Chapter 142 – The Love That Breaks Through the World

Two to be exact, but of course Alan Wilson couldn’t admit it, and categorically confessed, “Of course I can’t do that, I have clean hands and a clear conscience, and I ask myself to have the good conduct of an imperial civil servant.”

“Oh?” Tim Brand and Harold’s two undersecretaries nodded their heads with deep meaning, their eyes full of I believe it.

Then things would be simple, this was supposed to be a military issue, in principle it would not tarnish the glorious and magnificent image of the imperial civil servants, of course, the military rules of the Military Council existed, and likewise the objective facts of the British-occupied territories also existed.

What the final outcome of this matter will turn out to be has a reason within it, “We cannot, of course, deny the objective facts that exist under the present special conditions, but there is also a certain amount of justification for the military rules of the army. But since the soldier involved has offered to be discharged from the army and also to marry the German girl, there could in principle be a multitude of different outcomes.”

“And our concern is whether this will create hatred among the Germans for the British occupying forces to the detriment of Germany’s bright future of getting back on the right track, which may need to be discussed in detail before we can have an outcome.”

“Of course in principle now that the matter has come up, we should also be open to the possible outcome. After all, whether they are soldiers or German girls, they are young people, and when dealing with young people, the tolerant British Empire should adopt an accommodating attitude and handle similar issues with care and caution.”

“So? What do the two Under-Secretaries mean?” After listening to half a dozen civil service talking points, Alan Wilson reached up and scratched his scalp, asking without changing his mind.

“Wait and see what happens, depending on what the soldiers in the army currently think.” Harold spoke haughtily, “If the wedding being held is a positive influence in the military, I believe it would be quite natural to go along with the removal of the rule of not being able to intermarry with Germans.”

“As stated before, it is almost universal for soldiers to establish intimate relationships with German women. But the results of formal marriages will have to be evaluated.” Timbrand made a condescending remark that amply demonstrated the realm of saying everything and saying nothing at the same time.

“Of course the wedding will take place, and we can refrain from asking questions. But if the Germans are particularly welcome to the affair, we likewise cannot interfere.” Harold added in an aside, “acquiescing in the appearance of facts.”

This meant that the Board of Trade could only assist on this, and would only act after sufficient feedback from public opinion, and that was for Alan Wilson’s sake, to preserve the bond of relationship because of the tobacco factories and the civil service of British India, or else the two men would not have said so at all.

“That is to say that the Germans eagerly blessed the emergence of cross-country weddings?” Alan Wilson finally understood the meaning of the two men, it was simply too tiring to talk like this, and it was clear that a solution could be proposed very simply.

It didn’t seem to be that difficult, as long as the Bonn occupation forces performed some degree of authorization, or not. By default this great transnational love that broke through the world appeared and Alan Wilson was able to find enough supporters to make cigarettes free at the wedding, for example.

Follow-up media coverage was also necessary, such as the British soldier who was discharged from the army rather than give the woman he loved a future in order to make a promise to the German girl. Maybe in the future Britain will have one less general ……

The softball thing can be written however doggerel, there will always be fools who will shed tears, and with the current number of German women, maybe there are quite a few fools.

Solve the problem of the disproportionate ratio of adult men and women in Germany, Alan Wilson never thought it was a wrong thing to do, can’t let these German women die alone. Although it can not be said to be all, but can be solved as much as possible.

Before traveling to Brussels, Allen Wilson decided to treat this cross-country wedding as an important thing to do, breaking through the pedantic military rules and secularism, and opening the door for cross-country marriage.

He believed that British men would not object, after all, in terms of supply and demand, the ability to choose becomes larger, who would object? Alan Wilson will object to Isabella sisters at the same time rely on their own? Absolutely not, on the contrary, this time to enjoy not thinking about England!

“My dear, what do you think of the intermarriage between England and Germany?” After leaving the Board of Trade, Alan Wilson rushed to ask Bokina during dinner.

I’ll stand and watch! It’s not like I’m German! Although she thought so in her heart, Isabella Bogina said shyly and timidly, “Allen, are you going to marry me? I’m not ready yet.”

In a moment the offense and defense is different, face with embarrassment coughed, Allen Wilson digresses, just focus on the current difficulties, and the limitations of the general environment, blocking the love between Britain and Germany. Naturally this restriction of the general environment also restricts Ellen Wilson and her two sisters from entering the marriage hall.

