British civil servant

"Do you still remember this?" Anna's face collapsed, and she said with an aggrieved tone, "Isn't it just a West Berlin? It's not your place in England."

"This kind of understatement really looks like the world's largest territorial power." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said it easily. It is a semi-international city with a population of more than 200 million.

What now?A ghost town with more than 1 garrisons, Alan Wilson doesn't know if the garrisons of Britain, the United States and France will have nightmares. Anyway, if he has a choice, he will definitely not go to West Berlin even once.

But today, he is not afraid that the dragoon sisters will betray him again, unless the sisters' belief in communism has reached the point where they are willing to sacrifice their lives. Alan Wilson does not deny that there are such people, but such people do not Many, especially women.

"I don't deny that the Soviet Union is indeed ahead in the aerospace field, but the United States is not easy to deal with. With the current economic situation and remaining power of the United Kingdom, it is not impossible to follow up. But there are so many fields of competition. If the United States and Surin For a confrontation, the UK has to follow up, we don’t have such a big capability, so we must integrate European forces.”

On the basis of industry, Europe is still strong, and its traditional industrial capacity is still higher than that of the United States.But this so-called industrial capacity is distributed in various countries, not concentrated in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom will follow up in space competition today. Should the Air Force follow up?Should the navy follow suit?How can the UK have the national strength to follow up?The United States has built a strategic bomber that is more expensive than the same amount of gold, and the United Kingdom will also come to one?

It is enough for the UK to prove that it has this kind of thing. The current three-V bomber is enough, and there is no need to continue to follow up.

"Will the United States agree to the integration of European countries?" Anna was a little worried. "The new border policy of the United States is to treat Europe as a line of defense that obeys the United States. Even we can see this."

"Of course I can see it too, but I can only take a step forward." Alan Wilson didn't say much about this topic.

In fact, he does not have much to do. Even if the income of British citizens is the same as that of the United States, the national power is still only one-third of that of the United States. National power has little to do with per capita.

The United Kingdom has Malaya as a production base, and the United States still has Japan?There is no good chance for the US to be weak, and now the US is still invincible to the UK.

At the end of 1960, Alan Wilson left London again and went to Paris to negotiate, nominally to persuade France to re-understand NATO, because France has indeed stripped off many NATO's right to use military facilities in France.

But in secret, he came to talk to the French, what do the French think about the establishment of the European Space Agency?

France did build a space center, in the middle of the Algerian desert, called the Hamakir Cosmodrome.However, Algeria is currently not safe, and the space center has not been used much.

At the current time, Britain's aerospace technology is still stronger than France, firmly ranking third in the world.The space center in Australia was also established very early and is already in operation.

But Alan Wilson didn't think that this matter would be a success, and de Gaulle didn't trust either Britain or the United States.

It just shows that he distrusts the United States even more, and he will not hand over the dominance of European aerospace to the United Kingdom. After all, the competition in the aerospace field is a matter of a country's face, and it is difficult to trust a suspicious ally in this matter.

But even so, the plan he proposed on behalf of the United Kingdom is still full of sincerity, and the development of the European aerospace industry has embarked on a path of cooperative development.This is a road of diversity and unity, which demonstrates the synergy of complementary advantages, solidarity and cooperation among European countries.

The overall structure of the European aerospace industry is a multi-dimensional structure: aerospace science and technology and industrial strength are evenly distributed on the three levels of the country, the intergovernmental international organization, and the European Community.Among them, the UK's aerospace comprehensive strength is in a leading position, representing the cutting-edge level of aerospace technology in European countries; as an intergovernmental international organization, the European Space Agency, but European aerospace is integrated: the European Space Agency is just like the leader, bringing different The melody organized into a harmonious movement.

In order to reflect the advantages of different European countries and take into account the interests of all, the main institutions of the space agency are evenly distributed in several European countries.In different considerations, different countries have roles. The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and Italy are all among them, and they want Europe to unite and be independent.

In fact, this plan brought out by the French is closer to reality, but is it brought out by Alan Wilson?It's like getting the wrong script.

The de Gaulle government quickly discussed the establishment of the European Space Agency, an olive branch offered by a suspicious ally.

