Chapter 46: The Allen Report

For the British media who came to witness the surrender ceremony, they will not leave Berlin for the time being, and now everyone knows that there will be a joint military parade of four countries next month, which is another big news, and Berlin has a reason to be there.

Although the four countries were openly allies, compared with the Soviet Red Army, the United States, Britain, and France still generally stood on the same side, and it was also a very important matter to establish effective public opinion guidance in Berlin.

Of course, these Berlin-based correspondents have been sent by the major newspapers, and even Alan Wilson himself knows about them. It was already a little late to guide public opinion, and the elite forces of the NKVD of the Soviet Union had already dug three feet into the ground in the Soviet-occupied areas and searched for German military scientists whose names were hung on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

All this even kept the Americans who had not yet reacted in the dark, not knowing that their secret actions had been fully watched by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was closely watching every move.

On the streets of London, reports of Germany's formal surrender filled the citizens of London, who were already a little tired of the war, and the British Empire had finally won the world war, trampling the old rivals of the Germans under their feet.

In celebration of the victory over the old enemy, the London government also relaxed its controls, and almost instantly, London was lifted in a state of war, and in this celebratory atmosphere, Philby came to his friend's house in civilian clothes.

"Oh, Philby, it's lively out there right now, isn't it?" Donald McLean was not surprised by this, and as he spoke, Francis Burgess came out of the back room and nodded at Philby.

"Oh, and celebrating the surrender of the Germans is, for most people, something to be relieved of." Philby snorted and threw the papers on the table.

"What is this?" Burgess frowned and looked at the file bag on the table.

"I also just received a document from Berlin to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Philby shrugged his shoulders and said to Donald, "Actually, even if I don't take it, you should see it right away, and according to the process, it will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tomorrow after we have completed our inspection." ”

Donald McLean, born in 1915. He was a British diplomat in France, the United States, Egypt and other countries. Maclean's father was an English-born Scotsman, a liberal politician who served as chairman of the Education Committee.

At the age of twenty, MacLean first stepped through the doors of the Foreign Office, and from then on he became the first of the Cambridge Five to break into the heart of British power.

"It's a written report from Berlin, right? Let me see! When Donald McLean heard Philby say this, he was immediately intrigued, and he flipped through it, and soon he was fully immersed in it.

"What's wrong, I'll see!" Burgess saw Alan Wilson's name at a glance and glanced at Philby with a strange gaze, "A symbol of our civil servants in the British Empire?" Still, Philby, you seem to be paying attention to him. ”

Alan Wilson knew that he would have so much influence to give money to French women on the streets of Paris, and he might consider resigning from public office at the right time, joining the Conservative Party or the Labour Party, conducting election campaigns, and perhaps becoming the prime minister of the British Empire.

"With his current popularity, it's hard not to be noticed. And at such a young age, he was taken care of by General Mountbatten, who was a commissioner in Hyderabad in British India, and went directly to Germany to get seniority when he came back, how could I not pay attention to him. Philby said that he did not blame himself, and then changed the conversation, "You all have work experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, take a good look at the things on it." ”

Burgess stretched out his hand to signal that he should not be impatient, and then took the document and looked at it, and the document in front of the three of them was a report written by Alan Wilson, which had taken the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in one stroke.

Except for the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in the Balkans, the rest of the content is not only not mentioned in one stroke, but also very detailed.

In his report, Alan Wilson first criticized the possibility of the Soviet Union posing a threat to world peace and turning the people of the free world into puppets of the Soviet Union, and after a brief political correctness, he analyzed the situation in the Soviet Union from the standpoint of imperialism.

"With the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army, after four years of bloody war with Germany, the Allied forces on the Western Front may not be the opponent of the Soviet Red Army on the ground, but they can have an impact on the Soviet-occupied areas by means to a certain extent. Anglo-American-French, especially the United States, has this economic power. ”

It is not surprising that the Soviet Union was hostile to the Soviet Union in an imperialist tone, and Donald and Burgess also nodded secretly, and then said that the US, Britain, and French-occupied areas could use their strong economic power to exert influence on the Soviet-occupied areas.

So far, everything is normal, but in the last paragraph it says, "The Soviet Union occupies nearly half of the Eurasian continent, and once it becomes strong, it will be difficult to contain." After the baptism of world war, it was difficult for the Allies to match in terms of land forces, and the Soviet Union had to be imprisoned through superficial dΓ©tente actions. On the premise of maintaining the current situation in Europe, the possible weak link is not in Europe, but in Asia. ”

"From what I have seen in British India, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is no longer comparable to that of four years ago. Not to mention the army facing the European battlefield, even the Anglo-Indian army in the face of British India was also very difficult. ”

"Once the Soviet Union transferred the Soviet Red Army in Europe to Asia, with the current military strength of the Asian Allies, it was likely that it would not be able to defeat the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was not known for its navy, but Sakhalin and Hokkaido could cross without a large navy. What's more, the Japanese Combined Fleet has been completely lost, and the Soviets can land even if they are bathtubs, and once they land, the old, weak, sick and disabled in Japan are definitely not the opponents of the Soviet Red Army. ”

"Once the Soviet Red Army occupies Hokkaido, the fragile environment in the Far East will be greatly improved. If Hokkaido is in the hands of the Allies, the whole of Japan will be the front line for the Allies to blockade the Soviet Union, and if Hokkaido falls into the hands of the Soviet Union, it will in turn become the front line in the core area of Japan, and even if the troops are stationed in Japan, Britain and the United States will not be stable. ”

"Well, do you think it's whimsical?" Philby looked at his friend and paused for an answer.

"It's definitely not whimsical, on the contrary, it's hard for me to believe that this is an administrative civil servant from the colony, and I also believe that he has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many years." Burgess frowned and said solemnly, "But the analysis of Japan? ”

"I checked, he was a student of the Oriental College, worked in Xiangjiang with his father, went to British India after the fall, and the most important thing was to provide information about Pearl Harbor." Philby replied very seriously, "I can say that I know the Far East very well. ”

"Needless to say, the news must be transmitted to the Soviet comrades immediately." "It's shameless to be greedy imperialists, not even willing to pretend to be friendly," said Donald. ”
