Chapter 33 Part 2
Through Philby, who was in the Great Britain and his heart was in the Soviet Union, he explained that he couldn't wait to go to Germany to rob talents. Of course, this was intentional.
As for why it was revealed to Philby, it wasn't that Alan Wilson suddenly became possessed and decided to dedicate his life to internationalism.
In the final analysis, it is still for the consideration of the British Empire. In the history of the talent grabbing war after Germany's defeat, the United States is undoubtedly the biggest winner. With the Soviet system and the deep blood feud between the Soviet Union and Germany, German talents are eager to serve the Soviet Union. fear.
The Soviet Union did not react at the beginning, and was taken the lead by the United States, Britain and France. By the time it reacted, most of the talents had already fallen into the hands of the United States, Britain and France. The factory makes up for the loss, and the talent it grabs is better than nothing.
On the side of the United States, Britain and France, the United States has taken the greatest advantage. Britain and France are no longer as attractive as the United States after the war.
Alan Wilson gave the Soviets a reminder through Philby because he knew history in his head. Even Stalin in this era may not have known to him what price the Soviet Union paid in this world war.
The Soviet Union chose not to publish censuses after the war, and did not recount them until the 1950s and 1960s, reporting that 27 million people died in the war. This is the number of deaths, while China's 35 million people are the number of casualties, and China's population base is also larger.
Soviet casualties are estimated at 70 million, while the Soviet Union, not counting the three Baltic states it annexed, had only 160 million people. Excluding half of the female population here, the Soviet Union has reached an extremely weak level.
At the end of the war, except for a powerful Soviet Red Army, the Soviet Union could not be compared with the United States in any angle. Fortunately, the Americans had just seen the throne of world hegemony and had not yet come out of their original thinking.
If Britain and France were in the environment and status of the United States, and the old imperialist thinking broke out, they might destroy the Soviet Union without hesitation. The Americans still have not deteriorated, and they are too timid in this regard.
Leaking out the talent robbing, Allen Wilson just wanted to balance the strengths of the Soviet Union and the United States. If it can slow down the rocket technology of the United States for a year and a half, it will be considered a success.
Somewhat sadly, Alan Wilson can only do this through this way of capitalizing on the enemy. If important German talent falls into the hands of the British, it is almost as good as falling into the hands of the Americans.
At this time, the United Kingdom will not fall out with the Americans because of a few military industrial talents. Once the Americans put pressure on them, even if the British obtain talents in this field, there is a high probability that they will eventually fall into the hands of the Americans.
Britain may not be able to stay, but the Soviet Union can be an enemy. If it is strong enough, he would rather be an enemy with the United States.
As the liaison officer of the Ministry of Indian Affairs to British India, he was also temporarily seconded to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Allen Wilson's working relationship remained in the Ministry of Indian Affairs for the time being. Although he had just returned to London not long ago, he had already made a group of friends through the necessary social interaction in the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Indian Affairs.
As we all know, few officials who resigned from British India and returned to China are poor. Alan Wilson is completely in line with his personality, and soon he was welcomed by many Whitehall civil servants. Who is going to Europe?
Shuttle back and forth among the civil servants of the two departments, this is how the network is established! During the war, such a man who had just returned from a rich colony was of course welcomed by many people.
Philby also came to the reception and brought a person, and introduced to Alan Wilson, "Alan, this is my friend. Let me introduce I Francis Burgess, who used to be a BBC broadcaster. Now I also work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! The opportunity is rare, maybe he will be like you sometime,
Went to work abroad.
"Hello, I heard Philby talking about you." Burgess reached out his hand and shook it with Alan Wilson.
Alan Wilson also took the initiative to extend his hand, feeling a little tired, another one! A member of the Cambridge Five, Philby is definitely the best in terms of family background. Philby's father is an earl.
Although the ranks of titles in Western Europe are similar, the gold content varies from country to country. The great nobles in France are all dukes, and the noble marquises in Germany are already very rare. The British side is more strict, and the earl is already considered a powerful and influential existence in the upper class.
Although the Mountbatten family was born as a prince, this prince is a German title, not a British title. Except for the Prince of Wales, the remaining princes in the UK are just titles, not real status. Earls are already rare.
When Burgess was studying in Cambridge, he became the most active member of the most famous "Cambridge Apostolic Society" in Cambridge University at that time, and the privileged "Pitt Club" with many members of noble children. With his innate communication skills, he Become the most attractive person in these student associations.
"I just heard that a very interesting person came back from India, and today is the first time we meet. Europe is still relatively dangerous, so you must be careful when you go to Germany." Compared with Philby, Burgess seems very natural Familiar, he knew many people, and he entered the crowd after a while.
Philby sat at the table of Alan Wilson, chatted with a glass of wine, "Any clues about the departure?"
"I haven't received a specific explanation yet, so I have nothing to say." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "But from my personal point of view, the task is of course to disintegrate the German war machine. Among the German military industry, I think the most The important thing is the rocket field and some novel weapons that appeared at the end of the war. These weapons may not be mature, but once the relevant information reaches us in the UK, they will be more mature in development."
"There is also the weapons and equipment left over from the war, whether it should be destroyed and sealed up or something." Alan Wilson stopped and said embarrassedly, "This is all my personal idea, and I still need to wait for the department's planning."
"That's true. In fact, it doesn't need to be perfect. Being able to participate in it is already a rich resume." Philby said indifferently, "Maybe dealing with people from allied countries will cost you a lot energy."
Um! Alan Wilson nodded in approval, but he didn't know who the allies Philby was referring to.
