British civil servant

The clarification through diplomatic channels was very formal, and the exclusive news McCarthy got in private was very explosive.

The first thousand and six chapters because the United States will oppose

As a friend of McCarthy, it was reasonable for Alan Wilson to do so. Although McCarthy was a hated Irish descendant, McCarthy was still his friend at this stage.

He also believed that Nixon, as a veteran politician, could get through this hurdle, otherwise he would be sorry for his official career for so many years.

Of course, he can't let Foreign Minister Macmillan be idle. Regarding the issue of the undecided immigration of 50 million Indians in British Kenya, Macmillan must now pay his own attention.

Although this is a difficult problem, the minister himself must have the ability to solve difficult problems. Who made voters think so?

If Macmillan can't fix the problem, support could drop.

If Macmillan fixes the issue, Labor could slam Macmillan as xenophobic and a racist.

After the war, in an environment where the emergence of people like the head of state became the consensus of all countries, the pressure brought by racists is also a heavy burden. No matter how you choose, it seems that you have to pay a certain price.

This is a deliberate legacy of Alan Wilson's predecessor as foreign secretary, and it happens to be in Macmillan's hands.

As for McMillan's question, Alan Wilson's answer was that he had just become the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was not familiar with some jobs.

Thanks to years of hard work, the native British working class were already buying cars and taking holidays abroad before the influx of immigrants from the Commonwealth countries came to the UK.Alan Wilson has been advertising the sunny beaches of Malaya.

Naturally, it is impossible to attract a large number of British immigrants to settle. If the British want to immigrate, they still prefer the Five Eyes Alliance. However, in recent years, the main place of immigration is Australia, especially Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

"Alan, you are a big show in Moscow." Makins, who works for the Ministry of the Interior, admired him, implying that Alan Wilson had seized a good opportunity, and now the kitchen debate is being discussed in the UK and even the world.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Alan Wilson looked at his old friend and said in his heart that you don't know that I just sold Indonesia to Moscow in exchange for such a chance to show off.

However, the United Kingdom is not at a disadvantage. Alan Wilson did this for the sake of the United Kingdom.If the complete victory of the Cold War was the result of the US monopolizing all interests, he hoped that the Cold War would last for 200 years.

At least in the face of the great enemy, the United States will never harvest its allies every now and then. Of course, Japan is an exception.

Alan Wilson made a big splash, and Makins naturally came to strengthen his connections, "However, I also heard that some people think it makes sense for the Soviet Union to lift the blockade and open up more trade."

"What's the point? A country like the Soviet Union can't be trusted." Alan Wilson snorted softly and pouted, "The part of the Soviet Union's proposal to open up trade is only a part that is beneficial to the Soviet Union. Does the Soviet Union dare to open up all of Eastern Europe and its own market? ? All intellectual property rights must be recognized jointly, and no sneaky reverse engineering is allowed. The Soviet Union did not dare, so the blockade against the Soviet Union will continue. Importing some agricultural raw materials is fine, but don’t even think about other things.”

The Soviet Union is a country that openly does not recognize intellectual property rights. To recognize it, the constitution must be amended.According to Soviet law, all inventions belonged to the state and were protected by inventor certificates.

In addition, there is no fee to be paid to receive an inventor's certificate issued by the state.No one can sell the invention or sell the license to use it because it is already state property.The interests of the socialist state and the collective are higher than the interests of individuals. Copyright is collectively owned and is collective public property. People can often obtain subsidized books or audio-visual products from the state.

"So free trade is not free trade as we understand it." After hearing Alan Wilson's explanation, Maggins replied lazily, "The Soviets wanted to be beautiful, and they took all the benefits, but they still wanted to protect own market."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said helplessly, "But the free world is not united. For example, France and Italy may provide some technology in exchange for benefits, so we have to be careful about this issue."

There is nothing new under the sun, and the Soviet Union is definitely not the last one to use the market for technology transfer.

"It's really a difficult opponent." Makins commented with a cold face, "I thought the United States and the Soviet Union had a good negotiation."

"Don't talk about those Soviets." Alan Wilson obviously didn't want to talk about issues that had long been settled, and asked about Maggins' recent work. The Ministry of the Interior is also a high-ranking department, and it handles quite a lot of things.

