Chapter 615 – Pamela is looking forward to this day.
Pamela Mountbatten did not pay attention to this point, at this time she was immersed in happiness surrounded, she dreamed of this day to come for several years, the heart of a hundred turns, and even simulated inside the mind of hundreds of different wedding scenes.
But she never took the initiative to urge Alan Wilson, she knew that this man is most interested in politics, is a willing to invest everything for the politics of the official fan, this is not to talk about any shortcomings, she is willing to wait.
Year after year, turn the two have known each other for five years, to the present, Pamela Mountbatten finally saw the end of the long run of love dawn, and later she will be Mrs. Wilson.
Pamela Mountbatten’s plunge into the good news was witnessed by two of the most honored women in the British Empire.
Only the sisters had very different ideas; Crown Princess Elizabeth was purely congratulatory, with no other emotions mixed in.
Princess Margaret, on the other hand, did not know exactly what she was thinking, but the princess understood very well. Even vaguely did not feel that this was good news.
The fact that the small Windsor Castle had a simultaneous existence of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix was naturally unknown to Allen Wilson.
He is in Kuala Lumpur in the Office of the Commissioner of Administration, thinking, the current situation and the history of 1951 compared to find out the differences in analyzing the possible benefits and pitfalls.
The most recent major domestic event was the death of Ernest Bevan, the Foreign Secretary in the post-war Labor Cabinet, who later became Secretary of State for the Keeper of the Seals due to his health condition, after a long illness, but it was impossible to tell for the time being whether it would affect the unity of the Labor Party within the party, and Alan Wilson was away in London.
Britain as a former world hegemony after two world wars, and now to the point of having to hold back.
As with historical choices, Britain developed a policy of contraction, which Allen Wilson also knew was inevitable. Times were different, and the current colonies, which Britain could not afford to save, were still considered huge.
Most of the colonies that still had tens of millions of square citizens in their hands now would surely drift into independence in the future.
He was also merely hoping that the contraction wouldn’t turn into an avalanche, and for the moment the direction was looking slightly different. At least 400,000 square kilometers of Newfoundland Crown territory is all anyone can see.
If only the transfer of technology and support from British Malaya could be exchanged for two generations of maintaining the status quo. In moving from other places, Britain will not end up as a follower even if it loses most of its colonies.
So no matter what, the first thing to do is two things, the first is to maintain the current stability of British politics, the other point is to let go when it’s time to let go, and sell all the colonies for a good price. Maintain military strength in key areas only!
“If in the next twenty years, Britain finds out that all the preserved overseas territories, all of which I’ve been the administrator, are either related to me, wouldn’t that be a very energizing thing?”
Allen Wilson, who was serving his afternoon tea, muttered to himself under the breeze of the ceiling fan, and actually began to think about it. There is always a dream, what if it comes true?
Leisurely moments, your West Malaysia commissioner Alisa pushed the door, once in, saw the ambition, drinking afternoon tea of the top, could not help but open his mouth to jest, “Oh, this is not the commissioner who is about to enter the marriage hall? According to the Chinese, Lord Zhongtang.”
Listening to Alisha’s slow and accented Lord Zhongtang, Alan Wilson had a face of acceptance and nodded his head, “Alisha, during the time I’m not here, you and Ender discuss dealing with Malaya’s affairs, and be wary of all foreign threats.”
“Understood, guard against the Soviet Union more than the United States.” Alisa nodded knowingly, then the words changed, “There is precedent for these things to not go wrong, my husband is coming over to see me, and Ender is handling it the same way.”
Being America’s enemy is dangerous, being America’s ally is deadly. Alisa knew Alan Wilson well enough to understand the true psychology of her top boss.
“Uh! Good!” Allen Wilson’s face snapped, “Living apart is indeed not conducive to marital harmony, so it’s good to be here. But there may be one more thing to trouble you.”
“Please say!” Alisa agreed painfully, “Who made you my top boss, all the requests I won’t refuse, even if it’s ……”
“It’s to formulate a plan for the subversion of Indonesia, and from now on, we’re going to formulate a long-term plan for the disintegration of Indonesia. Its purpose is to dismantle the Sukarno regime, which is a threat to the situation in Southeast Asia.” Alan Wilson coughed softly, playing deaf to his subordinate’s teasing.
In the perspective of the British Empire’s interests, as long as the Sukarno regime does not collapse, the threat of British Malaya will always remain vague. And from a private point of view, it is better if it does not collapse, as Britain can occupy British Malaya reasonably and legally.
With Indonesia’s population, it wasn’t going to be out of sight for long, and if the Americans were doing it anyway, he might as well do it himself so that he could steer things in a direction that would favor British interests.
