British civil servant

"As for Indonesia, there is no need to be so polite. Sukarno has publicly advocated the Great Indonesianism and visited the Soviet camp last year. Although the United States has conflicts with our understanding of Indonesia, we firmly believe that the Americans' understanding of Indonesia is wrong. Yes, the five-nation defense is absolutely necessary."

Richard nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and accepted the idea of ​​using the Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet to take high-pressure actions against Indonesia. "We must resolutely defeat their ambitions against Indonesia."

"Before I resign, I will try my best to find a way to bring over honest weapons from Indonesia." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Indonesia and Malaya have a nearly ten-fold income gap, which is the best comparison object. Find more Trouble in Indonesia helps stabilize the colony of Malaya."

God bless, the current Indonesia is the poorest place in Southeast Asia, and the income of Indians is higher than that of Indonesia.The Malayan colony did not surpass Indonesia in per capita income, but also surpassed Indonesia in total.

Out of the basic principle of basing one's own happiness on the pain of the opponent, one must pull out Indonesia for comparison if nothing happens, "When I return to London, you will replace me to maintain communication with the Sultans and Chinese businessmen. Contact me directly with any questions."

"Is the commissioner going back to London?" Richard had a complex expression on his face, but immediately showed a look of reluctance.

"Are you looking forward to my leaving early?" Alan Wilson squinted at Richard, as if he was measuring whether this subordinate was reliable.

Chapter 942 Begging for a Bomber

"Don't be nervous, just kidding, the senior commissioner must have the psychological quality to deal with it calmly, so that he can deal with emergencies." Seeing that his subordinates are about to prove whether they are reliable, Alan Wilson smiled and comforted, and then looked at him with nostalgic eyes The surrounding scenery, "In any case, the days when I was a high commissioner in Malaya was a precious experience in my life."

Including but not limited to, his second younger brother is obviously busier than him. Thinking about it carefully, I am quite touched.

However, Alan Wilson did not achieve all the goals he set when he took office. At the critical moment, he was still soft on the big action to subvert a country, and he did not dare to face the possible consequences.

But it doesn't matter, he can find a way to make others bear the consequences, such as Richard who has seen the dawn of life.

Let Richard continue to preside over the daily work, Alan Wilson took his wife and sister-in-law, and walked around the colony where he had worked for many years with a relaxed attitude. Looking back now, he really has never been so relaxed, not running around Putting key policies into action is like living among thousands of flowers, but you can't keep a leaf from touching your body.

When living a good life, there is a kind of people who will deliberately look for people who have a bad life, such as the richest man in India who built his mansion next to the poor kiln.

Alan Wilson didn't know what kind of psychology this was, but he could find that many people had this kind of psychology.Take the enthusiastic sister-in-law as an example, Her Royal Highness has a strong interest in watching savages.

There are many villages at the junction of East Malaysia and Dutch Kalimantan. It is not surprising if there are only primitive villages, but as we all know, Britain has always had a strong interest in archeology, and excavated in the local area The caves where primitive tribes live, this is worth exploring.

This became one of the stops on the High Commissioner's tour with his wife and sister-in-law, and the cave dug was sunken in the hillside, and it was a good place for those who lived in the forest.After their bad deeds at night, they rested in their holes.This cave is sheltered from the wind and cannot be blown by violent hurricanes, but it faces the threat of mudslides.

The hole had been occupied by generations of natives, the most recent of which had purposely planted some teak wood in disorder to conceal the passage.They use teak leaf sap to dye their clothes.A thick curtain of dwarf mango trees and clusters of acacias bar the entrance.

Archaeologists clean up broken statuettes.Most of the statue has been restored: the feet of the beast, the thighs of the horse, the man's organ, the upper body of the woman, the smooth and young head wearing a hat, it is difficult to deduce what belief it is, but Alan Wilson thinks , this statue is very Hindu in style.

"It's a modern society, and there are still people living like this." Pamela Mountbatten had some feelings.

"The Asian side is pretty good. If you don't know the situation in Africa, there are really all kinds of people." Alan Wilson put his arm around his wife's shoulders, completely treating this as an outing, and the two also got the princess's glory , there are MI[-] agents protecting Princess Margaret.

