British civil servant

The ancient Egyptian cultural relics in China are related to Duanfang in the late Qing Dynasty. The late Qing Dynasty sent five ministers to Europe and the United States to investigate constitutionalism, and Duanfang was among them.Duanfang is a lover of cultural relics. On his way back from his European inspection, he stopped by Egypt.

At that time, Egypt was not as good as the Qing Dynasty, and it was even more chaotic. All kinds of precious cultural relics thousands of years old were sold publicly, and they were extremely cheap.

As a lover of cultural relics, Duan Fang changed his obedience during his investigation in Europe and made a big attack on Egypt. He scanned a lot of precious cultural relics of ancient Egypt, including but not limited to the painted coffins of the No.19 Dynasty in ancient Egypt, and some steles. A large number of precious cultural relics.Later, he brought all these cultural relics back to the country.

Later, part of Duanfang's collection became the collection of the National Museum.After all, it is a legal transaction, and the Egyptians can't say anything.

Seeing these clay tablets brought from Iraq, Alan Wilson directly found the feeling of Master Zhongtang.

"It's a pity, the ancient ruins in Southeast Asia are in Indonesia, otherwise I can move some back." It took a long time to look away from the clay tablet, and Alan Wilson said with regret.

"I heard you mentioned it, it seems to be a tower." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and began to persuasion, "Honey, it's not, it's really not."

As a wife, Pamela Mountbatten is well aware of the virtues of her husband. If this idea is deeply rooted, she may not always act on it.

"It's nothing, it's really not messing around at this time. If salvage excavation could have been carried out ten years ago." Alan Wilson replaced the theft with salvage excavation to defend his idea, "You said that the Egyptians and Iraqis Should we thank us, if we don’t dig, how will they know where the relics of these ancient civilizations are? Although some cultural relics have entered the collection of the British Museum, these cultural relics can be seen again, no credit but hard work.”

The Borobudur Tower, the eighth wonder of the world, is in the hands of Indonesia. Alan Wilson expressed his grief unabashedly.

The Borobudur Tower is indeed the eighth wonder of the world in the Indonesian version. Seven so-called ancient miracles are recognized, so the eighth wonder has become a publicity trick, especially in attracting tourists. A different eighth wonder came out. Including but not limited to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Borobudur Tower in Indonesia, Taj Mahal in India, and the Amber Room, etc.

"Anyway, I still want to fill the Emerald House." After turning around, Alan Wilson put down such a sentence, marking the failure of Pamela Mountbatten's persuasion.

Alan Wilson still wants to carry out banditry from all over the world to snatch back the good things he looks at.

"What do I do with the ivory I brought back from Africa?" Alan Wilson, who followed his wife out of the Emerald House, was still talking about it.

"How about making an ivory bed?" Pamela Mountbatten held her belly with her hands, and had already specified the object of service.

"Good idea!" Alan Wilson's eyes lit up, and everyone appreciated his wife's idea.

At this moment, Alan Wilson's heart is full of heavy responsibilities, and at the same time he feels that this era has failed him.If you want to get a chance to legally rob, you can only wait for the collapse of the Soviet bloc.

The current priority is to get rid of his princess and sister-in-law first. Whether this British limited-edition luxury car can get back on track, Alan Wilson thinks it can be rescued.

"Do you know that once your current behavior is exposed, it will have a major negative impact on the royal family." Alan Wilson pinched his waist with both hands, and angrily reprimanded Princess Margaret condescendingly.

That is to say, in the Emerald House, Pamela Mountbatten is still there, so it is not easy for him to educate the princess.

"What's the important influence? The queen is my older sister, who would provoke me when she has nothing to do?" Princess Margaret raised her face and muttered unconvinced.

"I'm a married man! I can't be sorry for my wife. Especially for you. It is true that every man hopes to have such a dream experience, but my reason tells me that it is no different from sleeping with a landmine."

Considering the risks, Alan Wilson advised Princess Margaret to take care of herself. The princess is still young and can't control it.

Princess Margaret's disbelief had already shown on her face, she muttered, "You didn't hide when I kissed you."

