British civil servant

"Actually, in Barron's telegram, it was also mentioned that Allen is a person who values ​​power very much." Norman Brooke said to Edward Bridges when he saw the telegram, "It seems that I don't do a little bit every day. Things, like sorry for his position, made Barron very troubled."

"Actually, there are some things that don't make sense." Edward Bridges shook his head slightly. "Of course, this is not a big problem. Although he is very powerful in his position, he knows how to share the harvest and is not greedy." people."

"Or the greedy place is different." Norman Brook chuckled, "Well, after all, there is still some time left for the European Community meeting in Brussels, and the meeting in Paris with the United States will be next month. He wants to find It's nothing to do something, let him toss about it, it probably doesn't have a big purpose."

"It's nothing more than money," Edward Bridges added softly.

Chapter 363 The Future German Chancellor

At present, the military committees of the occupied areas still play a role, but there is no doubt that military control is not a good way.

Marshal Montgomery, the commander of the British-occupied area, has already returned to China to be the chief of staff, while the US military in the American-occupied area still has 20 troops left.

Compared with the millions of troops two years ago, it can be regarded as giving way to the administration.

Until the outbreak of the Korean War, this downward trend of garrisons will continue. This can be slightly adjusted, such as allowing the Dutch and Belgian troops to strengthen their garrisons in the British-occupied areas.

Although the time away was not long, Alan Wilson was not without regrets. For example, he missed the suspicious car accident of General Patton. The former chief executive of Bavaria had died in a car accident for two years.

Of course, Alan Wilson does not think that Patton is involved in a conspiracy that must be killed. Although Patton has a big mouth, he is only a professional soldier after all, and he has no interests involved. Retirement is enough, there is no need to do it at all, and of course there is no evidence that Button was murdered.

It is said that he has a high status, but in fact his status in the army is not high. The highest is the commander of the group army. The higher-ups have long made up their minds not to let him be the commander of the group army. He will be a four-star until he dies. And if the right decision is made, there is no need to start after he retires.

In order to show that he is doing something, Alan Wilson started from the number of troops stationed, showing that the current income of the United Kingdom is far from being comparable to that of the United States and the Soviet Union. Once a conflict arises, it may not respond in time.

In addition, the US-occupied area is in South Germany, and its value is far from comparable to that of the British-occupied area. It is obvious that the Soviet Union's offensive focus should be to choose the worthless South German area or most of the Ruhr area occupied by the British. things.

The telegram stated that this matter should be discussed at the Brussels meeting some time later, and that the Netherlands and Belgium, Germany's neighbors, should be allowed to share the pressure of the British garrison.

Prime Minister Attlee tried to control the total number of British troops to around 80. In fact, this number is not high compared to the plate in the hands of the United Kingdom, such as the Suez Canal, the Persian Gulf and Malaya. These are all defenses The place.

And there are U.S. and French troops in Germany to rely on. Prime Minister Attlee's idea is to reduce the size of the British troops stationed in Germany.

It can be seen from the positions of the respective occupied areas that once a conflict occurs, the British-occupied area will bear the brunt, and the American-occupied area will be on the flank. As for the French-occupied area, it will be behind the British-occupied area and the American-occupied area. Now, it is the turn of the French army to play a role.

"We help the Netherlands' operations in the East Indies and safeguard the interests of Belgium. It is normal to ask the two countries to try to expand the scale here in Europe and share the pressure of the British army."

After sending the telegram, Alan Wilson began to do his own work, asking for a list of releases and upcoming releases, and asking the trade committee to select files from companies such as Bayer and Farben Chemicals.

As one of the symbols of Germany, Bayer AG could not support Germany's war without his share.

Bayer has in-depth cooperation with the Third Reich in poison gas. Bayer even established a factory near Auschwitz to better cooperate with the experiments on Jews and other captives.

As for the great name of Farben Chemical, anyone who knows something about the development of the chemical industry in Germany will not be unfamiliar with him. The two companies check one for sure.

The relationship between Bayer and Farben Chemicals is that Bayer is a part of Farben Chemicals, but not exactly the same. Farben Chemicals is a collection of many German chemical companies and is a concern group.

If these people who serve the two companies are willing to choose a better place to live, the British Empire can let the past go.If they don't cooperate with this review, don't blame Alan Wilson for justice.

