Chapter 362 – Nothing but Money

“Oh?” Alan Wilson took the telegram and scanned the contents on it, and already had a rough idea in his heart.

The imperialist heart of the Reverse Son America finally broke through the budding stage and started to thrive two years after the end of the World War.

As early as half a year ago, the Marshall Plan has been formally proposed, if you count the first in Greece and Turkey’s inputs, it is even earlier, only nothing obvious effect, after all, the war is a gold-swallowing beast, the side to give money to fight the war, the effect, even if it is not equal to zero, the situation in the Near East is also not much of a change.

Allen Wilson, who just fought for a big contract, seems to stay in Europe for a month, the time is still quite tight.

Although he has long been accustomed to living on the run, the end of this year seems to be particularly busy.

Not just work problems, Crown Prince Elizabeth is about to get married, originally this must have nothing to do with Alan Wilson.

But he did not want to try to operate after a number of related, General Mountbatten as an important member of the royal family is sure to participate, Pamela Mountbatten naturally will not be an exception.

Allen Wilson, who had just signed an export contract, returned to Bonn to meet with his colleagues in the British Occupied Territories Trade Commission.

Although two years have not seen, Allen Wilson has also been promoted, and the two deputy secretary general of the Trade Commission on an equal footing, but the friendship of plotting Germany’s post-war reconstruction together, but also let everyone is very familiar with each other, and there is no barrier when meeting.

“I hear there are strikes in France and Denmark. It’s better in Germany!” Harold heard Alan Wilson inquired, gave an answer that was not bad, “But our British-occupied area is okay, a large number of prisoners of war have re-entered society, in addition to a number of important military and industrial enterprises are still subject to the clampdown, most of the enterprises have already reopened, has not yet been fully restored to the pre-war situation, but already eighty-three percent of the pre-war. ”

“That’s very good indeed.” Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Germany didn’t have problems, the problem was manageable.

Currently the few remaining major powers in Europe, Germany was the most important line of defense against the Soviet Union. As for France appearing to go on strike, people have been like this since ancient times, Allen Wilson is not convenient to ask about it.

At present, the most favorable place is that, in addition to the British mainland agriculture, all indicators have been restored to the pre-war level.

In the current Europe can be said to be a crane, enough to be alarmed that the old imperialism invincible. Total imports and exports will be divided into how to calculate, excluding British India outside the figure, naturally, is not yet restored to the pre-war level.

But it is not two wings fly together, this side of the pressure on the Germans to reduce costs to promote the imperial preferential system, the other side of the British India to tap the potential of the drug is still strong enough, the speed of the recovery of the mainland far more than the same period in history.

The rationing system of course has not officially ended, that is no way things, rationing is mainly related to the problem of food.

But Allen Wilson believes that the official end of rationing on the home front must have come much earlier than the historical year 1954.

“There is no doubt that if the United States were to open up massive economic aid, London would want, of course, for us to take the largest share.” Alan Wilson mused, “We would have been expected to take the largest share as well, if not to us to whom? To the French? To the Italians? The French Communist Party and the Italian Communist Party are all there, give it to Germany, and the change of face is not so fast, is it?”

Coming out of the Board of Trade’s headquarters in Bonn, Allen Wilson went back to the apartment where he had previously lived for his work in Europe, and then sneaked off to the Heilmann family residence.

Although the busy daily routine was quite painful, it was all of his own choosing, so he had to grit his teeth no matter how hard it was.

The advance meeting involving the Marshall Plan was in December, the current time period, the telegram was for him to go to go to Brussels first, as an official who had just returned from the colonies, he still had advanced experience to share.

Three bodies entwined together, enjoying a flush Allen Wilson was content, “I wish I could spend more time with you guys.”

“Where have you been? This just came back and want to leave again?” Bo Gina’s pair of arms like lotus roots, exerted a death entanglement on Allen Wilson, rather like a kind of attitude that if you don’t give me an explanation, it’s not over.

“Anyway, it’s all over, it’s no big deal to tell you guys, I went to Berlin earlier to have a negotiation with the Soviets.” Alan Wilson thought that once things were done and had become final, naturally there was nothing to keep secret.

So he told about the sale of the Rollo engine and the signing of the rubber and tin ore import and export contracts.

“You negotiated with the Soviets?” With Bokina’s rank, it was impossible to know such things, and it was only now that she realized it as an afterthought.

“Two gold bars, please tell me which one is noble and which one is despicable?” Alan Wilson smiled slightly and kissed Bokina’s cheek before feeling a small hand behind his back punch and twist his ribs before returning to give Anna the same treatment.