Even when New China was founded, there were still many tribes living a primitive life, not to mention the inferior Southeast Asia.

The living conditions of the aborigines in the Andaman Islands are also the same. The hateful Japanese actually laid hands on them.

Many years have passed. Regarding the riots of Japanese prisoners of war in the Andaman Islands, the United Kingdom is still covering up, but it is still impossible to make it seamless. In a certain psychological way, Alan Wilson used folk rumors to kill Japanese prisoners of war. The story of the repression was publicized.

It's okay, he always fires map guns, it's not the first time he does something like this, and it definitely won't be the last time.

As Japan's non-staff prime minister, it is his duty to shape the image of the Japanese, and he does not need to thank him for his deep achievements and fame.

Having said that, he has never lived in the Sarawak Palace in Kuching, although it has been refurbished by Pamela Mountbatten, which is not inferior to any sleeping palace.

It's a pity that Alan Wilson has always been blind to architectural styles, has no appreciation, and doesn't know the difference between Baroque and other styles. This disappointed his wife who was eagerly waiting to be praised, "What do you think of this palace?"

"Very good, especially in Asia." Alan Wilson froze for a moment and said honestly.

"How do you say that?" Pamela Mountbatten became interested. She knew a lot of strange knowledge in her husband's mind, and she was going to listen to a story before going to bed.

"The buildings in East Asia and Southeast Asia are mainly made of wood. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to preserve. No wooden building can be preserved for more than a thousand years." Alan Wilson thought while thinking. If he remembers correctly, the founding of New China looked for ancient buildings from all over the country. , and finally found a Tang Dynasty wooden building in Shanxi, which really disappeared in the long time ago.

So the style of the buildings here can only be guessed.The stone buildings in Europe have the advantage of being preserved for a long time.Remains of the works of the Roman Empire exist.

Wooden buildings can also be built very grandly, but European architecture is more valuable geometrically.The grand result of the buildings in East Asia is that there are a large number of columns in the room for support, which is also related to the weak geometry in Asia.

In fact, China is quite strong in a country dominated by wooden buildings. If you go to Korea and Vietnam, you will know that the so-called palaces are really petty, and even European churches are more imposing than the so-called royal palaces.

This is also in line with the historical facts. There is no civilization of peer-to-peer exchanges around China, and every bit of progress can only be studied by oneself.The good thing is that it won't be like the Persians. Even the state religion was replaced by the peace religion after losing once.

Turning his head to see that his wife was already asleep, Alan Wilson looked at the night outside the window and fell asleep unconsciously.

The Malayan colony across the equator does not care about winter and summer, but since you want to return to China, you must consider the climate in London at this time. Fortunately, it is already the end of February, and London is also in the process of spring. Since the London smog incident, the air quality in London It has improved greatly, and instead, the air in Colonial Malaya is not as good as it used to be.

Alan Wilson brought information on the planning of the Malayan colony, and returned to Europe with his wife and Her Royal Highness on Comet [-]. Pamela Mountbatten and Princess Margaret saw it with their own eyes this time. How do you live in today's peaceful environment?

Every station must stop. Comet [-] took off from Kuala Lumpur, landed in Yangon, and took off to Colombo in Ceylon two days later.The third stop was Portuguese Goa, and then arrived in Dubai, including Aden, which is close at hand.

When arriving in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, Alan Wilson took his wife and sister-in-law to visit the pyramids.By the way, to find out the real public opinion of Farouk I in Egypt, is it true that Ali Pasha is still alive, or is there an undercurrent?

"Your husband, is he usually in this state?" Princess Margaret secretly asked Pamela Mountbatten.

"He was in this state a long time ago." Pamela Mountbatten recalled that when she first met this man, she had to avoid even flying, and had to go back by boat every time she returned to the country. She couldn't help laughing, "He can fly already It's a big improvement. If the colony is not too scattered, he will never succumb to reality."

"What are you talking about?" A senior photography artist, even an imperial commissioner who can develop photos by himself, looked back at the two whispering women with a camera, his face full of doubts.

"It's nothing." Pamela Mountbatten smiled gently, her eyes were full of this man's shadow.

