Alan Wilson felt that it was nothing more than an alliance between Britain and the United States, and he could just chat for two days and talk about some official articles. However, after returning, he was preparing to pack his bags and return to Berlin.

However, Alexander Cadogan, secretary of the Foreign Office, appeared and said to Alan Wilson, "The Americans want Britain to find a place to resettle those Yugoslavs."

"Why don't Americans settle the problem themselves?" Alan Wilson was furious, and his patriotism couldn't help but burst out. This is an American problem, why should the British solve this problem?

Although this problem first arose because of Alan Wilson, who knows? No, did the Americans find clues? Alexander Cadogan's words simply dispelled his doubts, "Yes, this is a humiliation of the British Empire by the Americans."

The Americans had no reason to do this, but they just did it. Prime Minister Attlee was very angry!"

In fact, Prime Minister Attlee was indeed very angry, but it was not because of such a small issue as the Yugoslav refugees. The Yugoslav refugees were just something Truman mentioned in passing when he and Attlee were chatting.

It was only because the head of state said such a thing that Prime Minister Attlee asked Edward Bridges to make arrangements. There was another reason that really made Prime Minister Attlee angry.

"Winston, this is the ally you say has a special relationship." Prime Minister Attlee looked at Churchill's bulldog-like face and said sarcastically, "I really didn't expect that the Soviet Union, which has always been vigilant, has not yet launched an attack. First

This assassination came from what you call a close ally. The Americans have betrayed their trust. I wonder what you think, Winston?"

Prime Minister Attlee had reason to be angry, because in his conversation with President Truman, he mentioned that the United States should share information about nuclear bombs, but Truman refused.

You must know that the UK itself was researching a nuclear bomb program. At that time, Attlee was still the deputy prime minister of the UK and had some knowledge of the alloy tube project. As early as when Germany attacked Poland and Britain and France declared war on Germany, the UK began to secretly develop weapons to deal with nuclear bombs.

new weapons.

British scientists have long discovered that powerful nuclear bombs can be made by enriching natural uranium.

At the end of 1939, a research team was secretly established in Liverpool and began to study the feasibility of nuclear bomb manufacturing. This was the top-secret project code-named Alloy Tube.

As time goes by, great progress has been made in the development of atomic bombs. During the experiment, scientists discovered that a neutron can only be caught if it is within the effective target range of the nucleus.

At this time, British research was already in a leading position in the world. At the same time, the United States, which was also secretly developing nuclear bombs, was still exploring the theory of atomic reactors, and the concept of nuclear explosive devices was still vague.

Soon after, the United Kingdom began to prepare for the manufacture of a nuclear bomb. It should be said that as long as the United Kingdom continues to work hard at this time, it is capable of developing a nuclear bomb soon.

However, as the scope of the war expanded, especially after the fall of France, the British mainland was no longer safe.

British Prime Minister Churchill also met with US President Roosevelt soon. After careful negotiation, the two parties signed the Quebec Agreement: In order to avoid air attacks by German bombers, British nuclear scientists would go to the United States to develop atomic bombs with American scientists, and the British alloy tube project was also

After entering into the Manhattan Project of the United States, the atomic bomb development projects of the two countries were integrated and led by the United States.

Attlee still remembers Churchill's solemn promise as Prime Minister at the time that the Americans promised to share all research results. But now he asked Truman to share the information but was refused.

"Truman is indeed treacherous." Churchill was no longer as forceful and haphazard on this issue as he was at other times. "What was Roosevelt's promise to me?"

"Roosevelt?" Attlee curled his lips and said, "At that time, you were the one who advocated for the merger into the Manhattan Project. But now? Truman rejected me directly and wanted to keep the nuclear bomb research data for himself. The United States can use it to deal with Japan.

Or if there is still the Soviet Union, there is no guarantee that it will not be used to blackmail us in the future."

"Let our scientists return home immediately. I don't believe that the Americans can't build a nuclear bomb without us?" Ignoring Churchill, who was rarely in a state of shame, Attlee said coldly, and he was already preparing to return to London.

.

Revitalizing the British economy, this time also including restarting the alloy tube plan, is far more important in his eyes than the Potsdam Conference.

Alan Wilson didn't know it yet, but the United States' first backstab against Britain after the war was earlier than it had ever been in history.

According to original history, it was only after Japan surrendered that the United States officially refused to share nuclear program information with the United Kingdom, giving Attlee a stab in the back who had just come to power.

Unexpectedly, during the Potsdam Conference, after Prime Minister Attlee learned of the successful U.S. nuclear test, he asked about the original agreement, which made Truman's rejection months earlier.

On this side, Alan Wilson was still worried about the Yugoslav refugees, but he didn't know that Churchill, who was already a former Prime Minister, was more embarrassed than anyone else at this moment, and was also criticized by his former deputy Attlee.

"Sir Edward, what should I do? Place it in the British-occupied area? From my personal point of view, this is a rude request." Alan Wilson went to Edward Bridges to complain, "The Americans actually treat their own people like this.

Close allies."

Edward Bridges remained calm and thought to himself, "Have you not seen anyone more rude?"

It was impossible for Alan Wilson's level to know that Prime Minister Attlee was rejected by Truman, but as Cabinet Secretary, Edward Bridges naturally knew everything. He knew that the current Prime Minister was very dissatisfied with the United States' betrayal of trust.

Alan Wilson naturally did not know about this backstab, but he knew that the one that was about to come, in the month when Japan surrendered, the United States stopped financing and loans to Britain in the name of the end of the war.

"The placement of Yugoslavs in the British-occupied areas will only bring chaos to the currently fragile British-occupied areas." Edward Bridges shook his head and said, "The Americans are pushing their problems onto us, and we must still accept it.

As you said, this is a rude request."

"How about sending these people to the colonies?" Alexander Cadogan suddenly said, "This way you can be out of sight and out of mind, and maybe they can be used."

"Oh, that's a good suggestion." Edward Bridges nodded with approval, "Where is the most suitable one."

"Rhodescia, white immigration has already taken shape." Alexander Cadogan thought as he thought, "Or aren't British Malaya, French and Dutch all going back? We should also increase some Malayan strength.
