British civil servant

It’s just that for Alan Wilson, this is hundreds of thousands of lives after all. After these Yugoslavian fatherland troops were repatriated, as many as 10,000+ people were purged. For these fringe groups in World War II, the future fate is too cruel .

The direct reason is that the British Empire did not do things properly. Knowing what the fate of these people was, and because it was the British who were at fault, Alan Wilson was really thinking of a way to see if there was any way to save these people.

Hearing that the chief executive of Bavaria is Barton, Alan Wilson suddenly felt that there was no escaping road.

Four-star general Patton, this name is well-known in later generations. For Patton, the best war will never end. Like Churchill, Patton's hostility to the Soviet Union is also very obvious. The difference is that Churchill stole it. And Patton has even begun to prepare for war with the Soviet Union.

The end of the world war means that Patton's path to realizing the value of life is coming to an end. If the Soviet-American war breaks out, then continue to command the US military to march eastward, gain higher honors, and step into the pinnacle of his military career. All of this will be logical Rather than saying that he is thinking about the two countries, the two nations, and the two political systems, it is better to say that he is thinking about himself.

If there is a way to connect the Yugoslavian Fatherland Army with Patton, who is currently in charge of Bavaria, Alan Wilson believes that Patton may agree with these Tito opponents to stay in Bavaria temporarily.Because Patton himself can make such a decision with his purely military thinking.

All that was needed was someone in the middle to arrange a meeting between the leader of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and General Patton.

As the evening approached, diplomats like Alan Wilson changed their place of residence to a peaceful place and spent the night preparing for the second surrender ceremony the next day. They had already received news that Field Marshal Montgomery and American five-star general Eisenhower will be present.

The British diplomats who prepared the documents for the official surrender complained very much about the Soviet Union’s overstaffed behavior, “Didn’t the Germans surrender once, and the Soviets will make them surrender a second time.”

"According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kremlin was dissatisfied with the last surrender." Alan Wilson said helplessly while flipping through the documents, "The Soviets and the Germans fought bloody battles for several years, and the surrender was ignored, so it is only natural to protest As it should be."

In Reims, a small city in northeastern France, a signing ceremony for Germany's unconditional surrender had already been held. At that time, the German government sent Admiral Jodl as a signing representative.

Under the protest of the Soviet Union, in order to maintain the unity among the Allies in World War II and avoid the embarrassment of tearing up the face just after defeating Germany, and also counted on the Soviet Red Army to help the United States solve Japan, the Anglo-American Allies and the Soviet Union reached an agreement and decided to be in the next day. In Berlin, another surrender ceremony was held under the auspices of the Soviet Union.The surrender ceremony was indeed much more grand, and both sides sent officials of almost the highest level to attend.

"All the documents have been prepared, and we are waiting for the surrender ceremony tomorrow. It will definitely be very lively. The Soviets will definitely make the scene grand." Alan Wilson stretched his waist and yawned.

"It's as if you know the Soviet Union very well." Eifel smiled dismissively, "You should be checked by MI[-]."

"This joke is not funny." Alan Wilson said solemnly. Now there are indeed spies in the UK, even in MI[-].

The next morning, Alan Wilson and other diplomats got up early, not to go to the Berlin market to find a German woman who could be rescued, but to meet Air Force Admiral Ted,

Admiral Ted was the representative who signed on behalf of the United Kingdom at the surrender ceremony.Although Montgomery and Eisenhower were sure to attend, they only came to express the unity among the Allies. Because they had already signed a contract before, the signer who accepted the surrender of Germany this time represented another person.

Representatives from various countries drove to Karlshorst on the outskirts of Berlin. Along the way, cars with national flags flew through the urban area of ​​Berlin. On the corners of the streets, countless Berlin citizens secretly watched the victor's bravado, and their hearts were full of complexities.

"You see, they look pitiful now. If they were relocated, they would definitely not look like this." Alan Wilson tilted his head and said to his colleagues, "Think about how they humiliated the French a few years ago. Everything is wrong. reason."

