British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 392: big brother is looking at me

Alan Wilson is also like a hard-working bee, working together with representatives of various countries. This is an unfamiliar territory for the United Kingdom. Fortunately, he himself has no historical burden.

Yes, historical burden! In fact, American exceptionalism is not an American mentality.

This kind of mentality that they think they are superior, but in fact they are not so high, can be found in all countries. Arabs are proud of the glorious Arab empire, Indians claim that Hinduism is the mother of religions, and Egypt likes to mention the Egyptian pyramids.

Of course, the side effect is the questioning of other civilizations, so there are new members of the party. It must be admitted that this small conspiracy-like side effect is not in the way of the big picture, but the mentality is there.

In their hearts, the British believed that the United Kingdom could not be compared with other countries, so they showed their adherence to the continental equilibrium policy. In the final analysis, this mentality was cultivated from the beginning of the bourgeois revolution!

From Magna Carta's explicit restriction of monarchical power, until the industrial revolution took off, it's easy to say, as if any country on earth can replicate it, but in fact it's just a kind of psychological comfort from other countries.

Not to mention other civilizations, even in European countries separated by only one English Channel, the British still think that Britain is more advanced than them. When the British revolution occurred, the monarchy and the nobility and the balance of their rights gradually became clear.

On the European continent at this time, it was just the opposite. The monarchies of various countries gradually got rid of the shackles of the past and became almost absolute despotism. In France, Spain, the German Empire and other places, the monarchy has suppressed the feudal aristocracy and no longer protects the freedom of the commoners.

The arrogant nobles had no sense of failure anymore. They gathered around the king, watching the king's flamboyant pomp and taking pride in it; the timid people were more willing to live in such an order, because the monarch's rule was the opposite. Bring them happiness that they have never enjoyed before, they work hard to get rich and increase their knowledge, but they don't have the idea of ​​going to the government to seek a position.

When the United Kingdom was in the revolution, the popular divine right of monarchy in Europe, of course, is not only in Europe, the monarchy of other civilizations has no boundaries. This is the overall situation of the whole world, and the United Kingdom is just an outlier at the edge of the world.

But even the United Kingdom, which is a marginal area in Europe, used the countries that stood in front of its own country as stepping stones in the following days, and gradually built an empire on which the sun never sets.

With this kind of mentality, it is clear why after the end of the World War, Britain lost the throne of world hegemony, just like losing its soul, sitting on the side of the bench and watching other countries surpass itself one by one.

Once it reaches the peak, it is not easy to shrink. The United Kingdom is still a sober person, and the United States in a few decades has never thought of shrinking.

Facing the same difficulties, the current Prime Minister Attlee chose to shrink, and let British India, which has the highest income but also the highest investment, let go first and use its strength to defend the place that can be defended.

London's job requirements for Alan Wilson have only two simple points, get the maximum number and strive for the fewest additional conditions. Alan Wilson did the same. If there are only one less competitor, he doesn't care about the ideas of Eastern European countries. Anyway, the Marshall Plan in history did not have them.

In Paris, he focused on attracting the three lowland countries, namely the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Because nominally, every country is equal, the Lowland Three is a natural political bloc, and it is very easy for the three countries to unify a common consensus.

In addition to the three lowland countries, the Nordic countries represented by Sweden have a large number and small differences of opinion, which is the advantage of these countries.

In front of the Swedish representative, Alan Wilson loudly praised Sweden's defense policy, which had survived the world war. At the same time, he also said that he appreciates Swedish culture very much, and also knows that Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman are Swedish.

"Mr. Allen is very kind. Britain's leadership over the world for hundreds of years is very admirable." The Swedish representative in turn touted Britain and expressed his hope that Britain would support Sweden's neutral policy.

"There is no leadership. After all, in the eyes of many countries, any country can have an industrial revolution. The industrial revolution just fell from the sky and just hit the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson said with a reserved look, "Although the British aristocrats When fighting against the king, people from other countries crawl under the king's feet and kiss their shoes, but what does it matter? It's over anyway, they can forget about history and pretend to have fought for their rights."

Properly expressed the attitude of traditional British people towards other countries, Alan Wilson also expressed the realistic side, expressing understanding for Sweden's neutral policy, although it is not supportive.

Don't look at the Nordic countries a few decades later, biting at Russia like they have lost their minds. But the current Nordic countries will never show such a terminal illness. Russia is not the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is too strong.

