British civil servant

"Hungry!" Allen Wilson spat for a long time, looking at his wife eagerly, his face was full of rich women, rice...

After the meal, the head of the family holds the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and digests the food. If the world is also the Three Kingdoms, the United States is the most powerful Wei, so what is the role of the United Kingdom?Great Wei Wu Wang Sun one hundred thousand?Want nothing but fooling around?

Maybe some British citizens are really tired and want to destroy it!

But these people do not include him. Although Alan Wilson served in the UK, his nationality cannot be changed.But he has received a proper education in mainland countries. If he really wants to choose a country from Europe, he is more inclined to resonate with the French.

Pamela Mountbatten also felt helpless when she saw her husband's lazy appearance, and suggested, "Why don't you go out for a walk, the USS Perth aircraft carrier is docking at the port, and go for a walk?"

"Good idea!" Alan Wilson nodded. The USS Perth aircraft carrier is a buy-one-get-one-free Brilliant-class aircraft carrier.

In this batch of construction sequences in the United Kingdom, the new aircraft carrier has been designated as the Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier by default, including one in Australia, which has been named Canberra.

Australia previously had two British aircraft carriers, HMS Sydney and HMS Melbourne.In this way, the top three cities in eastern Australia have already been named after aircraft carriers, and the Brilliant class that buys one gets one free becomes the USS Perth when it arrives in Australia.

In fact, the government of Western Australia tried its best to get the name of the heavy aircraft carrier at the beginning. Canberra and Perth also fought for a while. In the end, Canberra still got the name from its status of strength... the capital.

The current Royal Australian Navy has four British-made aircraft carriers in service at the same time. It is a proper maritime power, and its strength ranks behind the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and France, and the South Wave Bay in the southern hemisphere.

The two strolled in the courtyard, enjoying the sea breeze of the southern Indian Ocean, and had a panoramic view of the skyline of Perth City by the sea.

What TASS, Agence France-Presse, Associated Press, and Reuters reported on the Algerian referendum, no matter what they do, it is nothing but the internal affairs of the French on the other side of the world.

As for the attitude of a certain big country, strictly speaking, no one cares at all, until India is not ashamed.In a certain big country, there are no remarks that attract attention, and no one cares about what they like to say.

It is as if there is no such country in this world. Some people repost what New Delhi wants to express, and that is just reposting. India has the right to express opinions, but that is where it ends.

Allen Wilson, who was watching the sea view from the Glorious-class aircraft carrier, held a newspaper in his hand, which published India's statement on the Algeria referendum, which was very five principles.

"The importance of the right to speak is evident!" Alan Wilson remembered that no one in the later generations would have thought of India's role in the Five Principles. Compared with India's status in the world at this time, it was indeed filled with emotion.

Pamela Mountbatten was not dissatisfied with her husband's incomprehension, so she could only accommodate, "Is India's statement important?"

"Actually, it's not that important." Alan Wilson put the newspaper in his pocket and continued pretending to be an environmentalist, "But after all, it is a country with a demographic dividend, so what you say is worth listening to."

"Demographic dividend? What's the use? The poor can't even afford to wear trousers." Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips. It's not that she has never stayed in India, and she has a good understanding of this famous and colorful country.

"You don't understand this. The demographic dividend exists objectively, let's not recall the history. Think about the students of the Indian Institute of Technology, they are all high-achieving students who competed among hundreds of millions of people." Alan Wilson disagreed with his wife's domineering On the one hand, "Think about these high-achieving students who go to Malaya to screw screws, and ordinary university graduates go to Malaya to wash dishes. Isn't it good?"

"Turning screws? Cleaning dishes? You can think of it." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand and pulled her husband's ear, "It's too bad for you to let Nehru know that you think of them that way." Talent, I have the heart to kill you."

"This is the truth! There is absolutely no prejudice. Isn't that what the so-called demographic dividend country is like." Alan Wilson replied sincerely, you can't hire a hard-working migrant worker with 3000 yuan, but you can hire a college student.

Britain and even Malaya need these talented Indian students to do low-level jobs, just like the Middle East emirates need servants from South Asia, not to mention belittling or other things, as it is.

Otherwise, why did the Federal Republic of Germany issue visas to Iranian workers?Isn't it because the wages are low and German citizens are unwilling to do it?

