British civil servant

"Using a lie to cover up the lie will further illustrate the authenticity of this matter." Norman Brook still said in the tone just now, "If I were a Soviet person, I would not pay attention to Allen's words, maintain the previous attitude, and not be entangled in blackmail."

The first day of talks had mixed consequences in London and Moscow, but that did not break the talks.The next day Alan Wilson began to continue the negotiation from a different angle, as if he wasn't the one who blackmailed yesterday.

"If the British side can let the Soviet Union send personnel to visit and study, this deal is still possible." Shepilov made a request and looked at Alan Wilson expectantly.

This has shown to a certain extent that the full payment of [-] engines can still be negotiated.

There was no problem with Alan Wilson's blackmail yesterday. In this case, Alan Wilson was determined that the previous judgment was correct. With this bottom line, he can make progress.

"The Soviets have already been to the engine factory. As for sending people to study? There is no need for this matter." Alan Wilson flatly refused, "There is no need for this at all. If the Soviet Union insists on this requirement, then out of Considering equality, I personally feel that the Soviet Union has something to learn from the British Empire. We want to visit the Kharkov Tank Factory. I wonder if our esteemed allies will agree?"

"This?" Shepilov frowned. If he was a senior diplomat, he would have to talk about it.But Sepilov really has no experience in this area. He works in the Propaganda Department.

The Kharkov Tank Factory is the cradle of the T34 tank and the backbone of the Soviet Union's ground power. Compared with these imperialist countries, the ground field is the only field in which the Soviet Union has an advantage.The air force and the Soviet Union are also at a disadvantage. As for the Red Navy, let alone, in front of Britain and the United States, it can only be said that there is no such thing.

This proposal to send people to study was directly countered by Alan Wilson's desire to learn from each other.

This day's negotiations have no results, and it is another day's cycle. Moscow and London are making plans and thinking about solutions. If Shepilov dares to agree to Alan Wilson's request, returning to Moscow will definitely be the end of the public enemy.

The Kharkov Tank Factory is also a research base for new tanks, and the advantages of tanks are extremely important to the Soviet Union.This is the weapon that most threatens Western Europe.

The Ukrainian second-in-command was in Berlin at this time, and he also expressed that he would never agree, telling Sepilov that he must not fall into the trap of imperialism and put the Soviet mother in danger.

This negotiation is also beneficial for Alan Wilson to establish a strong and exemplary image. In order to ensure the success rate, Alan Wilson did not hesitate to use the historical knowledge in his mind, as if the British Empire really operated a spy network within the Soviet Union.

But Beria couldn't dig out this spy network even if he was exhausted, so the two parties who failed to achieve their goals moved on to the next topic.

This time it involved the rubber industry and the export of tin ore. Shepilov was completely confused. He could only listen to Alan Wilson's nonsense, saying that learning from each other's strengths in trade would be beneficial to both countries.

This involves Shepilov's knowledge blind spot, and Khrushchev will not understand it for a while, so he decided to mix into the negotiating team. He thought that no one would know him. After all, Soviet cadres are not like British politicians. Exposure rate, not to mention Khrushchev is a local cadre.

However, Khrushchev was recognized by Alan Wilson at a glance, but after being taught by Greta Garbo's example, he concealed his shock, but his tone of speech became more polite unconsciously.

Did you joke about growing corn in Siberia before?Whoever said it stood up, I will sue you for defamation...

He talked nonsense for several days in a row, and today he suddenly became amiable. He talked about friendship when he opened his mouth, and talked about defeating Germany together when he shut up. They should coexist peacefully.

Flipping those few sentences over and over, it's like being a real diplomat, singing praises and doing nothing.

"On the question of rubber imports and tin mines, this Mr. Allen, I personally think that . . . "

Listening to Khrushchev's expression of opinion through a translator, Alan Wilson mentioned the cost of natural rubber and synthetic rubber in a bottom line but polite tone.

"This is a reconciled world. Let us focus on the future and seek common ground while reserving differences. Although our two countries have different systems, we can also learn from each other. Prime Minister Attlee is a socialist. Isn't he also the Prime Minister of the British Empire now? Is it?" Allen Wilson fiddled with his fingers, "As long as peace in Europe can be maintained, there are some things that everyone can discuss. I understand that the Soviet Union is self-sufficient, but it must be admitted that war cannot solve all problems."

