After the uninvited guests left, Nobusuke Kishi, who expressed goodwill towards Ichiro Hatoyama's return, showed up to discuss the new situation.
The cherry blossom season has passed, but this does not delay Alan Wilson from expressing his curiosity about Tokyo, the heart of Japan. It is a pity not to visit this world-famous city after finally making a trip, although he believes that he should dedicate everything to the British Empire. , but there is nothing to be delayed by walking around.
In Alan Wilson's mind, from now until the twenty-first century, Tokyo will usher in a status that Japan has never had in the world, representing the highest level of development in the entire Asia.
Although the hardware facilities of the magic city in the 21st century have caught up with Tokyo, there are still some differences in some details.
Ginza is the most famous place to foreigners. In fact, it was already the most prosperous part of Tokyo before the war.
Although she was in a city with a different civilization or even a complete stranger, Vivien Leigh felt unprecedentedly comfortable holding the man's hand. Only in this place could she feel that this man completely belonged to her.
This is enough. She must consider the man's career and her own age, and cannot be too greedy.
What's more, Ellen Wilson has never expressed any dissatisfaction because of her age, and even prevented her from having a knife on her face, preferring to see the national treasure slowly getting unforgiving.
"How do you feel about this city?" Alan Wilson held Vivien Leigh's hand and asked during the stroll.
"Better than Kuala Lumpur and Xiangjiang! Or almost the same. The pace of Japanese life seems to be very fast. Everyone seems to be in a hurry?" Vivien Leigh tilted her head and expressed her opinion.
"The eyes are very vicious. This city can even be compared with New York and London." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "As for the pace of life, it's just that Britain has passed that time. Fortunately, the Industrial Revolution started in Britain. Appeared. All European countries had suffered the hardships they had to endure hundreds of years ago."
In terms of the harsh sea conditions in the North Atlantic, it is impossible to estimate how many people have died in the Atlantic since the colonial era began. The nickname of the Ocean of Storms is definitely not unfounded.
"Can it be compared with New York and London? Do I agree? Put aside, Americans think that no city in the world can compare with New York." Vivien Leigh whispered with a smile, "Be careful that our allies will be dissatisfied! "
"Sooner or later, New York will become a city with aging facilities and filth, and new cities will continue to appear, just like after Napoleon III transformed Paris." Alan Wilson shrugged, "This is inevitable Trends, Tokyo still has a lot of room for transformation.”
"Do you want me to hoard land?" Vivien Leigh asked, remembering Alan Wilson's suggestion to her to hoard land in Xiangjiang.
"No! It's not easy!" Alan Wilson shook his head decisively, thought for a moment and said, "There is only one objective condition in the world for Xiangjiang. It is unimaginable to be able to make a fortune there. It is not easy for us to reach out to Japan. , mainly depends on what actions the Americans take."
Now that Japan has not fully recovered from the war, it is too early to hoard land. It will be too late to wait until at least twenty years later. Besides, wouldn't it be easier to wait for the United States to harvest the Japanese stock market?
While walking slowly along the streets of Tokyo with Vivien Leigh, Japan, whose presence has been greatly reduced since the war, once again appeared on the headlines of newspapers around the world. This time it was the repatriation of prisoners of war.
The Australians originally wanted the Japanese prisoners of war to complete the preliminary development of the iron mines before repatriating them, but British Malaya attacked the prisoner of war camps. If Malaya was not ruled by Britain, Australia probably wouldn't care.
But precisely, after the attack on the prisoner of war camp, the British decided to repatriate, and the Australian government took coordinated actions after consideration. After all, Australians believe the saying that blood is thicker than water, and following the British policy has become a foregone conclusion.
The UK should be considered very lucky to have such a little brother. Unfortunately, the UK has always been at the bottom of the world in terms of maintaining cohesion. Not to mention compared with civilized countries with a long history, even France cannot compare.
Ireland, which is so close, cannot be assimilated, and the UK's incompetence in maintaining centripetal force is evident.
Fortunately, Australia has not been affected by its mother country, and has once again assumed a pioneering role. Australia's major media have launched a coordinated and violent attack on Japan's refusal to accept prisoners of war and allow the prisoners of war to fend for themselves overseas.
Soon, the recent memories of World War II, including the Japanese massacre of Australian prisoners of war, the killing of European expatriates in Southeast Asia, and the fact that women were used as comfort women, were excavated by the Australian media.
Today, five years after the end of World War II, Japan, which has become the rear area supporting the US military operations on the peninsula, has once again become the target of Australia's verbal criticism.
Australia's first attack was just the beginning, and the United Kingdom, Portugal and the Netherlands immediately followed.
Especially in British Malaya, this was not Alan Wilson's deliberate attempt to lead the anti-Japanese turmoil, but it still had something to do with him in Tokyo. The reason was that Alan Wilson, in the name of cleaning up the aftermath and storming prisoner-of-war camps, brought British Malaya this year. He spent most of his financial expenses and bought a batch of the most expensive aspirin in history.
