British civil servant

Alan Wilson talked to Farouk I, "It is easy to arouse the support and sympathy of Egyptian citizens for His Majesty, what does Your Majesty think?"

"Oh, Commissioner Wilson, your analysis of me makes me want to give you the title of pasha." Farouk I turned his fat body and said, "If the British are like you, I believe The relationship between Britain and the entire Arab world will definitely be much better."

Chapter 716 The Disappeared Beria

"Your Majesty is being polite. From the perspective of national attributes, if Egypt does not maintain friendly relations with the United Kingdom, who else can I trust?" Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, not hiding his reactionary position at all.

It goes without saying that the monarchy maintains friendly relations with the monarchy, and he believes that Farouk I can understand.

As for King Farouk I's visit to the UK this time, the longer the better, it will go through a series of propaganda campaigns.In the end, it will be shaped into a living king like Ali Pasha, who has exhausted all possible means except war to win the greatest benefits for Egypt.

As for the reply to Whitehall, Alan Wilson of course expressed the issue of the ownership of the Suez Canal. He has clearly informed King Farouk I of Egypt that there is nothing to discuss about this matter.

"Although this is the case, we still need to pay attention to the way we speak, and try to be as tactful as possible." Norman Brook pondered for a while and said, "It's not that we didn't pay attention to your voice from the Egyptian people, but the importance of the Suez Canal to Britain , I don’t even tell you that you understand.”

"As an overseas commissioner who was isolated in Asia by the Suez Canal, I think I understand." Alan Wilson understands that the cement shipped from British Malaya to the British mainland is actually not profitable.

It is only the use of steel to blend back profits, which is also based on the high-quality iron ore in Australia and the steel industry in British Malaya that has begun to take shape.British Malaya, which is in the early stages of development, of course cannot avoid the stage when any country wants to promote exports in the early stage, and must adopt a model of small profits but quick turnover.

The Suez Canal is very important. If the Suez Canal is used, British Malaya's exports to Europe are like Japan's exports to the United States. Although it is a bit more difficult, it will definitely be profitable.

But if the Suez Canal is not there, if it goes around Africa?Of course, Britain didn't care during the world war. The cost surge brought about by peacetime is simply not worth the candle.

Alan Wilson, who already has a verbal agreement with Farouk I, also said that this may be a protracted battle.

"That's no problem. Judging from the comparison between the UK and Egypt, the UK has a clear advantage in terms of international status, economic strength and military." Norman Brook said nonchalantly, "Since the advantage lies with me, there is nothing to say of."

"Uh, that's true." Alan Wilson opened his mouth. On the surface, it is indeed 80 vs. 60, but this is a typical data that is deceiving people. He said his own thoughts, "If only the United Kingdom and In the case of Egypt, this is established, so we must try our best to avoid foreign interference."

Norman Brook also admitted that he certainly knew who the foreign interference in Alan Wilson's mouth was referring to. This is indeed worth noting.

Deception is what Alan Wilson is currently doing. He, Farouk I and Norman Brook said the same thing, which is to prolong the negotiation cycle as much as possible and frustrate the other party.

Especially when in front of Farouk I, he is simply a double-faced person lurking inside the Great Britain.

Alan Wilson, who embodies the reliability of the non-staff minister of the Kingdom of Egypt with practical actions, discussed with Farouk I on how to achieve a win-win result.

"After a while, His Majesty the King should release the news that negotiations in London are not going well in Egypt. If necessary, take a half-true way, and spread through some gossip that England threatens to detain you in London."

Following Alan Wilson's words, Farouk I nodded frequently, "This is a good idea. The king is threatened by Britain for the benefit of Egypt. Even the most radical nationalists can't find fault."

"That's it, Your Majesty." Alan Wilson sighed with a knowing smile, "Let the Egyptians have a preconceived feeling, then we need to give a turning point, so that the Egyptians will accept that they can't get the Suez Canal back .As for filing, when I was in Egypt last time, I already talked with His Majesty."

