Chapter 123: Bonn (Seeking the First Order)

But then again, a place that is in a state of semi-starvation at any time will not be a little joke with Alan Wilson, maybe this is life, sometimes things like this happen.

The 100,000 civil servants of British India, after Prime Minister Attlee came to power, were mentally prepared and ready to cash out the British India that they still held in their hands and sell it for a good price.

At present, the top priority before London is nothing more than an internal and external situation, the internal rapid economic stagnation, and the external is how to maintain the influence of the British Empire, including but not limited to the Soviet Union, that is, the United States.

British strategists knew very well that with the end of the war, Britain would suffer a financial crisis. Britain went bankrupt. The cost of the war emptied the British treasury and put a heavy yoke on the creditors of the empire.

But even so, the British government still saw it as a temporary difficulty: it was the price of victory, and the Americans would certainly pay for it.

This idea is more common within the Conservative Party, but Prime Minister Attlee's Labour cabinet does not fully agree with this idea, and at the Potsdam Conference, Prime Minister Attlee personally tried to share the Truman nuclear bomb, but was rejected on the spot, which increased the distrust of the United States, the Soviet Union is still an enemy, but the United States is also an enemy on another level.

The threat of the two enemies may be different in terms of degree and scope, so the first post-war government had to carefully walk a tightrope to protect the interests of the empire while trying to gain as much time as possible for the recovery of the British Empire.

Compared with Berlin, how to make good use of the British-occupied area won over at the Yalta Conference is even more important.

Long before the Battle of Berlin, London's strategic planners had given up on the obligation of Britain to defend Poland into World War II, but now the fate of Poland was no longer the main concern of British policymakers.

The UK's national interests are central issues. The first is the German question, which remains the lever of the balance of power on the European continent.

Therefore, at the Potsdam Conference, Alan Wilson did not hesitate to sell Poland to the Soviet Union in a black-box operation. Even the new Prime Minister Attlee, who had no doubts about the betrayal of Poland, acquiesced in what happened.

Since Germany is the lever of the balance on the European continent, how to restore Germany's strength to resist the Soviet Union has become extremely important, so it is no wonder that London attaches so much importance to the British occupation zone, and to be honest, if Britain had the money, the British version of the Marshall Plan would not have to wait for a few years at all.

The old imperialists of Britain and France have proven many times that the old imperialism is more willing to spend money than the United States in the war. And as soon as it is shot, it will be a big war, and it will never be a public security war that will be fought decades later to make money.

But now that the war is over, the impoverished treasury is indeed distressing, don't ask, ask just don't regret it. It's a pity that voters voted with their feet and chose the heroic prime minister who led the British Empire to victory in World War II.

In fact, Alan Wilson doesn't need to think about it now, and he knows that there are all kinds of plans for London at present, to lead Europe, shoulder to shoulder with the United States, or to return to the tradition of walking a tightrope between Europe and the United States, and continue to play offshore balancing. There is certainly no shortage of supporters for the various schemes.

How to deal with the rest of Europe is to continue the policy that has not changed for 500 years, or to end up in the game and cut the biggest cake before the United States can adapt to its role as world hegemon.

Alan Wilson, a civil servant, cannot stop the plans of a politician, but he can do his best to create a good environment for Britain, which is at a complete crossroads and has not yet decided where to go, and this is what he can do.

The two clearest points at the moment were the restoration of the British occupation of Germany, and the forthcoming Brussels Conference, both of which he was going to do now, regarding the union of the European colonizers.

Alan Wilson, who was no longer fighting alone, left Berlin and returned to the British-occupied zone controlled by the British Empire. Because the Ruhr area was the focus of Allied air raids, the well-known cities in the British-occupied area were as devastated as Berlin.

First of all, Alan Wilson has to choose a place where the Golden House hides and houses the Isabella sisters.

"You put us in Bonn? But you're going to Hanover? Isabella Pokina couldn't believe that this Englishman was really going to do a good deed and put a beautiful woman in his arms in this small city, either gay or physically ill.

"Men put their careers first, and my country and yours need me at this time." Alan Wilson said solemnly, "What's wrong with Bonn, maybe you'll like this place very much in the future." ”

This is Bonn, the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, and Bonn, as the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, is also vigorously promoted by the United Kingdom.

