"A revolutionary country like this wants to prove something too much. Now it seems that the Far East may also have difficulties in contacting it in the future. But this does not mean that it cannot be solved at all!"
Alan Wilson partially agreed with the Foreign Secretary's opinion, and then said, "We do not fully understand these ideas of establishing a country after the revolution, just as we cannot understand why the French sent Louis XVI to the guillotine in the first place, but as time passes, With the precipitation, we will always find some tricks.”
"Speaking of this issue, regarding mediation, the Soviets' response was lukewarm." Roberts said with a wry smile after hearing Alan Wilson's words, "The biggest problem is that the other party is not interested in our proposal."
"The mediation can be terminated." Ernest Bevin sighed and showed the news from the country to the accompanying diplomats. "There is no need for mediation now. What we should consider is , what kind of stance should we take towards a newly emerging country?"
After reading the message delivered by Ernest Bevin, Alan Wilson could explain it in one sentence: An army of millions crossed the river.
This day will come sooner or later. The only thing that is gratifying from a British perspective is that the Amethyst incident did not occur.
For the current United Kingdom, one thing is worse than one thing less. The Amethyst is just a frigate. There are hundreds of ships in the Royal Navy today, but if something happens, London will definitely not retaliate.
One pound stumps the heroic man. Britain is racking its brains to maintain the current scale of the Royal Navy. How can it do anything else?
"Dear Foreign Secretary, Americans should actually be more worried about this matter than we are. It also involves the internal struggle between the Republican and Democratic parties." Alan Wilson revealed to Ernest Bevin, regarding Chang Gong's use of Using American money to do American things, and then being caught by Truman.
"The Far East's fall to the Soviet Union will definitely cause a huge shock in the United States." Alan Wilson said, "It is extremely important to judge the next reaction of the Americans. The current situation in the Far East is just like when the minister visited Washington and talked about the Greek issue. Like the example above, there may be a domino effect.”
Needless to say, you can actually consider becoming best friends with McCarthy now. Some of the foundations for causing trouble with him have matured, and now it’s time to see how big of a stir he can create.
On another question asked by Ernest Bevin, Alan Wilson did not give any advice. After all, formulating foreign policy is the matter of the Foreign Secretary. Such a big matter will definitely be discussed by many cabinets in the future.
However, one thing is foreseeable. Xiangjiang will see a large influx of people in the future. This may be the last batch of immigrants that Malaya absorbs. In the future, the work of balancing ethnic groups may not be so easy.
At the same time, Fortseva, the first secretary of Moscow's Frunze District, returned home, holding her son in her arms, educating the future successors of the Soviet Union, and vowed to crush the spokesperson of imperialism.
The spokesman of the old imperialism, following the teachings of the Foreign Minister, Shi Shiran came to Frunze District again the next day. Originally, Fortseva didn't want to meet, but Alan Wilson came to the door and there seemed to be something between the two, so she agreed to meet.
"Regarding a small misunderstanding yesterday, please forgive my hastiness. I have prepared a gentlemanly apology for this." Alan Wilson expressed his apology for yesterday's argument with the help of an interpreter.
"I accept your apology!" Fortseva held her head high, still looking like she would do anything to defend the Soviet.
This made Alan Wilson shake his head involuntarily, and discounted the sincerity of his apology as soon as he opened his mouth, "If you Soviets are like this, I believe there will be no less diplomatic friction in the future. What we must admit is that doing It's useless to look like this. According to your words, this is formalism.
Dear Ms. Fortseva, there are a large number of nationalized enterprises in the UK today. In fact, when I visited the factories in the Soviet Union, I wanted to see the methods of factory management. "
Alan Wilson pretended to be one of our people here in Fortseva by leaking information about the British nationalization movement.
He believed that it would be beneficial to have some understanding. After all, this was a country that had been at odds with the United States for decades, and the planned economy would certainly not be as useless as later generations would say.
It can only be said that every country has its own problems, and problems cannot be generalized. Didn’t Prime Minister Attlee say that we should combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism...
Even if you follow the tradition of the British Empire and join in to mess up the other party from within, this should be done.
If it weren't for the possible turmoil, Alan Wilson would have wanted to buy a few Soviet books and go back to see how to run a nationalized enterprise well.
But considering career issues, let it go. Things that can be done through the intelligence department do not require him to show up in person.
