British civil servant

The reason why it is said to be similar is that the impact of the Opium War was actually not great. Any dynasty after 200 years after the founding of the country was basically in a state of embarrassment. The Qing army was defeated for the first time. Just a little confused.

Europe is now in a state of confusion, and it is more appropriate to describe it as being overwhelmed.As the US penetrates Europe more widely, most European countries will get used to it.Even in another 20 years, Britain will almost get used to it.

Around the time of Prime Minister Wilson, Britain had completely given up treatment, because before he came to power, the Conservative Party had passed the Nassau Agreement and handed over Britain's independent nuclear weapons.

"Can you use public opinion to guide an attack on Chaplin?" Alan Wilson still wanted to help his friend McCarthy, so he asked Vivien Leigh, who has a better relationship with the media?

"I don't have much time dealing with the media. Joan Crawford and Bette Davis are most often in contact with the media." Vivien Leigh said softly, "Chaplin is a master of comedy, so it's not good."

"There's nothing wrong with the free world." Alan Wilson stood up and said with justice, "Also, we haven't wronged a good man. His movie is indeed too critical of the class contradictions in the United States. I have a great influence. It is more appropriate to scold the latecomers."

Sometimes, Alan Wilson doesn't want to disturb other people's peaceful life, but repeats the same mistakes under the pressure of reality.

As for the applause for love with Joan Crawford, he reappeared only out of obedience.

"Vivian will be sad if you are like this?" Joan Crawford, whose body was like being fished out of the water, sighed contentedly, "Young people just have drive, which is really gratifying."

Joan Crawford was very satisfied with the applause for love this time, but said a little awkwardly, "Chaplin is a master of comedy after all. Although I am familiar with many media, I still dare not offend him."

"Honey, the environment has changed. Chaplin is a thorn in the side of many people. His film was boycotted last time, you probably don't know. Then I'll tell you, United Artists relies on Supporting Chaplin, David Griffith and others were independent in the silent film era, but now they are no longer able." Alan Wilson pointedly said, "But United Artists is still one of the eight major film companies. If it can be handed over to trustworthy people, such as Vivienne and you, it can still play a role."

After the release of "Mr. Verne", the theaters showing Chaplin's films were blocked, and no one in Hollywood dared to have any contact with Chaplin and his family.Chaplin published an article entitled "I declare war on Hollywood" in a Paris newspaper, complaining to the world about the persecution he suffered.

However, in Alan Wilson's view, it was not enough for Hollywood to sever contact with Chaplin, and it could go further. It would be even better if Chaplin could be forced out of the United States.

"You want United Artists?" Joan Crawford covered her mouth and exclaimed in disguise, "That's a company established by a group of film masters, and it's the only relatively independent company."

"It will be an independent company in the future. As for film masters, there are generations of film masters. Those few film masters are already old. You are the film masters in my eyes." Alan Wilson grabbed Joan Crawford's plump body, It caused bursts of coquettish anger, "Didn't I say that, if you want to appear on the screen for as long as possible, the best way is to invest in yourself."

Joan Crawford agreed, and at the thought of such a future, she couldn't help feeling excited and wanting to applaud love.

"But what to do?" Joan Crawford rolled over and sat down slowly.

"Oh, I want to create an opportunity for Chaplin to leave the United States temporarily. The rest will naturally be helped." Alan Wilson sighed, feeling the pure friendship of Joan Crawford.

In fact, this matter is not complicated. France is the film center of Europe. The Woodpecker Film Company established by Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Rama also received strong support from Paris and even the French government.

At this time, Ingrid Bergman only needs to take care of it and invite Chaplin to Paris in the name of the Paris city government.

He felt that Chaplin would definitely go. The master of comedy belongs to the master, and the master also has human emotions. Otherwise, Chaplin would not have married many times, and every time he would specifically pick out female stars who are almost underage.

As long as Chaplin leaves the United States, the United States can take advantage of the trend to prevent Chaplin from entering the country, because Chaplin retains British nationality. This is what the United States did in the original time and space, but now it is only two years earlier.

Once Chaplin is unable to enter the United States, the value of his shares in United Artists will be greatly reduced, because United Artists has lived up to the glory of the silent film era, especially under the impact of television, United Artists, which is not well capitalized Film companies have had a tougher time.

This must be thanks to his sincerity to Vivienne's girlfriends. I have to say that the sources of these first-line actresses are still very reliable. Each of them said a little bit, and they analyzed United Artists Films in sevens and eighties.

