Chapter 641 – Energetic
The future would be a lot easier if the Republicans were able to bring eight years of respite to Britain. Alan Wilson continued to return to the Heilmann Estate to lie flat with this thought.
He is now deeply convinced that an old empire in the efficiency is a certain problem, in his opinion, the North German Bank of how simple things, directly into the hands of the two sisters on the line, how so slow?
He almost couldn’t help but urge Gerard, could he improve the efficiency, he was still ready to go back to Kuala Lumpur to benefit the society.
“Honey, why are you so attached to an American, this isn’t the you I know.” Anna beamed, again taking advantage of the opportunity to put the man in her head, expressing her lack of understanding that McCarthy was so attached.
“Because America is stronger than Britain, though not in military power.” Alan Wilson sighed, he could even disrespect America above military power, but had to respect it in terms of national power.
In fact, among the British military, the fighting strength of the U.S. military has not been much to look up to, and even a little look down on. This is not because the performance of the U.S. military in the Korean War is not good. Rather, it stems from World War II, or even more distant World War I witnessed.
The WWII US Army was already quite a bit stronger than the completely marginalized role of the WWI US Army, but it was still an army with a lot of slots in the eyes of the British military.
Prior to the Normandy landings, Eisenhower had his resignation letter pre-written at the time, to be used in case the landings failed, and Bradley, after being stymied at Omaha, immediately began considering moving all the US troops planning a landing on that beach to other beaches, only to call it quits because of the breakthrough of the beachhead a couple of hours thereafter. Montgomery, by contrast, was really confident that he would be able to take Berlin by the end of 1944 and occupy Germany before the Soviet Union.
Prior to the landings, there was a great deal of anxiety and nervousness on the part of the senior U.S. generals, and this was despite the fact that by default most of the German armored clusters were being dealt with by the British.
Even in Churchill’s memoirs, he stated that the main force of the Normandy landings was the British. The British were the main attack that dealt with most of the German armor and made progress first than the American forces.
In the Korean War in the original time period, the British commander who fought in the war said that he was not surprised at all after being surrounded because of the unauthorized retreat of the American army, so it is clear that the style of the American army was not at all confined to the top of the military hierarchy.
At least in this time period, Alan Wilson said that Britain does not rely on the fighting strength of the United States army, is by no means his own so think. Rather, it was the consensus of the British military, and almost all of the British generals of World War II, who had not yet retired, felt the same way.
The Battle of Caen British troops and Germany a watery ace armored divisions fought fiercely, compared to face only the British army against the enemy a quarter of the strength of the American army gray, created such an impression.
At least Britain’s huge accumulation of World War II legacy before running out, the British military estimates that the U.S. military combat effectiveness will not be changed.
The current British military just thinks that the U.S. Army is big, which means there is a lot of cannon fodder. The country is strong enough to support the war, and does not think that the US army’s combat power is above that of the British army.
“In that case, it looks like we can’t put our hopes on America.” Bokina came over with a sausage and placed it on the table, whispering, “Especially in the war in the Far East, the Americans are slow to make progress.”
“That’s not true, Britain only has a population of fifty million after all. We can’t afford to fight the Soviets for attrition. The Americans can.” Alan Wilson had a helpless look on his face, “Population determines the rate of success and the ability to develop a full-scale industry. This is why Britain must unite Europe. With the existing population, neither Britain, France nor Germany can keep up with the United States and the Soviet Union anymore.”
“Are you a Europeanist, my dear?” Bokina’s eyes lit up as if she thought she had uncovered the true identity of the Imperial civil servant.
“Yes and dare I say it, British citizens have historical baggage and feel good about themselves for launching the Industrial Revolution. Talking to them about these things, they won’t understand unless they really find that the times have changed at some point before they change.”
Alan Wilson is also quite helpless, it’s called historical baggage that leads to not being able to go further. Only the agricultural age happened to the great peace teaching powers and the Chinese dynasties.
It happened again in the industrial age to Britain, which was also overtaken by France and Germany one after the other in the sixties and seventies. It was only then that it had to put down its dignity and bow its head and lick its chops to apply for membership of the EEC.
With this factor in mind, it was only then that Whitehall swapped what was clearly a two-winged approach for a slogan that went around preaching three-ring diplomacy.
But the good thing is that no matter what, the EEC is now pulled together by Britain and France, and the Commonwealth side is in good shape. A few more years of transferring low value industries not wanted on the mainland to reliable colonies like the Malayan side, I believe it’s still possible to defend one’s own interests and not be a follower.
Alan Wilson, who said he wanted to return to Asia, when repeating this set of rhetoric, both sisters felt that it was a repeat of the wolf again, always saying he wanted to leave right away, but never moved, just using this set of rhetoric to take advantage of the two.
