Chapter 483 A Generation of Peace

“Countries like these revolutions are trying too hard to prove something, and now it seems that the Far East for some time to come may have difficulties in that regard when it comes to contact. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be lifted altogether!”

Alan Wilson partially recognized the foreign minister’s opinion, then said, “We don’t understand all of it, the idea of these post-revolutionary states being established, just as we can’t understand why the French guillotined Louis XVI in the first place, but we’ll always get the hang of it as time settles in.”

“Speaking of which, on the matter of mediation, the Soviets have reacted coldly.” Roberts smiled bitterly when he heard Alan Wilson’s words, “The biggest problem is that the other side is not interested in our offer.”

“The mediation thing can be terminated.” Ernest Bevan sighed and took out the message from home, letting the accompanying diplomats see it, “There is no longer a need for mediation, what we should consider is what stance to take towards a newly emerged country.”

The message conveyed by Ernest Bevan, which Allen Wilson read could be explained in one sentence, A million men crossed the river.

This day is sooner or later will come, the only in the British point of view to know comfort is that the Purple Quartz incident did not appear.

For the current British, more than one thing is better than one thing, the purple quartz is just a frigate, nowadays the Royal Navy has hundreds of ships, but really want to accident London will not retaliate.

A pound is hard to beat, Britain to maintain the current size of the Royal Navy are racking their brains, which have other efforts?

“Honorable Foreign Secretary, this matter should actually worry the Americans more than us. It also involves an internal battle between the Republican and Democratic parties.” Alan Wilson rushed to Ernest Bevin to divulge, about Changgong taking American money to do American things, and then also being caught by Truman.

“The fall of the Far East to the Soviet Union is sure to send a huge shockwave through the United States.” Allen Wilson spoke, “Judging the next reaction of the Americans is extremely important, the situation in the Far East right now is just like the example on the Greek issue when you first visited Washington, Minister, and talked about it, there could be a domino effect.”

Needless to say, it’s actually time to consider thinking about being best friends with McCarthy; part of the foundation for the other side to make waves is ripe for the picking, and it’s now up to you to see how much of a storm you can make.

Ernest Bevan asked another question, Alan Wilson did not give advice, the formulation of foreign policy is, after all, the Foreign Secretary’s matter, such a big thing, the Cabinet will certainly be in the next period of time more than one discussion.

But one thing is to be expected, in the coming period, Xiangjiang will welcome a large influx of population. This could be the last batch of immigrants that Malaya absorbs, and the work of balancing the ethnic groups further down the line may not be so easy.

At the same time, Foltseva, the first secretary of Moscow’s Volodymyr district, who had returned home, hugged her son, educated the future successors of the Soviets, and vowed to crush the spokesmen of imperialism.

The old imperialist spokesman, out of the teachings of the Foreign Minister, came to the Volonzhi district again the next day with alacrity. Originally Foltseva did not want to meet, but Alan Wilson came to the door, not seeing as if there was something yes between the two, and agreed to meet anyway.

“Regarding a small misunderstanding yesterday, please forgive my haste, for which I prepared a gentlemanly apology.” Alan Wilson, with the help of an interpreter, expressed his apology for yesterday’s argument.

“I accept your apology!” Foltseva held her head high, still looking like she would do anything to defend the Soviets.

This made Allen Wilson shake his head in disbelief and discounted the sincerity of the apology as soon as he opened his mouth, “If all of you Soviets are like this, I believe that diplomatic friction in the future will still not be rare. What we have to admit is that making this kind of appearance is of little use, according to your words, this belongs to formalism. Dear Ms. Foltseva, there are a large number of nationalized enterprises appearing in Britain nowadays, in fact, I visited the factories in the Soviet Union because I wanted to see the approach on top of factory management.”

Alan Wilson pretends to be our man here in Foltseva by divulging about the nationalization movement in Britain.

He believed that some understanding would certainly be beneficial, after all, this was a country that had been fighting against the United States for decades, and a planned economy certainly wouldn’t be as useless as it was said to be in the latter days.

Let’s just say that each country has its own faults, and the issue cannot be generalized, and didn’t Prime Minister Adderley say that he wanted to combine the virtues of capitalism and socialism ……

Even if it’s in the tradition of the British Empire to join in and stir up the other side from within, that’s what should be done.

If it hadn’t been for the storm it might have caused, Alan Wilson would have wanted to buy a few Soviet writings and go back to see how on earth he could run a nationalized enterprise well.

But considering the issue of career, this matter should be forgotten, what can be done completely through the intelligence department, there is no need for him to personally throw his head in the sand.

