Chapter 87: Great Britain has its own country here

It was not entirely useless to talk to oneself at the conference; it was all a process of necessary trial and error. For the time being, the U.S.A. was focusing on the issue of the war against Japan, and the Soviet Union was talking about the European issue, including, naturally, the problem of refugees crossing the border that had just arisen.

It may be that President Roosevelt’s death caused internal changes in the U.S. Anyway, during the talks, the U.S. over-emphasized the issue of the war with Japan, which gave the Soviet Union an excuse.

As for the position of the British Empire! Alan Wilson, to be honest, the position is still quite a lot, but any individual position on the theme of the expression is not clear. Britain believes that many issues are important, but some issues are emphasized by the United States, some issues are emphasized by the Soviet Union, and the role of the British Empire in the Potsdam Conference is really like an old-fashioned shit stirrer.

Alan Wilson end of the glass, while thinking, “In fact, with the ability of the United States, can be completely independent of the war Well, fighting which is not dead, want to swindle the Soviet Union sacrifices, really is not easy.”

Although the Battle of Okinawa Japanese dying counterattack, the U.S. Army was stunned. But as far as Allen Wilson is concerned, the Japanese will to resist is really strong? It’s not really a sure thing.

Maybe when the U.S. army really attacked the Japanese mainland, it will find that the Japanese army’s resistance is not as strong as in Okinawa instead, with the losses of the Battle of Okinawa, to project the cost required to attack Japan, it is not necessarily true. It’s just that the U.S. didn’t dare to gamble!

Of course Allen Wilson was talking about this matter in a stand-up tone, which quickly caused James Jones’ dissatisfaction, “Mr. Allen, Britain is claiming to take a common position with the United States, and is taking limited help in the war against Japan, which is not the attitude of a close ally.”

“It can’t be wrong for Britain to do this because it wants to leave the honor and joy of defeating Japan, to America.” Alan Wilson denied it, and seeing that the other party did not believe him, he could only add, “In saying that Britain has no interests in the Far East, it is true that we can’t do much to help.”

Although the Japanese Navy can be regarded as wiped out, in Southeast Asia, the Japanese army are in isolation. But it is true that the British and Indian allied forces were still far away from the Japanese mainland.

The United States has not also not solved the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and now the Japanese army in the Philippines is still in a group surrounded by the U.S. Army has not eliminated these Japanese troops who refused to surrender, Allen Wilson used this matter to refute James Jones’s speech, he even wanted to tell the other side, until the unconditional surrender of Japan, the U.S. Army has not been cleaned out of the Japanese army in the Philippines.

“Is there only profit in the matter of ending the war?” James Jones questioned, disgruntled.

“Ah, I, Great Britain, have my own country in this.” Alan Wilson put down his glass and helplessly spread his hands, “And as you know, Britain is an island nation and is not known for its land forces. Landing warfare is still America’s forte, and if you don’t believe me, Your Excellency can recall Operation Overlord as a firm American proposition.”

“Alan, our President has just taken office and is attending his first international conference, what the citizens at home need right now is good news, and in terms of the three parties attending this conference, isn’t it true that our relationship between the United States and Great Britain, at least, is significantly better than that with the Soviet Union?” James Jones took a deep breath and changed his tone, “Right now the United States needs Britain’s help, especially on this issue of fighting against Japan, and the Soviet Union is pressuring the United States with the matter of Yugoslavia, is Britain just going to look on from the sidelines?”

“This is an American problem, it was General Patton who took in those opponents of Tito.” Allen Wilson’s tone turned tough when he heard this question; he himself had caused this incident, so his heart was against the subject.

But as long as Allen Wilson did not admit it, no one would suspect him, after so many days, he had figured out why the raging storm had turned into a wetting, it must have involved the struggle between Eisenhower and Patton.

Can only say that the timing is coincidental, on the one hand, the European side of Eisenhower and Patton on the post-war attitude is inconsistent, on the other hand, the United States within the President Truman has just come to power, a lot of things are not yet very familiar. The fact that there happened to be a vacancy for Secretary of State in front of him proved this.

“Of course, I will inform the Foreign Secretary of the American attitude without reservation.” On the big positions, Britain and the United States had to be in agreement, and Allen Wilson, with a twist of words, said that he would still try to preserve this particular unity.

Since the Americans so desperately need the Soviet Union to enter the war, and is willing to make concessions, Allen Wilson is no reason to refuse, this is the Americans asked for it.

“It’s still the same question, the Americans very urgently need the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan.” Back to the Foreign Secretary Robert Aidan here, reported, “the tone is considered very urgent, can see that as of now, this is the United States is the most concerned about the issue, hope that we assist in putting pressure on the Soviet Union.”

“But the Prime Minister is much more concerned about Europe, and believes that the Soviet Union should be made to accept the status quo on the European issue first.” Robert Aiden frowned, “The American order is the opposite of what we advocate.”

“Honorable Foreign Minister, in fact, the problem of the war against Japan can be solved just as well as the problem on the European side.” Since a great ally had just expressed the need for help, how could Alan Wilson dare to jeopardize the special Anglo-American relationship, and spoke eloquently, “In fact, we had once held similar hopes for the Germans to become a problem for the Soviets.”

“You mean?” The bogeyman! Robert Aiden understood as soon as he heard it, he was already Foreign Minister at the age of thirty-eight, and this decision-maker to make Germany a problem for the Soviet Union was himself.

“It was I who said that, Minister. We all know that the Soviet Union is an army power with a strong military now, and that it is easiest to utilize the Soviet Union’s strengths in the great plains of Europe. And Japan is an island nation!” Alan Wilson is not condescending, completely neutral perspective, “If the war against Japan can start immediately, the Soviet Union will be diverted from Europe, besides, the Soviet Union sea power is weak, the same garrison, on the island is in the situation of no backup.”

Robert Aiden nodded approvingly, as soon as he heard Alan Wilson mention the scourge of the east, he who had once led similar decisions was instantly not sleepy, and with a face of recognition, he said, “The needs of America’s allies are indeed more justified than those of the Prime Minister.”

“Yes, Minister.” Allen Wilson smiled knowingly, “In fact, the Prime Minister, must have been mentioned by President Truman about fighting against Japan out of this ……”

“Out of preserving the precious relationship with our American ally!” Robert Aiden took the words over, “A gentleman never avoids his mistakes, does he?”
