Chapter 683 – Li Qiwei Goes to His Office

It was all about the unity of the free world, and before nations unite, Allen Wilson believed that individuals should unite first, and after some frank and also deep exchanges, Ingrid Bergman made him feel the sincerity of unity.

“I think of you all the time in Asia, Ingrid!” Alan Wilson exclaimed contentedly, and had to say that the test drive of the top-of-the-line Swedish car was a wonderful, memorable experience.

“Just know how to say nice things!” Ingrid Bergman was unmoved by the flowery language, “Each of us is older than you, and you like older?”

“That’s not true, but it depends on other merits.” Alan Wilson made no secret of the fact that he was a face reader, just because he could ignore Greta Garbo’s age didn’t mean he could not pick on any of Greta Garbo’s peers.

When it comes down to it, it’s all about Greta Garbo as a woman, not Greta Garbo as a woman of her age. How many women have traveled the world and looked like a few of the women at Woodpecker Studios?

“And it’s astonishingly honest!” Ingrid Bergman in the bathtub rolled over and lay on top of Alan Wilson, Ingrid Bergman’s physical superiority was on display, giving Alan Wilson a huge sense of oppression.

“I can hardly breathe!” Allen Wilson opened his mouth with meaning, giving a sideways compliment to Ingrid Bergman.

As a man, Allen Wilson actually tries to show as much concern for the ladies as he can, and in the case of Ingrid Bergman it was reflected in the fact that, together, they looked after their two daughters.

“I had a hell of a time giving birth to them.” Ingrid Bergman looked at the two little angels, also radiating a motherly glow around her.

“And only you can shoulder this arduous task. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone else!” Alan Wilson’s eyes swept around Ingrid Bergman and expressed his approval of the Swedish car’s top-of-the-line hardware.

Arriving in Paris, the first thing he had to do was that he had to make the few talking heads of the Woodpecker, feel that he valued them, only then could he better unite the free world, what’s the saying? How can you sweep the world without sweeping a house?

This time and space of the establishment of NATO, can be said and late this year before the outbreak of the Berlin crisis has a direct relationship, there is no mistake, the Berlin crisis to the end of today is still not the end, at the same time, has long been replaced by the United States as the main air corridor has also been in the middle of the operation.

Even more than Alan Wilson’s memory of the air corridor to run more smoothly, this is not because this time and space in the United States of America’s national strength to the next level, purely because the citizens of West Berlin is running out.

Other than that, the Soviet Union cut off the original German power grid, which is not just a problem for West Berlin anymore. Rather, they cut off the original unified German power grid and reconstructed a separate grid in the GDR.

Allen Wilson missed the formation of the GDR and the interruption of the grid in both Germanys because he went to Africa. The subsequent restoration of the grid from the rare interruption had become two parts.

But the restored German grid did not include West Berlin, which the Soviet Union had been determined to make medieval. This caused a constant exodus of West Berlin’s citizens.

Judging from the current figures, the more than two million citizens of West Berlin before the Berlin Crisis had become less than half a million. As this trend continued, West Berlin might soon be left with only, the British, American, and French garrisons, and a small portion of West Berlin’s citizens living around the garrisons.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union used the same frequency as Europe, otherwise the GDR and the GDR would have evolved into two completely different grids, just like Japan.

Berlin crisis evolved into today, if let Allen Wilson have any realization, that is in the hands of nuclear weapons, and no nuclear weapons is really completely different. Without nuclear weapons, whether it is Iran or Berlin, the original time and space of the United States forced the Soviet Union to make concessions, and with nuclear weapons, like the original like forcing the Soviet Union to back down will not be easy.

“I hope Britain’s hydrogen bomb doesn’t go the wrong way.” Alan Wilson could only wish that Britain’s second-generation nuclear weapons took fewer wrong turns.

The first U.S. hydrogen bomb was not combat-capable, there was no carrier that could apply a hydrogen bomb weighing over eighty tons to actual combat, and the U.S. only settled on practicality a year later. Not to mention the fact that the U.S. hydrogen bomb isn’t even out yet.

Before coming to Paris, Allen Wilson also learned about certain good news on nuclear weapons, not about the progress of the hydrogen bomb, but the progress of the Blue Light Missile, if the Blue Light Missile can be loaded with nuclear warheads, road-based nuclear weapons testing, the United Kingdom will undoubtedly come to the front of the United States.