Makins is now serving the Ministry of the Interior, and he must have countless troubles. "We cooperated with the medical department to incorporate some common drugs into the national health care system. Things have changed unexpectedly. Guess what?"

"Profits have decreased, and the pharmaceutical group has terminated production." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "Many drugs that were very common in the past disappeared from the market after being included in the national health care system, and replaced with similar effects, but no Medicines in the NHS. Right?"

"You should take my place and talk to those pharmaceutical groups." Maggins smiled wryly and shook his head. "Or instead of being a civil servant, it would be more appropriate for you to be a consultant to a pharmaceutical group."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is also very normal. Why do we produce without profit? We are not the Soviet Union. We have no obligation to do things without profit." Alan Wilson yawned, "Anyway, I'm sick for my own safety. , how much money the patient will pay."

Pamela Mountbatten's industry has biopharmaceuticals, and it is developing in full swing in India, so Makins' words are not objective. Of course, Alan Wilson has to speak for the medical group.

The rule is that the dead are alive, and any system can be circumvented as long as there is a way.It's just that the UK's national health care system has not been implemented for a long time, and some flexible measures are still in the groping stage.

In a few decades, it will take months to wait in line for an appointment. Either heals up or dies. If he is still alive, he can only take painkillers.

It's a good thing the Soviets didn't know the flexible side of the free world's national health care system, otherwise that would have been a real problem.

"My God, compared with you, it seems that I am still worthy of my conscience." Maggins shook his head and said to himself.

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief, "When did you have such a luxury. In order to defeat the Soviet Union's unprecedented opponent, we must deal with it in a more ruthless and bottomless way. Otherwise, we will have big troubles in the future. In my opinion, things like pensions should be abolished. The elderly have no value at all and cannot create wealth. It is a huge financial burden to support them. It is a pity that no politician dares to do this Dry."

"You won't be worried anymore. Pamela's group is so big, why do you still care about a little pension?" Makins gasped. If a politician said this, he would almost never be able to turn around in his life.

"I am also an honorable citizen of the United Kingdom. Pension is the country's guarantee for my years of service to society." Alan Wilson said suddenly, "Oh, I don't have to ask for this money, but the main thing is to respect the country's recognition of the hard work of civil servants throughout their lives, otherwise Just disrespecting the queen."

Alan Wilson, who has always respected the royal family, felt that he should ask his sister-in-law to comfort his heart that was devastated by the genuine dragoons. He must know how to combine work and rest, otherwise Britain may lose a pillar of talent in the future.

Foreign Secretary Macmillan is still worried about the positioning of the hundreds of thousands of Indians in British Kenya. This is a big thunder. If Kenya becomes independent and is brought into the UK, the Labor Party may seize the opportunity to attack it.If not?In fact, they will still be attacked. This is the exclusive benefit of the ruling party.

At this moment, Alan Wilson walked into the minister's office with the documents, and saw that Macmillan was in a state of desperation, "Dear minister, it seems that he is worrying about state affairs."

"It's not a problem of Indians in Kenya." McMillan was a little helpless, looked at Alan Wilson and asked, "Alan, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, it's about the schedule of holding the Antarctic Conference in Paris." Alan Wilson held the document and said, "It is expected to be held at the end of the year, and the participating countries include the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Discussion about Antarctica As for the issue of sovereignty, Australia is of course the most keen on Antarctica, after all, Australia is alone in the southern hemisphere and has great geographical convenience.”

"Antarctic meeting?" McMillan shook his head and said, "What kind of attitude are you going to use to deal with this meeting?"

"We will do our best to support Australia in the diplomatic field, but it will definitely be useless. Because both the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will oppose the division of sovereignty over Antarctica, so the final result is not surprising. It will be All claims to Antarctica will be frozen."

"It sounds as if Britain's ultimate efforts were thwarted by the U.S. stock market and the Soviet Union. Then why did we do this?" After listening to Macmillan, "Especially the U.S. is against it."

"It is precisely because of the opposition of the United States that the United Kingdom has to support Australia." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "The Americans will do the evil, and we will be good people. There is no better diplomatic conference than this kind of thing. It can also be used to prove that the UK has always defended the interests of the Commonwealth of Nations."

