British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 161: Turing

"If you have time, come here often, and treat this as your own home. Oh, Alan, don't always express the so-called kindness." Edwina Ashley whispered as Alan Wilson was sent to the door. , but in the end he said some unfinished words.

"Eh?" Alan Wilson frowned, savoring Edwina Ashley's words, as if there was something wrong and nothing?

"This guy!" Edwina Ashley pursed her lips and shook her head, her eyes full of pity. "Maybe I'm still in the dark, I don't know how deeply my image in Paris is."

Because the public party came to power, the current Minister of Indian Affairs has of course changed. The current Minister of Indian Affairs is Lord Persik-Lawrence, but Persic-Lawrence did not become the Minister of Indian Affairs because of his knowledge of British India. .

On the contrary, Pessic-Lawrence was a well-known women's movement activist who inspired the women's liberation movement. The background of how politically correct, in Alan Wilson's view, has nothing to do with colonial affairs.

But this is democracy, and a person who is zealous in supporting women's liberation can also be Minister of Indian Affairs.

Leaving the Ministry of Indian Affairs, Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building again. Alexander Cadogan, the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was not seen at all, with an expression like you were here, "Alan, I'm back for graduation, I'm here. Think about it, maybe get a medal and get ready to go to New Delhi, right?"

"Uh, can I be right?" Alan Wilson's face was uncertain, not knowing what medicine the other party sold in the gourd.

"That's it, I'm about to leave for San Francisco to lead the professional civil servants of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and leave a deep impression on the official signing of the United Nations." Alexander Cadogan first expressed his longing for the San Francisco conference, and then changed the topic. , "I have to say that at the end of the war, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was even more busy than it was during the war. During the war, I didn't feel that the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was expanding, but now I have this idea."

Is this to expand the scope of recruitment? Alan Wilson asked himself that even this thought is perfectly normal.

Politicians often make good promises at election time, such as downsizing their departments. But the head of the civil service has always hoped that the bigger his department is, the better. Alexander Cadogan, as the head of the civil service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has this kind of thinking is normal.

However, Alan Wilson guessed wrong, Alexander Cadogan just expressed his hope that Alan Wilson would help him, taking into account the private affairs of graduation and the official affairs of receiving foreign guests, because he had done similar work before.

"Receiving foreign guests?" Alan Wilson asked suspiciously. "Sir Alexander, I'm going back to New Delhi. And when have I ever done a similar job?"

"Oh, Ellen. You need a medal and a dissertation. It's no big deal to receive foreign guests. This also shows that the Empire values ​​you. You must know that the busier the civil servant, the higher the status." Alexander Cadogan He opened his mouth and encouraged, "For example, I am busy with the United Nations right now. This is something you can't understand."

Maybe I really can't understand your hard work in preparing the UN speech for a month!

The door of the office was pushed open, and a man with a Mediterranean hairstyle walked in. He was very surprised that Alan Wilson was here. He took a deep look and then seemed to remember something, and said hello, "Alan?"

This time back in London, Alan Wilson had an illusion that he seemed to be well-known, and hesitantly said, "Dear Sir, may I ask, who are you?"

"Alexander's colleague!" George Middleton, Director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, slapped a haha, learned the ins and outs from Alexander Cadogan, nodded and let Alan Wilson sit down, with a gentle expression on his face, "Alan, In fact, given the current situation, we can say that the existence of the Ministry of Indian Affairs is still unknown. I think you are a smart person. In order to better serve the British Empire in the future, you should always take responsibility bravely and train to become a seasoned person. diplomat."

"Once the Ministry of Indian Affairs is abolished, with a glorious resume, you can enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as you wish, right?"

Is this a threat? Alan Wilson asked himself, as if the Director of Personnel at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs really meant something like that.

"I have always had an extraordinary enthusiasm for my work. As long as the empire needs me, I can do anything." Alan Wilson's face was full of sincere smiles, expressing that he was willing to take responsibility and use it to take responsibility.

"I won't force it?" George Middleton asked knowingly. "Our Foreign Office has always been very democratic."

"Absolutely not reluctantly." Alan Wilson's answer was unequivocal, fully demonstrating the professionalism of the imperial civil servants, George Middleton nodded in approval, and let a stack of documents leave Alexander Cadogan's office.

