British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 158: Confidentiality

"Britain has always admired France's sacrifice during World War I." Perhaps knowing that he had made a blunder, Alan Wilson immediately took a remedial attitude, praising France's sacrifice during World War I, and also remembering Friendship in war in the trenches.

France still has to win over. With the help of Britain itself, it will soon be crushed to pieces in the cracks between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson is really a European faction, hoping that the British Empire will avoid the fate of becoming a sidekick.

The remarks brought tears to Nino Bertrand's eyes, and the surrounding diplomats even burst into applause, toasting the friendship between Britain and France that fought side by side during the First World War.

On the last night in Brussels, the reception was filled with an atmosphere of unity and deep hope for a better tomorrow.

Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges was still sitting on the sidelines with a bystander attitude, watching the lively reception. Given his age, he should stay away from such occasions, tasting whisky when there were few people.

After the reception, Edward Bridges asked Alan Wilson to be called to his room for no particular reason. He was going back to London tomorrow and wanted to talk to a few people this evening. m

There were only a few people who could talk, and most of the topics were business affairs. From colonization to reconstruction, time passed little by little.

"But having said that, there is one thing our Prime Minister agrees with Mr. Churchill, and that is his assessment of General Charles de Gaulle, which is surprisingly consistent, this nasty bastard." Alexander Cadogan shrugged, "Why does this general have so many problem, and it always embarrassed us."

"His stubbornness is more conspicuous than his height." Edward Bridges said calmly, "If you are the leader of a country, even if you have some doubts in your heart, but certainly not Publicly proclaimed, it is somewhat incomprehensible that de Gaulle always expressed doubts about London's intentions. There is no doubt that the Commodore was a nuisance from our point of view."

"Respected Sir Edward, Sir Alexander, General de Gaulle is indeed a difficult role to deal with. But we should not be too anxious. The Fourth Republic is also a parliamentary country. Perhaps there are countless people in France who are willing to involve this French hero. Attention." Alan Wilson did not express his opinion until after both of his immediate superiors had given their opinion, and the fort was breached from within.

The current French political system, but the parliamentary system of the Fourth Republic of France, and the political instability in France can be said to be not a matter of the twentieth century. It can be traced back a century.

Paris is known as an old revolutionary area, and Paris itself is definitely a dominant position in France. Since modern times, Paris has been the unique economic, political, cultural and artistic center of France.

Lyon, the second largest city, cannot be compared at all. In this case, the Parisians will naturally develop a certain arrogance. Almost from the end of the Bourbon dynasty, the provincials have become their slightly mocking reference to all French outside Paris. Salutation, think they are rustic.

This arrogance of the Parisians made them very dissatisfied with almost all governments, and at some point these dissatisfactions turned into anarchist riots, or even revolutions, overthrowing a dynasty.

This is not the first time in French history. The newly established French Fourth Republic seems to have had twenty-two governments in twelve years. In Alan Wilson's impression, this is more than the Japanese changing prime ministers. quick.

If it weren't for the fact that French politics had been in a state of instability for two hundred years, either revolution or restoration, and repeated internal struggles, Britain would not have been so easy to suppress France. The fastest mobile terminal update:

"I hope those mature politicians in France can be like our British politicians and let de Gaulle return to a leisurely life as soon as possible." Edward Bridges said helplessly, holding his glass, "Mr. Churchill is now He is much more lively, and after he became a backbencher again, he lost ten years, and Congress can always hear his angry shouts."

"That's right. According to the Foreign Secretary, the foreign affairs area is the area where Mr. Churchill is most dissatisfied." Alexander Cadogan echoed with a smile, "He accused the Labour government of being an agent of the Soviet Union."

"Oh, what do the voters think?" Edward Bridges asked with anticipation when he heard it.

"The situation is more complicated. Conservative newspapers say the prime minister serves the Soviet Union, and pro-Labor newspapers say the former prime minister serves the United States." Alexander Cadogan said, holding back his laughter.

"In fact, there are so many problems. If the Soviet Union wanted to get news from London, it would just have to find two British Communist backbenchers. Pollitt will tell Stalin everything he knows." Edward Bridges Speaking of this, he turned around, "Of course we don't want to get involved in the party, and let these lawmakers with different views solve the problem themselves."

