Chapter 106: The Peak Turns Around
To be honest, Alan Wilson didn't like this kind of feeling of being a fox and a tiger, which was similar to the Chang Gong who complained about the Soviet Union and the American imperialism in his eyes, but the British Empire was now obviously unable to understand the Soviet Union, which no outstanding diplomat could change.
World War III was actually something that the Soviet Union was afraid of, and in the period just after World War II, World War III was not such an uncommon idea, from Germany to Japan, countless soldiers of the Axis powers who were still resisting, felt that sooner or later the Allied bloc would turn their faces.
Once there is a change in the world, today's enemies may be tomorrow's friends, and among the US troops on the German side, Patton, who has just been cheated by Alan Wilson, is a representative of the US military.
But both sides are jealous of each other, Britain and the United States are not traditional army powers, the Soviet Union and even the predecessor Imperial Russia's army is famous, not to mention that the Soviet Red Army has just bulldozed the Germans who swept across Europe.
For the Soviet Union, ordinary citizens may not know how much the Soviet Union suffered in this war, but the top brass knows very well that the current Soviet Union is in a mess except for the Red Army soldiers who have been sharpened by the war.
Alan Wilson thought that under this mutual jealousy, it would not be difficult to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union. But I didn't expect that the attitude of the Soviet Union was still so unreasonable.
In desperation, he could only learn from Chang Gong and move out of the Third World War to blackmail.
The next day, Alan Wilson was prepared to have no consensus and waited for Fortseva to arrive. After staring at each other for a long time, Fortseva finally broke the silence and said, "Your war threat to the Soviet Union will definitely be remembered." ”
"I want to defend the interests of the British Empire, and if the Soviet Union can communicate with a reasonable attitude like a normal country, the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union will not be too bad, especially now when Prime Minister Attlee is in power. I hope that the Soviet Union will not take the goodwill of Britain as appeasement, although we appeased once, but in the end it was Germany that fell. Alan Wilson said slowly, "Don't push an empire with past glory into a dead end. ”
"But on land we have an advantage." Fortseva had actually been approved by Stalin, but she still wanted to make a final effort to show her worth.
"The USSR did not have any advantages, except for the army. At present, the armies of various countries have not been disbanded, and the Soviet Union cannot show this advantage. Alan Wilson was only superficially calm.
"Now there are two voices, one is to reach a deal with the UK, and the other is to think that the UK is blackmailing." Fortseva sighed and said, "Is there a way to do it without losing decency?" ”
An agreement is imminent, and Alan Wilson is also in a hurry to figure it out, not for nothing, and said, "You don't necessarily have to use the military to build influence, you can use other methods to achieve the goal, you see the Americans stuffed 30,000 people into Iran, but they all went in under the guise of drilling workers and civilian personnel." These people are also in the ranks of the agreed withdrawal, and must be evacuated along with the British and Soviet garrisons at that time. But still not without it! ”
"What's the solution?" Seeing that Alan Wilson's attitude had softened, Fortseva hurriedly asked.
"The Soviet Union could build a few more consulates, and the embassy in Tehran could be expanded." Alan Wilson said slowly, "The consulate can be regarded as an overseas territory, and it is not impossible for you to cram two or three thousand staff members into it." ”
This trick was learned from the United States, which was about the size of the Vatican and located near the center of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, in the so-called International Security Zone.
The embassy sits in the north and faces south, and to the south is the Tigris River, the largest river in Iraq, which provides the first barrier for the security of the embassy, and also facilitates the entry and exit of personnel in the embassy.
There is an airfield inside the embassy, which is convenient for the support of the United States Air Force, and the staff employed by the American embassy is 5,000 tall, and it is said to be an embassy, but Alan Wilson seems to be a concession with the name of the embassy.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, the Soviet Union would sooner or later think of this method, and during the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet embassies of various countries maintained a huge scale.
On this day, Alan Wilson had insomnia, not thinking about Fortseva's face, but knowing that time was running out for him. The original intention of one win, one draw and one loss seems to be difficult to achieve.
Alan Wilson, who was reluctant to negotiate with Fortseva, had nothing to say when he sat in front of the other party again.
For a whole day, the two of them did not mention anything about Iran, but chatted about family life, recalling what they were doing when the war broke out, how they spent the past few years, and their usual work.
Hearing that Fortseva turned out to be a textile worker, Alan Wilson sneered, causing the latter's displeasure, "It seems that Mr. Allen's family is very good, and he looks down on us working women. ”
"No, it just doesn't look like it from the outside." Alan Wilson apologized with sincerity, if he remembered correctly, Marilyn Monroe was also a textile worker, and the textile worker seems to be a potential stock.
"Ms. Fortseva, I apologize for the recent rudeness in the negotiations, such is the kind of relations between states and countries, and I myself have no prejudice against the USSR or any country in the world. I also know that a lot of domestic remarks about the Soviet Union are slander, and praise for our country and praise for the United States is praise. But there is no way around it. Alan Wilson stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "According to you Soviets, there are individuals who betray the class, and there are no classes that betray the class. ”
"Actually, if you can recognize that, you can make a difference." Fortseva held out her hand and shook Alan Wilson's hand.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in treason." Alan Wilson smiled, good people don't do it, what equality does he think about every day? He now wanted to return to British India at once.
But when Alan Wilson returned to Sechelinhof Palace, he was stunned by the scene before him, and the diplomats of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union were opening champagne to celebrate, without any tension before.
"What's going on?" Alan Wilson found Ivor in the crowd and asked.
"We have reached an agreement with the Soviets, and tomorrow there will be a joint statement in the newspapers guaranteeing Iran's neutral status." "You don't know, I haven't been able to sleep for days, it's been a tough negotiation. ”
Who isn't? Alan Wilson froze in place, does this mean that the top leaders on both sides have deceived the executors?