“America prepares to surrender to the Soviet Union!” Alan Wilson, who had bought a bunch of newspapers and boarded Comet One in preparation to pass the time on the road, almost thought he had misread it, and re-scanned it, and there was no mistaking that it was indeed the British Times.
Combined with the recent five battles have just been fought, has been rumored to be peace talks, Alan Wilson from this sniff a hint of ill will, he knew that history Britain has always been resistant to intervene in the middle of the war on the Peninsula, by the United States to make no way to send 10,000 people, almost from the inevitable expansion of the scope of the war, has been more than than chatter to withdraw troops.
Prime Minister Adderley felt that he had been punked by the Americans, and his replacement, Churchill, kept clamoring for withdrawal. The prevailing public opinion in Britain at that time was to push for negotiations, and was even very unhappy about the length of the peace talks.
And this time Britain didn’t send an expeditionary force; Britain certainly had losses, and the RAF that was sent out had been shot down.
But in any war that involves land warfare, the military costs of the navy and air force are nothing compared to a ground war. The present Korean War is by no means the same as in history, where the blood-thick US must have pulled the bloodless UK along with it to be bled out.
At this time, a mainstream British newspaper even published this kind of argument? Allen Wilson, who carefully put down to read, read the content from beginning to end, to the effect that support for the United Kingdom to increase military strength in Europe, to help the United States to share the pressure of defense in Europe.
“Sharing is sharing, have to start a title like this?” Alan Wilson read it a couple of times and took out another copy of the Daily Telegraph and then the Guardian. Finally concluded that Britain did not want the war to end so soon.
This was because the newspaper content was filled with passages suggesting that the American army was not up to the task of fighting and was pessimistic about the direction of the war. The point is that the average person can not yet see, but read the whole article will form a preconceived feeling.
It is true that they do not participate in the war talk is hard, Allen Wilson can be very sure of the judgment. From the outbreak of the war to the present U.S. one hundred and fifty billion dollars spent, so that Britain at least part of the people in the heart is very pleased.
The great disappointment of the surrender of Japan in World War II was finally compensated for at this time. It is not unlikely that Admiral Mountbatten, Alan Wilson’s most highly respected Royal Navy admiral, is one of those people.
What to do openly to the United States might not be done by Britain, but Allen Wilson could think of several wilfully bad ways to do it.
For example, at the UN proposal, issue a see-saw proposal with war parity. Default U.S. to suffer, and then use public opinion left and right to fight each other, explicitly let the U.S. and a hostile camp are not even counted as the big brother of the opponent on an equal footing.
Secretly using public opinion to create mistrust, secretly burying the U.S. military combat power is not good, so that the proposal on the surface can not proceed, which is very shady.
It is important to realize that the United States has been fighting for the position of world hegemony almost since the late nineteenth century. It finally reached its goal after World War II, literally realizing the American dream.
Now forcing the United States to be on an equal footing with the No. 2 in the hostile camp was simply forcing the American dream to wake up. This is absolutely unacceptable to Washington. There are times when it’s not about money, it’s about the face of the person talking.
Alan Wilson knew that the Korean War had not affected the strength of the United States, and even joined the Vietnam War in a few years. It took being hammered all over again to adopt a policy of contraction to lick its wounds.
“It’s all this situation, and if you don’t forget to stir the pot, you stir it hard!” Alan Wilson has a deeper understanding of the British Empire’s traditions, high emotional intelligence is to take the stand to let go, the normal description is the dog can not change to eat shit.
Walked out of the London airport Alan Wilson, hesitated, is the first office business to go to Whitehall stirring, about the Dubai air port? Or first go to see the eagerly awaited fiancée.
Eventually Alan Wilson decided to do business first, first Pamela Mountbatten to get it done in said. Airports that kind of small things, with the current star of the British aviation industry Comet airliner in hand, can be done by the way.
Pamela Mountbatten these days can be said to be longing for, see this man appeared, do not care about what etiquette, directly like a wombat hanging on Allen Wilson.
Backhanded Pamela Mountbatten in his arms, Allen Wilson put the thoughts in the belly of the draft together to pour out, full of deep feelings pouring out a day without seeing as if it were three autumns apart.
“Know you are busy, I will not mind.” Pamela Mountbatten beautifully whispered, “get people’s hearts thumping, are you bad.”
“Come on, let me hear it!” Holding Pamela Mountbatten and sitting directly on the sofa, Allen Wilson slightly bent over and put his ear on the woman’s chest, blushing, “Well, it does jump very quickly, I see that my darling can’t wait.”
“Nasty!” A blushing Pamela Mountbatten gave the man a blank look, but did not retort.
Four eyes facing each other, a beautiful day began with a deep and long kiss, the reason why Alan Wilson’s legs were weak was only because he hadn’t adjusted to the jet lag, absolutely no other reason.
