"Oh, Mr. Congressman, I am actually really looking forward to that day." Alan Wilson almost bowed his head and bowed, shouting to the current MP Harold Wilson and the future Prime Minister Harold Wilson, never forget each other whether you are rich or noble.
As a professional civil servant, Alan Wilson could not be biased by party, and he did not endorse the Labor Party. Although the current Prime Minister Attlee was indeed ready to abandon British India.
But looking at the current situation in the UK, if you don't give up, why should you resist the benign looks of the United States and the Soviet Union, mobilize one million soldiers, and go to India to fight non-stop right after World War II?
France was much more determined towards its colonies than Britain. When de Gaulle came to power, he held a referendum on the Algerian issue in France. If the war continued, he would implement comprehensive conscription. The country mobilized and fought bloody battles with Algeria to the end. In the end, France also withdrew from Algeria after the referendum.
It was already the 1960s when Harold Wilson came to power, and the situation in the British Empire had worsened even more obviously. More and more colonies were lost. With the population and resources of the British mainland, it was impossible to support a huge military force. A clever woman could not make a meal without rice.
This is the case.
At the Potsdam Conference, Labor Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin also said when handing over to the Conservative Party, "With regard to foreign policy, our obligations have not changed in the slightest. His Majesty's Government will never accept the following view,
The UK is no longer a big country, or we can no longer play the role of a big country. We still shoulder important historical missions."
Harold Wilson, who completed his survey of the British-occupied areas, returned to Hanover and took a military plane back to London.
Alan Wilson asked Alim to come over without stopping and asked about the tobacco production line and how much tobacco leaves were shipped on the ship to start production.
Regarding the current situation in Germany, Alan Wilson said something unpleasant. The Germans have no right to be picky. Smoke is enough, but even grass and leaves can deal with it. In this case, there is only a question of whether it is there or not, not whether it is good or not.
Good question.
"There are less than 3,000 tons of tobacco leaves! They are all grown by tobacco farmers in South India." Alim thought for a moment and gave the answer, "Maharaja Ali Khan is very caring about the needs of the commissioner. Subsequent acquisitions are still in progress.
, there are still cargo ships carrying tobacco leaves in the Indian Ocean."
"It's enough in a short time." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, it's enough in a short time. He didn't know what the demand for tobacco in Germany was, but he knew that when the People's Republic of China was just founded, the country's annual tobacco production was about
Only 70,000 tons.
Even if not everyone smokes, the population of China is there. The population of the British-occupied area is more than one-third of the Shikoku-occupied area, but it is definitely less than 30 million people, and most of them are women. As long as there are not too many people.
Gap, the profit of this transaction is simply incalculable.
"Go up the Rhine River and send the machine and tobacco leaves to Bonn. I'll go talk to Tim Brand and Hadrow." Alan Wilson's heart was pounding and he decided to take the benefits of tobacco employment.
Contribute to the future citizens of the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.
After all, London now regards Bonn as a model for the reconstruction and recovery of the British-occupied areas. Alan Wilson also has to make a negligible contribution for the sake of the British Empire.
Asking Alim to do the transshipment, Alan Wilson drove a civilian version of Mercedes-Benz directly to the headquarters of the British-occupied Trade Commission, and directly approached the two actual managers of the Trade Commission, Tim Brand and Harold,
After avoiding the others, I calmly got to the point.
"I transported a batch of machines and raw materials from British India to prepare for production in Germany. Lord Barron of British India was very helpful in this." Alan Wilson sat down calmly, calmly.
Open your mouth and narrate without being too busy.
"Then what?" Tim Brand sat in his seat and asked noncommittally.
"This is a tobacco production line, and there are more than two thousand tons of tobacco leaves." Alan Wilson said calmly.
"What?" the two deputy secretaries-general blurted out, standing up almost at the same time and staring at Alan Wilson.
Do the two deputy secretaries-general who are already in charge of the Trade Committee of the British-occupied areas know what is in short supply in Germany today?
The two of them knew very well that cigarettes nowadays are almost like gold, a hard currency that is rampant in the British-occupied areas and even in the whole of Germany. They can also be more confident that there are only varying degrees of difference in Europe.
With cigarettes, you have almost everything, oil paintings, cultural relics, gold and jewelry, all of this is not a problem. It is not an exaggerated imagination at all, but a fact before your eyes.
Now Alan Wilson said that a tobacco production line and tobacco leaves had arrived at the port. This news was like placing a high-explosive bomb in front of the two deputy secretaries-general, making their ears buzz and their heads for a moment.
They are all in a blank state.
