Chapter 707 Old Acquaintance Alful
"The credit does not belong to the Prime Minister, who else can it belong to? Could it be the Soviets?" Alan Wilson looked as expected. He said that the British Empire was widely praised by world public opinion and embodied the obligations of a responsible big country. Such things Very satisfied with the report.
Although there were some risks in this trip to Moscow, there was no danger in the end. Coupled with the incident of resisting the storm surge, I believe that there is no need to worry about the support rate of the Labor cabinet in the short term.
Compared with the Labor Party, which at most only provides benefits, the Conservative Party, which is always holding back big moves, seems to be more patriotic, but it always makes people feel uneasy. In any case, the British response from beginning to end during the Berlin crisis was Very good.
When the Berlin Crisis first began, it took a stand before the United States did, and now it has contributed to the end of the Berlin Crisis. Obligations to European countries have been demonstrated.
Today, Prime Minister Attlee deserves to be praised by public opinion in all countries.
Of course, before leaving Moscow, Prime Minister Attlee expressed his gratitude to Palmiro Togliatti and Maurice Torres, the leaders of the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party, who spoke out in the process of reaching consensus.
For the two largest Soviet fraternal parties in Western Europe, Britain certainly hopes to lead the two parties to the line of parliamentary struggle. This work has not yet been completed. The Italian Communist Party has never stated that it will give up armed struggle!
Although the French Communist Party has stated that it does not seek to turn France into the Soviet Union, it has not changed its party constitution to peaceful parliamentary struggle.
If these two largest pro-Soviet parties in Western Europe do not officially announce the abandonment of armed struggle and make changes at the party constitution level, it will always make people feel uneasy.
If these two Western European parties are eliminated, the hidden dangers of the free world will be greatly reduced, and its own superior strength can be brought into play.
On the last day of mid-March, Attlee and his party, who had ventured to visit the Soviet Union, also embarked on their return flight.
At this time, newspapers in the UK and various European countries were highly praised for Prime Minister Attlee's trip to Moscow. The Berlin crisis, which had lasted for a year, finally saw the dawn of an end at this time.
Of course it is not that easy to end, but if the general trend is good, then the result will be good.
At the same time, Palmiro Togliatti and Maurice Torres, leaders of the Italian and French Communist parties, set off to return home.
The power of public opinion that does not belong to the free world, that is, the authoritarian power led by the Soviet Union's Pravda, is also touting the merits of the two men, delusionally trying to take some of the credit for ending the Berlin crisis from the great Prime Minister Attlee.
Of course, this dark move cannot succeed. The BBC was the first to refuse to agree. Public opinion in the free world has an obligation to let people in the free world know the truth of the matter. At the same time, it should not belittle Palmiro Togliatti and Mo Rhys Torres, because the free world still hopes to introduce their parties into parliamentary struggles.
It is necessary to retain Prime Minister Attlee's important role in easing the crisis in Berlin, and at the same time, to a certain extent, recognize the role of the leaders of the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party. This is a very difficult standard, and only the BBC has the ability to do both.
When we landed at London Airport after returning from Moscow, reporters from major newspapers were already waiting there, ready to grab first-hand reports.
"I brought back peace for a generation!" Alan Wilson muttered in his heart. If there were more people, it would be like the scene when Prime Minister Chamberlain returned from the Munich Conference.
But at this moment, in a sense, it is the same as that time, the lively scene is similar. Prime Minister Attlee also accepted a few questions when he stepped off the plane. In a tone that was neither humble nor condescending, he said that Britain would never give up its efforts to save peace.
"My British Empire is invincible!" Alan Wilson could feel the joy of the current Prime Minister of the British Empire, although this feeling was well concealed.
In this Berlin crisis, Britain's performance can be said to be perfect. From its active response at the beginning to its final seizing of opportunities to ease the situation, it was impeccable. Prime Minister Attlee deserved such a welcome.
After returning to London, the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly became busy again. On the one hand, it was communicating with the United States and France. Britain absolutely did not make any formal concessions to the Soviet Union. At the same time, it also elaborates on the concerns of European countries about the prolongation of the Berlin crisis.
Alan Wilson also took the time to supervise the reconstruction plan of the East End, which is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
When corresponding with McCarthy, the multi-tasking Alan Wilson also expressed Britain's desire to disintegrate the enemy from within and draw the Italian and French Communists into parliamentary struggles. I hope to gain understanding from the United States, especially McCarthy himself.
"My friend Joseph, whether we can cut out the hidden dangers will be extremely important to the future free world. After all, we cannot openly deal with these two pro-Soviet parties. We still have to bring the two parties onto the right track. If it were not for Britain and the United States in this There is a strong alignment of interests on this issue and I should not have discussed this issue in our private correspondence."
