Chapter 72 Submarine Production Line
"Mr. Alan, in fact, Maharaja misses you very much, and is eagerly looking forward to your return to South Asia." Alim lowered his head slightly, not knowing whether he was talented or professionally trained, and his gestures were full of humility.
As the housekeeper who helped Ali Khan handle the British property in London, Alim can be called conscientious. I also know that the British still look down on these people from the colonies, but he didn't feel this in Alan Wilson.
"South Asia, that's really a good place." Allen Wilson was full of longing. What understanding of the problem is purely from the angle of view. If you come from a rich Brahmin, there is nothing better than India in the sky and on the earth. Believe it or not, it is the truth.
Not to mention that Alan Wilson was an official above the middle level in British India. The longing on his face flickered, and Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "I don't know what your religious belief is?"
"Same as the majesty!" Alim stood straight on the signboard, with a serious expression obviously proud of it.
"That's good, there is preliminary credibility." During the speech, Alan Wilson had already smoked a cigarette and said, "It's not necessarily true that the majesty trusts me, I am British after all. The trust is limited to that and I am already very grateful. You have seen the situation in the British occupied area now. It is almost a ruin. But Germany was a world power before the war, and the heritage is still very rich. Some things are exactly what Hyderabad needs. Listen to me, Maharaja Ali Khan will definitely not suffer."
Alan Wilson's moral standards are not high, but he also knows the saying of spending money to do things. Since he has received Ali Khan's benefits, he will do his best to do things.
Alim nodded frequently, and heard Alan Wilson say, first of all, the monarch of Hyderabad donated food to Europe in trouble, which is a big deal. This matter must not be hidden, and the major newspapers must be notified. Alan Wilson is now in Europe, and he can only count on Alim to do more activities.
As the monarch of the largest state in British India, Ali Khan has a high status in the eyes of the London nobility and the government. As long as Arim puts a little effort into managing it, many people will definitely know about it.
And the food in hand can be exchanged for some weapons, and Alan Wilson wants to exchange for Germany. At the end of the war, both Britain and Germany had accumulated a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Germany expected that there would be no army in the short term. These weapons and ammunition could be exchanged for food in British India.
Why switch to German weapons? Good question. Although British and German weapons are piled up like a mountain, German weapons are still more scrapped. It is better to ship them to South Asia than to destroy them, but the shipping costs must be paid by buyers in South Asia.
Another consideration is that Germany's military industry will definitely be destroyed. These weapons have no follow-up, and they will be gone when they are used up. Even Germany will not have a military industry in a short period of time, so it will naturally not help India's military industry.
Therefore, German-style weapons can be summarized as disposable weapons, which do not match the British-style weapons production line in British India. This is a one-shot deal, and there is no need to worry about the consequences of becoming an enemy.
British India may become independent in the future, but from the perspective of the British Empire, it absolutely does not want this original colony to become stronger. India of later generations is very worthy of the expectations of the suzerain country, and it is true that the mud has been unable to support the wall.
As for other things, Alan Wilson didn't say much to a housekeeper.
For example, in the short term, Germany must be in a depression. Under such circumstances, if the unemployment rate is tabulated, it will definitely be very ugly. What is there in Germany now? Anyway, in the British-occupied area, there are only two million German soldiers who have laid down their weapons, and the rest are dilapidated military enterprises.
If Ali Khan has this heart, he will take the initiative to hire a group of small German officers to train the army in Hyderabad. Alan Wilson, who is still receiving Ali Khan's salary,
Definitely willing to play a good role in it.
"Now in the British-occupied area, you can hand over the grain to the British Army Command, and then the grain can be exchanged for something of value." Alan Wilson raised his wrist and looked at his watch with a helpless expression on his face. Said, "To be honest, I've been very busy recently, and I have to go back soon after I leave Berlin."
"This can prove that London attaches great importance to Mr. Allen." Arim immediately flattered, "Berlin is now the place where the major powers pay the most attention. Being able to handle Berlin's affairs shows that Mr. Allen's future is bright. of."
Rather, it is to give General Mountbatten face and let me get a chance to increase my resume. Of course, Alan Wilson didn't say it, but nodded reservedly, as if it really happened.
He took Arim to the British Army Headquarters, explaining that the cargo ship that had just entered the port was a donation from Ali Khan, which confused the staff of the British Army Headquarters, and Alan Wilson explained who Ali Khan was.
The identity of the monarch of Hyderabad is well known to the aristocracy and foreign departments in London. But it was very unfamiliar to the British occupying forces. Under the prompt of Alan Wilson, the British Army Command clarified the information and became polite to Arim.
"Colonel Greer, we have cleaned up the Bloomforth Shipyard and found something very important on its slipway production line." Allen Wilson was still greeting Colonel Greer, and a combat staff officer came in and took a look at the two uninvited guests. , Caihui reported, "Should the investigation be carried out immediately?"
"Let the agents of the intelligence department go together." Colonel Greer said so, Alan Wilson directly took out a certificate, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I am actually an agent of MI6. If the headquarters If your agent doesn't have time, I can help."
"Mr. Allen, I didn't expect you to be too..." Colonel Greer swallowed back the unspoken half of the words with a strange expression, and said in a complicated tone, "It's really hard for you."
"They are all serving the British Empire. There is no distinction between high and low occupations." Alan Wilson put away his documents calmly, and he could guess a little bit of Colonel Greer's thoughts by looking at the other party's face.
Military and police special agents, agents are the most dreadful professions, and a young diplomat who is joking and joking says that he is an agent, which is indeed unacceptable.
Regardless of what Colonel Grayer thought, Alan Wilson followed the staff to the Bloomforth Shipyard. Arriving at the shipyard and walking through the cleared channel, the berth is densely packed with the latest submarines of the German Navy, and the surrounding cranes that have stopped working are everywhere, like a forest of steel.
"Modular construction?" Alan Wilson saw the subsections of the submarine, and thought that the Germans were not as rigid as imagined.
