Chapter 636 We Are Sure to Win

"I just have some basic concerns." Gerrard said that he was very willing to agree because of Alan Wilson's reputation as a lobbyist, but there may be some irresistible factors.

Alan Wilson understands exactly what the irresistible factor is, saying that the next winner of the local Commonwealth Lottery in Newfoundland might be Gerrard.

"Will such a lucky thing happen? Allen?" The irresistible factor in Gerald has been reduced by most. The reliability index of the two sisters of the Heilman family is rising steadily.

"Who knows, there are always some lucky people in this world." Alan Wilson spread his hands and expressed his reverence for God with practical actions. While he was still in Europe, his biggest purpose was to help the Dragoons achieve their goals. this wish.

Alan Wilson knew that Germany's banking industry would never develop in the direction of the British and American banks. There is indeed something called nationality in some fields. For example, Britain and the United States always produce trusts, and Germany and Japan produce Concern.

In the financial core, among developed countries, the United Kingdom and the United States are typical capital market-driven financial systems, which means that corporate financing is mainly carried out in the capital market, and the role of banks is more to help companies issue issuances in the capital market. Financing products such as stocks and bonds. Germany and Japan, on the other hand, have typical bank-driven financial systems. In such systems, companies not only rely on banks to provide loan financing, but also usually have very close relationships with banks.

In a sense, Gerald Edward was still very fond of British Malaya. He knew about the distribution method of the issuance of Asian pounds, which were state-owned, private mixed and local banks.

As for the share of the local bank, the name is Sarawak Development Bank, Gerald Edward said, if he can be the executive vice president of Sarawak Development Bank at some time in the future?

"I never thought that British Malaya would have such an opportunity!" Alan Wilson agreed happily, "Why not? Officials like you, Gerald, should have more opportunities to benefit the public."

"Oh, there is such an opportunity." Gerald Edward understood, and then his face became serious, "Of course we all agree that for Britain, some old bankers have lagged behind the times, and the reliability of the Hellman family It’s self-evident.”

"It can even be used as a standard case for women's rights." Alan Wilson said nonchalantly, "Especially in Germany today."

After some communication, both Gerald Edward and Alan Wilson agreed and recognized the reliability of the Heilman family. For this reason, Gerald Edward made a promise that he would try his best to put the North Deutsche Bank, which was rooted in the British-occupied areas, into reliable hands.

Alan Wilson takes care of things he thinks are important,

McCarthy's I am Berliner speech, accompanying the launch of the Skywalk. The Soviet Union regarded these offensive remarks as confusing right and wrong, and the war of words was heating up.

There is no one who is responsible for the current situation in Germany, and splitting Germany into two halves was not a unilateral idea of ​​the Soviet Union. Whatever Stalin's attitude toward other European countries, his attitude toward Germany seemed to have been quite open for a long time.

Instead, it was changes in Western policy that triggered the de facto division of Germany. From the beginning, the Allies were divided over what to do with postwar Germany, and these differences existed not only between the Soviet Union and the West, but between every Western government.

Policymaking was chaotic at first, and the draconian "Morgenthau Plan" aimed at deindustrializing Germany was abandoned but still had an impact. Since then, Western countries' policies towards the German-occupied areas have undergone significant changes, from punishment to reconstruction.

The Marshall Plan was implemented to rebuild Europe after the war. It not only represented this change, but also recorded it. The Marshall Plan envisioned the economic and political reconstruction of Europe, decided to implement an open policy, search for markets, and use the Truman Doctrine to prevent the development of communism and curb the expansionist policies that the Soviet Union might pursue in Europe. These were all critical to the United States' new international role. Very beneficial.

The United States calculated that the Soviet-occupied zone, which had a non-market economic system, would reject this proposal. Therefore, the Marshall Plan represented a further clear distinction between West Germany and the Soviet-occupied zone. In the gradually emerging Cold War landscape, the United States placed the Federal Republic of Germany within the wider Western European economic and political organization.

Alan Wilson cherishes the memory of the British-occupied area. If it were not for the existence of the British-occupied area, Britain would never have repaid its short-term foreign debt so quickly, although the German economy may have started later than in history. But thinking about Japan, the Germans should be grateful.

Although he cannot reunify Germany, he can divide Japan, which is an Axis power, so the Germans should feel much more balanced. As for Italian Alan Wilson, there is really nothing he can do.

In 1945, Alan Wilson was still a young man and could not allow France to occupy Sardinia as compensation for Italy. It's quite a pity to think about it now.

