British civil servant

However, it was precisely because of the French Revolution that the British aristocracy were reminded that as long as the king exists, everything has a purpose. Once the king really falls, everything will be over.

Today, the direct descendants of this duke and that prince express their admiration for Pamela Mountbatten.It would be impossible to switch to the Kingdom Age, when France was the center of the European continent.

And this time Pamela Mountbatten also came with a purpose, staring at the halo of discovering a huge iron ore, came to Paris, and reached out to the class that is still the most privileged in France. This cannot be described as begging, it can only be said is to help each other.

"Thanks to the good luck bestowed by God, under the glory of His Majesty the King, I accidentally found a very profitable iron mine. Such a result is very touching. I can finally owe Wellington The debts of the Dukes of Richmond, Devonshire, etc. have been paid."

The Versailles girl who went to the country to do as the Romans did, started the journey of selling success studies under the crowd. First, she mentioned how the crisis was and how she broke through because of the pressure to repay the loans from the families of the Dukes and Earls before the iron mine was discovered. .

The conversation turned around and said that the result was good, and the Australian iron mines also had a share of these families who provided help at the beginning.Although these British nobles might feel apprehensive at the beginning, they are now full of joy of harvest, waiting for rewards.

In this regard, the ladies and ladies around naturally said that Pamela Mountbatten was blessed by God, and at the same time, she also had a firm will and indomitable determination, so that she could wait until it came to fruition.

"Whether it is our UK or France, the most valuable place today is the extensive colonies. The colonies have been the source of wealth in Europe for hundreds of years. I believe everyone knows it clearly. This time I came to France, which made me feel like It's like returning to my own home, but in fact there is another project next, and it depends on whether everyone is willing to join me in searching for wealth that has not yet appeared in the world."

"Miss Pamela, your professionalism is very admirable. I don't know what kind of project it is." Immediately, a middle-aged man in his 40s who can still be regarded as the prime of life, answered with a look of interest on my face. .

This is like a signal, and of course they are interested in these French nobles who already have a sense of crisis.Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here, and I was treating a British noble lady with all the stars.

The glory of the French aristocracy is already a distant memory. In fact, since the Bourbon dynasty, the French aristocracy has been far less comfortable than the British, and has gone through the reincarnation of the Kingdom Republic and the Kingdom Republic.Every change in France represents the lowering of the status of the French aristocracy. The current French aristocrats only have the accumulation of their ancestors in their hands, which is almost the same as ordinary people.

In the face of these French people whose faces are full of interest to us, Pamela Mountbatten endured the sense of expectation, but still showed a reserved face and said that this reception is not a good time to talk about serious business. I won't leave Paris immediately, and everyone can find a place to discuss it.

"You annoying little goblin, you can deal with the fire you caused yourself." Alan Wilson hugged Heidi Lamarr's body and did not let go. He must take real action today.

"Why does this sound so stupid?" Heidi Lamarr leaned back, turned her head and whispered into Alan Wilson's ear, "Although it may be harsh, this is my intuitive feeling .”

"That's right!" Alan Wilson muttered again, feeling the embarrassment exploding.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he is not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else. This did not delay him taking the opportunity to have a verbal argument with the talking Heidi Lamarr, dressed roughly, "Borrow your company's headquarters building, and Is it too much to ask representatives of friendly countries to have afternoon tea?"

"How can I say this, this matter is not too much, but the base of my tongue hurts a little, which is very much." Heidi Lama's mouth slightly curled up, expressing her accusation for the sudden attack just now.

"I'm sorry about this!" Alan Wilson picked up the back of Heidi Lamarr's hand and kissed it lightly, then stood upright, "Dare to do it next time!"

As for talking with stakeholders in European countries first, Alan Wilson does not think it is a conspiracy of a small circle. From a global perspective, the technology blockade led by the United States is also a conspiracy of a small circle.There are conspiracies within conspiracies, which is of course quite normal.

However, Alan Wilson is not very familiar with Paris, and it is too blatant to do so in a British institution in Paris.Although this matter itself should be done, it should not be too publicized.

The rest is to choose the location. He can't drag a group of representatives who serve the country to attend the noble reception with Pamela Mountbatten. That kind of place is more crowded, and it's better to be here with Heidi Lama.

While the two were communicating, Ingrid Bergman came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. The Nordic goddess who had just taken a bath was refreshed. After hearing this, she was a little surprised and said, "It's a bit like an information transfer station." , Heidi, do you want to wash it?"

