British Civil Servant

For Patton's subordinate, it is fair to say that General Eisenhower did not like it. In fact, not only him, but also few of the current U.S. military generals in Europe like General Patton, who is always talking nonsense.

Just because General Patton is very old, he was the adjutant of Pershing, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Expeditionary Force during the First World War, and before Pershing participated in World War I, he and Patton's sister were in love, and they were going to have a relationship. Engaged, the two agreed to marry immediately after the war.

That is to say, if they get married, the relationship between Pershing and Barton will change, and Barton will treat Pershing as his brother-in-law in the future.

When the First World War broke out, Pershing rushed to Europe, only to be separated from Patton's sister. Pershing has many subordinates in the current U.S. military, and is still alive as a super general, all of which must be considered.

In addition, Patton himself showed extraordinary bravery in the war, which was unique among the U.S. military, and General Eisenhower turned a blind eye.

As soon as he heard Marshal Zhukov mention Patton, General Eisenhower made two random sentences to divert the topic. Obviously he doesn't want to talk much about General Patton. He doesn't know yet in Berlin, and he will have the opportunity to put his annoying subordinates aside.

The military parade is still in progress. As a military parade that shows the military might of the British Empire, the United Kingdom cannot be said to be indifferent. Alan Wilson, who has only seen military parades in some countries with the Soviet system, is really not interested.

He didn't even have the motivation to come from the spring steps, so he could only tilt his head and say to Eiffel next to him, "I haven't seen it for a long time. The troops of the four countries occupying Berlin may all come one time."

"Of course, there is nothing more gratifying than holding a military parade in the enemy's capital." Eiffel replied with a smile, and then changed the subject, "Except the French!"

Forehead! Alan Wilson, with his mouth open in tears, added, "Even the French."

Alan Wilson, who was watching the military parade, even thought of Patton, an American general. To say that General Patton's first tough battle in the World War was as the commander of the Western Task Force of the North African Expeditionary Force, leading his troops to participate in the North African landing campaign, leading his troops Capture French Monaco and beat the French army! Alan Wilson regretted why he emphasized France, but France was the British ally on the colonial issue.

As the commander-in-chief of the British military parade in Berlin, Marshal Montgomery did not leave after the military parade ended. Marshal Montgomery, who was present as commander of the British occupation forces, wore what must have been a famous beret.

Marshal Zhukov stepped forward, turned around with a smile, and took out the Medal of Victory that had arrived from Moscow to Berlin. He personally wore it for Marshal Montgomery. The Kremlin pattern in the medal was made of gold, the background blue sky was sapphire, the red ground was ruby, and the white border And the radiance is assembled from diamond-set white gold bars, with five corners set with natural Russian rubies of five carats each.

Since the beginning of the military parade, Alan Wilson has been standing not far from the rostrum, adhering to the professionalism of an imperial civil servant, but seeing this scene, his eyes can no longer be moved.

Regardless of the materials used for this medal, it is only considered from other aspects of value. The central red part represents the Lenin Medal, the highest order of the Soviet Union, the green stripes represent the Suvorov Medal for organizing attacks and pursuits, and the dark blue stripes represent recognition. Order of Kutuzov for skillful retreat and counterattack.

The dark red stripes represent the Order of Alexander Nevsky for resistance to invaders, the light blue stripes represent the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky for regaining territory, and the orange stripes with black lines represent the Order of Glory for bravery .

There are only 20 Victory Medals in the world. One can imagine the value of this medal. Even Brezhnev, who can use the medal as a body armor, would only dare to award one to himself.

"Alan?" Eifel followed Alan Wilson's gaze and nodded clearly, "It looks very valuable."

You can't buy it with money! Alan Wilson reluctantly retracted his gaze, he would not think about this medal, unless he could package the British Empire and sell it to the Soviet Union, then he might be able to wear another one.

"You said that the Soviets awarded this medal to General Eisenhower, and now it is awarded to Field Marshal Montgomery. Why didn't you give it to the French, it shows that the Soviets don't respect the French." Eiffel was still thinking.

Alan Wilson sighed and said that his colleague is really enough. After Marshal Zhukov officially awarded the honor to Marshal Montgomery, the commander of the British occupation forces, the entire rostrum broke into warm applause.

The diplomats who were not on the rostrum, including Alan Wilson, and the soldiers of different countries around them cheered indulgently. In the eyes of the Berlin citizens who were observing the military parade, this kind of cheer belonged to the victor, but it was extremely bitter to watch~www. NovelMTL.com~ These soldiers who fought side by side and belonged to different countries still showed solidarity in the first year of defeating the enemy.

The British military parade, and the process of Marshal Zhukov awarding the Medal of Victory to Marshal Montgomery after the military parade, were naturally photographed by the British reporters in Berlin. Montgomery, Zhukov and Eisenhower naturally became an excellent background board. Attract sales.

It seems that all the newspapers feel that the united Allies will be invincible and end the war quickly after defeating Germany.

"As diplomats of the British Empire, we are about to face a test. After a while, President Truman of the United States and Stalin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, will come to Berlin. The British Empire will have an arduous negotiation with these two allies, It can be expected that the negotiations will be very difficult, and we must safeguard the interests of the British Empire."

In the headquarters of British control in Berlin, Alexander Cadogan spoke coldly to the diplomats in the room.

Alexander Cadogan came from an aristocratic family and studied at Eton College and Oxford University. Before the outbreak of World War II, he had become a senior civil servant of the British Foreign Office, taking advantage of the contradiction between then Prime Minister Chamberlain and the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who advocated preemptive strikes against Germany. , became the new permanent secretary of foreign affairs, that is, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

That is to say, he is now the immediate boss of the diplomats present, so naturally he received a response from everyone. The diplomats in the room all said that they must defend the interests of the British Empire to the end and fight against the Soviets and Americans.

"Then, let's first understand the goal set by the Foreign Secretary." Alexander Cadogan nodded and took out the negotiating conditions proposed by the British Foreign Secretary, and asked the diplomats present to discuss the feasibility.
