Churchill was in a hurry, and Truman was also in a hurry, and he could not see at all that a few days ago he was complacent about extorting a sum of money from Switzerland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Now they know that they are really happy too early, and the old man is waiting for them in a circle.

Soon after, in response to the possible outbreak of the Turkish crisis, US Secretary of State Stepinius rushed to London and had a face-to-face meeting with Churchill.

"Turkey must maintain the status quo, and all previous international treaties on Turkey must be respected. Any attempt to challenge the relevant treaties must be stopped! ”

Britain and the United States quickly reached a broad consensus, but this consensus is of little significance, because it is obvious that the polar bear is already sharpening its knife, to be specific, the knife has been put on Turkey's neck, and the next step is to go through the procedure.

The worst thing is that Britain and the United States have not yet done a very good way to stop the Russians from going through the procedure, because the excuse that the Soviet Union has come up with is really good. He even talked about Hitler. As the biggest devil in World War II, neither Britain, the United States, nor the Soviet Union can let him go, and the glorious achievements of the Führer have been repeatedly publicized this year, and the Führer at this time has become synonymous with the devil and Satan in the hearts of the people of the world. It can almost be said that Hitler's sympathizers were the devil's race. And the devil must be destroyed.

Now, the Soviet Union said that Turkey had accepted Hitler, which was tantamount to directly labeling Turkey as a devil. If Turkey does not give a reasonable explanation, let alone join the allies, I am afraid that it will immediately have to shed a layer of skin.

There may be comrades who want to say that Turkey can deny that it can prove its innocence. The question is, is it that simple? Look at the previous Switzerland, did he accept Hitler? How did he prove his innocence in the end? still admitted punishment to curry favor with the Soviet Union, and finally the Soviet Union refuted its innocence before getting out.

And will the USSR prove Turkey's innocence? It's impossible to think about it, the Soviet Union is full of discipline if it doesn't pour dirty water on Turkey. Some comrades may want to say that the Soviet Union did not prove to Turkey, but Britain and the United States could vouch for Turkey!

Britain and the United States are also allies and giants, and some people still believe what they say. However, this question does not depend on how many people believe, but on the attitude of the Soviet Union, even if Britain and the United States come up with a temperance to vouch for Turkey, and even find a basket of evidence to be exonerated by Turkey, as long as the Soviet Union pretends to be blind, it just does not believe, he wants to engage Turkey, what can you do?

Let Britain and the United States turn their faces directly with the Soviet Union for the sake of Turkey and directly start World War III? Wake up, Yingmei is really not a living Lei Feng. What's more, at this time, the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons are too scary, completely occupying a one-sided advantage, at this time to start World War III, the Americans may be able to endure and receive, Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries are not killed, after all, the United States is unlikely to eat the atomic bomb, and they are on the edge of the polar bear, can't hide from it!

For hundreds of years, the sages of the British Empire have summed up a valuable historical lesson - the dead friend does not die the poor. What did the British Empire do when it pitted Napoleon? More money and less effort, let the Low Countries, Prussia, the Habsburgs and the Tsar fill the hole, and when Napoleon is consumed, these families are almost exhausted, and what about the British Empire? Money was earned, prestige was earned, and in the end, all the benefits that Napoleon had gained after his fall. In the words of Yes, Chancellor - Britain's diplomatic goal has never changed for 500 years - to create a divided Europe. So we united the Netherlands (including Belgium at the time, the so-called Netherlands) to Spain, Germany and Russia (Napoleon), France and Italy (World War I), France and the Soviet Union to Germany (World War II), divide and conquer, and the effect was so good, why should we change?

To put it bluntly, of course, when Britain is unable to confront an enemy, it creates an enemy for the enemy. If the enemy is monolithic, Britain will penetrate the enemy, and the so-called external pressure will not work, that is, internal harmony (a typical example is the European Union, why did Britain join the European Union?). It is nothing more than mixing the EU into a pot of porridge from within. Once the EU really doesn't work, you see how fast Niu Niu escapes).

Therefore, once the Soviet Union is strong and strong enough, the British will never talk about fighting hard, and Stadinius did propose in his talks with Churchill that Britain and the United States should use military force to support Turkey, and if necessary, they could fight the second "Crimean War" in the same year. It's just that this suggestion was directly rejected by Churchill, and the reason why the Russians were able to be pitted in Crimea back then was nothing more than that Britain and France were the bosses at that time, occupying the absolute upper hand, and repairing polar bears was a piece of cake. And now the situation is completely different, the risk of coming to hard is too great, too uneconomical, so Britain will definitely not do it.

