Chapter 786 McCarthy’s Visit

There is no doubt that this is a deterrent, especially if it is what France wants to achieve, otherwise France would not have offered to provide the test site, the withdrawal of troops from Vietnam has not yet been fully completed, but it is clear that France is already looking for the next opponent.

London knew exactly what the French had in mind, and the Cabinet of course knew that this was France borrowing Britain’s current power to achieve its own aim of deterring the colonies. Agree also because there is also a large number of British colonies in Africa, from this point of view, the two countries have common interests, but also can show the unity of the two countries, a comprehensive consideration agreed to the French request.

Not only Britain and France, in fact, Moscow and Washington also know everything, but the real big thing will not be in the newspaper. For this time the nuclear test, the United States and the Soviet Union also only carried a routine report, said that know this matter on the line.

The hard-working Malayan commissioner also has his own things, this year he has carried out a lot of work in South Vietnam, looking at the end of the year is approaching must do some of the work, deal with the backlog of official business, camping to increase the garrison’s camps, as well as a series of ancillary measures of the work.

After careful consideration, the construction of the camp should be placed in Sabah, which requires the approval of the local monarch Ali Khan. This was not difficult, and Ali Khan had already expressed great willingness and even wanted to offer to help in the construction of the camp.

After the destruction of Hyderabad, Ali Khan now saw the British colonial army as if it were a relative.

The British side of the problem is not big, at least not as big as the French, although the French army is withdrawing, but the situation in South Vietnam is still unstable, according to the Geneva Agreement, the Viet Cong will only take over North Vietnam this year, South Vietnam is still under the control of the French Expeditionary Forces, there are still refugees gathered from all directions to South Vietnam, the refugee evacuation work is still continuing. At the same time, the Viet Cong guerrillas in the south were also not retreating northward, and they were mobilizing more people to go to North Vietnam, waiting for the French Navy to send warships to send them away.

Americans never intervene in a place by themselves a country, beautifully demonstrating the role of an ally, so the countries that helped South Vietnam as much as they could were? Philippines ……

The Philippines, very much a beacon of democracy in Asia in this day and age, at the initiative of the US, formed a medical corps and sent a large number of doctors and nurses to Vietnam, and are now helping people who fled to South Vietnam to be examined and see a doctor.

In fact, it is not that the free world will not do this kind of move to buy people’s hearts and minds, only that it will not do it for a long time.

For Britain and France at the present time, greater unity is almost inevitable; fundamentally the United States is opposed to colonial rule and wants independence for all peoples, and even quoted from the U.S. Declaration of Independence when it declared independence at the end of World War II. But in Europe, the free world was facing a challenge from the Soviet Union.

If it did not support Britain and France, the Soviet Union would probably continue to expand in Europe, so the United States opposed colonial rule on the one hand and supported the French in Vietnam on the other. There were different lines of response in different places, and the US could naturally find a logically self-evident argument.

The U.S. could do this to the French colonies, and it certainly could do this to the British colonies. Alan Wilson didn’t want his own administered colonies to be looked at by the Americans, although it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Malaya was conspicuous by its absence after the French left, but it wasn’t as if he had done nothing over the years. At least the Dutch and Portuguese still had military forces, and Australia and New Zealand were supportive of the Malayan colony’s existence.

In any case, British Malaya and Indonesia don’t border each other by land now, thanks to the support for the Dutch evacuation to Kalimantan in the first place, which resulted in Indonesia not being as threatening despite its proximity.

The sea is still Britain’s home turf, although after the war the U.S. Navy is stronger than the Royal Navy, but to whom, at least to Indonesia, the Royal Navy is still a behemoth that the Indonesians can not cross, when the Netherlands were able to shell Jakarta, the strength of the Royal Navy far stronger than the Netherlands to do it is even easier.

In fact, this is exactly the case, in October when the Royal Navy shelled Haiphong Harbor, let the Indonesians recall when Jakarta in the battleships under the main guns, a scene of pandemonium.

“The key is value!” Alan Wilson to the window gripping a cigar, the value of the colonies for the United Kingdom to keep posting money is equal to nothing, than the French people within the continental thinking, more focused on the interests of the British political community has a account in mind.

This increase in the size of the British army in Malaysia, but also because Malaya’s steel production is really more and more inflated?

Abandonment of colonies is the general trend, but the retention of a few key areas is not excessive, especially now, France on the premise of the future of Algeria is not clear, Britain can not do nothing.

Being unable to match the USSR should be acceptable to the British, but to be unable to match France, how will the British accept that?

