British civil servant

Everything is developing in a good direction. The initiator of the Bandung Conference was Nehru, and the stage was set by Nehru.

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence was also jointly proposed by Nehru. Together with Tito and Nasser, it is worthy of the leader of the Non-Aligned and the leader of the third world. It is definitely a powerful power in terms of momentum.

But now, with Alan Wilson here, Nehru is destined to work harder to deal with the situation facing him.As far as the external environment is concerned, Nasser has not yet shown signs of it, and it would be good if Tito was not beaten.

You must know the issue of the Greek Civil War. The main supporter of the Greek Communist Party is not the Soviet Union. Churchill had already delineated the sphere of influence with Stalin, and the Soviet Union kept its promise on the Greek issue.

The main supporter of Greece is actually Tito of Yugoslavia. Tito is now facing another matter, that is, the opponents who should have been eliminated, and tens of thousands of people have fled abroad.

This is already disturbing. The most disturbing thing is that as long as the United States is teased, the United States may think of these people and use them to attack Tito. Now it seems that even if Yugoslavia is still in conflict with the Soviet Union, it is estimated that at most it will be Like Romania, it’s okay to quarrel with the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact, but it will never leave the Warsaw Pact.

It is similar to France in history, which was a member of the big Western family, but it did not make any less obstacles to the United States in normal times.

Without the solidarity of Nasser and Tito, Nehru probably would not give up independence, so the iron mine has only three or four years of safety time.

As for the internal environment, the delegations of the two parties have returned to British India after a performance in London. The biggest achievement is to make the discord between the Muslim League and the Congress Party superficial.

The most obvious consequence at this stage is that after Patel returned to British India, he was encouraged by his supporters, which meant that he was a bit different from Nehru. Alan Wilson thought this was a good thing, at least it could make Nehru Don't be so alone, exercise your political skills.

Just at this time, Vivien Leigh returned to New Delhi enjoying the praise. The non-stop activities exhausted the British treasure, and they had to go to the west coast in a few days.

The Great Britain Treasure was so tired of doing things for the country, and the loyal civil servants of the empire felt distressed, so they came to give Vivien Leigh a massage, so that Vivienne in her heart could relieve her fatigue.

While enjoying the massage, she heard Alan Wilson talking about the situation in British India. Vivien Leigh heard Patel's name and said, "It seems that this person is not bad. He seems to be appealing to his supporters to learn from me." I understand. He should be an enlightened person."

"He is the conservative leader of the Congress Party. Apart from Gandhi, he should be the second person under Nehru." Alan Wilson introduced while massaging, "His supporters are all Hindu supremacists. .”

"It turns out that's the case. I really can't see it. Shouldn't conservatives hate the colonists?" Vivien Leigh turned and lay on her back.

"It's not such a simple distinction between left and right. There are everyone in the Congress Party. Nehru's supporters emphasize unity and regard the British Empire as an enemy, while Patel's supporters believe that the Mughal Empire is an enemy. No matter what the empire is, it has not suppressed Hinduism."

"From the perspective of India as a country, it is of course good for India that Nehru try to bridge religious conflicts. But from the perspective of Hindus, Patel's supporters are more reasonable. In short, it is very complicated."

Just when Vivien Leigh was exhausted and Alan Wilson had already unbuttoned his belt, the knock on the door of the apartment stunned the two who were about to enter the state.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knocking on the door kept coming, "Vivienne, I'm Ingrid."

"Go to the bathroom and hide for a while." Vivien Li didn't care about Alan Wilson, and pointed to the bathroom to let Alan Wilson go in.

People are in the bathroom, the door has been blocked, waiting online, very urgent!Alan Wilson, who was squatting on the toilet, looked helpless, and the shock was far more than that.

"What's wrong with Vivian? I'm in a hurry, so I'll go in." Ingrid Bergman's voice came clearly from the bathroom door, with clear meaning and facts.