"I'm taking a vacation in London. Egypt has nothing but deserts." King Farouk I shook his head with a long sigh, "Your UK has a very fertile land, which is really enviable."

British soil is fertile?Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, but when he thought of the land conditions in Egypt, the British land is really fertile. "Once the Aswan Dam starts construction, the situation in Egypt will be changed."

When he said this, he definitely made a decision against his ancestors. Egypt is no longer a dam that can save it.

Let’s not talk about what will happen to Egypt in the future. Anyway, the problem will not be big in 20 years. If it is not possible, the United States can take over in the future.Anyway, the 21st century is also taken over by the United States, but before it is handed over to the United States, it is still necessary to establish Egypt's self-reliant image, which will increase obstacles for the United States to station troops in the future.

From now on, his mission is to accompany King Farouk I and Vivien Leigh who is about to return to the United States to participate in the Oscars. This is the so-called balance between public and private.

But he forgot that this is the British mainland, and the result is that sometimes he has to spare a little time to deal with his sister-in-law.

After a long kiss, Princess Margaret, who was a little out of breath, sat on the man's lap, her eyes almost dripping water. In addition to being dizzy, the big hand on her chest gave her a feeling of electric shock, whispered Said, "Brother-in-law..."

"Hey!" Seeing the pink British limited edition original luxury car, Alan Wilson sighed, "Margaret, this is not acceptable, we are all adults, we should control ourselves. You It was about forcing a promising Whitehall official to make a mistake."

Alan Wilson speaks very hard, and the so-called eating and wiping is probably like this. If you take off the hand that is still covering the princess's heart, it will definitely be more convincing.

"I'm so obedient!" Princess Margaret was cautious. This princess, who has always been known for her natural nature, has changed her original self-willedness too much. Isn't it satisfactory now?

The answer is no!At least Alan Wilson feels that it is not enough now, Her Royal Highness Princess still has huge room for improvement.However, the current state is still highly risky, and of course it will take a long time to slowly adjust.

"You're always going to get married, so no one will introduce you to a good match?" Alan Wilson looked away guiltily, looking like a sanctimonious hypocrite. At this moment, he still didn't let go of his hand rubbing the princess's chest. .

"There are a few candidates, but I don't like them." Princess Margaret didn't realize it, she hooked Alan Wilson's neck with one hand, and said while maintaining her current sitting posture, "Brother-in-law, don't you like me?" ?”

Princess Margaret was a little worried, afraid of hearing what she didn't like to hear, it was all like this, this man still didn't like herself.

"The question is never whether you like it or not. As a princess, you are too small. There is only one problem. I am your brother-in-law, and you are still a princess. This is the biggest problem."

Alan Wilson sighed quietly, feeling that today's tutorial is almost done, and he must get out safely.

Princess Margaret, who is already 23 years old, has reached the best years of her life. Alan Wilson has become more and more unable to restrain his inner impulse. Today, he couldn't help giving the princess a long kiss. What will happen in the future?

When the princess left, Alan Wilson suddenly blurted out, "Why are so many beautiful women loving me at the same time?"

He is quite angry now, just as Vivien Leigh is about to leave, these two days are the time to pester people, killing two birds with one stone.

During this period of public and private considerations, some unconfirmed rumors also appeared in Egypt. The common point of these news is that it revolves around the diplomatic struggle against Farouk I for Egypt and the United Kingdom.

Farouk I drove Queen Elizabeth to the throne this time and came to the UK to take the opportunity to negotiate with the British government on the ownership of the Suez Canal. This is what Farouk I said before his departure.

Of course, all the Egyptians enthusiastically supported His Majesty's move, but as a few weeks passed, the King was still stranded in London, and some news about the British house arrest of Farouk I began to spread in Egypt irresistibly. .

