British Civil Servant

Chapter 93: The glory days are back

Stalin knew exactly how far the Manhattan Project in the United States had progressed. The news from the United Kingdom can only be said to be a corroboration, and there is no need to seek confirmation, because this matter is too important.

The important thing is that when Furtseva mentioned it, Stalin believed that the British side had shown sincerity. Since it was a black-box operation, there were naturally many aspects that were different from the formal negotiation.

Of course, for the support that should be requested, Stalin was equally impolite. Since the Americans took the initiative to ask for help, it would be a shame for the good opportunity in front of us to ask for a little more.

In another room, Alan Wilson was excitedly reporting his results to Edward Bridges, and he had nothing to hide except for the killer weapon that finally revealed his style. Any interests to be sold have already been decided, and he is just a tool person who informed the Soviet Union on behalf of the United Kingdom.

"I told the Soviets that the Americans just can't make up their minds. Once the Soviet Union can't express its sincerity, it's not impossible to fight independently with the strength of the United States now."

Edward Bridges nodded and said slowly, "Eivor said in today's report that the Soviets' rhetoric has loosened up a bit, and mentioned their opinions on the desire to hand over the German commercial fleet to the Soviet Union as collateral. ."

"Then we can't agree on how long it will take to reach the Far East from Europe. Whether it is the Royal Navy or the U.S. Navy, the Soviet troops can be transported nearby." Alan Wilson said without thinking.

"The Americans have said they will consider it carefully." Edward Bridges broke Alan Wilson's illusion, "It seems that this matter should be almost the same. I believe that Truman also promised Stalin something during the exchanges between the leaders of the three countries. "

The new world hegemon is still a little immature. He may have just entered the world stage from the Americas, and he is not yet suitable for the new role.

Who made Truman, the US president, just out of the novice village, and he was not accompanied by an experienced secretary of state? This is his own choice.

Edward Bridges has already figured out what the problem is, but since it's an American problem, he can't say anything, otherwise he's interfering in the American's internal affairs.

"In general, you have completed your task, and the conditions agreed are within the permission. You will meet with the Soviets tomorrow. Set things down. Now the whole world is waiting for this meeting. The first A consensus." Edward Bridges stopped talking nonsense and praised Alan Wilson, "Whether it is a formal negotiation or a black box operation, an agreement on both sides is the basis for reaching a consensus."

The meaning of the cabinet secretary, according to Alan Wilson's understanding, translates that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to work hard. Just don't know if the Soviets will give the desired result tomorrow.

In the formal negotiations, the British delegation fully practiced the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, put pressure on the American side, and expressed the common hatred of the United Kingdom and the United States on the issue of war against Japan.

At the meeting, Eiffel strongly refuted the Soviet Union's claim that there was a neutrality treaty with Japan, "In the past, Germany also signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union, which did not delay Germany's surprise attack on the Soviet Union. Britain and the United States hope that the Soviet Union will recognize the original mistake. Don't pin your hopes on Japan."

As soon as these words came out, they won the recognition of Americans, and it seemed that the glorious era of the British Empire was back for a while.

"That man Eiffel, apart from being tough on the French, can't be tough on any country. It's just a show for the Americans. What can we do? Now the UK still owes the Americans money." When meeting with Fortseva the next day, Alan Wilson said that everything was a misunderstanding, and it was not shabby to make money.

After expressing his apology again, Alan Wilson changed the subject and said, "The Americans have not given up and are willing to mortgage German commercial transport ships to the Soviet Union. Yesterday, Eiffel also proposed to be willing to coordinate, the British Empire's naval power in the Far East to help The Soviet Union has completed the landing plan. Of course, it all depends on our two countries. You Soviets may not be relieved, but I believe that the Soviet Union does not have any naval power in the Far East. The Japanese Navy only exists on paper now. Whether it can go to sea is unknown. ."

To put it badly, Alan Wilson has been thinking about the remaining warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet to see if they can take a little more share of the indemnity. Even if the Royal Navy does not need it, monopoly is still possible. Fallen Empire has come to this day, and it is necessary to learn to live the life carefully.

"It's hard to imagine that the British Empire has such flexibility in the way it looks at issues." Fortseva's remarks implied sarcasm, referring to formal negotiation and black box operations, the two faces of the British.

"This is the way the British Empire has survived for three hundred years. It's not a bad thing. Eggs can't be put in one basket." Alan Wilson completely regarded Fortseva's words as a compliment. As long as the goal is achieved, listen to some He is also fully equipped with a mind that is not obedient.

"The British side is willing to deploy forces in the Far East to cooperate with the Soviet Union's landing. I wonder if there will be enough time?" Fortseva asked the last question. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com hoped that Alan Wilson would give assurance.

"This is not a problem. Britain's power in Asia is under the jurisdiction of General Mountbatten. I happen to be the liaison officer for British India." Alan Wilson said that everything is on himself, and this matter is not a problem.

If it was someone else, he would not dare to make this guarantee, but if this person is Mountbatten, Mountbatten's greatest wish is to kill Tokyo and let Japan end up like Germany.

In the black box operation, Alan Wilson said that the United Kingdom promised to let the Polish government in exile in London get out of the way, and how to deal with it was the Soviet Union's business. During the formal negotiations, after bargaining, the British and American delegations expressed their willingness to hand over German commercial ships to the Soviet Union as part of the compensation.

The issue of the war against Japan has dawned. In the end, when Stalin held a summit meeting with Truman and Churchill, he said that as long as the conditions agreed by Britain and the United States were met, the Soviet Union could attack Japan and end the war.

On the evening of June 30, the first consensus on the Potsdam Conference was officially released, but the details were slightly different. Compared with the clear attitude of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Soviet Union's statement was actually very skillful. It recognized the war against Japan without saying it to death.

Compared with the reports of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Soviet Union's statement deliberately deleted the clause of unconditional surrender.

But on the surface, this is also the role of the British and American delegations, especially the British delegation. Of course, it is worth celebrating. Eiffel has become the star of the British delegation. Greetings, "Alan, what have you been doing these two days, you don't know my wonderful performance in the negotiation."

"I heard that the glorious era is back." Alan Wilson greatly admired.
