Princess Margaret has been very happy in Kuala Lumpur in the past few days. In her eyes, her brother-in-law still looks like a servant of the empire. Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess does not know that Alan Wilson is making an expedited shooting list.
However, her support for the French production plan was not hidden from her eyes, and her seriousness even made people question the nationality of the British Malaya Commissioner.
"Based on current comprehensive considerations, based on local resources and alliance relationships, from an international perspective, the UK should not stand aside and provide assistance within its capabilities. This is a mature and sound consideration."
Princess Margaret was struggling to operate the telegram, and there was a slight sweat on her forehead. She dared to use the princess to do labor for a small civil servant. She had no complaints. After finally completing the telegram, she took a deep breath and asked
, "Why should we help the French? You clearly said that the feasible route before France and even the UK is contraction."
"Why is Senator Churchill fighting the Germans?" Alan Wilson took a sip from his wine glass and said, "Now Britain owes the United States countless foreign debts, which have been exchanged and repaid for ten years. This account has been earned.
Or lost?"
"What do you mean?" Princess Margaret had a question mark on her head. She didn't know why her brother-in-law connected the two things together.
"Judging from the current results, Senator Churchill defeated Germany with the future of the British Empire. The world war has not yet ended, and Britain's hegemony has been lost. Is this good for us in the UK?"
Alan Wilson explained with a wry smile, "But who supported Churchill and the Germans in their struggle? Wasn't it a large group of people and a large group of powerful people? But then again, it was another group of people who supported Prime Minister Chamberlain's compromise.
The British and the powerful? We are an electoral country, and we should be familiar with this kind of policy in which some people coerce the entire country."
After seeing Princess Margaret, she still didn't understand. Alan Wilson could only continue, "The voices of war are often louder than the voices of peace, even if their numbers are not dominant. Nationalist slogans can easily inspire citizens to support the country.
The good thing about the situation the French are facing now is that the colonial resistance can be suppressed by public opinion, unlike when Prime Minister Chamberlain faced Hitler, who constantly humiliated Britain and inspired British public opinion to go to war."
Before World War II, Britain had already tried its best to avoid another world war due to the heavy losses in World War I. This was also the reason why Chamberlain's appeasement policy was supported.
However, the concessions that Britain can make are limited, especially not to betray France. The balance of power on the continent is the bottom line of British foreign policy. In other words, as long as France falls, war between Britain and Germany is inevitable.
Britain can accept a France that is weaker than Germany, but it cannot accept a France that does not even have the capital to compete with Germany.
Once France is defeated, it is inevitable that Britain will go to war personally. Unless some incomprehensible event occurs, Prime Minister Chamberlain waits until the Soviet-German war breaks out.
Germany and the Soviet Union went to war, and Chamberlain was still prime minister by chance. With Chamberlain's style, he would never burn himself to illuminate the United States and the Soviet Union like Churchill. There were two nationalities in Britain during the world war. One kind was thought by people like Chamberlain,
As long as a world war breaks out, Britain's hegemony will inevitably be lost, but the policy of appeasement is an unstable public opinion in the face of Germany's constant propaganda and humiliation.
Churchill, who was like a bull terrier, ruining Britain's future potential, could gain public support in a world war by promoting the glory of the British Empire.
In the end, the mainstream public opinion in Britain changed from supporting the appeasement policy to fighting against the Germans. After the fall of France, Germany's hope that it could still sign a treaty with Britain to maintain peace became wishful thinking.
Hitler did not understand that the bottom line of British appeasement had been exceeded by him personally. From that time on, it was a question of how to work but not to do anything. Churchill ruined the future of the entire British country together with Germany. In fact, there was no need to sell Britain so hard.
Clean.
"Are you saying that France today is facing the same situation as Britain at that time?" Princess Margaret listened to her brother-in-law's explanation and asked with some confusion, "Is that so?"
"The symptoms are similar, but the results are opposite. France now wants to wash away the shame of World War II and pour its military power into the colonies. It is the opposite of the previous British appeasement policy. In this case, the way to help the French is not to persuade
, Persuasion is useless. If you want to make the French calm down and think about peaceful ways to maintain the colonies, the only way is to help France make more adequate military preparations. If the French still lose in the end, let the French be convinced of their defeat.
, there are no excuses for failure. When the French are convinced to evacuate, we are talking to the French about how to unite and face the black hands of the United States and the Soviet Union."