"Didn't dodge!" Alan Wilson corrected sternly.

"Just didn't hide!" Princess Margaret snorted softly, "You dare not admit it, it's very disappointing."

"Even if I didn't hide, I still have my own considerations." Alan Wilson didn't worry about these details anymore, "You should consider Pamela's feelings. When she was with me, she was an innocent little girl."

Princess Margaret was taken aback for a moment, and then retorted in embarrassment, "Are you saying I'm not innocent? I haven't been touched by anyone."

Alan Wilson stared straight at Princess Margaret, looked up and down carefully and asked, "Really."

To be honest, he almost had the urge to impose a limited edition luxury car just now, but he still suppressed the dangerous thought.

Alan Wilson thought that the evil thoughts just now hadn't been discovered, but he just thought so. Princess Margaret had just clearly felt that fleeting evil gaze.The skin on his body seemed to have been swept over every inch.

On this issue, the only possibility to prevent the situation from getting out of control depends on where Alan Wilson's moral high ground is. It is useless to say more.

At night, Pamela Mountbatten looked up at her husband in tears at the Emerald House Manor in Hawkson, and said pitifully, "You are too much, how can you come back to take revenge like this, I am your wife."

The ferocious swing of the stick in front of him has already shown the current state of its owner. Pamela Mountbatten is very wronged, one time is enough, come again?

"I have to perform well, or you may suspect that I have something with Turing." Alan Wilson said condescendingly, with an orderly tone, "Hurry up, this is my right as a husband."

According to Princess Margaret, the most evil person in the world wants to do a little evil now, which is not too much.

Returning from Hawkson Manor, Alan Wilson understood his wife's hard work and did not continue.After all, there is life in the belly, so he can't do anything now.

As for the matter with Her Royal Highness, it is currently under the Munich agreement, and it is good that the well water does not violate the river water.

Alan Wilson, who returned to London, visited Turing by the way, saying that the matter had been suppressed.

Seeing Alan Wilson's Turing this time, he was a little embarrassed, as if he was ashamed because his secret was no longer a secret, "This time you and your wife have helped a lot, otherwise I will definitely be judged."

"Maxisen, I don't have any dislike for people like you. In fact, I believe that this can be done in peace. Although you are a small circle, most people just need to stay away from it. Judgment or something is too intense. Yes. Although God is omniscient and omnipotent, when creating human beings, it is impossible to follow God’s old man’s standard and make people so perfect.”

"Alan, I feel that when you say these words, it seems that you are God yourself." Turing is still grateful to Alan Wilson, otherwise this time things will not be so easy to pass.

"Speaking of it, you may not believe it. In this place in London, my words may be more effective than his old man."

Alan Wilson said jokingly, "Of course, if at the right time, we will remove the problem of people like you from the category of criminals, I believe this will not be a problem."

Chapter 681 The Gilded Project

Alan Wilson is not possessed by the white left. He suddenly wants to learn from the United States in the 21st century and play the identity politics of gay minorities.However, the current world's attitude towards people like Turing is indeed too much.

People like Turing are not something that this group can choose. It is unreasonable to put one in prison if one is found.

For Alan Wilson's attitude of keeping a distance and not disturbing each other, Turing is already excited enough. In this era, people like Turing don't have the death mentality of wanting to talk about their orientation every day. Being able to have the acquiescence of the mainstream group has already enough to be happy.

In fact, the Turing incident did not spread, and the newspapers did not mention it. Now the citizens of London are discussing that the black athletes in the colonies will win glory for the country. This is a major event for citizens. As for the Iranian oil crisis and the Egyptian coup Even NATO, which is about to pay the water surface, cannot attract the interest of London citizens, let alone such trivial matters as Turing.

"Just keep paying attention to your scientific research. In fact, if you become more successful, you will also contribute to mankind on behalf of your group. I believe that ordinary people will recognize your group, at least they will not discriminate."

Alan Wilson also drew a pie. He himself is very much looking forward to Turing's use of computers to bring a wave of dividends to the UK. After all, the entire UK can only count on Turing now, and others are even more unreliable.

