Chapter 160 Foggy London

"Actually, I am not completely at ease about your life in Bonn." Alan Wilson wrote his feelings on his face, and said in a roundabout way, "There is a saying that if you are not afraid of a thief stealing, you are afraid of the thief thinking about it. How I feel right now."

Isabella Bokina was startled, and it took a few seconds to realize that her sister was taken away by another man? It seems that only husbands have this kind of worry about their wives, right?

"No way!" Isabella Bokina comforted gently, if any man could take away two high-achieving students, it would be too small to underestimate the results of years of training.

There is another factor that Isabella Bokina is not aware of, and that is that Alan Wilson has already asked too high a price. So high that there will be no other person, so stupid to give such treatment.

Isabella Bokina's bottom line has been repeatedly broken, which has a huge relationship with the repeated re-betting of the imperial civil servants.

This would be fine in peacetime, but at this time, Germany is full of people who have nothing to do and need heavy labor to have a meal. This contrast is very strong.

She was able to become the head of the Bonn Women's Labor Bureau and run the most profitable Hellmann Tobacco Factory in Europe, thanks to the imperialist moth in front of her. This is an objective fact.

The current U.S. stock market is actually recovering. After all, the memory of the Great Depression is too tragic for Americans. The liquidation value of many stocks during the Great Depression was significantly higher than their stock price, and the stock market is only just beginning to slowly recover from the painful memory.

Alan Wilson remembers that the recovery of the U.S. stock market has a certain delay. During World War II, the prosperity of the United States was entirely supported by industry. This does not mean that ordinary Americans have forgotten the stock market crash during the Great Depression.

I still have doubts about the stock market. After the end of World War II, it was not until 1954 that the US stock market reached the high point before the Great Depression.

During World War II, the United States mainly involved pension funds and mutual funds in the stock market. During this period, modern institutional investors began to develop. In 1950, the number of mutual funds reached 98, with total assets of 2.5 billion US dollars.

At the end of World War II, 4 million employees, or 15 percent of the private sector workforce, were covered by pension plans. In 1950, 9.8 million employees, or 25 percent of the total workforce, were covered by pension plans. , while pension funds have gradually become the most important institutional investors in the stock market.

In fact, until the Vietnam War, the U.S. stock market could be said to be a good place to make money. However, Alan Wilson is not prepared to compete with Buffett for his job, as long as he grabs some top companies and holds shares.

Anyway, the Anglo-American family,

Alan Wilson borrowed from the U.S. stock market to do some investment business reasonably and legally. I believe no one can say anything.

"Pamela Mountbatten's mother seems to be very rich." Alan Wilson touched his chin. As a public servant of the people, he couldn't have any obvious connection with money, but Pamela Mountbatten was fine.

The most important preparation for returning to British India this time is to take back the proceeds from the Hellmann Tobacco Factory.

Judging from Alan Wilson's life experience in British India, civil servants in British India are generally more greedy than local civil servants, otherwise there would be no general opposition to the independence of British India.

If British India became independent, how could there be such a big plate for them to open their gluttonous mouths?

At present, the important task of Alan Wilson returning to British India is to clearly tell his colleagues in British India that time is running out, fast forward to the last supper, and there will be no more shops after passing this village.

Only by bringing back an appropriate portion of the profits of the Hellmann Tobacco Factory can the fighting spirit of British Indian civil servants be stimulated in the shortest possible time, so that there will be no problems in work efficiency.

At this point, Alan Wilson has no selfishness, only infinite loyalty to the British Empire.

Isabella Bokina came forward and found many owners of German companies, and held a farewell ceremony for Alan Wilson, who is about to be promoted, "Mr. The contribution to the restoration of order in the British-occupied areas will be appreciated by all Germans, and let us wish the Anglo-German friendship never fades."

"Why is there a bit of Ursula von der Leyen's sense of sight?" Although Alan Wilson is the protagonist, he did not stand out on this occasion. He is not a politician and does not need to perform for votes.

Seeing Isabella Bokina, who was able to handle many German business representatives with ease, he couldn't help but think of another German female politician, Ursula von der Leyen, the future president of the European Commission.

It's not that there is any prejudice against Merkel, the main reason is that the personal image can't be matched, and the German dragoons also have different types.

After finishing the crowning article, Isabella Bokina asked Alan Wilson to speak with an expression of asking for my lover, with the explicit and implicit meaning, don’t think that if my man is gone, you can stop treating me as thing.

