British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 355: They value you very much

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of British Civil Service!

Any country has a privileged department, and as the largest colonial power, the privileged department of the British Empire is the Ministry of Indian Affairs.

Since the emergence of British India, the Ministry of Indian Affairs has been an unstoppable member of the cabinet. There are many ministers, but not so many cabinet ministers.

A British government agency established by the Ministry of Indian Affairs in 1858 in response to a bill of the Indian government which restricted some of the rights of the British East India Company, making India under the direct rule of the British king until independence in 1947 under.

Until the new Indian government bill was put into effect in 1935, it had been able to fully dispose of the huge fiscal revenue of the Indian government.

After 1935, part of British India's fiscal revenue was kept in British India for local construction, which does not mean that the Ministry of Indian Affairs lost this power.

The current Secretary of State for Indian Affairs is the Earl of Listowell, not Alan Wilson boasting. The esteemed Earl should thank him for his hard work in British India. If it weren't for him, India would have been independent for two months.

The Earl of Listowell has long since become Minister of Burmese Affairs, and the credit for the two more months of being Minister of Indian Affairs is all on Alan Wilson.

Haven't heard the saying, time is money, just two months can explain a lot of problems, not to mention now, it's not just a two-month problem.

After the prosperity is full of vicissitudes, everyone knows that the existence of the Ministry of Indian Affairs is numbered on one hand. Although the once prosperous building of the Ministry of Indian Affairs is still busy, the busy work is to work in parallel.

Busy with anxiety, this is the first instinctual reaction of Alan Wilson after arriving at the former headquarters of the privileged department. In fact, when you think about it, you can understand that if the Ministry of Indian Affairs is withdrawn, there will definitely be a problem where some people go.

The current news is that there will be a new department called Commonwealth Relations. Commonwealth refers to the Commonwealth of Nations.

The Commonwealth Department is similar to the French Commonwealth of France, but obviously similar departments in France are stronger. In the 21st century, colonial cultural ties, French-like internal trade preferential policies, and countries that are too determined to break away from French colonization do not even have pencils. stay, the economy is in a state of collapse.

While maintaining the same framework, similar to the French-speaking West African franc, the death of the African president's son participating in the French army training was declared a normal accident, the Paris-Dakar rally, and France was asked to be responsible for the security of the countries.

In these respects, France far surpasses the British Commonwealth, which is also the basis for France's daring to always call for European independence.

Regarding the attitude of colonies, the British Empire obviously sucked blood when it was useful, and let it go and fend for itself when it couldn't **** blood.

Never felt that a huge territory is such a good thing. France is different, no matter whether the development is good or bad, it will never let go if it can.

Before the First World War, whether it was Canada or Australia, there were voices calling for a one-step merger with the United Kingdom, and the British mainland ignored such voices.

To this day, Alan Wilson is sure that the British already know the mistake, and now they even take the initiative to post it. Canada and Australia would also not agree to a merger.

However, the Commonwealth Department is still useful. Many Canadians on the Internet later regard the Commonwealth as the last line of defense against the annexation of Canada by the United States.

If Britain can maintain a certain strength, instead of kneeling to the end.

Countries like Canada and Australia are actually very willing to help the UK. History has proven that when a group has only one country to decide, the leading country will treat its allies as dogs. This is also true within the Five Eyes Alliance.

The problem is that Britain really knelt to the end after World War II. Just like at the end of the Cold War, Mrs. Thatcher told Ge Map that, lacking money, Britain was willing to pay to help the Soviet Union tide over the difficulties. Can't understand the deep meaning.

For Britain, the disintegration of the Soviet Union was just another decline in its status. Perhaps Mrs Thatcher at that time saw a repeat of the history of the decline of Britain's status from the trajectory of Britain's fall after World War II.

When I came to the Ministry of Indian Affairs to report, I just came back to report on work, and soon someone came to the door to find Alan Wilson.

"It's not during the war, so why is it you again." Alan Wilson looked at Philby, the Cambridge Five, and after a few chats, he heard that Philby had been promoted, and congratulated, "Your progress is really impressive. Impressive."

"Be with each other, and you are the same." Philby showed that he was well informed, revealing that Alan Wilson might also be promoted. "By the way, are Maclean and Burgess okay?"

