British civil servant

At that time, Alan Wilson will also support Nehru at the diplomatic level, so that Nehru can persist, and reinforcements will come soon.

"Sir Wilson, for the sake of the Commonwealth, give brother a hand..."

"Prime Minister Nehru, please hold on for the last 5 minutes, the Royal Navy is approaching you at a speed of [-] knots."

In a short period of time, Alan Wilson has already imagined the scene of the sublimation of my British during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Although it did not catch up with the war in the end, it can be used as a good onlooker.

As for Nehru's inability to hold on, that's Indian cuisine, which has nothing to do with me, Daying.

Makins naturally didn't know that Alan Wilson had so many inner dramas, and was still sighing, "It seems that the development of India's strength has made India full of confidence now."

"When did they not have self-confidence?" Alan Wilson said in the tone of someone who had experienced it when Makins said this, "The biggest thing I know about Indians is that Indians have almost stupid self-confidence. In fact, they have What is commendable? The time when India had the most international status for thousands of years was when it was British India. The Indians are like the zero they invented, they are really a zero..."

"Perhaps the burden of history is too heavy? Ancient civilizations have some problems. By the way, you also know something about bamboo curtains. How do you feel compared with India?" Makins asked the orientalist expert.

"If we can turn a place into a colony, we will do it directly. If we can't do it, then we really can't do it. Of course, I'm not saying that they have no problems. In fact, for 600 years, in some fields they have indeed There's a big detour."

Allen Wilson refers to the field of mathematics. In the 21st century, the Song, Yuan and Ming and Qing Dynasties are generally discussed together. At least in the field of mathematics, it makes sense. Also disappeared from the classics.

"When the interns from Malaya arrive in the UK, I still have to meet them." Without thinking too much about the conversation just now, Alan Wilson changed the subject.

"You know them." Maggins nodded. "It is most appropriate for you to meet the interns of these colonies."

"That's natural! I wrote all the English-Chinese dictionaries in the UK myself." Alan Wilson said with a straight face, "Mr. Churchill's manuscript fees may not be as much as mine in the future."

Even now, with the income from the unsolved mysteries of the world, which are very popular in various countries, Alan Wilson no longer puts the Nobel Prize winner Churchill in his eyes.

"What's the use of that?" Markins frowned slightly, English-Chinese dictionary?Who can sell it to?

"Why is it useless? You don't understand, I don't want to explain to you." Alan Wilson waved his hand. Don't think that translation is useless. If you are a Chinese, Rolls-Royce and Rolls-Royce are definitely not acceptable.

Take Marilyn Monroe as an example. Monroe is actually a feminine translation of Monroe. Translating to Marilyn Monroe will add a sense of alienation out of thin air.So a good English-Chinese dictionary can help Britain save huge hidden costs.

It is also a car, Land Rover sounds very domineering, and Luo Fu sounds nothing special.Besides, writing a book is something to be proud of, and it can also increase my academic color, and maybe I can get an extra salary when I retire.

The new immigration law in the House of Commons has been overwhelmingly passed, and the heartache of British Kenyan Indian belonging that has lasted for several years has now disappeared with the tightening of immigration laws.

Alan Wilson was in a good mood. He strolled into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, and bumped into Wick, the chief private secretary who came out head-on, "Wick, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Executive Undersecretary." Wick nodded immediately, holding a telegram, "News from Paris, the Charles de Gaulle government has announced a nationwide mobilization to completely resolve the Algerian issue. Anyone who refuses to perform military service will be regarded as a traitor .”

Chapter 91 Only One Chance

"Is this? An executive order or a referendum?" Alan Wilson paused slightly and asked deeply.

"It's an administrative order, and all the major French newspapers are talking about it." Wick explained behind his immediate boss.

"The key is what Agence France-Presse said." Allen Wilson said as he walked, "That is, the policy has not yet been officially introduced. What did the minister say, and what about the left-wing parties in France? No objection?"

In fact, Alan Wilson also knows that any opposition will not change the overall situation. He has made it clear that boycotting the conscription order is used for treason. If the French Communist Party dares to make trouble at this time, it is estimated that it will be cleaned up reasonably and legally.