At the critical moment when Farouk I was fighting for the ownership of the canal, the news of being under house arrest began to spread. Of course, it caused the Egyptian people to sympathize with His Majesty the King. The King may not be as popular as Ali Pasha, but on this issue, he still got The support of all Egyptians.

Public opinion in Egypt has been fed back to Whitehall through the British embassy in Cairo. Sir Ismay, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had to ask Alan Wilson to ask, "What happened to Farouk I?"

"Maybe he did it on purpose, trying to create a kind of public opinion to put pressure on us." Of course, Alan Wilson couldn't say that it had anything to do with him, and instead praised Farouk I for being wise and powerful.

"That thief has such a plan?" Sir Ismay had an expression of disbelief. He didn't dare to say that he had seen countless people, but he didn't see that King Farouk I had such a talent.

Alan Wilson also had the same expression as Sir Ismay, and said while thinking, "Actually, I can see it too, but respected sir, after all, we have never been kings before, and there may be some problems. Only in a similar position Talent comes naturally.”

"Maybe!" Sir Ismay was convinced. He didn't see Alan Wilson's relieved look, and he took out a report from Moscow and said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I doubt what our diplomats are doing. Beria hasn't been seen in public for several days, what does that say?"

"Huh?" Alan Wilson's mind turned sharply, and he calculated the time, which was almost when Beria was purged. "For the Soviet Union, it may really explain a lot of things."

Chapter 717 The Dragoons Are Free

Sir Ismay's face was full of astonishment, and it took him a long time to slowly nod his head, and said to himself, "Then something really big might have happened."

The two were speechless, and needles could be heard in the office, thinking about a series of impacts brought about by this matter.

But it is useless to change the topic immediately, what can Britain do to the Soviet Union?Nothing can be done.

Alan Wilson actually thought very simple, nothing more than the question of whether Beria was dead or not.

According to official sources released by later generations, Beria was interrogated for several months and finally sentenced to death.

However, many sources indicated that Beria was attacked suddenly, and even if he was not killed on the spot, he was killed very quickly.Because no one knew what happened to Beria after his arrest, even his own files were deliberately destroyed by the Soviet Union.

"Is this a typical shipwreck in the gutter?" Walking out of the Foreign Ministry building, Alan Wilson was still thinking about this major event that originated from another country and had nothing to do with him.

In fact, judging from the momentum of the past few months, Beria has the greatest power among the Big Three. He has re-merged the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The commander of the Moscow Military District is also a general he promoted. He is second only to Malenkov's government. character.

It can be said that as long as Beria is determined, he can pass a coup that will not spread widely and let others stand aside.

With the support of the Moscow Military Region and the complete Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not a problem that can be done, but there is a considerable success rate, at least the chance of winning is better than a group of people researching and dealing with him.

The leadership of the Soviet Union cannot guarantee its own safety. As the general political commissar of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time, Beria thinks that competitors can be eliminated in a soft way. .

Beria should have experienced many times in his life. Leaders with high positions cannot guarantee their own safety and let them be fished by mermaids.But he didn't expect that he would face such a scene in the end.

The matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to pay attention to this matter, just wait for the official announcement of the Soviet Union.

With this time, why not think about the British Treasure and Her Royal Highness, thinking that Vivien Leigh is about to leave for the United States. From the perspective of urgency, the former needs him more now.

During the period of returning to London, it was a rare and fulfilling day for Vivien Leigh, and the smile on her face never faded.

"Who is more hopeful this time?" Alan Wilson kept his eyes on Vivien Leigh, who was trying on new underwear, and asked for a topic in a tone that I knew a lot about movies. As for whether I really understood, that was not important.

"The voice of Shirley Booth this year is very high." Vivien Leigh was very satisfied with herself in the mirror.

"Never heard of it? I've never heard you mention it!" Alan Wilson thought with a puzzled face. He knew all of Vivien Leigh's female friends who had a good relationship, and he was sure that there was no such person.

