Chapter 790: The Thoughts Getting Through
A defeated country, even still need the U.S. military in Japan to ensure the security of the country, have the qualification to refuse the U.S. need to help?
The answer is of course can not, even do not need the United States Army in Japan to step in, only need to casually take out a little action in the economy, immediately can let Japan dream back to 1945, even eating is a problem.
Alan Wilson of course also knows the nature of the United States agricultural empire, to some countries with food shortfalls is like God’s existence, he would not mind the United States to help the Japanese to reduce the weight loss, but unfortunately, it is estimated that the drama is not to that point.
Just the efforts that should be made still need to be done, “Japan which has the qualification to refuse the United States, half of the food needs to be imported, Joseph, this is destined to be a good environment for you to exercise diplomacy.”
“Fair enough.” McCarthy nodded, deeply impressed with Alan Wilson’s analysis, then said, “Alan, you seem to know Japan fairly well?”
“Can’t say I know much about it, my working relationship is with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There has been research on some noteworthy countries.” Alan Wilson smiled, then took the initiative to propose, “Joseph, with your relationship with me, I’m willing to prepare some materials for you to make your trip to Japan a little smoother.”
“Oh, that’s really great.” McCarthy’s eyes lit up as he expressed his gratitude, “Look, it’s obvious that I’m coming over here for a vacation, but I’m troubling you again, I really don’t know what to say.”
Alan Wilson on the other hand expressed that this is all what should be done, as far as the relationship between Britain and the United States is concerned, if he doesn’t help McCarthy who does he help?
In fact, he was also very busy, things always come one after another at the end of the year, but he still took out his energy to help out for his friend’s trip to Japan.
Admittedly, he had nothing against the Japanese, but it was all for the greater good of the free world.
McCarthy was also very grateful for this, and on the way to the airport, he was still expressing his gratitude, but at the same time, he also voiced out his concerns, “Allen, there are too many Chinese in the territories you manage, this is an unstable factor, and since you’re my friend, I’m going to be honest and say that I should think of a way out of this.”
“Oh, Joseph, what you said is very correct. It’s just that there’s not much I can do in the current situation that’s still stable, although I did once talk about expelling the Chinese. But that was a last resort, and without reason it might intensify the conflict.”
Alan Wilson spread his hands with a difficult face, individuals have their own difficulties and hopefully they can understand each other.
He had been working hard since his arrival, deep down he didn’t believe that a backward place could export ideas to a rich place, the key to Europe being able to withstand the Soviet Union’s storm of ideas was the part of the free world that was indeed a whole lot richer than Eastern Europe.
As long as British Malaya was able to get ahead of the neighboring economies, it wouldn’t matter if they did get infiltrated, even if they were of the same language and race.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Alan Wilson said goodbye to the McCarthy couple, and then took out a copy of the island authorization said, “Joseph, if you are willing to go around, if you come to the designated island for vacation in the future, all the fees are free, in fact, I would have liked to send you an island, but this may cause unnecessary disputes, so it is better to dispel the idea. ”
“You’re very kind!” McCarthy expresses his gratitude, he doesn’t care if he can be the owner of the island or not, for McCarthy vacationing the furthest is just Hawaii, generally if you want to enjoy the tropical scenery, Polo Rico is fine.
Accepting it also solely because the person who gave this convenience was his friend, McCarthy raised his wrist and glanced at the time and said, “It’s about time for the two of us to leave, telegraph if there’s anything you want to do.”
“No problem, I wish you a successful trip to Japan.” Alan Wilson watched the McCarthy’s disappear into the airport, then turned around and whistled, there was still some thinking to do about who had a better chance of winning between the Japanese Prime Minister and the American Senator.
Malacca harbor wharf, a tank was unloaded from the cargo ship, the expansion of the British Army in Malaysia under the Far East Joint Warfare Command is a foregone conclusion, at this time of the year, the plan for a large number of soldiers to come to the Far East is temporarily put on hold, it is estimated that they will not be able to make the trip until after the election, however, the ordnance required by the British Army in Malaysia has already arrived ahead of the others.
Churchill tanks and Cromwell tanks are also one of them, two kinds of tanks have actually to be withdrawn from active service.
But because they were produced in large quantities during the war, the tanks that were to have been blockaded were unlocked in large numbers and sent here to increase the armored strength of the British Army in Malaysia in the context of the expansion of the British Army in Malaysia.
“The British Army in Malaysia is literally heading straight for a world war.” At the Far East Combined Operations Command in Singapore, Alan Wilson, holding a telegram forwarded from Kuala Lumpur, joked to Lt. Gen. Bilton, “It seems to have become the forgotten corner of the world, with the country continually putting old armaments this way.”
Churchill tanks, Cromwell tanks to fight T34 are struggling, fortunately the Soviet Union’s T54 tanks have not yet mass production, or else in a few years, which have these two old tanks to play room.