Churchill's advice was to try to be as soft as possible, and it was too dangerous to be hard. So what are the so-called soft means? It is nothing more than diplomatic pressure.

Soon Aiden and Stadinius shouted to Li Xiaofeng on different occasions: "The pursuit of Hitler must have real evidence, and there can be no random suspicion because of a little speculation." The Turkish government should not openly shield the Nazis, and we believe that this should be just a misunderstanding! ”

To tell the truth, the tone of these words is really not high, and it is obvious that Britain and the United States are still in the stage of saying good things, and they do not want to push the Soviet Union too quickly. However, these words were obviously useless, because the Soviet reply was: "It is obvious from the evidence that the joint investigation team of our country and the Swiss government can already confirm that Turkey has harbored a large number of Nazi war criminals, including Hitler, and this cannot be questioned." ”

Well, undoubtedly all out. Churchill was also a headache enough that he had to go out and do Swiss work himself, and it seemed to him that as long as Switzerland withdrew that statement, the Russians would have less excuse than that. However, after meeting with the Swiss ambassador to the United Kingdom, Churchill's face became very ugly.

The reason is that the Swiss ambassador directly singled out him: "The Russians said that either we will do what they want, or they will directly deal with Switzerland." We are also forced to have no choice but to withdraw our statement, but your country must vouch for the security of Switzerland, and promise that in the event of an invasion of Switzerland or the use of nuclear weapons against Switzerland, the Soviet Union will immediately declare war on the Soviet Union and attack the Soviet Red Army in Germany. ”

How could Churchill agree to this request, and he did not want to die. At that time, Britain could even sell Poland, let alone a small Switzerland. So, he tried to fool the Swiss into accepting a verbal security promise (similar to the one they had made to Poland), but the Swiss were not stupid, and with the experience of Czechoslovakia and Poland, the ghost believed in what security promises.

If the soft one doesn't work, Churchill is ready to come hard, and he said not without a threat: "I can understand that your country is afraid of the military threat from the Soviet Union." But didn't your country think that our country and the United States would be highly dissatisfied? ”

This was murderous, but the Swiss ambassador had already received a letter from home, and he immediately hinted: "If you do not understand the helplessness of our country having to compromise with the Soviet Union in order to protect itself, then our government will have to completely turn to the Soviet Union." I'm sure you, Mr. Prime Minister, don't want to see that happen. ”

Churchill suddenly had no choice, and it was definitely not a good thing to really push Switzerland into a hurry, to completely force it to the Soviet Union. Now the Swiss government is saying that Hitler fled to Turkey, and Turkey's responsibility for this statement is relatively small, after all, it is not taking the initiative to accept it. Once they pushed Switzerland into a hurry, they really followed the Soviet Union's dictate and said, "Turkey took the initiative to accept Hitler." "That's a different story.

After thinking about it, Churchill could only let Switzerland go for the time being, because the key to solving the crisis now was not on them, and these poor creatures were also forced to helpless. Now there are only two paths before Britain: either they can scare off the Soviet Union and make them retreat and give up their coveting of Turkey; Either they will find a way to find out for Hitler, and as long as Hitler is found, then the USSR will have no excuses.

It's just that none of these two roads are easy to take, and the scare off the Soviet Union has been analyzed before, and there is basically no such possibility. And finding Hitler was even more clueless.

Churchill knew very well that Hitler's incident was directed by the Soviet Union at all, and I am afraid that Hitler would have fallen into their hands long ago.

And Learvine also told him: "It is impossible to recapture Hitler from the Russians." Andre. Petrovich has some strange abilities that will not allow us to find any clues about Hitler, let alone take it back. ”

Churchill also sighed: "Then do you have any other way?" ”

Learwin smiled bitterly and replied: "Judging from the current situation, the Soviet Union has taken the lead, and they are in control. It is conceivable that they have been preparing for this day for a long time, and if I am not bad, they will immediately launch an operation in Turkey, without giving us much time to mediate. ”

Churchill sighed again and said, "That is, we don't have the slightest chance at all?" ”

"There is no chance at all," Liervin nodded, and then said, "It seems to me that the Soviet Union will immediately send troops to Turkey." If we don't want to break out into a direct military conflict with the Soviet Union, the only thing we can do is to give military aid to Turkey, and I hope the Turks can hold out for a while longer! ”

This judgment was quite pessimistic, which made Churchill even more depressed. However, the old smoker also knew that there was basically no problem with Learwin's judgment, and there was really no better card to play in Turkey, and the only thing Britain and the United States could do was to give Turkey military aid and let the local chickens inflict greater damage on the Soviet Union.

