Chapter 143 The BBC Will Not Bow to the Government

In Bonn, Alan Wilson received journalists from his own country and communicated on the report. In fact, it was not a particularly important thing, but to make the report closer to the facts.

Soft text has the benefits of soft text, but wouldn't it be more intuitive if data is added.

In front of the reporters belonging to different newspapers, there was a statistical data, which introduced the statistical data of the Military Commission on the ratio of men to women in the British-occupied area. The figures were absolutely shocking.

At present, the proportion of men and women in Germany is 46% and 54% for all age groups in the British-occupied area. Among a hundred people, there are eight more women than men. In fact, the problem is already very serious, but it seems that the problem is not serious when faced directly.

Then Alan Wilson took out another statistical report and distributed it to the reporters. This data is the current statistical data on the proportion of men and women aged 20 to 29 in the British-occupied area. In this report, The proportion of men and women aged 20 to 29 in the British-occupied area is 37% and 63%.

In other words, German men in this age group correspond to an average of sixteen German women. This is based on the premise that almost all the prisoners of war in the British-occupied area have been released. There is still a large camp in the American-occupied area. I believe that the population imbalance in the American-occupied area will only be more serious than that in the British-occupied area.

"Dear reporters, this is a common phenomenon in Germany at present, so it is unnecessary to be harsh on soldiers of the occupying army. Soldiers are also ordinary people. In the face of this situation, it will not help to use military orders to prohibit them." While reading the data, he said helplessly, "Everything lies in a balance. If there are too few men, even women will make trouble. By the way, I heard that there has been a wave of divorces in China recently?"

Alan Wilson's inquiry made many reporters very embarrassed, because the divorce wave in China is very turbulent, and the divorce rate has skyrocketed five times compared to before the war. The first thing many soldiers returning home after the war is to get divorced. The civil affairs department has become the busiest department in London now.

At the beginning, civil servants even mediated the divorce. Later, as the crowds waiting for divorce swarmed in, it was completely beyond the capacity of mediation. Since the return of soldiers from the British Expeditionary Force, tens of thousands of soldiers have chosen to divorce.

In the final analysis, the United Kingdom used it as a springboard to counterattack the European continent during World War II. In this way, the United States sent 1 million troops to the British mainland. From the perspective of the macro situation, the benefits to Britain are very obvious. They can no longer worry about the invasion of their homeland, and the British troops sent out can fight outside with peace of mind.

But the British soldiers who went out to fight led to a shortage of men in the UK. Just like the current British-occupied areas, the US military has been stationed in the UK for a long time, and many American soldiers have lived with British women.

Many of these women were the wives of British frontline soldiers,

Because her husband's life and death on the front line are uncertain, and American soldiers are guarding Britain at home, the two sides developed feelings over time.

In addition, the number of males in the UK is very small, so many British women choose to live with American soldiers.

Now that the British soldiers who went abroad to fight came back, of course they simply chose to divorce in the face of such a result.

However, Alan Wilson already knew about the wedding in Bonn, and the soldier who married the German girl was unmarried.

This is not unreasonable. I have no family, so I have no scruples in doing things. I would rather apply for discharge and be with the woman I love. Maybe it is really a very innocent love story.

"I believe that all journalists are sympathetic gentlemen. We should truthfully let our citizens know the plight Germany is facing. The accuracy of information has always been very important." Alan Wilson looked at the BBC reporter and said, "As the newspaper that citizens value most, the BBC should lead the way."

"Mr. Allen, you may be very young, and you may not be so clear about your work. Of course, the BBC has always maintained objectivity, neutrality and accuracy. This is out of the responsibility of media personnel, not political pressure. BBC I will not bow to the government's pressure." McHale, a BBC reporter in the British occupied area, raised his head slightly, expressing the integrity of a neutral media person.

Wow! Alan Wilson blew a whistle frivolously, asked his assistant Mark to type a stack of documents, and piled them up in front of McHale while flipping through them, introducing bit by bit, "How can a government that has always upheld the concept of freedom let The BBC is bowing its head, there is absolutely no censorship, McHale is overthinking."

"According to the summation from 1937 to 1945, there were 153 reports on the BBC sympathizing with Hitler, 35 of which were after the Battle of Britain."

"Many people are worried about the BBC's hostile attitude towards the government. It may be because there are German spies in the BBC who have climbed to high positions. The investigation of the BBC has also aroused discussions among the government. Of course, we still believe that there is no such thing."

