Chapter 632: My Great Britain is invincible!

“Now it seems only we can react first.” As a friend, Alan Wilson had nothing to hide, Prime Minister Adderley’s statement would be reported soon, and McCarthy would know about it by then.

The Royal Air Force because of World War II, after the war was given extra attention, can be said to be old money. But it was also completely incomparable to the U.S. If the U.S. could not react quickly, then the free world responded to the current Berlin crisis.

The result was that Britain pulled out all the stops to ultimately lose the war because the RAF’s capacity was not enough to support the needs of more than two million West Berlin citizens.

Alan Wilson didn’t really think that the US wanted to use the Berlin Crisis to teach Britain a lesson. It’s hard to say if Britain would have been disappointed if the US hadn’t put in the work, and pretty much all the European countries would have been disappointed. The U.S. wouldn’t be able to lead the free world!

“Joseph, this is an opportunity for you, for whatever reason. You happen to be in Europe at this time as a heavyweight senator, and your every move represents the United States in a sense.”

Alan Wilson, who was already certain that America would not sell out Britain, began to advise McCarthy at this point, but before he could do so he needed McCarthy’s assurances that this was all McCarthy’s personal behavior, and had nothing to do with him as a Briton.

“Alan, you’re my friend.” McCarthy was even a little angry, a little upset at Alan Wilson’s caution.

“I’m sorry, this is my professional conduct, you have to understand, we service officers can always be fooled by a politician’s sentence.” Alan Wilson did not move to clear the air, and then helped McCarthy with his ideas.

First of all, Berlin, as an important city in the world, currently attracted the attention of the two blocs, and the eyes of the world were on Berlin.

For the Soviet Union, in the case of the annexation of Hokkaido and the free world approach is not much. There was nothing to lose by failing, but success could have the air of riding the wave of victory.

For the free world, the Soviets must show strength to back down, and the US is facing a lot of problems at the moment.

Even taking the Hokkaido issue out of the equation, the peninsula was a big problem, as the US-Korean coalition launched a summer offensive before Alan Wilson returned to London to get married and didn’t make much progress.

Come what may, once the U.S.-Korean coalition forces initiated an offensive that made no progress, a counterattack was predictable.

The historical Berlin Crisis of 1948 is known as the first climax of the Cold War, but compared to the Berlin Crisis in 1951 in this time and space now, it’s all child’s play.

Probably the least nervous person in all of Europe right now is Alan Wilson, still here blabbering on about advising McCarthy.

He told McCarthy that staying in the UK doesn’t really build a tough guy image, and to go to Germany to be on the front lines. This would show the quality of fearlessness and would be good for McCarthy’s future political career.

“Preferably, to be able to express rapprochement with the U.S. Army in Germany, Joseph, you are a person who engages in politics, in such a difficult time, expressing praise for the U.S. Army should not be a problem.” Allen Wilson said this looking to McCarthy.

“Not a problem.” McCarthy nodded, just now Allen Wilson cocooned for him to analyze the current situation, so that he felt that this friend is not in vain, even in the United States he can not find such a friend.

Unfortunately, Allen Wilson was British, McCarthy did not know how many times he thought so, and felt sorry for the other party.

“I’ll be going to Europe as well.” Alan Wilson stated his own itinerary, without saying, of course, that it was he who had sold Poland to the Soviet Union at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, and so was remembered by Whitehall.

“Alan, wouldn’t that be a bit risky for you, you’ve only just got married.” McCarthy was very shocked, he thought Alan Wilson had volunteered to accompany him to Europe because he wanted to help him as a friend. It was important to realize that Allen Wilson was the commissioner of the Asiatic colonies and was perfectly capable of staying out of the way.

“Joseph, it’s all this time. Don’t talk about these things!” Although his heart indicated that he was just going over to rub a hot spot and nothing more, but hearing McCarthy think so, Allen Wilson also showed his determination to defend the free world at all costs.

He was justified in doing so, he had only just married Pamela Mountbatten, a representative of the British aristocracy and the richest man in Britain. If you don’t defend the free world, are you waiting for the Soviets to come over and communistize Europe?

The two extremes of enemy and self cannot coexist peacefully, and Allen Wilson understood this, even more than the Soviets did. Before the proletariat unites, the reactionary forces should unite first.

“My dear, I believe that for you, the Berlin crisis is a good thing, maybe quite a few Comet airliners on the mainland, this time, will have to undertake the air transportation mission, if the reliability is proved, the business will get a round of explosive growth.”

Back in his own home, Allen Wilson will not have to maintain the hypocritical face of the defense of the free world, directly exposed to the reactionary face, in accordance with the Soviet Union’s definition, Pamela Mountbatten belongs to the vested interests of feudalism, both the identity of reactionary capitalists, as for Allen Wilson proper imperialist bureaucrats, the two are to hang the street lamp.

