In this claim, the attitude of the Philippines is the top priority, especially the current President Elpidio Quirino. He has a blood feud with Japan, and his wife and daughter died under the Japanese butcher knife.
If his term of office expires, this matter may not be handled well. The Philippines can take the lead, but Australia and New Zealand will not be able to take part in some matters.
Sometimes blood being thicker than water is not a benefit. You must know that civil war is more cruel than foreign war. In the subconscious of many people, the psychology of domestic violence does exist.
If the United States puts pressure on the Philippines, the Philippines may not care. But if the United States puts pressure on Australia and New Zealand, which share the same culture and race, the latter may seriously consider it. The closer you are, the more you will suffer sometimes.
Alan Wilson believes that Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands are not reliable when it comes to claims against Japan. The most reliable one is the Philippines, which is emotionally farther away.
This is just like the fact that it is easier for the United States to harbor evil intentions to deal with Britain, but it is not easy to deal with France.
You can't just keep an eye on your wife and send her out at any time. Pamela Mountbatten did not disappoint her husband's hope. She personally came to do micro-management, confirmed the common position with the Philippines, and launched an attack on Japan.
President Quirino naturally expressed his gratitude to Pamela Mountbatten for her help. Under his administration, the Philippines has been pursuing the issue of claims. Seeing that his term is coming to an end at the end of the year, he especially hopes to solve this matter now. Once done, there will be a result that can be recognized by the Filipino people.
The issue of claims against Japan was difficult, but fortunately, there was support from other countries along the way, including the support of the three white countries in Australia, which made the claims louder this time and added a lot of hope to President Quirino.
Canberra, the capital of Australia, the competition between Sydney and Melbourne ultimately led to the success of this city. Among the top three in eastern Australia, Canberra has the shortest history, but it has a new look. The temperament of its citizens is also different from the other two cities.
Alan Wilson had already walked out of the airport, got into the car arranged by his wife, and headed to the property he purchased.
The climate in the Southern Hemisphere is opposite to that in the Northern Hemisphere, but the difference is not much different in the October season, but the trend is opposite.
Alan Wilson came to his wife's property in Canberra, sat down directly, and asked with the fatigue of sleeping rough, "Is the Philippines' determination to claim compensation firm?"
"As you said, President Quirino attaches great importance to this matter." Pamela Mountbatten made a cup of coffee, hoping to relieve her husband's fatigue.
After a while, he came over with coffee.
"That's good. Generally speaking, we hate nationalists, but we have to decide at some point. Nothing is absolute!" Alan Wilson blew a whistle, took a sip with satisfaction and said, "Where is our respected princess? Is it worrying my wife?"
"Very good. I have become more obedient in the past year. As you said, people always have to grow up." Pamela Mountbatten smiled brightly. "He is already twenty-three years old. If he continues like this, he will definitely grow up." No, you should have a partner.”
"I very much agree with this!" Alan Wilson lied without blushing, expressing his agreement with his wife's opinion.
Pamela Mountbatten stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in a high-rise apartment, looking through the glass at the twinkling lights of an artificial river bank half a mile away. She washed the gel out of her light brown hair and took off her ridiculous oval glasses.
Alan Wilson changed back into his usual "work" clothes: black underwear and a black T-shirt. This set of clothes fit tightly on his slender, soft body, like another layer of skin for him.
Hidden under the bloated black suit he wore during the day, his healthy body and rock-hard chest were now clearly visible to her. He looked so handsome, he almost took her breath away.
Alan Wilson's deep, guttural drawl seemed to radiate a sexy heat outwards, warming his wife from the inside out.
"Where is Australia's prepared negotiation location?" Alan Wilson tilted his head and asked his wife. Pamela Mountbatten was much better informed than him in this regard.
"The City Hall is not far from the Governor's Palace." Pamela Mountbatten said as she took off her coat. "Although we won't show up, everything has been arranged, and the whole process will not be in our eyes."
"That's good!" Alan Wilson sighed softly and nodded, "This is the advantage of the host. Although this meeting has nothing to do with Britain, Britain must know the whole process. The Americans should be arriving soon, and we have to give The claimants acted with confidence and, at critical moments, made the United States realize that blood is thicker than water.”
Although blood is thicker than water is not a good word here in Alan Wilson, it is still the same saying, there is always a time. The United States can deceive the United Kingdom in the name of blood being thicker than water, and the United Kingdom can also conduct moral kidnappings on the United States.
