British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 568: proud America

Regarding maintaining the traditional influence of the British Empire in Asia, Alan Wilson said that London hopes that Australia can take the initiative, and London is also happy to see the leadership shown by Australia.

Menzies said that his own government also wanted to do this, and now that he has the help of the United Kingdom, he is even more confident. He knew in his heart that the interests of the United Kingdom and the United States were not exactly the same, but national security was the greatest national interest. The United Kingdom, Portugal and the Netherlands wanted to keep their colonies and protect Australia.

In this case, Australia would of course choose to follow the UK, rather than the seemingly more promising US.

"In many areas, Chifley and I have opposite views, but there is one thing we have in common." Menzies said sincerely, "that is, we both believe that the traditional relationship between Australia and the United Kingdom is invaluable. , Australia, whether it is the Liberal Party or the Labor Party, respects this relationship very much. It will not change because of the early changes of government, and the Liberal Party even cherishes this relationship more than the Labor Party."

"Traditional relationships will also have new developments, just like Canberra, which will definitely get better and better." Alan Wilson used Canberra, the capital of Australia, as an example.

The current Canberra is actually inferior to the traditional Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney. What Menzies is currently focusing on is the construction of Canberra.

A significant portion of Australians in this age consider themselves British, and this includes Canada and New Zealand. In fact Australia and Canada still have some power in London.

The power to make and amend the constitution is in London, and Alan Wilson remembers that when Australia and Canada took them back, it happened to be the time of Margaret Thatcher.

Let Alan Wilson evaluate these Conservative Prime Ministers. The so-called major crime of the Labour Party is to give welfare, but the Conservative Party continues to issue it as it comes to power, but what the previous Conservative governments have done, the Labour Party has not done it.

The Labour Party has long been described as a Soviet spy by these American spies from the Conservative Party, but the Conservative Party cabinet does not say that every term can make a big basket that will cause heavy damage to the United Kingdom, but almost two Conservative Party governments can make the British national capital once. Shaky event.

Alan Wilson even believes that the disregard for the existence of the Commonwealth and the reckless behavior of cashing out during the reign of Margaret Thatcher was the reason why Queen Elizabeth was disgusted with her.

In Mrs Thatcher's eyes, the Commonwealth is nothing more than an inefficient, money-consuming, and scattered organization, which merely embodies a ridiculous imperial complex, and Mrs Thatcher will never change Britain's views because of the Commonwealth. policy, and when necessary, she did not hesitate to fight against the entire Commonwealth.

"Parties in London sometimes only care about their own interests. After all, Australians don't have the right to vote." Alan Wilson said with emotion, "Actually, Whitehall doesn't like this style, but we are not the ruling party. , even if you don't like it, you can only execute it."

"Oh, Alan, your fiancee has apologized for World War II many times." Menzies heard Alan Wilson's overtone and said, "It was indeed an unpleasant experience, and we all hope that he will not do it again. reappeared."

"I believe Prime Minister Attlee will not be the same as Mr. Churchill." Alan Wilson replied reservedly.

With Labour prevailing, Britain may slowly decline, but if he believes in maintaining Britain's Conservative Party in power, Alan Wilson has to prevent the British Empire from performing a fancy free fall.

Now he is working bit by bit to get Britain out of the free fall.

Ask yourself, is there a commissioner in the major British colonies like him who is almost always working? Not at all, Alan Wilson himself believes that if Whitehall has an example to set, there is no second person other than himself.

After a pleasant negotiation with Australian Prime Minister Menzies, Alan Wilson sent electricity to London, expressing the idea of ​​maintaining and consolidating British influence in Asia, which received a warm response from Australia. Believe that implementation is absolutely no problem!

In the telegram, Alan Wilson also reported that Australia wanted a commission in British Malaya, and whether the commission in London agreed.

Soon Alan Wilson received a call back and asked him for the opinion of the British Malayan Commissioner. For this reason, Alan Wilson said that the Commissioner's Office could be set up in Singapore or Penang, both of which belonged to the original Straits Settlements.

Regarding economic and development support for Asia, Alan Wilson was instructed that it would be best to coincide with the imperial preferential system.

Alan Wilson understood in seconds, and began to negotiate with Australia to help Southeast Asia achieve political stability through economic growth, thereby maintaining the security of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding areas of the Pacific Ocean.

