British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 154: insulting Britain today

It is not because the Belgian and Spanish colonies seem to be relatively safe, and they do not work hard when it comes to issues involving the interests of many countries. When communicating, the French strongly agree with this, especially that Spain should make compensation. .

You must know that the border between France and Spain is still closed, and the whole of Europe seems to have forgotten this country. If it wasn't for the fact that the United Kingdom brought Spain in because of the relationship between the African colonies at this meeting, at least the situation of Spain in a few years. Doomed to be embarrassed.

Regardless of whether it is of a punitive nature, France hopes that Spain can contribute to help the countries present here maintain the stability of the colonies. Didn't Spain do this during World War II, sending troops to help Germany attack the Soviet Union.

Can it be done in Germany, but I can't do it in France? Coincidentally, Alan Wilson also has this idea. It is no problem for Spain to be accepted by European countries again, but it must show sincerity to reflect the value of Spain.

Spain's total force in 1945 was about 450,000. Compared with the main warring countries in World War II, it was naturally not worth mentioning a weak chicken. The Blue Division was also composed of elites drawn from the entire Spanish army. Barely get by.

But this question depends on the angle of view. The Spanish army of more than 400,000 people, together with the few African colonies left after the Spanish-American War, seems too abundant.

The Spanish army is a weak chicken in Europe, but in the face of such a small colony, there is no doubt that it is a natural soldier, and it is almost overflowing, which is not in line with the consideration of maximizing interests.

You must know that the plan that Alan Wilson heard from the Dutch representative George Armand was to send an expeditionary force of 20,000 people to return to the Dutch East Indies. Isn't it a joke that only 18,000 people go there.

I did not really participate in the war, but I have an impression that there is no way to change: the Franco regime was supported by Germany and Italy; the Franco regime pursued a policy very similar to that of Germany and Italy, and the same suppression The people are also very bloody.

At the June meeting, the representative of Mexico proposed that the United Nations should reject the countries that were supported by the Axis powers and become members of the United Nations.

At the Potsdam Conference in July, the Soviet Union made a statement on Spain, and the three countries of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union officially confirmed that they would not support Spain as a member of the United Nations.

This is the real situation in Spain at the moment, although at the Potsdam Conference Britain also expressed its support for the propositions of the United States and the Soviet Union. However, as long as Spain is willing to contribute to a united Europe, it is still possible to return to the united European family.

"Finish Spain first, and then Belgium, and basically you can come up with a unified view on important issues." Nino Bertrand agreed after listening to Alan Wilson's views, "If Spain can be dispatched in good faith to a certain extent With more troops, to make up for the crimes of the war, Paris could consider reopening its borders."

"Actually, France is not lacking in military power. I think the situation in the Dutch East Indies is more dangerous. Maybe the assistance of the French army is needed. The military strength of the Netherlands is really not optimistic." Alan Wilson said hesitantly, " The population of the Netherlands is less than 9 million, and the population of the Dutch East Indies is already close to 100 million. Obviously the Netherlands has a bigger problem! If Spain is willing to make some compensation for its behavior during the war, obviously the Netherlands needs it even more.”

Among the six countries present at the Brussels meeting, the Netherlands has the weakest military, with a population of less than nine million, which is comparable to Belgium's population. But what was Belgium's performance in World War II, and what was the Netherlands' performance? The Dutch steel output is 50,000 tons, and France is robbing the Netherlands for mercenaries at this time. How embarrassed?

Without waiting for Nino Bertrand to refute, Alan Wilson continued, "On the issue of Asian colonies, the colonies of Britain, France and the Netherlands are connected to each other. Once one of them fails, it will inevitably collapse like a domino. If the Netherlands fails , British Malaya will be under pressure, British Malaya will be under pressure, and will not be able to help France stabilize Vietnam. What is needed at this time is the unity of European countries, not only our own land, but not our friendly allies. ."

As soon as Alan Wilson opened his mouth, it was a series of numbers, proving that the Netherlands is now the one that needs help most, not France, which has millions of soldiers in reserve because of the world wars.

He also implied that the French were somewhat selfish when it came to putting pressure on Spain and expecting Spain to compensate with mercenaries.

For this reason, Alan Wilson even brought out the excuse that the United States joined the Vietnam War, that is, if Vietnam does not stop changing its color, the entire Southeast Asia will be dyed red. I hope that France will stop calculating its own petty profits at this time. Consider the big picture.