"I have learned a lot from coming to Germany this time, and I am very impressed by the diligence of the German people, especially the tenacity shown by women in the reconstruction project." Alan Wilson said a few politically correct words dryly, "I I believe that within three to five years, Germany will return to its former prosperity, and I hope we will never break out of war. We are all Europeans and should unite in this difficult time."

"I hope Europe will resume prosperity as soon as possible." Allen Wilson gave Isabella Pokina a sideways glance. He was dragged out of the stand even though he was about to leave. Didn't he consider the face of the imperial civil servants? Not killing two birds with one stone tonight will not be enough to make up for Alan Wilson's damaged reputation.

Degenerate Western Civilization! Alan Wilson pulled the little brother who had bowed his head, and stood up surrounded by two dragoons, ushering in a new day.

The day of leaving is getting closer and closer, and Alan Wilson feels a little bit reluctant, but for the sake of his dream, he still has to start again with full enthusiasm. Alan was not born in the sky, and India is like a long night.

"Shall we send you off?" Isabella Bokina casually put on a men's shirt and stood up without buttons. The plump pair was not covered at all, just exposed to the air. Anna was covered by a quilt, and looked at Alan Wilson with a pair of big eyes, without speaking.

Swallowing with difficulty, Allen Wilson firmly moved his eyes away and said, "No need! You guys live well is the greatest comfort to me."

"My sister and I will send you to Hannover. People in your country don't know about it." Anna, who has been standing up and not cooperating with the character design, said, "I won't follow you back to London!"

Alan Wilson was surprised, but immediately swelled up. It seems that Sister Anna has no resistance to her.

In the end, Alan Wilson made an impromptu decision to go back to China by boat, so as not to burden the busy aviation industry, and maintain the tradition of thrift. After all, the gold box is not easy to carry, so it is more convenient to take a boat.

This is the hard-earned money of the Yugoslav people. I wish I could break off the gold teeth and hand them over to Alan Wilson for safekeeping. If they were lost, he would not be able to afford the responsibility.

"The air in London is still worse than that in Europe." Arriving in London, he looked up at the dark sky, and Alan Wilson missed the birds and flowers in the British-occupied area. Germany's industry has been completely destroyed. Worry about any environmental protection issues, the absolute original ecology, not much worse than Africa.

Looking at London again, the sky does not show its original color, and it is completely a performance of a backward country, which should be condemned.

Alan Wilson seems to remember that there was a pollution incident in London that caused a large number of casualties, and then the industrial pollution was cleaned up.

It happened in 1952. The sky over London was affected by an anti-cyclone. Exhaust gas from a large number of factories and residents burning coal for heating was difficult to diffuse and accumulated over the city. London was shrouded in thick smog, traffic was paralyzed, and pedestrians groped forward cautiously.

Citizens' lives have not only been disrupted, but their health has also been severely compromised. Many citizens experienced discomfort such as chest tightness and suffocation, and the morbidity and mortality rates increased sharply.

It was not until a strong and cold westerly wind blew away the smog that enveloped London that the life in London ended. More than 4,000 people died because of the smog incident that month.

In fact, London has always been like this, but the number of deaths in 1952 was too many, which does not mean that the air quality in London is usually good.

Take the present as an example, the weather has turned cooler, and the use of coal in London has increased significantly. In the eyes of Alan Wilson, who has just returned from Europe, this contrast is very obvious.

After collecting the hard-earned money of the Yugoslav people, Alan Wilson went to Mountbatten's house without hesitation. Going to Whitehall came second.

"There is news from Whitehall that Louis is going back to Europe." Edwina Ashley mentioned her husband, obviously missing her husband in the Far East very much. It's not that he didn't go to British India during the war , just because I also shouldered the responsibility, I didn't stay in New Delhi for too long, and I returned to London.

Was it so easy to go to British India during the World Wars? Old Versailles!

Allen Wilson replied politely, "That's really good news, Madam can be reunited with her husband."

Not to mention that General Mountbatten's order to return to Europe is just a rumor, even if it is true, he will have to go back in a short time.

"I haven't seen him for almost a year, and the war is finally over." Edwina Ashley smiled gently, and then asked Alan Wilson, "Alan, you also returned to China to report on your work, right? "

"Yes, ma'am." Alan Wilson wondered to himself, what a coincidence, the place he was going to was British India.

After chatting about homework for a while, Alan Wilson bid farewell and was going to Whitehall to inquire about news.
