Britain is now very poor, World War II almost wiped out their finances, and although they have received great assistance from the United States, they will have to wait at least a few years to see the benefits.

When a person is sick, he has to return to a period of recovery, and when a country is sick, it is not so simple to get back on track.

Not only can they no longer afford to aid Greece and Turkey, but even in Asia, they have cut back on numerous programs and spending.

But all this is not what Zhou Nan wants to see.

Because this decline of Britain has only benefited one country, and that is the United States.

Although Australia is a Commonwealth country and Canada is a Commonwealth country, in fact, because of the decline of the United Kingdom, these two countries later became more like vassals of the United States.

It was also after World War II that the United States received too much of Britain's sphere of influence around the world and became a superpower.

But the United States is not Britain, not a power with hundreds of years of history, but a complete nouveau riche, they play power, much more shameless than Britain.

The British also like to be appeased later, and they like to put a layer of justice on their faces, but the Americans don't do that.

When they were still young, they pursued isolationism, a trend that is still the mainstream of American society.

But after World War II, they took over too many British bases all over the world, from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean and even to the Caribbean. Little by little, the British stronghold was transferred to the United States.

At this time, of course, the United States did not have the hegemonic face of the future, but it had already begun to wake up. Meddling in Japan's affairs and containing the Soviet Union was their biggest testing ground outside their borders.

Because of the strength of the Soviet Union, the United States was still trembling until the sixties. Because the Soviet Union during this period, although it was inferior to the United States on many light industrial bases, its military strength far surpassed that of the United States.

It was not until the sixties that the economies of Europe and the United States developed in full. And using industrial transfer to win over too many supporters around the world, the United States at this time has gone from the bottom to the upper hand in confrontation with the Soviet Union.

Looking at the international policy of the United States from the 40s to the 80s, it can be found. During this period, the United States was still a novice, and they made a lot of jokes in the international community, and many policies that were established today found to be unworkable and changed again in a few years.

But when the lame behemoth of the Soviet Union gradually declined and finally collapsed, the United States became the sole world hegemon.

At that time, the United States began to awaken its sense of power, and began to pursue the policy of prospering and perishing those who follow us in the international community.

Although the Soviet Union is now strong, their country is built on a false policy environment. Communism is good, but it can only be a goal for the future, not a dogmatic one.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and although they are strong, they still play themselves to death in the end.

This is because the higher the level of education of the people, the clearer they will realize that communism, at least at the present stage, is very difficult to achieve.

So Zhou Nan never took the Soviet threat in his eyes.

But the United States, a country of immigrants, is good at absorbing talent, and the two wars have absorbed enough talent for them to enjoy decades of development dividends.

Although their political system may seem sluggish, bloated, and too restrictive, it can ensure that their policies can be carried out slowly, and with their huge land and population resources, it is inevitable that they will become hegemons.

Zhou Nan did not think that he had the ability to change all this, but he could continue to advocate the idea of Eurocentrism in Europe, so that Europe's economy could recover faster, and the United States would be less cheap.

In Zhou Nan's view, the United States was stronger than the Soviet Union, and Europe was stronger than the United States.

The Soviet Union was strong, and for the motherland, it was a strong neighbor and a bad neighbor. The United States is strong, and they will regard their motherland as the object of suppression and containment for decades.

But Europe is strong, they are not a country, each country will have its own small calculations, and when it comes to suppressing its own motherland, it will not be so united.

He can't change all this, but he can make Europe take fewer detours, so that the United States will not become the dominant one and finally become unscrupulous.

For example, Britain's influence in Asia should not have been transferred to the United States so easily, and if it were not for those bases, the blockade of the island chain by the United States in the future would not have been so tight.

The actions of the Netherlands are also something that the UK now has to learn from, because they are no longer able to maintain stability in India.

On July 7 last year, the Congress party led by Jawaharlal Nehru unilaterally tore up the agreement and demanded a renegotiation, which led to the coalition withdrawing from the plan to establish a united India and instead seeking to create an independent state.

The tearing up of the agreement led directly to the first massacre between different ethnic groups in India, and the incapable Viceroy of India, Viscount Wavell, developed an evacuation plan called Operation Lunatic Asylum.

