Britain, as a veteran imperialist, doesn't care about fierce wars of words. The media is the first to set the pace when something goes wrong. They are also the first to blame or even reflect after the incident.
A group that is afraid of the world being in chaos, and never has any intention of introspection. Alan Wilson is already used to it. Regardless of how vigorously he is scolding now, they will be the first to retreat at the critical moment.
Alan Wilson is actually not worried at all whether the Berlin crisis will break out. It has broken out in history. It doesn't matter if it breaks out once now. The plan is to use air channels, mainly the United Kingdom and the United States.
This has nothing to do with France, because France currently does not actually have a strategic air force. Even the return to Asia was sent there by the British Royal Navy. The Dassault Group has not yet reached the stage of rapid development.
Now Alan Wilson just hopes that if Berlin must be blocked, Moscow had better hurry up. It just so happened that his best foreign friend McCarthy was here.
At this time, Alan Wilson, who was hurting his friend, did not forget to take the opportunity to help McCarthy. It can be said that it is definitely worth it for McCarthy to have him as a friend in his life.
Public opinion in the UK is raging, and there is a war of words on behalf of the United States, but as a direct party, the United States is seriously considering it. Will the Soviet Union and even China and North Korea, which are confronting each other on the peninsula, join forces to land on Honshu Island at this time?
The CIA used all possible intelligence to speculate whether the United States would have the military power to respond if such an incident occurred.
At this time, Japan was in a state of emptiness. Only two National Guard divisions that were not ready for combat were training on the island, and the rest of the combat forces had already been deployed on the Korean Peninsula.
Allen Dulles took the CIA's assessment to the White House to meet with President Truman. And whether Japan currently has self-defense capabilities.
In the assessment report, the Soviet Red Army judged Japan's amphibious landing capabilities as: capable of launching submarine attacks on Allied supply lines, ports and bases; the first echelon of amphibious landings will include two to three divisions and an airborne operation involving tens of thousands of people. ;
If the first echelon of landing troops successfully captures the port, no more than six divisions can be subsequently invested. The entire landing force did not exceed nine divisions. If the landing force successfully established a solid bridgehead and captured suitable port facilities, the number of troops on the island could increase to fifteen divisions by a month and to twenty-five divisions by the sixtieth day. If conditions such as weather, shipping, port facilities, etc. are further favorable, more can be invested.
In terms of logistics, the United States believes that the Soviet army can mobilize half of its total one million tons of shipping force in the Far East Sea to participate in landing operations. These ships can carry eight fully manned Soviet divisions and can maintain the offensive. supplies for these divisions.
The Soviet Army's strategic reserves east of Lake Baikal, in addition to fuel, can supply the Soviet Army for about a year of campaign operations. However, the reserve status of fuel, especially aviation fuel, is unclear. The Soviet army could transport fuel from the western part of the Soviet Union, but this would seriously affect the conduct of other logistics operations.
In terms of air support, the United States believes that the Soviet aviation force in the Far East has 5,000 aircraft, but most of them are old models from World War II. The staffing ratio is about 85%, but it is relatively easy to fully equip them. In order to carry out the attack on Japan, a large number of aircraft need to be diverted; however, after this, the Soviet army will invest no less than 2,000 combat aircraft in the initial landing operation.
"With the current strength of the U.S. military stationed in Japan on Honshu Island, it is impossible to prevent the Soviet landing. If you take into account China and North Korea on the peninsula, this ratio is even more desperate. We have only one way to stop it!" Allen Dulles Speaking to President Truman in a very soft voice, he said, "Issuing a nuclear threat will not hesitate to start a world war."
"However, Britain and France will not start a world war for Japan." Truman thought silently for a long time and said with a wry smile, "Britain and France have not forgotten so quickly the humiliation when the Japanese army invaded Southeast Asia.
Not only Britain and France, Australia will never help Japan send even a single soldier. "
"Dear President, there is no doubt that the current scale of the US military stationed in Japan cannot be defended." Dulles took the document and said, "But we do not think that the Soviet Union will continue to move south after annexing Hokkaido. So the Central Committee The Intelligence Bureau has two suggestions. When necessary, it should demonstrate its determination to defend Japan, deploy nuclear weapons to the state, issue nuclear threats to Moscow, and prevent the Soviet Union from greater adventurous attempts. The second point is that Japan should be allowed to re-establish general troops. Sharing the defense pressure of the US military stationed in Japan, especially at this time, the Peninsula War is not over yet, and Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who has a good relationship with General MacArthur, advocates handing over all defense tasks to the US military stationed in Japan, which is no longer appropriate."
"Let me think about it!" Truman held his forehead tiredly. The continued slump in approval ratings and the lack of hope of an end to the war had already made Truman physically and mentally exhausted.