Of course, Britain picked peaches twice in a row during the Berlin crisis, and Alan Wilson does not deny it. But? Isn’t the United States busy with the Korean War? Due to the special relationship between Britain and the United States, it is understandable that Britain should help.
After sending the telegram, Alan Wilson went to No. 70 Whitehall, where the Cabinet Secretary's office was, where Norman Brooke was waiting for him.
Norman Brooke mainly wanted to ask about the entire negotiation process. Of course, Alan Wilson knew everything, and he also said that his efforts to win over the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party were true. Bringing the two parties into the scope of parliamentary struggle should be the biggest diplomatic task at this stage.
Anyway, Alan Wilson told the truth, the so-called free world composed of Europe and the United States is divided into two parts. The situation in the United States is that of a purely capitalist country. But the situation in Europe is hard to say to be far different from that in Eastern Europe.
Whether it is Britain, France or Italy, their economic models have long had a strong nationalized economy. Even at certain times, France's state-owned economy was almost no worse than that of Eastern European countries.
If this distinction is made, France can become a socialist country. The situation in Italy is even more extreme. Even the constitution has strong socialist elements.
This time illustrates the role of the propaganda outlet, given that the economic model is not much different from the Soviet Union. Public opinion in the free world refers to countries with the Soviet political model as communist countries, and the term socialism is used for countries in Western and Northern Europe where the Socialist Party of the Second International exists.
In fact, the Soviet Union never called itself a communist country. This title was imposed on the Soviet Union by the United States. Turn the socialist countries in Eastern Europe into a bunch of communist countries. Continuing Cold War confrontation is what the United States has been doing during the Cold War.
As long as you are sincere enough when you lie and stick to it, it will always be effective, judging from the experience of later generations. Western European countries also accepted this statement.
"Actually, the United States is not satisfied with the Prime Minister's visit!" Norman Brooke said after listening to the report, "Everyone understands the reason."
"I understand, it's nothing more than a sense of loss." Alan Wilson said with a malicious smile, "Americans believe that the current world situation is decided by the United States. But it was not us in the United Kingdom who persuaded the United States to fight the Korean War. , on the contrary, we tried our best to prevent it.”
"You go to Paris and make arrangements for the occupation forces authorities to evacuate Berlin." After Norman Brook ended the conversation, he gave Alan Wilson a new task, "Now that all the citizens in Berlin have fled, Eiffel's work is It makes no sense, joining NATO’s working representative quota is their way out.”
"I know, Sir!" Alan Wilson agreed immediately, and at the same time took out a list of the recent import of raw materials from Malaya. He had just returned to London and contacted the local people in Kuala Lumpur.
He was also the commissioner of British Malaya. He could never forget his own job. Remote control was also a command.
Alful was a local civilian official of the British occupation forces in Berlin. Alan Wilson remembered that Alful seemed to have been working in Berlin and had not moved anywhere. But with the beginning of the Berlin crisis, and later the escape from the Berlin crisis.
There are no Berlin citizens in Berlin now, so his representative in Berlin is naturally meaningless.
The future West Berlin will be a pure military stronghold, and its role in people's livelihood will no longer exist. It is foreseeable that the future of West Berlin will be decided by a group of garrison commanders.
Norman Brooke allowed these people stationed in Berlin to enter NATO's command structure and continue to work. This is not difficult. Lord Lord Ismay is the current Secretary-General of NATO and he is British.
In principle, the Secretary-General of NATO cannot be an American. This was also fought for by Britain and France when NATO was established. Therefore, the current NATO framework is that the American is the commander-in-chief and the British are the deputy commander-in-chief and secretary-general.
Eiffel and British officials in West Berlin will evacuate from Berlin directly to Paris, the French capital. Of course, this needs to be evaluated by MI5 to see if they are deceived by Soviet ideas.
Alan Wilson only had a receptionist job. Before Alful and the others returned, he was squatting in the Woodpecker headquarters building, holding the first book of the 007 series of novels in his hand and shouting, "I got it back."
"I have contacted the author Ian Fleming through the Jamaica Commissioner. Of course, when negotiating the price, you may have to negotiate it yourself. I am not suitable to come forward!"
"You really bothered me!" Hedy Lamarr took off the man's coat and hung it up with a tender look on his face.
"It's nothing to worry about. I just like helping beautiful ladies!" Alan Wilson raised his wrist and looked at the time. "There is a flight from British Jamaica. At the fastest, he should arrive in Paris in four days."
