Chapter 605 – A Trip to Japan

After all this was done, there was one more thing to do, and that was to restart the repatriation of the prisoners of war, for which Alan Wilson was specifically willing to make a trip to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, for the sake of the consolidation and development of the traditional Anglo-Japanese relationship, to put an end to the onslaught on the prisoner of war camps.

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Allen Wilson was taken aback and muttered, “I’ve damn well given everything for British Malaya!”

If this had appeared to anyone else, he had no problem evaluating this behavior as stupid, but for him to do so himself was undoubtedly touching, showing noble sentiments, kindness that no words could describe.

Although only a few days ago he just put 30,000 criminals unconditionally released, in exchange for the stability of the Chinese community, but it does not matter, there are bow craftsman spirit of the Japanese, will be able to understand his good intentions, is not apologized for it.

And Fei Wenli said this idea, the latter immediately expressed interest in the exotic flavor, want to see the country’s current appearance, the only hidden worry is, what about the son?

Since it is out of business, Fei Wenli can control themselves, do not give Alan Wilson trouble, but the two children still need someone else to take care of, very much want to travel with the man Fei Wenli, immediately let their own assistants in the United States film industry, to take over the care of the love of the crystallization of the work.

“There’s no rush anyway, I can wait.” Alan Wilson smiled gently, “Maybe the Japanese still think I’m prudent.”

Going on a trip to Japan was indeed a whim, but after this idea surged, as an on-staff member of MI6, Alan Wilson immediately thought of the benefits, without seeing this era’s Japan once with his own eyes, there was no way to compare it from documents and photographs. Only by touching it once in person could one understand what this opponent set inside his head was really like.

“Going to Japan?” Alyssa, the former assistant and of course still the assistant of the Western Horse Commissioner, heard the job arranged by her top boss, and her mood swings were obviously a little more intense.

Civil servants in British India, even if they were still in school at the time, but they can also think of when the Japanese army westward to British India to bring the vibration, and if it is not the Japanese army ravaged in Asia, the United Kingdom in the post-war period will definitely not be so passive. Asian battlefield gray head, so that the post-war Britain paid a huge price, and ultimately did not leave British India.

So how could Alisa have a favorable impression of Japan, the displeasure on her face was obvious.

“Alisa, build up Singapore so we have a chance to temper the Japanese later. British Malaya is in our hands, and if we can, Japan should not cross the strait in the future. If Japanese ships are willing to go the long way around, we are indifferent.” Allen Wilson softly reassured, “That country Japan is finished, and American troops will never be withdrawn.”

“I’m just pissed off, if the Germans weren’t such a threat, where would they get their turn?” Alyssa muttered unsurprised.

“That’s why we have to pick on them when we have nothing else to do.” Alan Wilson sat up straight, indicating that there was still a long time to go.

He could understand Alyssa’s anger, but who let Japan occupy the ground. When Germany was a threat to the British mainland, the Royal Navy had to keep the Atlantic route open.

The Asian side is naturally unable to care, although the Japanese Combined Fleet has never even one year, close to the strength of the Royal Navy, but the European direction has Germany cushion, Britain will not dare to draw fleet to Asia.

In fact, the Prince of Wales battleships should not come over, that is purely a choice made by Churchill MP. When the battleship Prince of Wales was sunk, what was the point of talking about pain? To whom?

Churchill MP is also relying on the accumulation of the United Kingdom is rich enough, replaced by a weak country, you can and Chang Gong Crouching Dragon Phoenix, the United Kingdom has appeared in this kind of prime minister, but also really unfortunate.

“After I left, and Australia to maintain communication, borrow the power of public opinion, I am really afraid that the Japanese can make the decision to let the prisoners of war to their own destruction, as for my purpose to go to Tokyo, so to Malaya’s subjects, the Commissioner is to go to Tokyo to ask for compensation for war damage to Malaya during the Second World War.”

Alisha was a little surprised and blurted out, “The Japanese will give it, they don’t seem like atmospheric people to me.”

“Isn’t not giving a good excuse? You won’t have to be polite when you collect tolls in the future.” Alan Wilson smiled slightly, of course he would ask for it, but indeed he also thought that the Japanese would not give it, “Anyway, I am ready to enjoy the long history and culture of Japan.”

But after the initial recovery of Japanese shipping, a few knocks on the head should make it clear which end is more and which is less.

“Then Commissioner, have a good time.” At the sound of taking in history and culture, Alisa almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She was really remembering that her top boss had said that when faced with a foreigner who couldn’t think of any good points, just praise the other person’s culture because there was no standard for this thing called culture, and you could blow it awkwardly with your eyes closed, and the other person wouldn’t refute it.

“What are you laughing at?” The subordinate’s action let Alan Wilson saw, a little thought the more understand why Alisa laugh, “this response is still especially good in front of the ancient civilization, we work here for a long time to contact with the Chinese, understand? Even in front of the Greeks.”

