Poor Alan, being played by Maomei between applause, mainly because the other party captured Alan Wilson's son. Whenever he sees the hostage in Anna's hands, how can he still doubt it?

But this scene, in Pokina's eyes, was particularly dazzling, and she hadn't noticed it before.

But this time Ellen Wilson's arrival made her realize that because of the birth of the child, the balance was inevitably tilted towards Anna's side.

In fact, the days in Germany were not bad. After experiencing the depression before being swept away by Alan Wilson, who was sleeping with him, he was full of confidence and set off again to go to Berlin to compete with the Soviets.

There will be British diplomats in Berlin to meet him, and of course, MI6 agents are also indispensable.

The sale of the Rolls-Royce engine this time is far from being naive by the Labour government, but with deep-seated considerations. Britain faces a Dunkirk retreat for the financial sector.

Labour won a general election in a situation where two world wars in a single generation had drained the empire's currency reserves and Britain desperately needed more exports to pay for reconstruction and social security costs such as housing, health care, pensions, etc.

British-made jets and jet engines are of course high-tech products with high added value, which are the export products that the British government urgently needs.

As a result, the Air Ministry has put the newest jets on a list of permitted exports without the need for approval from any specific department.

Although the imperial government was not as omnipotent as the Soviet government, it was still easy to stop the export of engines.

There is still no formal rejection and there is only one possibility, the cabinet wants the deal done.

Opposition also exists, mainly from the military, who fear it will give potential enemies an advantage. Then a number of diplomats joined in, the most influential being the Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevan, a close friend of Prime Minister Attlee.

The reason why Prime Minister Attlee still approved the deal in the end is because the jet engines were first exported to France before being sold to the Soviet Union. The current largest party in France is the French Communist Party.

With the current momentum of the French Communist Party, the cabinet believes that the Soviet Union will get the jet engine sooner or later, and it is better to get it from the United Kingdom than from France in the end.

The most important thing is that the Nien engine to be sold by Rolls-Royce is not the best technology in advanced Britain. The next-generation jet engine is already in the research stage, and the military itself does not actually value the value of the Nien engine.

Alan Wilson believes that the reason why this deal with the UK is very stupid is because the Soviet military aircraft shined on the Korean peninsula and made the Americans very embarrassed, which makes the deal appear to be stupid.

Alan Wilson, the British representative in Berlin, was well known as Eiffel, a former official negotiator at the Potsdam conference.

Eiffel was also surprised to see Alan Wilson. The two had not seen each other for a long time. He also knew that his colleague had gone to work in British India again. The last time there was news was because of reports of engagement in British India. Two photos appeared in the newspaper at the same time, the first was a photo from the day of the engagement, and the second was a classic scene of giving money in Paris.

The headline of the day's report was, "The gentleman who saved French women, today has his own happiness."

Just when Alan Wilson arrived in Berlin, in Bonn at this time, Botkina was angrily scolding Anna for not being able to fall in love with the minions of imperialism, and to understand the mission of the two.

"Absolutely not, of course I remember my promise to the motherland." Anna made a stern promise, disapproving in her heart, thinking that this was because Pokina was looking for trouble, and she was jealous of having children.

Ellen Wilson was obviously more protective of her yesterday, complimenting her face that she was younger than her real age, almost like a minor, but her body was so coveted.

Alan Wilson, who has arrived in Berlin, who knows about the dragoon sisters, is drinking afternoon tea and asking about the current situation in Germany. It has been almost three years since the end of the war, and time is slowly healing the pain of the war.

Germany is now occupied by the Soviet Union, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. The German capital, Berlin, is also divided into four occupation zones. Fortunately, the war has passed, and the German people have finally lived a peaceful life.

Peaceful days are not good days. Alan Wilson is not in Europe, but in British India, where winter does not have a few days a year. Of course, he does not know that Germany has just experienced the coldest winter in a hundred years.

All rivers and canals in northern and western Germany were frozen and therefore unnavigable.

The Elbe in Saxony was frozen, as was the river in Hamburg, so it was impossible to get there by boat. The same is true for Germany's western neighbors and the United Kingdom. Snowstorms and wind-blown snowdrifts completely disrupted traffic in some places.

In Germany, the limited post-war transport sector was disrupted, which reduced industrial production by a quarter at the beginning of 1947.

