But don't forget, there are some loose radicals who deemed it
would serve them better if the WP do not make any progress.
From a political point of view, I think these people are
naive.
They should wake up their idea.
Or at least redirect their attacks away from WP and towards
PAP.
Heath: I think
the Soviet Union has a lot of troubles. They are facing domestic
economic difficulties and agricultural predicament, and there are
also differences within the leadership, over questions of tactics
and timing, not over long-term strategy.
Mao: I think the Soviet Union is busy with its own
affairs and unable to deal with Europe, the Middle East, South
Asia, China and the Pacific. I think it will lose.
Heath: However, its military strength is
continually augmented. Although the Soviet Union has encountered
troubles at many places in the world, its strength is continuing to
grow. Therefore, we deem this to be the principal threat. Does the
Chairman think the Soviet Union constitutes a menace to
China?
Mao: We are prepared for it to come, but it will
collapse if it comes. It has only a handful of troops, and you
Europeans are so frightened of it! Some people in the West
are always trying to direct this calamity toward China. Your
senior, Chamberlain, and also Daladier of France were the ones who
pushed Germany eastward.
Heath: I opposed Mr. Chamberlain
then.

In order to carry out
this plan of allowing Germany to drive eastward against Russia, it
was necessary to do three things:
(1) to liquidate all the countries standing between Germany and
Russia;
(2) to prevent France from honoring her alliances with these
countries; and
(3) to hoodwink the English people into accepting this as a
necessary, indeed, the only solution to the international
problem.
The Chamberlain group were so successful in all three of these
things that they came within an ace of succeeding, and failed only
because of the obstinacy of the Poles, the unseemly haste of
Hitler, and the fact that at the eleventh hour the Milner Group
realized the implications of their policy and tried to reverse
it...
