"It's like we're warming up for an important meeting." "A very important meeting. ”

A very important meeting? Alan Wilson suddenly remembered, the Potsdam Conference? Ahead of schedule?

Of course, he knew where Potsdam was, the southwestern suburbs of the city of Greater Berlin, which was very safe in terms of location, not far from the city of Greater Berlin, and the troops of the four countries stationed in the city of Greater Berlin could make any possible danger disappear.

The Potsdam Conference, of course, talked about a lot of issues, but the main ones are just a few, who has the say in the post-war European order, how to divide the forces, before the war, the Soviet Union and Germany divided Poland together, although Germany was defeated, but the Soviet Union was not defeated.

Counting on the Soviet Union to cede occupied eastern Poland was an almost impossible task. In saying that the problems between Poland and the USSR were very complicated, and during the period of Imperial Russia, Poland was part of the Russian Empire. The Soviet-Polish war, Poland's torture and killing of prisoners of war, and other problems were not easy to solve.

The problem lies with one of the parties to the Soviet-Polish war, but now the leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin himself. The defeat in the Soviet-Polish war caused an uproar within the Soviet Union and greatly embarrassed Stalin. Other figures involved are Trotsky, the father of the Soviet Red Army, and Tukhachevsky, who has the title of Red Napoleon.

Stalin and Trotsky were seriously divided and fought with each other on the operational program and deployment. In the war against Poland, Trotsky relied on the Western Front, while Stalin focused on the Southwestern Front: after the defeat, Trotsky believed that the delay in reinforcements of Stalin's Southwestern Front to the main battlefield in the Soviet-Polish War was a major reason for the defeat of the Red Army.

Poland was the place where Stalin was forcibly detained by Trotsky, so the Soviet Union would never spit out the eastern territories occupied by the Soviet Union, so in the end it was the eastern territories of Germany that were occupied by Poland as compensation.

With a little thought, Alan Wilson knew that this meeting, which would determine the post-war European order, would surely last a long time. In fact, it is exactly what it is.

Alan Wilson walked to the window, held the window edge with one hand and asked, "So, we are warming up for the upcoming summit?" ”

"London's vague rhetoric is probably like that." Ivor was busy with his own business, and said unintentionally, "The general election is in July, and maybe Prime Minister Churchill wants to increase some certainty." ”

"That makes sense." Alan Wilson decisively accepted this explanation, isn't this the very famous defeat of Churchill? Halfway through the Potsdam Conference, he returned to London and had a new prime minister to continue the meeting.

In the position of civil servants, some politicians are implicated, and Alan Wilson does not see anything wrong. Historically, Churchill may not have considered this issue, but this time and space suddenly considered this issue, which is also very normal, how can politicians not think about elections?

But he was also a little worried that the mine had just been planted, and if it exploded just in time for the Potsdam Conference? Alan Wilson, leaning on the window, looked uncertain, things were too complicated on the European side, and he was actually a little nostalgic for the happy life of British India now.

Compared with the complicated situation on the European side, the political environment in British India was more relaxed. How to distribute it, how to deal with it, the British Indian government still has an absolutely strong position, take 10,000 steps back and say, make money and make peace of mind, do not worry about being discovered by others, the prosperity of the British Empire is worthy of being built on the colonies.

The matter has come to this point, and Alan Wilson can't stop doing things because of worry, so he quickly joined in the preparations, "I don't know who will preside over the military parade that we hold independently?" ”

"It should be Marshal Montgomery, who has been too busy lately to receive awards and celebrations from various countries. I heard that the USSR seems to have prepared the Order of Victory, ready to award Marshal Montgomery. Ivor took out a piece of paper, handed it to Alan Wilson, and said, "This is a notice from the Soviets." ”

"That's something to celebrate, and the marshal deserves to be treated as such." Alan Wilson smiled, not to mention whether Montgomery himself is a first-class general, but Montgomery is definitely outstanding at the military level.

After the surrender of Germany, the large number of soldiers and refugees became the main problem for the occupying forces, and these people had to pay for the British army. Hunger and disease became an urgent problem for Montgomery, and in order to restore order as soon as possible, he developed a management plan, which was implemented in a timely manner.

In response to the casual occupation or looting of German houses by British officers and soldiers, Montgomery was determined to put a stop to this trend.

All subordinate units are required to move out of urban areas, strictly control personnel going out, and are not allowed to enter and leave hotels, restaurants, etc.; Robbery, both individually and collectively, is strictly prohibited, and anyone who violates this order shall be tried by a court-martial, regardless of rank.

Montgomery's command also had a staff group of German prisoners of war to assist the British occupation forces in administering German prisoners of war, and Britain far outstripped the Soviet Union and the United States in the fair treatment of prisoners.

Because Montgomery was a pure soldier, but unlike a war maniac like Patton, he did not have much prejudice against the Soviet Union on the surface, and had a good relationship with Soviet military generals, so it was only appropriate to preside over this military parade.

After meeting and greeting Eivor, Alan Wilson returned to his temporary residence in Berlin.

After leaving Berlin for a while, Alan Wilson saw that order in Berlin had been restored well, and there were fewer ruins.

Returning to his temporary apartment with a cigarette in his mouth, Alan Wilson cleaned up the room and muttered, "I've got a servant, and I'll have to live here for at least a while." ”

Although he was eager to return to British India immediately, he had to solve the problems at hand.

Alan Wilson's return to Berlin was not a secret operation, and naturally everyone who should know knew about it.

"Let's see if we can hire a servant tomorrow!" In the evening, in front of his visiting colleagues, Alan Wilson complained, "I went to Vienna and almost forgot about it." ”

"There is no shortage of labor in Berlin now, and we are looking for servants wherever we live, so we can choose whatever you want." Several colleagues laughed, revealing a look that everyone understood.

"You guys? Is the servant you are looking for to take care of your daily life, or is it to take care of you? Alan Wilson squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Then tomorrow I'll go out for a walk to see how the city of Berlin is recovering, you have to follow me, I'm not as familiar with this place as you are, don't get lost then, let the Soviet soldiers pick me up and call me an imperialist spy." ”

Ha ha! There was a burst of laughter in the apartment, especially at Alan Wilson, who said that no one knew more about refugees than I did.
