At this time, Attlee, with a face of approval, said in his heart that I admire you for being similar to Churchill. You have to suffer the same death to save face. The former Churchill also felt that the British Empire was still at its peak, and it was spent without restraint. The last pound.

Of course, history will not simply repeat itself, but if the Americans have to prove that the U.S. military is invincible, the British did not participate in the war anyway. As the British Prime Minister, he has no reason to object.

"Of course, the Churchill MP still agrees that the United States is willing to shoulder greater international responsibilities around the world. It's just the European direction. Let me put it bluntly, if the United Kingdom stands alone against the Soviet Union, it is beyond the national strength of the United Kingdom at this stage. The United Kingdom wants it very much. Stabilize the situation in Europe, but also without the help of the United States.”

Knowing that he had not gotten off the plane, Truman had already passed a special expenditure of 20 billion US dollars to support this so-called police operation. On the surface, Attlee expressed envy, but in fact he was indeed envious.

Several years of world wars have fattened this American country across the Atlantic Ocean. Attlee knew in his heart that the current British army is still relying on the accumulation of previous wars. Once this accumulation is used up, it will be difficult for the United Kingdom to guarantee the current scale. military.

Truman also made sure that Attlee, as well as the current concerns of European nations, made exact reassurances. The use of nuclear weapons is nothing but a misunderstanding, and the United States will not use nuclear weapons.

But Attlee mentioned other issues, such as the legal seat of a major country in the United Nations, and the fact that a major country and the Soviet Union were not purely dependent, and Truman ignored them all.

At present, in the United States, the Republican Party is talking nonsense, and the founder of the Internet celebrity, Emperor Mak, is constantly talking. The situation of President Truman is not very good, and the approval rate has been declining all the way. The situation forced him to show the determination to face the difficulties head on, not to show even the slightest concession.

Apart from the promise not to use nuclear weapons, Attlee got nothing, which also reflects the current national power comparison between the United States and the United Kingdom. The two countries are still equal allies in name, but the fact that there are strong and weak countries between them is an indisputable fact.

At present, asking the United States not to use nuclear weapons is itself the biggest purpose of Attlee's visit. As for other things, he has already stated the British proposition, and Truman can't do anything if he doesn't listen.

In Brussels, Belgium, opposite Alan Wilson, who was holding bottled water, was Lord Markins of Sheffield who was also drinking afternoon tea. The meeting on economic and trade cooperation was of course a part of the meeting, even the main part.

After all, the Brussels Treaty Organization is not all colonial countries. Countries like Sweden have a neutral policy and are not involved in common defense. People just come here to talk business.

The current situation in Northern Europe is similar to history. Sweden is armed and neutral, Finland maintains its sovereign independence and does not align itself with the West, Norway, Denmark and Iceland promise not to pose a threat to the security of the Soviet Union. The balance of Northern Europe is conducive to maintaining regional stability and peace.

The Nordic balance strategy is completely different from the scene in which the whole of Europe was biting around Russia after the Cold War. In the final analysis, the Soviet Union was too strong.

The current Sweden is not weak. With the end of World War II, Canada began to reduce its military power. After all, it is not wise to rely on the United States to develop military power, while Sweden is due to the hostility of the two camps, and its military expenditure is increasing year by year.

At present, the Swedish Air Force is the fourth largest air force in the world. After the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, the number of aircraft has surpassed that of France, ranking fourth in the world. Front-line fighters remained above a thousand.

Why does Alan Wilson know about this, because although Sweden is a neutral country on the surface, it shares its defense plan with the United Kingdom in private, and Sweden is generally handed over to Denmark and Norway for the part of the non-armed neutrality. Friendship with the Soviet Union was handed over to Finland.

In terms of the Nordic balance, Sweden is the central axis, and it is more inclined to Western Europe. There is currently no NATO, so the military technology required for Sweden's armed neutrality is mainly provided by the United Kingdom.

In terms of the domestic atmosphere in Sweden alone, Britain is more influential than both the United States and the Soviet Union. Sweden joined the Marshall Plan with Norway and Denmark, but refused to mention military cooperation.

At this time, the United Kingdom came up with an idea: since the three Nordic countries will never join the military bloc with the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, then simply let the three of them form a group on their own. This idea is supported by the British Foreign Office and the military, and believes that this defense alliance is in Sweden. Under the leadership of Denmark, a small country like Denmark could say no to the Soviet Union. And no one in the Western camp is the enemy of the three Nordic countries, so if this defense alliance can really succeed, it will not be hostile to itself.

Therefore, the UK should work hard to bring together the defense cooperation of the three Nordic countries. However, the military proposed that this defense alliance must receive assistance from the West, otherwise it will not be able to effectively resist the Soviet Union.

