Chapter 612 The First Prisoners of War

Allen Wilson understood that the commander of the Far East Air Force in front of him, who appeared at this time, was also a point-blank reminder.

Japan is an American place, like Allen Wilson and Japanese political bigwigs have met, as the military representative of the U.S. forces in Japan, Lieutenant General George heart is very uncomfortable.

This Allen Wilson also implied that he had no intention of making trouble in Japan, and to put it bluntly Britain did not have the ability to do so. This response made Lieutenant General George very satisfied, the British still know how many pounds of their own.

On the one hand, Britain is really not capable of making trouble in Japan, or in Japan under the control of the United States.

On the other hand, Alan Wilson is also respect for the American forces in Japan, especially in front of the eyes of Lieutenant General George, the next few years, the United States Far East Air Force will be very important, there is no need to offend each other.

After five large-scale battles, the opposing sides should have an understanding of each other.

In fact it was after five campaigns that the story of the MiG corridor proliferated, and it was after five campaigns that it was heavily covered. The reason for this was that the lack of progress on the ground and the increased American reliance on the Far Eastern Air Forces to gain the initiative in the war was what allowed the fighting over the peninsula to intensify.

Considering that Lt. Gen. George was an American, Alan Wilson was too embarrassed to mention Hokkaido as if it were in front of the Japanese, and instead loyally wished the U.S. forces a quick opening of the stalemate.

“If only the British government could talk as well as Mr. Wilson.” Lieutenant General George didn’t think too much of it, and hearing Allen Wilson’s good wishes for the war, he returned a friendly response.

Allen Wilson made a helpless look and laughed, “Honorable General, we can’t control the politicians’ affairs. And to be honest, most of the current members of Whitehall understand that Britain is not what it used to be, and all colleagues want is to rake in a proper pension and live a quiet life in peace.”

Alan Wilson felt that if his career was not going well, he could consider hugging Vivien Leigh’s thighs and plunging into acting, and if he prepared for a few years, how could he not fish for the title of an old actor, and support each other with the many actresses who would remain in the history of the world, or something like that.

George Lieutenant General’s attitude is very good, Alan Wilson also expressed good wishes, Britain did not participate in the war of unpleasantness, the two are heartfelt did not mention.

After talking for a while and both clarifying each other’s bottom line, Lt. General George made sure that the British didn’t know no better and messed up on American turf, then both sides still maintained the special Anglo-American relationship.

“But I heard that Mr. Hatoyama, seems to want to rebuild the defense system.” Alan Wilson spoke up, not exactly betraying anyone, Ichiro Hatoyama’s claims were known to many.

“In fact, I personally have no objection to establishing a certain amount of self-defense force alone. It mainly depends on Washington’s attitude.” Lt. Gen. George, as a military man, was reluctant to take a stand on political matters at the current time for the simple reason that MacArthur, the five-star Mikado who had been bibbing at President Truman, had only just rolled out of the door a short time ago.

In case you don’t know, what happened to the faction that finished the Korean War in history? Alan Wilson laughed in his heart.

Together with MacArthur, including Li Qiwei and Van Fleet all interrupted their rising career paths and simply withdrew from the front-line troops when they reached the age, and even Van Fleet, who did not have a high presence, was questioned by Washington for wasting ammunition because of the amount of ammunition that Van Fleet had been wasting, and Van Fleet was eventually transferred out. And Eisenhower’s faction continued to shine among the future of the U.S. military in stark contrast.

In fact, comparing how MacArthur, whose popularity far exceeded Eisenhower’s before the Korean War, was later overtaken by Eisenhower, the answer to this is obvious to the individual.

Farewell to Lieutenant General George, Allen Wilson also mentioned that he will soon be married, when the time comes to invite a friend to attend the wedding, just do not know whether the other party has time then.

“Who is it?” Lieutenant General George asked back with a curious look.

“Oh, Senator McCarthy, we have been keeping in touch by letter.” Alan Wilson smiled with a reserved face.

For his wedding, he didn’t invite any friends, other than his colleagues in Whitehall, in his heart, he was only prepared to invite McCarthy alone.

Pamela Mountbatten, although she said that she was not willing to make a big deal, but in terms of General Mountbatten’s connections, as well as Whitehall colleagues may be able to hold the scene, not to make a big deal there is also a limit.

It’s just that it doesn’t have to be a big deal, which is actually a good opportunity for McCarthy. Once invited, McCarthy believed that he would be very willing to do so, because he also needed to show up on such a big occasion to raise his self-esteem.

When Lt. General George left, he expressed his congratulations to Allen Wilson because of McCarthy’s name, and what about the special relationship between Britain and the U.S. being even more solidified!

“Hmph!” Allen Wilson lightly grunted, reversed back to the ambassador to Japan tube, tea, on tea, please on tea!

Some personal door-to-door mention from Lt. Gen. George, or could it be said that the warning worked? That’s what he thought.