"Ingrid, the bathroom is broken, and I don't know what happened. I obviously haven't lived there for a few days, and the inside is filthy. I'm about to ask Alan to find someone to fix it." Vivien Leigh's voice was a little unsteady, and Ingrid If Bergman goes in, there is no way to hide it.

"Huh..." Allen Wilson sighed up to the sky, controlling his breathing and not daring to make a loud noise.

Vivien Leigh finally succeeded, and did not let the adultery be exposed in front of Ingrid Bergman, and survived the episode without any danger.

After the people left, Alan Wilson came out of the bathroom, and said with fear, "Forget it, I won't come at night."

"No, you have to come." Vivien Leigh held Alan Wilson's hand, "Come over and give me a lecture at night..."

When Vivien Leigh and his party came back, Ellen Wilson's cook became even more busy with work. He originally wanted to serve these actresses, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was too perfunctory, and the food was carefully prepared.

But he really didn't have enough knowledge in this area, and even wanted to send a telegram to Xiangjiang, asking the civil servants there to send a menu.

Heidi Rama, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, and Ingrid Bergman all praised Ellen Wilson's personality. There are too few men who take the initiative to help women cook.

"Actually, I usually eat at the Governor's Mansion, but everyone is a guest after all, and I always have to take care of you." Alan Wilson told the truth that he always ate at the Governor's Mansion, so it is easier to establish a thrifty attitude. image.

"Oh, that's right." Ingrid Bergman looked at Alan Wilson, but couldn't tell, "I thought that European men are so mature now, oh, yes, I still want to go back to Europe to develop Let’s talk about acting career, I don’t know if I have any suggestions.”

"If Europe is taken as a country, the markets of each country will be smaller, unless the market can be unified." Alan Wilson thought for a while, "Take an equal attitude towards films from all countries in Europe and conduct unified screenings, so that the market can be fundamentally solved. Otherwise, the market would be small, and the movie would not be able to get box office, and without box office, the salaries of you actors would not be able to increase."

"You seem to understand movies." Joan Crawford rolled his eyes at Alan Wilson and said, "The American movie market has been the number one in the world for many years. The key is money. Without income, everything is fake."

Vivien Leigh wanted to refute, but Alan Wilson nodded first, "So to unify the European film market, the population of some countries cannot support the film industry, but there are good actors. And like French literature Big countries, such as Italy with a strong historical atmosphere, can provide good scripts and venues, and countries can develop well by learning from each other's strengths."

"This should be something you officials should do. Oh, forget it, you are a colonial official." Ingrid Bergman laughed, "You should not be able to promote this matter."

"The first person to appeal should not be an official, but a group of actors. For ministers, the group of actors is also a vote. In fact, the most suitable person here is Vivienne." Alan Wilson took a deep look Vivien Leigh, "In terms of the wide acclaim it is receiving now, it would be a pity not to use it. Only when the actor group makes an appeal first, I can communicate with my friends in London for the rest of the matter, and let the ministers consider this matter."

"How many friends do you have? Alan!" Greta Garbo glanced around the table, and said some weird words.

"It's okay." Alan Wilson nodded reservedly, not knowing why Greta Garbo spoke in such a tone.

Negotiations with Drake were quite difficult. Although both of them had made clear the bottom line, who would choose to spend more money if they could save money?Is it to make a friend with money?The relationship between Britain and the United States is relatively complicated, which can be summed up by various relationships, but they just cannot be friends.

Even with domestic support, the negotiations between the two still diverged greatly at the beginning. It was almost like Derek offered 5000 million, and Alan Wilson returned 5000 million, but the currency was sterling.

What they have in common is that both Alan Wilson and Derek think that they have done their best, but the other party has not shown the slightest sincerity. They are simply playing hooligans, or an insult to the British Empire and the United States of America.

"Although there are not many high-quality iron ores, they are not only found in the subcontinent."

"But there are not many high-quality markets. Otherwise, you signed some friendly treaty with China, wouldn't you just want to find the British India of the United States." Alan Wilson said earnestly, "By the way, your East Asian allies didn't say anything. Want American aid?"