According to the four basic principles before Field Marshal Montgomery left Germany, first, determine the territory of Germany; second, ensure a reasonable standard of living for those living in Germany; third, enable the Germans to manage themselves; fourth, continue to supply the Germans food.

Montgomery believes that these four principles are the four pillars for building a new Germany from the ruins of the old, but the most important is the fourth pillar, the food pillar. If this pillar breaks, the other pillars will all collapse.

Alan Wilson was just following the guidance of Marshal Montgomery, so some criminal suspects who had just been released waited for Alan Wilson's visit again.

Can't let the Third Reich come back?Alan Wilson is passing through the sieve out of caution, and it is reasonable.

He was just doing some review work, and these released criminal suspects were not eligible to object.Happiness is something that comes out of comparison. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the situation in the Soviet-occupied area.

Dramatic socio-economic changes were also taking place in the Soviet-occupied areas.The land reform was carried out first. All large agricultural manors larger than [-] hectares, as well as manors previously owned by the National Socialist Party, were confiscated and redistributed to small farmers, landless laborers, and Eastern European Germans who entered the Soviet-occupied area from the east. The next part belongs to the state.

The legitimacy of these measures came from all sides: the confiscation of all the property of the National Socialist Party and war criminals was self-evident; rise.

Removing the influence of the Third Reich therefore necessitated a transformation of capitalism; Saxony also held a referendum in which a majority supported certain nationalization measures, which were later implemented elsewhere.

So he is just reviewing the records of some specific companies, how can it cause dissatisfaction?Dissatisfied people only need to see how people of the same class in the Soviet-occupied area are treated, and all dissatisfaction will disappear.

"Alan, in fact, if you want to do this, there is someone who may be able to help you." Harold, one of the two heads of the trade committee, came forward and said after knowing that Alan Wilson began to review the matter, " He is an opponent of the National Socialist Party, and his absolute innocence can weaken the dissatisfaction of many people."

"Is there such a person? This kind of person is really rare in the Three Kingdoms Occupied Area." Alan Wilson said in surprise, "There are still people on our side who have not cooperated with the National Socialist Party? "

When Harold heard Alan Wilson's words, he said with a little embarrassment on his face, "Look carefully, there are always some, just like in a tight fishing net, you can't catch all the fish."

If the opposition to the National Socialist Party's war of aggression is used as the standard, it is more legitimate to judge whether the Federal Republic of Germany or the Democratic Germany has more legitimacy.The Federal Republic of Germany is absolutely defeated.

There are not many people in the Federal Republic of Germany who have never cooperated with the National Socialist Party. As a result, the leaders of the GDR were imprisoned in concentration camps and imprisoned for "taking practical actions to stop the National Socialist Party and the war of aggression". exiles...

Since almost all of the GDR's top intelligence officers and political leaders during the Third Reich went into exile or went underground, the GDR handily won the propaganda battle in terms of legitimacy.

During the existence of the Democratic Republic of Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany never mentioned what Germany in the Third Reich was doing. They were all focusing on the future and seeking common ground while reserving differences.

"So Harold, who are you talking about?" Alan Wilson thought for a long time, and finally asked, who can help him in this matter?

"His name is Brandt and he just returned to Germany." Harold thought for a while and said the name. "This time, he came back to participate in the resumption of activities of the Social Democratic Party. The conference will be held in Hannover soon."

"Great, there are such people." Hearing Brandt's name, Alan Wilson changed his face instantly. Isn't this the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany?

Now Alan Wilson has a bold idea to work with the future chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.This is of course not the purpose, the purpose is to commit crimes together.

According to the news from the sidewalk, Brandt was suspected of being a Soviet spy. In fact, there was indeed a Stasi spy lurking beside Brandt. One formerly worked in a publishing house under the Ministry of State Security of the GDR.Later, he and his wife, the famous spy king Marcus Wolff, sneaked into the Federal Republic of Germany and mixed with a large number of eastern immigrants who immigrated there.

Guillaume is sociable and can chat and laugh with anyone.According to Wolfe's instructions, the Guillaumes should try to develop within the Social Democratic Party, so they joined the Social Democratic Party.

