British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 554: Military and Whitehall

"No problem, esteemed boss, it would be better if you didn't mention Andy." Alyssa agreed with a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I originally planned to meet with the Malay leaders more often, talk about the land allocation bill, and solemnly promise that the Chinese will never be replaced. Now the work of appeasement is left to you."

Alan Wilson recalled whether there were any mistakes. It seems that there are no mistakes for the time being. When he thinks about it in London, he will send a telegram. He is sincere in supporting the Chinese, and he is also sincere in taking precautions.

He will never let the dove occupy the magpie's nest in British Malaya. After all, he doesn't owe anyone anything. He has always acted in the interests of the British Empire. If the population of the British mainland exploded, he would still need to borrow money. The power of other races?

Take the matter of cleaning up Japanese prisoners of war, there is no personal emotion at all.

Once it is successful, Alan Wilson will start a big arrest operation to arrest all the criminals involved in this matter. It is possible to release, but the entire Chinese community must be forced to be loyal to the British Empire.

The root cause of this incident is simply too much. He just wants the Chinese to submit their names and do something that the whole world thinks is wrong, forcing the other party to only maintain the British colonial rule.

With the dream of one million Chinese-Americans signing up to save the murderer's life in exchange for supporting British colonial rule. Alan Wilson boarded a special plane back home.

It is a special plane. As a colonizer, he must ensure his own safety. At the call of the British Empire, the hard-working civil servants set foot on the land of London after many stops.

There was no time difference, and we arrived at Whitehall in a daze. At this time, the northern army on the Korean peninsula was in full swing. Fierce discussions are breaking out in the United Nations. The US troops stationed in South Korea have already participated in the war. Of course, the fate of being hanged and beaten has not changed.

The war that broke out in the Far East naturally aroused discussions in the United Kingdom. Although the war wealth had just begun, Whitehall was very busy. Norman Brooke ordered Alan Wilson to return to London because of the previous report.

"It's just like your previous report predicted!" Norman Brook summoned Alan Wilson in his office and went straight to the topic, "Because it involves the relationship with the United States, and the United States has a meaning to organize coalition forces in the name of the United Nations, The cabinet is discussing this, what do you think?"

"This is not my opinion, but depends on the strength of the Soviet Union's support and the scale of the war. If it is only limited to the scope of the peninsula, the United Kingdom does care about its relationship with the United States, and there is no way to refuse it." Alan Wilson When it comes to this, the topic has changed, "But if the scale of the war cannot be controlled, to put it bluntly, the glorious era is back."

"Alan, this is a big deal." Norman Brooke gave Alan Wilson an inexplicable look.

In the second half of 1945, when the European stage had come to an end, what many British people hoped most was that Japan would do what it said, and would fight the United States for two years in a domestic decisive battle, and give Britain two years to breathe. opportunity. It can weaken the United States and the Soviet Union, and let the United Kingdom experience the feeling of watching the fire from the shore before the United States.

But Japan did not live up to its expectations, and the two atomic bombs were satisfied, which greatly disappointed the British Empire.

Norman Brooke, who was already the second-in-command at Whitehall at the time, can of course recall what happened at the time.

But at this moment, it is not suitable to speak like this, relying on Alan Wilson's report before going to Malaya to take office, foreseeing the situation today.

"Once the scale can't be controlled, will it spread for a long time?" Although it is a little inappropriate, the respected cabinet secretary may not have read the American joke in his heart.

"I don't think we should be overly optimistic, but compared to the Allied forces when the Soviet Union was established, the United Kingdom will make money as long as it takes longer than this time." Alan Wilson can't tell through, but he didn't understand the same schadenfreude of his superiors. "If there is a three-year war, we can imagine the scene of the decisive battle in Japan. This is not a bad thing for the British Empire."

"Oh, is there such an optimistic outcome?" Norman Brooke said with a reserved face. "This is really a tragedy."

"Absolute tragedy!" Alan Wilson agreed with a sullen face, "We don't want a war to break out, but this matter of joining the war at the request of the United States? As we all know, the proud Royal Navy of the British Empire is always ready for the sake of Do your part for world peace."

In theory, it is of course best for Britain not to enter the war, but that only exists in theory. Alan Wilson is now discussing how to enter the war wisely on the premise of entering the war. Although the Far East's 250 million pounds is enough to keep London calm, but The US dollar of the Marshall Plan also cannot keep London indifferent, so the matter is very complicated.