Just as Alan Wilson gave Richard hints on various occasions before leaving, he also accepted many hints from the Cabinet Secretary, the Honorable Sir Norman Brooke, before leaving.

The reason for this is very simple, he is older than Richard, and Norman Brook is older than him.

Taking his wife, sister-in-law and other family members with him, he wanted to visit Cairo, Rome, and Paris. Alan Wilson, who was not in a hurry, set foot on the land of London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

The busyness of the past few years seems to have been relieved by this stop-and-go trip, and he even found time to communicate with Hepburn and the strong women in Paris.

As soon as she returned to London, Pamela Mountbatten took Princess Margaret and contacted friends everywhere.

The person involved, Alan Wilson, acted as if he had nothing to do with me, and found his most respected father-in-law, Field Marshal Mountbatten, Chief of the British Defense Staff, the highest full-time commander of the British military.

"After full consideration, we had an in-depth discussion with the Egyptians to prepare to sell a Giant-class aircraft carrier. After all, Egypt is very important to the global interests of the British Empire." Admiral Mountbatten mentioned the latest naval operations.

"We should pull the Egyptian navy and conduct an exercise. I think the vicinity of Sannibal is good, and it will help to enhance Egypt's prestige in the Arab world. In fact, selling the aircraft carrier is a very wise decision. The navy is a technology-hungry arm with a high threshold. It is very strong, and strong is strong, weak is weak, and if the Egyptian navy expands ten times, it will easily be sent to the bottom of the sea if it turns against us."

Alan Wilson was very much in favor of the sale of the aircraft carrier, and then began to instill his own private goods, "I am most worried about the safety of the Malaya colony. If the three-V strategic bomber can be sent to Australia as a way to contain Indonesia's dangerous move It’s better to do what’s necessary.”

Marshal Mountbatten gave his son-in-law a look. To put it bluntly, I know what kind of shit you pout your ass, "If it weren't for the strategic nuclear missiles that haven't entered the production stage, what you want this time is not only Strategic bomber."

"I am completely selfless, all for the global strategic considerations of the British Empire." Alan Wilson said with a clear conscience, almost saying that your daughter admires me for this.

Chapter 943 New Foreign Minister

"You are a colonial high commissioner, considering the global strategic interests of the British Empire?" Marshal Mountbatten's mouth twitched. He could only say that his intentions were good, but there seemed to be something wrong.

"I'm in charge of supervising overseas assets, so I have to think about it this way." It's not a correction to the marshal, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "In fact, whether it's a strategic bomber or a strategic missile, it doesn't have a nuclear warhead, so it's not a threat."

"You still want nuclear warheads?" Marshal Mountbatten asked in surprise, "Do you know what this means?"

"It represents the gap between the UK and the non-nuclear countries. It represents the unfairness of the world and the international order." Alan Wilson said the **** one after another, and said with a clear conscience, "Besides, I still have I really don’t know what it means, I heard that the United States is carrying out a project in Turkey, secretly, and there is no news from Five Eyes, maybe it will become a hidden danger of conflict.”

There are actually speculations about the sneakiness of the United States and Turkey, but there is no evidence.

However, the United Kingdom has received a nuclear sharing policy promise from the United States and wants to place British nuclear weapons in the NATO framework.

"Marshal, here are some data on the industrial capacity of the Malayan colonies." Alan Wilson had already prepared, and this time he brought back a batch of materials to emphasize the importance of the Malayan colonies.

In fact, it is not an emphasis. London has realized the role of the Malayan colony in the mainland.Bringing back the information is not only persuading Whitehall, but also persuading the military to protect the security of the Malayan colony.

Marshal Mountbatten flipped through the data and said slowly, "Give me a big reason, otherwise it might not work."

"After an open and honest discussion, my subordinates suggested that I find a group with strong capital for the Malaya colony to operate the hydropower system of the Malaya colony." Alan Wilson said without changing his expression, "Pamela has already obtained The right to operate the hydropower system in Western Australia is the best choice."

"We all agree that there is no doubt about the importance of the Malaya colony in the global strategy." Marshal Mountbatten coughed softly, "It is only natural to send strategic bombers here."

"It's mainly to protect Australia." Alan Wilson struck while the iron was hot, "Canberra will definitely agree."