When Alan Wilson turned his hand into clouds and rain in the Ruhr area, things were not going well in Berlin. West Berlin's material gap is 5,000 tons, and this is based on no waste.

The British transport capacity was not even half of it, and the supplies in West Berlin could not last more than a few days. This time, the Soviet Union made substantial moves after calculating accurately before taking action.

The external condition is that the United States is caught in a war, and because of the incident in Hokkaido, it rushes to Japan urgently and strengthens the stockpiling of materials on Honshu Island. At this time, if something happens in Berlin, the United States will be the first and the second largest.

From this perspective, the United States is very grateful to the United Kingdom for taking the lead and helping the United States mobilize shipping capacity to buy time.

British air transport capacity could not make up for the consumption of more than two million people in West Berlin. Although the Allied forces in West Berlin are fighting hard, supplies are still at the bottom visible to the naked eye.

Alan Wilson knows this fact, but he now pretends not to know it. After basic analysis, if West Berlin cannot be saved, it will be a failure of the United States, not a failure of Britain. The United Kingdom has already reacted early, and the United States is the one pulling the crotch.

If West Berlin cannot be saved in the end, Britain can be seen as trying its best, and the reputation of the United States will definitely fall worse than that of the United Kingdom.

Moreover, it is a false proposition that West Berlin cannot be saved. As long as the United Kingdom and the United States have this determination, West Berlin can definitely be saved, even if tens of thousands of Berliners starve to death. Anyway, with the hegemony of public opinion in hand, the West Berliners who starved to death could be blamed on the Soviet Union. Anyway, it was indeed the Soviet Union that blocked Berlin in the first place. They seized on the reason why the Soviet Union took action in the first place and blamed it.

When McCarthy, who had already arrived in Bavaria, sent a telegram saying that things were not optimistic, Alan Wilson responded out of courtesy, but only verbally expressed encouragement to the United States.

"My dear, you don't seem to care about the crisis in Berlin at all." Bokina looked worried, very worried about the continuation of the current confrontation.

"Oh, dear, why should I worry about something that is a sure thing." Alan Wilson smiled and said, "We will definitely defeat the Soviet Union this time, there is no doubt about it."

"But you also said that the current transportation capacity cannot supplement the needs of Berlin's more than two million people. If this continues, won't Berliners starve?" Anna asked cautiously after hearing this.

"Then just starve. In the final analysis, what the free world wants is the place in Berlin. What about Berliners? It's best if you can fight for it. But if you can't fight for it due to irresistible factors, you can save this deep dive anyway. Just nails in the heart of the Soviet camp." Alan Wilson told the truth. Although it was a bit cruel, what he said was the truth.

As long as the bottom line is set low enough, no one can morally kidnap me! Anyway, it was the Soviet Union that started the Berlin blockade in the first place. It would be best if Britain and the United States could save it. If not, it would cause a humanitarian crisis. The blame, of course, lies with the blockading Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson even believed that starving tens of thousands of people to death would be beneficial, as it could unite the hearts of the people of the free world and prove the ruthlessness of the Soviet Union.

In short, Berlin is a place that Britain and the United States will definitely protect. As for whether they will pay some price, that is not important. Anyway, there are Soviets to back us up.

"My darlings, don't worry about things in Berlin." Alan Wilson kissed each of the dragoon sisters on their faces and talked about some happy things, such as the fight for the Norddeutsche Bank.

Alan Wilson said that he worked hard for the sisters and must receive some compensation.

In fact, it was almost as he estimated. The supply of supplies in West Berlin decreased. After several days, it finally entered the control stage, and all supplies in the market were sold out. When the British transport plane carrying the Union Jack flag arrived in Berlin again, it was not surrounded by cheers like it was at the beginning.

This is the bad thing about people gathering together. A lot of fake news spreads very quickly. Rumors have emerged in West Berlin that Britain and the United States have decided to abandon the place, which has led to scattered teams fleeing West Berlin.

This trend was quickly fed back to London, Washington, and Paris through the institutions of Britain, the United States, and France in Berlin.

The feedback to Paris is ridiculous, and France cannot help at all.

The fact that people in West Berlin are panic-stricken will not lessen as the material gap gradually decreases. Even on the seventh day of air transport, Britain and the United States had already increased the air transport tonnage to 2,800 tons.

British public opinion has begun to call for the United States to increase its air transport efforts and send everything that can fly to Europe.

Britain's public statement let the whole world know that the situation in Berlin was extremely critical, and more than two million Berliners were facing the threat of running out of food.
