What? It won't be long before you leave?" Alan Wilson expressed his reluctance to McCarthy in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of British Malaya. "Joseph, you know that life is long, but it is not easy to find a like-minded friend." It's easy, you and I belong to two countries, it's not easy to meet each other, and we don't know when the next time we'll have a drink."

Allen Wilson had no hypocrisy, and sincerely expressed his retention to McCarthy. He always used the excuse of entertaining McCarthy to sneak into Vivien Leigh's bed. Such a good shield was about to leave, very suddenly.

"There will be a chance, Alan." McCarthy patted Alan Wilson on the shoulder. He could feel the sincerity of his friend's retention, but he still insisted on saying, "When the country needs us, you and I are people who will never turn back , as you said, the international conference organized by India is important, and I must personally take care of it."

"Well, this is the end of the matter. It is the duty of a patriot to serve the supreme authority of the country. Fate sometimes must have it. Thinking about it carefully, although I dare not say that we share weal and woe during this period, it also complements each other. But now we have to part, in a word, although this is a sad moment, but from the perspective of a friend, I wish Joseph a smooth journey, can achieve his goals in Japan, and defend the interests of the free world."

"Alan, don't make your words so heavy." McCarthy smiled wryly. Although Alan Wilson expressed his intention to stay, he always felt that something was wrong. "I heard that Japan is also a good place. You go Have you been?"

"Of course, blue sky and white clouds, lush water and grass make people forget their troubles. For many Americans, it is a paradise. The US military stationed in Japan thinks so!" Alan Wilson organized his words, and he felt that he was right.

"Then there's no problem." After hearing this, McCarthy pinched his waist with both hands. That's right, there are US troops stationed in Japan, so there's no problem.

7 Chapter Ninety

A defeated country, even a country that needs the US military stationed in Japan to ensure its security, is it qualified to refuse the help of the United States?

The answer is, of course, no. It doesn’t even need the presence of the U.S. troops stationed in Japan. It just needs to make some random moves in the economy, and Japan can immediately dream of returning to [-]. Even eating is a problem.

Of course, Alan Wilson also knows the nature of the American agricultural empire. It is like a god to some countries with food shortages. He doesn't mind the United States helping the Japanese lose weight. Unfortunately, it may not be for that reason.

It’s just that the efforts that should be made still have to be done, "Japan has no right to reject the United States, half of the food needs to be imported, Joseph, this is destined to be a good environment for you to display diplomatic means."

"That's right." McCarthy nodded, convinced of Alan Wilson's analysis, and then said, "Alan, you seem to know Japan quite well?"

"I can't talk about understanding. My working relationship is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have studied some noteworthy countries." Alan Wilson smiled, and then offered to propose, "Joseph, with your relationship with me, I am willing to help you Prepare some materials to make your trip to Japan smoother."

"Oh, that's really great." McCarthy's eyes lit up, and he expressed his gratitude, "Look, I'm here for vacation, but I'm bothering you again. I really don't know what to say."

Alan Wilson said that this is what should be done. As far as the relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is concerned, who will he help McCarthy?

In fact, he is also very busy, and things always come one after another at the end of the year, but he still uses his energy to help his friend's trip to Japan.

It is true that he himself has no grievances or enmities with the Japanese, and all this is for the sake of the overall situation of the free world.

McCarthy was also very grateful for this. He was still expressing his gratitude on the way to the airport, and at the same time expressed his concerns, "Alan, there are too many Chinese in the territory you manage. This is an unstable factor. You are my My friend, let me tell you the truth, I should think of a way."

"Oh, Joseph, you are right. It's just that in the current stable situation, I don't have much to do. Although I did say that the Chinese should be expelled. But that is the last way. If there is no reason, it may be Intensification of contradictions."

Allen Wilson spread his hands with a face of embarrassment. He has personal difficulties and hopes that they can understand each other.

After taking office, he has been working hard. Deep down, he does not believe that a backward place can export ideas to a rich place. The key to Europe's ability to withstand the ideological storm of the Soviet Union lies in the part of the free world, which is indeed better than Eastern Europe. Be a lot richer.