Sometimes he wonders whether McCarthy's accusations are correct. Did he really start everything by giving up on Chang Gong?
Since the beginning of the Korean War, Truman has been in a state of irritation. Sometimes he thinks that the Republicans may be right in some respects. The United States may not be ready to lead the world. When fighting against the Soviet Union, it always seems to be more than capable. .
I just don’t know which part of the Republican Party Truman was talking about. The opposition parties sometimes oppose for the sake of opposition, and it’s not clear what their propositions are.
Thanks to McCarthy's own presence in Europe, Alan Wilson now judged that there were at least two major factions in the Republican Party. One was the Republican conservatives led by Taft, and the other was the establishment with Dewey as its leading figure.
The relationship between the two was not bad before the election. Alan Wilson remembered that in the original history, Taft lost to Eisenhower, who was supported by Dewey. This American conservative boss was the only one who could still exert influence. The place. Even during Eisenhower's term, although the United States shouted loud slogans, it only introduced the Eisenhower Doctrine on the Middle East.
The entire country was still in a state of restraint, and of course Eisenhower's term was the last remnant of the isolationism of the Republican Party.
When the Republican Party emerges in the future, it will be a matter of comparing who is tougher with the Democratic Party.
He does not want to comment on what an opposition party in the United States should do. The key is that the current leader of the British opposition party, Congressman Winston Churchill, has shown the same passion as during the Iron Curtain speech.
Call on European countries to support the United States and take a tough stance on the Hokkaido issue. He also suggested that the United States take a tough stance to prevent the Soviet Union from illegally annexing Japanese territory.
Alan Wilson was willing to imagine that Senator Churchill meant to let the United States and the Soviet Union place the main battlefield of confrontation in the barren Far East. Anyway, Britain did not have a single pound of interest. This can reduce confrontational pressure in the European direction.
"You rarely think that Churchill has a positive effect." Pamela Mountbatten expressed her amazement without looking back while preparing the food. She felt as if the sun was rising from the west.
"I'd like to think so, but? Hey, I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, if the Soviet Union finally took action in the direction of Berlin.
At this time, he is jumping up and down and strongly supports the United States' tough stance in the Far East. It is very likely that he will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
At that time, the Labor Party may use this to attack Churchill, exacerbating tensions in Europe. Maybe Churchill will not be closer to No. 10 Downing Street, but will be further away.
"Pamela, which domestic newspaper do you have a good relationship with?" Alan Wilson looked at his wife and asked.
"The Daily Telegraph and I have a good relationship." Pamela Mountbatten brought out the sausage and sat directly in front of her husband.
"Supporters of the center-left Conservative Party? Oh, that's right." Alan Wilson nodded and lowered his voice, "Can you please use this newspaper to remind our former Prime Minister that it is not appropriate to use harsh words to accuse the Soviet Union at this time. After all, that is a matter of the Far East, and it would not be good if the Soviet Union’s attention was drawn back.”
"Oh?" Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment, wondering what her husband had in mind.
"It's not a bad thing to remind our Prime Minister." Alan Wilson said vaguely while biting the sausage.
Regarding the Hokkaido issue, the United States used nuclear weapons to warn the Soviet Union not to attempt to expand the war and plunge the world into the threat of war. This has become the most concerning thing for European countries.
In comparison, the Daily Telegraph, which is an authoritative media, seemed a bit out of place in Churchill's admonishment at this time.
If nothing happens in Europe, this report will naturally seem to be making a fuss out of a molehill. But if something happens on the European side, Churchill gets burned, and the Labor Party seizes the opportunity to stamp on him, and he probably won't be able to escape.
Of course Alan Wilson didn't want anything to happen to Europe, but he knew something about the Soviet Union. He lowered his head and acted like an ostrich, thinking silently in his heart that after thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, China might do something like this. The Soviet Union was not quite in line with this style.
The Berlin crisis, which has not yet occurred in this time and space, may be seized upon by Moscow and the United States' involvement in military power in the Far East, and executed by Stalin.
The time of the Berlin crisis in history was a critical moment for the civil war in a certain country. On the one hand, Truman hated Chang Gong's support for Dewey. Another important factor is that in the eyes of most countries, Berlin is really bigger than nearly 10 million square kilometers. A certain big country is much more important.
The United States is using air channels to flex its muscles against the Soviet Union. There is no air channel to control whether Chang Gong is alive or dead.
There is not much movement in Berlin yet, but any bit of news in the air and sea over Hokkaido and Honshu Island has occupied the attention of many countries. After ten days like this, Alan Wilson felt that he might have really made a wrong judgment. The conflict point in this world is in the Far East and has nothing to do with Europe.
A recent piece of news about Japan is that the United States suggested that Japan establish a self-defense force to have basic self-defense capabilities. We cannot place all our hopes on the United States.