However, this is also a good opportunity to mediate, of course, this is for Macmillan, not for him.This kind of major matter is no longer something that he, the executive deputy minister, can come forward to solve. Macmillan and even Prime Minister Eden must come forward.

Alan Wilson can solve some unimportant matters, but he cannot really appear in major international affairs instead of the foreign minister. Obviously, what happened in France this time is a major international affair. Who dares to say that a country will carry out general mobilization? Is it a big deal?

Based on Alan Wilson's understanding of the current government and even the previous government, whether it is useful or not, he will try to prevent France from launching the French general mobilization law. After all, France launched the national mobilization to solve a colonial problem, which will make the free world The universal value is not so shining.

However, Alan Wilson hopes that Britain's dissuasion will not be successful. For Britain, a strong France can help it share a lot of pressure, and it is still voluntary by France. If Britain has any reason to dissuade, it is doomed to fail.

France under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle is definitely not a country that the United Kingdom will obey when it opens its mouth to mediate. What people pursue is independence, especially not living under the United Kingdom.

"The prime minister still hopes that France can calm down and not take actions with far-reaching consequences." McMillan has been in a low mood recently, but he is still determined to implement the diplomatic strategy. It is indeed implemented. The current British diplomatic strategy is formulated by the prime minister himself. of.

"We will do our best." Although he felt that there was a high probability that there would be no results, Alan Wilson still expressed his willingness to accept it, especially in front of McMillan.

Alan Wilson had a tendency to sit on the sidelines, but energy and initiative were the main aspects of his personality.Just now, while he was thinking about the impact of what France did, he hadn't thought carefully about how he would deal with it should any accident happen.

And it's not boldness, it's not calmness, it's not overconfidence in your ability to act decisively when things happen.At worst, it's an inertia, an unwillingness to let the only benefit of being a bystander slip away when things happen.

Now that Macmillan has shown his willingness to visit France, he is naturally willing to accompany him instead of going to India.

Deep down in his heart, he was naturally a little surprised. France's move would really have a profound impact, especially at this point in time.

Of course, he quickly thought of another thing. If France is going to go to war with open flames, can Britain do something for its own interests by taking advantage of France's willingness to stand in front of it?

Without further ado, even as a rehearsal of the Cuban Missile Crisis and Britain's diplomatic mediation, Alan Wilson followed Macmillan to Paris, just taking care of both public and private affairs. Long time no see, I miss him very much.

At this time, Paris is very calm and restless, or there is restlessness hidden under the calm.This is not contradictory, and it is very consistent with the historical tradition of France, either the royalist party or the revolutionary party.

When Macmillan arrived in Paris, he immediately did some networking and made serious preparations to talk to de Gaulle.

Alan Wilson, who decided in his heart that this time the diplomacy had failed early, naturally gave encouragement to the minister, and then went to work on his own affairs.

The wine exuded a pleasant aroma, and the taste was good, not inferior to the best wine, and the mangoes were among the fruits, very ripe.It was such a joy to eat this fruit after such a long journey.Allen Wilson ate and drank with relish.

Mangoes are certainly worth tasting carefully, but he is more interested in the mountain above the valley.This is a dazzling, exciting mountain.Staring at the mountain peak, he couldn't help being fascinated. His heart was already climbing the mountain, and he chose the path to climb along the mountain honors and passes in meditation.

Ingrid Bergman couldn't turn a blind eye to the gradually presumptuous expression. He fastened his skirt and hid his stalwart chest, "You always look serious."

"Ingrid, you misunderstood." Alan Wilson looked like a gentleman, what about the trust between people?He is obviously a gentleman, but Ingrid Bergman treats him as a villain to defend?This is an insult to his character.

"Oh, yes." Ingrid Bergman's absent-minded response was as perfunctory as it could be.

"If that's the case, I won't come next time." Alan Wilson's face turned from cloudy to cloudy. He didn't feel respected here, and he didn't enjoy the treatment of the head of the family at all. It's really unreasonable.

The fastened skirt was loosened again. Sometimes a man would be regarded as weak if he didn't show a little tough style. Alan Wilson, who buried his head in the arms of the Nordic Queen, finally felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.