As long as British Malaya can lead the surrounding economies, even if it is really infiltrated, it is useless, even if it is of the same language and the same species.

At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Alan Wilson bid farewell to the McCarthy couple, and then took out an island authorization and said, "Joseph, if you are willing to go around, if you come to the designated island for vacation in the future, all expenses will be free. In fact, I wanted to I want to send you an island, but this may cause unnecessary disputes, so I dismissed the idea."

"You are so kind!" McCarthy expressed his gratitude. He didn't care if he could be the owner of the island. For McCarthy, the furthest vacation is Hawaii. Generally speaking, if you want to enjoy the tropical scenery, you can go to Puerto Rico.

Accepting it was entirely because the person who gave it convenience was his friend. McCarthy raised his wrist and glanced at the time and said, "It's about time. The two of us are leaving. If there is anything, please contact me by telegram."

"No problem, I wish you a complete success on your trip to Japan." Alan Wilson watched the McCarthys disappear at the airport, then turned around and blew a whistle. Regarding the Japanese prime minister or the US senator, who has a better chance of winning, this issue still needs to be thought about.

At the Port of Malacca, tanks were unloaded from freighters one after another. The expansion of the British Army stationed in Malacca under the Far East Joint Operations Command is a foregone conclusion. At this time of the end of the year, the plan for a large number of soldiers to come to the Far East is temporarily put on hold. It is estimated that the trip will not take place until after the election. However, the ordnance needed by the British army stationed in Ma has arrived first.

The Churchill tank and the Cromwell tank are also one of them, and the two tanks are actually about to be retired from active service.

However, because of the large output of tanks produced during the war, when the British Army in Ma was expanded, a large number of tanks that were supposed to be blocked were unsealed and sent here to increase the armor strength of the British Army in Ma.

"The British troops stationed in Malaysia are going straight to the World War." Alan Wilson, Singapore's Far East Joint Operations Command, took a telegram from Kuala Lumpur and joked with Lieutenant General Billton, "This place seems to have become a forgotten corner of the world. The country keeps putting old-fashioned armaments here."

Churchill tanks and Cromwell tanks struggled against the T34. Fortunately, the Soviet Union's T54 tanks have not yet been mass-produced. Otherwise, in a few years, there will be no room for these two outdated tanks.

"Centurion Tank London is considering!" Lieutenant General Bilton also looked down on these weapons and equipment during the World War, but seeing the Malaya Commissioner say so, he still maintained London's authority from the military's point of view.

"It's funny to say it. I heard that the Centurion tanks have been exported to Egypt and Iraq. They only want to make money and generate income, so they give these junks to Malaya, which is almost on the front line?" Alan Wilson shook his head, "Of course, The Royal Navy stationed in Malaya is strong, so it is understandable to be ignored."

Britain currently maintains the inertia of being willing to exchange all weapons and equipment for money after World War II.Even active aircraft carriers are constantly being promoted for export, and the first-generation main battle tank Centurion is of course no exception.

Because the United Kingdom did not participate in the Korean War in this time and space, the Centurion tank lacked actual combat experience in a certain sense. Although the army gave some feedback on its use experience, the Centurion tank did not perform well for a long time, and there were many jokes.

At the beginning of the design, it was not considered to fight in a low-temperature environment, so that the Centurion tank encountered various mechanical failures in a low-temperature environment. It took half an hour to warm up the tank just to start the tank.These small and big problems have brought a lot of trouble to the Centurion tank, and also made the reliability of the Centurion tank quite questionable.

But it can't stop Britain's determination to spread technology after the war.Originally, more than half of the production of the Centurion tank was used for export in history. Now that the Labor Party has been in power for two terms, the Centurion tank was quickly put on the shelves. In addition to the Commonwealth countries, the British protectorate in the Middle East Also within the scope of export.

The significance of the Centurion tank is still very important. Britain has long used first-class technology to manufacture second-rate military equipment. In the field of tanks, the Churchill tank is an infantry tank, and the Cromwell tank is a cruiser tank.

