Chapter 110 The First Nuclear Blackmail
Men can have guns, but they can't live without guns. This mentality is exactly the true portrayal of President Truman.
Even Truman felt a little regretful, why the Potsdam Conference went so smoothly, and most of the issues were discussed, leaving him useless now, and he no longer felt anxious about the Soviet Union's start of war against Japan.
However, such a big event as the Potsdam Conference occupies the headlines of newspapers in various countries every day, and the progress of each day is known to the whole world. All that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and there is nothing he can do now.
In order for the Soviet Union to participate in the war, the United States also sold a lot of national interests to the Soviet Union like Britain.
Now that he has a nuclear bomb in his hand, he feels that he is full of confidence, but he can directly turn against Stalin under the witness of the whole world. For a politician, the risk is still very high.
Especially in the United States now, the United States must show a higher sense of morality than other countries in order to buy people's hearts, take over world hegemony from Britain and France, and complete the task of suppressing the Soviet Union by the way.
The idea is simple, but it takes time to adjust slowly to achieve all this. Domestic consensus and public opinion support are indispensable. Truman, who became president, did not want to be swiped in the world's media for the first time. A ruthless face appeared.
Truman is still young, if he is the king of the 21st century, he will definitely not have so many worries.
For various reasons, it was impossible for Truman to overturn the previous resolution, but it was still possible to find an occasion to give Stalin a blow. Truman's gaze hidden behind the lens was full of eagerness to try.
Before the meeting, Truman was very excited when he saw Stalin and Churchill, as if a young child suddenly saw his favorite idol and forgot that he was now one of the three giants.
But now, with a nuclear bomb in his hand, an unprecedented weapon, Truman thinks he can move back to the game.
After all, Potsdam is in the Soviet-occupied area of Germany. When the Potsdam Conference was in progress, most of the supplies were provided by the Soviet Union. Stalin himself held many state banquets for Churchill and Truman. Of course, the British representative was replaced by a new prime minister. Attlee.
As various topics have been discussed, the tense atmosphere among the representatives of various countries has gradually relaxed, and the Soviet Union's state banquets have become more frequent, which seems to be to celebrate the upcoming victory.
In the evening, Cecilline Hof Palace was brightly lit. The three giants, Stalin, Truman, and Attlee, as well as the British adviser Churchill, were all present. The previous negotiating opponents clinked glasses to show friendship and solidarity.
Alan Wilson didn't avoid eating too much. Since it was provided by the enemy, the Soviet Union, he was impolite. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fortseva among the Soviet crowd.
It has to be said that although Fultseva is in her thirties, she still looks outstanding standing there, with a feeling of standing out from the crowd. Before that, several American diplomats who wanted to be flies were kept away.
"Heh, Americans! Even if I go to a place where there are only orangutans, I don't doubt that Americans will have a cross-species exchange." Alan Wilson whispered to Eifel, causing the latter to chuckle.
"Alan, why don't you try it?" Eifel said in a provocative tone, "Let the American bumpkins know that the gentlemen in the British Empire are definitely different from them."
Alan Wilson took a deep look at the vicious vanguard who insulted the law, and wished that the other party would have a place in the embassy in France as soon as possible, but he straightened up and walked towards the Soviets, "Dear lady, you are so impressive Fascinated, I've seen several Americans fall for you."
Fultseva didn't want to talk to Alan Wilson at first, but she couldn't be too stiff on this occasion, so she could only smile and chat with Alan Wilson,
Among the British representative crowd where Eifel was, there was a burst of laughter as a cheer for Alan Wilson.
On the other side, Truman found an opportunity to carry out his first blackmail in his presidential career. The target was Stalin, who has great prestige in the hearts of people all over the world. Generalissimo, let me tell you a secret, we have created a new type of bomb. This bomb is unusual, and its destructive power is unimaginable."
Truman spoke about Stalin's military rank, and then said something like this. Faced with the first nuclear blackmail in human history, Stalin's face remained unchanged, but he already knew the fact that the nuclear test was successful, and smiled sincerely. , "That should use him on the Japanese and end the war as soon as possible."
Truman was taken aback, smiled wryly and shook his head to look at Churchill. Maybe Stalin didn't know the power of the nuclear bomb at all, so how could he expect him to be surprised?
These two idiots! A trace of contempt flashed in Stalin's eyes. Although he was calm on the surface, he was sure that Truman was blackmailing him just now. Seeing that Truman was no longer the respectful look he had at the beginning of the meeting, he understood that the United States had changed now, and at the same time he was grateful for the Soviet Union. The war against Japan has already begun.
Alan Wilson, who already had some experience with tool people, naturally didn't know about the confrontation between the heads of state. He was still circling around Fultseva, "I believe that the friendship between our countries will not change in the past two years. Yes, don't you know that Miss Fultseva knows about England?"
"Ms. Vivien Leigh is very well-known in the Soviet Union." Foltseva thought about it for a while, and seemed to think of something at once. "If I really have the opportunity to meet her, I believe I will be very excited."
Before the war, Vivien Leigh and Oliver both starred in Mrs. Hamilton, a film that was well received in the United States and a success in the Soviet Union, where Fultseva had seen it.
It is worthy of being the Minister of Culture, after all, it is still labeled as our bank. Although he thought so in his heart, Alan Wilson nodded in approval and said, "If one day the lady comes to the UK, I believe Vivien Leigh would also be very willing to meet you. It might be a joy between our two countries."
The two little shrimps who had a good talk naturally didn't know that when they were talking about cultural matters, the first nuclear blackmail in human history had already appeared. If Alan Wilson knew, he would not regret not seeing the famous scene. The nuclear bomb It doesn't necessarily make him bow his head, and neither does Maomei, so the formula is probably that one nuclear bomb equals one Maomei.
The Potsdam Conference has come to an end, and the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union have begun to draft a communiqué, which will be announced in a few days.
