British Civil Servant

Alan Wilson wondered what the Berliners were thinking when the familiar Union Jack fluttered over Berlin. Anyway, he knew that there was not much time left for the British to pretend.

The former British Occupied Areas Board of Trade, now the Commission of Representatives under the Commissioner in Germany, provided a calculation of the current capacity of the British Air Force, not taking into account the civil aircraft enlisted, as well as the air power from the Commonwealth countries. The current RAF has a capacity of one thousand tons a day.

In the next two days, plus the capacity of commercial passenger aircraft, it will reach 2,110 tons per day, but this is still only less than half of the theoretical demand of Berlin's 2.5 million citizens.

"In this way, it seems that there is not a big problem. It is impossible for Berlin to have no accumulation at all. It should not be a problem to use the accumulated materials at first. After a few days, the Americans will join the air transport. The transport planes transferred from the Far East and the United States. Once it is in place, it will be able to fill the material gap.”

The Commissioner to Germany, Gerald Edward, is very familiar with Alan Wilson. After all, he is his predecessor. Although the current British Malaya style is not very good, the Malays think that Gerald deliberately diluted the Malays. Aboriginal status.

But it is expected that Gerard Edwards doesn't care either. He is now the commissioner in Germany. If he hadn't encountered the Berlin crisis this time, he thinks that Europe is more suitable for him.

"Berlin's supplies can only last for a week, and it's already September. Alan, don't you think about the heating issue in Berlin?" Gerard Edwards extended a question, which made Alan Wilson speechless.

The historical Berlin crisis started in May, and the air bridges of the British and American Air Forces only considered commodity circulation at that time. It was already half a year after the weather turned cooler, and after a summer of preparations, Britain and the United States have doubled the capacity of the air corridor from several times.

"This is really a problem." Alan Wilson frowned. If you consider the heating problem, this is really not a simple event that is easy to deal with in the past. "I hope this winter will come later this year."

On the first day of the UK's opening of the airlift, the U.S. Army Command in Germany is also discussing the current air force capacity of the U.S. military in Germany.

The commander of U.S. forces in Germany is Curtis LeMay, the main executor of the Tokyo BBQ party. The decision to airlift, which Curtis LeMay very much supports, concentrates the current 100 US transport aircraft in Germany, after necessary overhauls. It will be added to the airlift on the third day when the RAF opens airlifts.

At the same time, still saying that the existing airport is not enough, Curtis LeMay said to the commanders of the US military command in Germany, "Guys, we should make a decision quickly, no one knows how long the British can last. time."

At this time, Washington, which was arguing because of the Soviet blockade of Berlin, received feedback from the U.S. military stationed in Germany after the United Kingdom first opened the airlift. Truman decided to join the airlift. And said that the US military stationed in Germany should take action as soon as possible, as for the part with insufficient capacity, the air power of the mainland and the Far East will join in.

Gerald Edward, who received a telegram from London, told Alan Wilson the news, but Alan Wilson was very dissatisfied with one sentence, "Truman proposes that B29 bombers be deployed in England to contain the Soviet Union."

"It's all this time, why bother with this kind of thing." Allen Wilson was angry, and cursed through gritted teeth, "If I really want to do this, I have to wonder, who is the biggest in the United States or the Soviet Union? threat."

In the historical Berlin crisis of 1948, the United States did send sixty bombers into Britain with nuclear bombs. But when is that? The Soviet Union had no nuclear bombs at that time.

And now the Berlin crisis came in 1951, and the Soviet Union already had nuclear weapons. Considering that the Korean War had broken out and MacArthur's indiscreet attitude towards nuclear weapons, Britain now has a ghost for the United States to put nuclear weapons in the United Kingdom.

Besides, the UK's nuclear weapons have also been manufactured in advance. At this time, can't the UK use its own nuclear weapons to contain the Soviet Union? What must be done to give Britain a higher level of value in terms of Soviet nuclear strike targets?

"The Prime Minister has rejected Washington's proposal," Gerald Edwards said, as if you were right. "I think the Americans might as well change the bomber and maybe increase the capacity of the air corridor."

"Anyway, the Americans don't want to fool around this time." Alan Wilson said this, revealing a message to Gerald Edward that McCarthy may have an important speech tomorrow.

To put it simply, McCarthy will be a Berliner tomorrow. When Gerard Edward heard this, he frowned and asked, "Tell me the truth? Even in Germany, McCarthy's reputation is not good."

"Gerald, this is a good thing." Alan Wilson wants this kind of badness, and Europeans may think it is bad. But Americans are not the same as Europeans, and McCarthy's move helps cement his position in the hearts of at least some Americans.

