"But then again, how was your dissertation preparation? I don't know much about Eastern College, and you know that I am from Cambridge University!" Henry tilted his head and asked with an uncertain look, "Is it true? Similar to seminary? Or similar to our classical literature?"

"Oriental studies is a very broad concept, including but not limited to the disciplines of various other religions and civilizations in China, India and Arabia. Most of the students in it have studied India and Arabia, and my discipline is relatively scarce. It is from Far East China. range, but it doesn't mean that I don't know about British India and Arabia." Alan Wilson also put on a serious tone and drank a drink slowly.

"In fact, the Slavs are also considered the East. Speaking of which, I would like to ask whether Russia or the Soviet Union are Europeans?"

Alan Wilson has wanted to ask this question for a long time. How do these countries in Western Europe view the Soviet Union? In the end is Europe, or not Europe!

"This has stopped me!" Henry thought with embarrassment on his face, "Of course the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. During the First World War, Imperial Russia was of course part of the great Western civilization. The Franco-Russian alliance was on the ground. The attack on Germany took on most of the pressure. Among the most widely circulated goddess propaganda posters, the goddess representing imperial Russia is in the center. But now, the situation is different. The Soviet Union represents the other side of the force. Among them, I think it is more appropriate to think of the Soviet Union as a civilization outside Europe!"

Just when Alan Wilson was about to nod his head to show his understanding, Henry added, "But there are just as many objections. The Soviet Union is of course a part of Europe, but it belongs to another part. In essence, this confrontation is still a In the internal struggles of the civilized world, the Soviet Union should not be regarded as Persia or Turkey, but only the part of the world led by the Soviet Union, including some backward nations.”

"Can I understand that, depending on the situation, the former adopts a realistic attitude, the weak is not Europe, and the strong is Europe. The latter group believes that the Soviet Union is part of Europe no matter what, but part of rebellion?"

Alan Wilson said this, Henry thought for a while and nodded, "Actually, it's not wrong to summarize it?"

"Okay!" Alan Wilson paused, deciding to end the broad topic of Schrödinger's Russia.

The distinction between cultural concepts is such a shit, it's not like science has a clear answer, right is right or wrong is wrong. The concept of culture largely depends on who has the loudest voice.

Therefore, when the hard indicators are not up to standard, many countries like to emphasize the concept of culture. Even India in the 21st century claims to be a cultural powerhouse. It is nonsense to say that the religion it was born has influenced the world for thousands of years.

In the final analysis, there is no universally recognized indicator to divide culture, and it is possible to ignore objective laws and brag about it. From this perspective, Armenia is a cultural power, and Armenia is the first Christian country in the world.

However, for the current Alan Wilson, this is an advantage, and it is easy to fish in troubled waters with the brand of Orientalism.

Although he criticized Oxford University, some, and a small group of lecturers for vegetarian meals, if Alan Wilson was in the other party's position, he would probably choose to go through the process.

Finally, when the relationship between Alan Wilson and his colleagues in Whitehall was warming up day by day, Eastern College asked Alan Wilson to prepare the dissertation for the speech, and carried the dissertation to give a graduation speech on November 3rd. The reason for the Whitehall job.

Although learning a valve is particularly annoying, it's just a process, and it's not a big mistake.

On the contrary, because Alan Wilson already had work experience in Whitehall, the Eastern Academy showed amazing flexibility in this matter, giving a very good stage for Alan Wilson to play.

"I'm really sorry for Brzezinski, your class jump may be a little more difficult because of my appearance." Alan Wilson held the prepared paper and apologized to Brzezinski, who had not yet emerged.

This extremely anti-Soviet keyboard warrior, oh! Geographical masters may have to study harder and improve their professionalism so that they can eat and drink in the United States, otherwise they may be in a difficult situation.

Alan Wilson is actually very suspicious of this so-called master. First of all, this person was born in Poland and belongs to a high class in Poland. It is strange that he likes the influence exerted by the Soviet Union on Poland after the war.

With the idea of ​​hating the Soviet Union, and constantly advising the United States, there is nothing special except that political correctness is worth mentioning.

The final collapse of the Soviet Union made Brzezinski. As far as he knows, almost 80% of Brzezinski's predictions for another country with the same system did not come true.

