Chapter 73 A Small Goal

Blomfuss Shipyards Shipyard was not really badly damaged compared to downtown Hamburg. Most of the cranes are intact, just in a state of shutdown, which can not help but Allen Wilson some conspiracy theories, is not intentionally left behind, ready to plunder the technology, who knows that the British-occupied area is the essence of German industry.

Allen Wilson thought so when the side of the officer attached to the Navy is still taking pictures and records, will be the huge production base of the Blomfuss Shipyard photographed, the production line at least thirty unfinished new city submarines lying on the platform, but will never go out of the production line.

Alan Wilson eyed these behemoths of steel, part of the Third Reich’s black technology in the eyes of De Blow, now only a backdrop for the victors.

“How to restore normalcy to the British-occupied areas is an important factor in rejuvenating the economy of the homeland at the earliest possible date.” Alan Wilson had a feeling, not so much as to sympathize with Germany’s fate.

There was simply no time now for the British Empire to adjust slowly, as it traditionally did, with the time between World War I and World War II too close, and with an external environment in which the United States and the Soviet Union were a laughing stock and a life-and-death foe. Efficiency must now be prioritized as much as the Soviet Union, or as the saying goes, time is running out for Britain.

“Alan, what do you think should be done with these submarines?” Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Scott asked in a heartbeat when he saw Alan Wilson who was out of his mind.

“Immediately find the design drawings of these submarines and send them back to London for research. As for these unfinished submarines, dismantling them also requires money, and continuing to build them to completion likewise requires money. Only one has no return, and one can try to find a buyer.” Alan Wilson frowned, “If we dismantle the weapon systems and try to sell them to some small country with no production capability for a sum of money input is the best idea, of course the technology we will have to absorb before that.”

“Very optimistic indeed, in fact there would be a lot to be gained if we could actually sell these semi-finished products. It would solve some of the local unemployment problem, and we’d be able to make a profit to ease the economic pressure at home, but who would we sell it to?” Lt. Col. Scott shook his head with a bitter smile, “Could it be sold to the Indians?”

“Hmm!” Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, indicating that he wasn’t joking, as long as the Indian soil state can afford it, what can’t be sold, it’s better than giving the British warships to the Indians after the independence of British India. It would be better to give the German ships, at least they were scrapped beyond repair when they were used up.

“Alright, these unfinished submarines will be put aside for now, but you’re right about one thing, we should search for the design drawings of these submarines and send them back to Britain now.” Lt. Commander Scott regained his calm demeanor and took Alan Wilson’s reference only as a joke.

Allen Wilson who was still on Hyderabad’s payroll certainly wasn’t joking, to be honest Germany, although it had been destroyed, had the underpinnings of an industrial powerhouse, British India wasn’t completely devoid of industry, but it could be determined to be a purely agrarian country.

Do not think that more railroads prove that the country’s industrial base is good, the reason why Britain diligently built railroads in British India is entirely to improve the efficiency of looting, the good things out of British India, and the development of industry does not have the slightest relationship.

Such a pairing of an industrial country, and an agricultural country, reminds Alan Wilson of a term. The oil-for-food program in the midst of the Iraqi embargo. The oil-for-food program was created to alleviate the suffering of the Iraqi people under the United Nations mandatory economic sanctions and arms embargo sanctions against Iraq.

At first, Iraq was not convinced, but later on, was it not happy with the pain? The essence of the oil-for-food program is to allow Iraq, which is in a state of collapse, to restore a certain degree of livelihood, but this is completely controllable. It’s just turning a situation of total collapse into a boiling frog in warm water.

Once Iraq was slowly being weakened, when the time was right, the US simply took care of Saddam.

For the current German British Occupation, it’s really not that different from the colonies anywhere, if anything, it’s that the current German citizens of British Occupation don’t have as many rights as the Indians in British India.

Thinking about it, Alan Wilson suddenly felt that this is really a good thing, Britain centered in the middle of the link, with British Indian agricultural products to restore the order of the German British-occupied areas, and then with the restored factories in Germany, shipped to British India.

But this British India and the German British-occupied trade, is controlled in the hands of Britain, the two ends of the items transported out from where, the pricing right is in India. This is much more cost-effective than Britain sacrificing the lives of its citizens at home to restore peace to the German-occupied zone.

Britain, which dominated this trade, could also supplement itself in the middle of the process.

“Marshall Plan, Molotov Plan, the British Empire will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is left dry.” Looking at the British soldiers in the distance, Allen Wilson secretly fumed.

British India, even if it became independent, must stand the last watch for the British Empire. This Alan Wilson was uncompromising!

The first shipment of food sent by Alim is the first knock on the door, if it can temporarily ease the tension in Hamburg. Who’s to say that this couldn’t be the beginning of Britain coming up with a dominant program of its own.

Alan Wilson’s time is running out, a rough idea of the British-occupied zone, is going back to Berlin. Calling Alim out for a face-to-face, he said, “Now that German weapons are piling up and there are professional, World War-experienced officers who have been around for a few years, inform the Maharajah of Ali Khan of the situation here, and if he volunteers to do so in the middle of his next incoming telegram, I can help him make arrangements to do something about it.”

“There is still a great shortage of food in Europe, and more help is needed from Maharaja Ali Khan. As the Commissioner of Hyderabad, I will never let the monarch of Hyderabad suffer. That’s all for now, I have to rush back to Berlin.”

Once the plans for trade between the two sides of British India and German British Occupation are worked out, it will certainly not work here. The forces of the Foreign Office were at present in Berlin, and he had to go there to find a suitable opportunity for the idea to come out as a matter of course.

This two-way trade plan is in fact the same as the colonial approach of the British Empire, except that it becomes Britain’s seclusion behind the scenes, regulating the trade between German British Occupation and British India in the middle.

And the blood transfusion from British India to Britain cannot be stopped, and on this basis blood transfusion to Germany has to be made. But at the same time British India does not lose, the German citizens can eat enough on the line, manufactured products, handed over to the British pricing in the shipment to British India.

This is the British labeled industrial products, the price may also be lower, the original one hundred things, now sell ninety. And the original price of British products is fifty, now from the hands of the Germans out of only ten dollars, the profits in the middle of all to Britain.
