British Civil Servant

In 1950, although the United Kingdom and the United States talked about special relations, they absolutely represented the two countries from the same angle of view. In the 21st century, they should be roughly the same, but it was the United Kingdom that called for the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. The United States does not put much emphasis on the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Who let at that time, only the British Isles were left in the UK and became a character holding a thigh.

On the day of the fall of Seoul, the United Nations adopted Resolution No. 82, announcing armed intervention on the Korean Peninsula.

Alan Wilson is in the process of formulating policies, and he has the United Nations Resolution No. 82 in his hand. Although the Labour Party is in power in the UK today, many ministers of the Labour Party used to be die-hard pro-Soviet elements in their youth, but there are people of different ages. Idea, with regard to the definition of the Korean War, the British also tended to believe, was part of the Soviet Union's global strategic attempt.

Because the Labour Party has been in opposition for a long time, there has been a shortage of talents for a long time, so there are many super ministers in the Attlee cabinet. The outbreak of the war has attracted the attention of two former foreign ministers, Ernest Bevin and the current foreign secretary, Herbert Morrison.

The relationship between the two foreign secretaries is good, in stark contrast to the relationship between Morrison and Attlee.

Together, the two heeded Alan Wilson's estimates of the scale of the war and what Britain should do.

The current foreign secretary, Herbert Morrison, is preparing to implement the Colombo Plan on the advice of his predecessor, Ernest Bevin, to maintain the influence of the British Empire in Asia, with the help of Australia.

The main motivation of the Colombo Plan was to be both anti-Soviet and anti-American, and to safeguard the vested interests of the British Empire in Asia. At the same time, it is also a confrontation with the increase of local influence of the United States.

As the current High Commissioner for British Malaya, there is no doubt that this matter is of course related to Alan Wilson. It just so happened that Alan Wilson was called back to London and even talked about the Korean War.

Faced with the inquiries of the two ministers, Alan Wilson said that he has been practicing magic for many years, and he has taken an open and honest attitude towards the local Malays and Chinese, and even has his own long-term plans. With Asia as the center, it will destroy the industries of the surrounding independent or semi-independent countries and achieve the purpose of rebuilding a British India.

Ernest Bevan and Herbert Morrison looked at each other and were very surprised. They didn't expect that a civil servant trained in Whitehall would be so arrogant and ignore politicians at all.

"Ellen, I heard that you have a good personal relationship with Senator McCarthy of the United States?" Ernest Bevin asked.

"Yes!" Alan Wilson replied with a nod. "He's a very nice guy, very sincere, different from a traditional senator. If there's anything wrong with him, maybe he loves alcohol too much."

McCarthy is of course a good person, although because of the outbreak of the Korean War, McCarthy has risen in the United States more and more, and appeared in a powerful face, but McCarthy helped Vivien Leigh to get the shares of United Artists after all.

By virtue of this alone, McCarthy is his friend of Alan Wilson, and even if McCarthy shoots and kills people in the streets of New York in the next second, it will not change that.

This answer made Herbert Morrison frown slightly, "According to his remarks, this cabinet is all Soviet spies."

"Respected Minister, if I tell the truth, it is indeed the case!" Alan Wilson said helplessly, "In the eyes of McCarthy and the forces of his representatives, this government is indeed suspected of being a Soviet spy, but after all, it is the United States, if the perspective is different Confined to the UK, Americans will find that there are pro-Soviet forces everywhere in Europe, France? Italy? Greece? Wait..."

The opposition party is not responsible for talking nonsense. Not to mention McCarthy, Churchill, who is still full of energy, often shoots cannons in Congress.

Thinking of Greece, Alan Wilson couldn't help but feel a little worried. The pro-Soviet forces were still entrenched in the northern mountains near Yugoslavia. Historically, in 1950, the pro-Soviet forces in Greece no longer posed a threat. There are also a large number of US officers and soldiers who have combat experience in Greece directly to the Korean Peninsula.

"Bevin and I have read your report, and you also know that President Truman decided to intervene in the Korean peninsula. The cabinet means that the United States should be helped. There are several reasons for this attitude."

Herbert Morrison eloquently said that if the result of the Korean War was a victory for the Soviet bloc, it would be a huge blow to the prestige and reputation of the free world, especially in Germany, and it would seriously endanger Central and Western Europe, which is just a short distance away. Safety.

And supporting the U.S. war policy can be exchanged for the U.S. to support British rule in Malaya and French rule in Vietnam, thereby safeguarding British strategic interests in the Far East and Southeast Asia. Supporting U.S. war policy could also mend the Anglo-American partnership that was previously under suspicion over British support for Arab states in the Middle East.

