The news of Hitler's suicide immediately appeared in major newspapers in London. Almost everyone, men, women and children in the streets had a newspaper. The news of the death of the German head of state who once provoked the world war in the hearts of the British seemed to mark the loss of many people in this war.
The world war that cost tens of millions of lives has come to an end.
The dawn of peace has appeared, and many people have breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that their families who are still at war will return safely.
As for how many German troops there are in Germany who do not believe that Hitler is dead and are still fighting for the great leader to the last moment, that is not something that the British should care about.
"The time has not deviated too much, and the general direction of history has not been affected." After looking at the calendar, Alan Wilson locked the door and prepared to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The schedule for Europe has been set.
On the streets of London, many pedestrians holding this newspaper were cheering and looking forward to the return of their families.
"Are you going to Whitehall? The war is over and our families will be back soon." I don't know if it's a common problem all over the world. Drivers are very talkative, such as the taxi driver who pulled Alan Wilson.
.
"Most people should come back and live a peaceful life. Although the war in the Far East is not over yet. But there they mainly rely on the expeditionary force and the Indian Army to regain the lost territory. I believe there will be good news in a few months.
"It's coming." Alan Wilson replied politely, looking at the cheerful crowd outside.
What's there to be happy about? Waiting happily for your husband to come back, and then happily accepting to go to war for two years, and a big fat boy has been born? Only God knows how many soldiers who went to war will choose to divorce when they return.
After recent activities, he was already familiar with the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs. The final written instructions were just routine. The reception staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not use any great reason to express the urgency and importance of going to Europe.
No one needs to explain these truths. Alan Wilson understands them better than anyone else. He is even more attentive than other colleagues. He returned to London and received the salary of Hyderabad Commissioner from Ali Khan. It is not easy to get money in vain.
Because the situation in Germany is not yet completely calm, before the necessary restoration of order, the first stop for diplomats like Alan Wilson who represent the United Kingdom to establish order in the British-occupied areas is not any city in Germany, but the French capital Paris.
Judging from the divisions of the Yalta Conference, the British Empire was relatively on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union with its 30 million square kilometers of colonies. The British-occupied area consisted of northwest Germany including the Ruhr area, Schleswig-Holland
It consists of the state of Stein and southern Austria, including important cities such as Bonn, Hamburg, Cologne, and Kiel.
The Ruhr area is an industrial area in Germany, Bonn was later the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Hamburg and Kiel were important ports. A large part of the essence of German industry was in the British-occupied area.
It must be admitted that there are always certain benefits to being born in a powerful country. When you arrive at Alan Wilson in the British-occupied area, you can search for what you want in the German elite industrial zone.
The matter was not urgent. Ali Khan's London butler also came to the port to see him off, waiting for the ship to leave. Before boarding the ship, Alan Wilson ordered, "Alim, I will contact you when I arrive in Paris to guide you on what you need."
Things are shipped here, and if the food shipped from British India arrives, you can go to Burgess. He used to work for the BBC. To report on the Maharaja's goodwill towards the current devastated Europe, the BBC is the best place."
At this time, Alan Wilson doesn't mind borrowing the connections of the Cambridge Five members to make money, don't shiver.
After a casual chat, Alan Wilson was informed that the ship was about to weigh anchor, and he said goodbye to Ali Khan's London butler.
As the ship set sail for the other side of the English Channel, complaints started immediately. Many members who came to take office complained why planes were sent to send them there. Could they still be shot down in France now?
"Perhaps the Foreign Secretary wants us to see the real situation in France now, so that we can cherish peace more and show enthusiasm for our work?" Alan Wilson whistled, and he knew without thinking that the situation in France was estimated to be
It's just a little better than Germany where the war hasn't ended yet, but probably not much better.
"Oh, Allen, maybe what you said makes sense." Upon hearing this, a fellow foreign representative, Eiffel, nodded with deep approval and said exaggeratedly, "As we all know, the French have always been the embodiment of bravery."
"Of course, I believe they will not surrender a second time." Another foreign representative also joined in. It seems that the topic of France always excites the British.
"Perhaps the French will say that precisely because they surrendered to the Germans, they did not suffer much losses in the war. Why resist if surrendering can reduce losses?"
"What you said seems very reasonable. Otherwise, the French are smart."
Everyone was talking to each other, the air was full of joy, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time. Alan Wilson couldn't help but burst into laughter. Did he enter the stage of today's humiliation of the law so quickly?
How can you smear the innocence of the French out of thin air? Alan Wilson thought so and joined the discussion happily. He must admit that this is a good way to kill time. As soon as the French were mentioned, everyone immediately felt less sleepy.
Arrange flights and let them do, little things, little things!
Crossing the sea and heading to Paris by land at this time was far from an easy journey. After landing, everyone hoped to reach Paris directly by rail, but they had no choice but to give up this idea.
Because many railways had not yet been restored to traffic, they had to stop after traveling for a while. So everyone quickly got help from the British army in the northern port, so that the march to the post was not turned into a forced march in cold and hunger.
Looking around, there are very few people, and the traces of the war can still be seen. Just after leaving the port, you can see the fortress set up by the German army. Although the French people are not as frightened as before, they are also in a hurry, which shows that the current situation in France may be
Not good either.
The situation in France may be better than that in Germany, but there should not be a famine. You must know that France is a major agricultural country in Europe and will have a place in the world's agricultural hegemony in later generations. Filling its stomach should not be a problem.
Now the people who are facing the situation of not having enough to eat are the Germans! After a lot of walking and walking, when we arrived in Paris, this impressive journey to the post came to an end.