Exercising out of the urban area, both sides of the road have been occupied by soldiers of the Soviet Red Army. Just like Alan Wilson said, how to make a scene grand, the Soviet Union does have such a talent.

The surrender site was already crowded with people and surrounded by Soviet officers and soldiers. Representatives of the surrender from the United States, Britain and France got out of the car one after another and saluted the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army.

Journalists from various countries seized the opportunity to take pictures, and the shutter sound kept recording this scene that demonstrated the unity of the Allies and safeguarded world peace.

Under the auspices of Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union, this time, the ceremony known as the formal acceptance of surrender began. Zhukov read out the request for unconditional surrender on behalf of the Soviet Union. When the German representative, Marshal Keitel, led the German delegation to the signing hall, he raised his hand The scepter salutes the allied representatives.

Compared with the surrender ceremony of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, the Soviets were obviously much stricter, but the French representative, General Delancey, appreciated this move very much. Five years ago, the surrender of Marshal Keitel on behalf of Germany was the time when France The German representatives at the surrender ceremony, not to mention the famous humiliation of the Foch carriage.

Feng Shui turns, and war is a winner-takes-all game. General Delancey will represent France today, and together with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, will witness Germany's unconditional surrender. Air Force Admiral Ted, representing the United Kingdom, and General Delancey, representing France In the presence of Montgomery and Eisenhower, General Spazz, commander of the US Strategic Air Force, and Soviet Marshal Zhukov signed the surrender letter.

All around, countless officers and soldiers shouted loudly, shouting for the hard-won peace. Montgomery and Eisenhower stepped forward and took a group photo with Soviet Marshal Zhukov to celebrate the official surrender of Germany.

"I am also a witness of history, although I don't have a place for me." Alan Wilson looked at this scene with his waist pinched, and he was also happy with the end of the war.

Chapter 45 Disappointed Patton

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

Eisenhower also brought a gift to Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Red Army, a truck full of Coca-Cola, and Eisenhower, who was holding Coca-Cola directly in his hand, 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 yet. The Japanese in the Far East are still unwilling to accept this great victory. The United States of America and the Soviet Socialist Republic The alliance must continue to fight."

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

Coca-Cola actually made another tweak to its personalized offerings.The company created a colorless white cola at the request of a very specific customer, 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 providing supplies for the US army, but also recommended Coke to the famous Soviet Marshal Zhukov for the first time.

This time Eisenhower came to Berlin and just brought fifty boxes of Coca-Cola to Marshal Zhukov.Because the Soviet Union had a ban on Coca-Cola, no one could buy more than fifty cases of Coke for the first time.Eisenhower's move is also to abide by the ban, and at the same time establish a friendly personal relationship with Marshal Zhukov.

Other people at the scene of the surrender ceremony also shared American drinks under the light of Marshal Zhukov.

"Look at how happy the Soviets are drinking." Eifel also held a bottle of Coke and said, "It seems that it is not impossible to touch."

This is not the people's Coke!Alan Wilson almost couldn't hold back his laughter. People's Coke is a meme from the Soviet era.PepsiCo couldn't hold up its head because it was suppressed by Coca-Cola, so it thought of opening up a market without Coca-Cola.

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

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

"Hmm! I agree with that." Eisenhower thought a lot when he heard Zhukov's words, but he didn't refuse.

The other British and French generals present, including General Montgomery and General Delancey, did not object. In fact, they did not think that if the joint military parade of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France was held in Berlin, the protagonist would of course be the Soviet Red Army, which was heavily concentrated near Berlin. 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 parade together to show unity.It is also possible to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the imaginary enemy in secret. Marshal Zhukov's proposal was unanimously agreed for various reasons.

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

"This is a demonstration by the Soviets against us!" Of course, not everyone thinks so. In Munich, the center of Bavaria, a city famous for its Munich conspiracy, it has only been a few days since he became the chief executive of Bavaria, the third largest in the United States. The commander of the group army, the four-star general Patton, was furious, and his vulgar words made it 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. He even gave the Soviets Coke. It's a joke."

