Chapter 107 Internal Affairs Are Greater than Foreign Affairs
This is also normal, since everyone is the head of state, naturally there is no need to worry about Xiao Xiami's mood, and the matter is settled while talking and laughing. The bright line is Eifel's negotiation team, and the hidden line is Alan Wilson's secret operation.
But the most important channel is actually the communication between Prime Minister Attlee and Stalin himself.
The direct communication between the heads of state is more important than any bright or dark lines, and that side is the real decision. I am busy here just to have fun.
"We have basically finished talking about the issues with the Soviets, and the rest is the confrontation between the Americans and the Soviets. I don't know where we will work after this meeting." Eifel was in a good mood, and he was already fantasizing about the future. up.
"Me? I want to go back to India now." After thinking about it seriously, Alan Wilson gave a very serious answer. He had had enough of the environment in Europe, far less comfortable than life in British India.
It cannot be blamed that Alan Wilson is not enlightened, he is such a low-end person, and he does not have any high-end thoughts in his mind. Ready to go back to British India at any moment and use the last two years to make a fortune.
Once the Potsdam Conference is over, Alan Wilson is ready to return to work in British India. In fact, right now, he is tired of such so-called important international meetings.
"Advisor Churchill just toasted Marshal Zhukov with a glass of wine, and it seemed very harmonious." Eifel didn't think so much, and was still in the atmosphere of smooth negotiations.
"Oh?" Alan Wilson twitched his lips when he thought about Churchill's consistent position on the Soviet Union, "Our adviser is trying to provoke the relationship between Marshal Zhukov and Stalin himself."
Zhukov is now the military chief of the Soviet Union in Germany. It is not surprising that he also came here to meet Stalin several times during the Potsdam Conference. An anti-Soviet veteran like Churchill seized the opportunity to lay mines! It can only be said that the British Empire still has a unique talent in mixing this aspect.
"By the way, Marshal Zhukov seems to have proposed to invite Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union." Eifel said one more thing, saying that there are actually many things happening in Potsdam today.
Inviting Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union was a decision made after discussions between Stalin himself and Zhukov. Although Truman didn't like Churchill's love of firing cannons, it was entirely because of Churchill's own personality that he liked to talk nonsense. It doesn't mean that Truman was not hostile to the Soviet Union.
Stalin deeply felt the need to strengthen the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States. He discussed with Zhukov about inviting Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union. Zhukov suggested that he invite him to participate in the sports festival, which is more appropriate during this sensitive period.
In Stalin's view, Zhukov's personal invitation was not a political activity, but a visit as a military activist, which avoided embarrassing situations due to conflicts between countries. At the same time, through the international influence of the two commander-in-chiefs of major powers, they also expressed a signal of friendship and willingness to improve the relationship between the two countries, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Eisenhower has agreed to Marshal Zhukov's invitation and is expected to go to the Soviet Union for a visit and exchange in August.
Alan Wilson was blackmailing and reasoning in the black-box operation. He was having trouble with a Soviet woman like a parent in a vegetable market. The high-level leaders of various countries enjoyed themselves here and created a good atmosphere. Allen Wilson cursed hypocrisy!
However, this can only prove that countries still need time to guide domestic public opinion and delay the upcoming full-scale confrontation.
But having said that, what event did the Cold War officially start with? Churchill's Iron Curtain speech, the establishment of NATO, or McCarthy's troubles in the United States? This is really an uncertain question.
Anyway, based on history as a reference, the countries participating in the war in the past two years did not have the energy to find trouble with each other, adjust domestic production and policies, and feel that they are ready before going into battle shirtless.
"Alan, you're back from Berlin.
Seeing Alan Wilson come back, Alexander Cadogan asked in an ignorant tone, "How is the matter in Berlin going?" "
"Executive Deputy Chief, it's okay." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, indicating that everything went well. It seems that I really went out to do other things and missed the Potsdam meeting.
Approving Alan Wilson's friend out of nothing, Alexander Cadogan nodded and said, "Go to Jazz's room and have a look."
"Okay!" Alan Wilson nodded politely, bid farewell to the hall and went upstairs.
Edward Bridges stayed alone in the room, as if the bustle outside had nothing to do with him, but something that belonged to young people. He was not surprised at Alan Wilson's arrival, and pointed to the seat in front of him, waiting for the arrival The man sat down and said, "Are you surprised by everything today?"
"There are some!" Alan Wilson sat down stiffly, waiting for Edward Bridges' question.
"Our prime minister believes that the goal has been achieved. The most important thing now is to return to normal in the mainland as soon as possible. This is of course a good thing, but for some people, this matter may have two sides." Edward Bridges slowly Tun said, "If British India becomes independent, the civilization and legal system of the British Empire will be severely damaged. This is something no one wants to see. I have tried my best to maintain order, but it seems that the Prime Minister has made up his mind .”
"Wow! This is really a tragedy." Alan Wilson was sweating a little. The contrast between the two prime ministers really tested the hearts of civil servants. The former Churchill was busy on various occasions, busy laying mines and making troubles. The current prime minister, Attlee, is focusing his attention on the country and is prepared to keep his ears to the outside world.
"People in British India must be prepared." Edward Bridges pointedly said, "I believe that the civil servants in British India are examples of hard work and loyalty in the British Empire. But we have to start from the worst." From the perspective of thinking about it, there are not so many national jobs in China, what would you do if it were you?"
"I will find a way to go to other colonies." Alan Wilson paused and gave his own answer, "Don't cause trouble to the tense employment situation in the local area."
"Very well, if only most people thought like you." Edward Bridges sighed, "I will adopt a steady and moderate attitude to buy time as much as possible. However, those liberals in the Prime Minister think that , The investment in British India outweighs the gains, and you should withdraw as soon as possible. You are the only person in Potsdam who has work experience in India, maybe the Prime Minister will remember to ask you about the situation in India, and you should know how to answer."
