Chapter 107: Internal Affairs Are Bigger Than Foreign Affairs

This is also normal, everyone is the head of a country, naturally there is no need to worry about the mood of the little shrimp, and the matter is settled in a lively conversation, the bright line is Ivel's negotiation team, and the dark line is Alan Wilson's dark box operation.

But the most important channel is actually the communication between Prime Minister Attlee and Stalin himself.

Direct communication between heads of state is more important than any bright and dark line, and that is the real decision. I'm busy here, and I'm just trying to have fun.

"We're basically done talking about the Soviets, and all that's left is the confrontation between the Americans and the Soviets. I don't know where we'll be working after this meeting. "Ivor is in a good mood, and he has already fantasized about the future of prosperity.

"Me? I want to go back to India now. Alan Wilson thought about it for a moment and gave a very serious answer. He had had enough of the conditions in Europe, and was far less comfortable than the life of British India.

You can't blame Alan Wilson for not being conscious, he is such a low-end person, and he doesn't have any high-end thoughts in his head. He was ready to return to British India at any time and spend the last two years on a fishing spree.

Once the Potsdam Conference was over, Alan Wilson was ready to run the matter of returning to British India for work. In fact, even now, he was tired of such so-called important international conferences.

"Adviser Churchill just gave Marshal Zhukov a glass of wine, and it looks very harmonious." Aifu didn't think so much, and he was still in an atmosphere where the negotiations were going well.

"Oh?" Alan Wilson thought about Churchill's consistent position on the Soviet Union, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Our advisers are stirring up relations between Marshal Zhukov and Stalin himself. ”

It is not surprising that Zhukov, who is now the military chief of the Soviet Union in Germany, also visited Stalin several times during the Potsdam Conference. Seized by an anti-Soviet veteran like Churchill to bury a mine! It can only be said that the British Empire still has a unique talent in mixing this aspect.

"By the way, Marshal Zhukov seems to have proposed to invite Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union." Ivor said one more thing, saying that there is a lot going on in Potsdam today.

The invitation to Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union was a decision made by Stalin himself after consulting with Zhukov. Although Truman did not like Churchill to use guns indiscriminately, this was entirely because Churchill himself liked to talk nonsense, and it did not mean that Truman was not hostile to the Soviet Union.

Stalin deeply felt the need to strengthen relations between the Soviet Union and the United States, and he discussed with Zhukov about inviting Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union.

In Stalin's view, Zhukov's personal invitation was not a political event, but a visit as a military activist, thus avoiding an embarrassing situation due to contradictions between countries. At the same time, through the international influence of the two commanders-in-chief of major countries, they also expressed a signal of friendship and willingness to improve relations between the two countries, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Eisenhower had already agreed to Marshal Zhukov's invitation and was expected to visit the Soviet Union in August.

Alan Wilson was blackmailing and reasoning in the dark box operation, and he was like a Soviet woman in the vegetable market. Alan Wilson scolds hypocrisy!

However, this only proves that countries still need time to steer public opinion at home and delay the coming all-out confrontation.

But then again, what events did the Cold War officially begin, Churchill's Iron Curtain speech, the founding of NATO, or McCarthy's troubles in the United States? That's really a tough question.

Anyway, according to history as a reference, in the past two years, several participating countries have not had the energy to trouble each other, adjust domestic production and policies, and feel that they are ready, and then they will go into battle shirtless.

"Alan, you're back from Berlin." Alexander Cadogan saw Alan Wilson returning, and asked in a tone of ignorance, "How are things going in Berlin?" ”

"It's okay, Permanent Secretary." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile and said everything was going well. It's as if really going out to do something else missed the Potsdam Conference.

Acknowledging Alan Wilson's no-nonsense friend, Alexander Cadogan nodded, "Go to Jazz's room." ”

"Okay!" Alan Wilson nodded politely and said goodbye to the hall and went upstairs.

Edward Bridges stayed alone in the room, as if the excitement outside had nothing to do with him, but belonged to the young man, not surprised by Alan Wilson's arrival, stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat in front of him, and waited for the arrival to sit down before speaking, "Are you very surprised by everything today?" ”

"There are some!" Alan Wilson sat down stiffly, waiting for Edward Bridges' question.

"Our prime minister thinks that the goal has been achieved, and the most important thing at the moment is to return to normalcy as soon as possible, which is of course a good thing, but for some people it may have two sides." Edward Bridges said slowly, "If British India becomes independent, the civilization and the rule of law of the British Empire will be dealt a heavy blow, which no one wants to see, I have done my best to maintain order, but it seems that the Prime Minister has made up his mind." ”

"Wow! It's a tragedy. Alan Wilson was sweating a little, the contrast between the two prime ministers really tested the hearts of civil servants, and the predecessor Churchill was busy burying mines and stirring up trouble on various occasions. The current Prime Minister Attlee, on the other hand, is focusing on the country and preparing to turn a blind eye to what is happening outside the window.

"The people of British India should be ready." Edward Bridges put it pointedly, "I believe that the civil servants of British India were models of industriousness and loyalty in the British Empire. But we have to think about it from the worst-case scenario, there are not so many national jobs on home, what would you do if it were you? ”

"I'll find a way to go to other colonies." Alan Wilson paused to give his answer, "Don't trouble the tense employment situation at home." ”

"Good, if only most people thought like you." Edward Bridges sighed, "I'll take a steady, relaxed attitude and try to buy time." However, the Prime Minister's liberals believed that British India had invested more than it had gained, and that it should be withdrawn as soon as possible. You're the only person in Potsdam who has worked in India, and maybe the Prime Minister will want to ask you about India, and you should know how to answer. ”