In the end, he was promoted step by step to be the chief assistant to the prime minister in charge of liaison with parliament and government agencies, roughly equivalent to the cabinet secretary, responsible for arranging a series of activities for Brandt.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Alan Wilson. He is not qualified to interfere in the internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany.

It can even be used at that time. If at this moment, the chancellor who will lead the Federal Republic of Germany in the future can keep some handles in his own hands, it will be beneficial to the British Empire in the future.

The Prime Minister's chief assistant is a spy. How can the Prime Minister be restrained?

"Hannover Social Democratic Party Congress, isn't that the headquarters of the former Trade Commission?" Allen Wilson said in a tone full of hope, "I can also participate?"

"Why not? This is the British-occupied area. We attended the resumed Social Democratic Party Congress just out of prudent considerations." Harold laughed, and instantly gave a plausible reason.

Don't say that this reason is acceptable, even if it is completely unattractive, it doesn't matter. Alan Wilson, who worked in the colony, never cared about these red tapes.

Chapter 364 Social Democratic Party Congress

Then when it was time to get off work, Alan Wilson drove away from the headquarters of the Trade Commission, first returned to the temporary apartment, and then went to the Hellman family, mainly to have a meal, which is normal.

The current economic situation in the British-occupied area can basically be said to maintain the rationing system of supply by ticket, but currency circulation also exists. After all, as the essence of Germany, there are many dignitaries in the British-occupied area.

Even if the world war destroyed Germany, the ordinary people only hope to live, and the rich and powerful can still drink coffee in the sun.

Not to mention, the huge profits made by the Pokina sisters through the tobacco factory are no less than those of the previous big German capitalists.

After Alan Wilson and the two sisters finished their meal, they asked Pokina, "Honey, the German political parties before the war have begun to resume their activities. If you really want to develop in the political arena, you have to choose a political party to join."

"It's still early, after all, the occupied areas of the countries are still doing their own thing." Pokina asked for Alan Wilson's opinion, "Would it be better to wait until the coalition government is formed?"

"Coalition government? Germany?" Seeing Pokina nodding, Alan Wilson hesitated and said, "Honey, don't think about the coalition government. If there is no accident, Germany will be divided in the future. It will become two country!"

"What?" Pokina stood up directly, and said incredulously, "You said Germany would be divided into two countries? Are you joking?"

This kind of reaction is quite normal in the eyes of Alan Wilson. After all, he is a German. It is normal to be excited when he thinks that his motherland is divided into two.

"I didn't say it will definitely happen, but it is almost inevitable. Our side and the Soviets will go to confrontation sooner or later." Alan Wilson took Pokina's hand again and let her sit on his lap, "You Don't think so much, you can't stop anything, it's all predestined. Not to mention you, even the Soviet Union can't do anything, what can they do? They can't do anything. The United States is too powerful now, even if The Soviet Union blocked Berlin, and the United States can build an air channel to guarantee the supply of Berlin."

Pokina was still digesting Alan Wilson's words, her heart fluctuated for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She said cautiously, "It seems that the major occupied areas are now preaching that Germany will not be divided."

"That's what I said, but action and publicity are always opposite." Alan Wilson said disapprovingly, "So taking advantage of the opening of the Social Democratic Party Congress in Hannover this time, if you want to make achievements in politics, you should consider it now." If you join a party, it will be difficult to handle when the situation is stable. The key is that as Germany is getting on the right track step by step, I may not be able to help you any more. You sisters follow me, and I will try my best to help you."

"I'll listen to you!" Pokina whispered with a low eyebrow, "You're going to be busy again. Whatever you want to do tonight, I can make your wish come true."

As soon as these words came out, Alan Wilson seemed to have lost weight. Not to mention that this woman just wanted to be an official, she just wanted him to think of a way to become the prime minister. He could try it.

"Am I going to Hannover too?" Pokina asked, drawing small circles on Allen Wilson with her fingers.

"No, the party of Conrad Adenauer is more suitable for you." Alan Wilson shook his head. "After all, the Social Democratic Party is still easy to cause vigilance. They are closer in thought to the Soviets. They are not worthy of trust."

This night, Alan Wilson experienced the eloquence of the dragoons. When he set off for Hannover, he felt like walking through the clouds, a typical overwork.