In this era, Alan Wilson only understood that the size of the UK limited its development.It is impossible to fully blossom like the United States and the Soviet Union. For a country, scale is really important.

For example, Japan's development reached its peak and was cleaned up by the United States, causing it to fall into a quagmire. The most fundamental reason is that Japan's scale is not enough, and it has fallen into the predicament of Galapagosization.

Even at the same level of technology, if the United States and Japan promote it at the same time, the United States will use its larger scale to allow the world to recognize American standards, and block Japanese standards in the country so that they cannot be promoted.

Galapagosization does not only exist in Japan, China's Internet is a larger-scale Galapagosization.Any Internet company that goes overseas will face stronger American companies.The Chinese Internet companies that got it started to compete with vegetable vendors for profit.

With the current population size of the UK, if you feel that you can be on an equal footing with the United States just because of the UK.It will definitely be Galapagosized by the American hammer, so it must become the leader of the European Community.

If it can't, even if the UK has the same technology as the US, it will not be the US's opponent in the final competition for standards, and all kinds of British products will be quickly blocked in the country.

The luckier thing about the UK than Japan is that the UK can now speak in the European Community.Japan has a good relationship with Southeast Asia, but China and South Korea, which are close at hand, have a grudge against Japan, and Japan cannot rely on it.

In fact, Britain now stands out from the crowd in Europe. In 100, Britain's car production exceeded 100 million.It seems that it cannot be compared with the production of the United States, but now the United Kingdom is the only country other than the United States that produces more than [-] million cars.

Moreover, the price of British cars is much higher than that of the United States, and other industries are the same as the automobile industry. Although they are not as good as the United States, they have also widened the gap with European countries.The British car is also the only car that can make it to North America!

The background of being a world hegemon has undoubtedly been revealed. It seems that in a short period of time, Alan Wilson will never want to transfer the automobile industry to the colony he manages.

With Alan Wilson's help, Turing's arrest did not affect his research. This result is very gratifying.

As for the enduring public discussion on black athletes, he has nothing to do with it. He is more concerned about when NATO was established.

This time in the Berlin crisis, the Soviet Union cut off the power system in Berlin and began to build the Berlin Wall.The development situation in Europe has led to a sharp rise, and it has also brought NATO, which has been under discussion, into people's vision.

In fact, according to Alan Wilson's memory, NATO has been around for three years, which is long overdue.

However, the three-year window period is still effective. It must be said that because of the Berlin crisis in [-] in history, the United Kingdom agreed to the United States to establish a military base in the United Kingdom to deploy strategic bombers.

The Berlin crisis was three years late, so there were no US military bases in Britain.However, the Berlin crisis in this time and space broke out after the Korean War, and after MacArthur's hasty remarks on nuclear weapons appeared, it is estimated that it is impossible for the UK to agree to the US setting up a military base in the UK in the future.

It is also not possible to garrison each other. This is the news that Alan Wilson inquired from Whitehall. Although the United States did not propose this, Whitehall has already conducted hypothetical discussions on this.Even if the United States says that the United Kingdom can also station troops in the United States, reciprocity will suffer.

Alan Wilson, who rushed to Whitehall, met Sir Ismay, Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry. When I asked about the military alliance, I also knew the bottom line of the current cabinet.

"We have discussed with the Americans. Of course, France is the core of the military alliance, and the Federal Republic of Germany is regarded as the front line. Therefore, the layout of the military base is mainly based on France." Sir Ismay said calmly, "Washington also agrees. Such an arrangement. After all, France is a powerful country in the army, and we can only rely on the French when Germany can't count on it for the time being."

"There are also Italians!" Alan Wilson added following Sir Ismay's words, "Anyway, we are not good at the army, so we cannot afford such a arduous task, and there are still many colonies that need to garrison troops. The current strength is 80% Ten thousand standing troops are not enough, how can we increase our troops in Europe?"

After shirking some responsibility, Alan Wilson seemed to remember something, and asked, "What do you say about the command of this military alliance? This is a big deal."

