"It seems that we should find an opportunity to legislate to prohibit the offspring of transnational marriages from becoming politicians?" Pamela Mountbatten felt as if she understood what her husband meant.

She heard it right, Alan Wilson really thought so, "We should find such an opportunity, but we should not point to the United States too clearly, and use a compromise method, such as limiting a scope, spouses of Commonwealth countries can hold elections .It's better this way."

With a few more Conservative heroes like Churchill, the problem of shrinking Britain will no longer be a problem.

In Britain at this moment, Harold Wilson may be the happiest person. He is only 42 years old this year, but unexpectedly became the Foreign Secretary, a very important cabinet minister.

When the news came, even he himself was dizzy. In the Labor Party, he can be regarded as a rising star.

Prime Minister Attlee made such an arrangement, naturally he had his own considerations. Harold Wilson's age can be regarded as the future backbone of the Labor Party. For a politician, the age of 42 can be described as a golden age.

That's just one of the reasons, and there's also the fact that Harold Wilson himself, the ex-foreign secretary, was left by the late Ernest Bevin as chairman of Labor's union power, leading Ernest • Party politics after Bevin's death.

This part of power is also very important. Out of balance considerations, Attlee appointed Harold Wilson as Foreign Secretary after Morrison.

But there is no doubt that at the age of 42, Harold Wilson has reason to be happy to walk to the political center of the UK. This is the Foreign Office, which is as important as the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, and his resume will be extremely brilliant.

You must know that the current leader of the Conservative Party, Eden, was the foreign minister of the Churchill government during World War II. Although the parties are different, Harold Wilson has reason to believe that his future is bright.

"Dear minister, welcome to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed Harold Wilson's arrival, and introduced the specific work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some current issues.

"Sir Ismay." Harold Wilson shook hands with Sir Ismay with a humble attitude. "It seems that Sir Ismay will help me with my diplomatic work in the near future."

"Personally, I am very willing, but there may be some accidents." Sir Ismay hesitated to speak, but still expressed his friendliness, "Of course, I will try my best to help the Minister familiarize himself with the work every day I am in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "

Harold Wilson was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Is the Jazz going to retire?"

"I'm leaving my job. Now that I'm the oldest executive vice-minister in each department, the minister should have a young partner." Sir Ismay said with a smile, "It should be easier to cooperate in this way, after all our The age difference is far, and the angle of view may be inconsistent. I will try my best to recommend a permanent deputy minister with outstanding talents to assist the work of the minister, and you may know it."

Sir Ismay played a trick by not revealing the name of the candidate, so as to avoid a feeling of imperial appointment.

As his former partner Edward Bridges said, it is almost a certainty that a certain colonial commissioner will return and show his talents in the diplomatic field. Sir Ismay was born in India, in fact, because of the Important status, there is a huge group of people in British politics who were either born there or worked there.

Ismay would not take the initiative to say anything to Alan Wilson, but the retired former cabinet secretary and current director of the Mountbatten Group, Edward Bridges, has sufficient, reasonable and legal reasons to act as a bridge among them.

"There is absolutely no problem with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As long as Whitehall approves, you can hand over to the next High Commissioner of Malaya." Edward Bridges thought while thinking, "Is there any problem?"

"The problem is, I'm wondering if there's something that isn't working properly." Alan Wilson sighed. "Whether the situation can be stabilized depends on whether the Malayan colony can serve as a fulcrum."

"If Norman thinks so, he should agree to all the suggestions you submitted on the development of Malaya." Edward Bridges said without thinking, "Just like when I was always against the British India The civil servants look at it differently. If there is time, you can consider the handover with the Malaya side.”

It has been 13 years since Mountbatten led the British army to return to Malaya. After the tenure of the two high commissioners, the development of the Malaya colony has finally kept pace with Japan within Asia.

In terms of some industrial data, the Malayan colony has already kept pace with the British mainland, and together with China’s current export Xiangjiang, it maintains British trade in the eastern market.

Norman Brooke took the report submitted by Alan Wilson and used data to explain the importance of the current Malaya industrial base. The north can be connected to the Chinese market, the south can increase its influence on Australia, and the east can be connected with the Netherlands. The Kalimantan Island newspaper group keeps warm, drives Myanmar in the northwest, and maintains British influence in South Asia.

