British civil servant

"Alan, what are you laughing at?" Burgess asked strangely when he saw the strange look on Alan Wilson's face.

"Eh!" Alan Wilson, who bowed his head, wiped the corners of his eyes, choking 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.

Chapter 6 and Seven

If it wasn't for him, he would have worked with him. Knowing what Alan Wilson did in British India, he really believed in the words of this imperialism.

At this moment, Vivien Leigh, who was resting in the hotel, sneezed, the Dragoon sisters in Bonn looked calm, and Woodpecker Films 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 also partly agreed with Alan Wilson.

"Maybe it will be stronger than Britain in the future." Alan Wilson said half-seriously.

"Impossible!" Burgess flatly denied, "Alan, do you know what you're talking about? On the level of Japan?"

"I know, Portugal's level." Alan Wilson signaled to be calm, and took back the words, "I was just joking."

Unexpectedly, this Soviet spy was also a person who loved the motherland. Alan Wilson couldn't say anything.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. What Alan Wilson just said is the level that Japan may reach in the future.As for Burgess, of course he doesn't know the future. The Japan in the eyes of the ambassador to Japan is really at the level of Portugal.

Japan's national strength and military strength are considered outstanding in Asia. In Europe, there is only one advantage that is certain, and that is population.The equipment of the Japanese army is far inferior to that of Poland, the Czech Republic, and the Iberian Peninsula before the war.

The only thing Japan can rely on is that its soldiers may endure hardships and stand hard work, and its national strength cannot be compared with Britain at all.Take all the tanks of Japan's World War II together, and the total production is no more than [-].

In [-] during the First World War, the British Expeditionary Force in Europe was equipped with [-] tanks at the same time.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 dominating Japan.

Not on the same channel as the ambassador to Japan, Alan Wilson changed the topic, saying that he came to Tokyo to discuss the repatriation of prisoners of war. At the same time, he also represented the prisoners of war in the hands of the Netherlands, Australia, and Portugal.

"So that's the case!" Burgess finally stopped worrying about whether Japan and Britain could be compared, and asked, "Have we communicated? There are no problems with several countries."

"No problem, it's almost enough to use it." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Australia was the toughest, and now it agrees."

"World War II really had a great impact on Australia." Burgess nodded solemnly, "You must have done a lot of persuasion work, and it must not be easy."

"Australia is fine." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, saying that it didn't take much spit.

The allocation of top resource countries on the fifth planet is a joke, no matter how Australia jumps in the foreseeable future.There are never too bad days.

In fact, the retention of British Malaya can prevent Australia from going the other way.Australians who believe that blood is thicker than water, once faced with threats from Asia, will exceed Australia's own national strength.

Alan Wilson can imagine a possibility, that is, Australia has public opinion to merge with the United States.

Regardless of the situation in the 21st century, Australia may indeed be hijacked by a big country economically and become a satellite country.

But obviously Australia is not prepared to force anyone to go, but to stand unswervingly by the United States. It can even be imagined that there is no other way, and Australia can merge with the United States.

Among the Five Eyes Alliance, Australia is the most convinced that blood is thicker than water, and there is absolutely 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 confrontation policy of the United States.Such words can be said, and the merger is by no means a fantasy.

Currently facing Japan, Alan Wilson knows clearly that Australia still has hatred for Japan.The job he's doing now is to keep the hatred in Australia as long as possible, leaning more toward less hateful Malaya among American-occupied Japan and British-occupied Malaya.

Now he believes that it can be said that Malaya has the support of almost all places where the entire British Empire can still maintain influence.In addition to the population size, the conditions should be no worse than those of Japan, which lost Hokkaido.

Through the embassy, ​​Burgess got in touch with George Sturtmeyer, commander of the Far East Air Force.In fact, the scale of the war on the peninsula this time must be larger than in history, because there is a Soviet air force base in Hokkaido.

When Allen Wilson saw the commander of the Far East Air Force, he took the initiative to say that he had come to Japan specially to express his apology.At the same time, the repatriation work was officially launched, which required the friendly help of the US military stationed in Japan.

