At this moment, with the situation in Southeast Asia, Britain and the United States are like grasshoppers on a rope. No one can say how relaxed they are.
The United States could force Britain, the Netherlands, and Portugal to give up their colonies.
But even if it gives up, Indonesia will never return to the embrace of the free world. This was possible before, but now it is impossible.
In the situation in Southeast Asia, a domino theory is popular in American political circles. This theory is that once South Vietnam cannot withstand North Vietnam's attack, South Vietnam will be like the first domino to collapse, knocking down the following countries one by one. The final result
Naturally, the entire Southeast Asia will become a puppet state of the Soviet Union.
Alan Wilson once considered whether the Americans would change their minds about getting involved in the Vietnam War and adopt a wait-and-see attitude if Indonesia changed its color. However, upon careful consideration, this possibility did not arise. The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred before the Indonesian coup.
More than a year.
In other words, it was more than a year after the United States officially started war in Vietnam that Suharto defeated the Indonesian Communist Party. Before that, the United States was extremely worried about the expansion of the Indonesian Communist Party and believed that losing Indonesia was inevitable.
It is assumed that Indonesia is completely hostile and fights in Vietnam.
Historically, when the United States intervened in the Vietnam War, it faced a dilemma, and the situation could not have been more uncomfortable than it is now.
It can be said that the special relationship between Britain and the United States in Southeast Asia at this time is the real special relationship. The previous special relationship was only a superficial relationship.
With this consensus, Britain and the United States have a basis for cooperation. They both agree that in this difficult period, Britain and the United States should share the difficulties and unite to withstand the red tide's siege in Southeast Asia. Allen
Wilson also relayed Britain's assurance that it would stand firmly with the United States in response to the changes in Indonesia.
After reaching a consensus, Alan Wilson was ready to return to China to make arrangements. When he returned to Lana Turner's house, Alan Wilson thanked her for taking care of her recently.
"Friends should help each other." Lana Turner said with a smile, "I also want to thank Cheryl for taking care of you when she was in Europe. I will see you off tomorrow!"
This time Alan Wilson returned to London and chose a longer route, from Washington to Los Angeles, settling in Hawaii, arriving in Perth via Canberra, and then stopping. He also wanted to go to Kuala Lumpur to arrange some response work, and then return
to London.
"What happened in Indonesia was so sudden." It was summer in Australia at this time. Pamela Mountbatten was dressed in cool clothes and poured a glass of juice for her husband who had saved half the world. "You don't know, a few days ago, Australia
Whether it's TV or newspapers, everyone is talking about Jakarta. I think maybe this is the only time when they were so unanimous when facing the Japanese army moving south."
"As expected!" Old God Alan Wilson muttered, and took the juice handed over by his wife with a very comfortable expression. "Australians should feel a little bit more like Europe now. Facing an Indonesian
Can’t stand it anymore? Do Australians have to wet their pants when facing the Soviet Union?”
If you think about it carefully, the English-speaking countries of the Five Eyes Alliance and the United Kingdom are simply in a miserable state. The United States and Canada are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and Australia and New Zealand are also far away from a certain big country. The United Kingdom faces the Soviet Union. What should I do if I have been safe for four years?
Well, the British even sleep in their dreams calling the Soviet Union not to...
Why? It means it is a foregone conclusion, otherwise Alan Wilson would have wished that Alaska was also a sacred and inalienable part of the Soviet Union, so that Americans could also feel the benefits of being neighbors with the Soviet Union. This would also allow some of the tanks piled up by the Soviet Union in Europe
in North America.
Don't get me wrong, Alan Wilson is all about the U.S. Army. This will help enhance the importance of the U.S. Army. It is all for the balanced development of the various services in the city on the hill, and has no other intention.
"My dear, you don't seem to care much." Pamela Mountbatten was a little annoyed. Did her husband listen to her?
"It's not that I don't care, I'm just covering up my sadness with a smile. What can I do now? I can only think about remedies and benefits." Alan Wilson put down the empty cup and said as the head of the family, "Is it possible?
I am worried now, will Indonesia be able to return to the state it was in a week ago?"
"Benefits?" Pamela Mountbatten frowned, stretched out her hand to hold her husband's forehead, her face was full of disbelief.
"I don't have a fever." He reached out and grabbed his wife's hand. Ellen Wilson pointed to her legs. The female CEO sat down calmly and explained, "I understand the panic in the hearts of Australians."
This is nonsense, Alan Wilson understands Australia's fear of Asia better than anyone in the world.
