The surface is submissive and the heart refuses. If it is replaced by an ordinary country to negotiate with it, there may be no progress for a long time.

However, Alan Wilson believes that European and American countries generally do not eat this. Australia and New Zealand are also culturally European and American countries, and they will not have a pedantic mentality toward this former enemy country that once threatened its own existence by going south.

Unless there is a country with the same language and language to put pressure on the two countries, but for now, the United States will not necessarily do so. For the United States, it is true that Japan is on the front line of blocking the Soviet Union, but the other side of the negotiating table is not a close ally of the United States.

As a result of the day's talks, the Japanese surface engineering has been judged by Alan Wilson as useless for Japan.

In fact, the same is true. The Japanese have made no promises, and other countries have only stated their own positions. Basically, it can be concluded that they are speaking for themselves.

Formal talks are often very boring, but they are just a bunch of words repeated over and over again.

"Actually, negotiations like the Munich Conference are interesting." Alan Wilson said with a smile to his wife, "Only then can it reflect the essence of diplomacy, the strong prey on the weak."

Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips, she couldn't help her husband who was reminiscing about the glory of imperialism, and whispered, "It's a pity that there is no environment for you to play, you should have been born fifty years earlier."

"A hundred years, but I won't be able to meet you in this way. There are always regrets in life, and I can't take all the good things." Alan Wilson took the opportunity to attack his wife, mentioning that the relationship between the two is comparable to that of the empire on which the sun never sets. Glory.

The imperial civil servant's licking skills are not inferior to anyone, and some sweet words made Pamela Mountbatten very happy, and finally managed to restrain the smile, "I know that it sounds good."

Even though she said so, she just followed suit. Of course wealth was important, but her husband's care was even more important.

The claim against Japan has nothing to do with Alan Wilson in essence. He came here just as a psychological attack to join in the fun. After all, I was present at the Potsdam Conference. psychology.

Many people think that the essence of diplomacy is bullshitting. This is a very superficial understanding, and bullshitting is just an appearance. The essence of diplomacy is, of course, the exchange of interests and the law of the jungle.

President Quirino is indeed a president who strongly advocates for compensation from Japan. After hearing the figures requested by President Quirino, Alan Wilson could not help feeling unrealistic.

The Philippines is demanding US$8 billion in compensation from Japan. Alan Wilson doesn't know what Ikeda was thinking when he heard this figure. Otherwise, he would definitely not agree.

In 1953, the output value of Japan's entire country was just over 20 billion dollars in US dollars. The figure requested by the Philippines is already nearly half of Japan's national output value, and this figure can make Japan think about how to start the war again.

What if someone asked China to pay $6 trillion in reparations? It is estimated that China will build 100 aircraft carriers, 100,000 tanks and 10,000 nuclear bombs.

As for changing to the Soviet Union, it is not an assumption, the Soviet Union will definitely do this.

Japan has an economic scale of 20 billion US dollars, which does not mean that it has 20 billion in cash. Even if the Japanese are crushed and squeezed for oil, they will not be able to come up with so much money.

The reason is very simple, assets worth one million, and being able to take out one million in cash are two different things.

When he invited Van Dijk, the governor of Dutch Kalimantan, Alan Wilson expressed this point without hesitation, "The Japanese government even allows women to come to Nanyang for prostitution, but it can't come up with the money, the figure of eight billion, Japan. If you can agree, there will be ghosts, and the Americans will not agree, after all, Japan has only stabilized for a few years."

This is an unaffordable figure for the UK, and it is impossible for the size of the UK's entire economy to come up with this money in one go. In this age when the gold standard was still quite solid, national statistics were not decades away.

"I also think this number is too high, and it can be seen in today's talks." Van Dijk said with a wry smile. The domestic economy of the Netherlands is less than this number, and it can't be sold to the whole of the Netherlands.

"Just understand that this is just a blackmail figure. Just come up with a result, and the Americans will not allow you to take it by force. After all, Japan's blockade of the Soviet Union is of great significance." Alan Wilson hesitated. He wanted to discuss the bottom line of the Japanese with Van Dijk, but in the end he kept his mouth shut.

Alan Wilson only woke up when he said that. He is not really worthy of the Six Nations. It seems that this kind of thing is thankless. Some help in creating favorable conditions is okay. If you participate deeply, you will not necessarily be thanked. may be blamed.

This kind of compensation is actually good. If the Philippines hadn't been demanding compensation, there would have been no chance for a needle to be inserted, because after the war the United States made a clear bottom line on the issue of compensation.

