Chapter 42 The Symbol of Civil Servants
With a dull sound, the military plane that had been hovering over Berlin for a long time finally landed successfully. This made the pale Alan Wilson breathe a sigh of relief. He had even imagined that the military plane was armed by Germany who did not surrender, or by the Soviet Red Army.
The scene of the anti-aircraft artillery shooting down, but everything was fine after all.
"Why do you look so ugly?" Alful had already stood up. Seeing the frightened Alan Wilson, he couldn't help but tease, "It seems that we won't take a plane when we go to France, which is just right for you."
"It's far from safe now. We all know that air defense is against nine out of ten air defenses. Even if the air defense forces are well prepared, they will not shoot down more than 5% of the bombers each time. But this does not delay the bomber pilots.
He can't survive more than three months, because the air raid is not just one." Alan Wilson took several breaths to calm down, secretly sighing that he still had to avoid flying, and then he dragged two heavy suitcases off the plane.
Because of the Battle of Berlin, the entire city of Berlin was full of ruins. Although some of them had been cleared urgently, they only played a better-than-nothing role. Many tall buildings seemed to fall down with a slight push, and their shapes resembled Picasso's abstractions.
The painting is difficult to understand.
Together with the British soldiers who greeted them in Berlin, Alan Wilson and the other eight people found a place to rest. There were military camps of British soldiers around them, so safety was not a problem.
"How is the situation in Berlin now?" Alan Wilson asked the commander of this unit, who shrugged and said, "Actually, we have just arrived for a day, and we are not familiar with many things. But we have been very welcome.
, the residents of Berlin seemed frightened by the Soviets."
"Then we shouldn't sympathize with them. Who allowed them to provoke the war and then lose it? The Soviets should treat them how they should be treated." Alan Wilson chuckled. He himself is a person who lacks sympathy.
Paris can pretend, even if France is a dubious ally, but there is no need to pretend in Berlin. In the atmosphere of victory at the end of the war on the European battlefield, at least for a short period of time, it is politically correct to severely punish Germany. As for the future,
, let’s talk again.
There is a reason why Berliners are afraid of Soviet soldiers. Just look at what the German soldiers did in the Soviet Union. It is reasonable for the Soviet Red Army to invade Berlin and carry out bloody revenge.
Some German thugs in later generations deliberately blamed the SS on the SS, which was sheer fart. Have all SS soldiers been to the Soviet Union? How could they cause more than 10 million civilian casualties in the Soviet Union with only 200,000 troops capable of fighting?
Even if the Soviet Union killed all 20 million Germans in the occupied areas and made these people disappear from the world, he would have no objection.
"This is a temporary residence. After we clean up the residential area, we will notify you to move there." After sending Alan Wilson to the place, the British second lieutenant gave a military salute and left.
"Wait!" Alan Wilson took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other party as a thank you.
"Thank you so much." The second lieutenant was overjoyed when he saw it. There is a shortage of supplies in Berlin now, let alone cigarettes. This gift was really an unexpected gift, and he accepted it with a smile.
The German mark is already a piece of waste paper, because order has collapsed, and all banknotes of any country have been implicated. Now the most valuable thing in Germany is no longer money, but cigarettes. In Germany, which has long been destroyed, cigarettes come from nowhere.
come out.
One cigarette can guarantee a person a full day of food and drinks. At that time, a large number of male laborers in the country were taken away. Women in Germany were also quite worthless. Two cigarettes could be exchanged for one woman.
Not long after, a group of guests arrived at the temporary residence. They were frontline reporters from major British newspapers who came to witness the German surrender ceremony. Many of them did not want to miss the historic scene and flew here specially from London.
When someone saw Alan Wilson in person, his expression became strange. Isn't this the diplomat who was reprinted by major domestic newspapers, the diplomat who traded French women's skin on the streets of Paris? But although not all of them were naked in the photo,
There are several French women with good figures...
"Gentlemen, what's wrong with you?" Alan Wilson, who was a little unbearable to be stared at by strange eyes, asked with a sullen face. He didn't even know that he had become the most famous civil servant in the UK and had a wide national popularity.
The photo of handing money to a Parisian woman has become a classic image representing the British Empire's civil service.
"It's okay, it's okay. We are just curious about Mr. Allen." One of the reporters wanted to ask how Allen Wilson was fixed on the image of buying sex on the streets of Paris, and whether he was really going to buy sex and was photographed. But as soon as
I wanted to ask directly but it was not gentlemanly to do so, so I decided to find an opportunity to ask in private later.
Many reporters asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whether there was a specific process, and Alan Wilson said that he was also waiting for notification.
When asked about the Soviet Union's destruction of Berlin, Alan Wilson said with a serious face, "At present, the Soviet Union and we are allied forces. On such a victorious occasion, it is not suitable to openly conflict. As for the destruction of Berlin,
I will only say one thing: Hitler was the democratically elected head of state of Germany, and it was the Germans who supported Hitler and led them to launch the war. When the snowy mountains collapsed, no snowflake was innocent."
As a diplomat with three correct views, Alan Wilson has made a clear position. He can act hypocritical to anyone, but not to the Germans. This is a matter of principle.
"For things like revenge, we in the UK do not retaliate against ordinary people. This is the gentlemanly demeanor of us British people. This is an honorable thing, but it is understandable if other countries want to vent their anger because of the invasion."
Alan Wilson praised his motherland and finally emphasized, "Another trivial reason is that the Soviet Union is not easy to mess with, and justice costs money."
The reporters all showed a look of understanding and agreed that for the sake of unity among the Allies, they should not cause trouble at this time. Their professional ethics could not allow them to lose sight of the overall situation at such a grand victory ceremony.
You said that you had already said that we could not afford to offend the Soviet Union. Didn’t everyone understand? You have to say that nonsense...
In the midst of the fun, the reporters from the UK said their goodbyes one after another. Alan Wilson also started to open the suitcase. He even took the wrong suitcase and opened the suitcase filled with a box of cigarettes. He looked around like a thief and quickly opened the suitcase.
I pushed it back and opened another similar box. There were a lot of things in this box. Except for half a box of cigarettes and a change of clothes, there were only documents that I hadn't had time to look at.
