v1 Chapter 391: A meeting that dismantles each other

This is not Alan Wilson's own assertion, but that the United States could not say it by itself, and officially blocked the way for the Soviet Union to join the Marshall Plan through the mouth of the British.

He is just following the American script, but the difference is that as a tool man, he also has emotions. When Alan Wilson spoke, his hostility to the Soviet Union was very obvious. It was simply Churchill himself. speech.

It also expressed distrust of Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Finland. Of course, this cannot be too straightforward to express the attitude of wanting to kick these four countries out.

Therefore, Finland, the soft persimmon among these four countries, was selected by Alan Wilson to focus on criticizing. There are two main reasons for choosing Finland. First, Finland is not a country with the Soviet system, and it is relatively less psychologically burdensome to criticize.

The second is that, although Finland is not a country with the Soviet system, it is now obedient to the Soviet Union. It is more suitable to be used as a target. Sacrificing it can also show the solemn position of the British Empire and pretend that it is still very influential.

"Finnishization is an outcome that all free countries in Europe must try to avoid." Alan Wilson shouted loudly, expressing earnestly to the representatives of many countries that they must protect their sovereignty and not be taken by the Soviets.

Finnishization is basically a derogatory term for the policy decisions of a weak country with almost no bottom line at the behest of a powerful neighbor. Similar to the relationship between Finland and the Soviet Union.

Although this term was invented by the conservatives of the Federal Republic of Germany to prevent Brandt's Eastern Policy after he came to power, it was still early, but it is not unreasonable for Alan Wilson to say it at this time," Manner said. Why Heim left Finland is something that all countries of the free world should be wary of."

In the next half hour, Alan Wilson lashed out at the Soviet Union for Finnishization. The most direct evidence is Mannerheim's forced departure from Finland.

Alan Wilson also doesn't want to put salt in Finland's wounds, given the choice.

But other countries are the Soviet Union, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. How could someone like him who bully the soft and fear the hard really dare to imitate Churchill and point fingers at the countries with the Soviet system, so he can only work hard in Finland.

The fire was focused on Finland for half an hour. As for the Soviet Union, including countries with similar systems, they were all in the ranks of other countries.

The defender of the free world on the surface, but in fact the stern Alan Wilson stepped down from the podium to the applause of most countries, which also set the tone for the exclusion of Eastern Europe.

The aid of the United States is not unlimited, as the French said before taking a common position, the more countries that receive aid, the smaller the amount that reaches each country.

Therefore, after Alan Wilson finished his speech, the French representative Pierre also strongly expressed his support for the British proposition, not only to exclude the four Eastern European countries who came to Paris this time, but also to determine whether the remaining countries are reliable.

Pierre pointed the finger at Italy, saying that the situation in Italy is very worrying. The Italian Communist Party is already the largest party in Italy. If Italy becomes a country of the Soviet model, it should also be excluded from the aid countries.

"The French may have forgotten that the strength of the French Communist Party is only a little worse than that of the Italian Communist Party." When Pierre was speaking, Alan Wilson covered his mouth and secretly followed a colleague next to him, "If Italy cannot If you believe it, France can't be trusted."

"Then shall we revise the opinion of the French? Express reservations?" asked the clerk next to him.

"No, we firmly agree with the attitude of the French. Anyway, it was the French who rejected Italy first, and we, the UK, have no responsibility." Alan Wilson shook his head solemnly. "We just agree with the opinions of the French."

Pierre's attack on Italy was only incidental. In his subsequent speech, he showed that France's attitude can be summarized as the amount of German aid should be reduced.

For the participating countries, this meeting is undoubtedly a brainstorm. It is not easy to act according to the remarks of the representatives of other countries, and it is not an easy task.

Delegates from the Netherlands and Belgium objected to France's claim to restrict Germany. The relationship between the Netherlands and Belgium and Germany is rather complicated, although both have participated in the war against Germany. However, it does not advocate restricting the development of Germany. It is not that Belgium and the Netherlands have also learned the faults of the United Kingdom and played continental equilibrium.

But Belgium and the Netherlands have long been closely linked to Germany's economy. If Germany can prosper, the two countries can also take a ride. Belgium and the Netherlands are also supported by Luxembourg.

As for the attitude towards Italy, because the three countries do not share the same economic ties with Italy, they did not say anything.