This result was really disappointing to the old smoker, and thinking about it, the British Empire had worked hard for more than 200 years to lock the polar bear in the Black Sea, and Churchill couldn't help but feel a sense of shame for the immortals because of a small mistake.

Just when Churchill was extremely disappointed, Lierwin suddenly said again: "Prime Minister, I don't think this is the time to be pessimistic and disappointed, we have not completely lost this race!" ”

Churchill jerked up his head and looked at Learvine incredulously, and asked with some trembling, "What else can you do?" ”

Learvin shook his head and said, "There is no better way to do it in Turkey. But Turkey is not the only country in the world! ”

Churchill didn't understand what Learwin meant, and looked directly at the female spy, hoping that the female spy would uncover the mystery.

Learwin took a deep breath and slowly analyzed: "We really have nothing more to do in Turkey, but to make trouble for the Soviet Union as much as possible. But at the same time, we must realize that it is impossible for the Soviet Union to eat Turkey in one go, this country is no longer the sick man of the past after Kemal's transformation, and it will inevitably resist the aggression of the Soviet Union with all its strength at the moment of life and death, and it is conceivable that there will be a fierce war waiting for the Soviet Union. ”

Taking a breath, Learvine continued: "According to my judgment, Turkey will inevitably resist with all its might, and it is quite possible that the USSR will be bogged down in a quagmire. And that's our chance! ”

Churchill motioned to Learvine with his eyes to continue, and the latter lived up to the hopes of the old smoker and gave reasonable advice: "The energy of the Soviet Union is limited, and Turkey is enough for them to drink a pot." Taking advantage of the fact that the Soviet Union was held back by the Turks, we could launch counterattacks in other regions, such as the Middle East, such as China, Western Europe, and Greece. I don't believe that the Soviets could tear themselves up with the Turks and at the same time keep an eye on other regions. ”

Churchill's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was really a very good suggestion, as the saying goes, you hit yours and I hit mine, when the polar bear was dragged by Turkey, it was completely possible to find a field in other areas, as the so-called east is not bright and the west is bright, and I don't believe that Lao Maozi can do everything.

So did the USSR really not have the ability to take care of everything? Just as Li Ervin analyzed, the Soviet Union's national strength was indeed limited, and it was impossible to cover everything. With the strength of Britain, it is possible to take advantage of the Soviet Union's fall in Turkey to open up a second battlefield. Even with the insidiousness of Learvin, they could have done better.

Soon Learwin suggested: "In order to fight back against the Soviet Union to the greatest extent, we must make full use of the power of our allies, and we cannot rely on us alone, and mobilize the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, and even France to fight with us, which will inevitably make the Soviet Union lose sight of one or the other, and finally exhaust!" ”

To Churchill, Learwin's words were like a fresh breeze blowing away the clouds, too enlightening, and even more so manipulative. Churchill almost jumped up from behind his desk and called a cabinet meeting in a frenzy.

Soon an agreement was reached within the United Kingdom, and a secret meeting was immediately held with the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden. At this meeting, the five countries agreed that they would fight back against Soviet expansion in various areas.

Among them, the British chose two breakthroughs, one for Palestine and the other for Iran. The Americans, on the other hand, chose China as a key breakthrough. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Sweden unanimously decided to make trouble in Denmark. A grand anti-Soviet coalition has been initially formed.

Some comrades may find it strange, aren't the French very close to the Soviet Union? Some time ago, I joined hands with my cheating father, why did I defect to Britain and the United States again in the blink of an eye? In fact, the reason is very simple, who was de Gaulle? To say that it sounds good is to make every effort to safeguard France's national interests, and to say that it is not good to say that it is a mother who has milk from the left and right. This unique diplomatic thinking determined that France would not completely fall to either the Soviet Union or Britain and the United States. For the sake of the Ruhr area, he can follow the Soviet Union, but in order to resist the continued expansion of the Soviet Union, he will not hesitate to fight back.

In de Gaulle's view, the Soviet Union was too close to France, almost at the doorstep, and at this time it was necessary to create as many firewalls as possible, otherwise it was necessary to find one more enemy for the Soviet Union, lest the Russians stare at France as soon as they came up. If the Soviet forces could be expelled from Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium would be slightly safer, and Denmark's unique geographical position would also prevent the Red Navy from entering and leaving the Baltic Sea. What's more, standing with Belgium and the Netherlands at this time is conducive to deepening the relationship between the three countries, and everyone can join together to resist the expansion of the Soviet Union, right?

