Chapter 34 Operation Ossawagen

Which was the clear enemy, the Soviets? Or the dubious ally, the United States of America, oh, and maybe France.

During the day, these people are the backbone of the support of Whitehall, the British Empire as a whole to give orders, to the evening cocktail party, said the words and the townspeople is not much different, should have gossip mentality, a no less.

Alan Wilson in the mouth of Germany is worth scavenging technology, in fact, those, well-known rocket technology, as well as some of the black technology inspired by the end of the poor period.

Of course most of the so-called black technology, can be called technically immature brainstorming remnants. But the general direction is not wrong, like Germany so desperate, regardless of the half-finished products will be applied to the war, the technology content is also that.

Thinking of black technology, in fact, before the Soviet Union committed suicide, what the Caspian Sea monster giant ground effect vehicle, what the Shark-class nuclear submarine is bigger than the average aircraft carrier, than the German leakage of semi-finished products much better.

The necessary technological reserves of a strong nation are there to be had, except that the losers will leak them out, and if someday the United States, the inverse son of the British Empire, is also unlucky, perhaps the leaked black technology will be even more intimidating.

However, in Alan Wilson’s opinion, Germany’s biggest black technology is uniforms, with these uniforms, attracted countless open-legged soaps for Germany to sing the praises of the spirit of what can be sung.

Than what, for example, “giant rat” super-heavy tanks, “silver bird” airplanes, etc., are more lethal.

Burgess came back, sat down next to Philby, and asked Alan Wilson, “Your work is linked to the risk of achievement, and everyone knows that going to the German occupation zone at this time will be a brilliant piece of resume, but on the other hand, we can imagine, what is the current situation on the European continent. Armies on both the east and west fronts have swept across Germany, which wasn’t known for its agriculture, and with no overseas colonies to replenish it, even eating is now a problem.”

“Burgess is right.” Philby nodded on the side, “Even if Germany surrenders right now, there’s not much time left to turn on agricultural production, tens of millions of Germans have to eat, it’s a huge burden.”

It is now May, historically almost Germany surrendered at this time, the farming season has already passed, now even if planting, the second half of the year will not be able to grow to completion, whether the Germans can eat or not, depends entirely on the previous accumulation, if it is not robbed.

“It seems only the Americans can solve this problem.” Alan Wilson uttered his thoughts with a start.

The only one in this world who could solve the problem of feeding such a huge population was the United States. Although in the agricultural era, the United States that was always harvested by the arctic cold current wasn’t very good.

“Whatever, I hope everything goes well for Alan, and if possible, help some poor people.” Burgess was still a bit more sympathetic than Philby, idealistic people have that problem.

Alan Wilson also agreed very quickly, he would have had to do so, how to say is a civil servant of the British Empire, this is the duty of the matter.

After the reception, naturally someone to pay the bill, a decently dressed man drove to pick up Allen Wilson, the two departments of the civil servants also left in twos and threes, early rest, tomorrow but also continue to serve the British Empire.

Back home Allen Wilson reached out to Ali Khan’s butler in London to enter the house, and as soon as he sat down, he asked directly, “I wonder how the Maharajah feels about my idea, can I borrow a sum of money for the time being.”

Being able to maintain the persona of a man who had returned from British India with no shortage of money, Alan Wilson could certainly do so by virtue of himself. But for the well-being of the people of Hyderabad, he could not substitute Ali Khan’s inputs; one size does not fit all, and taking money for a job makes sense everywhere you go.

“The Maharaja understands the Commissioner’s contribution to Hyderabad and the telegram has already stated a willingness to supply this Commissioner’s trip to Europe.” The steward nodded calmly, “Only the amount is rather large.”

“With the Maharajah’s wealth, a million pounds is not a great deal of money; at best it is a suitable sum. I am personally grateful for the Maharajah’s consideration, but something else occurred to me; money alone will not solve the problem.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, “A little more is needed.”

“Need what?” The steward’s heart thumped, not that he was terribly loyal to Ali Khan and heartbroken by the Hyderabad monarch’s wealth, but he would be in the middle of a hectic schedule when things got going.

“Food, food and cigarettes, work even better than money at a time like this.” Alan Wilson said solemnly, “Now that the German territory has been plowed under by the war, a shortage of food is a probable thing. If Ali Khan can set an example as a monarch in this matter, it could well be a moral example in the midst of the brutal aftermath of a world war. I’ll do the rest, and feed the right weapons back to Hyderabad.”

“Then I will contact the Maharaja now.” The butler dared not be slow to listen, and was called back by Alan Wilson, “First collect some tobacco and alcohol, the men of Germany lost a lot in the war, we first solve the needs of the men, as for the women, the war makes the women go away.”

Although it is said that men and women are cannon fodder in the middle of the war, but the value of cannon fodder and cannon fodder is not the same, once the war breaks out, what women’s rights are all bullshit, and it’s okay to make a fuss in peacetime. In times of war the government will only prioritize men’s rights, and that’s a fact whether it’s acknowledged or not.

In Germany, where the war has just ended, alcohol and tobacco are hard currency, much more useful than the paper Mark, perhaps even more useful than the British pound.

Thousands of miles away, the weather in Eastern Europe was still very cool, and in Moscow’s Lubyanka Square, where Melkulov, the head of the General Directorate of State Security, who was busy writing a document, was ambling about with a sharp pen, the telephone on his desk suddenly rang violently.

“This is Melkulov!” Reaching for the microphone, Merkulov’s eyes under his thick hair were full of sharpness.

“This is Beria!” On the other end of the microphone, a cold voice came out to introduce itself.

Merkulov instantly got up and stood straight, responding loudly, “Chief Commissar, what are your orders.”

“Mobilize the main staff of the First General Directorate and immediately depart for Germany to open Operation Osawagen, focusing on the German scientists in the field of rocketry.” Beria blandly commanded, “All frontline troops, must cooperate.”

“Yes!” As if he had received something heavenly, Melkulov returned a loud voice, and a beeping busy sound had already come from the opposite side of the microphone.