"The current status of Japan is becoming more and more important, and our close allies such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Australia also believe that the past hatred can be temporarily put aside."

Alan Wilson made a magnanimous gesture and said, "General George, what do you think?"

Although the opponent is a first-line general, Alan Wilson is not very afraid. Mountbatten is also a lieutenant general now, and he will be a proper general when he becomes the commander of the large fleet according to the procedure.

"Oh, Commissioner Wilson, thank you allies for their support. The current situation in Japan has initially stabilized, but the threat of the Soviet Union in Hokkaido does exist." Lieutenant General George Sturtmeyer expressed his gratitude for the support of his allies, saying that Japan and the U.S. military must be happy to see the results.

"Oh, the hateful Soviets." Allen Wilson expressed a common position with a heavy face.Forget for a moment that at the embassy, ​​he himself was ecstatic about the Soviet occupation of Hokkaido, otherwise?It is not conducive to the development and consolidation of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

After all, Hokkaido was the second largest island in Japan before, and it was also an island that Japan fully occupied very late. It is naturally sparsely populated. Alan Wilson is a little strange. It seems that East Asia's performance in ocean exploration is very average.

China on the mainland is justifiable. Japan, itself surrounded by the ocean, did not expand to the Ryukyu Islands until the [-]th century, which is considered very late.

For a long time, the Japanese kept going around Honshu, and the efficiency of occupying Hokkaido was very low.Well now, Hokkaido was occupied by the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson raised a possibility in front of Lieutenant General George Sturtmeyer, "Have you communicated with Hokkaido? How did the Soviets respond?"

"No response!" George Sturtmeyer said with a wry smile, "Now that a war has broken out, there is no response."

"I have to consider the possibility that the Soviet Union will eventually choose to annex Hokkaido." Alan Wilson said with a heavy face, "With the character of the Russians, this situation is very likely to happen."

This is definitely not alarmist talk. 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 powerful navy to defend Hokkaido at this stage. It is very likely that they will choose to do nothing and directly annex Hokkaido.

I just don't know what opportunity will appear in a short time and be used by the Soviet Union. Once this opportunity appears, Japan will officially say goodbye to Hokkaido.

"In fact, we have similar concerns. If that is the case, the situation will be bad. Some opinions believe that Japan should be armed immediately, and 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.

Allen Wilson has already made a decision in his heart. Today's conversation must not be said to Burgess, otherwise Moscow will know.

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 the loss of Hokkaido cannot be compared with the four northern islands. Hokkaido can really be used as a forward position to attack Japan.

It can be said that the straits between Hokkaido and Honshu can be said to be so that tigers can swim across them.This is definitely not a joke. The tiger's swimming ability is enough to pass through a strait that is about the same width as the Strait of Malacca. The evidence is the existence of the Sumatran tiger.

After consolidating the special relationship between Britain and the United States, according to the plan, Alan Wilson should meet Hayato Ikeda.But he still decided to sleep with Vivien Leigh before thinking about it.

The war on the peninsula was given a boost by the Japanese economy, and geographically Japan served as the rear base of the peninsula.Thanks to the war investment of the United States, it can be regarded as getting rid of the embarrassment of not being able to eat.

However, due to differences in details, such as the Hokkaido issue, the United States is not going to support Japan first, but wants Japan to defend itself as soon as possible and save the US military's expenses.

Alan Wilson certainly thinks it is a good thing, so that Japan will not be so strong in subsidizing import and export substitution costs.

He knows that Britain's military expenditure accounts for the proportion of fiscal expenditure, and it is certainly impossible for Japan to get rid of military restrictions.But even a little more investment in military spending will cause financial pressure.

In front of Hayato Ikeda, Alan Wilson, who was sitting on the ground, almost failed to manage his expression, turning his apology into gloating.

"The Japanese government should take the initiative to protest against Moscow. If you don't speak out, how can other countries help Japan speak?" Alan Wilson was talking about the repatriation of prisoners of war. Attack on pain points.

