To be precise, it was two, but of course Alan Wilson couldn't admit it, and confessed categorically, "Of course I can't do this. My hands are clean, my conscience is clear, and I believe that I have the good ethics of an imperial civil servant."
"Oh?" Tim Brand and Harold, the two deputy secretaries-general, nodded meaningfully, their eyes full of "I believe it."
Then the matter is simple. This is originally a problem of the military. In principle, it will not tarnish the glorious and majestic image of the imperial civil servants. Of course, the military regulations of the Military Commission exist, and the objective facts of the British-occupied areas also exist.
Whatever the final outcome of this matter will be, there is a reason for it. "Of course we cannot deny the objective facts that exist under the current special conditions, but the military regulations also have certain reasons. But since the matter involved
The soldier has proposed to retire and also wants to marry a German girl. In principle, there may be many different results."
"And our concern is whether this will cause Germans to hate the British occupying forces and be detrimental to Germany's bright future back on track. This may require detailed discussions to achieve results."
"Of course, in principle, since things happen, we should also accept the possible results calmly. After all, whether they are soldiers or German girls, they are all young people. When dealing with young people, the British Empire, which has a tolerant spirit, should adopt an inclusive attitude.
, handle similar issues carefully and prudently.”
"So? What do the two deputy secretaries-general mean?" After listening to the civil servants' talk for a long time, Alan Wilson reached out and scratched his scalp and asked without changing his original intention.
"We'll wait and see what happens. It depends on the current thoughts of the soldiers in the army." Harold said reservedly, "If holding weddings has a positive impact on the military, I believe it will be very natural to cancel the rule against intermarriage with Germans."
"As mentioned before, it is almost universal for soldiers to establish intimate relationships with German women. However, we still need to evaluate the results of formal marriage." Tim Brand said some clichés, which fully demonstrated what he meant.
The state of saying everything and saying nothing at the same time.
"Of course, we don't have to interfere with the wedding. But if the Germans particularly welcome this event, we can't interfere either." Harold added on the side, "The fact will appear by default."
This means that the Trade Commission can only assist in this matter, and will only take action after receiving sufficient public feedback. This is to maintain the relationship between tobacco factories and British Indian civil servants for the sake of Alan Wilson.
, otherwise neither of them would have said that at all.
"Does that mean the Germans are eager to bless the emergence of cross-border weddings?" Alan Wilson finally understood what the two people meant. It was too tiring to talk like this, and he could obviously propose a very simple solution.
This does not seem to be a difficult task, as long as the Bonn occupation forces provide a certain degree of authorization, or not.
By acknowledging the emergence of this great transnational love that broke through the world, Alan Wilson was able to find enough supporters, such as free cigarettes at the wedding.
Follow-up reports from the media are also necessary. For example, in order to make a promise to a German girl, British soldiers would rather retire than give their beloved woman a future. Maybe the UK will lose a general in the future...
No matter how ruthless soft articles are written, there will always be fools who will shed tears. With the number of women in Germany, there may be quite a few fools.
Alan Wilson has never considered solving the problem of the skewed male-to-female ratio in Germany to be a wrong thing. These German women cannot be allowed to die alone. Although it cannot be said that it is all, it can be solved as much as possible.
Before heading to Brussels, Alan Wilson decided to treat this cross-border wedding as an important event, breaking through the pedantic military regulations and secularity, and opening the door to facilitate cross-border marriages.
He believed that British men would not object. After all, in terms of supply and demand, the options for choice have become wider. Who would object? Would Alan Wilson object to the Isabella sisters relying on themselves at the same time? Absolutely not, on the contrary, here
Happy to be happy!
"My dear, what do you think about the intermarriage between Britain and Germany?" After leaving the Trade Committee, Alan Wilson asked Pokina during the meal.
I stood and watched! I am not German! Although I thought so in my heart, Isabella Bokina said shyly, "Alan, do you want to marry me? I'm not ready yet."
The attack and defense were in a different position in an instant, and he coughed with embarrassment. Alan Wilson changed the topic, but emphasized the current difficulties and the restrictions of the general environment that blocked the love between Britain and Germany.
Naturally, the limitations of this general environment also restricted Ellen Wilson and her two sisters from entering the marriage hall.
If she hadn't seen Alan Wilson's hand reaching out to Anna, Isabella Pokina would have given him a few words, and said hurriedly, "You are a more serious person, aren't you talking about business now? Anna is afraid in her heart
You can't see it."