"Okay!" Heidi Rama got up and heard Alan Wilson muttering behind him, "I want to wash up too, and I want to wash together." Turning her head and glaring at this shameless person, Heidi Rama gave Ingrid Bergman caught the man's eyes.

"Then, if you don't object to this matter, Ingrid, I will use this place to communicate with representatives of various countries. In fact, it will benefit you a lot. We should know a basic truth, that is, the fastest way to get rich is to maintain a relationship with the government. There is a good relationship. No matter what system the country is, this is the truth. The help you and Heidi did today will definitely get good feedback in the future."

Ingrid Bergman nodded in agreement, listening to Alan Wilson citing the classics, from the rise of the Boston consortium led by the Adams family to Mellon's appointment as the US Treasury Secretary, which led the Mellon Consolidated Corporation to become a huge fortune.What you said is completely justified!

"I am very motivated to be able to help your career." Alan Wilson told the benefits with his fingers. Almost all countries in Europe that are not currently under the control of the Soviet Union will participate. This is a very good opportunity.

Ingrid Bergman looked at this man, stretched out her arms like a lotus root, grabbed the back of his fate's neck, leaned forward and kissed him. If he hadn't been so lustful, this man would be a very suitable person for a lifetime Candidates?

"Don't bribe me, thank you." Alan Wilson felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth, and said sternly, "I'm completely business-like, and I don't mix personal emotions. The meeting here is just to save costs."

"I'm just doing a favor to my friend, and I don't have any personal feelings." Ingrid Bergman listened to Alan Wilson's confession, her beautiful eyes were full of a shadow of a person.

Regarding the technical blockade, you asked Alan Wilson whether he agreed, and he certainly agreed, because it involves interests and is of great benefit to Europe itself.

The point of difference is that to prevent the United States from mixing in private goods, this is not because it does not believe in its great ally, the United States, but because the United States always does this, and keeping a hand is out of love for the bad guys.

In the 21st century, after the United States always issued some bans, it found an excuse to open the back door for American companies, and then kept a close eye on European companies to prevent European companies from violating the ban, before letting American companies make money.

Although it is only [-], there is no guarantee that the United States will not have this idea. Nizi has already left his teacher, and is no longer the little guy who was played in the palm of his hand before the First World War.

In the conference room of the Woodpecker headquarters, representatives from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands also agreed in principle that they should support the American idea.

Of course, Alan Wilson also agrees. You must know that if you have a technology and the other party does not, you can cut leeks without any scruples.Take film as an example. In the film era, there are only four countries in the world with mature color film technology.The Western world is the United States, Germany, and Japan.The only fish that slipped through the net was in China,

China's is called Lucky, and the technology is actually far behind the first three.But if Lucky sells 70, it is difficult for Kodak to sell [-] in China.In the USSR, this price was sold for a hundred.Then the net welfare loss of the Soviet people at this price is [-] yuan.Suppose the Soviet Union scruples the needs of the people and provides subsidies.The actual result is the loss of overall national welfare,

No matter how legal or fair the transaction process is, it does not bring fairness in the true sense.This is the meaning of technological blockade.

Chapter 513 Block List

If it is said that competition for scientific research investment is based on innovation, even Europe is not afraid of the Soviet Union.Because the level of science and technology in Europe is at the same level as that of the United States and surpasses that of the Soviet Union.

However, if technological exchanges continue, there will be a consequence. The Soviet Union will break through a technology and imitate it. This will not only involve the Soviet Union, but will spread related technologies to the whole world.

Of course, European and American products with the same price are better, but the representatives here also know that there is a premium for European and American products, and the premium is quite high, but the Soviet Union can lower the price.

"Once the technological exchanges continue, the Soviet Union will kill our enterprises. With the current state of scientific progress, it is not easy for the Soviet Union to catch up with our technological advantages, but once they do, they may pull us to the same level as them." level."

Alan Wilson's words aroused the agreement of the representatives of France, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Profits come from monopoly, which can take many forms, such as trusts, concerns, and cartels, no matter what the model is.There are many ways to go against the rule of law and evade. The technology blockade that the United States wants is also in the interests of European countries.

"What we want to avoid is that the Americans simply ask us to block technology and open the back door to the Soviet Union. The world is so complicated, and this possibility exists. It's not that the United States has never done this kind of thing!"

