"But there are some similarities with the Soviet policy. Wouldn't the agencies in the US-occupied areas think too much about it?" Tim Brand psychologically agrees with this idea, but he must take into account the feelings of the Americans.
"This is a matter for the British-occupied area. We can do it as effectively as possible. Who cares about the Americans?" Harold sneered, "I heard one thing. The Prime Minister is in a very bad mood now. I heard that since Japan announced
The day after the surrender began, the Americans informed London that aid to Britain would be stopped immediately, this month."
"These greedy Americans, they got so much benefit during the war, but they are so stingy." Several people whispered for a while, the number of bases from the British Empire that the United States took over during the war could not be bought with money.
Come.
Now we don't even want to pretend to be friendly, and we will cut off aid the day after Japan surrenders.
"The whole world has already experienced the greed of Americans. If it weren't for their greed, it would not have developed to the point it is today." Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. The British Empire has not yet emerged from the thinking of a world hegemon.
I am too used to being blackmailed by Americans, but there will be many such things in the future.
The key is that Britain must retain its current strength. Once it enters the track of gradual decline, it will be impossible to save it.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with imitating the Soviet Union. We all know that during the Great Depression, the Soviet Union grew from strength to strength. We are not the only ones who know this. I believe the person who knows it best is our current Prime Minister Attlee." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Actually, we
I believe that the British Empire now has more advantages than the Soviet Union."
"Where is the advantage?" Tim Brand and Harold were both interested. In fact, during the Great Depression, Britain was not ignorant of the changes in the Soviet Union. As Alan Wilson said, Ed
The Prime Minister initially had great admiration for the Soviet Union.
It's just that the Conservative Party was in power at the time, and the Labor Party was in opposition and had little say.
"The Soviet Union's method of administrative directives is that all the surplus value in a society is owned by the state, and the state then holds these excess values in its hands and waits to be sold. It happened to be during the Great Depression. The Soviet Union held the resources in its hands.
"An impact against the trend." Alan Wilson said eloquently, "In fact, the existence of the Soviet Union is a supplement to our free world. Of course, the premise is that we will always be stronger than them. It is best to maintain the status quo."
"We adopted the Soviet method and deliberately transformed the instructions to make them specious. This made the Germans doubt the Soviet system. Their long-term living conditions would only be maintained below the minimum level, and they would become dissatisfied over time. And during this period, we
Through the Trade Commission and the Military Commission, we can hold the surplus value of the British-occupied areas in our hands and exchange it with British India, so that Britain can quickly restore prosperity."
"And Germans are generally disgusted with policies similar to those of the Soviet Union. This can also play a role in stabilizing Germany and blocking the Soviet Union. It is simply great."
"We pretend that we are also socialists and infiltrate the enemy. This can make Germany resent the Soviet system. This is more effective than repeating the evil of the Soviet Union a hundred times." Tim Brand clenched his fists, his face
With an excited smile on his face, he said, "This should be done not only in the British-occupied areas, but also in British India. With the surplus value in both places in hand, I think the local rationing system will be abolished soon."
"Of course, gentlemen. It is precisely because of hostility that we have to join in. Applying pressure from outside will only cause greater backlash. If we join in, we will attribute all the problems in Germany to the Soviet Union's wrong approach. The whole process
The British Empire is not responsible! We have already learned from it, but it is obvious that the Germans are not ready." Alan Wilson also said with excitement, "Long propaganda has no effect. We only need to let the Germans understand two sentences.
That’s fine, rationing is socialism, and voluntary labor is socialism.”
"That's right!" Hadrow happily took out a bottle of whiskey, opened it and said, "Let's drink to the rationing system."
"Cheers to labor and rations!" Tim Brand added with a smile.
"Cheers to the prosperity of the British Empire. With the British Occupation Zone and British India, Britain will definitely get out of trouble quickly. We don't need Americans at all." Alan Wilson also raised his glass, bang...
Drinking whiskey, the three decided to set up a new organization specifically responsible for involving German women in reconstruction. At the same time, they also gave a document to the commander of the British occupation zone, Marshal Montgomery, hoping to get Marshal Montgomery's approval.
After obtaining the approval of the Military Commission, the British-occupied Trade Committee formally established the German Women's Work and Labor Bureau, and at the same time announced that post-war reconstruction labor would be linked to the receipt of rations under the rationing system.
The Military Commission and the Trade Commission simultaneously announced that women between the ages of sixteen and fifty, who did not have young children or sick elderly people at home who needed special care, must go to the local labor bureau to assign them jobs.
