Chapter 91: Hard and Soft

Ah these Soviets! Alan Wilson shook his head in his heart, this world was already unequal, yet there was such an alien country that had to change this fateful arrangement, in Alan Wilson’s eyes it was simply crazy.

Everyone together united under the banner of imperialism, turn all the third world countries all into colonies, forever enslave the people there, this is what should be the imperialist powers should do.

But apparently now the united imperialist camp has seen two traitors in varying degrees. One clamors for the liberation of the whole world and the other for the self-determination of peoples, and there is no doubt that both ideas are enemies of the British Empire.

From the claim above, the Soviet Union should be that more urgent enemy, but considering that the European battlefield has only just ended, the Soviet Union is badly wounded internally, and within ten years the Soviet Union will not have the power to come over and cause trouble until its internal wounds are healed, and projecting its power beyond Eurasia is something the Soviet Union is currently unable to do.

On the contrary the American allies who pay lip service to the special relationship between Britain and the United States now really have the ability to pose a threat to Britain’s overseas colonies, and the Americans are really doing it. This is what was really going on in Alan Wilson’s mind, that America was the most tangible enemy in the near future when it came to the colonies.

“Beautiful lady, if I were the Soviet Union, I should give Britain a break now. The Soviets should understand that Britain has already been damaged in the midst of this war, just as much as the Soviet Union.” Alan Wilson, who had been silent for a long time, finally began to engage in substantial backroom maneuvering.

Public blackmail that was the matter of those diplomats in Aifor, not the task of Allen Wilson, Allen Wilson did not have too good a way to use honesty, so that the Soviet Union to understand the current situation.

“Britain is a vast colony!” The lethal smile on Foltseva’s face did not diminish, and in a pleasant voice, she said, “With a colonial empire for the past three hundred years, I would have expected it to be very strong.”

“But Britain doesn’t have a strong homeland after all, something we can’t compare to the Soviet Union and the United States.” Alan Wilson stared into Foltseva’s eyes, on another occasion this could have been the beginning of a relationship, even if the other party was already thirty-five years old, but still very attractive, with a fatal attraction to men.

But not now, Alan Wilson’s previous operation in Yugoslavia, although cheap is the Soviet Union, but essentially for the British Empire considerations, want to let the United States more efforts, top in the front against the Soviet Union. As a Briton, he remained loyal only to the British Empire, never intending to serve with the Cambridge Five for the liberation of the world.

Foltseva didn’t retort, after all, she wasn’t a professional diplomat, and the reason for her appearance was actually the same as Alan Wilson’s, she wouldn’t be noticed. So everything Allen Wilson said, she was savoring and judging the honesty of it.

For the first time, when Allen Wilson mentioned the border between Poland and Germany, Foltseva opened her mouth to retort, “Five years ago, Britain had already expressed its understanding of the Soviet Union’s occupation of the eastern part of Poland, and that would have been a part of Imperial Russia. It’s only because of the war that we had to give it up for the time being, Mr. Allen, using the border change to make a point at this point in time, the British claim is untenable, the Curzon Line was named after your British Empire’s foreign minister, Curzon, you can’t have forgotten that so quickly, can you?”

How the hell should I know? Alan Wilson was disgruntled in his mind as to how Britain was drawing lines indiscriminately everywhere. As the commissioner of British India, he had never worked on this side of Europe either, how did he know about this side of things.

Twenty-five years ago, when the Red Army of Soviet Russia repelled the Polish Intervention Army, Curzon, on behalf of the British government, suggested that Soviet Russia use this line as a cease-fire line to hold peace negotiations, and at the international conference held in Spa, the Polish and Soviet sides recognized the Curzon line as the Polish-Soviet border line, and when the Polish army turned to counterattack, the Polish government refused to recognize the Curzon line.

“That fool Bisutzky, it wasn’t we in Britain who supported the attack on Soviet Russia. But when it comes to Poland, we in Britain are just talking about the border line in passing, and the real topic of conversation I’m sure the Soviet Union would love?” Alan Wilson directly skimmed over the topic of Poland and German territorial changes and made another offer.

“Oh, really?” Foltseva’s large eyes fluttered and blinked, asking rhetorically in a solicitous tone, “An old empire, I’m sure there’s a lot of valuable things to share.”

“Of course there is, of course there is!” Emphasizing twice in a row, Alan Wilson boasted with an outstretched finger, “An absolute bonus for the Soviet Union, Miss Foltseva, there is now a Polish government-in-exile in London.”

Foltseva’s eyes lit up, of course she knew about this, although in the previous Polish-Greek deal, the British side had already sold Poland to the Soviet Union as a quid pro quo. However, as long as the Polish government-in-exile existed, it was always a hidden danger.

Allen Wilson certainly knew this, and after the Battle of Poland, all of Poland was lost. Troops who escaped from Poland pledged allegiance to the Polish government-in-exile and fought in several wars, and Polish soldiers on the former Polish borders organized the Polish Underground State to fight against the Germans on the former Polish borders.

Poland was occupied by the Red Army of the Soviet Union after World War II, and the Polish government-in-exile was unable to rejoin Poland due to the lack of much negotiation between the Polish government-in-exile and the Polish Underground State as well as the Soviet Union, which formed a Soviet-supported government in Poland.

The Polish government-in-exile held out until the Soviet Union lost the Cold War and finally returned to Poland, and because of this history of the Polish government-in-exile, Poland has been the anti-Russian vanguard in Eastern Europe. Only unlike World War II, people recognized their new father, the United States.

“The Polish government-in-exile has a strong influence on the Polish army out there, and there are 150,000 former government troops loyal to Poland.” Allen Wilson said this and turned to remind Foltseva, “I heard that in a place called Katyn, a large number of Polish officers’ corpses were found, who they actually killed, I will not comment.”

“It was the Germans who killed them and planted them on us.” Foltseva’s brow furrowed in righteous retort.

“It doesn’t matter who killed them, it’s whether anyone believes it. The Polish government-in-exile itself has a strong anti-Russian ideology, and if a portion of it rallies people with that, it’s a problem.” Allen Wilson, who was not concerned with the matter, analyzed it from a third party’s perspective, “Poland will not be stabilized with such an exile government not under Soviet control, will it?”

“Then there’s the hundred thousand or so Polish soldiers who listen to the Polish government-in-exile, and the hatred of the Soviet-Polish War, and further back there’s the history of the three divisions of Poland, much, much, much too much.”

Foltseva frowned tightly, the importance her doting father attached to Poland was something she could feel even if she hadn’t heard about it.