"We agree with Britain!" Clare, the representative of France in charge of negotiating, agreed deeply. "The United States not only supported the Soviet Union, but also supported Germany!"

"Everyone knows this matter clearly, so don't repeat it. After all, we still need the help of the United States." Alan Wilson coughed softly, saying that now is not the time to talk about this matter.

The balance of the United States to the European continent is clear to all countries here today.

The three famous steel bases in the Soviet Union, Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, Kuznetsk Iron and Steel Works, and Zaporozhye Steel Works, were almost all aided by the United States, and some of the equipment came from Germany.

The largest automobile factory in the Soviet Union before the war - the Gorky Automobile Factory was also built with the assistance of the Ford Motor Company of the United States.

Three of the four tractor factories in the Soviet Union before the war were built with the aid of the United States and Germany. Among them, the Stalingrad Tractor Factory was first built in the United States, dismantled and transported to the Soviet Union, and then reassembled by the Americans and Germans.

So the United States definitely has a criminal record in this regard, and Alan Wilson's idea of ​​guarding against the United States is absolutely not too much.

There is also the category of technology blockade, and the third type of rare materials, which is most likely to be dug by the United States, because the term rare materials itself is very general.

In any case, Europe is geographically one, and Western Europe and Eastern Europe cannot be completely isolated. If it is true about the third rare material, it is not certain whether Europe blocked the Soviet Union or the Soviet Union blocked Europe.

At this point, Allen Wilson raised his concerns, saying that the United States may dig holes in this category.

"Either let the Americans explain clearly what this rare material means, or simply abandon this category and only block military weapons and high-tech. Anyway, I can't think of what rare materials we have but the Soviet Union does not have. Are we going to export gold to the Soviet Union? In exchange for food?"

"This is an area that we, France, think can be blocked!" Claire took out a list, obviously having a record for the upcoming meeting, and then Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands all took out their own lists.

The five countries here plus the United States have a total of six countries. Not surprisingly, they are the founding countries of the Paris Coordinating Committee.When the Paris Coordinating Committee was first established, there were only these six founding countries.Among them, Belgium and the Netherlands have quite limited technology, and the real technology is the United States, Britain, France and Italy.

Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the so-called Paris Coordinating Committee may actually have only symbolic significance for a short period of time to blockade the Soviet Union.Just look at the number of Italian Republicans in Italy and France.

Before leaving London, Alan Wilson also told Norman Brooke that this organization is currently only symbolic.It cannot be said that it has no effect at all, and the effect is also very limited.

This is simply taking a few undercover police agents to sell drugs. Don't wait until the end, except for the United Kingdom, which is closely watched by the United States, watching France and Italy continue to reach cooperation with the Soviet Union, so only the United Kingdom is the only one who is cheated.

Norman Brook can only express his agreement with the United States first, and the details can continue to be discussed.

Of course, the United Kingdom has also prepared its own technology blockade category. All the countries here agree to blockade projects. The first one is machine tools, machine tools, also known as the mother of industry, machines that make machines.The upstream of the machine tool industry includes steel and foundry industries, while the downstream affects the automobile, railway, wind power, shipbuilding, aviation and military industries related to national defense.

Mainly machine tools, the remaining automobiles, steel, shipbuilding, and all kinds of subdivisions were added, filling the increasingly long block list.

At present, Europe is under the heavy pressure of the Soviet Union. On the one hand, it needs to report to the regiment to keep warm, and on the other hand, it also needs to find foreign aid.The existence of the Soviet Union has the potential to dominate the world, which is brought about by its huge territory.

It is not only Europe that is under heavy pressure, the peace religion world in the Middle East, and the countries in the Far East are all like this.For a country as large as the Soviet Union, the pressure brought by it is already too strong.

The popularization of mechanized large-scale industry has greatly enhanced the ability of human beings to conquer nature, and the ability to break through geographical barriers and geographical distance restrictions has also been greatly improved.This has greatly changed the human understanding of geography.

Before the era of large-scale mechanized industry, human beings recognized land based on the level of primary industry and farming technology, which limited the geographic radiation and expansion capabilities of various geopolitical forces.

The advent of the era of large-scale mechanized industry has further strengthened the geographical advantages of the Soviet Union. The geographical advantages and geographical expansion capabilities of the Soviet Union have been greatly improved, and the Soviet Union has initially possessed the ability to cover the Eurasian continent.

What's more, the industrial revolution has gone through two rounds. If there is a next time, the Soviet Union, which is not very technologically advanced, is already like this. After the next industrial revolution, how can imperialism survive?