These data constitute Alan Wilson's glorious resume, "The development of the colony played a major role in Britain's response to the world economic crisis last year. With the current development, the Malayan colony will have a siphon effect on the entire Southeast Asia. We can’t control the entire population of British India, so it can be said that British India no longer exists, but it exists in a different way.”

"We still need a little time, but on a more macro level, I want to bring Allen back. Sir Ismay intends to be the Secretary-General of NATO, but his age is indeed very old in Whitehall. Going to Paris can avoid this. Minister Harold has just taken office, and it is very appropriate for Allen to cooperate with him to establish the image of the current government as old and capable."

While Prime Minister Attlee looked at the data, Norman Brook explained his arrangements for job transfers, "If the Prime Minister thinks there is no problem, I will make arrangements immediately, and at the same time let Allen hand over overseas work."

"I'm fine." Prime Minister Attlee looked at the industrial data of the Malaya colony, and to be honest, he was a little excited.Although Malaya is a colony, these industrial powers do belong to the UK and can be called upon by the UK.

In the evening, Allen Wilson received a call. The previous colony proposals were all approved and he was asked to prepare for the work handover. He put down the phone and couldn't help feeling, "I didn't expect it to be so long?"

Usually, although his second brother is busy most of the time, it does not mean that he is not busy. He is also responsible for the prosperity of Malaya.

"Your work has been arranged." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in a daze and asked, shaking her palm.

"If there are no accidents, it should be fine." Alan Wilson said vigorously, "Since there is still time, I want to go back and hand over the work."

The world economic crisis of [-] has passed away for most countries, but it seems that this is not the case for France, just as Alan Wilson is trying to take over as the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There was a protest march to end the war in Paris. Not surprisingly, it was suppressed by the government of the Fourth Republic, and the marchers were arrested.

Alan Wilson, who returned to Kuala Lumpur from Paris according to the established route, saw this scene by coincidence, although it did not delay his going to the headquarters of the film group.

Before becoming the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson has already brought into the role, thinking about the great changes that France is about to usher in and its impact on the United Kingdom.

Chapter 945 Handover Work

On many issues, it is a dilemma from the perspective of the United Kingdom. France’s insistence can share the pressure of Britain on the colonial issue, but if Algeria’s independence is really prevented, it will be difficult for the United Kingdom to suppress France on the European side.

Even joining forces with the United States is not easy. After all, the United States and Europe are separated by an Atlantic Ocean. If France suppresses Algeria's resistance, the basic market will have an advantage over all European countries.

What if the end result is that France keeps Algeria and Britain has to spit out all its colonies?That might be the worst outcome of all for Britain.

If this result occurs, there is only one choice for Britain. It must keep a few important colonies in its hands, otherwise Britain will not be able to compete with France, which has digested Algeria.

The so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body refers to the current situation. Britain wants it, but it is also afraid of the consequences.

It is true that it is impossible for Algeria to catch up with good places like Canada and Australia in the Commonwealth, but Algeria and France are separated by the Mediterranean Sea, and the help of the Commonwealth is thousands of miles away.

Alan Wilson was happy before the key government because nothing was imminent. He really had reached the so-called turning point in history. He was no different from the average British. Can he accept that the suspicious allies who have fought several times in the past 700 years are strong? unknown.

Alan Wilson, who was standing by the window on the top floor of Woodpecker Films headquarters, had a camera hanging around his neck, maintaining a posture of looking up into the distance, as if he was in a trance, and he didn't even notice that the door behind him was pushed open silently .

A pair of arms embraced Alan Wilson from behind, and Heidi Lamarr pressed her face against the man's back, whispering softly, "What are you looking at? There is something to see."

Alan Wilson, who was suddenly attacked, tightened his body, and then he smelled a familiar smell and turned around, "Heidi, how can you walk quieter than a kitten, I was shocked."

"You must have done something bad." Heidi Lamarr immediately saw the camera hanging around the man's neck, her face flushed and she spat lightly, "I always think about bad things every day, and I always carry a camera with me wherever I go."

Cough... Allen Wilson coughed softly to ease the embarrassment, "Where are you going, I just like to record the beautiful moments in life. This record is very extensive, not all art photos."

