It stands to reason that the United States and the Soviet Union have joined hands to make this trick very shameless to the British, and the British should blow up the thorns, and the British can jump out and say: "I do not recognize this verdict, and I resolutely oppose this verdict!" "But the fact is that the British didn't do it, and why?

Quite simply, although all the crew members of the Harvest were sentenced, most of the ordinary sailors, except for the officers, were handed over to the United States after the sentence was pronounced, and the United States enforced their sentences. In other words, this group of people will go to the United States to serve their sentences. The reason for this is that the prison facilities in Iceland are too poor to be held in good condition.

Of course, this is a very nonsense reason, and the real reason is that after arriving in the United States, they are quickly sent back to Canada, and these British sinners can serve their sentences on Commonwealth soil as long as the British express their acceptance of the sentence.

As for whether these people have regained their personal freedom just after entering Canada, the Americans said that I was not interested in knowing, while the Soviets said that everything was left to the United States, and it was inconvenient for me to intervene, and as for Iceland, they would say that we had punished the prisoners in the most appropriate way, which was a great victory.

As for Churchill, he can also give an explanation, he can say to the upper and lower houses: "I have rescued the children!" ”

Of course, this is an ordinary criminal, in order to prevent the British from playing tricks, the officers of the Harvest have not been deported to the United States, these people have to stay in the Icelandic prison honestly, if they are all let go, what will they do to force the British to comply?

Anyway, the officers led by Mitchell are probably going to live in Icelandic prisons for a long time, and when Britain and Iceland need to make political deals in the future, they will be used as bargaining chips on the negotiating table, and I have to say that they are really a bunch of poor worms.

Of course, this matter is not over, Churchill is also an old fox, he neither accepted nor opposed the verdict, anyway, it was just hanging there, as for the released crew, he took it out as his own political merit. Anyway, the whole farce continues, and there is a potential conflict between Britain and Iceland, but for the time being, the British dare not make a mistake. Once the time is ripe, the British will certainly continue to make a fuss about this issue.

Anyway, that's what Churchill thought, but what he didn't expect was that what the United States and the Soviet Union did next made him sick to the point of home. It stands to reason that Iceland's dispute has almost been "mediated", and the joint tribunal composed of the United States, the Soviet Union and Iceland can be dissolved. But what Churchill did not expect was that the tribunal was not dissolved, and the United States and the Soviet Union confirmed it as a system through a joint communiqué.

This is the so-called "ad hoc arbitral tribunal for international disputes", which is dedicated to the settlement of international disputes pending the establishment of international organizations established by new internationally binding treaties, with the aim of settling disputes by peaceful means and preventing the civilized world from relapsing into violent conflict.

Moreover, this "ad hoc arbitration tribunal for international disputes" also declares that any state or international organization may appeal to the tribunal any matter that needs to be arbitrated, and that the tribunal will certainly adopt a fair, impartial, and open attitude to hear all arbitration matters, and hopes that all countries and international organizations in the civilized world will respect the authority of the tribunal until a new international affairs adjudication body or organization is established that is accepted by the new and wide world.

Of course, these are actually nonsense, because any fairness, justice, and openness are all deceptives, and any international organization is an institution for international interest groups to conduct transactions, and this kind of transaction is really not so high-sounding.

Therefore, when the United States and the Soviet Union announced that they would set up such an arbitration tribunal, the whole world must first pay attention to one question: what forces will this tribunal consist of, and will they be able to get a piece of the pie?

However, in this regard, the United States and the Soviet Union were too domineering, and directly announced that the arbitral tribunal would be composed of 12 justices, of which the United States and the Soviet Union, as founding members, each enjoyed three seats, and the remaining six seats would be produced in countries with extensive international influence and credibility.

So how should these six seats be distributed? According to the agreement reached between the United States and the Soviet Union, Britain will be divided into two seats, France and China will each be divided into two seats, and this total of ten seats will be fixed, which means that unless you are destroyed or voluntarily withdraw from the country, you will enjoy it permanently, and the remaining two seats will be elected.

This approach seems to be very fair, the United States and the Soviet Union are two powers, each occupying three seats and no one dares to speak, and the fact that Britain has one less seat also reflects the fact that the international status of the British Empire has declined. The rest of France and China should hold the back of their heads and rejoice if they can occupy a seat.

