Chapter 704 Drawing in the enemy within

Churchill, who was not the chief of staff, finally seized an opportunity to fire a shot, as in 1945, slammed Aidley as a Soviet spy, and this trip has been considered a solid hammer in his eyes.

Already solidly hammered, Prime Minister Eardley, as a mediocrity in the eyes of Senator Churchill, naturally adopted a mediocre attitude and ignored the diatribes of that egomaniac Churchill.

At the suggestion of Alan Wilson, it was decided to talk about the Berlin Crisis as the main focus and the Korean War as a complementary element, to talk to the current leaders of the Soviet Union, the former for the sake of the UK, and the latter has nothing to do with the United States, but entirely for the sake of the Commonwealth countries.

This world to Britain with malicious intent in addition to the Soviet Union and the United States, in the United Nations on the subject of the Korean War, the United Kingdom and the United States has had a few unpleasant, in addition to the United Kingdom itself, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have sent troops to participate in the Korean War.

Even the most determined Australia had become fed up with the delayed progress of the Korean War. The fact that such sentiments have emerged in Australia is telling enough, bearing in mind that Australia is the country that believes the most in blood being thicker than water.

In World War I, Australia, which legally belonged to the British Empire, entered the war immediately after the British government issued its declaration. World War II was the same way, – Britain went to war, so Australia went to war.

In the Korean War, Australia handed over its naval and air assets to the United States, representing the United Nations Security Council.

Alan Wilson also knew that in the future, Australia would be involved in the Vietnam War, supporting the Ngo Dinh Yen regime and the United States due to the “domino theory”.

During the Gulf War, Australian troops participated in the United Nations-sanctioned Multinational Force.

In Afghanistan, Australia expressed support for the US military response even before the US requested it.

Australia also pushed for support for the unauthorized U.S.-led military operation in Iraq to “eliminate weapons of mass destruction” and bring about the change of Saddam’s regime. Australian opposition parties objected at the time because no such weapons had ever been found in Iraq.

Now even Australia is standing by Britain and wants to end the Korean War as soon as possible, so it is clear how fed up the whole free world is with the Korean War.

If one of the two issues can make progress, it will be a victory. From Britain’s standpoint, there is no doubt that the Berlin Crisis is still more important, because Berlin is really too close to Britain.

Moscow is the center of the pro-Soviet forces in the world, especially at this time, the British delegation led by Adderley, in this situation, almost a kind of lonely battle.

Though millions of people would go their own way, pretty much that was the response given to Churchill’s opening salvo by the public opinion in London which favored the Labor Party.

Of course it was not that serious, the British delegation was very polite and restrained in Moscow, and if the press in London had said what they said, Prime Minister Alderley would have had to worry about his own safety.

In fact, Prime Minister Adderley wanted to achieve results, it is necessary to make some friendly statements, and even said that he would like to visit Moscow in the post-war reconstruction of the achievements of the whole atmosphere of friendship and harmony.

As for the Soviet cadre who received the British delegation, it was Ms. Foltseva, the second secretary of the Moscow City Council.

This is also Alan Wilson’s old acquaintance, a few years have not seen Foltseva has been considered a high-powered, preliminary Ekaterina III’s aura, dressed in fashion in a group of men in the middle of the Foltseva, generous and decent to lead the foreign visitors to visit Moscow’s achievements.

And the person entertaining next to Prime Minister Eidley, allegedly the Soviet Union Central, Secretary. Allen Wilson would never mistake this man, so obvious thick eyebrows, who is it if not Brezhnev?

Stealing a glance, Allen Wilson can not help but sigh luck, unconsciously look at the radiant Furtseva. Think of his many pieces since so hard, now is only an overseas commissioner.

Foltseva has been the second secretary of the Moscow Municipal Committee, almost has stepped into the Soviet Union among the senior leadership. Difference in circumstances, if not he is mentally tough to be able to adjust, are going to long pout short sigh.

Originally the reception was Molotov himself, but do not know how, temporarily replaced by Brezhnev.

A face of injustice in the world Allen Wilson, the visit also lost interest, all of which fell in the eyes of Foltseva. Of course, she did not show any disorder, still glowingly introduced a series of great achievements of the Soviet Union.

Anyway, Prime Minister Adleri did not get tired of it, and he, a member of the entourage, was even less qualified to get tired of it. After the tour, Foltseva dropped the British delegation off at the hotel, and then Alan Wilson dropped her off again on behalf of Britain.

A few short stairs away, Allen Wilson lustfully and finally said, “That cadre just now was very impressive, and from the point of view of a professional bureaucrat, I would suggest that you get on good terms with him.”

