Chapter 102 Three Questions
The oil in the Middle East was extremely important to the British Empire, and Prime Minister Airdrie was rightfully concerned; if the Soviet Union could be made to guarantee the security of Iran, it would certainly be beneficial to the current British Empire.
If the Soviet Union calmed down, Britain would have no reason to turn to the United States for help, and in the end, step by step, give up its interests in the Middle East. This Alan Wilson can fully understand, as for the issue of Turkey, considering the Soviet Union and Turkey’s hereditary enmity, the relationship between the two countries is not destined to be too good.
And the style of the Soviet Union can also prove this from the side, even if you get a military base in Turkey, it is not possible to make Turkey oriented to the Soviet Union, in the final analysis a base is simply not enough.
A lot of people actually exaggerate the role of a separate military base, the latter days of the Esudan in the case of the presence of US military bases in Turkey, as well as the United States to get extremely annoyed, which shows that the influence of a separate military base is limited.
As for Japan and Germany, that’s another issue, Japan is pinched to death by the U.S., down to Tokyo as the core of Honshu Island, the existence of many U.S. military bases. It’s not about Okinawa at all, if the US had only existed military bases in Okinawa, the Japanese leash would have been propped open a long time ago.
This can be proved by the example of Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany was created by the merger of the British, American and French occupations. Many of the NATO countries had garrisons in Germany, a situation in which Germany could not really be independent.
The main countries targeted by the Square Deal were actually two, one of which was Japan and the other was Germany. Normally, Germany should have been as devastated as Japan from then on. But the collapse of the Soviet Union saved Germany!
The collapse of the Soviet Union gave up the Eastern European market, but also gave Germany the opportunity to get back its autonomy, the Soviet Union garrison withdrew from the GDR, the entire territory of the GDR no longer have foreign troops, Germany seized the opportunity to disregard the poor economic conditions of the GDR relocated to Dublin, since then the center of the German state, away from the clampdown of the western foreign garrison.
From that time on, Germany and Japan were completely different, Germany jumped into the heart of the European Union, Japan is still in the hands of the United States in the plaything. If you look at the map of German foreign garrisons you can see that there were no foreign military bases in the original GDR.
When the Soviet Union had problems, Britain and France actually found the possibility of Germany regaining its autonomy, almost taking money to the door to request the Soviet Union, economic problems have no relationship, Britain and France are willing to take money to help the Soviet Union through difficult times, but in the end, did not stop the map of the Gogol to commit suicide.
Britain and France after decades of wanting to save the Soviet Union, and just after the end of World War II to prevent the United States of America’s heart is the same. The USSR was certainly an enemy, and the US was definitely not a good friend, and once the enemy was gone, the so-called close allies would only ride on their heads and feed them shit.
After the collapse of the USSR, Britain and France went down rather than up in the eyes of the U.S. Britain was soon subjected to a financial attack by the U.S. France was even listed as the second competitor after the USSR.
With the eye on doing something to France, the turn of the century years were actually quite difficult for the French.
What was now on the horizon was that Prime Minister Adderley and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, felt that former Prime Minister Churchill and former Foreign Secretary Robert Aidan, were not doing their jobs. Instead it sold out Eastern Europe yet to get something back in return.
Right in the middle of the room there had been discussions about how to get Austria back and how to put pressure on the Soviet Union, and the two men believed that the United States wouldn’t be happy with what the Soviet Union was doing either.
But that’s not necessarily true, Allen Wilson had already seen in Potsdam that Truman was actually rather average. The reason why he seemed to have more initiative than Churchill was entirely because the US was propped up by its national power.
If Truman had been the present British Prime Minister, he might have been directly played by Stalin, and might not have been as good as Churchill, who could still say that he had the will to kill a thief but could not do anything about it.
As the direct executor of the backroom operation, Alan Wilson was fortunate enough to learn that the new prime minister and the new foreign minister on the Potsdam Conference expectations, both to find a way to unite the United States to get back Austria, to ensure that Iran is free from the Soviet Union’s security threat. If necessary, concessions could be made on the right of passage through the Dardanelles.
In the final analysis, Prime Minister Adderley, who has just finished accusing the Tories of selling out Eastern Europe, still needs to operate in the dark to ensure the interests of the British Empire, only with a different focus.
Alan Wilson, of course, for the interests of the British Empire to go through the fire, compared to Turkey, he also believes that Iran is more important, as for the Austrian issue, not to restore Austria to its original state, it is estimated that the Potsdam Conference will not end.
The two prime ministers look at things differently, which is also very normal, even if it is a person also has a fine time, before Germany attacked France, Churchill also wanted to once the Soviet Union and Germany went to war, Germany, if it does not go well, Britain should assist Germany.
Germany attacked France first, Churchill could only sell his blood to assist the Soviet Union against his imperialist conscience.
Because of the parachuting in of a new prime minister, the Potsdam Conference saw another change to a certain extent, the impact of which would be revealed in the next few days.
In fact, truth be told, the Potsdam Conference was already moving much faster than it had historically, a reflection of the need for backroom deals.
Alan Wilson, who had been given a new assignment, followed Foreign Office Secretary Alexander Cadogan out of the Prime Minister’s room.
“What do you think makes our new Prime Minister different from Mr. Churchill.” Alexander Cadogan asked.
“The war against Japan is still theoretically possible if Mr. Churchill is the Prime Minister. As for Prime Minister Adderley, there is no theory at all and we will never join in.” Alan Wilson replied after a moment of silence, “The new Prime Minister is obviously more focused on seniority than Mr. Churchill, and I wonder if there will be twists and turns in British India in the future.”
“That’s what Sir Edward is worried about!” Alexander Cadogan sighed, “Mr. Churchill may be more in line with our expectations when it comes to British India.”
And only possibly! Alan Wilson said in his heart, he could only continue to prepare for the meeting with Foltseva.
To tell the truth he simply did not want to continue to sell out interests, before the operation of the refugee problem, enhance the Soviet Union’s already unfavorable geographic disadvantage, Yugoslavia has been the probability will be because of the large number of foreign opposition oriented to the Soviet Union, and he thought that this would be enough.
If the Soviet Union in getting access to the Black Sea control, will become more difficult to deal with? One can only pray that the Soviets are doing well against Japan, getting good ports from Japan and taking their attention away from Europe. After all, I still didn’t expect to get the refugee problem to end up so big that the USSR got a hold of it.
Austria, Turkey and Iran, is Allen Wilson’s main homework for this underhanded operation, and before the difference is that he is not prepared to let Foltseva smoothly take advantage of it, and the hairy girl can not.
