Chapter 143: The BBC will not bow to the government

In Bonn, Alan Wilson received reporters from his own country and communicated with him on the report, which was not particularly important, but to make the report closer to the facts.

Advertorials have the benefits of advertorials, but wouldn't it be more intuitive if you add data?

In front of the reporters belonging to the different newspapers, there was a statistical statistic on the military council's statistics on the proportion of men and women in the British-occupied areas, and the figures were absolutely shocking.

At present, the proportion of men and women in Germany is 46 percent and 54 percent respectively. Out of 100 people, there are 8 more women than men, and in fact, the problem is already very serious, but it seems that it is not a big problem to face it.

Later, Alan Wilson took out another statistic and distributed it to the reporters, which was the current statistics on the proportion of men and women between the ages of 20 and 29 in the British occupation area, and in this statistics, the proportion of men and women between the ages of 20 and 29 in the British occupation area was 37 percent and 63 percent.

In other words, a German man of this age has an average of 16 German women. This is still based on the premise that almost all the prisoners of war in the British-occupied areas have been released, and there are still Lai Ying camps in the US-occupied areas, and it is believed that the imbalance in the population ratio of the US-occupied areas will only be more serious than that in the British-occupied areas.

"Dear journalists, this is a common phenomenon in Germany at present, so there is no need to harshly criticize the soldiers of the occupation army, soldiers are also ordinary people, and it is useless to prohibit them with military orders in the face of this situation." While the reporter looked at the statistics, Alan Wilson said with helplessness, "Everything lies in a balance, once there are too few men, even women will make trouble, by the way, I heard that there has been a wave of divorce in China recently?" ”

Alan Wilson's inquiry made many reporters very embarrassed, because the current wave of divorce in China is very turbulent, the divorce rate has skyrocketed by five times compared with before the war, and the first thing many soldiers who returned home after the war is to divorce, and the civil affairs department has become the busiest department in London now.

At first, civil servants also mediated divorce, but later as the crowd of people waiting for divorce flocked in, it was completely beyond the ability to mediate, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force have chosen to divorce since they returned to China.

In the final analysis, World War II was used by Britain as a springboard to counterattack the European continent, so the United States sent a million troops to the British mainland. From the perspective of the macro war situation, the benefits of this are very obvious to the British, they can no longer worry about the invasion of their homeland, and the British troops sent out can fight outside with peace of mind.

British soldiers who can go out to fight have led to a shortage of men in the United Kingdom, just like the current British occupation zone, where American troops have been stationed in Britain for a long time, and many American soldiers have cohabited with British women.

Many of these women are wives of British front-line soldiers, because their husbands' lives and deaths on the front line are uncertain, and American soldiers are guarding Britain at home, and the two sides have a relationship for a long time.

In addition, the number of men in the UK is very small, so many British women choose to live with American soldiers.

Now that the British soldiers who went abroad to fight have returned, in the face of such a result, of course, they simply chose to divorce.

However, Alan Wilson has already understood about the wedding in Bonn, and the soldier who married the German girl is unmarried.

This is not unreasonable, I don't have a family, I have no scruples about doing things, I would rather apply for retirement from the army than be with my beloved woman, maybe it's really a very innocent love story.

"I believe that all journalists are sympathetic gentlemen, and that the accuracy of information is always very important to tell the citizens of their own country the predicament that Germany is currently facing." Alan Wilson looked at the BBC reporter and said, "As the newspaper that citizens value the most, the BBC should play a leading role." ”

"Mr Allen, you may be very young and may not be so clear about your work, but the BBC has certainly been objective, neutral and accurate. This is out of the responsibility of the media people, not political pressure. The BBC will not bow to government pressure. McHale, a BBC correspondent in the British-occupied zone, raised his head slightly, expressing the ethics of a neutral media person.

Wow! Alan Wilson whistled lightly, asked his assistant Mark to call over a stack of papers, flipped through them and piled them up in front of McHale, and introduced little by little, "How can a government that has always adhered to the idea of freedom let the BBC bow its head, there is absolutely no censorship, McHale thinks too much." ”

"According to the summary from 1937 to 1945, there were 153 reports of sympathy for Hitler on the BBC, of which thirty-five were after the Battle of Britain."

"A lot of people are worried about the BBC's hostile attitude towards the government, probably because there are German spies in the BBC who have climbed to the top of the ranks, and the BBC investigation has also caused discussion in the government, but of course we still believe that there is no such thing."