Continuing with a busy and happy life, it was time to give Hedy Lamarr and Vivien Leigh another birthday blessing. Every time it comes to this kind of time, Alan Wilson can find motivation to work, the only less happy news.

It was that the royal family wanted Her Royal Highness to go back, and he had been making quite a lot of progress in his white whoring endeavors lately, and at this point, if the princess went back, it might interrupt the gradually warming environment.

But the good thing is that the princess made a promise, after Christmas and New Year’s Day, will definitely find a way to come back. This kind of solemn guarantee, at last, let worry about the hard work in vain imperial commissioner, slightly ang sent mood.

Hedy Lamarr’s call back, to the warmth of the birthday wishes, the rest is about the release of 2007 in Moscow, the United Kingdom may not necessarily pass quickly.

Alan Wilson can help, Lord Makins of Sheffield is the official in charge of this area. Of course some people to pay is essential, he in a telegram to Hedy Lamarr, said woodpecker studio can try to sign Makins’ mistress, may have an unexpected effect.

“I’m coming to see you in Kuala Lumpur after New Year’s Day.” Hedy Lamarr’s callbacks were always so straight to the point that it was warming to watch.

Just when Alan Wilson, who is wearing two jobs, copper stinks of the British colony’s profitability this year, a piece of news destroyed his good mood, Bogor is a famous city in West Java, Indonesia. Also known as Bogor, situated about sixty kilometers south of Jakarta, Bogor is known as a cool place, cooler than other tropical cities.

The prime ministers of the five South Asian countries arrived in Bogor around the same time, a meeting initiated by the five countries of India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Ceylon, and Pakistan, which decided to jointly initiate an Afro-Asian conference with the five countries in attendance.

“What’s the fuss about? What is Nehru trying to do again? Do you really think we can’t do anything about him?” Alan Wilson held the newspaper and said to Alisa, “Ceylon still has a Royal Navy base, how dare they?”

“Commissioner, Ceylon is too close to India after all, some things can’t go against what India thinks.” Alisa shrugged her shoulders and explained, “One of our bases can’t make Ceylon and India become hostile either. And this meeting, at least nominally, is more recognized by both the United States and the Soviet Union.”

“Recognize? Yeah, both of them hate us as much as the French to get the hell out of the colonies.” Alan Wilson, nose in the air, said, “What does London say? We should try to get us to join in, don’t we have two days left? Can we join in.”

As it was, Alan Wilson thought of the old-fashioned way of joining in and then making this meeting unproductive.

Alyssa shook her head, “It might be difficult, Whitehall made a similar suggestion and it was vetoed by Nehru.”

“He’s really fattening up now.” Alan Wilson sneered in exasperation, “He wouldn’t dare to talk to Britain like that in the beginning, but now it’s different, the leader of a big country with a voice doesn’t put Britain in his eyes.”

Nehru’s reason for refusal, naturally, was that this was a meeting of the emerging countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. This is nothing but an excuse, at least this time the five countries are all former British colonies, what is wrong with Britain wanting to attend?

It is clear that Nehru now feels that India is a third world ally and is starting to dream of a reputable great power.

“Pakistan is also a bunch of mealies without the spirit of Jinnah.” After scolding Nehru, Allen Wilson again aimed at Pakistan, obviously have been beaten by India once, and now also follow India’s ass, disgraceful.

In the heart, Allen Wilson has not been unclear, the current diplomatic environment of India is very good, although Pakistan and the United States have good relations, but the United States is not willing to firmly support Pakistan, to prevent India into the embrace of the Soviet Union.

To know India’s Prime Minister Nehru was originally very inclined to the Soviet system, if the United States to find trouble, India instead and the Soviet Union closer relations, the world pattern is quite unfavorable.

Two days later, McCarthy’s return call made Allen Wilson slightly happier, the original history of McCarthy has begun to fall, but now there is no this seed.

He had already invited McCarthy to come to Malaya as a guest on several occasions, but there had been no response, but this time McCarthy indicated that he was coming to spend some time in Malaya before Christmas. The reason for this shift also leaked out in the telegram, which also mentioned the Bogor conference to be held by five South Asian countries.

“These five countries were formerly British colonies, and London has no idea that it is going to do a little work?”

In the face of McCarthy’s telegram questions, Allen Wilson can only be honest, and explains that this matter is best for the United Kingdom and the United States to discuss how to deal with the better, the two people can be the first to have a discussion on this meeting.

McCarthy then informed him of the time he came to Malaya to see if he could prevent the opening of the meeting. McCarthy came quickly this time, and on the first day of December was already in Kuala Lumpur.