There is no need to hide anything. The reason why Britain supports Australia is because it is expected that the United States will oppose it.

Chapter One Thousand and Seven

At the same time, the documents that were sent to McMillan, as well as the Anglo-Egyptian naval military exercise and the official opening of the Zanzibar military base to Egypt, and the Anglo-Portuguese Indian Ocean military exercise jointly formulated with the Ministry of Defense, two military exercises will be held in the future. carried out during the year.

In a sense, these two military exercises are very important, and the significance of the Suez Canal in Egypt to whether the British Empire is a global empire is naturally self-evident.

The significance of the Anglo-Portuguese Indian Ocean military exercise will not be that bad. The Salazar government in Portugal has a firm attitude towards the maintenance of the colony.

Therefore, at an appropriate time, Britain should also show its sincerity and support Portugal's interests.The British Malayan colony is positioned as an industrial production base, and it can still gain a lot of benefits through the existence of Goa. It is an excellent window for entering the Indian market.

"Alan, it seems that you were the one who reached the land replacement treaty with Portugal." McMillan recalled this incident, and commented meaningfully, "You had this idea at the time?"

"In India, that line is called the Wilson line." Alan Wilson shirked responsibility without any trace. There have been many epic stories about the fight against the drought, and in order to save millions of lives, I have been pressured to agree to Portugal's conditions, and I have no choice but to do so."

Speaking of this, Allen Wilson is confident, who is he for, and isn't it to save some people from dying?

Only in this way did Portugal agree to the conditions for land replacement, turning Goa of more than 3000 square kilometers into a large Portuguese-owned Goa of nearly [-] square kilometers today.

As for the current Portuguese Hindus, what does it have to do with themselves? Who made India's policy problematic after independence? The peace believers sought protection from the Portuguese, which changed the population ratio of Goa.

That's not the problem of Britain, but the problem of Portugal and India. As for which problem is bigger, he doesn't know.

The Labor Party government's policy towards Egypt is mainly based on buying and wooing. It is now 15, nearly [-] years have passed since the end of World War II, and the Conservative Party has just regained power.Judging from Macmillan's attitude, he tends to inherit the Labor Party's foreign policy with only minor adjustments.

This can only be said to be partially due to Macmillan's factors, because the current Prime Minister Eden was once the Minister of Foreign Affairs.The current prime minister was originally the foreign minister, so it remains to be studied whose idea it is to inherit part of the Labor Party's foreign policy.

Although Macmillan is the prime minister after Eden according to history, the job that Eden is familiar with is also diplomatic work, which makes the current foreign secretary Macmillan very embarrassed. The prime minister has worked in the same field with him.

After taking office, Aiden basically entrusted the affairs related to the economy to the team headed by the chancellor of the exchequer Rabo Butler, and devoted his energy to the familiar diplomatic field.

Even as prime minister, Aiden is more willing to exert influence in the diplomatic field due to his work experience.

The prince Macmillan is in an embarrassing situation. Although Prince Charles is the Yinreng of the Great Britain, there is more than one Yinreng in the Great Britain.

The prime minister does not care about finances but about diplomacy, so some foreign policy documents have to be sent to No. [-] Downing Street, and Eden is waiting for approval.

"Norman, is it true that in recent years, Louis' son-in-law has been doing the work on colonial issues?" Aiden asked Cabinet Secretary Norman Brook holding two documents of the military exercise plan.

Norman Brook chuckled, and replied to Aiden, "I really want to deny it, but it's not true to deny it. It can only be said that Alan has been leading the work of the Overseas Assets Management Committee on some details."

"I heard that the assets held by this committee are quite large." Aiden raised his eyebrows. "Almost all the assets of the British colonies are related to this committee? Norman, you know, I am the prime minister."

"It can't be said to be particularly huge! Of course, respectable Prime Minister. It's just that when it comes to this kind of thing, it always requires the cooperation of civil servants stationed abroad. Even if a minister is assigned to take charge, the minister can't figure it out. Even if he spends half a month in each colony, he will not be able to return to London after a year."

