Chapter 138: Treatment of the Winning Nation
Alan Wilson was going to marry a German? The two men wouldn’t think so, but even if it wasn’t a wife, it could be a lady of the same status.
It wasn’t like it was anything unusual, and given the current climate in Germany, it was a normal phenomenon in the British Occupation Trade Commission, except that the civil service community kept to their prima donnas and wouldn’t divulge this sort of thing to each other.
Alan Wilson experienced the treatment of a half a billion detectives, it is true that art comes from life, what he is doing now is similar to what Lei Luo did in the movie, forming a sufficiently huge and sturdy protective net to use to protect himself.
Things are doing the same thing, but Alan Wilson believes that he still has an advantage over a movie character, at least he is a real imperial civil servant, rather than a colony’s native elite.
Then the next Ruhr area’s first fully resumed factory will be born, in the city of Bonn, which the London government wants to set as a benchmark, considering the size of Germany, in fact, Bonn is not too far away from the U.S.-occupied area, and the transportation is also a good choice.
Over here in the British Occupation Zone, planning was underway to promote employment for the German population, while for most of the world, the Japanese surrender ceremony was obviously a much more important piece of news, and especially more important to Americans, knowing that the signature event of the U.S. entry into the war was Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy had been in a short period of time, the United States Pacific Fleet to the dust, which obviously can not let the notorious fate of the United States of America so quickly let go, how the Soviet Union treats Germany, the United States is how to treat the United States, the humiliation that should come absolutely can not be less.
In the Japanese surrender signing ceremony, “Missouri” under the bridge placed an old U.S. flag, is thirty-one stars of the U.S. flag, this flag is the origin of it is Matthew. This flag has a history, it is the American flag above the command ship of the “Black Ship Fleet” led by General Matthew Perry, at that time the United States was 31 states… This flag was borrowed by General Halsey from the United States Naval Academy Museum, as a proof that the United States Navy once again opened the door to Japan.
The most exultant person at the surrender ceremony was, of course, the five-star Admiral MacArthur. Although MacArthur had left in disgrace during the Philippine campaign, that didn’t stop MacArthur from coming back to stomp all over his rival who had given him a hard time in the first place.
It’s just that the battle between Nimitz and MacArthur over the state of the Army and Navy is naturally not known to the eating public, and no one cares about what’s going on at the other end of the world right now, least of all Allen Wilson.
He was liaising with Sir Barron, and in fact as far as the tobacco factories were concerned, he did not have to dismantle the tobacco factories in Chennai administratively through Sir Barron, and strictly speaking he did not need to fight for British India’s share.
Theory is theory, but in practice Alan Wilson had to take into account the interests of the British Indian civil service, of which he himself was a part, and was prepared to go back?
It is a very simple truth that one man cannot make all the money in the world. It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and it is also safer to tie in the civil servants of British India.
With the equipment and the raw materials, the time had come to start up. Bonn, although not a particularly important industrial city, had no shortage of places that could be used as plants, and, on the contrary, had more advantages than other cities.
Because Bonn is a coastal city, the convenience of the Rhine allows Bonn, under the conditions of poor roads, can borrow the Rhine radiation British occupation.
Then the tobacco factory start, whether to do it secretly, or use another way to let people know, this is a test of all the things, after deliberation, Tim Brand and Harold that the tobacco factory, since it is the German’s own industry, the bright side and the British Occupation Trade Commission has nothing to do.
Then there is nothing to avoid, not only do not need to sneak, and even should be widely publicized, so that the local journalists recorded this scene, with the factory resumed work to indicate that the British Occupation Zone to the right track, from the side to highlight the contribution of the British Occupation Zone Trade Commission.
Money and fame again? Allen Wilson heard, probably the two deputy secretary-general’s meaning is this, since the two people think that this is the best, he also agreed.
When it comes down to it, the harmful effects of tobacco were not well understood in this day and age, and it was widely believed that tobacco was harmless.
Research into the health hazards of tobacco is not absent, but it is not well known to the general public. Then it would just be a factory reopening and people would only be concerned about creating jobs, not what is or isn’t harmful.
At the opening of the Bonn Tobacco Factory, the two Deputy Secretaries General of the British Occupation Trade Commission, Tim Brand and Harold, and for this reason the two even found the Deputy Chief of Staff of the British Occupation Army, Westphalia, the First Regiment Army, to attend the ceremony and give a speech.
Colonel Malcolm, the commander of the British forces in Bonn, also saw the scene and expressed his shock at the tactics of these civil servants of the Board of Trade.
