"We have actually always maintained goodwill towards the United States. Now it seems that it is inevitable that the world will be divided into two." Molotov's expression was quite complicated. Although the United States fought a war in the Far East for more than three years, this had a great impact on the United States.
There is no loss of national strength.
Although the Soviet Union has recovered from the losses in the war and is even stronger than before the war, it is still far behind the United States. If the problem is only the United States, there is no solution, but the problem lies with other countries within NATO.
, Britain, France, Germany and Italy are all powerful allies of the United States, at least much stronger than Eastern European countries.
But who are the allies of the Soviet Union? Romania and Bulgaria, for example, are not as populous as Belgium. Not to mention compared with Britain and France, if the Netherlands in NATO is an ally of the Soviet Union, it can be said to be a powerful ally of the Soviet Union. But
In NATO, the Netherlands is simply an inconspicuous country.
Compared with Western Europe, the population of Eastern Europe is indeed far behind. The gap is even greater than the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States alone.
"Yes, we have always avoided confrontation with the United States, but Washington treats our goodwill as invisible, and the responsibility does not lie with us." Khrushchev sighed. To say that it was a relaxation, he could say that he was more relaxed than Stalin.
Low, hoping to change the hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union.
But there are some things that cannot be solved by showing goodwill, and the Soviet Union cannot just give in blindly. Khrushchev believed that as long as the Soviet Union was given time, the Soviet Union's own national power would surpass the United States, and the balance of power would change decisively, so he advocated relaxation. But
Détente cannot be a one-sided act of goodwill. After going full circle, he now understands that even peaceful competition must be backed by force.
As the militarization of NATO became inevitable, Khrushchev also thought that the Soviet Union should also establish its own military alliance.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be so fast. After public opinion ferments and the Soviet Union has made all its good intentions, it can establish a military alliance including all Eastern European socialist countries to confront the United States.
"Comrade Molotov, how to contact the fraternal political parties and recognize our proposition is the focus of your work in the next stage." After becoming the controller of the Soviet Union, Khrushchev also began to pay attention to the attitude of his speech, and
It's not like yelling like before.
However, long-standing habits cannot be changed. He pays attention to his tone only towards Malenkov, Molotov and others. As for Brezhnev and Shelepin, he does not receive this treatment.
In particular, Shelepin, the youngest member of the Central Committee at present, who is only 35 years old, is especially recognized by Khrushchev. He believes that the cadres of the Soviet Union should be younger, rather than a group of people who have been running the country since 1918.
In the hands of the old man.
At this time, Sheleping was already a rising star in the Soviet political arena, and he already had a group of like-minded friends. Of course, he could not have imagined that ten years later he would simultaneously serve as the Central Committee, a member of the Presidium, Secretary of the Central Committee, Chairman of the Party and State Supervisory Commission, and the First Secretary of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union.
Four important party and government positions, including the First Vice Chairman, were all powerful in the Soviet Union.
Surrounded by Yegorychev, First Secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Tikunov, First Secretary of the Leningrad Municipal Party Committee, Meshatsev of Pravda, the KGB and the Komsomol are the base camp of Shelepin. There may not be a No. 2 figure, and then
He has such great authority as Xie Leping.
If Alan Wilson were a Soviet, he would know Shelepin and would definitely persuade him to make a fuss.
What are the benefits of following Brezhnev? Just rely on Shelepin's age. Sooner or later, the Soviet Union will be his. Whatever problems Khrushchev has, you can solve them after you come to power.
But he is not a Soviet, and the British civil servants and politicians are not the same thing. Only in the British colony of Malaya can Alan Wilson find the feeling of being in power, and the Oscar-winning actress has to have several
indivual.
In Alan Wilson's view, it doesn't matter how the United States and the Soviet Union fight. What Britain should care about is how to settle the inheritance and cash it out. Before evacuating the colonies, it takes everything it can as far as possible. Of course, it is not in vain.
If you take it, you can leave a lot of pounds for independent countries to use as foreign exchange reserves.
While he was busy with colonial work, he also had to deal with his sister-in-law who came to Penang to perform care work.
Her Royal Highness has never been so focused on a job, especially after knowing that her brother-in-law was hosting a group of movie queens.
Her Royal Highness the Princess was chasing closely, so Alan Wilson could only turn his work into a secret. Fortunately, a few confidantes also understood the general situation and did not care too much. It was inevitable to complain in private.
Alan Wilson, a well-known two-faced man, talked about the moral untenability of the French military actions in front of these actors. He changed his face in front of Princess Margaret.
Vivien Leigh and others are just ordinary people, and the colonial issue cannot essentially touch these people.
Princess Margaret is a British princess. Even if she can't show it on the outside, she should know how important the colonies are to Britain.
