519 The Truth?
It is conceivable that an international cannon is inevitable, and the Americans insist that their bombers are patrolling the high seas and are harmless. However, the Soviet side claimed that the US plane had brazenly intruded into Soviet airspace. It is Chiguoguo's aggression, and the Americans must be asked to give an explanation.
So this matter became a stalemate, it was the public who said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and no one on either side refused to give in anyway. And this controversy gave Churchill an opportunity.
What Churchill wanted to see most was the rupture of US-Soviet relations, and only the rupture of US-Soviet relations could come in handy. What Britain does best is to create antagonism, and then seek its own interests in the opposition. In the Napoleonic era, the British used this trick to play to death, and in World War I, they tried every means to pull France and Russia to pit Germany and Austria, of course, that time the pit was relatively large, and all the French, Russian, German, Austrian, and soil were pitted into it in one go, and even almost killed themselves.
And now, Churchill wants to do the same thing again, blockading Napoleon and Wilhelm II to blockade the Soviet Union. In his view, as long as the United States and the Soviet Union fell into a high degree of antagonism, then they could pull the vote of Western Europe into the cart of Britain, trap the Russians in Eastern Europe in isolation and blockade, and exclude them from the family of nations.
In this way, in order to achieve the goal of blockading the Soviet Union, the United States will have to rely on Britain's role in Europe, and it will naturally be able to elevate Britain's position, not to mention continuing to maintain the glory of the sunset, at least sitting in the second position.
Therefore, Churchill naturally wished that the more fierce the quarrel between the United States and the Soviet Union would be, the better, and even specially instructed Li Erwen to ask Li Erwen to burn another fire inside, so that the United States and the Soviet Union would turn against him.
This kind of task is naturally unwanted, and she is very good at it. Therefore, according to Churchill's instructions, Learvin immediately launched a public opinion offensive, mobilized all the media that could control it to collectively crusade against the Soviet Union, and shouted for the United States. Anyway, the implicit meaning is that the Soviet Union is evil, so the B29 deliberately seized the United States because the United States refused to sell it to the Soviet Union, a strategic bomber, so the Soviet Union deliberately forced a landing for study.
I have to say that this trick was really ruthless enough, and a basin of dirty water was poured on the Soviet Union. And it is equivalent to a problem for the Soviet Union, if you don't release this B29, the wolf's ambition will be exposed, and the release of this B29 is equivalent to losing for a while, anyway, it is really not a person inside and out. Even if the Soviet Union released this B29, the British still have something to say, on the one hand, they can say to those countries in Western Europe that are a little wavering: "See, the Soviet Union is not our opponent at all, and there is something to be done!" On the other hand, the British can also say that the reason why the Soviet Union released this B29 was because the Soviet Union knew that it was not reasonable, and it was convinced by Israel.
All in all, it seems that no matter what the USSR did, yellow mud fell in the crotch of the pants, and it was not and. At least Sverdlov had no idea that this would be the case. Especially after the British broke the news that the Soviet fighter attacked the B29 and hijacked it to Murmansk by force, the pressure of public opinion is increasing.
Sverdlov, on the other hand, had not thought about it so much before telling the truth, and he really had very little experience in the struggle in this area, and he had not at all understood the despicable tricks of imperialism in pointing black into white and deer as horses. At least he hadn't directly fought with Learvin, and he hadn't learned how powerful he was at all.
For a time, the Soviet Union fell into a comprehensive passivity, and international public opinion was quite unfavorable to it, and with the pressure of international public opinion, Britain and the United States exerted strong political pressure on the Soviet Union, and it seemed that the Soviet Union was the villain.
So much so that Sverdlov had to make a review in ******, admitting that he had miscalculated the insidiousness of imperialism and had no idea how fierce and cruel the struggle on the hidden front was.
It can only be said that Sverdlov asked for himself, because this work had been done by Li Xiaofeng before, and he and Trotsky generally only had to sit back and enjoy their achievements, who would have thought that when he actually started to do this, he found that it was not easy at all. The enemy was unexpectedly ferocious and powerful, and the three-plate axe cut down so that he barely had the strength to fight back.
In desperation, Sverdlov could only make a review and ask ****** to ask another master, who else could there be besides a certain immortal. Of course, at that time, ****** was not optimistic that Li Xiaofeng would be able to turn the tide again, because the situation was so bad that he couldn't see the possibility of turning the clouds and rain at all.
