If not he could be regarded as someone who had worked with him. Knowing what Alan Wilson did in British India, he really believed what this imperialist said. He spoke with great emotion, and I don’t know who taught him.
At this moment, Vivien Leigh, who was resting in the hotel, sneezed, the Dragoon sisters in Bonn looked calm, and Woodpecker Pictures in Paris seemed to be shrouded in causality.
"But I admit that you are right. After I took office, I also discovered that the Japanese do have the spirit of hard work." Burgess partially agreed with Alan Wilson's opinion.
"Maybe it will be even more powerful than Britain in the future." Alan Wilson said half-seriously.
"Impossible!" Burgess categorically denied, "Alan, do you know what you are talking about? At the level of Japan?"
"I know Portugal's level." Alan Wilson said calmly and took back his words, "I was just joking."
Unexpectedly, this Soviet spy turned out to be a person who loved the motherland. Alan Wilson had nothing to say.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding. What Alan Wilson just said was the level that Japan may reach in the future. As for Burgess, of course he does not know what will happen in the future. In the eyes of the ambassador to Japan, Japan is really the level of Portugal.
Japan's national power and military power are outstanding in Asia. In Europe, there is only one definite advantage, and that is population. The equipment of the Japanese army is far inferior to the level of Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Iberian Peninsula before the war.
The only thing Japan can rely on is that its soldiers can endure hardships and stand hard work, and its national strength is simply not comparable to that of Britain. Taking all the tanks Japan produced in World War II added up, the total production volume was only 5,000.
In 1918, during World War I, the British Expeditionary Force in Europe was equipped with 3,300 tanks. In addition to being tenacious in combat, the Japanese Army was basically at the level of World War I in Europe.
The U.S. military, which is not known for its fighting spirit, is currently arrogant throughout Japan.
Not on the same channel as the ambassador to Japan, Alan Wilson changed the subject and said that he was in Tokyo to discuss the repatriation of prisoners of war. He also represented prisoners of war in the hands of the Netherlands, Australia, and Portugal, and the four countries would repatriate them at the same time.
"So that's it!" Burgess finally stopped worrying about whether Japan and Britain could be compared and asked, "Have we communicated with each other? There is no problem with several countries."
"No problem, it's pretty much what it should be used for." Alan Wilson shrugged. "Australia was originally the toughest person, but now it agrees."
"World War II really had a great impact on Australia." Burgess nodded solemnly, "You must have done a lot of persuasion, and it must not have been easy."
"Australia is no problem." Alan Wilson smiled slightly and said that he didn't waste much time.
The allocation of the top resource countries on the fifth planet is a joke. In the foreseeable future, no matter how much Australia jumps, it will not have a bad time.
In fact, the retention of British Malaya can prevent Australia from going another way. Australians, who believe most that blood is thicker than water, will exceed Australia's own national strength once faced with threats from Asia.
Alan Wilson can imagine a possibility, that is, there is public opinion in Australia to merge with the United States.
Anyway, given the situation in the 21st century, there is indeed the possibility that Australia will be held hostage economically by a major country and become a satellite state.
But obviously Australia is not prepared to force anyone to leave. Instead, it stands firmly by the United States. It is even conceivable that Australia can merge with the United States if there is no other way.
Among the Five Eyes alliance, Australia is the most convinced that blood is thicker than water, and there is definitely a possibility of this happening.
The Australian ambassador to the United States once said that he is willing to pay any economic price for the confrontational policy of the United States. This can be said, and merger is by no means a fantasy.
Currently facing Japan, Alan Wilson knows very well that Australia still has hatred for Japan.
The work he is doing now is to maintain Australia's hatred as much as possible, and to favor Malaya, which has little hatred, between US-occupied Japan and British-occupied Malaya.
Now he believes that it can be said that Malaya has the support of almost all places in the entire British Empire that can still maintain influence. Except for the population size, the conditions should be no worse than Japan, which lost Hokkaido.
Through the embassy, Burgess got in touch with George Steitmeyer, commander of the Far East Air Force. In fact, the scale of this war on the peninsula must be larger than in history, because there is a Soviet air base in Hokkaido.
When Alan Wilson saw the commander of the Far East Air Force, he took the initiative to say that he had come to Japan specifically to express his apology. At the same time, he officially started the repatriation work, which required the friendly help of the US military stationed in Japan.
"At present, Japan's status is becoming more and more important. Our close allies such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Australia also believe so. The hatred in the past can be temporarily put aside."
Alan Wilson made a magnanimous gesture and said, "General George, what do you think?"
Although the opponent was a first-line general, Alan Wilson was not very afraid of him. Mountbatten was also a lieutenant general now, and when he became the commander of the Grand Fleet according to the procedures, he would be a proper admiral.