At present, only Joan Crawford and Vivien Leigh know that Alan Wilson wants to take advantage of this political pursuit to snatch Chaplin's shares in United Artists, not to grab, but to buy.

Moreover, with the help of the future US President Reagan and the current US Senator McCarthy, he achieved his goals reasonably and legally.

"My friend, as I said, there is really nothing we can do about such a well-known master as Chaplin." A month later, Alan Wilson met Reagan and McCarthy again, "This The guy was reporting in Paris to declare war on you."

Let go of the reports about criticizing Chaplin. In fact, these reports are very normal. The dissatisfaction caused by Chaplin to some Americans has already begun to emerge when filming the great dictator.

American right-wing conservatives at the time.In their view, Chaplin's speech was the propaganda of the Soviet Union - "This is not talking about Germany, this is talking about the United States!"

People with similar thoughts from all over the world can understand each other. Alan Wilson is not trying to excuse anyone, just like many Chinese people appreciate knowing the king.

On the other hand, understanding Wang Xiuqiang, opposing political correctness, and wanting to stop the endless white-left issues is indeed understandable. Even the enemy feels that a group of hypocrites in the United States finally came out with a person who can speak normally.

So it is logical that Chaplin's great dictator talked about Germany, but made American conservatives very angry.

"Is there a way to make him disappear?" Reagan said in a very embarrassed way, shaking his glass.

Alan Wilson looked shocked at Reagan, "Mr. Ronald, you don't want to kill him, do you?"

"Of course not!" Reagan hurriedly waved his hands, "Mr. Allen, you misunderstood me. I want him to leave the United States."

"That's not impossible!" The long-term foreshadowing finally paid off, and Alan Wilson said happily, "A certain European country can invite Mr. Chaplin to visit. Speaking of which, I remembered, Vivienne's good friend, Ms. Ingrid, established a film company in France, and Paris attaches great importance to it. If you think of a way from this aspect, you can let him leave the United States temporarily, but he will come back after all."

"Can he come back? It's just something that can be done with an order from the Ministry of Justice." McCarthy is a judge, and he can easily find the entry point. "As long as you can help, Alan, let Chaplin leave the United States, I will Immediately, he will never be allowed to enter the United States again."

"This?" Alan Wilson also showed a face of embarrassment when the matter came to an end, "Chaplin is British, and I have to take a certain risk on this matter, Joseph, which makes me very embarrassed."

"Alan, my friend. This is all for the order of the free world." McCarthy said solemnly, "This is not a question of Britain or the United States, it is a question of the entire free world."

"Okay, let me talk to Vivian." In desperation, Allen Wilson could only let go of his admiration for the master of comedy, and abandon his selfishness to operate this matter for a greater ideal, "Joseph, this favor But you have to pay it back."

"Of course, we are friends." McCarthy patted his chest, and raised his glass with the other hand, bang!The sound is clear and crisp.

Chapter 5 and Three: The Invitation to Cannes

"It's a friend of the alcohol test!" Alan Wilson also drank happily. "I can't describe Joseph's current state in words. I can only say that I wish you more opportunities to benefit society."

"Of course, I have made full preparations for this." McCarthy had a big appetite. At present, he is already a figure in the Republican Party, and he can even be said to be the most prominent person. Whether it is Taft or Dewey, they all look at him differently, and It was completely different a year ago.

When he was in high spirits, McCarthy was of course willing to share it with his friends. It must be admitted that McCarthy got a lot of useful advice from Alan Wilson.

In this regard, Alan Wilson said that gold always shines, and the current situation requires both parties to work together to maintain world peace and not be threatened by evil forces headed by the Soviet Union.

Reagan quietly accompanied the last seat, looking at the two rude men who love alcohol, talking about the special relationship between Britain and the United States, I couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor...

Reagan may have forgotten that Alan Wilson is much younger than him, and bullying the young and poor is not valid here.

Dusk is approaching, and the faint twilight shrouds Yugu Avenue.In the summer, California nights are mind-blowing.

Vivien Leigh dragged her inconvenient body and tiptoedly wiped the face of the hangover man. She didn't really understand the man's pursuit. In fact, the two hobbies were very different. She was only interested in Alan Wilson. The international situation in the mouth of the man is full of interest, but it is just pretending.

