At this point, he could no longer keep McCarthy in London. He simply admitted that it was indeed a mistake in judgment, that the majority of Whitehall opinions were correct, and that he was in the unfounded minority.
"Don't say that, Allen, my purpose of coming to the UK this time is to consolidate the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but the main purpose is to come and attend your wedding." McCarthy waved his hand and said indifferently, "You are a very special person.
Sincerity is very rare among officials."
"Actually, it is very rare for a sharp-edged politician like you, Joseph." Alan Wilson smiled and shook his head, but his hand did not stop and he had already opened a bottle of whiskey. Now that McCarthy's return to the United States has become a foregone conclusion, he could not continue to retain him.
, then don’t suppress your true nature during the rest of the time. Drinking is not a big problem.
McCarthy laughed loudly and took the initiative to hand over the wine glass, saying that his behavior at the wine table was at least one of the important reasons for the harmonious relationship between the two.
Alan Wilson asked McCarthy what he thought after returning to the United States. McCarthy said that although there was some suspicion of speculation, he still wanted to use the Soviet Union's annexation of Hokkaido to cause trouble for Truman.
This is also to prepare for the next general election. The Democratic Party's current support rate is very low. It is time for the Republican Party to avenge its shame and take back the power to govern the United States.
Now the Republican Party is counting on heroes in the war to inspire patriotism in the United States.
"Maybe only MacArthur and Eisenhower are more suitable." Alan Wilson, who was holding a wine glass, nodded and said, "But I believe this is only the opinion of some Republicans."
"Taft is still interested in running for one term." McCarthy drank a drink and started talking openly. He poured out all he knew about the situation. It was nothing more than that Dewey had lost three times and a large part of the Republican Party had expressed disappointment with Dewey.
The two current opinions of the Republican Party are to select a war-era hero to fight on behalf of the Republican Party, and the remaining one is to select Taft himself to fight against the Democratic Party.
In fact, judging from the Democratic Party's current support rate, Republicans are more confident than they were in 1948. The fact that the Republicans regained control of Congress in the just past midterm elections is a perfect proof.
"So, the outbreak of the Korean War was a good thing for the Republicans." Alan Wilson spoke meaningfully.
"It cannot be said that upright voters will no longer be deceived by the Democrats who do nothing." McCarthy pretended to be serious, but the clean smile that did not disappear on his face betrayed his true thoughts.
"This is the true meaning of democracy!" Alan Wilson took the initiative to raise his glass and expressed his approval in front of McCarthy. "But, you still have to be careful. Senator Churchill was also very confident at the time."
Alan Wilson had purely good intentions. He remembered that during the 1952 election, the Republican Party originally had high hopes for MacArthur, but MacArthur did not even pass the primary.
With the support of the Republican Party, MacArthur began to participate in the presidential campaign. You must know that MacArthur's prestige at this time was extremely high, higher than that of the then US President Truman. He presided over the Japanese surrender ceremony, and later led troops to Japan to reform Japan.
He has become the emperor of Japan.
Later, in the Korean War, he led the United Nations troops to land in Inchon, which was also a miracle in the history of war. Although he was finally dismissed by Truman, when he returned to the country, the United States was really empty of people, and they all welcomed him.
It can be said that MacArthur's prestige was higher than that of everyone in the United States at that time. It stands to reason that he had a high chance of winning the presidential election, but the result exceeded everyone's expectations.
On the contrary, Eisenhower successfully aspired to become president, but Eisenhower had long been MacArthur's subordinate.
This was a replica of Churchill's confidence in 1945, except that no two things in the world were exactly the same. The problem was not with the Democratic Party, but with MacArthur's inability to even get past the primaries.
"Do you think the Republican Party will lose this time? It's unlikely, right?" McCarthy asked drunkenly.
"The problem is not with the other party, but with the struggle within the Republican Party. Joseph, don't think that MacArthur is sure to win. You still don't want to express your preference during the primary stage." Alan Wilson was absolutely sincere. He didn't care about McCarthy.
How many people will be persecuted by the political extension of life, as long as it does not persecute yourself.
Considering that McCarthy might feel tired, Alan Wilson booked a flight for McCarthy for the day after tomorrow. In a few days, he himself would return to Kuala Lumpur and start his plan to take off in Malaya.
Mainly due to the huge demand brought about by the real estate revitalization plan of the British African colonies. This is an important step in the completion of the current British cycle, using the needs of the British African colonies to promote the extensive development of British Malaya.
Let’s focus on the indicators first, and wait until all statistics reflect the importance of British Malaya. I believe London will not dare to give up on this place.
Once British Malaya's industrialization achievements were impressive, Alan Wilson did not believe that London would dare to leave without saying a word.
