Chapter 139: Ready to go

"Can't let me bleed and cry!" Alan Wilson leaned into Isabella Pokina's ear and whispered, "Honey, I'll serve you well tonight." ”

In order to realize his ambition of killing two birds with one stone, Alan Wilson felt that now was not the time to be stingy with physical strength, and age gave Alan Wilson inflated capital, and as a member of the British occupation zone, it gave him spiritual satisfaction.

Is this the treatment of the victorious country, just like the US military is occupying Japan, fighting desperately for the country for many years, is it just to show that the beacon of humanity has not committed any offense against you?

Even if the body is at its peak, it can't do physical labor all night, probably because of the approval received from Isabella Popina, and today's Alan Wilson is very energetic.

In his spare time, he talked to Isabella Pokina about Japan's surrender, "It is estimated that now that the Americans have nuclear bombs in their hands, they will not let the remaining Japanese territories fall into the hands of the Soviets." The Soviet Union's maritime power is still a little weaker, and if nuclear bombs are not considered, the Soviet Army, together with the Navy of the British Empire, is qualified to negotiate terms with the Americans, but this is fine. ”

"Are the Soviets so strong? We, Germany, almost captured Moscow. Isabella Pokina asked without a trace as she circled Alan Wilson's chest with her fingertips.

"You Germany are far behind, and that's not a problem that Moscow can solve at all." Alan Wilson thought that the dragoons were not convinced, but it was also true, if Germany became a victorious country, the two young dragoons would still be taken advantage of by themselves today?

Maybe it was the Germans who flaunted their might in Britain, but considering the national feelings of women, Alan Wilson didn't say what was in his heart, but only said that Germany was not as close to victory as some people imagined.

Pulling away from the topic, Alan Wilson talked about his thoughts on Hokkaido's status, saying that it was Japan's agricultural production area, and when it fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, Japan's shortcomings as a country became even more obvious. The island of Honshu was occupied by the U.S. military, and Japan was destined to have a hard time in the future.

In fact, the situation in Germany is similar, except that it is not as obvious as Japan, and Japan, which lost Hokkaido in terms of area, is the same as the Federal Republic of Germany, which later merged with the occupation areas of Britain, the United States and France, and is more than 200,000 square kilometers.

Japan and Germany have already managed to slim down in this time and space, and unlike the Federal Republic of Germany, Germany's industrial base and resources are all in one place, and Japan has few poor resources, and a large share is in Hokkaido.

In this way, when it comes time for the United States to transfer industries, the Japanese will have to work harder than they have historically been, and there will be many additional hidden costs. It takes more hard work to achieve the historical rise effect.

Hokkaido is rich in minerals, and the island is home to Japan's largest coal mine, accounting for more than half of Japan's coal reserves and production. The already scarce oil resources are also found in Hokkaido, which is also an important source of sulfur in Japan.

With Hokkaido, Japan theoretically still has some resources, and without Hokkaido it is even theoretically gone. The share of imports of grain, coal, sulfur and many other resources will only increase further.

Japan's shortcomings will be more serious, and the ensuing result is that when Americans feel that they have fattened up and want to kill pigs, it will be easier, and even if Japan wants to rise, it will have to work harder.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the British Empire, and British Malaya after the filing of British India may be able to bring back a little competitive advantage and share a little dividend of industrial transfer.

Now the military and political chiefs of British India are working hard for this goal, and General Mountbatten, who is above the top, cannot snatch the halo of Emperor Mak as the protagonist on the issue of Japan's surrender.

But with Sir Barron's advice, he soon found a target to threaten, and the ambiguous Thailand of Japan. British India had sent a negotiating team to Bangkok to decide to engage in a constructive dialogue over Thailand's inglorious role during the war.

In the eyes of British India, Thailand was a complete Japanese client state, if not Germany-Austria. It is also the relationship between Finland and Germany, even Finland wants to cede land to the Soviet Union, and it is too much to say that Thailand wants to retreat completely.

It was not enough to return the land obtained from Britain and France as colonies during the war, and there was no punitive effect at all, and the British delegation had already made it clear at the time of departure that the Kra Isthmus must be in hand.

The southern part of Thailand's land is between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and its narrowest point is just over 10 kilometers. To the south is the Strait of Malacca, known as the "Crossroads of the Sea", through which nearly a quarter of the world's free trade now passes.