"The British said that they can open the Wumera launch site to serve European countries." George Pidour exchanged views with Jean Monnet on this issue.

Jean Monnet is an important supporter of the European integration process. Of course, his support is useless, and de Gaulle is not very supportive.De Gaulle himself meant to turn the EC into an institution in which France leads Europe.

This is the same as Alan Wilson's opinion that the European Community should be led by the United Kingdom. As for European integration, he doesn't really care about it.

Jean Monnet is different. In the original history, Jean Monnet should have been the first speaker of the European Parliament, but now there is the United Kingdom in the European Community. The economic strength of the United Kingdom is far stronger than that of France. There will be no European Parliament.

In this regard, Jean Monnet is not dissatisfied with the United Kingdom. He feels that the United Kingdom is not really leading Europe towards unity. This suspicion is of course true, but now that the United Kingdom is in the European Community, please God is easy to send God Difficult, Jean Monnet couldn't kick England out, he couldn't do it, and neither could France.

"Britain's so-called opening of the Wumera launch site is just a move to share the cost of operating that launch site. Who knows the relationship between Australia and the UK, and it will not be a matter of London if it wants to exclude us. Canberra will Reject London's orders? Not at all!"

Jean Monnet expressed pessimism, asking Georges Pidour, "What does Charles think?"

"The president is not optimistic either, and feels that this seemingly comprehensive plan has ulterior secrets." George Pidur did not hide it, "We should be careful about any plan proposed by the United Kingdom. No one knows the United Kingdom better than us. The degree of cunning of man."

"We still don't know what the UK thinks about Europe. The UK is now obviously developing by the Commonwealth and the European Community. It has to be said that they see farther than we do, maybe before the independence of British India, or even before the war Before it’s over, we’ve already chosen a place that can support Britain, and we’ve been supporting Malaya for many years, and now there’s a trend of revival.”

Jean Monnet sighed. Today he must admit that Britain's strategic vision is indeed above France.It seems that the situation after the world war had been foreseen, and the layout began directly.

But whether this is a good thing for France is not certain, because Britain has an ambiguous attitude towards the Commonwealth of Nations and the European Community.It's hard to say which one I prefer.

"That's why we have to do our best to preserve Algeria." George Pidour's expression turned serious. "Otherwise, France will be subject to the existence of the United Kingdom for a long time. Only when we become stronger can we offset the United Kingdom in the European Community." influence."

If Algeria was an option for France before, but now that the United Kingdom has stabilized its decline, retaining Algeria is already a must for France.

It is not that it should, but that Algeria must be retained. Only in this way can the foundation of France's great power be preserved.

Alan Wilson still doesn't know that the two French figures are so high on Britain's so-called strategic vision.

Britain has a hairy strategic vision without its own existence. After the end of World War II, it was like losing its soul. If it weren't for me, it should be in the embarrassing situation of being locked out of the European Community by France, and it was almost squeezed out of Europe by Italy economically. The top three, but also strategic vision?

"What are you doing?" Heidi Lamarr pushed the door open and angrily scolded the man who had committed misconduct.

"What are you doing? I finally came here." Alan Wilson looked up from Ingrid Bergman's warm embrace, looking very unhappy. What did he do?Even pro-Europeans?

"It's hard to come here? Just to do this kind of thing?" Heidi Lamarr squinted at the flushed Ingrid Bergman, didn't it mean that there were two extra pieces of meat on her chest?Has such a big attraction?

"He wants to relax and relieve the psychological pressure." Ingrid Bergman was dissatisfied, and asked Heidi Lamarr to take care of the overall situation, and she finally came to stop getting angry.

This trip to France was not considered a success, and Alan Wilson had to admit that not only did he fail to achieve a win-win attempt this time, it was a win-win situation.Fortunately, the two daughters are very obedient, allowing him to experience the warmth of the family.

The de Gaulle government politely rejected the plan for the European Space Agency, saying that there are still some details that need to be carefully considered.

Alan Wilson's job back in London was again to assess why France had refused.And whether there is a possibility of France voting for the Communist Party, "I believe that President de Gaulle would not do this. Aren't the previous mutual visits between the two countries very friendly?"

