"Now it seems that we are the only ones who can react first." As a friend, Alan Wilson has nothing to hide. Prime Minister Attlee's statement will be published in the newspapers soon, and McCarthy will know it by then.
Because of World War II, the Royal Air Force received special attention after the war, and it can be said that it has a rich capital. But it is completely incomparable to the United States. If the United States cannot respond quickly, then the free world will respond to this Berlin crisis.
As a result, the British tried their best and ultimately failed because the Royal Air Force's transport capacity was insufficient to support the needs of more than two million West Berlin citizens.
Alan Wilson does not think that the United States wants to use the Berlin crisis to teach the United Kingdom a lesson. If the United States does not work or contribute, it is hard to say whether the United Kingdom will be disappointed. Almost all European countries will be disappointed. The United States cannot even think about leading freedom.
The world!
"Joseph, this is an opportunity for you, for whatever reason. You happen to be in Europe as a heavyweight senator at this time, and your every move represents the United States in a sense."
Alan Wilson, who had already determined that the United States would not sell out Britain, began to make suggestions for McCarthy, but before that he needed McCarthy's guarantee. This was McCarthy's personal behavior and had nothing to do with him, a British person.
"Alan, you are my friend." McCarthy was even a little angry, a little dissatisfied with Alan Wilson's caution.
"I'm sorry, this is my professional ethics. You have to understand that we business officers can always be fooled by politicians." Alan Wilson calmly distanced himself from the relationship, and then helped McCarthy make suggestions.
First of all, Berlin, as an important city in the world, currently attracts the attention of two major groups, and the whole world's eyes are on Berlin.
For the Soviet Union, when it annexed Hokkaido and the free world had few options, it would have nothing to lose if it failed, but it would have the momentum to pursue victory if it succeeded.
For the free world, it must show its strength to make the Soviet Union retreat. The United States currently faces many problems.
Even if the Hokkaido issue is excluded, the peninsula is still a big problem, because before Alan Wilson returned to London to get married, the US-ROK coalition launched a summer offensive and made little progress.
It is rude to come back without reciprocating. Once the US-ROK coalition's active attack fails to make progress, the counterattack can be predicted.
The Berlin Crisis of 1948 in history is called the first climax of the Cold War, but compared with the Berlin Crisis of 1951 in this time and space, it is considered a child's play.
Probably the least nervous person in Europe right now is Alan Wilson, who is still here talking nonsense and advising McCarthy.
He told McCarthy that staying in the UK was not enough to establish a tough guy image, and that he had to go to Germany to see the front line in person. Only in this way could he show his fearless qualities, which would be good for McCarthy's future political career.
"It would be best to express peace with the US military stationed in Germany. Joseph, you are a political person. In such a difficult time, it should not be a problem to express praise to the US military." Alan Wilson said this and looked at McCarthy.
"No problem." McCarthy nodded. Just now, Alan Wilson analyzed the current situation for him in detail, which made him feel that this friend was not in vain. He could not even find such a friend in the United States.
It's a pity that Alan Wilson is British. McCarthy didn't know how many times he thought this and felt pity for him.
"I will also go to Europe." Alan Wilson said his itinerary, but of course he did not mention that he was the one who sold Poland to the Soviet Union at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, so he was remembered by Whitehall.
"Alan, isn't this a bit risky for you? You just got married." McCarthy was very shocked. He thought that Alan Wilson took the initiative to accompany him to Europe because he wanted to help his friend. You must know that Alan Wilson
As the commissioner of the Asian colonies, he could completely stay out of the matter.
"Joseph, it's time. Don't talk about these things!" Although he said in his heart that he was just passing a hot spot and had no other meaning, hearing McCarthy think so, Alan Wilson also showed his determination to maintain the free world at all costs.
.
He has reason to do this. He has just married Pamela Mountbatten, a representative of the British aristocracy and the richest man in the UK. If he does not safeguard the free world, will he wait for the Soviets to come over and communize Europe?
The two extremes of the enemy and ourselves cannot coexist peacefully. Alan Wilson also understood this truth, even better than the Soviets. Before the proletariat can unite, the reactionary forces should first unite.
"Dear, I believe that for you, the Berlin crisis is a good thing. Maybe many domestic Comet aircraft will be responsible for air transport missions this time. If the reliability is proven, the business will experience an explosive growth.
"
Back home, Alan Wilson no longer had to maintain the hypocritical face of defending the free world, but directly showed his reactionary face. According to the definition of the Soviet Union, Pamela Mountbatten was a vested interest in feudalism and a reactionary capitalist.
, as for Alan Wilson's proper imperialist bureaucrat, both of them want to hang street lights.