This kind of thing depends on how you say it, you can’t break the objective law just because of some principles, what must be recognized is that as a defeated country, Italy also suffered the same trauma of war.

It is well known that Italy, with its small size, lack of resources and weak industrial base, was the weakest of the imperialist powers, and how well the Soviets commented on it, poor imperialism.

However, this is not much sense of existence, has been criticized by the people of Italy, but after the Second World War into the golden period of rapid development, in a short period of time to create the world’s attention of the “economic miracle”.

If you look closely at Italy in the Cold War period when the powerful, it is very clear that we can sort out the vein, Italy’s strongest Communist Party, it is Italy swallowed up the mountains of the time.

The more powerful the Italian Communist Party, the more Italy is able to meet the needs of both the left and the right, the Italian economy depends on the Italian Communist Party’s momentum on the line. The more powerful the Italian Communist Party is, the more it will be able to give Italy access to markets that other European countries can’t enter and that were controlled by the Soviet Union.

Even the oil crisis didn’t affect Italy’s development, which was on a par with Germany’s until the 1990s, when the Soviet Union fell to its knees and Italy’s development officially came to a standstill.

This kind of thing, after all, is still the same saying, can Italy do it? I can’t do it in Great Britain?

Currently the British Empire, at least, there is a vast number of colonies to support, not more than Italy, the basis of the left and right?

At this time just negotiated a big deal, it is complacent Allen Wilson, in Bonn, the future capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, provoked the Anglo-German war, to go to Brussels to play a good foundation.

It was still early enough for Allen Wilson to use the time for a few other errands, and this was not hidden from the Dragoon Sisters.

“You’re going to review the released prisoners?” Early the next morning, the two sisters were getting dressed, and Bokina’s movements slightly stalled, displaying excellent hardware in front of Allen Wilson.

“Uh, ah, yes!” Hardly swallowing a mouthful of smear, Allen Wilson was a little dizzy and seemed to be shaken out of his eyes and said, “Go and dig up some talent, I’ve already made a report to London to do some vetting for the release of war criminals. As you know, we handle prisoners captured in Germany far less rigorously than the Soviet Union.”

The Nuremberg trials had shot all that needed to be shot, but there were only a few major war criminals, and the rest were tens of thousands of prisoners from various institutions and enterprises of the Third Reich.

Probably less than one-fifth of the prisoners tried in the Soviet Union were acquitted, whereas the probability of acquittal for war criminals in the British and American French-occupied territories was more than fifty percent; France did not reach that percentage, but it was far lighter than the Soviet Union.

In conducting a number of audits can show that the British Empire is serious about liquidating Germany, the most important thing is that you can collect talent, Pamela Mountbatten certainly can be dug up on the mainland, but how high is the cost of that ah? The German side has a much lower cost of talent, living a life must not be careful with the money?

“I’m just a little surprised that you just finished talking business with the Soviets.” Bogina collected the color of surprise said.

“No contradiction, everything is profit-oriented. There’s no fixed moral standard.” Allen Wilson grinned and got up, rushing to slap the asses of both Pokina and Anna, accompanied by a crunching sound and the pouting of the Dragoon sisters.

Under the banner of never letting any bad guy go and never wronging a good guy, Alan Wilson in Boone officially vetted the minor war criminals that had been released or were about to be released.

At the same time also took over the right to investigate the remaining still unreleased, convicted war criminals, the head of the civil servants in the British Occupation Zone, nothing more than the two deputy secretaries general of the Board of Trade, which he knew, or an important shareholder of the Heilmann family tobacco factory.

British Occupation is not a problem, he can do whatever he wants to do, in the telegram to London, Alan Wilson just said that there are still a few days to go before the meeting in Brussels, he always need to find something to do, and anyway, idle.

“In fact, on the telegram from Barron’s, it was also mentioned that Allen is a man who values power very highly.” Norman Brooke saw the telegram and nuzzled at Edward Bridges, “Day in and day out as if he doesn’t do a little something, he’s sorry for his position, making Barron still very annoyed.”

“Actually, there are some things that don’t make much sense to do or not to do.” Edward Bridges shook his head slightly, “Of course it’s not a big deal, although he is very strong in his position, he knows how to share the rewards and is not greedy.”

“Or greedy in a different way.” Norman Brooke snorted, “Well, after all, the EC meeting in Brussels is still some time away, and the one in Paris with the US in attendance is even next month, so it’s not much of a stretch for him to want to find something to do, so let him toss it around, I guess it’s not much of a big deal.”

“Nothing more than money.” Edward Bridges added softly.