"This is nonsense at all. During the war, the BBC has always reported things in good faith to maintain the national interests of the British Empire." Political pressure?"

Snapped! Reaching out his hand to take out the MI6 ID from his pocket and still on the table, Alan Wilson usually looked at the air in front of him and said indifferently, "I definitely didn't mean that..."

"Of course, from a professional point of view, accurate and close-to-implementation reports have always been pursued by the BBC. We want the public to see true reports." After seeing Alan Wilson's credentials, McHale said without embarrassment Rounding it out, "The role of the media is not to harm the public's right to know, so true reporting on the British-occupied areas is extremely important."

"It can also let the domestic public know how much painstaking efforts the trade committee and the military have spent on the reconstruction of the British-occupied area." The reporter of the Daily Telegraph sang one by one, "During this difficult period, the public and the government must tide over the difficulties together. .”

"Could it be to succumb to the pressure of the government?" Alan Wilson suppressed the contempt in his heart and asked knowingly.

"Pure nonsense, of course there is no pressure, and we will not bow to government pressure." All the newspaper reporters all spoke in unison, categorically denying it.

"That's good. I believe that all newspapers are in the interests of the British Empire. This is the case when facing a common enemy, uh, friends." Alan Wilson waved at Mark cryptically. These reporters Photos of business transactions with German women in the British-occupied area should not be shown.

These photos will destroy the tacit understanding between the government and the media, and they will be kept temporarily until the next communication with the media.

The report on this transnational wedding continues to be an explosive follow-up. After constructive discussions between the two parties, it was soon published in major newspapers, and many newspapers reported the matter with a sympathetic attitude.

Expressing that war is cruel, as the initiator of the country, a large number of German men died in battle. In the age group from 20 to 29 years old, the ratio of men to women is 37% vs. 63%. Ten men have to face Sixteen women of the same age.

"German women in this era are likely to die alone because of this war, and they will never find a life partner for the rest of their lives. The damage caused by the world war can be seen."

"With regard to the emotional issues between soldiers in the occupied areas and German women, purely military regulations will not help. As long as British soldiers can see German women, they will always be chased by local German women."

The yellow tabloids even reported this wedding with an inspiring headline, "Obviously the gentlemen of the British Empire have the excellent qualities that attract all German women, neither like the brutal and vulgar American soldiers nor the French soldiers Love is not fidelity enough, British men deserve to be welcomed by occupied women."

On the surface, these reports sympathized with the price Germany paid for launching the war, but in the context of the current wave of divorces in the UK, the divorced men who read these newspapers only remember the ratio of ten to sixteen men and women. In the eyes of men who have lost their families, Germany is now no less than a man's paradise.

Perhaps these men who have just paid the price of their families because of the war can find spiritual solace in another place and get counseling on love again.

Alan Wilson hooked up with reporters in the British occupation area, of course, not just to confirm the neutrality and objectivity of the report. That's just one aspect, and the other aspect, what he, a senior keyboard man and pen holder, is doing is to open a map cannon.

In terms of moral concepts and behavior. In terms of morality and ethics, the prominent difference is that Europeans are more tolerant, while Americans are narrower; Europeans are reasonable, while Americans are only rigid and conservative.

Europeans are rich in knowledge and connotation, Americans are arrogant and ignorant, Europeans respect tradition, Americans seem to be in a wild period, and as for the fact that they are uneducated and slovenly, I won’t say much.

At this stage, Alan Wilson found that the reporters of the major newspapers showed their professionalism all at once. He did not expect that there would be many crouching dragons and phoenixes in the small British-occupied area at the same time, which was really surprising.

I laugh at the fact that the United States has no strategy, and the Soviet Union has little wisdom. It can really be welcomed by European countries, and it is my British Empire.

Naturally, these map jokes will not appear in newspapers, but they will soon spread in the British-occupied area at an alarming rate.

"I'm going to Brussels to attend a meeting right away!" Alan Wilson touched Isabella Pokina's smooth back, feeling the wonderful touch, and leaned into the woman's ear and said, "Maybe I won't see you for a while."

"What do you want to say?" Isabella Bokina turned over and asked suspiciously.

"Actually, it's nothing." Alan Wilson was a little embarrassed, and secretly begged, "Can the three of you go together?"
