British Civil Servant

Chapter 46: Allen Report

For the British media who came to witness the surrender ceremony, they will not leave Berlin for the time being. Now everyone knows that the four-nation joint military parade will be held next month. This is another big news. Berlin has a reason to stay there.

Although the four countries are allies on the surface, compared with the Soviet Red Army, the United States, Britain and France still generally stand in the same position. It is also a very important thing to establish effective public opinion guidance in Berlin.

Of course, these Berlin correspondents who have been dispatched by major newspapers and magazines, and even Alan Wilson himself know. It is already too late to guide public opinion. The capable forces of the Soviet NKVD have already dug three feet into the Soviet-occupied area and searched for German military scientists named by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

All of this kept the Americans who had not yet reacted in the dark, unaware of their secret actions, and the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs had seen them all, closely watching their every move.

On the streets of London, reports of the official surrender of Germany made London citizens who were already a little tired of the war full of enthusiasm. The British Empire finally won this world war and trampled the old rival Germans under their feet.

In the celebration of the victory over the old enemy, the London government also loosened the control. Almost instantly, London was lifted from the wartime state. In this festive atmosphere, Philby dressed in casual clothes and came to his friend's house. .

"Oh, Philby, it's very lively outside right now?" Donald McLean was not surprised by this at all. E. Francis Burgess came out of the back room and nodded at Philby.

"Oh, celebrating the surrender of the Germans is, for most people, something to be relieved of." Philby snorted and threw the documents in his hand on the table.

"What is this!" Burgess frowned, looking at the file bag on the table.

"I also just received the document that Berlin sent to the Foreign Office." Philby shrugged and said to Donald, "In fact, even if I don't bring it, you should see it right away, and check it with us tomorrow according to the procedure. After that, it will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Donald Maclean was born in 1915. Former British diplomat in France, the United States, Egypt and other countries. MacLean's father, an England-born Scotsman, was a Liberal politician who had been chairman of the education board.

At the age of 20, Maclean first stepped into the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, he has become the first person among the Cambridge Five to enter the core of the British regime.

"Is it a written report from Berlin? Let me see it!" When Donald McLean heard Philby say this, he immediately became interested, read it, and soon became fully absorbed in it.

"What's the matter, let me see!" Burgess saw Alan Wilson's name at a glance, and gave Philby a strange look, "Is it the symbol of our British Empire's civil servants? However, Philby, you seem to be Pay close attention to him."

Alan Wilson must know that the money he gives to the French women on the streets of Paris will have such a large influence that he may consider resigning his public office at the appropriate time, join the Conservative Party or the Labour Party, hold elections, and may become the British Empire the Prime Minister.

"With his current popularity, it's hard not to be noticed. And at such a young age, he was taken care of by General Mountbatten, and he was commissioner of Hyderabad in British India, and he went directly to Germany for qualifications when he came back. How could I not pay attention to him." Philby said it was not his fault, and then changed the subject, "You all have work experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, take a good look at the things above."

Burgess stretched out his hand to signal for peace of mind, then took the document and looked at it. The document in front of the three of them was the report written by Alan Wilson, which had taken the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in one stroke.

Except for the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in the Balkans, the rest of the content is not only not covered, but also very detailed.

In Alan Wilson's report, he first criticized the Soviet Union for possibly posing a threat to world peace and making people in the free world become Soviet puppets. analysis.

"With the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army, after four years of **** war with Germany, the Allied forces on the Western Front may not be the opponents of the Soviet Red Army on the ground, but they can exert influence on the Soviet-occupied areas through certain means. It's the United States that has the economic power."

It is not surprising that they are hostile to the Soviet Union in an imperialist tone. Donald and Burgess also nodded secretly, and then said that the US-British-French-occupied areas could use their powerful economic power to exert influence on the Soviet-occupied areas.

Up to the current paragraph, everything is still normal, but the last paragraph reads, "The Soviet Union occupies nearly half of the Eurasian continent, and once it becomes strong, it will be difficult to contain. After the baptism of the world war, the alliance in the army The military is unmatched, and the Soviet Union must be imprisoned through superficial de-escalation. Under the premise of maintaining the current European status quo, the weak link that may appear is not actually in Europe, but in Asia.”

"Based on my experience in British India, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is no longer comparable to what it was four years ago. Not to mention the army facing the European battlefield, even the Anglo-Indian Corps facing British India is also very difficult."

"Once the Soviet Union transfers the Soviet Red Army from Europe to Asia, with the current military strength of the Asian allies, it is very likely that it will not be able to overtake the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is not known for its navy, but Sakhalin and Hokkaido do not need a large navy to get through. More What's more, the Japanese combined fleet has been completely lost, and the Soviets can land even if they make a bathtub, and once they land, the old, weak, sick and disabled in Japan will definitely not be the opponents of the Soviet Red Army."

"Once the Soviet Red Army occupied Hokkaido, the environment in the fragile Far East will be greatly improved. If Hokkaido is in the hands of the Allies, the whole of Japan is the front line for the Allies to block the Soviet Union. If the troops are stationed in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States will not be stable.”

"How about it, do you think it's whimsical or not?" Philby looked at his friend and paused for a reply.

"It's definitely not whimsical. On the contrary, I have a hard time believing that this is an administrative civil servant from a colony. You said that he has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many years. I also believe it." Burgess frowned and said solemnly, "But the analysis of Japan? "

"I checked, he was a student of Oriental College, and he worked in Xiangjiang with his father. After the fall of British India, the most important thing was to provide information on Pearl Harbor." Philby replied very seriously, "It can be said that it is true. The Far East knows it very well.”

"Then needless to say, the news must be passed on to the Soviet comrades immediately." Donald said firmly, "The greedy imperialists don't even want to pretend to be friendly, it's shameless."
