The radio continued to perform its duties, broadcasting the edict of the end of the war read by the Emperor of Japan, "In view of the general situation of the world and the current situation of the Empire, I wish to take extraordinary measures to clean up the situation, and I hereby instruct my subjects that I have ordered the Imperial Government to notify the United States, Great Britain, China, and the Soviet Union that they are willing to accept their joint proclamation......"

Syllable! But Alan Wilson, the keyboard chivalrous, was so angry that he didn't hesitate to turn off the radio that was a valuable item in Germany at this time, this is not bushido, it should be a decisive battle in the homeland, and 100 million jade pieces will be broken.

Once Japan surrenders, the United States will have the energy to point fingers at Europe! When Mark, who was the liaison officer's assistant, entered Hugel's villa, he saw his boss staring at the radio with a strained face.

Compared to the Americas, which were in a carnival at this time, the reaction on the European side was much more muted, and London had no special impression of the Far East, but only published an official article.

As for the British civil servants and the military who had already been put to work in the British-occupied areas, they did not have time to react to Japan's surrender. Recovery is more difficult than expected.

"Liaison officer, it's a telegram from the Deputy Secretary-General." Mark took out the telegram in a daze, not knowing why his boss was like this, and if he saw Alan Wilson's reaction to Japan's surrender, he would probably be even more confused.

"Tim's telegram?" Alan Wilson asked rhetorically, and saw Mark nod and take it, it was a telegram from Tim Brand, the deputy secretary general of the British Occupied Zone, telling about the inventory and assessment of the British Occupied Zone, and of course some other contents, as well as temporary difficulties.

The main difficulty is the shortage of manpower, in fact, the British-occupied area is already considered the occupation zone with the least manpower difficulties. Because Marshal Montgomery soon released the captured German soldiers and established a force to assist the British occupation forces.

The prisoners of the French-occupied zone were all rebuilt in France after the war, while the prisoners of the American-occupied zone were kept in the Rhine camp.

But even so, compared to the huge ruins of the war, Germany, which has already suffered structural demographic damage, is the first to suffer from a shortage of labor, which is the most important part of Germany, and the British occupation zone is no exception.

The proportion of the population in Germany was already out of harmony, which was the main reason for the introduction of Turks in the Federal Republic of Germany after the war.

But the government of the Federal Republic of Germany could do this with foreign labor, but Britain could not do it instead of Germany. If Britain had done so, Britain would have become a punching bag for Germans if Germany had a conflict with its citizens because of immigrants.

So when Mihajlovich's refugees arrived in the British Occupation Zone, none of the senior officials of the British Occupation wanted to keep these refugees, and neither did Alan Wilson.

"The manpower difficulties are only temporary, in fact, I believe that the Deputy Secretary-General actually has a solution, which is to mobilize German women to participate in the labor force and supplement the shortage of male labor. I sent a telegram just out of politeness to get me to agree. Alan Wilson replied after reading the telegram, "Of course I agree, men and women are equal, as if I heard a saying when I was in Xiangjiang that women can hold up half the sky." ”

"And the liaison officer? I will call back to the Under-Secretary-General. "Mark understood what Alan Wilson meant?" Actually, leave those Yugoslavs behind? It can alleviate the problem of labor shortage, just because there are many men among those refugees. ”

"We as foreigners cannot come up with such a hated solution. Of course, if the Germans themselves want to eat, we can applaud and watch the excitement again. Alan Wilson shook his head slightly? I believe that German women will be able to rebuild after the war? Germanic women are tall and no worse than men. ”

Japan's surrender didn't leave Alan Wilson idle for even a minute? In Hugel's Villa, he is still in a state of mind where he is calm on the surface and panicked in his heart? Waiting for an answer from the previous representative of the German business.

Waiting? Sending telegrams became his most frequent work, and many of them were re-sent in a different way, especially to New Delhi.

Remind Sir Barron not to forget about the Kra Isthmus and the Japanese prisoners of war. Finally the Hugel Villa welcomed the first company representative to go and return? Schuler, the representative of Mercedes-Benz, was the first to return.

Alan Wilson overjoyed? Immediately meet with the representative of the company that was the first to eat crabs, if it were not for the occupying country, he would have wanted to ask Mercedes-Benz what it was thinking first.

"Mr. William Giselle asked me to represent him? Expressing gratitude to Mr. Allen for his efforts to save German businesses. Schuller sat down and waited for a while before he spoke, "I also brought a very nice gift, the railway has not yet been restored, and the road conditions are not good, I believe that the Allen liaison officer must have worked very hard before and after running in the Ruhr area, and the most important thing is that it is shameful to waste time, so you must like this gift very much, I wonder if Mr. Allen can come out with me to have a look." ”

William Giselle is the chairman of the board of directors of Mercedes-Benz, to be exact, the former chairman, and luckily for the head of the Krupp family, the Mercedes-Benz company, which manufactures military trucks, is not as conspicuous as the Krupp family, and has not yet been imprisoned.