"Alan!" Harold licked the corners of his dry mouth and just spoke, but Tim Brand reached out to stop his colleague and said with a smile, "I believe Sir Barron must have spent a lot of money on this matter.
It took a lot of hard work to make this transportation possible. Of course, as the liaison officer between British India and Europe, Alan, you must have put in a lot of hard work for this."
"Yes, Deputy Secretary-General." In an instant, the offensive and defensive positions were different, but Alan Wilson did not pursue the victory. He still maintained the courtesy and respect he had when he first came in. "It is mainly because of the hard work of my colleagues in British India, and I
I just happened to meet the occasion and made a small contribution."
"Actually, from the time we received Congressman Wilson, Harold and I could see at a glance that you are a person who is passionate about his work." Tim Brand said slowly, "I have no intention of criticizing your work.
What kind of interference is there? From the time we were together at the Trade Commission to now, Harold and I have not given instructions on your work. Now that I think about it, our relationship should be considered a happy cooperation."
"I am very grateful for the cooperation with the two deputy secretaries-general. I have also learned a lot from the two deputy secretaries-general." Alan Wilson followed the words of the two deputy secretaries-general and agreed.
"That's good." Tim Brand paused slightly and said, "Well, Alan, tell the truth, what kind of help do you want us to provide, or to promote the re-employment of German people in the British-occupied areas?
, what unique views do you have."
"The sudden introduction of tobacco into the market may cause price fluctuations in the British-occupied areas, which may cause a certain degree of chaos." Harold added aside.
"Moreover, the current British-occupied areas are severely damaged, and the roads and railways have not been fully restored. Transportation is also a difficulty." Tim Brand then added in harmony.
All in all, the two deputy secretaries-general believe that the current British-occupied Zone Trade Committee can provide a certain degree of help in this matter, but it is not excessive.
"Dear Deputy Secretary-General, I am one of ours." Alan Wilson emphasized the word "we" very strongly and expressed his position. This response made Tim Brand and Harold's eyes light up.
Slowly spit out one word, "Very good."
"Restoring the market and ensuring employment in the British-occupied areas is a matter for the entire British-occupied Trade Committee." Alan Wilson changed the subject when he said this, "Of course, we cannot deny that Sir Barron and the British Empire thousands of miles away
The Indian civil servants have been of great help in this matter."
"Of course we can't deny it," Tim Brand said simply. Now he has determined in his heart that Alan Wilson is communicating with him on behalf of the civil service group in British India.
This matter involves civil servant groups in two places and their unity under the larger civil servant collective.
"In fact, we have worked hard and left our homeland to work in other countries. It is not excessive to have some extra income. It is just two deputy secretaries-general. After all, we are public officials of the British Empire. We cannot, at least on the surface, not be in contact with tobacco factories.
If relevant, I have a suggestion: We find a German to be the owner of this tobacco factory and provide convenient support at the Trade Commission level."
Now that he had expressed his desire to cooperate, Alan Wilson began to express his thoughts. Tim Brand and Hadrow couldn't help but nod, although the benefits were enough for them not to be the deputy secretary-general.
.But wouldn’t it be better if there was a way to get the best of both worlds?
In the meeting room of the British-occupied Trade Committee, three people were whispering. Alan Wilson felt like Inspector Lei Luo of the 500 million, calculating the groups that should get the share of the profits one by one, and standardizing the fees.
The civil servant in British India was actually Alan Wilson himself. Because of the raw materials provided and the nominal number of people, it was natural that he should get the largest share.
The British-occupied Zone Trade Committee should of course have its own share, and the attitude of the British-occupied zone, especially the Bonn garrison, should also be taken into consideration.
Colonel Malcolm was the commander of the Bonn garrison, and his share was definitely indispensable. In the end, Alan Wilson worked hard to handle this matter, and he could not lose his share.
The problem of profit distribution. Uneven distribution of spoils has led to fights since ancient times. So what method should be used for profit distribution? First of all, the profit distribution among the brothers, in fact, there is a five-level and three-level system in the MLM organization.
The pyramid-shaped benefit distribution model is supplemented by distribution ratios. Some are a combination of seniority and ability. It will neither frustrate the elderly nor deny opportunities to newcomers.
Corruption is not such a simple matter. Alan Wilson did not act arbitrarily, but consulted with the two deputy secretaries-general to determine the distribution of benefits, which could not be changed no matter what happened in the future.
After completing the charging plan, Alan Wilson said that he had found the owner responsible for the operation of the tobacco factory.
"Is that the woman from the Bonn Women's Work Bureau?" When the two deputy secretaries-general heard this, they were both smart people. Of course they could guess that Isabella Bokina was not as innocent as she seemed.
