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

Alan Wilson almost asked the U.S. ambassador three questions about his soul, and his eyes were the cold eyes of your kid who led the Soviet Red Army here, "The demagogic propaganda newspapers seem to be favored by Mr. On the grounds of an ally, I should talk to Joseph about the reliability of your Excellency and make some comments. After all, reports of Soviet spies have been common in recent years."

Liward swallowed a mouthful of spit for no reason. The Permanent Undersecretary of the British Foreign Office in front of him is a friend of the Republican Senator, and this Senator is best known for his McCarthyism.

"Mr. Wilson, just to understand the movements of the Soviet Union, which is extremely important to diplomatic work." Liward explained quickly, seeing the person in front of him and McCarthy's stinky look, how dare he not make an excuse, this is a big deal.

"Really." Alan Wilson said with a noncommittal face and said calmly, "Of course, the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States needs to be maintained by the two countries, both in terms of the overall situation and the details. In such a severe situation, the United Kingdom will try its best to make efforts in the diplomatic field, and hope that France will stop here."

Alan Wilson still expressed that the United Kingdom is willing to stand in the position of the United States to think about issues. This is of course false. He started from the position of strength and stinged the French. How can it be reversed now.

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

In the Cabinet Room at No. 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Attlee is holding a cabinet meeting to discuss several management proposals 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, he could not focus on the perspective of the Malayan colony. Instead, he had to take a look at the overall situation and figure out how much of the British Empire's heritage was valuable and could 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 rapidly, reflecting the strength of the old British shipbuilding power.

The name of the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier has been discussed by the Cabinet, and this class of heavy aircraft carriers has an order from Australia, the second of this class of heavy aircraft carriers.

The problems of Australia and the entire South Pacific have fallen into the line of sight of his Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone that Iceland has fought for has been recognized by the world, these South Pacific Oceans are small in size and do not have such a difficult colonial value to control, so the tide will naturally rise.

The British colonies in the South Pacific, except for one of the more special ones, are Vanuatu, which is jointly administered by Britain and France. Anglo-French co-run colonies are very rare, and there is such a piece in Oceania.

In addition to this area, there are the Solomon Islands with a land area of ​​28,000 square kilometers, 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 a thousand 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 the exclusive economic zone, the Oceania colonies currently controlled by the United Kingdom have a land area of ​​about 50,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of about 10 million square kilometers.

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

And militarily, these British colonies are all in the east of Australia. If Britain holds it in its hands, Australia will not turn against the United Kingdom.

The Oceania colony with a combined total of 50,000 square kilometers is not small, but the population is not large. It is not difficult for the United Kingdom to control it, especially now.

The document also mentions a reason to achieve the best of both worlds, easing the financial burden while increasing the British military's strength, namely disarmament.

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

Disarmament is a matter of time, and even if the British economy recovers well after the war, it will not be able to maintain the current size of the military. The United Kingdom has always had a tradition of hiring foreigners. Not only France has the Foreign Legion, but also the United Kingdom, most of which are from Nepal.

But Nepal is now independent and using Nepalis is not as convenient as it used to be. Although Malaya has built up two heavy decorations, it is currently limited to defending against Indonesian threats. 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 of the Austronesian language family. They are descendants of East Asians who were driven out of the East Asians by the ancestors of the Han nationality.

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

The Austronesian speakers of Southeast Asia are of short stature and poor physical fitness. The ethnic group has island characteristics. The Austronesian language groups that have run further afield are not like the weak chickens, such as the Maori people of New Zealand.

The Austronesian language family in the South Pacific and their Southeast Asian relatives are almost two extremes. The later generations, Dushi Johnson, are the descendants of the local Samoans, and the Austronesians on the Oceania islands are strong and tall.

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

The cost savings that would make the Treasury Department happy, the cost savings would also make the Defense Department happy, the defense research would be better funded, and the Colonial Department would be happy.

The British colonies in Oceania are actually in a good financial situation, not because the local economy is good, but because when Alan Wilson was the High Commissioner of Malaya, he raised funds by selling the islands, and it is still in progress, such as which comprador If you want to experience the life of an island owner, you can ask the colonial government to buy it.

The Oceania colonies sold their islands mainly to wealthy Australian businessmen. They used the income from selling the islands to maintain the colony's finances. In a sense, it was also a kind of real estate development.

This comprehensive plan, which took care of the Treasury, Defense and Colonial Departments, was what was discussed in this cabinet meeting, and Alan Wilson was impeccable when it came to writing the report.

When a cabinet secretary explained to the cabinet ministers, it was even more powerful. In short, it increased the value of the colony, maintained the original national 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. And Pamela Mountbatten went to Australia to give birth to another purpose, which is this.

Alan Wilson is the permanent secretary of the Foreign Office and regardless of what other people think, he believes that the second permanent secretary of the Foreign Office 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. The current island of Papua New Guinea is divided into two parts, the western part controlled by the Netherlands and the eastern part controlled by Australia.

The entire island of Papua New Guinea is very large, and the population is not much in Southeast Asia, but the population of Australia is too small, it seems that the population of Papua New Guinea is quite large.

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

"Since everyone has come up with a consensus, then the proposal of the British Oceania Territory has been approved~lightnovelpub.net~ Prime Minister Attlee scratched his smooth scalp and nodded, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle this matter, no problem, right? . "

"No problem." Harold Wilson nodded in agreement, "Alan was the former high commissioner of Malaya, and he is very familiar with Asian affairs, and he is also a good candidate to handle it."

Before the Foreign Secretary told it, Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke had first informed the result, "It's all in your thinking, isn't it? You've worked in Asia, it's your duty."

"Sir Norman, my little cleverness is completely different from yours." Alan Wilson replied complimentingly, "Now we will see if we can convince Australia to divide the island of New Britain into New Guinea."

"I remember that your wife went to Australia. She won't have any special assignments, right?" Norman Brooke said with a flat face, speaking from a third-party perspective.

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

If this is done properly, the UK's future territorial waters will be expanded by 10 million square kilometers. Britain's national strength may not be able to suppress the turbulent continent, but how many archipelagos should it be suppressed? You can still try it.

"Want to divide the island of New Britain?" Australian Governor Slim couldn't help but said after listening to the daughter of his old boss. "There is always such an idea? Let me try."

"In the event that New Guinea becomes independent in the future, the island of New Britain can be used as a frontier, which is also good for Australia's national defense." Pamela Mountbatten said embarrassedly, "I'll trouble Uncle Governor."