I didn't! Anna complained in her heart, but it was hard to express it because of Isabella Bokina's lustful power.
"I'm also talking about business." With an embarrassed look, Alan Wilson pulled back his hand and whispered, "Keep your voice down so your mother doesn't hear it. We also need to restrain ourselves, right?"
Since moving to Bonn, Mia has lived in another house, vacating this house as a residence for her two daughters. Of course, the cheaper one is Alan Wilson, who was at the scene of the crime for a long time and refused to leave.
"I can organize women to attend the wedding and provide free cigarettes at the wedding venue." Isabella Pokina regained her indifferent expression and said, "That should be enough. Hey, I feel like I am a
Virtue."
"No, no." Alan Wilson finally showed some responsibility as a man, hugging the woman into his arms, and the pressure from his chest almost made him groan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although he knew in his heart that this was an act of traitor, how could he say it? The future Federal Republic of Germany would still be a human shield to resist the pressure of the Soviet Union. Saying it would be too harmful to the allies.
feelings between.
In the eyes of many people, the British soldier and the German girl were very brave. At the same time, this marriage was considered a bridge of friendship between Britain and Germany. It broke the hostility and prejudice between European countries. The wedding was fueled by some people and the general social environment.
Due to common factors, it officially started in September when the weather turned cooler.
The wedding took place at Bonn Cathedral, a Roman Catholic church in Bonn.
Bonn Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Germany, built in the 11th century. Bonn Cathedral was once the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cologne, which is of great significance.
The church is ancient and sacred. In the small square behind the church, there are two statues of human heads. They are Cassius and Florentius, two Christian saints who were martyred here in the third century.
Bonn Cathedral was also bombed during the war. Due to the collapse of the German economy after the war, food became a problem for the Germans. The church had not held grand ceremonies and ceremonies for a long time.
Although Alan Wilson is British, he doesn't have a deep impression of Britain. He never attended a wedding ceremony when he was in the UK.
I went directly to the Far East, and later to British India. I don’t know if a church like Bonn Cathedral would be used as a wedding ceremony venue.
However, considering that Germany is now a defeated country, it seems that there is no need to consider other issues. Now everything in the British-occupied areas is decided by the Military Commission and the Trade Commission. What’s wrong with requisitioning a church for a wedding?
Although in a sense, this wedding can be called simple. For example, the male protagonist is still wearing a British military uniform, and the German girl is not wearing a wedding dress, but is wearing ordinary clothes.
Alan Wilson made a judgment based on appearance. It can be said that German girls are in an upper-middle position among German women in terms of appearance. As for the British soldiers? They are very incomparable to everyone. They are just ordinary goods.
Compared with the simplicity of the hero and heroine, Bonn Cathedral is very lively. The church is full of seats, and even the streets outside the church are full of men and women who come to congratulate them.
This lively scene was all recorded by the British media reporters who came to prepare a big news with great interest. After receiving the money, these reporters from the British-occupied areas would naturally sing the praises of the touching love story in subsequent reports.
Of course, there may be some private information included in the report. For example, the war also brought great suffering to Germany as the sponsoring country, resulting in the imbalance of the ratio of men to women in Germany. Many German girls of the right age, fair skin and beauty could not find a way to live in life.
Partner facts.
Alan Wilson didn't know what the consequences would be if this painful fact were known to British men. He might just slap his head and come to Germany to help the poor. Man, what can't you do for something like that in your crotch?
Alan Wilson even packed in several people to give speeches at the wedding, hoping that this marriage would become the starting point for reconciliation between Britain and Germany. Everyone should praise the determination of the British soldiers to safeguard their love.
At the same time, it also bluntly stated that there are indeed many occupation soldiers getting along with local women, and called on more soldiers to consider clearly whether they have the courage to take responsibility.
Although all this only attracted the attention of the German women at the wedding and did not enter the ears of the German men enjoying free cigarettes, saying it and not saying it are two different things.
The first public cross-border wedding in the British-occupied areas, at least on the scene, was absolutely spectacular. People inside and outside the cathedral were packed with people, and it seemed that everyone came to send their blessings to the newlyweds.
Cross-border weddings became a hotly discussed topic in the streets of Bonn, and then spread at an alarming rate in the British-occupied areas, and finally spread back to the British mainland.
