Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

From 1934 to 1937, the United States issued three consecutive neutrality acts, stipulating that the United States remained "neutral" in wars occurring in other parts of the world and was not allowed to deliver arms and strategic materials to the warring parties.

Roosevelt used the partial burning of the Capitol in 1814 to persuade Congress to abolish the embargo. After fierce debates inside and outside Congress, Congress passed the Neutrality Act Amendment, canceled the embargo, and implemented the cash-and-carry principle, that is, buying in cash and taking care of transportation. .

On the other side, Aiden, who rushed to Moscow after a long journey, met Molotov again. "Mr. Molotov, I would like to continue talking about the content of the last discussion." After the polite greetings between the two parties, Aiden went straight to the topic.

Molotov vaguely guessed Aiden's intention, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes. "Are you prepared to cede the Indian colony?" Although he tried his best to suppress it, his slightly trembling voice still revealed his excitement.

As early as 1715, Peter I specially sent people to explore whether there was a river in Iran that could be navigable to the Indian border, and in 1722, they reached the southern shore of the Caspian Sea with overwhelming force.

Just as the Russian army was preparing to expand its results and continue to move south, it was restrained by the Ottoman Turkey. The Turkish army entered Persia from the west and informed Tsarist Russia that if the Russian army dared to go south again, the next step would mean war. Because the Tsarist-Russian front was stretched too long this time, and Peter I was still worried about being trapped in the Prut River 12 years ago (1711) (Peter the Great was almost captured alive by the Turks), he was forced to stop this military operation.

In 1795, Empress Catherine finally fulfilled Peter the Great's last wish and opened the passage from Persia to India. But it is all because of the existence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire that the Russians have never been able to get involved in the Persian Gulf (mainly restricted by Turkey to the Caucasus region and the Caspian Sea coast). The biggest result is to control the northern half of Iran's territory.

During the reign of Alexander I, he attacked Iran in 1804, but soon after, Russia was mired in the Napoleonic Wars and had no time to look east. After that, Tsarist Russia fell into a long-term economic stagnation, and it was at loggerheads with Britain, France and Ottoman over the Crimean issue.

Although Russia had defeated Iran in the War of 1826, Britain resolutely opposed Russia's expansion in Iran in order to ensure the connection between its African colonies and its Indian colonies. The dual political and economic pressures kept Russia from having a chance. On the eve of World War I, Russia's domestic conflicts had intensified. Relations with Germany in Europe had deteriorated, it had lost the Russo-Japanese War in the Far East, and its march into Iran was even more of a pipe dream. So in 1907, Britain and Russia signed a treaty, and Russia's sphere of influence was limited to northern Iran, losing the opportunity to build an Indian Ocean fleet.

Now that the British Empire is about to surrender the whole of India, how can we not be excited? Moreover, the current Indian colonies include a large area of ​​territory such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar in later generations. These territories form a loose colony and are connected into a large area, also called the Indian subcontinent, with an area of ​​more than 4 million square kilometers and a population of Close to 400 million.

Aiden sighed deeply. "Yes, Prime Minister Churchill has agreed. However, you need to declare war on Germany and send troops to invade Germany before we can hand it over."

"Oh?" Molotov narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly. "Are you kidding me, Mr. Special Envoy? Declare war first? Even if you go back on your word then, there will be no room for redemption between us and Germany, and you are the only one who will benefit from it!"

Aiden said hurriedly. "We can sign an agreement..."

Before he finished speaking, Molotov interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "I told the special envoy very clearly last time that your country's credibility is unconvincing, and we must get actual benefits. An idle statement like the agreement is almost like fart."

Aiden couldn't help but said a little annoyed. "Then how can we trust you? If we hand over the colony to you, and then you don't declare war, or declare no war? Aren't we losing an important colony in vain?"

"..." This is true. Now both sides do not believe in the credibility of the other party.

How should this transaction proceed?

The talks could only be adjourned temporarily, and Molotov reported to Stalin, who held a high-level meeting to discuss the matter.

In fact, Stalin really did a lot of deceiving the British. Therefore, his original plan was to agree to the British first, and when the British handed over India to him, he could still use various excuses to delay it.

After all, there is no need to be too honest with the British. The British did the same bad things back then.

But now it seems that the British are not so gullible. They asked the Soviet Union to fight Germany to the death before handing over India. How could the Soviet Union agree to such conditions? But if you refuse directly, it will be like throwing away the meat that is on your lips, which is really a pity.

"Comrade Marshal Budyonny, tell me what you think." Stalin looked at Budyonny sitting on his left and said.

Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny was one of the five founding marshals of the Soviet Union. His military career lasted for seventy years, and he participated in almost all major Soviet wars, including the two world wars, with outstanding military exploits. Zhukov, Timoshenko, Rokossovsky and other famous Soviet generals during World War II were all Budyonny's subordinates.

During the Soviet-Russian Civil War, Budyonny made outstanding achievements, and his position naturally increased after the war. In just a few years, he rose from deputy commander of the North Caucasus Military District to second-in-command of the People's Commissariat of Defense.

Budyonny was in charge of cavalry construction. While working hard, he also improved relevant military theories and made indelible contributions to the construction of the Soviet army.

However, people are not very fond of Budyonni, and there is a "stain" that has a great impact.

During the turmoil of the 1930s, his wife Mikhailovna was suspected of "espionage." The notorious Yezhov came to Budyonny to ask for someone. As a confidant of the supreme leader and a hero of the Soviet Union, he actually humbly sent his wife to Lubyanka in person.

You know, Mikhailovna is a famous singer and dazzling. Such a weak woman was imprisoned until Stalin's death and was not released. In contrast, Timoshenko's approach to similar situations was admirable: Timoshenko would personally appeal to Stalin for those he believed should be protected, without any ambiguity at all.

And now the marshal is not living a very comfortable life, and is even a little nervous. He was the only one left among the five marshals who were promoted with him (Voroshinov, Budyonny, Bluukher, Yegorov, and Tukhachevsky). It makes him worry about when it will be his turn.
