Chapter 631 Great Britain Will Never Lie Down

This Berlin Crisis, the Cabinet will surely react fiercely, as for the work of Whitehall, naturally, it is to put confrontation on the lips and prove the reliability of Whitehall.

Upon arriving in Whitehall, Whitehall had already opened a discussion on this Berlin crisis, and the main central idea was confrontation. To back down in Berlin without saying a word would be tantamount to showing weakness before the Soviet Union.

“Whatever the aims of the Soviets, we will never compromise.” Allen Wilson shouted in the conference room, “If we do not respond positively, the Soviets will think that we have laid down the law. Once that impression is ingrained in the Soviet mind, there are untold troubles ahead.”

If Britain backed down, this would affect the whole society, and in the larger scheme of things, the whole country’s fortunes would take a sharp turn for the worse. The whole society is made up of people, and once an individual believes that the country’s strength will not change because of their personal efforts, that’s the end of it.

Britain can’t afford to backtrack from where it is now, and Britain has less wiggle room than the US because of the presence of the aristocracy on British soil. The pressure on ordinary people is inherently greater than in the US.

Once the average British citizen has lost faith in the country, it has been accepted in their minds that Britain is no longer a powerhouse. This is never a good thing for the average citizen, and it is not something that can be solved by lying flat and putting your mind right.

Because the country is something that has never existed as an outwardly tolerant, inwardly disabled being, with a million ways to keep on keeping on.

In colonial times, the state that pushed people to the point where they would die if they didn’t try immediately stopped lying down. Blacks are lazy enough, in Africa they don’t even want to bother with planting, throw the cassava seeds into the ground, don’t even bother to dig a hole, throw it and go. Neither fertilization nor weeding during the growth period, let them grow and perish on their own. To the harvest season and then come back, how much growth is how much.

These generations of people lying flat, sold to the hands of the American slave masters, whip a wave of the butcher’s knife a lift, as usual, diligently in the plantation inside the roots.

There is another kind of cohesion with national ideals, the Soviet Union of the world’s proletarians united. The Guardians of the Free World of the United States can do the same. Britain is in no position to emulate either of these countries.

But there are still ways to keep its citizens from laying down, and the best way to clean up a layabout in modern times is to put a person in debt, in debt from birth, without the basic conditions for laying down, unless they dare to commit suicide.

The most awesome thing about the United States is that the two great powers of God into one, at the same time with the guardian of the free world, and the three pillars of the domestic industry, education, health care and the law ring ring ring, play a person’s life to maximize the value.

The United States can rely on the conditions of the leader of the free world and the vastness of the land, with the front of the conditions for the fact of putting Americans in debt to add to the bottom, the United Kingdom does not have this condition, can only be pure cut leeks, once the British citizens heart to accept the laying down of the fact that the future of the bitter days are still behind.

“The world is not a static horizontal plane, and Britain must keep up with the movements of the US and the USSR, no matter what the cost. I am sure our Prime Minister can see that.” Alan Wilson drummed in his Whitehall colleagues, “The RAF has eaten so much of its financial allocation year after year since the war, it’s about time it showed a bit of goodwill.”

“It has come to this, I believe that my colleagues are able to understand the current situation. We advise the Prime Minister to face the current facts with courage, and on the premise that the Soviet Union in the Far East has succeeded in annexing Hokkaido, the Soviets may think that they should take advantage of the situation. And the problem before us is that we must take a firm stand to salvage the dangerous situation in Europe and to make the Soviet Union know what to do.”

Norman Brooke summarized slightly wearily, “Alan and I will go to see the Prime Minister, each department will bring out the current statistics of the forces that can be put in place to deal with the Berlin blockade, the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office will discuss the situation with the Foreign Secretary, and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defense will bring out the report on the operational readiness of the Air Force, which I’m sure the Secretary of State for Defense will be able to use shortly.”

“The attitude of the Commonwealth countries is not a problem, France’s air power can not help, but can provide back-up support.”

At the Prime Minister’s residence, Norman Brooke and Alan Wilson separately expressed their recommendations on the current situation, and ultimately concluded that since it was the ground that had been blockaded, air bridges should be opened immediately to deliver supplies by air to West Berlin, which was in the midst of the blockade.

For the 300,000 Soviet troops in the Soviet-occupied zone who are on the pillow, it is necessary to express the determination to fight at any cost.

“We believe that the fact that the Soviet Union has annexed Hokkaido is a prerequisite. The attitude of the Soviet Union should not be such that it would not hesitate to start a war in Europe, which can be judged as a blackmail. But if we don’t take out the power of the free world to show the Soviet Union, things will be troublesome.”

Hearing Norman Brooke’s words, Adderley nodded his head imperceptibly and said, “Showing toughness to the outside world, but with Britain’s own national strength it’s a bit?”