A team of a dozen or so professional journalists, in fact Philby’s hand-picked MI6 agents arrived in Tokyo.

These men were not arriving in Tokyo to do anything to Japan, but to prepare to enter the Peninsula theater as war correspondents. And the real purpose was to secretly investigate the massacre of civilians by US and Korean forces during the war over the course of the next few years.

Alan Wilson remembers, the U.S. military can do more than once this kind of concentrated massacre of things, the reason why the Korean leftists in the whole cold war are restless, has been stupid so that the U.S. had to rely on the military government to suppress, is because a lot of massacres have clear evidence, and the U.S. military themselves also admitted.

Investigating the matter wasn’t about the British Empire trying to weed out the weak, after all the US was too strong. Rather, it was to seize the handle in hand, and it was good for Britain to be prepared.

This matter as the MI6 internal successor Philby is very willing to help, using the power in his hands to form this team attached to the major media, completely legitimate media people’s agents to come over to help.

“Even if it’s a traitor, it depends on how it’s used!” For Philby’s efficiency, Alan Wilson was very much recognized.

The experience from the North Rhodesia and Malaya shock POW camp incident, told Allen Wilson that in addition to the bundle of interests, co-crime is also a good way to bind each other, and there is a reason for the existence of such a thing as defection.

If it was possible to seize evidence of the mass slaughter of civilians by American troops during the war, Britain might be able to trade off the possibility of a full retreat at a critical moment.

Alan Wilson is of course hopeful that Britain will be able to set out from a position of strength and preserve the interests it holds in its hands. But if it can’t do that, there is nothing wrong with using a little bit of outside the dish to make the United States stop in moderation.

“I do believe Philby, but whether these agents are professional or not, or should create an opportunity. Let’s see if we get into the middle of the reporter’s role.” Alan Wilson asked as he glanced at the agents on this assignment in front of Burgess, “There will be a group of POWs arriving in Tokyo soon, and the scene that will test your photographic skills is about to appear.”

“Alan, what do you want to do?” Burgess frowned, he wasn’t in a good position to judge Alan Wilson’s behavior, but the two events didn’t seem to have much to do with each other.

“Repatriating the prisoners of war, the end of the war is something to celebrate after all.” Allen Wilson said this turn of phrase, lowered his voice and asked, “Embassy employees, there is no keep a Japanese mistress or something like that, on this condition in Japan now, I believe that there is absolutely.”

“Directly say the purpose!” Burgess frowned slightly, really speechless at Alan Wilson’s thinking.

“It’s simple, how do you set up the headline of repatriating the POWs? Here’s what I’m thinking, the front page headline should ideally feature, in one photo, a ragged, and preferably somewhat lewd, Japanese POW returning home, walking down a busy Japanese street, while in the background is a wonderful Japanese woman with a happy face holding the hand of a U.S. soldier stationed in Japan, and these two images should ideally be in the same photo.”

Speaking of this Burgess’s gaze discolored a bit unkindly, Alan Wilson hurriedly explained, “Burgess, don’t look at me like that, it’s not like you haven’t worked in the media before, you should have some understanding of these British Empire’s conscience. There are advantages to this, maybe it can reduce the hostility of the Australians, isn’t it?”

It doesn’t really matter whether it lessens Australian hostility or not, what matters is that it will create a famous image, which is needed even in current British Malaya. Only the Japanese are unhappy, everyone is happy, so why not do it.

All that was needed was the loan of a US Army uniform, and a young Japanese woman with a good image.

It took a few minutes to finally get Burgess to agree, and this posing test of the agents’ professionalism was exactly what came out of the oven, and if it was successfully passed, it would inevitably appear on the front pages of Australia, England, Holland and Portugal.

In accordance with the time, the first prisoners of war from East Malaysia had been loaded onto the ship, and Ichiro Hatoyama was waiting for the occasion to raise his influence.

In the midst of the waiting time, the peninsula has lasted for a month of the fifth battle, and ultimately did not break the stalemate between the two sides, with the battle stopped, Alan Wilson also discussed the situation on the peninsula with Burgess, spoke, “should be transformed in the direction of low-intensity wars, or called the war of law and order. If it turns into that, it won’t be easy for the United States to end the war in the short term.”

“If it’s you, what’s my response?” Burgess couldn’t help but open his mouth to inquire once he took a look at Alan Wilson with such a winning look.

“There’s no way to fix it in the modern world! Unless the Americans expand the slaughter of civilians a hundred times over.” Allen Wilson shook his head flatly, “I guess the Soviets are overjoyed.”

“That is, the Americans ran into their own Boer War?” Burgess found an example.

“It’s hard to say!” Alan Wilson didn’t answer the question; in fact, the Vietnam War was more in line with Burgess’s definition.

On June 9 the ship carrying the first repatriated POWs slowly docked in Tokyo Bay, and Ichiro Hatoyama, who had been prepared for this, waited at the pier with his own Diet acolytes.