He is running around for the country, and a woman should provide superior logistical support, so that he can be worthy of his efforts.Even if Ingrid Bergman and Heidi Lamarr are not British, they should be considerate of him.

While Macmillan was performing his duties as foreign secretary, he was trying to dissuade de Gaulle from a potentially far-reaching move.

At the headquarters of Woodpecker Films, Alan Wilson is also discussing the current international situation with Grace. Historically, the Independence Army in Katanga Province persisted for two or three years before it was finally defeated.

But now it is obvious that it cannot last for such a long time, and the military advisers of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have been devolved to the battalion level.Although the two countries have no combat experience in the tropical rainforest, it may be better to send the Vietnamese over, but it is not comparable to the resistance of the local warlords in Tshombe. Now they still insist that it is nothing more than the free world is still providing military assistance, and the area of ​​the Congo Big indeed, the Soviets were not used to factors such as jungle warfare.

In the Angolan war more than ten years later, the South African army was troubled by living in tropical Cuba. This treatment has not yet come to the Congo war.

Soviet military advisers have a long history. In the long-term practical work, Soviet military advisers have formed basic rules of conduct.That is to actively cooperate with foreign commanders, and on the basis of fully considering various local conditions, help the assisted country to establish a basic military system.Therefore, Soviet military advisers are also quite respected by the locals.

"Based on what I know about the French, especially the current Charles de Gaulle government." Alan Wilson said unhurriedly, "This time the diplomacy should be fruitless, but it's not the case for you. On the contrary It may be a good opportunity, although it is not [-]% sure, but the opportunity to solve the salient problem has come."

"We have been waiting for this opportunity." Grace nodded solemnly, indicating that he has been paying attention to the progress of the Congolese civil war for more than half a year. Naturally, he is also disturbed by the gradual decline of the Katanga Independence Army. "Sir thinks, France going to war to cover our operation?"

"That's natural!" Alan Wilson nodded solemnly, "Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to handle things well. If you have problems, no one can handle things for you. Destiny is in your own hands Yes. I don’t want to say more about restraining my greed, I hope everything goes well.”

Britain is not France, and it cannot split an independent country with open flames in the current international environment.France has disintegrated French Africa and is desperately betting on Algeria.There are still many colonies in the United Kingdom that have not yet become independent.

If you end up in person, it may plunge British Africa into turmoil, which is not a good deal for the budget-conscious Britain.

Therefore, Grace can only count on the strength of Northern Rhodesia itself. The United Kingdom can provide some military support, but it will never send troops openly.

Gross thought for a while, and nodded in approval. With France taking action in northern Africa, the matter in Northern Rhodesia is indeed not noticeable. "It is indeed the case. It seems to be a good opportunity."

"Of course, am I going to lie to you? I always do my best to my recognized friends." Alan Wilson looked solemn, and then changed the subject, "You can't even kill a past president."

Alan Wilson still didn't forget about Syngman Lee, but he let go of his words in front of his sister-in-law. If he couldn't do it, he might leave an unreliable impression, which would not help the intimacy with the royal family.

"Even if he hides inside and can't come out, I'll send someone to blow up his house." Grace was forced to do nothing, saying that he must get things done as soon as possible.

"Then there is no problem. If the situation in Katanga does not deteriorate to a certain extent. If there is time, we still have to wait for France to officially issue a general mobilization order. It can be used as a cover. Of course, it is in this interest."

"We share Katanga's mineral interests with the Mountbatten Group." Grace understood immediately and immediately made a promise.

This is no problem, Alan Wilson was very happy, proposed to find a place to have a drink, and asked Grace if he was interested in relaxing. Paris is the capital of romance, and there is no shortage of exciting encounters.

When he saw Macmillan again, the Foreign Secretary frowned. Obviously, this wave of communication was not smooth.The communication on Alan Wilson's side was quite smooth, and now we are waiting for the French to make a move, and Northern Rhodesia will naturally follow suit.

There is only one chance, and it is worth cherishing.

Chapter 92 Traveling Lightly

Alan Wilson believes that it is extremely difficult for modern society to change the general trend of history. In fact, he has not brought much change. France's big fight this time can be said to be a landmark event.

