Who sent you here? What is your purpose? Where do you stand?

Alan Wilson almost asked the American ambassador three soul-searching questions. His eyes were filled with the cold gaze of your boy who brought the Soviet Red Army here. On the grounds of being an ally, I should talk to Joseph about your reliability and put forward some opinions. After all, in recent years, reports of Soviet spies have been common."

Liward swallowed for no reason. The permanent undersecretary of the British Foreign Office in front of him is a friend of the Republican senator, and the senator's best name is McCarthyism.

"Mr. Wilson, it's extremely important for diplomatic work to learn about the Soviet Union's movements." Liward quickly explained, seeing that the people in front of him and McCarthy looked like each other, how dare he not make excuses, this is a big deal.

"That's right." Alan Wilson said in a noncommittal manner, "Of course, the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States requires the two countries to maintain it carefully, no matter in terms of the overall situation or the details. It is not Under such a severe situation, there is a gap between the UK and its allies, and the UK will try its best to make efforts in the diplomatic field, and I hope France will stop here."

Alan Wilson still expressed that the United Kingdom is willing to think from the standpoint of the United States. This is of course false. He started from the position of strength and stung the French. How could it be the other way around now.

After negotiating with the American ambassador, Alan Wilson left, and will accompany Great Britain Treasure to see the children later. There is still tomorrow, and Ms. Hepburn needs his comfort.

In the cabinet meeting room at No. 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Attlee is holding a cabinet meeting, discussing several management plans for the British Oceania Territory sent by the cabinet secretary, Sir Norman Brooke.

After Alan Wilson returned to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his eyes should not be limited to the perspective of the Malayan colony, but to take an overview of the overall situation and calculate how much heritage the British Empire still has value, which can be preserved or realized. What should be fought for, what should be sold should be sold at a good price.

The non-nuclear version of the new British heavy aircraft carrier is progressing very quickly, reflecting the strength of the old British shipbuilding power.

It has been discussed by the cabinet as the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier, and this class of heavy-duty aircraft carrier has an order from Australia, which is the second ship of this class of heavy-duty aircraft carrier.

Australia's and even the entire South Pacific's problems have fallen into the sight of him, the permanent deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone that Iceland has won has been recognized by the world, the value of these small South Pacific colonies that are not so difficult to control will naturally rise.

The British colonies in the South Pacific, except for one of them, which is quite special, is Vanuatu, which is jointly administered by Britain and France. Colonies jointly operated by Britain and France are very rare, and there is such a piece in Oceania.

In addition to this one, there are Solomon Islands with a land area of ​​28,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of 1.6 million square kilometers; Tuvalu with an exclusive economic zone of 750,000 square kilometers; and a land area of ​​18,000 square kilometers. Fiji has an exclusive economic zone of 1,300,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of 1.3 million square kilometers.

Kiribati has an exclusive economic zone of 3.6 million square kilometers, Tonga has an exclusive economic zone of 700,000 square kilometers, and the Cook Islands has an exclusive economic zone of 2 million square kilometers.

According to the division of exclusive economic zones, the above-mentioned Oceania colonies currently controlled by the British have a land area of ​​about 50,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of about 10 million square kilometers.

The combined area of ​​this ocean is the same as that of France, the second largest territorial water in the world in later generations.

And from a military point of view, these British colonies are all in the east of Australia. If Britain is in the hands, what happens to Australia, and it will not turn against the United Kingdom.

The Oceanian colony with a combined area of ​​50,000 square kilometers is not small, but the population is not large. It is not difficult for Britain to control it, especially now.

There is also a reason mentioned in the document, which can achieve the best of both worlds, which not only eases the financial burden, but also increases the British military power, that is, disarmament.

In terms of the source of troops in the UK, the UK currently maintains a scale of 800,000, which is indeed quite difficult for the current population base of the UK.

Disarmament is a matter of time. Even if the British economy recovers well after the war, it will not be able to maintain the current size of the army. Britain has always had a tradition of employing foreigners. Not only France has the Foreign Legion, but Britain also has it, most of which come from Nepal.

But Nepal is now independent and using Nepalese is not as convenient as it used to be. Malaya, although they have built up two heavy decorations, are currently limited to defending against the Indonesian threat. It is also necessary to find a source of troops that can share the pressure of the British army.