Responsibility should be shirked, but the command power cannot be shirked, on the contrary, we must strive for it.

"This military alliance is dominated by the United Kingdom and the United States, sharing the power of the military alliance." Ismay replied.

In fact, most of the proposals for the establishment of NATO have already been discussed.

"By the way, the United States hopes that Greece and Turkey will join this military alliance. We have already approved it!" Sir Ismay also took the initiative to tell Alan Wilson about this.

Seeing Sir Ismay's feeling good about himself, Alan Wilson thought of a sentence, I thought he was here to help me!

In the early days of NATO's establishment, it was a British-American dual giant model.It can be seen from the fact that Eisenhower became the commander-in-chief and Montgomery was the deputy commander-in-chief, but the chief civilian head of NATO is the United Kingdom.NATO is what Britain and the United States say!

However, if de Gaulle came to power, he would fight for the same command power for France. He wanted to change the status quo that France was subordinate to the United Kingdom and the United States in NATO. brussels.

Within a year, France first announced that its Mediterranean Fleet was not under NATO command; then France rejected the US setting up nuclear weapons in France and forced the US to withdraw its nuclear bombs and bombers carrying nuclear weapons in France.

After France exploded its first atomic bomb.It also announced that the Atlantic Fleet was not under NATO command.Recall all French officers serving in NATO Naval Command.

Charles de Gaulle sent a letter to US President Johnson requesting to formally withdraw from NATO's military institutions, and announced the withdrawal of all French troops under NATO's command. At the same time, he also canceled the right of NATO military aircraft to transit and land in France, and ordered the withdrawal of US troops and their bases within one year. out of France.

Finally, France withdrew from NATO's military integration agency; it withdrew from NATO's Military Council.NATO headquarters moved from Paris to Brussels.

"Eisenhower is going to be president soon. I wonder who will be the commander-in-chief of NATO?" Alan Wilson murmured in his heart, and couldn't help asking, wondering who the United States wanted to send to be the commander-in-chief of NATO.

"Washington hasn't made a decision yet, but there is a voice that is General Ridgway, who is recommended by the United States." Sir Ismay smiled sarcasticly, and then changed his style, "Allen, do you know why I want to talk to you about these things? ?”

"I don't know!" Alan Wilson replied with a blank face, and even opened his mind. Did the other party suspect that he was a Soviet spy?

Alan Wilson, who was next to him with a grievance, heard Sir Ismay say, "When you signed the contract with the United States, you and I attended with the Foreign Secretary. Sir Norman hopes that you can add glory to your resume." a sum."

"I feel very honored!" Alan Wilson understood that this was a pie in the sky. Although he is still in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is actually a colonial commissioner now. This matter has nothing to do with him.Ser Ismay's doing this really did him good.

Who would say no to gold plating?Anyway, Alan Wilson couldn't refuse, and even sent telegrams to Kuala Lumpur and Africa to quickly send our British Apocalypse, the Honorable Sir Norman Brooke, Cabinet Secretary, to provide good timber.

When he got home, Allen Wilson told him that he would return to Malaya after being gilded.

"When will it be signed?" Pamela Mountbatten had heard about the military alliance, and don't forget who her father was.Relevant discussions have long been heard.

"August 25th, there is still one month left." Alan Wilson raised his wrist and looked at the time, "The place of signing is in Paris. The alliance is merged. The headquarters of the Brussels Treaty Organization will also be moved from London to Paris, and Paris will be the new headquarters of this military alliance."

"Oh, the Helsinki Olympics should be over by then, so I know whether the sports lottery this time is worth long-term investment in the future." Pamela Mountbatten nodded, "Honey, you have a bright future in the eyes of everyone in Whitehall ah?"

Chapter 682 For the Free World

"You can't say that, there are still competitors, such as Burke Trend, such as Rogers, and Douglas, Frank, etc." Barton, you can really round back the blown bull.

"Sir Edward's deputy? Ambassador to the United States, Commissioner of the European Community?" Pamela Mountbatten matched the names in her husband's mouth one by one, and then said, "What you lack is the experience of domestic civil servants. Of course, this cannot be vacant for a long time. Yes, but among the few people you mentioned, Burke Trend is the most threatening, and Sir Norman placed him beside Sir Edward, which shows how much he takes him seriously."