Not only is Foreign Secretary Macmillan working hard for it, but US Secretary of State Dean Rusk has also implicitly criticized France, believing that France's tough move to maintain Algeria's rule has discredited the free world.

Of course, Alan Wilson disagrees with this statement, because the British colonies are not independent and clean, and every time the Americans express their stance on the colonial issue, they are suspected of criticizing and scolding.

"Change, change." Alan Wilson has come and settled down. This is like another problem. Everyone knows that money is a good thing, and everyone wants to have it, but some people have it and others don't.

He watched McMillan's efforts with a relaxed mind in Paris, and took the opportunity to visit the schools of his two daughters, who are very cute and very popular.The reason for its popularity naturally inherits the powerful genes of Ingrid Bergman.

After looking at the two daughters from a distance for a while, Alan Wilson turned and left, because McMillan's mediation had failed, and the two would return to London to discuss the next step.

"Why don't we threaten de Gaulle with a nuclear bomb?" Seeing the foreign minister's frowning and obviously not beautiful mood, Alan Wilson joked, and he could understand Macmillan's distress.

There is Aiden who is the prime minister but is not interested in internal affairs. He specializes in formulating foreign policy. The foreign minister feels very uncomfortable, especially when many diplomatic work is not going well. That's weird.

"Alan, this joke is not funny." McMillan was not in the mood to listen to the joke. If Britain and France were the only powerful countries in the world, Britain could certainly force France to submit.

But it is already a matter of the last era that Britain and France decide the direction of the world. France really does not listen to persuasion, and the United Kingdom does not have many options. It really annoys the French. If they come to vote for the Communist Party, the whole of Europe will become a vassal of the Soviet Union.

If it weren't for Macmillan, he would be worrying unfoundedly. Couldn't Britain surrender?It's just dead-brained.

After returning to London, Macmillan will go to No. [-] Downing Street. The only thing Alan Wilson is planning recently is to wait for the first batch of interns to arrive in the UK, and there are immediate priorities, such as...

"Welcome the President of the Mountbatten Group and Her Majesty the Princess to loyal London!" Alan Wilson bowed and saluted at the exit of London International Airport, paying tribute to the ladies who were surrounded and walked out.

Immediately afterwards, he took a few steps forward and hugged his wife's body in his arms, sighing, "It's like three autumns after a day, it's really nostalgic."

"I know what to say!" Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, and said in a low voice, "Did you do anything wrong?"

"If this is the case, the most important thing in marriage is loyalty." Allen Wilson denied it.

"I've remained loyal, but I don't know if you've done it!" Pamela Mountbatten muttered softly.

"Pamela is the only sun in my heart." Allen Wilson swore that he would not recognize anyone except Pamela.

Seeing his wife returning home like a migratory bird, Alan Wilson was extremely attentive, and at the same time did not forget to show his merits, "The business in Iran is not over yet, I will spare time to pick you up."

"On my way back, I have already talked with several protectorates in the Middle East and the Kingdom of Iraq. In a few days, the Kingdom of Iraq will announce that the Mountbatten Group will give up the allocation of oil shares." Pamela Mountbatten told Behind her husband, she narrated what she had done on her return trip.

"Sooner or later, don't feel sad about it." Alan Wilson comforted, "It's an unequal treaty. You and I both know that it will be abolished sooner or later, especially with the attention of the United States and the Soviet Union."

"The key is in the midst of the Iran crisis. If the Mountbatten Group does this, will it have a negative impact on the Six-Party Talks? I am mainly worried about this." Pamela Mountbatten does not know her husband, why she keeps urging him Give up oil cuts, especially at this time.

"The problem now is not about money, but about the dignity of the country. We use this to show that the oil share is not unnegotiable. The question is whether the British Empire is still respected." Alan Wilson said calmly, "That's good too. Playing lightly can put more pressure on Pahlavi."

Even if Alan Wilson does not do this, the United States will do so immediately, abolishing the allocation of Aramco, and all of them will be controlled by Saudi Arabia. If the United States really does this, it will be tantamount to putting the United Kingdom in it.

So it's better to let the wife do it first, and this can be said to be the personal behavior of the Mountbatten Oil Company.

Pamela Mountbatten did this, but did not ask other BP companies to follow suit. Whether other oil companies will follow up, we can communicate slowly at that time.