Will the Commonwealth let the United States go?Not only asking for American aid, but also a win-win situation. Taking American aid to trade stocks in the United States, and playing with the Yankees in the hands of the stock, this is the style of a master of micromanagement.

"I'm a pure businessman, and I don't know much about things between countries." Derek coughed softly, avoiding Alan Wilson's question.

"A real big businessman is inseparable from politics, respected Mr. Derek." Allen Wilson changed the subject, "Look at the situation in British India, isn't it much more stable than your allies? If there is a market, you are afraid of making money No money."

Chapter 293 Earn him [-] million first

At the critical moment, Alan Wilson also had to come up with a bad method, using East Asia, which had already broken out of civil war, to compare it with British India, which was still stable and peaceful on the surface.

Although Chang Zhengzheng is currently at the end of a full-scale offensive, and the beginning of a key offensive is almost at such a stage, but war is war, and once a war starts, it will inevitably become a wealth shredder.

This is in stark contrast to the current situation in British India. The two places, which were originally far apart in any data, are now very obvious.

Now a big country is in a civil war, and Japan has been destroyed by the World War. Looking at the whole of Asia, of course, the jewel of the British Empire stands out from the crowd, and the scenery here is unique.

Seeing Derek pretending to be confused, Alan Wilson had to play the key role and remind Derek of the current reality.

There is no need for Americans to know the cruel reality. For example, poor Truman was played by Mr. Chang in applause.

Our side has a great advantage. With Alan Wilson's poor historical knowledge, we really can't find a few. Ming Yingzong should be one, and Gaolianghe Chariot God should be one.

But the other two can be said to have lost a battle, Mr. Chang?In the more than 1000 battles in the civil war, the Cannon Party seems to have won only more than 20 times, with a winning rate of [-]%, which cannot be washed away.

The negotiations on this point, because of the issue of whether the 5000 million pounds are in pounds or dollars, can be regarded as fruitless.

Declining Derek's kind arrangement, Alan Wilson left, and he had to go back to cook. Pity him, a young man in his early twenties, being played by a group of middle-aged women in their 40s and [-]s.

As time goes by day by day, the trend is still developing for the better, although the speed of this progress is not fast.But that's the way it is. It's not realistic for Derek to agree to an offer of 5000 million pounds without counter-offering once Allen Wilson becomes kingly.

Even in business negotiations, there are many examples of a year and a half, not to mention that both of them think that they have great advantages.As long as the trend is good, it will never bring bad results.

It’s not that Derek didn’t say that he was busy and wanted to go back to China. Alan Wilson ignored this. He already knew from Bette Davis that Derek attached great importance to this acquisition. The basis of authority, so it is very calm.

It's just that he is very calm, and intelligence support is needed. Unavoidable, he always has to discuss with Bette Davis, and the place of discussion includes but is not limited to the bedroom.

This is also a necessary sacrifice for the British Empire. No matter how hard it is, Alan Wilson must withstand it for the advancement of his career.

"Derek is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. From what I know of him, this is blackmail." Bette Davis's big eyes flickered, and the demeanor of the first sister of Warner really lived up to her reputation.

Alan Wilson has an immature idea now. He wants to shoot the [-] series. Vivien Leigh and her girlfriends can be the heroines. Considering the age factor, they should be ranked according to age, otherwise it may be ranked Finally, but an older actress may not be suitable to be a heroine.

If a Bond girl can be born in my own hands, it should be a very fulfilling thing.I just hope that there will be time, the original work seems to have not appeared yet.

Although he traced back to the [-] movies from the back to the front when he was extremely bored, he didn't have a deep impression of the early movies, and only had a general context.

Although the thoughts in his heart went astray, Alan Wilson did not forget to answer Bette Davis's words, "Maximum pressure?"

"It's almost an accurate generalization." Bette Davis nodded after thinking for a while, "He doesn't reject this method."

"Understood." Alan Wilson nodded, and understood the same way as King, if this is the case, he is still sure.

People who do this are generally eager to achieve their goals, and have no other ideas, and everything is to achieve their goals first.

