Struggle in Soviet Russia

"That alcoholic British guy is provoking us to war, at least from his speech, I can only feel this kind of emotion," Comrade Stalin said after Comrade Molotov finished introducing the content of the intelligence. Bian also seemed to have finished measuring his blood pressure. The doctor in a white coat packed up and left, while Comrade Stalin stood up from his chair and said while walking towards the sofa.

As he spoke, he walked to the empty sofa opposite Victor, and while bending over to sit down, he said in a serious tone: "The British have always been hostile to us, and here we must recognize one thing, that is what they have They are not targeting our communist system and the model of the Soviet regime, they are targeting Russia, the main nationalities that make up the alliance. I mean, even without the success of our October Revolution, Russia is still in a state of Under the tsar, the British would still be hostile to us, because the existence of the alliance, even the existence of Russia, was the biggest obstacle to the exclusive British hegemony in Europe.

Having said that, he stopped, touched his pocket, took out a pack of shredded tobacco, and while stuffing shredded tobacco into the pipe, he glanced at the people next to him, and finally said: "Now, through such a speech , the hostility of the British to us has been fully demonstrated, and I think we must make a swift and forceful counterattack to show our attitude. Comrade Vyacheslav, tell me your opinion first."

Comrade Stalin first named Comrade Molotov's name, which is what he meant. After all, the other party is the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs and the main person in charge of the foreign affairs agency. He must be the first to speak out.

His remarks drew everyone's attention to Comrade Molotov, and Viktor did the same. He also wanted to hear Comrade Molotov's opinion on the matter.

"The fighting in Thessaloniki has lasted for four days. So far, the People's Liberation Army led by Marcos Vafiadis has an absolute advantage," Comrade Molotov said after thinking for a while.

However, he did not directly address the question of Churchill's speech, but rather the situation of the Greek Civil War.

Today, Marcos Vafiadis is responsible for the full command of the People's Liberation Army on the KKE side. In the past few months, the Greek People's Liberation Army has made rapid progress, although the Greek king's army has received support from the British. Even a large number of British troops have directly participated in the war, but the Greek People's Liberation Army still gained the initiative on the battlefield. As far as Victor had previously obtained information, now, in addition to Athens and other big cities that are still controlled by the king and the British, more than 80% of Greece's territory is already under the direct control of the KKE.

As for the "Battle of Thessaloniki" that Molotov said, he refers to a recent urban street battle between the KKK and the British, which broke out in Thessaloniki.

As the second largest city in Greece, this battle in Thessaloniki was the first siege of a large city launched by the People's Liberation Army led by the KKK. After four days of continuous street fighting, the number of besieged British troops in the city has been determined to be as many as 3,000. In order to prevent such a large British army from being captured by the Greek People's Liberation Army, the British have , Air Forces are used.

It must be admitted that the losses suffered by the Greek People's Liberation Army in this battle are huge, but the bait in front of them is also full of temptations. If the three thousand British troops besieged in the center of the city can be captured. If they are captured, then the KKE is very hopeful that it can use this bargaining chip to force the British to withdraw from their interference in the situation in Greece.

Therefore, despite the huge losses, the Greek People's Liberation Army has never given up the siege of Thessaloniki. At present, the KKE is deploying troops from all parts of Greece to the north to continuously reinforce Thessaloniki. war situation.

"The British cannot afford the loss of Thessaloniki, and if three thousand British troops trapped in the city become prisoners, it will lead to the downfall of the current British cabinet," Comrade Molotov continued. "At the same time, , they can't choose to withdraw from the dispute in Greece at this time, otherwise, the Labour Party will be regarded as a weak state ruler. After the baptism of a world war, the nerves of the British are now very fragile, and the weak party is not recognized by the public.”

"So, the British are now in a dilemma when it comes to the Greek issue," Comrade Molotov said after seeing a few people around him. "Of course, in the recent period, the current British cabinet has been forced to It feels tough, and it's not just a Greek issue, but a Middle East issue, like Saudi Arabia."