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

To achieve the position of a five-star general, how come you have to learn to conceal your true intentions?But there are exceptions to everything, and General Patton is just a senior general who is unwilling to do so.

"In my eyes, this is just a war that has been abandoned halfway. The real enemy has not been eliminated." Patton sighed angrily. "Well, maybe I am too pessimistic. Hasn't Japan surrendered yet? I can go to the Far East .”

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

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 before Japan surrenders, the hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union will not be so obvious. .

He knew that this report would pass through MI[-], and it was highly probable that Philby would see it. Regarding the Yugoslav forces opposing Tito, he used ambiguous language to brush it off, emphatically stating that the joint military parade would become a Soviet Union The home court of the Red Army, but there is such an opportunity to closely evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army, which should not be missed.

Putting down his 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 do it yourself, but to wait for the local affairs to be handled by someone, and to pass helplessly.

It seems that this is a difficult task, but it is not difficult. Refugees from the Yugoslav Homeland Army have poured into the border. When the next report comes up, he can go along with the flow and be sent there helplessly.

Chapter 46 The Allen Report

For the British media people 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 permanently.

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

Of course, these Berlin reporters who have been sent by major newspapers, and even Alan Wilson himself know.It was a little late to guide public opinion. The elite forces of the Soviet NKVD had dug three feet into the ground in the Soviet-occupied area to search for German military scientists whose names were put on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

All this even kept the Americans who hadn't reacted in the dark. They didn't know that their secret actions had been fully seen by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were closely watching every move.

On the streets of London, reports about 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 stepped on its old rival, the Germans.

During the celebration of defeating the old enemy, the London government also relaxed its control. Almost instantly, London was lifted from the state of wartime. In this atmosphere of celebration, Philby came to his friend's house in casual clothes. .

"Oh, Philby, isn't it very lively outside?" Donald McLean was not surprised by this at all. During the conversation, I. Francis Burgess came out of the back room and nodded to Philby.

"Oh, celebrating the surrender of the Germans is something worth letting go of for most people." 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 from Berlin to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Philby shrugged and said to Donald, "Actually, even if I don't bring it over, you should see it right away. According to the procedure, we will check it tomorrow." After that, it will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Donald McLean, born in [-].Served as a British diplomat in France, the United States, Egypt and other countries.McLean's father was a Scot born in England, a Liberal politician and former chairman of the Education Committee.

At the age of 20, McLean stepped into the door of the Foreign Office for the first time. Since then, he has also become the first person among the five elites of Cambridge to break into the core of the British regime.

"Is it the written report from Berlin? Let me see it!" Donald McLean immediately became interested when he heard Philby say this, flipped through it, and soon devoted himself to 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 a symbol of our civil servants in the British Empire? But, Philby, you seem Pay attention to him."

Alan Wilson needs to know that if he gives money to French women on the streets of Paris, he will have such a great influence. He may consider resigning from his public office at an appropriate time, join the Conservative Party or the Labor Party, conduct election campaigns, and may become the British Empire Prime Minister.

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

Burgess reached out his hand to signal that he should be safe, and then he took the document and read it. The document in front of the three of them was written by Allen Wilson, a report that took 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 mentioned in one sentence, but also very detailed.

In Alan Wilson's report, he first criticized the Soviet Union as a possible threat to world peace and turned people in the free world into Soviet puppets. analyzed.

"With the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army, after four years of bloody battles 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 have an impact on the Soviet-occupied area through certain means. It is the United States, which has this economic strength."

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 and French-occupied areas can use their strong economic power to exert influence on the Soviet-occupied areas.

Up to the current paragraph, everything is still normal, but in the last paragraph it is written, "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, in terms of the army, the alliance The Soviet Union is difficult to match, and the Soviet Union must be imprisoned through superficial easing actions. Under the premise of maintaining the current status quo in Europe, the weak link that may appear is actually not in Europe, but in Asia."

"Based on my experience in British India, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is no longer comparable to that of four years ago. Not to mention the troops facing the European battlefield, even the British Indian Army in British India is also very difficult."

