Chapter 93: The Age of Glory Returns

Stalin knew exactly how far the Manhattan Project in the United States had progressed, and the news from the UK could only be said to be evidence, and there was no need to seek evidence, because this matter was too important.

It is so important that as soon as Fultseva mentioned it, Stalin believed that the British side had shown sincerity. Since it was a black box operation, there were naturally many aspects that were different from formal negotiations.

Of course, Stalin would not be polite about the support he needed. Since the Americans asked for it on their own initiative, it would be a pity for the good opportunity in front of them if they didn't ask for more.

In another room, Alan Wilson was happily reporting his achievements to Edward Bridges, and there was nothing to hide except for the killer weapon that was finally revealed. Selling any interests has already been decided long ago, and he is just a tool man who notifies the Soviet Union on behalf of the United Kingdom.

"I told the Soviets that the Americans just can't make up their minds. Once the Soviet Union can't express its sincerity, with the current strength of the United States, it is not impossible to fight independently."

Edward Bridges nodded, and said slowly, "Eifel said in today's report that the Soviets have loosened their tone and mentioned the idea of ​​​​giving the German commercial fleet to the Soviet Union as a mortgage. .”

"Then we can't agree that how long it will take to reach the Far East from Europe. Whether it is the Royal Navy or the US Navy, they can transport the Soviet army nearby." Alan Wilson said without thinking.

"The Americans have already said that they will consider it carefully." Edward Bridges broke Alan Wilson's fantasy, "It seems that this matter should be almost the same. I believe that during the exchanges between the leaders of the three countries, Truman also promised Stalin something. "

The new world overlord is still a little immature, maybe he has just moved from the Americas to the world stage, and he is not yet used to his new role.

Who made Truman, the president of the United States, just out of Novice Village, not have an experienced secretary of state by his side? This is all his own choice.

Edward Bridges had figured out what the problem was, but since it was an American problem, he couldn't say anything, otherwise it would be interference in the internal affairs of the Americans.

"In general, you have completed your task, and the conditions you agreed to are all within the allowable conditions. You will meet with the Soviets tomorrow. Set things up. Now the whole world is waiting for this meeting. A consensus." Edward Bridges stopped talking nonsense and praised Alan Wilson, "Whether it is a formal negotiation or a black-box operation, an agreement on both sides is the basis for reaching a consensus."

The meaning of the cabinet secretary, according to Alan Wilson's understanding, translates to that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. I just don't know if the Soviets will give the desired result tomorrow.

In the formal negotiations, the British delegation fully practiced the special relationship between Britain and the United States, put pressure on the American point of view, and expressed the common hatred and hatred between the two countries on the issue of fighting against Japan.

At the meeting, Eiffel strongly refuted the Soviet Union's statement that there was a neutrality treaty with Japan, "Germany also signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union in the past, which will not delay the final German raid on the Soviet Union. Don't pin your hopes on Japan."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked and won the approval of the Americans. It seemed that the glorious era of the British Empire had returned for a while.

"That man Eifel, apart from being tough on the French, is not tough on any country. It's just a show for the Americans. What can we do? Britain still owes the Americans money." When meeting with Fultseva the next day, Allen Wilson said that everything was a misunderstanding, and it was for making money.

After expressing his apology, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "Hasn't the Americans already let go and are willing to mortgage commercial transport ships from Germany to the Soviet Union. Eifel also proposed to coordinate with the British Empire's naval power in the Far East to help the Soviet Union." The Soviet Union completed the landing plan,

Of course, you Soviet people may be worried about relying on our two countries, but I believe that the Soviet Union does not have any sea power in the Far East. The Japanese navy only exists on paper now, and it is unknown whether it can go to sea. "

To put it bluntly, Alan Wilson has already been thinking about the remaining warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet to see if he can take up a little more share in the compensation. Even if the Royal Navy does not need it, monopoly is also possible. The Fallen Empire has come to this day, and it is necessary to learn to live on a budget.

"It's hard to imagine that the British Empire has such flexibility in looking at issues." Fultseva's words implied sarcasm, referring to formal negotiations and black-box operations, the two faces of the British.

"This is how the British Empire has survived for three hundred years. It's not a bad thing. You can't put all your eggs in one basket." Alan Wilson completely regarded Fultseva's words as a compliment. As long as the goal is achieved, listen to some He is also fully equipped with the disobedient mind.

"Britain is willing to deploy Far East forces to cooperate with the Soviet Union's landing. I wonder if there will be enough time?" Fultseva asked the last question, hoping that Alan Wilson would give assurances.

"This is not a problem. British power in Asia is under the jurisdiction of General Mountbatten. I happen to be the liaison officer to British India." Alan Wilson said that everything is on him, and this matter is not a problem.

If it was someone else, he would not dare to make this guarantee, but if this person is Mountbatten, Mountbatten's greatest wish is to kill Tokyo and let Japan fall into the same fate as Germany.

During the black-box operation, Alan Wilson stated that the United Kingdom agreed to let the Polish government-in-exile in London go, and how to deal with it was a matter for the Soviet Union. During the formal negotiations, after bargaining, the delegations of the United Kingdom and the United States expressed their willingness to hand over the German commercial transport ships to the Soviet Union as part of the compensation.

The issue of fighting against Japan has already dawned. Finally, when Stalin held summit talks with Truman and Churchill, he stated that as long as the conditions agreed by Britain and the United States were met, the Soviet Union could attack Japan and end the war.

On the evening of June 30, the first consensus on the Potsdam Conference was officially released, although the details were slightly different. Compared with the clear attitude of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union's statement is actually very skillful. It not only recognizes the war against Japan, but also does not say anything dead.

Compared with the reports of the United Kingdom and the United States, the clause of unconditional surrender was deliberately deleted from the statement of the Soviet Union.

But on the surface, this is also the British and American delegation, especially the British delegation, which has played a huge role in it. Of course, it is worth celebrating. Eifel has become the star of the British delegation, and he is full of ambitions. He is happy to see Alan Wilson He greeted, "Alan, what have you been doing these two days, you don't know my wonderful performance in the negotiation."

"I heard that the glorious era is back." Alan Wilson was greatly impressed.
