While the military power of the United States was being dragged 10,000 kilometers away, the current cabinet prime minister, Attlee, had a lot more demand on the United States. In the four-nation-occupied area in Germany, because the Soviet Union increased troops in the Soviet-occupied area, Britain, the United States, and France also expanded their garrisons accordingly.

Europe is a place of contention for all parties, even if a war has broken out in the Far East, it will not change this.

In view of this, the United Kingdom also had to increase its investment in military power. This is a painful and happy situation.

On the one hand, the increase in British military investment will definitely drag down economic development. Even if this investment is not for participating in the war, it also proves that Britain is still an indispensable part of the current world situation.

And after a short communication, now Washington and London, Britain and the United States all believe that the British imperial industry plays a strategic role in the global balance dominated by the West. It is true that revolutions may break out in certain areas of strategic importance.

Therefore, in the ever-changing environment, the foreign policy of the United Kingdom and the United States will indeed continue to use imperial industries and strategic bases, even though the strength of the United Kingdom has been relatively weakened.

The war in the Far East gave Britain more room for maneuver, but Britain's vigilance against the United States not only did not decrease, but increased, because Britain had warned in advance of the warning of the expansion of the war.

However, the United States refused to listen to advice with indifference, which made London realize that the United States in 1950 was completely different from the United States in 1945. The United States had adapted to the role of world hegemony and was becoming more and more bellicose.

There are some worrisome aspects. The Soviet Union could overreact to American pressure, destabilizing Europe at a time when the international community is preoccupied with Asia.

But between Britain and the United States, the United Kingdom is a relatively weak side after all. Even if there is dissatisfaction, it must work hard to manage the differences between the United Kingdom and the United States.

If Alan Wilson knew that the respected Prime Minister thought so, he might think that Attlee was too greedy. The current situation is much stronger than in history. He is not bound by the United States and must join the war. What else do he want?

From the perspective of the United Kingdom, it is definitely not the result that the United Kingdom wants to see if the Cold War turns into a hot war. But in 1945, Britain was the first to express hostility to the Soviet Union before the Americans, and successfully left the defense issues of Greece and Turkey to the United States.

The world is such a big chessboard, with so many players, Britain can't take all the benefits and pay no price at all.

If this can be achieved, there will be no reason for Britain to decline. Where will the United States and the Soviet Union perform on the stage today?

With the approval of the U.S. occupation forces, Japan hoped that the British colonial government of Malaya would release Japanese prisoners of war. Although it cannot be said to be a trivial matter, it is indeed not a big deal compared to the war.

After discussion between the Honorable Prime Minister and the distinguished Foreign Minister, this matter has been handed over to the colonial government of British Malaya for resolution. Make a repatriation itinerary with the Japanese side.

"The Americans are fighting in the east, and the pressure on Europe's defense is increasing. Emanuel must be happy." Attlee said this as if he suddenly remembered something, "Morrison, do you still remember the previous report on the Trinity nuclear strike force?"

"Of course I remember that General Mountbatten was a staunch supporter of that report." Morrison nodded, obviously knowing this report very well and must have read it.

"I was not willing to invest in it before. The proportion of financial expenditure and military expenditure was too high. But now it seems that it is impossible not to invest. In the Trinity nuclear strike, what we lack is submarines and land-based missiles. The strategic air force does not need to invest too much." Attlee scratched his big clean forehead and said helplessly.

If the Soviet Union hadn't been eyeing it,

Attlee wants to abolish the army. Throughout history, the UK has never maintained such a large-scale ground force in peacetime, but it can't do it now.

Secretary of Defense Emmanuel must be happy with the military investment, and maybe several sea ministers are also happy. Although not related to surface ships, the submarine project is also informative enough.

In Kuala Lumpur, Alan Wilson, who has long regarded the telegram as instant communication, received information from the respected Fourth Sea Lord Mountbatten about the subsequent impact on Europe of the United States' deep-rooted war in the Far East.

The result is that the trinity nuclear strike force, which was not valued before, at least not now, has won the support of the current cabinet.

In Alan Wilson's view, this is a good thing, because the money will have to be spent sooner or later, and it is better to start it when the United States has no time to take care of it. The more delay, it will only lead to increased investment, and it is easy to give up halfway.

