Not only Washington, but also London must make corresponding preparations for this. The establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany can be regarded as a landmark event in the separation of the Allies in World War II.
It's even more serious than at the same time in history because everything happened at the same time.
Historically, when the Federal Republic of Germany was founded, at least the Soviet Union did not have nuclear weapons. Now not only the Soviet Union but also the United Kingdom have nuclear weapons.
After having nuclear weapons, it may not be so easy to force the Soviet Union to swallow its anger during confrontation.
In fact, after the Soviet Union acquired nuclear weapons, the coercive effect of the United States began to be greatly reduced after the war.
Alan Wilson, who was staying in London under the pretext of getting married soon, was also waiting to see other actions besides public criticism. The most important thing was that he was afraid that the Berlin crisis would arise and he would not know how it would end.
In the first Berlin Crisis in history, the Soviet Union did not have nuclear weapons. In the second and third times, although the Soviet Union had completely recovered from the war and had nuclear weapons, Khrushchev was in power, and Khrushchev was committed to détente with the West.
Peaceful competition.
Now, at least Stalin is in power in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union also has nuclear weapons, and the United States has not yet been able to escape from North Korea. These are all unfavorable factors.
Even if it is blackmail, Stalin's blackmail and Khrushchev's blackmail are not the same thing. This is very troublesome.
"I feel that this time we have contributed to the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, and there may be a big trouble waiting for us ahead." In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Alan Wilson sighed to Sir Ismay, feeling that the matter would be difficult to end.
Alan Wilson could also feel that the Soviet Union was gradually getting rid of the trauma of World War II, and Europe was under increasing pressure. The thinking of the United States in 1945 and the United States in 1951 were completely different.
The same is true for Alan Wilson. His thoughts were different from those of 1945. At that time, he was only thinking about Wang Laoji and Jiaduobao killing the British and Qizheng. So he kept trying to take off the Soviet Union's underpants and show that the Soviet Union
National strength cannot be restored in a short time.
But now the situation is different. After all, the Soviet Union has its territory and population. Even if it recovers a little, the pressure it brings will be so direct.
To be honest, he regretted betraying Poland to the Soviet representatives at the Potsdam Conference.
"Alan, you have always been very confident about the Soviet Union. It's surprising that you can say that today." Sir Ismay was really surprised. This promising civil servant in front of him always appeared to despise the Soviet Union.
"As time goes by, ideas naturally change." Alan Wilson sighed, "In about five more years, at most ten years, the Soviet Union's population imbalance will probably be over, and the minors of 1945 will enter state jobs.
Start working. After all, the Soviet Union is a country with a population three times greater than that of the United Kingdom. We can't say that the Soviets can do nothing but imitate, right? This kind of statement is fine for internal propaganda, but it would be stupid for us to believe it."
Of course Britain should stand with the United States, and Alan Wilson thought so too. He just didn't want Britain to be tied to the United States. It's okay to stand together, but it can't appear as a vassal.
This is just like Churchill's three-ring diplomacy in history and Prime Minister Attlee's current three-ring diplomacy are fundamentally different.
The most important link in Churchill's three-ring diplomacy is the United States. Since its inception, it has always relied on the United States to look down on the Commonwealth and Europe. As a result, it has increasingly moved towards becoming a vassal of the United States.
Prime Minister Attlee's three-ring diplomacy actually has nothing to do with the United States. It mainly relies on the two wings of the Commonwealth and the European Community to fly together. The demand for the United States is limited to facing the Soviet Union together, which is completely different.
What appeared to be a three-ring diplomacy was actually two wings flying together, and it evolved into today's model of Britain and France working together to win over European countries.
It will take time to prove whether this is good, but Alan Wilson believes that it is much better than being locked out of the European Community by De Gaulle in history.
"Sir Ismay, now that Germany is established, we can predict one thing. Even the French still have doubts about Germany's armament, and the United States will implement it step by step in the next few years." Alan Wilson took the initiative to suggest.
, "Then should we make preparations early, such as carrying out some whitewashing work and downplaying Germany's crimes in World War II?"
"The word "whitewash" is used well. It seems that you have a certain idea. Say it directly. Then we will see the attitude of the cabinet secretary and the prime minister." Ismay nodded immediately. He also felt that Germany's image should be reversed.
.
This is inevitable. If Germany does a good job of self-reflection, it is better to say that it has a good father who is willing to help Germany repair its image. Otherwise, it will be useless to rely on the Germans themselves to apologize 365 times a year.
