Chapter 645 No Brothers, No Malaya
Before returning to Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson remembers him talking about how to respond if in the Soviet Union’s shoes.
Including but not limited to building a wall, cutting off electricity, and especially the latter, which for an electrified age is a devastating blow.
As good as a city’s hardware is, once there is a lack of electricity, the citizens living in that city will not adapt in any way. Berlin has always been the capital of Germany, and as the capital Berliners would have been in a pre-electrified environment for a long time.
No matter how much the free world preaches it can’t maintain the sense of superiority of the citizens of West Berlin, and that’s a big deal.
In later years, NATO bombed Yugoslavia indiscriminately, and Belgrade did not give in until the graphite bomb was brought out, targeting Yugoslavia’s power grid, which instantly knocked the hearts and minds of the Yugoslavs, who were already accustomed to modern life, out of control.
Graphite bombs, also known as soft bombs, commonly known as power killers, because it does not kill or injure enemy soldiers for the purpose of the name. Graphite bombs are made of specially treated pure carbon fiber filaments, each of which is quite small in diameter, only a few thousandths of a centimeter. The main target of the attack is the city’s power transmission and distribution system and paralyze it.
After the graphite bombs were used by the U.S. Air Force during the U.S.-led NATO air raids on Yugoslavia, the citizens of Yugoslavia were quickly thrown into a state of agitation and support for the war plummeted.
Now the Soviet Union itself was aggressively adopting a blockade policy against West Berlin, and if Alan Wilson had been a West Berliner and could have seen the blockade wall around West Berlin increasing in height bit by bit and the electricity in West Berlin being cut off, he certainly would not have been able to remain indifferent, and as good as things were in the free world, it would have been better to live a communist life without the use of electricity.
If the Soviet Union had made up its mind to cut off the electricity to West Berlin, Alan Wilson did not think that the citizens of West Berlin would be stronger than the Arabs in the refugee camps in Gaza. Maybe the citizens of West Berlin would run for cover.
Alan Wilson’s head was in a muddle, and he even slacked off on the Governor of Hong Kong, Grantham, which was an incredible thing for him to have placed so much importance on the division of labor and cooperation between the two places in the first place.
Strengthening his spirit to let Alisa arrange the itinerary for the Hong Kong Governor, Allen Wilson’s head was a muddle, facing the empty office alone, muttering, “Those two sisters? Jesus!”
God only knew how cleanly he had sold the Free World’s bottom line in the intervening years, and the Cambridge Five were just for fun, he alone was better than the entire Free World’s spies, after all, even the best spies couldn’t predict the future, but Allen Wilson could only see part of it.
“Not necessarily, maybe there are capable people in the Soviet Union. I might have misunderstood!” Allen Wilson thought for a second, and couldn’t rule out the possibility that there was someone high up in the Soviet camp.
In his heart, he didn’t want to accept the fact that the Dragon Rider sisters were spies for the millionth time, having children with each other, it wasn’t a lie.
Returning to his residence with a heavy heart, deeply feeling humiliated, Alan Wilson cried and mourned, still in the middle of the bull’s-eye and could not extricate himself.
“Allen, what’s wrong with you?” Vivien Lei saw the man come back in this state, a trace of heartache flashed across her face inquiring.
“I feel like I’m just a clown with claptrap.” Alan Wilson sat motionless in his chair and looked up with a smile that was worse than a cry, “It’s like as if social death has come upon you all at once.”
“No, it won’t!” Vivien Lei saw this look of Alan Wilson, although she did not know what the reason was, she still took the initiative to hug the man’s head and softly consoled, “You are the hardest working man I’ve ever seen, you have ideals as well as ability, at this age you’ve already made it to be the Commissioner in the Foreign Affairs, if I were younger, I would definitely snatch you up with Pamela.”
“Hah!” Allen Wilson had a raw look on his face, if not for the weakness of beauty, I guess this would not have happened.
If Lubyanka had been decorated, Grand Admiral Burgess, Grand Admiral Philby, he, Allen Wilson, would have been a marshal.
Allen Wilson, who felt deeply that beauty was a soft spot, this evening faced with the attentive service of the Great British Treasure, or handed over his gun and surrendered.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with you today, and I’m not going to ask, but if there’s one thing if no one else knows about it, it’s nothing if you’re the only one who understands what’s wrong. No one can do anything to you as long as you adjust yourself.”
Vivienne, who had just returned from gargling, lovingly comforted the man she loved so much.
“The truth is such a truth. Hey!” Alan Wilson took the initiative to open his arms around the national treasure’s delicate body and whispered, “If everyone is as understanding as you are, I have nothing to worry about.”
Vivien Leigh’s heart fluttered as she heard within the words that the problem should be with a woman. But although she thought so, her face didn’t move, the beloved man was already so troubled, she couldn’t add to the trouble at this time.
