Chapter 615 Fatty Qiu Arrives

In one's life, there will always be some unexpected big things that happen quietly when one is unaware of them.

Just like when Bush Jr. visited the elementary school and the children laughed and talked, he would not have thought that this daring guy would dare to send someone to hijack a plane and crash it into a building. People on earth would never dream that Comrade Chuan Jianguo would order the US troops stationed in Iraq to directly arrange a certain active major general.

Malashenko, who was busy helping in the factory and personally taking part in the battle, also did not expect that a prime minister from the country of black tea had already taken a special plane to enter the airspace of the Soviet Union under the gunfire.

During World War II, almost no passenger plane was comfortable enough. Sitting in this shaky and slightly uncomfortable plane, Churchill, who had just left Downing Street, missed the comfort of sitting in the office drinking black tea served by his secretary.

If it wasn't for the time when he had to go personally, Churchill would never want to fly to Moscow from the sky above the war zone between the Soviet Union and Germany. This was no different from dancing on the edge of a knife.

"Why can't this damn plane take more fuel and take a detour!?"

Churchill thought angrily in his heart.

Before coming to Moscow, Churchill had specifically asked Admiral Dowding, the former commander of the British Royal Air Force, who had retired and was at home, whether the fighter planes currently used by the Germans on the Soviet battlefield were powerful or not. Perhaps he wanted to find psychological comfort for himself.

But the answer Churchill got made him feel a little scared.

Admiral Dowding told Churchill that the BF109 F series fighters newly developed by the Germans were not worse than the Spitfire of the Royal Air Force, and the "Butcher Bird" FW190, which had just appeared, was also a very scary opponent.

In short, if Churchill's plane was intercepted by the German Air Force, Lieutenant General Dowding suggested that Churchill immediately parachute to win a glimmer of hope. Of course, if the German pilots realized that it was an unarmed plane and not a bomber and did not launch an attack, but was just threatening to accompany the flight, Admiral Dowding felt that in this case, saving his life first was the best choice.

As for the first prime minister in the history of the British Empire to surrender, who would care about these as long as he could survive?

Churchill, who was a little terrified, was always worried that German fighters would come out from an unknown direction and suddenly shoot at his special plane.

Although he was very nervous, Churchill had to pretend to be calm on the surface, otherwise, if the Prime Minister panicked, what would you do to the others on the plane.

Later generations often said that Churchill was the most fickle "politician with a thousand faces". He could regard the Soviet Union as a mortal enemy and publicly scold and promote anti-Bolshevik spirit. Churchill hated the Bolsheviks who killed the entire family of the Tsar, who was related to the British royal family, from the bottom of his heart, and he did not hide his thoughts even in public.

Similarly, for the safety of the British Empire and the downfall of Hitler, Churchill could change his face faster than turning a page and instantly put on the same pants with the Soviet Union and sing the song of brotherhood. He used the sentence "The danger facing the Soviet Union is the danger facing our British Empire!" to scold the idiots in the parliament who opposed aid to the Soviet Union.

The politician with a thousand faces is Churchill's political face. The image of a man with a black hat on his head and a Chicago typewriter in his hand is the best embodiment of Churchill's tough attitude towards Hitler.

Compared with the red Bolsheviks who made the entire European camp fear like a tiger, Churchill could clearly realize that Hitler was a more terrible flood and beast, and took the initiative to persuade Roosevelt to increase aid to the Soviet Union.

In this regard alone, Churchill is many times stronger than the former Prime Minister Chamberlain who was forced to step down because of the abortion of the appeasement policy.

The purpose of Churchill's trip to the Soviet Union was to bring an extremely unfortunate news to Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union: the US-British coalition decided not to open the Western Front in 1942.

At around 5pm, the sun still showed no sign of setting. Churchill's plane's landing gear rubbed against the runway, making a harsh noise and slowly landed at Moscow Airport.

As soon as Churchill, who was a little bloated, stepped out of the plane, he saw the flags of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union flying in front of him and the neatly arranged Soviet Red Army guard of honor.

Churchill understood that Stalin at this moment did not know the disappointing news he was about to bring him. Such a grand welcome ceremony at the airport was obviously prepared for the previous Tripartite Treaty.

"I hope this little shoemaker from Georgia will not make things too difficult for me"

Walking down the gangway with an uneasy mood, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, who came to greet Churchill, immediately responded with a warm smile and hurriedly greeted him.

"Welcome to you, Prime Minister, the good news you bring is enough to excite all the Soviet military and civilians!"

As soon as they met, he put a high hat on Churchill's forehead without saying a word.

Churchill, known as a politician with a thousand faces, knew exactly what the extremely cunning Molotov was thinking, and his response was just a fake smile to change the subject.

"Of course, we'll talk while we walk."

The American delegation also came on the special plane with Churchill, including Harriman, the special representative of US President Roosevelt.

Out of praise for the friendship of the three-nation alliance, the Red Army honor guard at the airport played the national anthems of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union with passionate music. Churchill, who kept a habitual smile from beginning to end, reviewed the spirited Soviet Red Army honor guard accompanied by Molotov. This group of outstanding young men gave Churchill more confidence that Stalin could stop Hitler.

"I have to say that you Russians have a great army. It seems that Hitler will eventually die in your hands."

Churchill, who said this to Molotov casually, would never have thought that Hitler, a madman who he thought was really capable, would actually die in the hands of the Russians.

After staying at the place arranged in Moscow, Churchill chatted with Harriman, the special representative of the US President, and discussed how to tactfully tell Stalin this big news later.

Not long after, Churchill and Harriman received an invitation. The Soviet leader and father Comrade Stalin was waiting to meet them in the Kremlin.

"How do you plan to tell Stalin this news? Tell him directly? Or give him a hint to let him understand it himself?"

Faced with Harriman's whisper, Churchill, who had already made up his mind, waved his hands helplessly.

"To be honest, if Stalin is still not satisfied, then I can only add a few more numbers to the aid list for him, hoping that this will slightly offset his anger. Of course, this is the same for you Americans."
