Chapter 703 Stalin’s Funeral
At the end of the discussion, took out a report on the new leadership of the Soviet Union, may lead to a détente, which report elaborated, this may be the end of the Berlin crisis opportunity terms, at this time the United Kingdom has a huge attraction.
Make the judgment that the situation may be eased, Alan Wilson is based on his own memory to make choices. Of the present Soviet leadership, only Molotov was considered to be thinking in line with Stalin.
And what Khrushchev would do later, Allen Wilson had seen. As for Malinkov and Beria, both were advocating much the same thing, and Beria specifically stated that he wanted to bring about the reunification of Germany, which was easier to deal with than Stalin, no matter who it was.
In fact, the biggest reason was the Korean War, which Stalin was strongly in favor of, and very much wanted to seize the opportunity to bleed the United States. After Stalin’s death, there was an armistice in the Korean War in less than four months.
Having this general background is the reason to judge that the Soviet leadership after Stalin will not be looking for trouble in the short term.
What is certain is that with the situation as it is now, any little change that occurs can be considered a good change. Just as it would be good to compare what Britain was like in the twenty-first century, and how Alan Wilson tossed the present Britain around.
What Britain has to do now then is simple, it should exert its influence to bring about the end of the Berlin Crisis and the Korean War.
The Berlin Crisis concerns the security of Europe, and the Korean War in this time and space, after all, Britain did not send ground troops to participate in the war, eyes closed to say that they are a neutral country, is also perfectly fine.
These two articles were also sent to Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke as the centerpiece of this assessment.
“The Prime Minister is inclined to make a personal trip to the Soviet Union, especially after seeing your two core articles.” After a day’s interval, Norman Brooke asked his private secretary to call Alan Wilson over and opened his mouth to instruct, “This is actually a very bold move for a politician.”
“Verve! It might cause a dip in approval ratings.” Alan Wilson frowned slightly, “Perhaps my suggestion is a bit radical and possesses a riskiness that should be avoided.”
“After the storm surge, the cabinet’s approval ratings were high. The Prime Minister may feel that this trip will help increase political prestige if he can make a mark in the diplomatic field.”
After Norman Brooke’s words, Alan Wilson made a dawning realization expression, “So it’s like this ……”
“Allen, in fact, you didn’t have a lot of contact with the Soviets, the Potsdam Conference you attended.” Norman Brooke thought for a moment and said, “I added your name to the list of the entourage, utilizing on the extent of your understanding of the international situation to assist the Prime Minister in completing this visit.”
In the final analysis, Stalin’s funeral was not a formal diplomatic occasion, yet it could be utilized for diplomatic work. Prime Minister Airdrie chose to attend this funeral for justifiable reasons.
“Of course, I am honored to have such an opportunity to accompany you. Now we can see what the Soviet-controlled world looks like in the midst of this visit, which will also help in future assessments of the Soviet Union.” Alan Wilson had taken a bit of a leap of faith.
In fact, it didn’t take much thought to realize that half the world was in mourning right now, and Allen Wilson didn’t think it was fake.
Time is urgent, has been the best of Alan Wilson decided to find Hedy Lamarr to pour a little parting feelings, the past two days he has been watching the new face, called 007 vs. Casino Royale, priced at ten shillings and sixpence.
“Is this going behind enemy lines and is thinking about his destiny to change the world?” Hedy Lamarr played with the murder weapon and hemmed and hawed, “When do we leave?”
“Tomorrow!” Alan Wilson helplessly put down his hand, diverting Hedy Lamarr’s attention, “I think this could be changed into a script, what do you think?”
“A secret agent movie? A very novel classification then.” Hedy Lamarr drew back her little hand, fondly.
“It could be a very big selling series oh!” Alan Wilson said with certainty, “Look at the current environment, it’s actually very suitable for this category to play, in fact, the elements are very simple, the first one should be relevant to the international situation, and the second one should have the presence of beautiful women, and men, as the main force of the box office, like this kind.”
That’s the kind of thing that men care about, and key politics plus beautiful women is a no-brainer presence for male viewers in the middle of a movie.
Alan Wilson, who was about to go on a foreign tour, spent his last night in London and set off on his journey with the Prime Minister and his party.
The trip was dedicated to reaching a fruitful diplomatic outcome on such an occasion, and it made perfect sense.
Interviews with the new Soviet leadership would help Britain’s diplomacy with the USSR in the future.
Although there wasn’t a great deal of time, every member of the group, including Prime Minister Adderley, was in high spirits.
