Chapter 33 The Second

Through a Philby, who was in Great Britain with a heart in the Soviet Union, it was made clear that he couldn’t wait to go to Germany to loot the talent, which of course was intentional, and that the United States, Britain, and France would have had to do the same thing, and it made perfect sense.

As for why through to Philby, this is not Allen Wilson suddenly essence of the Soviet possession, decided to dedicate his life for the sake of internationalism.

After all, it is still for the British Empire to consider, the history of Germany’s defeat after the war of talent grabbing war, there is no doubt that the United States is the biggest winner, to the Soviet Union’s system, as well as the Soviet Union and Germany’s blood feud between the German people in mind for the Soviet Union to serve the fight fear.

The Soviet Union has not reacted to the beginning, was the United States, Britain and France took the lead, until the time to react to most of the talent has fallen into the hands of the United States, Britain and France, the Soviet Union can only retreat to receive some of the documents and information slowly research, confiscation of German factories to make up for the loss of the snatched talent is better than nothing.

The United States, Britain and France, the United States is to occupy the greatest benefit, Britain and France in the post-war attraction has been unable to compare with the United States.

Alan Wilson through Philby to give the Soviets a reminder, because he knows the history in his head, this era, even Stalin, may not be as clear as him, the Soviet Union in this world war in the middle of what price to pay.

The Soviet Union chose not to publish a census after the war, and it wasn’t until the 1950s and 1960s that the population was recounted and it was announced that twenty-seven million people had died in the war. This is the death figure, while China’s 35 million is the casualty figure, and China’s population base is also much larger.

The Soviet Union’s casualty figure was estimated at seventy million, and the Soviet Union, not counting the three annexed Baltic states, had only one point six billion people. Take out half of the female population from this and the Soviet Union was already at an extremely weak point.

At the end of the war, the USSR was not comparable to the United States in any way, except for a strong Soviet Red Army, and thanks to the Americans, who had just seen the throne of world hegemony and had not yet come out of their original thinking.

If Britain and France are in the environment and position of the United States, the old imperialist thinking kicked in, may not hesitate to go along with the destruction of the Soviet Union, the Americans still have not degenerated, this aspect of the guts is too small.

The talent grab leaked out, Allen Wilson is nothing more than want the Soviet Union and the United States of America’s strength can be equalized a little. If you can make the United States of America’s rocket technology slow for a year and a half even if successful.

Somewhat sadly, Allen Wilson could only do this through this kind of enemy financing. If important German talent fell into the hands of the British, it was almost as bad as falling into the hands of the Americans.

At this point in time, Britain is not going to fall out with the Americans over a few military industrial talents, and once the Americans apply pressure, even if the British get the talents in this area, the odds are that in the end they will still fall into the hands of the Americans.

Britain may not necessarily be able to stay, but the Soviet Union as an enemy can, if the strength is enough, he would rather be an enemy with the United States.

As the liaison officer of the Ministry of Indian Affairs to British India, and also temporarily seconded to the Foreign Office, Allen Wilson’s working relationship remained with the Ministry of Indian Affairs for the time being. Although he had only just returned to London not long ago, he had already made a number of friends through the necessary socialization, both in the Foreign Office and in the Indian Affairs Department.

As we all know, from British India outgoing back to the country’s officials will not be a few poor people, Allen Wilson so completely in line with the persona, soon said a lot of Whitehall civil servants welcome, young has been so on the road, Allen does not go to Europe who goes to Europe?

Shuttle back and forth between the civil servants in the two departments, the network is so established! In times of war, having such a man who had just returned from a wealthy colony was certainly welcomed by many.

Philby also arrived at the reception and brought someone with him, rushing to introduce Alan Wilson, “Alan, this is a friend of mine. Introducing I. Francis Burgess, worked as a BBC broadcaster. Now also works in the Foreign Office! It’s a rare opportunity, maybe he’ll go on an expatriate job like you sometime.

“Hello, heard Philby talking about you.” Burgess took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Alan Wilson’s.

Alan Wilson also took the initiative to extend his hand, a little mushy inside, another one! The members of the Cambridge Five, if compared to family history, Philby is definitely the leader, Philby’s father is an earl.

The knighthood in Western Europe is similar in rank, but the gold content is different in different countries. France’s great nobles are all dukes, Germany’s noble marquis is already considered very rare. The British side is even stricter, the earl is already considered the existence of the upper class with strong influence.

Although the Mountbatten family came from the Prince, but this Prince is the German side of the title, not the British title. Britain in addition to the Prince of Wales, the rest of the Prince are just a title, not the real status, the Earl has been rare.

When Burgess went to school in Cambridge, he became the most active member of the “Cambridge Apostolic Society” which was the most famous at Cambridge University at that time, and the “Pitt Club” which had the privilege of having many members of noble sons, and he became the most attractive person in these student societies with his innate social skills.

“I just heard about a very interesting person coming back from India, and today is the first time I’ve met him. It’s still dangerous in Europe, so be careful when you go to Germany.” Compared to Philby, Burgess appeared to be very much at home, and quite a number of people he knew, and in a moment he entered the crowd.

Philby, on the other hand, sat at Allen Wilson’s table, holding a glass of wine and chatting, “What’s the clue about the upcoming departure?”

“Haven’t gotten a concrete explanation yet, I don’t have much to go on.” Alan Wilson’s words changed, “But from my personal point of view, the mission is of course to dismantle the German war machine, and among the German military industry I think the most important is the rocket field and some of the novel weapons that appeared at the end of the war. These weapons may be immature, but once the relevant information reaches us in the UK, the development is much more sophisticated.”

“And then there’s the weaponry left over from the war, whether it’s destroyed and sealed or what.” Alan Wilson stopped embarrassed at this and said, “This is all my personal thoughts, still need to wait for the department’s planning.”

“Indeed, it doesn’t really need to be done perfectly, being able to participate in it is already a great resume.” Philby said with bashful relief, “Maybe dealing with the Allies will take a lot of your energy.”

Hmm! Alan Wilson nodded his head in recognition, just wondering who exactly the allied nations Philby was referring to were.