While explaining the different countermeasures of Britain and France, Alan Wilson poured another glass, pushed it in front of Princess Margaret and asked proactively, "Would you like a glass?"
Reaching out to take the man's wine glass, Princess Margaret felt sweet in her heart. She took a sip and said, "Your idea is different from others, but I think it makes sense. Can't you tell the French directly?"
"What's the character of the French? Even if we have good intentions, they will be suspicious. Only if there are serious consequences will we have the opportunity to have a good talk with the French after they calm down."
Alan Wilson sighed and suddenly blurted out, "This is simply more difficult than communicating with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Margaret's face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and she said rather displeasedly, "You just look at me like this? How can I be so unreasonable?"
Seeing the aggrieved look on Her Royal Highness's face as if she wanted to leave, Alan Wilson still didn't ask what you thought he was asking, and said with a round face, "Recently, I have discovered that you still have room for improvement."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right!" Poor Tom was still being manipulated by the imperial civil servants. He immediately forgot his unhappiness and expressed his desire to make progress.
This has something to do with the royal family! Under Alan Wilson's righteous face, he still has no idea how to contact this princess in the future. The long-term relationship has not yet reached that point, and there is still a long way to go to find a way to get along with each other.
.
But after all, Alan Wilson is a person who understands all parts of the world better than me. He has enough topics in his mind to divert Princess Margaret's attention, leaving behind the almost-finished book of unsolved mysteries of the world.
Fool the princess.
On the other hand, he is still paying attention to the issue of claims against Japan. As long as it can slow down the pace of Japan's development, Alan Wilson will not care about it. Without Hokkaido, Japanese agriculture will collapse. The establishment of the Self-Defense Force will increase military expenditures.
There will be less funds for industrial upgrading, and the issue of claims is also a money issue.
At the same time, he tried his best to use the large-scale offensive prepared by France this year to put the entire British Malaya in full working mode. At this time, no longer care about whether it is human blood steamed buns.
The war between France and North Vietnam has reached a stalemate. At this time, France's idea of reviving its colonies has not been shattered.
The current war in France and the later war in the United States can actually be regarded as a whole, but they are at different stages of development.
The help that Britain is now providing to France, if it takes the opportunity to get a few positive examples of combat, may increase the confidence of the United States to intervene to a certain extent.
Even Alan Wilson has already thought about the propaganda, which is nothing more than some insulting jokes to prove that the French can't attack Vietnam! The Americans can!
The most valuable part of the business empire controlled by his wife Pamela Mountbatten has nothing to do with the British mainland. Among them, iron ore is the top priority. Soon, she returned to Asia from Europe.
The value of any raw material will be greatly reduced if there is no suitable production base to manufacture it. This can be seen from the fact that precious metals in the Spanish Empire pushed up the cost of industrial development, but instead allowed the industries of other European countries to develop.
come out.
Currently, the colony planned by Britain to share local industry and military expenditures is under the management of her husband. Of course, Pamela Mountbatten dare not ignore it.
Malaya is in the middle of summer all year round, which also promotes the rapid development of British air-conditioning companies. Of course, the foundation of all this is the hard work of 10 million people in British Malaya.
"I believe that in a few years, the three-piece wedding suites of Malayan subjects may have air conditioning." In the office of the Commissioner's Office, the couple who were tired of being together talked to each other, and Alan Wilson held his wife sitting on his lap.
My wife rubs her ears and temples together.
"Margaret didn't cause you any trouble?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, hooking her husband's neck.
"People should grow up. I hope they won't be like before." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, put away his ugly face and said, "The raw materials in your hands will pass through Malaya after doing so much for Britain."
The industrial layout that has entered the right track will become more valuable."
"It's all thanks to you. You made all this wealth. I'm just the one who gets the praise." Pamela Mountbatten kissed her husband softly with a tender look on her face. "I heard that the French are making big moves. Some news.
Say you are willing to help, what do the Cabinet and Whitehall think?"
"On the colonial issue, the power of the overseas commissioners is quite stable. As long as the result is good, everything is good." Alan Wilson patted his wife's butt and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if my dear will bring it up?"
What good news is coming?"
"Japan has decided to discuss compensation issues in Canberra with Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and the Philippines. Is this good news?" Pamela Mountbatten lowered her voice and said, "I know you are concerned about this matter. I will get the exact news immediately.