Although the data of British India before independence was often ten times that of the Republic of China under the leadership of Chang Gong. But we also need to look at the results of Chang Gong’s golden decade. The national steel production was less than 100,000 tons. Even if British India was ten times,
In fact, it is one million tons.
Now British Malaya already has a production of two million tons, and Alan Wilson's goal is to be equal to the mainland. He does not believe that with such data, London will not feel bad when it gives up.
Under the influence of alcohol, Alan Wilson fell into a deep sleep. It was not until Pamela Mountbatten came back that he woke him up and asked, "Drinking with your American friend again? You are not a drinker, so why do you always drink with him?"
He even drank it at home."
"He is a guest, and there are different ways to deal with it depending on the person." Alan Wilson held his forehead and explained slowly, "He will leave the day after tomorrow, so don't be angry."
"How could I be angry with you if you say it so seriously?" Pamela Mountbatten said with some anger, "I will join you after I finish working on the project in the Middle East. It won't take long. The local climate is what I am.
Some are unable to adapt to the humid and hot weather along the coast, but I don’t know if it can be improved.”
"Let's see if I can get enough jade from Burma to build you a cool house." Alan Wilson chuckled and began to draw pie in front of Pamela Mountbatten again.
"I still think it's better to put it in Australia, where it's safer." Pamela Mountbatten stretched out her hand and gave her husband a gentle blow. "Every day, I know how to say nice things, and if I have this time, I can give birth to a child as soon as possible. Patricia will
I have two children.”
"Children are indeed the top priority." Alan Wilson nodded with deep understanding. Although he had just sobered up, his wife's signal was here. He would have been stupid if he didn't understand it. He directly pulled his wife into his arms and began to cultivate feelings. No.
For a long time, the rhythm of men and women's affairs sounded in the room.
The Berlin crisis, which has been judged not to happen, occurred precisely when the Soviet Union and the United States were having an earth-shattering quarrel over the ownership of Hokkaido. From the United Nations to the capitals of various countries, everyone was paying attention to the progress of the Hokkaido issue.
Beria completed his investigation of the entire West Berlin and made a judgment on West Berlin's self-sufficiency capacity. Before that, the Soviet Union had consciously controlled the import of living materials into West Berlin. It was judged that the living materials in the entire West Berlin could only last for a week.
.
With the approval of the Kremlin, water, land and freight transportation and freight between the Western-occupied areas and Berlin were completely cut off. In the early morning hours, the entire West Berlin had not yet woken up from the night, and West Berlin was already under a de facto blockade.
The 300,000 Soviet Red Army troops in the Soviet-occupied areas have also entered a state of combat readiness to prevent armed conflicts on the border between the Soviet-occupied areas and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Whitehall was immediately informed of the news in West Berlin through telegrams in West Berlin. At this time, Alan Wilson, who had gotten up, was preparing to rush to the airport to say goodbye to McCarthy.
Before the trip could be completed, I was handed over the phone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, and listened to Sir Ismay, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, informing me of the Soviet Union's blockade of Berlin.
"Are you really so bold?" Alan Wilson immediately asked for the details of the matter.
Sir Ismay spread his hands. The Soviet Union had just made some moves, and no details had come out.
Alan Wilson left Whitehall immediately, praying that McCarthy had drunk too much yesterday and hadn't arrived at the airport yet.
Facts have proved that his guess was indeed correct, and McCarthy was really hungover.
"Joseph, I just received news that the Soviets have blockaded Berlin." Alan Wilson didn't care about politeness and called up McCarthy who was wearing underpants. It was a pity that he didn't bring a camera, otherwise McCarthy could experience Churchill's treatment.
.
"Huh?" It was hard to imagine that McCarthy's somewhat bloated body could be so agile. He stared directly at Alan Wilson, "Alan, what you said is true."
"I received the news from Whitehall!" Alan Wilson looked solemn. This is not the Sun. What is true or false? "I believe that the US military stationed in Germany already knows about it. Washington should also know about it."
Because the tense situation in the Far East has attracted Washington's attention, this time's Berlin crisis can be said to have caught the United States by surprise. Now the U.S. military stationed in Germany is in a state of headlessness.
"I'll ask the country first!" McCarthy stood up directly and said while getting dressed, "Let's see if there are any other opinions."
McCarthy immediately thought of it and immediately contacted Taft, Dewey and other Republican leaders. He asked these leaders for their suggestions on how to deal with this difficult incident.
"I want to go back to Whitehall too!" Alan Wilson nodded and immediately said that he would now go back to Whitehall to discuss countermeasures. After all, this is a major event involving the livelihood of more than two million Berliners, and no one party can handle it alone.
