Chapter 32
Find a way to send this civil servant that Mountbatten valued to Germany that is about to be defeated, follow the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and distribute post-war jobs in Germany with the Americans. These jobs will definitely add a lot of color to Alan Wilson's resume a sum.
For Mountbatten, the noble-born commander of the Southeast Asia theater, the wartime cabinet had an astonishing consistency in understanding. Both the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believed that Mountbatten was irreplaceable in coordinating joint operations of multinational forces.
Mountbatten's popularity, no matter among ministers or civil servants, is only good or better. Anthony Eden is also willing to make a favor and arrange this young civil servant to work suitable for gilding.
Alan Wilson was very busy. He had just returned to London, came out of Mountbatten's home, reported to the Ministry of Indian Affairs, and became a liaison between the Ministry of Indian Affairs and the Governor's Office of British India.
But this was exactly what he wanted, and he just needed to keep in touch with British India frequently, so he readily accepted the job. In his spare time, he went directly to the Oriental College of Oxford University and got back his student status. Although he has not yet determined when he will be able to graduate, as the calm of the European battlefield is coming, he believes that day is not far away.
After busying himself with his academic problems, Alan Wilson found an opportunity to exchange some pounds at the Royal Bank of Scotland, and then went to Mountbatten's home and introduced that he is currently the liaison officer of British India. If the mother and daughter If you want to contact your relatives in New Delhi, you can help.
With the gratitude of Mountbatten's wife and daughter, Alan Wilson still maintained his usual politeness and calmness, leaving a good impression on the mother and daughter.
A week after his return to London, Philby, still MI6, informed Alan Wilson that the Indian Office had decided to second him to the Foreign Office. I am currently in a busy state, so I am not working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the time being.
"This is really unexpected." Alan Wilson asked pretending not to know, "Is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs very busy?"
"I heard that the Red Army of the Soviet Union is attacking very violently. Maybe Germany will surrender at some point. I heard that there are indeed Germans who contacted the Allies in private to surrender." Philby continued after a moment of pondering, "Once Germany surrenders, maybe It will be more busy, order in the occupied area, communication with local Germans, etc., and many other things.”
Sterling is down! Alan Wilson heard that the war has reached this point, Germany has run out of fuel, and the national economy has already collapsed. If it does not rely on external food, it may be a problem to eat now.
Although the main participating countries in the world war, except for the United States, did not have a prosperous day, but it still depends on how miserable it is. The depression in London is much stronger than the devastated European continent.
"This is a great tragedy." Alan Wilson said solemnly with a solemn face, "Europe, the center of world civilization, has been devastated by two wars. I can imagine the great difficulties the Germans are facing now , if I have the chance to help them, of course I am willing to set off right away."
While the two were talking, the Battle of Berlin had actually been fought for several days. The Soviet army had concentrated 270 infantry divisions and cavalry divisions from three fronts including the First Belarusian Front Army, the Second Front Army, and the First Ukrainian Front Army. A tank army and a mechanized army, fourteen air armies, a total of 2.5 million troops, and another 2,400 aircraft, 14,000 artillery pieces, 1,500 tanks and self-propelled artillery launched the Battle of Berlin. .
The battle kicked off with an artillery bombardment, where thousands of artillery and Katyusha rockets began bombarding German positions, and the bombardment lasted for several days. The allied forces of the United States, Britain, France and other countries on the western front have already acquiesced in the occupation of Berlin by the Soviet Red Army.
Having heard Philby, Alan Wilson knew,
Once Germany officially surrendered, I would almost go to Germany.
"Actually, this is a very good opportunity. I have to admit that I even envy you a little bit. In your appointment, there is the role of General Mountbatten. Whether it is the minister of the wartime cabinet or the civil servants of various departments, General Mountbatten is the same as General Mountbatten. Very recognized." Seeing that Alan Wilson was silent, Philby said, "But I have one thing to remind."
"Reminder?" Allen Wilson was taken aback, and asked in a somewhat confused manner, is there anything that needs special attention?
Philby smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "Alan, although the war will end soon, it doesn't mean that the danger will disappear because of the end of the war. There may be many German soldiers who are unwilling to surrender in Germany. It’s dangerous, and the relationship between the Allied forces and the Soviets on the Eastern Front is a bit delicate, you know, as a commissioner of MI6, I don’t want my friend to fall into the eyes of some unknown countries.”
oh? Alan Wilson nodded knowingly, don't fall into the eyes of some unidentified countries? This unidentified country refers to the Soviet Union, right? With a long voice, "No way?"
He is a little Hyderabad commissioner, and he really admires Philby. How did the person in front of him manage to serve the Soviets while being loyal to the British Empire?
"Why not, our enemies can do anything." Philby said solemnly, "I am the commissioner of MI6, so I must be more vigilant, and at the same time I don't want You're being targeted, you're my friend after all."
Alan Wilson really wants to ask, is that your friend talking about yourself? As for the commissioner of MI6, if you weren't a commissioner of MI6, you wouldn't be able to cause so much damage to Britain.
But having said that, Alan Wilson is not disgusted with going to Germany. After all, Germany is an established power. If you dig for gold in the dung, if you find something, it will be enough for the Indian state. You can also exchange a little extra money!
What made Alan Wilson uncomfortable was that a Soviet spy talked about something in front of him, allegiance to the British Empire.
Is it tolerable or unbearable! Alan Wilson lowered his head for a moment, as if he suddenly understood Philby's words, "Yes, the German war machine must have many technologies and talents that the allies need. When I arrive in Germany, I will try my best to grab these talents."
Philby stared blankly, as if he was very surprised by Allen Weir's words, and said in a strange tone, "You're right, the Allied forces will definitely hunt down these German military workers. I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."
"I'll find a place to have a drink at night, and I'll also find some colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Seeing Philby's hurried back, Alan Wilson shouted, and saw Philby who didn't look back and waved. He raised his head and blinked, probably reporting to the Soviet Union, right?