The funding promised by London at the previous Kuala Lumpur meeting has just come full circle and returned to London's hands. Theoretically, British Malaya had no financial surplus this year, and all the money was spent on treating prisoners of war and repatriating them.
Therefore, the criticism of Japan by major newspapers in British Malaya at this time was absolutely sincere and not false at all.
The fifth battle on the peninsula was raging. Ridgway, who succeeded MacArthur, was not as narcissistic as his predecessor. He quickly noticed the instability in the rear. On the one hand, he asked the new Eighth Army Commander James Van Fleet to continue to follow the instructions. Military deployments are planned.
The U.S. military adopts the tactics of "gradually retreating, maintaining contact, and killing a large number of enemy effective forces." Be prepared to launch a counter-offensive when the opponent's offensive is expected to be unsustainable.
Ridgway himself sent a telegram to ask what happened in Japan. At this time, the US military was preparing a counterattack. If Japan was unstable, it would definitely have an impact on the front line.
After learning that the delay in the issue of prisoners of war had caused dissatisfaction on the British side, and joined forces with the Netherlands, Portugal and Australia to launch a fierce attack on Japan, Ridgway began to ask the Far East Command behind to inquire about the situation.
At this time, Ichiro Hatoyama spent a few days uniting with his old ministry to formally attack the Yoshida Shigeru cabinet in Congress and public opinion. First, Hatoyama Ichiro criticized the Yoshida Shigeru cabinet's work on prisoners of war in Japan's largest Sankei News. Indifferent.
As a result, Japan is now under attack from the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands and Portugal. This interview was very intense, and Ichiro Hatoyama used it to vent his anger at being betrayed by Shigeru Yoshida.
Yoshida Shigeru, along with his right-hand man Ikeda Yuuto and others, are the focus of Hatoyama Ichiro's firepower. One day later, Ichiro Hatoyama arrived at the Diet Hall and expressed his views on the repatriation of prisoners of war amid the cheers and support of former members of the parliament.
"There are now over half a million soldiers in the hands of Britain, Australia, the Netherlands, and Portugal. These soldiers were deceived by the previous military and are still paying the price today. They have been away from Japan for more than five years. In the UK, they expressed their willingness to release When these Japanese returned home, our prime minister acted as if he didn’t hear them, and I don’t understand why.”
"Don't Prime Minister Yoshida Shigeru know how many countries are criticizing Japan now? How can we do the ostrich thing and ignore the plight of hundreds of thousands of Japanese people and pretend that there is no such thing?"
Ichiro Hatoyama loudly asked Yoshida Shigeru in front of the current members of Congress, "Does the Prime Minister think that as long as we are willing to obey the arrangements of the United States, everything can be solved? So why is Japan being criticized again now?"
Ichiro Hatoyama's attack suddenly made Congress excited. Many members of Congress who supported Ichiro Hatoyama applauded or expressed their support for Hatoyama Ichiro.
This speech was quickly serialized by major newspapers including the Sankei Shimbun. For a time, Yoshida Shigeru was criticized by all walks of life for his evasive attitude on the issue of repatriation of prisoners of war.
Although the old Japanese soldiers are far less respected than they were before the war, and some social problems have arisen. But these are not excuses for indifference. After all, this involves political correctness, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese cannot be left alone and ignored.
Ichiro Hatoyama, who spoke out on this matter, should have been Japan's first post-war prime minister. If MacArthur had not forced Hatoyama Ichiro in the name of the occupation force, the current prime minister should have been Ichiro Hatoyama, not Shigeru Yoshida.
Even now, Ichiro Hatoyama still has a large number of supporters in Congress. Such a heavyweight politician's voice on the issue of prisoners of war, coupled with political correctness, has made Japan's public opinion unprecedentedly consistent, dragging Yoshida Shigeru into the vortex.
"Mr. Wilson, we already understand the British attitude. In fact, there is no need to be like this." Lieutenant General George Stuttermeyer, commander of the Far East Air Force, took the initiative to come to the British Embassy to talk about this matter.
Lieutenant General George Stuntmeyer has generally understood the ins and outs. After all, this is Japan, a country under the control of the US military stationed in Japan. After some investigation, the US military intelligence agency quickly grasped the situation. Alan Wilson this time The purpose of coming to Japan, and the Japanese government's deafness.
"Dear General, my time is actually very precious. I finally came to Japan once. Of course I hope that things will come to a conclusion. However, the Japanese adopted delaying tactics. It is simply an insult to my civil servant career!"
Alan Wilson chuckled, but still spoke in a friendly manner, "As for the Japanese's outwardly polite but principled objections, I think the necessary pressure is completely natural. All consequences should also be determined by these Japanese officials who did not act will be held responsible.”
