Chapter 94 The First Consensus

As for what Allen Wilson did, there was quite a lot of things he did when you think about it on close recollection, and apart from the backroom dealings with the Soviet Union because of the issue of the war against Japan, it seems that there was also a reference to the complementary nature of the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom at this stage of the same disease.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the fact that if Britain, including France, is weakened too much, Western Europe will inevitably look to the United States later on, and that if Britain is threatened by Soviet armament in an area of interest that overlaps with the USSR, it will inevitably lead to US assistance, and the USSR not only fails to achieve its goals, but also allows Britain’s power to be replaced by the United States.

This is mainly true of Iran, which currently has a British military presence in the south and a Soviet military presence in the north. There is a historical tradition of this as well, with spheres of influence being drawn in Iran as far back as the British Empire’s confrontation with Imperial Russia.

The topic of economy was also talked about, the Soviet Union, although the land is vast, but in the final analysis, it is a high-latitude country. Many cash crops and resources were either unavailable or costly to develop. It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by sending people to Siberia to plant potatoes!

Rubber, and other tropical crops, for example, the USSR would not have been able to muster the spirit of hard work to wipe out the gap. Britain has tropical colonies, and this raw material Britain is willing to provide, as long as the Soviet Union is willing to pay and trade. It would be good for both countries to recover quickly from the war.

As for anything else, coffee, mangoes, even the US had no reason to interfere with the UK, exporting tropical fruits for trade.

It seems that there is also an idea of post-war recovery, because the German surrender in May, has been over the sowing season, the Soviet Union has also been on the offensive no time to restore agriculture, as long as the Soviet Union is willing to take out a certain amount of foreign exchange to buy, the British Empire can raise a certain amount of food, to help Eastern Europe through the food shortage.

Sacrifice place Allen Wilson has decided, on the sacrifice of British India, maybe the food shortage appeared Nehru can still be honest. As for the small matter of only two divisions in Hokkaido, not carefully recalled, he forgot that he had said no.

This is, after all, a good opportunity, because what he said will certainly be relayed to Stalin’s ears, and no one in the Soviet Union dares to hide anything from Stalin at this time.

As the overbearing world hegemony, the British Empire is now seeking stability, stability is greater than everything, the fewer things the better, so that there is time to adjust the policy, and ultimately landed safely, the Soviet Union does not look for trouble, it has been in the help of the United Kingdom, I am afraid that the Soviet Union is uneasy.

Just these words Allen Wilson has no way to share with the just made a big splash Eiffel, can only smile, heartfelt blessings to each other, in such an important international conference to find a sense of presence.

Clinking a glass, Aifor excitedly said two sentences then asked, “In fact, you should also join the ranks of the official negotiators, otherwise there will not be no sense of presence.”

“We just obey the instructions and follow the arrangements.” Alan Wilson modestly shook his head, he still had business tomorrow, to contact the Viceroyalty of India and send a fleet to the Far East.

The British fleet in Asia is enough, the current British Royal Navy, if you count the escort carriers kind of make up the numbers, a total of ninety-five aircraft carriers, after the Normandy landings, the Atlantic line of the right of the sea has been recaptured, a part of the force will be sent to Asia.

In fact, military illiteracy in the eyes of the United States in World War II hundreds of aircraft carriers, of which nearly a hundred are also escort carriers.

And not the Normandy landings of the big action, but also need to prepare for the current Royal Navy forces in Asia is completely enough, plus the Soviet Union’s own preparations, transport a hundred thousand Soviet troops easily.

As for the time to come up not in time is not easy to predict, but Alan Wilson is not pessimistic, because the commander-in-chief of the British forces in Southeast Asia is Mountbatten, Mountbatten is a British warship speed keeper.

The beginning of World War II, Mountbatten served as the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet “Kelly” destroyer captain, the first time on board, Mountbatten personally drive Kelly out to sea, but also the battleships to thirty-eight point five knots, the technology shocked the four.

With such a Royal Navy speed keeper as Commander-in-Chief, I’m sure the British fleet in Southeast Asia will be somewhat infected, in fact he’ll be ready to send a telegram later, time is short and the task is heavy. It’s a crucial time to test a civil servant!

On the first day of July, the first consensus of the British-American-Soviet conference in Potsdam was finalized on the issue of war against Japan. Although the beauty of the Soviet Union will be their own share, deleted the terms of unconditional surrender, but does not hurt the Potsdam Conference a good start.

Soon reports of the war against Japan, urging Japan to surrender, hit the pages of major newspapers. The members of the U.S. delegation were very happy, and from the faces of these negotiators, Allen Wilson guessed that the current President Truman was happy in his heart as well.

Now that it has been in the newspapers, it can almost be recognized as a fact, I just do not know that after the successful explosion of the nuclear bomb, when the time comes, Truman will not regret, his own eagerness to request the Soviet Union to fight against Japan’s move.

Considering that Truman, as the president of a world power, wanted to blatantly go back on his word, in the British Empire from the side of the witness, turned to the Soviet Union to tear up the consensus, it is estimated that it will take a lot of political determination to be able to do so.

The consensus to fight against Japan spread around the world in a short time, and likewise reached the ears of the Japanese government.

Fumimaro Konoe, a three-time Japanese Prime Minister, stated his personal opinion to the Japanese Emperor, “Defeat is since the result, the obstacle to ending the war comes from the War Ministry, the British, American, and Chinese goal is to defeat the Japanese War Ministry, and with the downfall of the War Ministry, the nature of the war will be transformed for it.”

Togo Shigeru, who had been ambassador to the Soviet Union, told the Emperor that the Potsdam Proclamation was a mere replica of the Cairo Declaration, and that although it should be accepted it should be treated with indifference in order to await the outcome of the request for Soviet mediation.

“The absence of a note of unconditional surrender in the Soviet proclamation shows that the Soviet Union still has misgivings about attacking Japan proper, and if the Soviet Union can be made to mediate a conditional surrender, this goal is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should now be working toward. Even giving up part of the Thousand Islands would be possible.”

Viceroyalty of India, Sir Barron took the telegram that had just been delivered, in which, in addition to Alan Wilson’s missing British India, the rest was the attitude towards the Potsdam Conference consensus reached on the war against Japan, which stated that Britain was able to avoid the losses brought about by an attack on the Japanese mainland, and that to make the Soviet Union bear the burden of them was in itself a victory.

Asia’s Royal Navy fleet should immediately rushed to the Far East, to help the Soviet Union to attack the landing, can not be delayed even one day, resulting in a fait accompli, the Soviet Union by then regret also too late.

At the same time that British India’s received the European telegram, Marshal Wasilewski, who had arrived in the Far East long ago, likewise received a telegram from Moscow.
