Chapter 418 Atlantic Charter
As long as the German army firmly occupied this place, it could bomb the Soviet Union's Eurasian Railway and the Ural Industrial Zone at any time. This was equivalent to cutting the Soviet Union into two disconnected halves, and it also directly threatened the source of the Soviet Union's war, the Ural Industrial Zone. If this situation occurred, the demise of the Soviet Union would be inevitable. Stalin did not understand strategy, but of course he also saw the sinister intentions of Li Mo, the commander-in-chief of the front-line army group of the German Southern Army Group, and quickly sent his most capable general, General Huasilevsky.
General Huasilevsky received Stalin's order and quickly dispatched troops to rush to Olsk. General Huasilevsky knew the importance of Olsk very clearly. It can be said that at this time, Orsk was a city that was related to the life and death of the Soviet Union. These German and Italian SS must be eliminated as soon as possible, even if countless soldiers were sacrificed, they would be spared.
However, General Huasilevsky did not blindly use troops. Instead, after carefully analyzing some of the situations in the Olsk SS, he suggested that Stalin put his stance, lower his posture, give up political differences, and immediately send senior officials to visit Britain, France and the United States, and even sign an anti-EU treaty with them.
Because General Huasilevsky carefully analyzed the situation and suggested that Stalin did this. The total attack force of the rogue countries in the EU, Germany, reached more than 8 million, while the regular Soviet army was only 5.5 million, and it was a large-scale purge. The combat effectiveness was indeed very poor. From the Soviet-Finn War, it can be seen that the third-rate army like the Finnish army made the Soviet Red Army pay a very heavy price, which made General Huasilevs very clearly see the true combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.
The troops were not superior, and the quality of the troops was not as good as that of the EU army, let alone weapons and technology. In this case, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to defeat the EU invasion alone with its own strength, so General Huasilevsky suggested that Stalin find the three countries of England, France and the United States to form an alliance.
Does Britain, France and the United States understand the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? Of course, I understand. Don’t think that the military commanders of capitalist countries are idiots, that is brainwashing and bragging. The leaders of the three countries of Britain, France and the United States all know that once the EU eliminates the Soviet Union, the EU will obtain the inexhaustible minerals of the Soviet Union, and then the EU will take over the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, but these imperialist countries have their own small calculations to see when it is most beneficial to join the war.
The most favorable time is of course that the EU and the Soviet Union both lost. When exhausted, the best situation is that the last EU soldier killed the last Soviet soldier, and then each country of Britain, France and the United States sent one army to eliminate the only remaining EU soldier, so that Britain, France and the United States can divide the fruits of victory. Of course, this is just a beautiful wish of the imperialist country.
Because the Soviet Union could not withstand it at all, and it was almost a one-sided battle. If Britain, France and the United States ignored the Soviet Union at this time, the Soviet Union would probably not have been able to hold on for a few months. Now even the cities on the Eurasian dividing line were occupied by the German SS. The number was directly cut into two sections. This SS unit was like a sharp blade, penetrated directly into the heart of the Soviet Union - the Ural Industrial Zone.
Stalin, who realized the unprecedented serious crisis, immediately accepted General Huasilevsky's suggestion and sent his own senior officials to visit Britain, France and the United States. Of course, they all have special missions.
The leaders of Britain, France and the United States soon met with senior officials sent by the Soviet Union and learned that the Soviet Union was at a dead end at this time. Churchill and Roosevelt both felt that it would be too late to wait for Germany's tangled rogue country to completely defeat the Soviet Union.
Churchill and Roosevelt 9 days after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, on May 29, 1941, the United States and Britain urgently needed to further coordinate the anti-fascist strategy. The heads of the two countries held an Atlantic meeting on the USS Augusta warship in the Akinsha Bay in Newfoundland in the northern Atlantic Ocean on May 30, 1941, and signed the Atlantic Charter.
The full text of the document has 8 articles, declaring that the two countries do not pursue territorial or other expansion. They do not recognize the territorial changes caused by the EU through aggression and respect the right of the people of all countries to choose their government form. Restore the sovereignty of the people of all countries that have been violently deprived of, and all countries enjoy equal treatment in terms of trade and raw materials. Promote the most comprehensive economic cooperation of all countries, destroy the Nazi tyranny and rebuild peace after Nazi tyranny, and freedom of navigation in the high seas. All countries must give up their military reduction and disarm the invading countries. The purpose of fighting against EU countries and the goal of rebuilding post-war wars reflected the general principles of bourgeois democratic politics and played a positive role in the formation of the international anti-EU united front.
However, "equality of opportunities" and "freedom at sea" are conducive to the United States' strife with Britain after the war and gaining "leading status" in the world. The Atlantic Charter also reflects the contradiction between Britain and the United States in fighting for colonial interests. The United States relies on its economic strength to emphasize the principle of "equal opportunities" and "freedom at sea" into the charter, which reflects the United States' mood to compete for British colonies. At the same time, the substantial sign of the Atlantic Charter is the political alliance between Britain and the United States on the basis of anti-EU.
Of course, Stalin hoped that such an anti-EU alliance would appear the most. The Soviet Union is now in danger and shaky. If Britain, France and the United States do not extend a helping hand and directly participate in the war, the Soviet Union will not be able to stop the steel torrent of Germany at all, and it is impossible to drag the war into the cold winter. In this case, Stalin quickly expressed his opinion that he fully agreed and supported the Atlantic Charter.
As soon as the Atlantic Charter was signed, Churchill was eager to hold a meeting in London, England. On May 1, 1941, the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Poland (exile), Czechoslovakia (exile), Greece (exile), Norway and France attended the meeting. A total of twenty-one countries and regions joined the Atlantic Charter organization, which is also called the Atlantic Allies. In fact, the Atlantic Charter has become an alliance treaty of these countries.
At this time, the United States still did not declare war on the EU, because the Lease Act made the US businessmen rich and also made the United States come out from behind the scenes. The Atlantic Charter made the United States go to the rostrum again. If the United States goes to the rostrum, it does not mean that the United States will declare war and participate in the war immediately. The United States will definitely make a comprehensive evaluation. In that case, the most profit will be made. At that time, the United States will declare war and participate in the war. This is the essential decision of the United States, a capitalist country.
At least the United States has expressed its clear position against the EU, which is what Churchill wants. Churchill also knows that it is absolutely unrealistic to ask the United States to send troops to fight with Germany now. Now Churchill is relieved and starts to prepare for his actions.