The attitudes of Scandinavian countries during the Cold War were that Norway, Denmark were pro-Western, Finland was pro-Soviet, and Sweden was in the middle of armed neutrality. Among them, Norway and Denmark were weak, and the most ruthless among the Nordic countries were Finland and Sweden. There are industrial layouts in these two countries, and the defense industry is very strong.

Alan Wilson expressed his understanding of Sweden's policy of armed neutrality, and at the same time instilled a bit of private goods, saying that Finland, which can also beat the Nordics, is now obedient to the Soviet Union, which is a lesson for Sweden.

"If, I mean, if a war breaks out in Europe, who does the UK think is the victor at present." The representative of Sweden asked with some malicious intent.

"The United States, the United States has a nuclear bomb." Alan Wilson gave a straightforward reply, admiring the effect of the system zeroing bomb.

After exchanging views with the Low Countries and the Nordic countries, Alan Wilson arrived at the US delegation.

Talking about the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, and now that there are pro-Soviet political forces in European countries, the prospect is very worrying. Only the United Kingdom and the United States can work together to maintain the value of the free world.

When other people beg for food, they are really begging, but Alan Wilson is different. He sincerely safeguards the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. It means that the strength of the Soviet Union has become more and more high, and the United States must not ignore this situation and continue to develop.

"The French people's concerns are justified, so we shouldn't put Italy on the aid list before the results of the Italian election, or develop the Soviet Union with American money, which I believe is not what Washington wants to see."

Assistant Secretary of State McCaul nodded solemnly and said, "We have long noticed the worrying development trend in France and Italy, so this aid plan is also designed to allow Europe to avoid such consequences."

Sure enough, Pierre's performances were all in vain. Because of his two words, the United States would not pay attention to the Italian Communist Party in Italy and ignore the French Communist Party. It seems that the French Communist Party has a high momentum, but there is one condition that Italy does not have. Although de Gaulle is annoying, as long as he is there, France will not become a country like the Soviet Union, while Italy has no such person. For the most part, the leaders of the Italian Communist Party seem to be the most popular ones.”

Italy's Catholic Democratic Party, Alan Wilson is known to be the main party that will suppress the Italian Communist Party for decades to come.

But Americans do not know, Alan Wilson said that the situation in Italy cannot be said to be safe.

Because in the last general election, the Catholic Democrats' approval rate was 35 percent. The Communist Party of Italy is also supported by one-third of Italians. Judging from the election results, the Catholic Democratic Party cannot be said to be the winner. Who knows what the next election will be like?

With only a 35% approval rating, the Catholic Democratic Party has already kicked the Italian Communist Party out of the government with the support of the United States. What if the Italian Communist Party is re-elected and makes a comeback?

McCall nodded. The numbers don't lie. The situation in Italy does seem to be a little more dangerous than in France.

When the representatives of various countries joined forces, the Soviet Union also began to counterattack in public opinion, attacking the term Finnishization. The rebuttal article in Pravda stated, "From the current situation, there is no such thing as a Britain is more in line with the definition of Finnishization, wagging its tail at the United States for a little bone. It also mentioned Churchill's Iron Curtain speech before, saying that Britain's incitement to war is ruining the hard-won peace~lightnovelpub.net ~Because of the term Finnishization, war of words began between European countries, and Eastern European countries also began to support the Soviet Union one after another, questioning the Marshall Plan, and questioning that this was an advanced version of the plundering of Europe by the United States.

While this is true, countries that desperately need an infusion of dollars simply won't admit to the accusation. Britain, in particular, said it was not under any pressure from the United States.

At the same time as London's remarks, Alan Wilson was discussing the issue of foreign exchange control with the United States. "Now the Soviet bloc is watching every move of the United Kingdom. If we make too many concessions, we will not be able to explain to the citizens of the country."

At present, the United Kingdom has a problem of fiscal deficit, but it depends on who it is compared with. Compared with the gold reserves obtained by the United States through the World War, the gold in the hands of the United Kingdom is not much. However, it is still the largest in Europe. At present, the treasury has 1,500 tons of gold, which is three times that of France. The country with the largest gold reserves in Europe besides the United Kingdom is Switzerland.

As for Switzerland's role in the world war, whether it is really neutral, all countries are clear.

Through the Soviet bloc's collective attack on the United Kingdom because of a Finnish rhetoric, Alan Wilson said that every move of the United Kingdom is now magnified under the microscope, and now the influence of the Soviet Union is clear to all European countries. I hope the United States will understand London's present Difficulties.
