Chapter 725 The Troubled Japanese

Alan Wilson felt that it was only a matter of time before the United States took over the role of France, others do not know, but British Malaya is not far from Vietnam, how could he not know, the reason why the French army has been able to fight until now, and the United States of America’s military assistance is inextricably linked to the United States, the United States has borne the French army war expenditure of three quarters.

Large-scale military assistance to the French army in Vietnam, from 1950, almost the same time as the outbreak of the Korean War.

It can be said that the United States has long been involved in the war in Vietnam, but now is limited to the stage of the money, the force is the French, once the French can not force, the probability of the Americans will be their own field.

The evolution of the Vietnam War from the beginning when the U.S. paid for it and the French paid for it, to the U.S. integrating the South Vietnamese army with its experience in Korea, to the end when the South Vietnamese army was still too weak to fight, and the U.S. went down on its own, was gradual.

It was knowing the important role of the United States in sustaining the French offensive that General Navarre fought with the Paris government to expand the forces used for the attack, although he did not know that the two billion dollars that the United States had spent in aid of the French army over several years was a drop in the bucket compared to what the United States would later spend for the Vietnam War, but wanted to wait until the surge was complete before attacking.

Allen Wilson felt that the early U.S. involvement in the situation in Vietnam, to talk about nothing evil, the United States has helped South Korea before, nothing more than a part of the confrontation between the two camps, at first the United States estimated that it would not imagine to later, even Agent Orange will be used.

Just as Allen Wilson advised General Navarre to use chemical weapons, and the French were reluctant to do so.

But the war as long as the beginning, with the continuation of time, will become more and more to break through the bottom line, even if the first batch of U.S. troops landed in Vietnam scrupulously adhered to the principles of the war, as casualties gradually increased, the bottom line has repeatedly been breached, the hand became cold-blooded.

From now on, the French have not begun to complete the plan of attack, to the U.S. troops before the official entry, the situation in South Vietnam is fairly smooth. This smoothness means that the war exists, but not on a large scale.

Sooner or later, the Vietnamese will miss this period of time, because it is not called brutal compared to the later situation when the American army fights out the real fire.

Currently Allen Wilson naturally wants to help the French, to organize a large-scale attack, used to maintain the unity of the colonial powers, although Indonesia is independent, but more or less, Britain, Holland, Portugal have retained their colonies in Asia, although it is not at all comparable with the previous.

If France threw the French colonies in Asia, the French military determined to be after the war must be ashamed of where to put the face?

In view of this, Alan Wilson is very concerned about the orders of the French, from weapons and ammunition to uniforms sheet, are personally to inspect, do business in good faith, can not fool the allies with inferior products.

Already a little bit of textile king frame Su Yang, followed by Allen Wilson, strolling in the middle of his own textile factory, the machine may be old some, but hard-working textile women workers will overcome this point.

“Lord Zhongtang, this matter you leave to me, you can rest assured.” Su Yang followed behind Allen Wilson, side-stepping to show his reliability.

“After all, you are Newfoundland’s son-in-law, there’s nothing I can’t rest assured about.” The workshop was noisy, sort of a very unfriendly working environment, and Allen Wilson’s voice could only be amplified a bit.

Su Yang’s marriage is an important factor that Newfoundland Capital and Allen Wilson are willing to support, this is something that I believe Su Yang himself won’t deny, although blood is thicker than water is only established under certain circumstances, but in the calm and peaceful times, this layer of relationship is still very deceptive.

Again, it does not involve a national confrontation, just supporting a trusted agent, Su Yang naturally came into view.

Su Yang also knew that this batch of orders that the French wanted was not trivial, and did not dare to be careless at all, led Allen Wilson into a distant rest area, slightly did the landlord’s favor to make a cup of tea, and then said, “Lord Lt. Hall, it seems that the French are going to make a big deal out of it this time.”

“I can answer that if you don’t ask too much detail. Yes.” Allen Wilson picked up his teacup and said with a smile, “Oh yes, I remember that you once fought another battle with the French.”

Allen Wilson referred to the Sino-French war, the number two hegemon among the imperialist powers, against the Qing Dynasty, the gatekeeper of the powers.

“I hate that the late Qing Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, ah, Lord Zhongtang, I am only talking about this war with the French, and not about other countries.” Su Yang snapped awake, expressed a strong desire to survive, his current industry are all supported by the British, are hard-won.

“Continuing to fight, the Qing Dynasty still can’t win. It was right to see it through at that time!” Alan Wilson didn’t catch this, adding, “I’ve never seen, a dynasty that has been established for more than two hundred years, how strong can it be to return to the light, if it has always been strong, in the end, it won’t be extinguished, right?”

