Chapter 146 Hepburn
If you get benefits, you will definitely feed back with greater benefits. This is the spirit of contract that Allen Wilson pays attention to. It is different from the dewy relationship between most of the occupying forces and German women. He really wants Sister Isabella to live a happy life. Good day.
"You big companies in Germany during the war will not fall down so easily. Once they arrive, Germany's post-war reconstruction will be out of the question. In three to five years at most, these big German companies may fall Get support, don't hold on tightly to the benefits your sisters get from the Hellman Tobacco Factory, you can use the funds in your hands to hold shares in these companies."
Allen Wilson's face was full of gentleness, like a husband who was about to leave home, explaining to his wife how to deal with the trivial matters of life, which moved the two dragoons, at least he thought so.
"Are you going to leave for a long time? If you leave, will other people bully us?" Isabella Bokina looked gentle, showing her unwillingness to part with her, but she couldn't express her persistence.
I have to say that the two talented characters played Alan Wilson, an amateur MI6 agent who boasted of his experience in many battles, around the corner, patronizing the fighting spirit of a member of the British occupation army from beginning to end. Find out what's unfathomable about the two pseudo-dragons.
Alan Wilson, who was unprepared, said whatever he had, saying that he didn't want to leave British India at first, but had to go because of some unexpected reasons, and he kept trying to go back after he came back.
"Aren't you coming back?" Anna, who was standing as a miserable lover, asked insincerely.
"Of course I will come back, I will find a way to keep in touch with you." Alan Wilson pulled the two dragoons into his arms, maybe this is love, and even the little brother has begun to swell, greeting the two dragoons.
When Allen Wilson left Bonn, Isabella Bokina got up very early, carefully prepared breakfast, and went to the room to wake up Allen Wilson and Anna after finishing everything. It was another night of fierce fighting, and the two sisters His vigor was not affected at all, and Alan Wilson was only slightly tired.
The breakfast time was very warm, and the three of them knew that this was the time for parting, and they all had a tacit understanding and did not say anything sad. It wasn't until Allen Wilson got into the car with his bag under his arms that Anna, who had been watching the house, came back to his senses, "He's gone, what should we do now?"
"Do our business and do our part for the reconstruction of Germany." Isabella Bokina said with a pun, "Didn't he say that he is good at using the funds of the tobacco factory to help some famous Germans?" Big companies will definitely take advantage of the trend in the future, and having money will be more beneficial to our business."
What do we want money for? Anna didn't understand, but immediately thought of another question, if she gave birth to a child, the nominal Hellman family property,
Do you and Alan Wilson's children have priority inheritance rights? It's a pity that this kind of problem is not taught in school, and Gazner's education has limitations.
Due to careful consideration, Alan Wilson should have prepared ten exhaustive plans, one hundred backup plans, and countless on-the-spot plans, but in fact there were none. Tired of fighting day and night.
He will follow the Rhine all the way to Rotterdam and then on to Brussels, the Belgian capital. If the Netherlands and Belgium have anything in common, it is that both have caught up with the colonial era, but they are not the biggest beneficiaries of the colonial era.
The peak of the Netherlands is undoubtedly the era of the sea coachman. After independence, it vigorously developed capitalist industry and commerce, commerce, marine transportation, and financial industry. It soon became a powerful country in Western Europe.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Netherlands once dominated the world with the most developed shipbuilding industry and navigation technology in the world. Naturally, it was also looking for colonies all over the world. With the rise of its economy and maritime power, the Netherlands came from behind and competed At the pace of grabbing colonies and trading bases, it quickly surpassed Spain and Portugal. Much of the territory that originally belonged to these two countries fell into the hands of the Netherlands.
Later, the Netherlands failed in the Anglo-Dutch War. In the final analysis, the local economy and population had upper limits. In the process of colonial competition, it was indeed impossible to compete with Britain and France.
Although the Netherlands did not stay out of it like World War I during World War II, the war lasted only five days, and the price paid was already very small compared to other European countries.
Isn't the Netherlands now anxious to return to Asia like France? And Belgium, the location of this important meeting, is also an important member of the colonial empire family.
This Brussels meeting is Alan Wilson's greatest contribution to history so far. Whether Europe can maintain complete or partial independence depends on what kind of results this meeting can achieve.
Before arriving in Rotterdam, Alan Wilson disembarked in Arnhem, the Netherlands, where he stopped halfway, had a little meal, and even watched a ballet before re-boarding to continue his journey.