He accompanied his wife and children in Australia, blowing the warm sea breeze from the Indian Ocean. At the same time, Macmillan was also enjoying the sunny beach, but in the Americas, in the name of the Foreign Secretary, he warmly celebrated British Guiana as an independent country from now on.

British Guiana also became the first independent country among the three colonies. At the same time, Macmillan also refuted some remarks, such as a neighboring country’s claim that the main ethnic group in Guyana was not American. It is an era of reconciliation, and one-sided racial thinking is not advisable. We live on the same planet, and we cannot look at problems with hatred. It's a complete lie. The UK is not under pressure from any country."

McMillan pointed to the Caribbean Sea and swore that there was absolutely no pressure from the United States.

After finishing his trip to Guyana, McMillan rushed directly to Washington, because January [-] was the day Kennedy took over as president. McMillan had communicated with Kennedy and would attend the presidential inauguration ceremony.

McMillan is also preparing to exchange views with Kennedy on the Algeria referendum to jointly deal with a series of incidents that have resulted, in order to prove that the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is unbreakable.

Chapter 73 United France

I just told Venezuela in Guyana that the UK will not be pressured by any country, and then turned around and went to Washington. What does Venezuela think of this?Therefore, the special relationship between Britain and the United States depends on how it is used.

Off the coast of Perth, Alan Wilson stood on the deck of a large yacht named after his daughter, experiencing what a 260-foot large yacht feels like. After a moment of meditation, he didn’t feel much. He didn’t know that a Comet airliner costs three-quarters of the cost Where is the yacht more outstanding?

But this is an entertainment project between mother and daughter. Naturally, Alan Wilson is not good at saying anything. Today, he just borrowed his daughter's toys to receive some friends in Malaya, caring about the simple and boring life of justices of the peace.

"Executive Undersecretary!" Richard came up from the cabin with a feeling of amazement in his mouth.

"Richard!" Alan Wilson turned around and greeted enthusiastically, "I'm sorry to call you here just after New Year's Day, but it's been a long time since I saw you, and I miss my colleagues. Some industrial policies are also thanks to your help Look after."

"Executive deputy chief is too polite, we all contribute to the bright lighthouse of Asia." Richard hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "If it weren't for you...and High Commissioner Gerald to lay a good foundation, my job would be difficult. "

"Each term has tasks for each term. It is your credit and it is yours." Alan Wilson changed the subject and said to himself, "Of course the lighthouse needs to be bright enough, but the biggest effect It is to provide a guiding light in the dark night, the darker the place, the more the lighthouse is needed, and I think the surrounding area is not dark enough."

Although black under the lights is not a profound theory, Alan Wilson believes that the current high commissioner understands what it means.

If what he said was a bit vulgar, Alan Wilson can apologize and use the siphon effect to package his thoughts.

Anyway, the darker the surrounding area of ​​the Asian lighthouse, the better, otherwise the lighthouse will not look so bright. "Blood is thicker than water by making good use of Chinese from various countries. The combined area of ​​these places is much larger than that of British India."

"I'm a little worried about things in Myanmar..." Richard was a little worried and expressed his concern to his immediate superior.

"It has nothing to do with us. Given France's experience in the Vietnam battlefield, British military forces will never go deep into the mountains and forests to fight. It is said that the invitation from the Yangon government has nothing to do with us." Alan Wilson said that it has nothing to do with himself, "If Mr. Chang is unwilling, let him go to Washington for begging."

At the end of the 1960s that just passed, because of the problem of the remnants of the artillery party in northern Myanmar, after being greatly disappointed with the performance of the Indian army, Myanmar invited neighboring countries to suppress bandits.

Alan Wilson remembers that this is a small test, and this year is the official military operation. "I have kept in touch with General Aung San. Britain is willing to provide a batch of weapons to arm the Burmese army. But traditionally, British military power focuses on the sea. The relationship is unclear, and we cannot use the strategic air force to cooperate with Myanmar in operations. I hope General Aung San can understand. But the UK firmly supports the protection of Myanmar's sovereignty and integrity, so this answer is fine."

