Chapter 602 – A Discussion to Determine the Future
If the first three battles, the U.S. Army was chasing the explosive hammer because of the U.S. Army combat habits, resulting in a series of debacles, then the fourth battle is undoubtedly the first time both sides to take out the full force of the contest.
U.S. troops were surrounded immediately have to withdraw the phobia did not appear, the powerful air force and ground firepower, supported by a pinpoint fight, and now both sides of the battle should have a certain understanding of each other’s strength.
At least Li Qiwei is not as arrogant as MacArthur, just arrived in the Peninsula has been insight into the weakness of the opponent.
In the fourth battle, both sides have a realization of the strength of the comparison at the same time, the heart of the same expressed shock. This time the battle is compared to the first three battles the intensity of war is considered an unprecedented increase.
In fact, it should be the U.S. opponents more shocked, this is still the first three battles of the U.S. army was chasing the hammer? How did it become so difficult all of a sudden?
The end of the fourth battle at the same time, have felt that their opponents are difficult is an illusion, they just need to put in a little more effort can change the whole situation of the two sides, immediately opened the same intensity of the fifth battle.
“In the last few days, there seems to be something about the MiG corridor in American public opinion.” Pamela Mountbatten, also following the progress of the war, asked to her fiancé, who she claimed to be an expert, “I thought the air force was a very technical branch of the military, anyway, that’s what the air force generals are saying, and father’s still upset about it.”
“Do you really think all the planes in the MiG corridor are flown by Chinese?” Alan Wilson asked rhetorically, full of concern, “There’s no denying that some of them must be, but with the power of the country as it is now, the Chinese aren’t good enough to make that much progress in the air force.”
“Could it be the Soviets?” Pamela Mountbatten let out a gasp, immediately a hand gagged her mouth, Alan Wilson covered the woman’s mouth and whispered, “Don’t dare to talk nonsense, I don’t have any proof, just a reasonable suspicion.”
The question about who was the main force in the MIG corridor was not a secret at all in later times, Marshal Vasilevsky’s Soviet Air Division secretly entered the war and sneaked up on the American Air Force who hadn’t even realized it yet.
Another point is that the MIG corridor was only a defensive interdiction area, and throughout the war the USAAF had unquestionably occupied absolute air control from beginning to end.
Now at this time, the USAF should have just discovered the existence of the MIG corridor, not yet knowing exactly who their opponents were, and had a few airplanes taken out in a double-take, casually explaining it that way.
“The Soviets joined the war directly, are they crazy? If the Americans found out, it would be world war.” Pamela Mountbatten managed to break free of her fiancé’s hand and asked rhetorically with an incredulous look on her face, “Doesn’t Moscow realize the gravity of the situation?”
“So do you think Washington doesn’t realize the gravity?” Alan Wilson said nonchalantly, “Even if it does, do you really think that the United States will do whatever it takes for the so-called free world? That’s all an illusion, only we Brits can protect Britain, we have plenty of time to investigate this matter slowly.”
Will the US actually go to war with the USSR because of its allies, I should say so, the French don’t believe in it anyway or they wouldn’t have to build up an independent nuclear force.
If the U.S. really has this determination to protect its allies, at the cost of a world war with the Soviet Union as a prerequisite. Then the likelihood of this in descending order would be the Five Eyes Coalition, Europe, and as for Japan and the Middle East in no particular order, or even the possibility of not sending troops.
As for the rest of the places, the United States is very willing to carry out weapons support and public opinion solidarity, out of the army is not even think about it. In the direction of East Asia, only the Japanese archipelago is worth a war for the U.S. military, because without the support of the Japanese mainland, the U.S. military, with the archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, is almost driven out of half of the Pacific Ocean.
As for South Korea and the fraudulent islands, if it is the United Kingdom to face a similar situation, he still think burying nuclear mines is more useful.
At this time Alan Wilson recalled that today the Soviet Union occupies a Hokkaido, may be the United States headache days are still ahead.
Pamela Mountbatten is still far from Alan Wilson so calm, muttering to himself, “It’s really hard to imagine. So whether the Americans know or don’t know now.”
“Knowing or not knowing has never been a political question, and the U.S. can always deny it if possible.” Alan Wilson mused, “But we can investigate after the war is over, it might come in handy later.”
Sighing at his fiancée’s naivety, Alan Wilson spoke, “Why else would we develop nuclear weapons? We’ll never know until it’s time for a world war, if the United States will actually answer the war for Europe.”
When he returned to London, the fourth battle had not yet ended, and now the fifth was all but underway.
In terms of the intensity of the war, after five battles the war had actually taken on a certain tinge of vigilante warfare, and both sides understood psychologically that driving the other side out of the peninsula was not going to happen.