The supply of coal has stopped, temporarily closing many businesses, factories, schools, authorities and other state facilities. The German people, who were already suffering from malnutrition, were now plagued by severe cold and starvation, because they lacked much-needed food.

This is also the reason why Pokina went to New Delhi, but from Pokina's mouth, Alan Wilson, who has been staying in New Delhi, certainly can't intuitively feel what's going on in Europe.

Now that Eiffel mentioned the difficulties at the beginning of this year, Alan Wilson nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he still didn't feel much. If these **** hadn't launched two world wars, would the UK be where it is now? ?

"The biggest dream of the Germans now may be to have a unified government of their own." Eiffel finally said such a sentence.

"Unification? The Germans may be dreaming." Alan Wilson sneered and bet his colleague, "Germany can never be unified again, do you believe it?"

Alan Wilson felt that the European Community does not need the Big Three model, because Britain, France and Germany are once in one organization. It will cause a fight with each other, because the triangle has stability. This does not hold politically, but it holds nationally.

He hoped that Germany would never be unified. From the perspective of the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union's love for the future GDR will do.

If the Soviet Union can do this, even if the GDR claims that the GDR is more legitimate than the Federal Republic, he is in favor of it.

There is another event in Germany that, although not discussed, is very symbolic, that is, Prussia no longer exists, and the Allied Supreme Council of Military Control of Germany officially ordered the abolition of the Prussian establishment.

The former Prussian territories were incorporated into Poland and the Soviet Union, as well as the occupied areas of Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union. The property of the former Prussian state government was divided between the Allies and the Soviet Union.

At the same time, the operation to expel the Germans has officially begun, and the Germans from Eastern Europe are pouring into the Soviet-occupied areas.

On a personal level, Alan Wilson can express sympathy for the Germanic people in Eastern Europe, but considering that this country has launched two world wars, it can only be said that it deserves it.

While waiting for the arrival of the Soviet representative, Alan Wilson learned from Eiffel whether there has been any change in Germany in the past two years, and there have been changes, such as the currency war.

Americans once wanted to prohibit the mixed use of cigarettes and US dollars, so in 1946, the currency of the US-occupied area was specially printed in the US-occupied area.

It can be directly exchanged with the US dollar. The Soviet Union knew about it, cracked the printing technology, and then frantically printed the currency of the US-occupied area to extract the US dollar.

"But isn't the U.S.-occupied area still issuing currency?" Alan Wilson was greatly surprised, wondering if such a thing happened in Germany last year?

"That was the newly issued currency this year. The currency set last year only circulated for two months, and a large amount of dollars was cashed out by the sudden appearance of a large number of counterfeit currency, and then it was terminated by the Americans." Eifel shrugged. "This set is new, and so far it's pretty successful."

The United States began to help Germany print a new currency. This currency is the West German mark that has been in circulation until the emergence of the euro. This time the Soviet Union has no tricks. Because the United States has adopted a lot of anti-counterfeiting technology, the Soviets have always been a shortcoming in this regard. At that time, it was not that there were no commodities in Germany, but that they did not appear in the market.

With no currency backed, everyone hoarded a lot of useless goods. But even if they are not used, they have their value, and they are waiting to be realized. Under the stimulation of the new Deutsche Mark~www.wuxiaspot.com~ these commodities began to appear. Since they can be exchanged for money, of course there is no need to store them in those goods that are not available.

Alan Wilson lamented that in this regard, the Americans are still superior, and West Germany has already appeared. The Soviet-occupied areas still use the Reich Mark from the Third Reich era.

On the side of the invisible dividing line, a train arrived in Berlin, and the two slowly walked down. One of the men was very surprised, and was still chattering, "Shepilov, I don't understand, why should I Come? I'm not a talent for diplomatic work."

"But as an administrator, you can come up with ideas that will make my work easier." Shepilov comforted, "Ukrainian production and construction are extremely important to the motherland. We deny this, and you are very interested in local industry. Familiarity, so that we can avoid the British blackmailing us."

"Okay, okay, come here, I'll take what you said makes sense." Khrushchev sighed helplessly, "I have to explain one thing, I definitely can't stay here for too long, and There's work for me to do."

"Understood, it shouldn't take too long." Shepilov followed the other party's words calmly. "This matter has been discussed for a long time, and this time should be the time for the results."