But as we all know, Li Xiaofeng has always been good at creating miracles, and soon he held a special press conference, which invited the media from all over Europe, and the place of the press conference was at the Murmansk airport, which is the place where the B29 made a forced landing.
When the reporters saw this huge air fortress for the first time, they couldn't help but be surprised, because one of the engines on its left wing was indeed beaten to shreds, which seemed to confirm some of the British claims, and the reporters were talking about it for a while.
A few minutes later, Li Xiaofeng also arrived at the scene, he first greeted the reporters with a smile, and then got to the point: "Recently, the B29 behind me has caused a series of disputes. In order to clear up the public, I was commissioned by the People's Commissar of the Soviet Government to explain what happened......"
Before Li Xiaofeng finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared: "You must apologize, you must give an explanation to the people of the world!" ”
Li Xiaofeng didn't even raise his eyelids, and replied indifferently: "James. Mr. Pofil, do you think I didn't know it was you hiding in the crowd? As the chief reporter of The Times, you don't know even basic politeness, do you? Interrupting me in a hurry will not show how justified you are, it will only show people that you are weak and cunning! ”
James. Pofil really didn't expect that someone in the crowd of hundreds of people could accurately find him, and what he didn't expect was that someone could not only accurately identify him, but also tell his identity. This made someone feel a little embarrassed, but in view of the current one-sided situation, he did not feel that there was anything to be afraid of, and immediately shouted: "What else is there to say, the matter is not obvious, your despicable attack and forced landing of American fighters, from the huge damage of the B29 I saw just now, does not prove all this." ”
Li Xiaofeng was not in a hurry at all, and replied unhurriedly: "You said that the Red Army's fighters attacked this B29, well, this is true." Because we did! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and all the reporters, no matter which side they leaned towards, were in an uproar. Before, they thought that the Russians would do everything possible to justify themselves at this press conference, and they must push the blame cleanly, but the current script does not seem to be like this!
Anyway, there was a bang in the minds of the reporters, and it exploded in an instant, but they immediately reacted that it was going to be a super huge news. The Soviet Union admitted that it had attacked American bombers, what a thriller and many headlines!
For a while, the reporters were excited, and they raised the recording equipment in their hands high and asked for questions. Of course which James. Pofil was one of the most proud, shouting and mocking the Soviet Union, demanding an immediate apology and apology.
It's just that no matter how much trouble this group of reporters makes, Li Xiaofeng is still immovable, until this group of people has to quiet themselves, Li Xiaofeng slowly continued: "There may be a gentleman who wants to ask?" Why did the Soviet Air Force attack the bombers of the American allies? Of course I know James. Mr. Pofil must be leading to conspiracy theories that the Red Army coveted the B29. Well, this statement is appealing to people who are used to turning black and white upside down and who like conspiracy theories. But alas, this is not true! ”
"Then what do you say is the truth," said James. Pofil sarcastically replied, "I only trust my own eyes, and my eyes have told me the truth!" ”
"Really?" Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and rushed to James. Pofil waved to the reporters and guided them in the direction of the B29, until they reached the bottom of the belly, and then he said to the group: "Since everyone wants to believe their eyes, seeing is believing." Check it out here! ”
The reporters followed Li Xiaofeng's finger and saw a device suspended in the open bomb compartment of the B29, and several sets of circular lenses exposed its function.
"This is an aerial photographic device," Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Normally, we can see this kind of device on a reconnaissance plane, but as for what a reconnaissance plane does, I think everyone should be clear, so I won't explain it much." ”
As he spoke, he found James again. Pofil: "Now, Mr. Pofil, can you tell me what your eyes see?" I would like to ask, why did an anti-submarine patrol bomber fly in the airspace of the USSR with such reconnaissance equipment? Could it be that these photographic devices can be used against anti-submarine weapons? ”
James. Pofil was a little stunned, because the situation in the domestic notice was not like this, according to the Americans, the camera device should have been thrown into the sea, and the Russians could not find any evidence at all. And now, how is this damn camera hanging in the cabin, what is the fuss?