“Centurion Tank London is considering it!” Lieutenant General Bilton also couldn’t see these World War-era weaponry, but seeing the Malayan commissioner say so, he still stood up for London’s authority from the military’s point of view.
“It’s funny to say, I can hear that Centurion tanks are exported to Egypt and Iraq. Focusing on making money and generating revenue, you’re giving these rags to Malaya, which is practically the front line?” Alan Wilson shook his head, “Of course, the Royal Navy stationed in Malaya is powerful well, it’s understandable that it’s being neglected.”
Britain is currently maintaining the inertia of being willing to take out all weapons and equipment for money after World War II. Even the current aircraft carriers are constantly being marketed for export, and the first generation main battle tank Centurion is certainly no exception.
Because this time and space Britain did not participate in the Korean War, the centurion tanks in a certain sense lack of combat experience, although the Army feedback some of the use of experience, centurion tanks for a very long time are poor performance, made a lot of jokes.
At the beginning of the design did not take into account in the low temperature environment, so the centurion tank in the low temperature environment into a variety of mechanical failure, just want to start the tank will take half an hour to warm up the car. These not so small problems to the centurion tank has brought a lot of trouble, but also let the centurion tank reliability is quite questionable.
However, they could not stop Britain’s determination to spread the technology after the war. Originally, more than half of the production of the Centurion tank was exported, and now that the Labor Party has been in power for two terms, the Centurion tank has been quickly put on the shelves, and in addition to the Commonwealth countries, the British protectorate in the Middle East is also within the scope of exports.
The significance of the Centurion tank is still very significant, Britain has long used first-class technology to manufacture second-class military equipment, in the field of tanks Churchill tanks are infantry tanks, Cromwell tanks are cruiser tanks.
Make the British in the World War the most reliable tank is the United States produced Sherman, this situation is really worried about the British, after all, how can the hall of Britain is always dependent on the United States tanks? Britain also need to have their own tanks can be used!
For Britain, the centurion tank can be described as an epoch-making existence, it is really meaningful to get rid of the British old infantry tanks and cruiser tanks division mode, so that the British tanks on the tank development route in the right way.
The Centurion tank was likewise used as a test subject for nuclear testing, withstanding the impact of a nuclear bomb during the second atomic bomb test, and was then immediately used for export advertising.
The only difference is that in the original history Israel was the big importer of Centurions, accumulating more than a thousand of them and becoming the mainstay of all the Middle East wars, but now it’s obviously different, with Egypt and Iraq becoming the main importers in the Middle East, the opposite of the original history.
If in a few years, the Middle East again broke out in the war, it is likely that there will be the scene of British tanks against American tanks.
Spit out some export centurions, garrison with Churchill, Cromwell’s operation, Allen Wilson is still more concerned about the deployment of the air force, British Malaya West Malaysia is a peninsula, East Malaysia is an isolated island, the ground forces with substandard is not impossible.
Although the navy is also using inferior goods, but the Royal Navy’s inferior goods are also far more than the general country’s main ship, which is also no problem.
But the air force can’t be dealt with, the sinking of the Prince of Wales battleship by Japan has shown that battleships also need air power, and wasn’t the Battle of Dien Bien Phu because the French air force couldn’t support it, leading to the annihilation of the defenders?
“Isn’t your wife a partner in de Havilland? Didn’t know the Vampire Squadron was coming over?” Lieutenant General Bilton wondered, didn’t the Mountbattens communicate such things internally?
“I didn’t care about that, Pamela was mostly concerned with civilian airliners.” Alan Wilson tapped his head in chagrin, “There’s one thing I forgot, thanks for reminding me.”
Lieutenant General Bilton had a question mark on his head, what did he remind him of? Why do young people nowadays always talk halfway?
Alan Wilson had drawn a bunch of weapon shells from memory before, originally wanting to use the military connections of the Mountbatten family to correct the problem of using first class equipment to make second class weapons.
But Pamela Mountbatten was away, and he forgot about it, and only remembered it today when he came to the Far East Operations Command.
Export centurion since the use of Churchill, this kind of my Great Britain has its own national conditions in this operation on the first to be skipped, he is now going to immediately think of a way, in front of his wife a little bit of the talent to set the country in order to stabilize the country.
British Malaya to strengthen armament at the same time, in Tokyo, McCarthy is also in the United States of America from one victory to another victory struggle, he can feel Hatoyama Ichiro inner resistance, but it does not matter, think of the U.S. troops in Japan, will be thought through.
“The U.S. and Japan are close allies, and Japan helping the U.S. to say something can change the isolated diplomatic environment early. And honorable Prime Minister, many people have responded to the fact that Japan has been dumping textiles on the United States.”
McCarthy crossed his fingers and looked at Ichiro Hatoyama, he wasn’t threatening anything, it was a fact.
