As for the question of British India, in fact, there were only two attitudes: whether to resolutely keep it or to temporarily shrink and hope for a comeback, and in the minds of British politicians in 1945 there was no idea of completely shrinking back to the British Isles and living one day at a time.

Both the Conservatives and the Labour Party believed that the present difficulties were temporary, and that if British India did not develop independently, it would be an opportunity for the British Empire to make a comeback. But Alan Wilson knew that this was too idealistic.

In the matter of land, a lot of history has proven that once lost, it is almost lost forever. The chances of a comeback are slim to none, and what many think tanks say about India's independence will be divided into seven or eight small countries, begging Britain to go back to the future.

Alan Wilson, who had spoken to Edward Bridges, was soon summoned by Prime Minister Attlee. Prime Minister Attlee, of course, would not talk about how he personally settled the matter with Stalin and Iran.

As the Cabinet Secretary had anticipated, there was a diplomat at the Potsdam Conference who had worked in British India, and the Prime Minister wanted to ask about British India, a colony of the British Empire.

The independence of British India was not at all a new issue, so to speak, which had plagued London for many years.

At the end of World War I, Britain planned an independent plan to form an independent "Federation of India" consisting of Hindustan, a region with a large number of Hindus, Pakistan, a region with a large number of Hindus, and Pakistan, while retaining the princely kingdoms, but could not reach a consensus.

Before the end of World War II, Cripps, Lord of the Seals and leader of the House of Commons, traveled to India and promised to grant India the status of a Dominion after the war. After Cripps arrived in India, he put forward the British proposal for India, also known as the "Cripps Proposal".

After high-level consultations with India, Britain decided to issue a proposal for the establishment of an autonomous government in India in the shortest possible time, and the content of the proposal was to establish a new Union of India and make it a Dominion, which would have the same status as Britain itself and other Dominion countries, and would not be subordinate to any other country in internal or foreign affairs.

However, it was also proposed that the princely states of British India should have the right not to join the newly established Union of India, which made it possible to establish two, or even two or more political entities on the original lands of India, thus opening the door to the division of India.

In Alan Wilson's view, Cripps's proposal was actually quite good, not by religion, but by the provinces and princely states of British India, which would help to fragment British India.

However, there are also disadvantages, in the unified body, the Muslim League led by Jinnah could not compete with the Congress led by Nehru in any way, Ali Jinnah foresaw the numerical disadvantage of the peace believers in the whole of South Asia, and said that he would rather be in the same country as the Hindus in civil war.

When asked by Prime Minister Attlee, Alan Wilson said that the tension between the Muslim League and the Congress Party was that Ali Jinnah and Nehru could not urinate in the same pot at all.

Edward Bridges, the cabinet secretary who had been prepared, said without a trace, "In fact, the prime minister wants to give up India, just because India's investment is greater than the harvest, saving money and allowing the country to recover prosperity faster." ”

"Of course, Edward. Citizens at home cannot go hungry and tighten their belts to preserve the dignity of the British Empire. Attlee sighed, he didn't want India to be independent if he had a choice. But he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and immediately withdrew the European army and went to India to suppress it, where did the money come from?

"Dear Prime Minister, on a larger scale, colonial independence is not a problem for us in the British Empire itself, and there are many European countries facing the same problem, so perhaps we can let gentlemen sit down and talk about it with all selflessness." Speaking of which, Edward Bridges gave Alan Wilson a look.

Alan Wilson understood, said that he wanted to find some information, and exited the prime minister's room. The next thing that the Cabinet Secretary will talk about is what I said before, and on the colonial issue, there are France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, and even Spain, and ask the attitude of other countries.

A spectre, a specter of colonialism, roamed over Europe, the British Empire, the French Fourth Republic, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium were all united, the Prime Minister and the dictator, the President and the Queen, the British Labour Party and the French generals, all united.

On the question of how Britain could recover quickly, Edward Bridges shared Alan Wilson's thoughts, not forgetting to add, "In fact, in a sense, this means more like only the Soviets would do." But I personally have no prejudice against the Soviet Union and am good at learning from the merits of other countries, which is the fine tradition of the British Empire. ”

Churchill, who also appeared in the name of a British adviser at the Sechelinhof Palace, sneezed for no reason, "Winston, what's wrong with you?" U.S. President Harry S. Truman burst out laughing, laughing at Churchill's funny scene.

An assistant secretary of state walked briskly to Truman's side and handed over a telegram that was very simple: "The boy was born, and the cry was heard far away......

Four days ago, at 5:24 a.m. on 16 July, the United States conducted its first nuclear test in human history. About a thousand scientists, government officials, etc. were invited to visit.

Hanging 30 meters above the ground is the finished product of the Manhattan Project, a nuclear bomb with a plutonium charge of 6.1 kilograms and a TNT yield of 22,000 tons. The explosion produced tens of millions of degrees of heat and tens of billions of atmospheres, causing the tower to melt into gas and form a huge crater in the ground.

The smoke and dust raised by the nuclear explosion are like clouds that soar into the sky, which is extremely terrifying. The sand and gravel within a radius of 400 meters were melted into a yellow-green glassy substance, and all animals within a radius of 1,600 meters died. The atomic bomb was nearly 20 times more powerful than scientists had originally estimated. A huge ball of fire rose eight thousand meters into the air, brighter than a thousand suns.

"Winston, I dreamed yesterday of world domination." As president, Truman certainly knew what the telegram meant, and he couldn't wait to share the joy of victory with Churchill.

The joy of the nuclear test filled Truman with joy and a sense of pride in his heart, but the main topics of the Potsdam Conference had already been discussed, and the thought of this could not help but feel a little disappointed.

"We should make the leaders of the Soviet Union understand that the world has changed." Churchill immediately suggested that Truman should inform Stalin of the news.
