"Oh?" Philby then flipped through it a few times and suddenly glanced at Alan Wilson and asked, "Is it possible that there is still a possibility of peace talks? If the United States mediates."
"Mediation has turned into what Germany is now like? Has it become that no one can eat anyone else?" Alan Wilson said while shaking his head, "This is impossible. If you know a little bit about Chinese history, you will know how much that country paid for reunification. We can all pay for it, how to mediate? Just like Germany now, with hundreds of thousands of troops on one side? So according to the size of China, it would take three million Red Army troops to the north of the Yangtze River and two million U.S. troops to the south to hold it in check? Will the United States do this? What?"
As far as the level of the Cannon Party people are concerned, they are completely the opposite of any good words. Alan Wilson couldn't even pick out words to describe the eight-year war of annihilation like the Anti-Japanese War. 130,000 rifles were produced. Who dares to believe this number? During the Opium War, the Qing court produced more thermal weapons than the Artillery Party. This cannot be described as incompetent, as if anything related to manufacturing could kill the Artillery Party.
"Like Germany? Haven't we always maintained the unity of Germany?" Philby frowned slightly, "It's just that the crimes of the Third Reich have not yet been liquidated, and it is not yet time to form a coalition government."
"Oh, Philby, since you have access to so much intelligence, you should understand that the division of Germany is a foregone conclusion. We have been reluctant to formally announce the merger of the three occupied areas. We just want the United States to agree to some conditions." Alan Wilson sighed, "After all, most of the Ruhr area is in the British-occupied area. We still want the United States to give some benefits. We can't give it away in vain. Otherwise, we might as well let the Trade Commission continue to work."
The backer has collapsed. Germany's problems are not within the scope of communication between the two. Now they are talking about Eastern problems. For any doubts Philby had, Alan Wilson had the answers.
At the same time, when Philby said that he might be able to save something, Alan Wilson gave a resounding rebuttal, "No country in the world has the national power to save such an incompetent party. It can still protect the interests of the United Kingdom." We can fight for it, regardless of how the United States responds. I suggest that British-owned enterprises in the Far East be sent to Xiangjiang, and then wait and see. The fleet withdraws from the inland network, and the sea is our world."
After the Communist Party knelt down, there were still many foreign-funded enterprises left there, among which British-funded enterprises were the largest. The United Kingdom is a relatively special country in the capitalist camp. In view of the special characteristics of the United Kingdom, China has adopted strict measures against British enterprises in China. It is different from the attitude towards American companies in China.
However, although it was not confiscated, the general environment has changed and British-owned enterprises still encountered operational difficulties. In response, Alan Wilson said that an imperial retreat should be carried out and companies should be evacuated to Xiangjiang to wait and see.
"Then we have to send troops to defend." Philby said to himself after hearing this.
"What to defend? If you have the energy, why not think about how to defend Malaya? Why defend that place with a big nose? How can we have the manpower to fight against millions of troops? If they want to take it away, we can't keep it. This kind of It’s time to be more straightforward, like a woman who looks forward and backward, she will only be seen through.”
Alan Wilson was talking about the chairman of a certain school's conservative party. The blackmail also depends on who is right, that is, Argentina is indeed too bullshit. If it were Brazil, London might think about it carefully and finally forget it.
Philby was actually more interested in things in Germany, while Alan Wilson said that it was none of his business. He himself was just idle now and didn't know what to do.
Nothing comes for free, and Britain and France have no obligation to help the United States fight the Soviet Union.
Now at least the political core in London has recognized that the Soviet Union has suffered heavy losses in terms of manpower in this world war. The conventional army only looks scary, but it will take at least another ten years for the children who are currently around ten years old to grow up before a world war is actually launched.
Although the source was Alan Wilson, he was able to guess the result after careful verification. After all, Churchill had always wanted to have Germany and the Soviet Union one in the morgue and one on the operating table.
Former Prime Ministers have made such calls. Could it be that Alan Wilson’s conclusion after seeking verification was also wrong?
Now that the verification has come to a conclusion, Prime Minister Attlee, who was far less enthusiastic about the Cold War than Churchill, is not unable to cooperate with the United States, but it is definitely not an unconditional cooperation. It is normal for the boss to formulate rules that are beneficial to him, but sometimes bloodletting is required. , Prime Minister Attlee was waiting to see what conditions the United States could use in exchange for Britain agreeing to give up the interests of the British-occupied areas.
The current situation is that since the late war, the United States has had to rely on Britain to continue to bleed, so it has agreed to the four-nation partition occupation. The area occupied by the United States is not as prosperous as the British-occupied area or even the French-occupied area, and it is far smaller than the Soviet-occupied area. .
