Chapter 629 World Center Japan

The fierce war of words, as the old imperialism of the United Kingdom does not care, the media, this thing, out of the incident is the first to lead the rhythm of the first is them, after the first to dump or even introspection is also them.

The only group of the world in chaos, and there is never any introspection. Allen Wilson has seen strange, don’t look at now scolded vigorously, to the critical moment the first to beat the drum is also them.

Berlin crisis will not break out, Allen Wilson in fact, not worried at all, the history of the outbreak of the outbreak, now the outbreak of a nothing, the pre-program is the air corridor Well, to the United Kingdom and the United States is the main.

There is nothing about France, because the current French actually does not exist what strategic air force. Even the return to Asia was sent by the Royal Navy. Dassault Systèmes is not ready for rapid development.

Now Allen Wilson was merely hoping that if there had to be a blockade of Berlin, it had better be quick on Moscow’s part. It just so happened that his best foreign friend McCarthy was here.

By this time, Allen Wilson, who was a friend to his friends, had not forgotten to take the opportunity to help McCarthy. It can be said that McCarthy’s life with him this friend is absolutely worth it.

The British side of the public opinion is raging, playing a war of words for the United States, while as a direct party, the United States is seriously considering. Would the Soviet Union and even China and North Korea, who were facing each other on the peninsula, combine their efforts to board Honshu Island at this time.

The CIA used every possible piece of intelligence to speculate on whether or not the U.S. would have the military power to respond should this happen.

At this time Japan was in a state of emptiness, with only two National Guard divisions, still unfit for combat, refitting on the island, and the rest of the combat forces already fully committed to the Korean Peninsula.

Allen Dulles traveled to the White House to meet with President Truman with an assessment made by the CIA. And whether or not Japan is currently capable of self-defense.

Evaluation report in the Soviet Union Red Army on the Japanese amphibious landing capability judgment: the ability to launch submarine attacks on the Allied supply lines, ports and bases; the first echelon amphibious landing will include two to three divisions, as well as the size of 10,000 people in an airborne operation;

If the first echelon landing force results in the capture of the harbor, it can be followed up with no more than six additional divisions. The entire landing force would not exceed nine divisions. If the landing force succeeds in establishing a solid bridgehead and capturing suitable harbor facilities, the island force may be increased to fifteen divisions by one month; by sixty days it may be increased to twenty-five divisions. More could be committed if conditions of weather, shipping, and port facilities were further favorable.

Logistically, the U.S. side believed that the Soviets could mobilize for landing operations one-half of their total shipping strength of one million tons in Far Eastern waters, and that these ships would be able to carry eight fully loaded Soviet divisions and maintain supplies for them.

Soviet strategic reserves east of Lake Baikal could supply Soviet forces for about a year of campaign operations, except for oil, although the status of reserves of fuel, especially aviation fuel, is not known. The Soviets could bring in fuel from the western Soviet Union, but this would seriously jeopardize other logistical operations.

For air support, the U.S. believes that the Soviet air force in the Far East has 5,000 aircraft, but most of them are of the older World War II type, with a make-up-to-present ratio of about eighty-five percent, although reaching full strength would be relatively easy. In order to execute the attack on Japan it would be necessary to divert a large number of planes; however, after this the Soviets would commit no fewer than two thousand combat planes to the initial landing operations.

“With the current strength of U.S. forces in Japan on Honshu Island, it is impossible to stop the Soviet landings, and when the Chinese and North Koreans on the peninsula are taken into account, the proportions are even more desperate. There is only one way we can stop it!” Allen Dulles said in an extremely soft voice to President Truman, “Issue a nuclear threat and start a world war at any cost.”

“Yet Britain and France will not open a world war for Japan.” Truman considered in silence for a long time, and smiled bitterly, “Britain and France have not forgotten so quickly, the humiliation when the Japanese attacked Southeast Asia, not only Britain and France, Australia will never help Japan send even one soldier.”

“Honorable President, there is no doubt that with the current size of the American forces in Japan it cannot be defended.” Dulles spoke up with the document in hand, “But we also don’t think that the Soviet Union will continue southward after annexing Hokkaido. That’s why the CIA has two recommendations, to exert its determination to defend Japan if necessary, to deploy nuclear weapons to Honshu, to issue a nuclear threat to the Moscow side, and to stop the Soviet Union’s attempts at greater adventures, and the second is that Japan should be allowed to re-establish its general forces and to share the pressure of the defense of the U.S. forces in Japan, especially at this time, when the Peninsular War is not over, and Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who is on good terms with General MacArthur, is advocated giving all defense tasks to the U.S. forces in Japan, is out of place.”

“Let me think about it!” Truman tiredly held his forehead, the continued low approval ratings and the war with no hope of an end in sight had worn Truman down.

There were times when he wondered if McCarthy’s accusations were right, did it all really start with him abandoning Changgong?

