"That's so thankful." Alan Wilson touched Burgess with his glass, and said with a smirk, "I have always thought that the relationship between Cambridge and Oxford is actually a symbiotic relationship, if the two universities do not see each other as benchmarks." There will be no common ground, as is the case in the current international situation. ”

"It's a very new idea." Burgess said meaningfully, knowing that Alan Wilson was referring to the United States and the Soviet Union, "maybe." ”

"But I also think that triangles have stability. If I only distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, it is likely to be a repetition of the two world wars, and for this reason I am willing to defend the Empire's claims with full enthusiasm. ”

It's actually quite interesting to talk to a spy, Burgess doesn't know that Alan Wilson knows that he is a spy, and likewise he doesn't know that the imperialist supporters in front of him are not very interested in the United States.

In turn, Alan Wilson did not know why Burgess was serving the Soviet Union, and his copper-smelling head could not understand the existence of idealists.

Alan Wilson, who received the important reception task from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, did not completely abandon his work. Still in close contact with New Delhi, he received good news yesterday.

That's the cession of the Kra Isthmus, oh no, it's that the transfer negotiations are already on the table.

In the aftermath of the Brussels conference, the six countries of the Brussels Conference showed an atmosphere of European solidarity, and even Belgium, which had little to do with it, was willing to join in the solidarity movement to return to Asia.

Not to mention the urgent need to integrate into the international community at this time and to change Spain's total isolation.

The positive effect is still very obvious, the sharpening of knives on the European side, and the surrender of British troops in various parts of Thailand's periphery, make Thailand understand that the old imperialism in Europe may not be as strong as before, but it is still so strong in front of Thailand.

Even the U.S. embassy in Bangkok can only do as much as possible to preserve Thailand's main interests from harm, and the Americans cannot be expected to do more at this time.

At present, the United States is suspicious of the Soviet Union because of the affairs of the Korean Peninsula and Hokkaido, and the unity during the world war is gradually fading, and the United States still needs the declining aristocracy of Britain and France to give a certain amount of support at this time.

What's more, Britain didn't want the whole of Thailand, but just an isthmus extending from southern Thailand. The Kra Isthmus is certainly valuable, but it depends on how to look at it.

The military value of the narrow Kra Isthmus is self-evident, but the Kra Isthmus is actually occupied by two places, showing a dog-tooth situation, one side is of course Thailand, and the other side is British Burma.

The Kra Isthmus is 50 kilometers at its narrowest point, but the isthmus on the border between British Burma and Thailand is only 20 kilometers, and if troops were sent from British Burma, it would be easy to cut off the connection between Thailand mainland and the south.

Because of the existence of British Burma, part of the Kra Isthmus itself was in British hands. This gave a discount to the military value of the Kra Isthmus, and when the Americans considered it, they thought that even if they tried to keep it, the initiative was in the hands of the British.

This made the United States, which currently has diplomatic frictions with the Soviet Union on the Korean Peninsula and in Hokkaido, not very concerned.

Thailand, which has lost the support of the Americans, is powerless in the face of Britain and France, and Britain and France have publicly announced that they should consider holding democratic elections in Thailand, discussing whether to retain the Thai royal family, and return the country to the Thai people.

This is very embarrassing for the Americans, who hate democratic elections in the period just after World War II, because the world is devastated, and it is likely that a pro-Soviet country will be elected after election.

However, it is difficult for the United States to openly say that the United States opposes the emergence of democratic elections in Thailand and can only communicate with the Thai royal family and military. The Kra Isthmus was transferred to appease Thailand's disrespect to Britain and France during the war.

All in all, the Kra Isthmus was in hand, and in exchange Britain and France did not pursue Thailand's disrespect for the civilized world during the war, nor did they insist that Thailand was a relationship with Japan and Austria with Germany.

The ownership of the Kra Isthmus was settled, the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in a state of jubilation, and the glorious era returned.

I am obviously at the peak of Great Britain, and I can fight for another 300 years, how can I just quit, "the border of the British Empire is ...... in the Himalayas" I don't know who said this, which aroused the approval of colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Before leaving for San Francisco, the Kra Isthmus was settled, which emboldened Alexander Cadogan.

Alan Wilson was not excited, but Thailand was really suspected of being in contact with Japan during the war, and was seized by Britain to play on the pretext, and in the context of the complete victory of the Allies over the Axis powers, even the Soviet Union could not dispute this.

