I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 921 What audacity!
If Britain doesn't want to be marginalized, it will definitely have to join the collective security alliance.

Joining the Collective Security Alliance offers numerous benefits, including protection from invasion and the ability to leverage the Russian economic system to successfully penetrate the Russian market for British goods.

George was eyeing the British market.

Churchill was also eyeing the Russian market.

As a country with a population of nearly 3 million, Russia itself is a huge market.

World War II prompted a further influx of people into Russia, and Russia's population growth in recent years has been very significant, exceeding ten million annually.

This is also largely due to Russia's high birth rate.

Although Churchill coveted the Russian market, the British were not yet at the point of complete surrender.

Britain, with its current strength, is powerless to confront Russia.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was equally uninterested in confrontation.

Crown Prince William has made it clear that he has completely submitted to Russia.

With the loss of Germany, the United States’ influence in Europe has declined rapidly. Franklin D. Roosevelt can now only hope that the Russian leader after George will make a mistake, in which case the United States may still have a chance to make a comeback.

Choosing to confront Russia is the worst option for the United States right now.

"If Germany and France are allowed to join this damned collective security alliance, not only the United Kingdom, but America will also be completely marginalized by the world."

Churchill made efforts to persuade Roosevelt.

"No, I believe that Grand Duke Yuriev is not the kind of madman who would drag the world into the abyss for his own selfish reasons."

Franklin D. Roosevelt had confidence in George.

If George were so inclined, he could have ascended the throne and rebuilt the Russian Empire after the World War.

George not only did not do that, but also transformed Russia into a democratic country that conforms to universal values.

Although Russian-style democracy is not the same as American democracy.

It's better than the British constitutional monarchy.

Your area still has feudal remnants.

"Grand Duke Yuriev certainly wouldn't, but that's not because he's merciful, but because he wants to preserve the United Kingdom and America so everyone can see the consequences of disobeying him!"

Churchill's words were quite inspiring.

Franklin D. Roosevelt smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You mean the United Kingdom, but don't drag the United States into this."

George may have been targeting Britain.

But to say that a country with a population of 100 million and an area of ​​9.3 million square kilometers is isolated is just too far-fetched.

The United States is a self-contained system, and it can survive even without Latin American countries.

Losing the European market is indeed a huge loss for the United States, but it is not the end of the world.

The United States has passed through the most difficult phase. With its population and industrial base, the United States can lie low and wait for the right opportunity.

As for the UK.

As long as Britain does not move its capital to Canada, Franklin D. Roosevelt will not interfere with Britain's choices.

Although Canada has a small population and covers 990 million square kilometers, it is the second largest country in the world.

Canada is gradually becoming a vassal state of the United States, and if Britain were to move its capital to Canada, the United States' influence over Canada would be severely weakened.

Franklin D. Roosevelt could abandon Britain.

But Roosevelt would never give up on Asia.

Although Germany has surrendered, Japan is still resisting, and the war is not over yet.

Asia not only has the two most populous countries in the world, but also the colonies of Britain, France, and the United States in Asia, as well as Japan, which has a population of tens of millions, similar to that of Britain and France.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's current task is, on the one hand, to stop Russia's expansion in East Asia.

On the other hand, by uniting with Russia, they urged British and French colonies in Asia to sever ties with their mother countries on the basis of "national self-determination."

The most crucial one is India.

The situation in the Philippines is rather unique.

The Philippines gained independence in 1934. Afterwards, the Philippines held a referendum to become a U.S. colony again, and the referendum passed. Most Filipinos wanted to be colonized by the United States again.

To the embarrassment of Filipinos, the United States has refused to return to the Philippines.

this--

Even Indians are striving for independence, something they desperately desire.

The Philippines actually wants to return to the embrace of the United States and become a second-class citizen in the US.

The key issue is that Americans don't want it!

During their last meeting, Roosevelt and George had already reached an agreement on the India issue.

After India's independence, both Russian and American goods were allowed to enter India and compete with it.

George actually wanted to reach another agreement with Roosevelt.

If Roosevelt agrees to cede the Eastern Market to Russia.

George would certainly be happy to hand over the Indian market to the United States.

But this is just something to think about.

If George brings it up himself, it will definitely prompt Roosevelt to pay more attention to the University of the East.

That's not as bad as it is now.

With Germany's surrender, Japan's resistance had reached its end, and the Japanese government, through the church, sought to negotiate with Russia.

George declined to comment.

With the southward advance of the Russian army, the Kwantung Army, which the Japanese were so proud of, was completely wiped out by the Russian forces. This year, Russian bomber units conducted four large-scale bombing raids on the Japanese mainland, inflicting extremely heavy losses on Japan. Japan is prone to earthquakes and has a weak industrial base, so most Japanese houses are made of wood.

