We also stopped at Okinawa on the way. During this period, Alan Wilson also took Vivien Leigh there once. With his huge knowledge of government affairs, he learned a lot about the local history.
"You know so much!" Vivien Leigh said with an admiring look on her face, which was definitely not the tone of someone who only knows how to drive.
"We civil servants only have this unused knowledge." Alan Wilson smiled slightly. What bad intentions could the national treasure have? Even if it was really mocking, he didn't care.
"Listen to what you said." Vivien Leigh was referring to what Alan Wilson said. Although he didn't know the specific work of this man in preventing infiltration, he had vaguely heard it mentioned several times.
"Can you please stop mentioning this person!" Alan Wilson looked helpless. His good mood was gone. It was not that internationalism broke out in his heart. He had been a British man in this life and had not traveled thousands of miles to pay attention to the motherland in his memory. He was so realistic.
People are not so free.
Just when someone mentions Mr. Chang, he can always think of another person at the same time, I, Senator Churchill of the British Empire. His originally good mood will suddenly take a turn for the worse.
In fact, as long as two of the three giants, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, were brought together, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, one of them would not participate in the war. Their strength would still exceed that of the Axis powers. The price the United Kingdom paid to allow the United States to participate in the war was too high.
Japan's productivity is incomparable to that of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom did not maintain its navy and at the same time create a bunch of small tanks to fool the army and let the army work hard on its own.
British tanks may not be as good as those of the Soviet Union, but they are definitely not defective, and they are not tanks like the King Tiger, which take a long time to produce.
If it were the combination of Britain and the Soviet Union against Germany and Japan, it might take some time, but the Allies could still win.
Realizing that it was not easy for this commissioner to travel around for the empire, Vivien Leigh obediently changed the topic and walked arm in arm with Alan Wilson on the streets of Naha.
At this time in Okinawa, it was difficult to find the tragic battle of Okinawa five years ago. Vivien Leigh was very interested in the kimonos on some people on the streets of Naha. At the same time, the white faces of the group, while paying attention to the residents of Naha, also ushered in the
Curious eyes.
Japan has been defeated, Okinawa is technically under the custody of the US military, and Naha also has a US military base. The citizens of Naha have become accustomed to white faces appearing from time to time, but there are still eyes on Vivien Leigh. This may be what good looks should be.
treatment.
Hearing Vivien Leigh express her curiosity about kimono, Alan Wilson was moved and asked, "You have also been to Xiangjiang and have you seen cheongsam? How does it compare?"
"Most people are actually not suitable for this kind of clothing, and the same is true in Xiangjiang. It seems that the people here are no different." Vivien Leigh pursed her lips and organized her words with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Understood, this topic ends here." Alan Wilson already knew what Vivien Leigh was going to say, the difference between a buyer's show and a seller's show, and that traditional clothing in various countries has much higher requirements than modern clothing.
To put it bluntly, if you see people wearing kimonos for just a moment, 90% of them are just sellers’ shows.
Even if he had never been to Hong Kong, Alan Wilson could instinctively guess that the cheongsam was a very simple garment that had higher physical requirements on women. He estimated that Vivien Leigh had seen many car accident scenes during her trip to Hong Kong.
This situation is very common, and it is the same in Europe. For example, the long stockings of the French and the corset skirts of European women are not glorious histories worth remembering.
"When I was filming Gone with the Wind, I did feel that those historical clothes were uncomfortable to wear, but have you seen my movie? Isn't it very good." Vivien Leigh sat with the man in a noodle shop and was surprised at how Alan Wilson was acting like this
It was easy to find a place to fill her stomach, but later she suddenly realized that she had forgotten that this man knew Oriental writing.
"Vivian, you also said that the black supporting role that you dress well and play your maid is called?" Ellen Wilson pondered for a moment, and finally Vivien Leigh came to the rescue, "Hatty McDaniel, she is a good one.
woman."
"He is also wearing traditional clothing from the Civil War. Tell the truth, does it look good?" While Ichiro Ozawa called for a bowl of noodles in Japanese, Alan Wilson issued a soul torture.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Vivien Leigh was very happy. He could understand what Alan Wilson meant. The main reason was that she was beautiful. It didn't matter what gorgeous clothes she wore.
"It seems like her skills are good!" Vivien Leigh was a little cautious. She didn't know the whirlwind stick technique like Alan Wilson.
Alan Wilson immediately took chopsticks and started feeding the national treasure of the British Empire. "This is a relatively mature civilization in the world. It should be good at making noodles. Maybe we in the UK are not talented in this aspect."
The combination of several mixed white and yellow faces is no longer novel in Japan today, especially in Okinawa. After all, this is the main base of the US military. In terms of the World War II dividends in this era, it is definitely not a lie to say that the US military is superior to others.
