Chapter 801: The Death of Churchill VIII
"What? Bread, not war? Aren't we anti-war factions? β
"Stop the war immediately? Isn't this the same as the Labour Party, comrade deputy? Who will vote for us then? β
"Merge with Labour? So do we still want to seize power? Is this an instruction from Moscow? β
The Central Committee members of the British Bolshevik Party who attended the meeting turned out to be honest Bolsheviks, gentry among the Bolsheviks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so they could not understand the spirit of the instructions of the Third International at all.
"Comrades, it's all a strategy!" Ivan. Maisky was a British expert, and he had known for a long time that the British Bolsheviks were honest men - who had allowed the British Empire to develop too well over the past many years? Dishonest people have already made a fortune, who will make a revolution with you?
Although the British capitalist system determines that the distribution of wealth is inevitably unfair, the strong national strength of Britain and the vast fundamentals of the colonies also determine that it is relatively easy to make a fortune. Even if the owner with a bad stomach can't send it locally, he can go overseas to be an "adventurer", as long as he takes a little risk, he has a considerable chance of becoming an anti-G boss.
Therefore, the proletarian revolutionaries who remain in the country to fight against the aristocracy and the big bourgeoisie are not "bad" enough, and they are honest people who are relatively easily deceived. This situation is probably the reason why the British Revolution has not been successful for a long time. It is estimated that Marx and Engels did not think of this problem back then......
"Listen to me, comrades......" Maisky could only patiently teach a group of clumsy English proletarian revolutionaries how to make a revolution.
He said: "The slogan of an immediate cessation of war is necessary for us to take power in Britain, because an immediate cessation of war is a prerequisite for us to disband the reactionary army and at the same time to organize a revolutionary army."
If there is no immediate truce, then the two or three million reactionary troops in Britain will continue to exist and continue to serve the bourgeois regime. When the time comes, Attlee will be able to wipe us out with just one command. β
There were two main reasons why the reactionary army in Britain did not wipe out the Bolshevik Party before: first, the protest marches were in accordance with British law and the rules of political struggle; Second, because the withdrawal of the Labour Party from the government shook the ruling foundation of Churchill's cabinet, and there were also parliamentarians within the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party who opposed Churchill's policies, the wartime cabinet was actually a minority cabinet.
So Qiu Fatzi's orders didn't work in the army, and when the parliamentary elections were over and Attlee's Labour government came to power, the situation was completely different. When the time comes, the Bolshevik Party will try to make a rebellion again, and the reactionary British army will be destroyed in a matter of minutes.
Ivan. Maisky continued: "A temporary alliance with the Workers' Party, controlled by Attlee and other workers' right-wing P, is also necessary for the seizure of power." This was a means of confusing the Labour Party and the Germans, because otherwise we would not be able to take the initiative, otherwise we would not be able to gain precious time to disband the reactionary armies and organise our own Red Army. As long as we have a sufficient number of Red Army, then we will be able to defeat all reactionary forces. β
What Maisky said was almost what the Bolsheviks did in Russia back then, and now if they want to do it again in England, the probability of success is not very great.
But Maisky could not think of a better way, after all, British society was much more stable than Russia in 1917. Moreover, the British Labour Party is now the main peacemaker, and Germany will never support the British Bolsheviks to come to power.
Another major problem of the British Revolution was that the Churchill authorities were quite wary of the Bolshevik Party, and at one point insisted on the suppression of the Bolshevik Party during negotiations with the Labour Party.
In the end, however, the Workers' Party rejected Churchill's demands - and the Workers' Party had the right reasons, the British Bolshevik Party was a legally existing party and deserved the protection of the law!
But Churchill's vigilance would still pose a great threat to the plans of the Bolshevik Party, and Maisky was very worried that Churchill would hand over power to the Labour Party and the Fascist Union early at the moment of crisis. In this way, the insurrection of the Bolshevik Party is likely to be suppressed by the joint forces of reaction!
Fortunately, the Americans came to the aid at this critical moment, handing over half of the arms (mainly small arms) and several food warehouses they had left in London to the workers' pickets controlled by the Bolshevik Party.
Moreover, the U.S. Embassy provided a large sum of money for the revolution. With these American weapons, ammunition, money, and food, the British Bolshevik Party could recruit troops and expand its strength.