Li Xiaofeng sneered in his heart, wanting to play this kind of trick with him, an immortal, is simply a joke, not to mention that it was just thrown into the sea, or it was directly blown into ashes, and he could find an identical one to put in the cabin.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Li Xiaofeng continued: "Now, gentlemen should know the reason why the Soviet Air Force attacked this B29, because this B29 trespassed into the Soviet airspace to carry out illegal reconnaissance activities, in order to maintain the national security of the Soviet Union, after several warnings and dissuasions were ineffective, our Red Air Force can only use force to force this B29 to obey the command. ”
Li Xiaofeng's explanation sounded reasonable, at least the original pro-Soviet reporters immediately nodded their heads again and again, indicating that such a script was logical!
Of course, for this point James. Pofil was certainly unacceptable, and he immediately shouted: "These are shameless lies! It is the most despicable smear and planting! The so-called camera is what you put on purpose! ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled: "You are still fighting as always, I want to ask Mr. Pofil, what kind of anti-submarine patrol needs to go deep into the Barents Sea?" Need to fly all the way to Novaya Zemlya in the USSR? I've never heard of German submarines in this area. In fact, since 1943, the Red Navy has completely mastered the waters north of Norway, and since then no American or British ship has been harassed by German submarines in these waters. Why did the Allies suddenly think of what anti-submarine patrols to carry out in the Barents Sea after the whole of Norway was basically liberated? What is the rationale for this? Well, since this B29 was a dignified anti-submarine patrol, but why did not a single department of the Allies inform the Soviet government about this? Is this normal? ”
James. Pofil was speechless, this place is not very easy to wash, after all, entering the Barents Sea is equivalent to entering the backyard of the Soviet Union, if it is a normal operation, it should be informed by reason, what kind of anti-submarine patrol is carried out so secretly, it is nonsense!
When Li Xiaofeng said this, he simply didn't bother to deal with James. Pofil, because he knows too well the details of this goods, nominally he is the chief correspondent of the Times in the Soviet Union, but in fact the boss behind this goods is MI6, a spy with a press card. Its activities have always been under the monitoring of the KGB, Li Xiaofeng knows too well the details of this goods, and knows that there is as much evidence as Xiaoshan in front of this goods, and he will still selectively ignore it, and he will still chatter and smear the Soviet Union. As long as you beat him hard in front of other reporters, there is no need to talk to him more.
Li Xiaofeng continued to introduce to other reporters: "Obviously, this B29 is a reconnaissance aircraft disguised as an anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and its purpose is also to directly target the scientific research facilities of the Soviet Union's Novaya Zemlya Island. Next, we will release a set of films that have been washed out of its aerial camera, and the truth of this incident will be revealed when we see the contents of the film. ”
A stack of photographs was placed in front of the reporters, and there were a large number of buildings and factories, many of which had Soviet flags flying on them, and it was clear where these photos were taken.
"I would like to ask the US government, you keep saying that your reconnaissance plane did not enter the airspace of the USSR, then I want to ask, where did these photos come from?"
When Li Xiaofeng finished asking this question, the pro-Soviet reporters in the scene began to applaud violently, and it was clear that the disclosed evidence was enough in the eyes of the reporters. Of course, that James. Rather than give up, Pofil accused: "How can you prove that these so-called photos were taken by B29? You can fake, it's not convincing! ”
Li Xiaofeng smiled and asked: "Mr. Pofil, can you come up with convincing enough evidence to prove that the Soviet Union coveted the secret of the B29 and illegally forced to land it?" Does the U.S. government have it? Can he explain why this strategic bomber, which does not have any anti-submarine capabilities and anti-submarine equipment, appeared in the Barents Sea? Please also show evidence to refute me, or I can tell you are lying! ”
Do Americans have proof? Naturally, there is no way, there is no way to prove this kind of nonsense, when the local chickens shot down the Su-24 of the polar bear in later generations, the two sides insisted on their own words, can they make it clear? You must know that in the future, there will be satellites and GPS. Everyone has a phone with a camera, and there is a black box on the plane, but can you tell the story?
Just as Pofil questioned Li Xiaofeng's rhetoric, Li Xiaofeng can also question the rhetoric of the U.S. government, and even logically the U.S. government's rhetoric is even more flawed. It is even more difficult to justify itself.
Of course, there is no point in dwelling on these things, and Li Xiaofeng's original intention in holding a press conference was not to ask the Americans for an explanation, because that is impossible, anyway, the US government will finally be able to prevaricate by just finding an excuse, such as a miscarriage, for example, a rookie pilot who is unfamiliar with the terrain, or simply a mechanical failure. That's what people say, what can you do?