Alan Wilson's guess is actually not wrong. Derek is doing this now. As early as the first meeting between the two parties, Alan Wilson mentioned the acquisition in 3000 and pointed out Derek's offer of [-] million US dollars No sincerity.

Derek also knew very clearly in his heart that if it was lower than the purchase price of 500 million U.S. dollars in [-], unless the entire British Indian people were stupid, it would be impossible.

But after the evaluation results in Pittsburgh came out, he offered a price of 5000 million US dollars, just to test the bottom line of the British with the idea of ​​​​extreme pressure.

The result of the trial was that Alan Wilson offered 5000 million pounds, a figure he absolutely could not accept.

5000 million pounds is [-] million U.S. dollars, which has exceeded the evaluation price given by the board of directors of the U.S. Steel Corporation. This is absolutely unacceptable. If the agreement is finally reached, it will not be a credit to Derek. , It would be nice not to be taken out by other directors.

If Alan Wilson didn't have the guidance of the old fox in London, and there was no foreign aid like Bette Davis, he would definitely be anxious. After all, it was the first big business in his life worth over [-] million yuan. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.

The stability of British India is self-hypnosis. Even if the situation in British India is not as strong as that of East Asia, it is just that the wind is coming, and the stability will be gone forever.

The support that home field advantage can give to Alan Wilson is based on the data. You don’t need to pay attention to what kind of businessman Derek is, and you don’t need to be affected by other factors. Just list the data.

Starting from 5000 million pounds and 5000 million US dollars, the quotations of the two sides are approaching step by step.

During this time, Vivien Leigh had already taken Heidi Rama, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis on a trip to the west coast, which made Alan Wilson, who was already familiar with him, quite disappointed. Now there are only two left in the community. Swedish actress.

Greta Garbo has been in Hollywood in the 20s. After 20 years of acting career, she has announced her retirement from acting. It is very surprising that she can come to British India this time.

Greta Garbo is recognized as the queen of silent films. She can express a thousand words with her eyes without even changing her facial expressions. Therefore, Garbo's acting skills and beauty have caused a sensation in the world.The boss of MGM commented on her: "A face that only happens once in a thousand years"

Roland Barthes praised: "Her face has the rules of elegant love, and the flesh and blood on her face gives people a sense of destruction."

Alan Wilson found that of the remaining two actresses, Greta Garbo was very difficult to approach, and Ingrid Bergman was much more approachable.

"Greta likes to be quiet, and she is ready to never get married for the rest of her life." Ingrid Bergman commented on her Swedish predecessor in front of Alan Wilson, "This time I came to British India, most of us came here to gain fame , but she is different, she really came here to do charity."

"Doesn't get married for the rest of her life, she likes women?" Alan Wilson asked directly. It's not like he hasn't come into contact with such people, such as the Commissioner of British Burma and the Commissioner of British Ceylon.

"I don't dare to ask her about this matter, you have the ability to ask yourself." Ingrid Bergman said in an encouraging tone. What it's like to be a friend's civil servant and hit an iceberg.

"I thought she had a prejudice against me." Alan Wilson thought that he had exposed himself again. It turned out to be Greta Garbo himself. exposed.

"She is like this, very cold and not very communicative." Ingrid Bergman shrugged. .”

When she first arrived in the United States, because of Garbo's tall stature, long hands and long feet, Hollywood portrayed her who was originally timid and shy into a positive, cheerful, lively and lovely female athlete who loves sports.

The results are obviously not very optimistic.Later, she became especially popular because of her own personality, indifferent, withdrawn, and sentimental, showing her truest personal characteristics in front of the camera.

Strictly speaking, Ingrid Bergman is a descendant of Greta Garbo. Both of them are Swedish. Ingrid Bergman who came to the United States is taller and has a lot of work on how to gain a foothold in Hollywood. , ask this senior.So the Greta Garbo thing was pretty clear.

"Oh!" Alan Wilson smiled reluctantly, waiting for guests to come while cooking. Greta Garbo only came over during meals, and usually only brought it with her in her apartment.

