Chapter 1145 – The United States of America in the Heat of the Moment

The Comet airliner took off from Moscow the next day, destined for West Berlin, which was controlled by Britain, America and France.

Alan Wilson was still digesting the tiredness in his body, the Culture Czar was just too enthusiastic. For the sake of the deceased’s son, he wouldn’t take it personally with the young, idealistic young KGB, ideals would eventually be disillusioned.

In Alan Wilson’s opinion, Alexeyev has only just entered society, some of the real side of society has not yet seen, see more, will know what the real world is all about.

A few hours later, a group of people have landed in the sky above West Berlin, from the military airport out.

To the West Berlin official who met them, they expressed their intention to borrow the special location here for a spy exchange.

“Permanent Undersecretary, we have informed the U.S. side that rescuing the captured agents of our allies is not going well.” West Berlin Commissioner Clay and Allen Wilson walked side by side, “The American side is also interested, in joining us in a spy exchange.”

“That’s interesting. But is it taking advantage of us, I’ve been working on this for so long, and the Americans came right up and joined in, you tell Dulles to send me a special telegram expressing his gratitude. Otherwise I’m so selfish that I’m likely to repeat this at the next Allied intelligence meeting.”

Clay couldn’t help but be dumbfounded and nodded, “All right, I’ll inform the U.S. side of the Permanent Undersecretary’s request.”

When he was over West Berlin, Alan Wilson had a half-hearted look at the skyline of West Berlin, and when he came down, he was even more curious, wanting to know what the current state of West Berlin was.

Clay then introduced, the current population of West Berlin plus the garrison, a total of about 120,000, the garrison less than 10,000 people.

This is also very normal, the location of West Berlin is too dangerous, Britain, the United States and France can not put a huge force in the Soviet Red Army at any time can be eaten by the location, so if the incident of gunfire, the free world is not a big loss? A game of chess where you let the rooks, horses and cannons come up before you fight?

Listening to the introduction, Alan Wilson’s eyebrows fluttered and he replied happily, “That’s really great. The Soviet Union is responsible for the collapse of West Berlin, and the capital of the enemy of two world wars has turned into a dead end today, it’s also happy enough.”

“The Executive Vice-Minister is right.” Clay smiled awkwardly, thankfully there were no Germans in the neighborhood, “The citizens of West Berlin live in concentrated areas, and can’t afford a huge municipal building.”

“Build what build, that’s fine.” Alan Wilson excitedly asked if there was a car, he wanted to feel the post-modern flavor of the empty city, he had not felt it in his last life, although his hometown was not far from Hegang.

Actually, Hegang wasn’t that bad, current West Berlin was at least on the level of Yumen.

Ninety percent of the buildings were uninhabited, and the British permanent undersecretary was intrigued, and took out the camera that had served so many ladies of the same status as his wife, and photographed West Berlin.

“What a great location, actually try to develop it, tourism and adventure resources, for movie sets and such, I’m sure a lot of movie studios would be interested.”

Night falls, Alan Wilson facing the silent night of West Berlin city center, chest full of grandeur, and Britain fought two world wars in Germany, their capital city into the present this kind of ghostly appearance, worthy of congratulations.

Just after opening a bottle of champagne, there was a knock at the door, and Clay came in with a telegram, “Permanent Undersecretary, it’s a letter of thanks from Mr. Dulles.

“Let me see if there’s any inflection to scold me.” Alan Wilson let Clay take his place and popped open the champagne, while he himself took the telegram from Dulles.

“Sir Wilson, professionalism and ethical contributions in saving lawful citizens have made the CIA ……”

“Excellent, I’m keeping Dulles’ telegram, it wasn’t easy to get him to ask for thanks. Of course it doesn’t make up for the fact that the U.S. didn’t have much to do in the spy exchange, and used the British work.”

Shih put the telegram away, Clay had opened the champagne, and the two men talked about the exchange of spies to the vast expanse of the West Berlin night.

Clay, who was in West Berlin, made no secret of the fact that near at hand, the decision to go to war in the morning could be followed by a parade in the afternoon, “There are actually voices in Bonn giving up West Berlin.”

“That would certainly not do, the Americans would not agree to it.” Alan Wilson, who was holding a glass of wine, shook his head straight, “The value of Berlin has nothing to do with its citizens, it’s the free world that needs such a stronghold. West Berlin is not doing well and the root cause is the Soviet Union. The Free World has provided all it can.”

It wasn’t a shirking of responsibility, that’s how he saw it and reassured Clay, “It won’t come to a fight, the Soviets make you really attack, we’ll detonate the nuclear land mines we have in the Bundesrepublik Deutschland and send the Germans and the Soviets to the sky together. Is there anything in this world more pleasurable than Germans and Soviets dying together? Not that I can think of, anyway.”

