442 Cairo (B)

Although Roosevelt was quite dissatisfied with Jiang's performance, and he was also quite unpleasant, this did not mean that he intended to stand up and speak for Huaxia. In this kind of top-level hooligan stage, there will be no mercy, everything will be a deal of Chiguoguo, if you don't have enough strength and courage to protect your rights and interests, then you can only let others eat it. Roosevelt would not have spoken for China anyway, unless it would help protect the interests of the United States.

In the first round of confrontation between Britain and the Soviet Union on the question of China, Britain was defeated. The ownership of Sakhalin by the USSR had to be recognized. Of course, Churchill could not easily admit defeat, and he soon launched a new attack.

"Based on the principle of respecting the territorial sovereignty of China, should the Soviet Union give a reasonable explanation on the issue of Outer Mongolia...... The British government strongly opposes any attempt to divide China. Outer Mongolia has belonged to China since ancient times, and no one or force can unilaterally change this fact! ”

Churchill's calculations were crackling, and he was ready to add to the Soviet Union's blockage on the Outer Mongolia issue, but what he did not expect was that the Soviet Union had already made a decision on this issue.

Trotsky replied calmly: "The Soviet government has never had the will or the idea of dividing China and annexing its territories. The Soviet Government respected China's sovereignty over Outer Mongolia and recognized that Outer Mongolia was a sacred and inalienable part of China. At the same time, however, the Soviet government respected the rights and interests of ethnic minorities and believed that they should enjoy a high degree of autonomy...... In the future, the establishment of a special administrative region with a high degree of autonomy for the Mongolian ethnic group in Outer Mongolia is in line with reality......"

Churchill was a little dumbfounded, the Soviet Union had shown that it was inevitable to defeat the outside world, why did it make a 180-degree turn in the blink of an eye? This is not scientific! Could it be that this Trotsky in front of him had taken the wrong medicine, or was he simply pretending?

Trotsky, for his part, did not have these comical ideas, and he was also a little emotional at this time, because Li Xiaofeng had strongly advised ****** not to encourage the independence of Mongolia. The proposal to turn Outer Mongolia into a special administrative region of China is, to be honest, very controversial within the ****** and **********. Most people think that you can spit out the fat that you eat in your mouth. However, with Li Xiaofeng's strong demand and Lenin's support, this proposal was adopted.

And now it seems that this approach is still desirable, at least to avoid the passivity of the Soviet Union in the international community. It is conceivable that if the Soviet Union continued to insist on the independence of Outer Mongolia. The British immediately attacked the USSR in a frenzy and undermined the Soviet Union's international prestige. Now, the situation is completely different.

How is it different? When Trotsky made this statement, Roosevelt immediately spoke highly of it: "I think that the Soviet Union has indeed respected the sovereignty and dignity of China, and is handling the problems left over from history in a responsible and practical way, which is highly commendable!" ”

Roosevelt was not completely fake, but he did feel that the Soviet Union was different from the previous Tsarist Russia, and the Russians were so ugly that they were simply a group of robbers and bandits. And the current USSR is undoubtedly much more civilized.

Of course, it was not only the Americans who were happy, Churchill was also full of joy, he thought that he had achieved his goal and forced the Soviet Union to suffer. He has even figured out how to create public opinion on a big scale, and he must write the following words on the front page of tomorrow's headline -- Churchill will speak out impartially and help China recover Outer Mongolia.

Yes, Churchill intended to completely transform the goodwill of the USSR into his personal efforts. It seems that the British Empire has won many benefits for China and thwarted the wolf ambitions of the Soviet Union.