Thailand's independence was the result of the mercy of Britain and France, but instead of being grateful, Thailand supported Japan in the war, to the detriment of the interests of the British Empire.

With the United States already seeing Japan as a forbidden country, the British Empire decisively changed its goal, and set its next target on Thailand, and had prepared a series of harsh conditions, the ultimate target being the Kra Isthmus.

The British delegation that arrived in Bangkok, before they had even begun their blackmail, received a telegram of concern from Sir Barron.

Sir Barron, who had received Alan Wilson's telegram, had been informed of the share of tobacco revenues that the eminent civil servants of British India had prepared for themselves, and then, with the support of the governors of the seventeen provinces of British India, who had also received a share of tobacco revenues, expressed concern about the role of the Thai government in World War II.

During the war, taking advantage of France's preoccupation in Europe, Thailand demanded the return of Thailand's original territories to France, and in a subsequent memorandum to France, Thailand could annex Laos and Cambodia if France's colonies in Southeast Asia were dissolved.

But these demands were rejected by France. The troops of both sides continued to provoke and friction on the border, and finally fought a big fight.

I believe that the French, who are holding back their strength, have not forgotten the scene of being humiliated by Thailand during the war. Even Thailand dares to show martial virtue in front of France?

In addition to France, Britain could also borrow from a major Asian power, and Thai troops also attacked their northern neighbor during the war.

The British delegation that arrived in Bangkok, after meeting with the representatives of the Thai government, directly stated that the imperial army, with Indians as the main force, was ready to punish Thailand for provocations and conflicts against Britain, France, and China during the war.

At the same time, he said that even the Americans could not exonerate Thailand's crimes at this time, and that this was not just a problem of the British Empire, but involved three important members of the Allied Powers.

Alan Wilson, of course, was also trying to help his colleagues in British India, suggesting in a telegram that the finger should be pointed at the royal family, and he knew a little about Thailand, and he also knew that Thailand was already hugging the thighs of the Americans.

However, now that Britain is moving very quickly, and the surrender of many places in Southeast Asia has not yet ended, the Americans cannot trouble Britain and France, whose vanguard has already reached Asia, at this time.

Moreover, the Thais put the blame on the military, but Alan Wilson knew that the real threat was the Thai royal family. There is public opinion in Thailand about the death of Thailand's 10th generation, and using this to threaten the Thai royal family may have unexpected effects.

There is a well-known legend in Thailand that comes from a curse. Its content is that the succession of the king of Thailand must not be passed on to the tenth generation, which means that the Keri dynasty will end before the tenth generation.

The British delegation arrived directly in Bangkok, and at the same time was known to the Americans in Bangkok, and it was quickly reported to the US military leadership, and at the same time to Washington, and the American diplomats in Bangkok did not do anything for the time being.

Prepare to wait and see what the British have for the purpose of fully occupying Thailand and making Thailand another British, or a colony divided by Britain and France, will definitely be resisted by the United States.

But the Americans also knew that this time the British were menacing and seemed to have prepared. For the time being, because the conflict between Thailand and the British is not wise, there are still many places in Southeast Asia where the surrender ceremony has not yet ended.

Under various factors, the American diplomats in Bangkok chose to wait and see what happened for the time being.

The news that came immediately after that made the diplomats of the American embassy frown slightly, and the news that the British, in the name of Britain, France, China, and the three important members of the Allied Powers, demanded that Thailand explain its hostile behavior against the Allied Powers during the war spread throughout Bangkok.

Everyone in Thailand hopes that the United States will come out to mediate at this time, but the US Embassy is sending a telegram.

Because time is too sensitive, the British, who do not benefit from Japan, may not rest on their laurels, and two other countries are involved, which will have to wait for a call back from Washington.

In Bonn, Alan Wilson had done his best to get the Kra Isthmus, and in Bonn he received a telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was sent by Alexander Cadogan, saying that the conference on the European economic recovery to be held in Brussels had been scheduled for September 14, and that Alan Wilson was ready to arrive in Brussels at a time of his own choosing.

The nominal Conference on the Economic Recovery of Europe was nothing more than a meeting of a group of European colonial powers to discuss countermeasures after the war. Alan Wilson knows this, and it is better than the colonial powers fighting alone. A lot of things can be said at the conference.

Alan Wilson, who had already made it clear about the next stage of work, was ready to set off again, and said to Isabella Pokina, "How is it, did Anna agree?" ”
