After today's talks, Alan Wilson even shared the whiskey he brought with the Soviets to express his respect for his allies. "Although we have various problems between us, we in the UK believe that we can still coexist peacefully."
"Maybe Americans don't think so." Shepilov responded after hearing what Alan Wilson said.
"That is an American matter. As an Englishman, it is not easy for me to interfere with this kind of thing." Alan Wilson's implication was that please go and fight against the United States. This stage belongs to your two countries.
We in the UK are a thing of the past and are not suitable to get involved.
Diplomats all have the potential to lead a double life. Even if the merger of the three occupied territories is not far away according to history, Germany will also be officially divided into two parts.
In principle, the responsibility for dividing Germany belongs to Britain, France, and the United States. However, as a member of the free world, Alan Wilson definitely believes that the root cause lies in the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union did not exist, Britain, France, and the United States would not do this.
.
He was even planning to go to the British-occupied areas to release talents in the chemical and biological fields. Of course, the Soviets did not need to know about this.
What is necessary to know is that the United States is the enemy of the Soviet Union, and Britain is no longer the main enemy of the Soviet Union.
"This old gentleman's insights are amazing. I wonder if you can take a photo with me?" Although he already knew that this was the second generation of the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson pretended not to know, and posted it to express friendship, and
I asked Khrushchev where he worked. It was really hard to work for the country at such an old age.
"I am Ukrainian!" Khrushchev said, but changed his workplace to an ambiguous reply. This answer could answer the question, but it was not a comprehensive answer.
"Ukraine is a good place. It is said to be a rare black land in the world and a big granary in Eastern Europe." Alan Wilson said with great envy, "One thing we must admit is that with such a piece of land in our hands,
It is the necessary foundation for a strong country.”
He is not pretending to be envious, but he is really envious. There are only a few major black lands in the world, including the Soviet Union, the United States and China. They are also ranked in terms of area. The Soviet Union is first, the United States is second, and China is third.
3. Black soil is concentrated near the cold zone.
Alan Wilson is absolutely right about this. The same is true for the black soil of the United States. Before the colonists set foot on the American continent, the United States was probably the area where the nomadic Indians moved. Broadly speaking, the farming part of the Indians was in
Near the equator.
Who makes the North American continent almost like a big funnel facing the Arctic Circle? When a burst of cold air hits, it dives directly into the Gulf of Mexico. This happens every few years, and no farming nation can stand.
The problem is that no one knows when the cold wave will come. The southern part of the United States, which is at the same latitude as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, can go from 30 above zero to 30 below zero overnight. Who can withstand it?
The cold wave of genocide in the agricultural era resulted in the territory of nomadic tribes in the United States. Compared with the Indians near the equator, the population of nomadic Indian tribes in the United States can be said to be quite sparse.
Khrushchev was very happy to be recognized by his enemies, even if he was not his biggest enemy. He also had simple patriotic feelings.
"The mention of Ukrainians reminds me of the impressive diplomat at the Potsdam Conference, who seemed to be named Fortseva." Alan Wilson said sincerely, "She is a very charming lady."
"She, she actually doesn't work in the diplomatic field." Khrushchev, who was very talkative and happened to know this female cadre, talked eloquently, "She is an administrative cadre and has a lovely son.
Two years old."
Did Fortseva have a son? Alan Wilson recalled it, but it seemed that he had never seen any historical records? But this makes sense. He always had to bring some changes to history, otherwise wouldn't his trip be in vain?
This whiskey meal was effective, and the atmosphere between the two sides was no longer tense. At present, promoting exports to the Soviet Union was not a political mistake, and the United States would also export to the Soviet Union.
Now the trade between the United States and the Soviet Union is not a small number. The United States can do business with the Soviets, and the United Kingdom can of course do business. In my impression, it was not until 1949 that the U.S. Congress passed the first post-war "Export Control Act"
, to determine the trade control strategy for the Soviet Union in the form of legislation.
The U.S. trade control list includes comprehensive embargoes and export quantity restrictions. At that time, the Truman administration determined that the breadth and depth of trade controls must be able to affect the entire production system of the Soviet Union.
For the United States, it is not the most serious matter when a certain president announces sanctions on other countries. Congress formally legislates and fixes the sanctions through legal conditions, which is a major event.
