Chapter 621 The Founding of the Federal Republic of Germany

Does Britain have this ability to make peace between the United States and France, of course it does, because we are only halfway through nineteen fifty-one, and Britain’s using last year’s figures as a reference, Britain’s share of the world’s manufacturing exports is twenty-five percent, its steel production is fifteen percent of the world’s production, and it is thirty-three percent of the world’s total shipbuilding tonnage.

Since the Korean War, Britain has also beefed up the size of its garrison in Germany, adding two heavy divisions. Not to mention the fact that Kalimantan Britain is also joining the Dutch army in rounding up Indonesian infiltration forces.

Regarding the list of British spending in Southeast Asia, the British representative also took it out. Anyway, this is what Alan Wilson reported. Detailed data approved by Whitehall.

Alan Wilson, who was in London, seemed to feel an inexplicable force of karma, making Pamela Mountbatten, who was picking out a wedding dress, wonder and ask what was wrong.

“I don’t know!” Allen Wilson shook his head, not realizing that the garrison spending he had created had become evidence for the United States, Britain, and France in Bonn on negotiations. Had he known this he would have made it a little more tense.

If necessary, he could have manufactured the financial expenditure of Malaya for the next ten years now, guaranteeing deficits year after year.

“Scared me!” Pamela Mountbatten in her wedding dress spun around and asked with a big smile at Alan Wilson and Princess Margaret, “How is it, does it look good?”

“The dress is still inferior compared to the person.” Alan Wilson commented in a serious manner, “I have always said that any clothes are external factors, and the person itself still needs to pass the innate conditions.”

“Just know how to say nice things.” Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and turned to look in the mirror again and muttered to herself, “I’m still satisfied anyway.”

With that death, she pulled Alan Wilson over to her and examined the suit the man was wearing, pondering whether or not she should change it. This scene caused Princess Margaret to become more and more aggravated.

It was hard to get the wedding dress finalized, so Pamela Mountbatten took Alan Wilson, the toolman, to meet her parents. The two had already decided to hold the wedding on August 23rd, and the many guests had already been notified, and wanted to discuss with Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten whether there was still anything left out.

“Father, mother, and I have already found a photographer to film the wedding for a souvenir, but of course we don’t have any desire to broadcast it live. The filming is to make a good memory.”

Pamela Mountbatten recounted the day’s plan’s and then looked over at Alan Wilson, who exemplified the good toolman’s paradigm by nodding his head with a look of recognition.

“You’ve known each other for five years!” Mountbatten face with a color of reminiscence, at that time there was still a colony called British India existed, of course so think of it a little inappropriate, spoke, “I do not have a lot of guests, just a few ministers of the sea, the generals of the military, the three army chiefs of staff, and some people from the defense committee. Not counting family members there are only a few dozen people.”

“Companies with business dealings, about a dozen or so, will be traveling to Westminster Abbey by then.” Edwina Ashley said she wasn’t going to invite too many people either.

The couple, reserving the main invitation slots for the aristocracy, along with eldest daughter Patricia Mountbatten.

Westminster Abbey has always been the place of choice for upper class weddings, and the Mountbattens held their wedding there, and it was very convenient, the Palace of Westminster sits on the banks of the River Thames, and is the largest Gothic building in the world, it’s the UK’s Houses of Parliament, where Parliament’s House of Lords and House of Commons are housed, and it’s the center of power in the UK.

At least Alan Wilson’s colleagues in Whitehall could easily come over to attend the wedding without delaying their work.

While the family was discussing, Princess Margaret couldn’t help but feel a sense of envy, such a family atmosphere was something he hadn’t experienced. Pamela Mountbatten recalled the past of the two of them, and even more so, Princess Margaret was languidly mesmerized.

“When I met Alan at the time, I thought this was a future bureaucrat.” General Mountbatten sighed, “Obviously so young, his face looked like it was written to be an official, then of course I had to be on guard. It’s also for the purpose of protecting my daughter.”

“You almost drove Pamela’s happiness away!” Edwina Ashley said with a note of reproach, “There is nothing wrong with being an officer; Ellen is already a civil servant, so is it hard to think that she would have to go into the army on purpose in order to prove love?”

Princess Margaret’s face was a little cloying, was this family connoting her brother-in-law, Prince Philip?

But this man will soon become her own brother-in-law as well! Princess Margaret thought so in her heart.

Alan Wilson, of course, had no idea that half of his sister-in-law’s ass had arrived and was now waiting to be signed off on. In the midst of the last hours of his life as a single man, he had set out to enjoy the last of his bachelorhood by not missing a day of the reception before the wedding.