"Yes, that's right. We must consider the relationship that blood is thicker than water." Marshal Mountbatten smiled and agreed, "Since it is the demand of the allies, if we do not agree, it will be very unreasonable."

"Could hurt the feelings of Australians. Let them down." Alan Wilson clapped his hands, applauding this very human decision.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs to work hard for this." Marshal Mountbatten glanced at his son-in-law, and pointed to the key point in a daze.

"I believe that where there is a will, there is a way." Alan Wilson certainly understood that the matter was not that simple. This matter could not be done by Marshal Mountbatten with a single word, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not get around it.

He wasn't going to let the strategic bomber fly to Australia tomorrow. He planned slowly and waited for the desired result.

"The cabinet has been very lively recently, and the chancellor and the foreign minister are always quarreling, because some news pointed out that Prime Minister Attlee is not going to continue to be the leader of the Labor Party and expects the Chancellor to lead the Labor Party. This may also be related to the Labor Party's sluggish approval rating , to be honest, the image of Prime Minister Attlee is the same as that of Churchill a few years ago."

Alan Wilson nodded, thanking his father-in-law for his suggestion, and said helplessly, "Prime Minister Attlee is 75 years old. In [-], he gave the impression of being energetic. Now he is the prime minister? What is his age? A little bigger."

"Actually, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer can lead the Labor Party to continue in power, it will be good for you, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer is no stranger to British India, and his father is the High Commissioner of British India. It is somewhat similar to you. But, Some things are said early, but the Labor Party is not easy to win."

Marshal Mountbatten hinted to his son-in-law that the internal strife in the Labor Party is no longer an undercurrent, but has reached a higher level.

Attlee's preference for the chancellor as the leader of the Labor Party is to block Morrison's path to prime minister.For this reason, the current cabinet is quite lively.

The conflict involving the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs can be described as a fight between gods and gods.

Weng and his son-in-law also understand that the outcome is already doomed. If the prime minister and the chancellor of the exchequer take a common position, there is almost no chance for the foreign minister to turn the tables.

Go to Whitehall NO.70 and submit a comprehensive plan for the development of the Malayan colony to Norman Brooke.It was a very memorable afternoon, and for Alan Wilson, it was a role change with Richard.

In front of Norman Brooke, he constantly showed all the good qualities of Whitehall civil servants, especially reliability...

"Our esteemed foreign minister may usher in a relaxed and comfortable retirement." Norman Brook saw Alan Wilson mentioning this matter, and commented flatly, "He is a passionate person. , if he becomes the prime minister, he might do well, he pays so much attention to public opinion and his own image in the newspapers."

"The Foreign Secretary seems to have a high level of support among the Labor Party." Alan Wilson sighed, "I thought it wouldn't be like this."

"Politics is not a simple arithmetic problem. Anything can happen." Norman Brooke has obviously seen all kinds of emergencies in his long Whitehall career, and he has not shown the slightest surprise. The report, and the appointment and dismissal of some officials you recommend? For the protection of long-term development, I also think that the stability of officials will help the coherence of policies, but regardless of whether overseas civil servants or local civil servants are a whole, what we are looking for is Overall interests, Alan, can you understand this?"

"Of course, an unbreakable whole." Alan Wilson, like Richard before him, expressed his loyalty to the cabinet secretary.

"Go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and see if you can help Sir Ismay." Norman Brooke smiled, and pointed out a clear way for the subordinates who came to Whitehall NO.70.

As night fell, Alan Wilson, who came out from the Foreign Office, visited the retired Edward Bridges.

Asking Alan Wilson to restore the day's affairs as much as possible, the former cabinet secretary smiled, "It's not a big problem, Sir Ismay is also my old partner. I was cabinet secretary at that time, and he was Prime Minister Churchill's personal military adviser. I know him well, and I once served as secretary-general in British India, and I have an inseparable relationship with Marshal Mountbatten, if he goes to NATO as secretary-general and stays in the position, you have a great chance of getting it."

"Will everything go well?" Alan Wilson was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, which was a crucial step.

"You can relax, the cabinet secretary approves, and the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends, there will be almost no problems. You don't want to show up in Whitehall recently, and keep busy with your affairs."