After all, now Austria and even Finland are under the influence of the interests of the Soviet Union, and once the double standard is shown on the issue of Thailand, then on the issue of Austria and Finland, the United States may seize the opportunity to feed.

This is what the Soviet Union is trying its best to avoid now, and even the Soviet Union, which has been looking for trouble, pretends not to see it, and it is even more difficult for the United States to tear its skin and go against Britain and France at such a critical time.

The overlord of the nascent world still has to show the ideal of a dragon slayer warrior for a while, and it is not yet the time for the brave to become a dragon.

So, Thailand was sacrificed in this matter. And it's not about annexing Thailand, it's just about letting Thailand hand over the places where pacifists live in the south, maybe it can also maintain stability in Thailand and reduce religious conflicts, what's wrong with that?

It really fits the definition of back-to-light! When the British Empire's colonies were most extensive, not in the glorious Victorian era, but after the tragic First World War, Britain and France divided the territories of Germany and the Ottoman Empire, each reaching the largest colony.

And this time, Britain forced Thailand to cede the Kra Isthmus after the war, whether it was a trick or not, whether it was because of the friction between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Far East, it was done anyway.

As long as nothing too embarrassing happens, within ten years, the tiger frame of the British Empire will not fall so quickly in the eyes of a wide range of third world countries.

Alan Wilson congratulated Alexander Cadogan, who was about to depart, and in the context of the current great victory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very happy, and said encouragingly, "Alan, you are also very happy. After all, this was done with the cooperation of British India. ”

"We are all in the service of the Empire, and there is no distinction between the Indian Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the work of the two departments is inherently similar." Alan Wilson was modest, and then changed his words, "Sir Alexander, if you can give some courtesy to the two small countries of Sikkim and Bhutan at the San Francisco Conference, I believe that the people of South Asia will be happy." The Indian Ministry also needs to woo these two small countries. ”

"I know that very well." Alexander Cadogan said with a gentle smile, "Isn't it right to embarrass the current indigenous Indian elite?" ”

"Sir Alexander, I don't have that in mind." Alan Wilson shook his head and said he had absolutely no ill will towards Indians, "and with the face of Indians, I doubt they have such a mentality of embarrassment." ”

In 1945, the British Empire was still in full swing, and placing Bhutan and Sikkim as founding members of the United Nations at this time was a form of protection. Also convenient for future interventions!

There will certainly be some kind of obstacle to the future of India's annexation of Sikkim.

Do not think that the United States has no idea about India, and if India develops smoothly, it will pose a threat to the United States. The United States has long since brought out the Sikkim royal family in exile in the United States and made trouble for India.

Two days later, Alexander Cadogan left London and went to San Francisco to sign on behalf of the British. The establishment of the United Nations had already been decided at the San Francisco Conference in June.

The very respected Sir Alexander, whose mission to San Francisco was limited to the official signing of the United Nations on behalf of the British Government, and at the same time giving a speech to make a presentation on the day of the official establishment of the United Nations.

To be honest, this is quite formalism, but it cannot be omitted, and it is also very important to show a face, especially for small countries like Sikkim and Bhutan, at least there is a chance for the major powers to know themselves.

At the same time as Alexander Cadogan left London, at the London airport, the British Foreign Office organized a welcoming ceremony and waited for the plane of the Alexander Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe to land.

The Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe was founded in 1928 and has a history of 17 years. During my previous visit to Paris, the chorus performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe aroused wide welcome among the citizens of Paris.

This is not the first time that the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe has been to the old revolutionary district of Paris, and it has toured Paris before the war, and it has been equally popular, and it has been a great success, and at the same time, it has won a gold medal at the Paris Expo.

When the plane landed, the first person to walk out of the hatch was the head of the song and dance troupe, Alexander Alexandrov, and then the members of the song and dance troupe followed the head of the song and dance troupe to get off the plane for their first appearance in England.

"The Soviets are all holding their heads high, are they demonstrating against us?" The corners of Alan Wilson's diplomat's mouth twitched, and he was a little unhappy with this kind of military style.

"Maybe that's how the Soviets were!" Alan Wilson felt that it should be a very pure emotion, and the working people could not bow their heads in the face of imperialism, so they behaved more mechanically.

The reception staff in the UK immediately stepped forward to shake hands one by one to welcome them, and Alan Wilson felt that he should ask for an autograph or something, after all, the opportunity was rare.
