Chapter 607: The Pot That Never Boils
If not he is also considered to have worked together, know what Alan Wilson did in British India, but also really believe the words of this imperialism, speak in a voice, also do not know who taught.
At this very moment, Vivien Leigh, who was resting in her hotel, sneezed, the Dragoon Sisters of Bonn were bemused, and the Peckerwood Studios of Paris seemed to be shrouded in the midst of karmic action.
“But I admit you’re right, and I’ve noticed since I’ve been in office that the Japanese do have their heads in the sand.” Burgess did partly agree with Alan Wilson.
“Maybe even more powerful than Britain in the future.” Allen Wilson said with a half-serious look.
“Impossible!” Burgess flatly denied, “Alan, do you realize what you’re saying? On the level of Japan?”
“I know, the level of Portugal.” Alan Wilson signaled for a moment’s peace and took his words back, “I was just joking.”
I didn’t expect this Soviet spy, but he was also someone who loved his country, Allen Wilson couldn’t say anything else.
In fact, this was a misunderstanding, what Allen Wilson had just said was the level that Japan might reach in the future. As for Burgess, of course, does not know the future, this ambassador to Japan in the eyes of Japan, really is the level of Portugal.
Japan’s national strength and military power in Asia is considered a crane, placed in Europe there is only one advantage is the nail in the coffin, that is, the population. The Japanese Army was nowhere near the level of pre-war Poland, Czechoslovakia, or just the Iberian Peninsula.
The only thing Japan could rely on was that its soldiers were likely to be hard-working and hard-working, and it was simply not comparable to Britain in terms of national strength. Japan’s total production of tanks in World War II was only 5,000 tanks.
World War I in 1918, the British expeditionary force in Europe, while equipped with three thousand three hundred tanks. The Japanese Army was simply at the level of World War I in Europe, except for its tenacity in combat.
The U.S. Army, which is not known for its combat spirit, is currently making its presence felt throughout Japan.
Not on the same channel as the ambassador to Japan, Allen Wilson changed the subject, stating that he had come to Tokyo to talk about the repatriation of prisoners of war, and was also acting as an agent for the Netherlands, as well as prisoners of war in the hands of Australia and Portugal, which would be repatriated by the four countries at the same time.
“So that’s it!” Burgess finally stopped dwelling on the topic of whether Japan and Britain could be compared, and asked rhetorically, “Have they all been communicated? Several countries are fine with it.”
“No problem, it’s pretty much what should be used.” Alan Wilson shrugged, “The one with the toughest attitude was Australia, and now it’s also agreed.”
“World War II really affected Australia a lot.” Burgess nodded solemnly, “You must have done a lot of convincing, it must not have been easy.”
“Australia had no problem.” Alan Wilson smiled slightly, indicating that it hadn’t taken much spit either.
The top resource country configuration of the fifth planet was a joke, and for the foreseeable future, no matter how Australia jumped. None of it would have too bad a time.
In fact the retention of British Malaya could prevent Australia from going the other way. The Australians who believe most strongly that blood is thicker than water, once faced with a threat in the direction of Asia, beyond Australia’s own national strength.
Alan Wilson was able to envision a possibility that there was public opinion in Australia to merge with the United States.
Anyway, the situation in the twenty-first century, Australia does have the possibility of being held hostage by a major power with the economy into a satellite state.
However, it is clear that Australia is not prepared to follow whoever is strong, but stands firmly by the side of the U.S. It can even be envisioned that there is really no other way out, Australia can merge with the U.S..
Five-eye alliance in Australia is the most believe that blood is thicker than water, the possibility of this happening is absolutely there.
Australia’s ambassador to the United States has said that he would be willing to pay any economic price for a confrontational U.S. policy. Such words could be said, and the merger was by no means a pipe dream.
Currently facing Japan, Alan Wilson knows in his heart that Australia still has a hatred for Japan. The work he now did kept Australia’s hatred alive as long as possible, preferring Malaya, where there was little hatred, to American-occupied Japan and British-occupied Malaya.
Now he thought it was fair to say that Malaya had almost all the local support of the whole British Empire that could still maintain its influence. Except for the size of the population, it should be in no worse condition than Japan, which had lost Hokkaido.
Through the embassy, Burgess was in touch with the commander of the Far Eastern Air Force, George Sturtemeyer. In fact, this war on the peninsula must have been on a larger scale than in history because of the presence of Soviet air bases in Hokkaido.
Alan Wilson met this commander of the Far Eastern Air Force and volunteered that he was making a special trip over to Japan to express his apologies. At the same time the official opening of the repatriation process, which requires the friendly help of the American troops in Japan.
“At present Japan’s position is more and more important, we in Britain and close allies such as Holland, Portugal, Australia and so on also think so, the hatred of the past can be put aside for the time being.”
Alan Wilson made a magnanimous gesture to state, “General George, what do you think?”