Dinner was over this day. In order to see Alan Wilson who was not familiar with him, I still didn't hear a few words from Greta Garbo. The latter walked a few minutes later and said, "You and actresses have a lot in common. Well."

"Ms. Vivien Leigh is a British national treasure, how dare I not take good care of it." Alan Wilson replied with a smile.

"It's not Vivian." Greta Garbo tilted her head and glanced at Alan Wilson with indifference. "There are at least two more, so your methods are surprising."

Because of this sentence, when negotiating with Derek, Alan Wilson was still suspicious, but instead confused Derek, stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of the other party a few times, and repeated, "Mr. Alan, I said One hundred million, one hundred million dollars, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it." Alan Wilson suddenly recovered, saying that he had heard Derek's small goal, and then began to answer, "Dear Mr. Drake, I have to say that our bottom line is very close. But it’s still a little bit worse.”

Chapter 294 The Prime Minister's Concern

"A little worse? Mr. Allen, you have to know that a private company cannot be decided by one person." Derek frowned and said, "Especially a company like US Steel, even if I am a person with the right to speak The executive director can’t influence the opinion of the majority, it’s not a family business.”

"Similarly, I am not the only one who has the final say on British India." Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders, and his tone was quite helpless. It’s okay to come up with a plan that benefits the country, but if you can’t come up with it, I believe Mr. Derek also knows the political complexity.”

"I understand it very well, so you don't need to explain it in official words." Derek, with an old-fashioned tone, stopped Alan Wilson in advance before he started a long speech.

Both of them could feel that they were approaching the target, but it was like a conversation between the two. There are other directors of U.S. Steel who want to see the light of victory, which is not a victory in the final analysis.

The decision was not in British India, but in England and America, Pittsburgh and London, and that was where the decisions were made.

There are also problems. For example, British India seems to be stable now, but once India becomes independent, can it guarantee the stability of iron mines? Alan Wilson has always talked about the status quo from historical origins.

"Essentially, India, as Nehru said, exists in terms of cultural concepts. After all, Hinduism is here. But a country called India has been a long time ago. The history of the Mysore state Having existed longer than the United States, there is no reason why the status quo should change. We will leave an independent India with a loose federation, and Mr Derek's concerns are not entirely improbable, but likely minimal."

Not to mention, British India, especially after Alan Wilson came back, the only thing that has not given up and continues to advance is disarmament.

British India's nearly 270 million troops during World War II have been reduced to 95 under such efforts.

In fact, the disarmament work has not been completed. After all, it is a matter of reducing the financial burden. The local government still needs financial support. Of course, it is worthwhile for the Governor's Office to vigorously promote it. We will wait and see how many troops there are when British India becomes independent.

Among the current 95 troops, the peace believers occupy a proportion that meets the population ratio, while the Sikhs occupy a proportion that does not meet the population ratio.As for the Tubang, several important Tubangs add up to 20 private troops.

Although it cannot be called a perfect balance, after Nehru's independence, he must first spend some time retraining the army to handle affairs.

After all, the iron ore is in a semi-independent state rather than a province directly affected by Nehru, so in general, Alan Wilson hopes that Drake believes that the risk is preventable and controllable.

"Unless Mr. Derek doesn't believe in the political capabilities of the British Empire." Alan Wilson seemed offended, and his face became solemn.

"I don't have to believe it, but when it comes to political ability, I believe not only the United States believes it." Derek has received professional training, no matter how funny he will not laugh, unless he can't help it, hehe...

He believed that not only the United States believed in it, but France, Germany, and even the Soviet Union all believed in the political attainments of the British Empire.Numerous wars in the past have proved this.

Feeling the Manifest Destiny of the United States of America, Derek does not think that there are other countries that can break free from the prison set by the British Empire like the United States. This is impossible.

Although the progress of this day is also not great, the two still bid farewell amicably. Derek still has to experience exotic customs, and Alan Wilson has to go back to cook. He has sacrificed too much for the British Empire.