Miles away in British Malaya Commissioner, began to immovably focus on the things in Berlin, than when he was in Europe to pay attention to, when he heard that the entire West Berlin power system was interrupted, he knew it was over.
If just building the wall could be explained by the fact that there were capable people on the Soviet side, then the power disruption could not be explained that way.
After all, although the Soviet bloc looked terrifying, it was actually far less shameless than the free world. Having really gone after people’s livelihood facilities, a few times during the Berlin crisis, the Soviet Union hadn’t done anything to cut off West Berlin’s power supply.
But this time it did so, it means that there are unknown factors in today’s world, as for what unknown factors, Allen Wilson’s heart is clear, the biggest unknown factor is himself.
If it was the building of the wall, it could be chalked up to a butterfly effect, but coupled with the power outage, Allen Wilson could think of no other possibility.
The Berlin Wall has become the new target for the two camps to spit at each other, with the main focus on the free world side still being Britain. The US domestic side was still focused on things like the MiG corridor and the fall counterattack.
Although, after repeated appeals from Britain, the USAF had replaced the RAF as the mainstay of the Berlin airlift. But in terms of public opinion, Britain and the Soviet Union were the mainstays of both camps.
The significance of the Berlin Wall was the center of debate between the two sides. The Soviet side argued that since Britain, the United States and France had split Germany. Throwing the Soviet-occupied zone out of the coalition government, it was only natural that the previously divided boundaries would be national boundaries. West Berlin was nothing more than a special national boundary.
Since it was a national border it was administered in the same way as a national border, and the Berlin Wall was essentially a border defense project built against a hostile neighboring country that just happened to be in the middle of a major city.
This argument Britain, of course, rejected and stated that there was absolutely no way the free world would give up West Berlin.
In response to Britain’s objections, the Soviet Union produced photographs of the exodus of West Berlin’s citizens.
London, on the other hand, blamed this as a consequence of the Soviet side cutting off the electricity to West Berlin, accusing the Soviet Union of laying hands on livelihood facilities. It was a matter of a very bad nature and demanded that the Soviet Union cease its actions immediately.
The Soviet Union did not comment on Britain’s demands, and finally stated that the Soviet Union would not interfere with U.S. airlift operations. Because the border defense facilities were built, there was no need to take measures of human blockade.
If the U.S. and Britain wished, they could keep on practicing the airlift policy for five years, ten years, and fifty years.
As for the problem of electricity in West Berlin, since Britain, the United States and France have taken divisive measures in disregard of Germany’s integrity. Having already dumped eastern Germany, the Soviet Union would not take much care of West Berlin, whose power facilities should rightly be left to the Bundeswehr government to figure out.
The Soviet Union’s response had two main points, the first being that the construction of the Berlin Wall and the cutting off of electricity had been factually irrevocable.
The Soviet Union did not treat West Berlin as a military stronghold to be uprooted already considered the safety of the citizens of West Berlin. The second point was to remind the West that the Berlin airlift would inevitably become permanent, and that if the US thought its national strength would allow it, it could have kept the airlift going.
Alisa realized that her own top boss talked a lot less these days, even when she exchanged words with the Governor, she only talked about business, not like she originally talked so much, “Commissioner, you’ve been talking a bit less lately.”
“Oh yes! Now that Europe and the Far East are in confrontation, I feel deeply worried about the future of the Empire.” Alan Wilson replied without blushing after hearing this.
He didn’t dare to pipe down in front of a beautiful woman now, although Alisa was a reliable woman. But he also thought that the Dragon Rider sisters were also very reliable before, and everyone had a love child. But it led to today’s result.
“The Governor will be returning to Xiangjiang in a few days, and is preparing to talk to you, Commissioner.” Although Alisa was a bit puzzled, she still brought Ge Lianghong’s words, seeking to prepare some kind of reception or something, and then leaked out one thing, handing over the telegram from Hyderabad to Allen Wilson.
Hyderabad telegram? Allen Wilson can not dare to be slow, directly took over and read it.
Ali Khan has decided to resign the famous but not real Hyderabad Chief Minister position, now the former world’s richest man can take away have taken away, the remaining fixed assets are railroads, libraries, university towns and these former investments.
Ali Khan’s message is simple, he is going to leave India and start his life afresh somewhere else. He had wanted to leave India as early as after Hyderabad was occupied by the Indian government forces, only then he had thought of going to London to live permanently and buy an estate for his retirement.
But not realizing that the post of Sultan of Sabah had actually turned out well, Ali Khan was now so motivated that he decided to take his talents to the warm beaches of Sabah.
This telegram to Allen Wilson is full of the core idea of no brothers, no basketball. Indicates that Ali Khan has already thought about it, and in a few days I believe that he will move, come to British Malaya, and Allen Wilson to form a double giant lineup, and have a care for each other.