In early February, Viscount Mountbatten, who was known for his coordinating skills, succeeded Viscount Wavell as Viceroy of India, and at first remained committed to maintaining the unity of India and remaining within the Commonwealth.

But when the idea of unification had no basis among the people, Governor Mountbatten could only hope for the support of the political factions in India. Mountbatten was unable to gain support after several meetings with the leader Jinnah, so he had to abandon his plan to establish a united India and successfully seek Gandhi's support for the partition.

As opposition to Britain intensified within India, Britain had effectively lost control of India. Even the intellectuals and the army, who had been loyal to the British, began to rebel.

And not only India, but also British colonial dominance, including Burma and Malaya, has been shaken.

Britain did not support the partition of India and Pakistan from the beginning, but later saw the benefits of partition and began to support this plan instead.

A strong India is no longer in the interests of the British, and it is more beneficial to divide India into three or four contradictory countries in their future interests.

To this end, their special envoys have tried their best to sow discord and divide among the various ethnic groups, sects and parties in India. As a result of the sabotage of the British envoy, the hatred between the Indian coalition and the Indian National Congress party deepened.

After 47 years, the partition of India and Pakistan has become an inevitable result.

However, the decline of Britain was inevitable, and they themselves did not expect that they would become the object of blackmail by the Americans. Their military bases in the Caribbean, in the Indian Ocean, in Africa, in Asia, have become targets of US blackmail.

In the 15 years from the end of World War II to the sixties alone, more than 30 military installations were requested or leased by the Americans, including seven in Southeast Asia.

In fact, at this time, because of the example of the East Indies, the partition of India and Pakistan was not as crazy and desperate as in another life. In Myanmar and the Malayan Peninsula, there has also been a wave of nation-building among various ethnic groups.

Myanmar is also a very strange country, and in the early twentieth century, this country was the richest country in Asia. The per capita GDP has reached 800 US dollars, which is also the highest in the world.

But the country became poorer and poorer, and by the eighties, the dollar had depreciated sharply, and its GDP per capita was less than $500, making it an extremely poor country in the world.

Until the 21st century, the GDP here is only 1,000, but this gold content is completely incomparable with a hundred years ago.

The ethnic question here has not been resolved until the 21st century, let alone now, so when it comes to Burma, Zhou's suggestion is to divide as many countries as possible.

The Malay Peninsula is different, the situation there is more complicated, and because there are many Chinese, Zhou Nan only proposed a general framework.

There were less than 10 million people in Malaya, and about 3.5 million Chinese, and they controlled the economy there.

Although the life of the Chinese community there is still relatively good, because of the later MCP and May 13 incidents, pure-blooded Chinese are gradually regarded as second-class people.

Knowing the future history, Zhou Nan certainly hopes that Britain can also establish a Chinese state in Malay, or even two. But what the British will do is not something he can control.

Zhou Nan deliberately considered from the position of Britain, believing that Britain's military bases in Asia should be Britain's core interests.

Although they have economic problems now, if they give up their military influence in Asia because of economic problems, it will only make Britain's economic influence decline in the future.

Therefore, what Britain has to do is not to abandon these military bases and strongholds, but to temporarily reduce personnel, and even to commission and train local soldiers in exchange for some military spending.

Zhou Nan also promised that if the British were willing to establish a Chinese state in Malaysia, he would be willing to help persuade the Chinese, bear part of the British military expenses, and maintain British influence.

Zhou Nan is not afraid of these actions for the Americans to know, this is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy. Even if the Americans knew this, they would not be able to blame Zhou Nan. After all, Zhou Nan is a British adviser, so of course he has to make ideas for them.

Of course, Americans don't like Zhou Nan, that's for sure.

Staying in Geneva for two days, Zhou Nan stayed in Jean Nord's villa. After Zhou Nan's important recuperation for him, his body has become much healthier, at least his face has more natural ruddyness, and it is no longer oozing blue and white.

For this reason alone, the current Jean Nord is almost obedient to Zhou Nan and never opposes any of his decisions.

However, he has become accustomed to the neutral life of Jiuchi Roulin, and he never restricts himself in women's sex, even if he has Zhou Nan's conditioning, he doesn't know how long he can live.

On the evening of March 29, Zhou Nan took Schweitzer home for the weekend, while also meeting with another group of guests from England.
