British Civil Servant

The prominent feature of the Ruhr Industrial Zone is that it takes heavy industries such as coal mining, iron and steel, chemistry, and machinery manufacturing as its core to form a regional industrial complex with complex sectoral structure, close internal connections and high concentration.

The industry of the Ruhr area is the material basis for Germany to launch two world wars. In addition, the geographical location of the Ruhr area and the convenience of water and land transportation make it the golden triangle with the most developed economy in Europe.

This is also the capital for the re-emergence of the Federal Republic of Germany in the future. Although Germany has lost East Prussia, the land of prosperity in modern times, as long as the Ruhr area is still there, Germany will still be a prominent power in the European continent.

The Ruhr area is worthy of its name as the heart of Germany. Dortmund, Essen, and Duisburg are simply the backbone and heart of the Germans. If you want to live and live well, it depends on how to stimulate the potential of the Ruhr area.

This is where the United Kingdom currently has an advantage over the United States and the Soviet Union. Alan Wilson took Mikhailovich to visit the arms king, in fact, there is no special reason.

If it is selfish, it is to deepen the strong impression of the British Empire in the heart before the other party leaves Europe.

Once in Africa, it is another world, and the impression of Europe is limited to the ups and downs during this period of time. There may be useful benefits to deepening these refugees' strong impressions of the British Empire during this time period.

"Mr. Mikhailovich, I almost forgot, if you can get food in Rhodesia, the London side will definitely be very grateful, so the support for you refugees will be more logical." The prison of the Arms King, Alan Wilson raised his wrist to look at the time and continued, "The mainland side very much wants to end the rationing system as soon as possible, of course, the British-occupied area may be a little later, if you can help London overcome its difficulties as soon as possible , I believe that in the eyes of London, the value of you survivors will be higher."

Alan Wilson remembers Rhodesia as a British colony. Due to the fertile land and suitable climate, a large number of white people moved here, reclaimed farmland and established large agricultural estates.

The rich agricultural products have earned Zimbabwe the reputation of "African bread basket" and "African granary". The seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. Mikhailovich and others went to Rhodesia, just in time for the planting season. .

All that is needed is an organization. Alan Wilson believes that the refugee group, which is itself an armed force, is not lacking in organization, and production is at least much easier than fighting a war.

This didn't even require any aid from Britain or from the British-occupied territories, and Rhodesia was not far from South Africa. South Africa's industry makes some agricultural machinery a breeze, and the current governor of South Africa is Nicholas Jacobs de Witt.

The British Empire still has control over South Africa at this time, and I believe the other party will not refuse such an opportunity.

This has become a bit of a habit. Alan Wilson happily agreed to Rhodesia's bragging about Mikhailovich, and he was relieved that the British had needs.

What worries him most is that if the British really do good deeds without desire, then it means that he is in trouble.

Immediately afterwards, the two went to the Krupp family's factory, where there were already people surveying the undamaged production line.

In the next few days, Alan Wilson and Mikhailovich visited several companies that had been shut down, and at the same time, with the British civil servants who took over these companies, to determine which production lines for people's livelihood could be restarted.

In the end, Alan Wilson took the handwritten letter from the arms king and began to go door to door according to the list, and called together the well-known large enterprises in the Ruhr area, especially the enterprises whose leaders had not yet been imprisoned, in Essenhugel. Villa, the headquarters of the Krupp family, met with representatives of these companies.

Of course, this was only done after getting the approval of London. After the meeting, he had to write a report, make a report on the process of this meeting, and submit it to London for review.

London also knows that the quick recovery of the British-occupied area's economy cannot do without the assistance of these well-known pre-war German companies.

Before coming back, Alan Wilson has been authorized to have a good talk with the heads of these enterprises.

There are even representatives of Rheinmetall who came, even though the production line of the Rheinmetall Arsenal in Düsseldorf has been sealed by the UK.

"The war is over!" Alan Wilson used this opening statement as the first sentence to communicate with representatives of German companies.

The first meaning is literally, the second meaning is that the winner is already very obvious, the United Kingdom is the winner, as for Germany, the defeat is even worse than the First World War, and the whole country has been occupied.