And France's turn made Britain and the United States very satisfied, before the French and the Soviet Union stood together to pit them, which really made them a little frightened, especially the United Kingdom, Niu Niu was frightened, because once France also took refuge in the Soviet Union, it means that the entire European continent is already under the world of the Russians, which means that Britain itself is not safe. Once World War III breaks out, Britain may be the first to be hit by the United States, and the Soviet Union has been too scary to grow mushrooms for Japan before!

Now that the French have reformed their ways, Britain is relieved, and finally has a back, even if the polar bear wants to go crazy, it is estimated that it will bear the brunt of repairing the Gallic chicken first, and the Gallic chicken can consume more than a dozen nuclear bombs of the polar bear even if it is not good, isn't it.

With France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden making trouble in Western Europe, Britain can also pull out its hand to fan the wind in the Middle East, and the two directions chosen by the British are also where they have suffered big losses before. In Palestine, the Soviet Union instigated the Jews to make a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, causing chickens and dogs to jump in that area, and causing a bad impact on Britain's layout in the Middle East. In the past, Britain really couldn't take care of that end, so they could only swallow their anger, but now they can be regarded as able to settle accounts with the Jews.

As for Iran, Niu Niu is also determined to win, in Churchill's view, even if Turkey loses Iran, it is not particularly bad, from Iran can radiate the Soviet Union's Central Asian hinterland, it is completely possible to stab the Soviet Union in the soft underbelly, incite those extremists to stir up the Caucasus upside down, and let the Soviet Union taste the backyard fire!

As for the Americans' choice of China, it was also for the purpose of maintaining the blockade line of the first island chain, and before letting the Soviet Union seize Taiwan and Hokkaido, the first island chain was hit with two big holes, and the Red Navy could freely enter and exit the Pacific Ocean from these two holes. And this is absolutely what the Americans absolutely do not want to see, in order to re-plug these two holes, the Americans believe that it is necessary to launch a counterattack in China.

What a counterattack? Truman's think tanks suggested to the acting president that the Scrape Democracy Party should be given military assistance to help the Scratch Democracy defeat the T Communists. As long as the T Communist Party is eliminated and the whole of China is included in the defense system of the United States, then the Soviet Union will revert to isolation and passivity in the Far East.

According to the think tanks, as long as the KMT wins and recovers North China and Northeast China, then it will not be of much significance for the Soviet Union to take Taiwan, and the line from the Yalu Sea to Taiwan is still within the strike range of Japan and mainland China, and the Red Navy's access is still restricted. Even as long as the Kuomintang wins, it can smoothly ask for Taiwan and Outer Mongolia, and then it will embarrass the Soviet Union.

Truman agreed to the advice of the thinkers, but the acting president also kept a hand, and he did not directly intervene militarily in China as the thinkers suggested, because when he was still vice president, he had not heard Roosevelt spit on Chiang. For Roosevelt, Truman still admired and respected him very much, and even the old president felt that Chiang was unreliable, and it was too risky to blindly bet on Chiang someone, and once he made an international joke like Yu Xianggui, Truman did not think that he could suppress the backlash of the Republican Party with high prestige like Roosevelt. After all, he's just a vice president and acting president.

Truman thought that it would be enough to give military assistance to Chiang and give money and weapons, and didn't Chiang boast that he had an army of eight million? Don't say that all of them are armed, even half of them are enough to deal with the T Communist Party of more than one million people, right?

So, Truman quickly persuaded Congress to agree to military aid to the Scraping People's Party, totaling $100 million. Of course, this 100 million dollars is not real money, it is all discounted materials from World War II. Arms and ammunition alone account for two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is mostly food.

This is naturally a bad thing for Jiang someone, and the rapid growth of the T Communist Party really worried him before, especially since the second half of 1944, the T Communist Party has won several big battles in a row, showing a very strong ability to fight big battles, and can actually encircle and annihilate several divisions of the Japanese. Don't look at Jiang Someone's mouth saying that it is not worth mentioning, but he is still very scared in his heart.

What worries Chiang the most is the attitude of the Americans, when Marshall came to China to broker his agreement to form a coalition government with T, Lao Chiang's heart was anxious, because the meaning of this is obvious, even the Americans are unwilling to support him in fighting a civil war, isn't this going to die?

The sudden American made a ninety-degree turn, which can be regarded as a relief to Lao Jiang. On the one hand, he ordered his descendants to quickly advance to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to recover the "lost territory", and on the other hand, he also ordered the commanding T Gong not to "cross the thunder pool one step", of course, the most important thing is that Lao Jiang hurriedly trained and changed his clothes, and constantly lectured the Huangpu disciples, saying: "The great plan to suppress bandits is urgent, and I hope that all students will sincerely cooperate to build a great cause!"
