Chapter 137 Distribution of Tobacco Benefits

"Oh, Mr. Councillor, I'm actually looking forward to that day." Alan Wilson almost bowed his head and shouted to the current Harold Wilson, the future Harold Wilson, Don't forget the wealth.

As a professional civil servant, Alan Wilson cannot be biased against partisanship, and at the same time has no endorsement of Labour's misconduct. Although the current Prime Minister Attlee is indeed ready to abandon British India.

However, looking at the current situation in Britain itself, if you don't give up, will you just stand up to the friendly eyes of the United States and the Soviet Union, mobilize 1 million soldiers, and go to India to fight non-stop just after the end of World War II?

France was much more resolute about the colonies than Britain, and when de Gaulle came to power, he held a referendum on the Algerian question in France, and if he continued the war, he would be conscripted, and the national mobilization would fight Algeria to the end, and finally France would evacuate Algeria after the referendum.

By the time Harold Wilson came to power, it was already the sixties, and the situation in the British Empire had deteriorated even more significantly. The more and more colonies were lost, and with the population and resources of Britain itself, it was impossible to afford a huge army, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

At the Potsdam Conference, Labour Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevan also said at the time of his handover to the Conservative Party: "Our obligations on foreign policy have not changed in the slightest. His Majesty's Government will never accept the view that Britain is no longer a great power, or that we are no longer a great power. We still have an important historical mission. ”

Harold Wilson, who had completed his research in the British-occupied territory, returned to Hanover and returned to London on a military plane.

Alan Wilson asked Alim to come over and ask about the tobacco production line and how many tobacco leaves were brought on board to start production.

As far as the current situation in Germany is concerned, Alan Wilson said that the Germans are not qualified to be picky at all, just smoke, but they can't even deal with grass leaves. In this case, there is only a question of having and not having it, not a question of whether it is good or not.

"There are less than 3,000 tons of tobacco leaves! They are all grown by tobacco farmers in South India. Alim thought for a moment and gave the answer, "Maharaja Ali Khan, he takes great care of the needs of the commissioner. Subsequent acquisitions are still underway, and there are still freighters carrying tobacco leaves at sea in the Indian Ocean. ”

"It's enough for a short time." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, it was enough for a short time. He didn't know what level of tobacco demand in Germany was, but he knew that when New China was just established, the annual output of tobacco leaves in the country was only 70,000 tons.

Even if they don't all smoke, China's population is there, and the population of the British-occupied zone is more than one-third of the population in the occupied area of the four countries, but it is definitely less than 30 million people, and most of them are women. As long as there is not too much gap, the profit from this sale is simply not calculable.

"Sail up the Rhine to bring the machine and tobacco to Bonn, and I'll talk to Timbrand and Hadrow." Alan Wilson's heart was pounding, and he decided to contribute the benefits of tobacco employment to the future citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany.

After all, London has now regarded Bonn as a model for the reconstruction and restoration of the British-occupied territory. Alan Wilson also had to make a small contribution for the sake of the face of the British Empire.

Asked Alim to do the transshipment business, Alan Wilson directly drove the civilian version of the Mercedes-Benz to the headquarters of the British Occupied Zone Trade Commission, and directly found the two actual managers of the current Trade Commission, Tim Brand and Harold, and after avoiding the others, he entered the main topic in a hurry.

"I brought a batch of machines and raw materials from British India to prepare for production in Germany. Sir Barron of British India was of great help. Alan Wilson sat down and spoke unhurriedly.

"And then?" Timbrand sat in his place and asked noncommittally.

"It's a tobacco production line, and there are more than 2,000 tons of tobacco leaves." Alan Wilson spoke in a hurry.

"What?" The two Deputy Secretaries-General blurted out, stood up at about the same time, and stared at Alan Wilson.

What is in demand in Germany now, and the two deputy secretaries-general who are already in charge of the trade commissions in the British occupation zone will not know?

The two knew too well that cigarettes were now almost gold, a hard currency that was rampant in the British occupation zone and even in the whole of Germany. It is also safe to assume that there are only varying degrees of difference within Europe.

With cigarettes, you have almost everything, paintings, cultural relics, gold jewelry, all of this. It's not an exaggerated imagination at all, it's a fact in front of us.

Now Alan Wilson said that a tobacco production line with tobacco leaves had arrived at the port, and the news was like a high-explosive bomb placed in front of the two deputy secretaries-general, which made their ears buzz and their heads were blank for a while.