"Don't be too nervous. I heard that there is a movie script to be filmed. You need to stop the communication with the governor?" Alan Wilson tried to make Richard relax. "Is it Zheng Chenggong's movie? Why did you hear it? Want to ban it? On the surface, it is attacking the Netherlands, but secretly it is reflecting us?"

"I'm worried about this. When you left office, you asked me to pay attention to this issue." Richard nodded. "It would be terrible if it had the same effect as the last lesson in France."

"The method is too direct. We support the shooting of the movie." Alan Wilson thought for a while and gave the answer.

"What?" Richard was puzzled, he didn't understand why Alan Wilson would say that.

"One-sided prevention will lead to misunderstandings. I mean to shoot according to historical facts. The big battle can't be left behind. I know Xiangjiang's method of saving costs in filming movies. Twenty extras dare to play thousands of troops. I hope the movie is not 5000 people are against [-] Dutch defenders, but actors must be found according to this ratio. If it is not enough, we are willing to communicate with the Dutch in Kalimantan."

Alan Wilson thought and said, "The battle of the bastion should be preserved. I hope the film can reflect the plight of the Dutch defenders who are out of ammunition and food, and at the same time reflect the tragic casualties of the bastion. It should be reflected according to the casualty ratio of historical facts. If it can be done With the above points, I can help matchmaking and let the Dutch help.”

Big scenes are needed. Xiangjiang movies are very small, and Alan Wilson does not appreciate them. Out of respect for history and reflection on wars, it is reasonable to shoot according to historical facts and not exaggerate either side.

"Then I guess no one will shoot, and the cost will be higher than the budget of any film company." Richard said with a taught look, "We didn't stop it, but we achieved the goal of stopping it."

"Don't be too complacent. The United States is filming Cleopatra. I heard that the investment is quite large." Allen Wilson said with a smile. The Soviet Union also invested more than the world record at the time in filming War and Peace. "I never stopped the meaning of."

As we all know, Alan Wilson is a follower of the Romans, and he even worshiped Guan Gong when he was a high commissioner.

Although the yacht is 80 meters long and has a displacement of more than 500 tons, it can only accommodate 20 people normally. The two of them watched the direction of the tarmac from the outdoor bar, waiting for the helicopter to bring the justices of peace over.

I missed it for a long time, and Alan Wilson embraced the justices of the peace who he personally supported, welcoming them to Perth.

"Lord Zhongtang, this yacht is really beautiful." Gu Ke couldn't help admiring the large and luxurious yacht.

"With your price, it's not that you can't afford it." Alan Wilson did not forget to correct Coca's statement, "How can I, a civil servant, afford this kind of high-society stuff? My wife bought it. If you like it , she can help order."

With these remarks, other people also smiled, everyone's company has shares belonging to Alan Wilson to varying degrees.

Like Richard, many people also expressed concern about the situation in Myanmar. Alan Wilson reassured him, "Northern Myanmar is still far away from where your industry is located. The war will not spread to southern Myanmar. And I believe that Aung San General, there is ample flexibility to deal with the situation at hand."

General Aung San is a person who voted for Japan. His biggest position is that he has no position and will not fall out with any power. If he dares to fall out with you, there is only one reason, you are not a power.

"How could I see your interests being damaged? You forgot that I was responsible for your son's murder." Alan Wilson looked at Coca, and then said to himself, "Some things about you in the early years can be done. It has fully proved my reliability, let alone now, my good is your good, if I can go one step further, you can rest easy."

"We are waiting for Lord Zhongtang to make further progress." Gu Ke raised his glass, and Su Yang and others wished together.

"Isn't there any blessing like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan's congratulatory speech?" Alan Wilson smiled happily, and drank the wine, "I know a little bit about your contacts with people of the same race in neighboring countries, as long as it doesn't involve politics. , can play freely. I don’t want to have any contact with the island where Mr. Chang is located, that is not in the interests of the UK at present. The British Empire and the United States are still different, and we still have to do business.”

"My intricate network." At night, Alan Wilson returned to his home in the Mountbatten Building, humming drunkenly, "Help order a few yachts, and there are a few justices of the peace who want to buy them."

"You really brought them up." Pamela Mountbatten teased my husband after listening to them wiping with a towel.

"Then, my existence is to serve all mankind. If there are more people like me in the world, the universal value has long been realized."