Although the other party is a first-line general, Allen Wilson is not very intimidated, Mountbatten is also now a lieutenant general, when following the process to become the commander of the Grand Fleet, it is a proper admiral.
“Oh, Commissioner Wilson, thank you for the support of the allies. The current situation in Japan has tentatively stabilized, but there is a real Soviet threat in Hokkaido.” Lt. Gen. George Streitmeyer, expressing his gratitude for the support of his allies, said that the U.S. forces in Japan would be happy to see it happen.
“Oh, damn the Soviets.” Allen Wilson expressed the common position with a heavy face. Forgetting for a moment that at the embassy he was personally ecstatic about the Soviet occupation of Hokkaido, what else? not conducive to the development and consolidation of the special Anglo-American relationship.
Hokkaido is, after all, previously Japan’s second-largest island, but also Japan very late in the full occupation of the island, naturally sparsely populated, Allen Wilson somewhat strange, it seems that East Asia in the aspect of marine exploration, the performance of the performance of all very general.
Mainland China is still excusable, itself in the ocean surrounded by Japan, until the nineteenth century to the Ryukyu Islands expansion, this time is also considered very late.
For a long time, the Japanese were constantly circling around Honshu, and the occupation of Hokkaido was very inefficient. Now, well, the Soviet Union had taken Hokkaido over.
Allen Wilson raised a possibility in front of Lt. Gen. George Streitmeyer, “Has there been any communication about Hokkaido, and how did the Soviets respond?”
“No response!” George Streitmeyer said with a bitter laugh, “Even less of a response now that war has broken out.”
“One has to consider the possibility that the Soviet Union will eventually choose to annex Hokkaido.” Alan Wilson spoke with a heavy face, “With the Russians’ character, this is very likely to happen.”
This was definitely not alarmist talk, this possibility definitely existed, Allen Wilson thought that there might not be any North or South Japan at all, Hokkaido was an island, and the Soviet Union was not likely to be able to support it like it could use land in the direction of Europe.
The Soviet Union’s entire national strategy also does not allow the establishment of a strong navy to defend Hokkaido at this stage, it is highly likely that the choice of one or the other, directly annexed Hokkaido.
I just don’t know what opportunity will arise in a short period of time to be utilized by the Soviet Union, and once that opportunity arises, Japan will have to officially say goodbye to Hokkaido.
“Actually, we have similar concerns, and if that were to happen, the situation would be bad. A part of the opinion is that Japan should be armed immediately, and that U.S. troops in Japan won’t be able to solve everything, and that the Japanese will have to afford a portion of their self-defense.” George Sturtemeyer, still valued the special Anglo-American relationship.
Alan Wilson has made a decision in his mind that today’s conversation must not be said to Burgess, or Moscow will know.
The United States is ready to arm Japan faster than the pace of history, which is unexpected and reasonable, after all, the consequences of the loss of Hokkaido, is not the four northern islands can be compared, Hokkaido can really be used as a front position to attack Japan.
The strait between Hokkaido and Honshu could be so described that a tiger could swim across it. This is absolutely no joke, tigers can swim well enough to get through a strait about the width of the Strait of Malacca, the proof of which is the existence of the Sumatran tiger.
After cementing the special Anglo-American relationship, according to the plan, Alan Wilson was supposed to meet with Isato Ikeda. Still, he decided to sleep with Vivien Leigh before considering the matter.
The war on the peninsula had been given a boost by the Japanese economy, and geographically Japan served as a rear base on the peninsula. Thanks to America’s investment in the war, it was sort of free from the embarrassment of not being able to eat.
However, because of the differences in details, such as the Hokkaido issue, the United States is now not ready to raise Japan first, want to let Japan early self-defense, saving the U.S. military expenditure.
Alan Wilson of course thought it was a good thing, so that Japan to play the import and export replacement cost subsidy is not so strong.
Britain’s military spending occupies a proportion of fiscal expenditure he is aware of, Japan is certainly not possible to get rid of military restrictions. But investing even a little bit more in military spending will cause financial pressure.
In front of Isato Ikeda, seated on the floor, Alan Wilson almost failed in expression management, turning his apologetic thoughts into gloating.
“The Japanese government should take the initiative to protest against Moscow, how can other countries help Japan speak up if you all keep quiet?” Allen Wilson, who was clearly talking about POW repatriation, pounced on the current sore point of the whole of Japan.
Hokkaido is now a pain in the neck of the Japanese nation, the loss of overseas territories even the Korean Peninsula can only be described as spitting out the fruits of previous expansion, but Hokkaido was already Japan’s national territory during the Shogunate period, and the loss has caused the Japanese people to feel heartache.
Even Isato Ikeda’s humble politeness that he had been putting on after hearing Allen Wilson’s disappeared. In front of Alan Wilson, who had almost failed in expression management, the first expression management failed.
