Stalin knew very well what the Manhattan Project had progressed in the United States, and the news from the British side could only be said to be a corroboration and did not need to be verified, because this matter was too important.

As important as soon as Fortseva mentioned it, Stalin believed that the British side had already shown sincerity, and since it was a black-box operation, there were naturally many aspects that were different from the formal negotiations.

Of course, Stalin will not be polite to ask for support, since it is the Americans who take the initiative to ask for it, it is simply sorry for the good opportunity in front of him to ask for more.

In another room, Alan Wilson was reporting his results to Edward Bridges with a fluttering eyebrow, and there was nothing to hide except for the last big killer. The sale of any interests had already been decided, and he was nothing more than a tool man who informed the Soviet Union on behalf of Britain.

"I told the Soviets that the Americans just can't make up their minds yet, and once the Soviet Union can't express its sincerity, with the current strength of the United States, it's not that it can't fight independently."

Edward Bridges nodded and said slowly, "Ivor said in today's briefing that the Soviets had softened their tone and mentioned the idea that they wanted to give the German merchant fleet to the Soviets as collateral. ”

"Then we can't agree on how long it will take to get from Europe to the Far East, whether it's the Royal Navy or the U.S. Navy, you can transport Soviet troops nearby." Alan Wilson said without thinking.

"The Americans have already said that they will think carefully." Edward Bridges shattered Alan Wilson's illusions, "It seems that this matter should be about the same, I believe that in the exchange of leaders of the three countries, Truman also promised Stalin something." ”

The new world hegemon is still a little immature, and may have just moved from the Americas to the world stage, and is not yet adapted to the new role.

Whoever let Truman, the president of the United States, just come out of the novice village and have no experienced secretary of state by his side, this is his own choice.

Edward Bridges had already judged what the problem was, but since it was the Americans' problem, it was difficult for him to say anything, otherwise it would be interference in the internal affairs of the Americans.

"In general, you have fulfilled your task, the conditions agreed are all within the permission, and you will meet with the Soviets again tomorrow. Now the whole world is waiting for this meeting to come up with the first consensus. Edward Bridges stopped talking nonsense and praised Alan Wilson, "Whether it is a formal negotiation or a behind-the-scenes operation, there is an agreement on both sides, which is the basis for reaching consensus." ”

The meaning of the cabinet secretary, according to Alan Wilson's understanding, translates to that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and the comrades still need to work hard. It's just not known if tomorrow the Soviets will give the desired result.

In the formal negotiations, the British delegation fully practiced the special relationship between Britain and the United States, put pressure from the perspective of the Americans, and expressed the common hatred and resentment of Britain and the United States on the issue of war against Japan.

At the meeting, Eiffor strongly refuted the Soviet Union's claim that it had a neutrality treaty with Japan, "In the past, Germany also signed a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union, which did not delay the final German surprise attack on the Soviet Union, and Britain and the United States hoped that the Soviet Union would realize its original mistake and not pin its hopes on Japan." ”

This statement shocked everyone and won the approval of the Americans, and it seemed that for a time the glorious era of the British Empire had returned.

"That person at Ivor is not tough on any country except for the French, it's just acting for the Americans, what can we do? Now Britain still owes the Americans. When he met with Fortseva the next day, Alan Wilson said that everything was a misunderstanding, and that he was chilling in order to make money.

After expressing his apologies again, Alan Wilson changed his words and said, "The Americans have not relented and are willing to mortgage German commercial transport ships to the Soviet Union." Yesterday Eivor also proposed to be willing to coordinate, the British Empire's naval forces in the Far East to help the Soviet Union complete the landing plan, of course, all counting on our two countries, you Soviets may not be at ease, but I believe that the Soviet Union does not have no sea power in the Far East, the Japanese Navy now only exists on paper, whether it can go to sea is unknown. ”

To put it mildly, Alan Wilson has already thought about the remaining warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, to see if he can occupy a little more share in the reparations, even if the British Royal Navy itself does not need it, the monopoly is also possible, and the empire that the sun never sets to this day must learn to live a careful life.

"It's hard to imagine that the British Empire has such flexibility in looking at things." Fortseva's words implicit irony, referring to the two faces of the British, both formal negotiations and covert operations.

"This is exactly how the British Empire has survived for three hundred years, and this is not a bad thing, and you can't put all your eggs in one basket." Alan Wilson completely regarded Fortseva's words as a compliment, as long as the purpose was achieved, and he had the heart to listen to some disobedient people.

"The British side deployed forces from the Far East to cooperate with the Soviet landing, I wonder if it will be in time?" Fortseva asked one last question, hoping that Alan Wilson would give him assurance.

"It's not a problem, British power in Asia is under the jurisdiction of General Mountbatten. I happen to be the liaison officer to British India. Alan Wilson said that everything was on him, and this matter was not a problem.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't dare to make this guarantee, but if this person was Mountbatten, Mountbatten's greatest wish was to kill Tokyo and let Japan fall into the same fate as Germany.

In the black-box operation, Alan Wilson said that Britain promised to let the Polish government-in-exile in London get out, and how to deal with it was a matter for the Soviet Union. During the formal negotiations, after bargaining, the British and American delegations expressed their willingness to hand over German commercial transports to the Soviet Union as part of reparations.

The question of war against Japan had already seen the light of day, and in the end, when Stalin held a summit meeting with Truman and Churchill, he said that as long as the conditions agreed by Britain and the United States were met, the Soviet Union could attack Japan and end the war.

On the evening of June 30, the first consensus on the Potsdam Conference was officially released, but the details were slightly different. Compared with the clear attitude of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union's statement was actually very skillful, not only recognizing the war against Japan, but also not talking to death.

In contrast to the British and American reports, the Soviet Union's statement deliberately removed the clause of unconditional surrender.

But on the surface, this is also the British and American delegation, especially the British delegation played a huge role in it, of course, it is worth celebrating, Ivor has become the star of the British delegation, full of ambition, seeing Alan Wilson happily greeted, "Allen, what have you been doing in the past two days, you don't know my wonderful performance in the negotiations." ”

"I've heard that the glorious era is back." Alan Wilson was amazed.
