When they arrived in Paris, Alan Wilson and his representatives abroad were faced with the problem of dividing the occupied territories. At the Yalta Conference, the occupation of the future Germany was the occupation of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. However, in the ensuing discussion, the Soviets did not insist too much on the French-occupied zone, given that France still had a large colony to support it.

The first thing Alan Wilson and these foreign representatives are now doing is to talk to the United States and France to discuss the details of the establishment of the French-occupied zone, as well as when and when the occupation forces will officially enter the country.

Although it is believed that the negotiations between the Allies and the remnants of the German armed forces will soon bear fruit, and that the German surrender is imminent in the next few days, the problems in Germany are still very large, not to mention that some die-hard armed forces are still resisting. The severely damaged territory alone cannot sustain the expenses of the occupying forces.

This can be seen through the statistics fed back by the front-line soldiers, and Alan Wilson and other foreign representatives can't help but gasp when they see the cold data.

Sixty-six percent of Cologne's dwellings were destroyed; Ninety-three percent of dwellings in Düsseldorf are uninhabitable; Eighty thousand of Frankfurt's 180,000 homes were destroyed.

Of the 5.5 million dwellings in the British Occupation Zone, 3.5 million were either completely destroyed or severely damaged. Of the 16 million houses in German territory, 2.34 million were destroyed and more than 4 million were damaged by at least 25 percent.

Some of the Allied people who had heard reports of the destruction of houses began to be amazed when they first entered Germany and saw that so many buildings were still standing there. In fact, most of them are only a shell left. Few buildings in the big cities are unscarred, and less than one percent of the buildings in Hanover have not been damaged.

"According to the commanders of the expeditionary forces, ninety-three percent of the railways in the British-occupied zone allocated to us at the Yalta Conference were damaged, and less than a thousand kilometers of railways were operational, and they were not connected to each other, which meant that they were almost completely unusable." Ivor raised the document in his hand and placed it in front of Alan Wilson.

"The Ruhr area is the heart of German industry." Another representative glanced at the statistics and exclaimed, "It would be nice if it wasn't a huge burden." ”

"The Germans brought it on themselves." Alan Wilson's face did not change, he had no sympathy for the Germans. If people themselves want to support the great Führer in fighting for the country, they should be mentally prepared for the current outcome.

In the second year of secondary school, he may have been influenced by the handsome German uniform and radical slogans. Right now? Save it.

Even from the point of view of basic beating, the Germans had nothing to complain about. They are all mature industrial powers, and they are responsible for their own choices.

"It is undeniable that even for the convenience of the occupying forces, we will repair the railways, bridges and infrastructure in the occupied areas." Alan Wilson put aside the statistical data file, "Our British-occupied area is part of the essence of the German industrial zone, and the advantage is that there are many remnants of craftsmanship and machinery, which may be helpful to the homeland, and the disadvantage is that the British occupation zone should be the most tragic by the Allied air raids, both wealth and trouble." ”

"Well, Allen, I think the most important reason for the serious destruction of the British-occupied zone is the deep destruction ordered by Hitler and the German High Command, which actually has little to do with our Allied air raids." Ivor corrected Alan Wilson unhurriedly, "We have evidence of reorganization that the Germans are the source of all the difficulties now. ”

"Yes, yes. It was the Germans themselves who did it, and it had nothing to do with the Allies in the civilized world. Reaching out and patting his head, Alan Wilson instantly changed his attitude and regretted the wrong point of view with a direct apology, which was of course the result of the scorched earth policy of the Germans themselves.

The great Allied forces strictly enforced iron discipline in war, and did not commit any offence against ordinary citizens under any circumstances, even if there were a very small number of scum, but it did not damage the image of the Allied army.

Knock knock! There was a knock on the door, and a soldier pushed through the door and reported, "Mr. Allen, Mr. Eivour, the French liaison has arrived to speak with the foreign representative who has just arrived in Paris." ”

"We'll be there soon!" Ivor replied, and when the soldiers left, his face changed, "It must be a matter of communicating with the French occupation zone, these French people are always looking for trouble for us, and we haven't even rested yet." Like de Gaulle, they are not strong enough but one-sidedly maintain the dignity of the so-called French people, which is really annoying. ”

"But we have no choice but to talk to them. The current situation is strange, especially in this kind of negotiation to divide the cake in the aftermath, and our role as an ally may not be so fixed. Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Unless we are ready, leaving aside De Gaulle and talking to others, I guess Stalin will be happy about this." ”

The current situation in France, leaving aside who else can De Gaulle talk to? Of course, it is the current largest party in France, the French Communist Party!

Now there is no one in France other than De Gaulle who can suppress the French Communist Party, so even if De Gaulle and his supporters show unruliness again, Alan Wilson has to endure it, not to mention their foreign representatives who come to France, even Roosevelt and Churchill, they have to pinch their noses and respect De Gaulle, unless they want to talk to Red France.

In the face of De Gaulle and his supporters, Britain and the United States have different views, compared to the Americans, the British really want to pull the French, and they are more sincere when dealing with the French.

In the final analysis, Britain and France still have huge colonies in their hands, nominally the British Empire still has 3,000 square kilometers of colonies in the world, and France also has more than 10 million square kilometers of colonies.

In the face of the Soviet Union, which clearly wanted to liberate the whole world, or the United States, which flaunted the banner of national self-determination, the two outdated hegemons of the previous generation should stand on the same front.

"We have had many wars with France for nine hundred years, and now we have to sit together again." Leaving the office, Alan Wilson and Eivor walked side by side, and when they walked outside the building, their faces were already full of smiles, and they took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with the French representative who came over, and said, "That's so kind, we've just arrived." ”

"The great allies come to Paris, and if we are not happy, does it not displease the gentlemen?" The two groups greeted each other with an equally enthusiastic response, and then returned to the building with their shoulders hooked.
