British Civil Servant

Chapter 45: Disappointed Patton

The small commissioner's complaints did not delay this united, victorious, and harmonious surrender ceremony. All the Allied leaders were happy and enjoyed the joy of victory. As for the location of the celebration in Berlin, the capital of Germany, this is just a small problem.

Eisenhower also brought gifts to Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Red Army, a truck full of Coca-Cola, Eisenhower with Coca-Cola directly in his hand, and opened it in front of Zhukov and handed it to the other party, "Dear Marshal, at such a special moment. , we sincerely wish you good health, the friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union can last forever, the war is not over, the Japanese in the Far East are still unwilling to this great victory, the United States of America and the Soviet Socialist Republic Alliance, we must continue to fight."

"General Eisenhower, thank you." Marshal Zhukov took the Coca-Cola handed over very readily and drank it one by one, looking very comfortable. Apparently it wasn't the first time he had tasted the drink.

In fact, Coca-Cola has made another tweak to its personalization product. The company created a colorless white cola at the request of a very specific consumer who happened to be a well-known Soviet general.

This person is Marshal Zhukov, and one of the biggest fans of Coke is Eisenhower. He was not only responsible for supplying supplies to the American army, but also recommended Coke for the first time to the famous Soviet Marshal Zhukov.

This time, when Eisenhower came to Berlin, he happened to bring fifty cases of Coca-Cola to Marshal Zhukov. Because the Soviet Union had a ban on Coca-Cola, anyone could not buy more than fifty cases of Coke for the first time. Eisenhower's move was also to comply with the ban, while establishing a friendly personal relationship with Marshal Zhukov.

Others at the surrender ceremony also shared the American drink with the light of Marshal Zhukov.

"Look how happy the Soviets are drinking." Eifel also said with a bottle of Coke, "It doesn't seem like they can't touch it."

This is not the people's Coke! Alan Wilson almost couldn't help laughing, the people's Coke is a meme from the Soviet era. Because Pepsi was suppressed by Coca-Cola, it couldn't stand up, so it thought of opening up a market without Coca-Cola.

Is there such a market? Of course, there are the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries that were influenced by the Soviet Union, so every year during the October Revolution, Pepsi-Cola was promoted in the Soviet Union, and they all denounced Coca-Cola as the spokesperson of imperialism, and Pepsi-Cola is the cola that belongs to the proletariat and the cola that belongs to the people.

"We think we can hold a military parade in Berlin, and when Berlin is initially cleared, our four countries will hold a military parade in Berlin to demonstrate unity." Marshal Zhukov suggested to the generals including Eisenhower, "I don't know. How do you feel?"

"Yeah! I agree with this." Eisenhower thought a lot when he heard Zhukov's words, but did not refuse.

The other British and French generals present, including Montgomery and Delancey, did not object. In fact, they did not think that if a joint military parade was held in Berlin, the protagonist would of course be the Soviet Red Army, which was crowded with troops near Berlin, and the three countries of the United States, Britain and France. The army is destined to be a supporting role.

But this is another opportunity to directly observe the Soviet Red Army. On the surface, everyone can join the military parade to show solidarity. It is also possible to assess the combat effectiveness of the imaginary enemy secretly, and Marshal Zhukov's proposal was unanimously agreed for a variety of reasons.

On the streets of Berlin, American soldiers and Soviet Red Army soldiers shook hands to express their friendship. British soldiers crossed the road under the command of Soviet female soldiers. Soldiers from various countries stood together to take pictures. At least at this time, what most people think about is war. It's finally over, in this unforgettable battle, they survived the last memorial to go home and reunite with their loved ones at home, forgetting the **** cruel battlefield.

"This is a demonstration by the Soviets against us!" Of course, not everyone thinks so. Munich, the center of Bavaria, a city famous for its Munich conspiracy, became the chief executive of Bavaria a few days ago, and the third in the United States. The commander of the group army, the four-star general Patton is furious, and the vulgar words are unbearable to look directly at.

"We should attack the Soviet Union now, so that the whole world will be controlled by the United States and its friends, this is a feat that has never been seen in history, I don't know what Eisenhower is hesitating now, and giving the Soviets Coke, it's simply It's a joke."

"Commander, the war is over, peace is hard-won." General Patton's chief of staff was helpless. The generals who hated the Soviet Union were not the United States. On the contrary, most generals were more or less hostile to the Soviet Union. . Even Eisenhower, a five-star general, was not as friendly to the Soviet Union as he appeared on the surface, but a senior general like General Patton who did not hide it at all was indeed very rare.

In the position of a senior general, why do you have to learn to conceal your true intentions? But there are exceptions to everything, and General Patton is precisely a senior general who is unwilling to do so.

"In my eyes, this is just a half-assed war, the real enemy has not been eliminated." Patton sighed indignantly, "Well, maybe I am too pessimistic, Japan has not surrendered yet? I can go to the Far East ."

This kind of nostalgia for the war, the chief of staff just thought he didn't hear it. I believe Patton will eventually figure it out.

The four-nation joint military parade is scheduled to be held next month. Alan Wilson is writing a report to London under the lights. The report analyzes the current situation in Europe and asserts that the hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union will not be so obvious until Japan surrenders. .

He knew that this report would go through MI6, and it was a high probability that Philby would see it. Regarding Yugoslavia's opposition to Tito's forces, he used ambiguous language to pass it over, emphasizing that the joint military parade would become the Soviet Union's The home of the Red Army, but there is such an opportunity to assess the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army at close range, not to be missed.

Putting down the pen, Alan Wilson put away the report, and now he is thinking of a suitable reason to go to Munich. It is best not to take the initiative to go, but to wait for the local affairs to be handled by someone, and pass by in desperation.

It seems that this is a difficult thing, but in fact it is not difficult. Refugees from the Yugoslav Fatherland Army have already flooded into the border. After waiting for the next report, he can go with the flow and be sent there helplessly.
