Chapter 110: The First Nuclear Blackmail
Men can have guns without them, but they can't do without guns, and this mentality is exactly what President Truman is saying about now.
Even Truman felt a little regretful in his heart, how could the Potsdam Conference go so smoothly, and he had finished talking about most of the issues, so that he was useless now, and his heart was no longer anxious about the beginning of the Soviet Union's war against Japan.
But the Potsdam Conference was such a big thing, it occupied the headlines of the newspapers of various countries every day, the progress of every day was known to the whole world, and everything that should be talked about had been discussed, and he was helpless now.
In order to get the Soviet Union into the war, the United States, like Britain, also betrayed the interests of many countries to the Soviet Union.
Now, although he has a nuclear bomb in his hand, he feels that he has become full of confidence, and he has directly turned against Stalin in the presence of the whole world. For a politician, the stakes are still very high.
Especially in the United States now, the United States must show a higher sense of morality than other countries in order to buy people's hearts, take over world hegemony from Britain and France, and by the way complete the task of suppressing the Soviet Union.
It's simple to think, but it takes time to adjust slowly to do all this, and domestic consensus and public opinion support are indispensable.
Truman is still young, and if he were a king of the 21st century, he would certainly not have so many concerns.
For various reasons, it was impossible for Truman to overturn the previous resolution, but it was still possible to find an occasion to give Stalin a dismissal, and Truman's gaze hidden behind the lenses was full of eager colors.
Before the meeting, Truman was so excited to see Stalin and Churchill that he forgot that he was now one of the Big Three, just as a young child suddenly saw his favorite idol.
But now, with a nuclear bomb in his hand, a weapon he had never seen before, thought he could move back to the next game.
After all, Potsdam was in the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany, and at the time of the Potsdam Conference, most of the supplies were provided by the Soviet Union, Stalin himself held several state dinners for Churchill and Truman, and of course the British were later replaced by the new Prime Minister Attlee.
As the various issues had been discussed, the tensions between the delegates eased, and the Soviet state banquets became more frequent, seemingly to celebrate the impending victory.
In the evening, the Seichleenhof Palace was brightly lit, the Big Three Stalin, Truman and Attlee, as well as the British adviser Winston Churchill, were all there, and the hall was even more full of lights, and diplomats from Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union raised their glasses and clinked glasses with their negotiators for many days to show friendship and unity.
Alan Wilson also did not avoid eating Hesse, since it was a supply provided by the enemy Soviet Union, he was not polite. With a flash of her eyes, she saw Fortseva in the midst of the Soviet crowd.
I have to say that although Fortseva is in her thirties, she still looks very outstanding standing there, and she has a feeling of standing out from the crowd, which has kept several American diplomats who want to be flies away.
"Oh, Americans! Even if I lose a place where there are only orangutans, I don't doubt that Americans will have a cross-species exchange. Alan Wilson muttered to Ivor that caused the latter to snicker.
"Alan, why don't you try?" "Let the American hillbillies know that the gentlemen of the British Empire are absolutely different from them," said Ivor in a playful tone. ”
Alan Wilson took a deep look at the ill-intentioned French insulting pioneer, and wished the other party a place in the French embassy as soon as possible, but straightened his back and walked to the Soviets, "Dear lady, you are so fascinating, I have seen several Americans who have touched the nail on your face." ”
Fortseva didn't want to talk to Alan Wilson, but she couldn't be too stiff on this occasion, so she could only put on a smile and chat with Alan Wilson.
On the other hand, Truman found an opportunity to carry out the first blackmail of his presidency, and the target was Stalin, who had great prestige in the hearts of the people of the whole world. This bomb is unusual, its destructive power is unimaginable. ”
Truman opened his mouth to mention Stalin's military rank, and said something like this, Stalin, who faced the first nuclear blackmail in human history, his face remained unchanged, but he was already well aware of the fact that the nuclear test was successful, and said with a sincere smile, "Then he should be used on the Japanese to end the war as soon as possible." ”
Truman was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Churchill, maybe Stalin didn't know the power of nuclear bombs at all, how could he expect the other party to be surprised?
These two stupid people! A trace of contempt flashed in Stalin's eyes, although he was silent on the surface, he had already determined that Truman was blackmailing him just now, and seeing that Truman was no longer the respectful appearance he had at the beginning of the meeting, he understood that the United States had changed now, and at the same time he was glad that the Soviet Union's war against Japan had already begun.
Alan Wilson, who already has some experience with tool people, naturally doesn't know about the confrontation between the heads of state, and he is still circling Fortseva, "I believe that the friendship between our countries will not change in the past two years, I don't know what Miss Fortseva knows about Britain?" ”
"Ms. Vivien Leigh was very well known in the Soviet Union." Fortseva thought about it for a moment, and seemed to think of something at once, "If I really had the opportunity to meet her, I believe I would be very excited." ”
Before the war, Vivien Leigh and Oliver both starred in "Mrs. Hamilton," which was a hit in the United States and in the Soviet Union, and Fortseva saw the film.
is worthy of being the Minister of Culture, and it is still posted on the bank. Although he thought so, Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, "If a lady comes to the UK one day, I believe Vivien Leigh is also very willing to meet you, maybe it will be a pleasure between our two countries." ”
Two little shrimps who talk very happily, naturally they don't know that when they are talking about cultural things, the first nuclear blackmail in human history has appeared, if Alan Wilson knows, he will not regret not seeing the famous scene, the nuclear bomb will not necessarily make him bow his head, and the same Mao Mei is not necessarily, so this formula is probably about one nuclear bomb is equal to one Mao Mei.
The Potsdam Conference has come to an end, and the British, American, and Soviet parties have begun to draft a communiqué to be published in a few days.