If not looking at Alan Wilson’s hand has been extended to Anna, Isabella Bogina high and low also want to give him a couple of sentences, hastily said, “you this person a little more serious, now is not to talk about business it? Anna heart fear you you can not see.”

I do not! Anna’s heart slandered, just ingesting Isabella Bogina’s lewdness is not good to say out.

“I am also talking about business.” With an embarrassed face and pulling his hand back, Alan Wilson whispered, “Keep your voice down, don’t let your mother hear, we have to restrain ourselves a little bit too don’t we?”

Since moving to Bonn, Mia had lived in another house, leaving this one empty as a place for her two daughters to live, cheaply of course for Ellen Wilson who had been at the scene of the crime for a long time and didn’t want to leave.

“I can organize for women to go to the wedding and at the same time offer free cigarettes at the wedding site.” Isabella Bogina recovered her indifferent look to come up with an idea, “That should do it, hey, I feel like I’m a German traitor.”

“No, it won’t.” Alan Wilson was finally a bit of a man, taking the woman into his arms, the pressure coming from his chest almost made him grunt.

Although in his heart, he knew that this is the behavior of German traitors, but how can he say it, the future of the Federal Republic of Germany is still a meat shield against the Soviet Union’s pressure, to say it is too hurtful to the feelings between the allies.

In the eyes of many people very brave British soldiers and German girls, at the same time this is considered to be a bridge of friendship between Britain and Germany’s marriage, breaking through the European countries hostile prejudice against each other’s wedding, in some people to promote, as well as the social environment of the common factors, in the cooler weather in September officially began.

The wedding took place at the Bonn Cathedral, a Roman Catholic church in Bonn. Bonn Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Germany, built in the eleventh century. The Bonn Cathedral was once the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cologne and is of great significance.

The church is ancient and sacred, and in the small square behind the church, there are two statues of human heads. It is the two Christian saints Cassius and Florentius who were martyred here in the 3rd century.

The Bonn Cathedral was also bombed during the war, as the German economy collapsed after the war and feeding the Germans became a problem, and the church had not held a solemn service or ceremony for a long time.

Alan Wilson, although British, was not impressed with England and did not attend a marriage ceremony while in England. He went straight to the Far East, and later arrived in British India, and actually wondered if a church of the caliber of the Bonn Cathedral would be used as the site of a marriage ceremony.

But considering that Germany was now a defeated country, it seemed that there was no need to consider anything else. Everything in the British-occupied zone was now at the whim of the Military Council and the Board of Trade, so what was wrong with commandeering a church for a wedding?

Though in a sense the wedding could be described as modest, for example, the hero was still in British army uniform, and the German girl did not wear a wedding dress, but her usual clothes.

Alan Wilson judged from the face, the German girl can be said to be in the middle of the German women’s face on the upper position, as for the British soldiers? As for the English soldiers, they are very much out of place, average.

Than the hero and heroine of the simple, Bonn Cathedral is very lively, the church inside a full house, and even outside the church on the street, also full of men and women rushed to congratulate.

This lively scene was recorded by the British media journalists who came here with great interest and were ready to make a big news. These British-occupied journalists received money, so they would naturally sing the praises of the lovely love story in their subsequent reports.

Of course, the report may also include some personal information, for example, the war as the initiator of Germany also brought deep suffering, resulting in the fact that the German men and women imbalance, a lot of age appropriate, fair-skinned and beautiful German girls can not find a life partner fact.

This painful fact, once the British males learned of it, Alan Wilson did not know what the consequences would be. Maybe a pat on the head to come to Germany to help the poor, men, in order to crotch inside that thing what things do not come out?

Wedding Allen Wilson also plugged in a few people to make a speech, is only to hope that this marriage, will become the starting point of reconciliation between Britain and Germany. For this British soldiers to maintain the determination of love, should be sung by everyone.

At the same time, it also bluntly indicates that there is indeed a number of occupation soldiers and local women to get along with the fact, calling on more soldiers to consider clearly, is not to be brave to take responsibility.

Although all of this, just attracted the attention of the German women at the wedding, and did not enter the ears of the German men enjoying free cigarettes, but to say and not to say is two different things.

British-occupied areas of the first public appearance of the cross-border wedding, at least in the scene is absolutely spectacular, the exception of the cathedral are overflowing, seem to be over to the couple to send blessings.

The cross-country wedding became a hot topic of conversation in the streets of Bonn, and then spread with surprising speed through the British Occupied Territories and eventually back to the UK itself.
