Chapter 582: Public Opinion of Emperor Mai
“There is no doubt that France and England are currently in a similar situation, so our two countries need to unite in order to make the other colonial countries have a good time as well.” Alan Wilson wanted to say something, expressing the intention of unity in good faith at this moment.
Governor Otto also nodded his head, in fact, for the colonies to suffer from external threats, France is even more clear than the United Kingdom about where the source of the threat comes from, in fact, Paris has already expressed regret for participating in the Korean War.
Hearing the inside story of Paris from Governor Otto’s mouth, Allen Wilson was likewise very surprised and said, “In fact this was also out of many people’s expectations, and those who were surprised included me.”
Alone on the matter of the United States call for troops, Canada and Australia ultimately could not carry the pressure, Allen Wilson is not incomprehensible, Australia is an imperial loyal dog, Britain if you want to start a military operation, if you call on Australia, Australia will also help.
Of course this premise is that Britain can not weaken too much, such as Margaret Thatcher period of the war on the island of Ma.
As for Canada, after all, it is too close to the United States, and if the United States exerts pressure, it is difficult for Canada to carry the pressure.
But it was France, and Alan Wilson couldn’t figure out that France had sent troops to help the US despite Britain’s avoidance of sending ground troops, and hadn’t taken the opportunity to demand equal treatment with Britain.
But it was also true that France’s economic problems were a little more serious, and that Britain’s per capita income was now about two-thirds that of the United States, at roughly twelve thousand dollars. Don’t underestimate this figure; in 1945, Adderley’s first term, Britain’s per capita income was only half that of the United States. It has not been easy to make this much progress.
It was hard to beat a penny, and it is not unfathomable that France, which had even less wiggle room than Britain, ultimately chose to go to war.
What Alan Wilson hoped was that Britain’s per capita income would be equal to that of the United States by the time the United States ended the Korean War.
Difficult indeed, but a dream nonetheless, and it might require British Malaya to take on more responsibility.
He took the initiative to go to Zanzibar and meet with a group of African commissioners just to be able to get Malaya the same support as the British mainland, which of course was approved by Whitehall.
While discussing plans for the development of the overseas territories with his colleagues, Otto could not help but feel a sense of envy.
There were no French colonies in the vicinity of Madagascar, and the French colonies, which stretched out in a row, were all on the Atlantic side. He, the governor of Madagascar, was still doing it rather alone.
I don’t know who mentioned the topic of the Helsinki Olympics, and a group of colonial commissioners who had nothing better to do than to be in Sanibal, had a rather lively discussion along the lines of that topic.
Alan Wilson at first just listen to figure a happy, then thought of what, the Olympic Games in the Cold War has always been the stage of the great powers, Helsinki Olympics seems to be the post-war Soviet Union, the first time to use the Olympic Games as a battleground to the United States to send a competitive signal of the Olympic Games.
Of course he wasn’t bashing the USSR or anything, because the USSR had only just done so, the first to use the Olympics to show national power was the United States, and when it did so even World War I hadn’t broken out.
“In fact, gentlemen, we can not use this time the Olympic Games, toss the colonies?” Alan Wilson lit a cigar and took a puff, “We take this as a thing to do, to find something for the people who manage the colonies. At least it will divert attention for two years. Unfortunately, this edition of the British Empire Games is over.”
“Alan, what’s the point?” John laughed bitterly, “Having athletes from these colonies attend the Olympics? And what can be done? What can it prove?”
“It can toss them around, past experience has shown that if we don’t take the initiative to find something for the colonies to do. They will come after us.” Alan Wilson smiled, “It’s not like we have to spend a lot of money to be able to divert the attention of the colonies for two years, how good is that.”
“On the one hand, we can also express the tolerance of the British Empire, easily stand up on a moral level, and show that London’s attitude on the colonial issue is changing, as for the other benefit, we can also disgust the United States.”
Technically speaking, the system of racial segregation in the United States, which has been in place since the Democrats established it in the late nineteenth century, is still in effect. It’s still a long way from being legally abolished, and black Americans today can’t talk about how loyal they are to the United States.
Alan Wilson remembered that during the second battle, there was an incident in the United States where black troops surrendered en masse.
Thinking of this, he could not help but raise his wrist, and in his heart he realized that it had almost begun.
For the British Empire’s first Olympic Games after the war, Allen Wilson, who gave the Empire’s overseas territories an equal opportunity, was ready to borrow foreign forces to stir up trouble in the Olympics at the same time that the Second Battle had already been fought.
Accompanied by Five Star Emperor MacArthur’s slogan of ending the war before Christmas, the US-Korean coalition forces were given a head start to stabilize their minds, and once again began an offensive to occupy the entire peninsula.