Caressing his abdomen with one hand, feeling that the man's face seemed to stretch a little, Da Yingbao couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you have to get yourself drunk?"

"Because it will give McCarthy a sense of accomplishment! Do you think it's easy?" Alan Wilson's eyes suddenly opened, and he was very proud of the little tricks he experienced in taking care of women, "Honey, the way you wiped your face just now, You can't keep a man from falling in love."

"You scared me!" Allen Wilson spoke suddenly, startling Vivien Leigh, and then smiled wryly while clutching his abdomen, "If you scare my child, I'll never end with you."

"That's my child too!" Alan Wilson posted an apologetic face on the woman's swollen belly, "With McCarthy's help, I think United Artists will fall into your hands within a year at the most. In terms of material things, I feel a little relieved."

"Actually, it's not that I don't like money, but I'm satisfied now. It's good to see you often." Feeling the life in her belly, Vivien Leigh had a motherly brilliance on her face, "I know you are worried, that's why I'm very concerned about material things." Value, in fact, I don't want too much, compared with you, material things are not important."

"Don't make excuses for me, Vivian, sometimes men value money not because of the money itself, but because money is the measure of value in this world, and what I want to grasp is this sense of security. There was no trace of drunkenness in Alan Wilson's eyes, "For this goal, I will do whatever I want, and I don't care about the fate of others."

At present, McCarthy and Reagan just hope that Chaplin will leave the United States and never come back, and they are satisfied, which can be regarded as an explanation to the conservative groups in the United States.

But Alan Wilson thinks this is not enough, the two Americans just want to let Chaplin go, his attitude towards this great compatriot is simple, he wants to let Chaplin die .

Of course, this must happen after the shares of United Artists Film Company are acquired. As for the safer method, of course, it is the best way to portray the accidental death on the surface, but it is suspicious when you look closely.

Candidates are readily available, and North Rhodesia has plenty of suitable candidates for the job.If it was Alan Wilson in the past, he would not wait a day, even if the action was a year later, he would still find an opportunity to go to North Rhodesia to make preliminary preparations.

However, McCarthy uttered the truth after drinking, which made Alan Wilson grow a mind. Being in the United States has advantages and disadvantages, and the comparison of advantages and disadvantages is not one aspect.

What kind of relationship between men and women he messed up, even if the US intelligence agency found out, he would not take it seriously.Because he is not a stakeholder.

But if you kill a public figure with a high social status, you will be able to hide it from the public in the end.He will also become a person of concern of the FBI, so he can't arrange this matter right away, he must find a suitable time.

Don't contact Northern Rhodesia for now, but you can contact old friends, such as McLean who works in the South African embassy.

After all, the Five Elites of Cambridge are talents with all the conditions from birth to excellent knowledge. Although they were asked by Alan Wilson from the cabinet secretary before, one was brought to Ceylon and the other to Burma, turning two good internationalist fighters into colonial officials.

But gold always shines, and the two returned to their familiar jobs. One went to Australia and the other to South Africa. Macklin worked in the South African embassy.

In fact, South Africa has long been in a state of de facto independence, and Maclean's work is actually very simple, which is ordinary diplomatic work.But because South Africa's strength is outstanding in Africa, it can also be regarded as the focus of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' work in Africa.

This is because Alan Wilson made a mistake in his judgment. In McLean's call back, he stated that the South African government has just implemented a system in the past few days, which is to separate whites and blacks for rule.

"Learn the apartheid system in the United States!" Alan Wilson understood at a glance that the ruling party in South Africa has promulgated the apartheid system that will be set on fire by the whole world in the next few decades.

In fact, South Africa has started the relevant system since last year, but the most iconic system of the apartheid system must be interracial marriage and love. The official promulgation mentioned in the Macleans telegram refers to this point.

"South Africa will definitely be criticized by the whole world because of this system. If the British colonies are still there, South Africa may still have a certain protective effect. Once the colonies of European countries become independent one after another, South Africa will only become more and more powerful in Africa. Isolation." Alan Wilson sent a telegram asking, "I don't know, I don't know how the situation in Northern Rhodesia is? What do the local white immigrants think?"

"I don't know much yet. If Allen wants to know, I will contact the local commissioner." McLean replied in the telegram, "As you said, South Africa has almost no right to choose. In order to maintain the descendants of European immigrants rule, they have only one choice."

