Chapter 1251 Countermeasures

,

At this moment, in the situation in Southeast Asia, Britain and the United States are like grasshoppers on a rope. No one can say how relaxed they are.

The United States could force Britain, the Netherlands, and Portugal to give up their colonies.

But even if it gives up, Indonesia will never return to the embrace of the free world. This was possible before, but it is not possible now.

In the situation in Southeast Asia, a domino theory is popular in American political circles. This theory is that once South Vietnam cannot withstand North Vietnam's attack, South Vietnam will be like the first domino to collapse, knocking down the countries behind it one by one. The final result Naturally, the entire Southeast Asia will become a puppet state of the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson once considered whether the Americans would change their minds about getting involved in the Vietnam War and adopt a wait-and-see attitude if Indonesia changed its color. But if you think about it carefully, this possibility does not appear. The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred more than a year before the Indonesian coup.

In other words, it was more than a year after the United States officially started war in Vietnam that Suharto defeated the Indonesian Communist Party. Prior to this, the United States was extremely worried about the expansion of the Indonesian Communist Party and believed that losing Indonesia was inevitable. It was on the premise that Indonesia was completely hostile that the United States launched a war in Vietnam.

Historically, when the United States intervened in the Vietnam War, it faced a dilemma, and the situation could not be more uncomfortable than it is now.

It can be said that the special relationship between Britain and the United States in Southeast Asia at this time is the real special relationship. The previous special relationship was only a superficial relationship.

With this consensus, Britain and the United States have a basis for cooperation. They both agree that in this difficult period, Britain and the United States should share the difficulties. United to withstand this round of red tide attacks in Southeast Asia, Alan Wilson also relayed Britain's assurance that it would stand firmly with the United States in response to the changes in Indonesia.

After reaching a consensus, Alan Wilson prepared to return home to make arrangements. Returning to Lana Turner's house, Alan Wilson thanked the other party for his recent care.

"Friends should help each other." Lana Turner said with a smile, "I also want to thank you for taking care of Cheryl when she was in Europe. I will see you off tomorrow!"

This time Alan Wilson returned to London and chose a longer route, from Washington to Los Angeles, settling in Hawaii, arriving in Perth via Canberra, and then stopping. He also has to go to Kuala Lumpur to make some arrangements before returning to London.

"What happened in Indonesia was so sudden." It was summer in Australia at this time. Pamela Mountbatten was dressed in cool clothes and poured a glass of juice for her husband who had saved half the world. "You don't know, Australia... Whether it’s TV or newspapers,

All are talking about Jakarta. I think maybe apart from being so consistent when facing the Japanese army going south, this is the only time. "

"As expected!" Old God Alan Wilson muttered, and took the juice handed over by his wife with a very comfortable expression. "Australians should now feel a little bit more like Europe. Facing an Indonesian Can’t stand it anymore? Are Australians going to wet their pants when facing the Soviet Union?”

If you think about it carefully, the English-speaking countries of the Five Eyes Alliance and the UK are simply miserable. The United States and Canada are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and Australia and New Zealand are also far away from a major country. As for the British mainland, facing the Soviet Union, people should do whatever they want to do if they have a good life for four years. When the British go to bed, they call the Soviet Union in their dreams not to...

Why? In other words, it was a foregone conclusion, otherwise Alan Wilson would have wished that Alaska was also a sacred and inseparable part of the Soviet Union, so that Americans could also feel the benefits of being neighbors with the Soviet Union. In this way, some of the tanks piled up by the Soviet Union in Europe can be placed in North America.

Don't get me wrong, Alan Wilson is all about the U.S. Army. This will help enhance the importance of the U.S. Army. It is all for the balanced development of the various services in the city on the hill, and has no other intention.

"My dear, you don't seem to care much." Pamela Mountbatten was a little annoyed. Did her husband listen to her?

"It's not that I don't care, I'm just covering up my sadness with a smile. What can I do now? I can only think about remedies and benefits." Alan Wilson put down the empty cup and said as the head of the family, "Is it possible? I am worried now, will Indonesia be able to return to the state it was in a week ago?"

"Benefits?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned, stretched out her hand to hold her husband's forehead, her face was full of disbelief.

"I don't have a fever." He reached out and grabbed his wife's hand. Ellen Wilson pointed to her legs. The female CEO sat down and explained, "I understand the panic in the hearts of Australians."

This is nonsense, Alan Wilson understands Australia's fear of Asia better than anyone in the world.