When de Gaulle visited the UK, Alan Wilson was in Africa, but he also heard about the grand welcome ceremony in the UK, and the welcoming British citizens crowded the Waterloo Bridge.

Chapter 71 Algeria Referendum

Although he didn't see the grand occasion with his own eyes, Alan Wilson can still imagine what kind of scene it was.After all, he is the last man in France, so he has the cards he should have.

"I hope that when I am not in the country, I can ask for my opinion on some matters." At the internal meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Allen Wilson looked solemn, and people dare not look at the places where his eyes pass, and finally decided to do it in person. The dignified atmosphere ended, "Leave the matter in Iceland alone, I don't want to have a next time."

Iceland was banned from fishing by Alan Wilson in the European Community because of maritime delimitation issues.It has been a long time of hard life, losing the market in continental Europe, and Iceland is living in poverty with its dried salted fish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Newfoundland has upgraded a large number of fishing equipment, and used larger and farther fishing boats to bring in greater catches to seize the European market. As for the North American market, Newfoundland has been in the past, and life has been quite good in recent years.

This can be regarded as the benefit created by his former chief executive for Newfoundland, but with the lifting of the ban, Newfoundland fishermen now have to bend over to pick up money again, ending the good days of lying down and making money.

"Notify St. John's that the UK is under political pressure from the US for the lifting of the ban this time." Alan Wilson can only try his best to remedy it now, deftly dumping the blame on the US.

However, Newfoundland's problem should not be too big. In the past Rome Olympics, the Soviet delegation surprised everyone and completed the crushing of the United States. The upset result also made Newfoundland's sports lottery full of money.

Financially, Newfoundland is no problem, and the fishing equipment in Newfoundland has been updated in the past few years, living up to the small troubles of the past. Newfoundland is not the United Kingdom, but there is no reason to give up Iceland. The conflict in the North Atlantic waters In the book, a collision in Newfoundland directly sank an Icelandic fishing boat, killing twenty Icelanders at sea.

Only after this incident did the United States mediate in North Atlantic fishery disputes.If Alan Wilson hadn't been busy dealing with the independence movement and the Six-Party Talks in African colonies this year, he would definitely be dallying with the United States.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything. Alan Wilson skipped this topic and asked Dixon, the chief private secretary of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, "Is there any schedule for the minister, let's discuss it."

Dixon, who finally passed the secret channel, answered, "The minister is going to start the British Guiana independence project. Should we allow a buffer period of five years?"

"According to my previous assessment report, British Guiana is considered worthless. Direct independence without buffer!"

Alan Wilson replied without thinking, and then continued with a sudden pause, "But we still have to pay attention to some details. We have passed the rumors in the market, so it is said that the British intended to return British Guiana to Venezuela. It overcame the pressure of the United States, so it was finally allowed to establish an independent country.”

"There is some persuasiveness in saying that the merger of Malawi has only happened recently."

As for why the United Kingdom did not give Guyana to Venezia in the end, it is of course that under the pressure of the United States, Venezuela cannot be allowed to become stronger. Although Alan Wilson does not know, how strong can Latin American countries be?

The reason for this is due to the dual consideration of the history and reality of British Guiana. In history, Venezuela and Guyana, which now belong to the three countries of Britain, France and the Netherlands, belong to the same place called Spanish Guiana.

This area was originally a Spanish colony, but after repeated struggles by various Western countries in history, it actually belongs to countries and regions such as Venezuela, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, French Guiana, and Brazil.

In Venezuela, the term "Western Guyana" refers specifically to the area on the west bank of the Essequibo River in Guyana.Venezuela has never waived its territorial claims to the area.This is the largest territorial dispute in the world. The disputed area covers an area of ​​16 square kilometers, accounting for more than 60.00% of Guyana's national territory.

Venezuela was still at the end of the nineteenth century, and it was Britain's pressure to ask the United States to invoke the Monroe Doctrine.Of course, before the First World War, the United States was a fart in the eyes of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom gave the United States face and gave Venezuela one-tenth of the disputed area. This matter ends here.

But does Alan Wilson know that later generations of Venezuela are still clinging on, and now he can give Venezuela an excuse.

Then leave Guyana's territorial dispute to the United States to deal with. The Americas belong to the Americans, and the United States should handle it as it should.

