British Civil Servant

Chapter 116: Backstab from Allies

Alan Wilson felt that it was nothing more than an alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. It was enough to just chat for two days and say a little official article. However, after returning, I was about to pack my bags and go back to Berlin.

Foreign Secretary Alexander Cadogan appeared and said to Alan Wilson, "The Americans want Britain to find a place to put those Yugoslavs."

"Why don't the Americans settle it themselves?" Alan Wilson was furious, and his patriotism couldn't help but burst out. This is an American problem. Why should the British solve this problem?

Although this question was first raised by Alan Wilson, who knows? No, have the Americans found any clues? Simply Alexander Cadogan's words reassured him, "Yes, this is a humiliation of the British Empire by the Americans. The Americans have no reason to do this, but they do it. Prime Minister Attlee is very angry!"

In fact, Prime Minister Attlee was really angry, but it wasn't because of a small problem like the Yugoslav refugees. The Yugoslav refugees just said something incidentally when Truman and Attlee were chatting.

It was only because the head of state of a country said such a word that Prime Minister Attlee asked Edward Bridges to arrange it. What really **** off Prime Minister Attlee for another reason.

"Winston, this is your ally who has a special relationship in your mouth." Prime Minister Attlee looked at Churchill's bulldog-like face and sneered, "I really didn't expect that the ever-vigilant Soviet Union had yet to attack, first of all. A stabbed from your close ally, American perfidy, what do you think of Winston?"

Prime Minister Attlee was justifiably angry, because in his conversation with President Truman, he mentioned that the United States should share information about the nuclear bomb, but Truman refused.

You must know that the United Kingdom itself has a nuclear bomb program. At that time, Attlee was the deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom, and he knew something about the alloy tube program. As early as when Germany blitzed Poland, after Britain and France declared war on Germany, the United Kingdom began to secretly develop countermeasures against ** of new weapons.

British scientists have long discovered that by enriching natural uranium, a powerful nuclear bomb can be made.

At the end of 1939, a research group was secretly set up in Liverpool to study the feasibility of nuclear bomb manufacturing. This was the top-secret project code-named alloy tubes.

Day by day, great progress has been made in the development of the atomic bomb. In experiments, scientists found that a neutron can only be caught if it is within the effective target range of the nucleus.

At this time, British research was already in the leading position in the world. At the same time, the United States, which is also secretly developing nuclear bombs, is still groping for the theory of atomic reactors, and the concept of nuclear explosive devices is still vague.

Soon after, Britain began preparations for the manufacture of a nuclear bomb. It should be said that as long as the UK continues to work hard at this time, it is capable of developing a nuclear bomb very quickly.

However, as the scope of the war expanded, especially after the fall of France, the British mainland was no longer safe.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also soon met with US President Roosevelt. After careful negotiation, the two sides signed the "Quebec Agreement": British nuclear scientists will go to the United States to develop atomic bombs together with American scientists in order to avoid the air strikes of German bombers. The British alloy tube project was merged into the American Manhattan Project. America dominates.

Attlee remembers the sworn assurances of Churchill, then prime minister, that the Americans agreed to share all research results. But he now asks Truman to share the information, which has been denied.

"Truman is indeed a perfidious man." Churchill was never so strong and arrogant at other times on this issue. "What did Roosevelt promise me?"

"Roosevelt?" Attlee curled his lips. "At that time, you advocated the incorporation of the Manhattan Project. But now? Truman rejected me directly and wanted to keep the nuclear bomb research materials for himself. The United States can use it to deal with Japan, Or there is the Soviet Union, and there is no guarantee that it will not be used to blackmail us in the future.”

"Let our scientists go back to China immediately, I don't believe that a nuclear bomb can't be built without the Americans?" Regardless of the rare Churchill who was in a state of shame, Attlee said coldly, he was ready to go back to London .

The revitalization of the British economy, this time including the restart of the alloy tube plan, is far more important than the Potsdam Conference in his eyes.

Alan Wilson didn't know yet that the first backstab of the United States against Britain after the war was a little earlier than in history.

In the original history, the United States officially refused to share the nuclear program information with the United Kingdom after Japan surrendered, and gave Attlee a backstab who had just come to power.

Unexpectedly, at the Potsdam Conference, after Prime Minister Attlee learned that the US nuclear test was successful, he asked about the original agreement, which made Truman's refusal a few months earlier.

On the other hand, Alan Wilson is still worrying about gains and losses because of Yugoslav refugees~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but he doesn't know Churchill, who is already the former prime minister, is more embarrassed than anyone at this moment, and is also connoted by his original deputy Attlee. Fan.

"Sir Edward, what should I do? Settled in the British occupation area, from my personal point of view, this is a rude request." Alan Wilson found Edward Bridges to complain, "The Americans treat their own people like this. close allies."

Edward Bridges didn't look at it, and thought to himself, "Have you seen anything more rude?"

It is impossible for Aaron Wilson to know that Prime Minister Attlee was rejected by Truman, but as a cabinet secretary, Edward Bridges is naturally clear. I know that the current Prime Minister is very dissatisfied with the perfidy of the United States.

Alan Wilson naturally didn't know about the backstab this time, but he knew that the one that was coming soon, in the month of Japan's surrender, the United States stopped financing and lending to Britain in the name of the end of the war.

"The placement of the Yugoslavs in the British-occupied area will only bring chaos to the currently fragile British-occupied area." Edward Bridges shook his head, "The Americans are pushing their problems to us, and we must accept it. As you said, it's a rude request."

"How about sending these people to the colony?" Alexander Cadogan said suddenly, "It can be out of sight and out of mind, and maybe it can be used."

"Oh, a good suggestion." Edward Bridges nodded with approval, "Which is the most suitable."

"Rhodesia, white immigration has begun to take shape." Alexander Cadogan thought, "or British Malaya, don't the French and Dutch have to go back? We should also add some Malayan ones. strength."