Although once the Soviet Union wins, countries will definitely emphasize that we and the Soviet Union have lived in harmony since ancient times.But wouldn't it be better if we could kill this threat now?

This mentality is actually repeated in the 21st century, but with a different opponent.

But there are still many differences. The Soviet Union was the first socialist country, and using class as a weapon has great symbolic significance.Nature is another lighthouse in the world, and a certain big country does not have this ability.

The Soviet Union can pull a bunch of countries to fight in all directions, and a certain big country may not have such influence.Therefore, the United States is struggling to bring out the second Cold War, and few countries agree.

At least for the countries on the European side, they do not agree to launch a second cold war. You two countries should fight alone so as not to affect other countries.Therefore, from a historical perspective, the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union was heavily ideological, and the latter confrontation was just an ordinary confrontation for hegemony.

Regardless of the historical significance, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was a gang fight, and the latter one was more like a one-on-one fight.

"Okay, let's wait for what the United States thinks." After comparing the lists provided by various countries, they discussed and analyzed whether some of the lists were blocked, and it was useless. A consensus emerged.

With the machine tool as the core, together with various branches of automobile, aviation, and shipbuilding, the technical blockade list has been released.

"Are you done?" Ingrid Bergman came to the conference room knowing that the representatives from other countries had already left. Seeing Alan Wilson smoking, she took a cigarette from the man's fingertips and asked without hesitation. road.

"Smoking is harmful to health!" Alan Wilson looked up and said a slogan most familiar to smokers in China. It can be said that smoking is not a strange thing for men and women in this era.

Many actresses have smoking scenes in movies, including but not limited to?Almost all Hollywood actresses, even Vivien Leigh, smoked before, but they were closely monitored by Alan Wilson when they were in British India, and finally quit.

"Speaking as if you were my husband?" Ingrid Bergman gave the man a blank look, but still stubbed out the cigarette.

Alan Wilson looked at the stubbed half of the cigarette with some heartache. Just this wasted half of the cigarette made his economic situation worse. This time he came to Paris with nothing but a Roman gold coin Did not bring.

Pamela Mountbatten has gone to develop his career. He has been eating and drinking at the embassy these days.

Isn't this also out of the consideration of eating soft food, so you come to Woodpecker Films for alms?

At this point, Alan Wilson has nothing to say. He was embarrassed to ask the Nordic Goddess to pay for half of the cigarette, so he picked up the half of the cigarette and took two puffs to show his frugal spirit.

"I'm here to experience the taste of a goddess!" Alan Wilson was confident, explaining that his behavior was just to achieve the purpose of indirect kissing with Ingrid Bergman, and it was by no means reluctant to part with half a cigarette.

"I know what to say every day. The purpose is not to get cheap from me." Ingrid Bergman pretended to point out the dirty thoughts in the man's heart, and she accepted this kind of rhetoric.

At the same time as Pamela Mountbatten held the shareholder meeting for this fundraising, Allen Wilson and representatives from the other four countries arrived at the US Embassy in Paris and conducted the first negotiations, but of course there was no result.

To put it bluntly, because the United States and European countries are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, the interests cannot be completely aligned. It can be said that there are great differences. The long exchange of interests has begun, and it is in the US embassy in Paris.

Chapter 514 Pamela's Harvest

The Paris Coordinating Committee is a tacit organization. Even the United States, which initiated it, knows that this kind of black-box operation is not an honorable thing. It is neither an official nor a treaty. Even the discussion is carried out in the American embassy.

In the first negotiation, there were basically no results. The only result was to determine who the blockade countries are. Currently, the Soviet Union and the socialist countries in Eastern Europe are included, but China, which has just stood up, is not included.

This is consistent with Alan Wilson's memory. To put it bluntly, there is almost no need for a blockade in the newly established China. Even British India was mentioned a few words, talking about the possibility of falling to the Soviet Union. None were mentioned.

It can be seen that after the golden decade of ravages, it can be said that there is nothing left of anything that has anything to do with heavy industry.Not even mentioned.

He remembered the appearance of China in the Paris Coordinating Committee, mainly because the United States lost a big man in the Korean War.The United States only temporarily joined China when the Korean War was not over yet.

