Chapter 624： Aiden (1/2)
The entire expeditionary army only returned less than a few hundred people, and Montgomery was the highest rank among them. Although he was a defeated general, when Montgomery returned, he was promoted to a level. Nothing else, he was already in the British team There are a few generals who have experienced fighting with the Germans, and his experience is quite precious.
After returning, Montgomery quickly summarized. First, if you want a new tank, you must fully contend with the Germans in terms of firepower, maneuverability, and protection! Britain is an old-brand industrial country. At this time, the strong industrial heritage is revealed, and various factories have begun to work hard to design new tanks.
At the same time, Montgomery also knows that for Britain, what is needed most is time!
For the glory of the empire, it is hard to accept the loss of the Indian colony, but if compared with the fate of Britain, it is better to lose the colony than the homeland.
Montgomery is supportive.
”However, we must take preventive measures. After all, the Soviets and us are not in the same trench. We must absolutely prevent them. The Soviets took our India but did not go to war with the Germans, or just used small border harassment. Come to fool us, but let us give up India to them, this is absolutely impossible.” Montgomery continued.
Montgomery thought very well. Now, Britain can't trust the Soviet Union. Therefore, even if the deal can be agreed to by the United Kingdom, it will have to wait until the Soviet Union has really attacked Germany!
Otherwise, the Soviets took advantage of this opportunity to **** Britain's India, and then turned their faces and refused to admit it, then Britain had no other way.
Now Britain has weakened.
Churchill nodded: ”Yes, we have to consider these issues.”
The Soviet Union is indeed capricious. In Poland's position, it was like this. Britain and France had invited invitations, and the Soviet Union promised to attack Germany to protect Poland. But, what happened?
The Soviet Union did not hesitate to divide Poland with Germany. The Soviet Union is simply a capricious villain.
If Britain traded India for the Soviet Union and Germany to fight, it would be worth it, but if India was given to the Soviet Union without the Soviets sending troops, then the Churchill government would become the laughing stock of the world.
”Well, now, I sign the Prime Minister's order to promote this agreement with all my strength!” Churchill ignored these objections, and now, he must be responsible for the empire!
If the Soviets have the brain, they should know that once Germany completes the process of annexing France, it will become a behemoth, and it will definitely be a threat to the Soviet Union at that time!
Taking advantage of the emptiness of eastern Germany, launching an offensive against Germany and destroying Germany is the best choice for the Soviet Union! I hope Stalin will not let himself down!
With the order signed by Churchill himself, the famous British diplomat Robert Anthony Aiden hurriedly boarded the plane to Moscow.
Aiden, born in 1897, is now in his prime of life. Like Churchill, he is a representative of hardliners.
When Aiden stepped onto the political stage, he showed a tougher attitude towards fascist countries than his predecessor.
He once said, “We must not give in just to appease Germany, because doing so can only backfire and make it more and more appetite.”
When Germany broke up the Locarno Convention and entered the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, Aiden met with the German ambassador to the UK twice to condemn Nazi Germany's breach of contract.
Unfortunately, Aiden’s foreign policy conception contradicts Chamberlain. Chamberlain dreams of achieving the so-called ”peace of a generation” through concessions and sacrificing the interests of other countries. Aiden, on the other hand, calls for the promotion of diplomacy backed by military strength, otherwise ”no foreign policy will have any hope of success in this tense world.”
