Chapter 33: The Second

Through a Philby who was in Britain and his heart was in the Soviet Union, he explained that he couldn't wait to go to Germany to rob talents, which was of course deliberate, and the United States, Britain and France would have done the same, which was very reasonable.

As for why it was given to Philby, it was not Alan Wilson who suddenly became possessed and decided to dedicate his life to internationalism.

In the final analysis, it is for the sake of the British Empire, and there is no doubt that the United States is the biggest winner in the war for talent after Germany's defeat in history.

The Soviet Union did not react at the beginning, and was occupied by the United States, Britain and France, and by the time it reacted, most of the talents had already fallen into the hands of the United States, Britain and France.

On the side of the United States, Britain and France, the United States occupied the greatest advantage, and Britain and France could no longer compare their attractiveness with the United States after the war.

Alan Wilson reminded the Soviets through Philby because he knew history in his head, and even Stalin in this era may not know as much as he did about the cost of the Soviet Union in this world war.

The Soviet Union chose not to publish population statistics after the war, and it was not until the fifties and sixties that the population was recounted, and 27 million people died in the war. That's the death number, and China's 35 million people are casualties, and the Chinese population base is even larger.

The Soviet Union's casualties were estimated at 70 million, while the Soviet Union, not counting the three Baltic states annexed, had only 160 million people. Removing half of the female population, the Soviet Union had reached an extremely weak level.

At the end of the war, the Soviet Union, with the exception of a powerful Soviet Red Army, could not be compared with the United States from any point of view, and it was also a pity that the Americans had just seen the throne of world hegemony and had not yet come out of their original thinking.

If Britain and France had been in the environment and position of the United States, and the old imperialists had flinched up, they might have destroyed the Soviet Union without hesitation, and the Americans would still not have deteriorated, and the courage in this regard was too small.

By leaking out the talent grab, Alan Wilson just wanted the Soviet Union and the United States to have a better balance of power. If we can slow down US rocket technology for a year and a half, it will be considered a success.

Sadly, Alan Wilson can only do this by capitalizing his enemies in this way. If important German talent fell into the hands of the British, it was almost the same as if it fell into the hands of the Americans.

At this time, Britain will not fall out with the Americans because of a few military talents, and once the Americans exert pressure, even if the British get talents in this area, there is a high probability that it will still fall into the hands of the Americans in the end.

Britain may not be able to stay, but the Soviet Union as an enemy can, and if the strength is sufficient, he would rather be an enemy with the United States.

As the liaison to British India in the Indian Office, he was also temporarily seconded to the Foreign Office, and Alan Wilson's working relationship remained in the Indian Office for the time being. Although he had only just returned to London, he had already made a number of friends through the necessary social interactions, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs.

As we all know, few officials who have returned home from British India are poor, Alan Wilson is completely in line with the personality, and soon said that many Whitehall civil servants are welcome, and he is already so good at a young age, who will go to Europe if Alan does not go to Europe?

Going back and forth between the civil servants of the two departments, this is how the network is established! In times of war, there was such a man who had just returned from a rich colony, and of course he was welcomed by many people.

Philby also arrived at the reception, and brought someone with him, and introduced to Alan Wilson, "Alan, this is my friend. Introducing Francis Burgess, a former broadcaster for the BBC. Now also working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! The opportunity is rare, maybe he will be like you when he will be sent to work.

"Hello, I heard Philby talk about you." Burgess reached out and shook Alan Wilson's hand.

Alan Wilson also took the initiative to stretch out his hand, feeling a little crooked in his heart, another one! The members of the Cambridge Five, if compared to the family background, Philby is definitely the best, and Philby's father is an earl.

Although the titles of Western Europe are of similar rank, the gold content is different in different countries. The great nobles of France are all dukes, and the aristocratic marquis of Germany is very rare. The British side is even stricter, and the earl is already considered a powerful and influential existence in high society.

Although the Mountbatten family was born as a prince, this prince is a title on the German side, not a British title. In England, except for the Prince of Wales, the rest of the princes are just titles, not real status, and earls are already rare.

When Burgess was a student at Cambridge, he became the most active member of the most famous "Cambridge Apostolic Society" at Cambridge University at that time, and the privileged "Pitt Club" with many members of the noble children.

"I just heard that there is a very interesting person who has returned from India, and today is the first time we have met. Europe is still relatively dangerous, so you must be careful when you go to Germany. Compared to Philby, Burgess seemed very familiar, he knew many people, and after a while he entered the crowd.

Philby sat at Alan Wilson's table, holding a wine glass and chatting, "Do you have any clue about the upcoming departure?" ”

"I haven't received a specific explanation yet, so I don't have much to say." Alan Wilson changed his words, "But from my personal point of view, the task is, of course, to dismantle the German war machine, and I think the most important thing in the German military industry is the field of rockets and some new weapons that appeared at the end of the war. These weapons may not be mature, but once the relevant information arrives in our Britain, the development will be even more mature. ”

"There is also the weapons and equipment left over from the war, whether to destroy and seal them or what." Alan Wilson stopped and said embarrassedly, "This is all my personal idea, and I still need to wait for the department's planning." ”

"That's true, but you don't really need to be perfect, and being able to participate in it is already a rich resume." Philby said indifferently with relief, "Maybe dealing with people from allies will consume a lot of your energy." ”

Well! Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, but he didn't know who Philby's allies were referring to.