"Even in this airlift operation, it has a strong sense of presence." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes lit up and she continued following her husband's words. This is a great advertisement. Maybe it can win orders from Germany!
"Of course, dear!" Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes and expressed his approval of his wife's words, "This will be an unprecedented advertisement, it is best not to miss it. It can also show the aristocracy on the issue of maintaining the British Empire.
He is also responsible.”
At this time, Prime Minister Attlee's stance on the Berlin crisis had already appeared in the newspapers, and major newspapers were reporting on it. The Soviet Union was aggressive, while Britain showed its responsibility as a major power. Prime Minister Attlee's stance received unanimous support from public opinion.
.
Alan Wilson, who ordered several newspapers, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, at different times, even people in the same country had different views.
He remembered that during the second Berlin Crisis in history, Britain was not like this at all. During the second Berlin Crisis, part of Britain's main position was to advocate withdrawing from West Berlin and sacrificing some German interests in exchange for the Soviet Union.
of reconciliation.
The problem is that even some people in Germany agree that it is the United States that insists on not giving in.
Unanimous support for Prime Minister Attlee certainly does not happen naturally. Of course, there are many media outlets in the UK that do not bow to the government. At this time, colleagues in Whitehall need to play their role.
Long before Prime Minister Attlee went to the House of Commons to express a strong stance, Whitehall established the themes of news reports and reviewed and managed the media. In order to ensure that publicity policies and reporting themes could be "faithfully implemented" by various newspapers and radio stations
and adopted", the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military government in Germany have done a lot of work.
For state-owned news propaganda agencies and media at all levels, the German Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Political Office of the Military Government in Germany have deployed a group of full-time press officers and intelligence personnel to supervise. For private media, especially those in British-occupied areas, in addition to strict
In addition to censoring news, it must also be controlled through economic means.
Active transport aircraft at major British air force bases are ready to take off. These pilots have been notified by Whitehall to give priority to delivering supplies to people working in newspapers and radio stations. Only these people can ensure that the people of West Berlin remain unwavering for the time being.
The garrison in West Berlin will distribute the air supplies according to this requirement after they arrive.
At this time, the liaison officer in Berlin, Eiffel, also received news control guidance from Whitehall, requiring him to ensure four points in his work. News reports should try their best to inspire people's hatred and disgust for the Soviet Union;
Second, vigorously publicize the harm caused by the blockade to ordinary people in West Berlin, in order to gain sympathy from world public opinion. Third, emphasize that the British government and people will fully assist the people of West Berlin. Fourth, news reports should consciously encourage the people of West Berlin to resist
The Soviet Union's oppression was unstoppable, even if it resulted in bloodshed. Level 4 tactics will never go out of style.
When the British transport planes flew to the German airport, the Attlee cabinet made a decision to recruit civil aviation aircraft to join the air transport. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to discuss the recruitment of transport planes from these countries to Europe.
, to supplement British air power.
Soon, Canberra, Cape Town, Ottawa, and Wellington responded one after another. Newfoundland is an important transit point for the United Kingdom in North America, and passenger flights from St. John's soon joined the ranks.
Later, Comet airliners with routes throughout British Africa also joined the ranks.
The Berlin Crisis led to a fierce reaction from the United Kingdom, which for a time occupied the pages of newspapers in all European countries. In particular, Canada, Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa directly responded to the British decision-making.
It was simply a reappearance of the First World War. Just seeing such reports made London citizens feel like the glorious era was back.
"I am invincible in the world!" At this time, Alan Wilson was preparing to leave for Paris. Before leaving, he did not forget to talk to his newly married wife. "If it doesn't work, fly to Australia and wait for the news. It is safer there after all."
."
At the critical moment, Alan Wilson expressed without hesitation his determination to run away if there was really a risk of world war.
The idea of living and dying together for the British Empire is just nonsense to fool ordinary people. It is okay to say it, but you are stupid to believe it.
"You haven't returned to Asia, and I won't leave either." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes flashed and she complained softly, "Why do you always go to dangerous places? Even if you want to return to Malaya to work, you won't
Someone said something."
"How can that be done? Do you want to be promoted if you don't participate in such an important matter?" Alan Wilson flatly refused, and then said, "Don't worry, McCarthy and I will go to Paris together and ask about the news of the US military first. Everything will be fine."
."
Although NATO has not yet appeared, it is only a matter of time. The headquarters of the military alliance has been decided to be in Paris.
When we arrived in Paris, it was the time when the Berlin Blockade and Britain transformed into the British Empire, summoning the Commonwealth countries to jointly invest in air power, and occupied the minds of Paris citizens.