Alan Wilson agrees with that, who is Edward Bridges?The former cabinet secretary, the current secretary of the civil service and the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, this is equivalent to Burke Trend, as the confidant of the current emperor, being placed next to the emperor, which shows the degree of trust.

"My dear, it seems that Sir Edward's birthday is coming soon, if you don't mind working hard. Let's organize a private party!" Alan Wilson suggested after a while, "Sir Edward happens to be 60 years old. Years are of great significance."

In fact, the significance of being 60 years old in the UK is not small. At this time in the 50s, the retirement age for British civil servants was 60 years old, but so far, Edward Bridges has no signs of completely retiring.

"It's a good idea. In terms of internal relations in Whitehall, you don't have to worry about it when you are not in the country." Pamela Mountbatten agreed very much. Edward Bridges' birthday is in August.

Just do it, Pamela Mountbatten decided to do what she can to help her husband's future.

Of course, this is due to the huge financial resources she has accumulated now.However, this does not involve a power-for-money transaction. She is completely selfless and just uses an occasion to socialize as necessary.

Although Edward Bridges will have to leave his job for at most another five years, for now, Edward Bridges remains the Civil Service Chief of the Empire.

In this case, Pamela Mountbatten is obviously much more comfortable, and Alan Wilson usually follows his wife's rhythm.Although not as professional as my wife, but judging from the final result, the effect is still very good.

Edward Bridges is very happy. The young leader who was once optimistic has always been grateful, which is very gratifying.

He is also very much in favor of Alan Wilson leaving his mark on the establishment of NATO, and at the same time hinted that he is more optimistic about the more well-connected Alan Wilson than Burke Trend, the so-called assistant.

"I am very grateful to Sir Edward for his importance to me." Allen Wilson couldn't help but smile when he heard that, "I have always used reliability as the yardstick of dedication to the empire, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"Alan, I have never doubted your reliability. There are no shackles on your body except age. Actually, age is not a big problem. Rogers only started his career as a civil servant in [-]. Now the same is done for the EC Commissioner," Edward Bridges said of the current EC Commissioner.

"Of course, the empire is full of talents, which has always been a good thing for our country." Alan Wilson nodded hurriedly.

There are not only a few candidates who can compete for the cabinet secretary. Apart from the few people he has locked up, why are the five elites of Cambridge not the young talents of the empire?It's just serving another country.

Regarding the signing of NATO this time, it is naturally also under discussion between Edward Bridges and Alan Wilson.

Entering [-], the Korean War, which was fought and stopped, no longer had the conditions to involve the entire experience of the United States.The beginning of the Berlin crisis made the United States, which has already drawn some energy, re-emphasize the issue of European security.

Compared with Europe, the Far East is after all just some trivial issues, and after the Soviet Union annexed Hokkaido, the Berlin crisis that followed immediately made Britain realize that it was imminent to conclude a military alliance.

The recovery of the United Kingdom from the war was accompanied by the recovery of the Soviet Union from the war. After all, the sizes of the two countries are completely different.The upper limit of the Soviet Union is not comparable to the United Kingdom with a population of only 5000 million.

The United States also got rid of the confused period in the early post-war period, and also intends to intervene in European affairs, and Britain and the United States hit it off immediately.

"The military responsibilities of the Brussels organization will be merged into the new military alliance, and the economic and trade part will also be merged into the European Community. What about the garrisons in the colonies? I don't know if we have talked about this aspect?" The current Western European countries are still colonial. Covering many parts of the world, how do you count the troops stationed in the colonies?

"This part is not within the framework." Edward Bridges said that the United Kingdom still has reservations on the colonial issue, and the United States is still a suspicious ally of the United Kingdom on the colonial issue.

Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. Britain was not as confused as the threat of the Soviet Union. NATO's protection range was only within Europe, and Britain's overseas troops were still armed forces controlled by Britain itself.