"There is another one, partition. It just depends on whether the people in power in South Africa can give up. What I mean by partition is not to use a small piece of land to fool the international community, but to give up at least half of the land. Let me give an explanation to the international community. In fact, even if this is the case, European immigrants are still taking advantage. Whites only have one-fifth of the population of South Africa, and the more backward the ethnic group is, the higher the fertility is. "

Through telegrams, two people, one in Los Angeles and the other in Johannesburg, discussed the apartheid system in South Africa. In fact, partition is no longer a novelty. The Indian Islands adopted a partition method.

If the ruling party in South Africa really has the courage of a strong man to sever his wrists, then don't deal with those pocket countries that no one can fool.It may seem like a huge loss to directly demarcate half of the territory to make it independent, but it is still an advantage.

Alan Wilson knew that McLean was one of the five elites of Cambridge, but it was not impossible to discuss the issue of South Africa. After all, it was impossible for the two ethnic groups to live in harmony. Talking about the method of partition was also to solve the problem.

Of course, Allen Wilson still expressed in the telegram that he had something to ask for, and hoped that McLean would inform the colonial government of Northern Rhodesia and ask Mikhailovich to send someone to the United States to contact him.

Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamarr in Paris are running Woodpecker Pictures with unprecedented vigor.For the two who have traveled across the ocean, they heard that France will hold an international film festival this year, and both of them have prepared grand dresses, ready to appear on the red carpet of the Cannes International Film Festival.

Just at this moment, a man's telegram for her husband's status arrived, and the two woodpecker film signboards looked at the contents of the telegram face to face.

"What does Allen mean?" Heidi Rama asked with her head tilted.

"She wants us to be in Paris, and hopes that this film festival will send an invitation letter to Chaplin." Ingrid Bergman sighed softly, "But it's not a bad thing, the environment here in France is more relaxed than in North America too much."

Both of them actually knew that the accusations Chaplin faced in the United States were very clear, and the attacks on Chaplin had been going on for two years.

"However, inviting Chaplin is a great encouragement to this film festival, and the French have no reason not to agree." Heidi Rama turned to talk about the benefits, and Ingrid Bergman also agreed with this point , nodding frequently.

The two walked out of the headquarters of Woodpecker Films hand in hand, ready to communicate with the organizer of this film festival.In fact, the two are also planning to invite a group of friends in the United States to France to participate in this event.

After all, there are not many such opportunities. Although the Cannes International Film Festival was re-hosted after the war, it was suspended last year due to France's financial problems, and it was difficult to start preparations this year.

After communicating with the Paris Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Ministry of Education, and the Film Federation, several departments that also want to expand the influence of the Cannes International Film Festival jointly issued an invitation to Chaplin, and invited some friends of the two , Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Pauline Goddard are also among them.

Soon, the invitation letters sent from France arrived in the hands of the invitees one after another. Why did Alan Wilson know about this, because Vivien Leigh also received the invitation letter, but the current state of Great Britain Treasure obviously cannot be carried out .

"I think if you appear on the red carpet in Cannes, it will be even more sensational than the film festival." Holding Vivien Leigh's invitation letter, Allen Wilson teased, looking at the bulging belly of Great Britain's treasure.

Chapter 5 and Four The Northern Rhodesian Guest

The news that Chaplin was deported shortly after leaving the United States on a cruise ship is the biggest news recently.The decisive decision of the US Department of Justice caught everyone by surprise.

Chaplin also learned on the cruise ship that he had been deported by the US Department of Justice and could no longer set foot on American bandits.

This time, he was invited to participate in the Xana International Film Festival, but it became a good opportunity for the US Department of Justice to do it.

During the silent film period, Chaplin's films were not strongly political, but since "Modern Times", Chaplin has continuously shown his own ideas in the films. The exploitation of class should not be shown to the fullest, and the boss of United Artists is Chaplin, and no one can control him.

Chaplin experienced this expulsion three years earlier than in history. The only thing worthy of Alan Wilson's consideration is that, unlike in history, the British Labor Party is currently in power and may take in Chaplin.In the original history, when Chaplin was expelled, the British Conservative Party had already returned to power, and the attitude towards Chaplin was the same as that of the United States.

Catherine Hepburn, who worked tirelessly, accompanied Vivien Leigh. Seeing Vivien Leigh's current appearance, she couldn't help feeling distressed, "Vivienne, Ellen, you need company most now, why doesn't he accompany you?"

"Catherine, he's a diplomat. He has his own job!" Vivien Leigh was very touched by her friend's concern, and said empathetically, "He said he would come back after finishing his work."

