Regarding the issue of prisoners of war, Alan Wilson expressed his willingness to talk, and at least the formal repatriation work will not start until after the year.
That was after New Year's Day in 1951. The reason for agreeing to this time was of course that the situation on the peninsula was already clear at that time.
In fact, Alan Wilson estimates that the scale of the war has now expanded, but Britain has little influence on the peninsula after all. It does not know the specific situation and has to wait for the US military to notify the news.
The military career of the Five-Star Mai Emperor, which has gone from one victory to another, will take a sharp turn and reach another turning point. Although Alan Wilson knows this clearly in his heart, others do not know that the best way is to wait.
So I agreed to Ikeda Yuto's discussion about prisoners of war and waited for the best time to do the work. It was very logical.
The reason why I think it is most appropriate after the New Year is because that is when the US military is at its most disgraced. If news of the repatriation of Japanese prisoners of war spreads in British Malaya at that time, it is theoretically the easiest time to take advantage of populism and implement Allen's plan.
Wilson's plan killed two birds with one stone.
If Alan Wilson is fair, before the battle of Topyeong-ri, the performance of the US military in facing new opponents was far from up to standard. If this war had been fought with the British army as the main force, there would never have been a second one.
Crash thousands of miles.
It would be even more difficult if we encountered the Soviet army. Now that our loving father is still alive, the Soviet army would rather die than take a step back. This is the first time we encounter the Soviet army and we can test the truth and tell the truth. It is not like the US military is just running away.
The U.S. military was not the main participant in the ground battlefield in World War II, and the entire U.S. military rarely defended itself. Often surrounded by enemies who suddenly appeared, the U.S. military's first reaction was to retreat and sell off its teammates.
The British army was always betrayed by the US military. This operation of betraying allies in the name of their own safety did not end until the battle of Topyeong-ri. For the first time, the US military showed the spirit to defend its position.
Therefore, after that, the situation of the US military being surrounded and without a master was alleviated. It was understood that relying on the superior guarantee provided by the United States to defend it would not necessarily be eliminated.
After taking advantage of the firepower advantage that the US military relied on, it also caused consequences for the opponent that would last for decades, causing the fear of insufficient firepower.
If he were an American, he might have given a warning or something, but as Alan Wilson was a glorious member of the British Empire, the most correct choice at this time was to be gloriously isolated, which was very much in line with British tradition.
"I just don't know who will replace the unlucky role of the British army." Alan Wilson pondered hard. The current situation is that the British have not dispatched ground troops. When the US military is catastrophic and uses command power to back up its teammates, who will it choose?
In terms of the scale of sending troops, Canada and Turkey are possible, because only these two countries have sent troops to a certain scale. Alan Wilson hopes that when the armies of these two countries are betrayed by the US military, they can compete with the British army.
Just as calm.
Anyway, this time, the Americans should not even think about betraying Britain. Japan's surrender had already disappointed Britain, so the Americans should suffer a little and let Britain take a breather.
Even this is far from enough. In the next few months, when the US military is being chased and beaten by North Korea, the UK should operate well in terms of public opinion.
After a few days of relaxation with Anna, Alan Wilson continued to pay attention to the construction work in Malaya, as well as the distribution of seeds, breeding pigs, breeding cattle, etc.
The first major project: The large-scale fertilizer plant in Malaya was Alan Wilson's first major project after becoming a commissioner.
There was no other way. Things like building roads and building houses were all done by the former commissioner Gerald Edward using prisoners of war.
Even though Gerald Edward had done so much infrastructure construction, it was unfortunate that the Chinese ethnic group surged during his tenure and became a relative majority in Malaya, and was very hostile in the eyes of the Malays.
On the contrary, Alan Wilson's tilt in passing the land allocation bill played the role of a blue sky king in the eyes of the Malays.
Large-scale fertilizer plants are very important. Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. Even the United Kingdom has gone through the agricultural revolution and has a foundation that is second to none in Europe. For a long time, it has been stronger than France, the traditional agricultural power in Europe, before it carried out the industrial revolution.
Not to mention the issue of lack of basics, the threshold for modern fertilizer technology is very high. Chemical fertilizers are not something you can produce if you want. Nitrogen fertilizers and phosphate fertilizers require synthetic ammonia. The earliest purpose of clicking on the synthetic ammonia technology tree is not to make chemical fertilizers.
, but to make explosives, the hardware required to make fertilizers is similar to that of cannons, all of which require alloy steel seamless tubes. After entering the 20th century, nuclear submarines have become the iconic dividing line for whether a country can make modern fertilizers.
Because after the alloy steel seamless pipe is conquered, at least manufacturing the outer shell of nuclear submarines will not be a problem.