If eligible women do not report to the labor bureau, the Control Board will not issue them food ration certificates. This ration certificate is very important to every family. Without this certificate, you will not be able to fill your stomach and may be eaten alive.
starve.
Isabella Bokina, who was in Bonn, suddenly became the director of the German Women's Labor Bureau in Bonn. She was responsible for counting the number of women in Bonn and arranging post-war reconstruction work. She became a powerful figure in Bonn.
The valuables at home have piled up like a mountain, but Isabella Bokina still dressed simply and went to the front line to join the work. There was a look of weather on her face, but this attitude was very recognized by the women of Bonn.
Although there are some rumors that this young and beautiful woman became the mistress of the British before she became what she is today. But in the current environment of Germany's defeat, this kind of thing is not so shameful.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many women maintain unclear relationships with soldiers of the occupying army. All women are accustomed to the incident of Isabella Bokina.
Just as the Trade Committee expected, women all over the British-occupied areas took action. Their enthusiasm for work increased countless times compared with before. The urban areas full of rubble were also being cleared at an alarming speed.
Whether it's Hannover, Cologne, Hamburg, Essen or Bonn, huge groups of German women are working in urban areas full of rubble. They are also sorting garbage and separating metal from the rubble. Now
Everything in Germany is valuable, at least in the eyes of civilians.
The ports in the British-occupied area also began to prosper, but Alan Wilson felt that the fly in the ointment was when his tobacco machinery would arrive. Last time, Alim said it had already passed the Suez Canal.
He can't wait for the tobacco machinery to arrive soon. Taking bribes is not a good way to make a fortune, but it is okay occasionally. If he wants to make money on his own, he must make money through honest channels.
However, the first news that came was not that the freighter had arrived, but that a member of the House of Commons had been sent from London to inspect the work.
When Deputy Secretary-General Tim Brand announced the meeting with a telegram, Alan Wilson asked, "Who is this congressman? It seems that everyone is not very happy."
"It's Congressman Wilson." Hadrow smiled bitterly and said, "This Congressman is not easy to fool. He is a service..."
"Yes, it's service." Tim Brand emphasized his colleague's slip of the tongue, and then explained, "He was originally a civil servant. He resigned from his position as a civil servant during this general election, joined the Labor Party and participated in the general election. Now he is a member of Congress
Secretary. He knows our work very well and is a professional person."
Wilson? Prime Minister? Alan Wilson remembers that the Labor Party seemed to have only one famous figure named Wilson. He was the British Prime Minister in the 1960s and set a record for the most re-elections.
As the war came to an end, Harold Wilson began to seek to find a seat in the House of Commons in the upcoming general election. In the general election, the Labor Party defeated the Conservative Party and won a big victory in the general election, and Harold Wilson also successfully won a seat in the House of Commons.
He was elected as a member of Parliament. But what he didn't expect was that he was immediately appointed as the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Public Affairs.
But in fact, Harold Wilson is only a 29-year-old young man this year. He is already a member of the ruling party and the Secretary of Parliament. He is also the youngest member of Parliament in the UK.
Alan Wilson knew that the future Prime Minister Wilson had just begun his journey to becoming a great hero. He continuously defeated the Conservative Party in the 1960s, and it was not until Mrs. Thatcher came to power that he broke his record of being in power.
However, the members of the Trade Committee were not very willing to do so because a congressman who had been a civil servant now wanted to inspect the British-occupied area. The reason for this reluctance was that Congressman Wilson knew civil servants well and was now appearing as a congressman.
This is very uncomfortable. Who will receive Congressman Wilson? The two deputy secretaries-general, Hadrow and Tim Brand, are helpless. They don't want this matter to happen to them.
"How about I come to receive Congressman Wilson?" Alan Wilson looked at the two deputy secretaries-general for a moment and secretly sighed that there was such a good thing. The two deputy secretaries-general only saw the unfavorable conditions, but did not think of the risks.
coexisting with opportunities.
But except for Alan Wilson, who knew that Harold Wilson, who was about to arrive in the British-occupied area, would be the future prime minister? Only Alan Wilson could see the opportunities, and all others saw were risks.
"Alan, you have to be careful." Seeing that the hot potato was taken over, Tim Brand breathed a sigh of relief, but also hoped that Alan Wilson would not make any mistakes.
"I will try my best." Alan Wilson originally wanted to say "try my best", but when he thought about the civil servant's rhetoric, "trying his best" might not be enough, he changed his wording temporarily.