Allen Wilson will be after the war, investigate some about the massacre of American troops on the peninsula, as well as the Soviet air force to participate in the war, the evidence in the hands, if the United States pushed the United Kingdom too hard, it will be released to nausea and disgust the United States.
Soviet MiG units were stationed in northeastern China, and according to U.S. government regulations at the time, U.S. forces were strictly prohibited from flying over the Yalu River into Chinese airspace. So the Soviets set up radar installations, ground control centers, searchlights and a large number of anti-aircraft guns.
American airmen gritted their teeth at the government’s ban, but years later they realized that their opponents needed to be disciplined as well.
The matter was pinched in the hand, and in time, if friction arose between Britain and the United States, it was released as evidence that the United States was simply too afraid to face the Soviet challenge, or at least that it could be used to blackmail the United States if the Nassau Conference still arose.
In Whitehall’s shrewd and capable style, Alan Wilson finally got his hands on three million two hundred thousand copies of the cosigned guarantees in May, and almost on the same day he wanted to return to Malaya.
“What’s the hurry?” Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the monkey wrenching look, “Could it be, my dear, that Reverse can’t wait to go to Asia to benefit society?”
“That’s not true, the main thing is that Malaya gives me a handful of feelings, who wants to accompany the smiling face in London.” Alan Wilson grunted, “There’s a saying in the East that a man can’t live without power.”
Pamela Mountbatten knew that after taking care of the matter of storming the POW camp, the two would enter the marriage hall, very reluctant to keep sending her fiancé to the airport.
With the high hopes of the 10 million, or possibly 5.9 million, people of British Malaya, Alan Wilson arrived in Kuala Lumpur after hearing two successful transits and had completed a report on the plane about the idea of establishing a staging area in the Middle East, near the UAE, to be used for servicing the global airline.
This is exactly the line of development of Dubai in later times, in the era of globalized air transport developed, Dubai’s geographical advantages began to reflect. The distance from the Pearl on the Persian Gulf to Europe, Asia and Africa is not very far, which is very suitable for an air transit station. The Dubai government saw this coming.
This plan also helps Britain to maintain its influence in the Middle East, if it is only oil, it may not be enough for Britain to maintain its current military power, if there is an aviation factor added, plus now the London government’s emphasis on the Comet airliner, it can improve some certainty.
Walked off the plane Allen Wilson in the return to the Executive Office, experienced a MacArthur in Tokyo treatment, different law is MacArthur in Japan to complete land reform, is really embraced by a group of Japanese people.
And his car was surrounded, may not be entirely because of the adoration, he previously carried out the land distribution bill is biased in favor of Malaya, when did the Chinese and the Malays close to the family.
“Have the MCA and Mr. Soo come here tomorrow, oh yes, bring Tian Qianqiu out from inside the prison, and don’t come near my office tomorrow unless I I call someone.” Alan Wilson made a few commands immediately after entering the Executive Office, “Prepare the Executive Office, I’m going to make a broadcast tomorrow night.”
“Got it, Commissioner!” Alisa nodded her head and asked, “You seem to be very happy, is the situation in the country good.”
“To say it’s good is really kind of good. Thanks to our American allies.” Alan Wilson laughed, “You have also heard that the United States and China have confiscated each other’s property within their borders, what a brave and admirable act.”
After the U.S. announced the freezing of Chinese property in the U.S., the Soviet Union took a proactive approach by quickly transferring various assets deposited in U.S. banks to two banks established in Europe during the Russian Empire, the People’s Bank of Moscow in London and the Nordic Bank of Commerce in Paris, which was of course gladly accepted by Britain and France.
As for recent European public opinion, which is decrying the corruption and incompetence of Lee Seung-wan’s regime, what can the British Empire have in mind that is so bad. Nothing more than an instinctive reaction to the fact that the American army is in the dust and they themselves have not entered the war.
British Malayan newspapers, the report on the return of Allen Wilson, the commissioner, let him experience a little MacArthur’s treatment, he knows the Chinese characters, and does not need to pretend with others.
On the next day, the Chinese leaders who had been following the progress of events and were looking forward to the pardons of King George VI being brought back, arrived at the Kuala Lumpur Administrative Office one by one, as promised, waiting with bated breath for Alan Wilson to bring out the pardons and bring the storming of the POW camps to a close.
“Honorable gentlemen, thank you for the contributions you have made to Malaya for so long.” Allen Wilson and quickly switched to the state of the Malayan Commissioner, the days here were just more comfortable than in London, especially with the gentle treatment of the Great British Treasure.
With formulaic words to do the opening speech, Alan Wilson is not in a hurry to raise the hands of the amnesty order of the Road, “So now, should we talk about the conditions? This is about the pattern of Malaya in the next few decades.”