The two left separately to avoid suspicion. When Bokina left, Anna, who was standing by the window, watched her boss leave, and said, "Pervert."

The Social Democratic Party Conference in Hannover is the epitome of post-war German political party reactivation. Alan Wilson, who had talked about the division of Germany before, and some members of the British-occupied trade committee attended it in a friendly gesture.The two-sided life can be switched freely.

Everyone knows that parties like these Social Democratic Party and Socialist Party are disciples of Engels.

In fact, if Alan Wilson wants to help the British Empire establish influence, he should go to Conrad Adenauer.

The predecessor of the CDU has already been established, and Konrad Adenauer is the leader of this new party.

The most important thing Conrad Adenauer did during his tenure was that Alan Wilson believed that he contributed to the reconciliation between Germany and France and established the European Community, but now Alan Wilson feels that he is no longer needed. The European Community is obviously much stronger than the European Community in history.

Alan Wilson himself came forward to come to the Social Democratic Party, let Pokina go to Adenauer, and bet on both sides. No matter which party is in power, it can plant nails in the German political arena.

After all, the CDU is a party organized by Konrad Adenauer, and its background is actually not as good as that of the Social Democratic Party.

Although there is no clear understanding of the two parties, the CDU and the SPD, Alan Wilson knows that Germany in the next few decades will be in the hands of these two parties, which is absolutely correct.

Because eggs cannot be put in one basket, Alan Wilson and Pokina decided to go to the Social Democratic Party and the Christian Democratic Union respectively, so that no matter how Germany changes in the future, it will not be out of control.It is impossible for the German Communist Party to come to power, right?

If that kind of thing happens, Alan Wilson is also willing to show a flexible moral bottom line. In fact, he is also a... our person lurking in imperialism.If even Germany changes color, then it's a fart to fight against.

It was Hadro who came to Hannover with Alan Wilson, and the two watched how the SPD Congress was held.At a glance, the atmosphere was quite lively, after all, it was the first conference after the war.

Then Harold became worried, "The speeches of these Germans seem to mean the same as the Soviets."

"The difference between the Social Democratic Party and the German Communist Party is very small. After all, this is the place where the labor movement started. You must know that the gentleman who wrote Das Kapital is German." Alan Wilson explained when he heard Harold's concerns , "The situation is still unstable now, and it is not impossible for us to slowly dissolve the Soviet color of this party."

"What way?" Harold asked eagerly. Although civil servants cannot have obvious political inclinations, but in the current situation, the Soviet Union is watching from the east, so he couldn't help being anxious.

"We can't do this, what can we do? We can only ban the activities of the Social Democratic Party in the British-occupied area under military control, but doing so will only be counterproductive." Alan Wilson sighed, "Only the Prime Minister can do that." There is a way to get this thing on the right track.”

"Build a larger framework, including the German Social Democratic Party. Didn't the Soviet Union establish an international organization?" Alan Wilson nodded to himself, "Now the Labor Party is in power in the country, and Prime Minister Attlee also claims to be A true socialist, it would be fitting for the Labor Party to take the lead in establishing such an organization. How about calling it the Socialist International?"

"What's the use of this?" Harold smiled wryly, "Why can't I see the prospect at all?"

"Now that the socialist movement in Europe is so high, not only us, but even the Americans can only spend money. But the Soviet Union can start a new stove to establish an international organization, and of course we can do the same in the UK. The Labor Party government can find it, which is similar to what the Soviets advocated. But there are different parties.” Allen Wilson said, “In countries like the Soviet Union, we can’t use external pressure, so why don’t we pretend to be a group of people and join them from the inside? Stir it up into a mess and it'll be settled."

"The final result may not be satisfactory, but we only need to make the process satisfactory."

The two are thinking about how to deal with difficult issues. Should they unite with the French? After all, the French Socialist Party is also quite powerful. If Britain and France can take the lead, not only will this matter be easier to handle, but also the German Social Democratic Party can be settled in one fell swoop. In a subordinate position, it is a good thing for the construction of the post-war order.

"When I get to the Brussels meeting, I will find an opportunity to talk to the French." Alan Wilson and Harold, who already had an idea, decided to truthfully feed back the problems discovered by the current Social Democratic Party conference to the government.