It was natural that the tobacco factory came into existence, but it was the result of the concerted efforts of civil servants in both the German British Occupation and British India, and all glory to the cornerstones of the British Empire for uniting with each other at the critical moment.
And so it was that a nominally German tobacco company, in fact a money-spinner in the hands of the British Occupation Trade Commission and the British Occupation interests, was born in the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The major London newspapers followed suit, applauding the news of the resumption of work in the British-occupied territories and attributing it to the hard work of all the British in the British-occupied territories, which gave jobs to the Germans in the midst of their difficulties.
The enterprise called Heilmann’s Tobacco Factory, supported by the Board of Trade of the British Occupied Territories, was established right here in Bonn. And on the same day it began to recruit workers, and was surrounded by the Germans who had gathered in the neighborhood.
And in the midst of the British Garrison Command in Bonn, after the departure of the Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Regiment Army, Alan Wilson, Tim Brand, Harold, and Colonel Malcolm, the commander of the British forces in Bonn, were clinking their glasses warmly in celebration of the Germans’ renewed employment, accompanied by Isabella Bokina, witnessing the privations of the British Occupation Forces.
“It’s not a tobacco line at all, it’s a money-printing line, and every day there’s no telling how much money is being produced.” Alan Wilson couldn’t hide his smile as he said, “Of course, we all understand that this could not have been done without the combined efforts of everyone, even as far away as New Delhi.”
“We have always been very appreciative of the work of our colleagues in British India, with the unfriendly local community and the grueling working conditions for civil servants. It is very moving to be able to make it this far.” Harold downed his whisky and turned the tables, “Of course your role in this process, Alan, is even less forgettable.”
“If it wasn’t for Allen, this kind of mutual complementarity between the two places might not have been realized so easily.” Tim Brand clinked glasses with Alan Wilson immediately afterward.
Both of them were looking forward to the future, and several of them didn’t drink too much; everyone had a long night left for parallel swim training, and neither of them were greedy after a few drinks.
“It probably won’t be too safe in the dark, and I’m sure everyone is busy. So I’ll take a walk and drive Ms. Isabella home. I’ll be back as soon as I drop her off at the place.” Alan Wilson spoke with a slight smell of alcohol.
“Real too hard!” Several people responded heartily, knowing full well whether Allen Wilson would return or not.
Among the Heilmann family, Allen Wilson has long been a lightweight, and can not be blamed for his lack of self-control, he is, after all, an energetic young man, there is still a lot of room to make mistakes at his age.
And this tolerant society, I believe, will not be too difficult for a young man seeking progress. Grasping a handful of ungraspable fullness and looking down at the night outside the window, Allen Wilson shivered.
The two entwined bodies stiffened for a moment before the round of Anglo-German goodwill was completed.
“Honey, did you talk to Anna?” Allen Wilson had only just finished, and couldn’t help but ask Isabella Bogina when she would get her wish to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her two sisters.
Blankly glanced at Allen Wilson, although already prepared in her heart, she was now still shocked at the bottom of the bottom line of the so-called gentleman of the British Empire, backward, degenerate, corrupt British bureaucrats, was her evaluation of Allen Wilson.
But on the other hand, the grown-up kleptocrat in front of her did shed blood, too much for herself and Anna, who had transformed herself from a Soviet-occupied refugee into the head of the Bonn Women’s Working Labor Bureau and owner of the Heilmann Tobacco Factory, all of which in careful retrospect had appeared in only a short period of time.
Recalling it now, Isabella Bogina felt like she was dreaming, and if not for her firmness of heart, she felt that Allen Wilson was the one person she could rely on for the rest of her life.
“I haven’t talked to Anna yet, he’s still two years younger than me, not even eighteen yet.” Isabella Bogina didn’t notice when she spoke that her heart was actually reluctant.
“I’m actually not that old.” There was Ellen Wilson, who felt a little less bloated, sticking up, “Darling, you know best how I treat you sisters, sharing whatever is good with you. Isn’t it better for us to live together?”
Because of the thinking of an occupying army, Ellen Wilson didn’t feel that what she said was wrong, she was the administrator of the British occupied area, what was wrong with thinking that way? Originally is to go to the city to go down to the restaurant do not spend money on the role, but also sincere treatment of the two sisters, the two German women should be content, demand a little victory treatment how?
Clearly feeling the increasing force of the hand on her chest, Isabella Bogina helplessly agreed, “I’ve been telling Anna lately, don’t pinch, it hurts me, and just like that you’re still saying it’s good for me?”