“The Germans would be disappointed if they knew what the permanent undersecretary was thinking.” After a few drinks, Clay was getting much more relaxed, and the initial awkwardness was easing.

“The Germans count as people? You can really joke about that. That was the enemy of two world wars, without the Germans, would Imperial Russia and the United States of America dare to challenge us? Britain’s huge colonies were enough for Britain to support two world wars, but the Germans were the scapegoat twice. They brought this on themselves. Germany will be divided forever, and there won’t be a so-called unified Germany in existence anymore.”

Alan Wilson angled his neck and shamelessly continued, “As early as World War I we should have agreed to France’s proposal and just dismantled Germany, leaving the remaining national strength behind, and no matter if it was the United States or the Soviet Union, they wouldn’t have paid the price in blood to fight us.”

Knowing that Germany had the audacity to come back a second time and directly shake up the global domination of the Sunset Empire, every Brit would have agreed with the French. France tried to support Rhineland secessionism, and instead of the Rhineland continuing to be blockaded by the Entente like the rest of Germany during the Entente occupation, it received economic aid from France.

The French also tried to use the media in spreading the Rhinelanders French theory, such as the Rhineland was occupied by Prussia for only half a century, the Rhineland belonged to the civilized world, the Rhinelanders were all Catholics and preferred wine to beer and such words.

The French were even assisted by the mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer. However the secessionist propaganda did not help and there were hardly any responders.

France came up with a lot of creative schemes for the country after WWI, the merger of South Germany and Austria, independence for Saxony, independence for the Rhineland, and if necessary an independent Prussia could be made.

“Dismembering Germany directly after WWI and breaking into Berlin does seem to be the optimal option now. The Bolsheviks in nineteen nineteen weren’t even that much of a threat.” Clay couldn’t help but follow the Permanent Undersecretary’s pointing and rehashing the fact that he should have been more ruthless in the first place to avoid World War II.

A country with three thousand tanks would have been able to do all of the above in nineteen ninety-nine, and such a country certainly existed, Britain in nineteen ninety-nine was, and Britain was not only the world’s number one navy, but also the world’s number one army.

“But we can’t go back in time, the Soviet Union is more difficult to deal with now than Germany was back then.” Clay sighed with his glass, “We didn’t expect to have to deal with such a monster.”

“What’s so difficult to deal with. It’s not like we’ll actually fight.” Alan Wilson was unimpressed, “No country in the Soviet camp can develop on its own. How many countries can the Soviet Union afford?”

After a day apart, Allen Wilson forgot about the drunken banter, it was reported that a French film company was coming to West Berlin for a scene, he must receive reception, so that Ms. Hedy Lamarr, to enjoy the great scenery of West Berlin.

“Every day you just know how to think about this ……” accused the soul-infused Hedy Lamarr, mortified.

“It’s not waiting, there’s nothing efficient about Americans.” The logistically fed Alan Wilson replied with satisfaction, “I’m in defense of the free world.”

“Shut up!” Hedy Lamarr spat in a small, soft voice, the phrase defending the free world had changed flavor with her, she could welcome a new member of her family every year if she were younger.

The German car has a little mood, it is difficult to defeat Alan Wilson, a good test driver, can not just test drive, there is sufficient maintenance experience.

Soon, Allen Wilson knew that Shemicha Sneh does not involve a third country’s reneging on the reason, the United States used to exchange the spy is Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, a Soviet KGB spy, the rank of colonel; from 1927 to join the Soviet Union’s intelligence service to 1957 was arrested by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Abel for the Soviet Union’s KGB for the entire service for thirty years, in addition to the Abel in the espionage world has a nickname “The Man of a Thousand Faces.”

To this day Abel has been incarcerated for many years, and the U.S. agreed to the exchange because the Soviets shot down the U2 reconnaissance plane and captured the pilot, Bowers.

“Why didn’t Dulles come himself!” Alan Wilson asked very enthusiastically about the movements of his American counterpart, now Dulles must be very angry that such a big spy had to be returned to the Soviet Union.

If the U2 scout pilot hadn’t been captured, how could Dulles have spared such a famous spy, fulfilling the Soviet intelligence service’s relentless efforts to rescue his comrade?

Galliman heard Dulles say before he came that the British would definitely take the opportunity to say that the United States rubbed it in, and in the face of Allen Wilson’s questioning, naturally chose not to answer.

Allen Wilson, asking for fun, went through the channels of communication and indicated to the Soviet side that the exchangers had arrived, and the British side asked the other side to exchange the person who was implicated in the Pinkovsky case of the legal citizen Gravind, and the object of the exchange was the captured Soviet Yevgeny Ivanov.

The United States, on the other hand, was to exchange Abel, for the captured Soviet pilot Bowles.