Greece was also a small country, otherwise, its influence in the western world was absolutely extraordinary.

Alan Wilson, who fought to get compensation for British Malaya, but in fact simply forced the Japanese to accept disabled prisoners of war, started preparing for the trip to Japan straight away.

Vivien Lei was very much looking forward to this exotic trip, mainly because she was accompanied by this man, which made her very happy.

With a smile on her face all day long, she picked out a few coats of her choice and kept trying them on in front of Allen Wilson.

“Alan, what else do I need to pay attention to, to reflect the lady style?” Fei Wenli looking in the mirror to look at self-pity, and then in front of Alan Wilson turned around, Malaya’s weather is not not hot time, only tossed for a while on the sweat.

“Notice what? There’s nothing to notice!” Alan Wilson flabbergasted for a moment, thought carefully and shook his head, “Not to mention Japan, the entire East has nothing worth noticing.”

All the rules of today’s world are set by Europe, where is there anything to pay attention to? As far as Japan is concerned, what else is there to pay attention to when MacArthur walks away and is on the verge of offering MacArthur up?

The place to pay attention to is when the Japanese play bow craftsman spirit, mental reminder of this is surface engineering, never believe it on the line.

Before leaving, he did not forget to repeat to the agents of the Security and Intelligence Committee once again to keep an eye on Lin Lianyu. Only then did Alan Wilson feel relieved to be on his way to embark on this British-Japanese goodwill tour.

Obediently take the disabled prisoners of war to pick up all good, or let the Netherlands and Australia in the hands of the prisoners of war not only to withhold, but also to let the Japanese enjoy the treatment of public opinion of the enemies of the free world.

This is not easy, Japan after the war there is a special term to describe the social problems brought about by these Imperial Japanese soldiers, called the wounded soldiers. During the war, war-wounded soldiers were called “honorably wounded”. When they returned to their hometowns after being discharged from the war, the local community took care of and assisted the wounded soldiers, often on their own initiative.

However, with the defeat of the war, the fervor for the war cooled rapidly. Instead, there was a rapid explosion of articles reflecting on the war, condemning the military government, and exposing the suffering of ordinary people.

In this climate of social opinion, social assistance and support for Japanese wounded veterans rapidly cooled.

Many of the disabled and wounded soldiers of the Japanese army were in fact only the laboring class of society before the war. It was difficult for them to find regular and stable jobs after their discharge.

They were eventually trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and fell to the bottom of the social ladder. They became poor and malnourished, lacking medical care and medicine.

They even become criminals, engaging in small business in the black market, and some of them join the triads. They lead a very unstable and dangerous life, causing great social problems.

When these soldiers went back, not only would they not be treated generously, but they were almost doomed to become marginalized members of society.

It is precisely for this reason that these soldiers who are no longer able to be a labor force must be repatriated. If they were prisoners of war in the hands of the Soviet Union, they would probably have to be re-educated or something.

But Allen Wilson was not a Soviet, and he was not prepared to take on Soviet obligations for the very simple purpose of getting the current Japanese government to hurry up and take over the mess. As to whether these repatriated POWs would become a social problem, even if they did, it would be a social problem for Japan.

Alan Wilson also brought a few POWs in charge of logistics to act as interpreters, and compared to the Army Maru, these POWs who were now in charge of the logistics of the Royal Navy fleet should be thankful that they had not been affected by the last round of storming of the POW camps.

Likewise, these POWs, who belonged to the skilled services, were not being repatriated, and there was still value in these POWs who had served in the Combined Fleet of Japan when it came to the vintage battleships, which were already clearly overstaying their usefulness.

“Ozawa, where are you from?” Allen Wilson was rather bored with his time on the ship, and was looking for someone to talk too.

“Osaka!” Ichiro Ozawa replied with some restraint,, “Mr. Allen, I wonder how my family is doing.”

“War is a cruel thing for a family.” Allen Wilson instinctively added a bit of civil service talk, then cleared his throat feeling that it wasn’t necessary at all, and turned the conversation around, “It’s especially cruel to the losers. But then I remembered, it seems the Osaka Division is famous.”

“My brother once served in the 4th Division, I wonder if he’s still alive.” Ichiro Ozawa spoke a little grimly; the Osaka Division had been part of the Confederate Army just before the surrender, and he didn’t know which POW camp his brother was in.

It was fine if it was just labor, but if he was already dead in a POW camp, he wondered if Osaka’s family would be sad.

Alan Wilson had some rare guilt, and in his heart, he decided not to idly show kindness in the future, leaving behind the Confederate Army and even the subsequent storming of the POW camps was all orchestrated by him.

The direct murderer should still try to avoid appearing in front of the victim, thinking of this point, before arriving in Tokyo, Allen Wilson never again had a conversation with these POW interpreters, concentrating on accompanying the national treasure.