"How could you possibly know her? Strictly speaking, she is an actress of the same era as Gish. She is almost 60 years old." Vivien Leigh turned around and walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat down. "This time, it depends on whether Heidi can pass the test." The call for the beautiful legend of Sicily is also very high, I hope she can win the award."

"Looking at it like this is a good opportunity!" Alan Wilson finally became a little interested in the awards in the entertainment industry when he heard it.Heidi Lamarr has never been recognized by a major award, and it would be great if her dream could come true this time.

"Do you really want Heidi to win the award?" Vivien Leigh asked, staring at the man in front of her.

"From a friend's point of view, of course I would be happy that she won the award." Alan Wilson began to explain in a rambling manner, trying to make it irrelevant to him.

"Friends are good enough to have children?" Vivien Leigh sighed quietly, "It would be fine if you weren't so sentimental. Don't explain, I accept the reality. I'm already getting old!"

If Vivien Leigh hadn't been married and wasn't older than Alan Wilson, she would definitely ask for an explanation.This cannot be smoothed out with help in life and career, but when you think about your age?

"Well, since you started exercising frequently, your condition is much better than before." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and pulled the national treasure into his arms and said softly, "Do you add regular exercise after quitting smoking, whether it is physical or mental? It's better. Just trust me."

In recent years, Vivien Leigh has become a major trend in the American entertainment industry. In addition to being promoted to the boss of United Artists Films, she also helped a lot in managing the circle of friends of female stars in the same period.

Alan Wilson suddenly became curious about movies these days, of course because of Beria, he wanted United Artists and Woodpecker Pictures to help him make a flattering movie, centered on Beria's death, and made A meal of human blood steamed buns, of course, is for Prime Minister Attlee.

Who asked the British Prime Minister to be elected every five years? If filming starts now, it will be released next year, and Britain will have another election soon.

For Alan Wilson, leaning towards the Labor Party was simply a matter of no choice, and the 17 years from the post-war period to [-] were extremely important to Britain.Historically, the Labor Party has only been in power for five years, and the Conservative Party has been in power for the rest of the time.

The British Empire performed a free fall all over the world. It is very confusing to attribute this responsibility to the Labor Party, which has only been in power for five years.

The iconic Suez Canal and the Nassau Agreement all took place during the time when the Conservative Party was in power. As a result, the Labor Party misled the country.

Now even from the perspective of policy continuity, he also hopes that the Labor Party can accumulate enough time in power.Otherwise, changing every five years is still not a good choice for an empire in decline.

Intellectually, Alan Wilson knew that the more a declining empire struggled, the faster it would decline.Prescribing strong medicine for severe illness will often send the patient to the west.

If decline is inevitable, then a Labor Party that is not so troublesome is a better choice than the so-called Conservative Party that safeguards the interests of the empire but always makes Britain avalanche.

He hopes that the Labor Party can be in power for a long time, and he also understands one thing in his heart, that is, each trick can only be used once and must not be repeated. The last time has made Britain continue to be great, and this time it is necessary to change to a different field to help.

For this politically related film, he can provide some inside information, but he still needs a big company to help.

Didn't the Soviet Union say that Beria's attitude towards Germany was the crime of its imperialist agents?Then film the Berlin crisis, plus Prime Minister Attlee's visit to Moscow as one of the passages, implying that after careful thinking to strive for the greatest interests of the free world, the final result led to Beria's death.

United Artists in the United States and Woodpecker Films in France are more accessible for this kind of film than British film and television companies, and they will not be subject to relevant restrictions. In a sense, Ai Zhongtang can only choose the curve to save the country.

Alan Wilson, who was worried about the British Empire, could only do it himself, serving Vivien Leigh with blood and sweat.

Vivien Leigh, who was very fulfilled, was very happy. Before leaving, she said that she would definitely come back soon, so that Ellen Wilson's overseas work would not be lonely.