"Alan!" Harold licked the corners of his hair and just spoke, but Timbrand reached out to stop his colleague and said with a smile, "I believe that Sir Barron must have spent a lot of effort to make this transportation possible." Of course, as the liaison officer between British India and Europe, Alan, you must have worked hard for this. ”

"Yes, Deputy Secretary-General." In an instant, Alan Wilson did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and maintained the politeness and respect when he first entered, "It was mainly the colleagues in British India who worked hard, and I myself just happened to be there and made a small contribution." ”

"In fact, from the reception of Congressman Wilson, Harold and I could tell at a glance that you are a person who is passionate about your work." Timbrand said slowly, "I have no intention of interfering with your work, since we have been on the Board of Trade together until now, Harold and I have not dictated your work, and now that I think about it, we should be happy to work together." ”

"I am very grateful for the cooperation with the two Deputy Secretaries-General, and I have learned a lot from the two Deputy Secretaries-General." Alan Wilson agreed, following the words of the two deputy secretaries-general.

"That's good." Timbrand paused slightly and said, "Well, Allen, let's be honest, what kind of help would you like us to provide, or what do you have a unique view on the issue of promoting the re-employment of the German people in the British occupation zone?" ”

"Tobacco is something that is suddenly put into the market, and it can cause price fluctuations in the British-occupied area, which may cause a certain amount of chaos." Harold added.

"And now the British occupation area is seriously damaged, the roads and railways have not been fully restored, and how to transport it is also a difficult point." Tim Brand then added in a singing and harmonic manner.

All in all, the Deputy Secretaries-General were of the view that the current British Occupied Territories Trade Commission could be of some degree of assistance in this matter, not too much.

"Distinguished Deputy Secretaries-General, I am our man." Alan Wilson took a particularly heavy bite of the word "us" and made his position clear, and this response made Tim Brand and Harold's eyes light up, and he slowly spat out a word, "Good." ”

"Restoring the market and guaranteeing employment in the British Occupied Territories is a matter for the entire British Occupied Trade Council." Alan Wilson said as soon as he said this, "Of course, we cannot deny the tremendous help of Sir Barron and the British Indian civil servants thousands of miles away in this matter. ”

"Of course it can't be denied." Timbrand said simply, and now he had decided in his heart that Alan Wilson was communicating with him on behalf of the civil service group on the British Indian side.

This matter involves the solidarity of the two local civil service groups under the larger civil service collective.

"Actually, we have worked hard, we have left our home country to work in other countries, and it is not too much to have some extra income, but two deputy secretaries-general, after all, we are public officials in the British Empire, and we can't have anything to do with tobacco factories at least on the surface, I have a suggestion, we find a German to be the owner of this tobacco factory, and give facilitation support at the level of the trade committee."

Now that the desire to cooperate has been expressed, Alan Wilson began to speak his mind. Timbrand and Hadro nodded incessantly, although the benefits were enough for the two of them not to be the deputy secretary-general. But wouldn't it be better if there was a way to get the best of both worlds?

In the conference room of the British-occupied Zone Trade Commission, three people whispered, and Alan Wilson had a feeling of Inspector Lei Luo, a group that should get a share of the revenue one by one, and carried out the work of regulating fees.

The civil servants of British India, in fact, were Alan Wilson himself, and because of the raw materials provided, coupled with the nominal number of people, it was only natural that he should receive the largest share.

The British Occupation Zone Trade Commission should of course have its own part, taking into account the attitude of the British occupation zone, especially the Bonn garrison.

Colonel Malcolm was the commander of the Bonn garrison, and that part was certainly indispensable, and in the end Alan Wilson himself could not do without his own part.

The issue of distribution of benefits. The uneven distribution of spoils has led to a rush since ancient times. So what is the way to distribute benefits? First of all, the distribution of interests among the younger brothers, in fact, there is a five-level and three-level system in the MLM organization.

A pyramid-shaped pattern of benefit distribution, supplemented by a distribution ratio. Some are a combination of seniority and ability. It will neither chill the old man's heart, nor will it leave the newcomer without a chance.

Embezzlement is not such a simple matter, Alan Wilson did not act arbitrarily, but discussed with the two deputy secretaries-general to determine the distribution of benefits, no matter what happens in the future, it cannot be changed.

After the charging plan was completed, Alan Wilson said that he had already found the owner who would be responsible for the operation of the tobacco factory.

"Is it the woman who works in the labour office for women in Bonn?" When the two deputy secretaries-general heard this, they were all human spirits, and of course they could guess that Isabella Pokina should not be so innocent as she seemed.