As for the European public opinion in just a few days of the Berlin crisis, it can be divided into two parts, European public opinion and British public opinion. Of course, the British local public opinion is mostly positive, focusing on the report of Prime Minister Attlee facing the difficulties. Britain has a responsibility to protect the free world.

It can be said that even in history, before the outbreak of the Suez Canal War, British citizens felt so good about themselves. Although some high-level government officials have realized that the United Kingdom and the United States and the Soviet Union are not players of the same level. But the civic class has yet to realize this.

In the eyes of British citizens, even if British India is lost, Britain still has nearly 10 million square kilometers of colonies. There are hundreds of millions of people overseas under British rule.

Precisely speaking, British citizens really realized that Britain was not the British Empire of the past, when Macmillan was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom after Aiden had to resign because of the Suez Canal War. The United Kingdom and the United States signed the Nassau Agreement, and the United Kingdom was no longer struggling to surrender to the United States.

After six years of recuperation and recuperation, Prime Minister Attlee, who has always paid attention to the country, bravely stood up this time to support justice. To support traditional Labour supporters, Conservative supporters also have a lot of praise.

Even after the Kremlin caused a shock, especially after the RAF opened the air corridor. It made the bigwigs of the Kremlin very stunned. After all, the honest people started to fight back at once, which is always surprising.

A large number of British planes transported supplies to Berlin by air, and naturally they could not escape the eyes of the Soviet troops on the ground.

The air corridor opened by the UK this time has also aroused discussions in the Kremlin, which is nothing more than blocking or letting go.

"Then let's see if more than two million people need it, can the British and Americans afford it?"

The end result is laissez-faire, and Moscow does not believe that the United Kingdom and the United States can afford to feed more than two million people through the air corridor. Britain and the United States will definitely back down. This is the result of discussions in the Kremlin.

In fact, many European countries do not believe that the air transport of supplies in the air corridor mode can meet the needs of more than two million Berlin citizens, except for the United Kingdom, which has been subject to news control.

Pessimistic remarks exist on the European continent. After all, the current confrontation is occupied by the Soviet Union. The British, American and French troops in the alliance Germany cannot cross the border to open up land passages, right? Not to mention that the war in the Far East still has hundreds of thousands of American soldiers trapped in it.

Most European countries, however, praised Britain's first response to the Berlin blockade. It is believed that the British leadership led by Prime Minister Attlee, at a critical moment, gave great confidence to the participating countries of the Brussels Treaty Organization.

It was very late in the day that Alan Wilson sneaked into the Hellman family's villa and entered through the key left by the dragoon sisters.

"It's so late!" Anna's voice sounded in the dark room, obviously she hadn't slept.

"You have to go back before dawn, darling, do you think it's easy?" Alan Wilson was full of the bitterness of walking forward, **** as he spoke, and quickly got into Anna's quilt, a smooth and elastic body body into the arms.

"It's like you're busier than Attlee." After a long kiss, Anna breathed out and cared, "What does the Berlin crisis have to do with you? You have to come over to join in the fun."

"I didn't use it originally, but I can visit your sisters if I come here." Alan Wilson said confidently, "Remember to go to the downtown square tomorrow. A friend of mine is going to give a speech."

"We'll talk about tomorrow's business tomorrow! Don't think about it for nothing." Anna didn't want to hear about any important state affairs. She stretched out her hands and pressed the man's head into the quilt. It's been a long time~www.wuxiaspot.com~Bonn In the central square, U.S. Senator McCarthy, who happened to be in Europe because of his personal affairs, delivered what may be the most important speech in his life to the citizens of Bonn, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Alan Wilson, who caught the knife, was of course there, but he yawned so much that he seemed to be so exhausted by the Berlin crisis that he didn't even sleep well these days. Not far away, Pokina, who had short blond hair and only joined the fierce battle in the middle of the night, glanced at the man with the tongue out of the corner of her eye, and didn't care about the Americans who were about to give an important speech.

Congressman McCarthy started this speech on resolutely fighting back against the Soviet Union in front of all walks of life in the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. First of all, he expressed his appreciation for the British response to this crisis, and emphasized the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

After that, it entered the official stage and fiercely criticized the Soviet Union's actions. In short, the United States, Britain and France set aside the Soviet occupation to establish the Federal Republic of Germany for freedom, and the Soviet occupation to block Berlin was to split Germany. The root cause of the division of Germany was the Soviet Union, not the United States, Britain and France.

"Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was that I was a Roman citizen. Today, the proudest boast of the free world is that I am a Berliner." McCarthy raised his hands high, and he had completely entered a state of selflessness that belongs only to politicians.
