Learvin had been following the Soviet Union's reaction to the unrest in the Caucasus, and she wondered how a certain immortal would have responded to the crisis, and if the way to deal with it was right, she wouldn't mind learning to deal with the Jews.

Li Erwen's idea is very simple, that is, to follow the cat and the tiger, if you have a way to break the situation, then I will follow up, otherwise, you will have the same headache as Lao Tzu!

To be honest, Learvin genuinely hoped that a certain immortal could bring something different, and it would be better to have a new strategy or new method. But soon she was disappointed, because her men reported to her:

"The Soviets quelled the rebellion in the simplest and most direct way, killing all the rebels and their sympathizers by force, without negotiating, compromising or even refusing to engage. The rebels we supported either surrendered or were exterminated......"

Learwin frowned, because it didn't look like someone's style, it was too simple and crude, but like those rude polar bears, someone should be more clever and imaginative.

"What else?" Learvin asked with a hint of luck.

"In addition to this, the Supreme Presidium of the Soviet Union adopted a new Act on the Guarantee of Freedom of Religion, which provided for the temporary implementation of a more liberal religious policy in the Caucasus, that only legal adults could enter churches or mosques, that clergy must be appointed by the Soviet Government in order to be missionary, and that all clergy should not preach in public places and that they should not preach to minors......"

Li Erwen was stunned, because this was quite a high-pressure policy, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the Soviet government deliberately died, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "That group of madmen in the Caucasus just accept it? ”

"They really don't want to take it, but ......"

"But what?"

"But the Soviet government imposed this law by force, and anyone who violated it was arrested. Either exile near the Siberian Polar Circle, or be shot as a traitor! ”

"And no one will resist?" Learwin's eyes widened and he asked.

"Yes, the resistance is still fierce. Especially those ******, they just exploded. However, their strength was too weak, and the Russians had premeditated and quickly eliminated those who dared to confront them directly. ”

"It's temporary!" Li Erwen said happily. "The Russians conquered the Caucasus by force before, and now they want to rule the Caucasus by force, this is a dream! It's our turn to take action, to intensify the incitement of the ******, to increase assistance to them, to be quick, to let the fire of the Caucasus burn! ”

Learvine was excited, and she thought that the Russians had made a mistake, as long as the British Empire increased its funding for the rebels. Another round of reactionary international public opinion offensive would be enough to make the Soviet Union anxious. It's just that what Li Ervin didn't expect was that the Soviet Union instead sued the wicked people first.

While she was still nervously formulating relevant plans to finance and incite the rebels, the Soviet authorities sent an official note to the British ambassador and made solemn representations, demanding that Britain stop interfering in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union and stop giving any form of support to traitors who colluded with the Nazis.

"What does that mean?" Learvine was amused, and Churchill said solemnly: "This means that the Russians know everything we do!" ”

Learwin replied contemptuously, "What's the point?" We also know all about their actions in Palestine, so what's the use? ”

said. Learwin sneered again: "Do the Russians think that they can fool the public opinion of the whole world by casually charging those rebels with a crime?" This is simply childish! ”

Churchill frowned: "No, it's you who is naïve. Yes. The whole world knows this is, but if the Soviet Union says it will not cooperate and reconsider the relationship with the Allies, it will mean very much. Do you know that the Soviet ****** has made it clear that if we do not give an explanation on the Caucasus problem. They will not participate in the Cairo meeting. Moreover, just a day earlier, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union had made contact with the Japanese ambassador, who, according to inside sources, had expressed its willingness to end the state of confrontation with Japan and hoped that Japan would act as an intermediary in making peace with Germany. Do you know what that means? ”

Learvin immediately woke up, it is obvious that this is the Soviet Union is sending a signal, telling Britain unmistakably, if you don't stop on the Caucasus issue, then the Soviet Union will withdraw from the allies, if the conditions are good enough, then directly shake hands with the Axis countries, you go slowly! The USSR is no longer playing!

"This should be just a shameful blackmail, and the Soviet Union will not necessarily dare to do this." Learvine said.

Churchill gave her a blank look and said angrily: "Can you guarantee it? Can you convince the upper and lower houses to agree with you? In the eyes of those parliamentarians, the Russians have a criminal record, and they slipped away halfway through the first war, and this time it can be! ”

Learvine stopped talking, but Churchill still had something to say: "American friends have also expressed a considerable degree of concern, and they have asked us not to create divisions within the alliance and to refrain from doing so!" ”

Learwin scolded in a low voice: "Damn Yankee, you know how to pull back your legs!" Then she looked at Churchill and asked, "You are asking me to suspend my operation in the Caucasus!" ”

Churchill looked at her with a straight look and said with certainty: "Yes, I ask you to stop all operations in the Caucasus, nominally, and not to continue to do so under the banner of the British Empire." Do you understand? ”

Learwin immediately gave me an expression that I understood, and Churchill said with satisfaction: "Do it cleverly, don't tell the Russians the truth anymore!" ”

Learvin assured: "I will make sure you are satisfied!" Then she asked, "What about international public opinion?" Do you want more? ”

"That aspect is suspended, you can have a few news pieces condemning the Soviet Union every once in a while, but don't make the momentum too big and targeted, just keep the public's attention to it!"