Germany's apology has a huge political factor in it. Because the Cold War began and the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, Britain and the United States urgently needed a cannon fodder that could unite in Europe to resist the Soviet ground forces. To this end, Germany had to be rearmed. However, they were afraid that public opinion would not accept it, so they made it.
A series of packaging work has been carried out, such as kneeling down to apologize, documentaries, textbooks, etc. The bigger factor is the need for an overall view.
Without the acquiescence of Britain and the United States, it would be impossible for Germany to repair its image even if it takes a hundred years. Just after the end of the Cold War, Germany took the lead in attacking Yugoslavia before the United States did. We know that the Germans have not changed at all, and any reflection is an illusion.
It is also a nuclear leak. Europe and the United States did everything possible to import Soviet black information to the people and discredit the Soviet Union's Chernobyl phenomenon. When they were in the same camp, Japan thought twice before doing so. It was a typical exaggeration to discredit the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union used
Countless people sacrificed their lives to minimize the nuclear impact and protect the European continent. But what about Japan? They drew mascots for the nuclear wastewater and posted it on the Internet, hoping to dilute the public's resentment.
"Why don't we take the initiative to discuss with the Americans a plan to launder Germany, but our MI6 must leave every link of laundering evidence in hand to prevent Germany from losing control one day." Alan Wilson said
My own idea is, "Keep the evidence of laundering from beginning to end in your hands. If Germany is not tamed one day in the future, we will make it public."
Ismay took a deep look at Alan Wilson. He was really shocked now. Why did it seem that this rising star who was favored by Whitehall was very good at this kind of thing?
Although he was shocked, Sir Ismay also thought this was a good suggestion, "You can do it this way. How could you come up with such a method?"
Naturally, it’s because Alan Wilson really did it, the ethnic cleansing of black people by the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia. He left evidence. He also left evidence for the attack on the prisoner of war camp in Malaya, all for the purpose of fabricating
Used as a check and balance in the hand.
Having done both of these things, in the face of some reasonable precautions against the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany, Alan Wilson naturally thought of the operation of the petition and held the handle in his hand to prevent the Soviet Union from kneeling down in the future.
Can be used to threaten Germany.
To be honest, he even wanted to send someone to follow Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe to take private videos, so that he could keep them in his hands to prevent Kennedy from harming Britain in the future.
But considering that Kennedy and Monroe may not be too close yet, I can only put this idea aside for now.
Whitewashing Germany naturally requires professionals. There is no department in the UK that is more suitable than MI6 to do this. Since it is an action against Germany, I hope MI6 will be more suitable.
In the early days of the establishment of MI6, the main target of intelligence collection was Germany. During this period, the British paid close attention to the mobilization of warships in major German ports, and placed the Ocean Fleet, the second most powerful fleet in the world, under close surveillance. It was unable to perform as it should.
function.
Therefore, MI6 was originally created for Germany, and it is most appropriate to handle this matter now.
Alan Wilson then conveyed the Foreign Office's ideas to Stuart Menzies, the head of MI6.
"Whitewash Germany?" Stuart Menzies simply suspected that he heard it wrong. He spent most of his life thinking hard about how to defeat the Germans. He never thought that one day he would do some work to help Germany.
"Yes, Sir, you heard that right." Alan Wilson looked at the head of MI6 and repeated his words.
Maybe Stuart Menzies did have experience in dealing with the Germans, but he might be quite mediocre in other aspects. For example, the person who regarded Philby as the successor of MI6 and believed that he had a promising future was none other than
The head of MI6 in front of me.
Burgess, Maclean and Philby are each Stuart Menzies' confidants. Among them, Stuart Menzies is also most optimistic about Philby, believing that he is the best candidate for the future leader of MI6.
.
"I never thought that one day I would be doing this kind of job. It seems that working in Germany in the past few decades was just a dream." Stewart Menzies looked disappointed.
"Each stage has its own ideas, and so does the country." Alan Wilson politely replied, "The current situation forces us to make relevant preparations. Even if we don't do this, the Americans will do it."
.Instead of doing this, why not we take the initiative, so that we can keep the handle in our hands, right? Dear Director."
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Stuart Menzies felt much better. For him who had been targeting Germany for most of his life, this kind of rhetoric was more acceptable.
"Okay, I will follow up on this idea with all my strength." Stuart Menzies nodded, "By the way, Alan, I heard Philby said you are getting married. Due to the light work, I will not be there. Since today
If we meet, I would like to express my best wishes in advance."
"Thank you, my dear Sir." Alan Wilson smiled and sighed in his heart that Stuart Menzies treated Philby really differently and treated Philby as his absolute confidant.
