Chapter 63

"It seems that we are warming up for an important meeting." Eifel said mysteriously, "very important meeting."

Very important meeting? Alan Wilson suddenly remembered, the Potsdam meeting? Earlier?

Of course he knew where Potsdam was. The southwestern suburbs of Greater Berlin were considered safe in terms of location, not far from Greater Berlin. The four-nation troops stationed in Greater Berlin could eliminate any possible dangerous factors.

The Potsdam Conference, of course, discussed a lot of issues, but the main issues are just a few. Who has the final say on the post-war European order and how to divide the forces. Before the war, the Soviet Union and Germany divided Poland together. Although Germany was defeated, the Soviet Union was not defeated. .

It is almost impossible to expect the Soviet Union to cede occupied eastern Poland. The issue between Poland and the Soviet Union is very complicated. During the Russian Empire, Poland was part of the Russian Empire. Issues such as the Soviet-Polish War, Poland's torture and killing of prisoners of war, etc., are not easy to solve.

The problem is that one of the parties involved in the Soviet-Polish War is Stalin himself, the current leader of the Soviet Union. The failure of the Soviet-Polish War caused an uproar in the Soviet Union and gave Stalin a great embarrassment. Other people involved include Trotsky, the father of the Soviet Red Army, and Tukhachevsky, who has the title of Red Napoleon.

Stalin and Trotsky had serious differences and struggles with each other on operational plans and deployments. In the battle against Poland, Trotsky relied on the Western Front, while Stalin focused on the Southwest Front: After the defeat, Trotsky believed that Stalin’s Southwest Front Army in the Soviet-Polish War was slow to move to the main battlefield—the reinforcements on the Western Front were the Red Army A major reason for failure.

Poland was the place where Stalin was forcibly suppressed by Trotsky, so the Soviet Union would never spit out the eastern territories occupied by the Soviet Union, so in the end, the eastern territories of Germany were occupied by Poland as compensation.

As long as he thinks about it for a while, Alan Wilson knows that this conference that will determine the post-war European order will definitely last for a long time. In fact it is.

Alan Wilson walked to the window, held the window sill with one hand and asked without a trace, "From this point of view, we are warming up for the upcoming summit meeting?"

"London's words are vague, and that's probably the case." Eifel was busy with his own affairs, and said unintentionally, "There will be a general election in July, and Prime Minister Churchill may want to increase his confidence."

"That makes sense." Alan Wilson decisively accepted this explanation. Isn't this the very famous defeat of Churchill? Halfway through the Potsdam Conference, he returned to London disheartened, and continued to attend the conference with a new prime minister.

Alan Wilson did not think there was a problem with some politicians in the position of civil servants. Churchill may not have considered this issue in history, but this time and space has suddenly considered this issue. This is also very normal. How can politicians not consider elections?

But he was also a little worried. The mine had just been planted. What if it exploded just in time for the Potsdam meeting? Alan Wilson, who was leaning on the window sill, looked cloudy and uncertain. Things in Europe were too complicated. He actually missed the happy life of British India now.

Compared with the complicated situation in Europe, the political environment in British India is more relaxed. How to distribute and how to deal with it, the British Indian government still has an absolutely strong position. If you take a step back, you can make money with peace of mind and don't worry about being discovered by others. The prosperity of the British Empire is indeed built on the colonies.

The matter has come to this point, and Alan Wilson couldn't do nothing because of worry, so he quickly joined the preparation work, "I don't know who will host the military parade we hold independently?"

"It should be Marshal Montgomery. The marshal has been too busy recently, constantly accepting awards and celebrations from various countries. I heard that the Soviet Union seems to have prepared the Victory Medal and is ready to award Marshal Montgomery." Eifel took out a card Paper,

Handed it to Alan Wilson and said, "This is a notice from the Soviets."

"That's something worth celebrating, and the marshal deserves such treatment from all parties." Alan Wilson smiled, not to mention whether Montgomery himself is a first-class star, but Montgomery is definitely outstanding at the military level.

After the surrender of Germany, the huge population of soldiers and refugees became the main problem of the occupying forces, and these people needed to be borne by the British army to eat. Hunger and disease became problems that Montgomery urgently needed to solve. In order to restore order as soon as possible, he formulated a management plan and implemented it in time.

Montgomery was determined to stop the trend of British officers and soldiers occupying German houses or looting at will.

Require all subordinate troops to move out of the urban area, strictly control personnel going out, and prohibit entry and exit of hotels, restaurants, etc.; and strictly prohibit individual or collective robbery. Anyone who violates this order, regardless of their rank, will be tried by a military court.

Montgomery's headquarters also had a staff group composed of German prisoners of war to assist the British occupying forces in managing German prisoners of war. In terms of fair treatment of prisoners, Britain's attitude far surpassed that of the Soviet Union and the United States.

Because Montgomery is a pure soldier, but unlike a war madman like Patton, he does not have much prejudice against the Soviet Union on the surface, and has a good relationship with the Soviet military generals. It is very appropriate to host this military parade.

After meeting and saying hello to Eifel, Alan Wilson returned to his temporary residence in Berlin.

After leaving Berlin for a period of time, Allen Wilson saw that the order in Berlin had been restored, and there were fewer ruins.

Returning to the temporary apartment with a cigarette in his mouth, Alan Wilson cleaned up the house and muttered, "I'm looking for a servant, at least I have to live here for a while."

Although he wished to return to British India immediately, he had to solve the immediate problem.

Alan Wilson's return to Berlin was not a secret operation, and naturally everyone who should know knew about it.

"Let's see if we can hire a servant tomorrow!" Alan Wilson complained in front of his colleagues who came to visit at night, "I went to Vienna and almost forgot about the things here."

"There is no shortage of labor force in Berlin now. We have servants everywhere we live, and we can choose them at will." Several colleagues laughed, showing a look that everyone understood.

"You? Are the servants you are looking for taking care of the daily life or you?" Alan Wilson winked and said, "Then I will go out tomorrow to see how the city of Berlin is recovering. You have to follow me. But I’m not familiar with you, so don’t get lost and let Soviet soldiers arrest me and call me an imperialist spy.”

Ha ha! There was a burst of laughter in the apartment, and Alan Wilson, who claimed that no one knew refugees better than me, was especially happy.
