"Why do you laugh at the Americans? It doesn't seem to be conducive to unity." Lord Markins of Sheffield, who also came to Germany, walked out of the conference room with Alan Wilson after today's meeting, and was quite puzzled by this behavior.

"Did we say it wrong? Isn't that the fact that the US Eighth Army in the Far East is now being defeated by a country with a population of nine million that has only been in existence for two years? It's all out, why don't you let it go?"

Alan Wilson said with a knowing smile on his face, "I personally think that showing some doubts about the United States is beneficial in the negotiation. In fact, the United States is similar to the Soviet Union, and they have just proved their national strength from the world war. , but this is not over yet, these two countries still want to prove that they are unique and the best. This is more obvious in the Soviet Union, and the United States also has this mentality, but it is not as obvious as the Soviet Union. ... Since both the United States and the Soviet Union want to prove that they are the only one leading the world, the right amount of skepticism motivates them to move forward."

"You think this war is the one the United States wants to prove." Makins said with a puzzled face, unable to believe it. "This is too unreasonable. What's the point of proving it?"

"Although America is a descendant of Britain, Americans are not British after all. We fight for profit, and so does America, but the difference is that America always fights for justice. Plus the Soviet Union is there. Look, Markins, the force is mutual."

The Soviet Union is a country that relies on ideological cohesion. Facing such a country, traditional imperialist powers such as Britain and France have no moral advantage at all.

Among the major powers in the world today, only the United States has a good image.

At the same time, in terms of national hardware, only the United States can conduct an all-round confrontation with the Soviet Union. The United States is certainly ready for confrontation at this time, but as the saying that forces are mutual goes.

In this confrontation, the United States will inevitably have to make up for its ideological disadvantage. The United States was originally an ordinary nation-state, but after the Cold War ended, the United States has also become another version of the Soviet Union, which also relies on the political correctness of the banner of freedom to maintain its centripetal force.

Alan Wilson felt that this was a road of no return. Although the United States finally won the Cold War, the price the United States paid exists in every aspect of the entire society. It was good when it came, but it cannot go back.

It is impossible for the United States to become a nation-state again. For the current United States, if the Americans in 1950 could see the United States in the 21st century, they would definitely feel very sad that the United States had become like that.

Anyway, Alan Wilson knew through the memory in his mind that the United States really wanted to prove the strength of the United States in front of other countries. The best way to demonstrate the strength of a nation is war.

The strength of the United States today does have the capital to dare to take risks. The annual wheat output of the United States is one third of that of all countries in Europe and the United States. The annual output is as high as 88 million tons, and the annual industrial and agricultural output value is 150 billion US dollars, and its total amount also accounts for more than half of the total in Europe and the United States.

The United States did not give up even after its defeat in the Korean War, and went to Vietnam to try again to prove that the United States could fight.

The Vietnam War failed again, causing problems throughout the United States, depression spread across the country, doubts about the American Dream, and many Americans believed that the United States would eventually lose to the Soviet Union.

The current problem is that the United States is too strong, and Alan Wilson swears in his heart that if the United States does lose the Vietnam War, the United Kingdom will definitely become the most reliable ally. But it's okay to make Americans suffer a little now.

And this is the American's own initiative choice, others Alan Wilson dare not say, but the five-star general Mak Tianhuang must take the initiative to make this choice.

In Germany, Alan Wilson obtained favorable conditions relative to the British in the process of fighting for the merger of the occupied territories. The Lord of the Seas, Mountbatten, who returned to the homeland, also received news that the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet was discussing joint operations with the US Pacific Fleet.

Since the end of World War II, the Royal Navy has sold many warships in five years, ranging from aircraft carriers and battleships to small destroyers and minesweepers. Now the total tonnage of the Royal Navy is only 2.1 million tons. It is a far cry from the strength of the U.S. Navy, but it is still twice the size of the Soviet Union's French and Italian navies combined.

The difference with the United States is that the United States is not like the United Kingdom because of financial problems, which froze and stopped the original shipbuilding plan. There are also warships built by the United States during the war, unlike the United Kingdom, which is not quickly mothballed or sold.

But even so, the Pacific Fleet is still the main fleet of the Royal Navy, and the Mediterranean Fleet is the configuration of the large fleet. There are also naval forces of the Netherlands, Portugal and France around British Malaya.

Alan Wilson didn't know whether the Emperor Mai had already thought of taking the enemy's back, but he felt that it would not be so early. The most urgent task now should be not to be driven into the sea.