But Churchill underestimated Trotsky too much. The collective wisdom of the Soviet ****** was also underestimated, because Trotsky soon reciprocated the other: "The problem of China includes not only the question of Mongolia, but also the question of Tibet. On behalf of the Soviet Government, I also formally urge the British Government to renounce its anachronistic colonialism and its encroachment on the territory of China. On the Tibet issue, we should respect China's sovereignty and promise not to swallow China's territory in any way. Britain must immediately abandon the so-called McMahon Line, which is an infamous act of aggression! The Soviet government will work with the international community to safeguard China's sovereignty and integrity! ”

Churchill was dumbfounded. The Soviet Union has a hole in the Outer Mongolia problem, but Britain's ass is not clean, and the Tibet problem, especially the McMahon Line, is also a slot. The Soviet Union set an example on the issue of Outer Mongolia, and Britain must also set an example on this issue!

But the shamelessness of the old rascal is the imagination, and Churchill denied it in every possible way from the beginning. insisted that there was nothing wrong with the McMahon Line, and asked the Soviet Union not to make unreasonable trouble. But Trotsky was not polite, and seized on this point to stalk him, and did not give Qiu Fatzi any chance to deny it at all.

At the critical moment, Roosevelt also stabbed the British Empire in the back, and the United States believed that the McMahon Line was also a product of nothing, and that it was the vexatious play of British colonialism, and did not recognize the legitimacy of this line, and demanded that Britain abandon this proposition.

Of course, the British still refused to admit defeat, but it didn't work, and when the United States and the Soviet Union did not recognize the legitimacy of the so-called McMahon Line, the next day's front-page headlines did not have the expected positive image of Churchill. On the contrary, the image of the British is very bad, and under the leadership of the United States and the Soviet Union, world public opinion has concentrated on complaining that Britain has always refused to give up the idea of colonialism, is a political zombie in the new era, and is a shame for the democratic world.

To tell the truth, that's all the United States and the Soviet Union can do, the world speaks with strength after all, and if Huaxia reaches its strength one day, there will naturally be no problem in getting back its own chassis. And without this strength, even if you talk about it, it's useless.

Of course, this is not to say that the endorsements of the United States and the Soviet Union are useless. At least China has moral support on this issue, and at least it can condemn Britain from a moral height, which is enough to fight for 30 years. And once Huaxia's strength reaches and it is time to regain the lost territory by force, there will be no moral problems.

But that's all for later, and it's useless to mention it for the time being. Continue back to the meeting itself. Trotsky, who seemed to want to settle the Chinese question in one fell swoop, soon added a new formulation, in which he supported China's demand for a "nine-dash line" in the South China Sea, and even recognized the unquestionable and indisputable sovereignty of China in the whole of the South China Sea.

To be honest, Churchill was very upset at that time, he thought that Trotsky was crazy. Why do you take so much care of the Chinese people? How much did the Soviet Union receive from China?

Anyway, Churchill strongly opposed this statement, for the simple reason that this division was contrary to the interests of the British Empire, which was the boss in the whole of Southeast Asia, and the division of the nine-dash line did not take the sea power of the British Empire too seriously. Such a large sea, we British have been free to sail for hundreds of years. Today, you Russians will return to China as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, there is no such reason!

"This is not in line with reality, nor with history, nor with current international regulations!"

However, what Churchill did not expect was that the United States was once again on the side of the Soviet Union, and Roosevelt supported the Soviet Union's claim that the sovereignty of the South China Sea belonged to China. The reason is also simple, it is in the interests of the United States. In Roosevelt's view, Huaxia can certainly be the little brother of the United States in the future. In China, the United States will gain a transcendent position and will replace Britain as the de facto occupant of the Chinese market and sphere of influence. It is in the national interest of the United States to expel British influence, especially to indirectly drive a nail in the direction of Southeast Asia.

At this time, Roosevelt was already thinking about signing a treaty of free navigation with China, and if the sovereignty of the South China Sea belonged to China, then the United States would automatically obtain the right of free navigation in the South China Sea. It has strengthened itself and hit the British, so why not?

