Chapter 1360 Tacit Understanding Ball

The combat systems of NATO member states have all received interference, not to mention Poland, which was the first to bear the brunt. Warsaw Airport is already under the control of the Soviet Airborne Forces. This time, the Warsaw Pact military organization's combined operations in response to NATO were first applied to Poland.

The main force is of course the Soviet army. The local Soviet army will carry out demilitarization operations against Poland with the cooperation of the Soviet troops stationed in Poland.

To prevent the Polish army from being forced by the bourgeoisie to do something that would please the fraternal socialist countries, that is, to fight against the Soviet army.

At the Warsaw Airport, the airborne troops who occupied the airport immediately contacted the headquarters to say that everything was going well. Afterwards, dozens of transport planes took off and landed at the Warsaw Airport at a rate of one every five minutes. At the same time, the Soviet troops stationed in Poland were dispatched to obstruct Polish troops in various places. Around Poland, 16 divisions of Soviet troops, with 1,000 tanks and 8,000 armored vehicles, were divided into four lines and entered Poland. To the west was The Soviet troops stationed in Germany and the Democratic People's Army of the Democratic Republic of Germany, and the Soviet troops in Belarus are the main ones in the east.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were under command, galloping across the Polish land as if they had been rehearsed thousands of times, while Warsaw was in the eye of the storm and knew nothing about it.

The next morning, the U.S. ambassador to London appeared in Whitehall. As soon as he sat down, he said directly, "Yesterday, the entire territory of Poland was controlled by the troops of the Soviet Union and the Democratic Republic of Germany."

"Huh? How did you know?" Alan Wilson was shocked. He was not surprised that Poland was occupied or how many people died, but that the United States got the news so quickly.

"We received a notice from the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Donald explained calmly, "It is also to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two camps. Even if we don't know now, we will know sooner or later once the embassy contacts Washington. "

Before the Soviet operation began, Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, visited President Lyndon Johnson on his country's instructions. In fact, Johnson already knew it. Dobrynin faced Johnson and U.S. National Security Advisor Rostow and read the Moscow cable.

The telegram stated: "There is a cabal in Poland composed of internal and external reactionary forces that are opposed to the socialist system. The Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies responded to the Warsaw government's call for help. Therefore, Soviet troops have been ordered to move into Poland .”

Johnson listened to the telegram carefully, calmly "thanked Ambassador Dobrynin for informing him of the news," and then talked endlessly about his talks with Kosygin.

"It seems that there is a tacit understanding between Washington and Moscow." He reached for the wolfberry and took a sip. Alan Wilson's face was not good-looking, and he commented indifferently.

"The president has no intention of stalemate relations with Moscow when his term is about to expire. And to be honest, we can't interfere in anything in Eastern Europe." Donald knew that the expired hegemon was a little lost about this, so he took care of Britain's feelings and explained, "But Just like the possibility we have communicated before, the Soviet Union's control of Eastern Europe is not solid."

"The situation in France shows that Western Europe is not very strong either." Seeing the US ambassador about to make double-standard remarks, Alan Wilson had to point out that the situation in France is not much better than that in Poland. If the Soviet Union did not have enough control over Eastern Europe, would the United States have very strong control over Western Europe?

Of course, both of them agreed that they should try their best to give de Gaulle a chance, hoping that he could control the situation in France and not let NATO follow suit after the Soviet Union sent troops. This would be bad.

"The Soviet Union's actions will definitely not satisfy all countries. I think we can stay silent for now and see what the Soviet allies think, especially those allies with complicated relations. For example, Yugoslavia and several countries in East Asia .”

Alan Wilson took the initiative and suggested, "If the Soviet Union's actions cannot satisfy its brother countries, then it would be logical for us to say a few words."

Alan Wilson remembers that a certain major country seemed to have violently criticized the Soviet Union because of the Czechoslovakia incident. Now that it was Poland, the attitude should still remain unchanged. You can take advantage of this,

The free world will not comment on this, but why not reprint the views of a certain major country?

The fact that the Bo-Hungary incident has not occurred in this world is also a good thing for a certain big country. Otherwise, it would be useless to reprint these two incidents of the same type that happened many years ago and a certain big country has inconsistent statements. It will only make most countries think that a certain big country has double standards. Now this problem no longer exists.

"We are not hostile to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union's own allies think so." Alan Wilson coaxed the US ambassador, "Avoiding direct statements can be regarded as caring for the Soviet Union's emotions."

"It's a good idea, but it depends on what Washington thinks." Donald's eyes lit up. Although he agreed with this approach, it also depends on public opinion in the United States.