Hokkaido is now a pain for the whole of Japan. The loss of overseas territories, even the Korean Peninsula, can only be said to have spit out all the achievements of previous expansion, but Hokkaido was already Japan’s territory during the Shogunate period, and the Japanese felt that it was lost. Distressed.

Even Hayato Ikeda's humility and politeness disappeared after hearing Alan Wilson's words.In front of Alan Wilson, who almost failed in expression management, first of all, expression management failed.

Chapter 6 The Hatoyama Family

Hayato Ikeda was very reluctant to talk about this topic, but the British guy insisted on it, and replied, "Mr. Hatoyama Ichiro has been working on a breakthrough in relations with the Soviet Union."

"It seems that he was replaced by Shigeru Yoshida because of the idea of ​​reconciliation with China and the Soviet Union, right? Americans will not make the mistakes that Britain once made." Alan Wilson made a look of sudden realization, and reminded the other party not to Deviating from the route drawn up by the US military stationed in Japan.

Before World War II, Britain can be said to have been bitten by Japan, which has always supported it, but it is different now.With the presence of the US military stationed in Japan, Alan Wilson can conclude that no matter how hard Japan struggles, it will not be out of control.

Hatoyama Ichiro, whom Ikeda spoke of, was the first president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. The Liberal Party won the first general election after the war and became the largest party in parliament. According to the conventions of parliamentary politics, the new cabinet should be organized by the largest party in parliament. , That is to say, the post of prime minister is none other than Hatoyama, and Hatoyama himself is intensively preparing to form a cabinet.

However, unforeseen circumstances, just as the emperor was preparing to issue the routine procedures for Hatoyama's cabinet formation, the occupying army authorities issued a purge order to expel Hatoyama from his official position.

It is said that it was because Ichiro Hatoyama signed a book before the war, praising Hitler and Mussolini.

The reason why Hatoyama Ichiro has come out again now is because it has been found out that it was someone else's work.Anyway, according to Allen Wilson, there is a conspiracy in it, and it is definitely because the occupying forces are not satisfied with Ichiro Hatoyama.

Hatoyama has a straightforward personality and is not good at strategy, which is in stark contrast to Yoshida Shigeru.After Hatoyama was dismissed from public office, the Liberal Party did not have a suitable candidate to take over the position of president. However, if the president cannot be elected, a cabinet cannot be formed, and the power will fall into the hands of other political parties.

So Hatoyama urgently invited Shigeru Yoshida into the party, let Yoshida take the top spot, and organized the first Yoshida cabinet.

Yoshida said that if Hatoyu resumes his official duties, he is willing to hand over his powers at any time.

According to the descendants of the Hatoyama family in later generations, they were not among the Liberal Democratic Party. Alan Wilson can conclude that people like Shigeru Yoshida must have broken with the Hatoyama family.

Because in the 21st century, Yukio Hatoyama ran as the leader of the Democratic Party, the Hatoyama family should have already left the Liberal Democratic Party.

Regarding the opinions on the repatriation of prisoners of war, after mentioning Hokkaido's mention of the US military stationed in Japan, Allen Wilson, who was in a good mood, informed Ikeda Hayato's plan to repatriate prisoners of war.And said that this is the common attitude of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Portugal and Australia.

"Mr. Ikeda, you must not understand how difficult it is to convince Australians." Seeing Hayato Ikeda's hesitation, Alan Wilson added a bit of fire, "I heard that the Philippines is also looking for trouble with Japan. If you China does not want to support the Philippines on the issue of post-war compensation, so we can express Japan's opinion, so we can see whether we disagree or disagree..."

Now Allen Wilson just feels that it is really hard to talk to the Japanese. Anyway, the final result will not change. Is the process of struggling meaningful?Isn't it obvious that the United States will offend so many allies because of Japan?

"We need to communicate with the Prime Minister!" Hayato Ikeda said, expressing his intention to follow the procedure.

