"But there are some similarities with the policy of the Soviet Union, and the institutions in the American-occupied zone don't think too much, right?" Tim Brand mentally agrees, but only takes into account the feelings of Americans.

"This is a matter in the British-occupied zone, how to do it effectively, what do you care about the Americans?" Harold sneered, "I have heard one thing, the Prime Minister is in a very bad mood now, I heard that since the day after the Japanese surrender began, the Americans have informed London that aid to Britain will cease immediately, just this month. ”

"These greedy Americans, who have received so much in times of war, are so stingy." A few people whispered for a while, how many bases of the British Empire the United States received during the war, which could not be bought with money.

Now I don't even want to pretend to be friendly, and the aid will be cut off the day after Japan's surrender.

"The greed of Americans has already been learned by the whole world, and if it weren't for their greed, it wouldn't have developed to this point today." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, the British Empire has not yet come out of the thinking of the world hegemon, and it is not very used to being coerced by the Americans, but there will be such things in the future.

The key is that Britain must retain its current strength, and once it enters the track of gradual decline, it will be difficult to save the gods.

"We all know that during the Great Depression, the Soviet Union grew up alone, not only do we know, I believe the person who knows the most is our current Prime Minister Attlee." Alan Wilson shrugged and said, "Actually, we think that the British Empire has more advantages than the Soviet Union now. ”

"What's the advantage?" Both Timbrand and Harold were interested, but during the Great Depression, Britain was not ignorant of the changes in the Soviet Union, as Alan Wilson said, Prime Minister Attlee was very appreciative of the Soviet Union at the beginning.

It's just that the Conservative Party was in power at that time, and the Labour Party was in opposition.

"The Soviet administrative directives were based on the fact that all the surplus value of a society was owned by the state, and the state held the excess value in its hands and sold it at a price, just in time for the Great Depression. The Soviet Union had the resources in its hands and went against the trend. Alan Wilson said, "In fact, the existence of the Soviet Union is a supplement to our free world, of course, provided that we are always better than them, and it is best to maintain the status quo." ”

"We have adopted the Soviet method and deliberately made the directive plausible. Let the Germans doubt the Soviet system, and for a long time the living conditions were kept only below the minimum level, and over time they would become dissatisfied. And in this time, we held the surplus value of the British occupation zone in our hands through the Council of Trade and the Military Council, and exchanged it with British India, so that Britain would soon regain its prosperity. ”

"And Germans generally have an aversion to policies similar to those of the Soviet Union, and it is great that this can also play a role in stabilizing Germany and blocking the Soviet Union."

"We pretend to be socialist and penetrate into the enemy's interior, so that Germany can be turned into disgust with the Soviet system, which is more effective than repeating the evils of the Soviet Union a hundred times." Timbrand clenched his fists and smiled excitedly, "This should be done not only in the British occupation zone, but also in British India, with the surplus value of both places in your hands, and I think the local rationing system will be abolished soon." ”

"Of course, gentlemen. It is precisely because of hostility that we want to join in, and to exert pressure from outside forces will only provoke a greater backlash, and if we join in, we will attribute all the problems of Germany to the wrong way of the Soviet Union. The British Empire was not responsible for the whole process! We have already learned, but apparently the Germans were not ready. Alan Wilson also couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Long-winded propaganda has no effect, we just need to let the Germans understand two sentences, rationing is socialism, and compulsory labor is socialism." ”

"That's right!" Hadro happily took out a bottle of whiskey, opened it, and said, "Let's toast the ration." ”

"Cheers to labor and rations!" Timbrand added with a smile.

"Cheers to the prosperity of the British Empire, with the British Occupation Zone and British India, Britain will definitely get out of the situation quickly, we don't need Americans at all." Alan Wilson likewise raised his glass and bang......

Drinking whiskey, the trio decided to set up a new agency dedicated to involving German women in reconstruction. At the same time, Field Marshal Montgomery, the commander of the British occupation zone, was given a document in the hope of obtaining Marshal Montgomery's consent.

With the consent of the Military Council, the British Occupation Trade Commission formally established the German Women's Work and Labor Bureau, and at the same time announced the linkage between post-war reconstruction labour and ration rations.