Coincidentally, India's fertilizer industry is actually very backward, so it is also not very strong in manufacturing nuclear submarines.
So don't think that such a large fertilizer plant is so simple on the surface, but there are many details inside.
Unless the Soviet Union provides large-scale aid to India, anyway, based on Alan Wilson’s understanding when he was working in British India, the Indian fertilizer industry during the British Raj was very primitive and had absolutely nothing to do with the modern fertilizer industry.
If India wants to modernize its fertilizer industry, it must conquer the hardware of alloy steel seamless pipes on its own. If it cannot conquer it, even if it can produce it, the scale will be limited. The result will be similar to, or even worse than, India's generic drugs.
While the Malayan Administrative Commissioners were carrying out heavy tasks to ensure peace and prosperity for the 10 million subjects of the colony, although they were looming, the clues of the peninsula were gradually revealed as the war situation progressed.
The Five-Star Emperor, who wanted to end the war on Thanksgiving Day, finally achieved the expected results, just as Alan Weir expected, with the bravery and fearlessness no less than that of the Titanic decades ago.
In early November, when Alan Wilson decided to hold a meeting of commissioners on the 25th of next month to see who would be the commissioner of Christmas Island, news that the U.S.-South Korean coalition forces had been defeated and had retreated to the south of the Chongchon River spread from the peninsula.
all around the world.
The U.S. troops were either alone or in groups, carrying the wounded and moving toward the mountains while fighting. Some bypassed the roadblocks and moved east, and then south into the mountains, while others simply hid in the darkness and headed south.
Marched forward and finally reached the rear. Many people were captured, and the number of casualties could not be immediately ascertained at the time.
London, Canberra, Ottawa, Paris, Washington, Moscow, Belgrade, New Delhi, the two major camps, as well as the capitals of neutral countries, all launched a blow to the Americans who were victorious two weeks ago and wanted to end the war before Thanksgiving.
Hot discussion.
As the current biggest opponent of the United States, Moscow was first pleased with the shameful defeat of U.S. imperialism. After confirming the defeat of the U.S. military, it almost immediately reported the defeat of the U.S. military in a confirming tone. At the same time, it also stated that Emperor Mai wanted to be grateful.
I teased him about ending the war before Christmas.
Starting from Moscow, the news that the U.S. military was once again being attacked head-on like half a year ago spread throughout the world.
"I think London should have some trust in me now." Alan Wilson, who was holding the little dragoon in his arms, let out a long breath. Although he was 10,000 kilometers away from London, Emperor Mai was full of confidence.
A prophetic speech, coupled with the fact that the U.S. military is victorious.
This must be very embarrassing for London, which wants to stay out of the matter. For more than a month since September, American newspapers must have used this to ridicule Britain. As time goes by, it is inevitable that London will not let Alan Wilson thank the world.
But now this worry has disappeared, and Prime Minister Attlee's image will only be to resolutely defend British interests and prevent Britain from entering an uncontrollable war.
From the perspective of standing and talking without backache, Prime Minister Attlee must be living a very comfortable life now.
"It makes you happy, aren't you worried now?" Anna, as the closest person, could first feel the change in the man's mood, and said angrily, "You are so timid, it is different from when you were in Germany."
"Germany is Germany, and the United States is the United States. I believe that even the Soviets in front of me must admit at this moment that the national power of the United States is overwhelming to other countries." Alan Wilson did not deny that he had double standards.
He said, "The failure of the US military has its own problems. Once the enemy's situation is unclear, the US military often chooses to retreat to a safe place first. This habit is very bad. If the Soviet Red Army had stayed on the spot, the effect would have been much better."
Thousands of miles away in London, Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign Secretary Morrison, who had just returned from Kuala Lumpur, were also talking about what Moscow said was a shameful failure of imperialism.
"The previous concerns about the expansion of the scale of the war and MacArthur's personal shortcomings now seem to be completely correct." Attlee looked at the Foreign Secretary who was actually not on good terms with him and said, "On the one hand, we should be happy because we insist on defending
It protected the interests of the United Kingdom and did not allow the United Kingdom to be involved. On the other hand, it is also worrying, because if the war develops in an uncontrollable direction, will it cause a world war?"
"We should communicate with the United States to see if we can return to the pre-war situation." Morrison held his forehead and said helplessly, "But in July and August, the United States rejected our many suggestions and warnings.
.Now the United States can no longer listen to what we, the British, say.”
Prime Minister Attlee also nodded. He is also very complicated now. For the current UK, the current situation can be said to be mixed. Fortunately, the UK has avoided entering another war just after the economy has improved.
What is worrying is that the same is true for the more powerful opponent, the Soviet Union, while the United States, the helper that Britain relied on, has fallen into the war.