"If there is no communication, our repatriation work has also started. The four countries are repatriating at the same time." Alan Wilson pointed out Hayato Ikeda's attempt to delay time. They are all old bureaucrats, so don't do that kind of useless work.

Is there any country in this world that can play bureaucracy in front of the UK?Regardless of whether the Japanese government agrees or disagrees, the repatriation work must begin immediately. The difference is that the British take the initiative to load the prisoners of war and openly disgust Japan, or the Japanese government takes the initiative, which may reduce Japan's social security problems in the future. .

People who don't know think that Alan Wilson is not British, but an official of the US military stationed in Japan.

However, with the current international status of Japan, he really does not need to be polite to the Japanese. His words clearly reached the ears of Hayato Ikeda through Ichiro Ozawa's translation.

"Mr. Wilson, I will give you an answer tomorrow." Hayato Ikeda gave the answer in silence for a long time.

"That couldn't be better. I'll wait for the good news." Alan Wilson stood up and said goodbye with a slight smile. He felt that he had done enough. Sitting on the ground was taking care of the habits of the Japanese. What else could he think? ?

Standing up to say goodbye, Alan Wilson, who walked out of the official residence, got into the car prepared by the embassy, ​​and his translator Ichiro Ozawa followed, and at the same time thanked, "Mr. Condition."

"Oh, it's easy to do, Mr. Ozawa. Does the tone of my words just now cause you displeasure?" Alan Wilson nodded, and at the same time asked Ichiro Ozawa how he felt when he was interpreting Hayato Ikeda.

Ichiro Ozawa hesitated to speak, and finally said, "We are defeated, and everything is normal now."

"By the way, you are Japanese, help me understand the situation of Ichiro Hatoyama." Alan Wilson's body swayed with the ups and downs of the car on the road.

"Uh, Mr. Wilson, do you think the current state of Japan is considered a colony?" Ichiro Ozawa seemed very embarrassed, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Oh, telling the truth is fine. And in the foreseeable future, this state cannot be escaped." Alan Wilson said truthfully, and did not take care of the other party's emotions just because the other party was Japanese.

The United States in the 21st century, according to a more Chinese narrative, should be called the United States and North Korea.Europe, Japan, and South Korea can be regarded as foreign vassals, the Five Eyes Alliance including the United Kingdom can be regarded as internal vassals, and the presence of US military bases is considered a territory. The United States and North Korea are three-fifths of the earth, an unprecedented empire.

Of course, this also leads to a problem. Even if the U.S. government wants to shrink, the U.S. military does not want to shrink. Millions of waterworkers need food and clothing. Why should they shrink? America in the 21st century is far less resilient than it was during the Cold War.

After the failure of the Vietnam War, the United States during the Carter period, the United States really pretended to be a grandson for several years. In the 21st century America, just the idea of ​​contraction has been discussed for two presidents.

Alan Wilson, who returned to the embassy, ​​contacted the Netherlands, Portugal, and Australia through the embassy to announce today's conversation, and then left the embassy immediately. As a person who has both public and private interests, he wanted to accompany the national treasure to read the script.

Vivien Leigh is really looking for young Japanese actors and plans to sign them to be responsible for overseas market development.After inquiring about it, I found out that Vivien Leigh had done similar work when she went to Xiangjiang before.

"Vivienne, you don't want to create an entertainment trust, do you?" With one hand on Vivien Leigh's shoulder, Alan Wilson's eyes rested on the photos in Vivien Leigh's hands, all of which are from the current Japanese entertainment industry. Of course, it's normal for him not to know the photos of the actors, and it's true that all the handsome men and women are beautiful.

Finally, her eyes fell on the last photo, and at the same time, Vivien Leigh stopped to look at it, and twisted her shoulders as if asking for advice, "What do you think of this?"

"It's beautiful!" Looking at the photo named Kaoru Yachikusa, Allen Wilson sighed sincerely. The aesthetics of the East and the West are actually similar, and there is no obvious difference.The Chinese also like Hepburn and Monroe. He was not a Westerner in his previous life, but he also knows that Korean girl groups also have their own fan circles in Europe and America.

