"It seems that we are warming up for an important meeting." Alful said mysteriously, "A very important meeting."
A very important meeting? Alan Wilson suddenly remembered that the Potsdam meeting was brought forward?
Of course he knew where Potsdam was. It was in the southwestern suburbs of Greater Berlin. It was considered a very safe location. It was not far from Greater Berlin. The four-nation troops stationed in Greater Berlin could eliminate any possible danger factors.
Of course, many issues were discussed at the Potsdam Conference, but these were the main issues. Who has the final say on the post-war European order and how to divide the forces. Before the war, the Soviet Union and Germany divided Poland. Although Germany was defeated, the Soviet Union was not defeated.
.
It is almost an impossible task to expect the Soviet Union to give up occupied eastern Poland. The issues between Poland and the Soviet Union are very complicated. During the Russian Empire, Poland was part of the Russian Empire. The Soviet-Polish War, Poland’s murder of prisoners of war, etc.
The problems are not easy to solve.
The problem is that one of the parties involved in the Soviet-Polish War was Stalin himself, the current leader of the Soviet Union. The failure of the Soviet-Polish War caused an uproar within the Soviet Union and caused great embarrassment to Stalin. Other people involved were among the Soviet Red Army.
Father Trotsky, Tukhachevsky with the title of Red Napoleon.
Stalin and Trotsky had serious differences and mutual struggles in combat plans and deployments. Trotsky relied heavily on the western front in the war against Poland, while Stalin focused on the southwestern front: After the defeat, Trotsky believed that Stalin had
The delay in sending reinforcements to the main battlefield, the Western Front, by the Southwest Front Army under his command was a major reason for the Red Army's defeat.
Poland was the place where Stalin was forced to take the blame by Trotsky. Therefore, the Soviet Union would never spit out the eastern territories occupied by the Soviet Union, so in the end, the eastern territories of Germany were occupied by Poland as compensation.
With just a moment's thought, Alan Wilson knew that this conference to determine the post-war European order would definitely last for a long time. In fact, it was exactly the same.
Alan Wilson walked to the window, held the window sill with one hand and asked without leaving a trace, "From the looks of it, are we warming up for the upcoming summit meeting?"
"The London side is being vague, so that's probably it." Eiffle was busy with his own affairs and said unintentionally, "There will be a general election in July. Maybe Prime Minister Churchill wants to be more sure."
"This makes sense." Alan Wilson decisively accepted this explanation. Isn't this the famous defeat of Churchill? He attended the Potsdam Conference halfway, returned to London in despair, and changed to a new prime minister to continue attending the conference.
.
After connoting the position of some politicians in terms of civil servants, Alan Wilson did not think there was any problem. Historically, Churchill may not have considered this issue, but in this time and space, he suddenly considered it. This is also very normal. How could politicians not think about it?
Thinking about elections?
But he was also worried. He had just finished laying the mine. What if it exploded just in time for the Potsdam Conference? Alan Wilson, who was holding the window sill, had a gloomy expression. Things in Europe were too complicated. He was actually a little worried now.
Missing the happy life in British India.
Compared with the complicated situation in Europe, the political environment in British India is more relaxed. How to distribute and deal with it, the British Indian government still has an absolutely strong position. To say the least, it can make money with peace of mind.
Don’t worry about being discovered by others. The prosperity of the British Empire was indeed built on the colonies.
Now that things have come to this, Alan Wilson can't do nothing because of worries, and quickly joins the preparations, "I wonder who will preside over the military parade we hold independently?"
"It should be Field Marshal Montgomery. The Marshal has been too busy recently, constantly accepting awards and celebrations from various countries. I heard that the Soviet Union seems to have prepared the Victory Medal and is preparing to award Field Marshal Montgomery." Aiful took out one.
He handed the paper to Alan Wilson and said, "This is a notice from the Soviets."
"That is something worthy of celebration, and the marshal deserves such treatment from all parties." Alan Wilson smiled. Let's not mention whether Montgomery himself is a first-rate general, but at the military level, Montgomery is definitely outstanding.
After Germany surrendered, the huge group of soldiers and refugees became the main problem for the occupying forces. These people needed to be fed by the British army. Hunger and disease became Montgomery's urgent problems. In order to restore order as soon as possible, he formulated a management plan
, and be implemented in a timely manner.
In response to the behavior of British officers and soldiers occupying German houses or looting at will, Montgomery was determined to stop this trend.
All units under the command are required to move out of the city, and personnel are strictly controlled to go out. They are not allowed to enter or leave hotels, restaurants, etc.; individual or collective robbery is strictly prohibited. Anyone who violates this order, regardless of their rank, will be tried by a military court.
Montgomery's headquarters also had a staff group composed of German prisoners of war to assist the British occupying forces in managing German prisoners of war. The British attitude towards treating prisoners fairly was far superior to that of the Soviet Union and the United States.
Because Montgomery was a pure soldier, but unlike a war madman like Patton, he did not have much prejudice against the Soviet Union on the surface and had a good relationship with the Soviet military generals, so it was appropriate to host this military parade.
After meeting and greeting Eiffel, Alan Wilson returned to his temporary residence in Berlin.
After leaving Berlin for a while, Alan Wilson saw that order in Berlin had been restored well, and there were fewer ruins.
Returning to his temporary apartment with a cigarette in his mouth, Alan Wilson tidied up the room and muttered, "I'm going to find a servant. I'll have to live here at least for a while."
Although he wished he could return to British India immediately, he still had to solve the immediate problem.
Alan Wilson's return to Berlin was not a secret operation. Naturally, everyone who should know knew it.
"Let's see if we can hire a maid tomorrow!" Alan Wilson complained in front of his colleagues who came over to visit him in the evening. "I went to Vienna and almost forgot about things here."
"There is no shortage of labor in Berlin now. We are looking for servants wherever we live. You can choose at will." Several colleagues laughed and showed a look that everyone understood.
"Are you looking for servants to take care of your daily life, or to take care of you?" Alan Wilson winked and said, "Then I will go out for a walk tomorrow, just to see how the city of Berlin is recovering. You have to follow me. I am very familiar with this place.
But I’m not familiar with you, so don’t get lost and let the Soviet soldiers arrest me and accuse me of being an imperialist spy.”
Haha! There was a burst of laughter in the apartment, and Alan Wilson, who claimed that no one understands refugees better than me, laughed especially happily.