Anyway, this is a cannon, to put it bluntly, it is nonsense, so at the end Li Xiaofeng added: "In the past, the Soviet government chose to exercise restraint in line with the obligations of the allies and did not want to destroy the unity between the allies, but some countries did not understand the good intentions of the Soviet government at all, and even intensified their efforts to spread rumors." So today, we can only tell the truth of all this, and believe that the eyes of the people of the world will be clear......"
The purpose of Li Xiaofeng's press conference is to get rid of the passivity of the Soviet Union, although the evidence given is not enough to crucify the Americans, but it is enough to get rid of the passivity of being attacked by public opinion, and now it is the turn of the Americans to have a headache about public opinion, and they must quickly think of an excuse to get through, otherwise they will really be sprayed badly.
As for Li Xiaofeng, after doing all this, he patted his ass and left. The next thing is nothing more than a step back and a low-key ending, and the international political arena is so realistic.
However, Li Xiaofeng can pat his ass and leave, but the British and Americans are really not so easy, the power of public opinion backlash is amazing, you don't see all the major news of the harmonious country in the future generations, you have to let the news fly for a while, don't rush to conclusions, otherwise it is easy to be slapped in the face.
Of course, Britain and the United States are not just busy cleaning up the aftermath and explaining, they are also doing another very important job, through the reporter to get the photos that were published by Li Xiaofeng, they sent the best researchers to analyze.
"Most of the photos are meaningless, just ordinary houses, but these three are highly suspicious." The analyst explained to Roosevelt and Churchill 1510: "A large number of construction vehicles and construction workers appear in this photo, and according to the analysis of vegetation and terrain, it is indeed a large-scale earthwork work on such a desert island on Novaya Zemlya, which is very unusual and highly suspicious!" ”
"Look at this one again, this should be a port, it should also be on Novaya Zemlya, judging from the situation in the port, the Soviet Union has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, if it is not for any high-priority projects, with the current economic capacity of the Soviet Union, it is unlikely that such a large investment will be made in wartime!"
"As for this last one, to be honest, we are more confused, the personnel in the photo are wearing chemical protective clothing, and the vehicle is also being disinfected, it seems to be a drill? What is even more noteworthy is the huge iron tower at the end of the photo, which is 300 meters high. ”
Both Churchill and Roosevelt were lost in thought, and the aerial photo examiners in both countries came to similar conclusions. It can be assumed that the Soviet Union was indeed engaged in some kind of highly classified project on Novaya Zemlya, a project so important to the Soviet Union that even when the wartime economy was very tight, ****** was willing to invest in it.
Anyway, after analyzing and analyzing, the Soviet Union may have indeed made a breakthrough in nuclear engineering, otherwise there would be no need to make a big move on Novaya Zemlya.
"We still have too little information to piece together the truth from this scaly claw thing. The reason why the cunning Russians showed us these pictures is probably to make us continue to speculate wildly about the real progress of their nuclear project. ”
This was Roosevelt's conclusion, and Churchill's conclusion was even more terrifying, when he asked Learvin: "Is it possible that these pictures are fake, and they were all concocted by the KGB to mislead us?" After all, according to the last contact with the American pilots, they did drop the reconnaissance camera, and it is unlikely that these photos were taken by them! ”
Learvin thought for a moment and said, "You mean, these photos are used by the KGB to mislead us, they want us to think that their nuclear program has made significant progress, otherwise there is no need to make a big move." But in reality they haven't made much progress, and all this is just a prop to scare us? ”
Churchill took a hard puff on his cigar and said solemnly: "It's very likely, isn't this in line with your profile of the intelligence chief of the KGB?" Isn't that person always good at playing with such tactics? If he concocted all this, it all makes sense! ”
It seems that Churchill was more inclined to conclude that the Soviet Union had made little progress, but Learvine could not fully agree with this conclusion, and although she had similar speculations, she believed that someone was not so easy to see through, and if you thought you had seen through his tricks, the result would be that you would be fooled by him again.
So she replied: "I think there is too little intelligence in my life now, and no matter what conclusions are drawn on this basis, it is unreliable, we should still strengthen the investigation, obtain more clues, and then make a judgment!" (To be continued.) )