Khrushchev glanced at Shepilov, meaning in his eyes, this is the British who you said is difficult to deal with?Looks like a really nice young man, doesn't he?

"Trade is a way to learn from each other's strengths." Alan Wilson continued to display his gentlemanly demeanor, explaining the benefits of such trade to the two countries. It is completely reasonable and well-founded, and he is completely different from himself a few days ago.

All the nonsense about the Soviet Union is a misunderstanding. Allen Wilson will only strike hard in the third world, and he has always been submissive to the United States and the Soviet Union on the surface.

Chapter 361 The Empire Needs You

After today's talks, Alan Wilson even shared the whiskey he brought with the Soviets to express his respect for his allies, "Although there are various problems between us, we in the UK believe that we can still coexist peacefully."

"Maybe Americans don't think so." Shepilov responded after hearing what Alan Wilson said.

"That's a matter for the Americans. It's not easy for me, an Englishman, to ask about this kind of thing." Alan Wilson said what he meant, please go and bite the United States. This stage belongs to your two countries.We in the United Kingdom are not suitable for participating in the past.

Diplomats all have the potential to live a double life, even if the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries is not far away according to history.Germany will also be officially divided into two parts.

The responsibility for splitting Germany belongs in principle to Britain, France and the United States, but they are members of the free world.Alan Wilson definitely believes that the root is still in the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union did not exist, Britain, France and the United States would not do this.

He even planned to go to the British-occupied area to release talents in the field of chemical engineering and biology. Of course, the Soviets did not need to know about this.

What needs to be known is that the United States is the enemy of the Soviet Union, and Britain is no longer the main enemy of the Soviet Union.

"This old gentleman's insight is amazing. I wonder if you can take a photo with me?" Although it has been seen that this is the second generation of the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson pretended not to know, posted it to show his friendliness, and I asked Khrushchev where he worked. It was really hard work for the country at such an age.

"I'm a Ukrainian!" Khrushchev said, but changed the place of work into an ambiguous reply.This answer can answer the question, but the answer is not comprehensive.

"Ukraine is a good place. It is said that it is a rare black land in the world, and it is a large granary in Eastern Europe." Alan Wilson said enviously, "One thing we must admit is that with such a piece of land in our hands, It is the foundation of a strong country."

He is not pretending to be envious, but really envious. There are only a few major black lands in the world, including the Soviet Union, the United States, and China. The order of area is also the same. The Soviet Union is the first, the United States is the second, and China is the first. three.Black soil is concentrated near the cold zone.

Allen Wilson is absolutely right about this, and the same is true of the black land in the United States. Before the colonists set foot on the American continent, the territory of the United States was probably the range of activities of nomads among the Indians.In a broad sense, the agricultural parts of the Indians are all near the equator.

Who made the North American continent almost look like a giant funnel right into the Arctic Circle?A burst of cold air hits and directly submerges the Gulf of Mexico. Once every few years, no farming nation can stand up.

The problem is that no one knows when the cold wave will come. In the southern United States, which is the same dimension as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it can change from [-] above zero to [-] below zero overnight. Who can bear it?

The genocide cold current in the agricultural era led to the territory of nomadic tribes in the United States, and compared with the Indians near the equator, the population of Indian nomadic tribes in the United States can be said to be quite sparse.

Khrushchev was also very happy to be recognized by the enemy, even if it was not the greatest enemy, and he also had a simple patriotic emotion in him.

"The mention of Ukrainians reminds me of the impressive diplomat at the Potsdam Conference, who seems to be called Fultseva." Alan Wilson said sincerely, "She is a very attractive lady."

"She, she doesn't actually work in the diplomatic field." Khrushchev talked about sex, and happened to know this female cadre, and talked about it, "She is an administrative cadre with a lovely son who is less than [-] years old. Two years old."

Does Fortseva have a son?Alan Wilson recalled it, as if he hadn't seen any historical records?But this is also reasonable, he must bring some changes to history, or is it a waste of time?

This whiskey meal was effective, and the atmosphere between the two sides is no longer tense. At present, it is not a political mistake to promote exports to the Soviet Union, and the United States will also export to the Soviet Union.

Now the trade between the United States and the Soviet Union is not a small number. The United States can do business with the Soviets, and of course the United Kingdom can do even more.In my impression, it was not until [-] that the U.S. Congress passed the first postwar Export Control Act, which established the trade control strategy for the Soviet Union in the form of legislation.

