Chapter 34 Operation Ossawagen
Which definite enemy, the Soviets? Still that dubious ally America, oh, maybe France.
During the day, these people are the backbone of Whitehall and give orders to the entire British Empire. At the reception at night, what they say is no different from ordinary people in the market. There is no shortage of gossip mentality.
The technologies that Alan Wilson said were worth searching for in Germany are actually those, well-known rocket technologies, and black technologies inspired by certain desperate times.
Of course, most of the so-called black technology can be called defective products with immature technology. But the general direction is not wrong. For example, Germany is at the end of the road and applies semi-finished products to war regardless of the technology content.
Thinking of black technology, in fact, before the Soviet Union committed suicide, the giant ground-effect aircraft of the Caspian Sea monster, and the shark-class nuclear submarine larger than the average aircraft carrier, were much better than the semi-finished products leaked from Germany.
A powerful country must have the necessary technical reserves, but the losers will leak them out. If one day the United States, the rebellious son of the British Empire, is also unlucky, the leaked black technology may be even more terrifying.
However, in Alan Wilson's view, the biggest black technology in Germany is uniforms. With these uniforms, it has attracted countless legged soaps to sing praises for Germany. What an eloquent spirit.
It is more lethal than anything such as the "Giant Rat" super heavy tank, the "Silver Bird" aerospace plane, etc.
Burgess turned around and came back again, sat next to Philby, and asked Alan Wilson, "Your work achievements and risks are linked. Everyone knows that this is the time to go to the German-occupied area. It will be a brilliant stroke on the resume, but on the other hand, we can all imagine what the current continent of Europe looks like. Armies from the east and the west have swept across the entire territory of Germany. Germany was not good at agriculture, and Without supplements from overseas colonies, even food is a problem now.”
"Burgess is right." Philby nodded aside, "Even if Germany surrenders immediately, there is not much time left to start agricultural production. Tens of millions of Germans need to eat, which is a huge burden .”
It is now May, and Germany surrendered almost at this time in history. The farming season has passed, and even if it is planted now, it will not be able to grow in the second half of the year. Whether the Germans can have enough food depends entirely on the previous accumulation. No words were snatched.
"It seems that only the Americans can solve this problem." Allen Wilson said his thoughts in a daze.
Only the United States can solve the problem of feeding such a large population in this world. Although in the agricultural era, the United States, which was always harvested by the Arctic cold current, was not very good.
"It doesn't matter, I hope Allen is doing well, and if possible, help some poor people." Compared with Philby, Burgess is still more sympathetic, and idealistic people have this problem.
Alan Wilson also agreed very happily. He was going to do this. After all, he is a civil servant of the British Empire. This is a duty-bound thing.
After the reception, someone naturally paid the bill. A well-dressed man drove to pick up Alan Wilson. The civil servants of the two departments also left in twos and threes. They had an early rest and would continue to serve the British Empire tomorrow.
When I got home, Alan Wilson reached out his hand to let Ali Khan's housekeeper in London enter the room. As soon as he sat down, he asked directly, "I don't know how the majesty feels about my thoughts, can I borrow a sum of money temporarily."
Being able to maintain a character set that is not bad for money after returning from British India, of course Alan Wilson can do it by himself. However, for the well-being of the people of Hyderabad, he cannot replace Ali Khan to invest, one yard for one yard, and doing things with money, which makes sense wherever he goes.
"The majesty understands the commissioner's contribution to Hyderabad, and it has been stated in the telegram that he is willing to support the commissioner's trip to Europe.
The butler nodded calmly and said, "It's just that the amount is relatively large." "
"With the majesty's wealth, one million pounds is not a lot of money, at best it is a suitable amount of money. I am very grateful for the majesty's understanding, but I thought of another thing, money alone cannot Solve the problem." Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "I need something else."
"What do you need?" The housekeeper thumped in his heart. It wasn't that he was very loyal to Ali Khan and cared about the wealth of the monarch of Hyderabad, but that when things started to work, he would also be busy.
"Food, food and cigarettes are even more useful than money at this time." Alan Wilson said solemnly, "Now Germany has been plowed by the flames of war, and food shortages are a high probability. If Ali Khan can In this matter, setting an example as a monarch can become a moral example in the aftermath of the cruel world war. I will do the rest and feed back the appropriate weapons to Hyderabad."
"Then I will contact the majesty now." The butler didn't dare to neglect, and was called back by Alan Wilson, "Collect some tobacco and alcohol first, the men in Germany suffered heavy losses during the war, let's solve the needs of the men first, as for Women, war makes women go away."
Although it is said that both men and women are cannon fodder in war, the value of cannon fodder and cannon fodder is also different. Once a war breaks out, women's rights will be bullshit. It is okay to make trouble in peacetime. During the war, the government will only give priority to the rights of men, whether it is admitted or not, this is a fact.
In Germany, where the war has just ended, tobacco and alcohol are definitely hard currencies, which are more useful than the waste paper mark, and maybe even more useful than the British pound.
Thousands of miles away, the weather in Eastern Europe is still very cool. In Lubyanka Square in Moscow, the head of the State Security Service, Merkulov, was busy writing documents at his desk, when the phone on the desk suddenly rang violently.
"I'm Merkulov!" Merkulov stretched out his hand to hold the microphone, his eyes under the bushy hair were full of sharpness.
"I'm Beria!" A cold voice introduced himself from the other end of the microphone.
Merkulov stood up straight and responded loudly, "General Political Commissar, what orders do you have?"
"Mobilize the main personnel of the First General Administration, and immediately set off for Germany to start Operation Oswagen, focusing on the scientists in the German rocket field." Beria ordered indifferently, "All front-line troops must cooperate."
"Yes!" Merkulov replied with a loud voice as if he had received a big deal, and there was already a busy beeping sound from the other side of the microphone.