These ideas seem to be very reasonable, but Alan Wilson asked back, "I personally think that the outbreak of this war has shown that the United States and Britain must stand together. Under the premise of facing the Soviet Union, The so-called repairing the relationship that was suspected before? It is not very urgent. According to the current information, the US participation in the war has not changed anything. What the US troops on the Korean peninsula can do is to retreat together.”

"If the scale of the war cannot be controlled, as in the second half of my report, then the £250 million investment in the Far East may be confiscated, and Hong Kong may not be stable. Honourable Minister, in all fairness, according to the current summary In terms of news, the news of the confiscation of US capital has come, and we cannot allow British capital to suffer the same fate."

"It is foreseeable that because the US capital was confiscated, the US will definitely retaliate. I believe that in a short time, the Paris Coordination Committee will have new business. Once this consequence occurs, the entire Far East will be affected by Hong Kong. It will be the only external channel, of course I have not forgotten the land occupied by Portugal, but it is too small."

"Xiangjiang under British governance will become the only communication channel, so this benefit is exclusively enjoyed by the British Empire, and the benefits are very limitless."

Ernest Bevin nodded in approval and said, "We are also firmly opposed to the expansion of the war, and will oppose any attempt by the United States to expand the war. In the joint defense of the five countries including Australia, and the upcoming In the context of economic aid, we cannot risk another world war."

"The most important thing is that there are no winners!" Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "Looking at the several wars that broke out after the war, especially in Asia, the forces supporting the Soviet Union far surpassed those supporting the free world. The supporters of the free world are usually the losers. Naturally, the fight is not good for the British Empire."

Although it is relatively frustrating, this is a fact, and it is not the first time that this has been proved. The retreating US military is the immediate example, and the French army, which has been slow to make progress in Vietnam, is also the same.

Around the discussion of the Korean War, Alan Wilson said that what he hopes most is that Britain will not participate in a war that has nothing to do with him, but he also knows that this is almost impossible.

They tried their best to use their own analysis to help the two ministers formulate countermeasures. The United Kingdom did not want to see the Korean War spread from a regional conflict to the surrounding area, or evolve into a full-scale conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, or a world war, which would not be in the interests of the United Kingdom. . Therefore, the United Kingdom has basically determined the policy of localizing the Korean War and interfering in the war should be limited.

So far, the cabinet has also formally established the operational scope of the British army, which cannot exceed the military demarcation line previously drawn by the United States and the Soviet Union. Alan Wilson seems to think that the restrictions are too dead considering the Incheon landing.

"Actually, we are also opposed to the fact that the United States sent its navy to intervene in the civil war in the strait. If possible, we can even help China regain its seat in the United Nations." Ernest Bevin hesitated, "all of this is expected to be the scale of the war. Don't expand."

"It's a pity that we couldn't achieve our goal. Americans now feel that they are invincible. The UK is just an overlord!" Alan Wilson replied with a wry smile, "On the issue of European security, we are in the same position as the United States, but on other continents On the issue of China, we seem to have more confrontation. If the nuclear test hadn't been a success, we really don't know how to respond to the US proposal for Britain to send troops."

Alan Wilson can do more than that, sometimes without really hitting his head and bleeding. The deep-rooted touch will not disappear. For example, before the outbreak of World War II, Britain and France thought that the Soviet Union was just another imperial Russia, and could never stand the German blitzkrieg.

It was only when the Soviet Union and the Germans were inextricably divided that Western European countries came to understand that the Soviet Union was the Soviet Union, and the imperial Russia was the imperial Russia. Although they all lived in the same group of people, they were completely different.

For this reason, Alan Wilson, with the care of the two ministers, drafted the fourth-order tactics for this limited intervention. Britain is willing to use all possible support, except help.

If not, the Royal Navy will organize an expeditionary fleet to set off from the mainland and arrive in the Far East after half a year to participate in the war. Third, if the United States believes that the time is too long, the United Kingdom will use the Royal Air Force to conduct large-scale maneuvers to help the United States.

In the end, if it had to send ground troops, the United Kingdom used the pretext of strengthening its defense against the Soviet Union’s military presence in Europe, sending limited ground troops to participate in the war, and trying to use Nepalese mercenaries instead of sending British ground troops.

While Alan Wilson was running for world peace, war broke out in South Asia again, and the Indian Army launched an attack on Hyderabad again.

"Why do you like to join in the fun so much?" Alan Wilson, who got the news, was very helpless. This should be regarded as a chain reaction.