Australia is sparsely populated, with no shortage of capital and technology, but limited resource development. However, the population of Southeast Asia is quite large, and the market potential is huge. Australia, through its assistance to Southeast Asia, not only opens up the local market, but also promotes its own energy exploitation and industrial upgrading by utilizing the abundant local labor resources.

You must know that even British Malaya has a population of 10 million, and Australia has a population of just over 9 million. What's more, it can radiate to the surrounding area through the important throat position of British Malaya.

Alan Wilson also answered some questions about Australia, such as how Australia believes that a hostile country like Indonesia can occupy the market.

"The planned economy of the Soviet Union can't solve all problems, let alone Indonesia. From the perspective of market laws, high-quality and cheap products are far from problems that can be solved by tariffs." Alan Wilson thought to the people in Australia Don't want to say, "Once this happens, it will only bring about rampant smuggling."

"Indonesia is an island country, and the cost of preventing smuggling is already huge. I don't see any good way."

Indonesia is also a top concern for Australians as it relates to national security. Alan Wilson, of course, has taken the initiative to express his concern about this issue, and has been trying to overthrow the Sukarno regime. But the time is not yet ripe.

The operation led by the United States in history can be said to be a great success. Alan Wilson is willing to share the worries of the United States, but for the interests of the British Empire, failure is success.

Of course, this kind of thinking, simple Australians do not need to know that although the US action to kill the Indonesian Communist Party was successful, it did not change Australia's situation. It’s just another face. After all, Java Island has a population of 100 million compared to Australia’s large area and sparsely populated resources. It will not exist because of Sukarno’s downfall.

In the end, both parties agreed that the agreement would be officially signed in Kuala Lumpur after the respective governments approved and reviewed it.

Australia has promised to export iron ore soon to Europe and British Malaya, which will be exempt from the export ban. This marks that the steel industry in British Malaya will usher in a positive.

After all, there is the support of the world's mines, which is a huge boost to the steel industry planned by Alan Wilson. British Malaya does not have a large amount of iron ore, so it is impossible to transport 30% of the iron ore from the British mainland, right?

"On this point alone, it has a ten-year advantage over Japan." Alan Wilson sighed while pinching his waist. This is the essence of the so-called old-fashioned imperialism. Although it cannot completely replace the role of money, it is indeed possible to spend less money. of.

Japan lacks everything, and naturally lacks iron ore, but Australia has it. Japan can only slowly save money from the textile industry, and only when it has a certain amount of funds can it intervene in the steel industry. There is no shortcut to this process.

However, because of the relationship between Britain and Australia, British Malaya can omit this step and get the support of Australia to develop the steel industry, which is incomparable.

Australia is even willing to invest 10 million pounds to help the development of the steel industry in British Malaya. Alan Wilson also made a guarantee on this point and was willing to communicate with his fiancee.

Alan Wilson, who had achieved his goal, was released directly back to Kuala Lumpur to prepare for the arrival of the Foreign Secretary in Kuala Lumpur. London, on the other hand, is connecting with its former colonies in Asia and working together.

While the United Kingdom was busy with its own affairs, the smug Emperor Mak started his planned amphibious landing under the guarantee of the U.S. Seventh Fleet and the British Pacific Fleet.

The vanguard of the Tenth U.S. Army landed at Green Beach, north of Wolmido Island~lightnovelpub.net~ The landing force consisted of nine M26 Pershing tanks from the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment and 1st Tank Battalion, one of which was equipped with The flamethrowers and two others were fitted with bulldozer blades, and the landing force landed using tank landing ships designed and built during World War II, and the entire island was occupied before sunrise.

Walker, the commander of the Eighth Army who was guarding in Busan, heard the news, and at the same time, he led his army out to counterattack the enemy outside the defense circle of Busan.

Alan Wilson, who was preparing for the Kuala Lumpur meeting, learned the news of the successful landing in Incheon the next day. After all, Emperor Mai is a very high-profile person, boasting that his strength is countless times stronger than his own.

And unlike history, this time the United Kingdom also expressed doubts about the combat effectiveness of the United States. Naturally, the Americans could not let go of the fact that this amphibious landing battle was a complete victory, which proves that the United States is invincible in the world. Let the British see what it is. Call it leading the world.

The Korean War this time, if compared with the naval and air force, the United Kingdom has dealt with more than in history. But resolutely not to mobilize the ground troops, or let the Americans remember.

"Even if the British want to share the glory of victory, we don't need it anymore." The report of the New York Times has a sense of sight that you looked down on me yesterday, and you can't stand high today.
