Chapter 648 Disagreements Among Close Allies

If he were in the Soviet camp, maybe his eyes would shine, but the problem is that he is in the hostile camp of the Soviet Union. This is very embarrassing. Doesn't this mean that the Soviet Union used the panic of the Berlin crisis to take the citizens of West Berlin as hostages and drain the blood of the free world?

Things have reached the point where they are today and are already stuck. The United States cannot airlift generators to West Berlin to improve happiness. That is the electricity needed by more than two million people, and the oil transported by air is almost as much as a war.

And as long as the Soviet Union does not relent, even if the United States can airlift it in a short period of time, can it continue to airlift it for many years? This is almost how much the United States has been investing in a war with the intensity of the Korean War.

No wonder London is now at a loss. Alan Wilson is even thinking that Britain is trying to persuade the United States to abandon Berlin.

But it is not easy to give up Berlin. This is tantamount to surrendering to the Soviet Union. Britain can do this. Because Britain has always believed that money is more important than anything else. But the United States is different. The United States has just ascended to the throne of the world's hegemony, and was slapped on the head before it could sit firmly. The decision to abandon Berlin is not so easy to make.

Furthermore, the United States has already acquiesced in the Hokkaido matter, if it gives up on the Berlin crisis. How many royal pens are needed to cover up a major failure?

Alan Wilson can estimate that even if all the citizens of West Berlin are gone and the entire West Berlin becomes an empty city surrounded by walls, the United States will not retreat. At worst, it will treat West Berlin as a garrison base in the end. It's just a matter of not leaving. This is the way to save face.

In the final analysis, what the free world values ​​​​is not the citizens of West Berlin, but West Berlin as a place, allowing this nail to be driven into the heart of the Soviet Union to work. As for the well-being of West Berlin citizens, it is not so important.

Due to climate reasons, Pamela Mountbatten was preparing to leave her homeland and live in Australia for a period of time. By the way, the telegram stated that General Mountbatten will go to the Mediterranean Fleet to be the commander of the fleet next year. After completing an important step in life, when the important step of becoming Commander of the Grand Fleet is completed, the road to Sea Lord will be smooth.

In the telegram, he asked his husband whether his return to Malaya was going well. He also said hello to Ali Khan, who had just arrived in Sabah, and said that he could discuss cooperation if he had time.

Today, Pamela Mountbatten is no longer the little girl who was stunned by Alan Wilson's diamonds. It can be said that Pamela Mountbatten's wealth is no longer lower than that of Ali Khan, the former world's richest man. .

And with the blessing of time, Pamela Mountbatten's wealth will increase even more, with the help of Princess Badia. Mountbatten Petroleum Company has made the leap from Libya to the Persian Gulf. It has entered the core area of ​​the world's oil resources, and it has the support of the royal family. The oil company also has shares of the Crown Prince and Princess Margaret.

My wife keeps using her wealth to bind more and more people to join her.

Now he has become the spokesperson of Europe's reactionary feudal lords.

The international situation at the end of 1951 was mainly focused on the Berlin Crisis and the Far East War. For this reason, the United Kingdom has also shown its restless tradition. At the United Nations, it expressed its analysis with the United States for the first time, which surprised many countries.

Regarding the determination of the Korean War, will the United States lose face if it wins or loses? Britain doesn't care. The shame of Americans belongs to the United States. Britain has no interests in the peninsula. On the contrary, it is believed that the security of Europe is related to British interests.

After this round of fighting, as the Berlin crisis could not be resolved in a short time, the United Kingdom felt that the situation in Europe was heating up, and they quarreled over which issue was more important, Europe or the Far East, and the United States.

At the special session of the UN General Assembly, the United States planned a fifteen-nation proposal in an attempt to cancel the political meeting so that it could not serve as the basis for resolving the North Korean issue. Not only did the UK not support this, but it jointly proposed a "four-nation proposal" with Canada, Australia and New Zealand to oppose the US proposal, and openly quarreled with the United States at the United Nations over political conferences and other issues.

Britain is opposed to the United States continuing to invest military power on a peninsula with nothing but ignoring Europe's security needs. Because the war was not over yet, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which sent troops, supported the British resolution. We hope to end the war as soon as possible and withdraw the dispatched troops.

This is a huge slap in the face for the United States, which considers itself the leader of the free world.

There can be two gangs in a neighborhood, but one gang cannot have two bosses. Britain united with the former dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand to jointly oppose the American proposal, which made Americans very uncomfortable. A British man actually thinks he is his father?

The result is that the United States will support what Britain opposes, and the United States will oppose what Britain advocates. Britain believes that the United States should end the war as soon as possible, and the United States should increase its investment in the war and gain a favorable situation before considering negotiations.