Alan Wilson is an orthodox British gentleman. Planting mines before leaving is a necessary skill, and he treats them equally, and he will not look at it differently just because America is now dominated by Americans.

"Just tell the people from MI[-] just like that." Alan Wilson said to Dixon, "I think if the foreign minister is going to Guyana to celebrate independence, he will definitely encounter similar problems. The minister can also be firm. Rebutting it will also help maintain the special relationship between Britain and the United States."

"I see, Executive Deputy Secretary." Dixon nodded, his face full of support for absolute authority.

After becoming the executive deputy minister, Alan Wilson naturally wanted to appoint some diplomats who had similar ideas to himself.Surreptitiously let people with special relations between Britain and the United States stand aside, so that it is easier to reach a consensus when formulating foreign policy.

It's nothing, just like Mountbatten's biggest job in the past few years is to promote the promotion of officers with aristocratic backgrounds. It is all for the long-term stability of Britain. Only the army in the hands of noble officers can be reassuring.

Only when the foreign ministry is filled with objective and neutral diplomats, will Britain not lose its calmness in foreign affairs because of its illusory special relationship.

"Any news from the Australian High Commissioner and the New Zealand High Commissioner?"

"No, Executive Undersecretary." Wick dug out the recent telegrams between the two countries and replied, "Everything is calm."

"We uphold the idea that the European Community and the Commonwealth are equally important. As a boost to the UK's take-off, the results have proved to be good. Before encountering a bottleneck, we adopt a conservative attitude to formulate foreign policy." Alan Wilson made a summary of the meeting , and then said, "The meeting is over!"

Alan Wilson was able to understand the climate that was not very friendly to people at the end of the year, and wanted to go to the warm Caribbean Sea for vacation, which was the work of witnessing Guyana's independence.For this reason, he naturally wants to create favorable conditions.

It happened that I didn't have anything to be particularly concerned about, so I told my wife that I was going to Perth to reunite the couple.

"It's really hard work by nature." In the early morning, Alan Wilson, who was about to lift his trousers and leave, lamented that he had paid too much for the UK.

"You are so busy." Hepburn pulled the quilt to cover her mouth-watering delicate body, and she seemed to mock the man's lack of greed.

"I really don't want to leave you for a day." Alan Wilson turned around and leaned closer, kissing Hepburn's cheek, "But there are indeed many things in Britain, especially in the diplomatic field. I'm sorry. I also want to accompany my Tiffany around, but there is really no way."

"Understood, you are busy with your work." Hepburn sighed quietly, "Take care of yourself and contact me at any time."

This is of course no problem. Even if Hepburn didn’t say so, he would do it. Who can refuse the affection of Ball Flower? Anyway, he can’t do it, and he can’t refuse Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman either. , Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh, etc...

A few days later, Alan Wilson arrived in Perth, Australia's fastest growing city. "Every time I fly, I feel like my body is being hollowed out."

"Just take a break." Pamela Mountbatten comforted her husband knowing that he didn't like airplanes as a means of transportation.

Algiers, the capital of French Algeria and the headquarters of the Foreign Legion, was crowded with people on the first day of [-]. Countless French soldiers with live ammunition took to the streets. The whole of Algiers was in good order. Get out, go to the polls and cast your vote for the fateful future of Algeria.

Whether to become an independent country, or to be part of the glorious France, everything will be clear after today.

Not only Algiers, but citizens of various Algerian cities were also notified to go to polling places.

France had prepared secretly before, and finally chose to hold a referendum on the Algerian issue on this day.

"The referendum in Algeria, which started yesterday, has ended. The Paris authorities announced the results. 50.00% of the eight voted for Algeria to stay in France, and 40.00% of the two demanded independence. The Charles de Gaulle government has recognized the validity of the referendum and respected the local people s Choice."

"However, some countries in the Soviet bloc questioned the result of this referendum, believing that the Paris authorities manipulated the referendum. The countries that expressed protest against the result of the referendum include the Soviet Union, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Asia..."

Listening to the news broadcast by the Australian host on the TV, Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband who was absorbed in it.

"What to do? If you want to ask, just ask." Sensing his wife's gaze, Alan Wilson said with a smile.

