At least in 1945, when Berlin had just been captured for a month and the world war was not yet over, the four-nation occupation forces and four-nation occupation agencies in Berlin could still be united.
Of course, the soldiers did not know that they were facing long-term competitors in the future. Even many middle- and high-level generals did not regard each other as enemies. At this time, it was not uncommon for soldiers from various countries in Berlin to visit each other and celebrate from time to time.
The Soviet soldiers played the accordion, which aroused the applause of the British soldiers. The Americans and the Soviets shared cigarettes and talked about when they could return home and live a peaceful life. It seemed that MI6 and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had begun to express their disapproval at each other.
Play dirty tricks on the other side's territory.
In the building of the British Foreign Office in Berlin, Alan Wilson had just finished writing a proposal. In short, it was that the United States was anti-intellectual, the Soviet Union was barbaric, and France was not worthy of being a victor. This document was used to plan the next war in Germany and even Europe.
publicity.
After experiencing the pleasure of punching the United States and kicking the Soviet Union, Allen Weir was very satisfied.
"At least we can't let those farmers in the countryside in the United States bring our European young women back to the country, right?" Seeing Mark looking at the document with a strange look on his face, Alan Wilson explained, "Otherwise, this would be the British Empire's attack on the country.
European civilization is irresponsible. In fact, how did Germany lose the war? If you ask any European now, everyone will know who made the greatest contribution."
It is now 1945, and Europeans still know that the Soviet Red Army is the decisive force in defeating Germany, and it is not the United States that saves the world in the 21st century.
"But the Americans are our British allies." Mark was a little uneasy. What did this mean?
"The United States is just a suspicious ally that cares about the colonies of our British Empire. It is more dangerous than the Soviet Union on colonial issues." Alan Wilson corrected with a cold face, "Of course, in terms of defending Europe, our interests are consistent with those of the Americans.
But this is only about European issues. I can't be wrong about colonial issues. I am a civil servant working in British India."
If it loses all its colonies, Britain will have no choice but to follow the Americans in the future. The simplest reason is that with a large population and a large land, it can achieve stable development if it has the military power to protect itself.
As far as the area and population of the British Isles are concerned, the population of the United States and the Soviet Union is three times that of the United Kingdom. The value produced by three people, the British want one person to close the gap. How is it possible?
Just like China can force Americans to jump into the sea as long as it has one-third of Americans' per capita. Of course, there will be counterexamples in later generations, and India is a negative example.
Because the population size is only one-third that of the United States, even if the United Kingdom recovers the same economic level as the United States, it will still be the result of being crushed by the United States. Therefore, Alan Wilson believes that it must retain a good foundation and the area must not be small.
British India cannot be counted on to focus on colonial management, but there are still candidates for the British Empire with its rich heritage.
Once the confrontation with the Soviet Union began, of course Alan Wilson hoped that the Americans would be at the front to confront the Soviets, and the United Kingdom would provide support on the second line of defense. Otherwise, he would jump up and down to guide Mikhailovich and guide the other party to Patton's Bavaria.
What?
This is actually something that Prime Minister Churchill dreamed of. Taking the opportunity to consume the strength of the Americans is not a new tactic. Its history can be traced back to the end of World War I. Britain and France lobbied the United States, hoping to establish an American expeditionary force.
army to attack Soviet Russia, which had fallen into the hands of the Bolsheviks.
He didn't do it at the beginning, but now Churchill just wants to do it again to buy time for the British Empire to adjust.
"Guys, the 7th Armored Division is participating in the military parade, and many Allied generals will be present." Aifor came in and clapped his hands to attract attention. "As for the news from the Soviets, it was June 20th.
A military parade will be held on the 4th. On that day, the Red Square in Moscow and Berlin will host the parade at the same time. The commander-in-chief on the Berlin side is Marshal Zhukov."
Alan Wilson, who was cross-legged, frowned. Moscow and Berlin held military parades at the same time on June 24th? This must be different from history. Zhukov was the commander-in-chief in Berlin, so who was the commander-in-chief in Moscow? Stalin
Me?
He is not a liaison officer who has to dig into the details. If there is a slight change in the previous historical memory, it will be very uncomfortable. It is like the uncanny valley effect. The more similar the robot is to humans, because it is too similar.
On the contrary, it makes people feel scared.
"After the military parade in Moscow and the joint military parade, the heads of state will have an important meeting to decide on post-war order issues." Aiful glanced at his colleagues, "Everyone must strictly abide by the confidentiality regulations, no problem.
Bar."
"No problem!" Everyone responded confidently.
The 7th Armored Division, which was undergoing the military parade, has arrived in Berlin. Diplomats such as Alan Wilson in Berlin also came out to greet the officers and soldiers participating in the military parade. As for Foreign Secretary Robert Anthony Eden, he also arrived in London.
The Foreign Secretary was undoubtedly the most important position in Britain during the war, after the Prime Minister. Although the date for the Potsdam Conference had been set, it was appropriate for the Foreign Secretary to come first to organize it.
"We will discuss the post-war order in Europe with the United States and the Soviet Union on June 28." Foreign Secretary Robert Eden revealed the specific date of the meeting.
Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that once the election date approaches, everything now can be related to the election. Who knows that this is the political environment of a parliamentary country?
On the morning of June 17, the first military parade after order was restored in Berlin began. The protagonist of the military parade was the British 7th Armored Division, known as the "Desert Rat". On the day of the military parade, a large number of British tanks
and tanks roared past the spacious streets of Berlin, attracting many Berlin citizens to stop and watch.
The commander-in-chief of the British military parade was Marshal Montgomery, Marshal of the Soviet Union Marshal Zhukov, and American five-star general Eisenhower also attended and observed the parade with Marshal Montgomery.
"Don't General Patton like this kind of occasion very much? It's really unexpected that he didn't come." Marshal Zhukov looked at the British military parade and asked Eisenhower.
"Maybe he would prefer to participate in a larger joint military parade." General Eisenhower changed the subject with a smile, "Moscow and Berlin started military parades at the same time, which is surprising."