"This is nonsense, the BBC has always maintained the national interests of the British Empire with its good faith reporting during the war." McHale said as soon as he said this, "And is Mr. Allen putting political pressure on the neutral media?" ”

Syllable! Reaching out from his pocket and taking out the MI6 documents still on the table, Alan Wilson usually looked at the air in front of him, and said indifferently, "I definitely didn't mean that......"

"Of course, from a professional point of view, accurate and close to the implementation of the report has always been what the BBC has been looking for. We want the public to see the real story. After McHale saw Alan Wilson's credentials, he was not embarrassed to come back with words, "The role of the media is not to harm the public's right to know, so the truthful reporting of the British-occupied area is extremely important." ”

"It can also let the public in China know how much effort the Board of Trade and the military have put into the reconstruction of the British-occupied territory." A reporter from the Daily Telegraph sang and said, "In this difficult time, the public and the government have to get through it together. ”

"It's not going to be succumbing to government pressure, is it?" Alan Wilson pressed the contempt in his heart and asked knowingly.

"Pure nonsense, of course there is no pressure, and we will not bow to government pressure." All the newspaper reporters unanimously denied it.

"That is good, I believe that all newspapers are in the interests of the British Empire, and this is true in the face of common enemies, eh, friends." Alan Wilson waved his hand at Mark cryptically, and the photos of these reporters buying and selling with German women in the British occupation zone should not be taken out.

These photos will undermine the level of tacit understanding between the government and media people, and they will be kept for the time being until the next time they communicate with media people.

The coverage of the international wedding, which continued to be an explosive follow-up, soon appeared in the major newspapers, many of which reported on it with sympathizers, thanks to constructive discussions between the two parties.

Expressing that war was brutal, German men as the initiator died in large numbers, in the age group of 20 to 29 years, the ratio of men to women was 37 percent to 63 percent, and ten men had to face sixteen women of the same age.

"German women in this era are likely to die alone because of this war, and they will not be able to find a life partner for the rest of their lives. The damage caused by the world war is evident. ”

"As for the emotional problems of the soldiers of the occupied territories and German women, mere military regulations are no longer helpful, as long as British soldiers can see German women, they will always be chased by local German women."

The yellow tabloids reported on the wedding with an agitation-like headline: "It is clear that the gentlemen of the British Empire have the excellent qualities to attract all German women, neither like the barbaric vulgarity of American soldiers, nor like the French soldiers who are not faithful enough to love, and it is natural that British men should be welcomed by the women of the occupied territories." ”

These reports ostensibly sympathize with the price Germany paid for starting the war, but in the context of the current wave of divorces in Britain, the divorced men who read these newspapers remember only the ratio of men to women to 16, and in the eyes of these men who have just lost their families, Germany is now a man's paradise.

Perhaps these men, who have just paid the price of their families because of the war, can find spiritual solace in another place and regain love counseling.

Alan Wilson hooked up with British-occupied journalists, of course, not just to confirm the neutrality and objectivity of the report. That's just one aspect, and the other aspect, what he, a veteran keyboard warrior and pen boy, is doing, is to shoot the map cannon.

In terms of moral concepts, ways of behaving. In terms of morality and ethics, the prominent difference is that Europeans are more tolerant and Americans are more narrow-minded; Europeans are reasonable, while Americans are only rigid and conservative.

Europeans are rich in knowledge and substance, Americans are arrogant and ignorant, Europeans respect tradition, Americans seem to be in a period of recklessness, and there is not much to say about the fact that they are uneducated, unkempt, and so on.

At this stage, Alan Wilson found that the reporters of the major newspapers showed professionalism at once, and he did not expect that there were many sleeping dragons and phoenixes in the small British-occupied area at the same time, which was really surprising.

I laugh at the fact that the United States is unscrupulous, the Soviet Union is unwise, and it is really able to be universally welcomed by European countries, and it is also our British Empire.

Naturally, these maps would not appear in the newspapers, but they would soon circulate in the British-occupied territories at an alarming rate.

"I'm going to a conference in Brussels right away!" Alan Wilson touched Isabella Popina's smooth back, and while feeling the wonderful touch, he leaned into the woman's ear and said, "I may not see you for a while." ”

"What do you want to say?" Isabella Pokina rolled over and asked suspiciously.

"Actually, it's nothing." Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed, and secretly prayed in a whisper, "Can the three of you do it together?" ”
