Chapter 464 The Overall Situation Is the Most Important Thing

"How do you say this?" Reagan was stunned. Although he had initially met the conditions of a scab, after all, it was not a true moral vacuum. He still had a lot to learn.

"Sometimes, for the good of the country, we have to make friends with bad people and occasionally abandon good people who don't cooperate."

Alan Wilson drank a drink by himself, "Actually, who cares whether these people are Soviet sympathizers? The key is that we must use some means to strengthen the minds of most citizens and not be deceived by the Soviets. In this kind of situation In this case, it doesn’t actually matter whether they were wrongly accused or not. If it can save the souls of most people and send a few people to hell, it is a completely necessary price.”

Alan Wilson's meaning was very clear. There should be a movement similar to the Great Purge, but definitely not called that.

It may not be necessary to eliminate them physically, but some people must pay a price that ordinary people cannot imagine in order to unite the hearts of the country and openly confront the Soviet Union.

He believed McCarthy could understand. Just over twenty years ago, Social Darwinism was still very popular in the United States. Before World War II, there were also overwhelming numbers of Hitler believers in the United States. It was not that long ago, and they were not forgotten so quickly.

Alcohol obscured Alan Wilson's true thoughts, and it was just right to speak the truth in a drunken manner.

Alan Wilson planted a seed today and naturally had the patience to wait for it to sprout. Now it is just a preventive shot.

Because currently, the second of the three major battles, the Battle of Jam Seng Fan, has just begun, and the situation is unclear. The United States has not been touched yet. It will not officially begin until the Republican Party has completely knelt down and the Republican Party has launched a challenge to Truman.

If the opposition party is not in power, it will be tough to talk loudly. Even if the Democratic Party is much tougher than the Republican Party in this era, it will not help. If the Republican Party is in power, Alan Wilson believes that there is no way to deal with the muddy gun party.

If the Republican Party is willing to go all out and sell kidneys to support artillery, Alan Wilson can be sure that he will repair the sickle and hammer flag overnight, welcome the Soviet Red Army to liberate Europe, denounce the United States' conspiracy to kidnap Europe and start a cold war, and is willing to lead the way to glory. Red Army soldiers marched straight to Washington.

Alan Wilson was very sure that there was no country on earth that could support the artillery party in 1948.

If the United States insists on doing this, don't blame Britain for showing the flexibility of old imperialism, siding with the righteous Soviet Red Army, and sweeping the traitor into the garbage.

After three drinks, Alan Wilson sent two friends out.

Reagan did not forget to compliment, "Consul Allen, only a man like you can conquer a woman like Vivien Leigh."

The young man is very developed! Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and accepted Reagan's compliment. People always seem so approachable when they are not yet prosperous. He has conquered more than just one British treasure. There are many Hollywood actresses with whom he has close relationships.

"Actually, they are just like-minded friends." Alan Wilson said humbly and disrespectfully, "We both work in the United States and we take care of each other."

McCarthy and Reagan laughed. Although they knew what was going on in their hearts, they fully agreed with it.

"See you tomorrow, my friend!" Alan Wilson waved to McCarthy and Reagan. As for whether Reagan would seize the opportunity and show his reliability in front of McCarthy, it was none of his business.

Returning to the apartment, Alan Wilson turned off the monitoring equipment. Vivien Leigh came down from upstairs and watched the man busy, "This is the United States. It's very dangerous for you to be like this. I'm nervous up there."

"There is a saying in the East, wealth can be found in danger. This recording is so important to our British Empire." Alan Wilson held the recording and couldn't help but kiss it. "Maybe it will be used in the future."

"But aren't we allies with the United States?" Vivien Leigh stuck out her tongue, "I don't understand either, people say that."

"This suspicious ally is concerned about the vast colonies of the British Empire." Alan Wilson put away the recording calmly, "But now that the United States is too strong, it is impossible for Britain to exert pressure from outside, so then change One way is for us to join in and mess up the United States from within. Give the United States more things to do so they won’t come to trouble us.”

"I just don't know about this. The government said that we have a very good relationship with the United States." Vivien Leigh said quietly.

"The relationship is very good. A Lend-Lease Act drained all the blood of Britain. We have to thank this vampire." Alan Wilson twisted his eyes, and then said softly, "But it doesn't matter, there is always a chance."

Before the United States promulgated the Lend-Lease Act, the United States required the United Kingdom to transfer some important company shares to the United States. Otherwise, the United States did not guarantee that the Lend-Lease Act would be passed, and the Americans only gave it seventy-two hours.