During the period at the beginning of the year, France was undoubtedly on the cusp. The results of the Algerian referendum were widely questioned. The most important doubts came from Washington, the newly inaugurated US President Kennedy, and Macmillan, who has an American mother.

Macmillan has been regarded as the softest voice among the widespread doubts, and the tone of many countries talking about fraud, the foreign secretary can at best say some strange words.

But as long as there is an ostrich mentality, any objection can be turned a deaf ear. The Paris government categorically stated the authenticity of the referendum, and the Seine River can witness the integrity of France.

And France's internal propaganda is agitating domestic citizens to believe that both enemies and suspicious allies are exerting pressure, trying to split the integrity of France, and forever keep France in a second-rate subordinate position.To weaken France's national power in this way is not allowed by France.

At the end of January, when Allen Wilson returned to China via Paris, it was the second referendum in France. 70.00% of the French people approved the validity of the referendum in Algeria. Algeria is a natural extension of France to the south and an inseparable part.

French citizens waving the French national flag sang the Marseillaise, resolutely supporting the Charles de Gaulle government's actions to safeguard national sovereignty.

The patriotism on everyone's face was palpable, and at the same time, they expressed resentment at other countries' gossip about France's internal affairs. All forces in France were united, revolutionaries and royalists alike, and today they are all French.

"It has been a part since ancient times." Alan Wilson held a newspaper he bought casually, thinking that the French are still straightforward and should absorb the advanced experience of different cultures, so he couldn't help but sigh, "France lacks nothing but me. A specialist in Orientalism."

Alan Wilson believes that the Algerian problem will stop here and there will be no major changes.Both referendums are over, both are the results that France wants, and there will be no changes.

Chapter 74 The Threat of the Shipbuilding Industry

Only three days later, Alan Wilson saw the latest French solution on the TV of Woodpecker Films, and then overturned his own judgment three days ago, and gently spit out a word, "Shameless..."

A solution to the Algerian problem was broadcast on TV. Simply put, since 40.00% of the people want independence, Paris is considering a north-south partition plan, aiming to solve the problem without leaving future troubles and achieve a win-win situation the result of.

It seems to be no problem, but it is suspected of plagiarizing the British policy on colonies, but this is not the reason why he scolded the French for being shameless, there are other reasons.

"What's the matter?" Ingrid Bergman put on her coat and sat next to the man and asked, "Isn't it possible to talk? The French can give the locals a way out when the public opinion is overwhelming. In my opinion The understanding of France is really good.”

"Ingrid, haven't you been to Africa? Have you seen the situation along the way?" Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and grabbed Ingrid Bergman's hand and asked.

"I have the habit of falling asleep on the plane." Ingrid Bergman was a little embarrassed, but still didn't know the meaning of this question.

It is indeed too much to expect a female star to have knowledge of geography, and it is considered that ordinary French people have this level of knowledge.

"North and South? France wants the coast and gives the interior to the Algerians?" Alan Wilson explained with a sneer, "The Sahara Desert is south of the Taylor Atlas Mountains, and the desert area occupies 80.00% of the entire Algeria. Five, if France cutting off this part to the Algerians would be the greatest human tragedy in history."

If the division of the North and the South were to be divided in this way, let’s call this landlocked country Algeria for the time being. The living conditions of this Algeria will instantly leave Chad and Niger behind. Chad has Lake Chad, and Niger has the water source of the upper reaches of the Niger River.

This Algeria really has nothing but yellow sand, and there are no perennial rivers, only some seasonal rivers.

France has created several countries that are destined to be tragic in the demarcation of independent countries in French Africa.

If Algeria is so independent, Mali and Chad are nothing to worry about, and Algeria is the biggest tragedy.

Only then did Ingrid Bergman know the key point, "Will the French support it?"

"If the French are at your level of geography, they won't support it. Maybe they think that France has suffered a disadvantage. Similarly, the Algerians will not support them. They are locals, and of course they know that the place left by France is for them. A death place."

As soon as the words fell, Ingrid Bergman pinched the man's weakness, "I have been with you for so many years, and I have done my best. Is that what you call me?"

"I was wrong, but you should consider whether the war will affect the mainland of France and see if there is any business to do." Hearing this plan, Alan Wilson can basically confirm that the partition of the North and the South is a waste case.