Of course, Roosevelt was not entirely without doubts. He did not understand why the USSR would come up with such a proposal that was unilaterally beneficial to the United States. Could it be that the Soviet Union intended to make a deal with the United States? In exchange for the understanding and support of the United States on other issues in the South China Sea, which had no impact on the Soviet Union?

Roosevelt thought that if this was the case, the United States could also reciprocate. As long as it does not harm the interests of the United States, it can help the Soviet Union to trap the British on other issues.

And soon, this other problem popped up. Having suffered two losses in a row, Churchill's anger is rising upward, and although Britain has not suffered substantial damage on these two issues for the time being, it is very likely to suffer losses in the future. So he couldn't help it. On the Middle East, there is a problem.

"The reason for the recent outbreak of a series of bloody conflicts in the Middle East and the Near East is that certain countries are trying to meddle in the affairs of the Middle East and the Near East and try to disrupt the order here, which is extremely dangerous and shameful, and the British Government expresses its strong indignation!"

Churchill did not name names, though. But from the fact that he kept staring at Trotsky, it was clear that some of the countries in his mouth were the Soviet Union. But what made the old smoker even more angry was that Trotsky didn't say anything about it, and just treated him as a fart, which undoubtedly annoyed the old smoker even more.

So Churchill immediately asked in a more aggravated tone: "Mr. Trotsky, don't you feel ashamed, don't you intend to give an explanation?" ”

Trotsky sneered in his heart and asked rhetorically, "Why should I be ashamed?" Some colonists still have their faces shouting here for hundreds of years, for fear that others will not know about the scandal of their family. What am I ashamed of compared to such a person? As for the explanation? Mr. Prime Minister, what explanation do you want? The Balfour Declaration was not issued by the Soviet Foreign Minister, was it? I don't admit what I said? ”

Churchill could feel his temples pounding, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked: "Is it the intention of the Soviet Government that the order in the Middle and the Near East was determined by the Paris Peace Conference through peaceful discussions, and that it is a universally binding peace agreement?" ”

Trotsky pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "The Paris Peace Conference? Sorry, the Soviet government never participated in the Paris Peace Conference, nor did it recognize the imperialist spoils pact on the division of the world! ”

Churchill was also dizzy, he forgot that the Soviet Union did not participate in the Paris Peace Conference at all, and he had to turn to Roosevelt again, hoping that this good friend could help talk. But Roosevelt's words made him half cold.

"Although the U.S. government participated in the peace conference, it never signed the agreements, and these agreements have no legal effect on the U.S. government!"

To tell the truth, Roosevelt was enough to take care of Churchill's face, because at the Paris Peace Conference, the Americans were played by Britain and France very lightly, and almost withdrew from the Peace Conference in anger. The Americans have been remembering this account, just waiting to take revenge on the British.

At this time, Churchill silently felt a trace of sadness, it turned out that there was no one left at the Paris Peace Conference, and the current Britain was facing the same situation as the Americans in Paris and the conference, and had to face two hooligans to play together.

Even Churchill believed that the British Empire at this time was inferior to the United States in those years. The Americans could stiffen their necks and say: "If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay here, Lao Tzu won't serve, let's wait and see!" ”。 Now Britain does not even have the courage and strength to say such things, and the United States and the Soviet Union will unite to tease it to death on the Middle East issue.

Roosevelt was quick to speak: "We hope that the British Government will thoroughly implement the Balfour Declaration as soon as possible and thoroughly grant the long-suffering Jewish people the right to self-government, and try to bridge the contradictions between the Jewish and Arab nations, and refrain from creating new contradictions and conflicts." This does not do anything good to solve the intricate practical problems of the Middle East. The United States Government is strongly concerned about the well-being of all peoples in the Middle East. Oppose any old acts of colonialism. ”

Trotsky also added to the sidelines: "I fully agree with the statement of President Roosevelt. Britain is indeed fully responsible for the turmoil in the Middle East, and only when Britain gives up the **** of colonialism and truly and thoroughly proceeds from the perspective of maintaining peace and harmony in the region can the turmoil be ended! The Soviet government urged the British government to start a new Middle East policy as soon as possible and restore peace in the region as soon as possible! ”

Churchill is really more disgusting than eating flies, Nima, originally wanted to win back a game on the Middle East issue, who would have thought that he would be jointly beaten by the United States and the Soviet Union, this is really a miserable thing!