As for the United Kingdom, the United States is currently trading with the Soviet Union. Who has the right to dictate to the United Kingdom? Moreover, even if it recruits allies to implement a technological blockade against the Soviet Union, there will still be a breakthrough.
For example, France, where the French Communist Party existed, and Italy, where the Italian Communist Party existed, were potential breakthroughs. And they were indeed broken through by the Soviet Union, especially Italy, which flexibly took sides. In the Cold War, it was often the first to surrender to the enemy, and other countries could not negotiate with the Soviet Union.
When doing business, he stood up and took the biggest cake from the Soviet Union.
Of course, as a member of the Western countries, Italy did not dare to provide technical equipment to the Soviet Union in a big way. They kept the cooperation between the two parties within a controllable range, and the cooperation between the two parties was mainly concentrated in the field of civilian industry.
Italy exported refrigerators, cars, steel pipes and other products to the Soviet Union, and transferred part of its production technology to the Soviet Union, in exchange for huge amounts of foreign exchange and abundant resources.
The most typical one is the Soviet automobile industry. It can be said that most of the Soviet automobile industry is due to Italy. The most famous Lada car prototype in the Soviet Union is the Italian Fiat car.

resource.
Isn't the UK's technology much better than Italy's? Since France and Italy can do this kind of thing, what can't the UK do?
The records of the negotiations at the Potsdam Palace in Berlin were continuously sent back to London by the accompanying agents. Alan Wilson's verbal and military attacks, especially his flexible stance on the moral bottom line, greatly impressed Norman Brooke.
Rolls-Royce's engine technology has also changed from the previous dozens of units to the first batch of three hundred, fully paid contracts. As for the rubber and tin mines in British Malaya, progress is also very smooth.
"Edward, did the Soviet Union really lose 20 million people?" Norman Brooke analyzed while chatting with his predecessor Edward Bridges, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain this matter, and the various conditions that Allen listed before setting off.
, almost all of it has been achieved, I originally thought it would not be so easy."
"Germany killed eight million people. Compared with the civilian losses in France during World War I, the Soviet Union must have paid a higher price. But the Soviet Union will never admit it!" Edward Bridges took a breath and said, "At present,
Diplomats at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also have two attitudes."
"Some of them are leaning towards the Conservative Party, and they should immediately stand with the Americans against the Soviet Union. The other part is like the current Labor government, which is leaning towards the United States but not falling out with the Soviet Union?" Of course Norman Brooke also knows that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now facing the United States.
In the debate over what countermeasures the Soviet Union should take, "Prime Minister Attlee chose the latter."
"We have no right to interfere with what the Prime Minister thinks. But Allen is indeed very suitable for diplomatic work." He smiled slightly and said, "This proves that my previous judgment was correct."
"Yes, this negotiation was very unexpected. Allen really scared the Soviets." Norman Brooke said in surprise, "Currently among the overseas colonies, British Malaya's rubber and tin
Mining itself is an important industry for earning foreign exchange. The Americans are in great need of it. Now that the important Soviet market has been opened, Malaya's status will be even more valued. So after the withdrawal of the British Indian garrison, it is necessary to strengthen the
Malayan Military Power.”
"And the Persian Gulf? By the way, the Americans are convening various countries to discuss aid plans." Edward Bridges pondered for a moment and said, "The Prime Minister is very eager for American aid, and we must try our best to get the most beneficial part."
At the Potsdam Palace, Alan Wilson took the initiative to reach out and shook the hand extended by Shepilov. Just now, the two signed a trade memorandum on behalf of the two governments, opening the door to facilitate the export of British Malaya.
This is a win-win contract. The Soviet Union does not suffer. No matter how powerful the synthetic technology is, there is no natural rubber. For the British Empire, the largest market in the world is the United States, and the second largest market is the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is willing to
Opening the door of convenience is definitely a good thing for Britain. Two powerful countries serve Britain. Is this a small blessing?
Alan Wilson has enough reasons to hand over work to London. He has secured contracts for Britain that are countless times better than those in history, and is now completely satisfied.
The two sides shook hands and said goodbye in a friendly manner, and Alan Wilson and his party also returned to the British-occupied area of Berlin, planning to stop for a while in Bonn before returning home, operating, and going to Malaya to continue contributing to the empire.
"The telegram from London, Alan." Eiffel had been waiting for Alan Wilson for a long time. When he came back, he took out the telegram from London. "I want you to stay on the mainland first. There will be an important event in Paris next month."