Who let people manage personnel affairs, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Alan Wilson understands this truth.

The director of the personnel department first has two rights to make people smile, to implement the imperial civil service system, and to be responsible for the job classification, examination and recruitment, assessment, job promotion, rewards and punishments, wages and benefits, retirement and power protection of imperial civil servants.

The second is to carry out a certain level of civil servant management and appointment and removal; macro-manage the administrative personnel and professional and technical personnel of public institutions; be responsible for the evaluation of professional and technical positions in enterprises and institutions.

"George was joking with you." Alexander Cadogan showed his broad-mindedness in a timely manner, and when someone slapped him, he could give him a sweet date, "It doesn't matter whether the Ministry of Indian Affairs will exist or not, and no matter how long it will exist. , In the days to come, many colleagues from the Ministry of Indian Affairs will definitely work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Allen can rest assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs talents like you."

"It's like this, I'm going to San Francisco in the middle of the month to sign the UN documents, and I don't need to tell you, Alan, you understand how important a stage this is, and nothing can distract me at this time." Alexander Cadogan said Looking at his own itinerary, he said that this matter is of great significance.

Alan Wilson nodded, remembering Alexander Cadogan as if he would later be the British ambassador to the United Nations.

"But at this time, the Red Flag ensemble of Alexandria, who is visiting Paris, will arrive in London in the middle of the month. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary take this very seriously. But the United Nations cannot be delayed. I need someone who has dealt with the Soviets. Diplomats are in charge of the reception," hinted Alexander Cadogan. "He has to have extraordinary energy, quick thinking, and most importantly, reliability."

When Alan Wilson heard it, he carefully recalled his work in recent months. It seems that he has heard the evaluation of reliability more than once. It seems that in the civil service system, the top evaluation is not about professionalism and style, but reliability.

"I will definitely complete the reception work very reliably." Alan Wilson also gave a reliable answer.

"Very good, by the way, go to the MI6 Bureau to receive the medal. I will arrange your graduation." Alexander Cadogan said with a gratified expression, as if I was very optimistic about you.

With the end of the war, the award ceremony to reward meritorious personnel during the war has also been put on the agenda. The award has nothing to do with Alan Wilson, but because of the provision of important information on Pearl Harbor, he has a medal to receive.

Because it is an outstanding achievement on the secret front, in order to hide his merits and fame, a certain degree of confidentiality must be taken into account. The place where Alan Wilson received the medal is MI6.

After Alan Wilson arrived at MI6, there were also several people waiting there, either chatting or silently alone. Among them was a man who looked young, sitting quietly on a chair. .

Seeing that the crowd was in full swing, and he might not be able to speak when he went there, Alan Wilson sat down next to the man who seemed a little isolated and introduced himself, "Alan Wilson, is Mr. Alan Wilson here to receive the medal too? "

"Yes, you too? Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Alan Mathison Turing." Turing extended his hand and said friendly, "I'll just call you Wilson, it's a bit strange to call your name."

"Turing!" When Alan Wilson called Turing's name, there was some vibrato in his voice. This is a famous figure, the father of computer?

After the outbreak of World War II, Turing enlisted in the army and began to serve in the intelligence center, whose main task was to decipher the German code. The intelligence he deciphered played a key role in important military operations such as the Normandy landing~lightnovelpub.net~ After the famous German encryption system Engmar was put into the war, the German submarine force equipped with Engmar sank the Allied forces. With more than a thousand ships, the Allied military supply line in the North Atlantic was facing annihilation because the German code could not be deciphered in a short period of time.

It's a pity that such a genius committed suicide just because of his gender. Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that he was gay, he did not show discrimination.

It's nothing to be afraid of. The two comrades of Cambridge Five and Alan Wilson have all met. As long as they don't disturb him, there will be no problem. Maybe when a country is going downhill, something like this happens, and a computer genius is forced to commit suicide because of this.

Alan Wilson felt regretful in his heart, and chatted with Turing. When Turing talked about cracking Ingmar, it seemed that he had become another person, different from the quiet just now.

"Oh, I forgot, Wilson, how did you get the Japanese intelligence." Turing asked with interest.

God sense! Alan Wilson wanted to say that, but no one believed it, just said that it was discovered by accident through intelligence personnel, and it was incomparable to Turing.