At least for Churchill, although it is a bit faceless to do this, but the situation is stronger than people, and two seats are better than nothing, right, now that the United States and the Soviet Union have discussed it, his opposition has no effect. Moreover, the British secretly calculated that his two votes plus one vote from France are three votes, and then counting the three votes of the United States, that is more than half of the votes, and even the two seats elected in the back may also fall into the hands of Western European countries, so that the Soviet Union will be properly isolated and beaten, and even as long as the British properly pull up enough votes, it is expected to embarrass the Americans.

I have to say that Churchill really thought too beautifully, and the United States and the Soviet Union were not stupid, how could they not think of this possibility, how could they leave a back door for Britain to drill. Therefore, in terms of voting rules, the United States and the Soviet Union played hooliganism, and when we vote, we are not completely a minority obeying the majority, and any ruling must be approved by more than three-quarters (excluding three-quarters) of the majority to be valid. In other words, at least ten votes must be in favor of any ruling. And this is to take the life of the British, if the United States and the Soviet Union do not bird him, they will be denied by three votes, and if he wants to deny the United States and the Soviet Union, he must at least fight for one vote, don't underestimate this vote, sometimes this vote can kill the British. In order to defeat a ruling against the British Empire, the British would have to fight hard for the vote, and at no cost? And unlike what the British had hoped, the two elected seats did not fall into the hands of his little buddies at all, one vote was occupied by the Philippines, and the other went to Norway.

Blind people can see that the Philippines is the lackey of the United States, and Norway is the younger brother of the Soviet Union, these two can give the British Empire a good face? So Churchill was so angry that he slapped the table and wanted to wave his hand to announce a boycott of this arbitral tribunal, but now it is different from the past, and all the friends he used to shout at in Europe have become ruined, and he has little say at all. And now no one can see that the boss of the world in the future is the United States and the Soviet Union, and these two powers decide the matter, and you can be allowed to contradict each other. As the saying goes, the arms can't twist the thighs, and this group of broken households soon abandoned Britain and threw themselves into the arms of American imperialism, expressing their hope for the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to this institution.

Churchill was annoyed by his brother's betrayal, but he was not one to give in easily, and he immediately contacted the French National Liberation Council, hoping to pull de Gaulle with him to boycott the arbitral tribunal. In his opinion, although France is lame, the residual power is still there, and if France and Britain advance and retreat together, this arbitral tribunal is really not interesting.

However, de Gaulle's reaction poured cold water on Churchill's head, and the French expressed their willingness to join the international arbitration tribunal and look forward to playing an active role. In this way, Churchill and the British Empire really became alone, and when he was still hesitating, the Soviet Union immediately said that it would not matter if Britain did not join, and the status originally assigned to Britain was also elected, anyway, aren't you British uncommon? There are few people in this world!

Churchill knew that this was the trend of the times, and it was useless to resist, and if he really resisted, he would be isolated. This was not the most glorious time of the British Empire in the nineteenth century, when you could play glorious isolation, but now you really don't have the capital or the confidence to play like this.

The British reluctantly joined the ad hoc tribunal for international arbitration, and although the tribunal did not immediately embarrass the British Empire, the whole world saw the British Empire bow down. This scene made everyone realize that the sun had set in the British Empire.

For a time, Churchill was fiercely criticized by the upper and lower houses, and the parliamentarians strongly condemned his speculative political decisions, believing that he had caused the British Empire to lose face. For a while, Churchill's life was quite sad, and the old smoker knew that he had lost too many points this time, although he could not threaten his position as wartime prime minister for the time being, but it was difficult to say whether it would be true for his political career after the victory of the war in the future.

"The Labour Party is concentrating their fire on me," Churchill said slowly to Learvin, "and they think you and I have screwed it all up." ”

When Learwin was called to 10 Downing Street by the old prime minister, it probably didn't feel so good. The storm of this incident is indeed too great, and as the person directly responsible for all this, she is probably to blame. So when she walked into the prime minister's office, she was mentally prepared to be dismissed. But to Learvin's surprise, Churchill did not do so.