“Always saying you’re leaving, just so you know you’re making us pay.” Anna pinched Allen Wilson’s arm dissatisfied, “When you go back there are no exotic women in the area to take care of you ah?”
“What are you thinking? Honey!” Allen Wilson denied it, but on second thought, it wasn’t unacceptable if the stars signed by Kokubo were going to be of good success. After all, he was still friendly to Asian women and wasn’t a picky eater.
He was really ready to go this time, he couldn’t take it to the end of the Berlin crisis, could he? It wasn’t like he was the Commissioner to Germany!
It was quite a shameful thing to sit back and watch time pass when it was time to do one’s part, and had stayed until today for the Dragoon Sisters’ sake; he was a civil servant after all, and didn’t have too much time to wind up.
Once Gerard had confirmed that it was not a big problem, but that it would require Bokina to smooth over some of the competitors who had applied for the gag. Alan Wilson then knew he could be on his way.
The Federal Republic of Germany had been formed and it wouldn’t be quite right for Alan Wilson to help Pokina put pressure on the other families if it was still like it was during the Occupation Army of 1945, this was something for Pokina to plan on her own.
“Britain can’t help the two of you out in setting up the competition, only pulling the strings. It’s up to you guys to do that.” Wrapping his arms around the two petite bodies, Alan Wilson, who was sitting in the center, kissed each of the two women, “Gerard is my predecessor in British Malaya, and since he’s already said so there won’t be much of a problem. It’s up to you guys to take care of the North German Bank next.”
“Get this done and I’ll be on my way to you.” Anna came up and initiated a kiss, “First I’ll give you a reward.”
“Compared to my hard work, this reward is not expensive.” Alan Wilson gave an inch and stated that he wanted even more generous treatment.
Two days later, the imperial civil servants who had traveled hither and thither for the sake of the empire, not daring to take the slightest breath, had arrived in Paris. After some necessary preparations, dragged the tired body boarded the airplane.
Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman had only just finished Divine Retreat, and their children were still too young to accompany him to his appointment. Greta Garbo said that it happened to be his scene in the make-up shooting, so he also could not go. So Alan Wilson had to hit the road alone.
Regarding the plan to set up an air transit terminal in the UAE, Whitehall has already received it, they just don’t know when the planning will start. But Allen Wilson thought that it shouldn’t be too long a wait.
As early as in London, he could find that Whitehall was sort of very attached to this matter, after all, the Middle East’s oil resources were there. It was now the fifties, and Britain would not be unaware of the value of it.
The reason why the U.S. was hesitant and unable to make quick decisions in the direction of Europe this time around, allowing Britain to make a big splash. It lies in the fall counterattack in the Peninsular War. This was a situation that the U.S.-Korean coalition had anticipated after the end of the summer offensive, what was not anticipated was that surprisingly there would be a Berlin Crisis in Europe.
If not the Berlin Crisis, Allen Wilson remembered the direction of the war, should be the U.S. Army’s summer offensive has continued into the fall, in September are not yet finished.
As a result, it now had to end early into a summer offensive, and had to face a counterattack.
After all, hundreds of thousands of real U.S. citizens, Truman to make decisions, it can not be like the original time and space as abandon the standing public so dry, in the Berlin crisis when it appears to be a lot of hesitation.
Arrived at the Executive Office of Allen Wilson, probably understand the situation in the Far East, can not help but laugh out loud, “It seems that since the Civil War, the Americans have rarely been in the case of insufficient logistical efforts to be beaten by the other side, right?”
“Now American public opinion is talking about some kind of Mig corridor!” Alyssa mentioned the word that had been mentioned a lot in the American media lately.
“The most powerful air force in the world built overnight!” Allen Wilson wore a sneer, the relevant intelligence he would collect and then pinch it in his hands, if the US did a hard line against the UK, he would dump it out at that time and poke holes in the US’s lie of defending the free world.
Because just returned, Alan Wilson also need to adjust the jet lag, casually asked a few questions and left the Office ready to rest.
Unfortunately, he himself wanted to take a break, but the Great British Treasure didn’t quite agree, and Allen Wilson, who was strong in his spirit, took out a surge of enthusiasm and used it to deal with the needs of the National Treasure.
Vivienne could feel the man’s eyes coalescing on her face and understood that he had sensed the pulse in her great yoni point beating faster and faster. He had always been aware of the subtlest changes in her reactions and used this skill to launch a full and thoroughly effective attack.
“Vivian, remember the first time we met?”
He stiffened, feeling his abdominal muscles tighten abruptly, like an explosion of heat torturing her inside. “No, I don’t remember.”
“That’s okay, I remember every detail of being with you.” Alan Wilson lowered his head and kissed Vivienne’s red lips.