"Italy? How do you stand with a group of socialist countries?" Pamela Mountbatten shook her head and said, "It's too magical."

"Just look at the location of Italy. Italy also wants to build its own Mediterranean economic circle." Alan Wilson curled his lips. "It's all for its own country. There is nothing worth mentioning. The strength of the Italian Communist Party is also a reason."

"I didn't expect that the Algerian referendum still tends to stay in France? It's quite unexpected." Pamela Mountbatten was a little puzzled. "After so many years of fighting, the French still have this kind of support."

"Who knows, are those people Algerians? French immigrants from all over French Africa have been gathered in Algeria. As for the real Algerians, they might not even know about this referendum." It's getting more and more interesting."

Chapter 72 Britain is not under pressure

As early as when Cameroon became independent, Alan Wilson discovered that the French immigrants in Cameroon did not return to their native land, but went to Algeria. He was suspicious at that time.

Most people in Africa may not understand this place. Although the European colonial countries penetrated into the interior of Africa late due to environmental factors, they did use national power to vacate cages and change birds. It was not spontaneous when they immigrated to America and Australia before the [-]th century. Immigrants are different from exiled criminals.

Africa was partitioned late, but the number of immigrants rose extremely fast, far exceeding the European immigration to the Americas at the beginning of the colonial era. Algeria has a community of millions of French immigrants, which is one of the most typical examples.

French Africa covers half of Africa, and each of them has a certain number of immigrants. The number of these immigrants may be more than that of British immigrants in British Africa. We must know that the natural conditions of French Africa are far worse than those of British Africa. It can be seen that immigration in France.

Now French Africa has become independent for more than a dozen countries in one year. If all the immigrants from the former colonies were concentrated in Algeria, it would be a great force.Doing a little bit more from the Algerians, such as not notifying the referendum, can lead to such a result.

"The French still have a way." Hearing her husband's explanation, Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help but marvel. "The French immigrants in the entire French Africa plus the French immigrants that already existed in Algeria are indeed quite powerful forces."

"If you lock up a group of Algerians again, with such a ratio of six to four, you can say that the French are honest." Alan Wilson shrugged, "If it were me, I would dare to support or not be independent [-]%. "

"It's a pity that we don't have a group we can rely on in Malaya." Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried. She had put a lot of property in Malaya, and she was afraid that something would happen there.

"Don't worry about Malaya." Allen Wilson comforted his wife confidently. "I served two terms in Malaya. It is true that I adopted a soft attitude, but that was only on the surface. As a group of Chinese, even the textbooks were edited by me. , although it is basically the same as China, but the subtleties are still different.”

To use an analogy, Genghis Khan was neither Chinese nor Chinese. When William II preached the theory of the Yellow Peril, he was definitely not talking about the Mongolian herders grazing on the grasslands, but China back then.

Regardless of the fact that the Japanese were not the birthplace of China during the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, the Japanese were never confused when talking about the Yuan Dynasty’s two attacks on Japan.

If you don't hit yourself with a slap in the face, you can make sarcastic remarks. If your own interests are involved, the facts are not important, and the position is the most important.

As long as Malaya can be maintained until the 70s and the gap with its neighbors is completely widened, Alan Wilson believes that the chances of Malaya's independence will be greatly reduced, and even the new generation of Malaya subjects will have a certain loyalty to the United Kingdom. improve.

At that time, even if someone instigates it, it will be useless. Your monthly salary is [-], and my monthly salary is [-], and then we will get rich together?

He has survived for 15 years now, about ten years, so he doesn’t have to worry about Malaya in the future, “You can be your Queen of Sarawak with peace of mind. If you feel unfamiliar, you will always live in Perth, anyway. For a citizen of the world like you, none of that is a problem."

"Citizen of the world?" Pamela Mountbatten was curious. She seemed to be learning new words again.

"Which country do you want to immigrate to, I think that country will welcome it. National borders don't exist for you." Allen Wilson said, "Isn't this a citizen of the world? Although you are still young, you should do more research. Biotechnology is the big deal, and for the citizens of the world, there is no other pursuit but immortality."

"That's right, my dear." Pamela Mountbatten was persuaded once again, her husband was always so reasonable.
