MacArthur was relatively rational. His plan was based on the premise that the Russians would continue to cross the border in retaliation. The implication was that if the Russians stopped crossing the border, MacArthur could pretend that this incident had never happened.
This way of handling the situation is very American. When facing opponents of comparable size, the United States is always unusually calm and rational.
The Russians were also rough and tumble. Instead of retaliating directly against the Americans, they took out their anger on the Peninsular people. They exchanged more than 40 people for one, which did not make MacArthur lose his mind and maintained Russia's dignity. This method of handling was also very Russian.
In order to maintain peace on the peninsula, An Qi did some work.
The U.S. military and the Russians are too close to each other, separated only by a blockade made of barbed wire. This is not conducive to peaceful coexistence and easing conflicts. It is better to keep them far away.
"Using the current dividing line as the boundary, each side retreats 500 meters and does not have direct contact, which can avoid most conflicts." Angel does not want the conflicts to escalate. MacArthur and Vasilevsky are sensible.
MacArthur and Vasilevsky were in high positions and considered issues more comprehensively. They did not go to the front line and did not have to face each other's provocations all the time. Their feelings were different from those of the officers and soldiers on duty on the front line.
The frontline has reached the level of cross-border retaliation. The severity can be imagined. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is in danger.
Therefore, the best way is to take a step back, so that both parties do not appear in the other's field of vision. The other party cannot hear you shouting at the top of your lungs. Even if it is provocative, the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Physical isolation is of little significance. What we need is each other's understanding of each other, so as to effectively avoid the escalation of conflicts." MacArthur disagreed with Angel's proposal for insufficient reasons.
Americans and Russians can't be expected to understand each other unless they go back in time to 1867.
That year, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million.
Then the relationship between the two countries took a sharp turn for the worse.
Since we cannot understand each other, we cannot coexist peacefully.
MacArthur was not a fool. He did not agree with physical isolation, and he must have had his own intentions.
If Roark was present, An Qi would not have such doubts.
Compared with the United States, Southern Africa has a relatively friendly attitude towards interests. At least it has a bottom line and will not provoke two world wars for the sake of interests.
After World War I, Britain still had illusions about the United States. World War II made Britain completely understand the true face of the United States. The British ruling class headed by George VI completely gave up on the United States.
Although Attlee was in Washington, he communicated with King George VI by telegram every day. Attlee also reported Truman's requests to George VI as soon as possible.
George VI was not good at foreign affairs and did not know how to deal with this matter. He hoped to get valuable advice from Roque.
"The Americans want to use us to fight against Russia. We can also use the Americans to solve the current predicament. We only need an attitude towards Russia." Winston finally learned his lesson and no longer chooses direct confrontation.
Cooperation with Americans will not end well. Just look at Germany and Japan and you will know the consequences of cooperation with Americans.
Before the outbreak of World War II, without the support of the United States, the ambitions of Germany and Japan would not have expanded so fast.
Rock was not in a hurry to express his position, and George VI's purpose was also very clear. If the British could not get the help they wanted from southern Africa, then Britain would choose to cooperate with the Americans.
If the United States wants to use Britain as a weapon, it must give Britain some sweeteners.
As for whether Britain will charge into the war as designed by the Americans, that is another question.
Winston wanted to get the benefits first, but Americans also tend to ignore rabbits before they see them.
"The Americans want to provoke a conflict with Russia in order to solve the serious economic crisis in the United States, and they will not hesitate to kidnap the whole world. We should expose the Americans' conspiracy and let everyone see the true face of the Americans." George VI's attitude
Even more intensely, he is a person with a clear distinction between love and hate and is not good at hiding his emotions.
"To this day, who is still unclear about the role the United States played in the two world wars?" Rock had to say that Britain was still very important in southern Africa's plans.
The United States knows that it uses the threat of Russia to kidnap Europe and increase its influence in Europe. Naturally, Southern Africa will not ignore it.