The current win over Northern Europe is here. The UK and Sweden maintain defense cooperation, especially in the field of navy and air force.

Markins is the British representative in charge of the European Economic Conference. During the busy working hours, he sits with Alan Wilson.

Seeing Alan Wilson holding a glass of bottled water, Markins couldn't help joking, "Alan, how come you've been in Asia for so long that you don't even have the habit of drinking afternoon tea?"

I didn't have it either! Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, looked at the thinning hair of Lord Sheffield, and said calmly, "I think the Chinese like to drink boiled water, and I have tried it. After all, it is not a bad thing to do as the locals do."

Most men in the UK suffer from hair loss, and it's not British genes to like hair loss.

In fact, foreigners living in the UK will soon join the ranks of hair loss. The water quality in the UK is very calcium-rich!

For the sake of his own personal image, Alan Wilson can't appear in front of Vivian, Heidi, Ingrid and a series of women with a clean forehead. So he doesn't drink the pure natural groundwater in England at all.

The two chatted with each other, and Markins said that with the Marshall Plan in effect, British industrial products are under more and more competitive pressure, and exports are not as easy as in previous years.

"This is also Whitehall's recognition of the original intention of the Malaya development plan. European countries are in ruins, the cost is lower than ours, and our labor cost is very high in Europe. I believe the most direct competition is the textile industry. Alan Wilson said this expressed optimism, "Once the situation on the Malaya side improves, European countries will find that it is useless for the UK to press costs to grab the market."

"I hope so!" Makins nodded. "The current situation, the Netherlands and Belgium are recovering very quickly, Germany is also following, and France is a step slower."

"The French are busy fighting, and many military supplies are provided by Malaya." Alan Wilson said directly, "I know about this matter, but at my meeting, I will discuss this issue with the French. However, I am sure the French will not listen to me."

"You want to fight the French? It's a pity you don't have the power to command the Malayan army." Markins smiled slightly, taking Alan Wilson's words as a joke.

"If the French are willing to ask for help, I can help the French communicate with General Bilton and send a battleship to blow up Saigon to rubble, depending on whether the French are willing."

After taking a sip of the bottled water with him, Alan Wilson said, "But it's better if the French are retreating, do this by yourself, and bury explosives to destroy Saigon City. Maybe it can make the Vietnamese sober."

"Alan, if the British Empire had to evacuate from Malaya, what would you do?" Markins asked with his mouth open.

"I have another way, if it really doesn't work in the end, of course I will." Alan Wilson chuckled.

On the last day of 1950, Alan Wilson, who had been waiting for a long time, finally came to the conference to discuss colonial affairs. , the suzerain state involved should take greater responsibility.

This kind of situation is very suitable for my British. I usually do bad things first, and then stop doing bad things first. For example, the recent uproar about the surrender of black American troops into an established system has basically nothing to do with Britain.

Although early triangular trade was associated with Britain, Britain was also the first country to ban triangular trade. When Britain banned triangular trade, it was nearly 50 years before the Civil War. After that, the black problem in the United States had nothing to do with Britain. It was the Americans themselves who did it under moral pressure.

At the beginning of the meeting, Alan Wilson expounded on the British colonial policy, and said that at the appropriate time, the premise of avoiding a repeat of the tragic partition of India and Pakistan would allow the colonies to become independent countries.

"Of course the UK will remember its responsibility to the friendly countries present. So I also want to hear everyone's thoughts." Alan Wilson began with a very moral benchmark ~lightnovelpub.net~ officially started this colony Meeting.

Its main purpose is to gradually integrate African colonies into modern society over the next fifty years.

In principle, the United Kingdom would like to see the colonies become independent immediately, but the objective fact is that they cannot ignore the backward living environment of the current colonies, especially the African colonies. At this stage, Africans cannot manage themselves by themselves, so the suzerain country present must shoulder the moral responsibility. responsibility to manage them temporarily.

The French first came back to their senses, saying that France, like the United Kingdom, does not like the current situation in principle, but the objective environment has to continue to be responsible to the end, "Those tribes belong to different languages, and they can't even communicate with each other. We If you leave one-sidedly, you may fall into the chaos of war.”

"It must be caught in the midst of war." Alan Wilson corrected without haste, and the representatives of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal also nodded, saying that their own countries were also at a loss for this kind of problem, and could only use time to teach slowly.

"Respected partners, in principle, we all agree that this situation cannot continue. However, the objective facts are in front of us, and we have to shoulder our common obligations." Alan Wilson said sympathetically, "We can't ignore them. ."