"Anyway, I don't think the problem is big." Alan Wilson was full of confidence. "We always have no losses due to the discord among the enemy, right?"

After all, the situation in Poland was a distant event. Both of them agreed that the French issue was more important in the current situation. Alan Wilson then went to No. 10 Downing Street to report the matter.

"Are we going to launch a fierce attack on the actions of the Soviet Union?" Harold Wilson fell into deep thinking after hearing this.

"We'd better look at Washington's stance. If Washington thinks the problem is not big, we have nothing to say." Alan Wilson put forward his own suggestion, "And what exactly is going on, we don't know the details yet. We may need to wait. Let’s talk about it later.”

To be honest, it doesn’t matter how Britain expressed its stance on this matter. Decades later, when Russia sent troops to Kazakhstan, the United States also expressed its stance. Is it useful? It's not useless.

"The diplomatic work is still on France. Now we need the Prime Minister to show that Britain is on the side of General de Gaulle and call on France to restore order as soon as possible." Alan Wilson expressed compassion, "I heard that France has lost more than 1,000 people in the past month. tons of gold, France has closed the channel for gold exchange.”

This is almost 30% of France’s run on gold in recent years. It took France several years to run out another 4,000 tons of gold from the United States, which suddenly reduced it by one-third. It can be seen that in the financial field, French people still cannot compare with English speakers.

Now is the time to say something good about De Gaulle. In fact, although Britain and the United States keep saying that they respect De Gaulle, France's reputation is not good among public opinion in the United Kingdom and the United States. The end of the French Fourth Republic, and de Gaulle's coming to power meant a military coup.

The Fifth Republic led by de Gaulle actually looked very much like an authoritarian government. Yes, authoritarian governments in this era were always used by some loose media to describe the de Gaulle government.

But that was in the past. Faced with a massive movement composed of various groups, Britain should give support to De Gaulle. Anyway, the channel for gold to come out has been terminated. Now we are still friends in the same trench.

For a moment, the British media still emphasized de Gaulle's contributions to France over the years. As for the treatment of the working class, this issue was definitely not exploited and expanded, and became a weapon to attack De Gaulle. It cannot be ruled out that the Soviet Union was behind it. .

The United Kingdom will not dictate matters in Poland, but France can still frame the Soviet Union. The tacit understanding between the two camps still exists. I will not interfere with you, and you should not interfere with me.

On the last day of May, de Gaulle, back in Paris, gave a radio speech because the television stations were on strike. He rejected all demands from the opposition parties. He would not resign or change the prime minister, but would dissolve the parliament.

He claimed that the man behind the movement was a "foreign-supported party", the French Communist Party, saying that "France is facing the threat of dictatorship" and said, "If this situation continues, I will have to take other measures.

The so-called other methods must rely on the support of the military to solve the problem. Although de Gaulle's words were very ambiguous, the United Kingdom and the United States listened even more ambiguously. US President Lyndon Johnson and British Prime Minister Harold Wilson immediately spoke out in public Expressed support for de Gaulle and agreed with de Gaulle's statement that France is facing a life-or-death decision and should take tough measures to safeguard its hard-won freedom.

After de Gaulle's speech, 400,000 Paris citizens took to the streets to demonstrate their support for de Gaulle. Although this was not comparable in scale to the previous demonstrations, it could be regarded as a counterattack by de Gaulle to some extent. It was not that he did not have supporters, on the contrary, he did not have supporters. few.

"We saw local troops gathering on the satellite over Algeria. The transport aircraft is still your British strategic transport aircraft." Not long after, Donald revealed something to Alan Wilson. The Algerian garrison seemed to be preparing to return home to assist De Gaulle. Take control of the situation.

"It cannot be said to be British, but a strategic transport aircraft jointly ordered by our three countries, Britain, France and Germany." Alan Wilson categorically denied Donald's statement. The North African garrison's self-determination cannot be said to be different from the British just because it uses the same transport aircraft as the British army. Related, this is simply a crime.

"Of course, I also believe that once the military's actions reach Paris, the protesters who have been caught up in the unconscious carnival will wake up."

In this incident, the French Communist Party is obviously different from the post-war French Communist Party. It can be seen from the French Communist Party’s statement that this is not the French Communist Party that resisted during the world war. Years of parliamentary struggles have made it lose Despite their martial arts skills, the statements of several leaders were full of compromises.

Maybe now De Gaulle is making conditions for the French Communist Party to stand on his side and end the strike movement in France. Who can say for sure.