"Fortunately, Commissioner of Ceylon and Burma, what's wrong with running such a big place," Alan Wilson replied. "So where am I going now?"

"This is stumping me. It could be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Department of Federal Relations. Based on your work, it should be the latter, but based on some unproven sources, it seems to be the former." Phil After saying this, Bi paused, "You can only rely on yourself to answer this question."

"I think I should go to the Commonwealth Relations Department." Alan Wilson thought for a while, and felt that his work had more to do with the colonies, and he should have entered the Commonwealth Relations Department as a matter of course.

Then Alan Wilson, who ran for nothing, went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building to report the next day. In fact, it was not far. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Indian Affairs, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs were all in the same block. Alan Wilson was only yesterday. The whole day was circling the headquarters of the Ministry of Indian Affairs.

Diplomacy is an invisible art that determines how a country gets along with the world. Likewise, art is present in every corner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: delicate frescoes, gilded ceilings, lifelike sculptures, ornate marbles.

Art knows no borders or language, and it has become one of the most effective ways of cultural communication. The art decoration in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the embodiment of the image of British diplomacy, and it is also the carrier of its historical status.

The building is more gorgeous than the stage, and it carries a more wonderful history than the drama. This is the magnificent headquarters hall of the British Foreign Office. It is completely different from the decoration style of the Indian Affairs Department. The Indian Affairs Department is decorated in a Mediterranean style. The representative, Alan Wilson, also did not know why the Indian Affairs Department was decorated in a Mediterranean style.

"Welcome back to London, Alan." George Milton, Director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, welcomed Alan Wilson's arrival, first emphasizing the Foreign Office's eagerness for talents, and then said sternly, "After the cabinet secretary's consultation Personal concern, Alan Wilson's rank is deputy secretary-general, which is very surprising, very rare in non-war times. Of course, I also know that you have just got engaged, Alan, and two happy events have come, I believe you are very happy Well. I wanted to give you a gift in the name of a gift, but because of the rules of Whitehall, I can only forget it."

British civil servants are also severely restricted when it comes to receiving gifts. They can only accept low-value and office-useable gifts like notebooks, calendars, pens, and alcohol is strictly prohibited.

At the same time as the gift is returned, the civil servant has to write a letter of polite refusal. If returning a gift would offend the donor, accept it temporarily, but the gift must be reported and kept in the office only.

However, this rule has never been seriously implemented. Alan Wilson does not believe that a director of the personnel department will not be able to come up with a solution, but he does not have the heart to send it, but he still has to express his heart orally.

"I thought I would report to the Commonwealth Relations Department." Alan Wilson frowned and said, "Dear Director, it's not that I'm indifferent to the importance of the empire, but a department that hopes to give full play to its expertise. Obviously, my experience It is accumulated in the colonies, and although similar to diplomatic work, it is not exactly the same."

"It's not completely inconsistent." George Milton changed his tone, returning to Alan Wilson's words, "Diplomacy is an invisible art that determines how a country gets along with the world."

Listening to the typical words, Alan Wilson didn't want to fart out, but said, "But we colonial officials are used to talking with naval guns, and we are not used to talking with other countries on an equal footing."

Coincidentally, George Milton, who was waiting for Alan Wilson's words, directly took out a prepared document and said ~lightnovelpub.net~ Rest assured, it is definitely not an equal attitude, this work is more suitable for you. "

what? With such doubts? Alan Wilson opened it and watched George Milton blurt out, "This is not a joke with me, negotiating with the Soviets, that is indeed not equal, it seems that our side is more vulnerable."

"It can't be said that the British Empire is no worse than the Soviet Union." George Milton was serious and reminded Alan Wilson not to make political mistakes. I am rich in the world, so why can't I be compared with the Soviet Union?

If it hadn't been for this young and malleable civil servant, George Milton would have wanted to directly ask the question of whether this civil servant was reliable.

Alan Wilson looked straight at George Milton with inexplicable eyes, really want to ask, do you believe this? If it is still considered that the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union are on an equal footing, then how did the United Kingdom kneel to the end?

"Alan, the government pays special attention to you, don't let us down." George Milton said solemnly, "You are our person, and you will be able to complete the task satisfactorily. As I said, the audit work itself is what you suggested. , you are so concerned in India, and it is very reasonable for you to handle this matter now."