"Oh, Commissioner Wilson, thank you for the support of the allies. The current situation in Japan has initially stabilized, but the Soviet threat in Hokkaido does exist." Lieutenant General George Stittmeyer expressed his gratitude to the allies for their support.
The Japanese and American troops will definitely be happy to see this happen.
"Oh, the damn Soviets." Alan Wilson expressed the common position with a heavy face. He temporarily forgot that in the embassy, he was ecstatic about the Soviet occupation of Hokkaido. Otherwise, what would happen? It would not be conducive to the development of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
Consolidate.
After all, Hokkaido was the second largest island in Japan before, and it was also an island that Japan completely occupied very late. Naturally, it has a sparse population. Alan Wilson is a little strange. It seems that East Asia's performance in ocean exploration is very average.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! China on the mainland can still be forgiven. Japan, itself surrounded by the ocean, did not expand to the Ryukyu Islands until the 19th century, which was considered very late.
For a long time, the Japanese kept circling Honshu, and the efficiency of occupying Hokkaido was very low. Now it's better, the Soviet Union has occupied Hokkaido.
Alan Wilson raised a possibility in front of Lieutenant General George Stuttermeyer, "How did the Soviets respond to the issue of Hokkaido?"
"No response!" George Stuttmeyer said with a wry smile, "Now that war has broken out, there is no response."
"We have to consider the possibility that the Soviet Union will eventually choose to annex Hokkaido." Alan Wilson said with a heavy face, "With the Russian character, this situation is very likely to happen."
This is definitely not alarmist. This possibility absolutely exists. Alan Wilson believes that there may be no north and south Japan at all. Hokkaido is an island, and it is impossible for the Soviet Union to use land for support in the direction of Europe.
The entire national strategy of the Soviet Union does not allow the establishment of a strong navy to defend Hokkaido at this stage. It is very likely that it will choose to do nothing and directly annex Hokkaido.
I just don’t know what opportunity will arise in the short term that will be used by the Soviet Union. Once this opportunity arises, Japan will officially say goodbye to Hokkaido.
"In fact, we have similar worries. If that is the case, the situation will be terrible. Some people believe that Japan should be armed immediately. The US military stationed in Japan cannot solve everything. The Japanese must bear part of their self-defense capabilities."
George Sturtmeyer still attached great importance to the special relationship between Britain and the United States and informed some voices in the United States.
Alan Wilson has already made a decision in his heart. Today's conversation must not be told to Burgess, otherwise Moscow will know about it.
The United States is preparing to arm Japan at a faster pace than in history. This is unexpected and reasonable. After all, the consequences of losing Hokkaido are not comparable to the four northern islands. Hokkaido can really be used as a forward position to attack Japan.
It can be said that tigers can swim across the straits of Hokkaido and Honshu. This is definitely not a joke. The swimming ability of tigers is enough to cross a strait that is about the same width as the Strait of Malacca. The evidence is the existence of Sumatran tigers.
After consolidating the special relationship between Britain and the United States, according to the plan, Alan Wilson was supposed to meet Ikeda Yuuto. However, he decided to sleep with Vivien Leigh before considering the matter.
The war on the peninsula was given a boost by the Japanese economy. Geographically, Japan served as the rear base of the peninsula. Thanks to the investment of the United States in the war, it was able to get rid of the embarrassment of not having enough to eat.
However, due to differences in details, such as the Hokkaido issue, the United States is not ready to support Japan first. It wants Japan to defend itself as soon as possible and save the expenditure of the US military.
Alan Wilson certainly thinks it is a good thing, so that Japan will not be so strong in import and export substitution cost subsidies.
He knew that Britain's military expenditure accounted for the proportion of fiscal expenditure, and Japan would definitely not be able to get rid of military restrictions. But even a little more investment in military expenditure would cause financial pressure.
In front of Ikeda Yuuto, Alan Wilson, who was sitting on the floor, almost failed to manage his expression and turned his apology into gloating.
"The Japanese government should take the initiative to protest against Moscow. If you don't say anything, how can other countries help Japan speak up?" Alan Wilson mentioned something that he didn't mention. He was obviously talking about the repatriation of prisoners of war, but he was also talking about the current situation in Japan.
Attack the pain points.
Hokkaido is now a pain for all of Japan. Losing overseas territories, even the Korean Peninsula, can only be said to have vomited out all the results of previous expansion. However, Hokkaido was already part of Japan during the shogunate period. After losing it, the Japanese felt
Feeling distressed.
Even the humility and politeness that Ikeda Yuuto always displayed after hearing Alan Wilson disappeared. In front of Alan Wilson, who almost failed to manage his expression, he failed to manage his expression first.
