"You went to the Soviet Union?" Churchill asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Learwin nodded.

"You went to see that guy?" Churchill asked again.

Learvine nodded again.

"Attlee knows?" This is Churchill's third question.

This time Learwin finally spoke up: "Of course he knows! ”

Churchill sighed, rather suddenly, and seemingly inexplicably. But Learvine knew why Churchill sighed. It is both a sigh for the current state of the United Kingdom and a sigh for Attlee.

But soon this sadness was forcefully eliminated by Churchill, and he became the same Churchill as before—cunning and unscrupulous.

"It's time to end it as soon as possible," he said, "but what makes me wonder why the Russian is so talkative?" ”

Learman replied very indifferently: "He is very good at talking when it comes to the Chinese issue, even if he knows that I will let the Labour Party step down early, he doesn't care." ”

Churchill fell into deep thought, after fighting Li Xiaofeng so many times, he knew that this was a rather difficult opponent, and the slightest negligence would be ruthlessly grasped and hit hard by him, and he would never be relentless. Why would such a mercenary opponent make an exception for Huaxia? If it were him, he would not bother to care about the life or death of Huaxia, and the hegemony of a weakened Chinese empire would be advantageous.

If Li Xiaofeng heard Churchill's heart, he would have replied with a smile: "First, Lao Tzu is a Chinese man with red roots, what is it to help his own people?" Secondly, I like the hegemony of the empire very much, but a good man with three gangs, who is willing to help you? In the end, your Yingmei has put too much pressure on Lao Tzu, and after you two lewd bastards merge, if Lao Tzu doesn't find a reliable helper to play with, won't he be killed by you! ”

Li Xiaofeng has always believed that the most important thing is to completely smash and dismantle the international system established by Britain and France over the past 100 years. Because this system is incompatible with the Soviet Union and China, as long as this old system exists, the Soviet Union and China should not want to live a good life. And now, the Soviet Union looks very good and powerful, but to tell the truth, it does not have the ability to destroy this system, rather than resisting alone, it is better to think about how to develop a helper, two countries hand in hand, and it is two superpowers at the top level of the world's territorial area, population, and natural resources, it cannot be worse than Britain and the United States!

To put it bluntly, Churchill couldn't figure this out because as a person who grew up enjoying the dividends of the British Empire, he simply couldn't understand the determination and perseverance of backward countries to regain their prestige. For the sake of this grand goal, the USSR could give up a lot.

Of course, that's a long way off. Continuing back to the conversation between Churchill and Learvin, the old smoker asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"We have to find a way to get the Americans to back down." Learwin replied calmly.

"Are you sure this can be done?" Churchill asked, "After all, you also know that the Soviet Union will never help us openly, and their promise is at best not to hold back." ”

Learwin nodded and said, "I know." But after a pause, she added, "But the Americans don't know." She laughed and said, "I'm afraid someone will fool the Americans into thinking that the Soviet Union will remain neutral." or even secretly biased towards them......"

"But in reality the USSR will be slightly biased towards us?" Churchill said.

"Yes," Learvin nodded, "because they need us to make concessions on the Xiangjiang issue." And I have persuaded Attlee to exchange the Hong Kong question with the Suez question. ”

"And then?" Churchill asked.

"Then I'm going to talk to Nasser first, this man should be able to cooperate with us, and with his cooperation, it will be very difficult for the Americans to launch public opinion attacks on us. And we can also use this to develop a relationship with Nasser, I think he's a smart guy......"

"You think that's enough?" Churchill asked with a frown.