The Iranian oil crisis is no longer a simple issue of oil distribution. The United Kingdom has squeezed Iran's oil exports from the international community. It has established a small OPEC with the few countries it can control to protect Britain and Europe. Oil resources are stable.

Now biting Iran and not letting go is entirely to show the attitude of the United Kingdom. It is not that whoever nationalizes the United Kingdom will suffer losses, and the matter will pass in vain.Latin America is beyond the reach of the United Kingdom, and the United States, which has the Monroe Doctrine, turns a blind eye. The United Kingdom is unwilling to be the first bird, but in some hotspots, such as the Middle East, it will have to pay a price if it dares to do so.

"You are amazing, you are noble, and you use my company to pay for the country." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband angrily and moved herself. Although she said before that oil refining can be used instead of crude oil, who would think that money is too much?

"Honey, if the UK fails, who will defend your industry?" Alan Wilson asked with a smile, "Looking at your grievances, people who don't know think you have become a proletarian. But you don't Wrong, except for some iron ore, oil, food and water and electricity, and automobiles, you also meet the definition of a proletariat.”

Alan Wilson wanted to prepare some unique meals for his wife when she returned to China, and the location was set at Hoxon.Of course, Her Royal Highness the beloved princess can't skip it, otherwise my sister-in-law will be angry.

A banquet table was set up in the courtyard, piled high with rich confectionery and rich tableware.

The two ladies, well dressed, sat under a canopy of green leaves made of freshly cut branches, elegantly tied from one end to the other with gold, silver, and blue silk threads.Colorful fruits including gold.Artificial fruits made of silver and wax hung, or rather looked like beautiful eyes, peeking out from among the green leaves of the plane trees and lindens.

It all showed just how sincere Ellen Wilson was, and Princess Margaret saluted with a deep respect, as if thanking her brother-in-law for her hospitality.

There is a dish, whether it is venison, rabbit, lamb or poultry, which is stuffed into the belly of the cow, and it will be roasted very delicious, not only retaining their original essence, but also absorbing the essence of the roast beef juice.

"It's delicious, what's the name?" Margaret was very satisfied and asked her brother-in-law with a smile.

"What's the name of this?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. It's quite like a Fuluyan, but when he thinks that the name is too inauspicious, the UK is a monarchy country, so let's forget about naming it.

Newly married after a long absence, Pamela Mountbatten, who lives in two places with her husband, urgently needs her husband's comfort at this time.Incline a woman's disposition to meekness.The path to the heart is open.Words are insignificant, actions are more expressive.

Any action at this time will make the woman's senses greatly comforted and become docile and docile.

As an expert in oriental studies, it is normal to drink wolfberry, and it is also normal to eat some Liuwei Dihuang Wan. This is all derived from the love of traditional oriental culture, including but not limited to three wives and four concubines.

Regarding the announcement of the Kingdom of Iraq that it has signed a new oil agreement with the Mountbatten Group and recovered all oil shares in the Mountbatten Petroleum Company, it marks that the Kingdom of Iraq has reached a new stage in its autonomy.

Both the king and the regent expressed their joy at this victory.It is considered a phased victory, especially compared with Iran, which has been squeezed out of the international oil supply system.Similarly, protectorates such as Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain also announced similar news.

While achieving phased victories, these countries also expressed that they still want to maintain their traditional close relationship with the United Kingdom.It is also considered to be an important force for the security of the Middle East.

"Executive Deputy Minister, this is an arms sales contract transferred from the Ministry of Defense." Wick brought over a dozen documents, all of which were weapons that the Ministry of Defense hoped to put on the counter, covering the army, navy and air force.Of course, what Mountbatten most hopes to sell successfully is the navy's weapons.

But it may not be so smooth. For most countries in the world, army weapons are the most urgent.Tanks and armored vehicles, armed helicopters, and then fighter jets of the Air Force.

Advanced weapons can be given, but they cannot be formed into a system, so as to ensure that the initiative is still in the hands of the United Kingdom.Returning the shares to these countries is in itself to be exchanged with arms sales contracts, which is what I thought before.

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Wick picked up the phone, "Okay, I will pass it on to Sir."