Want to pay a bribe? Ready to send a car? Alan Wilson's spirits lifted a bit, but just a car? It didn't seem to be anything, and he said, "Isn't this okay?" I can ride in a military vehicle. ”

"Liaison Officer Allen? You'll find out when you come out and see. Schuller had already seen the greed of this British liaison officer, and the fact that the British civil servants in the British occupation zone were all greedy at the moment, was just a matter of more or less.

William Giselle has already learned through channels whether Alan Wilson, who came forward to negotiate with German companies, is worth showing favor, and under the prompting of the same greedy British civil servants, Mercedes-Benz has known Alan Wilson, which is a very promising investment object.

Deeply regarded by the current head of the British civil service, it is logical to make a woo now.

Leading Alan Wilson out of the villa and onto the lawn outside, Schuller directly unveiled the canvas, and a Mercedes-Benz sedan that could definitely be called a luxury in 1945 appeared in front of Alan Wilson.

This sedan is full of muscular beauty, which is different from the sedans of later generations, and the body is the ultimate pure black, which is very eye-catching. At first glance, it is a rare treasure.

And Schuller's words confirmed Alan Wilson's conjecture, "I wonder if Allen Liaison has heard of the Mercedes-Benz 770K bulletproof car?" ”

"I've heard of it, this ......" Alan Wilson stammered rarely, pointing to the mouth of the car in front of him but couldn't keep up with his brain, he had heard the name of the Mercedes-Benz 770K bulletproof car in his second year of secondary school, Hitler was a loyal fan of the Mercedes-Benz company, Hitler was imprisoned for the beer hall riot, and the biggest wish of the abbreviation in the letter in prison was to have his own Mercedes-Benz car.

This wish came true when he became Chancellor of Germany, and because he was loved by Hitler, Mercedes-Benz was very proud of it, and built an exclusive car for Hitler himself, the 770K.

"Oh, I didn't expect Liaison Officer Allen to know so much about Germany, I think I have a rough idea of why you are responsible for supporting German companies in the British-occupied zone." Schuller said this, "It's a pity that only seventeen Mercedes-Benz 770K bulletproof cars were produced and given to German high-ranking officials and foreign heads of state at that time, and now there should be one more in Moscow." We don't have it anymore. ”

"In front of you is a Mercedes-Benz 770K2 bulletproof car, a total of eighty-eight units were produced. Equipped with the same engine and supercharging, it outputs 230 horsepower at 3,200 rpm, and the other equipment is the same as the Mercedes-Benz 770K bulletproof car, the inner wall of the door is equipped with bulletproof steel plates, the tires have bulletproof rubber cloth woven with special steel wire, and several pocket pistols can be placed in the dark inside the car to defend themselves. ”

Schuler said, "Even if it is a car of this type, there is only one Mercedes-Benz company now. And when the production line is stagnant, there will be no latecomers. I don't know if Liaison Officer Alan likes this gift. ”

"This gift is too expensive." Alan Wilson withdrew his longing gaze and refused in an undetermined tone.

Schuller took in Alan Wilson's performance and said in a different tone, "Now it's just a trophy, the U.S. military has a car in the hands of Hitler himself, and now it is also used as a means of transportation, which is not a big deal." ”

"That's it!" Alan Wilson swallowed a mouthful of spit, if it is properly preserved, it will not be worth eighteen million dollars in a few decades? Where is this car, it's almost a pile of gold.

"This is a personal gift from Mercedes-Benz to the representatives of the occupied territories, showing the determination of Mercedes-Benz and Britain to cooperate and restore the German economy, Mr. Allen, do not get me wrong." Schuller opened the car door as he spoke, and said in amazement, "This is also to show the friendship between Britain and Germany." ”

Showing the friendship between Britain and Germany can be given to the queen? Giving it to Alan Wilson was a bribe, but Alan Wilson, who had already been occupied by greed, easily accepted the kindness of Mercedes-Benz, he did need a means of transportation for the British Empire in the Ruhr area.

"I know in my heart that Mercedes-Benz is very willing to participate in the post-war reconstruction!" Alan Wilson restrained his greed and asked Schuller what his purpose was, "If there is any difficulty, you can just kick it out." ”

"With such an understanding liaison officer in the British-occupied zone, I believe that the German economy will recover soon." Schuler first complimented him slightly, and then said, "Mercedes-Benz wants to resume car production. ”

"It can't be done." Although Alan Wilson took a bribe, he still gave a simple refusal, and then changed the conversation, "Things have to be taken one step at a time, and any impatient action will backfire." ”

Oh? Schuller frowned, and heard Alan Wilson say, "If the business is to recover slowly, you can start with car repairs, if Mercedes-Benz can give the British occupation army military vehicles the convenience of repair, I believe that the day of resumption of business is not far away, start from the basics." ”