Alan Wilson took the initiative to ease the relationship with Foltseva, but was met with a cold reception from the big hairy girl, the face was like seeing a class enemy, this cross-eyed Alan Wilson just as if he didn’t know, and finally joked, “If the lady has always looked like this, I don’t know if it’s too late to join the Ministry of the Interior?”

Foltseva gave Allen Wilson a deep look, and in his heart, I can let my son in.

Apologizing, Alan Wilson ended this tussle with Foltseva and went on to talk to the Soviets about transparent mechanisms for the occupation forces, although nominally, the current British visit was explained to the Americans as “pressure on the Soviet Union to mediate in the war in the Far East.”

Since yesterday, however, this claim has been automatically bankrupt, and back in Britain, the Foreign Office will naturally explain to the United States that the pressure is late.

Instead, the overriding aim now is to ease the atmosphere of confrontation in Europe and to emphasize that it is in the interests of both sides for each to take a step back. The question of the Far East is a matter of American concern, and Britain is concerned only with the immediate Europe.

In this case, Britain had to ask for help, hoping that the Soviet Union would withdraw even one division and publicize it, which could be regarded as a great diplomatic achievement, but this request was also mutual, in terms of the general environment, the Soviet Union is the one who is not willing to confront.

Only if the Soviet Union showed goodwill could Britain and the United States dawdle over the merger of the three occupied territories.

This matter is definitely not a matter of Britain taking advantage of the situation for nothing, and can only be said to be beneficial to both sides.

“The size of the Soviet army in Germany is too large, it should be reduced by one group army, even if it is one division, it is a huge contribution to détente, in an environment where bayonets are held to the chest, it is a danger to both sides.” Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, “And the establishment of a transparency mechanism would increase strategic mutual trust between the two sides and avoid a state of rubbing shoulders. For this reason, London, as well as Paris, believes that the Soviet Union should not reject this proposal, which would further complicate an already unstable situation.”

“How do we know that this proposal is not an imperialist plot, it is well known that the outbreak of the World War was connected with the British policy of appeasement, in fact, it would have been possible to eliminate the danger while the Germans were still not very strong, as for the British bogeyman’s gimmick, it is not a secret.”

Gromyko sneered, pointing out that Britain’s role in the midst of the Second World War was far from what it is today.

“There has been a lot of soul-searching about the World War, and there is a viewpoint that is right in line with what Mr. Gromeko said. That is a part of the voice that believes that we cannot repeat the policy of appeasement. So we should stand firmly with the U.S. and adopt a policy of containment against the Soviet Union, and I wonder what Gromeko has to say about that?”

Alan Wilson practiced the operation of looking at anyone who is left-wing as long as I myself am right-wing enough. The policy of appeasement was directly recognized and it was pointed out that a part of the people were treating the Soviet Union and Germany as one problem, and that the lesson learned from the policy of appeasement was to blockade the Soviet Union right away, and even to move faster than the United States, and to lead the United States by example.

If the policy of appeasement was the mistake Gromeko said it was, then Britain is now perfectly capable of correcting that mistake.

Gromeko, who had the ball kicked back at him, had a rather hard time and could only skim over the subject, mentioning that certain imperialist spies, who had been wreaking havoc in the Soviet-occupied territories, had been destabilizing the peace and order there.

It must have been a crime of passion, or at least that’s what Alan Wilson thought, and opened his mouth to explain, “It wasn’t the British who did it, so why didn’t the Soviets put their suspicions on the Americans? I think about that, it’s still up for debate.”

“Begging or this tone?” In the middle of Stalin’s office in the Kremlin, Comrade Steel was all smiles.

To not because of this matter to produce any bad mood, after all, for the current Soviet Union, the Far East is the most happy thing, Europe is certainly at all times to the Soviet Union’s highest priority direction, but the current détente, but also can reduce the hostility, as the British said, this is beneficial to both sides.

“Let us make a gesture of détente for the time being, and time is on our side.” Hearing Stalin’s statement, Molotov nodded, he already knew what to do.

Now that the Kremlin had made its decision, the rest was in order. Ernest Bevin’s current trip had been a complete success and had made a great contribution to peace in Europe.

“I wonder what the newspapers at home will report!” Alan Wilson moved his somewhat stiff neck and said with great relief.

Roberts thought for half a second and spoke, “A generation of peace?”

“You want our foreign minister to get off the plane waving the treaty in his hand and shouting that I’ve brought it back?” Alan Wilson frowned derisively, referring to Prime Minister Chamberlain’s reenactment of yesterday.