This has been proven time and time again. A certain major country would just take pleasure in threatening Australia. Even when the fear of a certain major country was the greatest, Australia did not forget to devote half of its attention to Indonesia.
After all, a certain big country is still far away, but Indonesia is a country right in front of us. The fact that Australia is most unwilling to face is that Indonesia and a certain big country wear the same pants.
Don't even say that if you wear a pair of trousers, even if Indonesia is in a neutral position, Australia will always suspect that Indonesia will surrender to the Communist Party.
In particular, Indonesia's population is still expanding, and the expansion rate far exceeds Australia's population growth. If Alan Wilson's amphibious landing plan, which was repeatedly rejected by the United States, had been discussed with Australia, Australia would have sent troops eight times.
In the 21st century, the island of Java alone supports 150 million Indonesians, and Australia has a population of 25 million. If Alan Wilson was an Australian, he would be confused at the thought of Indonesia becoming hostile.
Australia has a White Australia Policy. If Australia wants to, it has countless opportunities to annex island countries in the South Pacific. Australians are not willing to do this, and they are not even willing to accept such a small number of South Islanders, let alone a country with as many people as Indonesia.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Indonesia now has 90 million people, and Australia has just over 10 million. After showing that he understands the concerns of Australians, Alan Wilson changed his subject
He said, "Australian mining has led to such a good life in recent years, so it's time to contribute to the free world. Everyone is contributing, but you are the only one making money?"
"My dear, after I have listened to your mature thinking with an overview of the overall situation, can you get to the point with your precise judgment?" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Indonesia is an archipelagic country and must rely on its navy to fight against it. Currently, the Australian Navy has an aircraft carrier strike group provided by us, but the Tejas class is actually not useful. Not to mention the smaller one before. Australia only has one aircraft carrier strike group of this size.
The United States will definitely not sell aircraft carrier battle groups, only we in the UK will sell them."
Alan Wilson continued calmly, "After I go back, I plan to talk to the marshal about the adjustment of the deployment of British forces around the world. The few Centaurs in the Pacific Fleet are no longer available. The Soviets gave Indonesia a
The fleet is also an excellent excuse to increase the Pacific Fleet. I believe the military will understand this."
If this arms sale is successful, it will not end on the same day as the last one, and the level of threat will be different. We should take the opportunity to increase prices. Australia has money after digging for so long.
"Father must be happy." Pamela Mountbatten did not doubt this. Marshal Mountbatten was a veteran of the Navy and would never let go of the opportunity to expand the Royal Navy.
"The Army is also happy. I remember that the British troops stationed in Australia don't seem to need any appropriation." Alan Wilson reviewed the accounts from Frank. The cost of the British troops stationed in Australia is borne by Australia. What is an imperial loyal dog? Is there such a thing?
Who doesn’t like allies?
"How many days are you going to stay here?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, who was traveling for his country. "When will you return to London?"
"I want to go to Kuala Lumpur first." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "Indonesia has moved towards the Soviet bloc, and short-term shocks are inevitable. Malaya is right next to Indonesia. Some people who are afraid because of the unstable situation may
Escape to Malaya. Those who can escape are rich people, and you can't escape if you don't have money."
"You want to accept them?" Pamela Mountbatten understood immediately, but she still asked doubtfully, "Are they reliable? You have to know that the development of Malaya today is not easy."
"There will be no problem." Alan Wilson is full of confidence. The Cubans who escaped from Cuba during the Castro period are different from other Latinos. They are all die-hard Republicans. Florida is in the Republican political map.
It has an important status no less important than Texas.
Like these exiles, once they arrived in Malaya, they were more loyal to the British than the locals.
To this day, Alan Wilson feels that the discoloration of Indonesia is the outcome that benefits the UK the most.
Malaya may feel some military pressure, but the disadvantages of being in the UK stop there. The UK uses Malaya to suppress Indonesia, and Australia will definitely cooperate willingly, which will also help the UK maintain control over this mine.
Maintain a longer-lasting influence.
If it hadn't been a huge failure for the free world as a whole, he would be laughing out loud right now.
The cabinet secretary was full of energy, and after soothing the empty body of the female president, he took off again to Kuala Lumpur, a place with the best economy in Southeast Asia, especially better than Indonesia.
The purpose of this visit was to attract the exiles who wanted to live in the free world, especially the wealthy ones. Alan Wilson wanted to hear what the High Commissioner thought.
The last bit of value must be squeezed out of Indonesia. Britain's life is not easy now. It needs some leeks who have been severely hit by the Soviet iron fist and come to Malaya full of anger to bleed and sweat.
