"Of course!" Pamela Mountbatten took the telegram, stuffed it into her arms and thanked her with a smile, "Well, thank you." ”

After speaking, Pamela Mountbatten, who was holding the telegram, jumped out of the governor's palace, and Sir Barron shrugged helplessly, he still had a lot to do, and he still needed to contact the governors of the provinces.

Sir Barron had no opinion on the raising of food from British India to solve the difficulties of Europe. To put it bluntly, the British Empire has been doing this for more than 100 years, and the question is whether the grain of British India can meet domestic needs.

If not? It's not that there is no way, Sir Barron can only increase his strength helplessly for the sake of the overall situation.

In fact, up to now, the rainfall in British India has been relatively low, and although there has not been a famine with a wide range of effects, it is very doubtful how much grain will be left after the drought in British India.

This year's rainy season in British India has come two weeks later than expected, don't underestimate this half a month, this is already a very serious problem, once the response is not good, this year may see a sharp rise in food prices.

Because Alan Wilson was already in Europe, he naturally did not know that the next year's famine had already shown signs in his memory, and he only knew that the famine swept across Eurasia the year after the end of World War II. Most famous for the famine encountered in the Soviet Union, the famine in India was not known to many people at all.

This is also of course, what is India and how many people starved to death who cares? The Soviet Union was a thorn in the side of the United States, Britain and France, and when there was a little turmoil, the United States, Britain and France were eager to broadcast everywhere with loudspeakers.

Also because of the death of famine, the lives of the Soviets are heavier than Mount Tai, and the lives of the Indians are worth nothing, who cares?

India is a hungry country, and in times of peace, most people are facing a day of not having enough to eat. Anyway, you can't get enough to eat, so why have the luxury of expecting the wind and rain to go well?

Pamela Mountbatten was still cautiously holding the telegram and thinking about people, and Alan Wilson was entering another round of busyness, sometimes wondering if he had done all the work of a civil servant in the British Empire.

Immediately after receiving the task of liaising with British India, he left Berlin and took advantage of the free time of the past few days to go to Hamburg, an important port in the British-occupied territory of Germany.

To be exact, Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, after the city of Greater Berlin, which was occupied by the Four Nations Division.

It is also the most important seaport, import and export center of Germany, such an important city, and the Ruhr area, the center of German industry in the British-occupied area, it can be seen that Britain must have taken advantage of the distribution at the Yalta Conference.

Alan Wilson certainly wanted to make good use of the British Empire's important legacy at the Yalta Conference. So he showed his hard-working nature and came to Hamburg in the midst of his busyness.

As for the current situation in Hamburg? To tell the truth, it was very bad, because of the importance of Hamburg, it was always the main target of the British Air Force's strategic bombing, to deter the German public from supporting the war.

Strategic bombing is a large-scale hybrid bombing of incendiary bombs and bombs, with the aim of causing a fire in the whole city. The bomber formation arrived over Hamburg, and after repeated dive bombing, they rained high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs into the city of Hamburg, and in an instant Hamburg was in flames, a large number of buildings were set on fire, and then the neighborhood was completely burned down, and the whole Hamburg became a huge sea of fire.

In the continuous bombing, the bomber formations of Britain and the United States dropped 10,000 tons of bombs, killing more than 40,000 people.

"I didn't expect the situation in Hamburg to be so bad!" Alan Wilson sat in the military vehicle that picked him up, and couldn't help but sigh that the damage in France was simply an order of magnitude worse than here.

Hamburg was littered with ruins, and the closer you got to the port, the worse it became, and the surviving Germans were much more miserable than the citizens of Greater Berlin today.

"Liaison, that's what happens here. Clean-up is slow! And the food problem has already arisen. The captain who came to pick up Alan Wilson smiled bitterly, "I really don't know what to do." ”

"Is there a lot of black market trading? This is the case everywhere order breaks. Seeing the situation here, Alan Wilson told the truth in his heart, he didn't want to go back to Berlin at all now, what Potsdam Conference, what history was, it was all bullshit, he just wanted to exchange a cigarette for a dragoon in this paralyzed city.

"Yes, Liaison Officer, the black market is rampant, food and cigarettes are the most sought-after items at the moment, and even a classical piano can be exchanged for potatoes." The captain replied without concealment, "People fight to fill their bellies. ”

"That's a tragedy!" Alan Wilson couldn't help frowning and said in a passionate voice, "Maybe the non-stop strategic bombing of Hamburg was indeed a cruel decision. ”

The captain who came to pick up Alan Wilson was also silent, he was just an ordinary officer, and he naturally couldn't be indifferent when he saw the tragic situation in Hamburg, thinking that the liaison officer of this age in front of him was moved by compassion, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only reach out and pat Alan Wilson on the shoulder.

How did the simple captain know that Alan Wilson did not have such a thing as a conscience, and that when the Bengal famine appeared, many of the telegrams sent to Sir Barron in New Delhi were sent by him on behalf of the elder Wilson, and the wording was similar to the telegram that arrived in New Delhi yesterday.

Alan Wilson arrived in Hamburg, on the one hand, he heard that Ali Khan's cargo ship carrying grain from India had arrived in England and was heading for Hamburg, and Ali Khan's London butler Ali Mu also came with him, so he came to Hamburg to greet him. Another purpose was to see what heritage could be found in the British-occupied territories.

Led by British soldiers, Alan Wilson first went to the British headquarters in Hamburg, and then visited Field Marshal Busch, the commander-in-chief of the German forces in northwestern Europe. Actually, there is, in the British-occupied zone.

Montgomery placed German units under the command of Field Marshal Busch, commander-in-chief of the German forces in northwestern Europe. Cooperate with Field Marshal Montgomery to maintain stability in the British-occupied zone, which can be said to be under the control of the Anglo-German forces. Field Marshal Busch's Chief of Staff and General Staff were located in the headquarters of the British Army.

Montgomery was in the city of Greater Berlin, receiving praise and honours from all sides, and with the Potsdam Conference imminent, the day-to-day work in the British-occupied zone was now presided over by Lieutenant General Ronald Wicks.

The energetic Alan Wilson, the reason why he is so hard-working, is, of course, to come to the bottom.
