British Civil Servant

Chapter 81: whose question is this

General Patton's idea is very simple. Now that the United States has a huge advantage, there is no need to talk to the Soviets at all. When you have this kind of advantage, you should go all out and join forces with Britain and France to continue to destroy the Soviet Union eastward, so that the world will fall into the hands of the United States and its allies, to be precise, the United States.

In this way, the United States will also realize the clear destiny that it has always pursued, and fulfill the prediction of the American century.

However, there are now indications that the United States seems to be satisfied with the current progress and wants to coexist peacefully with the Soviet Union. This is something that General Patton cannot understand. Now that there are armies from all over the world, the United States has a great advantage. If the Soviet Union is not solved now, it will be even more troublesome in the future.

When such an opportunity appeared, General Patton did not have to think about it at all, and directly ordered his troops to clear the passage and let these Tito opponents from Yugoslavia enter Bavaria. A storm in the eyes of others was directly placed on General Patton, who had hoped that the war would break out again. All smiles.

From the night of June 24th to the daytime of June 25th, the radio waves traveling back and forth over Europe showed that Europe at this time was not as peaceful as it seemed.

As General Patton took in this team of more than 200,000 people, there were several basic reactions from all parties.

In the city of Greater Berlin, under the rising sun, Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges was walking back and forth in the garden in front of his residence. Alexander Cadogan, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, had just entered the garden and mentioned the latest progress on the refugee crossing.

"Oh, hehe!" Edward Bridges' indifferent face flashed a hint of schadenfreude, but he immediately turned serious, and said from a third party's perspective, "American cowboys are so brave, which means that this is the The problem of the Americans has nothing to do with our British Empire, we just tried to persuade the refugees with goodwill at best, but in the end it was unsuccessful, I can’t say how much credit it has, but there is definitely no fault.”

"Of course there is no fault. Everyone knows that there are only two battalions in Austria. On the contrary, there are 100,000 soldiers of the Soviet Red Army. Only the Soviets can stop this matter, and we do not have the ability to do so. Therefore, the problem of refugees crossing the border is due to the lack of Soviet people. It has nothing to do with us in the UK from the beginning to the end, but the Americans finally accepted it." Alexander Cadogan sternly distanced himself from the relationship, "It is the truth."

"Don't be in a hurry to put the hat on the Soviets. Since this is a problem between the Soviets and the Americans, let's see how they can solve it. If necessary, we can act as a bridge between them." Edward Brie Chis pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you going to say about the domestic report and telegram."

"This is an isolated incident that happened by chance, and on the eve of the upcoming summit, it is an excellent opportunity for our diplomats to test their abilities." Alexander Cadogan showed the professionalism of a secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Edward Bridges nodded satisfactorily and said, "Just reply like this. From the perspective of the parties, we have the most comfortable capital, whether it is the Americans or the Soviets who come to protest or seek support first. Well, the first thing we have to do is be patient."

By the time General Patton finally ordered the shelter, the core of the discussion among the countries that learned of the situation was who it was.

There is no doubt that Yugoslavia, the country directly responsible, must be the most direct victim. More than 200,000 opposition soldiers who were soldiers before fled the country and found a place to be taken in. Tito has enough reasons to denounce it.

However, the voice of Yugoslavia can be ignored. At least Edward Bridges does not think Yugoslavia's response is very important. In fact, London has already started to take in some Yugoslav Fatherland Army forces, but the scale is not so large.

Now that people are looking for Americans, that's even better! It also saved the troubles that would arise later in the British Empire.

In the eyes of Edward Bridges, this is an American problem, and has nothing to do with the British Empire. As for how the Americans will deal with this matter, we will see later.

Whose question is this? Now this issue is also the focus of debate in the Kremlin. After Beria reported the incident, he said angrily, "There is no doubt that this is an imperialist conspiracy."

"Is that so? Comrade Molotov?" Stalin smiled when he heard Beria's words, his eyes fell on Molotov and said, "At present, it is certain that Comrade Tito must be in a bad mood right now. ."

"I think so too, Comrade Stalin." Molotov said with a smile, "now Yugoslavia definitely needs the support of the Soviet Union urgently to denounce imperialism. In fact, from our point of view, this is a A good thing."

Stalin nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with this answer, and made his own decision~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This is undoubtedly the interference of imperialism in the internal affairs of Yugoslavia. Morally, the Soviet Union will definitely stand on the side of Yugoslavia, right I will denounce this kind of hostility, but I will negotiate with Churchill and Truman at the Potsdam Conference for the sake of the overall situation that the world war is not over yet. "

The meaning is very clear. Stalin will not destroy the Potsdam Conference that has been decided because of the refugee cross-border issue this time. On the contrary, he will uphold justice for Yugoslavia at the Potsdam Conference.

Molotov knew in his heart that Stalin was actually happy to see the embarrassment of the rebellious Tito, and even applauded for this sudden incident, but he would not say it on the surface.

If a large number of opposition parties in the Soviet Union fled to the American territory, then Stalin would certainly use this Potsdam Conference this time to put pressure on the United States to bring the opposition over.

But this is a matter of Yugoslavia. Stalin's condemnation at the Potsdam Conference was purely moral. To be honest, he wished that these oppositions would not come back. As long as these oppositions existed, Tito would not dare to be too disrespectful to the Soviet Union.

Molotov, who left the Kremlin, prepared two statements, welcoming the upcoming Potsdam Conference, and the statement sent to Belgrade, from Tito's point of view, thought it was a subversion of the new Yugoslavia, what? The hostility of imperialism, what kind of class feelings, they don't need money anyway.

Later, Alexander Cadogan came to Edward Bridges again with the Soviet statement.

"As I said, now this is an American problem, and the Soviets maintain the right to condemn." Edward Bridges was completely relieved, and sometimes the bullet should really fly for a while.