The UK's role in this claim negotiation is to support the Commonwealth countries and the Netherlands, a European ally. As for the three white countries involved wanting to support the Philippines, this is all their own initiative and has absolutely nothing to do with the UK.
Alan Wilson, who is well aware that Japan's political status is almost zero, certainly dares to do evil things. If it is against the United States, he must carefully consider it, but not Japan.
In today's world, apart from being unable to strike hard at the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain does not need to consider a third country for the time being.
On October 25, a Japanese delegation led by Ikeda Yuuto arrived in Canberra. This time negotiations involved five countries. Only Philippine President Elpidio Quirino came forward as the president of one country.
Other countries either came forward as negotiators, or, like the Netherlands, came forward as the Governor of Kalimantan, Van Dijk.
The day after arriving in Australia, Alan Wilson also met with his neighbor who occupied most of the other island of Kalimantan. Governor Van Dijk did not expect that the Malayan Commissioner would come to Canberra at this time.
After greetings, Alan Wilson said that he came over to visit his wife and asked if there were any important meetings.
The uninformed look on his face allowed Van Dijk to dispel his doubts and reveal the negotiation for compensation against Japan.
"So that's it. If you have time, you can come to the Mountbatten Group's headquarters as a guest." Alan Wilson laughed, "I hope your negotiations go well. If you need help with anything, please feel free to ask."
This is a bit hypocritical. In fact, the Australian people have high expectations for this negotiation. You must know that Australia’s national character is similar to that of the United States because of its vast land and sparse population.
The trumpet-sized United States was mobilized to punish Japan, and it was not easy to suppress it. Therefore, this negotiation actually received widespread attention in Australia. Alan Wilson said that he did not know about it, unless he had never negotiated with Japan after coming to Australia. Australians were contacted.
That is to say, Van Dijk, a Dutchman, would believe this obvious lie.
In fact, Ikeda Yuuto and his party already felt some vague hostility when they arrived in Canberra. In this era, Australia still had a strong white Australian mentality, and the appearance characteristics of the Japanese were still too obvious.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if I don’t go out mainly to the hotel where I live. But the existence of this kind of hostility made the Japanese representatives, including Yuto Ikeda, feel a bit of gloom in their hearts. It seemed not easy to escape unscathed or get through.
Canberra is a typical garden city, but the beautiful scenery of Canberra cannot make the Japanese relax at this time. They are not as relaxed as Alan Wilson, who is taking a ride in a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.
Pamela Mountbatten was equipped with the necessary tools in the cities where she often appeared. Of course, Canberra also had them. The model of the vehicle remained the same. It was still a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. She knew that her husband had no interest in driving, so she drove with her. The husband goes for a ride, which is exactly the opposite of what a normal couple does.
Amidst the laughter of some people, this negotiation, which is destined to be extremely painful for the Japanese, started at the Canberra City Hall. Pamela Mountbatten has instructed her media to start paying attention to this negotiation.
In the Canberra City Hall, representatives from Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands, on another occasion eight years later, launched a recovery effort for the losses suffered during the war. The US Embassy also sent diplomats to observe this meeting, and will report the situation to Washington after the meeting.
As soon as the talks began, President Quirino, who had a hatred against the Japanese for the murder of his wife and daughter, did not hesitate to accuse Japan with blood and tears. President Quirino has not forgotten how his wife and daughter were buried in Manila.
The Philippines, with the tacit approval of several other countries, went out of its way to accuse Japan of its crimes during the war. Several countries have hinted to the Philippines that they will support the Philippines in getting its own share.
"If there weren't several other countries, who would care about you!" Ikeda Yuuto looked serious and even looked at the emotional President Quirino with a hint of apology, but he didn't think so in his heart. It's just that it's hard to express his feelings on this occasion. .
But he had to take a stand and express his apology for the damage caused to the Philippines during the war. Apologies are free of charge anyway.
"Some military personnel were completely above the government during the war, and Japan was also a victim of the military. We are also sorry for the harm suffered by the Philippines and the countries present here due to violations of international law by military personnel. . Please accept my apology..."
Yuto Ikeda had a solemn look on his face. After President Quirino finished his accusation, he stood up and defended without hesitation, and then simply bowed, perfectly embodying the spirit of craftsmanship.
Alan Wilson would definitely be grinning if he were here. He really didn't know that Japan was like this in this era.
