"Oh?" Alan Wilson took the telegram and scanned the contents, already having an idea in his mind.
The rebellious imperialist heart of the United States finally broke through its embryonic stage and began to thrive two years after the end of the world war.
As early as half a year ago, the Marshall Plan had been formally proposed. If you include the early investment in Greece and Turkey, it would have been earlier. However, it has no obvious effect. After all, war is a gold-swallowing behemoth. You can fight while giving money.
Even if the effect is not equal to zero, it will not change the situation in the Near East.
Alan Wilson, who has just secured a big contract, seems to be staying in Europe for another month, and his time is still quite tight.
Although he has long been accustomed to living on the go, the end of this year seems to be particularly busy.
It's not just a work issue, Crown Prince Elizabeth is about to get married, which must have nothing to do with Alan Wilson.
But after some hard work, it became relevant. General Mountbatten, as an important member of the royal family, must participate, and Pamela Mountbatten will naturally be no exception.
Alan Wilson, who had just signed an export contract, returned to Bonn to meet with colleagues from the British-occupied Trade Commission.
Although they had not seen each other for two years, Alan Wilson had also been promoted and was on an equal footing with the two deputy secretaries-general of the Trade Commission. However, they worked together to plan the post-war reconstruction of Germany, which made them very familiar with each other, and there was no grudge between them when they met.
"I heard that there were strikes in France and Denmark. It's better in Germany!" Harold heard Alan Wilson ask and gave a pretty good answer, "But our British-occupied area is fine. A large number of prisoners of war have been re-instated."
Entering society, except for some important military-industrial enterprises that are still under clampdown, most enterprises have restarted operations and have not yet fully returned to their pre-war conditions, but they have already reached 83% of their pre-war conditions."
"That's really good." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there are no problems in Germany, the problem is controllable.
Among the remaining big countries in Europe, Germany is the most important line of defense against the Soviet Union. As for the strike in France, it has been like this since ancient times, and it is not convenient for Alan Wilson to intervene.
The most advantageous thing at present is that, except for agriculture, all indicators in the UK have returned to pre-war levels.
In the current Europe, it can be said that it stands out from the crowd, which is enough to make people exclaim that the old imperialism is invincible. The total import and export volume depends on how to calculate it. Excluding the figures of British India, naturally it has not recovered to the pre-war level.
s level.
But aren't both sides flying together? One side is squeezing the Germans to reduce costs and promote the imperial preferential system, while the other side is exploring potential in British India. The medicine is still strong enough, and the local recovery rate is far faster than the same period in history.
Of course, the rationing system has not officially ended yet. There is nothing we can do about it. The rationing system mainly involves the issue of eating.
But Alan Wilson believed that the official end of the domestic rationing system must be much earlier than the historical 1954.
"There is no doubt that if the United States launches large-scale economic aid, London will certainly hope that we will occupy the largest share." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment and said, "We should also occupy the largest share. Who would we give it to?
For the French? For the Italians? The French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party are all there, but for Germany, they won’t change their attitude so quickly, right?”
After leaving the Trade Commission's headquarters in Bonn, Alan Wilson returned to the apartment where he had previously worked and lived in Europe, and then secretly went to the Hellmann family's residence.
Although the busy days every day are quite painful, it is your choice. No matter how hard it is, you must grit your teeth and persevere.
The preliminary meeting related to the Marshall Plan was in December. At this time, the telegram asked him to go to Brussels first. As an official who had just returned from the colonies, he still had advanced experience to share.
The three bodies were entangled together, and Alan Wilson, who was enjoying the blessing of being together, was satisfied, "I really want to spend more time with you."
"Where have you been? You just came back and are leaving now?" Bokina's arms were like lotus roots, and she was casting a death coil on Alan Wilson, with a posture that would not end without giving me an explanation.
"Anyway, the talks are over. It doesn't matter if I tell you. I went to Berlin to have a negotiation with the Soviets before." Alan Wilson thought that everything was done and it was a foregone conclusion. Naturally, there was nothing to keep secret.
He talked about the sale of Rolls-Royce engines and the signing of rubber and tin ore import and export contracts.
"Are you negotiating with the Soviets?" With Pokina's level, it was impossible to know about such a thing, and she only realized it later.
"Two gold bars, please tell me which one is noble and which one is despicable?" Alan Wilson smiled slightly, kissed Bokina's cheek, and then felt the small hand from behind touching her ribs.
He twisted it gently, then turned around and gave Anna the same treatment.
