Chapter 99: Welcoming the New Prime Minister
“You’re already a sophisticated bureaucrat, and really very flexible.” Foltseva laughed softly, then coughed a few times.
“Don’t you forget to mock the imperialism in your mouth even when you’re not feeling well? Bureaucratic problems are present all over the world, head on over and don’t think there are any countries that are exceptions.” Alan Wilson looked at the other party, bad health requires medication, “It seems that with the current progress, in three or four days we will be able to make the list, and I believe that your receivers are already on their way.”
As for when the Soviet Union will fight against Japan, Allen Wilson is impossible to know, but it should be a little earlier than history.
By now it was believed that the British delegation at the Potsdam Conference was also ready to welcome the new Prime Minister. As for Churchill, historically he would have been turned into an advisor to the Potsdam Conference and still appeared at the conference.
At least now Alan Wilson, a short period of time do not have to worry about their own a few days ago the gaffe was looking for the back of the account, the prime minister are changed, naturally do not have to worry about the former prime minister in the end what is his perception, even if you care about the future there is plenty of time to make amends.
It is too early to conclude that Churchill will not be able to rise again, history in the Queen Elizabeth after the throne, in order to recognize Churchill’s achievements, ready to register Churchill as the Duke of London, and Churchill refused.
Rumor has it that Churchill gave up the dukedom for his son, which is complete bullshit.
Churchill’s son is also really unlucky to have to take the blame, if Churchill’s son wants to go into politics can completely give up their knighthood. The real reason is that Churchill accepted the Duke of London for himself, and it would only affect Churchill himself.
If he had accepted the Duke of London title, he would never have been able to be a member of the House of Commons again, and would have had to go to the House of Lords as a peer, in which case he wouldn’t have been able to speak in the House of Commons because he wasn’t a member of the House of Commons.
Any fart from a well known figure is interpreted in a different light, the election before us has shown how Churchill is now viewed by the citizens of the UK, the result says it all.
Anyway, Alan Wilson was ready to wait for the new Prime Minister, parachuting into the Potsdam Conference, believing that the Cabinet Secretary and the Foreign Office Secretary were more than ready.
Hamburg had changed little from the last time he had arrived, and Germany was in a slightly improved state of mind, without the previous tendency to push straight into British India, but still poor, and thanks to the adjustments made by the British Command, order was restored to the British-occupied territories very quickly.
Originally, he was ready to return to Berlin after the reception work was completed, waiting for the end of the Potsdam Conference, the logical son to return to the British-occupied areas to continue to work, planned well, but Foltsevar was sick.
The World War had just ended, the German civilian is no medicine, the Soviets did not carry. Alan Wilson had to see if there was any way on the side of the British forces. It was not questioned, the British occupation forces even German prisoners to maintain relief, let alone a guest who is still an ally.
Brought a little fruit over to visit Foltseva, Allen Wilson is still carrying out this period of time since the other work, both so that the Soviet Union to maintain goodwill towards the United Kingdom, there is a fire to find the Americans to send.
With the Soviet Union’s internal standards of scrutiny, Foltseva will certainly be subject to questioning when he returns, Allen Wilson did not expect to turn a future senior Soviet official, but just hope that in the future there is still an opportunity for cooperation between the two countries.
Britain hates Soviet politics, but does not hate the Soviet ruble, as long as it can make the British Empire smooth out the tough times, whether it is the dollar or ruble, are good things.
“To be fair, some colleagues’ misgivings about the USSR center on whether or not they are complying with the treaty, and judging from the Soviet Union’s history, the record on that front is not good.” Allen Wilson said to a somewhat weary Foltseva as he peeled an apple, “The Soviet Union reneged on an Allied loan just after it was formed.”
“That’s imperialist exploitation.” Foltseva half-squinted her eyes and retorted breathlessly, if she didn’t have no physical strength, she had to say more.
“Wasn’t it imperialist exploitation, which later resulted in the Allied Coalition attacking Soviet Russia, bringing more damage than reneging on the money owed.” Alan Wilson took the peeled apple, cut a few pieces and handed it to Foltseva, seeing that the latter didn’t take it, frowned and said, “Honorable lady, although I admit that you’re very beautiful, and if you were a little younger, I’d even consider treason, but don’t you think you should take it yourself, do you want me to feed you? Does your husband approve?”
It was then that Foltseva reached out and took the apple, saying in a dismayed voice, “How old are you and you’re already thinking like that, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re targeted by female spies in the future.”
“I’m very tightly guarded!” Alan Wilson opened his mouth with the words of a tiger and a wolf, “Otherwise, now that you’re in a weakened state, I’m perfectly capable of doing whatever I want, and who can stop me? This is British Occupation!”
Although his little brother was already vaguely on the rise, Alan Wilson wasn’t prepared to pay it forward. It was a fatal black spot for both sides, and why live with it and find it uncomfortable?
And it didn’t fit in with Allen Wilson’s creed of life, the code of conduct that was both cavalier with imperialist powers and heavy-handed with Third World countries.
“Ms. Foltseva, I’m sure you don’t want your homeland to face the United States, Britain, and France at the same time. I have never denied the power of the Soviet Union, something that has been proven in this war. But the Soviet Union has also suffered very heavy losses, and the thing to consider now should be to consolidate the existing gains, and like Britain needs time to recuperate. As to what the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union will really be in ten years’ time, that is a matter for later.” Alan Wilson implicitly reminded the Soviet Union not to be too greedy.
While there are currently large numbers of Soviet supporters in Western Europe, equally the Soviet Union itself has been hit hard and is afraid of both.
“Consider how you were to break through the diplomatic dilemma after World War I. It was nothing more than complicating simple problems. At the same time and the United States, Britain and France negotiations, using the contradictions between the three countries to complete the diplomatic breakthrough. Now it’s different again, if the USSR is not recovering itself, keep bothering Britain and France, who are also not recovering. It will only make it easier for the U.S. to annex our interests.”
In words, Alan Wilson meant to indicate that in 1945 or even in the next few years, Britain and the Soviet Union had no conflict of interest, and both countries needed time for post-war recovery. If the Soviet Union looked for trouble, it would only give the United States, which had not been affected by the war, an advantage.
All the way up to Foltseva’s recovery, Allen Wilson kept repeating the historical fact of Lenin’s post-World War I breakthrough in the diplomatic dilemma, knowing that once Foltseva went back, Stalin would surely inquire.
Just as the list was finished being drawn up for the Soviets to come and take over, Adderley, who had already won the prime ministerial election, parachuted into Berlin and prepared to replace Churchill at the Potsdam Conference, ten days earlier than history.