Learwin knew that enough was enough, but in fact he was asking, would he be able to keep the Suez Canal by doing so? And the answer is no, the Americans are getting stronger now, and the ambiguous USSR plus an unreliable Nasser is not enough to offset the strength of the Americans. And Learvin never intended to do so, she believed: "The strong rise of the United States is already the trend of the times, and it is unstoppable." Anyone in the way of the front will be crushed, and I don't want to be crushed, so we can only make concessions. By ceding some of the proceeds of the Suez Canal to them, we will retain our privileges and thus achieve a win-win situation. ”

Churchill smiled rarely, he was very satisfied with Learvin's arrangement, in fact, it was only a matter of changing him. Churchill always believed that there was only one way to safeguard the national interests of the British Empire, and that was to move closer to the United States and sell a large part of the historical gains of the British Empire in exchange for the United States acquiescing in the special relationship between the two countries, so as to achieve the goal of mutual benefit.

Churchill always thought that the last time Attlee went to deal with the Egyptian problem was too stupid, why should he go head-on with the United States, but not only failed to keep Egypt, but also let the Soviet Union take advantage of the fire, a good Yugoslav knot was untied, this problem can be a few more years to the Soviet Union!

In Churchill's view, since Britain no longer has the ability to eat alone, it is necessary to quickly divide some or most of it to win over reliable teammates to maintain the original system that is beneficial to Britain. As long as this system exists, Britain has a chance to make a comeback.

And the stupid Attlee chose to stop the car with his mantis arm, which is really stupid. This time, he was very satisfied with Learvin's approach, and it seemed that the empire's rights and interests in the Suez Canal had suffered losses, but taking the initiative to move closer to the United States would inevitably win the friendship of the United States, which would bring the two countries closer together and lay the foundation for similar mutually beneficial cooperation in the future. At least let the United States not have the strength to completely collapse the British Empire and then sit on the corpse of the British Empire and chew on it.

If this plan succeeds, the British Empire will have a respite and can slowly regain its strength, at least without fear of being trampled into the mud like the overlords who once sat on the throne. Of course, the only flaw in this plan is that it is extremely unfavorable to Attlee, who will not only be responsible for the loss of Xiangjiang, but also carry the black cauldron of losing most of the privileges of the Suez Canal, and I am afraid that he will never turn over.

As long as Churchill remembered that poor Attlee had almost dug a hole for himself, he was a little speechless, some people and women really can't afford to offend!

The negotiations between China and Britain on the Xiangjiang issue were genuinely quite rapid, and the speed of progress was so rapid that the T Communist Party was a little jaw-dropping. Before, they thought that Britain would do everything possible to pass the buck, or offer some incomprehensible and excessive conditions. But in fact, Britain was very generous, and almost obediently returned Xiangjiang's hands.

According to the agreement reached between China and Britain, all previous unequal treaties were abolished, and Britain was to return all of Hong Kong, including the New Territories, to China on July 1, 1957...... The conclusion of this agreement means that the shame of the Chinese nation for a hundred years has finally been washed away, and the whole country is boiling for a while!

While China was in jubilation, Britain was still struggling to negotiate with the United States on the rights to the Suez Canal. The main reason why it is difficult is that the difference in demands between Britain and the United States is a little small. The Americans mean that the British will fuck off, and the Suez Canal will belong to my uncle. And the British idea is that I still have to take the majority of the shares in the Suez Canal, and just give up a small part so that you Americans can make a little money.

Such a big difference naturally led to the difficulty of the negotiations, and the two sides talked for a month or two, almost standing still, until the Americans announced that they would suspend the negotiations if Britain did not make any more major concessions, and the British recognized the reality and had to bow their heads and give in.

According to the final result of the so-called tripartite negotiations between Britain, the United States and Egypt, Britain and the United States each have a 30% stake in the Suez Canal, while Egypt has a 40% stake. In Anglo-American parlance: "This is the optimal distribution with full respect for the Egyptian people." "But we all know that this Nima is, Egypt's 40% stake seems to be more than either the UK or the US, but the 40% stake is not more than half, which means that there is no decision. And the 60% of Britain and the United States combined is far more than half, as long as these two families do not coax each other, the Egyptians have no way at all.

This brutal result also gave Nasser a blow in the face, helping him to recognize the true nature of imperialism, and it may be wishful thinking to count on razing to defeat razor. In the future, if the Suez Canal is to be recovered, it will ultimately be Egypt's own strength that will be needed.