Norman Brooke said eloquently, "And after a year, there will be new changes. Will the minister go around again?"

"The advantage of Alan being in charge of this matter is that he himself is working overseas, and he sees some problems more clearly than those who have been in the country for a long time. His work experience can also support this, working in Asia and America respectively. Experience can be called success, and the affluent life brought by the Mountbatten family allows Allen to keep a clear mind and never be fooled by money, which is exactly what is needed to manage huge overseas assets."

Norman Brook is absolutely absurd. Allen Wilson just doesn't embezzle himself, and doesn't stop other commissioners from filling their own pockets.And he is not corrupt, he is not greedy for petty money at all.

Norman Brooke was not defending Alan Wilson, but he was defending the interests of public servants.

What Aiden said just now made him keenly aware of the danger. Politicians are trying to seize control of overseas assets.

And Norman Brook's answer was to persuade the Prime Minister not to do this, because sending a minister would not work at all.There are dozens of overseas high commissioners alone, plus their subordinates, it is easy to deceive a person.

Was MI[-] sent to investigate overseas commissioners?If that were the case, it would turn into a confrontation between the Cabinet and Whitehall.So it's best to take a long-term view on this matter.

Norman Brooke and Aiden had a pretty good personal relationship, dating back even before World War II.With such a personal relationship, he can seriously discuss this issue with the prime minister without hesitation.

"One more thing, Prime Minister." Norman Brook didn't want to talk too deeply about this matter, so he mentioned another important matter to change the subject, "It's related to the former Prime Minister."

Attlee?Aiden became serious, "What? Is Attlee going to come out again for the general election?"

Although the Conservative Party regained the ruling power, it is not a complete victory in this general election, and the Labor Party still has considerable strength.

"Mr. Attlee intends to visit the East." Norman Brooke said to Aiden, "It should be an attempt to build diplomatic relations between China and Britain. It has a lot to do with pressure not joining the Korean War. Peace and development are the mainstream, and a large number of citizens are tired of any discussion of war."

"Of course, war is bad after all." Aiden nodded, thinking about whether to stop Attlee, but there seems to be no reason. Attlee has left politics and is a former prime minister with a good reputation. If he Blocking Attlee's visits as the current Prime Minister is very easy to attack.

In the end Aiden found he could not prevent Attlee from going abroad, leaving behind his assessment of the value of the Suez Canal, the possible serious consequences for all of Europe if a war broke out, and the position Britain might take if a war broke out in Goa.

This is only a hypothetical plan filing, Alan Wilson on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mountbatten on behalf of the British military to make a professional assessment.

Isn't it okay to make a plan?It is part of the job to formulate a response plan for various possible emergencies.

After leaving almost all the documents, the issue of the positioning of Indians in British Kenya was returned to the Foreign Secretary Macmillan, which reflects the importance of the top leader.The prime minister would never do this kind of problem that is obviously likely to be stepped on.

"Dixon, where's Alan?" McMillan, with a sad look on his face, asked the chief private secretary with the document on the positioning of Indians sent back by the prime minister.

"Sir Wilson is on a business trip, and his wife, Ms. Pamela, is expecting to give birth in Perth. He happens to have some matters to discuss with Australia about the Antarctic Conference. He may stay in Perth for a while." Dixon replied flatly.

When Dixon answered, the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hadn’t left Europe yet. He was talking to the two CEOs of the Woodpecker Company, and then gave the two dragoons a chance to kiss eels, and then stopped while walking. , which took five days to arrive in Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

Pamela Mountbatten, who is wearing white pajamas and has a bulging belly, is wearing slippers to replenish the energy of the baby in her stomach. While eating, she said, "The Antarctic Conference has recently passed its newspaper and is being paid attention to by Australia. So far, the feedback is quite good. , Australians generally believe that both Britain and the United States will support Australia's claim."

"The United States will do things that have no benefit? When did the United States ever be kind?" Alan Wilson threw away the orange peel and handed the peeled orange to his wife. "Australia is doomed to fail."

When his film series is finished, Australia will be warned of the lawlessness of black Americans.

