Chapter 87 Great Britain Has Its Own National Conditions Here
Talking to yourself in a meeting is not completely useless, it is a necessary trial process. At present, the United States is focusing on the issue of fighting against Japan, while the Soviet Union is talking about European issues, which naturally includes the just-emerged issue of refugees crossing the border.
It may be the internal changes in the United States caused by the death of President Roosevelt. Anyway, in this meeting, the United States put too much emphasis on the issue of fighting against Japan, which has already given the Soviet Union an excuse.
As for the position of the British Empire! To be honest, Alan Wilson still has a lot of positions, but the theme expressed in any single position is not clear. The United Kingdom believes that many issues are very important, but some issues are emphasized by the United States, and some issues are emphasized by the Soviet Union.
Holding a glass of wine, Alan Wilson said while thinking, "Actually, with the capabilities of the United States, it is completely possible to fight independently. There is no one who is immortal in a war. It is really not easy to deceive the Soviet Union to sacrifice."
Although the Japanese army's dying counterattack in the Battle of Okinawa shocked the US military. But according to Allen Wilson, is the Japanese's will to resist really strong? In fact, it is not certain.
Maybe when the U.S. military really invades the Japanese mainland, it will find that the resistance of the Japanese army is not as strong as in Okinawa. It is not necessarily true to calculate the cost of attacking Japan based on the losses in the Battle of Okinawa. It's just that the United States dare not gamble!
Of course, Alan Wilson talked about this matter in a tone that didn’t hurt his back, which quickly aroused James Jones’ dissatisfaction, “Mr. , this is not the attitude of a close ally."
"Britain did this to leave the honor and joy of defeating Japan to the United States. This cannot be said to be a mistake." Alan Wilson denied it flatly. Seeing that the other party did not believe it, he could only add another sentence, "Say Britain has no interest in the Far East, and we can't really help."
Although the Japanese navy can be regarded as nothing left, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia is in a state of isolation and helplessness. But the British-Indian coalition forces are indeed still far away from the Japanese mainland.
Didn’t the United States not solve the Japanese army in Southeast Asia? Now the Japanese army in the Philippines is still surrounded, and the US military has not wiped out these Japanese troops who refused to surrender. Alan Wilson used this incident to refute James Jones’ words. He even wanted to Tell the other party that until Japan's unconditional surrender, the U.S. military did not hand over all the Japanese troops in the Philippines.
"On the issue of ending the war, is there only interest?" James Jones asked dissatisfied.
"Ah, Great Britain has its own national conditions." Alan Wilson put down his wine glass and spread his hands helplessly, "And you also know that the United Kingdom is an island country, and it is not good at the army. The landing battle is still the United States' strengths, don't believe it Your Excellency may recall that Operation Overlord is a firm proposition of the United States."
"Alan, our president has just taken office, and he is attending an international meeting for the first time. What the citizens of the country need now is good news. From the perspective of the three parties participating in the meeting this time, the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is at least significantly better than that with the Soviet Union. relationship?” James Jones took a deep breath and said in a different tone, “Now the United States needs the help of the United Kingdom, especially on the issue of fighting against Japan. Just watching from the sidelines?"
"This is a problem for the Americans. It is General Patton who took in the opponents of Tito." Alan Wilson's tone turned tough when he heard this question. conflict.
But as long as Alan Wilson doesn't admit it, no one will suspect him. After so many days, he has already figured out why the **** has become silent, and it must have involved the struggle between Eisenhower and Patton .
It can only be said that the timing is a coincidence. On the one hand, Eisenhower and Patton in Europe have different attitudes towards the post-war period. On the other hand, President Truman in the United States has just come to power, and many things are not very familiar.
This is evidenced by the fact that the vacancy for Secretary of State just now appeared.
"Of course, I will unreservedly inform the Foreign Secretary of the attitude of the Americans." In terms of the general position, the United Kingdom and the United States must be consistent. Alan Wilson changed the subject and said that he would try his best to maintain this special unity .
Since the Americans so urgently needed the Soviet Union to join the war and were willing to make concessions, Alan Wilson had no reason to refuse, which the Americans asked for.
"It's still the same problem. The Americans urgently need the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan." Returning to the Foreign Secretary Robert Eden, he reported, "The tone is very urgent. It can be seen that for now, this is the most important thing for the United States. We hope that we can assist in putting pressure on the Soviet Union.”
"However, the Prime Minister paid more attention to European issues, and believed that the Soviet Union should first accept the status quo on European issues." Robert Eden frowned. "The order of the Americans is the opposite of what we advocate."
"Dear Foreign Minister, in fact, the problem of fighting against Japan has been solved, and the problem on the European side can also be solved." Since a great ally just expressed his need for help, how dare Alan Wilson destroy the special relationship between Britain and the United States? , "In fact, we once had similar hopes for the Germans, and it was a question of making the Germans the Soviets."
"You mean?" Robert Eden understood as soon as he heard it. He was already the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the age of thirty-eight, and the decision maker who caused Germany to trouble the Soviet Union was himself.
"I said it, Minister. We all know that the Soviet Union is a powerful country with a strong military force. On the great plain of Europe, it is easiest to bring out the strengths of the Soviet Union. Japan is an island country!" Alan Wilson Neither humble nor overbearing, speaking from a completely neutral point of view, "If the war against Japan can start immediately, the Soviet Union will be diverted from Europe. Besides, the Soviet Union's sea power is weak, and it is also a garrison, so it will be in a situation where there is no backup on the island country."
Robert Eden nodded approvingly, and when he heard Alan Wilson mentioning the diversion of disasters, he once led similar decisions and he was not sleepy all of a sudden. needs are more reasonable.”
"Yes, Minister." Alan Wilson smiled knowingly, "Actually, the Prime Minister must have been mentioned by President Truman about the war against Japan, because of this..."
"To maintain the precious relationship with the American ally!" Robert Eden took over, "A gentleman never avoids his mistakes, does he?"
