Chapter 610: A Shot in the Dark

“The current Japanese financial institutions are like a line stretched to its limit, with little elasticity.” Alan Wilson said to Ambassador Burgess in Japan after returning to the embassy, “A great deal of money is being poured into subsidies. Without U.S. aid it will collapse immediately.”

This was Allen Wilson’s conclusion from the information provided by the embassy that Japan’s economy should develop a little more slowly than it had historically because of the need to overcome the aftermath of the loss of Hokkaido.

This conclusion made Alan Wilson very happy, finally there was some good news at the level of the world situation, even if it was just a little bit.

The reason for this is that Japan is out of the front line against the Soviet Union, and the United States will not let the Japanese government fall even if it costs more than it did at the same time in history, so to expect Japan to just sink remains a wishful dream.

But it’s still good for Britain, and whether it’s Japan or the US behind it, paying more costs isn’t a bad thing.

“Alan, it looks like you’ve got some ideas.” Burgess was intrigued to know what ideas the man who was considered a promising prospect by his Whitehall colleagues had.

“I don’t have any particular ideas, just want Malaya to develop to the same level as Japan.” Alan Wilson replied schmoozingly, “As a strong complement to Britain, that would be enough.”

Whether Japan surpassed Britain during the Japanese boom of the 1980s depends on how one looks at it. If it is the quality of life per capita, Japan has never been at the level of Portugal, and the hard work it took to reach a similar per capita income was unimaginable in European countries.

If it refers to national economic strength, because the UK has financial advantages not so good compared, but still can say that Japan’s national economic strength exceeded that of the UK, just that this exceeding is based on the selflessness of the social animals.

Alan Wilson will understand the trajectory of Japan’s development, because the entire development trajectory of East Asia are one and the same, Japan’s road behind South Korea will also have, and then China is the same road.

First textile after steel, then home appliances shipbuilding, and finally semiconductors, textile steel are not much difficulty. Home appliances Britain is not a strong point, but to say shipbuilding well? At least now, Britain’s shipbuilding is still not worse than the United States.

And Britain also controls so many colonies, can be tilted out of a plastics industry. Used a few days to understand the current state of life in Japan and business management Allen Wilson, has been largely a bottom line.

This bottom line can be called Japan is not enough to worry about, wait until the need for talent to support the semiconductor era, Malaya should be the next generation has come of age, depending on the education above can not be surprising.

Anyway, Malaya’s school classroom also hangs a good study, every day, to see if Lin Lianyu is really afford the identity of educators.

These ideas he could not reveal in front of this Soviet spy, even preparing for the meeting with Ichiro Hatoyama, he also had to hide it from Burgess, to save the matter from being unclassified in the future to spread to him personally.

Than his kind of people engaged in intrigue, the United States company’s major shareholder Vivien Leigh, visit to the Japanese show business actors, obviously caused a bigger stir, although Vivien Leigh is British, but Gone with the Wind fame is in the United States, a lot of Japanese people do not know that Vivien Leigh is a Briton.

Fei Wenli even visited a trip to the U.S. military base, which can give Alan Wilson angry, in the national treasure back after the constant broken, “a British, to the military base to do what? Don’t they have actor laborers in America?”

“Honey, I was just going over there.” Vivien Lei admitted her mistake with an aggrieved look, “After all, the relationship between the UK and the US is an ally, so people invited me to just visit.”

“Britain and America special relationship?” Alan Wilson skimmed his lips, scoffed at this argument, but saw Fei Wenli’s aggrieved color heart a soft saying, “I’m a bit nosy, the political level of things should not be harsh on you.”

“It’s me who lacks consideration, by the way, tomorrow I will meet with Yachigusa Kaoru, that little actress, to be in charge of overseas promotion, this matter may also need to let Heidi help. She doesn’t know what’s going on, she only just showed up, Ingrid is off somewhere again, and that company in France is all run by Greta.” Fei Wen Li said this suddenly mysterious, “Dear, have you heard, it seems that Greta has a child, I really do not know who, actually can enter her heart.”

“I …… don’t know ah!” Alan Wilson’s answer appeared not to be perceptible twist, but immediately became decisive, he thought to himself that he had not walked into Greta Garbo’s heart, the relationship between the two is quite peculiar, more like the relationship of a collaborator, just cooperated out of a child.

“How strange!” Vivienne muttered in a small voice, making the man beside her change the subject as if he were on pins and needles, “I have a guest to see tomorrow as well, so I won’t be accompanying you.”

“Good!” Vivien Leigh agreed painfully, forgetting that she had never asked Alan Wilson to accompany her to see the actor she was to meet.

Compared to the current Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru Yoshida, Ichiro Hatoyama was considered a bureaucrat with a very deep background, and the influence of the Hatoyama family would continue.

Hatoyama Ichiro’s father is Hatoyama Kazuo, in the early years of the Meiji era to study in the United States Columbia University, became the most knowledgeable Japanese foreign affairs, after returning home to do the translation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, specializing in foreign affairs, and the Qing Dynasty Minister of the North Atlantic almost.

