British Civil Servant

Chapter 94: Article 1 Consensus

As for what Alan Wilson has done, I think carefully about what he did a lot. In addition to the problems of the war against Japan and the Soviet black-box operation, it seems that he also mentioned the complementarity of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom at this stage.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to, if the United Kingdom, including France, is weakened too much, Western Europe will inevitably follow the lead of the United States in the future. If the United Kingdom is in an area of ​​interest that overlaps with the Soviet Union and is threatened by the Soviet armed forces, it will inevitably attract the assistance of the United States. Not only will it fail to achieve its goal, it will also allow the British to be replaced by the United States.

This is mainly referring to Iran. Currently, there are British troops stationed in the south of Iran and Soviet troops stationed in the north. This is also a historical tradition. As early as the period of the confrontation between the British Empire and the Russian Empire, the sphere of influence has been demarcated in Iran.

We also talked about economic topics. Although the Soviet Union is vast, it is a high-latitude country in the final analysis. Many cash crops and resources are either not available, or the development cost is very high. This is not a problem that can be solved by letting people go to Siberia to grow potatoes!

For example, rubber, and other tropical crops, the Soviet Union could not carry forward the spirit of hard work to close the gap. Britain has tropical colonies, and as long as the Soviet Union is willing to pay and conduct trade, the United Kingdom is willing to provide such raw materials. It's good for both countries to recover quickly from war.

As for other coffees, mangoes, even the United States has no reason to interfere with the United Kingdom, exporting tropical fruits for trade.

It seems that there is still an idea of ​​post-war recovery, because Germany surrendered in May, the planting season has passed, and the Soviet Union has been attacking and has no time to restore agriculture. As long as the Soviet Union is willing to buy a certain amount of foreign exchange, the British Empire can raise a certain amount of money. food to help Eastern Europe overcome the food shortage.

Alan Wilson has already decided where to sacrifice, so he will sacrifice British India. Maybe Nehru can be more honest when there is a food shortage. As for the trivial matter that there were only two divisions in Hokkaido, if he didn't recall it carefully, he forgot that he had said no.

After all, this was a good opportunity, because what he said would definitely reach Stalin's ears, and no one in the Soviet Union would dare to hide anything from Stalin at this time.

As a former world hegemon, the current British Empire seeks stability. Stability is more important than everything else. The fewer things, the better, so as to have time to adjust policies and finally land safely. If the Soviet Union is not looking for trouble, it is already helping Britain. restless.

It's just that Alan Wilson couldn't share these words with Eiffel, who had just made a big splash. He could only smile and sincerely wish each other that he had found a sense of presence at such an important international conference.

After a cup of tea, Eiffel said with interest and asked, "Actually, you should also join the ranks of the official negotiator, otherwise you won't have a sense of existence."

"We just need to obey the instructions and follow the arrangements." Alan Wilson shook his head humbly. He has something to do tomorrow. He has to contact the Governor's Office of India and send a fleet to the Far East.

The British fleet in Asia is enough. At present, the Royal Navy, if it is considered an **** aircraft carrier, has a total of ninety-five aircraft carriers. After the Normandy landing, the sea control of the Atlantic line has been regained, and some of its forces have been sent to Asia.

In fact, among the hundreds of aircraft carriers in the United States during World War II, nearly a hundred of them were also **** aircraft carriers.

It's not a big operation of the Normandy landing, and preparations are still needed. Currently, the British Royal Navy in Asia is completely sufficient. With the Soviet Union's own preparations, it is easy to transport hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

As for the time, it is hard to predict, but Alan Wilson is not pessimistic, because Mountbatten is the commander-in-chief of the British army in Southeast Asia, and Mountbatten maintains the speed of British warships.

At the beginning of World War II, Mountbatten served as the captain of the destroyer "Kelly" of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. The first time he boarded the ship, Mountbatten personally drove the Kelly out to sea, and also drove the battleship to 38.5 knots. .

There is such a commander-in-chief of the British Royal Navy's speed-keeper. I believe that the British fleet in Southeast Asia will be infected. In fact, he will be ready to send a telegram later. The time is tight and the task is heavy. This is a critical moment to test a civil servant!

On the first day of July, the first consensus reached by the British, American, and Soviet three countries at the Potsdam Conference was decided on the issue of war against Japan. Although the fly in the ointment was that the Soviet Union took its share and deleted the clause of unconditional surrender, it did not detract from the good start of the Potsdam Conference.

Reports about fighting against Japan and urging Japan to surrender soon appeared on the pages of major newspapers. The members of the US delegation were very happy. From the faces of these negotiators, Alan Wilson estimated that the current President Truman was also happy.

Now that it has been published in the newspapers, it can almost be regarded as a fact, but I don’t know if Truman will regret the successful detonation of the nuclear bomb, and he eagerly requested the Soviet Union’s actions to fight against Japan.

Considering that Truman, the president of a world power ~www.NovelMTL.com~ wanted to blatantly renege on his promises, under the witness of the British Empire, he turned to tear up the consensus on the Soviet Union, and it is estimated that he would have to make political determination. .

A consensus on fighting against Japan was reached, and it spread all over the world in a short period of time, and it also reached the ears of the Japanese government.

Konoe Fumio, who served as Prime Minister of Japan three times, expressed his personal opinion to the Japanese Emperor, "Defeat is an inevitable result, and the obstacle to ending the war comes from the military. The goal of the United Kingdom, the United States and China is to overthrow the Japanese military. It will change for that.”

Shigeru Togo, a former ambassador to the Soviet Union, told the emperor that the Potsdam Proclamation was just a copy of the Cairo Declaration. Although it should be accepted, in order to wait for the result of the request for mediation from the Soviet Union, an attitude of indifference should be adopted.

"There is no comment of unconditional surrender in the Soviet Union's announcement. It can be seen that the Soviet Union still has doubts about attacking the Japanese mainland. If the Soviet Union can mediate and conduct a conditional surrender, this goal is the direction that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should strive for now. Even if it gives up Part of the Kuril Islands is also possible."

The Governor's Office of India, Sir Barron holds the telegram that has just been delivered. In addition to Alan Wilson's thoughts on British India, the rest is the attitude of the Potsdam Conference on the war against Japan. The telegram stated that the United Kingdom could avoid It is a victory in itself for the Soviet Union to bear the losses caused by the attack on the Japanese mainland.

The Royal Navy fleet in Asia should immediately rush to the Far East to help the Soviet army attack and land. It should not be delayed even for a day, and it will become a fait accompli, and the Soviet Union will regret it too late.

At the same time that British India received European telegrams, Marshal Vasilevsky, who had already reached the Far East, also received telegrams from Moscow.
