Chapter 105: The Final Blackmail

Constant negotiations, constant returns, and now the British delegation has made it clear that the Soviet Union, like Britain, is paying more attention to the Iranian issue, and that Britain cannot back down on this issue, and that the Soviet Union's heart to intervene in the Middle East must be suppressed.

The Soviet Union was an old rival of Britain, and even the predecessor of the Soviet Union, Imperial Russia, itself had always been the object of vigilance of the British Empire, and it was only in modern times that the Germans stole the limelight.

Then again, the Germans helped at least the Soviet Union and the United States, withstanding part of the firepower of the British Empire in both world wars. In the end, these two rising stars did not talk about martial virtue in front of this old comrade of the British Empire today.

The consequences of Iran's concessions are extremely serious, and if there is one country in the world that can stand there, it can affect the situation in the whole of Eurasia, and there is no doubt that this country will not be the second choice except the Soviet Union.

Although the United States is also a country with vast land and resources, in the Americas, even if the hand is stretched out, the end of the strong crossbow is not able to penetrate the reckless.

If Britain is careless in thinking that the Soviet Union will use the tacit understanding between countries to solve the problem, once the Soviet Union repents, the consequences will be very serious. The entire Eurasian continent would be cut in two by the Soviet Union in the Persian Gulf, and at that time there would be no country in the world that could compete with the Soviet Union.

As long as the Soviet Union reaches 70 percent of the strength of the United States, it will be able to rely on its huge territory to radiate to the Eurasian continent and fight back and forth with the United States, and this is the geographical advantage brought about by the Soviet Union's huge territory, which is not possessed by the United States, which is in the Americas.

Of course, the huge territory of the Soviet Union will be attacked from all sides once its national strength cannot keep up, which is also a disadvantage. But Alan Wilson couldn't see this disadvantage at all, and he could only see the advantage in front of him, that is, the Soviet Union was strong and had begun to exert its overwhelming geopolitical advantage in Eurasia.

Both the new Prime Minister Attlee and the former Prime Minister's current adviser Winston Churchill are on the same issue on Iran. It is necessary to find a way to let the USSR go, and it must be issued in the form of a communiqué.

Even if all three countries withdraw their troops, it will be beneficial to the British Empire, because Iran, like other countries in the Middle East, still has British capital in the country's oil companies, although the penetration of American capital has become more violent.

Once Iran's foreign troops are withdrawn, it will be of the greatest benefit to Britain in the short term. It is rare for two prime ministers to take a consistent approach on one issue.

In the formal negotiations, Eivor reasoned for a while, persuaded him bitterly, and then again with a tough threat, and finally came up with a trump card to put pressure on the United Nations to be established together with the Americans.

At the Potsdam Conference, the theme of the British Empire was to operate in the dark. Alan Wilson has also been stuck on the Iran issue for several days, and he knows in his heart that the time for the nuclear bomb explosion is getting closer and closer, and he is anxious.

It's not just Alan Wilson who is anxious, Fortseva is not going anywhere easier, and her eagerness in her heart is no better than Alan Wilson.

"If there is no result, we will not talk about it, the United Nations will be established in October, and then the Soviet Union will see how its country is under siege by the countries of the world, and the Americas have long been the backyard of the Americans. Coupled with the fact that Britain and France are leading the countries of Western Europe, the USSR will definitely withdraw its troops. Alan Wilson put down the harsh words, and was already on the verge of tearing his face.

Although negotiating with a beautiful big hairy girl can be said to be a pleasing thing to the eye, Alan Wilson is still very clear about which is more important, the problem of the Mediterranean, after the emergence of the Yugoslav refugee problem, the Soviet Union will inevitably get a naval base from the Mediterranean, bypassing the Dardanelles Strait.

So to trouble the USSR on the issue of travel to the Black Sea, in fact, there was only a theoretical effect, and the USSR would definitely get a naval base from the Balkans. But the Persian Gulf is different, and this is a big problem.

Fltseva was taken aback by Alan Wilson's change of face, and Britain insisted on the Iranian issue more than expected, and said softly, "You want to unite and harm the interests of the Soviet Union." ”

"Iran is an independent country, and now is not the time of the British Empire and Imperial Russia." Alan Wilson said unmoved, "No matter how the Soviet Union wants to intervene in Iran, there is only one final result, a disgraced withdrawal from Iran, and there is no other choice." ”

"You've made me feel bad about you now." Fortseva stroked the ends of her hair and looked at Alan Wilson steadily.

"What?" Alan Wilson raised his hand and said in an exaggerated tone, "We're negotiating secretly on behalf of two countries, right?" Are we here for a blind date? If you give me some cheapness, I can sell the British Empire? ”

Unless he doesn't want to improve, he will definitely not be fooled by Fortseva's beauty.

In the evening, the lights in the rooms of the British and Soviet delegations were lit for a long time, and in fact, although the American delegation seemed to have nothing to do with it, it had been paying attention to the confrontation between Britain and the Soviet Union in the formal negotiations around the Iranian issue.

The apparent neutrality was due to the belief that the British would come out and ask for help.

And this is exactly what Alan Wilson tried to avoid, knowing better than anyone that once the United States was involved, Britain would have no sense of existence. The United States is no less dangerous than the USSR!

Sometimes Alan Wilson thinks that he will just let the Soviet Union annex Iran and see if the United States can still watch the excitement from the sidelines? Can you still hold back?

As long as the Iranian question is settled, the British Empire will have nothing to fight for, this is what Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges personally told Alan Wilson.

"We have communicated privately with the Americans that the Soviet Union will not withdraw its troops once it expires. U.S. troops will be stationed in Iran! Alan Wilson told Fortseva with a straight face, "Don't regret it when the time comes, it was the Soviet Union itself that chosen." ”

There is absolutely no need to communicate privately with the Americans on the Iranian issue, which does not delay Alan Wilson from making a final blackmail attempt.

"Are you really willing to cede benefits to the Americans?" Fortseva asked incredulously.

"Do you give it to you Soviets? Let your Soviet Union liberate the whole world and put these backward peoples on an equal footing with the British Empire? Alan Wilson said indignantly, "No matter how bad Britain is, it can't let the original colonies ride on the head, I see that the third world war is not far away, and I hope we are all alive after the war." ”

There has never been a day when Alan Wilson feels that he will be like Chang Gong, talking about the Third World War and taking this kind of shadowless thing as a life-saving straw, but he can't manage so much when it comes to it.