This is absolutely the truth, absolutely no half position, what the Lord of Zhongxing can not pull a dynasty to the previous peak period, there is no exception in Chinese history.

Even restored to the peak of the dynasty have not done, involving changes in the industrial field is naturally even more impossible.

Not to mention others, the first industrial revolution was Britain, the second was Germany and the United States, even the French did not seize the opportunity.

The topic of history, especially modern history is very unfriendly to Su Yang, a Chinese, Alan Wilson is not interested in continuing, talked about Su Yang’s wife Mary, “I heard that you have two beautiful mixed-race babies, a son and a daughter has been considered a son and daughter. In fact, when a man reaches this point today, there is nothing more for the average man to ask for.”

“Lord Zhongtang, I want the development of Malaya to work more.” Su Yang took the opportunity to express my heart that I want to progress too much.

Hehe! The two smiled unspokenly, Allen Wilson ate a pill for the other party, “Malaya’s development needs entrepreneurs like Mr. Su, so that we, the British, can rest assured.”

Now he was going to support a colony that could help share Britain’s obligations, the final result was not yet clear, but Allen Wilson would certainly do his best.

In fact, currently the Viet Cong had taken control of most of North Vietnam, including of course the coastal areas. Now this situation, so Allen Wilson could not help but do a little comparison, can say that the situation that the French army is now facing is not as good as the Cannon Party before Liao Shen.

Cannon Party still have some coastal strongholds, get in the period of the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the French army can only through air transportation to maintain the French army supply, once the weather into the rainy season, the French army directly finished.

If General Nawal from Paris back, if really put forward to let the Royal Navy to assist the request, Britain is really difficult to refuse it, after all, in this time and space, European colonial powers than the original history of deep cooperation a lot.

The reason why the French took the risk in Dien Phu Bien is because at the end of last year, the same way to win the Battle of Na Shang.

The course of the Battle of Na Shang was not unlike the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, where the French won the Viet Minh offensive the hard way, relying entirely on airdrops and paratrooper resupply, and Dien Bien Phu was merely trying to replicate it.

“Sometimes you realize that you don’t even know how to start when you want to help an ally.” Alan Wilson stifled a sigh of relief, he an allied commissioner, talk even more sense, but also not as persuasive as the experience accumulated by the French themselves.

The previous battle of Na Shang gave the Viet Cong a heavy blow, the French had such experience, how would they listen to him a British nonsense?

It’s as if the U.S. felt that the training of the South Korean army worked well, and naturally felt that the South Vietnamese army could do the same.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to do more for the free world, but the French and Americans didn’t need British guidance. So Allen Wilson dropped his focus on Vietnam and concentrated on governing the colonies under his own jurisdiction.

A formation of battleships, older than even Alan Wilson, still sailed slowly, past the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea’s Fortress of Gibraltar, and slowly made their way toward Asia.

At this stage the big event at the United Nations had become the claims of the Southeast Asian nations against Japan. After all, the Korean War was over, and the UN’s raison d’etre was in need of issues.

Japan still managed to get an understanding from Indonesia and Thailand, and that understanding was less compensation. But the Philippines’ attitude was strong, and after a petition march by some POW families, the governments of Australia and New Zealand, which were under pressure, also joined in the claim.

The Tokyo government, which had just recovered a wave of blood from the Korean War, was very depressed in the face of the Philippines, which was at the front, and Australia and New Zealand, which were at the back in solidarity.

Although there is the Korean War to bring support, and at this time Japan, and Alan Wilson just toured the textile factories, the biggest fist product is the textile industry. Only Japan’s textile market is the United States, and British Malaya’s textile exports are rushing to Europe.

The foundation for Japan’s takeoff had just been built up a bit, and the Philippines couldn’t wait to rush up and make trouble with the United Nations. It wouldn’t have mattered if it was just the Philippines alone. After all, among the independent countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Indonesia have already been taken care of by Japan.

The problem was not in Southeast Asia, but in Australia and New Zealand, the two countries whose roots were valued by Britain and the United States.

The Australian and New Zealand soldiers had been abused by the Japanese during the war, and after Pamela Mountbatten’s encouragement, coupled with Britain’s hints that it would help at the United Nations, the two governments, which were under pressure from public opinion, went along with the idea of taking the matter to the United Nations.

Alexander Cadogan has stepped down from his post, and Lord Parkinson is now the British ambassador to the UN, halfway through his term, and is at the UN to do justice to Australia and New Zealand.

In fact, for the current United States, there is not much affection for Japan, the Philippines, after all, is a former colony, in the eyes of the Americans is a dear son, and Australia and New Zealand is even more needless to say. The United States naturally will not express support for Japan when the claimant side is so strong in terms of sentiment.