On the colonial issue, Britain and France must reach a consensus. After reaching this consensus, together with the representatives of the Netherlands and Belgium, the representatives of the four countries came to the door to have a good talk with the Spanish representative, Manuel Martin.

On any issue about colonies, Alan Wilson has a voice at this meeting, because the British Empire, as the largest colonial empire at present, is not a question of where the colonies are, but where they are not.

Similarly, although most of the French colonies are concentrated in North Africa, there are also Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in Southeast Asia. In Syria in the Middle East, the interests of Britain and France overlap.

But on specific issues, it is necessary to communicate with representatives of other countries individually, such as Southeast Asia with the Netherlands, Africa with Belgium and Spain, and Goa and Africa with Portugal.

Spain in 1945 was at an unprecedented stage of isolation. No matter how hard General Franco tried to prove that Spain had nothing to do with Germany and Italy, it had always maintained its neutrality in the world war.

However, not to mention the attitude of the Soviet Union, even the first impression of European countries is that the current Spanish regime is supported by Germany and Italy, which can be proved by the development of the Spanish Civil War.

The current Spanish regime can be regarded as a legacy of Germany and Italy. If it is not for fear of being taken advantage of by the Soviet Union, the current consideration should be for everyone to send troops to overthrow the current Spanish regime.

In the face of such an environment, Alan Wilson and Nino Bertrand came together to express their position on behalf of Britain and France. Naturally, they would not be so polite. It is still the old way, one with a red face and one with a white face. Considering the current French blockade of Spain At the frontier, Nino Bertrand is more suitable to be that villain.

Spain itself was recruited by the British Empire to participate in the Brussels Conference. Alan Wilson was more suitable for the role of the old man. Britain and France cooperated with both soft and hard to force Spain to submit and contribute to the defense of the European colonies.

For Spain at present, it is a very terrifying dark period. It can be said that under the oppression of the international stage, the entire Spanish society is in a very unstable state.

Spain was able to participate in the Brussels meeting this time, and the country is already boiling, and they have high hopes for this meeting. But in front of Manuel Martin, Nino Bertrand poured a pot of cold water first, saying arrogantly that this is the price Spain must pay.

He often talked about the current real situation in Spain, with threats and intimidation, Nino Bertrand said that if the Soviet Union can persuade the United States to change the Spanish regime, France is happy to see it.

Alan Wilson remained silent, feeling that the matter was almost over before he said, "Mr. Manuel, in fact, not everyone agrees with Spain's participation in this meeting. Our countries are all enemies of Germany in the war."

"Mr. Allen, Spain has always maintained a friendly neutrality. The Germans once persuaded Spain to attack Gibraltar." Manuel Martin quickly explained, "We didn't do that either."

"Neutrality is also a fact, but who is friendly to who this friendliness is, it does not need a pale explanation now, all countries are aware of it, even the Mexicans are not on your side, and Spain was once the suzerain of Mexico. Alan Wilson said indifferently, "The British Empire is in the consideration of European unity. I hope that Spain will contribute to the post-war reconstruction and regain the understanding of European friendly countries, but this also requires Spain to show some performance." Well, otherwise, the British Empire has no reason to be this villain."

Alan Wilson and Nino Bertrand ~lightnovelpub.net~ represent the two most powerful colonial empires at the same time.

French Foreign Minister Georges Pidoux and Shi Shiran walked into the room where Charles de Gaulle was resting. The door was opened, and Charles de Gaulle put down the document in his hand and asked, "George, I think very much about this outline of France. Agreed. For the foreseeable future, Germany will definitely gravitate towards the Anglo-American side. If this becomes the case, France will feel unprecedented isolation.”

"It's like Spain now?" George Pidoul asked in disapproval, and then indicated that Britain and France were now putting pressure on Spain, and then said, "So far, the British have shown a rare unity, This time it was really good faith to bring about the Brussels meeting."

"If it were that arrogant Churchill, this meeting would never have happened. Even with Attlee now, we can't be too wishful thinking."

De Gaulle stood up and poured a glass of water, moistening his thirsty throat, and finally said, "Whether the British are sincere or not, we still have to be careful. Past history has proved that the British played a role in hating each other in Europe. No."

"I also hope that Britain will at least be human this time," George Pidour agrees. "Maybe a miracle will happen."