Heidi Lamarr would not believe this kind of explanation. She herself contributed a lot of material, but she didn't know about this so-called British gentleman who was so sanctimonious on the surface and full of male thieves and female prostitutes?

"Give me back my pregnancy photo, and I'll believe you." Heidi Lama asked persistently, "How many people's private collections do you have? It's too bad."

"Those things are not important. Honey!" Naturally, Alan Wilson couldn't hand over the photos. It's safer to keep this kind of photos in his hands, and it's also a kind of check and balance for several female stars.

But Heidi Lamarr also freed Alan Wilson from the complicated deduction of the evolution of the situation.Once he has not officially taken office, he cannot exert influence on diplomacy, and thinking about it will only increase troubles.

The second point is that nothing will achieve its goal at the beginning. It depends on the reaction of the French Legion in Algeria. It is still too early to talk about the result.

He feels that there is still time, so there is no need to rush to get angry now, and it is completely too late to pay attention to this matter after completing the handover work of the Malayan colony.

"Is Xia Meng's matter settled?" Alan Wilson put down his camera, and decided not to talk about state affairs but Fengyue.

"You seem to care about her very much." Heidi Lamarr muttered with a hint of jealousy, "You even helped her make connections. Neither Ingrid nor I have given you so much attention."

"Honey, what you said is against your will. Do I need to prove how I treat you?" Alan Wilson said with a hurt face, "She just got a little endorsement fee, I can give you a city construction plan , now the largest film and television company in Europe, I also have a little credit, I help you write scripts in Kuala Lumpur, you can’t say that about me, can you?”

Heidi Lamarr kept silent. She admitted that this is also true, but the treatment this man received here is unique in the world. For a star like her, anyone should be grateful to God, and Alan Wilson But there are more than one, and even have children, even if this is not enough.

"Okay, I just made a mistake that men make." Alan Wilson couldn't let this topic continue, and kissed Heidi Lamarr's red lips directly, not forgetting PUA said, "But you have to treat us Remaining faithful in a relationship, men and women are different in this matter."

"How could I..." Heidi Lamarr, who was known by PUA, showed a reaction that satisfied Alan Wilson.

It is completely reasonable for the imperial commissioner who has worked hard for world peace to enjoy this romantic capital.

"You have some of the French theaters in your hands. If there are no new movies released, there are more war movies that promote the fighting spirit of France." When Alan Wilson and the two female presidents had dinner, they chatted about the current situation. The situation facing France.

"We need your help to open up the Asia-Pacific market." Ingrid Bergman obviously knows the general situation, and she has a sense of sight that she is the first lady. "When I come back, I will stay in Paris for two more days. Now that you have returned to China to work, you are not free. If you need it, just tell us and we will go to London to see you."

There was nothing to say about the logistics support. In the bedroom of the film industry building at night, he experienced the treatment of a leading actor in Woodpecker Films.

After boarding the Comet airliner back to Kuala Lumpur, I happened to be taking Xia Meng with me. After the luxury goods cooperation contracts were signed, Xia Meng would also return to Asia.

However, Xia Meng, who has become the material of art photos, is still a little reluctant, but as she is brought to the cities along the way, she gradually lets go, indulging in the powerful PUA skills of the imperial commissioner.

"At that time, I will arrange a permanent residence for you in the UK, and you can come to London at any time." Ellen Wilson whispered in the woman's ear while holding Xia Meng's delicate body that hadn't passed the rocket cooling-off period.

"I'll listen to you." Xia Meng, who hugged the man's back, responded weakly, and she didn't even have the strength to move her little finger.

When they arrived in Kuala Lumpur, another wave of protests erupted in Paris, the capital of France. At the same time, the eruption was a counter-protest, a parade supporting the government of the Fourth Republic to continue the war.Paris is quite lively right now.

But in the British colony of Malaya, it still looks good. The strategic bomber came faster than him, the current High Commissioner of the Malaya colony. He had already transited through Kuala Lumpur, and six strategic bombers were stationed in Australia.

Richard took some colonial officials to welcome the return of his immediate boss at the airport, and Xia Meng had to wait until the welcoming ceremony was over before leaving the airport.

Richard's move is also an expression of his own reliability, and he expects the results he wants to appear.