The United Kingdom could make a big fight. In order to show its solemnity, it could even follow the example of the imperial Russian expedition to the Japanese combined fleet and unseal the battleships Queen Elizabeth and Warrior. Form a powerful marine strike group and demonstrate the power to maintain world peace.

If the navy is not enough, of course there is the Royal Air Force, the mainstay of the British Empire, which received much attention after the war. As for the army red deer, not to mention.

But if the army must be used, if the United States insists on requiring a certain number of ground troops, the Nepalese mercenaries who followed the British Empire's southern and northern wars are always on standby. I believe they will be dispatched at any time. The most important thing is to save money.

It's not that the UK is prevarication to close allies, the point is that the UK is indeed not known for its ground power. Although if the Soviet Union only had a population of 50 million people like the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom might not be afraid of the Soviet Army, but the Americans did not need to know about it.

From Ismay, Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, Alan Wilson continued to add to his report after receiving news of the recent UN resolution on the absence of the Soviet Union, "There are indications that the Soviet Union chose the Far East as a breakthrough. It's a good thing, but I predict that once the scope of the war expands, in order to prevent European countries from helping the United States, the Soviet Union will definitely increase its ground power in the European direction."

The United Kingdom has just ended the rationing system not long ago, and certainly does not want the scope of the war to expand.

Unlike the rest of East Asia, Britain has little historical connection to the Korean peninsula. Many British soldiers couldn't even find the Korean peninsula on a map. Although just a few years ago, some British soldiers had encountered South Korean soldiers - recalling how they were brutally treated by South Korean guards in a Japanese POW camp.

But even these painful memories can't stop South Korea from seeming extraordinarily distant in the eyes of most Britons.

In the passage concerning if ground troops could not be avoided, Alan Wilson solemnly warned that Britain's position should be to preserve the presence of South Korea, and if the counteroffensive succeeds, it must not step into the land of the North.

The report was completed, Alan Wilson submitted the report, and then left Whitehall to go to the respected Maritime Secretary Mountbatten to catch up, because Pamela Mountbatten went to Paris to paint cakes for the French shareholders, and he could only talk to the respected father-in-law. Talk heart.

In 1945, the British representative who hoped that Japan would live up to its word and decide to fight at home, was constantly persuading the US military to land in Japan to clear Mountbatten all over Japan.

"Oh, will it really make the Americans mess up?" General Mountbatten was obviously more interested in Alan Wilson's words. Although there was no local decisive battle in Japan at the time, his expectations were dashed, but if he can find it back after five years, it will be a good result.

"Respected general, again, it depends on whether the scale of the war can be controlled." Alan Wilson said truthfully, "If it weren't for the huge loss of the Soviet Union's population, I would be the most supportive of Whitehall's immediate formation with the United States. People in military alliances, countries in the Soviet system, are usually stronger than they appear. This is especially true in Asia, where it is quite poor and the Soviet proposition is very attractive.”

The Weng-in-law meeting this time was of course effective, and Mountbatten expressed his willingness to try the restart of the battleships Queen Elizabeth and Warrior, and transfer them to the Far East.

Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude, "In fact, for the common colonies now, battleships are more deterrent than aircraft carriers, especially in Indonesia, which is across the strait."

General Mountbatten, like the general British, did not know what the Korean peninsula was like. As Mountbatten's son-in-law, Alan Wilson was of course obliged to answer, saying that South Korea was a part of Japan, and during World War II~www. lightnovelpub.net~ Koreans joined the army enthusiastically and fought to the end for the Empire of Japan.

As a person who made a will and did not even allow Japanese to attend funerals, the current Fourth Sea Minister, Mountbatten, understood in seconds, his face turned cloudy, and he said meaningfully, "So that's the case, that's really interesting."

"Although we all believe that this war has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, if the United States must ask for it. It is difficult for us to refuse." Alan Wilson looked embarrassed, "We can only think of a way."

"The Royal Navy is of course ready to be dispatched at any time. Let's start preparing now and help the Americans across half the world." General Mountbatten said without thinking, he felt that the Americans should wait a few months.

"After all, we are helping the United States. That war was more of the responsibility of the United States. Now the United States believes that it is invincible. We should not steal the limelight from the Americans. Even if we send ground troops, we should not set foot on the north of the dividing line. On the land. If the scale of the war is under control, let the Americans enjoy the glory of victory for themselves, and it has nothing to do with us anyway.”

Mountbatten agreed with his son-in-law's opinion. After all, he was an expert in Oriental studies. The establishment of this man was still very successful, otherwise he would not have been recalled. Within a day of returning to London, Alan Wilson had the military dignitaries and Whitehall united on the war.