By the time the battle officially began, Alan Wilson had already telegraphed the results of this Zanzibar meeting to London. It was also stated that with the help of the Olympic Games something was to be found for the subjects of British Africa to do.
Whitehall’s reply was to wait until then, but there was no objection to the initial idea of finding something to do. The possible implications of releasing black athletes to compete in the Olympics in Britain’s name were apparently still being examined.
Receiving the telegram from London, Alan Wilson conferred with his colleagues and decided to prepare as originally planned.
It didn’t matter if it was ultimately rejected, the big thing was to give a bicycle as a reward, black people in this era were still very good at fooling around.
Back in Kuala Lumpur, the second battle had already been fought, and based on sources from all sides, especially those on American soil, Allen Wilson could conclude that the Americans believed that as long as the U.S. military responded seriously, they would soon be able to beat the enemy back.
The slogan of ending the war by Christmas also became a headline that was bound to be mentioned in every major American newspaper.
“MacArthur would never have always been thought of for a bit of ridicule if he hadn’t had the help of these American newspapers.” Alan Wilson couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the contents of the American newspapers, but it was all MacArthur’s own choice.
Few generals won a hundred battles all the time, and it wasn’t uncommon for them to be gray, so how come MacArthur was brought up for connotations every now and then? The main reason is that the five-star emperor is too capable of blowing, before the fight has even begun to act as if he has already won, and when he loses the fight, don’t blame others for grasping at straws.
After the fiasco in the Philippines, I’m afraid that there are very few generals who not only set aside all responsibility, but also hold important positions in the military.
I am afraid there are even fewer generals like him who abandoned his commanding duties in the Battle of Bataan and escaped with his close associates and even servants, and who claimed that his value to the nation was much higher than that of the generals who sacrificed their lives for it.
It was hard not to laugh at the five-star Emperor for being too able to blow off steam and for having so many black marks on his body that he ended up being a late bloomer.
“I wonder if Emperor Mai’s list of war criminals is ready?” Alan Wilson, however, knew that after the end of the first battle, MacArthur, faced with the emergence of a new enemy, not only did not recognize the seriousness of the situation, but also prepared to try the war criminals after the subsequent victory, and for this reason prepared a list of war criminals up to more than five hundred people.
The templates were all in the style of the Nuremberg trials, presumably wanting to go back and run for president after completing the trial of the century.
Of course the final result, Allen Wilson is aware of, but this does not prevent him from making things.
Back in Kuala Lumpur Allen Wilson first thing, is to contact the Japanese contact, on the one hand, is to confirm, after New Year’s Day will start repatriation work as scheduled, at the same time by the way to wish the U.S. Army’s idea of ending the war at Christmas as scheduled.
In this semi-public telegram, Allen Wilson was equally confident in the notion that the U.S. Army could win if it got serious.
It was not enough that he himself was full of confidence; the English-language newspapers in British Malaya also changed their earlier connotative tone to cheer the American troops who were fighting.
Can not just do so himself, but also through his fiancée Pamela Mountbatten, so that his fiancée control of the Australian newspapers that previously sang the opposite, but also to the U.S. Army this time to take an encouraging attitude to the attack.
Completely without before, because Britain did not send ground troops, and by the United States public opinion connotation of things angry.
At the critical moment, the unbreakable fact of the special relationship between Britain and the United States was presented to the world.
I, Great Britain, although did not send even a single army soldier to the war, but in matters of right and wrong, or to stand on the side of the United States, willing to provide all the help in addition to sending troops.
Public opinion on the second campaign, too, was thoroughly fired up by the addition of British opinion. With the traditionally unscathed force of British public opinion fully on board, it seemed that the battle had been won before it had even begun.
As time entered the end of November, the second battle, with the help of British public opinion, had captured the attention of the world. The U.S. Army had gotten serious.
The most explosive news was that Commander-in-Chief MacArthur had set up a list of war criminals in accordance with the Nuremberg Snake Plate. This news was so explosive that it surpassed all the previous reports that Britain had added to the story.
It even caught the attention of Prime Minister Adderley, who began to check the source of the news and expressed concern to President Truman.
At this moment, Alan Wilson also launched a final general attack on Anna, defeating the Dragoons who had recently stayed in Kuala Lumpur waiting for their husbands’ men of equal status.
“Dear Administrator, that alone is still not enough.” Anna winks, signaling a determination to fight again.
“It seems I must let you know know the majesty of the Sunset Empire.” Alan Wilson stared and took out the determination of the two world wars to cut down the German challenger.
The second campaign had also reached a critical point, and into December the American attempt had largely failed. It was at this point that Pravda in Moscow reported a story that there had been a surrender of an entire Negro unit in the U.S. Army.