Russian bombers used incendiary bombs to carpet-bomb several Japanese cities, including Tokyo, which resulted in over 10 casualties.

Two weeks after the first bombing, Russian bombers carried out a second bombing raid on Tokyo.

After this bombing, Tokyo became a ghost town, losing all value for bombing.

When Crown Prince William wanted to negotiate, George had only one condition: unconditional surrender.

Now the Japanese want to talk, but George is ignoring them.

That's how you deal with Japan: unless you really hurt them and make them submit, they won't admit defeat or beg for mercy.

George not only wanted to subdue the Japanese, but also to completely defeat them in a way that the Japanese would approve of.

Only in this way will Japan obediently become Russia's watchdog in the Pacific.

As the conference was held in Constantinople, the Russian army entered Berlin after the German army laid down its arms, and the war came to a complete end.

To George's surprise, Polish Prime Minister Sikorski, who was in exile in Britain, not only demanded that Russian troops withdraw from Poland as quickly as possible, but also demanded that Russia return Polish territory to Poland.

When George learned of Sikorski's demands, he was amused by the Polish man's anger.

During Sikorski's rule, Poland became a bridgehead for Britain and France to contain Russia and Germany, causing Russia a lot of trouble.

After the German army occupied Poland, more than 30 Poles participated in the invasion of Russia as German auxiliary troops.

George not only planned to cede Russian territory to Poland, but also refused to allow the Polish government-in-exile to return to Poland.

Since you enjoy exile so much, then just stay in exile.

There are also quite a few Poles living in Russia.

George will form a new Polish government and completely transform Poland into an ally of Russia.

To George's surprise, just after he refused Sikorski's request to return to Poland, Sikorski suddenly died in a plane crash in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Although Poland's mainland fell, Poland did not lose all its troops.

After arriving in Britain, Sikorski called on the Poles in exile there to form an army and continue to fight against Germany.

Sikorsky died in a plane crash on his way back to Britain after inspecting troops stationed in North Africa.

Rumors then circulated that Sikorsky had been assassinated by Russia.

That's utter nonsense.

If Russia wanted to kill Sikersky, why didn't it do it sooner or later? It just so happened that Russia rejected Sikersky's request before eliminating him.

Is this because they're worried the direction isn't clear enough?

George was in no hurry to respond, as Britain was investigating Sikorsky's death, and George awaited the results.

George was concerned about who had started the rumors.

"Is that even a question? It's definitely the British!"

Vasily guessed blindly.

It's not exactly a guess; there aren't many countries that are suspected.

Sikorsky was traveling on a British military aircraft. The pilots and crew were Polish, but the maintenance was handled by the British military, making it easy for the British government to tamper with the aircraft.

Why did the British kill Sikorsky?

George did not believe it was the British who did it.

The British would only kill Sikorsky if he were prepared to defect to Russia.

George never overestimated Britain's moral bottom line.

"Then who do you think did it?"

Vasily insisted that even if the British did not do it, they must have done it.

Only in this way can we fully extract the last bit of remaining value from Sikorsky.

"It could also be due to internal power struggles."

George did not want to associate with the Onsa gang.

If Russia is distorting the truth and calling a deer a horse, then what is the difference between Russia and the Onsat gang?
George wanted to establish a new international order.

It is not a continuation of Britain's colonization and exploitation of the world.

After the formation of Poland, Sikorski served as the Prime Minister of Poland until he was overthrown in a coup by Piłsudski.

Although Poland was a relatively young country, its domestic situation was extremely complex. As the saying goes, "a shallow pond has many turtles, and a small temple has many demons." Sikorski had many political enemies in Poland, and each of them was a suspect.

Even if Russia doesn't return the territory to Poland, Polish politicians still see Poland as a lucrative target.

During the period of the government-in-exile, Polish military and political leaders were still able to unite against a common enemy.

Now that the war is over and Poland is about to be restored to its former glory, those who were dissatisfied with Sikorski immediately jumped out to seize the fruits of victory.

"Do you have evidence?"

Vasily thought that George had some dirty secrets.

George shrugged. "How could there be any evidence for something like that?"

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, George did not only restrict Sikorski from returning to Poland, but also prevented all members of the government-in-exile from returning to Poland.

Churchill probably also realized that letting the rumors fester would be detrimental to Britain.

Soon after, the UK released the results of its investigation, concluding that Sikorsky died in an accident, not from murder.

Even if it is, it has nothing to do with Russia.