"Once the Soviet Union transfers the Soviet Red Army from Europe to Asia, with the current strength of the allies in Asia, it is likely that they will not be able to take over the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is not good at the navy, but Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido can be crossed without a large navy. What's more What's more, the combined Japanese fleet has been completely lost, and the Soviets can land even as bathtubs, but once landed, the old, weak, sick and disabled in Japan are definitely no match for the Soviet Red Army."

"Once the Soviet Red Army occupies Hokkaido, the environment of the fragile Far East will be greatly changed. If Hokkaido is in the hands of the allies, the whole of Japan will be the front line for the allies to blockade the Soviet Union. If Hokkaido falls into the hands of the Soviet Union, it will in turn become the front line for Japan's core areas. Even if the troops are stationed in Japan, Britain and the United States will not be safe."

"Well, 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, it's hard for me to believe that this is an administrative civil servant from the colonies. I also believe that he has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many years." Burgess frowned and said solemnly, "But the analysis of Japan? "

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

"Then it goes without saying that the news must be passed on to the Soviet comrades immediately." Donald said decisively, "Greedy imperialists are not even willing to pretend to be friendly. It's really shameless."

Chapter 47 Southward to Vienna

This report, because Alan Wilson knew the existence of the Cambridge Five, had long been prepared to leak it.

For now, after thinking about it, he feels that no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the British Empire.The United States and the United Kingdom in [-] are still qualified to say no.

In fact, it can be seen from the division of Germany occupied by the divisions of the Yalta Conference that the Soviet Union occupied more than 40.00% of German land, and the Soviet Union occupied the largest area.The British-occupied area occupies the most industrially powerful Ruhr area in Germany, as well as the excellent coastline and ports in the northwest, and the American-occupied area is Bavaria in southern Germany.

The area occupied by the United States is not as large as that of the Soviet Union, and it is not an industrial area. It is not as densely populated and industrially developed as the British-occupied area.The Soviet Union occupied the largest land, and the United Kingdom occupied the best resources and population. On the contrary, the United States seemed very embarrassed.Now, together with the United Kingdom, part of the land will be allocated to France.

As a result of this division, the United States is of course at a disadvantage, and the United States has great opinions on this plan.On the one hand, it believed that the area occupied by the Soviet Union was too large; on the other hand, the Ruhr area it was interested in fell into British hands.As a result, the United States formulated a new occupation plan.

The new plan put forward by the Americans is simply to reverse the American-occupied area and the British-occupied area. The British occupied southern Germany, and the American-occupied area became the current British-occupied area, which of course included the Ruhr area.

The diplomatic confrontation between Britain and the United States to exchange occupied areas, from the Cairo meeting to the Yalta meeting, the United Kingdom has not made any concessions. As the Soviet Red Army is getting stronger and stronger, the United States has no choice but to accept the reality and accept the current division honestly.

As for the origin of the French-occupied area, Britain pushed the United States to the front line of confrontation with the Soviet Union. For the purpose of wooing France, the original intention of Britain and France to contain the United States after the war was the strategy of wooing France.

Among them, how many verbal battles between the British Foreign Office and the Americans, and the assistance of the Soviet Red Army caused the United States to suffer a dull loss. It is not something Alan Wilson can guess. He is still bathing in the glory of the holy cow in British India among.

However, this division of occupied areas has brought about a problem. The British-occupied areas have nothing to do with the Balkans.The opponents of Tito in Yugoslavia have actually been unable to reach the British.

This is actually an illusion, because Austria is also occupied by partitions. Austria's partitions are similar to Germany. The Soviet Union occupies the largest area, and the United Kingdom occupies the best location and population.The British-occupied area just happened to face these opponents of Tito.

But Austria is currently occupied by divisions in name, but in fact, the occupied areas of the United States, Britain and France are pitifully small, similar to undefended areas. The occupied areas in name are completely restrained by the Soviet Red Army.