There is news that next year, in 1951, Britain may increase its military spending to £1.2 billion. Already circulated within Whitehall.

Although Alan Wilson was not in Whitehall, he kept in touch with the outside world by telegram, so he naturally heard the news.

After searching the memory of my previous life in my mind, I seem to remember seeing similar data somewhere. Because of participating in the war, plus the expansion of the ground forces confronting Europe and the Soviet Union, in the few years of the Korean War, Britain’s military spending soared to 1.5 billion pounds.

Of course, this is much less than the 20 billion U.S. dollar military spending during World War II. According to the current exchange rate, it is only 4 billion U.S. dollars.

In other words, there were no ground troops sent in the Korean War. Coupled with this mixed factor of time and space, Britain's military expenditure was reduced by 300 million pounds.

"Even so, with 16 million pounds to support the development of Asia, you still have to pull Canada and Australia, isn't it?" Alan Wilson had an impression of the frugality of the current government. When picking out money, digging and searching may be frightened by debts.

After all, during the years when the Second World War broke out in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom had 20 billion military expenditures every year, which was almost the same as the military support of the Soviet Union. After a great war, Britain was almost forced to hang itself.

The alloy tube project has just had results, and now it is going to increase investment, and Alan Wilson also knows that the research on the alloy tube project is still going on, and hydrogen bombs are being studied.

Originally, after the Japanese representative left, Alan Wilson was going to talk about this matter with a few optimistic and reliable Chinese.

But I tried to contact Ali Khan before, and now I have feedback. Ali Khan’s son Saif has arrived in Kuala Lumpur. Alan Wilson seems to have seen this son. Who made Ali Khan have many sons? I don’t remember clearly.

It is said that the most trusted heir has gone to Pakistan, and now the trusted son is the one in front of him. With a beard that can also be described as sexy, he introduces his identity.

On behalf of the former Maharaja of Hyderabad and now the Chief Minister of Hyderabad, Ali Khan, came to meet with the non-staff ministers.

"For my friend Ali Khan Maharaja, I am personally very sad about losing his kingdom." Alan Wilson expressed his indignation that Hyderabad was annexed by India with sincerity and no false meaning.

"Commissioner, I always hear my father mentioning you. Although the British were very irresponsible when they evacuated British India, my father can also understand your personal help to Hyderabad for a long time." Saif immediately replied, "The friendship between my father and the commissioner will not fade because of this accident."

"This is the best." Allen Wilson nodded with satisfaction, "I don't know what the majesty thinks about the future."

"Father is still the chief minister of Hyderabad, but now Hyderabad has a sad heart for his father. If necessary, my father wants to leave India and live in the UK. Anyway, my father has prepared for this day. London has my father's huge wealth."

That's true! Alan Wilson nodded, he knew this wealth very well, gold and gem cash, plus some stocks. How many billions? Now the development of British Malaya is in particular need, um, Ali Khan’s own territory especially needs the gift of the monarch...

"Actually? Your Majesty didn't think about it. Would you like to express your love for thousands of people in another place?" Alan Wilson stammered hints, and finally showed a look that you understand, "I don't know Saif, do you have a certain understanding of the origin of the Iraqi royal family?"

It has been hinted so clearly, Saif's face suddenly became extremely shocked, then turned into surprise, and hurriedly said, "Dear commissioner, is there such a place in the British Empire?"

"To be honest, the environment of the world has changed and it's not as easy as it used to be. If the maharaja wants to be the ruler of a country, it may be difficult. But find a place similar to Hyderabad." Alan Wilson looked at the other side reservedly and said, "British Malaya actually has nine sultans, so we can think of a way from this aspect. And there are a few places where there are no monarchs. Saif, you know, the local Malays also believe in the religion of peace. Of course, this is just my idea, you can listen to it..."

Don't just listen, Saif said anxiously, "Commissioner, you are my father's best friend. The friendship between the two of you has even surpassed the traditional relationship between Britain and India. Father will be very happy to hear this news."

"Oh, it may be very difficult. You know, it's not the world situation that the Iraqi royal family is facing now. It may cost money, and it will cost a lot of money." Alan Wilson looked embarrassed, "Although it is said that this is using your money to do your business, you still have to be prepared. This is not easy."