“Even brushing up on their presence in this airlift operation.” Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes lit up, following her husband’s words to continue, this is an advertisement that could not be better. It might be possible to secure orders from Germany!

“Of course, my dear!” Alan Wilson’s eyes narrowed into a slit, expressing his approval of his wife’s words, “It would be an advertisement like no other, it’s best not to miss it. And it will also show that the aristocracy has a role to play when it comes to maintaining the British Empire.”

By this time the story about Prime Minister Eardley’s statement on the Berlin crisis had already been in the press, and all the major newspapers were reporting it in successive articles. Unified tone of the Soviet Union aggressively, while the United Kingdom is to show a great power to bear, Prime Minister Aidley’s statement was unanimously supported by public opinion.

Ordered a few newspapers Allen Wilson, the heart can not help but sigh, really at different times, even the same country people have different views.

He remembered that during the second Berlin Crisis in history, Britain could not look like this at all. During the Second Berlin Crisis, part of Britain’s main position was to advocate withdrawing from West Berlin and sacrificing a portion of Germany’s interests in exchange for the Soviet Union’s reconciliation.

The problem was that even part of Germany agreed that it was the United States that insisted that no concessions could be made.

The unanimous support for Prime Minister Eidley did not happen naturally, of course, and there certainly existed a multitude of media outlets within the UK that did not bow to the government, and this was a time when colleagues in Whitehall came into play.

Long before Prime Minister Adderley went to the House of Commons to make his case, Whitehall was setting out the themes of the news coverage, as well as censoring and regulating the media. The Foreign Office and the German military government did a great deal to ensure that propaganda policies and themes were “faithfully carried out and adopted” by newspapers and radio stations.

The state-owned press and media at all levels were supervised by a team of specialized press officers and intelligence officers from the German section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the political section of the German military government. For the private media, especially in the British-occupied areas, in addition to strict censorship, but also through economic means to control.

Britain’s major air bases, active transport planes are ready to take off, the pilots of these have been informed by Whitehall, to prioritize the delivery of supplies to the hands of the press and radio work, only these people can ensure that the hearts and minds of the people of West Berlin for the time being will not be shaken.

The garrison in West Berlin would distribute the air supplies as they arrived, in accordance with this requirement.

The liaison officer in Berlin, Ivor, had also by this time received press control instructions from Whitehall to ensure four things in his work, that press reports should do their best to inspire hatred and loathing of the Soviet Union; the

Secondly, to publicize vigorously the damage done to the ordinary people of West Berlin by the blockade, with a view to gaining the sympathy of world opinion. Thirdly, it should be emphasized that the British Government and people will do all they can to aid the people of West Berlin, and fourthly, news reports should consciously encourage the people of West Berlin to resist Soviet oppression, even if it results in bloodshed, and that fourth-order tactics never go out of fashion.

While the British mainland transport planes were flying to the German airfields, the Airdrie cabinet made a resolution to enlist civil aviation planes to join the airlift, and at the same time, the Foreign Office contacted Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to discuss having the transport planes of these countries enlisted and rushed to Europe to supplement the British air power.

Soon, Canberra, Cape Town, Ottawa, Wellington have given a response, Newfoundland is an important British transit point in North America, St. John’s airliners also soon joined the ranks.

Subsequently and Comet airliners on routes throughout British Africa joined in.

The Berlin Crisis led to a violent reaction in Britain that for a time dominated the newspaper pages of all European countries. In particular, Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa directly corresponded to the British decision.

It was simply a re-enactment of the First World War, and just the citizens of London had the feeling that the glory days had returned when they saw such reports.

“My Great Britain is invincible!” At this time Allen Wilson is preparing to go to Paris, on the way out also did not forget and just married his wife Bibi chatter, “really can not fly to Australia and wait for the news, there is ultimately safer.”

At the critical moment, Alan Wilson did not hesitate to express, there really is a risk of world war to hurry to run the determination.

What for the British Empire to live and die together, that is just fooling ordinary people’s bullshit, say can, own believe is stupid.

“You have not returned to Asia, I also do not go.” Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes fluttered and she whined in a small voice, “Why do you always have to go to dangerous places? Even if you were to return to Malaya to work, no one would say anything.”

“How would that work? Such an important matter, do you still want to be promoted if you don’t participate?” Alan Wilson flatly refused, then said, “Don’t worry, I’ll go to Paris with McCarthy and ask about the movement of the US army first, it’ll be fine.”

Although NATO had not yet emerged, it was only a matter of time, and the headquarters of the military alliance was already internalized in Paris.

Arriving in Paris was the time when the Berlin Blockade and Britain’s transformation into the British Empire, calling the Commonwealth countries together to commit air power, occupied the minds of the citizens of Paris.