"These rat-eyed idiots," Churchill suddenly raised his voice, scolding the Labour Party: "Do they think that without the Harvest incident, our country would be as comfortable as it used to be?" Stupid, the Americans and Russians are already sharpening their knives, the harvest is just an excuse, without the harvest there may be a bad harvest, if we don't take the initiative to attack, they will also hit the door! It's politics! And they don't understand at all! ”

With a sigh of relief, Churchill calmed down and continued: "They demand that I hold you accountable, that I should be fired and imprisoned, do these idiots think that I am the kind of person who abandons the pawn and protects the car? Ma'am, I know you're one of the few sober people in this country, and we need more sober people than a bunch of muddles, so I'm telling you, go the extra mile and go to work! I have complete trust in you! Forget all the insults and attacks, and use all your power to help me and help the empire out of the trough! ”

This statement touched Learvin, and to tell the truth, since working under Churchill, the feeling of being constrained at every turn in the first half of her life has basically disappeared. Not to mention that she can do whatever she wants, at least she can do it freely. Anyway, in the past two years, Lierwin has been very happy. The only thing that made her feel depressed and ashamed was that her work did not achieve the expected results, and she failed to reverse her previous passivity, but was always made bloody by Li Xiaofeng, and to be honest, Li Erwen felt a little untrustworthy in Churchill.

Especially now, in the face of such unprecedented pressure, Churchill still chose to protect her and speak for her, which made the female spy a little moved.

The scene is warm, if it were the British, I am afraid they would be moved by the persistence of this pair of men and women, and hate the great demon Wang immortal. It's a pity that this is just the opinion of the British, there are too many countries and individuals in this world who hate the British, the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets has pulled countless hatreds for it, there are many more people who hope that the British are unlucky than they wish them good luck, if possible, countless people hope that Britain will fall, and then they can receive the territory and dividends left by the British Empire, how cool it is!

So the road ahead of Learvin and Churchill is likely to be extremely difficult, and there seems to be no hope in sight, and even without the Soviet Union, the shadow of the United States can suffocate them.

The Harvest incident is the end, and this small incident has actually heralded the dawn of the post-imperialist era. With the old imperialism falling from the altar and the new forces flourishing, there are countless opportunities and of course countless challenges.

After Li Xiaofeng returned to Moscow, he was subjected to the . A warm welcome from the Central Committee, one piece in the ****** in. The Central Committee's seemingly intractable problem was so easily solved, and the national interests of the Soviet Union were not only not damaged but improved. The Central Committee members were extremely impressed, and in comparison, Sverdlov, who danced happily before, paled in comparison, comparing goods and throwing them, and people would be angry to death compared to people!

Sverdlov was naturally quite angry, but what made him very irritable was that the object of his anger turned out to be himself, he hated himself for not holding his position at the critical moment, hated himself for being intimidated by the threat of the United States, and when so many hateful targets were directed at himself, Sverdlov could imagine how bad his mood was.

And what is worse is that the blows are coming one after another, just when the harvest incident has just come to an end, bad news came from the Huaxia side - the T has won a complete victory in the second Handan Campaign, the Eighth Route Army killed and wounded more than 60,000 devils in the first battle, in addition to more than 30,000 devils captured, only more than 20,000 devils broke through the encirclement at the last moment and escaped. A group of high-ranking officers of the devils, including Okamura Ninji, became prisoners of war of the Eighth Route Army, and only Tanaka Kuichi escaped in the chaos.

This battle can be said to be the largest victory in China since the Anti-Japanese War, this time the devils died at least more than 20,000 people, to be honest, the Chinese battlefield really has not killed so many devil soldiers in a single battle. So much so that when the Americans heard the news, they expressed disbelief, and Jiang was so angry that he lost his temper for three days.

Please note that this was only the result of the Second Battle of Handan, and in the direction of Shandong, the New Fourth Army led by General Su also made persistent efforts to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, annihilating a Japanese brigade and regiment by taking chestnuts from fire and grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, and thwarting the Japanese army's plan to reinforce Handan from Shandong.

These two huge victories not only caused the shame of the previous Battle of Yuxianggui, but also made foreigners, especially Americans, see that Huaxia can also fight and fight hard, which makes Americans have to look up at Huaxia. Of course, what is particularly important is to make the Americans understand the essence of the Scraping People's Party, and they can put a final conclusion on the Scraping People's Party -- it is not that the Chinese people cannot fight, but that the Scraping People's Party is corrupt and incompetent!

