On the verge of victory in World War II, Churchill took the initiative to launch a secret invitation, and there were two invitees, Stalin, the head of the Soviet Union, and Roosevelt, the president of the United States.
"The two arrived first!" I'm sorry! Something was delayed, I came late! Churchill took off his coat as he spoke.
Roosevelt closed his eyes and pondered, stalin smoking a cigar while looking at the newspaper in his hand without even lifting his head, and it was obvious that the leaders of the two superpowers were not very impressed with the fat man in front of them, and even looked down on him a little.

As the most powerful prime minister in the history of Britain in the 20th century, Churchill had to endure the impoliteness of the other side, he was afraid of Stalin, he looked at stalin's slowly spitting out smoke rings, and hated this man with two big beards, but Churchill had to endure, and the supreme leader of the Soviet Union sitting in front of him had just beaten the Germans everywhere and had more than ten million troops in his hands, and Churchill had to be afraid.
As for Roosevelt, Churchill hated his hypocrisy, and when the nations of the world were fighting each other, the only strongman in The history of the United States to be re-elected for four consecutive terms closed the door of the United States, made a fortune in a muffled voice, and rushed to the final moment to compete for the fruits of the victory of the war.
But Churchill had to admit the strength of the United States, and made a superficially extremely deferential attitude toward the old man in the wheelchair in front of him. Churchill understood that he could not rely on the Soviet Union, after all, the British system was very different from the Soviet system, and he could only rely on the United States controlled by the lame old man Roosevelt.
The "sun never sets" empire that has dominated the world for nearly 200 years is now eclipsed, the whole of Britain has been beaten by the German army, and the hegemony that was snatched from Portugal and the Netherlands has ceased to exist.
Churchill thought of this with some sadness, but there was nothing he could do, in order to continue the glory of the British, he had to lower his status, and he vowed to do this only in front of the two people in front of him, and the others did not think.
Churchill himself liked to smoke cigars, but at this time he hated the smell of cigars emanating from Stalin's body, and Stalin may be the only one in the world today who dares to smoke so unscrupulously in front of him.
This secret meeting, nominally proposed by Churchill, was actually proposed by Roosevelt first, and the two of them reached a consensus that they could not sit idly by while the Soviet Union became stronger, because at this time the Soviet army had swept through all of Eastern Europe, and Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and other countries were all under the control of the Soviet Union.
Faced with this fait accompli, Churchill and Roosevelt felt an unprecedented pressure to continue their advance into Western Europe.
Churchill was anxious to "divide the booty" and hastily organized this secret meeting, and he was the first to say: "Your Excellency Stalin! As the victorious countries that are about to win, we have absolute say in the world pattern, should we discuss the division of the world pattern in the future? ”
Only then was Stalin willing to put down the newspaper in his hand, looking at the fat man in front of him, and he said lightly: "What is your opinion?" ”
Churchill, as if not to be outdone, lit a cigar, spat out a smoke ring slowly, and continued: "I have made a list, your excellency please look at it!" ”
Churchill took a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it and handed it to Stalin, which was very simple, mainly listing the regions occupied by the army of which country, and the percentage of a certain country that was distributed by the three of them in detail.
For example, Romecia: Russia accounts for 90%, the United States accounts for 5%, and the United Kingdom accounts for 5%. Divisions like this have put more than a dozen countries across Europe on the list.
Stalin agreed, picked up the blue pencil on the table and ticked the paper, and Churchill was overjoyed and said to Stalin: "Leave this list for your excellency to keep!" ”
Stalin smiled softly and said, "Keep it!" ”