Hatoyama and Kazuo made it to the Japanese House of Representatives, became a senior bureaucrat in Japan, also ate the first wave of dividends of the Meiji Restoration, belongs to the typical of learning and excellence.

If he had not been hammered by the five-star Emperor MacArthur, Shigeru Yoshida would not have been able to match Ichiro Hatoyama at all.

Now Shigeru Yoshida and Ichiro Hatoyama parted ways only because he felt that after a few years as prime minister, he already had the capital and men to break bread with the crown prince of the old bureaucracy.

Alan Wilson has a certain impression of the Hatoyama family, in addition to Hatoyama Yukio, the Hatoyama family of each generation of politicians, are considered to be in the pro-US atmosphere in the midst of Japan, want to go to the middle of the road on behalf of.

As for Shigeru Yoshida, although he started late and had no son, he married his daughter into the Aso family, and Taro Aso is a descendant of Shigeru Yoshida.

Among the later LDP, the Hatoyama family belonged to the more center-line faction, but now among Ichiro Hatoyama’s supporters was a man named Nobusuke Kishi, and he had a brother named Eisaku Sato, who was now Shigeru Yoshida’s right-hand man.

When Alan Wilson looks at it this way, it turns out that Abe’s elders, as it turns out, are following the route of the Three Kingdoms Zhuge family. Several relatives served different bigwigs, really read the Three Kingdoms into the heart. Abe, the descendant of Kishi Nobusuke, also inherited Ichiro Hatoyama’s advocacy of amending Article 9.

Ichiro Hatoyama, who had only just made a comeback, waited for Allen Wilson, who came to his door, out of respect for this relatively peaceful figure who was rare in Japan’s military period.

Allen Wilson decided not to mention Hokkaido today, single-handedly stating that he had just contacted Nanyang and that the repatriation of the POWs could no longer be delayed, while Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida and also Minister of Finance Ikeda Yuto, refrained from responding positively.

“I wonder if the current government is a zombie? Mr. Hatoyama, I only just learned of your existence. Truth be told, we in Britain, as well as Holland, Portugal and Australia, are on the same page. And I don’t have the time to be in Japan endlessly to deal with this.”

Alan Wilson directly laid out his attitude, stating that the date for repatriation had already been set, hoping that Ichiro Hatoyama would use it to apply pressure.

Ichiro Hatoyama, who had just made a comeback, immediately recognized that this was an opportunity after hearing Alan Wilson’s words. An opportunity to turn on Shigeru Yoshida and get back at the other party for his ingratitude.

“Mr. Wilson, I apologize for the slowness that Britain, as well as other countries, have received in this matter.” Ichiro Hatoyama, who realized that this was an opportunity, came straight to a bow and apologized for the matter, “Those POWs were also hoodwinked by ****, and of course they want to return to their own countries. And Yoshida Shigeru, as well as Ikeda Yuto, the attitude in this matter is not due diligence.”

People Japanese have bowing law habit, Allen Wilson is not good to refuse, directly big bared to accept, at the same time gave a previous meeting with the U.S. military part of the voice of the U.S. domestic, the U.S. hope that Japan has the ability to basic self-defense.

Hatoyama Ichiro has been advocating the revision of Article 9, and now MacArthur, who kicked Hatoyama Ichiro off the prime minister’s throne in the first place, has returned to the United States in disgrace. It can be said that the biggest obstacle is gone!

Otherwise, Ichiro Hatoyama wouldn’t have been so coincidental as to make a comeback after MacArthur left Japan and couldn’t recover from his illness for five years? Recovered just after MacArthur left? There is something fishy here that even Alan Wilson, a Brit, can see.

It was nothing more than Ichiro Hatoyama sensing a chance for a comeback after MacArthur left.

Now that Allen Wilson is at his door, it is an operation to pass the knife of his own accord, with Shigeru Yoshida holding on to the prime minister’s seat. Then make trouble through this POW repatriation issue.

It didn’t take long for Allen Wilson and Ichiro Hatoyama to reach a consensus that POW repatriation should begin immediately. Each of the two men was responsible for a part of it. Allen Wilson was in charge of overseas public opinion to let Japan feel the attitude of the enemy of the free world.

Ichiro Hatoyama, on the other hand, gathered the Japanese legislators still loyal to him and operated the POW issue to take on the Shigeru Yoshida cabinet.

For Ichiro Hatoyama, who had just made a comeback but had already been poured with cold water by Shigeru Yoshida, the POW issue could be a good knife. It was a one-shot deal with Allen Wilson.

In a good mood, Ichiro Hatoyama even wanted to stay Alan Wilson for a meal and experience Japanese culture.

Allen Wilson declined, in the 21st century, the so-called Japanese culture is equivalent to ***** the hearts of the Chinese netizens in the twenty-first century.

The U.S. Army among a variety of reproductive diseases are widespread, even MacArthur was hit, he felt it is better to be careful.
