Chapter 82 Dismissal Order

"I also learned patience from this unexpected incident." After a habitual flattering, Alexander Cadogan said as if remembering something, "It seems that Alan's luck is really good, you can free from punishment."

"Judging from his return to London and the work he has carried out, he is indeed overly busy. It is only good to be young and have endless energy." Edward Bridges smiled, a little envious Dao said, "It's only been a long time, and I have almost traveled all over the territory of the Allied Forces. Of course, the more things are done, the greater the possibility of mistakes."

The more you do, the more mistakes you make. This situation also exists in London. Edward Bridges has been in the civil service for many years, so he is naturally clear about this.

"Young people always have some ideals, as long as this ideal is not dangerous." Alexander Cadogan said aside.

"Ideal? Ah, of course it is very important!" Edward Bridges almost made a mistake and said the truth, but immediately continued, "Allen was taken abroad by Old Wilson very early, and he was exposed to the possibility of some outdated ideas. Not for nothing. But it is very reassuring so far that the experience of British India was not in vain."

Colonial civil servants are an important part of the civil service system of the British Empire. Who made the British Empire a colonial empire, not to mention others, Alexander Cadogan, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is a representative of the colonial civil servants.

Among the civil servants in the colonies, the civil servants in British India are the largest group. The 100,000 civil servants and their families in British India are not even smaller than the local civil servants, and the number is already close to half of the local civil servants.

If it weren't for the importance of the civil servants in British India, Sir Barron would not be particularly valued by Edward Bridges. Make the same choice.

As far as Allen Wilson's mistakes are concerned, according to Edward Bridges' recent report, it is nothing more than too much energy, and he was eager to improve when he first arrived in Europe, and there was a certain negligence.

This is all forgivable, and it is impossible to say that it is a deliberate move, but it is not impossible to have some secret operations with Ali Khan, the monarch of Hyderabad, because judging from the shipment of food that arrived in Hamburg, Alan Wilson should It is in some places, helping Ali Khan to do something.

This discussion determined that Alan Wilson was not affected by the refugee crossing this time. The cabinet secretary and the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have already decided that this is an isolated and unpredictable incident. No one wants such a thing to happen, but we can only face it calmly when it happens.

The British Empire is not responsible in this matter, this is the problem of the United States, and the Soviet Union can reserve the right to pursue it. But the British Empire was willing to work for it, so that the united Allies would not blame each other for it.

As for Alan Wilson's handling decision, he will continue to keep in touch with the United States to assist in the follow-up handling.

"This is not good!" Alan Wilson felt a little embarrassed after being instructed by Alexander Cadogan.

How is this any different from letting wolves watch sheep? In fact, he understands the consequences of refugees crossing the border, and his heart is like a mirror.

It is precisely because he understands the consequences of this incident that he wants to do this. On the one hand, it is to arouse the hostility of the Soviet Union. But it seems to have no effect. The Soviet Union has sent news that it will protest at the Potsdam Conference.

In another aspect, it will be the problem of Yugoslavia. There are such a group of powerful opponents abroad. Whether Tito is willing or unwilling, he must move closer to the Soviet Union.

There is only one reason for this. The current Soviet Union is still too weak, and the original Cold War confrontation in Europe, the Soviet camp was indeed surrounded by the American camp. Even if Yugoslavia joined the Warsaw Pact, it would only level the geographical disadvantages.

This will allow the Soviet Union to have a channel to enter the Mediterranean Sea. Strictly speaking, it has not been completely leveled. After all, Yugoslavia, facing Italy influenced by the United States, is as embarrassing as the Soviet Union that was choked by the Baltic Sea.

The Soviet Union did not show great hostility, but only said to make representations at the Potsdam Conference. Although this would be an excuse for the Soviet Union to launch an attack at the conference, London was relieved that the conference was held as scheduled.

July 5th is the British general election. If the Potsdam Conference cannot be held as scheduled, it may have an important impact on this general election. However, Alan Wilson, who knows the history, estimates that the Potsdam Conference will not be able to save Churchill.

This general election in history was not a close election at all. It can be said that the Conservative Party lost all its underwear and was beaten all the way by the Labor Party. Even if the Potsdam Conference was held earlier than in history, the Conservative Party would not be able to save it.

Alan Wilson, who was not affected, was writing a report to London, and of course repeated the statements made by the Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office that this was an isolated incident.

Then he mentioned the preparations for the Potsdam Conference and the attitude of the Soviet Union to ensure that the conference can proceed as scheduled. For this reason, Alexander Cadogan, secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has already communicated with the Soviet Union.

This time the Yugoslav refugees crossed the border, the Soviet Union maintained amazing restraint. Of course, Britain welcomes this. Apart from Tito of Yugoslavia, the other country that suffers is the United States.

In Washington, the capital of the United States, the new owner of the White House, Truman, who took over as president after Roosevelt died of illness, was frowning at the telegram sent by Eisenhower. In the eyes of his new president, Patton was not stingy with a problem general.

At the important moment when the Potsdam Conference is about to be held, such a problem has been created among various countries.

"General Patton showed undisguised hostility towards the Soviet Union, and many former German soldiers gathered around him." Looking at General Eisenhower's narration in the telegram, Truman fell into deep thought.

The biggest problem right now is to let the Soviets join the war against Japan and completely defeat the last country that resisted the Axis powers. Truman will not give a good face to anyone who destroys this premise, and this is his first The first time I went abroad to attend an important international conference, I was almost disturbed.

This must not be tolerated! Truman made an important decision to fire General Patton, and the telegram quickly traveled across Europe and reached Eisenhower. Barton will definitely not be the last to experience Truman's ruthlessness. Truman, who defeated Dewey a few years later, will also let Chang Gong experience it.
