Chapter 42 The Symbol of Civil Servants
With a dull sound, the military plane that had been circling over Berlin for a long time finally landed successfully. This made the pale-faced Alan Wilson heave a sigh of relief. The scene where the anti-aircraft artillery shot down, but it was safe and sound.
"Why do you have such an ugly face?" Eifel had already stood up, and when he saw Alan Wilson who was still in shock, he couldn't help teasing, "It seems that we don't fly when we go to France, which is just right for you."
"It's still far from being safe now. We all know that air defense is ten and nine air defenses. Even if the air defense force is well-prepared, it will not shoot down more than 5% of the bombers each time, but this will not delay the bomber pilots. I can’t live for three months, because the air raid is not just one.” Alan Wilson took a few breaths to calm himself down, sighing secretly that he still had to avoid flying, and then got off the plane with two heavy suitcases.
Because of the Battle of Berlin, the entire city of Berlin is full of ruins. Although a part of it has been cleaned up urgently, it has only played a better role than nothing. Many tall buildings seem to fall down with a slight push, and their shapes are like Picasso's abstraction. The painting is incomprehensible.
The British soldiers who were greeted by Berlin, Alan Wilson and the other eight people found a place to rest. There are barracks of British soldiers around, so safety is not a problem.
"What's the current situation in Berlin?" Alan Wilson asked the commander of this unit, who shrugged, "Actually, we have just arrived for a day, and we are not familiar with many things. But we have received a lot of welcome. , the residents of Berlin seem to be terrified by the Soviets."
"We shouldn't sympathize with them. Who made them start the war and lose it? The Soviets should treat them as they should." Alan Wilson chuckled. He himself was a person who lacked compassion. Paris can pretend, even if France is a suspicious ally, there is no need to pretend in Berlin. In the victorious atmosphere of the end of the war on the European battlefield, at least in a short period of time, it is politically correct to punish Germany from top to bottom. , say more.
There is a reason why Berliners are afraid of Soviet soldiers. It depends on what German soldiers did in the Soviet Union. It is also reasonable for the Soviet Red Army to invade Berlin for bloody revenge.
Some German sticks in later generations deliberately blamed the SS for their crimes, which is completely farting. Have all the soldiers of the SS been to the Soviet Union? There are only 200,000 troops capable of fighting. How did it cause more than 10 million civilian casualties in the Soviet Union?
Even if the Soviet Union kills all the 20 million Germans in the occupied areas and makes them disappear from the world, he has no objection.
"This is a temporary residence. We will notify you to move in after we have cleaned up the residential area." After sending Alan Wilson to the place, the second lieutenant of the British army paid a military salute and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Alan Wilson took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other party as thanks.
"Thank you so much." The second lieutenant was overjoyed when he saw it. There is a shortage of supplies in Berlin now, let alone cigarettes. This gift was really a surprise, so I accepted it with a smile.
The German mark is already a piece of paper, because the order has collapsed, and the banknotes of any country have been implicated. Now the most valuable thing in Germany is no longer money, but cigarettes. In Germany that has been destroyed long ago, cigarettes come out of nowhere.
One cigarette can ensure that a person can eat and drink for a day, and at that time, a large number of male laborers in the country were taken away, and German women were also quite worthless. Two cigarettes can be exchanged for a woman.
Not long after, a group of guests ushered in the temporary residence. They were front-line reporters from major British newspapers who came to witness the German surrender ceremony. Many people did not want to miss the historic scene, so they flew over from London.
When someone saw Alan Wilson himself, his face became weird. Isn't this the one reproduced by major domestic newspapers, the diplomat who traded flesh and blood with French women on the streets of Paris? However, although not all of the photos,
Naked French women have a few nice bodies...
"Gentlemen, what's the matter with you?" Allen Wilson asked with a sullen face, unable to stand being stared at strangely. Before he knew it, he had become the most famous civil servant in Britain, with a wide range of nationalities.
The photograph of handing money to a Parisian woman has become a classic image of the civil service in the British Empire.
"It's okay, it's okay. We're just curious about Mr. Allen." One of the reporters wanted to ask how Alan Wilson was captured by the image of buying sex on the streets of Paris, and whether he really wanted to buy sex and was photographed. But when he thought about asking directly, it was not in line with a gentleman's demeanor, so he decided to find an opportunity to ask privately in the future.
Many reporters asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs whether there was a specific procedure, and Alan Wilson said that he was also waiting for the notification.
When asked about the destruction of Berlin by the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson said with a serious face, "At present, the Soviet Union and we are allies. In this kind of victory, it is not suitable for a conflict on the surface. As for the destruction of Berlin, I only want to say one thing, Hitler was the head of state elected by the people, and the Germans supported Hitler and led them to launch the war. When the snow mountain collapsed, no snowflake was innocent."
As a diplomat with three correct views, Alan Wilson has made a clear stand. He can show hypocrisy to anyone, but not to the Germans. This is a matter of principle.
"We in the UK do not retaliate against ordinary people in such things as revenge. This is because we British are gentlemanly. This is an honorable thing, but it is understandable if other countries want to vent their anger because of the invasion." Alan Wilson praised his motherland, and finally emphasized, "There is also a trivial reason that the Soviet Union is not easy to mess with, and justice costs money."
The reporters all showed a clear look, and they all agreed that out of the overall situation of unity among the allied countries, they should not make trouble at this time, and professional ethics should not allow them to lose sight of the overall situation at such a grand victory ceremony.
You said that you said earlier that we couldn't provoke the Soviet Union, didn't everyone understand? Stop talking nonsense...
In the midst of the joy, the reporters who came from the British mainland left one after another, and Alan Wilson also started to open the suitcase, and even took it by mistake, opening the suitcase full of a box of cigarettes. Looking around like a thief, he quickly pushed the suitcase back and opened the other same suitcase. There were a lot of things in this suitcase, except for half a box of cigarettes and a change of clothes, there was nothing left. Files to look at.
Work is still important. When he took out a document that he had not had time to read on the way from Paris, Alan Wilson frowned and muttered, "The Yugoslav Fatherland Army, a marginalized person in World War II."