But how could their revolutionary actions in the East End, Labour's traditional vote base, be hidden from Attlee's eyes?
"This is dangerous, the Royal Guard should be sent in the bud to nip the Bolshevik conspiracy!"
At Buckingham Palace, Princess Elizabeth's fiancΓ©, Prince Friedrich, who had just taken over the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment of the Royal Guards, made his first public opinion at a meeting on the afternoon of January 13 - because he had taken the oath to the flag at the request of Princess Elizabeth a day earlier, became a British citizen (and subsequently took over the 1st Guards Infantry Regiment), and is now considered a British.
"The situation now is very similar to that of Germany in 1918, and any hesitation poses a great danger!" The prince still remembers the scene when he fled in panic with his family, and he doesn't want to go through it again.
"Prince, it's not that serious." Attlee shook his head and said, "Every move of the Bolshevik Party is under my control...... I would order the army to suppress it in due course, but not now. β
His tone is as if he has already regarded himself as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!
"What's the right time?"
"When the Bolshevik Party is openly in rebellion!" "The use of the military to participate in the country's political struggle is very dangerous and must be used with caution," Attlee said. If they don't jump out and make trouble themselves, then we can't use the military. Your Royal Highness, these are the rules of our British political life! β
"It's dangerous!" Prince Friedrich said, "The Bolshevik Party was very good at exploiting loopholes in the rules, and if we let them succeed, we would lose everything we cherished!" β
Attlee smiled, "Prince, the fate of England will be determined not by how ruthless our methods are, but by Germany!" As long as the Germans could follow the principles of the Cairo Declaration, the conspiracy of the Bolshevik Party would have failed. β
At this time, Prince Friedrich understood that the reason why Attlee kept the British Bolshevik Party was not only to maintain the rules of the game in British domestic politics, but also to use the Bolshevik Party as a bargaining chip to blackmail Germany.
Then Attlee took out a few more photographs, handed them to Prince Friedrich with both hands, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I think you should take a look at these pictures." β
Prince Friedrich took the photograph and immediately showed a surprised expression.
"This is a jet? You guys...... No, it's us who have jets too? β
Prince Friedrich's second brother, also Louis Friedrich. Crown Prince Ferdinand was an aeronautical engineer with his own studio and worked on Junkers' jet design. Thus, Prince Friedrich also had access to the classified German jet project.
"There are jets in Germany too?" Attlee asked tentatively.
"It's already in service!" Prince Friedrich did not hide it, and he asked, "Where is our project?" β
"Test flights are underway, and according to the plan, it will be put into production in the second half of this year." Attlee smiled bitterly, "Churchill is still counting on using this meteor plane to seize air supremacy, but I didn't expect you to have more jet planes......"
"But the value of this meteor is still very large, and there is no doubt that it is a very valuable reference, and we may be able to develop a new jet with Germany."
As he spoke, the prince flipped through the photographs provided by Attlee, which showed other goodies besides the Meteor jet.
For example, the hulls of 3 battleships placed on the slipway - there is a brief introduction at the back of the photo, which are 3 battleships with a standard displacement of 40,550 tons, a full load displacement of 46,400 tons, and three triple 16-inch (406mm) 45 times diameter main guns!
In addition, Prince Friedrich saw photographs of two piston fighters that had never been seen before. There is also a brief description on the back of the photo, which is the Tempest fighter used against the FW-190 and the Fury fighter against the Fokker Zero.
The blurb behind one of the photos also specifically states that the Fury was designed after a forced landing in the United Kingdom on a Fokker Zero......
Obviously, there are still many good things in the British Empire, and if it weren't for the lack of time, they could have held on!
"In addition to these aircraft and battleships, we have a great advantage in the field of radio technology." Attlee said, "One is an advanced radar, better than the German one!" Another radio proximity fuse. Now we and the United States have this fuse on the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns of our and American surface ships, which can pose a greater threat to enemy mechanisms. β
Prince Friedrich nodded, and he smiled and said to Attlee, "I see...... We have a lot of leverage to negotiate with Germany! Because only when Anglo-German unity is truly achieved can the future European Community become the dominant power in the world. β
Attlee smiled and shrugged, "So we don't have to break the rules of British political life for the sake of the Bolshevik Party now...... There's no need for that at all, is there? β
"Yes, it's not necessary at all!" (To be continued.) )
