Chapter 626 Diplomat Aiden

In the entire expeditionary force, less than a few hundred people came back, and Montgomery was the highest rank among them. Although he was a defeated general, when Montgomery came back, he was promoted to one level. Nothing else, he was already a member of the British army. One of the few generals who has fought against the Germans, and his experience is quite valuable.

After returning, Montgomery quickly concluded that the first is that the new tank must fully compete with the Germans in terms of firepower, mobility, and protection! The United Kingdom is an old industrial country. At this time, the strong industrial heritage is displayed, and various factories have begun to work hard to design new tanks.

At the same time, Montgomery also knew that what Britain needs most is time!

It is hard to accept the loss of the colonies of India out of the glory of the empire, but, compared with the fate of England, it is better to lose the colonies than the mainland.

Montgomery, support.

"However, we must take precautionary measures. After all, the Soviets and we are not in the same trench. We must absolutely prevent that the Soviets take our India, but do not go to war with the Germans, or just use small border harassment. To fool us and let us hand over India to them is absolutely not acceptable," Montgomery continued.

Montgomery was very thoughtful. Right now, the UK cannot trust the Soviet Union, so even if the UK can agree to this deal, it will have to wait until the Soviet Union really attacks Germany!

Otherwise, the Soviets took advantage of this opportunity to rob India of the United Kingdom, and then turned their faces and refused to admit it, then the United Kingdom had no other way.

Now, Britain has weakened.

Churchill nodded. "Yes, we have to take these things into consideration."

The Soviet Union is indeed capricious. At the beginning, Poland's position was like this. Britain and France once made an invitation, and the Soviet Union also promised to attack Germany to protect Poland. However, the result?

The Soviet Union did not hesitate to divide Poland with Germany. The Soviet Union was simply a capricious villain.

If Britain traded India for the Soviet Union to fight Germany, it would be worthwhile, but if it gave India to the Soviet Union and the Soviets did not send troops, the Churchill government would become the laughing stock of the world.

"Okay, now, I will sign the Prime Minister's order to push forward this agreement with all my strength!" Churchill ignored these objections from his subordinates. Now, he must be responsible for the empire!

If the Soviets have brains, they should know that once Germany completes the process of annexing France, it will become a giant, and at that time, it will definitely be a threat to the Soviet Union!

Taking advantage of the current emptiness in eastern Germany, attacking Germany and destroying Germany is the best choice for the Soviet Union! Hope Stalin doesn't let himself down!

With an order signed by Churchill, the famous British diplomat Robert Anthony Eden hurriedly boarded a plane to Moscow.

Aiden, born in 1897, is now in his prime. Like Churchill, he belongs to the hard-line representative.

From the moment he stepped into the political arena, Aiden showed a tougher attitude towards fascist countries than his predecessors.

He once said, "You must not make concessions just to appease Germany, because that would backfire and make her appetite grow."

When Germany tore up the Locarno Pact and marched into the Rhine demilitarized zone, Aiden twice met with the German ambassador to the UK to condemn Nazi Germany's breach of contract.

Unfortunately, Aiden's foreign policy vision is at odds with Chamberlain's. Chamberlain dreamed of what he called "a generation of peace" by making concessions and sacrificing the interests of others. Aiden, on the other hand, called for diplomacy backed by military strength, otherwise "there will be no hope of any foreign policy in this warring world."

The conflict between the two was irreconcilable, and in the end Aiden resigned and left the cabinet.

It was not until Churchill became prime minister that Aiden finally returned to the British political stage. He and Churchill had the same position and cooperated well. Now, Aiden is almost Churchill's deputy.

Aiden knew that if there were other plans, he would not use India to feed the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the United Kingdom had no choice. He could also see that if the Soviet Union went to war against Germany, the United Kingdom would be able to slow down.

Stalin, will he agree to his request?

In this regard, Aiden has no bottom at all. After all, the Soviet Union has been vilified by the West, and Germany has always been appeasing the Soviet Union.

The sky over Europe is almost dominated by Germans. Aiden's passenger plane took the risk of taking a detour over the Arctic Circle. When he arrived in Moscow, more than ten hours had passed, and he was already very tired.

The British ambassador to the Soviet Union, Gies, came to greet Aiden. This time, he was on a secret visit.

"Two hours ago, I informed the Soviet government that they had arranged for Molotov, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, to meet you," said Guise.

Aiden frowned immediately: "What? Stalin still doesn't want to see me?"

Of course, Aiden hoped to meet Stalin directly, but now, the other party has arranged for a deputy.

Guise nodded: "Yes, it is very likely that the Soviets want to overweight."

Aiden clenched his fist, and there was only one possibility. When he came here solemnly this time, the other party knew that he was forced to accept the original conditions. However, the other party was still not satisfied, what else did they ask for?

This is already Britain's biggest concession. If the Soviets are not satisfied, then Britain will not continue to compromise!

Soon, they came to the building where the Foreign Affairs Committee was located.

At this time, the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, known as one of the Seven Sisters of Moscow, has not yet been erected. It is just a five-storey ordinary building. Right at the door of the building, Molotov cordially received the visiting Aiden and his party. .

In fact, Molotov came to meet them, and the specifications are sufficient. Moreover, the current Molotov is still a popular man in front of Stalin and a faithful executor of Stalin's line.

"Mr. Molotov, I'm coming to Moscow now for what we discussed last time." Sitting down, Molotov went straight to the point.

In diplomacy, it is necessary to be more subtle. Whoever proposes it first will be at a disadvantage, but now, Aiden has no time to greet each other, time is precious.

"Are you willing to hand over the Indian subcontinent to our management?" Molotov asked.

The Indian region under British rule is not a country of later India, but a large area of ​​territory including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar, etc. These territories form a loose colony, which is connected into a large area, also known as the Indian subcontinent.

"Yes, but we can hand over it only after you declare war on Germany and dispatch your troops to enter Germany," Aiden said.
