Chapter 82 Dismissal Order

"I've also learned patience from this unexpected incident." First habitually patted the ass, Alexander Cadogan said as if remembering something, "It seems that Allen's luck is really good, and he can be exempted from punishment." ”

"Judging from the work he has carried out since he returned to London, he is indeed in an overly busy situation, and he can only be young and good, and he has inexhaustible energy." Edward Bridges smiled and said with some envy, "It's only been a long time, and I've almost run all over the Allied territory, of course, the more things you do, the greater the possibility of natural mistakes." ”

The more you do, the more you get wrong, and this is also the case in London, and Edward Bridges knows this for many years in the civil service.

"Young people always have some ideals, as long as they are not dangerous." Alexander Cadogan said on the side.

"Ideal? Ah, of course it's important! Edward Bridges almost made a mistake to tell the truth, but immediately continued, "Allen was taken abroad by Wilson Sr. very early, and it is not impossible that he will be exposed to some ill-fashioned ideas. But it is very reassuring to see from the present that the experience of British India was not in vain. ”

Colonial civil servants are an important part of the civil service system of the British Empire, who makes the British Empire a colonial empire, not to mention others, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next to him, Alexander Cadogan, is a representative of the colonial civil service.

Among the civil servants in the colonies, the civil servants of the British India were the largest group among them, and the 100,000 civil servants of the British Indian and their families were not even smaller than the local civil servants, and their number was close to half of the local civil servants.

If it weren't for the importance of the civil service in British India, Sir Barron would not have been particularly valued by Edward Bridges, not because he had a special preference for Sir Barron, but because whoever achieved the position of cabinet secretary would have made the same choice.

As far as Alan Wilson's mistakes are concerned, Edward Bridges, judging from the recent report, is nothing more than too energetic, and he has just arrived in Europe and wants to improve, and there is a certain negligence.

This is all forgivable, it is not possible to say that there is a deliberate move, but it is not impossible to have some secret operations with Ali Khan, the monarch of Hyderabad, because judging from the shipload of grain that arrived in Hamburg, Alan Wilson should be in some place and is helping Ali Khan do something.

This discussion decided that Alan Wilson was not affected by this refugee crossing. The Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have decided that this is an unpredictable isolated incident, and no one wants such a thing to happen, but if it does, it can only be calmly faced.

The British Empire was not responsible in this matter, this was a matter for the United States, and the USSR could reserve the right to pursue it. But the British Empire was willing to work for that end, so that the united Allies would not blame each other for it.

As for Alan Wilson's decision, it is up to him to keep in touch with the United States and assist in the follow-up process.

"It's not good!" Alan Wilson was also a little embarrassed after being clicked by Alexander Cadogan.

What's the difference between this and having a wolf watch over the flock? In fact, he understands the consequences of refugees crossing the border, and his heart is like a mirror.

It was precisely because he understood the consequences of this incident that he did this, on the one hand, to provoke the hostility of the Soviet Union. But it didn't seem to work, news had already come from the USSR that it was going to protest at the Potsdam Conference.

On the other hand, there will be the problem of Yugoslavia, where there is such a strong group of opponents abroad. Tito, whether he wanted it or not, had to move closer to the Soviet Union.

There is only one reason for this, the current Soviet Union is still too weak, and the original Cold War confrontation in Europe, the Soviet camp was indeed surrounded by the American camp, and even if Yugoslavia joined the Warsaw Pact, it would only level the geographical disadvantage.

This would give the Soviet Union a passage into the Mediterranean, which was not strictly speaking, not all flattened, after all, Yugoslavia, facing Italy under the influence of the United States, was as embarrassing as the Soviet Union in the Baltic Sea.

The Soviet Union did not show great hostility, but only said that it would be a pretext for the Soviet Union to make trouble at the Potsdam Conference, but the meeting was held as scheduled to relieve the relief of London.

July 5 is the general election in the United Kingdom, if the Potsdam Conference cannot be held as scheduled, it may have an important impact on this election, but Alan Wilson, who knows the history, estimates that the Potsdam Conference will not save Churchill.

This general election in history is not a close election at all, it can be said that the Conservative Party has lost all the bottoms, and the Labour Party has been beaten all the way, even if the Potsdam Conference has been held earlier than history, the Conservative Party will not be able to save it.

Alan Wilson, who was not affected, was writing a report to London, and naturally repeated the statement about the Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office that this was an isolated incident.

Then he mentioned the preparations for the Potsdam Conference, as well as the attitude of the Soviet side to ensure that the meeting could go ahead as scheduled. For this reason, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Cadogan, has already completed the integration with the Soviet side.

This time, the Soviet side exercised remarkable restraint in the case of Yugoslav refugees crossing the border. Of course, Britain welcomed this, and in addition to Tito in Yugoslavia, the other country that was uncomfortable was the United States.

In Washington, D.C., the new owner of the White House, Truman, who took over as president after Roosevelt's death, was frowning at the telegram sent by Eisenhower, and Patton did not hesitate to be a problem general in the eyes of his new president.

At the important moment when the Potsdam Conference was about to take place, such a problem was created among the countries.

"General Patton showed undisguised hostility towards the Soviet Union, and many former German soldiers gathered around him." Looking at General Eisenhower's telegram account, Truman fell into deep thought.

The biggest problem at hand now is to get the Soviets to join the war against Japan and completely defeat the last resistance of the Axis powers, and Truman will not give a good face to anyone who undermines this premise, and this is the first time he is about to go abroad to attend an important international conference, and he is almost ruined.

This must not be tolerated! Truman made an important decision to dismiss General Patton, and the telegram quickly reached Europe, reaching Eisenhower. Truman's ruthlessness will definitely not be the last to be experienced, and Truman, who defeated Dewey a few years later, will also make Chang Gong realize.