At the same time, the Military and Trade Councils announced that women between the ages of 16 and 50, young children and sick elderly people who did not need special care at home, had to go to the local labour office and be assigned work.

If eligible women do not report to the Labour Department, the Control Board will not issue them food ration certificates. This ration certificate is important for every family, without which one cannot fill one's stomach and may starve to death.

In Bonn, Isabella Pokina became the head of the German Women's Labor Office in Bonn, where she counted the number of women in Bonn and arranged the post-war reconstruction.

The valuables at home have piled up, Isabella Pokina is still dressed modestly, and she is on the front line to join the labor, and her face is frosty, but this attitude is very recognized by the women of Bonn.

Although there is some gossip that this young and beautiful woman is the mistress of the British to get to where she is today. But in the context of the defeat of Germany as a whole, such a thing is not a shameful thing.

Many women had an ambiguous relationship with the soldiers of the occupation army, and all the women were surprised by the case of Isabella Pokina.

As the Board of Trade had predicted, women in all parts of the British-occupied zone were mobilized, their enthusiasm for work had increased by an unknown number of times, and the rubble of the urban area was being cleared at an alarming rate.

Whether it's Hanover, Cologne, Hamburg, Essen or Bonn, German women are working in droves of rubble-strewn urban areas, sorting garbage and separating metal from the rubble, and everything in Germany is valuable, at least in the eyes of civilians.

The ports in the British-occupied zone also began to prosper, but Alan Wilson felt that the fly in the ointment was when his tobacco machinery arrived, and the last time Alim said it had already crossed the Suez Canal.

He can't wait for the tobacco machinery to arrive soon, and taking bribes is not a good way to make a fortune, and it is okay to do it occasionally. If he wants to make money standing up, he must make money through open channels.

However, the first news came that it was not the arrival of the freighter, but the fact that London had sent a member of the House of Commons to inspect the work.

When Deputy Secretary-General Tim Brand announced the meeting with a telegram, Alan Wilson asked, "May I ask who this congressman is, as if everyone is not very happy." ”

"It's Congressman Wilson." Hadro smiled bitterly and said, "This councillor is not easy to fool, he is a service ......"

"Yes, it's service." Timbrand highlighted his colleague's slip of the tongue and then explained, "He was a civil servant, he resigned from the civil service in this general election, joined the Labour Party in the general election, and is now the secretary of parliament." He is very knowledgeable about our work and is a professional person. ”

Wilson? Prime minister? Alan Wilson remembers that there seemed to be only one famous figure in the Labour Party named Wilson, who was the prime minister of Britain in the sixties, setting a record for the most re-elections.

At the end of the war, Harold Wilson began to seek a seat in the House of Commons in the upcoming general election, in which the Labour Party defeated the Conservatives and won a big victory, and Harold Wilson was successfully elected to Parliament. But to his surprise, he was immediately hired as the congressional secretary of the Ministry of Public Service.

But in fact, Harold Wilson is only a 29-year-old young man this year, he is already a member of the ruling party, a parliamentary secretary, and the youngest member of parliament in the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson knew that the future Prime Minister Wilson, the road of the British Dragon's pride had just begun. Successive victories over the Conservative Party in the sixties, and it was not until Margaret Thatcher came to power that he broke his ruling record.

However, the fact that the former civil servants were now visiting the British occupation zone was not very reluctant to make the members of the Council of Trade very reluctant was that Wilson knew about civil servants, and now he appeared as a member of the Council.

This is very uncomfortable, who will receive Congressman Wilson, leaving Hadro and Timbrand, the two deputy secretaries-general, at a loss, and does not want this to happen to him.

"Why don't I receive Congressman Wilson?" Alan Wilson looked at the two deputy secretaries-general for a moment, and secretly sighed that there was such a good thing, the two deputy secretaries-general only saw the unfavorable conditions, but did not expect that risks and opportunities coexist.

But who knew that Harold Wilson, who was about to arrive in the British Occupation Zone, would be the future Prime Minister? Only Alan Wilson can see opportunities, and everyone else sees risks.

"Alan, you have to be careful." Seeing that the hot potato was taken over, Tim Brand breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that Alan Wilson would not make any mistakes.

"I'll do my best." Alan Wilson originally wanted to say his best, but when he thought that the civil servant's words might not be enough, he temporarily changed the wording.