How come the analysis of a country is completely different from before? Is this master too Schrödinger?

In fact, what he is more funny is that democratization and economic development are put forward together, that is to say, the premise of economic development must give priority to democratization. This is actually not surprising. In his era, this view was politically correct, but People who are called strategists, like others, do not seem to be worthy of the title of strategist.

It is nothing more than a convert who is more loyal in order to integrate into the United States.

Feeling the importance attached to him by Oriental College, Alan Wilson will definitely reciprocate, and mobilized a group of Whitehall colleagues to give speeches on his graduation thesis, which cost a lot of personnel expenses.

However, for the sake of future progress, it is all worthwhile, and all the invited colleagues expressed their willingness to attend.

There are no foolproof secrets in the world, and no one wants to keep them secret, at least not Alan Wilson.

This graduation ceremony, before it even started, has already attracted the attention of a small number of people, especially those who, like Alan Wilson, are interested in politics and are thinking about progress all the time.

"Margaret, have you heard? There will be a large number of Whitehall civil servants present at the graduation ceremony of Oriental College." On the grass field inside Somerville College, a girl said attentively beside another girl, " I know you must be interested in this matter, let's go see it together then?"

"Oh?" Margaret's face full of collagen lifted slightly, her eyes suddenly became bright, and she seemed to be really attracted by the news, "Which day? I must go see it then."

"I'll go with you and see if those people in Whitehall are old and ugly as they say." The girl who spoke also nodded, "Maybe our parents lied to us, and maybe some of them are young and ugly. A capable elite."

"It's not about looking at men, we need to understand the current political elite in London!" Margaret corrected her face sullenly, "Although we are girls, we must think for the country and let politics infiltrate our blood, so that we can be better. Good influence this country in the future, and I am the Conservative chairman of Somerville College."

"Understood, you are a girl who is no less than a man. It's a pity that you have such a beautiful face. If I had your face, there would be many boys who want to be intimate with me." The girl sighed and said, "When the time comes, we will Let's go together, what are you saying at that time, it's not going to end well, I heard that civil servants are neutral to political parties, so don't insist on your own opinions."

"Of course!" Margaret said with a somewhat proud expression, "I'll see what the level of officials in Whitehall is."

"It's like you're the Prime Minister, giggling!" The girl said with a smirk when she heard her friend's words.

"Who said no?" Margaret asked in disbelief when she heard this.

Margaret Hilda Roberts, the Conservative chair of Somerville College, whose father, Alfred Roberts, ran a grocery store in the local town and was passionate about local politics.

Margaret's mother was Patrice Roberts, whose maiden name was Stephenson; she also had a younger sister, Mauriel, from a devout Methodist family.

Influenced by his father as a child, he has a certain understanding of conservative views and positions and has a strong interest in politics.

In order to be able to continue her studies at Oxford University, she spent a year studying Latin, which usually takes four years. Her father raised her as a strict Methodist.

Hearing the news from her friend, Margaret immediately made up her mind that she must go to the Oriental Academy that day to see what the officials working in the political center of the British Empire were like.

If she can know the thoughts of these civil servants~lightnovelpub.net~, it must be of great benefit to her future development.

As for the current Alan Wilson, he is still knocking down Brzezinski and running all the way on the road with 10,000 feet.

He was going to call some of his colleagues to go to the Oriental Academy to be strong, but he also thought of this level. He never thought that there were other people who wanted to improve, and when he heard the news, he wanted a share of the pie.

Alan Wilson wouldn't be happy if he knew, the person who wants to improve too much and the other person who wants to improve too much usually don't have much in common.

On November 3, the sky in London can be considered clear if the haze causes are not considered. The temperature of about 10 degrees is not unbearable, although it is not as warm and pleasant as British India, but the sense of happiness is comparable. Compared with northern and eastern Europe, Londoners have no reason to complain.

There were a lot of cars parked on the street outside the Oriental Academy, which was a little different from usual, and it looked very lively.

Due to the delay of the war, it was not that there were no delayed graduation ceremonies during the period after the station, but today was obviously a bit unusual, and the entire Oriental Academy was in a warm atmosphere.
