Chapter 120 – The First Pot of Gold Idea

What’s wrong with Rodnia? Rich in natural resources, coal, chromium, iron, platinum, gold, diamonds, is a small size of South Africa, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, still can not be housed in the 200,000 remnants of Mihailovich?

Even if the industrial base is now a little weak, at least will not starve ah, not better than now cigarettes become hard currency Germany? In Allen Wilson’s opinion, Rodnia was a place of great promise.

The climate is also good, the land is also enough, they have not disliked these refugees who can not eat fast? And the other side picked on them?

And he was only informing Mihailovich, not giving the other side the right to object, as if these refugees still thought they were the meat and potatoes?

“There are three options before you, the first is to go to Rhodesia, if you don’t want to. I can only repatriate you back to Yugoslavia, of course in humanitarian considerations, may also be repatriated to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union if you repatriate you back to Yugoslavia will not care about the British Empire.”

Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders, completely looking as if he had done his best, and it was not at all his fault that things had evolved to such a state.

“May I ask, is there any difference between repatriating Yugoslavia and repatriating the Soviet Union?” Mihajlovic asked rhetorically, disgruntled.

“That’s just a diversity of answers, we generally give people three kinds of advice, two of which are exactly the same with only a difference in wording, and the other is completely unacceptable, such as attacking the Soviet Union or bombing the United States.” Alan Wilson asked blandly, “Now can you tell me, would like to go to Rhodesia?”

“I want something to take to Africa and I hope to get a response.” For the British Empire’s shamelessness, Mihailovich no longer had the heart to retort, the money had already been given to Alan Wilson, he could only hope now that the other party would still look at the face of the money he had received before, and retain some of the goodness in his heart.

“Tell me first!” Allen Wilson can not directly agree to it, now Europe is listening to the lack of anything, and Rhodesia precious metals are not in short supply, these Yugoslavia to the place can be completely re-digging, don’t expect to take away anything worthwhile.

“If the liaison officer can beat this demand, I’m willing to give you everything of value that everyone has on them right now.” Mikhailovich aggravated his tone.

“Ah ……” Alan Wilson lit a cigarette, then handed the rest to Mikhailovich, signaling to continue.

“Africa is so far away, we know nothing of the area, and it’s hard to keep ourselves safe if we don’t have weapons.” Mikhailovich pleaded, “Agree to this condition and we leave Europe with absolutely nothing.”

“I see.” Alan Wilson put down a huge stone in his heart, the world war had just ended, and the weapons of all countries were severely stagnant, their value was equivalent to scrap iron. Fingers on the table clicked a few times, with a careless tone replied, “Another continent is indeed full of unknown challenges, I am not willing to let you guys in danger, this matter I will operate, after a while I will return to the British Occupied Area, convenient to give you care.”

Allen Wilson is not for the money, these refugees on the oil and water, has long been before the Austrian British-occupied area and the German U.S. occupied area scavenged twice, even if it is now contributing to their own, all the refugees together, it is estimated that even a hundred pounds of gold are not.

But who let Allen Wilson, born to be good people it, has not been contaminated by this filthy world, the heart of goodness can not see the ordinary people suffer, which reluctantly agreed.

He is definitely not for himself, but has received a telegram, the mainland will soon have a large number of civil servants to take over the work of the British-occupied areas, the Empire’s public servants traveled thousands of miles to serve in a country that was once an enemy.

It was not too much to believe that these colleagues, who would soon be working with him, would always want a little extra income.

It is never better to receive money than to receive it alone, and this is how connections are made.

Regarding the matter of the Yugoslavian refugees relocating to Rhodesia is so finalized, I do not know what conditions the London government exchanged with the United States from this matter, Alan Wilson, this small commissioner, always worrying about the future of the empire, the British empire is indeed also worrying ah.

Waiting for Mihailovich to leave, Mia who came over to cook was full of gratitude and rushed to greet Allen Wilson, “If it wasn’t for you, I, a middle-aged woman with no ability, would have no way to live on in this city, and might have become a begging refugee long ago, thank you so much.”

In this time period now, cigarettes are the hard currency in Berlin, Alan Wilson took out a pack of cigarettes to Mia from time to time, as a salary for Mia to go out and exchange for the necessities of life, so that she has lived a very comfortable life for this short period of time, and is much more relaxed than the average citizen of Berlin, and now it seems that there is something to be learned from capitalism as well.

“It’s all fine, and thanks for your work during this time, cigarettes won’t be a circulating currency for long.” Alan Wilson waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to thank anything, in fact it’s nothing to be thanked for, it’s no more than a small favor.”

The value of a cigarette in Germany at this time is equivalent to about one thousand dollars. And this situation according to at least another year or so, so that a large number of American soldiers and even high-ranking officials are working as a dumping ground.

This is of course bad news for Allen Wilson who wants to establish up the position of British middlemen, but he had already dismantled a cigarette factory in Chennai, India, long before he arrived in Germany, through the relationship in British India, and is now at sea, just do not know when it will arrive. As for tobacco, British India has been growing tobacco for close to three hundred years.

European war has stopped, shipping resumed, Allen Wilson first thing to do, is to use British India’s tobacco planting, now Germany’s black market for cigarettes to eliminate, stop the United States pouring on Europe’s wealth plunder.

Cigarette black market boom period, the U.S. Army in Frankfurt, Germany, rebuilt office buildings, but only paid the cost of one hundred and fifty cigarettes, see the windfall profits.

This is Allen Wilson planning the first bucket of gold, anyway, smoking is harmful to health, he is also for the sake of the health of the residents of British India, this kind of harmful stuff is better to leave to the Europeans, the Europeans are colonizers.

These things were unknown to Mia, she just wanted to be grateful to Allen Wilson for taking care of her during this time, and took the initiative to invite, “Mr. Allen, I prepared a dinner at home as a thank you, and would like to invite you to the place where I live, and have dinner with our family, and my daughter would like to thank you very much as well.”

“It’s all a show of hands, I don’t need your thanks at all.” Alan Wilson said and turned his words around, looking at the watch on his wrist and said, “Tomorrow, it’s not too early today, so it’s not good for me to interrupt.”