At present, there are more than 50,000 members of the British Communist Party. In the 1945 election, two party members entered the parliament and became backbenchers. Just like Churchill's role now, it is the backbencher who adds to the ruling party. the greatest pleasure.

However, the relationship between the British Republican Party and the Labour Party is not bad. Prime Minister Attlee also claims to be a socialist. At present, in the UK, the voice of the Conservative Party for being tough on the Soviet Union is still within the controllable range.

If the discord between the No. 1 and No. 2 figures in the Labour Party is not considered, Edward Bridges feels that the Labour Party should not encounter any difficulties in a short period of time. Of course, this also depends on whether the international environment is favorable for the Labour Party to govern.

On September 23, the Brussels Conference, aimed at maintaining European solidarity, officially closed. Apart from a six-nation common declaration that no one could fault, all that was left was an appeal.

But when it comes to defending Europe, a small step in Brussels is a giant leap for the European people. Britain pulled France's plan not to join the European Foreign Legion, and also to see how the United States and the Soviet Union responded.

The Soviet Union's response was flat, and the US's response was not worth studying. However, the current attitude of the United States and the Soviet Union can only be said to be superficial. The United States, which has suddenly reached the top of the world, has faced a lot of things.

It takes time to build any power, not to mention that the United States has not yet reached a consensus on world leadership under the new situation. This has not yet been taken into account. The bureaucrats who take a few months to come up with a mature plan are procrastinating. effect.

The road to America's human beacon has just begun. Compared with Britain and France, which still retain a certain strength, the situation in Europe seems to be relatively stable, but the world's largest civil war is already brewing, and the Americans are showing the world for the first time in the Far East. The hand of hegemonic leadership.

The Far East has indeed involved a lot of energy in the United States now. The Soviet Union and the United States are also constantly fighting over the Korean Peninsula and Hokkaido issues. These are things that cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Although the World War was over, for the governments of various countries in 1945, the schedule was still full.

Take the immediate events as an example. The United Kingdom, which has just concluded the Brussels Conference, has to witness the establishment of the United Nations and rush to San Francisco to formally sign the United Nations Charter.

As early as the previous meeting, the United States and the Soviet Union had already started a confrontation on the operating mechanism of the United Nations.

As we all know, the one-vote veto is the cornerstone of the United Nations. It is precisely because of the one-vote veto that the five permanent members can comply with the principle of unanimity of major powers when it comes to substantive resolutions of the Security Council other than procedural ones, thus maintaining the international pattern. Stablize.

However, because the one-vote veto is too important, some powerful countries are rushing for the status of permanent members, while other countries with insufficient power simply propose to cancel the one-vote veto.

The one-vote veto power was determined by the Soviet Union, because other countries could be regarded as allies of the United States.

At Yalta, both the UK and the US agreed with a veto claim.

After the Brussels meeting, all participating countries, except Spain, are preparing to travel to San Francisco.

Alan Wilson returned to British occupation and began to prepare for the handover, while wiping his **** in the meantime. To prevent the latecomers from being idle, and to expose the fact that they have robbed themselves in the occupied area~lightnovelpub.net~ I heard that the Soviet Union sent a singing group to start a visit to Paris. I wonder what the French and the Soviets are doing? "In the British-occupied area, the deputy secretary generals of the two trade committees still have time to care about the affairs of another country.

Alan Wilson, who has just returned to Bonn, has been busy destroying criminal records for the past few days. How can he manage such trivial matters. For example, he is doing business now, because the first month's profit of the Heilmann Tobacco Factory has come out. , he is looking at his colleagues in the trade committee, if they are clean, don't swallow the share of British India.

"Alan, at the Brussels meeting, is there a resolution on the British-occupied area?" Tim Brand saw that Alan Wilson did not respond, and turned to ask another question.

"In principle, there is no comment." Alan Wilson flipped through the accounts and replied without thinking, "With regard to the status and management of the British-occupied areas, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretary mean that it is directly managed by the Trade Commission. Cooperate with the deployment agency in London to draw in the complementarity of British India and the British-occupied area, and fly together to drive local employment. As a person with a sense of confidentiality, I have nothing to say.”

"Very confidential." Harold slapped his thigh and praised him without hesitation.