In front of his sister-in-law, the Imperial Commissioner was concerned about the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in France, but in front of the movie queens, he was concerned about the Academy Award. Alan Wilson even initially thought that it should be more affordable and make the award in pure gold.
Later, I changed my mind after doing some cost calculations. The current economic foundation of British Malaya could not afford such extravagance and waste.
Alan Wilson is not just for petty profits, even if it is pure gold, he can completely afford it.
The key is to consider the overall economic situation of the colony. He can't imitate the Korean people and prepare for their debut. The large number of Korean trainees is essentially a manifestation of involution, and Malaya is not yet at that point.
During this period, there were also constant updates on the war situation, sent from Saigon. On the issue of imperialist unity, the British report was of course that the French army was moving from one victory to another. This can be seen in Alan Wilson's telegram
, the French offensive has stalled, and the battle has entered a stalemate.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Vietnamese army stopped the French offensive and counterattacked. After capturing three strongholds in a row, they advanced rapidly and the defenders fled. They captured Kontum City and completely annihilated the northern part of Xiyuan.
The enemy then continued southward, approaching Highway 19, and attacked Polegu City, liberating a total of 160,000 square kilometers of land and 200,000 people, forcing the French army to stop its attack on the Phu Yen area and urgently mobilize troops to strengthen
Polegu City and the strongholds in the southern part of Xiyuan to prevent the Vietnamese army from continuing to move south.
Later, the Vietnamese army wiped out an enemy battalion and occupied Attapeu. The only commander of the lower camp defending the enemy was a Frenchman, and the rest were Laotian puppet troops. Their combat effectiveness was extremely weak, their equipment was poor, and their training was not worth mentioning. Under the influence of the Vietnamese army,
The troops quickly collapsed in front of the front. The Vietnamese army took advantage of the victory and advanced, quickly liberating the entire province of Mangmai and most of Sarawan Province.
General Navarre's mopping up plan failed after less than a week. The defenders of Dien Bien Phu immediately became real defenders. The entire territory of Laos has been occupied, and one-third of the French colony has been occupied.
Already lost.
"The French are really worrying!" If Her Royal Highness hadn't been there, Alan Wilson would have wanted to scold these idiots.
"Brother-in-law, is the war situation unfavorable for the French?" Seeing her brother-in-law's troubles, Princess Margaret acted obediently and did not act arbitrarily at this time. She forgot that she was questioning her brother-in-law's character just now.
Because she remembered something, it seemed that there was an astonishing overlap between the Hollywood female star who was a guest in Newfoundland and the female star who was currently vacationing in Penang, and she asked about this.
After having doubts, Princess Margaret's thoughts became clear. She remembered Ellen Wilson's extra-large bra at the Governor's House in Newfoundland. It was said that it belonged to Ingrid Bergman personally, and Ingrid Bergman was
Came here once.
"It's hard to imagine that the French lost all of Laos so quickly." Alan Wilson shook his head incomprehensibly, clasping his hands on his waist and worrying about the fate of his imperialist brothers.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, you can see it from the performance of the French in World War II." Princess Margaret curled her lips and said.
Alan Wilson glanced at Her Royal Highness, everyone in the UK is an expert on the matter of insulting the law. However, most people do not understand the key points when insulting the law. In fact, the French army in the Vietnam War was so embarrassing, which is the essence of insulting the law.
But why is it that the Vietnam War is rarely used to humiliate the law? This question is very simple, because the United States is more humiliated in Vietnam. If using the Vietnam War to humiliate the law is essentially humiliating the United States, how can filial sons and grandsons dare to blacken the lighthouse of humanity? Isn't that a rebellion?
France is now at a disadvantage, and Alan Wilson has no choice but to do so. Many conditions are not met. If the battlefield were in southern Vietnam, he would have carried out ethnic cleansing if he were a Frenchman, arming Cambodians and killing Vietnamese.
But the situation in South Vietnam is still calm, so we can't do this without a reason. But what about in the north? Laos' strength is too low to pose a threat to Vietnam, not to mention that Laos has fallen.
"Dear General, the last batch of napalm bombs has been shipped. I wish France all the best. Malaya has been very unstable recently. Conflicts broke out between the Chinese and Malays. The British have tried their best to help."
This suggestive telegram arrived in the hands of General Navarre. The first thing was to remind the French to use napalm bombs quickly, before the rainy season continues. The second thing was to suggest that the war should not be limited to
On the battlefield, Vietnamese buildings were mainly made of wood, and nearby villages were immediately cleared.
Of course, Alan Wilson could not directly say that he would kill a hundred people and pour the flames of war on civilians. He could only use this suggestive tone to let the French army expand the scope of the war.
In this way, even if the French army is defeated, the battlefield can be turned into a white field. You must know that a large number of French troops are composed of people from the North African colonies. They will kill and injure Vietnamese civilians in large numbers. This will also make the soldiers of these colonies more likely to face choices in the future.
