Following the vine that was Donald Maclean, the British intelligence department soon dug up several other enormous melons and nearly wiped out all the spies Russia had infiltrated into Cambridge University.
The good news was that, since the Russian intelligence department's infiltration had only lasted a few years, the British aristocratic heirs who had been recruited, led by Donald Maclean, had not betrayed much British intelligence.
At least for now, Russia had not obtained much military technology or industrial data through its intelligence department. Things had not yet reached their worst.
But regardless of the consequences, traitors like Donald Maclean who sold out British interests were certain to receive severe punishment.
First, among the principal offenders, the highest-ranking were secretly executed, while even the lowest-ranking were sentenced to at least twenty years in prison.
At the same time, the Anglo-French-Australasian powers agreed to strengthen their supervision of Russian immigrants, preventing Russian spies from infiltrating their ranks and penetrating every line of work in the three countries.
There was no helping it. For the three nations, this entirely different ideology was what they most needed to guard against.
Of course, the Anglo-French powers were not entirely cooperative with Australasia either. When it came to troop deployments, they clearly hoped Australasia would send more troops to support Europe, and even wished to bring the war to an end as soon as possible.
But that was precisely what Arthur and Australasia did not want to see. Britain had not yet been drained too badly. If the war ended too early, the British people would still be able to preserve their position as the world's hegemon.
That would create even more unknown variables for the future world order. Having Russia as an opponent was already troublesome enough; Arthur did not want the British people