The current situation is very complicated. European countries are directly facing the threat from Russia. They have either joined the Russian camp, or the forces leaning towards the Communist International have gained an advantage in domestic elections and have too much to worry about.
The United Kingdom is the only European country that has a firm stance, but Britain's "firm stance" is also conditional. From Attlee's previous adventures, it is not difficult to see that the contradiction between Britain and Russia is not irreconcilable. If it cannot be understood from southern Africa or the United States,
If we can get more benefits, then sooner or later the UK will choose a more peaceful foreign policy due to internal and external troubles.
The UK is not yet completely at peace, so the conflict will become more difficult.
If Britain really disarms completely and transforms from continental equilibriumism to a welfare state as planned by Attlee, then southern Africa will lose its frontline against Russia.
"Truman is ambitious. Russia is his only chance to be re-elected as president. Even if Russia does not pose a threat, Truman will create a threat." Rock was suddenly curious, if Roosevelt was still alive, how would he respond?
Most likely they will choose to win over Russia rather than confront it.
Hyping up the Russian threat must have a basis in public opinion.
Europe has been completely defeated by two world wars. Peace is the theme. From the overall dominance of the forces leaning towards the Communist International in the European elections, it is not difficult to find that Europeans actually don’t care whether they are socialist or capitalist. If the Russian model can give Europe
Bring peace, then Europeans will embrace Russia without hesitation.
Under such circumstances, we can only take advantage of the situation and deliberately exaggerate the Russian threat, which will only make Europeans more rebellious.
"Let's wait and see. The United States will definitely provoke a conflict with Russia in a certain area. Do we need to restart military production?"
Southern Africa doesn't matter.
Around southern Africa, the Southern African federal government has absolute control.
"Impossible, southern Africa cannot afford a new war." Sidney Milner firmly objected. Although Stoudemire's proposal was more ridiculing, Sidney did not miss any sign.
"Can't you see that the Americans want to fight a proxy war? Let's do the same thing, rearm the Japanese and let the Japanese attack Russia." Stoudemire knew how deep Rock's hatred of Japan was, so this suggestion
It's still very tempting to Rock.
Just thinking about it.
If Japan really rearms, I'm afraid Japan will choose to join forces with Russia to fight against southern Africa.
"There is no need to attack, we just need to maintain the threat, let Russia maintain a strong military power, and consume Russia to death." Winston enthusiastically participated in the discussion and made more constructive suggestions.
For a country like Russia, direct confrontation is unrealistic. Germany is a lesson learned from the past.
Big Beard is also very ambitious now. Not only does he want to continue to maintain strong military power, but he also puts forward unrealistic demands on multiple projects such as super weapons, long-range rockets, and large fleets. Winston is waiting to see the Russians' jokes.
Winston had no idea how much it would cost to research superweapons and rockets.
Winston still has deep experience in building a large fleet.
If Britain had not made mistakes in its decision-making and wasted too much strength on the Royal Navy, Britain would not be where it is today.
The navy was originally a bottomless pit. Now that the technological content of warships is getting higher and higher, the cost has naturally increased. Russia's attempt to build a large fleet seems to be seeking death.
Of course, this is not absolute. Russia is a country that has brought too many surprises to people, and many unconventional things would not be unacceptable if they happened in Russia.
"In any case, Southern Africa will not participate in the confrontation with Russia." Roque set the tone and would not follow the big stick command of the United States and restrict Russia in its own way.
Rock doesn't want to fight three battles, and neither does Big Beard. Hemp stalks are afraid of fighting wolves.
Russia seems to be launching a full-scale attack, but it is actually a bluff. What Southern Africa knows about the situation is that except for the super weapon that has been put into practice, everything else is just a paper plan.
Russia does not have huge overseas interests to safeguard. As a country with traditional land power, why does it need a large fleet?
Like other countries, Russia is actually disarmament and is expected to retain only an army with a total strength of no more than 1.5 million people, making the total size smaller than before the outbreak of the world war.
Although the scale is smaller, the combat effectiveness has not decreased but increased, and the deterrence force is even greater.
