v1 Chapter 103: Iran Question

Trying to get the Soviet Union to restore Austria to its original state can of course be understood as asking the Soviet Union to make concessions in the current environment. On the issue of Iran, the UK's proposition is to maintain the status quo, and as for the issue of Turkey, it is used to betray. One win, one draw and one loss is what Britain needs to achieve now.

As before, the formal negotiation and the black box operation were carried out at the same time. This time, Alan Wilson and Fortseva changed places and went to the western occupation area of ​​Greater Berlin. , the two strolled like a couple.

But in fact, Alan Wilson, who represented the United Kingdom, and Fortseva, who represented the Soviet Union, had just let go of their hostility. There was no other idea at all. Alan Wilson felt that there must be Soviet agents paying attention to them. As for why No British agents? Good question because Alan Wilson is British and can't speak ill of his own country.

Finding a restaurant that had just opened but had few local customers, Alan Wilson, with a petty-bourgeois smugness, invited Furtseva to lunch.

"I said Ms. Fortseva, do you think I will do something to the members of the Soviet delegation?" Alan Wilson said, as if hesitating to see Fortseva, "everything you and I do Someone was watching, even though I didn't have the expertise to know where they were."

"Then you brought me to the occupied area in the west." Fortseva muttered with dissatisfaction, and she would definitely ask for some questions when she went back.

Alan Wilson is well aware of this. The censorship in the Soviet Union is very strict. The reason why the West has doubts about the countries of the Soviet system is that it is essentially a new society, and people think about issues completely different.

As for thinking that your own system is stronger than the other party's, and you want to make the other party better, forget it, an obvious lie.

If the Soviet Union is really bad, the West will not deliberately trouble the Soviet Union. When has the United States tried to trouble Africa? They are all complimenting each other's original ecology.

As a British civil servant with a lot of money and billions of dollars, Alan Wilson doesn't mind personal gains or losses. It doesn't matter if the purpose of the country can be achieved, and it doesn't matter if he sacrifices some of his own money.

"I believe that these days, the Soviet comrades are very happy that our new prime minister and foreign minister have come to Potsdam." Alan Wilson, holding a knife and fork, asked with good etiquette.

This etiquette was not learned by Alan Wilson from a noble birth, but when he arrived in British India. The civil servants of British India seem to have found the feeling of the nobility of the British Empire in front of the Indians, and the red tape is even more serious than that of the native nobility.

As for the Soviet comrades, this is not Alan Wilson's slip of the tongue, but the use of this term to name the inner thoughts of the Soviets.

"When in opposition, the Labour Party may not take into account being said to be a pro-Soviet force. But as the ruling party, the angle of consideration has changed. I hope the Soviet side will not make a mistake in this judgment. Whether it is Mr. Churchill or Prime Minister Attlee, They all serve the British Empire." Alan Wilson finished his opening remarks in a few words.

Pouring a glass of wine for Furtseva, Alan Wilson took the initiative to touch a glass with Da Maomei and said, "Congratulations to the Soviet Red Army for the smooth progress in the Far East, let's toast for the early end of the war. Maybe after the war is over, we won't have this chance. Celebrated."

During the war, several countries could tolerate the filth of each other because of other threats. Once the war is over, a new round of confrontation will come immediately, nothing more than when it will officially start.

Before the Iron Curtain Speech, the United States and the Soviet Union had already disliked each other, but they were not on the table.

From a personal point of view, Alan Wilson hopes that the Soviet Union will successfully occupy Hokkaido, so that the United States and the Soviet Union will have one more point of struggle to ease the pressure on the European side.

This may be a celebration of Alan Wilson and Fortseva who are not many allies. After clinking glasses, Alan Wilson raised three questions for the new prime minister. The Soviet Union must lift the entire occupation of Austria. The army will be stationed in Austria, and the British and the Soviet Union must immediately reduce the size of their troops in Iran.

The third point is the issue of the Dardanelles. The UK is most concerned about the issue of Iran. During World War II, the Soviet Union and the UK entered the northern and southern parts of Iran respectively according to the agreement, and this is the traditional sphere of influence of both sides.

During World War II, the Soviet Union had already carried out oil exploration work in northeastern Iran. These oil fields were connected to Azerbaijan of the Soviet Union in the northwest of Iran, and connected to Turkmenistan of the Soviet Union in the northeastern part of Iran. An official agreement was reached.

"According to the previous agreement, our two countries will withdraw from Iran before the end of the year~lightnovelpub.net~ We should consider the withdrawal of troops now." Alan Wilson still took the initiative to state the British conditions.

"What if we don't want to?" After taking a sip of wine, Fortseva's fair face was a little red, but she was not confused by the alcohol.

"This will make Prime Minister Attlee have doubts about the intentions of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson said meaningfully, "I can guess what will happen next without asking for any instructions. The British Empire will join the Pahlavi Dynasty to invite the US military. Enter Iran and put pressure on the Soviet Union together. The final result may be three, together with the three countries of the United States to withdraw at the same time, Iran becomes a neutral country. The second and three countries conflict in Iran, and the third confrontation consumes everyone's energy for a period of time, and finally at the same time Evacuate. No matter which of the three outcomes above, the ultimate beneficiary is the United States.”

"It seems that you are very willing to give your interests to the Americans." Fortseva giggled, "When did Britain become so generous?"

"Blood is thicker than water. Intellectually, we certainly don't want to cheap the United States, but if we have to choose between the United States and the Soviet Union, we must choose the United States with our eyes closed." Alan Wilson said with a cold face and resentment, "If the status quo is maintained. , and the interests of Great Britain and the Soviet Union, if the situation I am talking about arises, the Soviet Union and Great Britain will get nothing."

"Withdrawing troops for nothing? Mr. Allen may be joking. What can I do to compensate?" Fortseva was silent for a moment and started to fight back. It was the British who asked for the door, and there must be a quid pro quo.

Alan Wilson opened his mouth and wanted to say no, but finally said, "Regarding the issue of the right of passage in the Dardanelles, if the Soviet Union publicly promises to fulfill the previous agreement and withdraw its troops from Iran. The right of passage in the Dardanelles. , the British Empire is willing to help the Soviet Union win."