“Bureaucrat is not a good word!” Foltseva said without moving, “The Soviet Union is not the same as England.”

“The reasoning is the same, the whole world is the same in that respect!” Alan Wilson stood his ground, he could never resist the instinct to help others, especially women, “I see him as if I saw His Majesty, do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Do you know the name of the person you are talking about?” Foltseva muttered with a light laugh, “As if for my benefit.”

“I am obliged to any woman who deserves it.” Allen Wilson slowed his pace when he said, “Whoever he is, I don’t cheat, especially on women, anyway.”

It was just that being born in England didn’t help, otherwise he would have gone up and hugged his thighs himself, what did he need to say to Foltseva? How could he not know Brezhnev!

Brezhnev had been a worker, a student, an officer, and had a very rich curriculum vitae in all aspects, so he became a key target for promotion, and was often promoted to a higher leadership position after a few months in the post.

By 1940, at the age of thirty-four, Brezhnev had become a senior state official in charge of the defense industry. The first secretary of Ukraine at that time was Nikita Khrushchev. In other words, Brezhnev was a direct subordinate of Khrushchev.

Khrushchev was different from others in that he was very interested in promoting young cadres, and was eventually ousted by many of the young cadres he himself promoted. Brezhnev is considered to be one of the first to eat the dividends of promoting young cadres.

Immediately walked downstairs, Foltseva looked austere, no longer speaking, just with a serious look nodded to Allen Wilson, who also immediately folded back to analyze today’s Soviet slowness.

In fact, Adderley had already passed the word that he wanted to talk to the new leadership of the Soviet Union about the Berlin Crisis and the Korean War. The reason why none of the Soviet bigwigs showed up for today’s visit, but instead had Brezhnev receive them, was also to talk about this issue.

One thing that Allen Wilson had not misjudged was that the two current top-ranking Soviets, Malinkov and Beria, were indeed more inclined to ease relations with the free world. The current confrontation was a little too hard on the Soviet Union.

The Korean War had slowed down the United States, but only part of it; the other part of the American force, together with Britain, France, and Germany, still had an overwhelming advantage over the Soviet Union, at least for the time being.

But Molotov, who had been presiding over diplomacy, happened to share Stalin’s diplomatic philosophy. It led to his reluctance to talk to Prime Minister Eidley today.

While Allen Wilson was working hard for the Empire, Foltseva had gone home to see her children, and the same people had different lives to say that this was the case.

In the evening, news came from the Kremlin that Suri was receiving too much business from the fraternal parties to be able to negotiate with Prime Minister Aidley, and the Kremlin had decided to communicate with Britain around the Berlin crisis and the Korean War at an appropriate time.

This tone dispelled the air of frustration on the British side, since the Soviet Union was still willing to communicate on both issues. Then if there was to be a very good outcome, it would establish Britain’s international influence in this diplomacy.

“I think the front page headline in London will be that the Prime Minister has facilitated the end of the Berlin Crisis in the midst of dozens of pro-Soviet parties.” Alan Wilson expressed an optimistic interest in his colleagues, snorting from the hotel room where he was staying.

It was a joke, but really, if it came to pass, wouldn’t this be the effect of Zhao Zilong’s seven-in-seven in Cao’s army formation?

It’s not as if Britain doesn’t have cards in its hand to play, and the French and Italian Communists in Western Europe are, in the final analysis, different from these leaders in Eastern Europe who have been very deeply influenced by the Soviet Union.

If Prime Minister Adderley’s aim is to end the Berlin crisis and ease the confrontation between East and West. Such a bright and honorable purpose, even the leaders of the French Republic and the Italian Communist Party, it is difficult not to support.

Therefore, before negotiating with the Soviet leadership on the two issues, Britain had to find a way to make the French, Republican and Italian Communist parties in Western Europe recognize that Britain had come to save the peace without any malice.

Palmiro Togliatti, the leader of the Italian Communist Party, and Dolores, the leader of the French Communist Party, were two of those whom Prime Minister Eardley hoped would play a positive role.

“There is no doubt that the continuation of the Berlin crisis is in no way beneficial to either side. The position of the Italian and French Communists is all the more embarrassing.” Prime Minister Aidley pulled the strings against two internal enemies belonging to the free world.

The three men talked deeply for a long time, even lunching together, and finally after the two men had left, when the entourage asked if things had gone well, Adderley nodded wearily, “Fortunately, as long as we can secure the understanding of some pro-Soviet parties, it will help the outcome of our talks with the Soviet Union.”