The signature of Korean girl groups is boldness and sexiness. Although there are many members who have plastic surgery, European and American fans are also flocking to them.

"I also think it's beautiful!" Vivien Leigh approved, and explained, "In fact, Hollywood's ceiling for women only needs to be reflected in salary, but in terms of tolerance, women actually have an advantage over men."

"Are you talking about the red sofa?" Alan Wilson begged for mercy when he saw Da Yingbao's expression remained unchanged as soon as he spoke, "I was wrong. I meant a native American actor."

"Are you like many people, do you look down on us actors?" Vivien Leigh glanced at Alan Wilson with her bright eyes, "You can't ignore a person's efforts just because he is good-looking."

"I seem to think that someone is praising me for looking good?" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, staring at Vivien Leigh and getting closer. The atmosphere is already in place. Let's take a domestic car test drive first. explain.

The photos were scattered all over the floor, the room was full of cheers, and a Tokyo love story was being staged.

Alan Wilson waited for a whole day the next day, but he didn't get a reply from Ikeda Hayato. He immediately understood that it is absolutely impossible not to put some pressure on the bureaucracy group.

Alan Wilson, who was already a senior bureaucrat as part of the civil servants of the British Empire, obtained information about Ichiro Hatoyama at this time.

Just before his comeback, Hatoyama Ichiro strongly advocated amending the constitution, rebuilding armaments, carrying out "independent diplomacy" and restoring diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union.He denounced Shigeru Yoshida's statement that even if he has a security force or even a garrison, he should not have a regular army as "the white horse is not a horse theory", and openly proposed that on the basis of amending Article [-] of the Constitution, the self-defense armed force should be rebuilt in a legitimate way.

He also advocated the normalization of Japan-Soviet relations in order to gain international recognition for Japan's independence, avoid using Japan as a battlefield during the US-Soviet war.

"Amend Article [-] of the Constitution? Isn't this Abe's idea?" Alan Wilson looked at the information, full of Jin San's sense of sight.

The difference is that Ichiro Hatoyama obviously wants to get rid of the situation of being occupied by the US military.It's no wonder that it was destroyed by the occupying army authorities. If this is realized, wouldn't the US Pacific War be for nothing?What's more, Ichiro Hatoyama's views in Japan are similar to those of Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in in South Korea.

Leaving aside this matter, since the current government is looking for foreign workers, he will find Ichiro Hatoyama. The country elected is good, and the opposition can take advantage of it at any time.

Chapter 6 and nine

Alan Wilson felt that he had been neglected in a defeated country, so he naturally remembered the diplomatic tradition of the British Empire, euphemistically called hoeing the strong and helping the weak, such memories of velvet, jasmine, tulips, roses, this spring and that spring , all rushing to my heart.

As a bureaucrat regarded as reliable by Whitehall, this should be a necessary skill. Regardless of success or not, one should accumulate relevant experience, which may be useful in the future.

According to this naming rule, Alan Wilson felt that the meeting he was going to meet with Ichiro Hatoyama could be regarded as a precursor to the Sakura Revolution. Starting with the issue of repatriating prisoners of war, he could see the quality of this senior Abe.

"Honey, this is an American place." As Vivien Leigh's pillow, Alan Wilson has nothing to hide from women.

Although Great Britain Treasure has nothing to do with the bureaucratic system, I instinctively feel that this is impossible to succeed. This is not a British overseas territory, but the rear of the United States where the war is going on. Alan Wilson will not succeed.

"Who is going to succeed? We have nothing to lose if we don't succeed." Alan Wilson said without changing his face, "Even if Japan is only slightly affected, it is the success of British Malaya. We must promote the development of British overseas territories as soon as possible." Rise up, and at the same time wait for an opportunity to break a Japanese leg, even if you can't do it, it's good to slip."

With the presence of the US military stationed in Japan, Alan Wilson certainly didn't think that a decisive victory thousands of miles away could cause a big country with a population of 8000 million to change color.It's really too much, and the US military stationed in Japan will definitely stop it.
