British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 37: Anglo-French friendship

Arriving in Paris, Alan Wilson, the foreign representatives, faced the problem of dividing the occupied area. During the Yalta Conference, the occupation of the future Germany was the occupation of the three divisions of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. However, in the subsequent discussions, given that France still has huge colonies as support, the Soviet Union did not insist too much on the French-occupied areas.

The first thing Alan Wilson, the representatives stationed abroad, is to talk to the United States and France to discuss the details of the establishment of the French-occupied area, as well as the question of when the occupying forces will officially move in.

Although I believe that the negotiations between the Allied forces and the remaining German armed forces will soon yield results, and that the surrender of Germany is just around the corner, the problems in Germany are still very big, not to mention that some diehard armed forces are still resisting . The country alone cannot sustain the expenses of the occupying army.

It can be seen from the statistics fed back by the soldiers on the front line. Alan Wilson and other representatives abroad couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw the cold data.

Sixty-six percent of the houses in Cologne were destroyed; 93 percent of the houses in Düsseldorf were uninhabitable; 80,000 of the 180,000 houses in Frankfurt were destroyed.

3.5 million of the 5.5 million dwellings in British occupation were either completely destroyed or badly damaged. Within the territory of Germany, 2.34 million of the original 16 million houses were destroyed, and more than 4 million were damaged by at least 25%.

Some of the Allied people who had heard reports of the destruction of the houses began to be surprised when they first entered Germany to see so many buildings still standing there. In fact, most of them only have one shell left. Few of the buildings in the big cities are undamaged, and in Hanover, less than one percent of buildings are undamaged.

"According to the statistics of the commander of the expeditionary force, 93% of the railways in the British-occupied area allocated to us at the Yalta Conference have been damaged, and the railways that can be used for traffic are less than 1,000 kilometers, and they are not connected to each other, which is almost equal to Completely unusable." Efor raised the document in Yang's hand and placed it in front of Alan Wilson.

"It has been destroyed like this. You must know that the Ruhr area is the heart of German industry." Another representative abroad glanced at the statistics and sighed, "It's not bad that this is a huge burden."

"It was brought up by the Germans." Alan Wilson didn't change his face, he had no sympathy for the Germans. If people themselves insist on supporting the great head of state to fight for the country, they should be mentally prepared for the current outcome.

During his second year in high school, he might have been influenced by Germany's handsome uniforms and aggressive slogans. Now? Save it.

Even from a basic standpoint, the Germans have nothing to complain about. They are all mature industrial powers and should be responsible for their own choices.

"It is undeniable that even for the convenience of the occupying forces, we have to repair the railways, bridges and infrastructure in the occupation area." Alan Wilson put the statistical data file aside, "Our British occupation area is a German industrial area. Part of the essence, the advantage is that there are many remaining crafts and machines, which may be helpful to the mainland, but the disadvantage is that the air raids by the Allied forces in the British-occupied areas should be the most tragic, even if it is wealth, it is also troublesome."

"Uh, Allen, I think that the damage to the British-occupied area is so serious. The most important reason is the deep destruction ordered by Hitler and the German High Command. In fact, this has little to do with our Allied air raids." Eifel calmly said. Correcting Alan Wilson, "We have evidence of reorganization that the German army is the source of all the difficulties right now."

"That's right, that's right. The Germans did it themselves, and it has nothing to do with the Allies in the civilized world." Alan Wilson instantly changed his attitude and regretted the wrong view with a direct apology, of course. It was the result of the Germans' own scorched earth policy.

The great Allied forces strictly enforced iron-like discipline in the war. No matter under any circumstances, they did nothing to ordinary citizens. Even if there were a very small number of scum, it would not damage the image of the Allied forces.

dong dong dong! Along with a knock on the door, a soldier pushed the door open and reported, "Mr. Allen, Mister Eiffel, the French liaison has arrived and wants to talk to the foreign representative who just arrived in Paris."

"We'll be there soon!" Eiffel responded, and his expression changed when the soldiers left. "It must be a matter of communicating with the French occupied areas. These French people are always looking for trouble for us, and we haven't even rested yet. In the same way, the lack of strength but one-sided maintenance of the so-called dignity of the French people is really disgusting."

"But we have no choice but to talk to them. The current situation is rather strange, especially in this kind of negotiation of the aftermath and sharing the cake, the role of our allies may not be so fixed." Alan Wilson shrugged~www.mtlnovel. com~ also felt helpless about this, "unless we are ready, put aside de Gaulle and others to talk, it is estimated that Stalin will be happy about this."

The current situation in France, apart from de Gaulle, who else can we talk to? Of course, the current largest party in France, the French Communist Party!

Now, apart from de Gaulle, there is no one in France who can hold down the French co-op, so even if de Gaulle and his supporters show rebelliousness again, Alan Wilson has to endure it, let alone those who came to France. Representatives, even Roosevelt, Churchill, have to hold their noses and respect de Gaulle unless they want to talk to Red France.

When it comes to facing de Gaulle and his supporters, Britain and the United States have different views. Compared with Americans, the British really want to pull the French, and they are more sincere when they treat the French.

In the final analysis, both Britain and France still have huge colonies in their hands. In name, the British Empire still has 3,000 square kilometers of colonies around the world, and France also has more than 10 million square kilometers of colonies.

In the face of the Soviet Union, which clearly wants to liberate the world, or the United States under the banner of national self-determination, the two overlords of the previous generation should stand on the same front.

"For nine hundred years, we have had many wars with France, and now we are going to sit together again." Leaving the office, Alan Wilson and Eiffel walked side by side, and when they walked outside the building, their faces were already Filled with smiles, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with the French representative who came over, and said, "It's so polite, we just arrived."

"The great ally came to Paris. If we don't hurry up, won't the gentlemen be unhappy?" The people who came here responded enthusiastically.