This conclusion makes Jiang quite stressed, because the Americans will think that the fundamental reason why his scraping army behaves so poorly is that his ability is not good, and he cannot reach the level of being a caring godson to the American godfather. Although this will not make the United States fall to the side of the Communists, it will make the Americans begin to consider finding a capable person who can replace Chiang's role to lead the army.

In the small book of the Americans, there are many lists of spare tires recorded, such as Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and almost Wang Longyun of Yunnan.

Under this huge pressure, Jiang could only show the combat effectiveness of the scraping army, and ordered the expeditionary force to fight fiercely in Yunnan, open up the communication line as soon as possible, and completely eliminate the eighteenth division of the devils.

Under the strict order of Jiang someone, the scraping army attached great importance to it this time, and really took out all the strength to eat milk, especially those high-ranking officers, who finally put down the shackles and could really have a good fight with the devil.

After a vicious battle, although the losses of the scraping army were amazing, it was indeed much more powerful than the performance in history, not only opened up the communication line, but even one had already killed Yunnan and went straight to Vietnam, driving the devil to only hate and lose two legs.

And this made the Americans a little satisfied, and even Roosevelt couldn't help but feel that the decision he had made before was wise, and let the T Republic and the Soviet Union put pressure on the Kuomintang, which was stronger than the United States personally going into battle to say that it was better than saying that it was true, as long as this external pressure could be maintained for a long time, Jiang must be obedient. This fully shows that the decision to divide China equally with the Soviet Union is completely correct.

By October 1944, the all-out counteroffensive of the World Anti-Fascist War had reached its climax. In the northeast of China, the Kwantung Army retreated step by step under the blows of the Soviet Red Army and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and retreated towards the big cities. In North China, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army basically recovered this piece of homeland, and in the southwest, the scraping army finally opened up the communication line. The only regret is Central China and South China, because the soup ran too hard before, and this pit could not be filled.

In Poland, Rokossovsky and Zhukov were like two sharp knives plunged into the heart of Poland, and the armored clusters crushed the remnants of the German army at high speed, pushing from the Warsaw line to Poznan, and it was not far from the German homeland.

Under the powerful blows of Rokossovsky and Zhukov, the German army had to start a new round of contraction and demolition of the eastern wall to make up for the western wall, and a large number of troops were drawn from the direction of East Prussia to begin to fill the Polish pit. Taking advantage of the further weakening of Army Group North, the Baltic Front, with the cooperation of the Jewish Legion, began a counteroffensive and moved closer along the coastline towards the German mainland.

In the south, Vasilevsky and Tolbukhin had easily taken out Slovakia, and were now pressing heavily into the Czechs and were advancing towards Prague. As for Konev, he also ran high, crushed Hungary, and then entered Austria, and at this time surrounded Vienna. Anyway, it is estimated that it is a matter of time before Austria and the Czech Republic are resolved.

On the Western Front, when the Anglo-American Allies broke through Caen, as the pressure on Germany on the Eastern Front increased, they had to draw armored troops from the already devastated Western Front, and when the armored threat from the Germans was reduced, the British and Americans were finally not so embarrassed, without the help of jackals, tigers and leopards, the British and Americans could use the one-sided open space advantage to overwhelm the German army, and at this time they had arrived near Paris.

As for the Pacific theater, the devil was almost beaten all the way by the American army, and in October the Battle of Leyte Gulf broke out as scheduled, Halsey almost killed the American army, and MacArthur fulfilled the promise he made when he escaped in 1942 and returned to the Philippines.

Almost at the same time as the Battle of Leyte Gulf broke out, the Soviet Red Army's operation to liberate Taiwan also entered the final preparatory period. In Vladivostok, the Soviet Red Army hoarded a large amount of supplies and gathered a large number of ships; in order to prevent the Japanese fighters from harassing this time, the Red Air Force dispatched a large number of bombers and attack planes from the front line of the Soviet-German battlefield to carry out frenzied bombing of the Japanese airfields on the front line of the Sea of Japan day and night. The already modest reserve of pilots for the Japanese was almost depleted.

The entire aerial strangulation operation lasted for a month, and by December 1944, the Japanese army's radar and airfields on the front line of the Sea of Japan had suffered heavy blows.

So much so that when the Soviet Red Army finally landed in Taiwan in mid-January 1945, the devil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this was still good news...... (To be continued.) )