Alan Wilson is well aware of this, and also hinted that the result is good. Of course, it would be even better to be able to finalize some things, such as the hydropower contract for the Malaya colonies.

In fact, from the perspective of financial resources and professionalism, it is the best choice to hand over to the Mountbatten Group.

It is not fair to exclude the most suitable option because the High Commissioner and the owner of the Mountbatten Group are husband and wife.

"What do you think about the manipulation of public opinion to re-merge Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Penang and Singapore into the British Straits Settlements?" Returning to the familiar administrative office, sitting in the seat of the High Commissioner, Alan Wilson asked a question .

"Which aspect?" Richard was stunned and immediately realized, "Is it to make at least the Malays think this is a good thing?"

"Of course!" Alan Wilson nodded. He brought all the letters of appointment, so he didn't continue to beat Richard, and said directly, "It is said that after the separation of the Straits Settlements, it will help the ethnic balance of the Malayan colonies. Of course Take Kuala Lumpur as an example. There are also a lot of Malays here. We must ensure that after the Straits Settlements are separated, the remaining colonies are still in a state of balance. It is up to you to announce the news, and then we will hand over the work.”

Richard felt that his bones were lighter, and he walked out of the office full of energy to prepare for the spin-off.

From the merger of the colonies after the war to the splitting of the colonies now, this may be a cycle.It's like in the long river of fate, you don't know whether the road ahead is smooth or not.

Alan Wilson had no time to express his gratitude, and announced that West Malaysia Commissioner Alisa and East Malaysia Commissioner Edel would also serve as the heads of the Administrative Bureau and the Judicial Bureau respectively, and then notified the major sultans to hold a meeting of rulers to inform them about the Kra Isthmus and establish two new State, Delin State and Nantai State.

"London has decided to arrange two rulers to manage the local unclaimed land." Alan Wilson met with his old friend Ali Khan before the official meeting of rulers, explaining the difficulties of the London government's arrangement , "Emperor Bao also paid the same as you. As for the current Queen's sister, Princess Margaret, my friend, you probably don't mind, and I can't say anything."

There was Princess Margaret who became the ruler of Southern Taizhou without paying a penny. How much money did Emperor Baoda make?The key is to hope that Ali Khan will not have any ideas. After all, Princess Margaret is the sister of the Queen of England, Ellen Wilson's... Well, Her Royal Highness in my heart is different from other candidates.

Ali Khan also knew that Princess Margaret's identity was extraordinary. "Of course I have nothing to say, and I can understand the good intentions of the London government."

"My friend, it would be great if you could understand." Alan Wilson said with a sigh of relief.

9Chapter 16 Foreign Policy I Lead

Although he is a bureaucrat, there should be no such thing as friendship, but as far as Alan Wilson is concerned, he has always pursued emphasizing love and righteousness. To be honest, this is very contradictory.

For Ali Khan, a maharajah who was born in India, although he has the trait of being an ordinary person, which conceals all the unpleasant shortcomings of the three buddies, but there is also some friendship in helping each other for so many years.

As long as it is within Alan Wilson's ability, or within the scope of power, he is willing to provide help. One of Ali Khan's sons killed someone before, and he settled it and planted it on Indonesian infiltrators.

Of course, Ali Khan is not someone who completely ignores the law. He also cleaned up his troubled son and gave the colonial government an explanation.

For example, £50 was spent on management.To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to the crime silver.

This time when he returned to Kuala Lumpur for the work handover, Alan Wilson also revealed to Ali Khan that he is still the immediate boss of the next commissioner. The Colonial Department and the Foreign Ministry are in the same building. He can also pay attention to the movements of the Malaya colonies, and more Not to mention he is still the executive deputy secretary general of the Overseas Asset Management Committee.

"This reassures me. For me, it is best not to have any annoying changes in this world." Ali Khan expressed his feelings, expressing the aspirations of those with vested interests. The stagnation of human civilization is what he hopes for.

"I understand that as monarchs, you only need to offer a little favor to buy people's hearts, and it can play a big role. Of course, other sultans are far from your financial resources."