But Churchill had suffered and could not tell. Whoever let the topic of the Middle East be hooked up by him, don't blame the opponent for filling in the pit on his own initiative. When the United States and the Soviet Union set off a new round of hanging storm on related issues, he quickly turned to the Near East issue, that is, the Turkish issue.

Finally, on this issue, Churchill moved back to the game, and on the Near East the Americans finally did not have an elbow to turn outward, and the two countries finally succeeded in putting pressure on the Soviet Union. But at the end of the day, it's still useless. What was the attitude of the British towards the Chinese question and the Middle East question, and what was the attitude of the Soviet Union towards the Near East question. It's a big deal to pretend to be deaf and dumb, what can you do with me!

This round of discussions took two full days. It has already exceeded the original three-day session. It's just that there are very few parts on which the three countries can agree on related issues, and most of them are divided into spheres of influence. The big guys can't talk about it.

And this has given rise to a new problem, we have a meeting for a few days, and we can't have no results at all, right? You have to give an explanation to the world, right?

Churchill proposed: "Abandon the dispute for the time being, and first determine the outcome of the conference." ”

This seemed like a good idea, but Trotsky disagreed, knowing full well that this was the trick of the fat man. In the previous negotiations, who had the most slots, naturally, was the United Kingdom. Britain now only wants to identify the parts that are good for them, and exclude all the bad parts, how can there be such a good thing?

So Trotsky meant: "The results are to be reported, but the differences are to be clarified." It is okay to leave the contradictions and problems to future generations to solve. But don't pretend to be deaf and dumb! ”

Roosevelt thought about it and decided to support Trotsky's opinion: "It can be divided into two parts, one part about cooperation and the other part about differences, and it is really not interesting to pretend to be deaf and dumb!" ”

Two to one, Churchill lost. Now the British are faced with a choice, either to express themselves together on the results and problems, or to have nothing, and where to go from here?

A few days later, after a long discussion, Churchill finally decided - admit it! Even just determining the results is beneficial to the British Empire, which is now in a period of strategic contraction, so let's first determine the basic stability of the situation. And if the results of the Cairo Conference are not recognized, will it not be in vain to work so hard to mobilize the people? And what should world public opinion think. The old smoker knows very well that once Britain expresses its denial, then the United States and the Soviet Union will definitely throw the black pot on Britain to bear, and it will be even more passive at that time.

The Cairo Conference came to a "successful" conclusion, achieved certain results, and initially laid the foundation for the future international order. However, there are still many problems, such as the fact that the four countries have not been able to fully agree on various issues in the Near East, the Middle East, and the Far East, and they are still facing the danger of contradictions erupting in the future. There's a bunch of time bombs waiting to be eliminated anyway.

However, Trotsky remained optimistic, because before he attended the meeting, he was pessimistic about the outcome of the talks, believing that nothing was likely to be achieved. Although the current result is not good, it is finally explained.

And the day after the Cairo Conference, on the vast eastern front, the Soviet Red Army launched a full-front onslaught, and this was the Uranus and Pluto project.

In Minsk, under the command of Triandafilov and Sokolovsky, the five armies of the 1st Belorussian Front, under the cover of thousands of bombers and attack aircraft and thousands of heavy guns, fiercely penetrated into the German lines, advancing 11 kilometers on the first day alone.

To the south of Belarus, Rokossovsky's Second Belorussian Front did not allow Triandafilov to dominate the front, and at the same time launched an onslaught...... (To be continued.) )
