Chapter 160 – Misty London

“Actually, I’m not entirely at ease with your lives in Bonn.” Alan Wilson wrote his mood all over his face and said in a roundabout way, “There’s a saying that you’re not afraid of a thief but you’re afraid of the thief’s thoughts, which completely explains my current mood.”

Isabella Bogina was stunned, and only reacted after a few seconds, afraid that her sister had been taken away by another man? It seemed like only husbands had this kind of worry about their wives, right?

“It won’t happen!” Isabella Bokina gently reassured, it would be underestimating the results of years of training if just any man could take the two high achievers away.

There was another factor that Isabella Bogina hadn’t realized in her mind, and that was that Allen Wilson had already offered too high a price. So high that there wouldn’t be another person that would be foolish enough to give such a treatment.

The fact that Isabella Bogina’s bottom line had been repeatedly breached had a huge correlation to the fact that the imperial civil servants had repeatedly raised the stakes.

This would be fine if it were peacetime, but at this point in time, when Germany is littered with people who have nothing to do and need heavy labor to have a mouth to feed, the contrast is stark.

It is an objective fact that she was able to become the head of the Bonn Women’s Labor Bureau and run the Heilmann Tobacco Factory, which is currently the most profitable in Europe, thanks to the imperialist assholes in front of her.

The current U.S. stock market is, in fact, in the midst of a recovery; after all, the memories of the Great Depression are too grim for Americans. The liquidation value of many stocks during the Great Depression was considerably higher than the stock price, and the stock market has only just begun to slowly recover from the tragic memories.

Alan Wilson remembers that the recovery of the U.S. stock market has been somewhat delayed, and just because it was entirely industry that propped up U.S. prosperity during World War II doesn’t mean that the average American has forgotten about the stock market crash of the Great Depression.

Still skeptical of the stock market, after the end of World War II until 1954, the U.S. stock market reached a high point before the onset of the Great Depression.

World War II, the United States to pension funds and mutual funds as the main intervention in the stock market, this period of modern institutional investors began to be developed, the number of mutual funds in 1950 reached ninety-eight, with total assets of twenty-five billion dollars.

At the end of World War II four million employees accounting for fifteen percent of the private sector workforce were covered by pension plans, and in 1950, nine million eight hundred thousand employees, accounting for twenty-five percent of the total workforce, were covered by pension plans, while pension funds gradually became the most important institutional investors in the stock market.

In fact up until the Vietnam War, the U.S. stock market could be considered a good place to make a profit. However, Alan Wilson is not prepared to steal the rice bowl with Warren Buffett, as long as the head of the company to catch some of the holdings on the stock can be.

Anyway, the United Kingdom and the United States, Allen Wilson borrowed the United States stock market, reasonable and lawful to do some investment business, I believe that no one can say anything.

“Pamela Mountbatten’s mother, seems to be very rich.” Allen Wilson stroked his chin, himself as a people’s servant can not have too obvious involvement with money, but Pamela Mountbatten is possible.

The most important preparation for this return to British India was to take back the proceeds of the Heilmann Tobacco Factory.

With Alan Wilson’s experience of living in British India, the civil servants of British India were generally a little more greedy than the native civil servants, or else there would not have been a general outcry against the independence of British India.

If British India were to become independent, where else would there be such a big plate for them to open their gorging mouths?

For the time being, Allen Wilson’s important task in returning to British India was to tell his colleagues in British India in no uncertain terms that time was running out, to fast-forward to the Last Supper, and that there would be no more store after this village.

Bring back a proper portion of the profits of the Heilmann Tobacco Factory in order to motivate the British Indian civil servants in the shortest possible time, so that there will be no problems in the efficiency of the work.

In this regard, Allen Wilson has no selfishness at all, but only unlimited loyalty to the British Empire.

Isabella Bogina stepped in and got a number of German company owners to hold a farewell ceremony for Allen Wilson, who was about to rise high, “Mr. Allen, in the midst of the work in the British Occupied Territories, with unlimited energy to contribute to the restoration of order in the British Occupied Territories, which will be appreciated by all Germans, let us wish that the Anglo-German friendship will never fade. ”

“Why is there a bit of an Ursula von der Leyen vibe?” Although Alan Wilson was the main character, he did not make a spectacle of himself on this occasion, he was not a politician and did not need to perform for votes.

Seeing Isabella Bogina, who was at ease in front of a number of German business representatives, he couldn’t help but think of another German female politician, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission in the latter half of the century.

It’s not that Merkel has any preconceptions, mainly because of the personal image of the top of the right, the German Dragoons also have to be divided into categories.

After saying some crown article, with the expression of having invited my lover, Isabella Bogina let Allen Wilson speak, explicitly and implicitly mean, don’t think my man is gone, you can not take me seriously.