The U.S. trade control list includes comprehensive embargoes and export restrictions. At that time, the Truman administration determined that the breadth and depth of trade controls must be able to affect the entire production system of the Soviet Union.

For the United States, it is not the most serious thing for a certain president to announce sanctions against other countries.Congress formally legislates to fix the sanctions through the legal situation, that is the big deal.

For the United Kingdom, the United States is currently trading with the Soviet Union, so what qualifications does it have to criticize the United Kingdom.And even if it is to win over allies to impose a technological blockade on the Soviet Union, there are still breakthroughs.

For example, France, where sayings coexist, and Italy, where Italian communism exists, are potential breakthroughs.And it was indeed broken by the Soviet Union, especially Italy, which stood in line flexibly. During the Cold War, it often took the lead in surrendering to the enemy. When other countries could not do business with the Soviet Union, it stood up and ate the biggest cake from the Soviet Union.

Of course, as a member of Western countries, Italy did not dare to provide technical equipment to the Soviet Union with great fanfare. They controlled the cooperation between the two parties within a controllable range, and the cooperation between the two parties was mainly concentrated in the field of civilian industry.

Italy exported refrigerators, automobiles, steel pipes and other products to the Soviet Union, and transferred part of its production technology to the Soviet Union, in exchange for huge amounts of foreign exchange and abundant resources from the Soviet Union.

The most typical example is the Soviet Union's automobile industry. It can be said that most of the Soviet Union's automobile industry is the credit of Italy. The most famous prototype of the Soviet Union's Lada car is the Italian Fiat car.

In return, the Soviet Union not only paid a large amount of real money to Italy, purchased a large number of commodities and technologies from Italy, but also exported oil, natural gas and other resources to Italy at preferential prices.

Isn't British technology much better than Italy's?Since France and Italy can do this kind of thing, what can Britain not do?

The records of the negotiations at the Potsdam Palace in Berlin were continuously sent back to London by the accompanying agents.Norman Brook appreciated Alan Wilson's verbal attacks and threats, especially his flexible position on the moral bottom line.

Rolls-Royce's engine technology has also changed from the previous dozens of units to the first batch of [-], fully paid contracts.As for the rubber and tin mines in British Malaya, the progress is also very smooth.

"Edward, did the Soviet Union really kill 2000 million people?" Norman Brook analyzed while chatting with his predecessor Edward Bridges, "Otherwise, it is impossible to explain this matter. All the conditions listed by Allen before departure, Almost everything has been achieved, I thought it would not be so easy."

"Germany killed 800 million people. Compared with the loss of civilians in France during World War I, the Soviet Union must have paid a higher price. But the Soviet Union will never admit it!" Edward Bridges said with a long breath, "the current diplomatic The diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also have two attitudes."

"Some of the speeches that lean towards the Conservative Party should immediately stand with the Americans against the Soviet Union. The other part is like the current Labor Party government, which is biased towards the United States but does not want to fall out with the Soviet Union?" Of course Norman Brook also knows that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now, to the United States In the debate on what countermeasures the Soviet Union should take, "Prime Minister Attlee chose the latter."

"We have no right to ask what the prime minister thinks. But Alan is indeed very suitable for diplomatic work." He smiled slightly, "This proves that my previous judgment was correct."

"Yes, this negotiation was very unexpected. Allen really frightened the Soviets." Norman Brook said in amazement, "Among the overseas colonies, British Malaya's rubber and tin Mining itself is an important industry for earning foreign exchange. The Americans need it very much. Now that the important Soviet market has been opened, Malaya’s status will be valued even more. Then after the withdrawal of the British Indian troops, we must strengthen the Malaya's military power."

"And the Persian Gulf? By the way, the Americans are convening countries to discuss aid plans." Edward Bridges pondered for a while and said, "The prime minister is very eager for aid from the United States, and we must try our best to get the most beneficial part."

At the Potsdam Palace, Alan Wilson reached out and shook the hand extended by Shepilov. Just now, the two signed a trade memorandum on behalf of the two governments, opening the door for the export of British Malaya.

This is a win-win contract, and the Soviet Union does not suffer. No matter how powerful the artificial synthesis technology is, it is not as easy as natural rubber.For the British Empire, the largest market in the world is the United States, and the second largest market is the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is willing to open the door to convenience, which is definitely a good thing for the United Kingdom. The two great powers serve the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson has enough reasons to hand over to London.He has won a contract for England that is countless times better than in history, and now he is completely complacent.

