Chapter 364 The Social Democratic Convention

Then when it was time to leave work, Allen Wilson drove away from the headquarters of the Board of Trade, first returning to the apartment where he was temporarily staying, followed by a visit to the Heilmann family, mainly to have a meal, which was all normal.

The current economic situation in the British-occupied area, basically can be said to maintain a rationing system of supply by ticket, but also currency circulation also exists, after all, as the best part of Germany, the British-occupied area is the existence of a number of powerful people.

Even if the World War destroyed Germany and the general public only expected to live, the powerful could still sunbathe and drink coffee.

Not to mention, the profiteering of the Pogina sisters through the cigarette factories had been no less than that of the big German capitalists before them.

After Alan Wilson finished eating with the two sisters, he inquired of Bogina, “My dear, the pre-war German political parties have begun to resume their activities, so if you really want to develop in the political arena, you’ll have to choose a party to join.”

“It’s still early, after all, the occupying countries are still on their own.” Bokina sought Alan Wilson’s opinion, “Wouldn’t it be better to wait until a coalition government is formed, at that time.”

“A coalition government? Germany’s?” Seeing Bojina nodding, Allen Wilson hesitated before saying, “My dear, don’t think about a coalition government, without any surprises, Germany will be split up in the future. It will become two countries!”

“What?” Bokina stood up straight away and said in disbelief, “You said Germany will be split into two countries? You are telling a joke right?”

This kind of reaction was normal in Alan Wilson’s eyes, people were Germans after all, and it was normal to be excited at the thought of their homeland splitting into two.

“I didn’t say for sure it would, but it’s almost inevitable. Sooner or later, our side and the Soviets will come to a confrontation.” Alan Wilson re-took Bokina’s hand and sat the other on his lap, “Don’t think about it so much, you can’t stop anything, it’s all destiny. Not to mention you, even the Soviet Union can’t do anything, what can they do? Nothing can be done. The United States is too powerful now, even if the Soviets blockade Berlin, the United States can build out an air corridor to secure Berlin’s supply.”

Still digesting Allen Wilson’s words, with a flutter in her mind, she didn’t know what she was thinking, and said cautiously, “But it seems like all the major occupation zones, right now, are preaching that they won’t split Germany.”

“That’s what they say, but actions and proclamations are always the opposite.” Alan Wilson did not think, “So that while this time in Hanover, the opening of the SPD congress, you want to make a difference in politics, now you should consider joining a party, wait until the situation is stable will not be good, the key is that with Germany step by step to the right track, I may not be able to help you in what. You sisters follow me, and I will try to help you.”

“I’ll do whatever you say!” Bokina whispered with a lowered brow, “You’re going to be busy again, and I’ll let you do whatever you want tonight.”

This words, Alan Wilson as if the bones are lightened two two, not to mention that this woman just want to be an official, at this time is want to let him think of ways to be able to do the Prime Minister, he can try.

“Do I go to Hanover too?” Bokina asked as she drew little circles around Alan Wilson with her finger.

“No, that party of Konrad Adenauer would suit you better.” Alan Wilson shook his head, “The SPD is still easy to raise alarms after all, and they’re closer to the Soviets ideologically. Not to be trusted.”

This night, Allen Wilson experienced the coquettishness of the Dragon Riders, and when he set off for Hanover, his walk felt as if he was on a cloud, typically overworked.

The two still walked separately, both to avoid suspicion, and when they got Bogina to depart, Anna, who was standing by the window, watched her boss’s departure and bristled, “Pervert.”

The SPD convention in Hanover epitomized the renewed activity of political parties in post-war Germany, and Alan Wilson, who had previously talked up the division of Germany, went along on a friendly note with some of the members of the British Occupation Trade Commission. The double-sided life switches freely.

Everyone knows that parties like these SPD and SWP are disciples and grandchildren of Engels.

In fact Alan Wilson should have gone to Konrad Adenauer if he wanted to help build influence in the British Empire.

The predecessor of the CDU had already been formed, and Konrad Adenauer was the leader of this fledgling party.

The most important thing that Konrad Adenauer did during his tenure was that Allen Wilson was the one who thought that it had led to the reconciliation of Germany and France and the establishment of the EEC, but now Allen Wilson felt that he couldn’t be used, and that the current EEC was, obviously, much stronger than the historical EEC.

Allen Wilson himself came out to the SPD side, so that Bogina went to the Adenauer side, two bets, no matter which party is in power can be buried in the German political scene nails.