It is serious to manage the Busan defensive circle first. In Alan Wilson in Bonn, there are two main points to fight for the interests of the United Kingdom. In the future, the capital of Germany must be in the British-occupied area. The Ruhr area controlled by the United Kingdom is the most important place in Germany. Can't put the capital in US-controlled Bavaria?

Another point is to take care of the emotions of the French, as well as the feelings of Germany's neighboring countries. Although the relationship between Germany and neighboring countries before the war was not necessarily bad.

But Germany, as a defeated country, was stomped on political correctness. The war has ended for five years, and after five years of political correctness in neighboring countries, even if they had a good impression of Germany before, they have been washed away now.

The so-called neighboring countries, of course, also have the Soviet Union. Alan Wilson knows that angering the Soviet Union is doomed. But it did not prevent him from using the Soviet Union as an example to justify Britain's concerns.

Just like making a fuss about Emperor Mai going to the Fraud Island without saying a word, there is nothing wrong with doing it like this.

"We in London believe that if the United States can quickly reverse the situation and defeat the enemy who invaded South Korea. Only in this way can the Soviet Union be deterred, and the security of Europe is the UK's biggest concern."

"Don't forget that there are still our people in Berlin. If the Soviet Union is angered despite its opposition, will those people become hostages?"

Alan Wilson, with a mentality of taking the overall situation into consideration, said that when the war situation in the Far East is unclear and the free world does not have an advantage, the establishment of a coalition government that excludes the Soviet-occupied areas on the European side regardless of the Soviet Union's opposition is harmful to the current situation.

This is not Alan Wilson's own assertion, the consequences of NATO and the Federal Republic of Germany's absence have already been revealed.

In the current situation that war has broken out in the Far East, the Attlee Cabinet is of course unwilling to add a fire on the European side to attract the Soviet Union's attention back from the Far East.

So Britain's agreement to merge the occupied territories and its willingness to work for it does not mean that it will support the Federal Republic of Germany right away.

Alan Wilson is just relaying the opinion of the current administration to the Americans. The United States led the free world to repel the attempt to invade South Korea, and the United Kingdom will agree to let the Federal Republic of Germany appear. Before that, the occupied territories can be merged and the matter of the coalition government talking.

This is out of the consideration of not intensifying the contradictions in Europe. It is very reasonable. Unless the United States is ready to open a second battlefield in Europe, even Washington cannot put pressure on this matter.

Alan Wilson found out now that NATO and the Federal Republic of Germany were only more than a year late. Catching up with the outbreak of the Korean War, they could give Britain so much room for manoeuvre. Sure enough, the British diplomatic tradition was not wrong. mix.

For this explanation, the representative of the United States also agreed, "Washington also does not want to intensify the situation on the European side at this time, but the transatlantic military alliance needs the support of the United Kingdom. After all, the United States is out of the consideration of maintaining world peace. , willing to help Europe resist the Soviet threat, but without the existence of a military alliance, there is no reason for the United States to station troops in Europe for a long time, and citizens will object."

"In the consideration of the special relationship between the United States and the United States, I will not take these words as a threat." Alan Wilson changed the subject after listening, "This matter still involves France, I believe you also know that France is the A country with an army tradition. Not the UK, so persuading France ~lightnovelpub.net~ is very important for the military alliance."

Of course Germany has more army traditions, but now Germany is a defeated country without even a government. Historically, the Korean War ended when Germany joined NATO.

The United States wants to find a country in Europe that can confront the Soviet Union in the army. At this moment, it can only fight for France, and there is no second choice. This is also the case. At the beginning, NATO's headquarters was not in Brussels, but in Paris, the capital of France. It can be seen how much the United States relies on France.

Later, the NATO headquarters became Brussels. Didn't that make the Americans go out after Charles de Gaulle came to power?

Therefore, when it comes to the establishment of NATO, Alan Wilson's focus is to let the United States try to locate its military bases in Europe in France, as well as the part that should be located in the United Kingdom.

Pamela Mountbatten happened to have contacts in Paris, and Alan Wilson always showed a bad stomach at critical moments. He decisively asked his fiancee to try whether he could let France attract the tentacles reaching Europe.

Anyway, de Gaulle's prestige is so great, the French will invite de Gaulle sooner or later, and then let the Americans get out, so that both Britain and France can avoid being infiltrated by the United States. Everyone has merit, even France.
