Chapter 65 British Army in Berlin

At least in 1945, Berlin had just been captured for a month, and the world war was not over yet. The four-power occupying forces and the four-power occupying institutions in Berlin can still achieve unity.

Of course, the soldiers did not know that they were facing long-term competitors in the future. Even many middle and high-level generals did not regard each other as an enemy. At this time, it was not uncommon for soldiers from various countries in Berlin to visit each other and often celebrate.

The Soviet soldiers played the accordion, which aroused applause from the British soldiers. The American soldiers shared cigarettes with the Soviets, talking about when they could return home and live a peaceful life. It's not like MI6 and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have started to attack each other's territory.

In the building of the British Foreign Office in Berlin, Alan Wilson just finished writing a proposal. Simply put, it is a document that the United States is anti-intellectual, the Soviet Union is barbaric, and France is not worthy of being a victorious country. It is used for publicity in Germany and even Europe.

After experiencing the thrill of punching the United States and kicking the Soviet Union, Allen Weir was very satisfied.

"At least we can't let those farmers who don't know which country in the United States bring our young European women back to the country, can't we?" Seeing Mark looking at the document with a strange expression, Alan Wilson explained, "Otherwise, this is what the British Empire wants to do. European civilization is irresponsible. In fact, how did Germany lose the war? Now you can ask any European, and everyone knows who made the greatest contribution.”

It is now 1945, and Europeans still know that the Soviet Red Army is the decisive force to defeat Germany, not the United States in the 21st century to save the world.

"However, the Americans are our allies of the UK." Mark was a little restless, and this was nothing.

"The United States is just a suspicious ally who cares about our colonies of the British Empire. It is more dangerous than the Soviet Union on the colonial issue." Alan Wilson corrected with a cold face, "Of course, in terms of defending Europe, our interests are the same as those of the Americans. But that's only about Europe, I can't be wrong about the colonies, I'm a civil servant working in British India."

If all the colonies are lost, Britain will have no choice but to be the follower of the Americans in the future. The simplest truth is that with a large population and a large country, we can achieve stable development with the military power to protect ourselves.

As far as the area and population of the British Isles are concerned, the population of the United States and the Soviet Union is three times that of the United Kingdom. The value created by three people, the British need one person to bridge the gap. How can this be possible.

Just like China can force Americans to jump into the sea as long as China has one-third of the average per capita of Americans. Of course, there are many counterexamples in the future, and India is a negative example.

Because the population size is only one-third of that of the United States, even if the United Kingdom restores the same economic level as the United States, it will still be the result of being crushed by the United States. Therefore, Alan Wilson believes that it is necessary to retain a good foundation and not a small area. Colonies focus on management, and British India is hopeless, but the British Empire with its rich heritage still has candidates.

Once the confrontation with the Soviet Union begins, Alan Wilson certainly hopes that the Americans will fight the Soviets in the front, and the British will provide support in the second line of defense, otherwise he will jump up and down to guide Mikhailovich and guide the other party to Patton's Bavaria. What?

This is actually what Prime Minister Churchill dreamed of. It is not a new tactic to take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Americans. Its history can be traced back to the end of World War I, when Britain and France lobbied the United States, hoping to form an army dominated by the American Expeditionary Force to attack Soviet Russia, which had fallen into the hands of the Bolsheviks.

It was not done at the beginning, and now it is just that Churchill wants to repeat the old tricks to buy time for the British Empire to adjust.

"Guys, the Seventh Armored Division is participating in the military parade, and many generals from the Allied forces will be there." Eifel came in and clapped his hands to attract attention, "As for the news from the Soviets, it will be June 20 A military parade will be held on the 4th.

On the same day, Moscow's Red Square and Berlin hosted at the same time, and the commander-in-chief of Berlin was Marshal Zhukov. "

Alan Wilson, with his legs crossed, frowned. On June 24th, Moscow and Berlin held military parades at the same time? This must be different from history. Zhukov is the commander-in-chief in Berlin. Who is the commander-in-chief in Moscow? Stalin himself?

It’s not that he is a liaison officer who insists on digging into the details. In the case of previous historical memories, if there is a slight change, it will be very uncomfortable. This is like the uncanny valley effect. The more similar a robot is to humans, because it is too similar Instead, it makes people feel scared.

"After the military parade in Moscow and the joint military parade, the heads of state will have an important meeting to decide on the post-war order." Eifel glanced at his colleagues, "Everyone must strictly abide by the confidentiality regulations, no problem Bar."

"No problem!" Everyone answered very calmly.

The 7th Armored Division that received the military parade has arrived in Berlin. Diplomats like Alan Wilson in Berlin also came forward to greet the officers and soldiers participating in the military parade. As for the Foreign Secretary Robert Anthony Eden, he also came to London.

The Foreign Secretary was undoubtedly the most important position in wartime Britain besides the Prime Minister. Although the date of the Potsdam Conference has been fixed, it is only appropriate that the Foreign Minister come to organize it first.

"On June 28, we will talk with the United States and the Soviet Union about the post-war order in Europe." Foreign Secretary Robert Eden revealed the specific date of the meeting.

Anyway, Alan Wilson feels that once the election date approaches, everything now can be related to the election. Who made such a political environment in a parliamentary country?

On the morning of June 17, the first military parade after the restoration of order in Berlin began. The protagonist of the military parade is the British 7th Armored Division with the title of "Desert Rats". On the day of the military parade, a large number of British chariots and tanks roared past the spacious Berlin streets, attracting many Berlin citizens to stop and watch.

The commander-in-chief of the British military parade was Marshal Montgomery, Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union, and American five-star general Eisenhower also attended and observed the parade with Marshal Montgomery.

"Don't General Patton like this kind of occasion very much? It's unexpected that he didn't come." Marshal Zhukov looked at the British military parade and asked Eisenhower.

"Maybe he would prefer to participate in a larger joint military parade." General Eisenhower changed the topic with a smile. "It is surprising that Moscow and Berlin started the military parade at the same time."