Roosevelt never spoke the whole time, he had been observing Stalin's words and deeds, and he already knew Churchill very well, but Stalin was a person he could never see through.
Stalin glanced at Roosevelt and knew in his heart that Churchill had given him only one person, roosevelt had not looked at it, and it was obvious that Roosevelt had already known the contents of the list, and he and Churchill had long been in collusion.
Roosevelt had his own calculations in mind, and for Churchill, he had seen the weakness and exhaustion of England at this time, and was no longer his opponent. Looking at the whole world, the United States and Britain are fighting a bloody war with Italy, it is no accident that Italy will soon be defeated, Germany has been defeated, and Stalin's Soviet Union can compete with itself, the soviet union's military strength should not be underestimated, there are more than ten million soldiers, weapons and equipment are not bad.
But Roosevelt does not seem to be so worried, to know that so far in World War II, the war has never been ignited in the United States, although the Soviet Union won the German army, the whole country has been beaten into a honeycomb, economic strength has been thrown away by the United States a few streets, think about the fact that the Soviet Union has long been a foreign power, it is not so terrible.
If so, why did Roosevelt sit here and negotiate with Stalin? Roosevelt touched his face, sighed, and said, "Welcome, Your Excellency Stalin!" Join the victorious nations! After this time, The Second World War was not completely won, and Roosevelt had already said this.
Stalin did not speak, but only nodded his head, stalin now did not take anyone seriously, Churchill had been identified by him as Roosevelt's follower, as for Roosevelt, Stalin was only a little jealous, but not afraid.
Stalin once said to his men: "Roosevelt will only take your rubles, and Churchill will steal the last Kopeck in your pocket!" ”
This sentence obviously put Churchill in a more powerful position, and now Stalin has begun to deny himself this sentence, Churchill is certainly shrewd, but with the current situation of England, Churchill is not terrible no matter how shrewd, and the real opponent is only Roosevelt in front of him.
Stalin waved his hand to get up and leave, but Roosevelt spoke at this point, saying, "Wait a minute! Your Excellency Stalin! We don't seem to have discussed the division of The Asian landscape yet! ”
Stalin turned his back on Roosevelt and said: "The pattern of Asia seems to be unsuitable for discussion on today's occasion. ”
Stalin knew very well that the Asian pattern had a greater impact on the Soviet Union than Europe, and he would not easily fall for Churchill and Roosevelt, and he would wait until the dust of the war settled.
This secret meeting, the three most influential heads of state in the world at present, a few words, a list will arrange the fate of more than a dozen European countries, hundreds of millions of people, in the end who is really stealing the fruits of victory in World War II? Or is it that the victors are conspiring to divide the world?

< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the Yalta Conference, the three heads of state met again to divide the Asian landscape at the expense of our Chinese interests</h1>
On February 4, 1945, Churchill and Roosevelt came to Yalta in the Soviet Union to participate in the conference, and the division of the European pattern and the post-war treatment of Germany had been clearly explained in the last secret meeting, but in fact, this public meeting was mainly to deal with the division of the Asian pattern.
And this issue is beyond Churchill's ability, or with his and Britain's current strength, it is no longer qualified to participate in the asian pattern.
Roosevelt and Stalin had different positions on the division of the Asian sphere of influence, Roosevelt was like a shrewd businessman at this time, the Asian power was not enough to influence the United States at present, all he had to do was to try his best to win more war benefits for the United States.
Stalin attached great importance to the Asian pattern, because the Soviet Union bordered too many Asian countries, especially china, with a vast territory, and the monetary interests were still secondary, and territorial interests were more important than anything else, which Stalin knew very well.
As soon as Churchill got off the plane, he began to complain: "Why do you have to choose a meeting in Yalta?" The place is tattered and dirty and it's dead cold! ”
Churchill understood that the meeting was just a foil, so he was angry a lot, but he couldn't change anything.
After the meeting began, the discussion on the division of the European pattern and the handling of the problem of post-war Germany was soon concluded, because it had already been discussed before, and this time the Yalta Conference was just to take these two topics out for a formality!
Roosevelt smiled and said, "What do you think about Japan's post-war handling of the problem and the division of power in the Far East?" ”
When Churchill heard this, he closed his mouth tightly, this topic was no longer something he could participate in!
Stalin, holding a pipe, asked, "Your Excellency Roosevelt!" What do you think? Let's talk about it first! ”
Roosevelt was also not polite, directly saying: "Our foothold is that the United States and the Soviet Union will unite to declare war on Japan, but this will also require other Asian countries to pay!" To meet our conditions! ”
Roosevelt paused and looked at Stalin, who waved his hand to let Roosevelt continue.
Roosevelt continued: "I propose to divide Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands in the south to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union can use China's Dalian and medium-long railways, and can also promote the independence of Outer Mongolia and stabilize the situation in Asia!" ”
For Roosevelt's words, I can only use two words to describe, that is, shameless!
As the country that has been fighting against Japan for the longest time, has achieved the highest achievements, and has invested the most manpower and material resources, China has been excluded from discussing China's territorial issues, and it is also necessary to be carved away by other countries to take away a piece of land of 100,000 square kilometers.
After listening to Roosevelt's words, Stalin nodded in agreement, and the US-Soviet alliance traded Chinese interests excessively.
The Yalta system decided by the Yalta Conference fundamentally only safeguarded the interests of the great powers, and for many developing countries, their interests were divided and suppressed by the Yalta system.
This situation was not really broken until the emergence of two great Chinese men, one is the great leader Chairman Mao, and the other is the beloved Premier Zhou.

< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the real purpose of the United States is North Korea, to deal with the North Korean pattern to expose Roosevelt's ambitions, and to lay the hidden dangers of the subsequent Korean War</h1>
Roosevelt's ambitions were really exposed when it came to North Korea, first by sacrificing China's interests to satisfy the Soviet Union, thereby stabilizing the Soviet Union and gaining its support, and then began to pursue his own interests.
Roosevelt said: "Regarding North Korea, my proposal is to implement a trusteeship system, with three representatives sent by three parties to jointly administer North Korea, which may be a long period of time, maybe 20 years, or 30 years!" ”
Stalin was not stupid, he did not want the United States to participate in the Asian landscape, but the current situation is impossible to completely prevent the Americans from meddling in Asia.
So Stalin immediately said: "This proposal is very good, but we want to shorten the time to manage Korea, and I suggest that after the victory of the war, Korea should be allowed to become independent!" ”
It was only then that Roosevelt understood what Churchill had said to himself, and Churchill had said: "Stalin is a fierce man, and it is difficult to get a bargain from him!" ”
Roosevelt did not agree with Stalin's words, and he had his own plan for North Korea, that is, to annex the interests of the DPRK and use it as a springboard to encroach on China's interests.
It was Roosevelt's intention that triggered later internal conflicts in North Korea, with Syngman Rhee and Kim Il Sung falling out, and the U.S.-British coalition army entering Korea to fight.
After the Yalta Conference, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin all achieved their goals and went away with joy.
After Roosevelt returned, MacArthur came to question Roosevelt and said, "With the current strength of the United States, it is completely possible to defeat Japan, so why do we have to unite with the Soviet Union?" We can obviously swallow the fruits of the entire victory in the war against Japan! ”
Roosevelt had always disliked MacArthur, and he admitted that what MacArthur said was reasonable, but MacArthur did not understand politics, and his statement was unrealistic, for three main reasons:
The United States wanted to completely abandon the Soviet Union and seize the fruits of the victory in the war against Japan alone, which was impossible with the strong strength of the Soviet Union at this time.
The United States can spend a lot of military expenses to fight, but it cannot sacrifice too many soldiers, because the domestic people will not allow such a situation to occur.
The research on the American atomic bomb is about to succeed, but who can guarantee that this thing will be made? In the unlikely event that an atomic bomb could not be built in the end, then the United States would have to sacrifice a lot in the war against Japan, and pulling the Soviet Union could divide up many risks.

Roosevelt's old treacherous monster was incomparable to MacArthur, and politically speaking, MacArthur and Roosevelt could only be regarded as elementary school students!
But soon after Roosevelt died, Truman became president of the United States, and he continued to implement Roosevelt's attitude toward North Korea, and the Korean War was inevitable.
But it was Chairman Mao who completely smashed the American conspiracy, and he saw at a glance that the interests that north Korea could bring could not satisfy the Americans, and the real intention of the Americans was to use North Korea as a springboard to seek more interests on Chinese soil.
The wise Chairman Mao then decided to aid Korea, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, and the Americans never dreamed that their powerful army would be defeated by the poorly equipped Chinese People's Volunteer Army.