"You just know how to speak for him." Katharine Hepburn hesitated to speak, really wanting to say that the man once took out a photo and asked herself to take care of a young and beautiful girl, but seeing Vivien Leigh touching her stomach with happiness, she It was also difficult to speak, and he had nothing to say, "It's really surprising that Chaplin was expelled."

Chaplin became famous all over the world 30 years ago, and he became the most famous person in the world in [-]. As soon as such a character left the American soil, he was ordered by the Department of Justice to be banned from entry.

Due to political reasons, many filmmakers dare not associate with Chaplin, but they just dare not speak out.

"Uh, Catherine, we don't have the ability to handle this matter." Vivien Leigh evaded a little. She knew in her heart that no one else knew that the man behind the expulsion of Chaplin was also her man.

Vivien Leigh knew about Alan Wilson and was still trying to get United Artists into his hands. Now that Katharine Hepburn's sense of justice broke out, she instinctively wanted to avoid this topic.

"That's right, in your current state, it's best not to think about such troublesome things." Katharine Hepburn turned to smile, "Actually, it would have been better if Chaplin hadn't left so early. I also received Shaner's invitation."

The current Xana International Film Festival does not have an exact opening time, and France has just recovered from the war, so it was not held last year.

"Actually, I have it too, but I can't go now." Vivien Leigh really became more energetic. "Heidi and Ingrid helped the French invite a lot of people this time. In fact, it's good to go. The United States The market around here is not very good either, maybe you can seize a good opportunity in another place, even if it’s just to go out and relax.”

"You need to take good care of your baby after giving birth. Image is still very important." Katharine Hepburn joked.

At the same time, on the coastline of Los Angeles, Alan Wilson walked side by side with a man of similar age. His suit was incompatible with the cool dress by the sea.

"Grace, compared to the people in Nuremberg, those of you who escaped are still very lucky." Alan Wilson stopped and lit a cigarette, and at the same time handed him one and continued, "Is that so? .”

With few exceptions, German supporters in Europe were liquidated, even Germany.

After surrendering to the U.S. Army, German soldiers on the Western Front were held in a prisoner-of-war camp near the Rhine, one of 400 U.S. military prisons guarding [-] million defeated Germans.Rain or shine, they are housed outdoors and given half their daily ration plus a glass of water.Countless of Willie's companions who had escaped the heat of North Africa and the cold of Russia had died in the camps.Americans called Germans war criminals.

"Thank you Mr. Allen for your help. My father always mentioned you. We Serbs are not ungrateful people, so after getting a reply from South Africa, my father asked me to come to the United States to visit Mr. Allen."

Grace Mikhailovich, whose father was the leader of Chetnik, according to his father's wishes, Grace left Northern Rhodesia and came to the United States. In terms of time, it can be said that he traveled night and day.

"Let's just deceive other people with this kind of nonsense. What you did in Northern Rhodesia is indeed a high degree of secrecy. As expected, you often do this in the Balkans. But as the person who sent the telegram at that time, how could you hide it?" It's better than me." Alan Wilson smiled, stopped and waited for a while before saying in disappointment, "Do you have anything to say?"

Grace shook his head, "The exposure of this matter is not good for both of us, Mr. Allen, we will be accused by the whole world, and you can't get rid of the suspicion. So it's better for us to pretend that we don't know."

"That's what I said. If I can reach the position of helping to cover up, one day I will erase all traces." Alan Wilson nodded to himself, "Of course I need the support of some people, you understand my Meaning."

"Northern Rhodesia naturally welcomes Mr. Allen, who can play a greater role in the British Empire."

It wasn't until this time that Grace heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed all over and said, "The chaos that was absolutely unexpected and no one wanted to happen will become the basis for us to help each other."

"Essentially, I don't care how many people die in a colony, but as long as this happens, I'm afraid that one day it will be used by others. Of course we don't want such a day. But it's not too much to be careful." Alan Wilson told Bei Luo The question of the Desia riots stopped there, and another question was asked, "What do you think of apartheid in South Africa? Didn't want to emulate it?"

"That set of forward-looking and backward-looking system is just a way to do nothing." Grace sneered unabashedly, "I want to enslave blacks, but also want to be reasonable and legal, and I dare not clean them up directly. How do I evaluate it? I don't care. Evaluation. Can it be suppressed for a while, can it be suppressed forever?"