Once the Blue Light Missile proves its reliability, the UK will be able to market itself as a differentiator. Boasting something about how the skinny camel is bigger than the horse will also help to make the US and USSR look the other way.

Europe is preparing to cheer for the great unity of the free world, the Korean battlefield in the Far East has been enough to reassure the Americans, Li Qiwei also stepped down as commander of the United Nations forces, to open his next position, NATO Commander-in-Chief.

Before he left, Li Qiwei also tried to make his departure a little more at ease, and Van Vliet was also able to turn his energies to some other issues. The biggest issue was the need for military reform in South Korea, but due to the many critical situations in the military, the United States had previously been forced to put the issue on hold as if it was not there.

The lack of leadership in the ROK military was severe; we were unable to completely flesh out that leadership due to language barriers and treaty provisions. Now that the pressure is off, the U.S. can embark on a comprehensive training program. Through this program, Korean commanders of their own will be created; these commanders will in turn be able to train the Korean soldier force as well as any other nation’s soldiers.

Political cronyism and intricate rivalries to consolidate one’s position in politics have wiped out so many of the outstanding virtues of the Korean soldier that it has cost the United States immeasurably in human and material resources to improve the quality of these soldiers.

The Korean army has been moved around at will according to the whims of various political figures, and has been used as a means of exterminating bandits, or of defending the interests of certain people. The young officers found it impossible to criticize, oppose, or even disagree with their uneducated superiors.

The officers’ own panic was always immediately transmitted to the troops below them. Many of the soldiers in the troops themselves had not had the necessary training to react instinctively and positively in critical situations.

Before leaving, Li Qiwei called his successor, Clark, and said, “Today, we can clearly feel that the negotiations are tiresomely delayed month after month, and that the ceasefire that seemed to be on the verge of being realized at the end of the first year of the war has become more and more remote, like a phosphorous flame. Many citizens have come to believe that our blood and lives are being sacrificed on the battlefield for nothing, while our diehard negotiators are trying to get a bargain at the negotiating table.”

“We can’t get an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield, and we can’t negotiate anything.” Clark agreed deeply, “Negotiations are indeed exhausting. At the negotiation table, people keep repeating points that have already been said, playing with florid words like an orator, obnoxiously hurling insults and attacks, sometimes it simply makes one would rather go back to the battlefield and fight.”

Both Li Qiwei and Clark hoped that the new administration would put an end to this war of futile attrition.

Li Qiwei and Clark, as well as Van Fleet, had given up hope on this war, but there was still a voice within the United States that believed that the United States should occupy the entire Korean Peninsula.

The three looked at each other speechless, after some discussion the result is, unless the United States can also increase to enough troops. The criterion for this sufficient force is that the U.S. military should never have fewer troops than the enemy while maintaining the existing logistical and armament advantages.

“It’s not doable, we can’t compete with the other side in terms of manpower.” Li Qiwei said to his two comrades, “We are separated from this peninsula by the Pacific Ocean. Washington has already expressed significance on military spending, and still wants to have soldiers?”

After this discussion, Li Qiwei no longer cared about the armistice negotiations, he understood in his heart that this war had nothing to do with him anymore, the rest of the time he would rather swim and watch baseball games.

Paris, Alan Wilson, who had been visibly emaciated from running around for the empire in recent times, received a telegram forwarded from London and learned that the candidate submitted by the United States for NATO Commander-in-Chief was Li Qiwei, who was coming to Paris soon.

“Surprisingly, it’s really him!” Alan Wilson frowned slightly, NATO from the beginning of the emergence of the United States has always been the United States to do the main position, the United Kingdom to do the deputy position and the secretary general so a structure. During the decades of history, there were changes in the secretary general, but the first two were almost fixed.

Alan Wilson remembered that when Li Qiwei was the second Commander-in-Chief, he had extremely poor relations with the generals of European countries.

Even the generals on the British side did not have a good relationship with Li Qiwei, so that in the short term NATO might not have much fighting power. After all, this time and space does not have Eisenhower to lay the foundation for Li Qiwei.

Soon Allen Wilson received a second telegram, that is, Britain is not prepared to let Montgomery be the deputy commander-in-chief, but to select a new candidate, after all, Montgomery is much older than Li Qiwei’s seniority, and it is not appropriate to be the deputy.

On this side of the European side is preparing for the signing of the contract, the Far East of Li Qiwei also officially left the Tokyo Command, the mess of the Korean War to someone else, his own lightly embarked on the journey to Europe.