Edward Bridges said calmly, "Pretending to be a fool depends on talent; he has to spy on the mood of the people he is making fun of, understand their identities, and see the timing; Like a wild hawk at every bird in sight, at every opportunity. It is a work as hard as a clever man's art."

On average, the average tenure of a cabinet minister is not long, but such heavyweight cabinet ministers as the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are generally not easily replaced.There are many unimportant ministers, which reduces the minister's tenure time.

This is especially true of the characteristics of the Labor Party’s cabinet. Before the election in [-], the Labor Party had almost no chance of governing. When Churchill was defeated and came to power, many leaders of the Labor Party held multiple positions, and a group of super minister.

Even so, Attlee was not prepared to give such an important department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Morrison, who once competed with him for the leadership of the party. If Ernest Bevin hadn't died of illness, Morrison's supporters would Labor does have a lot and he won't let Morrison lead the Foreign Office after Bevan's death.

From [-] to the present, the Labor Party has formed a cabinet three times, and the original super minister who held multiple positions has disappeared.

Attlee's age has also changed from his early 75s to [-] years old. For him, the current unoptimistic approval rate forces him to think about who the next leader of the Labor Party will be while trying to increase his approval rate.

If you think too much about this question, Morrison, who once competed with him for the leadership of the party, cannot be ignored.

The matter is already very simple. After Prime Minister Attlee is optimistic about himself, the leader of the Labor Party is the Chancellor of the Exchequer Gatzke.Instead of Morrison, then the fate of the foreign secretary can be imagined.

Morrison made the transition from foreign secretary to labor secretary after a single cabinet meeting.

"I thought I would give the position of Minister of Ceremony or Lord Seal." Alan Wilson muttered to his wife, "But what I didn't expect was that such an important department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be handed over to Harold Wilson. .”

"Don't you know him?" Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband, "Isn't it a pleasure to cooperate?"

"It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is about to usher in the era of Wilson and Wilson." Alan Wilson boasted, "I am not mentally prepared yet, and I am being handed over to the next commissioner of Malaya."

"Look at the smug look, it's not settled yet." Pamela Mountbatten snorted softly, and gave Alan Wilson a back of the head.

"How do you talk to your husband?" Alan Wilson saw that paternalism was too much, "stick out your tongue, or your ass will bloom."

Chapter 944 The New Journey

Who is in charge of this family?This is a very important question. Can you sweep the world without sweeping a house?

Pamela Mountbatten's disobedience forced Alan Wilson to let his wife re-understand himself and cast the jab of the Saigon boxing champion.

In the end, Pamela Mountbatten, who had endured countless jab attacks, could only shed tears of remorse, expressing that she would not dare next time.

After a long time, he put on the clothes that had been lost due to the fierce battle, and said pitifully, "You know it's good for me."

"If I didn't treat you badly, then it wouldn't be a big deal." Alan Wilson asked back twisting his neck to the right, and turned the situation around, making Pamela Mountbatten realize his mistake, "It was too intense just now, your waist was broken by you , can't do this next time."

"It depends on your performance." Allen Wilson's vanity was satisfied, and he looked at his wife with a childish look.

Husband and wife need to communicate more, just like two people, communicate at the first time, twice if not once, and always solve the problem in time, Pamela Mountbatten directly coaxed her son to go after receiving the jab.

This time back in London, the eldest daughter Pamela was placed with the Mountbatten couple, which brought a lot of laughter to the Marshal's family, and at the same time liberated the private space of Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"You have had contact with this foreign minister in Australia, what do you think? I heard that he is suspected of being too close to the Soviet Union." After communicating, Pamela Mountbatten let go of the barrier, and discussed with her husband about possible partners in the future.

"It doesn't matter how he is, but he said that he is too close to the Soviet Union? Who said that?" Alan Wilson curled his lips and said in a strange way, "I am very surprised, how the Conservative Party, which is a party of children of transnational marriages, is so brazen and expressive Loyal to the United Kingdom? I won’t mention Churchill, but the current No. [-] figure in the Conservative Party, Macmillan, has the potential of a second Churchill.”

Like Churchill, Macmillan had an American mother and a reverence for the monarchy.The former is well-documented. As for supporting the monarchy, who knows if it is an act?