Alan Wilson found it, on these humble islands. These small islands in the South Pacific are all Austronesian languages, and they are the descendants of people who were driven to the north ten thousand years ago. To be honest, they are the descendants of East Asians who were driven out by the ancestors of the Han nationality.

Austronesians are widely distributed in Southeast Asia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. But the Austronesians in Southeast Asia and the Austronesians in the Pacific are different, just like black Africa is a concept, but West Africa and East Africa have no similarities except for their dark skin.

The Austronesian people in Southeast Asia are short in stature and poor in physical fitness. The ethnic groups have island characteristics. The Austronesian languages ​​that go farther away are not weak chickens, such as the Maori in New Zealand.

The Austronesians in the South Pacific and their Southeast Asian relatives are almost two extremes. The later Dashi Johnson is the descendant of the local Samoans. The Austronesians on the Oceania islands are strong and tall.

In this report, the proposal to recruit troops from the local area was mentioned to replace some of the functions of the overseas British army.

In this way, the cost savings can make the Ministry of Finance happy, and the cost savings can also make the Ministry of Defense happy, allowing defense research to receive greater financial support, and the Colonial Department is also happy.

The financial status of the British colonies in Oceania is actually not bad, not because the local economy is so good, but because when Alan Wilson was the High Commissioner of Malaya, he raised funds through the sale of islands, which is still going on now, such as which comprador If you want to experience the life of an island owner, you can propose a purchase to the colonial government.

The Oceania colonies sold islands mainly to wealthy Australian businessmen, and the income from the sale of islands was used to maintain the colony's finances, which was also a kind of real estate prosperity in a sense.

This comprehensive plan that took care of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Colonies was the subject of discussion at this cabinet meeting. Alan Wilson was impeccable in writing the report.

When a cabinet secretary explained to the cabinet ministers, it was even more powerful. Simply put, it increased the value of the colony, maintained the original defense force, but reduced financial expenditure.

At the same time, it can also enhance the influence of the British Empire on Australia. The only omission is whether Australia will agree. Another purpose of Pamela Mountbatten going to Australia to give birth is this.

Alan Wilson is the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Regardless of other people's ideas, he believes that the second permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually his wife, Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, especially on the issue of Oceania.

How to get Australia to support the UK and jointly deal with this issue involves another country, the Netherlands. Papua New Guinea is now divided into two parts, the west controlled by the Netherlands and the east controlled by Australia.

The entire island of Papua New Guinea has a large area, and its population is not large in Southeast Asia, but the population of Australia is too small, and it seems that Papua New Guinea has a large population.

What if the Netherlands makes the part it controls independent in the future? If so, Australia's controlled east may also become independent, which is a point of interest when controlled, but may be a threat when it is lost.

"Now that everyone has come up with a consensus, the British Oceania Territory's proposal has been passed~lightnovelpub.net~ Prime Minister Attlee scratched his smooth scalp and nodded, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle this matter, no problem . "

"No problem." Harold Wilson nodded and agreed, "Alan was the former High Commissioner of Malaya. He is very familiar with Asian affairs and is also a good candidate for handling it."

Before the Foreign Secretary informed, Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke had first informed the result, "It's all in your thinking, right? You have served in Asia, and this is your job."

"Sir Norman, my little cleverness is completely different from yours." Alan Wilson replied flatteringly, "Now we will see if we can persuade Australia to separate New Britain from New Guinea."

"I remember your wife has gone to Australia. There won't be any special missions, right?" Norman Brook asked from a third-party perspective with a flat face.

"We can't deny that there are accidents that affect the overall situation in terms of details. The world is so big, and anything can happen." Alan Wilson admitted sideways that his wife's going to Australia is not entirely waiting to give birth, and the wife of a patriot is also a patriot , sometimes need to accept patriotic missions.

If this matter is done properly, the UK's future territorial waters will have an additional area of ​​10 million square kilometers. The national power of the United Kingdom may not be able to suppress the turbulent mainland, but how many islands can it suppress? It is still possible to give it a try.

"To divide New Britain?" Australian Governor Slim couldn't help but said after listening to the old boss's daughter, "Is there always such an idea? Let me try."

"In case New Guinea becomes independent in the future, New Britain Island can be used as a frontier, which is also good for Australia's national defense." Pamela Mountbatten said shyly, "Please trouble the Governor."
