Chapter 93 The Glorious Era Returns

The Manhattan Project of the United States, to what point has it progressed, Stalin knows it all in his heart, the news from the British side can only be said to be a corroboration, there is no need to ask for proof, because this matter is too important.

Important enough to Foltseva mentioned, Stalin thought that the British side has shown sincerity, since it is a backroom operation, naturally, there are many aspects and formal negotiations are not the same place.

Of course the support, Stalin will not be polite, since the Americans took the initiative to ask for the door, do not ask for a little more is simply sorry for the good opportunity in front of me.

In another room, Alan Wilson is flying to Edward Bridges to report their own results, in addition to the last reveal the mouth of the big killers, there is nothing to hide. The selling out of whatever interests had been settled long ago, and he was merely an instrumental man informing the Soviet Union on behalf of Britain.

“I told the Soviets that the Americans just couldn’t make up their minds yet, and that once the Soviets were unable to express their sincerity, it wasn’t impossible to fight on their own with the power the United States had now.”

Edward Bridges nodded and said slowly, “Eifel said in his report today that the Soviets have loosened their tone and mentioned something about wanting to give the German commercial fleet to the Soviets as collateral.”

“Then we can’t agree to that, how long would it take to get from Europe to the Far East, either the Royal Navy or the US Navy can transport Soviet troops close by.” Alan Wilson said without thinking.

“The Americans have said they will consider it carefully.” Edward Bridges shattered Allen Wilson’s fantasy, “It seems that the matter should be almost settled, and I believe that Truman promised Stalin something in the middle of the exchange between the leaders of the three countries.”

The new world hegemon was still slightly young, probably just moving from the Americas to the world stage, and not yet accustomed to his new role.

Whoever let Truman, the American president, just out of the novice village and not followed by an experienced secretary of state, it was all his own choice.

Edward Bridges had already judged what the problem was, but then, since it was an American problem, he couldn’t say anything or it would be interfering in the Americans’ internal affairs.

“All in all, you’ve done your job, the conditions you agreed to are within the license, and you’ll meet with the Soviets again tomorrow. Get things finalized, the world is now waiting for this meeting to take out the first consensus.” Edward Bridges stopped talking nonsense and complimented Alan Wilson, “Whether it’s formal negotiations or backroom maneuvering, agreement on both sides is the basis for consensus.”

The Cabinet Secretary’s meaning, according to Allen Wilson’s understanding, translates to, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. I just don’t know if the Soviets will give the desired result tomorrow.

On the formal negotiations, the British delegation fully practiced the special relationship between Britain and the United States, standing on the American point of view to apply pressure and express that Britain and the United States are on the same page on the issue of fighting against Japan.

Ivor in the meeting, a strong refutation of the Soviet Union about and Japan have a neutrality treaty, “once upon a time Germany also signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union, which does not delay the final German raid on the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States hope that the Soviet Union can realize the original mistake, do not pin their hopes on Japan.”

This statement was a technical surprise, won the recognition of the Americans, it seems that all of a sudden the glorious era of the British Empire is back.

“That man, Ivor, can’t talk tough to any country except to the French, that’s just acting for the Americans, what can we do? Now England still owes the Americans money.” The next day and Foltseva’s meeting, Alan Wilson said everything was a misunderstanding, in order to make money, not too shabby.

After expressing his apologies, Allen Wilson changed his mind and said, “The Americans have already loosened their lips and are willing to mortgage German commercial carriers to the Soviet Union. Yesterday Eifel also proposed to be willing to coordinate, the British Empire’s naval power in the Far East to help the Soviet Union to complete the landing program, of course, all count on our two countries, you Soviets may not be assured, but I believe that the Soviet Union is not a bit of sea power in the Far East, the Japanese Navy now exists only on paper, whether it can go out to sea is unknown.”

To put it mildly, Alan Wilson has been thinking about the remaining warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, to see if it can occupy a little more share in the reparations, even if the British Royal Navy itself does not need, the monopoly is also possible, the Empire of the Sunset to this day, but also to learn to live on a shoestring.

“It’s hard to imagine that the British Empire has such flexibility in its perspective of the problem.” Sneer was implied in Foltseva’s words, referring to the formal negotiations and the backroom maneuvering, the two faces that the British showed.

“This is exactly how the British Empire has survived for three hundred years, it’s not a bad thing, you can’t put your eggs in one basket.” Alan Wilson completely took Foltseva’s words as a compliment, as long as the purpose was achieved, the chest to listen to some unpleasant words, he was also completely equipped.

“The British side of the reason to deploy the Far East forces to cooperate with the Soviet landing, I wonder if the time can be in time?” Foltseva asked the last question, hoping Allen Wilson to give assurance.

“This is not a problem, the British forces in Asia, in the middle of General Mountbatten’s jurisdiction. I happen to be the liaison officer to British India.” Allen Wilson stated that everything was wrapped up in himself and that this matter was not a problem.

If it is someone else, he did not dare to make this guarantee, but if this person is Mountbatten, Mountbatten’s greatest desire is to kill to Tokyo, so that Japan fell to the same fate as Germany.

In the backroom operation, Alan Wilson said Britain agreed to let the Polish government in exile in London to get rid of, how to deal with the Soviet Union is the matter. In the formal negotiations, after bargaining, the British and American delegations offered to hand over German commercial carriers to the Soviet Union as part of the reparations.

The question of war against Japan had seen the light of day, and finally Stalin, in a summit meeting with Truman and Churchill, said that as soon as the conditions promised by Britain and the United States were in place, the Soviet Union could attack Japan and end the war.

On the evening of June 30th, the first consensus on the Potsdam Conference was made official, although the details were slightly different. Compared to the clear attitude of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union’s statement was actually very skillful, both recognizing the war against Japan and not saying the words to death.

Compared with the British and American reports, the clause of unconditional surrender was deliberately removed from the Soviet statement.

But on the surface, this is also the British and American delegations, especially the British delegation played a huge role in the middle of it, certainly worth celebrating, Ivor has become the star of the British delegation, the ambition of the British delegation, see Alan Wilson happy greeting, “Alan, what have you been doing the past two days, you don’t know my wonderful performance in the negotiations.”

“I heard, the glory days are back.” Allen Wilson marveled.