Since the Korean War, Truman had been in the midst of his irritation, and sometimes thought that maybe the Republicans were right in some ways, that the United States might not be ready to lead the world, and that it had always seemed to be more than it was worth when it came to fighting the Soviet Union.

I just don’t know what part of the Republican Party Truman was talking about, the opposition party sometimes opposes for the sake of opposing, and it’s not at all clear what exactly they are advocating.

Relying on the fact that McCarthy himself was in Europe, Allen Wilson now judged that there were at least two large factions of the Republican Party. One was the conservative wing of the Republican Party led by Taft, and the other was the establishment wing with Dewey at its head.

The relationship between the two men is quite good when they are not elected, Allen Wilson remembers that among the original history, Taft was lost to Eisenhower supported by Dewey, the big American conservative, the only place where he can still exert influence. It was during Eisenhower’s tenure that the United States, despite its loud slogans, only introduced the Eisenhower Doctrine on the Middle East.

The whole country is still in a state of restraint, and of course Eisenhower’s tenure was the last isolationist remnant of the Republican Party.

When the Republican Party re-emerges in the future, it will be a comparison with the Democrats as to who is tougher.

He did not want to comment on what an opposition party in the United States should really do, the key is that the current British opposition party leader, MP Churchill, took out the passion of the Iron Curtain speech period.

Calling on European countries to support the U.S. and to take a tough stance on the Hokkaido issue. And suggested that the U.S. take a tough stance to stop the illegal annexation of Japanese territory by the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson was willing to envision that Senator Churchill meant for the United States and the Soviet Union to place the main battleground of confrontation in the bird-damaged Far East, where Britain did not have a pound of stake anyway. This would reduce the pressure for confrontation in the European direction.

“It’s not often you think Churchill has a positive role to play.” Pamela Mountbatten, who was preparing food and still expressing her head in awe, wondered if the sun had come out of the west.

“I’d like to envision it that way, though? Hey, let’s hope it all works out.” Ellen Wilson sighed in her mind if the Soviet Union ended up making a move in the direction of Berlin.

Jumping up and down at this time, strongly supporting the United States to hold a strong position in the Far East, it was likely to steal a chicken.

At that time, the Labor Party may use this to attack Churchill, exacerbating the tensions in Europe, perhaps Churchill MP from the distance of ten Downing Street not only did not draw closer, but farther away.

“Pamela, which newspaper in the country are you on good terms with?” Alan Wilson inquired, looking to his wife.

“The Daily Telegraph and I have a pretty good relationship.” Pamela Mountbatten brought up the sausages and sat directly in front of her husband.

“A supporter of the center-left Tories? Oh, good.” Alan Wilson nodded and lowered his voice, “Could you remind our former Prime Minister, through this newspaper, that it’s not quite the right time for rhetorical accusations against the Soviet Union. That is, after all, a matter of the Far East, and it wouldn’t be very good to draw the Soviet Union’s attention back to it.”

“Oh?” Pamela Mountbatten flashed a thoughtful look, wondering what her husband had in mind.

“It’s never a bad thing to remind our Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson said vaguely as he bit into his sausage.

Regarding the Hokkaido issue, the United States warning the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons against the threat of expanding the war and plunging the whole world into a great war had become the most current concern of European countries.

In comparison, the Daily Telegraph, which is supposed to be the authoritative media, seems a bit out of place at this time with Churchill’s exhortation.

If nothing happens in Europe, this report naturally seems to be a big deal. But if something happens in Europe, Churchill will be caught in the crossfire, and the Labor Party will seize the opportunity to step on him, so he will not be able to escape.

Alan Wilson of course does not want anything to happen on the European side, but he has some understanding of the Soviet Union, head down as an ostrich, the heart of the thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river, China may be able to do out of this kind of thing. The Soviet Union does not quite fit this style.

In this time and space has not yet appeared in the Berlin Crisis, may be seized by Moscow the United States in the Far East to pull military power, by Stalin to implement it.

The timing of the Berlin Crisis in history was a key moment in the direction of a civil war in one of the major powers, and while on the one hand Truman abhorred Chang Gong’s move to support Dewey, the other important factor was that in the eyes of most of the countries, Berlin was really a lot more important than the nearly 10 million square kilometers of one of the major powers.

The U.S. is using the air corridor to flex its muscles against the Soviet Union, so it doesn’t have time to care whether Chang Gong is dead or alive.

Berlin side has not much movement, but in Hokkaido and Honshu Island over the air and sea any bit of news, have occupied the eyeballs of many countries, so after ten days, Alan Wilson felt that he may be really wrong judgment. The point of conflict in this world was in the Far East and had nothing to do with Europe.

A recent news article about Japan lies in the U.S. recommendation that Japan establish a self-defense force with basic self-defense capabilities. One cannot put all one’s hopes on the US.
