Chapter 110 First Nuclear Blackmail
A man can have a gun and not use it, but can not be without a gun, this mentality is exactly President Truman’s real portrayal now.
Even Truman heart some remorse, how the Potsdam Conference so smooth, the vast majority of the issues have been talked about, so that they now have no use, the heart is no longer before eagerly looking forward to the Soviet Union to open the war against Japan’s anxiety.
But the Potsdam Conference is such a big thing, every day occupies the headlines of newspapers, every day’s progress is known by the whole world, the talk has been talked about, he can do nothing now.
In order to get the Soviet Union to enter the war, the United States likewise sold out a lot of national interests to the Soviet Union, as did Britain.
Now although the hands of the nuclear bomb, self-conscious already bottom, and in the world witnessed directly and Stalin flip. For a political figure, this risk is still very high.
Especially now the United States, the United States must now show a higher sense of morality than other countries in order to buy people’s hearts and minds, from the hands of Britain and France to take over the hegemony of the world, and by the way to complete the task of suppressing the Soviet Union.
Thinking is simple, but do all this need time to slowly adjust, domestic consensus and public opinion support is missing, when the president of the Truman, do not want the first time in the world’s media screen brush, is to a flip-flop face.
Truman is still young, if it is the twenty-first century to understand the king, certainly will not have so many concerns.
Because of various reasons, Truman could not overturn the previous resolution, but to find an occasion to give Stalin a downward spiral is still possible, Truman hidden behind the lenses of the eyes, filled with the color of leaping.
Before the meeting, Truman acted very excited when he met Stalin and Churchill, as if a young child suddenly saw his favorite idol, forgetting that he was now also one of the Big Three.
But now, with a never-before-seen weapon like the nuclear bomb in his hands, Truman thought he could move back into the game.
After all, Potsdam was in Soviet-occupied Germany, and while the Potsdam Conference was going on, most of the supplies were provided by the Soviet Union, with Stalin himself hosting a number of state dinners in honor of Churchill and Truman, and of course the British delegates were later replaced with the new Prime Minister, Adderley.
With the various subjects having been talked over and the tension between the delegates relaxing, the Soviet state dinners instead became more and more frequent, and seemed to be a celebration of the coming victory.
In the evening, the Séchirinhof Palace is brightly lit, the big three Stalin, Truman and Adderley, plus the British adviser Churchill are in the hall, the hall is a red wine, British, American and Soviet diplomats have to raise a glass, and many days since the negotiation rivals to clink glasses to show friendship and unity.
Alan Wilson did not avoid eating, since the enemy Soviet Union to provide supplies, he is not polite. The rest of his eyes flashed to see Foltseva in the middle of the Soviet crowd.
It must be said that although Foltseva has been more than thirty years old, can stand there still look very outstanding, some crane feeling, before this has let a few U.S. want to be a fly on the wall of the diplomats to stay away.
“Heh, Americans! Even if we lose a place where there are only orangutans, I don’t doubt that the Americans will come to a cross-species exchange.” Alan Wilson muttered in a low voice to Avril, causing the latter to snicker.
“Alan, why don’t you try it?” Erfle spoke with a pep talk, “Let the American hicks know that the gentlemen of the British Empire are definitely different from them.”
Alan Wilson took a deep look at the unsuspecting insulting French vanguard, mentally wishing the other party a place in the embassy in France soon, but straightened his back and walked towards the Soviets, “Respectable lady, you’re so mesmerizing, I’ve already seen several American recognitions hit the nail from you.”
Foltseva did not want to take care of Alan Wilson, but this kind of occasion she can not get too stiff, can only pile up a smiling face and Alan Wilson have a chat, Ai Fuer in the British delegates in the crowd, let out a burst of laughter as a cheer for Alan Wilson.
On the other hand, Truman found an opportunity to carry out the first blackmail of his presidential career, the object is in the hearts of people around the world has a huge prestige of Stalin, looking for a topic, Truman pretended to be mysterious but could not hide the smugness of the Road, “Honorable Field Marshal, to tell you a secret, we have created a new type of bomb. This bomb is unusual, its destructive power is unimaginable.”
Truman opened his mouth and said Stalin’s rank, and said such words, facing the first nuclear blackmail in the history of mankind, Stalin’s face remained unchanged, but he already knew the fact that the nuclear test was successful by heart, and smiled with a sincere tone, “Then we should use him on the Japanese, and end the war at an early date.”
Truman froze and shook his head bitterly at Churchill, maybe Stalin didn’t even know the power of nuclear bombs, how could he expect the other to be surprised?
Those two idiots! Stalin eyes flashed a trace of contempt, although the surface does not move, but he has already determined that just now Truman is blackmailing him, seeing that Truman is no longer the respectful look when the meeting first began, he understood that the United States has now changed, and at the same time, he is also glad that the Soviet Union’s war against Japan has begun long ago.
The exchange of words between the heads of state, already have some knowledge of the toolman Allen Wilson is naturally unaware of, he is still circling around Foltseva, “I believe that the friendship of our several countries in the past two years will not change, I do not know that Ms. Foltseva know Britain well?”
“Ms. Vivien Leigh is well known in the Soviet Union.” Foltseva thought back for a moment and seemed to think of something all of a sudden, “If I do get the chance to meet her, I’m sure I’ll be very excited.”
Before the war, Vivien Leigh and Olivier had both appeared in Mrs. Hamilton, which had been a huge hit in the United States and a success in the USSR, and Foltseva had seen that movie.
Worthy of the Minister of Culture, after all was said and done, it was still affixed to the line of work. While thinking this in his heart, Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, “If one day the lady comes to England, I believe that Vivienne would be very willing to get acquainted with you, and this might be a joyous event between our two countries.”
The two talk to each other shrimp, naturally do not know just talk about cultural things, the first time in the history of mankind’s nuclear blackmail has appeared, if Alan Wilson knows, did not see the famous scene will not regret it, the nuclear bomb is not necessarily let him bow down, the same hairy girl is not necessarily, so this formula is probably a nuclear bomb is approximately equal to a hairy girl.
The Potsdam Conference has entered the end, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have begun to draft a communiqué, wait a few days after the announcement.
