"By the way, you should have heard of it, right? What do you think of the opponents of the United Nations Army and how they are fighting." Norman Brook wanted to ask the opinion of this Eastern expert.

"What do you think? In today's world, if air support, logistical support and heavy firepower are abandoned, considering the scale, it should be the ground armed force second only to the Soviet Red Army." Alan Wilson showed a thoughtful look on his face, giving Out of the evaluation of the Americans after the Korean War.

"So combat effectiveness?" Norman Brook smiled with surprise. "This evaluation is not low. Then, compared with the Soviet Red Army, do you think the combat effectiveness of the Soviets is almost 10%."

"Dear Cabinet Secretary, this is a very sharp question. Let me think about it!" Alan Wilson began to calculate in his mind. The military deployment during the confrontation between China and the Soviet Union was 6.1 million in the 1970s. Most were concentrated in the north, even if half were used to guard against the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union has 1.2 million troops in the entire Asian territory, of which 600,000 are close to the border, and there are also an unknown number of KGB border guards.

"If a stalemate can be formed, the exchange ratio should be one to four." Alan Wilson finally gave a fairly appropriate answer. This exchange ratio is actually similar to the exchange ratio of the US military in the Korean War.

Norman Brooke nodded, and Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, believing that he had fooled his immediate boss.

He was talking about being able to maintain a stalemate, but in fact, no one in the world today can maintain a stalemate with the Soviet Union on the ground.

He didn't dare to tell the truth in front of Norman Brooke, because now the European direction, and the country facing the Soviet Union's ground armed confrontation, there is also the United Kingdom, so he said that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army was similar to that of the US military.

This can also be regarded as a chicken thief comparison. No military service can be compared with the army in terms of threat. The United States is an exception. The Soviet Union, the largest large-scale airborne army in the world, cannot send airborne troops to the mainland of the United States, but it can be sent to the United Kingdom. native. The English Channel and the Atlantic are not comparable after all.

If it is the airborne troops of ordinary countries, it is not worth worrying about, but the Soviet airborne troops have 15 divisions and more than 200,000 people.

Alan Wilson was a little ashamed of raising the U.S. military's ground combat capabilities to such a degree that MacArthur was so anxious now that he was calling for the use of nuclear weapons to solve the problem.

Norman Brooke also mentioned MacArthur and recovered a little, "but the US military seems to be embarrassed now."

"There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the U.S. military. Personally, I think it is the problem of the commander-in-chief. As we all know, General MacArthur has never been disgraced in Asia." Alan Wilson resolutely maintained the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. The human problem is huge.

Norman Brooke reluctantly agreed with this statement, and finally stopped worrying about the combat effectiveness of the US military.

When it comes to MacArthur, it's not that the British Empire cares about him, but that this is the source of the Prime Minister's temporary visit. Prime Minister Attlee would not have rushed to visit the United States if it hadn't been for the talk of the use of nuclear weapons from Washington.

After the two battles, the disgraced posture of the U.S. military is literally the script that went straight to the beginning of the war and retreated all the way to Busan. At this time, the United States claimed to use nuclear weapons, forcing Prime Minister Attlee to start his own diplomatic mediation.

The United Kingdom is not the only country that has responded to the US's use of nuclear weapons. At this time, the powerful powers are also making diplomatic efforts to propose a ceasefire between the two sides and maintain the military demarcation line before the war.

Before Prime Minister Attlee arrived in the United States, it was the time when the U.S. military spit out all the results of the Inchon landing. When the news of the death of the Eighth Army Commander Walker came, Truman declared a national emergency, asking the American people to make any necessary sacrifices for the Korean War, and at the same time Decided to set up the National Defense Mobilization Agency to expand the conscription plan and arms production, and demanded to increase the U.S. military from the current 2.5 million to 3.5 million, and to increase the production capacity of aircraft and tanks within one year. Five times and four times.

Immediately afterward, Washington announced an allocation of $20 billion to support the war. It was on this occasion that Prime Minister Attlee arrived in Washington.

Alan Wilson reckons that the Prime Minister's trip to the United States may be the only remaining effort to get the United States to pledge not to use nuclear weapons, because the U.S. government has already done everything it needs to do before Attlee arrives in Washington.

The current Prime Minister went abroad to maintain peace, of course, aroused the concern of British citizens. After all, the support rate of the current government is very high, and it was only before that the UK was prevented from falling into the vortex of war again. Now Attlee went abroad to run for peace again, and received overwhelming praise from British public opinion.

It is the vast majority, such as the United Kingdom, under the guise of freedom of speech, there is always a shortage of whining people.