On July [-], [-], various newspapers in Moscow published an explosive piece of news: A few days ago, the CPSU held a central and plenum meeting and decided to remove Beria from the CPSU Central Committee and Committee and expelled him from the party. .On the same day, Beria's first vice-chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers and Minister of the Interior were also dismissed.

This earth-shattering news was announced by the Soviet Union itself, which confirmed the previous speculation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Beria's sudden disappearance.From the perspective of Whitehall, this is of course an excellent opportunity to show the professionalism of civil servants.

Alan Wilson, who was under house arrest with the King of Egypt, was called directly to Whitehall No. 70. Norman Brooke inquired about the discussion with Ismay that day. With a draft in mind, he went to report to Prime Minister Attlee.

The news of Beria's purging must be the most discussed event in the free world at present, but in Bonn, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, in the Hellmann family estate, the intensity of the discussion is no less intense than that of the politicians of various countries.

"The chief political commissar was arrested?" Anna was horrified when she heard the news, and spoke Russian that she hadn't spoken for many years.

As highly valued spies, the two had one-line contact with Lubyanka at the beginning of each month. It was Lubyanka who contacted the two sisters first, and then the two sisters tried to send the information back. There was no contact this month.

Bokina and Anna were still very confused. The contact between the two parties was always very punctual. This was the first accident in the past few years. Now that the news of Beria's arrest came, the two sisters knew what the problem was.

"Yeah, it's really unexpected." Pokina couldn't come to her senses for a long time, and someone could arrest Beria without anyone noticing, which challenged the common sense of the two of them.

No wonder the contact was interrupted this time, maybe Lubyanka is also very confused now.I can't care about the two sisters at all!

"Should we contact the country now?" Pokina became confused for a moment.

"Contact?" Anna's face changed when she heard that, and she switched the language to German again, "Why do you want to contact? We are respected people in Germany, have a good life, and have our own children. I objected last time, You reported the information on the Berlin crisis, you are betraying our man, the father of our child. Do you really think he doesn’t know, why didn’t he come to Bonn?”

"What do you want to say?" Pokina looked at her younger sister with strange eyes. She was also very conflicted and dared not respond to Anna's accusation.

"I don't want to be a spy anymore. If we can't get in touch because of the chaos in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no one can prove that we are spies." Anna had a feeling in her heart, and said bluntly, "I have a very strong hunch, Our spies are over, and we are going to be free."

"You think too simply." Pokina shook her head slightly, "Although this is a bright future."

Chapter 718 Canal Ownership Negotiation

"I don't care, I trust my intuition, breaking contact directly is our best result." Anna shook her head to herself, "We are worthy of the Soviet, no matter from any aspect. Half of Berlin How about sending it out?"

"Even if it's a high-end spy, it's impossible for us to contribute as much as we do, right? Now we're thinking about our future, our future, instead of taking our whole life into it. It's been eight years, isn't it enough? "

This is Anna's true thoughts at this time, she doesn't want to continue like this, and always shares the bed with the person she loves with a purpose.This has become a torment.

"What is Alan sorry for us? Without him, we can't imagine everything today."

"I didn't say anything!" Pokina's momentum weakened, which is very rare among sisters.

"You have no reason to say anything!" Anna sneered, "You can even betray the father of your own child and put him in an embarrassing situation. What else do you want to say? Of course you are worthy of the Soviet Union, but then again Now, am I sorry for the motherland? I just think, I have to live for myself now."

live for yourself?Pokina's heart was touched, and this is not her idea.But although she is leading the two sisters in many aspects, she dare not go one step further in this matter.

"Stop talking!" Pokina said weakly, clutching her chest, "Only this time, I'll listen to you."

Reason told Pokina that there was little chance of cutting off contact all at once, but the future Anna mentioned was not the future she hoped for. She also regretted it and wanted to walk under the sun and be a free woman.

Now the sisters have amassed a huge fortune that will only increase over time.Both of them have their own son, who has gradually grown up and is a very smart child. He will definitely be an influential figure in the industry in the future.