After World War II, the Allies, to be precise, set two basic principles for Japan's war reparations: not to ask Japan for reparations, but to seek in-kind compensation for industrial equipment or resources; Japan's post-war economy should maintain a reasonable standard of living for the people.

If it weren't for the disobedient young man in the Philippines, who has been chasing compensation until today, and Japan has indeed recovered its living standard beyond the pre-war level, it would not have attracted Alan Wilson's attention again.

As long as there is a role like the Philippines, the rest will be much easier, and countries such as Australia can follow suit.

Not to mention that Alan Wilson has always said that the Philippines is far more reliable than Australia and other countries when it comes to compensation from Japan.

Even Van Dijk thinks the Philippine demand is a joke. If the Philippines wants $8 billion, then the more powerful Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand will each have a higher figure than this, and the whole of Japan will be more than that. Not so much money.

The four countries together would not be worth $8 billion, let alone the Philippines itself.

In fact, Isato Ikeda immediately went to the US embassy in Australia to ask for help, because the number was too rude and unrealistic, and Japan simply couldn't come up with so much money.

At the same time, Alan Wilson invited the Philippine President Quirino, and Australia and New Zealand are not credible in this matter, and only the Philippines has the foundation of the script.

"Although the United Kingdom is not included in the claim, I can also see from the observation that the success of the claim depends on the position of the Philippines. This is also the consensus of the allies." Although Alan Wilson did not explicitly say, he also implied that the United Kingdom felt that the Philippines felt The claims are reasonable and reasonable.

But he immediately changed the subject, saying that the figure of eight billion US dollars was unrealistic, "I'm not against this figure. In fact, this figure is too small. No amount of money can make up for the crimes and losses caused by the Japanese army. To see what the Americans think, in fact, the attitude of Mr. President is already surprising. We thought that as long as Washington said a word, there would be no more trouble in Manila.”

"The Philippines is already independent, and we can't do what Washington says about this matter." President Quirino said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wilson, I understand, the UK actually supports the Commonwealth and European countries. , but it is not easy to support it on the surface, so I hope the Philippines can take greater responsibility."

"See through, but don't tell! This is a good thing for everyone." Alan Wilson smiled tacitly and said teasingly, "It's not a bad thing to make the Japanese work harder, isn't it? It's not to let them die!"

In fact, compared with the current standard of living, the standard of living in British Malaya is actually a little better than that in Japan. But the total amount is indeed too far behind. After all, the size of Japan's population, British Malaya can't keep up.

"As long as it can achieve its goal, the Philippines doesn't care whether it offends Japan. Anyway, the two countries have hatred." President Quirino officially stated that as long as he can get compensation, he is willing to be used as a gunman.

"Then I will help contact you when you need support from other countries." Alan Wilson nodded, and at the same time gave President Quirino a promise that he would be willing to help with the issue of common ground.

Since the Japanese can turn to the Americans for help, it is reasonable for the Philippines to seek British support.

In fact, this is Allen Wilson taking the initiative to help, there is no way, who can make him have a good heart, he always has a sense of justice in his heart from time to time, and wants to pursue a sense of justice.

With the die-hard punch of the Philippines, other countries have more leeway. To deal with the claim group this time, they must deal with the Philippines, but the Philippines is not moved at all. The previous digital President Quirino also knew that it was impossible. But still not ready to give up, can get a piece is a piece.

Faced with the need for such talents in Japan, Alan Wilson, who was hiding in Canberra on vacation, followed the negotiations every day with great enthusiasm~www.wuxiaspot.com~, and the number of claims was also declining repeatedly.

Yoshito Ikeda runs to the US embassy at the end of almost every meeting. Alan Wilson even thinks that Yoshito Ikeda is not so enthusiastic even in the face of his teacher Shigeru Yoshida. He is really an excellent servant of the country.

Washington finally made a statement, and at the same time put pressure on the claimant countries, saying that the amount of compensation requested was too high for Japan to provide.

"I have a lot of respect for Washington, and I even remember the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the Philippines. The Filipino people believed how much the U.S. military could protect the Philippines, but it turned out to be a mistake."

In the face of pressure from the US ambassador, President Quirino started from the emotional card and pointed out the security commitment of the United States to the Philippines.

"Hurry up and tell the Filipinos what the president said!" Alan Wilson said to his wife immediately after knowing it. "At this time, what he needs most is the support of public opinion."
