Chapter 32 Friends Out of Nothing

Finding a way to send this civil servant, whom Mountbatten valued to Germany, to the imminent defeat of Germany, to follow the foreign office staff, and to assign post-war work in Germany with the Americans, these jobs will surely fill in the rich mark on Alan Wilson's resume.

For Mountbatten, the noble-born commander of the Southeast Asian theater, there was a striking consistency in the understanding of the wartime cabinet. Both the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believe that Mountbatten is an irreplaceable candidate for coordinating the joint operations of the multinational force.

Mountbatten's popularity, whether among ministers or civil servants, is only good and better, and Anthony Eden is also happy to be a favor, arranging for this young civil servant to devote himself to a job suitable for gilding.

Alan Wilson was very busy, and had just returned to London, and had just come out of his home in Mountbatten to report to the Indian Office, and became the liaison between the Indian Office and the Viceroyalty of British India.

However, this was exactly what he wanted, and he was in constant contact with the British Raj, and he gladly accepted the job. Snatching out his free time, he went directly to the Oriental College of Oxford University to retrieve his student status, although he was not sure when he would be able to graduate, but with the calm of the European battlefield approaching, he believed that that day was not far off.

After finishing his studies, Alan Wilson took an opportunity to go to the Royal Bank of Scotland for some pounds, and then went to Mountbatten's home to introduce himself as a liaison in British India, where he could help if the mother and daughter wanted to get in touch with their relatives in New Delhi.

Receiving the gratitude of Mountbatten's wife and daughter, Alan Wilson still maintained his usual politeness and calmness, leaving a good impression on the mother and daughter.

A week after his return to London, Philby, who was still MI6, informed Alan Wilson that the Indian Office had decided to seconded him to the Foreign Office, where he remained the liaison to British India, as the Foreign Office was now busy and therefore not working for the Foreign Office.

"It was such a surprise." Alan Wilson pretended not to know and asked, "Is the Foreign Office busy?" ”

"I heard that the attack of the Soviet Red Army was very fierce, and it was not known when Germany would surrender. It is also said that some Germans secretly contacted the Allies to surrender. Philby pondered for a moment and continued, "Once Germany surrenders, maybe it will be even more busy, the order in the occupied areas, the communication with the local Germans, etc., and many other things. ”

The pound is less! Alan Wilson heard that the war had already been fought to this extent, Germany had run out of gas, and the national economy had already collapsed completely, and if it did not rely on external food, perhaps it would be a problem to eat now.

Although none of the major belligerents in the world war, except for the United States, had a prosperous life, but to what extent it was miserable, the depression in London was much stronger than that of the devastated European continent.

"It's a great tragedy." Alan Wilson said with a solemn face and a solemn tone, "Europe, the center of world civilization, has been devastated by two wars. I can imagine the great difficulties that the Germans are facing now, and if I have the opportunity to help them, I am of course willing to go right away. ”

While the two were talking, the Battle of Berlin had actually been going on for several days, and the Soviet Army had concentrated 270 infantry divisions and cavalry divisions, 20 tank corps and mechanized corps, 14 air force armies, a total of 2.5 million troops, and 2,400 aircraft, 14,000 artillery pieces, 1,500 tanks and self-propelled guns.

The battle opened with shelling, where thousands of artillery and Katyusha rocket artillery began shelling German positions, which continued for several days. The allies of the United States, Britain, France and other countries on the Western Front were already acquiescing in the occupation of Berlin by the Soviet Red Army.

After listening to Philby's words, Alan Wilson knew that once Germany formally surrendered, he would almost have to go to Germany.

"Actually, this is a very good opportunity, I have to admit that I even envy you, in your appointment, there is the role of General Mountbatten, whether it is the ministers of the wartime cabinet, or the civil servants of various departments are very recognized by General Mountbatten." Seeing that Alan Wilson didn't speak, Philby said, "But I have something to warn about. ”

"Reminder?" Alan Wilson was stunned for a moment, and asked a little confused, is there anything that needs special attention?

Philby smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "Allen, although the war will end soon, it does not mean that the danger will disappear because of the end of the war, there may be many German soldiers in Germany who are unwilling to surrender, these soldiers are also dangerous, and the relationship between the Allies and the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front is also a little delicate, you know that I am the commissioner of MI6, I don't want my friends to fall into the eyes of some unidentified countries." ”

Oh? Alan Wilson nodded knowingly, don't fall into the eyes of some unidentified countries? This unidentified country refers to the Soviet Union, right? He elongated his voice, "Won't it?" ”

How did the people in front of him do it, while being loyal to the British Empire, serve the Soviets?

"How could not, our enemy can do anything." Philby's face was solemn, and he said solemnly, "I am the commissioner of MI6, I must be vigilant, and at the same time, I don't want you to be targeted, after all, you are my friend." ”

Alan Wilson really wants to ask, is that friend of yours talking about yourself? As for the commissioners of MI6, if it weren't for the commissioners of MI6, they wouldn't have been so destructive to Britain.

But then again, Alan Wilson is not averse to going to Germany, which is an old power after all, and it is enough to go to the dung to pan for gold and find something, which is enough for the Indian princely states. You can also change a little extra money!

To Alan Wilson's displeasure, a Soviet spy was talking about something in front of him, allegiance to the British Empire.

Is it tolerable or unbearable! Alan Wilson lowered his head for a moment, as if he suddenly understood Philby's words, "Yes, Germany's war machine must have many skills and talents that the Allies need, and I will definitely grab these talents as much as possible when I get to Germany." ”

Philby was stunned, seemed to be very surprised by Alan Well's words, and said in a peculiar tone, "You're right, the Allies will definitely hunt down these German military talents, I still have something to do, go back first." ”

"Find a place to have a drink in the evening, and I will also find some colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Looking at Philby's hurried back, Alan Wilson shouted, and saw Philby waving his hand without looking back. He looked up and blinked, he should have sent a message to the Soviet Union, right?