The most reliable British tank in the world war was the Sherman produced by the United States. This situation really worried the British. After all, how could the British always rely on American tanks?Britain also needs to have its own tanks that are worthy of use!

For the United Kingdom, the Centurion tank can be described as an epoch-making existence. It really got rid of the old British division of infantry tanks and cruiser tanks, allowing British tanks to embark on the right path of tank development. middle.

The Centurion tank was also used as a test product for nuclear tests. During the second atomic bomb test, it withstood the impact of the nuclear bomb, and was immediately used for export advertising.

The only difference is that in the past, Israel was a major importer of the Centurion. It imported more than 1000 vehicles and became the main force in previous Middle East wars. But now it is obviously different. Egypt and Iraq have become the main import countries in the Middle East. history is just the opposite.

If a war breaks out again in the Middle East in a few years, it is very likely that there will be scenes of British tanks fighting American tanks.

I complained a lot about the export of centurions, the garrison uses the operations of Churchill and Cromwell, Alan Wilson still cares more about the deployment of the air force, British Malaya West Malaysia is a peninsula, East Malaysia is an isolated island, and the ground force uses inferior goods Not impossible.

Although the navy also uses inferior goods, the Royal Navy's inferior goods are far more than the capital ships of ordinary countries, and this is no problem.

But the air force can't deal with it. The battleship Prince of Wales was sunk by Japan, which has already shown that battleships also need air supremacy. Wasn't the battle of Dien Bien Phu just because the French air force could not support it, which led to the annihilation of the defenders?

"Isn't your wife a partner of de Havilland? I don't know that the vampire squadron is coming?" Lieutenant General Bilton was very surprised. Didn't the Mountbatten family communicate about this kind of thing?

"I don't care about that, Pamela is mainly concerned about civilian airliners." Alan Wilson patted his head and said angrily, "There is one thing I forgot, thanks for reminding me."

Lieutenant General Bilton had a question mark in his head, what did he remind?How do young people nowadays speak in half?

Alan Wilson drew a bunch of weapon shells from his memory before. He originally wanted to use the military relationship of the Mountbatten family to correct the problem of using first-class equipment as second-rate weapons.

But Pamela Mountbatten was not here, so he forgot about it, and only remembered it when he came to the Far Eastern Combat Command today.

Export the centurion to use Churchill for himself. I will skip the operation of my country’s own national conditions here. He must immediately find a way to stabilize the country in front of his wife.

While British Malaya strengthened its armaments, McCarthy in Tokyo was also fighting for the United States from one victory to another. He could feel Ichiro Hatoyama's inner resistance, but it didn't matter. Thinking about the US military stationed in Japan, he would have a good idea of.

"The United States and Japan are close allies. Japan helps the United States to say something, which can change the isolated diplomatic environment as soon as possible. And respected Prime Minister, many people have reported that Japan has dumped textiles against the United States."

McCarthy crossed his fingers and looked at Ichiro Hatoyama. He wasn't threatening anything, it was a fact.

Chapter 791 Military Expert Wilson

The United States opened its market to Japan, allowing Japan to get out of the quagmire of war from the textile industry. In McCarthy's eyes, this was a one-sided favor. The current Japanese life exceeds the living standard of Japan at any time.

All of this was brought by the United States. Alan Wilson said so when he was in Malaya, and McCarthy also thought so. Since it is a favor, Japan will repay the United States at a critical moment.

An international conference organized by Nehru to prevent the United States from exerting influence on the grounds that the United States is a colonial country.The task of speaking for the United States then fell on Japan, and McCarthy had to get Ichiro Hatoyama to agree to this.

I have to say that Ichiro Hatoyama and Shigeru Yoshida are different. Although Ichiro Hatoyama is different from Shigeru Yoshida in terms of reducing the burden on the US troops stationed in Japan and self-defense, he does not even want to establish a self-defense force than Shigeru Yoshida. He completely expects the protection of the United States to be different. busy.