“From what we have gathered earlier, we have been informed that the leaders of all the countries of Eastern Europe will be present. Western Europe is about the same, with Dolores of France, Palmiro Togliatti of Italy, and others all making their way to Moscow as well. How influential the Soviet Union is today, this funeral is something I believe everyone can see.”
“It is for this reason that this trip is still significant, and there is a saying in the East that it is better to hear a hundred things than to see them.”
The Comet Specialized Plane was already approaching the Moscow Airport, and Prime Minister Adderley was also talking freely about the significance of this trip.
With such a prime minister, it is no wonder that the Americans always feel that Britain is unreliable, but before his trip, Aidley had already communicated with U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, hoping that he could take advantage of such an occasion to look for an opportunity to bring about an end to this round of confrontation.
Prime Minister Aidley also just figure a fun, Allen Wilson for the sake of the British Empire, indicating that the purpose of the British trip, mainly in the test, as long as McCarthy do not spit on this matter again, will be able to solve the UK a lot of diplomatic pressure.
Attend Stalin’s funeral is just a front, the most important thing is to establish the British Empire’s international influence.
At this time half of the world places are turned into a huge place of mourning, people gathered in the countryside, factories, squares, listening to the mourning coming out of the radio, with serious expressions. It felt like a genius had disappeared and there was no one left to lead them forward.
These people from cities, mountains, villages, mines and factories gathered spontaneously to mourn Comrade Stalin. Wreaths were piled up all over Red Square, and the grieving people poured in like ocean waves, generals, workers, artists, and paupers alike, with tears on their cheeks, feeling like old fathers leaving behind a group of children who didn’t know where they were going.
Leaders of other countries also gathered, their faces solemn, also grieving the death of this Soviet leader.
Stalin’s funeral began in grand style at 4 p.m. The entire Red Square was packed, with red flags everywhere. But with so many people gathered, there was not a hint of clamor.
The leadership of the Soviet Union held Stalin’s coffin, and Alan Wilson hid in the crowd of foreign guests, remembering the men muttering in faintly detectable voices, “The first one on the left with the bowler hat is Beria, and he really does have the most influence in the Soviet Union these days.”
Those who carried Stalin’s coffin were all high Soviet officials, and within them were Khrushchev and Beria. Thereafter, Beria quickly assumed power in the country, taking over power without hindrance and continuously consolidating his position and power by enacting reforms. In the struggle for power, however, Beria was eventually defeated by Khrushchev.
“He does know his stuff!” Not far away, a man and a woman were also watching the scene, and it looked strange next to the two. There seemed to be something invisible separating the two from the others.
“Keep your voice down!” The woman chided the man with some anger and whispered, “Just take a look.”
“Got it! No one else can hear it either.” The man obediently kept his mouth shut, it wasn’t like he hadn’t been there before, he had even experienced two similar occasions a long, long time ago when he had been in the position he was now in with Belial.
The pair’s conversation was not loud enough for the people close by to hear a word, as if the two did not exist. In fact to the eyes of the onlookers, the man and woman, who might have been husband and wife, did not exist.
“It’s obvious that those imperialist people don’t want the Soviet people to be happy.” The man uttered these words to his wife after a long time, the blue brim of his head gleaming in the setting sun.
Alan Wilson, unaware of this, memorized the order of the support of the spirit and prepared to raise his importance on this in front of the prime minister.
At the end of the funeral, the imperialist agent, Alan Wilson, directly followed the British delegation back to the hotel, and in this regard reported to the Prime Minister on the availability of the current Soviet leadership.
There was no doubt that Adderley was undoubtedly the most weighty figure among the foreign leaders who were visiting.
“From the order in which Stalin’s coffin was carried, Beria was extremely forward, and it can be said that Beria is now in a position of great power. We can see that a few of the people at the front are Beria, Malinkov, Molotov and Khrushchev.”
Alan Wilson immediately analyzed each of these according to their positions, and said that the next meeting should be the end of the Berlin Crisis and the Korean War as the main purpose, and that if these two issues could be reached one would be considered a victory, and if both issues could be solved, then the British Empire would be moving from one victory to another.
This conversation continued for a long time, and Prime Minister Adderley nodded his head in approval, a very sensible suggestion.
Stalin’s funeral was the biggest news in the world today, but in Britain, as a country of the free world, there was such a thing as an opposition party, and the Conservative Party in opposition had been trying to find a way to take back the ruling power.
This time the Tories had to shut up after Prime Minister Adderley’s extremely bright performance in dealing with the storm surge, and now that the Prime Minister had gone to Stalin’s funeral, the famous House of Commons spewer, MP Churchill, was not going to let it go.