Learvine left the Prime Minister's House satisfied, and it was really a pleasure for her to have such an empathetic boss as Churchill, a big boss who understood all the unspoken rules and tricks, and was full of flexibility, which was not at all comparable to those old bureaucrats.

Learvin knew that the struggle in the Caucasus would continue, though not with as much fanfare as before. Then Chiguoguo's targeting of the Soviet Union, but the knife will not stop. And she vowed to let someone teach her how good she was.

It's just that Li Erwen didn't know that Li Xiaofeng responded violently at the British Empire's response: "The British are really not as good as a year after a year, and they will retract half a year after a little scare, and they didn't have such cowardice back then!" ”

"That doesn't mean they're cowardly, is it? They're still behind the scenes! Yakov said.

"Don't you understand?" Li Xiaofeng smiled, "What the British are best at is not conspiracy. It's Yangmou, and they have always used Yangmou to rule the world for two hundred years. And now they don't dare to do it openly, which shows that their strength has declined very much, and Yang Mou can't afford to use it anymore! ”

Yakov still didn't understand the difference, and Li Xiaofeng could only continue to explain: "Yang Mou is an attitude that can tell the world that the British Empire is not afraid of any attack, and can defeat it with a frontal counterattack. The conspiracy is to avoid a head-on confrontation, which is tantamount to telling the world that the British Empire is very jealous of the Soviet Union and is unwilling to confront the Soviet Union head-on. So they only dare to secretly engage in ghosts. Do you think the difference is small? ”

Li Xiaofeng laughed and said: "This is tantamount to telling the world that Britain is no longer able to do its job, and it can no longer protect the interests of those friends who eat and drink with the British Empire." It is tantamount to telling them that the British Empire can only sacrifice their interests as a last resort or necessity. Do you think those friends have any other ideas? ”

Only then did Yakov realize that the real purpose of a certain immortal was to undermine the prestige of Britain in the eyes of his followers, so as to indirectly establish the prestige of the Soviet Union. Yakov was well aware that the British Empire was in the twilight. But the aftermath is still there, and any challenger must understand. This kind of residual power is still quite powerful, and if you don't get it right, you will suffer.

So the right way is to invisibly consume the British aftermath, when the weakness of Britain is exposed more and more quickly, when the challenger's provocation is not punished or the punishment is very small, this aftermath will not frighten people.

For example, the Soviet Union had previously carried out a very successful series of provocations, and Britain had lost a lot of points on the Jewish question. And in the next counterattack, he was bluffed by the Soviet Union again, and he retreated half a step in the situation of taking advantage of the reason. Even a half-step can make the wallgrass in this world see a lot of things.

For example, Li Xiaofeng had always asked the Bulgarian and Greek churches to stir up trouble in the direction of Turkey, and it was better to create some big disputes so that the Soviet Union could intervene. But these grandsons always felt that the British were tigers, which was terrible. When the Soviet Red Army did not enter the territory of the two countries, it did not dare to move. And after this round of confrontation, even if they were still very jealous of the British, they dared to make a move.

Soon a round of religious demonstrations and protests broke out in Istanbul, with crowds of Orthodox Christians taking to the streets to protest against ****** murder of Orthodox Christians in the Caucasus, demanding that ****** extremists immediately stop their crimes and apologize.

This round of religious demonstrations is quite unusual, first of all, the place and the people who broke out, and it is only right that Armenian and Azerbaijani Orthodox Christians should have acted first. What are the Orthodox Christians in Turkey making a fuss about?

Even more surprisingly, Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria and Greece soon took to the streets to protest against the government's perpetuation ****** persecution of their brothers and sisters. This shattered glasses all over the world, or inexplicably.

Among them, the Bulgarian rulers and the German Nazis were shocked, originally they thought that the protest demonstration was aimed at themselves, but who would have thought that it was actually in solidarity with the so-called "parishioners" thousands of miles away, this reflex arc is too long!

And to the dismay of the Bulgarian rulers and the Germans, this gang of goods is still speaking for the USSR, which is simply unbearable! And just when they were trying to suppress the protests, a new slot emerged - in front of the Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul, bloody clashes broke out between Orthodox Christians and ******, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.

This is too much fun, and it directly leads to extremely tense situations in Turkey, especially in Istanbul, where the religious confrontation situation is quite serious, so to speak, it only takes a spark to detonate.

This sudden situation focused the world's attention on Istanbul, and the Soviet Union was the first to speak out, and the Soviet government expressed great concern about the conflict and called on the world to pay attention to the survival of Orthodox Christians - because of the recent emergence of a force dedicated to provoking religious conflicts. The British government is responsible for the spearhead of creating conflicts between ethnic groups in the first place!

