Chapter 800 Churchill's Death Part 7
"What does Roosevelt mean? What does he want to do?"
Stalin was confused by the American proposal and asked Dimitrov, the leader of the Third International who was standing in the office to be scolded (because the British Bolshevik Party was led by the Third International), "He is really not our comrade?"
"Who? Who did you say?" Dimitrov seemed to have not understood Stalin's problem.
"Of course it's Roosevelt!" Stalin asked, "he really hasn't joined the American Bolshevik Party?"
Dimitrov thought carefully and seriously, then shook his head and said, "Comrade General Secretary, as far as I know, Roosevelt is not our comrade. But he may be our revolutionary fellow..."
Stalin waved his hand, "Since it's not, it must be a conspiracy!"
"Yes, you're right, there must be a conspiracy." Dimitrov quickly followed Stalin's words and said that due to the bad situation on the battlefield recently, Stalin was in a bad mood and always suspected that someone would oppose him. It would be better to be more obedient at this time.
"What kind of conspiracy is that? Comrade Dimitrov, tell me, what does Roosevelt want to do?"
"He wants..." Dimitrov frowned and thought, and finally came up with a reason, "He must have wanted to disrupt our peace talks with the Germans."
"Can you?" Stalin shook his head, "This will only give us one more big card when negotiating with the Germans! There is no need for the victory of the British Revolution. It only requires Britain to enter the civil war state, so we will have one more big card in our hands. What will we lose because of this?"
Stalin's eyes turned to Molotov, "Did the Americans put forward any conditions?"
"The United States just hopes that Britain can hold on to resistance," Molotov said. "They are willing to cooperate with all forces that really want to resist the German invasion and provide them with weapons, ammunition and funds..."
"Weapons, ammunition and funding?" Stalin immediately grasped the point, "What does it mean?"
"The Americans said their army would be forced to retreat from the British Isle, but they could leave weapons and ammunition to political factions who were truly willing to fight against the Germans... whatever their political beliefs were, or whether they could win in the end."
In other words, as long as the British Isle can mess up, no matter who the American talents are, no matter how much the British people will suffer!
"Haha," Stalin sneered, "What a staunch ally of the British!"
"Comrade General Secretary, the Americans want to use us." Molotov had already figured out some problems at this time, "but for us, there seems to be no loss."
"There is no loss!" Stalin gritted his teeth, "But we should still be careful about these capitalists who can betray all brothers for the sake of interests!"
In Stalin's view, the United States, which speaks English as its native language and was born from the British North American colony, is the British brothers. The Americans are undoubtedly pushing their brothers into the fire pit.
Such a country that does not even care about brothers, anyone who forms an alliance with it must be extremely cautious.
"Comrade General Secretary," Dimitrov asked, "we are going to work with the United States... to help the British Revolution?"
"Of course!" Stalin focused on it, "Anyway, we will not lose anything... Generate electricity to Comrade Mesky and Comrade Polit, telling them that the British Revolution and the British resistance movement are interdependent, and only if the revolution wins, resistance can win. Because the struggle to resist the German invasion will be a people's war. The masses must be mobilized to the maximum extent, and at the same time, we must unite all forces that can be united, and strive to establish a united front of the people with the broadest foundation against Germany!
In addition, before establishing a united front against Germany, the first task to be completed is to overthrow the reactionary Churchill government, which poses the greatest threat to the people's war against Germany. In order to achieve this goal, a united front should also be established and cooperated with all forces opposing the Churchill regime...even if they are future enemies. And the United States is a country that can trust and cooperate, and should trust the United States, just like trusting the Soviet Union.
At the same time, after the overthrow of Churchill's regime, we should do everything possible to establish an armed force belonging to the Bolshevik Party. Establishing an armed force is a prerequisite for the success of all struggles."
...
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Americans are retreating, they have controlled King's Cross Railway Station and have spent a lot of money to buy the managers of the Railway Workers Federation and the Railway Company..."
Inside the wartime cabinet bunker underground in King Charles Street, Churchill was listening to Viscount Brook's report at noon on January 13.
Early in the morning of the same day, Eisenhower reported to him the final decision of the US government: to retreat from the British Isle! However, the Second Armored Division, currently fighting in Hartelpur and Middlesbrough, will finally leave and will continue to fight with the British army before they leave.