If Algerians are not satisfied with the result of the referendum, they will also not accept this dead-end solution.Then the military operations should not be stopped yet.

This so-called north-south partition is a big internal propaganda of the Charles de Gaulle government, and it has already done it to express its sincerity to French citizens.If the Algerians objected, the responsibility for continuing the war was not on France's side.

The wishful thinking was sound, and the French took all the benefits, and they also shifted the responsibility for the war to the colonies.

"How do I feel? You don't seem to be worried." Ingrid Bergman murmured in a low voice. Alan Wilson didn't take such a tragedy seriously at all.

"Because it has nothing to do with Britain." Alan Wilson said lightly, this happened frequently in the history of his homeland in his previous life.There is no exception in every dynasty change, until no one dares to continue to fight for the world.

Of course, the consequences are borne by ordinary people, and it has even become a stalk. The 890 million households in the Sui Dynasty proved that Li Shimin’s level was not enough.Shouldn't this blame Yang Guang for causing chaos in the world?

But the magic is that Yang Guang has a very good reputation in the online world, and he is often brought out to overwhelm Li Shimin, the emperor's benchmark.

It has been judged as a big internal propaganda of France's internal propaganda, and Alan Wilson has judged that the result of Algeria has to wait. He can't wait for the result in Paris, and he will continue to talk about it. After all, he didn't have the time, and he had to go back to London to resume his job.

McMillan, who presided over the independence of Guyana and made a trip to Washington, has returned to London. He can't stay abroad forever. Who will watch if he doesn't go back... to assist the minister to benefit the people?

Returning to London this time, Alan Wilson wants to inspect the current status of the shipbuilding industry in the former world's largest shipbuilding country through the Ministry of the Interior. This will be because Japan has just released the year-end report of the Japanese shipbuilding industry.

In the past year, the Japanese shipbuilding industry surpassed the United Kingdom and became the world's largest shipbuilding country.

Alan Wilson, who got the news, had to take a good look at this opponent.

Alan Wilson, who went around Asia, remembered what Makins said about the decline in the profits of the British shipbuilding industry. This time he came back to find out the bottom line.

"The shipbuilding industry is Britain's dominant industry. The ships launched in [-] still accounted for half of the world's ships." Alan Wilson didn't want to talk about it, but the decline of the public shipbuilding industry would increase the cost of military shipbuilding. He didn't want to talk about it. It doesn't work either.

Markins, who was called in, had to bear the cynicism of his old friend, and wondered how Alan Wilson could still learn Japanese, slurring his words.

"It can't be helped, Japan's human cost is the bottom." Makins couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Britain still competes with Germany on the European side, but Japan's momentum is now stronger than Germany's."

"What's the labor cost? We're not a place where there's no labor cost." Alan Wilson pinched his waist with both hands, tilted his neck and asked Makins, "What is the average profit of the shipbuilding industry now."

"It's less than [-]%. Otherwise, what I said years ago, is there a problem in the shipbuilding industry?" Makins sighed, "We are also thinking of a solution to the problem."

"Don't hold back the Royal Navy's military spending, there is a solution." Alan Wilson muttered eccentrically, "Ten percent is higher than I thought. It's not particularly bad, but we should think of a way." .”

He was right, at least it is much more profitable than the world shipbuilding industry in the 21st century. To be honest, the shipbuilding industry in the 21st century is a pattern of competition between China, Japan and South Korea. Under this pattern, it is natural that there is no profit.

When the world economy was booming, the shipbuilding industry of the three countries had no profit, and the world economy was a little turbulent. In those years, they basically lost money, and a loss of several hundred million a year was regarded as a political achievement.

Naturally, there is still a [-]% profit, which Alan Wilson still thinks is quite high. After decades of losing money, it is of course high.

After selecting several public and private shipyards, Alan Wilson followed Maggins to find out. The Ministry of the Interior manages quite complicated things, so Makins is quite respectable among the three major ministries.

A few hours later, the two walked out of the shipyard. Allen Wilson was still chattering, "Once the shipbuilding industry declines, military shipbuilding will also be affected. It is worth using all means to make Japan feel difficult."

"You want to bring Malaya's old warships to Japan?" Makins raised his eyebrows. The old colleague doesn't want gunboat diplomacy, does he?