The British privately communicated to abandon Berlin to reduce consumption, and the United States increased its airlift to Berlin. If there wasn't still a shred of reason in his head, the United States might really have airlifted the generator to West Berlin.

After this meeting, Syngman Rhee publicly criticized the governments of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Syngman Rhee blamed the defeat of the war on the influence of these governments, which led to MacArthur's dismissal. MacArthur, like Syngman Rhee, wanted to bring the Korean Peninsula into the free world.

Syngman Rhee's remarks led to a storm of protests in the UK. Although South Korea immediately denied this accusation the next day, it has aroused extreme resentment among the British and Commonwealth public. In addition, the truth about the corrupt rule of Syngman Rhee's regime continues to be exposed, and the British public's support for the Korean War and the United Nations action It is getting lower and lower, and even British diplomats and lawmakers have doubts about US military policy.

Alan Wilson has been spending time with his richest friend recently to discuss the development of Sabah. After this round of fighting on the peninsula stopped near the end of the year, there was no time to pay attention to what happened on the Korean peninsula.

Rhee's remarks came to light only after he followed Pamela Mountbatten's Princess Margaret to Kuala Lumpur.

Alan Wilson took a breath and said with disbelief on his face, "Is there such a thing?"

"Just two days ago, it was reported in London." Princess Margaret said angrily, "That Korean president is an arrogant maniac. He is counting on the United States and the Commonwealth countries to provide money and life to help him unify the peninsula."

"That kind of idiots are widely distributed in Asian countries." Alan Wilson was not very surprised. For example, Chang Gong, Diem, and Lon Nol. The United States has a special preference for these investees. It is better to say that it has a good vision. question.

However, when it came to the issue of Britain's national dignity, Alan Wilson vowed to take out his diary in front of his wife and sister-in-law and write down Syngman Rhee's name.

When Mrs. Chang criticized Britain before, Alan Wilson once wanted to find some work for the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia. Those Slavs always said that they were willing to do something to prove their reliability.

But you can’t talk about reliability without actually taking action to help Britain clean up those who have trampled on British dignity. Alan Wilson couldn't believe the reliability.

Of course, this was just for show. Alan Wilson knew that it would be difficult to enter South Korea and kill a president. It is estimated that he will have to wait until the other party steps down before killing the whole family. What he is doing now is just to show his attitude.

Pamela Mountbatten's visit this time was naturally for the migration of migratory birds. After entering winter, the climate in London was terrible. The whole sky was dark, and Mrs. Wilson was going to live in Australia for a while, and then return to her homeland when spring came.

As for Princess Margaret, it was mainly because she had to follow her, and it was originally outside of Pamela Mountbatten's plan.

"The main reason why London thinks it should abandon Berlin is that it discovered that many Berliners were speculating and reselling our airlifted materials to the Soviets for huge profits." Pamela Mountbatten talked about the current real thoughts of the United Kingdom and did not want to invest in this bottomless pit. Went down.

"Dear, don't use this Soviet vocabulary, otherwise your reliability will be questioned." Alan Wilson corrected softly and changed the word, "After all, the demand exists, this is part of free trade. But I also think , The United States’ insistence on this matter has no intention of resolving the matter. It would be better to suspend the air transport for a few days and allow the citizens of West Berlin to escape, which will reduce the burden greatly in the future.”

To be honest, Alan Wilson's mood is very complicated. As far as the Berlin Crisis is concerned, he is simply at war with himself. After this incident, it is estimated that the skills of fighting each other will be greatly improved.

At first he made suggestions for the United Kingdom, then he helped the Soviet Union, and finally he devoted himself to the free world. A classic example of me against myself.

Alan Wilson would have wanted to take Pamela Mountbatten around with him if there wasn't a follower here.

He now knew that differences had arisen between Britain and the United States over the more important issue of Europe or the Far East. It can be said that this was the first time after the war that analysis was presented to the world.

"Actually, I don't recommend having differences with the United States on this kind of matter. Especially when the United States needs help now. If the United States believes that its national strength can deal with two problems at the same time, it is useless for us to object."

Alan Wilson hugged his wife's body and whispered softly, "Otherwise, the United States may think that we are deliberately speaking out. And in fact, we have no ability to stop the United States. For the current United Kingdom, it is based on defense and completing an orderly contraction."

"Just watching the United States act nonsense." Pamela Mountbatten said angrily, "Americans are not serious about Britain."

"At least it's not time yet!" Alan Wilson signaled to be calm. "The key is that Britain cannot rely on American assistance. There will be opportunities if you wait slowly."