The discussion between the two had to be interrupted because Brandt came to power, and Alan Wilson also wanted to hear what the kneeling German Chancellor could say.

It has to be said that because of the origins of the German Social Democratic Party and the German Communist Party, Brandt has been under suspicion since he first came to power. If he hadn't come to power, he would have been in his 60s.

At the time of Konrad Adenauer, maybe the occupying forces of the three countries should discuss how to establish a military government.Considering that the largest party in France at present, it is also possible that the British and American troops discussed the establishment of a military government, leaving that suspicious ally aside.

During the Cold War, the United States had no interest in democracy at all. Especially in the middle and early stages, the government model that the United States admired most was the military government. Adding up the coups instigated by the United States from the beginning to the end of the Cold War, the military government definitely surpassed the sum of other government models.

After listening to it for a while, Alan Wilson loses interest and there is nothing new about it.Instead, think about how to dismantle the workers' parties in Western Europe that are still influenced by the Soviet Union.

At present, many workers' parties that are not Soviet-style parties have been influenced by the Soviet Union.

This trend did not ease until the 50s. Its origin was the German Social Democratic Party’s Godesberg Program. Since then, the Social Democratic Party has been officially recognized as a reform party.different from the various commons.

It would be a pity for a political party of a defeated country to take the lead in establishing influence.The leaders of reform are not at all the Germans, and Prime Minister Attlee is very suitable.

Chapter 365 I'm the one

The later Nationality Headquarters of the Socialist Party was indeed in London, but the development of the Socialist International, which the Labor Party had been preparing for since World War II, was somewhat slower.

It took 15 years of planning from the start of preparations in [-], to the Frankfurt Congress in [-], and to the formal separation from the workers' parties that supported the Soviet Union in [-].

Although it is a common problem in countries with electoral systems to procrastinate and be more efficient, this is too much.

Alan Wilson felt that as long as the French Socialist Party was dealt with, Germany, which is still under occupation, would have no resistance. It could not be delayed until the merger of the three occupied areas, otherwise troubles would arise.

Alan Wilson and Harold, people from the trade committee, appeared at the SPD conference in Germany.

It has an obvious taste of surveillance, which reflects certain doubts about the party that advocates the protection of workers' rights and interests in the country where the labor movement originated.

This is impossible, because in the party program of the German Social Democratic Party, it still retains the recognition of Marx's proposition.It was not until the revision in [-] that there was a clear distinction between formal and Soviet-style political parties.

It is normal for Alan Wilson to be suspicious of these potential Soviet spies. From different perspectives, people will naturally have different views. When Wilson was in power in the 60s, did Americans suspect that Prime Minister Wilson was a Soviet spy?

Although I have some doubts about the presence of the British, the Labor Party is currently in power in the UK, and Prime Minister Attlee is quite famous. Although the party has nothing to do with the civil service system, most people have never had the ability to discern. As long as Alan Wilson expresses certain It is not difficult to get away with the deception.

At the end of the Hannover Conference this time, the British people present were allowed to speak, and the members of the trade committee looked at each other. No one was willing to go up?This is not the time to be in the limelight, and civil servants are reluctant to dominate the headlines and push each other off.

"Alan, you are the Deputy Secretary-General at a young age, and it is more appropriate for you to speak on our behalf." Harold said as if I was doing it for your own good, saying that young people need such an opportunity.

If Alan Wilson is also a member of the Labor Party, he would believe it, but he is not. He directly retorted, "Deputy Secretary-General Harold, look at my age, how can I be convincing? If I go up to the Germans Thinking that we are perfunctory to them, this is a negative impression on the UK, anyone can tell with a glance that you are our leader, and it is more appropriate for you to speak on behalf of the UK."

Running over to show off the prestige of the occupying army was the original intention of Alan Wilson, but he definitely had no intention of showing off.

After a lot of prevarication, Alan Wilson stood up directly and said that he wanted to go to the toilet. Harold could only bite the bullet and went on stage to express his congratulations for the resumption of activities of the Social Democratic Party. Since [-], the Social Democratic Party opposed the National Socialist Party At the beginning, of course, skipping the fact that in the same year, a large number of members of the Social Democratic Party defected and turned around to cooperate with the National Socialist Party.
