British Civil Servant

Chapter 36: insulting the law today

The news of Hitler's suicide immediately appeared in the major newspapers and magazines in London, and almost every man, woman and child in the streets and alleys had a newspaper. The news of the death of the German head of state who once provoked the world war in the hearts of the British seems to mark the end of the world war that has claimed tens of millions of lives.

The dawn of peace has appeared, and many people let out a sigh of relief. It seems that the family members who are still in the war will return safely.

As for how many German troops in Germany do not believe that Hitler is dead, and are still fighting to the last moment for the great Führer, that is not something the British should care about.

"The time didn't deviate too much, and the general direction of history has not been affected." Looking at the calendar, Alan Wilson locked the door and prepared to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The schedule for Europe has been set.

On the streets of London, many pedestrians holding this newspaper are cheering and expecting their families to come back.

"Are you going to Whitehall? The war is over, and our family will be back safely soon." I don't know if it's a common problem in the world, but the drivers are very talkative, like the taxi driver who pulled Alan Wilson .

"Most people should come back and live a peaceful life, although the war in the Far East is not over yet. But there is mainly the expeditionary force and the Indian Army to regain lost ground. I believe it will not take a few months to have good news. Here comes." Alan Wilson replied politely, looking at the elated crowd outside.

What is there to be happy about? Waiting happily for her husband to come back, and then happily accepting the expedition for two years, has a big fat boy born? Only God knows, how many soldiers will choose to divorce when they return.

After the recent activities, he was already familiar with the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs. The final written order was only a routine matter. The reception staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not use any major reason to show the urgency and importance of going to Europe.

Needless to say, Alan Wilson understands these big principles better than anyone else. He is even more attentive than other colleagues. When he returns to London, he still receives the salary of the Hyderabad Commissioner from Ali Khan.

Because there is currently no complete peace in Germany, before the necessary restoration of order, Alan Wilson and the diplomats who formed the British-occupied area order on behalf of the United Kingdom, the first stop is not any city in Germany, but Paris, the capital of France.

Judging from the division of the Yalta Conference, the British Empire, with its 30 million square kilometers of colonies, is relatively on a par with the United States and the Soviet Union. The state of Stein and southern Austria is composed of important cities such as Bonn, Hamburg, Cologne, and Kiel.

The Ruhr area is an industrial area in Germany, Bonn is the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany later, Hamburg and Kiel are both important ports. A large part of the essence of German industry is in the British-occupied areas.

It must be admitted that it is always beneficial to be born in a strong country. When you go to Alan Wilson in the British-occupied area, you can search for what you want in the elite industrial area of ​​the Germans.

The matter is not urgent, Ali Khan's London butler also came to see him off at the port, waiting for the ship to start. Before boarding the ship, Alan Wilson instructed, "Alim, I will contact you when I arrive in Paris, and guide you to what you will need. Things are brought in, and if the food from British India arrives, you can go to Burgess, who used to work for the BBC, reporting the Maharaja’s goodwill towards the devastated Europe, and the BBC is the most suitable.”

At this time, Alan Wilson didn't mind borrowing the connections of the Cambridge Five to make money, so he didn't shudder.

After a casual chat, Alan Wilson was informed that the ship was about to lift anchor, and he said goodbye to Ali Khan's London butler.

The ship set off for the other side of the English Channel. Complaints came immediately. Many members who came to work complained, why did they send planes to send them there? Could they still be shot down in France?

"Maybe it's the Minister of Foreign Affairs who wants us to see the real situation in France now, so that we can cherish peace more and show enthusiasm for our work?" Alan Wilson whistled, knowing without thinking about the situation in France, it is estimated that It is better than the territory of Germany, where the war has not ended, and it is probably not much better.

"Oh, Ellen, maybe what you said makes sense." Eiffel, a fellow foreign representative, nodded and exaggeratedly said, "As we all know, the French have always been the embodiment of bravery."

"Of course, I believe they will not surrender a second time." Another foreign representative also joined in. It seems that French topics can always excite the British.

"Maybe the French would say that it was precisely because they surrendered to the Germans that they did not lose much in the war. Why should they resist instead of surrendering to reduce losses?"

"It seems very reasonable for you to say that, otherwise the French are smart."

Everyone, you said something to me, the air was full of joy, and from time to time bursts of laughter erupted. Alan Wilson couldn't help but laugh. Has he entered the stage of insulting the law so quickly?

How can you smear the innocence of the French out of thin air? Alan Wilson thought so, and happily joined the discussion, which must be admitted is a good way to kill time. When it comes to the French, everyone is not sleepy immediately. As for not arranging planes for them to do, small things, small things!

Crossing the sea and going to Paris by land at this time is far from an easy journey. After going ashore, everyone wanted to go directly to Paris by rail, but they had to give up this idea.

Because many railways have not yet recovered the ability to open to traffic, they had to stop for a while. So everyone quickly got the help of the British army in the northern port, so they didn't make the appointment into a forced march of hunger and cold.

Looking around, the people are sparsely populated, and the traces of the war can still be seen. As soon as you leave the port, you can see the fortress set up by the German army. Although the French people are not as frightened as they used to be, they are still in a hurry, indicating that the current situation in France may be Not good either.

The situation in France may be better than that in Germany, but there should be no famine. You must know that France is a major agricultural country in Europe, and it also has a place in the world agricultural hegemony in later generations. It should not be a problem to fill its stomach.

Now it is the Germans who are facing the situation of not having enough to eat! Stop-and-go, when we arrived in Paris, this impressive journey to the post was only to come to an end.