Saudi Arabia has now fallen into the arms of the Americans. This was something that was finalized between the United Kingdom and the United States during World War II. Of course, the British knew that the Yankees discovered rich oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, but in the war at that time Under the circumstances, they needed assistance from the Americans, so they had to make concessions on the Saudi issue.

Now that the war is over, the issue of being buried or hidden during the war is starting to come to the fore quickly, and while the Saudis have nothing to do with the Labour Party, they have to be forced to face a situation that is a series of events in the Middle East. On this issue, the Attlee government cannot continue to make concessions, otherwise, the consequences will be equally serious.

"There is also the issue of South Asia. Now, the Indians are obviously not going to forgive the British for the crimes they committed three years ago. They are determined to break away from British rule," Comrade Molotov said. "The most important thing is that the three The horrific disaster a year ago has a tendency to strike again, because of a series of natural disasters, coupled with the rude policies of the British, perhaps this disaster is unavoidable."

India in South Asia is indeed one of the big troubles that Britain needs to face now. India has always been a British colony, from which the East India Company got its name, and in the long colonial years, the Indians have obviously been successfully conquered by the British. enslaved, but throughout World War II, the already docile Indian was still embarrassed by his British master.

In 1942, with the Japanese invasion of the Indo-China Peninsula, a large number of refugees poured into India, and the United Kingdom continued to plunder supplies from India to compensate for its losses in the European battlefield. food shortage. In order to ensure their own interests, the British colonists at that time set up a grain rationing system in India, and the grain rationing system they implemented was much more cruel than the Soviet Union's wartime policy. It clearly stipulated that in the process of grain distribution Among them, the so-called upper class, middle class, government personnel, and military personnel are given priority. As for ordinary Indians, no one cares about whether they die or not.

A rationing system like this was later developed into various material fields, even including medicines. In this way, the disaster swept the entire Indian subcontinent. For two years from 1942 to 1944, millions of Indians starved to death. The propaganda of the Great Ukrainian famine is much uglier. The "non-violent non-cooperation" movement led by Gandhi was launched against this background.

In addition, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during World War II, Churchill was extremely disrespectful to the Indians. He even publicly mocked Gandhi, who was called "Mahatma" by the Indians, saying that he was a "half-naked liar" and suggested that he was the Governor-General of India. Weaver rode an elephant and went to trample Gandhi to death.

In this way, the independence movement in India has also flourished. In addition to the non-violent non-cooperation movement led by Gandhi, there are also a series of violent protest movements, which have caused the British to be devastated.

In short, life for the British is very difficult now. If Attlee had known that the situation faced by Britain after the war would be so cruel, it is estimated that he would have withdrawn directly from the Prime Minister election.

After analyzing the troubles faced by Britain in the world, Comrade Molotov finally got to the point, he said: "I think that in the face of the current complex situation, in the United Kingdom, the Labour Party and the Conservative Party are divided. It is very likely that some kind of political tacit understanding has been formed between them, and they need to reverse the current passive situation, at least, they need to shift the focus of the conflict. That is to say, this speech by Churchill in the United States is not only for the United States People listened, and the British also listened, and they needed to shape the alliance into another German fascist, and use this to divert the attention of the domestic people and transfer the contradictions."

Victor nodded secretly, yes, Comrade Molotov's analysis on this point was very accurate. Churchill's speech in the United States was indeed meant to help the Americans as well as the domestic contradictions in the United Kingdom. The purpose of putting out the fire is indeed killing two birds with one stone.

In later generations, such tactics are very common in Western countries, just like the United States, in the years before Victor's rebirth, whenever the US presidential election, whether it is a Democratic candidate or a Republican candidate, will be China. The question is brought up to say, wishing to describe China as a Satan reborn, and if they win the presidential election, they will throw a nuclear bomb on China's head. But when the election is really over, the winner will still choose to cooperate with China. After all, elections are elections and governance is governance. Although the two are related, they are also different.