To tell the truth, understanding this is not a loss for Nasser, how many heroes and heroes who have been enslaved by imperialism just can't see through this, so they are always just puppets at the mercy, and understanding this point and making targeted efforts is the right way.

Of course, the distance between knowing and doing is also a moat. Guys like Zhao Kuo who talk on paper have fallen into practice, and Nasser's road to practice is still very long, and it will take at least five to ten years to put it mildly.

Let's go back to Moscow for a moment and see what Li Xiaofeng is up to. At this time, a certain immortal was rarely busy, he was watching Attlee's jokes, with the total failure of his cabinet on the Xiangjiang and Suez Canal issues, his approval rating also fell to an all-time low, and the vast majority of the British people believed that Attlee must step down immediately, and must immediately elect a new leader who can really lead LinkedIn forward. Anyway, this one was miserable by Lierwen, and it is estimated that he will not be able to climb out in this life.

But Yakov expressed concern: "Isn't it better for us to govern Attlee like a pig? If Churchill is allowed to return to power, I am afraid that Britain's foreign policy will make major adjustments, and it will move closer to the United States in an all-round way, which is not good news, right? ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Of course it's not good news. ”

Yakov immediately went crazy: "Then you can still smile and wait to see the joke, why don't we do something?" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "It's useless to do anything." It was only a matter of time before Britain moved closer to the United States, and it turned out to be the case a year earlier and a year later. ”

"That's better to be late than early!" Yakov was in a hurry.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and did not answer Yakov's question, because he could not tell Yakov: "Attlee's opponent is too piggy, and it is not challenging to play at all." It's more urgent and fun to change to Churchill. "This kind of middle two words.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng's hope for Churchill's return was not just for fun, but he felt that Churchill's coming to power would also be beneficial to the Soviet Union. The downside, of course, is that this guy is an old fox, and he is even more difficult to deal with than Attlee. And the advantage is that this old fox is too shrewd, so he will definitely make a big adjustment after he comes to power. It will certainly not allow Britain to maintain its previous foreign policy of grasping at the beard and eyebrows. Qiu Fatzi will make a trade-off for strategic contraction, and will give up a large part of the chassis to curry favor with the United States, in exchange for the United States not to pursue Britain fiercely, so as to protect Britain's core interests.

Such a strategic retrenchment is indeed a pleasure, and only a true politician can do it, which is also a testament to Churchill's greatness. However, there will inevitably be surprises and unexpected situations when any plan is implemented, especially with this kind of comprehensive contraction plan, which will inevitably have problems.

The vacuum created by Britain's drastic contraction is ideally filled by the United States, but who can guarantee that the advance and retreat between Britain and the United States will be tightly matched. And once they don't cooperate properly, the gap in this is enough for the Soviet Union to make trouble.

To tell the truth, Li Xiaofeng is not afraid that the British will not act now, if they all hold on like Attlee before, although it is impossible to avoid the day when they will not be able to hold a full-scale collapse, but before that day comes, the Soviet Union does not have much chance, and can only force the collapse to come early by constantly exerting pressure.

And now, Churchill took the initiative to shrink the strong man's wrist and break his wrist, which was indeed to retreat, but to retreat is to retreat, and this concession gave the Soviet Union the opportunity to intervene. For example, in Southeast Asia and South Asia, for example, in Iran, these regions were already unstable, and the British were struggling to support them, and now that they have withdrawn, can they not let the Soviet Union call fire and rob? What's more, when the British grandsons left, they were still unkind and deliberately planted bombs, and the Soviet Union could have detonated them before Britain and the United States!

It is conceivable that Britain and the United States must have been caught off guard at that time, and could only panic to extinguish the fire, and the more panicked, the easier it is to cause a secondary accident. Hmph, with a certain immortal's ability to make trouble, it is estimated that Yingmei will be exhausted! Anyway, Li Xiaofeng is waiting for this day to come...... (To be continued.) )
