Chapter 105 The Final Blackmail
Constant negotiations and constant returns. Now the British delegation has made it clear that the Soviet Union, like the United Kingdom, pays more attention to the Iran issue. It is impossible for the United Kingdom to back down on this issue, and the Soviet Union must be restrained from intervening in the Middle East.
The Soviet Union was an old rival to the United Kingdom, and even the predecessor of the Soviet Union, Imperial Russia, had always been the object of the British Empire's wariness, and it was only in modern times that the Germans robbed the limelight.
Having said that, the Germans at least helped the Soviet Union and the United States to withstand part of the firepower of the British Empire in the two world wars. In the end, these two rising stars did not talk about martial arts in front of the old comrades of the British Empire today.
The consequences of Iran's concession are extremely serious. If there is a country in this world that can stand up, it will affect the situation in the entire Eurasian continent. There is no doubt that this country will not be the second choice except the Soviet Union.
Although the United States is also a country with a vast land and abundant resources, but in America, no matter how long your arms are, at the end of the crossbow, it is impossible to pierce Lu Jin.
If the United Kingdom takes chances and thinks that the Soviet Union will use the tacit understanding among countries to solve the problem and is careless, once the Soviet Union repents, the consequences will be very serious. The entire Eurasian continent will be cut in two by the Soviet Union in the Persian Gulf. At that time, no country in the world can compete with the Soviet Union.
The United States can't do it either. As long as the Soviet Union reaches 70% of the strength of the United States, it can rely on its huge land to radiate Eurasia and fight back and forth with the United States. This is the geographical advantage brought by the huge land of the Soviet Union. This geographical advantage is The United States, which is native to the Americas, does not have it.
Of course, the huge territory of the Soviet Union will be attacked from all directions once the national strength cannot keep up. This is also a disadvantage. But Alan Wilson can't see this disadvantage at all. He can only see the advantage in front of him, that is, the strength of the Soviet Union has begun to exert its overwhelming geographical advantage in Eurasia.
Whether it is the new Prime Minister Attlee, or Churchill, the current adviser to the former Prime Minister, they are all in agreement on the issue of Iran. We must find a way to let the Soviet Union leave, and it must be released in the form of a communiqué.
Even if all three countries withdraw their troops, it will be beneficial to the British Empire, because Iran, like other countries in the Middle East, is still dominated by British capital in domestic oil companies, although the penetration of American capital has become more violent.
Once Iran's foreign troops withdraw, it will still benefit the UK the most in a short period of time. It is rare for two prime ministers to maintain a consistent attitude on an issue.
In the official negotiations, Eifel was reasonable for a while, persuaded hard-heartedly for a while, and made a tough threat the next day. Finally, he used his trump card and wanted to put pressure on the United Nations to be established together with the Americans.
At the Potsdam Conference, the theme of the British Empire was mainly black-box operations. Alan Wilson has also been stuck on the Iran issue for several days. He knows in his heart that the time for the nuclear bomb explosion is getting closer, and he is also anxious.
It's not just Alan Wilson who is anxious, Fultseva is not going anywhere easily, and the urgency in her heart is no less than that of Alan Wilson.
"If there is no result, let's talk about it. The United Nations will be established in October. At that time, the Soviet Union will see how its country is besieged by countries all over the world. The Americas have already been the backyard of the Americans. In addition, the United Kingdom and France will lead Western European countries, the Soviet Union will definitely withdraw its troops." Alan Wilson said harshly, already on the verge of tearing his face.
Although negotiating with a beautiful big-haired girl can be said to be a pleasing thing, but which one is more important, Alan Wilson is still very clear about the issue of the Mediterranean Sea. After the Yugoslav refugee issue, the Soviet Union will inevitably get a naval base from the Mediterranean Sea. Bypass the pincers of the Dardanelles.
Therefore, finding trouble with the Soviet Union on the issue of travel in the Black Sea is actually only theoretically effective. The Soviet Union will definitely get a naval base from the Balkans. But the Persian Gulf is different, and that's a big problem.
Fultseva was taken aback by Alan Wilson's face change,
Britain was more persistent than expected on the Iran issue, and said softly, "You want to unite and harm the interests of the Soviet Union."
"Iran is an independent country, and this is not the era of the British Empire and Imperial Russia." Alan Wilson said unmoved, "No matter how the Soviet Union wants to intervene in Iran, there is only one final result, withdrawing from Iran in disgrace, There is no other option."
"You've made my impression of you worse now." Fultseva flicked her hair and looked at Alan Wilson.
"So what?" Alan Wilson raised his hand and said in an exaggerated tone, "We are negotiating secretly on behalf of two countries, right? Are we here for a blind date? If you give me something cheap, I will Can the British Empire be sold?"
Unless he doesn't want to make progress, he will never be fooled by Fortseva's beauty.
This day's black-box operation broke up again. At night, the lights in the rooms of the British and Soviet delegations were on for a long time. In fact, although the American delegation seemed to have nothing to do with it, they had been paying attention to the formal negotiations between the British and the Soviet Union. Confrontation over the Iran issue.
The reason for adopting a seemingly neutral attitude is because the Americans believe that the British will definitely ask for help.
And this is exactly what Alan Wilson is trying to avoid. He knows better than anyone that once the United States gets involved, the sense of British presence will be tantamount to nothing. The United States is no less dangerous than the Soviet Union!
Sometimes Allen Wilson is thinking, just let the Soviet Union annex Iran, see if the United States can still watch the fun? Can you still hold back?
As long as the Iran problem is settled, the British Empire has nothing to fight for, this is what the cabinet secretary Edward Bridges personally told Alan Wilson.
"We have already communicated with the Americans in private. If the Soviet Union does not withdraw its troops when the deadline expires, the U.S. troops will be stationed in Iran!" Alan Wilson told Fultseva with a straight face, "Don't regret it when the time comes, it is the Soviet Union's own choice. "
There is absolutely no private communication with the Americans on the Iran issue, and this will not delay Alan Wilson's final blackmail attempt.
"Are you really willing to give up the benefits to the Americans?" Fultseva asked in disbelief.
"Is it going to be given to you Soviets? Let the Soviet Union liberate the whole world and let these backward nations be on an equal footing with the British Empire?" Alan Wilson said angrily, "No matter how bad Britain is, it can't let the original colonies Riding on the head, I see the third world war is not far away, hope we are still alive after the war."
There has never been a day when Allen Wilson felt that he would be like Chang Gong, talking about the Third World War, and treating such invisible things as life-saving straws, but he couldn't control so much when things came to an end.