In any country, a place that becomes the capital will be taken care of, and the most prosperous city in the United States is the Big Apple New York, but where is the richest city?

The answer is Washington, whose per capita output is more than three times that of $60,000 in the United States, reaching $200,000 per capita, and this is based on the premise that more than half of Washington's population is black.

Whether it is fair or unfair, the status of the administrative center of any country is far better than that of the economic center, but medium-sized countries such as Britain and France are not large, and often the economic center and the capital are a city.

Alan Wilson, an excellent imperial civil servant, how could he forget his mission because of sugar-coated shells, if he had a choice, he didn't even want to go to Potsdam, he should have started the great cause of panning for gold in the Ruhr area, the elite of Germany.

Although the Four-Power Joint Control Committee was based in Berlin, it was Britain's own Military Management Committee and the newly established Trade Commission that really had an impact on the British-occupied territories.

On his first night back in the British Occupation Zone, Alan Wilson stayed in Bonn, which was not badly damaged by the war because it was a small city, but was badly destroyed in Hamburg, Cologne and Essen.

It was also one of the few cities in the British-occupied territory that was so safe that Alan Wilson even dared to go out for a walk at nightfall, and under the control of the British garrison, the environment here was extremely safe in the whole of Germany.

Holding in hand, Isabella Pokina made him feel that choosing Bonn as the place to support the two sisters was the right choice.

Alan Wilson has not forgotten the logic of instilling himself in Pokina, I laugh at the barbarism of the Soviet Union, the lack of wisdom in the United States, and the fate of Europe is still up to itself.

This decision, of course, was that only under the leadership of the British Empire could guarantee the full interests of the European countries. France could not be counted on a throw-at rifle and a senseless sacrifice.

"As long as the Soviet Union does not look for trouble in a short period of time, it is the United States that Britain has to guard against recently." Alan Wilson walked for a while and felt a little tired, and a few British soldiers not far away were very tired of seeing this scene, everyone is British, you see that people can pull a fair-skinned and beautiful young German girl, but they have nothing.

Several British soldiers had a slight melancholy in their eyes, and decided to cut back on food and clothing in the coming days, try their luck on the black market of cigarettes, and solve the problem of just needs for German women who lacked men.

On the other hand, Isabella used all the skills she had learned in school to establish a long-term source of information for the imperialist liaison officer, while Alan Wilson wondered if he could use his entry into the Trade Commission to buy some property in Bonn and lay a nail in the coffin in the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.

And he is not only ready to do this himself, but also ready to pull all the civil servants who came to Germany into the water, or the same sentence, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and to establish personal relationships.

Twenty years later, perhaps the backbone of the British civil service will be the same foreign-related civil servants who single-handedly pulled Germany out of the quagmire of economic collapse.

That night, Alan Wilson, who was falling asleep, gently pushed the door of the room open, and a shadow crept in and went straight into the quilt.

"What for?" There was also a hint of disbelief, Alan Wilson forced the excitement in his heart and asked knowingly, he couldn't believe that the beautiful woman took the initiative to give him a hug, and even his voice became sharp.

"Alan, take our family to a good life, I will be yours from now on." Isabella Pokina twisted the waist of the water snake, and in the room of the black hole, she showed the inner beauty that no one else could see.

"It's not good!" As he spoke, Alan Wilson grabbed the beautiful snake into his arms, leaving only a heavy gasp in the room, and Isabella Pokina was forced to endure the pain and let the other party do it.

It was a long night, and it took a long time for the room to be calm.

Alan Wilson, who woke up in the morning, deeply felt the happiness of the US troops stationed in Japan, and he originally thought that it was a crime for the US GIs to loosen their zippers wherever they went, but now it seems that he still has not understood the essence of imperialism.

I'm not against imperialism, I'm not against imperialism! He now has a deep understanding of this sentence.

Alan Wilson verbally apologized, said that he was going to the British Military Management Council in Bonn, said hello, and let the Heilman family live here without being disturbed, and then left the room.

After Alan Wilson left, Anna crept in to look at Isabella Pokina, who was hiding under the quilt, and called softly, "Pokina! ”

Isabella Pokina sat up all of a sudden, regardless of her upper body, her eyes stared at her nominal sister, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "How did the school teach you?" ”

Before he finished speaking, the tingling sensation in his lower body came, and he frowned slightly, "Pay attention to the nature of our work." ”