This kind of thing depends on how it is said. Objective laws cannot be destroyed because of some principles. What must be admitted is that as a defeated country, Italy also suffered the trauma of the war.
As we all know, Italy has a small territory, lack of resources, and a weak industrial base. It is the weakest link among the imperialist powers. How well the Soviets evaluated it, pauper imperialism.
However, Italy, which has no sense of existence and has been criticized by people, entered a golden period of rapid development after World War II and created an "economic miracle" that attracted the attention of the world in a short period of time.
If you carefully observe when Italy was all-powerful during the Cold War, you can clearly sort out the context. When the Italian Communist Party was at its strongest, it was when Italy was swallowing up mountains and rivers.
The greater the momentum of the Italian Communist Party, the more Italy can have both sides. Italy's economy will depend on the momentum of the Italian Communist Party. The stronger the Italian Communist Party's momentum, the more it can allow Italy to enter markets that other European countries cannot enter and are controlled by the Soviet Union.

, Italy's development has officially come to a standstill.
This kind of thing, in the final analysis is still the same sentence, is it made in Italy? Isn't it possible for us in Great Britain to do it?
At present, the British Empire still has a vast number of colonies to support it. Doesn’t it have a better foundation for both sides than Italy?
At this time, a big deal had just been negotiated, and it was the proud Alan Wilson who provoked a war between Britain and Germany in Bonn, the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, to lay the foundation for going to Brussels.
It was still early, and Alan Wilson could use this time to do some other things, which he did not hide from the Dragoon sisters.
"Are you going to review the released prisoners?" Early the next morning, the two sisters were getting dressed. Bokina's movements were slightly stagnant, showing the excellent hardware conditions in front of Alan Wilson.
"Um, ah, yes!" After swallowing the smear with difficulty, Alan Wilson felt a little dizzy and seemed to have been shaken. "Go and find some talents. I have already reported to London to conduct a review on the release of war criminals."
A thorough review. You also know that our treatment of prisoners captured by Germany is far less strict than that of the Soviet Union."
All those who should have been shot at the Nuremberg Trials have been executed, but there are only a few war criminals, and the rest are tens of thousands of prisoners from various institutions and enterprises of the Third Reich.
Less than one-fifth of the prisoners tried by the Soviet Union were acquitted, while the probability of acquittal for war criminals in the Anglo-American and French-occupied areas was more than 50%. France did not reach this ratio, but it was far better than the Soviet Union.
light.
Conducting an audit can show that the British Empire is serious about liquidating Germany. The most important thing is to recruit talents. Pamela Mountbatten can certainly poach people locally, but how high is the cost? Germany has more costs.
Don't people with low talents have to live a careful life?
"I'm just a little surprised. You just finished negotiating business with the Soviets." Pokina said, suppressing her surprise.
"There is no contradiction, everything is profit-oriented. There are no fixed moral standards." Alan Wilson stood up with a smile, and slapped Bokina and Anna on the buttocks, accompanied by a crisp sound and the coquettishness of the dragoon sisters.
Under the guise of never sparing any bad guy and never unjustly accusing a good guy, Alan Wilson in Bonn officially conducted a review of small-time war criminals who have been released or are about to be released.
At the same time, he also took over the right to investigate the remaining convicted war criminals who have not yet been released. The leaders of the civil servants in the British-occupied areas are nothing more than the two deputy secretaries-general of the Trade Commission, whom he knows, and are important members of the Hellman family tobacco factory.
shareholder.
The British occupation area is not a problem, he can do whatever he wants. In the telegram to London, Alan Wilson just said that there are still a few days before the meeting in Brussels, and he always has to find something to do, anyway, he is free.
idle.
"In fact, it was mentioned in Barron's telegram that Allen values power very much." Norman Brooke saw the telegram and said to Edward Bridges, "It seems like he is not doing anything every day.
This thing, just like his position, made Barron very troubled."
"Actually, some things are meaningless whether they are done or not." Edward Bridges shook his head slightly and said, "Of course this is not a big problem. Although he is very powerful in his position, he knows how to share the gains and is not greedy.
people."
"Perhaps the greed is different." Norman Brook chuckled and said, "Well, after all, the European Community meeting in Brussels is still some time away, and the meeting in Paris with the United States will be held next month. He wants to find someone
It doesn't matter if he does something, let him do it, it probably doesn't have any big purpose."
"It's nothing but money," Edward Bridges added softly.
