In this life, people will always encounter some unexpected big things that happen quietly when they don't know anything about them.
Just like when George W. Bush visited a primary school and laughed happily with the children, he would not have thought that this audacious guy would dare to send people to hijack a plane and crash it into a building. No one on earth would have dreamed that Comrade Chuan Jianguo would order the US military stationed in Iraq to kill a certain person.
An active major general made the same arrangement directly.
Malashenko, who was busy helping workers in the factory and fighting in person, also did not expect that a prime minister from a black tea country had already entered the Soviet airspace aboard a special plane amid heavy artillery fire.
Almost none of the passenger planes during World War II were considered to be of good enough comfort. Sitting in such a rickety and butt-crushing plane made Churchill, who had just left Downing Street, miss sitting in his office drinking.
The little secretary feels comfortable serving herself black tea.
If the time had not come when he had to personally take action, Churchill would not even dare to fly to Moscow from the sky above the area where the Soviet and German armies were fighting. This would be no different from dancing on the tip of a knife.
"Why can't this damn plane take a detour with more fuel!?"
Churchill thought angrily.
Before coming to Moscow, Churchill went to the previous commander of the Royal Air Force, General Dowding, who had retired to work and asked whether the fighter jets currently used by the Germans on the Soviet battlefield were powerful.
To find some psychological comfort for yourself.
But the answer Churchill received made him feel a little scared.
Admiral Dowding told Churchill that the BF109 F-series fighter jets recently developed by the Germans were no worse than the Spitfire of the Royal Air Force, and the "Butcher Bird" FW190, which had just debuted, was also a very formidable opponent.
In short, if Churchill's plane was intercepted by the Luftwaffe, Lieutenant General Dowding suggested that Churchill immediately parachute to gain a chance of survival. Of course, if the German pilot realized that this was an unarmed aircraft and not a bomber and did not launch an attack, it would only
If he was just threatening to fly with him, Admiral Dowding felt that saving his life first was the best option in this situation.
As for the first prime minister in the history of the British Empire to surrender, who cares as long as he survives?
Churchill, who was a little frightened, was always worried that German fighter jets would come out from an unknown direction, and he would be caught off guard and hit his special plane.
Even though he was on tenterhooks, Churchill had to pretend to be calm on the surface, otherwise the Prime Minister would be in a panic and leave it to other people on the plane to deal with it.
Later generations often said that Churchill was the most fickle "politician with a thousand faces". He could regard the Soviet Union as a mortal enemy and publicly curse him, and promote an anti-Bolshevik spirit. Churchill hated from the bottom of his heart the gang that killed the Czar's family who were related to the British royal family.
Bolsheviks, and did not hide this idea even in public.
Similarly, for the sake of the safety of the British Empire and the overthrow of Hitler, Churchill could change his face faster than turning the page of a book. He put on a pair of trousers with the Soviet Union and sang "Brothers and Brothers" with the sentence "The danger faced by the Soviet Union is the same danger faced by our British Empire
Danger!", scolding the idiots in the parliament who opposed aid to the Soviet Union.
The Thousand-Faced Politician is Churchill’s political face. The image of a sinister face wearing a black top hat and holding a Chicago typewriter is the best embodiment of Churchill’s tough attitude towards Hitler.
Compared with the Red Bolsheviks, who were feared by the entire European camp, Churchill was able to clearly realize that Hitler was a more terrifying beast, and proactively persuaded Roosevelt to increase aid to the Soviet Union.
From this point of view alone, Churchill was countless times better than the former Prime Minister Chamberlain who was forced to step down due to the miscarriage of appeasement policy.
The purpose of Churchill's trip to the Soviet Union was to bring the Soviet Union's supreme leader, Stalin, an extremely unfortunate news: the US-British coalition decided not to open a battlefield on the Western Front in 1942.
It was past five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun still showed no signs of setting. Churchill's special plane landed slowly and stopped at the Moscow Airport with the landing gear rubbing against the runway and making a harsh noise.
As soon as the somewhat potbellied Churchill stepped out of the plane, the first thing he saw was the flags of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union flying on the airport in front of him and the neatly arranged honor guard of the Soviet Red Army.
Churchill understood that Stalin at this moment did not understand the disappointing news that he was about to bring him. Such a grand welcome ceremony at the airport was obviously prepared for the previous Triple Alliance treaty.
"I hope this little shoemaker from Georgia won't give me too much trouble..."
As he walked down the gangway with an uneasy feeling, Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, who had made a special trip to greet Churchill, immediately greeted him with a warm smile and hurried up.
"Welcome, Mr. Prime Minister, the good news you bring is enough to cheer up all the soldiers and civilians of the Soviet Union!"
When they met, without saying a word, he first put a top hat on Churchill's forehead.
Churchill, who is known as the politician with a thousand faces, knew very well what the extremely cunning Molotov in front of him was planning, and his reply was just a smile that changed the subject.
"Of course, we'll talk as we walk."
Also arriving on a special plane with Churchill was the U.S. delegation, including Harriman, the special representative of U.S. President Roosevelt.
Out of praise for the friendship between the three countries, the Red Army honor guard at the airport played the national anthems of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union with passionate music. Churchill, who maintained a habitual smile from beginning to end, reviewed the military equipment accompanied by Molotov.
The energetic Soviet Red Army Honor Guard, this group of outstanding young men gave Churchill a little more confidence that Stalin could stop Hitler.
"I have to say, you Russians have a great army, and it looks like Hitler will eventually die in your hands."
Churchill, who said casually to Molotov, would not have thought that Hitler, a madman with two abilities in his opinion, would actually die in the hands of the Russians.
After staying at the accommodation arranged in Moscow, Churchill chatted with Harriman, the special representative of the US President who was accompanying him, and discussed how to tactfully tell Stalin the devastating news later.
It didn't take long for Churchill and Harriman to receive an invitation. The supreme leader of the Soviet Union and the loving father Comrade Stalin was waiting to receive them in the Kremlin.
"How do you plan to tell Stalin the news? Directly? Or more implicitly so that he can understand it himself?"
Facing Harriman's whisper, Churchill, who had already made a plan in his heart, waved his hands helplessly.
"To be honest, if Stalin is still not satisfied, then I can only add more numbers to his aid list, hoping that this will offset his anger a little. Of course, this is the same for you Americans."