The three countries opposed restrictions on the German economy. Alan Wilson supported France from another angle, citing the Italian Communist Party, the largest party in Italy, as the reason, saying that the result of the Italian election should be used as the criterion for whether to provide assistance to Italy.

"We respect democracy the most, and if the Italian Communist Party comes to power in the Italian election, it means that the Italians have made a choice." Alan Wilson spit, "The whole free world is watching, if no one is elected that will make a difference. Convinced parties, the aid package cannot proceed."

The members of the American delegation glanced at each other, applauding the British's remarks, which was actually the case. The Marshall Plan itself was to prevent Europe from falling into the arms of the Soviet Union, and now it seems that the United Kingdom and the United States have a consensus on this point. While this may sound straightforward, it is actually what it is.

If Italy were in power under the Italian Communist Party, the Marshall Plan would have no part in Italy.

Alan Wilson and Pierre Le Mans, on behalf of Britain and France, attacked Italy, which made the Italian representative feel unbearable and sneered on the spot.

"The members of the Axis powers are not qualified to use such despicable means to divide the friendship between the Allies." Alan Wilson sneered with his neck crooked. "Italy should compensate for the loss of the British army in the prisoner of war camp."

"British and American blood is thicker than water, not other countries can make irresponsible remarks."

Members of the British delegation stood up one after another and attacked the Italian representative personally, saying that Italy was fortunately on the side of the Axis and thus contributed to the victory of the Allies.

"Otherwise, Italy will dance with the Soviet Union, at least that way we will know who is right and who is wrong in the choices that affect the future destiny of mankind." Alan Wilson said that his voice was raised an octave, "Victory must be will belong to the free world."

The hall suddenly became noisy, and Alan Wilson was not very worried about whether it was wise to attack Italy with France and push Italy into the arms of the Soviet Union.

Take a ten thousand steps back and say, don't think that there is no US military in Italy, and the Italian Communist Party has really won the election. The United States can also refuse to recognize it. As long as the United States does not recognize it, the United Kingdom will not recognize it and directly start the military intervention mode.

If in the 1950s and 1960s, when all countries had come out of the war and entered a period of prosperity, they interfered in the internal affairs of a major European country and carried out a military invasion, then maybe Europe would be directly bombed, but now? Even getting enough food is a problem. Who cares if the Italians are courting death? Without the material basis, how can there be a white left soil?

When Britain, France and Italy were accusing, connoting, and ridiculing each other, the American delegation was also whispering, commenting on the behavior of the country where the venue was located, "This is the European civilization that many people think in the country? See what it looks like now?"

"A group of beggars with only bright clothes left, look at this picture for the amount of aid, accusing each other, swearing and mocking each other."

At this point, the Americans had to speak to stop the argument, but did not say who was right and who was wrong.

Next, it was the Swedes' turn to express their opinions. The Swedes' attitude was simple. They wanted American assistance, but they did not want to change their neutrality. They reservedly expressed their desire to stand and make money.

The Second World War did not affect Sweden. Sweden has always adhered to the principle of armed neutrality and avoided joining any military alliances, which even had an impact on the history of the United States.

During the American War of Independence, France and Spain declared war on the United States on the side of the United States; at the same time, imperial Russia initiated ~lightnovelpub.net~ Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Prussia, Portugal and other European countries to form an armed neutrality alliance to jointly use naval power for merchant ships Escort and safeguard the rights of a neutral country.

The armed neutrality at that time was actually a solidarity for the independence of the United States, and Sweden has never participated in any military alliance since then.

The first meeting ended in a chaotic environment. The attitudes of the countries were not consistent. France opposed aid to Germany and Italy, and Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg opposed France's proposal to limit Germany's aid.

The United Kingdom partly agrees with France's opinion, saying that Italy is unstable and should not waste money. Also partly agrees with France's position that the Allies deserve more than the Axis members.

The Nordic countries represented by Sweden hope to make money by standing, and the UK and France have the same position on the Eastern European countries. Alan Wilson also used the first Finnish term to express that Eastern European countries are not credible.

After the meeting, the countries at the meeting, including the United States, got in touch with the country to discuss ways after the meeting.

At the same time, countries with similar positions began to exchange information, forming a group of countries. London, Paris, Rome, and Moscow, which seemed to have nothing to do with it, were all discussing countermeasures.