Ingrid Bergman finally stated that she would find relevant talents for Alan Wilson, but she must not use people related to Woodpecker Films. This is the limit that Ingrid Bergman can accept.

"How about the silver thing." Alan Wilson ate the rest of the orange. It was sour. I really don't know how his wife could bear it.Agricultural technology innovation and improvement really have a long way to go.

"Raising your child and working for you." Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, and whispered, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, and the quality of silver is very high."

"If it succeeds, this will be a gift for our third child. Hey, there is no way. Although I have accumulated wealth through years of hard work, but there are more and more children, I always have to work harder." Alan Wilson touched Rubbing his wife's belly, he said, "If it succeeds this time, the wealth of the Mountbatten Group can reach another level."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"In fact, too much wealth is not a good thing for children." Although Pamela Mountbatten said so, she also accepted her husband's image of a loving father, touching her belly and said, "The main thing is to let children grow up safely and have Integrity of character, more than anything."

ah?Alan Wilson pulled his long face, but his mouth was full of flattery, fully explaining what it means to kneel and punch.

When her husband came to visit her, Pamela Mountbatten decided to go for a walk in a good mood, but she didn't trust her husband's driving skills, so she arranged for an assistant to drive to the selected wind tunnel test base.

"There will be a nuclear power plant here, what do you think?" Pamela Mountbatten asked lazily, leaning on her husband's shoulder.

"I don't think there is a problem." Alan Wilson replied happily. At least Britain is currently the world's number one nuclear power country. Although it is not known whether it will be one or two years later, it will be surpassed by the United States and the Soviet Union one after another.

Alan Wilson accompanied his wife to soothe his mood, and when the child was born, the wonder of the ever-changing international situation was undoubtedly revealed.Former British Prime Minister and former Labor Party leader Attlee visited a big country and was warmly welcomed.

And Khrushchev also went against all opinions and embarked on a trip to visit the United States. Everyone has a bright future.The paradox of the political situation is evident.Enough to make the jaws of the most stubborn patriot drop.

The leader of the opposing camp visited the beacon of the free world, and the former prime minister of the old imperialism visited the top fighter of the opposing camp.I don't know what France, which is trying to gain a sense of presence, will think after de Gaulle came to power.

Although Attlee stepped down as the leader of the Labor Party, but also because he was the first long-term prime minister of the Labor Party, he still had a high prestige within the Labor Party. He did not set out by himself, but brought many members of the Labor Party to form a delegation.

Seeing her husband holding an entire newspaper, Pamela Mountbatten asked curiously, "How?"

"What do you say? Warm welcome. Attlee is the most capable British Prime Minister." Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and shrugged. "Prime Minister Attlee does have high prestige."

Attlee has only been prime minister for more than five years in history, because the Korean War was persuaded by the United States to cause Britain's economic turmoil to step down.And this time, he has won three times in a row, and he has been the British Prime Minister for 14 years. He directly brought the United Kingdom out of the quagmire. It can be said that now Churchill can suppress Attlee, and only the political correctness of leading the United Kingdom to win the world war remains. One side.

Looking back now on [-], when the World War ended, Alan Wilson still felt lingering fears. The United Kingdom was really declining to the extreme at that time, and was completely in a quagmire.

"You sold British India for a good price." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband's expression and knew what this man was thinking. At that time, Britain was indeed in decline.

"Such a large piece of land should be bought at a good price." Alan Wilson answered his wife's question head-on, "Together with the land of nearly 500 million square kilometers in British Myanmar, is it too much to exchange a few hundred million for life-saving money?"

"It's really not too much." Pamela Mountbatten thought deeply, "Do you think the relationship between Britain and them can develop well? Is this beneficial to the security of Malaya?"

Alan Wilson shook his head, "Don't even think about it. A country in a revolutionary stage is unpredictable. And even if we want to, it depends on whether the United States agrees."

"Then do you think the United States is going to dismantle the United Kingdom now, will the United Kingdom be able to handle it?" Pamela Mountbatten changed the question and looked at her husband eagerly.

Alan Wilson thought about it, and said uncertainly, "I think if the United States really turns against us, with the current national strength of the United Kingdom, excluding options other than war, it is absolutely no problem to resist for five to ten years. No more. gone."
