Chapter 121: Showtime
Now in Germany, nominally there is a coordination mechanism, but in reality it is the four occupied territories of their own management. Nominally, of course, we still preach to retain the unification of Germany, when the time is right to promote the merger of the four occupied territories.
Allen Wilson knew, of course, that the division of Germany was inevitable. But in 1945 this obstacle came not from Britain, the United States or the Soviet Union, but from France. France wanted Germany to disappear forever, and did not want to see a country called Germany still exist in Europe.
God knows how in history Britain and the United States persuaded France to rejoin the three occupied territories into the Federal Republic of Germany. But now, every French move shows that the French want the Saarland for themselves.
Like the famous Alsace and Lorraine in history, the Saarland was fought over several times by Germany and France, and was actually German territory for most of the time.
Only Germany’s unification was too late, which gave France the opportunity. Although the Saarland had changed hands eight times over the course of two hundred years, only twice did it go to France.
After Germany’s defeat in World War I, the Peace of Versailles separated the Saarland from the German Empire and created an autonomous government in the region, which France had been seeking to annex and control the region’s economy.
But France did not succeed, only gaining ownership of the Saar mines and holding the Saar in trust for its political future for fifteen years.
World War II brought a German resurgence, and now France once again annexed the Saar. This time France was determined to keep the Saar firmly in its own hands.
Three times in less than a hundred years, Germany invaded France. This was a strange shame for France, knowing that France had been the hegemon of the European continent for hundreds of years, and although it was in decline, it could not be bullied like this three times.
France in 1945 had only one wish, and that was to dismember Germany, so that Germany returned to the state before unification, and could never rise again. Especially the Saarland, which was close to France and rich in resources, was impossible for Germany to have again.
Because of Germany’s comeback after World War I, the previous experience is not far away, Britain and the United States sympathized with France’s, France also took advantage of this time, the establishment of the Saar and Germany’s tariff barriers, the fiat currency instead of the mark, and through the constitution to establish the relationship between the Saarland and France, the Saarland incorporated into the French economic and monetary system.
In Alan Wilson’s opinion, however, the annexation of the Saar by France was not a bad thing; it would keep future rapprochement between Germany and France from occurring anytime soon, which would be good for Britain’s seizure of European leadership.
If the Brussels Conference in a month or so, the French made a request to annex the Saarland, then as an old friend of the French people, Allen Wilson was sure to help. Liquidating the remnants of the Third Reich was a reason no one could refute.
If the Saarland is annexed to France, it seems that for a short period of time, France can have the ability to overwhelm Germany, but for a longer period of time, the relationship between the two countries will suffer as a result of this, and the UK would be happy to see the future twin giants of the European Union, because of the Saarland belonging to the gap.
At the same time as British India liaison officer and European liaison officer Alan Wilson, in fact, every day is in the middle of busy. Especially in Berlin, the front line of the confrontation, it is not easy to find time to relax.
At the same time, Britain formally established an organization called the British Board of Trade in the British-occupied part of Germany. The agency of the same name had long existed in Britain, and in wartime it campaigned for thrift and frugality in Britain while working on rationing.
Not all food was rationed in wartime Britain, and fruit and vegetables were never rationed, but demand for these goods often outstripped supply, especially tomatoes, onions and fruit from overseas. The government therefore strongly encouraged people to grow and eat their own vegetables in their gardens and front of house and to try new recipes.
Britain’s time in World War II was actually a long way from being as grueling as one might imagine, and rationing was severely expanded. It certainly wasn’t worse than the standard of living of Mia’s family now, at least.
Both England and Germany were broadly Germanic, and the take-home food was a wide variety of sausages. Alan Wilson wasn’t prepared for a hearty lunch at Mia’s house.
Mia’s home was in the middle of the British-occupied area, which was a good place to live now that the entire city of Greater Berlin was full of dangerous houses.
After seeing Mia’s two daughters, Allen Wilson is still a bit unbelievable, the German Dragoons also have a rare breed?
To tell the truth, Allen Wilson saw Mia’s two daughters, the first idea is to want to use cigarettes for the two girls’ bodies, this idea is purely out of instinct, without mixing any private prejudice.
As a carefully selected quality cadet of Lubyanka XI, Isabella Bogina could see at a glance the dirty thoughts of the man in front of her, not only did he move on himself, but he even wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Isabella Bogina, who was dressed plainly but did not hide her natural beauty, introduced herself and her sister, “This is my sister Anna, my name is Hannah Isabella Heilmann, my sister’s name is Anna Isabella Heilmann. Thank you Mr. Allen for taking care of my mother’s work, otherwise it would have been difficult for us in these trying times.”
“When the Soviets came in, we didn’t eat for days.” The girl whose real name and alias were both Anna, spoke pitifully, as if thinking of the hard times during that time.
“Right thing to do.” At the critical moment, Allen Wilson forgot that the Soviet Union was a Confederate ally, and how unfortunate it would be if the two beautiful girls were spoiled by the Soviets.
In terms of looks, the two sisters did not have the slightest resemblance to the German Dragoons that Alan Wilson had in his head.
The more consistent place was that the two sisters had good bodies, with a height close to one meter seven. However, it was not like the exaggerated meatball body type of the Americans, and in general it was the kind of big beautiful girl, not petite.
With two beautiful girls on her side, Mia’s main course of the day, potatoes, wasn’t too hard to swallow. Alan Wilson, who had been diligently practicing his conversation skills, had also removed his mask and appeared much more sincere.
Not to mention Isabella Bogina intentionally or unintentionally, always leaking their own family and the Soviets have a blood feud, his father was killed in battle, his brother disappeared in the Eastern Front battlefield, life and death unknown facts.
Everything allows Allen Wilson to unload his defenses, unaware of the fact that he is facing a group snub.
The two girls’ blinking eyes were as sincere as could be expected, and they were indeed long and pretty, with plain exteriors that could not disguise a rather substantial inner beauty.
The meal could be called a showpiece, there was nothing much to talk about, and Alan Wilson talked about his work, “Maybe I’ll have to go back to the British Occupation Zone after a while, things are busier over there. I have a lot of coworkers coming over!”