Before the outbreak of World War II, Russia's 2.9 million-strong army was mostly a traditional army. The tanks and aircraft equipped were seriously backward. They were products of World War I and their performance was seriously lagging behind.
When Germany surrendered, Russia had a huge army of over ten million, many of which had experienced the test of war. It would be a pity to disband these troops directly. Russia selected the best of the best and allowed the best officers and soldiers to stay in the army.
Tanks and artillery that are in service and no longer needed are not dismantled but sealed and can be used at any time.
There is no doubt about the bravery of Russian soldiers, but their biggest shortcoming is logistics.
After disarmament, Russia's logistics have been greatly improved. There are now more than 4 million Axis prisoners of war in Russia who are actively participating in Russia's post-war reconstruction, and basic transportation construction is the focus.
Speaking of prisoners of war, this is another sore point for the British.
During World War II, a total of nearly 2 million Axis troops surrendered to the British army. Of these 2 million, except for about 300,000 who were sent to France to participate in France's post-war reconstruction, most of them were released by the British army after Germany surrendered.
Russia did not immediately release the prisoners of war. Not only did it not release them, but after the war, in the name of post-war liquidation, it took about 500,000 people into prisoner-of-war camps for labor reform, including many prisoners of war released by the British army.
Because Russian prisoners of war were brutally abused by the Germans during the war, the working conditions of these Axis prisoners of war in Russia were very harsh. The 90,000 prisoners of war surrendered by the German Sixth Army in the Battle of Volgograd were less than 100,000 prisoners of war after undergoing labor reform.
Only 6,000 people remained in one year.
The Russians' management of prisoners of war is similar to Australia's.
Of course, the effect is also very significant, so Russia does not encounter as serious problems in post-war reconstruction as Britain and France.
"Are we just going to let the Russian model spread in Europe?" George VI was very disappointed. The Americans wanted to use Britain as their weapon, while George VI wanted to use southern Africa as their weapon.
"Of course not. What I have always insisted on is that Europeans' problems should be solved by Europeans themselves." Roque is really not singing a high-key tone, but he cannot help.
George VI all knew to turn to Roque when he had problems, and the French and Italians were no exception.
The current situation in France and Italy is more serious than that in the UK. Although the ruling party in the UK is the Labor Party, it is essentially selling sheep over dogs and is no different from the Conservative Party.
Both France and Italy are facing general elections. In France, the workers' alliance is fully dominant. In Italy, the Catholic Democratic Party once dominated, but now its advantage is getting smaller and smaller. More and more Italians are influenced by Russia and hope to use the Russian model to transform the entire country.
This is also understandable. How many people are there in the aristocracy and bourgeoisie? Most people are workers and farmers. If the entire country is transformed using the Russian model, then workers and farmers will become the masters of the country.
Compared with France, the largest fence-sitter in Europe, Italy is not inferior. When Germany swept across Europe in the early days, Italy followed the Germans and shouted loudly, getting many benefits that should not belong to Italy in the first place, and making a lot of war fortune.
As the Axis forces suffered successive setbacks in Russia, Italy decisively surrendered, and the farce during World War I was repeated. In order to win over Italy, the Allies turned a blind eye to Italy's speculation, which gave the Italians the courage to continue speculating.
Continuous speculation gave the Italians the illusion that they could change positions at will without being punished.
Now Italy is once again at a crossroads, with the country moving towards Russia and the Catholic Democratic Party in jeopardy. The librarian is currently in Cyprus, hoping to get more help from southern Africa.
If Roque wants to meet the demands of the Italians, he has to give each Italian one million rand, so as to gain the short-term loyalty of the Italians.
De Gaulle is currently in Cyprus. He is not here to seek assistance, but to take a vacation.
It's strange, now that France is in a critical stage of post-war reconstruction, how could de Gaulle be in the mood for a vacation?
It’s impossible not to take a holiday. As French Prime Minister, de Gaulle is inevitably affected by the frequent changes of his predecessors. He recently resigned and is unemployed. ()