Of course this was all with Pamela Mountbatten’s approval; after all, no one wanted any unpleasantness before the end of a five-year love affair.

“I’d like to invite Turing!” Alan Wilson slapped his thigh and remembered an ill-fated genius, mentioning the man to Pamela Mountbatten and wanting to invite him to the wedding as well.

“No problem, I’ve heard he’s a very strict man.” Pamela Mountbatten balked, already having a tendency to be a husband and wife, and she did have a good impression of Turing.

If you mean austere in terms of men and women, there was really nothing wrong with that at all. Not so much in other areas!

Alan Wilson didn’t put words in his mouth, and before spending the last part of his life as a single man, the two traveled to the Emerald House, an estate that already belonged to the two of them, and together they dug up the treasures of the Roman Empire.

Alan Wilson even carried a gold coin with him as a souvenir, nothing to pose as a big shot in front of the equals, and it must be said it worked really well.

“In the summer heat, it can be a very good place to relax!” Into the emerald house, Alan Wilson issued a sigh of relief, taking advantage of Burma’s independence before the scavenging of the emerald, but also to a certain extent put to use.

In fact, this emerald house is more like an exhibition room, the two men built the manor residence, is built with ordinary materials. After all, really live down, no one wants to be covered in green every day. The emerald house was a display for the two to show their strength, not to actually move in.

“Speaking of summers, Australia’s summers are hard, I want to build another one.” Pamela Mountbatten voiced her desire and asked her man’s permission.

“I’ll communicate with Myanmar. It may have to wait though.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment and agreed, after all, Malaya was not far from Burma, and it was still very convenient to contact them.

On August 13th, the military chiefs of the United States, Britain and France ratified the new law in Bonn, and at the same time announced the law of occupation, the structure of the West German government was basically established, and the Federal Republic of Germany was established with Bonn as the capital of Germany.

With the participation of the representatives of Britain, the United States and France, West Germany adopted the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, which became the national day of West Germany. West Germany was established with Bonn as its capital, and the first Federal Government was formed with Chancellor Adenauer.

The news of the official establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany triggered a huge backlash from Moscow, which claimed that it was the United States, Britain and France that had broken the Yalta Agreement and illegally set up the coalition government.

Moscow’s strong backlash also aroused opposition from pro-Soviet forces in Europe, which saw the move as putting all of Europe in danger. No one but Alan Wilson knew that the emergence of the Federal Republic of Germany was already more than two years behind history.

Now that the Korean Peninsula had just passed the most intense stage, the Americans could not wait to strengthen the defense forces of Europe. It was already inevitable.

The United States in 1945 could still be persuaded, because Washington at that time had not yet adapted to the role. But the Washington of 1951 was already completely different from what it had thought in 1945.

Because of the emergence of the Federal Republic of Germany, Europe once again attracted the attention of the whole world. The wind overshadowed the war in the Far East!

And at this time in Washington, was packing for the travel of Senator McCarthy, was intended to be to participate in the wedding of Allen Wilson. Instead, he was called over by the Republican Central Committee. In the midterm elections, the Republican Party has taken back the Congress, and now the biggest goal is to bring down the Democratic Party, ending the fact that for a long time the Democrats led the United States.

To that end, the Republicans were looking for heavyweight candidates, and Taft, a Republican, told McCarthy that the reason Truman had pushed for the formation of the Federal Republic and had gone out of his way to anger the Soviet Union to do so might have been for the sake of the election.

Politicians have nothing in their heads but elections, Taft said, and McCarthy was quick to agree. Senator McCarthy, who was on his way to London to attend his best friend’s wedding, was given a diplomatic mission on an unofficial level to inquire about London’s reaction to the affair.

After all, this wedding was a good opportunity to communicate with British politics, and Taft thought the occasion more appropriate. It might be possible to achieve some informal results.

“My friend is a senior civil servant in Whitehall, and with the Mountbatten family involved, I agree that this is a good opportunity.” McCarthy balked, Taft was a big Republican conservative, a former president as well as the son of the Supreme Judge, and the big man’s regard filled McCarthy with energy.

“I hope that this journey of Senator McCarthy will cement the special relationship between Britain and the United States. At this time, the United States is also in need of British and French support in European affairs.” Taft nodded approvingly, and in a tone of I’m looking out for you, wished McCarthy a safe journey and the ability to use the wedding as an opportunity to express goodwill with British politics.

Because of what happened in the Federal Republic of Germany, a Soviet backlash was to be expected, it was just a matter of when it would begin.