Regarding the situation in the Far East, the interests of the United Kingdom and the United States are different. There is no need for Alan Wilson to remind the Americans that the United States supported the Cannon Party to fight the civil war, but the United Kingdom did not support it. Prime Minister Attlee also persuaded the Americans to admit the reality. It was the Americans I don't listen to myself.

Furthermore, why should the United Kingdom remind the United States that its assets in China totaling [-] million pounds are there, and the Americans should make up for them if they were confiscated?Two hundred and fifty million pounds is no small number.

Although after the three major battles, the United Kingdom wanted the United States to take over the companies in China, but the Americans were not stupid. How could they take over at such a dangerous time? Naturally, the British companies failed to sell.

Although there were no results, Alan Wilson and representatives of other European countries also understood that any negotiation would not be so easy to achieve their goals. After some exchanges of opinions, everyone was still optimistic.

It is good that European countries need the United States at present, but this need is mutual, and one cannot unconditionally agree to all the demands of the other.

Compared with the supply of the embassy, ​​Alan Wilson still looks forward to the life of Woodpecker Films.You can also discuss the ownership of United Artists.

At the Cannes International Film Festival, Ingrid Bergman received Chaplin as half of the host. At that time, news of Chaplin’s expulsion from the United States had spread throughout Europe. In an environment far away from the United States, many participated in the film The star of the festival does not need to deliberately alienate Chaplin.

Ingrid Bergman also specifically sniffed Chaplin's future thoughts, saying that the United States could not go back, what plans did he have?

"Chaplin will never return to the United States. I can guarantee this. Without Chaplin, the performance of United Artists Pictures will decline greatly. The United States will not allow satirical films like Chaplin to grow." Ai Ren Wilson said in an affirmative tone, "Actually, I want to buy Chaplin's shares in United Artists through Vivienne. This will not only be good for her, but also for you. Europe and North America will take care of each other, basically It will be better."

This is not entirely true. The United States actually allows satirical films of alienation to appear, such as Gotham City with its simple folk customs.But it focuses more on the non-ideological level. It is impossible to dare to grasp various contradictions like Chaplin and continue to play.

"You are so kind to Vivienne!" Ingrid Bergman had a sour taste in her mouth, even she didn't realize it, "That is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, Chaplin's life's painstaking efforts. "

"His life's hard work is doomed to fail. Do you think anyone can touch politics? Let alone a comedy master, even if he is more influential, he will definitely have a broken head." Alan Wilson touched Ingrid Bergman's hand took the opportunity to express his merit, "But Ingrid, I will definitely protect you. In my eyes, you are all fallen goddesses."

"Does the fallen goddess need the protection of the devil?" Ingrid Bergman turned her head away, as if she didn't see the man's aggressive gaze, "You are a very vicious villain, but you always do it for me. For the sake of the person he likes, he is really a contradictory person.”

"My name is to stand upright in the dark and protect the light, but it is difficult to understand this sentence in your environment." Alan Wilson straightened his back, "For the sake of all living beings, I, who should be an ordinary person, sacrificed too much."

Anyway, Ingrid Bergman only needs to know that United Artists should be in the inevitable plan.Waiting for the next big film company to have a crisis, I don't know when it will be.

How about he go find Elizabeth Taylor himself and bankrupt 17th Century Fox?But Elizabeth Taylor was only [-] years old.

As an excellent master of time management, Alan Wilson shuttled back and forth between Woodpecker Films and the British Embassy in France, not forgetting to keep an eye on Pamela Mountbatten.

Fortunately, recently, Pamela Mountbatten has a very high degree of trust in him because of the treasures of the Roman Empire. If expressed in numbers, the absolute favorability is one hundred.

For her fiancé, Pamela Mountbatten has nothing to hide. She usually makes a schedule and will send it if she can get in touch with Alan Wilson.

This is also why those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Alan Wilson, a Whitehall civil servant, wrote reports when he had nothing to do, which caused Pamela Mountbatten to follow suit and plan his life very carefully.

The biggest advantage of this is to avoid misunderstandings, and Alan Wilson is very grateful to his fiancée for her transparency.

Pamela Mountbatten, who discovered the prestige of iron ore in Australia, with the aura of the Iron Queen, achieved results much faster than Alan Wilson. After all, compared with the American state machine, a group of French nobles is really not difficult to deal with.

Before Pamela Mountbatten returned to the British embassy, ​​Alan Wilson had come back first to wait for his fiancée to arrive. Listening to the other party's feeling of being loved by the stars in the French aristocratic group, he took a rainbow fart from time to time.