But as is the case in many fields, the United States now wants to change this unfavorable division and has been working hard to do so, hoping that London will make concessions.
If, as in history, Britain asks for help, so be it. But it has been three years since the two wings were implemented. London has officially ended the rationing system and cleared its short-term debt. Obviously, it does not want to let go of the British-occupied areas so early.
Ismay, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been working for the past six months to pull France to adopt a common position and negotiate the merger of the three regions advocated by the United States. Originally, in the original history, it was the joint pressure from Britain and the United States that made the merger of the French-occupied area and the dual-occupied area finally successful.
Now it has become Britain and France, in the name of establishing a coalition government, to fend off the United States' request for merger. This also received support from the Soviet Union, which believed that the United States was splitting Germany, while Britain and France did not want to see Germany split.
This is of course not true. Britain and France are also happy to see Germany split, but the interests of the occupied areas are difficult to give up.
However, taking into account cooperation and struggle, Britain and France are also happy to hold the shit basin of Germany's division on the heads of the Americans. When the United States is willing to pay the appropriate price, Britain and France will give up resistance and let the United States bear the main responsibility.
Norman Brooke, who was busy establishing the Overseas Assets Management Committee, even asked Alan Wilson to go there once during his busy schedule to inquire about the report on the civil war trends of a certain major country and whether it was authentic or just a lie.
"Dear Sir Norman, this is a question for a gentleman!" Alan Wilson said righteously.
"Oh?" Norman Brooke's eyes glanced up and down at Alan Wilson and asked, "Does this constitute a questioning gentleman?"
"Of course!" Alan Wilson straightened his back and emphasized, "A gentleman who graduated from Oxford."
"The Prime Minister is also very concerned about the situation in the Far East. Although it is far less than the United States, we still have interests." Norman Brooke took a deep breath. "If such a big country becomes a country with the Soviet system, it may make a difference. It’s an ordinary reaction, and the future is hard to say.”
Alan Wilson opened his mouth and wanted to say something about the domino theory, but he still did not say it out loud. He just said in passing, "The situation on the Korean Peninsula is similar. We are also in an environment where the United States and the Soviet Union are divided. We all know that, What if China’s status in the Eastern world creates a demonstration effect?”
"Oh, will such a situation happen?" Norman Brook frowned and said with an uncertain face.
"But it's not necessarily a bad thing for Britain, right? It just allows the United States to continue the Pacific War and realize the wishes of some gentlemen." Alan Wilson said with a relaxed expression.
The so-called gentlemen are a group of leaders who knew Britain very well in the late World War II. After the European battlefield ended, there were actually many people in the UK who really hoped that Japan would keep its word and fight a decisive battle on home soil.
This is exactly the opposite of the European battlefield. European countries serve as backup, and the U.S. military fights on the battlefield. On the one hand, it can continue to receive assistance from the United States to restore its strength, and on the other hand, it can use Japan's resistance to weaken the United States.
Some of these gentlemen even included Pamela Mountbatten's father. General Mountbatten had been encouraging the US military to invade Japan and completely liquidate the country.
Mountbatten was of course not prepared to lead the British army to complete this task. He just wanted the US military to be bloodletted like European countries.
The most optimistic people believe that Japan will let the war last for two years and exhaust the United States. But with the successful nuclear bomb explosion, this wish was not realized.
Norman Brooke had obviously heard such remarks, and lowered his voice and said, "Write a report and leave it to me. Don't let anyone know about it, my expert on Eastern issues."
Alan Wilson nodded understandingly. Reports like this with clear results are actually very difficult. Just fill it in with specious and far-fetched content.
The vast majority of China Pass users are actually at this level. The so-called China Pass is just a label used to make money.
Not to mention, Alan Wilson is really talented and knowledgeable. It is not difficult to pile up the number of words to produce such a report. The biggest difficulty is to make the report so long and smelly that the prime minister and ministers cannot understand it. They just feel I don't know how serious it is.
This report is full of utilitarianism and was written from the perspective of how to view the excitement of the United States. Fortunately, the confidentiality level is very high. Otherwise, if it were leaked, it would not be a joke, and it would damage the special relationship between Britain and the United States, its significance and give Philby that The importance of one cannot be compared to the same.
While Alan Wilson was busy, a delegation from the Crown Territory of Newfoundland arrived in London, forcing Alan Wilson to slow down the progress. How could it be said that his chief executive had not expired yet, so of course he had to handle the reception work himself.