Once again expressing his recognition of Ali Khan's financial resources, Alan Wilson said, "With the help of the rulers, we have the determination to stick to Malaya. In fact, the rulers should understand that who and who should be a kind of person. A The difference between a monarch and an ordinary citizen is greater than that between a man and a dog, except that everyone has a head and four limbs, and so does a dog, doesn't it?"

When Allen Wilson convened a meeting of rulers to express his goodwill to the major monarchs.Richard, the appointed next High Commissioner, is creating public opinion in favor of the Malays regarding the partition of the Straits Settlements.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Referring to the fact that Singapore was kicked out by Malaysia in the original history and had to establish a city-state, but this time the division is obviously much wider. Even the capital Kuala Lumpur was classified as the Straits Settlements.

After Richard formulated the core idea of ​​public opinion campaigning, he came to the meeting of rulers non-stop, and as the next high commissioner, contacted the rulers of each state.

Alan Wilson and the big compradors assured that nothing will change, and the colonial government will still support Chinese businessmen in accordance with established policies until the establishment of an economic circle within Southeast Asia.

Soon, Richard, who entered the rhythm of the High Commissioner, reiterated this point in front of Su Yang and others, "The policy of the High Commissioner Wilson will not change in any way. Of course, the colonial government also needs the support of justices of the peace."

"Definitely!" Su Yang, Gu Ke and others spoke one after another, expressing their reliability to the colonial government again.

With the guarantees of the rulers and compradors, Malaya can operate stably, and Richard can relax a little.

Alan Wilson took his successor to the golf course to ask about the operations of the Straits Settlements, "Do you know why the Straits Settlements were divided?"

"Separate important and wealthy places to increase the power of the colonial government?" Richard asked with some uncertainty.

"This is just one aspect. The fundamental reason is to increase the gap between the two groups. For the Chinese group, we still need to support it at an invisible level." Alan Wilson took out two cigars and lit one for Richard. Gen Dao, "The cultural system of the Chinese is actually not strong in terms of cultural barriers, and the spread of the Peace Sect in the agricultural era, as long as you have a little understanding of history, you will know how terrible the speed is."

Monotheism is stronger than polytheism, and polytheism is stronger than ordinary cultures. In historical debates about Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism has more defeats than victory. Does Buddhism have resistance to Peace Sect?Not to mention a culture looser than Buddhism.

The Malayan Chinese only have a comparative advantage in numbers, and even Lin Lianyu and Chen Zhenlu belong to the literati of the old era.

He was really afraid that these old literati could not argue with the imams, so administratively, he finally decided to divide the merged colonies again. On the surface, he could announce the inclusiveness of a pluralistic society, so that people could not find faults.

"I'm not worried about internal affairs, but in terms of the external environment, except for Indonesia, we should not conflict with the pro-Soviet countries in the north." Alan Wilson solemnly ordered, "That's the work of the Americans, we don't want to Steal the show."

"Commissioner, in fact, I have always had a question, why do you have a high opinion of China?" Richard asked his doubts, which obviously had been in his mind for a long time.

Alan Wilson nodded with a smile, "This is a good question. Let me also ask you, when do you think the peak of the British Empire was, the Victorian era, right? Why is the Victorian era the peak?"

Richard finds this question very strange, how simple it is, "The British Empire has territory in any time zone, and hundreds of millions of people live within the territory of the empire under its rule."

Alan Wilson stretched out his hand, and said like a teacher, "Change what you said about Britain to China, and you will know why you have to look at China with high regard. What kind of oriental culture is just a good-favorite rhetoric used to bring each other closer. Culture There is no quantitative standard for this thing. You say you are strong, others say he is strong. Indians say that their culture leads the world, but the area and population cannot be faked. When it comes to culture, British culture is obviously not in Europe. France's opponents cannot even face Germany and Russia."

"Of course, Nehru must be kept in mind at this stage. Goa is not only important to Portugal, but also to us. Although it is a territory of Portugal, it is also a window for British products to enter India."

"Then what is the level standard?" Richard still wanted to ask more clearly to prevent overreaction.

"Well, as long as China doesn't annex Vietnam, it has nothing to do with us. No matter what the Americans say, we're just staring at Indonesia." Alan Wilson hesitated for a while, and gave a fairly lenient standard in order to reassure his successor s answer.

It is impossible to think about it, so this standard cannot be triggered.