This has been proven time and time again. A certain big country threatens Australia just for fun. Even when the fear of a certain big country is the greatest, Australia does not forget to devote half of its attention to Indonesia.

Gu Xun

After all, a certain big country is still far away, but Indonesia is a country right in front of us. The most unwilling fact for Australia to face is that Indonesia and a certain big country wear the same pants.

Don't even say, if you wear a pair of trousers, even if Indonesia is in a neutral position, Australia will always suspect that Indonesia will surrender to the Communist Party.

In particular, Indonesia's population is still expanding, and the expansion rate far exceeds Australia's population growth. If Alan Wilson's amphibious landing plan, which was repeatedly rejected by the United States, had been discussed with Australia, Australia would have sent troops eight times.

In the 21st century, the island of Java alone supports 150 million Indonesians, and Australia has a population of 25 million. If Alan Wilson was an Australian, he would be confused when he thought of Indonesia turning hostile.

Australia has a White Australia Policy. If Australia wants to, there are countless opportunities to annex island countries in the South Pacific. Australians are not willing to do this, and they are not even willing to accept such a small number of South Islanders, let alone a country with so many people in Indonesia.

There are now 90 million people in Indonesia, and Australia’s population has just exceeded 10 million. After showing that he understands the concerns of the Australians, Alan Wilson changed the subject and said, "Australian mining has led such a good life in recent years. It’s time to contribute to the free world. Everyone is contributing, but you are the only one making money?”

"My dear, after I have listened to your mature thinking with an overview of the overall situation, and the precise judgment you came up with, can I get to the point?" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her husband.

"Indonesia is an archipelagic country and must rely on its navy to fight against it. Currently, the Australian Navy has an aircraft carrier strike group provided by us, but the Tejas class is actually not useful. Not to mention the previous smaller one. Australia only has one aircraft carrier strike group. This size The United States will definitely not sell aircraft carrier battle groups, only we in the UK will."

Alan Wilson continued calmly, "After I go back, I plan to talk to the marshal about the adjustment of the deployment of British forces around the world. The few Centaurs in the Pacific Fleet are no longer available. The Soviets gave Indonesia a The fleet is also an excellent excuse to increase the Pacific Fleet. I believe the military will understand this."

If this arms sale is successful, it will not go away on the same day as the last one, and the level of threat will be different. We should take the opportunity to increase prices. Australia has money after digging for so long.

"Father must be happy." Pamela Mountbatten did not doubt this. Marshal Mountbatten was a veteran of the Navy and would never let go of the opportunity to expand the Royal Navy.

"The Army is also happy. I remember that the British troops stationed in Australia do not need to be allocated funds." Alan Wilson reviewed the accounts from Frank. The cost of the British troops stationed in Australia is borne by Australia. What is an imperial loyal dog? Who doesn’t like having allies like this?

"How many days are you going to stay here?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, who was traveling for his country. "When will you return to London?"

"I want to go to Kuala Lumpur first." Alan Wilson shook his head. "Indonesia has moved towards the Soviet bloc, and short-term shocks are inevitable. Malaya is right next to Indonesia. Some people who are afraid because of the unstable situation may Escape to Malaya. Those who can escape are rich people, and you can’t escape if you don’t have money.”

"You want to accept them?" Pamela Mountbatten understood immediately, but she still asked doubtfully, "Are they reliable? You have to know that the development of Malaya today is not easy."

"There will be no problem." Alan Wilson is confident. Cubans who escaped from Cuba during the Castro period are different from other Latinos. Those are all hardcore Republicans. Florida is as important as Texas in the Republican political map.

Like these exiles, once they arrived in Malaya, they were more loyal to the British than the locals.

To this day, Alan Wilson feels that the discoloration of Indonesia is the outcome that would benefit the UK the most.

Malaya might feel some military pressure, but that was the downside of being in Britain. Britain uses Malaya to suppress Indonesia, and Australia will definitely cooperate willingly, which will also help Britain maintain a longer-term influence on this mine.

If it hadn't been such a huge failure for the free world as a whole, he would be laughing out loud right now.

The cabinet secretary was full of energy, and after soothing the empty body of the female president, he took off again to Kuala Lumpur, a place with the best economy in Southeast Asia, especially better than Indonesia.

This time I came here to attract the exiles who wanted to live in the free world, especially the wealthy ones. Alan Wilson wanted to hear what the High Commissioner thought.

The last bit of value must be squeezed out of Indonesia. Britain's life is not easy now. It needs some leeks who have been severely hit by the Soviet iron fist and come to Malaya full of anger to bleed and sweat.
