Chapter 46 The Allen Report

For the British media people who had come to witness the surrender ceremony, they would not leave Berlin for a while yet, and now everyone knew that in the following month there would be a joint military parade of the four countries, which was another big news, and there was a reason for Berlin to be permanent.

Although the four countries are ostensibly allies, compared with the Soviet Red Army, the United States, Britain and France are still largely on the same side, and it is also a very important thing to establish effective public opinion in Berlin.

Of course these were already known to the Berlin correspondents sent by the major newspapers, and even to Allen Wilson himself. Public opinion guidance has been a little late, the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs People’s Commissariat of the elite, has dug up the Soviet-occupied territories, searching for German military and industrial scientists who have listed their names in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Americans, who had not yet reacted, were kept in the dark, not realizing that their own covert actions had been taken by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was closely watching every move.

On the streets of London, reports of Germany’s formal surrender filled the already somewhat war-weary citizens of London with enthusiasm that the British Empire had finally won the Great War and trampled its old enemy, the Germans, underfoot.

In the midst of the celebrations of the victory over their arch-enemy, the London government also relaxed its control, and almost instantly, London was lifted from its wartime status, and in the midst of this festive atmosphere, Philby, dressed in civilian clothes, went to the home of a friend of his.

“Oh, Philby, it’s a lively time out there, isn’t it?” Donald Maclean was not at all surprised at this, and as he spoke I. Francis Burgess came out of the inner room and nodded at Philby.

“Oh, celebrating the surrender of the Germans is sort of a thing to let go of for the most part.” Philby grunted and laughed, then threw the paper in his hand on the table.

“What’s this!” Burgess frowned, looking at the paper bag on the table.

“I just received it as well, a document sent from Berlin to the Foreign Ministry.” Philby shrugged at Donald, “Actually, even if I don’t bring it here, you should see it right away, according to the process it’s going to be sent to the Foreign Ministry tomorrow after we’ve checked it.”

Donald Maclean, born in nineteen fifteen. He was a British diplomat in France, the United States, and Egypt. Maclean’s father was an England-born Scot, a Liberal politician who served as chairman of the Board of Education.

At the age of twenty, Maclean first stepped through the doors of the Foreign Office, and from then on he would become the first of the Cambridge Five to penetrate the heart of the British regime.

“It’s a written report from Berlin, isn’t it? Let me see it!” Donald Maclean, hearing Philby say so, immediately became interested, flipped through it, and was soon fully engaged in it.

“Why, let me see!” Burgess caught a glimpse of Alan Wilson’s name and gave Philby a strange look, “A symbol of our British Empire’s civil servants? But, Philby, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to him.”

Alan Wilson to know, he gave money to the French women on the streets of Paris, will have such a great influence, no chance that he will consider resigning from the public office on the body at the appropriate time, join the Conservative Party or the Labor Party, to carry out election campaigns, no chance that he will become the Prime Minister of the British Empire.

“With his current popularity, it’s hard not to be noticed. And at such a young age, he was taken care of by General Mountbatten, he was the Commissioner of Hyderabad in British India, and when he came back, he went straight to Germany to get seniority, so how could I not pay attention to him.” Philby said he wasn’t to blame, then turned the conversation around and said, “You’ve all had experience in the Foreign Office, take a good look at what’s up there.”

With a hand outstretched to signal a moment’s peace, Burgess took the document and read it, the document in front of the three men was the report written by Alan Wilson that had the Yugoslav Fatherland Army written off in one stroke.

In addition to the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in the Balkans, the rest of the contents of the report, not only did not pass over, but also very detailed.

In the middle of Allen Wilson’s report, after a brief politically correct attack on the Soviet Union for potentially posing a threat to world peace and turning the people of the free world into puppets of the Soviet Union, he analyzes the situation in the Soviet Union from an imperialist standpoint.

“With the current fighting strength of the Soviet Red Army, after four years of bloody battles with Germany, the Allied forces on the Western Front may not be a match for the Soviet Red Army on the ground, but they can influence the Soviet-occupied territories by means of a certain degree. Britain, America and France, especially the United States, had the economic power to do this.”

It was not surprising that there was hostility to the Soviet Union in an imperialist tone, and Donald and Burgess nodded darkly, then stated that the American, British, and French Occupation could utilize their great economic power to have an effect on the Soviet Occupation.

Up to the current paragraph, everything is still normal, but in the last paragraph it is written, “The Soviet Union occupies nearly half of Eurasia and is difficult to contain once it becomes powerful. After the World War, the Allies were no match for the Allies in terms of land forces, and they had to keep the Soviet Union in captivity through superficial easing of the situation. With the current status quo in Europe maintained, the possible weak link is not really in Europe, but in Asia.”

“From what I have seen in British India, the Japanese army’s fighting strength is no longer comparable to what it was four years ago. Not to mention facing the armies in the European theater, even facing the Anglo-Indian Army in British India is very much a struggle.”

“Once the Soviet Union will transfer the Soviet Red Army in Europe to Asia, with the current military strength of the Asian Allies, it is likely to be unable to rob the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is not known for its navy, but the Kuril Islands and the Hokkaido can be crossed between the islands without the need for a large navy. What’s more, the Japanese Combined Fleet has been lost, the Soviets can land even if they make a bathtub, and once they do, the old and weak of the Japanese mainland are definitely no match for the Soviet Red Army.”

“Once the Soviet Red Army occupies Hokkaido, the fragile Far East environment will be greatly changed. If Hokkaido is in the hands of the Allies, the whole of Japan is the front line of the Allies blockading the Soviet Union, if Hokkaido falls into the hands of the Soviet Union, it will in turn become the front line of the core of Japan, even if the troops are stationed in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States will not be at peace.”

“How about that, are you guys feeling whimsical or?” Philby looked at his friend pausing for a moment waiting for a reply.

“Definitely not whimsical, on the contrary, I find it hard to believe that this is an administrative civil servant coming out of the colonies, and I’ll believe you when you say he’s been in the Foreign Office for years.” Burgess frowned tightly and solemnly, “But for the Japanese analysis?”

“I’ve checked, he was a student at the Oriental College, worked with his father in Xiangjiang, went to British India after the fall, and most importantly provided intelligence on Pearl Harbor.” Philby replied very seriously, “I can say that he knows the Far East very well.”

“Then it goes without saying that the information must be forwarded to the Soviet comrades at once.” Donald hammered on, “Shame on the greedy imperialists for not even bothering to pretend to be friendly.”
