Compared with the urban area of Hamburg, the damage to the Bromfors Shipyard shipyard was not serious. Most of the cranes were intact, but were just out of service. This led Alan Wilson to have some conspiracy theories. Was it intentional?
Those who stayed and prepared to plunder technology knew that the British-occupied areas were the essence of German industry.
When Alan Wilson was thinking this, the navy officers around him were still taking photos and recording the huge production base of Blomfors Shipyard. There were at least thirty unfinished Shinshi submarines lying on the slipway on the production line.
, but it will never get off the production line.
Alan Wilson saw these steel behemoths, part of the black technology of the Third Reich in Tobuki's eyes, and now they can only become the backdrop for the victors.
"How to return the British-occupied areas to normal is an important factor in reviving the local economy as soon as possible." Alan Wilson said with emotion, but he was not sympathetic to Germany's fate.
Now the British Empire simply does not have time to slowly adjust according to tradition. The time between World War I and World War II is too close, and the external environment is that the United States and the Soviet Union are smiling tigers and life-or-death enemies. Now it must put efficiency first like the Soviet Union.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, there is not much time left for Britain.
"Alan, what do you think should be done with these submarines?" Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Scott asked with a thought in mind when he saw Alan Wilson in a daze.
"Immediately find the design drawings of these submarines and send them back to London for study. As for these unfinished submarines, it will cost money to dismantle them, and it will also cost money to continue to build them. It's just that one has no return, and the other can try to find a buyer."
Alan Wilson frowned and said, "If we dismantle the weapon system and try to sell it to some small countries without production capabilities in exchange for a capital input, it is the best idea. Of course, we have to absorb the technology before that."
"I am indeed very optimistic. In fact, if we can really sell these semi-finished products, there will be many benefits. It can solve part of the local unemployment problem, and we can also make a fortune and ease the domestic economic pressure. But who should we sell to?" Si
Lieutenant Colonel Kurt smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Is it sold to the Indians?"
"Yeah!" Alan Wilson nodded in approval, saying that he was not kidding. As long as the Indian states can afford it, there is nothing they can't sell. It is better than giving British warships to Indians after the independence of British India.
It would be better to give the German ships, at least once they are used up, they will be scrapped and cannot be repaired.
"Okay, let's put these unfinished submarines first, but you are right about one thing. We should search for the design drawings of these submarines and send them back to the UK now." Lieutenant Colonel Scott regained his calm expression and said to Allen
Wilson's reference was taken as a joke.
Alan Wilson, who was still receiving a Hyderabad salary, was certainly not kidding. To be honest, although Germany had been destroyed, it still had the foundation of an industrial power. British India was not completely devoid of industry, but it could definitely be a purely agricultural country.
Don't think that having more railways proves that the country's industrial base is good. The reason why Britain diligently built railways in British India was entirely to improve the efficiency of plundering and transport good things from British India. It had nothing to do with the development of industry.
The combination of such an industrial country and an agricultural country reminded Alan Wilson of a term: the oil-for-food program that was embargoed in Iraq. The oil-for-food program was to relieve the Iraqi people of the United Nations' mandatory economic sanctions and weapons on Iraq.
enacted in response to the pain caused by embargo sanctions.
At first, Iraq was dissatisfied, but later it became painful and happy, right? The essence of the oil-for-food program is to restore a certain level of livelihood to Iraq, which is in a state of collapse, but this is completely controllable. It is just a total collapse.
The situation has become like boiling a frog in warm water.
Once Iraq is slowly weakened and the time is right, the United States will directly eliminate Saddam.
As for the current British-occupied areas of Germany, there is really no difference from the colonies. If anything, the current German citizens in the British-occupied areas do not have the same rights as the Indians in British India.
Thinking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly felt that this was really a good thing. Britain was in the middle, using agricultural products from British India to restore order in the British-occupied areas of Germany, and then using the factories restored by Germany to transport them to British India.
However, the trade between British India and the British-occupied areas of Germany is controlled by the British. The pricing power of the goods shipped from both ends is in India. This is comparable to the British sacrificing the lives of domestic citizens to restore peace to the German-occupied areas.
Much more cost-effective.
Britain, which dominates this trade, can also supplement itself in the process.
"The Marshall Plan, the Molotov Plan, the British Empire will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is dry." Looking at the British soldiers in the distance, Alan Wilson secretly said fiercely.
Even if British India becomes independent, it must still stand the last duty for the British Empire. Alan Wilson will not compromise on this point!
The first shipment of food sent by Alim was the first stepping stone. If it could temporarily alleviate the tension in Hamburg, who said that this could not be the beginning of Britain's own-led plan.
Alan Wilson didn't have much time. He had a general understanding of the British-occupied area and was about to return to Berlin. He called Alim out for an interview and said, "Now there are mountains of German weapons, and there are also professional ones. After several years
Officer of the World War, please inform Maharaja Ali Khan of the situation here, and if he takes the initiative to mention it in the telegram next time he comes, I can help him arrange related matters."
"At present, the food gap in Europe is still huge, and we still need a lot of help from Maharaja Ali Khan. As the commissioner of Hyderabad, I will never let the monarch of Hyderabad suffer. That's all for now, I have to rush back to Berlin.
"
Once a bilateral trade plan between British India and the British-occupied Germany is formulated, it will definitely not work here. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' current strength is in Berlin, and he will have to go to Berlin to find an appropriate opportunity to make this idea come out logically.
This two-way trade plan was actually the same as the colonial policy of the British Empire, except that the British stayed behind the scenes and regulated the trade between the British-occupied areas of Germany and British India.
Moreover, British India’s blood transfusions to Britain could not be stopped. On this basis, blood transfusions to Germany were also needed. But at the same time, British India was not at a loss. It was enough for German citizens to have enough to eat. The products they produced were priced and shipped by Britain.
to British India.
The price of such industrial products branded by the British may be lower. What used to cost 100 yuan now sells for 90 yuan. The original price of British products was 50 yuan, but now they only cost 10 yuan from the Germans.