Not necessarily a Conservative, because the Conservatives also endorse Attlee's efforts to avoid intervening in the war.

The Conservative Party's spray point is another aspect. Mr. Churchill, a senior member of the House of Commons, said that if he were the Prime Minister, he would not only avoid sending ground troops, but would not even send naval and air forces. The Labour Party made compromises in the face of pressure from the United States, and so on.

"North Korea doesn't matter now, I didn't hear about such a **** place until I was seventy-six," Churchill said arrogantly in front of all the MPs in the House of Commons.

When Attlee arrived in Washington, the United States was holding a grand funeral for Walker, commander of the Eighth Army.

At this time, Alan Wilson was also busy with his own affairs, preparing for the Brussels meeting, and visiting Audrey Hepburn, who had not seen him for a long time. Audrey Hepburn was very excited for this man to come back. He helped him a lot.

Women have a certain psychology of admiration for men. Aaron Wilson went to Asia to be a commissioner, which made Audrey Hepburn recognize his career. The two had a lot to say when they first met.

"Why do you even ask about the war now?" Alan Wilson was really surprised to hear Audrey Hepburn ask about the situation in the Far East.

"Others say that it may cause a third world war, and I'm also a little scared." Audrey Hepburn was a little embarrassed, "This way, human beings will perish, right?"

"Ordinary people understand this, don't those leaders of great powers understand? Our Prime Minister visited Washington with this purpose this time." Alan Wilson expressed cautious optimism in front of the goddess, "We Believe in the ability of politicians."

I don't know what's going on, Alan Wilson feels that his words are a little hypocritical, and he is the least believer in such words. He all believed in the aristocracy, believed in the absolute monarchy, and did not believe much in the so-called ability of statesmen.

But not all, because he got data from Whitehall after he returned to China. Last year, the UK's fiscal surplus was 500 million pounds, which seems insignificant compared to the US just allocated 20 billion US dollars.

But it was already Britain's biggest surplus in a single year after the war, and now Prime Minister Attlee's biggest nationalisation spending has been done. Even if military spending will definitely increase due to increased pressure from Europe, it will not cause a fiscal deficit.

In general, Aaron Wilson believes that Prime Minister Attlee, who has already visited, will take a sigh of relief when he sees the 20 billion US dollars in war spending that Washington has just allocated. If this is replaced by the United Kingdom?

If the United Kingdom sends troops, even if it is only a symbolic one, the increase in expenditure will not be a small number. A surplus of £500m in the past year will soon turn into a deficit.

"Audrey!" Allen Wilson expressed his closeness, wanting to dance ballet with Ball Flower.

"I hate it, I always think about it every day, and I just got back." Audrey Hepburn said in a low voice with a red glow on her face, "You will affect the image in my heart."

Alan Wilson has shown with practical actions that it doesn't matter at all whether it is an image or not. The atmosphere between the two gradually warmed up, and Xiao Biesheng was newly married.

At this time, because of the death of the Eighth Army Commander Walker, a new commander was taking office. Ridgway, who arrived in Japan, had a detailed talk with MacArthur. There were also Lieutenant General Turner Joy, the commander of the Navy in the Far East, and the Air Force in the Far East. Commander Lieutenant General George Stuntmeyer.

By noon, Ridgway's mind was full of answers to every question he could ask, and all the intelligence others thought he needed. At 12 noon, Li Qiwei had already left for Haneda Airport, ready to take a plane to South Korea.

At four o'clock in the afternoon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Li Qiwei got off the plane and stepped onto the tarmac of Daegu, trembling slightly under the bright winter sun.

It is similar to Alan Wilson who just arrived in Brussels. After all, it is the end of December. Although the climate in Europe is good, it is not comparable to Malaya, which is at the equator. Alan Wilson, who has only returned to Europe for a few days, is always in Reminisce about the brilliant sun in British Malaya, especially at this time of year.

The United States is inseparable from the war, which is a good thing for Alan Wilson. In this world, the United States is very important, and the Soviet Union is also very important, but it would be great without the United States and the Soviet Union.

The economic cooperation part of this Brussels Conference did not have him as the colonial commissioner. Naturally, other important civil servants in Whitehall were in charge. What he was in charge of was the part about the second Berlin conference.

At this time, Attlee, who had already arrived in Washington, was conveying the concerns of European countries about Truman's previous remarks on the use of nuclear weapons, and asked Truman to clarify his previous remarks and control the scale of the war.

This was a success for Attlee, and Truman's tentative remarks had already been fed back, so to Attlee's face, Truman insisted that it was a police operation that had just gone awry.