But Ichiro Hatoyama wants more. He really wants to be independent. After knowing McCarthy's intentions, he is unwilling to offend people for the United States. If he reintegrates into the international community as an American pony, It was a blow to the ideas Ichiro Hatoyama was pursuing.

McCarthy is not a very good-tempered visitor. After the miscommunication appeared, he directly sacrificed the so-called facts.That is, the United States can investigate the anti-dumping of Japanese textiles.

This is exactly what McCarthy is good at, but he used to investigate so-called pro-Soviet suspects.

"Well, because of the alliance with the United States, this is what Japan should do." Hatoyama Ichiro politely made a guarantee, and the threat of anti-dumping investigations forced him to have a clear idea.

For Japan at this time, the anti-dumping investigation on textiles was almost fatal. Japan’s textile exports were too dependent on the US market. Once it was hit by Washington, Japan would take a big step back.

As Allen Wilson expected, there was no need to threaten agriculture at all. Just using their brains on textile exports was enough to make Japan compromise. McCarthy directly got the desired guarantee from Ichiro Hatoyama.

Japan is a country built on the support of the United States. This relationship is not reciprocal. Once the United States makes a real move, Japan has no choice but to compromise.

A sincere friendship is like Alan Wilson and McCarthy. After making progress from Tokyo, McCarthy shared this victory with Alan Wilson in a happy tone.

"Great!" Alan Wilson looked at McCarthy's letter, and the process was similar to what he predicted.The United States threatened that Japan would compromise, so he was very supportive of McCarthy's trip to Japan.

One advantage of McCarthy's trip to Japan is that, based on McCarthy's character, if things don't go well, he will definitely use a threatening tone to force Japan to compromise.

Japan's compromise will set a very bad precedent, that is, Japan has nothing to do in the face of the threat of the United States.McCarthy succeeded this time, and there will be a steady stream of American politicians to follow suit in the future.

It can be said that McCarthy provided an example for the United States to deal with Japan in the future. With his example, people who follow suit will surely appear one after another. As long as the United States needs it, Japan will be dealt with.

This is of course something to be happy about. Only the United States can clean up Japan, and other countries do not have this condition.

"The so-called Tao produces one, one, two, and three produces all things." Alan Wilson explained the truth that once can be countless times, and he looks forward to the fact that the United States will pluck Japan's wool if it has nothing to do.

While constantly trying to use all possibilities to create obstacles for Japan, Malayan's economy must also be upgraded simultaneously. Whether it is the nominal three-ring diplomacy or the actual two-winged flight, the Commonwealth and the colonies are the most important. basis of this policy.

The British Empire, which includes the colonies and dominions, is the foundation of the Three Rings and the capital in which Britain plays its role.

Attlee's Labor government faced serious economic difficulties after the war, so it put a lot of energy on domestic economic recovery and social reform.

On the issue of dominions and colonies, the Labor Party government attaches importance to economic relations with dominions and colonies, and implements an enlightened colonial policy. It advocates following the trend of the post-war national liberation movement, laying down part of the burden, enabling politically mature colonies to achieve self-government, and The fundamental purpose of pulling it into the Commonwealth of Nations is to continue the political and economic relationship with the colonies.

For the vast majority of colonies, London adopts a strategy of delaying time as much as possible. Independence is not impossible, but it is not possible now.

But British Malaya is different. At the beginning, the Labor Party government did not want Malaya to become independent, and it is even more unwilling now.Because Malaya has begun to gradually supplement the deficiencies of the mainland.This year's steel production has been on par with the UK mainland.

This fact has made London realize that another wing to maintain the British Empire has appeared, otherwise it would not have begun to increase its military presence in the Malaya colonies.

The British Empire with its colonies and the Commonwealth of Nations is qualified to lead Europe and achieve a relatively independent status.From [-] to the present, it can be said that Britain is approaching this goal step by step.

The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, just as the United Kingdom supports the United States' global free trade, while trying to preserve the existence of the pound zone and the imperial preferential system, is very complicated in short.