The two sides shook hands and bid farewell. Alan Wilson and his team also returned to the British-occupied area of ​​Berlin, and planned to stop in Bonn for a while and go home, operate and go to Malaya to continue to contribute to the empire.

"Telegram from London, Alan." Eifel had been waiting for Alan Wilson for a long time, and when he came back, he took out the telegram from London, "Let you stay on the mainland first, there will be an important event in Paris next month Meeting, your name is on the attendance list."

Chapter 362 It's Nothing But Money

"Oh?" Alan Wilson took the telegram, scanned the content, and already had a general idea in mind.

The imperialist heart of the U.S. finally broke through the embryonic stage two years after the end of the World War and began to thrive.

As early as half a year ago, the Marshall Plan had been formally proposed. If the initial investment in Greece and Turkey was counted, it would have been earlier, but it had no obvious effect. After all, war is a behemoth that swallows money. Fighting while giving money, Even if the effect is not equal to zero, it will not change the situation in the Near East.

Alan Wilson, who has just won a big contract, seems to be staying in Europe for a month, and the time is still quite tight.

Although he is used to living on the go, the end of this year seems to be particularly busy.

It's not just a matter of work. Crown Prince Elizabeth is about to get married. Originally, this must have nothing to do with Alan Wilson.

But after some operations that he didn't want to work hard, it was closed. General Mountbatten, as an important member of the royal family, would definitely participate, and Pamela Mountbatten was no exception.

Alan Wilson, who had just signed the export contract, returned to Bonn and met with colleagues from the British Occupied Trade Committee.

Although we haven't seen each other for two years, Alan Wilson has also been promoted and sits on an equal footing with the two deputy secretary-generals of the Trade Commission, but they are planning the post-war reconstruction of Germany together, and they are very familiar with each other, and there is no grievance when they meet.

"I heard that there are strikes in France and Denmark. It's better in Germany!" Hearing Alan Wilson's question, Harold gave a pretty good answer, "However, our British-occupied area is okay. Entering the society, except for some important military enterprises that are still under restraint, most of the enterprises have reopened, and they have not fully recovered to their pre-war appearances, but they have already reached 80.00% before the war.

"That's really good." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no problem in Germany, the problem will be controllable.

At present, among the remaining major countries in Europe, Germany is the most important line of defense against the Soviet Union.As for the strikes in France, they have been like this since ancient times, and it is inconvenient for Alan Wilson to ask.

The most favorable thing at present is that, except for agriculture, all indicators in the UK have returned to pre-war levels.

In the current Europe, it can be said to stand out from the crowd, which is enough to exclaim that the old imperialism is invincible.The total amount of imports and exports depends on how to calculate it. The figures other than British India have naturally not returned to the pre-war level.

But it’s not that the two wings are flying together. Here, the Germans are squeezed to reduce costs and promote the imperial preferential system, and the potential of British India is tapped there.

Of course, the rationing system has not officially come to an end. There is no way to do it. The rationing system is mainly related to food issues.

But Alan Wilson believes that the official end of the rationing system in the country must be much earlier than the historical [-].

"There is no doubt that if the United States launches large-scale economic aid, London certainly hopes that we will occupy the largest share." Alan Wilson pondered for a while and said, "We should also have the largest share, who will not give it to us? For the French? For the Italians? The Communist Party of France and the Italian Communist Party are all there, but for Germany, it’s not going to change so quickly, right?”

After leaving the headquarters of the Trade Commission in Bonn, Alan Wilson returned to the apartment where he worked and lived in Europe before, and then secretly went to the residence of the Hellman family.

Although the busy days are quite painful every day, but this is my own choice, no matter how hard it is, I have to grit my teeth and persevere.

The preliminary meeting related to the Marshall Plan was in December. At this time, the telegram told him to go to Brussels first. As an official who had just returned from the colony, he still had advanced experience to share.

The three bodies are entangled together, and Alan Wilson, who enjoys the blessing of being equal, is satisfied, "I really want to spend more time with you."

"Where have you been? Are you leaving again just after you came back?" Pokina's arms, like lotus roots, cast a death entanglement on Alan Wilson, as if she would never end without giving me an explanation.