Alan Wilson took the initiative to ease the relationship with Fortseva, but was met with a cold reception by the big-haired girl. Her face was like seeing a class enemy. With this cold brow, Alan Wilson pretended that he didn't know anything about it, and finally joked, "If Madam has always been like this, I wonder if it’s not too late to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs?”
Fortseva took a deep look at Ellen Wilson and thought silently, I can let my son in.
After apologizing, Alan Wilson ended his entanglement with Fortseva and continued to talk to the Soviets about the issue of a transparent mechanism for the occupying forces. Although nominally, the British interpretation of this visit to the Americans was to "put pressure on the Soviet Union." , let the Soviet Union mediate the war in the Far East."
However, as of yesterday, this claim has been automatically bankrupt. Back in the UK, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will naturally explain to the United States and put pressure on it too late.
The main purpose now is to ease the atmosphere of confrontation in Europe and emphasize that it is beneficial for both sides to take a step back. Issues in the Far East are what Americans are concerned about, while Britain is only concerned about Europe in front of it.
The British are asking for this matter. They hope that even if the Soviet Union withdraws one division and announces it, it can be regarded as a huge diplomatic achievement. However, this request is also mutual. From the perspective of the overall environment, the Soviet Union is unwilling to confront That one.
Only if the Soviet Union shows goodwill can Britain and the United States delay the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries.
This matter is definitely not in vain for Britain to take advantage. It can only be said to be beneficial to both parties.
"The size of the Soviet army in Germany is too large. One army group should be reduced, even one division. It will make a huge contribution to détente. In an environment with bayonets on the chest, it will be a hazard to both sides." Alan Wilson said "The establishment of a transparent mechanism can increase strategic mutual trust between the two sides and avoid a situation of conflict. For this reason, London and Paris believe that the Soviet Union should not refuse this proposal, which will make the already unstable situation become unstable," he said. It’s more complicated.”
"How do we know whether this proposal is an imperialist conspiracy? As we all know, the outbreak of the World War was related to the British appeasement policy. In fact, the danger could have been eliminated when the Germans were not very strong. As for the British, it caused trouble to the east. It’s not a secret.”
Gromyko smiled coldly and pointed out that Britain's role in World War II was far from what it is today.
"Reflection on the world war has been ongoing, and there is a point of view that Mr. Gromyko is right about. That is, some voices believe that we cannot repeat the mistakes of the appeasement policy. Therefore, we should stand firmly with the United States. I wonder what Gromyko would say about adopting a policy of containment against the Soviet Union?"
Alan Wilson practices the operation of as long as I am right-wing enough, everyone will be left-wing. He directly acknowledged the appeasement policy, and pointed out that some people regarded the Soviet Union and Germany as a problem, and learned the lessons of the appeasement policy, which was to immediately blockade the Soviet Union, even faster than the United States, and lead the United States by example.
If the appeasement policy was the mistake Gromyko said, then Britain can now correct this mistake.
Gromyko felt very uncomfortable when the ball was kicked back, so he could only ignore the topic and mentioned that some imperialist spies had been wreaking havoc in the Soviet-occupied areas and undermining local peace and order.
This must be an attempt to incriminate, at least that's what Alan Wilson thought, and he explained, "This was not done by the British. Why didn't the Soviet Union turn its suspicious eyes on the Americans? I think this issue still needs to be discussed. of."
"Is this the same tone when asking for help?" Comrade Steel said with a smile on his face in Stalin's office in the Kremlin.
I don’t have any bad feelings because of this incident. After all, for the current Soviet Union, the Far East is the most exciting thing. Although Europe is the top priority for the Soviet Union at all times, the current relaxation can also reduce Hostility, as the British say, is beneficial to both sides.
"We are temporarily making a gesture of relaxation. Time is on our side." After hearing Stalin's statement, Molotov nodded. He already knew what to do.
Now that the Kremlin has made its decision, the rest will fall into place. Ernest Bevin's visit was a complete success and made a huge contribution to peace in Europe.
"I wonder how the domestic newspapers will report it!" Alan Wilson moved his somewhat stiff neck and said with great relief.
Roberts thought for a long time and then said, "Peace for a generation?"
"You want our foreign secretary to wave the treaty in his hand as soon as he gets off the plane and shout that I brought it back?" Alan Wilson frowned and teased, referring to the reappearance of Prime Minister Chamberlain yesterday.