All these British companies are privately held companies, but the United States does not care. The United Kingdom must use state power to let private individuals sell the companies. It only has 72 hours. Therefore, many top British companies at that time were sold to Wall Street in the United States by Churchill within 72 hours. .

Wall Street made a lot of money here. A British rayon company that was the world's number one at the time, Morgan & Co., which handled the business, only gave Britain 54 million U.S. dollars, and then sold it on the market for 6,200 U.S. dollars. Ten thousand U.S. dollars. Morgan made eight million U.S. dollars as soon as it changed hands, and the company's book assets at that time were worth $12.8 billion. Wall Street made countless profits from such open robberies.

Americans have been waiting for this moment for a long time. These British companies are the backbone of British national industry. The United States directly discounts and then takes them away. This is also one of the main reasons for the decline of British industry after the end of World War II.

Before the outbreak of World War II, the United States reduced the debts owed by numerous countries during World War I and continued to collect debts from Britain.

Alan Wilson does not think that with one more of him, the British Empire will be able to return to its peak. It will still shrink when it should. The national strength can no longer support such a big plate.

He just wanted to avoid turning contraction into a collapse and compare it with the UK a few decades later. He was wondering how the British could accept that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets had turned into a small island in just twenty years. From a comparison point of view, the collapse of the UK was much more severe than the collapse of the Soviet Union. The words of the old developed countries cannot be comforted at all.

He is not completely unable to accept the fact that times have changed. In fact, many British people have already felt it from the moment the world war broke out.

It’s just that the current situation in the UK is far better than that of the same period in history. After two years of full-scale construction in British India, the 1.2 billion pounds plundered may seem short-sighted, but it has played a huge role. The two wings were flying together, resulting in Britain returning to pre-war levels before the Marshall Plan was proposed.

Keeping Newfoundland is only a visible achievement, and Alan Wilson has reason to hope that there will be a future in which Britain will not completely shrink back to its homeland.

Despite being in the Senate for more than two years, McCarthy still drives his own car. He doesn't need or want a driver, assistant or bodyguard.

Sometimes an intern would ride with him in the car and make notes, but most of the time he enjoyed the tranquility of wandering in the city traffic while listening to classical guitar music on the radio. Many of his friends, especially those who have climbed to the throne of the Foundation, have large sedans with chauffeurs, and some even have luxury cars.

McCarthy didn't. This is a waste of time, money and privacy. If he climbed to a high position, he certainly wouldn't want the driver hanging on his neck. That's a liability. Besides, he likes to be alone. His office is a madhouse. A dozen people jumped up and down, answering phones and drafting documents to serve the gang sent to Wisconsin from Washington. There are also two people dedicated to raising funds.

Alan Wilson didn't realize what McCarthy's desires were. Except for alcohol, it seemed that everything could be discussed.

Could it be that McCarthy was the kind of person who, even if he had lofty ambitions, kept them to himself?

McCarthy did not deny that he liked obscurity, rural life, good restaurants, small bookstores and cafes. He loved theater and music, and he and his wife never missed a performance at the Music Center.

Because of alcohol, McCarthy expressed his approval of Alan Wilson and believed that the British consul was a person he could be friends with. Therefore, when Alan Wilson asked Reagan what he was like, he gave his own answer, "Ronald, it seems He is very passionate about politics, and I even jokingly asked him if he would run for president in the future."

"Ah..." Alan Wilson sighed with a strange look on his face, thinking about the possibility of McCarthy turning into a prophet.

If the senator in front of him had even a little bit of long-term vision, he wouldn't end up like that in the end.

"But he is a reliable person." McCarthy said with a smile without seeing Alan Wilson's reaction, "He made many useful suggestions."

"Which aspect?" Alan Wilson really wanted to hear what the future president of the United States had to say, but after hearing McCarthy say it again, he couldn't help but think that it was just ordinary.

Just like Reaganomics was promoted by Reagan's Treasury Secretary, not President Reagan, we really can't expect much from an actor.

"Alan, I also want to hear about your British approach to curbing pro-Soviet thoughts." McCarthy asked. Obviously, the last time he drank too much was not completely fruitless.

"The national conditions of our two countries are different, but there are several ways, but they are more suitable for the Democratic Party and less suitable for you, the Republican Party." Alan Wilson shrugged, "The Republican Party is more direct, it is easier to be recognized, and there is no guilt in being patriotic. As long as the banner you put out is good, even if the results are not good, you are blameless."