Looking at the subtle expressions of the heads of major companies, Alan Wilson took out the letter from the Arms King and showed it in front of everyone. As for the English translation, he was already familiar with it, and when these people read the letter, he explained, " Mr. Alfred is currently in custody in Düsseldorf, oh yes, Rheinmetall's Düsseldorf production line has also been sealed and stopped production, I am talking too much."

"The current situation in Germany is very bad, and I can say very directly that there will be no central government in Germany in a short time, because the French are very opposed to this. According to the information we got from Paris, the current French state The attitude is very direct, hoping that Germany will return to a loose confederation, such as the Holy Roman Empire."

The faces of representatives of some German companies have become ashen. German history can be divided into two parts, before and after German reunification, and the history before German reunification, as the iron-blooded chancellor Bismarck said, "and very aggressive. It is a tragedy for Germany to have France as a neighbor, and France has invaded Germany countless times over the past 800 years, which has brought profound suffering to Germany.”

As for the history of Germany after the reunification, it was very much in line with the idea of ​​France in 1945. "After the reunification of Germany, it showed a very strong aggressiveness. It has invaded France three times in a hundred years. States should not exist in this world."

As soon as they heard that the French opposed the re-establishment of a central government in Germany, the backbone of Germany was naturally indignant.

Forget the history of Germany's three invasions of France in the past 100 years, only the humiliation of the Germans by the French in the past 800 years is in mind.

History is a bad debt, and it is not fair to every country, just like if there were only 40 million people in British India instead of 400 million people, the British Empire would have changed South Asia in two hundred years. Still need to wait until today's local elites in India become independent?

First used the French to create a wave of hatred, which successfully aroused the resentment of the German dignitaries in front of him, but Alan Wilson changed the subject, "But our British Empire doesn't think so, the European concept that the British Empire has pursued for 900 years. It is nothing more than balance, and only when it is balanced will wars not break out. Of course, some ambitious countries always have a slanderous attitude towards this balanced policy.”

"The British Empire has never contained Germany, and to this day London still believes that Germany is the balance of Europe, and is very opposed to this endless revenge and humiliation, but we are only one of the occupying powers after all, and there are as far away as America, and The Americans who don’t care what the Germans think, the Soviets who have a deep hatred of Germany, the four occupying powers, the British Empire can do very little.”

"We are very grateful for the efforts made by the UK, Commissioner Allen, you can tell us bluntly what you want us to do." After a few chats between representatives of several German companies, Rheinmetall's chief engineer Wagner said, "Do the British want us to obey... help the managers of British institutions to restore production in the British occupied territories?"

"Accurately speaking, the civilian side!" Alan Wilson was very satisfied with Wagner's answer, but did not forget to add this sentence more comprehensively, "The French are now very defensive about any German move to restart their weapons, which is equally Nor is it the purpose of the UK. Our purpose is to reconcile, to avoid another war in Europe in the future, and to avoid the hatred caused by Germany's troubled post-World War I."

As for supporting Germany to withstand the pressure of the Soviets, it goes without saying that the relationship between the two camps in the Cold War is not bad, and it will take some time for them to recuperate.

"Restoring production has become a top priority! How the British-occupied areas can restore prosperity as soon as possible depends on whether the companies represented by you can play an exemplary role."

"Can we find a way to resume production?" the Mercedes-Benz representative confirmed.

"Of course, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but the premise is that the factory that resumes production must have a British representative stationed." Alan Wilson conveyed the instructions on the London telegram, "The production process of the factory must be transparent to the British representative. Including, but not limited to, personnel adjustment, raw material extraction and transportation."

"We need a period of time to discuss." Wagner, chief engineer of Rheinmetall, finally said on behalf of the companies here, "I think this requirement is not excessive."

"It's not too much. I will wait for news at Hugel's Villa these days." Alan Wilson pointed to the Krupp family headquarters under his feet, "I hope what I can receive is good news."

When the representatives left, Alan Wilson quickly took out the telegraph and sent telegrams to Hamburg, Hanover, and London, describing the talks just now, and whether the representatives of the German companies could traverse the Ruhr area.

While waiting for the news, he listened to the radio to relieve his boredom, and listened to the sound of the radio, "Japan officially announced its unconditional surrender..."

"What a pity, what about Bushido? What about spiritual victory?" Alan Wilson yelled, "Why don't you keep fighting."
