Chapter 49 The Gentle Diplomat

The situation in Vienna is different from that in Berlin. In Berlin, the Soviet Union occupies the eastern half of Berlin, and the United States, Britain and France occupy the western half. The situation in Vienna is more complicated. The Soviet Union is not only stationed in the eastern part of Vienna, but also includes the western suburbs of Vienna. It can be said that the entire In the urban area of ​​Vienna, the occupied areas of the United States, Britain and France are surrounded in the middle. If you want to avoid passing through the Soviet-occupied areas, only the north-south roads can pass.

It can be said that half of the greater Berlin city still has the United States, Britain and France, although leaving Berlin has to pass through the Soviet-occupied area of ​​Germany. The Anglo-American French-occupied area in Vienna is directly surrounded by the Soviet-occupied area in Vienna. If there is anything, the Soviet Red Army in Vienna can handle it.

The reality is so cruel, it's no wonder that Alan Wilson hit hard against British India and was obedient to the Soviet Union. The person who came was a Soviet diplomat stationed in Vienna, but he regarded all unidentified Soviet diplomats as members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's like conversely, he is an informant of MI6.

Alan Wilson also doesn't know what kind of friendship the old imperialism has with the Soviet Union, which liberated the world. If there is, it is Germany. Regarding the decisive role of the Soviet Red Army on the battlefield, his flattering attitude and nasty words are breathtaking . Even the British diplomats in Vienna were shocked.

"Mr. Petrov, I have seen that the Soviet Union has strict military discipline, and the entire order in Vienna is amazing. I hope that the friendship between the British Empire and the Soviet Union can continue." Alan Wilson talked endlessly, feeling numb in front of the half-bald Soviet diplomat Touted, also took out ten boxes of cigarettes as a gift to show friendship.

"Mr. Allen is really too polite. We only heard that there were guests in Vienna, so we came to ask out of caution. You also know that the war money is over. Many people are very disgusted with the allies in their hearts. It can be said that Vienna is not safe." Petrov took over the benefits of Alan Wilson without a trace.

Whoever Alan Wilson is, a class enemy, a running dog of imperialism, and the great motherland who can take advantage of him will all praise him.

"Yes, the Red Army soldiers made the right decision. In my opinion, there were so many Austrians who supported the German-Austrian merger. There was a big problem in Austria. There is no need to be polite to these war criminals!" Politely, he stomped on the Austrian who was already lying on the ground, and Alan Wilson was full of hatred, "The Soviet Union is right to treat these war criminals."

Talk about the traditional friendship between Britain and Russia, such as the traditional friendship between the two countries when dealing with Napoleon, and fighting side by side against Germany during the First World War. I mentioned, anyway, the United Kingdom will also renege on the United States afterwards, and if everyone reneges, there will be no account.

"Mr. Allen, the Soviet Union has always recognized the important role of the United Kingdom in the world. In this way, if you are not busy, come to the Epstein Palace next year with the diplomats from the Schönbrunn Palace." Petrov nodded, responding to this The well-meaning diplomat was so impressed that he directly extended the invitation.

"This is exactly the purpose of my coming to Vienna. After all, we are different countries, and we may have some conflicts when we get along." Alan Wilson readily agreed, "There are of course many things to talk about about the establishment of the post-war order in Vienna. "

Vienna and even Austria, the current situation sounds like a four-country co-administration, but in fact Austria and the Soviet Union are similarly monopolized. Alan Wilson Schönbrunn Palace is now the headquarters of the United Kingdom in Vienna.

Schönbrunn Palace is located in Vienna, the capital of Austria. It is one of its most famous scenic spots. It was originally named after Matthias, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who hunted here. Spring", this area is also called Meiquan. As a traditional Baroque art building, the majestic Schönbrunn Palace is second only to the Palace of Versailles in France.

Britain chose the Royal Palace as its headquarters in Vienna, which is naturally in line with the tradition of the monarchy of the British Empire.

The choice of the Soviet Union was the Epstein Palace, the former gathering place of the dignitaries of the Austrian Empire, which was very political at first glance.

As for the headquarters chosen by the United States, it is also very in line with the characteristics of the United States of America. It is the headquarters of the Austrian National Bank. It seems that they are here for money. As for France, it is the largest luxury hotel in Vienna.

Alan Wilson actually still has a lot of things to do. He didn’t remember his own job until he arrived in Vienna. He didn’t go to the border to be a shit-stirring stick. Some basic contributions.

It's not that he realized it later, he just asked the diplomats at Schönbrunn Palace that he didn't know that these tasks hadn't been done yet.

"Could it be that these local civil servants usually live such a comfortable life?" Alan Wilson sighed in his heart. As a civil servant from British India, he worked hard for the British Empire, but the local diplomats were so inefficient.

After Petrov left, Alan Wilson began to ask the Yugoslav refugees in the border area, "Stevens, let our local diplomats try their best to delay the time, and I will deal with this matter when I arrive."

"Liaison officer, are we going to contact the Soviet Union?" Stevens asked. "Will this arouse suspicion?"

Alan Wilson is the liaison officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Europe. This is not a very high position. All the people who came to Europe with him are, but he is the only one who has come to Vienna.

What's the matter, he is still the liaison officer of the Ministry of Indian Affairs to British India, just a name.

"Go with the Americans and the French. We are still allies, and it is normal to have contact. Of course, tomorrow morning, the Americans will declare war on the Soviets, so just pretend I didn't say anything." Alan Wilson suddenly laughed out loud when he said this Come on, after a while, he pretended to be serious and said, "What is the difference between Austria and the Soviets now? Of course, the Soviet Red Army did not go to other occupied areas. From this point of view, it is very good. Solving the Austrian problem may require It will take a lot of time and require higher-level diplomats to work hard, but we must at least come up with a solution for the urban area of ​​Vienna, and we can’t keep military control.”

The four countries occupy a large area of ​​Austria, and what about the city of Vienna? The area of ​​Vienna is far smaller than that of Berlin, and the occupied areas of various countries are still in a staggered manner, all of which are surrounded by the Soviets. A citizen of Vienna may pass through different positions in the four countries when going out. This must be resolved.

Even if only one draft is produced and nothing is resolved, it can add a lot of color to Alan Wilson's resume.

"Then I'll rest first." Alan Wilson raised his wrist to look at his watch. He should have sent a telegram to Pamela Mountbatten.