Churchill was furious that the Soviets poured the first basin of dirty water on Niu Niu, and he retorted while asking his own think tank to assess the possible impact of the religious conflict in Istanbul and who had instigated it.

The British analysis is simple and straightforward. The spearhead was immediately directed at the Soviet Union. As the Soviet Union entered the stage of a full-scale counteroffensive, especially with the Red Army entering Bulgaria, the long-cherished wish of the Russians to seize the strait, which had been dreamed of for thousands of years, may have once again emerged.

Churchill agreed, because for hundreds of years, especially in the last 100 years, the Russians have coveted the Black Sea straits and have always tried to get their hands on them. And Britain naturally obstructed this in every way, and this time the British Empire really seemed powerless in this direction. It is quite possible that the Russians took advantage of the fire to loot.

"Can you tell me what the Russians will do next?" Churchill asked.

"It is clear that the contradictions will be exacerbated, and as soon as the Red Army occupies Bulgaria, the Russians will most likely advance in the direction of the strait!"

"So what can we do to stop this?"

"Turkey should be supported, Turkey must be allowed to resist, now only the Turks can stop the Russians, and they are more willing to do so than the Turks."

Churchill nodded, and for the time being it seemed that the Turks were the only hope. Churchill, however, was reluctant to give Turkey explicit support, at least not explicitly. Because the Turks are not good at stubble, the last time in the thirties they took advantage of the appearance of Germany, Italy and other-stirring sticks, the Turks were quite dishonest and pulled back a game on the strait issue. Now it's time for Turkey to pay a little interest.

Churchill decided not to give Turkey any support for the first time, so that it could fully feel the pressure of the Soviet Union, and when the pressure of the Soviet Union was strong enough. The Turks will naturally be honest and will obediently kneel and beg.

Learvine asked, "If the Turks were pushed over to the side of the Axis powers, wouldn't it be wonderful?" ”

Churchill laughed: "The Turks are not so stupid, and even if this worst situation arises, it is the Russians who have the most headaches." It is not very harmful to our interests. ”

With Churchill putting the nail on the head. The British chose to sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight for the time being, and for a time the bloody clashes in the Istanbul area intensified, and they were moving quickly towards a situation that was out of control. Until the Turks finally couldn't take it anymore, they began to openly accuse the USSR of interfering in their internal affairs, demanding that the USSR immediately stop this "despicable" act, otherwise they will bear the consequences!

Turkey put a mouth cannon, they thought they could scare off the Soviet Union, after all, the Soviet Union was tearing up with the Axis at this time, and it should not want a fire in the backyard. But what the Turks did not expect was that the Soviet response was extremely strong.

"The Turkish government has not only been enslaving and abusing Orthodox Christians in its territory, but has also been creating bloodshed in the Caucasus, including secretly financing ****** extremists and conniving at and shielding them for a long period of bloodshed on Soviet soil. And now it is even more back-hitting, threatening and intimidating the Soviet people. The Soviet people will never be afraid of the threat of the enemy, and if Turkey wants war, then the Soviet people will give you war! ”

This statement almost did not scare Turkey, because the Soviet Union was so tough, and at the same time as announcing this life, the Soviet Union redeployed three army groups on the Turkish border, looking like a tiger's eye.

Not to mention that the Turks were taken aback, Churchill was also taken aback, he found himself a little underestimating the determination and madness of the Russians, how would the allies react to the declaration of war on Turkey on his side? Is it a response or a non-response?

Responding to this would be tantamount to pushing Turkey into the Axis powers, which would have a comprehensive impact on the Empire's layout and policy in the Middle East. If it doesn't respond, the Soviet Union won't do it, and if Lao Maozi withdraws from the allies and negotiates peace with the Axis powers, then the fun will be greater.

Churchill knew that his previous strategy of sitting back and watching the tiger had been wrong, and that it had to be corrected immediately. So he immediately flew to Moscow to personally negotiate with Trotsky and act as an intermediary in the easing of relations between Turkey and the Soviet Union. On the other hand, he also sent the foreign secretary to Turkey, which was very intimidating Turkey, and then said that if Turkey accepted British mediation, then Britain was also willing to protect Turkey's interests, and also said that Britain would not let Russia do whatever it wanted.

This mediation consumed a lot of Churchill's energy, and the effect cannot be said to be very good, and the attitude of the Soviet side was very tough, and it was certain that Turkey should stop continuing its provocations in the direction of the Caucasus and Istanbul. And the Turks also shouted injustice, believing that the Soviet Union had nothing to do. Anyway, both sides are kicking the ball, and it's. And this state of ripping lasted until August 29, 1943.

On this day, the news of Boris III's death spread all over the world, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Patriotic Party, on the one hand, spread the news to the world, and on the other hand, launched an armed coup d'état, taking control of the capital Sofia, with the support of the airborne troops of the Soviet Red Army, and taking control of Boris III's family and other important ministers. The next day, the Orthodox Patriotic Party announced the end of the rule of Boris III and his family over Bulgaria and the official withdrawal of Bulgaria from the Axis powers...... (To be continued.) )
