Through Philby, who is in the UK but has a Soviet heart, he explains that he can't wait to go to Germany to rob talents. This is of course intentional. The United States, Britain and France also wanted to do this. It is very reasonable and reasonable.
As for why it was revealed to Philby, it was not because Alan Wilson suddenly became possessed by spirit and decided to devote his life to internationalism.
In the final analysis, it was for the sake of the British Empire. In the war for talent after Germany's defeat in history, there was no doubt that the United States was the biggest winner. With the Soviet system and the blood feud between the Soviet Union and Germany, German talents had no desire to serve the Soviet Union.
fear.
The Soviet Union did not react at first, and was taken advantage of by the United States, Britain and France. By the time it reacted, most of its talents had already fallen into the hands of the United States, Britain and France. The Soviet Union could only retreat and receive some documents and materials, study them slowly, and confiscate Germany
The factory makes up for its losses and the talent it grabs is better than nothing.
On the United States, Britain and France, the United States has the biggest advantage. After the war, the attractiveness of Britain and France can no longer compare with that of the United States.
Alan Wilson gave the Soviets a reminder through Philby because he knew history in his mind. Even Stalin in this era may not have understood the price the Soviet Union paid in this world war.
The Soviet Union chose not to publish a census after the war. It did not re-count the population until the 1950s and 1960s, and announced that 27 million people died in the war. This is the number of deaths, while China's 35 million people were casualties.
In terms of numbers, China’s population base is also larger.
The number of casualties in the Soviet Union is estimated to be 70 million. However, excluding the three Baltic countries that the Soviet Union annexed, there are only 160 million people. Excluding half of the female population, the Soviet Union has reached an extremely weak level.
At the end of the war, apart from a powerful Soviet Red Army, the Soviet Union could not be compared with the United States from any angle. Unfortunately, the Americans had just seen the throne of world hegemony and had not yet come out of their original thinking.
If Britain and France were in the same environment and position as the United States, and the old-fashioned imperialist thinking took hold, they might easily destroy the Soviet Union without hesitation. The Americans still had not changed, and they were too timid in this regard.
Leaking out the talent grab, Alan Wilson simply wanted to balance the strength of the Soviet Union and the United States. If it could slow down the rocket technology of the United States for a year and a half, it would be a success.
What is somewhat sad is that Alan Wilson could only do this through this method of capitalizing on the enemy. If important German talents fell into the hands of the British, it would be almost the same as falling into the hands of the Americans.
At this time, Britain will not fall out with the Americans because of a few military workers. Once the Americans put pressure on them, even if the British obtain talents in this field, there is a high probability that they will eventually fall into the hands of the Americans.
Britain may not be able to stay, but the Soviet Union can be its enemy. If it is strong enough, it would rather become an enemy of the United States.
As the liaison officer of the Indian Affairs Department to British India, and also temporarily seconded to work in the Foreign Office, Alan Wilson's working relationship remains with the Indian Affairs Department for the time being. Although it has only been a short time since he returned to London, he has already passed the necessary
I socialized and made a lot of friends in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs.
As we all know, few of the officials who returned from British India were poor. Alan Wilson was completely in line with the character. He was quickly welcomed by many Whitehall civil servants. He was already so successful at such a young age. Alan was not
Who goes to Europe?
Traveling back and forth among the civil servants of the two departments, this is how connections were built! During the war, having such a person who had just returned from a wealthy colony was naturally welcomed by many people.
Philby also arrived at the cocktail party, and brought someone with him, and introduced to Alan Wilson, "Alan, this is my friend. Let me introduce E. Francis Burgess, who was a BBC broadcaster. Now
He also works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! It’s a rare opportunity. Maybe he will be assigned to work abroad like you someday.
"Hello, I heard Philby talking about you." Burgess took the initiative to reach out his hand and shook it with Alan Wilson.
Alan Wilson also took the initiative to extend his hand, feeling a little disgusted, another one! Among the members of the Cambridge Five, if compared with family background, Philby is definitely the leader. Philby's father is an earl.
Although the levels of titles in Western Europe are similar, the gold content of different countries is also different. The great nobles in France are all dukes, and the noble marquis in Germany is very rare. The British side is more strict, and the earl is already considered to be the upper class and has a strong influence.
The presence.
Although the Mountbatten family was born into a prince, this prince's title is a German title, not a British title. Except for the Prince of Wales, the remaining princes in the UK are just titles, not real statuses. Earls are already rare.
.
When Burgess was a student in Cambridge, he became the most famous "Cambridge Apostolic Society" at the time and the most active member of the privileged "Pete Club" with many members of aristocratic children. With his innate communicative skills, he
Became the most attractive person in these student clubs.
"I just heard that there is a very interesting person who came back from India. Today is the first time I met him. Europe is still relatively dangerous now. You must be careful when going to Germany." Compared with Philby, Burgess seemed very confident.
He was familiar with many people, and he soon joined the crowd.
Philby sat at Alan Wilson's table and chatted with a glass of wine, "Do you have any idea about the upcoming departure?"
"I haven't received a specific explanation yet, so I have nothing to say." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "But from my personal point of view, the task is of course to dismantle the German war machine. Among the German military industries, I think the most
The important thing is the field of rockets and some novel weapons that appeared at the end of the war. These weapons may not be mature yet, but once the relevant information reaches us in the UK, they will become more mature."
"There is also the question of whether the weapons and equipment left over from the war should be destroyed and sealed or something like that." Alan Wilson stopped and said sheepishly, "These are all my personal thoughts, and we still need to wait for the department's planning."
"That's true. In fact, you don't need to be perfect. Being able to participate in it is already a rich resume." Philby said calmly with relief, "Maybe dealing with people from allied countries will cost you a lot.
energy."
Yeah! Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, but he didn’t know who the allies Philby was referring to.
