"Once the members of the Polish government in exile return to Poland, it is not up to you Soviets to decide whether they go to Siberia to build socialism. It will have nothing to do with us at that time." Otherwise, they would not agree to exchange Greece for Poland.
Before one o'clock, Alan Wilson received guidance from the Cabinet Secretary and was fully aware of this.
Britain recognized Poland as belonging to the Soviet Union, but keeping the Polish government in exile in London was equivalent to an opposition in the hands of its opponents. This was completely different from the Yugoslavia issue that had just emerged.
The difference is that Poland will definitely be garrisoned by the Soviet Red Army, while Yugoslavia is still in the hands of Tito, a leader who started the war. It is a country that is completely in his hands. The Soviet Union certainly does not want to have an opposition in the hands of its opponent.
Yugoslavia is now a suspicious ally for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has opposition on the opposite side of such a country and can only rely on itself to maintain security and be happy to see the results.
"Mr. Allen, even so, don't you think the UK's sincerity is still not enough?" Fortseva was not fooled by Alan Wilson's rhetoric. As long as it is a country, the rhetoric is the same, she asked rhetorically
He said, "War against Japan is what the United States hopes for most. Britain is willing to help and even puts the Polish government-in-exile on the negotiating table for this purpose. Why exactly?"
Unexpectedly, I had already offered to let the Poles go to Siberia to grow potatoes, but I still couldn't impress the woman in front of me.
Still talking like a lion? Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. He still underestimated the greed of the Soviets. He asked rhetorically, "Ms. Fortseva, what other demands does the Soviet Union have that we can tell you directly?"
"We expect to receive compensation from the German fleet, otherwise our Soviet Union will not have the maritime transport capacity to make landings. This request is not too much, right? Japan is an island country, isn't it?" Fortseva looked at Ellen Wilson levelly, and did not feel that her
Too demanding.
"The German fleet went to fight in Japan? This reminds me of the Russo-Japanese War. Did the Soviet Union want to go through a 220-day voyage and then land in Japan? To be honest, by the time the Soviet Union arrived in Japan, Japan had already surrendered.
From what I know about the Americans, with their superiority in the navy and air force, the Americans will not give the Soviet Union even one square meter of land." Alan Wilson analyzed calmly, "And the Soviet Union has not even the slightest bit of land.
Counterattack is possible, the navy is too weak."
"Don't look at me with suspicion. Truman has just come to power and he urgently needs to make some achievements. It is true that he is asking for help from the Soviet Union now. Once he realizes that he does not need the help of the Soviet Union and turns his back, it is also true. People like this who have just come to power are
The president is still a person who succeeds the president as the vice president, but lacks prestige, and his behavior is completely unpredictable. I believe you know, Ms. Fortseva, that the US Secretary of State did not appear at this important meeting."
"In fact, on June 27, the former Secretary of State had just been transferred. In fact, it only took a few days for the new Secretary of State to take office. However, Truman couldn't wait to come to Berlin. This does not prove that he urgently needs to accumulate honors.
What?"
At this point, Alan Wilson no longer cares about the special relationship between Britain and the United States. As long as it can give the British Empire a chance to breathe, he will let the United States die? Anyway, the United States has not been damaged by the war, and the family's great business can fully bear it.
Calculation.
Alan Wilson, who claimed that I could not speak a word of Russian, kept talking nonsense to Fortseva. The latter was able to resist at first, but in the blink of an eye it was noon.
Alan Wilson, who had eaten something, seemed to have replenished his strength, but Furtseva discovered that the high-energy negotiations this time had just begun. In order to get the Soviet Union to agree to immediately start fighting against Japan, Alan Wilson could be said to have forced the United States to
Totally sold.
Before arriving, Edward Bridges also gave Alan Wilson a certain degree of authorization. For example, he could allow the Soviets to use British maritime power in Asia to complete landing operations.
In fact, even if this is the case, Edward Bridges feels that the Soviets may not be able to agree to the betrayal of the Polish government-in-exile, because after all, this is a war that requires risking one's life, not a child's play house. The war is about death.
human.
There is indeed little hope of allowing the Soviets to carry out a landing battle that the Soviet Union is not good at relying on negotiations.
On the evening of June 29th, in the Cecilienhof Palace, Alan Wilson reported in a moderate voice the process of today's secret operation.
Almost at the same time, Fortseva did exactly the same thing as Alan Wilson. The person she reported to was Stalin himself, and what she mentioned was Alan Wilson's high-energy nagging throughout the whole process after noon today.
When he heard that Britain was prepared to condition the Polish government-in-exile, Stalin was noncommittal.
Hearing the suspicion about the massacre of Katyn Poles, Stalin's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the follow-up work of this matter must be dealt with cleanly, and no evidence should be allowed to remain in the world and be made a fuss by the enemy.
When he heard the British proposal to repatriate the Yugoslavs, Stalin finally couldn't help laughing. He didn't want those opponents to return to Yugoslavia at all. He asked, "Any other interesting suggestions? Speak slowly. I don't want to."
in a hurry."
"Okay, Comrade Stalin, this man really said a lot of things, and I will definitely give a complete report." Fortseva recalled as she began to repeat the high-energy conversation that started at noon.
"Among the powerful countries in the world today, only the United States has not suffered any damage to its homeland. The United States now has strong economic and military power." Following Fortseva's words, Stalin made a gesture of listening and judged the authenticity of these remarks in his mind.
.
"The United States can completely use its huge economic power to lead the reconstruction of Europe. Neither other countries nor Britain and France have the ability to resist this. Economic reconstruction will inevitably bring military and political influence. Although this is only a hypothesis, it is not the Soviet Union.
Hope to see it.”
"The Soviet Union should not want Britain and France to be too weak. Once Britain and France are so weak that they are unable to resist the United States and end up in a subordinate position, no matter whether Britain and France are willing or not, they will eventually become part of the blockade of the Soviet Union."
This is very possible! Although it is just a hypothesis, Stalin seemed calm but approved of this idea.
Fortseva finally said, "Comrade Stalin, before leaving, he said that the United States has an unprecedented weapon that has reached its final stage. If the Soviet Union stops responding now and waits until this weapon is successfully developed, the Soviet Union will lose everything.
Bargaining capital, in my opinion, is blackmail."
Stalin's eyes were fixed, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the room. Just when Fortseva was a little uneasy, she finally heard Stalin's instructions, "Everything today will always be a secret, Comrade Fortseva."