In addition, the US military will leave most of their weapons to the British, and the weapons currently transported to Iceland will continue to be transported to ports in northern Scotland by destroyers to support British resistance.
If the UK is willing to continue to resist in the future (referring to the storm quelling), the United States will provide more military aid!
In short, it has a very meaning of being kind and righteous.
"Jazz, I don't want to hear this..." Churchill spit out the smoke, "It's useful, what about Hartelpur and Middlesbrough fronts? Can the troops still fight?"
This question may sound irrelevant, but it is actually a key.
Because the United States did not support and the number of protesters was too large, Churchill had to change his stance of resolute suppression (no one was willing to help him suppress it) and instead find a way out through negotiations.
The result of the negotiation is nothing more than democratic procedures. This is the UK. Hundreds of years of constitutionalism have been completed, and most votes have voted to vote deeply on this set of deep-seated ways of power. The British people expressed their discomfort.
According to the procedures, Churchill should ask King George VI, who is far away in Canada, to approve the dissolution of the parliament and re-election of the re-election of the Conservatives and Liberals and the Labor Party wins, then Attlee will come to power to become prime minister. Whether to resist or surrender, Attlee will decide.
Of course, he could not disband the parliament and directly ask the Labor Party to file a distrust case, but the fat man did not intend to give up. So now Churchill has sent a telegram to the king to disband the parliament, and it is estimated that it will be approved soon.
Before the end of the parliamentary elections, Churchill was the prime minister who guarded the cabinet. As the prime minister of the cabinet, according to convention, major decisions should be avoided. However, things that have been decided before can still be implemented.
In other words, the Battle of Hartelpool-Middlesburg can continue!
The victory or defeat of this battle is directly related to the outcome of the parliamentary election.
If the British army is defeated, the reciprocal Labor and the fascist alliance will win without any suspense.
If the British army wins, then the Conservatives and Liberals can still fight. So Churchill proposed a request to set the date of parliamentary elections as January 30 during the negotiations... This request was supported by the Labor Party, because the Labor Party also wanted to hold a general election after the Battle of Hartlepool-Middlesburg. If it wins, the future Labor government can still have more bargaining chips when negotiating with the Germans.
"The morale of the troops is a little low, but the offensive can be maintained so far." Viscount Brook replied with a bitter face.
Churchill nodded and asked again: "Can the plane fly now?"
"No," replied Viscount Brook, "Hartelpur and Middlesbrough are still there..."
"No, I'm not asking this." Churchill immediately interrupted him, "I'm asking if the plane to the New World can fly?"
It turned out that the old fat man wanted to escape, as Attley said before, as long as his Conservative Party loses the parliamentary election, he will be out of his trap and will be able to escape to Canada.
Moreover, Fatty Qiu had already arranged a way out for himself, and there were many soldiers and politicians who supported him in Canada. This time, the reason why he was so embarrassed by the Bolshevik Party and the Labor Party was also because he sent many supporters to Canada.
If the old fat man can still reach Canada with decent attitude, it is impossible to make a comeback and become the prime minister, but there is no problem to be a big shot behind the scenes in Canadian politics.
"No problem," replied Viscount Brook, "there are two modified 'Sunderland' seaplanes on standby on the Thames. The plane has additional fuel tanks installed, enough to fly to Newfoundland."
"Great." Churchill nodded. "Viscount, then we will go together to Canada and go to the king. Canada needs us. Without us, there will be at the mercy of Roosevelt!"
...
In the East End of London, just as Churchill and Viscount Brook discussed fleeing to Canada after losing the election, an important meeting of the Bolshevik Party was being held in a long-closed factory here.
Those attending the meeting were members of the Central Y members of the British Bolshevik Party, as well as Ivan Mesky, who had just become the representative of the Third International to the United Kingdom.
Of course, what the meeting discussed was how to seize power!
The first London workers' uprising led by the Bolshevik Party a few days ago did not succeed, but did not completely fail because of the betrayal of the traitor Labour Party.
According to the agreement reached by the two sides (Labor and Churchill government), before the results of the parliamentary election are released, the armed forces of workers in London will not be disbanded, and martial law will be lifted. Regular troops stationed in London (including regular militias) are not allowed to leave the barracks except for protecting some necessary targets.
