Chapter 87: Great Britain's own national conditions are here

Talking to yourself in a meeting isn't completely useless, it's a process that requires trial and error. At present, the United States is focusing on the issue of war against Japan, and the Soviet Union is talking about European issues, which naturally includes the issue of refugee crossings that have just emerged.

It may be the internal changes in the United States caused by the death of President Roosevelt. Anyway, in this meeting, the United States put too much emphasis on the issue of war against Japan, which has given the Soviet Union a pretext.

As for the position of the British Empire! Alan Wilson told the truth, there are still quite a few positions, but on any single position, the theme expressed is not clear. The United Kingdom believes that many issues are important, but some issues are emphasized by the United States, and some issues are emphasized by the Soviet Union. The role of the British Empire in the Potsdam Conference is really like a **** stick in its own right.

Alan Wilson held a glass of wine and said while thinking, "Actually, with the ability of the United States, it is completely possible to fight independently. How can there be undead in a war. It is really not easy to deceive the Soviet Union and sacrifice."

Although the Japanese army's dying counterattack in the Battle of Okinawa surprised the US military. But from Alan Wilson's point of view, is the Japanese's will to resist really strong? In fact, it is not necessarily a thing.

Maybe when the U.S. military really invades the Japanese mainland, it will find that the resistance of the Japanese army is not as strong as in Okinawa. It is not necessarily true to calculate the cost of attacking Japan based on the losses in the Okinawa campaign. It's just that America can't bet!

Of course, Alan Wilson was talking about this without back pain, which soon aroused the dissatisfaction of James Jones, "Mr. Allen, the United Kingdom keeps saying that it wants to take a common position with the United States, but its help in the war against Japan is limited. , this is not the attitude of a close ally."

"Britain did this because it wanted to leave the honor and joy of defeating Japan to the United States. This can't be called a mistake." Alan Wilson flatly denied it. Seeing that the other party didn't believe it, he could only add one more sentence. The UK has no interest in the Far East, and we really can't be of much help."

Although the Japanese navy can be considered to be gone, the Japanese army in Southeast Asia is in a state of isolation and helplessness. But the Anglo-Indian coalition is indeed far from the Japanese mainland.

Didn't the United States also solve the Japanese army in Southeast Asia? Now the Japanese army in the Philippines is still surrounded by groups, and the US military has not wiped out these Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender. Alan Wilson used this to refute James Jones' remarks. He even wanted to Tell the other party that until Japan surrendered unconditionally, the US military did not clean up the Japanese army in the Philippines.

"On the issue of ending the war, is there only interest?" James Jones asked dissatisfied.

"Ah, I have the national conditions of Great Britain here." Alan Wilson put down his glass and said helplessly, "And as you know, the United Kingdom is an island country, and it is not known for the army. The landing war is still the strength of the United States, I don't believe it. Your Excellency may recall that Operation Overlord is a firm proposition of the United States."

"Ellen, our president has just taken office and participated in an international conference for the first time. Now the citizens of the country need good news. From the three parties who participated in the conference this time, the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is at least significantly better than that with the Soviet Union. relationship?" James Jones took a deep breath and said in a different tone, "Now the United States needs the help of the United Kingdom, especially on the issue of war against Japan, and the Soviet Union has put pressure on the United States with Yugoslavia. Just watching?"

"This is the problem of the Americans. It was General Patton who took in those opponents of Tito." When Alan Wilson heard this question, his tone turned tough. conflict.

But as long as Alan Wilson doesn't admit it, no one will suspect him. After so many days, he has already figured out why the **** has become so silent. It must be involved in the struggle between Eisenhower and Patton. .

It can only be said that the timing was coincidental. On the one hand, the attitudes of Eisenhower and Patton on the European side were inconsistent. On the other hand, President Truman in the United States just took office, and many things are not very familiar. The fact that there is a vacancy for Secretary of State right in front of you is proof of that.

"Of course, I will unreservedly inform the Foreign Secretary of the attitude of the Americans." In terms of the overall position, the United Kingdom and the United States must be consistent. Alan Wilson changed the subject and said that he would try his best to maintain this special unity. .

Since the Americans desperately needed the Soviet Union to join the war and were willing to make concessions, Alan Wilson refused to do so for no reason. The Americans brought it upon themselves.

"It's still the same question. The Americans urgently need the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan." Returning to Foreign Secretary Robert Eden, he reported, "The tone is very urgent, and it can be seen that at present, this is the most urgent situation in the United States. concerns, and I hope we can help put pressure on the Soviet Union."

"But the Prime Minister paid more attention to European issues and believed that the Soviet Union should first accept the status quo on European issues." Robert Aiden frowned and said, "The order of the Americans is opposite to our proposition. ."

"Respected Foreign Secretary, in fact, once the issue of the war against Japan has been resolved, the issue on the European side can be resolved as well." Since a great ally expressed the need for help just now, how could Alan Wilson dare to destroy the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States? , "Actually we used to have similar hopes for the Germans, the problem of making the Germans the Soviets."

"What do you mean?" Misfortune is drawn to the east! Robert Eden understood as soon as he heard it. He was already the foreign minister at the age of thirty-eight. The decision maker who made Germany trouble the Soviet Union was himself.

"That's what I said, Minister. We all know that the Soviet Union is a powerful army country, and now it has a strong military force. It is easiest to exert the strengths of the Soviet Union on the great plains of Europe. Japan is an island country!" Alan Wilson Neither humble nor arrogant, he said from a neutral point of view, "If the war against Japan can start immediately, the Soviet Union will be diverted from Europe. Moreover, the Soviet Union's weak maritime power, and the same garrison, is in a situation where there is no backup in the island country."

Robert Aiden nodded in approval. As soon as he heard Alan Wilson's mention of the misfortune, he, who had led similar decisions, suddenly felt sleepy, and said in approval, "The needs of American allies are indeed higher than the Prime Minister's. needs more justified.”

"Yes, Minister." Alan Wilson smiled knowingly. "Actually, the Prime Minister must have been mentioned by President Truman about the war against Japan, because of this..."

"For maintaining the precious relationship with American allies!" Robert Eden took over the words, "Gentlemen never avoid their mistakes, do they?"
