British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 113: Attlee Plan

The core of the so-called economic revitalization plan is that the British Empire will never surrender until the blood of India is drained. Of course, this only refers to the part that belongs to the United Kingdom, as well as the part that involves other countries.

The European colonial community is too hurtful to the feelings of other regions and nations. In fact, this generalization is wrong.

It just so happened that the country the British Empire wanted to contact happened to be a colonial country. In a very coincidental situation, everyone has common interests, so they sat down quietly and talked about how to restore the legal system and order in Europe.

The basis of the economic revitalization plan is the establishment of what Alan Wilson said, the connection between British India and the British-occupied German area, adopting the dual-track price system, recovering as soon as possible and utilizing the industrial strength of Germany, supplementing the lack of domestic production capacity in the United Kingdom, and using British India. market as a dumping ground for German products.

Of course, in principle, the British Empire sacrificed its own interests to help Germany restore vitality, and it is not too much to absorb some trivial rewards from it. This is very reasonable.

The United States has not been affected by the war, and now has strong funds. The Soviet Union has a vast territory and abundant resources, and has an overwhelming advantage in conventional military and administrative power, so for Western European countries, they can only find advantages from themselves.

From Aaron Wilson, a civil servant who was eager to make progress, to Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges, and finally to Prime Minister Attlee of the British Empire, this European economic revitalization plan, later known as the Attlee Plan, has been around for a long time. Getting closer.

As for the little shrimp at the Potsdam Conference, Alan Wilson, the Liaison Officer for British India in the Ministry of Indian Affairs, conveyed the instructions of the Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges to Sir Barron in New Delhi.

The fall of the Japanese Empire is not far off, although the Soviet Union's wars in the Far East have basically nothing to do with the British Empire. However, according to some information, the Soviet Union has already attacked Hokkaido.

The part related to the British Empire lies in the battlefields of Southeast Asia, according to the division of the Potsdam Conference. With the exception of the Japanese in the Philippines and North Vietnam, all Japanese soldiers in Southeast Asia, known as the Japanese Southern Army, would surrender to the British Empire.

Alan Wilson, who was surrendered, can think of it with his eyes closed. It must be Pamela Mountbatten's father. Nearly 800,000 Japanese troops in the south will mostly fall into the hands of the British Empire, which is about 500,000 to 600,000 people.

In the telegram to New Delhi, it was stated that in view of the destruction of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia and the idea of ​​participating in the post-war reconstruction and redemption, this is not new. There are now 400,000 German soldiers in the UK to repair bridges and make up roads. What the British Empire likes to show is the humane treatment of German soldiers in the British-occupied areas of Germany, not the German prisoners at home, and to show flexibility in morality, not pedantry.

After the paragraph on the detention of Japanese soldiers for reconstruction, Alan Wilson added a count of the Chinese and Malay populations in British Malaya after returning to British Malaya.

Of course, I have not forgotten that, since the Netherlands may not be able to arrive in Jakarta on time, the British army can control the situation in Jakarta first and wait for the Dutch army to arrive before handling it.

After the paragraph on the handling of Japanese prisoners of war, it is the content that belongs to Thailand. People in the United Kingdom may not understand this, but the civil servants in British India are very clear about Thailand's role. To treat Thailand as a defeated country and carry out some appropriate punishment, Sir Barron must be very understanding.

The civil attack and military intimidation of Thailand has started from now on. Thailand has seized the two long-term younger brothers of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, against France. Thailand has always been brooding. In the eyes of many Thais who care about politics, the imperialist countries are precisely Britain and France, and have nothing to do with Japan.

However, the enemy that punishes Thailand is not Japan, but the United States that appears as its current ally. The pro-Japanese government of Luang Phibun fell and was replaced by a civilian government.

All of this has a lot to do with the "Free Thai Movement" launched by the ambassador to the United States. Thailand gave up the northern Malay, Shan State and other places allocated by Japan, and was willing to repay the loss of British and American interests in Thailand during the war.

In addition, Luang Phibeng himself was the tyrant who expelled the VII and manipulated the VIII. The US government stated that this military government could not represent the Thai people, and advocated giving up further liquidation of Thailand. The interest behind this is that further punishing Thailand will only make Britain bigger in Southeast Asia. The United States needs a Thailand that can check and balance the British and French colonial system and has a good impression of itself.

Alan Wilson has made it clear in the telegram that the new Prime Minister Attlee's attitude towards British India is not as tough as that of Prime Minister Churchill. Once he judges that he cannot suppress the wave of resistance in British India, he may give up British India.

Then, the 100,000 civil servants in British India will become unemployed overnight. The United Kingdom cannot accept so many civil servants, so whether it can cede land from Thailand is related to the potential of British Malaya in the future.

The seriousness of the matter is indicated in the telegram, which is related to the reemployment of 100,000 civil servants. I believe that Sir Barron will definitely take it to heart~lightnovelpub.net~ And now that the war is not over, it is in the name of liquidating Japan. A good opportunity.

In fact, in the last few days of the Potsdam Conference, the representatives of various countries had nothing to talk about. Specifically, on the British side, Prime Minister Attlee, who has always wanted to save costs and restore local prosperity, has not met in person in recent days. The matter of dealing with the United States and the Soviet Union was handed over to Churchill, who had no official or semi-official position and only had the name of a consultant.

Prime Minister Attlee himself was discussing the post-war economic recovery plan with Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges. Specifically, the European Colonial Community.

"France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal." Attlee was talking about the surviving colonial empires in Europe, and at the same time, he was very interested in the dual-track price system in which Britain dominated the British occupation of Germany and British India.

"Will this arouse the dissatisfaction of the Germans?" Attlee had some doubts, the face of the world hegemon was still needed.

"The Germans have lost everything, and now they are lucky to be alive. Compared with the prisoner of war camp in the Rhine camp, and the no-man's land in Siberia, what can the Germans be dissatisfied with?" Edward Bridges asked early Prepared, he opened his mouth and said, "It's temporary, it's good for British India, it's good for Germany, and it's also suitable but insignificant for the British Empire."

"Then let's find an opportunity to talk to the French. After the French are settled, other countries have no problem." Prime Minister Attlee nodded, officially approving the economic revitalization plan, "Arrange a time, let's talk together. Oh, how do we get the French on our side?"

"It is possible to support the French to return to Asia, which they would have done in the first place. I believe that the support for the British Empire will not be rejected." Edward Bridges gave a sincere suggestion.