“Honorable Prime Minister, in fact, I have a friend who is in London, and was about to return to the United States soon, and this time I just happened to stumble upon this matter.” Allen Wilson spoke up after asking for permission, “With him there, of course the United States will get involved.”

“Alan, Senator McCarthy?” Prime Minister Airdrie frowned, he didn’t like this American Senator, and by this American’s definition, there was no doubt that he, the British Prime Minister, should be pulled down as well.

“My friend here is in the best position to make his remarks at this time. But when it comes to national action, we must take out decisions faster than the United States, and create the impression that the United States is following Britain.” Alan Wilson didn’t hesitate to drag out his friend McCarthy, “Joseph is a Republican senator, and there is no doubt that the Republican Party is determined to win next year’s election, and what we have reason to believe is that the current Republican Party is quite willing to see a Democratic administration make a fool of itself. As long as the stakes are clear, we create the impression that Britain is more reliable than the United States.”

“The first thing is that Britain must make its position known and put it into action sooner than the United States. I daresay the United States would have adopted a tough policy after discussion. It’s just that things have come up so suddenly that it’s still under discussion in Washington.”

“This way we can show the European countries that Britain is unwavering in its stand against the Soviet Union. When we are acclaimed, the United States will then join in as nothing more than the icing on the cake of our decision. For the European nations have been preoccupied with the idea that it was the British government that was brave enough to stand up to them.”

“It seems Alan’s return to Malaya may be destined to be delayed.” Norman Brooke expressed, “Honored Prime Minister, I think Alan is well suited for this, after all, he had personal contact with the Soviets back in 1945, so to speak. Of course this time it’s about showing toughness towards the Soviets and taking a diametrically opposed stance, but I’m sure there’s no problem.”

“Really no problem?” Adderley was obviously still in the middle of his thoughts, and looked at Norman Brooke with one eye, as if he wasn’t very confident in the answer.

“I believe Alan is a reliable person.” Norman Brooke changed the word and repeated it word for word.

“Honorable Prime Minister, Sir, we must move faster than the U.S. Because of the war in the Far East, even if the U.S. were to make an immediate turnaround now, we would only be able to airlift with local European air power in the first few days. It may be that we must respond independently during this very first period.”

Airdrie and Norman Brooke nodded, obviously mentally prepared for this.

The great Prime Minister Airdrie had plugged his political life to preserve the dignity of the British Empire and show statesmanship in the midst of this round of confrontation.

Of course this evaluation was the opinion of all sectors that Alan Wilson thought up in his cranium after the end of this crisis. He now immediately had to go to another thing, and McCarthy to discuss how to show the special relationship between Britain and the United States in the middle of the Berlin crisis.

In short, how to make Britain pay less and get greater acclaim, at least than the United States.

It is rare to see Adderley, who calls himself a socialist, show a tough side in the House of Commons, to the extent that the entire House of Commons was silent when Adderley made his speech.

Even the famous Commons jet-setter, Mr. Churchill, MP, was stunned by Prime Minister Aidley’s spirited speech expressing West Berlin’s move as the bottom line of the free world.

Hadn’t the Labor Party always argued that Britain should be more domestically focused? Why has Aidley now become like this? It was full of the tone that Great Britain will never lie down.

“Since the Soviets have blocked the ground and want to let the free world know what to do, the British Empire will build an air bridge for the Berliners in the sky of freedom.” In an almost shouting tone, Adderley expressed the determination of Britain to never compromise this time.

After this speech, the entire House of Commons resounded with prolonged applause, and the Labor MPs stood up one after another. Expressing support for Adderley.

There are times when the doves express toughness, they catch the hawks off guard. For example, what was the reaction of the Republican Party in the twenty-first century to hearing that the Democrats, who had been inciting this spring and that spring, were going to start a nuclear war?

That’s how the Conservative Party is reacting right now, and it can’t be that the Conservative Party is going to be peacemakers after Edley expresses toughness, can it?

“Oh my friend, any contact with the country yet?” Alan Wilson found McCarthy, took the initiative to ask the current situation in the United States, take out any decisions yet.

“A response program has not been taken out yet. It is under discussion!” McCarthy nodded and said that he had already contacted the country, but now the United States has not taken out a response program.

Alan Wilson nodded, after all, hundreds of thousands of American soldiers were still facing off on the peninsula. Don’t look at the history of a major country’s civil war period, the Berlin crisis broke out, but the artillery party did not have hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to personally escort the front line. This is completely different from now.

Of course this is just right for Allen Wilson, the original intention of the current British response to the Berlin Crisis is that the force America out, forcing Britain to pretend. The time that the United States is now weighing the pros and cons officially belongs to Britain’s performance moment.