"It's all over anyway, so it's okay to tell you. I went to Berlin to have a negotiation with the Soviets." Alan Wilson thought that everything was done, and it was a foregone conclusion. Naturally, there was nothing to keep secret.

Let's talk about the sale of Rolls-Royce engines and the signing of rubber and tin ore import and export contracts.

"Are you negotiating with the Soviets?" With Pokinna's level, it is impossible to know this kind of thing, and it is only now that I realize it later.

"Two gold bars, please tell me which one is noble and which one is despicable?" Alan Wilson smiled slightly, kissed Pokina's face, and then felt the little hand behind her ribs Twist lightly, then turn around and give Anna the same treatment.

This kind of thing depends on how to say it. You can’t destroy the objective laws just because of some principles. It must be admitted that, as a defeated country, Italy also suffered the trauma of the war.

As we all know, Italy has a small territory, lack of resources, and a weak industrial base. It is the weakest link among the imperialist powers. How well the Soviets evaluate it, pauper imperialism.

However, Italy, which has no sense of existence and has been criticized by people, has entered a golden period of rapid development after World War II, creating an "economic miracle" that has attracted the attention of the world in a short period of time.

If you carefully observe when Italy was dominant during the Cold War, you can clearly sort out the context. The time when the Communist Party of Italy was the strongest was when Italy was overwhelming.

The greater the momentum of the Italian Communist Party, the more Italy can benefit from both sides, and Italy's economy depends on the momentum of the Italian Communist Party.The stronger the momentum of the Italian Communist Party, the more it will be able to allow Italy to enter the market controlled by the Soviet Union that other European countries cannot enter.

Even the oil crisis did not affect the development of Italy. Until the 90s, the development momentum of Italy was comparable to that of Germany. Then the Soviet Union knelt down, and Italy's development officially entered a stagnation.

This kind of thing, in the final analysis, is still that sentence, is it made in Italy?Can't I, Daying, do it?

At present, the British Empire is still supported by a large number of colonies. Isn't it more based on both sides than Italy?

At this time, a big deal had just been negotiated, and it was Alan Wilson, who was full of ambition, who provoked the war between Britain and Germany in Bonn, the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, and laid a solid foundation for going to Brussels.

It's still early, and Alan Wilson can use this time to do other things, and this is not hidden from the dragoon sisters.

"Are you going to examine the released prisoners?" Early the next morning, when the two sisters were getting dressed, Pokina's movements froze slightly, showing excellent hardware conditions in front of Alan Wilson.

"Well, ah, yes!" Swallowing a smear with difficulty, Alan Wilson was a little dizzy, as if his eyes were dizzy, and said, "Go find some talents, I have already sent a report to London, and I want to conduct a review on the release of war criminals." As you know, our treatment of prisoners captured by Germany is far less strict than that of the Soviet Union."

In the Nuremberg trial, they were all shot, but there were only a few war criminals, and the rest were tens of thousands of prisoners from various institutions and enterprises of the Third Reich.

Of the prisoners tried by the Soviet Union, less than one-fifth of them were acquitted, while war criminals in the Anglo-American and French-occupied areas had an acquittal probability of more than 50.00%. France did not reach this proportion, but it was far lighter than the Soviet Union.

After conducting some audits, it can be shown that the British Empire is serious about liquidating Germany, and the most important thing is that it can recruit talents. Pamela Mountbatten can certainly recruit people locally, but how high is the cost?There are lower-cost talents here in Germany, can't you live on a budget?

"I'm just a little surprised. You just finished negotiating business with the Soviets." Pokina said with restrained surprise.

"No contradiction, everything is profit-oriented. There is no fixed moral standard." Alan Wilson stood up with a smile, and slapped Pokina and Anna's buttocks, accompanied by the crisp sound and the coquettishness of the dragoon sisters.

Under the banner of never letting any bad guy go, and never wronging a good guy, Allen Wilson in Bonn formally reviewed the small war criminals who had been released or were about to be released.

At the same time, he also took over the right to investigate the remaining convicted war criminals who have not yet been released. The leader of the civil servants in the British-occupied area is nothing more than the two deputy secretaries-general of the Trade Commission. shareholder.

The British occupation is not a problem. He can do whatever he wants. In the telegram to London, Alan Wilson only said that there are still a few days before the meeting in Brussels. idle.