Alan Wilson was leaning on a chair on the deck, holding a newspaper he just bought from Arnhem. Although he couldn't understand it, it was good to look at the illustrations. At this moment, a middle-aged woman asked politely, "This Sir, is there anyone here, can we take a break?"
"Please!" Behind the picked up newspaper, Alan Wilson's eyes were exposed, and after saying a word, the newspaper immediately returned to its original state.
A second later, the newspaper that was picked up again was swiped and put down again. Alan Wilson stared at the girl behind the middle-aged woman. This face? He will never admit his mistake! Audrey Hepburn's appearance kills both Chinese and Western Audrey Hepburn.
"This gentleman?" Hepburn's mother noticed Alan Wilson's abnormality and said in English, "I don't know, where are you going?"
"Oh, I'm going to Brussels. I have official business." Alan Wilson showed the gentleman style of Oxford University, restrained his usual hard-hitting true temperament, and his tone was gentle, making it easy to believe in himself.
Although Alan Wilson is not particular about etiquette, he has received relevant education, especially at work. I have seen civil servants in British India, who are more particular about their style than the locals, so it is not embarrassing to imitate , as if it should.
During this process, Alan Wilson controlled his eyes with strong willpower, so as not to scare Audrey Hepburn, he brought his speaking skills to a higher level, and introduced his own body in just a few words. , and showed that he himself is not very old, with a correct attitude and a humble tone.
"I didn't expect Mr. Allen to have so much work experience at his age." Hepburn's mother was very surprised. Although Allen Wilson didn't deliberately show off his wealth, the watch and decent suit on his body were still impressive. Come out, the family conditions are very good.
It depends on how to say it. If you consider the ancient documents obtained from India, it is more than good. If only considering the negligible remuneration in the British-occupied area, it is also an astronomical sum for ordinary people.
When it comes to the Germans, Hepburn's mother obviously has a bad attitude, and the family's decline has a huge relationship with the Germans. Alan Wilson also forgot the romance in Bonn, and strictly enforced his and the position of the British Empire, and the punishment of Germany must be carried out.
"Since I'm not old enough to be called Mr., just call me Alan. Dear Madam, your daughter looks lighter." Alan Wilson brought the topic to Audrey He himself with a very mellow turning point. , which is not obtrusive.
Then there was Hepburn's mother's bloody complaint against the Germans. During the German occupation of the Netherlands, due to rumors that Hepburn's mother's family had Jewish ancestry, the originally very wealthy baron family was regarded as the enemy of Germany. Not only was the property confiscated by the occupying army, Audrey · Hepburn's uncle was executed.
The Hepburn mother and daughter were forced to live a life of poverty: for several years, because of the lack of food, Hepburn could only often eat tulip bulbs and drink a lot of water to fill his stomach. Long-term malnutrition contributed to her thin figure in the future.
"Damn Germans!" Alan Wilson was filled with righteous indignation, acting like a messenger of justice. Then he changed the subject and said that he was working in the British-occupied area. He also saw that ordinary German women in the British-occupied area are suffering very much. War is not good for all the countries involved.
And the Trade Council of the British-occupied area where I belong is inspired to carry out the post-war reconstruction of Germany. When Alan Wilson told the story, of course he did not forget to instill private goods, saying that the American soldiers in the American-occupied area were always in chaos and eventually abandoned, and the French-occupied area The fact that only the British-occupied area is rebuilding in good faith.
The Hepburn mother and daughter nodded frequently, and Alan Wilson said that the war will eventually go away, and peace and prosperity will surely come to Europe.
Trivial matters like the Brussels meeting could not stop a gentlemanly imperial civil servant from performing exceptionally well on the Rhine.
As time went by, Alan Wilson gained the trust of Hepburn's mother and daughter, and narrowed the distance between the two parties to a moderate degree.
"London is a bustling city. I have been there before the war, but now my memory is a little fuzzy." Audrey Hepburn finally joined the topic, saying that her dream is to be a ballet dancer and go to London for further studies.
"Oh, what a girl with dreams. If you need help in London, just ask." Alan Wilson wrote down his address and handed it to Audrey Hepburn.
The passenger ship continued to sail, and Alan Wilson's journey continued. After disembarking, Audrey Hepburn said to her mother, "This Englishman looks really nice."
