"What did Roosevelt mean? What does he want to do? ”

Confused by this proposal of the Americans, Stalin asked Dimitrov, the leader of the Third International, who was standing in his office ready to be disciplined (because the British Bolshevik Party was led by the Third International), "Is he really not our comrade?" ”

"Who? Who do you say? "Dimitrov didn't seem to understand Stalin's question. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Roosevelt, of course!" Stalin asked, "He really didn't join the American Bolshevik Party?" ”

Dimitrov thought carefully and earnestly, then shook his head and said: "Comrade General Secretary, as far as I know, Roosevelt was not our comrade. But he may be our fellow revolutionary ......"

Stalin waved his hand, "Since it's not, it must be a conspiracy!" ”

"Yes, you're right, there must be a conspiracy." Dimitrov hurriedly followed Stalin's words - because of the bad situation on the battlefield recently, Stalin was in a very bad mood, and he always suspected that someone was against him, so it was better to be obedient at this time.

"What kind of conspiracy is that? Comrade Dimitrov, tell me, what did Roosevelt want to do? ”

"He wanted to ......," Dimitrov thought with a frown, and finally came up with a reason, "he must have wanted to sabotage our peace talks with the Germans." ”

"Will it?" Stalin shook his head, "This will only give us one more big card in negotiations with the Germans!" We don't need the victory of the British Revolution, we just need Britain to enter a state of civil war, then we have one more big card in our hands. And what do we have to lose? ”

Stalin's eyes were on Molotov, "Did the Americans put forward any conditions?" ”

"The United States only hoped that Britain would hold out on to resistance," Molotov said, "and that they would be willing to cooperate with all forces that really wanted to resist the German invasion by providing them with weapons, ammunition, and money......

"Weapons, ammunition and funds?" Stalin immediately grasped the point, "What do you mean?" ”

"The Americans say their troops will be forced to retreat from the Isles of Britain, but they can leave their weapons and ammunition for the political factions that are really willing to fight the Germans," Molotov said...... It doesn't matter what their political beliefs are, and it doesn't matter whether they will win in the end. ”

In other words, as long as the British Isles can be messed up, the Americans will not care who they are cooperating with, and no matter how many crimes the British people will suffer for it!

"Hehe," Stalin sneered, "what a staunch ally of the British!" ”

"Comrade General Secretary, the Americans want to take advantage of us." Molotov had already figured out some questions by this time, "but for us, it seems that there will be nothing to lose." ”

"There's nothing to lose!" Stalin gritted his teeth, "But we should still be careful of these capitalists who can sell their flesh and blood brothers for profit!" ”

In Stalin's view, the United States, whose mother tongue was English and was born out of the British colonies in North America, was Britain's own brother. By doing this now, the Americans are undoubtedly pushing their own brothers into the fire pit.

In such a country that does not even care about its own brothers, whoever forms an alliance with it must be extremely cautious.

"Comrade General Secretary," Dimitrov asked, "we will work with the United States...... Help the British Revolution? ”

"Of course!" Stalin nodded heavily, "We won't have anything to lose anyway...... Send a telegram to Comrade Maisky and Comrade Pollitt telling them that the British Revolution and the British Resistance are interdependent, and that the victory of the resistance is possible only if the revolution is victorious. Because the struggle against the German invasion will be a people's war, it is necessary to mobilize the masses to the maximum extent possible, and at the same time to unite all the forces that can be united, and strive to build a united front of the people against Germany with the broadest possible base!

In addition, before the establishment of the anti-German people's united front, the first task to be accomplished was to overthrow the reactionary Churchill government, which posed the greatest threat to the people's war against Germany. In order to achieve this goal, it is also necessary to build a united front and cooperate with all forces opposing the Churchill regime...... Even if they are future enemies. The United States is a country that can be trusted and cooperated, and it should be trusted as much as the Soviet Union was trusted.

At the same time, during and after the overthrow of the Churchill regime, it was also necessary to do everything possible to build up armed forces belonging to the Bolshevik Party. The building up of armed forces is a prerequisite for the success of all struggles. ”

……

"Mr. Prime Minister, the Americans are retreating, they have taken control of the King's Cross railway station and have also paid off the managers of the Union of Railway Workers and the railway company for a large sum of money......"

Inside the wartime cabinet bunker beneath King Charles Street, Churchill was listening to a report from Viscount Brooke at noon on January 13.

Early that morning, Eisenhower reported to him the final decision of the US government: to retreat from the British Isles! However, the 2nd Panzer Division, currently operating in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, will be the last to leave, and will continue to fight alongside the British until they leave.

In addition, the U.S. military will leave most of their weapons to the British, and the weapons currently arriving in Iceland will continue to be shipped by destroyer to ports in the north of Scotland to support the British resistance.