This is different from another country that is also very powerful on the surface, the Soviet Union. Japanese prisoners of war in a Siberian prisoner-of-war camp protested that the potatoes provided by the Soviet Union were unpalatable. In the end, the difference was only one potato for the Japanese and two potatoes for the Soviets.
.
Although the Soviet Union put a lot of effort into ideological education, the Japanese prisoners of war who later returned did not create much of a stir. No matter how great their ideas were, it would be of no use without a corresponding standard of living, and they might even backfire on themselves in the end.
As long as British Malaya could take off, Alan Wilson felt that it would not be infiltrated and destabilize.
Leaving Okinawa, the romantic sea journey came to an abrupt end in Tokyo. Alan Wilson's destination was the British Embassy in Tokyo. Vivien Leigh's nominal purpose was to inspect and discover new Japanese stars in the name of the major shareholder of United Artists.
Vivien Leigh had to find a hotel to stay in, and Alan Wilson had to go to the embassy first. The British ambassador to Japan was someone he knew very well, and could even be said to have worked with him. His name was Burgess, one of the Cambridge Five.
a member of.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Alan, how is your life in Malaya? I heard that something happened some time ago, so I will keep you busy." Burgess met Alan Wilson
, opened his arms very enthusiastically. At this age, he has already become the ambassador of a country. He has a promising future and can even be said to be highly valued by the White House.
"It's okay." Alan Wilson had a numb feeling. In order to protect British intelligence, he dug out two members of the Cambridge Five before taking office in New Delhi. One became the Burmese Commissioner and the other became the Tin
Commissioner Lan. Later, one went to South Africa and the other to Australia.
Now it seems that God is not good enough. A top student carefully cultivated by the British Empire still went deep into the front line of the Cold War as a Soviet spy. This is very embarrassing.
The U.S. military, which is fighting fiercely on the peninsula, would have thought about the base camp supporting the war and the number one figure in the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
"Burgess, congratulations. You have become an ambassador. I wonder if Maclean would be envious." Alan Wilson said with a reluctant smile, "When did you take office?"
"Having been in office for half a year, I feel that this place is particularly suitable for me." Burgess expressed his feelings and seemed very sincere.
Alan Wilson didn't dare to doubt this. Maybe he liked the feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife, so he directly said, "Where is the information I want? Japan's current self-sufficiency rate of various resources, import and export figures, etc."
Japan itself is not lacking in any resources. Alan Wilson thought it might be forestry and marine fishery resources.
This idea is similar to that of Newfoundland. But in fact, Japan's agricultural foundation is not bad. The efficiency of food production in the Japanese archipelago has been greatly improved. The volcanic ash soil and temperate rainy climate have made Japan one of the highest yields in the world. Not to mention
The Hokkaido fisheries around Japan are among the world's leading economic fisheries.
The premise is that Hokkaido is still in the hands of Japan, but now Hokkaido is in the hands of the Soviet Union.
Japan is known as the Mineral Museum. The total amount of minerals is not large, but the types are extremely rich. It can be said that Japan has all the minerals that can be found in the world, but the per capita minerals are either zero or approximately zero.
Originally, Japan's coal resources are still sufficient, but Japan's coal is also in Hokkaido, which is very embarrassing.
Alan Wilson estimates that the coal on Battleship Island will be exhausted earlier in Japan in this time and space. Japan's few iron ore mines are also in Hokkaido.
"Thank you Soviet!" He expressed his gratitude to the Soviet Union in his heart. He could not imagine how much effort the Soviet Union would save in the competition with Japan just by occupying Hokkaido.
What is certain now is that Japan itself lacks oil and gas. The loss of Hokkaido also lacks coal and iron, and agriculture has also been cut off.
These are very important things in the country's start-up, coupled with the military pressure from Hokkaido and the Soviet army, it is simply good news.
"Burgess, the United States has always allowed the Soviet Union to occupy Hokkaido?" Alan Wilson said pointedly, "hasn't it expressed any protest against Moscow?"
Alan Wilson looked at the statistics of the British Embassy with a red face. Almost all of them were imported items with more than 50% imports, mixed with a few raw material items that were 100% dependent on foreign countries. He felt happy. It was time.
Using the hard work of social animals to turn everything around, a nation as outstanding as the Great Nuclear Nation can definitely do it.
"Alan, why are you laughing?" Burgess asked strangely when he saw the strange look on Alan Wilson's face.
"Uh!" Alan Wilson, who lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, choked with red eyes, "I saw the determination of a nation to rise from the ruins."
Burgess involuntarily made a tactical backward posture, as if he had seen a ghost.
