"Once the people of the Polish government-in-exile return to Poland, whether they will go to Siberia to build socialism or not, it is not up to you Soviets, and it will have nothing to do with us at that time." Otherwise, he would not have agreed to exchange Greece for Poland, which Alan Wilson had been instructed by the cabinet secretary and was fully aware of this.

Britain recognized Poland as the Soviet Union, but keeping the Polish government-in-exile in London was like an opposition in the hands of an opponent, which was very different from the Yugoslav question that had just emerged.

The difference is that Poland will certainly be garrisoned by the Soviet Red Army, and the current Yugoslavia is still in the hands of Tito, the leader of the war, a country that is completely in control, and the Soviet Union certainly does not want to have an opposition in the hands of an opponent.

And Yugoslavia was now a suspicious ally for the Soviet Union, which had opposition to such a country and could only rely on itself to maintain security and be happy to see it.

"Even so, Mr. Allen, don't you think that the sincerity of the British side is still insufficient?" Fortseva was not deceived by Alan Wilson's words, as long as it was a country, the words are all the same, and asked rhetorically, "The war against Japan is the most desired thing for the United States, and Britain is willing to help, and even put the Polish government-in-exile at the negotiating table for this reason, why?" ”

Unexpectedly, he had already offered to let the Poles go to Siberia to grow potatoes, but he still couldn't impress the woman in front of him.

Still the lion is opening his mouth? Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, he still underestimated the greed of the Soviets, and asked rhetorically, "Ms. Fortseva, what else does the Soviet Union have to ask for?" ”

"We expect to receive compensation from the German fleet, otherwise our Soviet Union does not have the capacity to land at sea, this request is not too much, right? Japan is an island nation, isn't it? Fortseva looked at Alan Wilson and didn't feel like she was asking too much.

"The German fleet went to fight in Japan? This reminds me of the Russo-Japanese War, did the Soviet Union want to go through a two-hundred-and-twenty-day voyage and then land in Japan? I'll be honest, by the time the USSR arrived in Japan, Japan had already surrendered. From what I know about the Americans, the Americans, with their superiority in the navy and air force, will not give the Soviet Union even a single square meter of land at that time. Alan Wilson analyzed unhurriedly, "And the Soviet Union has no possibility of countermeasures, the navy is too weak." ”

"Don't look at me with suspicion, Truman has just come to power, and he desperately needs to make a difference, and it is true that he is now turning to the Soviet Union for help, and once he feels that he does not need the help of the Soviet Union and turns his face, it is also true. For example, a person who has just come to power, or who succeeds to the president as vice president, but lacks prestige himself, behaves in a way that is completely unpredictable. As you know, Ms. Fortseva, the US Secretary of State did not show up for this important meeting. ”

"Actually, on June 27, the former secretary of state was just transferred, and it was only a matter of a few days. The fact that the new secretary of state will take office, but Truman can't wait to come to Berlin, doesn't that prove that he desperately needs to accumulate honor? ”

At this time, Alan Wilson doesn't care about the special relationship between Britain and the United States, as long as he can give the British Empire a chance to breathe, he cares about the United States to die? Anyway, the continental United States has not been damaged by the war, and the big family and business can fully bear the calculation.

Alan Wilson, who claimed that I didn't speak a word of Russian, babbled on and on at Fortseva, who at first parried over, but in the blink of an eye it was noon.

Alan Wilson, who had eaten a little, seemed to replenish a little physical strength, but Fortseva found that the whole process of negotiations had just begun. In order for the Soviet Union to agree to start a war against Japan immediately, Alan Wilson can be said to have sold the United States outright.

Before coming, Edward Bridges also gave Alan Wilson a certain degree of authorization. For example, the Soviets could be promised to use Britain's maritime power in Asia to complete the landing operation.

In fact, even so, Edward Bridges felt that the Soviets would not necessarily agree to the betrayal of the Polish government-in-exile, because after all, this was a war that cost lives, not a child's house, and the war was to kill people.

It is indeed not very promising to let the Soviets carry out a landing war that the Soviets are not good at in the first place.

On the evening of June 29, in the Sekilynhof Palace, Alan Wilson reported in a moderate voice the process of today's black-box operation.

Almost at the same time, Fortseva did the same thing as Alan Wilson, reporting to Stalin himself, and referring to Alan Wilson's energetic chatter throughout the whole process after noon today.

When he heard that Britain was ready to offer a Polish government-in-exile as a condition, Stalin was noncommittal.

Hearing the suspicion of the massacre of the Katyn Poles, the corners of Stalin's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt in his heart that the follow-up work of this matter still had to be dealt with, and no evidence could be left in the world and made a fuss by the enemy.

When he heard the British offer that the Yugoslavs could be repatriated, Stalin finally couldn't help laughing, he didn't want the opposition to return to Yugoslavia at all, and asked, "What other interesting suggestions, take your time, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Okay, Comrade Stalin, this man really said a lot of things, and I will definitely report it in full." As she recalled, Fortseva began to repeat the high-energy conversation that had been going on from noon.

"Among the world's great powers, only the United States has not been damaged at all, and the United States now has strong economic and military power." With Fortseva's words, Stalin made a gesture of listening, judging in his mind the truth of these words.

"The United States can use its huge economic power to dominate the reconstruction of Europe, which neither other countries nor Britain and France have the ability to resist, and economic reconstruction will inevitably bring military and political influence, although this is only a hypothesis, but it is not what the Soviet Union wants to see."

"The Soviet Union should not hope that Britain and France will be too weak, and once Britain and France are so weak that they have no ability to resist in the face of the United States, and end up in a subordinate position, whether Britain and France are willing or unwilling in the end, they will inevitably eventually become part of the blockade of the Soviet Union."

It's very likely! Although it was only a hypothesis, Stalin was ostensibly impassive, but approved of such an idea.

"Comrade Stalin, before leaving, he said that the United States has an unprecedented weapon that has reached its final stage, and if the Soviet Union does not react now, when this weapon is successfully developed, the Soviet Union will lose all bargaining capital, which in my opinion is blackmail," Fortseva concluded. ”

Stalin's gaze froze, and a pin drop could be heard in the room, and just when Fortseva was a little uneasy, she finally heard Stalin's command, "Everything today is always a secret, Comrade Fortseva." ”