The CDU is, after all, Konrad Adenauer single-handedly integrated party, than the bottom line is actually no better than the SPD as a party.

Although the CDU and the Social Democrats are not too clear understanding of these two parties, but Allen Wilson knows that the next few decades of Germany in the hands of these two parties, that is absolutely right.

Out of the eggs can not be put in a basket, Allen Wilson and Bogina decided to go to the Social Democrats and the CDU, so that the future no matter how Germany changes, are not out of control. It is impossible for the German Communist Party to come to power, right?

Really if that kind of thing are going to appear, Allen Wilson is also willing to show flexible moral bottom line, in fact, he is also a lurking in the imperialism of …… our people. If even Germany changed color, what would be the point of confrontation.

Along with Allen Wilson in Hanover was Hadlow, and the two watched how the SPD congress was convened. At first glance, the atmosphere was still relatively warm, after all, it was the first congress after the war.

Then Hadlow became worried, “How come these Germans are speaking as if the Soviets mean almost the same thing.”

“There is very little difference between the SPD and the German Communist Party, this is after all where the workers’ movement started, and you must know that the gentleman who wrote Capitalism, he was a German.” As soon as Alan Wilson heard Harold’s concern, he explained, “The situation is still unstable, it’s not impossible for us to slowly dissolve the Soviet color of this party.”

“What solution?” Harold eagerly inquired, although civil servants can’t have obvious political leanings, but now this situation, the Soviet Union is right in the east eyeing, there is no way for him not to be anxious.

“We can’t do anything about this, what can we do? We can only make the British-occupied areas that are under military control prohibit the activities of the Social Democratic Party, but this will only be counterproductive.” Alan Wilson sighed and said, “Only the Prime Minister has the means to get this matter on track.”

“Create a larger framework to include the German SPD. Didn’t the Soviet Union create an international organization?” Alan Wilson nodded to himself, “It is the Labour Party that is in power in the country right now, and Prime Minister Adderley also claims to be a true socialist, it would be fitting for the Labour Party to take the lead in establishing such an organization. How about calling it the Socialist Party International?”

“What’s the point?” Harold laughed bitterly, “Why can’t I see any prospects at all?”

“Now that the socialist movement in Europe is so high, not only us, but even the Americans can only throw money at it. But the Soviet Union was able to start another international organization, and we in Britain certainly can. A Labor government could specialize in finding parties that all advocate something similar but different from those Soviets.” Alan Wilson said calmly, “A country like the Soviet Union, we can not work through external pressure, why don’t we pretend to be the same kind of people, join in to stir them into a mess from the inside, so that the matter will be solved.”

“The end result may not be satisfactory, but we just have to make the process satisfactory.”

The two were thinking about how to deal with the thorny issue, whether to unite the French, after all, the French Socialist Party is also quite powerful, if both Britain and France can take the lead, not only this matter is more easy to operate, but also can be a one-off to set the German Social Democrats in a subordinate position, for the construction of the post-war order is a good thing.

“Wait until the Brussels conference, I will find an opportunity to talk to the French.” The two men, Alan Wilson and Harold, who already had an idea, decided that they wanted to give the government honest feedback on the problems discovered by the current SPD congress.

The two men’s discussion had to be interrupted because Brandt came on stage, Allen Wilson also wanted to hear what the, shocking kneeling German Chancellor could say.

It must be said that because of the German Social Democratic Party and the German Communist Party origin, Brandt from just came to power is full of suspicion, if not when he came to power, have been in the sixties.

In Konrad Adenauer’s time, the three occupying forces would have been discussing how to set up a military government. Considering the current number one party in France, it’s also possible that the British and American armies negotiated the establishment of a military government, tossing that dubious ally aside.

The United States during the Cold War simply had no interest in any democracy, especially in the early and middle periods, the government model that the United States appreciated the most was the military government, adding up the coups staged by the United States from the beginning to the end of the Cold War, the military government definitely exceeded the sum of the other government models.

After listening for a while, Allen Wilson lost interest, and there was nothing new. Instead, he pondered how to dismantle the workers’ parties on the Western European side that were still under Soviet influence.

As it stands, many of the workers’ parties that are not Soviet-style parties have been influenced by the Soviet Union.

This trend knew no relief until the 1950s, and the origin was the German SPD Gothenburg Platform, which henceforth officially recognized the SPD as an improved party. A distinction was made from the various communist parties.

It was too much of a pity that this kind of provocation to build influence was left to the political party of a defeated country. It was simply not the turn of the Germans to be the leader of the improvement, and Chancellor Eidley was very suitable.
