Chapter 118 Tier 4 Tactical Jazz Version

At the same time, there is also the restoration of the British-occupied area. The British-occupied area in Germany has the Ruhr area, the core of German industry. How important is the Ruhr area? If it is based on Germany in World War I, the Ruhr area occupies 59% of Germany's industrial production capacity. Once the Ruhr area is destroyed, Germany will be finished. up.

At that time, the other three major industrial areas in Germany, including the Silesian industrial area, accounted for only 41%.

Not to mention that now, the Saarland is occupied by France, and France will merge the Saarland into France, and the Silesian industrial zone is already owned by Poland.

For Germany in 1945, the Ruhr area was almost everything in Germany. As long as the British-occupied area can achieve prosperity, it will soon affect the whole of Germany.

The general restorative development does not have such a fast speed. If you want to quickly reverse the situation, except for the rich and powerful United States, you can only learn from the wartime planning and development of the Soviet Union.

If history remains unchanged, the British Empire now has three years to independently carry out recovery production in the British-occupied areas.

If you consider the independence time of British India, there are only two years left, but if Alan Wilson can return to British India, he will try his best to delay the independence of British India. Of course, this will require 100,000 British The cooperation of Indian civil servants.

Whether the restoration of the British-occupied area can be effective or not depends on the British occupation forces. Before the Potsdam Conference started, the British commander-in-chief Montgomery, who received honors and honorary citizens everywhere, issued a "Report to the British Occupation The German People's Book of the District states: "The harvesting of crops must be actively carried out, transportation facilities must be rebuilt, and postal and telecommunications services must be restored."

"Certain industries must continue to operate. . . . The German people shall obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief and engage in the production of the necessities of life for the entire region and restore the economic life of the country."

It can be seen that this British-occupied area, which has belonged to the United Kingdom since the Yalta Conference, is also extremely important in the eyes of the London government. Now the occupied areas of various countries are in the state of military government. In terms of efficiency, the military government should be the model that can best use this advantage.

The areas occupied by the Western Allies are free to travel, but they are still not allowed to enter the Soviet-occupied areas. Only in Berlin was there nominally free movement between the districts of the Allies.

Since the occupied areas of Britain, the United States and France can travel freely, it depends on who can restore the occupied areas first. It is second to none in the Shikoku-occupied area.

Alan Wilson also listed a list of famous German companies during World War II, Krupp, Henschel, Mauser, Mercedes-Benz, Rheinmetall, Siemens, Bayer, Carl Zeiss, Thyssen, Messerschmidt, Volkswagen, Opel and so on the name of the thunder.

And now these world-renowned German companies are lying in the ruins of the Ruhr area, waiting for someone to rescue them.

The value of these famous companies that supported the German war machine during the war also fell to the bottom when Germany was defeated. In the eyes of Alan Wilson, even if it is gold mining, the British-occupied area is the most valuable one.

In fact, Edward Bridges, the cabinet secretary who returned to London, was also planning how to be a middleman.

Edward Bridges himself is not very interested in the dual-track price system.

But after Prime Minister Attlee came to power and revealed his views on the future status of British India, Edward Bridges began to really pay attention to this plan.

The reason why he finally agreed to send Yugoslav refugees to Rhodesia when he was in Germany was because he wanted to deter South Africa and make the Boers who were about to move more honest.

Nominally, South Africa is still a colony of the British Empire, but after World War II, South Africa's attitude towards London seems to have undergone subtle changes.

How did the world powers rank during this time period? Actually it is like this,

The United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, France and South Africa, this is the ranking of the world's national power in 1945.

It seems that the British Empire is still very powerful, occupying three of the top six, but Canada still has a little bit of incense, and no one knows what will happen to the Boers who have always been rebellious.

While making plans, Edward Bridges met with Prime Minister Attlee and took Montgomery's telegram, "Dear Prime Minister, Montgomery's telegram mentioned some suggestions for the restoration of the British-occupied area."

"Oh, what good advice does our Marshal have?" Prime Minister Attlee scratched his smooth forehead and asked.

Edward Bridges pushed his glasses, and said calmly, "Currently, the British-occupied area is maintaining order through the British occupation forces and the released German soldiers. The effect of maintaining order is very significant, but we must Admittedly, there are not many options for the military to restore the economy. Therefore, Marshal Montgomery meant that he wanted to establish a civilian government, but this matter should not be rushed, because if we look for such civilian personnel in Germany now, almost everyone Having worked for Hitler, we cannot guarantee that these people are credible."

After listening to Edward Bridges' narration as if singing, Prime Minister Attlee nodded and asked, "Sir Edward, you mean that there is a lack of personnel management in the British-occupied area."

"That's right, respected Prime Minister." Edward Bridges said softly, "The current situation in Germany, every time there is a delay, the Germans in the occupied areas will be in pain for a while, so I have a plan, The Prime Minister can take a look."

When Prime Minister Attlee looked at the plan, Edward Bridges explained to Attlee, "This is a phased plan. In the first stage, the commander-in-chief of the military region has assumed the management through his military government team. The various responsibilities of the military government. In the second stage, a group of regional administrative committees should be trained to replace the commander of the military region as the head of the military government. In the third stage, the commander of the military region ceased to perform the duties of the head of the military government. In the fourth stage, the military government The dispatched personnel will gradually give way to civilian personnel, whose numbers should be significantly reduced."

"When the four stages are completed, it is believed that the work of identifying German government personnel who did not commit crimes during the war will be completed, and the British Empire can then turn the job over to the Germans."

The fourth-order tactics of the cabinet secretary version were successfully passed by Prime Minister Attlee under the explanation of Edward Bridges. Edward Bridges, who came out of the prime minister's office, immediately ordered, "Two thousand civil servants from various departments and local governments will be dispatched to Germany."