“This time I came to Germany made me learn a lot, and I was very impressed with the diligence of the German people, especially the tenacity shown by women in the middle of the reconstruction project.” Alan Wilson dryly said a few politically correct words, “I believe that within three to five years, Germany will return to its former prosperity, and I hope that we will never break out into a war, we are all Europeans, and we should unite together in this difficult time.”

“I hope Europe will return to prosperity soon.” Alan Wilson slanted a glance at Isabella Bogina, he is going to leave and still be pulled out to stand, do not consider the face of the imperial civil servants? Tonight not a double whammy, not enough to make up for Alan Wilson’s damaged reputation.

Fallen western civilization ah! Allen Wilson ruffled his little brother who had already bowed his head, got up in the ring of two dragon cavalrymen and ushered in a new day.

Closer and closer to the day of departure, Allen Wilson was a little reluctant to get up, but for the sake of his dream, he still had to start again with full enthusiasm, the sky does not give birth to Allen, India is as long as the night.

“Let us give you a ride?” Isabella Bokina casually draped a man’s shirt to get up, not buttoned, a pair of fullness is not covered in the slightest, just exposed in the air. Anna, on the other hand, covered herself with the quilt and her big eyes just looked at looked at Alan Wilson without saying a word.

After swallowing a mouthful of spit with difficulty, Alan Wilson firmly averted his eyes and said, “No need! You guys live well is the biggest comfort to me.”

“My sister and I will send you to Hanover, it’s not like people in your country know.” Anna, who had been standing up and not cooperating with her persona, opened her mouth and took the initiative to propose, “Won’t follow you back to London!”

Allen Wilson face with surprise, but immediately swelled, it seems that day after day Anna sister already does not resist himself.

In the end, Allen Wilson still temporarily decided to take a boat back to the country, not to add to the burden of the busy aviation industry, maintaining the tradition of thrift and frugality, after all, the box containing the gold, is not very good to carry, or to take a boat is more convenient a little.

This is the Yugoslavian people’s hard-earned money, hate to even break off the gold teeth to Alan Wilson custody, if lost, he can not afford to pay the responsibility.

“The air in London, it’s still worse than in Europe.” Arrived in London, raised his head to look at the dim sky, Allen Wilson some nostalgia for the British-occupied area of the birds and flowers, Germany’s industry has been destroyed to the end, and at present absolutely do not have to worry about any environmental issues, absolute ecology, not much worse than Africa.

And then look at London, the sky can not see the original color, completely a backward country performance, should be condemned.

Alan Wilson seems to remember, London had a pollution incident that caused a large number of casualties, before cleaning up industrial pollution.

It happened in nineteen fifty-two, the sky over London was affected by an anticyclone, a large number of factories production and residents burning coal heating emissions are difficult to diffuse, accumulated in the sky over the city. London was shrouded in thick smog, traffic was paralyzed, and pedestrians groped their way cautiously.

Not only were people’s lives disrupted, but their health was also seriously jeopardized. Many citizens suffered from chest tightness, choking and other discomforts, and morbidity and mortality rates increased dramatically.

It was not until a strong and cold westerly wind blew away the smog that had enveloped London that the reaching out of London came to an end, and more than four thousand people died that month because of the Foggy City Incident.

In fact, London is like this at all times, it’s just that the death toll from that one in 1952 was so high that it doesn’t mean that the air quality in London is usually good.

Take now, when the weather has turned cooler and there has been a huge increase in the use of coal in London, a contrast that is quite obvious to Alan Wilson, who has just returned from Europe.

Putting away the hard-earned money of the people of Yugoslavia, Alan Wilson, without the slightest hesitation, went to Mountbatten’s house. Putting a trip to Whitehall in second place.

“There’s a message from Whitehall that Louis is going back to Europe.” Edwina Ashley mentioned her husband, obviously missing him in the Far East, not that he hadn’t been to British India during the war, only that he hadn’t stayed in New Delhi long enough to return to London again because of his duties as well.

Was it so easy to go to British India during the World War? Old Versailles it was!

Alan Wilson replied politely, “That’s really good news that Her Ladyship can be reunited with her own husband.”

Not to mention that General Mountbatten’s transfer back to Europe was just a rumor, and even if it were true, he’d still have to go back before too long.

“I haven’t seen him for almost a year either, and the war is finally over.” Edwina Ashley smiled gently, then asked about Allen Wilson, “Allen, you are also returning to your country to report for duty, right?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Allen Wilson secretly said isn’t this a coincidence, the place he is going to is exactly British India.

After chatting for a while about family matters, Allen Wilson offered his farewell, ready to go to Whitehall to poke around.