If Britain is willing to continue to resist in the future, the United States will provide more military aid!

In short, there is a little bit of benevolence and righteousness.

"Sir, I don't want to hear this......," Churchill exhaled his smoke, "to say something useful, how are the Hartlepool and Middlesbrough fronts?" Can the troops still fight? ”

This question may sound inconsequential, but it's actually a key one.

Because of the lack of support on the part of the United States and the large number of protesters, Churchill also had to change his stance of resolute repression (and no one was willing to help him suppress it) and instead find a way out through negotiations.

And the outcome of the negotiations is nothing more than a democratic process. This is Britain, hundreds of years of constitutionalism have been done, and the majority vote is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The British people did not understand the number of ways out of the barrel of the gun.

According to the procedure, Churchill should ask King George VI in Canada to approve the dissolution of parliament and re-election - if the Conservatives and Liberals lose and the Labour win, then Attlee will become prime minister, and it will be Attlee's decision to resist or surrender.

Of course, he could also not dissolve parliament and directly ask the Labour Party to put forward a no-confidence motion, but the fat man is not going to give up yet. So now Churchill has sent a telegram to the king to dissolve Parliament, and it is estimated that it will be approved soon.

Until the end of the parliamentary elections, Churchill was the caretaker prime minister. As a caretaker prime minister, it is customary to avoid making major decisions. But what has been decided before, can still be implemented.

In other words, the Battle of Hartlepool-Middlesbrough can continue!

And the victory or defeat of this battle is also directly related to the outcome of the parliamentary election.

If the British army is defeated, then the Labour Party and the fascist coalition of the main peace will win without any suspense.

If the British win, then the Conservatives and Liberals will have a fight. So Churchill put forward a request for the parliamentary elections to be set for January 30 during the negotiations...... This demand was supported by the Labour Party, which also wanted to hold a general election after the Battle of Hartlepool-Middlesbrough, and if it won, the future Labour government would have more leverage in negotiations with the Germans.

"The morale of the troops is a bit low, but so far the offensive has been maintained." Viscount Brooke replied with a bitter face.

Churchill nodded, and then asked, "Can planes fly now?" ”

"No," replied Viscount Brooke, "there are still ...... in Hartlepool and the Middlesbrough area."

"No, I'm not asking that." Churchill immediately interrupted him, "I'm asking if the plane to the New World can fly?" ”

It turned out that the old fat man still wanted to run away - as Attlee said before, as long as his Conservative Party lost the parliamentary election, then he would be free and would be able to flee to Canada.

Moreover, Qiu Fatzi has already arranged a retreat for himself, and there are many soldiers and politicians who support him in Canada. The reason why he was so embarrassed by the Bolshevik Party and the Labour Party this time was also the reason why he sent many of his supporters to Canada.

If the old fat man can still reach Canada with dignity, it is impossible to become prime minister again, but it is no problem to be a behind-the-scenes boss in Canadian politics.

"No problem," replied Viscount Brooke, "there are 2 converted 'Sunderland' seaplanes on standby on the Thames. Additional fuel tanks were installed on the plane, enough to fly to Newfoundland. ”

"Great." Churchill nodded. "Viscount, when the time comes, let's go together, go to Canada, go to the king, Canada needs us, without us, there will be at the mercy of Roosevelt, a liar!"

……

In London's East End, while Churchill and Viscount Brooke were discussing fleeing to Canada after losing the election, an important meeting of the Bolshevik Party was taking place in a long-closed factory.

The meeting was attended by the Central Y of the British Bolshevik Party, as well as Ivan Brown, who had just become the representative of the Third International in Britain. Maisky.

The meeting, of course, discussed how to seize power!

The first armed uprising of the workers in London, led by the Bolshevik Party a few days earlier, did not succeed because of the betrayal of the traitor Labour, but it was not a complete failure either.

According to the agreement reached between the two parties (the Labour Party and the Churchill government), the workers' armed forces in London will not be disbanded until the results of the parliamentary elections are announced, martial law will be lifted, and the regular army (including the regular militia) stationed in London will not be allowed to leave the barracks except for the protection of some necessary targets.

"Comrades," said the representative of the Third International, Ivan Brown. "On the instructions of the Third International, we will hold an armed uprising in London after the defeat at the Battle of Hartlepool-Middlesburg," Maisky said at the conference. In the uprising, we will take power under the banners of 'Bread, not war', 'Stop the war immediately' and 'Hold parliamentary elections immediately'! After the successful ouster of the Churchill government, we will also invite the British Labour Party to form a temporary caretaker government, and put forward a request to merge with the Labour Party to form the British Social Democratic Workers' Party.