In the eyes of anti-Germans from various countries supported by Britain for the reason of fighting against Germany before the war, Britain is still the world's number one colonial empire. They don't know that Britain is exhausted internally and can no longer suppress it. Both the United States and the Soviet Union should consider uniting with France to protect themselves.

So the Fatherland Army of Yugoslavia, as well as other organizations opposed to Tito, still sought to surrender to Britain.

Two days after the surrender ceremony of Germany, Allen Wilson was thinking about whether to use a pack of cigarettes to find a German dragoon to clean the apartment he sponsored, and save the German women who lost their feet by the way, and help the other party when they just needed it.

The British representative office in Vienna sent a telegram, and there were still Tito opponents gathered on the border, including the Yugoslav Homeland Army, the Croatian Ustasha, and the Slovenian Home Defense Army. There are many people who cannot be named, and there may be real refugees among them. Liquidated by Tito.

These organizations are very complicated. Chetnik is mainly composed of Serbs who supported the Yugoslav Kingdom government. It was an anti-German armed force active in Yugoslavia during World War II. Its official name was the Yugoslav Fatherland Army. The name "Chetnik" is derived from a Serbian word, and along with the king of Yugoslavia, was supported by the British in the early days.

Croatian Ustasa Bulgarian capital Sofia is formed with the goal of making Croatia independent from Yugoslavia, supported by Germany and Italy.As for the Slovenian Home Defense Force, it is another organization supported by Germany.

Now these anti-Tito forces belong to different organizations, because the Yugoslav Communist Party led by Tito has controlled Yugoslavia. Driven by the instinct of survival, they began to flee Yugoslavia and went to the border of Austria and Germany to pray for asylum.

Smoking a cigarette and resting in his room, Alan Wilson heard footsteps outside the door, and immediately picked up the telegram from Vienna again, making a sad face, looking very embarrassed.

"Alan, what's the matter?" Ai Fuer saw Alan Wilson's constipated expression as soon as he entered the door, and he almost felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking.

"It's a matter in the direction of the Balkans. The Yugoslav Fatherland Army has gathered on the Austrian border. The number has exceeded [-]. If you don't deal with it, something may happen." Allen Wilson said worriedly, "There may be something wrong. You should consider persuasion immediately, let These people went back to Yugoslavia."

"10 people?" Eifel frowned. "The number is quite a lot. We have almost no troops in Austria. The divisional occupation in name is actually just the Soviet Red Army occupying eastern Austria. Outside the zone, the occupied areas of the other three countries in Austria do not have many troops and cannot be defended at all."

"Yeah, if these Yugoslavs break through the border, will we let the Austrian army intercept it?" Alan Wilson, the best actor, also looked worried.Small omissions just after World War II can lead to big problems.

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest. Unlike Germany's sub-occupation, Austria's sub-occupation only exists in name. If these Yugoslav opponents are determined to cross the border at all costs, Britain, France and the United States will not have many troops to intercept them. It's really embarrassing.

Now we just need someone to help these people make up their minds, to cross the border in an organized, planned and premeditated manner, rather than a mess of scattered sand.

"The Austrian representative office has been persuading these people in good faith with the purpose of avoiding the hostility of the Soviet Union. But the number of people is increasing, and we still need to pay more attention." Alan Wilson said, "How about I go It would be the best thing if Vienna can persuade these people to return to Yugoslavia.”

"I hope so, even if it's to trick them." Eifel nodded solemnly, agreeing with Alan Wilson's idea very much. As long as these Yugoslavs go back, it will be Tito's business and has nothing to do with Britain.

"Okay! I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson agreed, coaxing?How could someone as honest as him do that kind of thing?

Chapter 48 The City of Spies

Honesty is an excellent character. Alan Wilson, who started from Greater Berlin, represents the British Empire. He is not fighting alone, and he naturally disdains to use lies to achieve his goals.

If the final result is that these Yugoslav refugees are unwilling to go back, but trick everyone into forcibly crossing the border.Of course, he is not responsible. As a gentleman of the British Empire, he has tried his best to persuade.
