British Civil Servant

v1 Chapter 428: Outside the market

"I heard that Mr. Gandhi is dead!" After some whispers, Hillencott asked the subordinates who came in to report the letter to go out, preparing a heavy tone, facing Alan Wilson.

"Really!" Alan Wilson was beaming, but his face changed immediately, with a sullen expression on his face. "I mean, it's a tragedy, Mr. Gandhi is such a respectable man."

"Oh, it's really a tragedy." As soon as he saw the British guy's expression, Major General Hillencott knew what the other party was really thinking, "Mr. Gandhi's death is a loss to the whole world."

"I agree with this very much." Alan Wilson pursed his lips, unwilling to destroy the atmosphere at this time, "The departure of the Mahatma who guards the harmony between nature and human beings in India is a loss for the entire human race."

"That's the truth!" Major General Hillencott realized that, in reality, only the urban middle class had to worry about protecting the countryside, because they didn't have to live there.

Major General Hillencott awarded the medal by the way, in recognition of Alan Wilson's achievements during the war, but also for political considerations. After all, although a medal is precious, it is still very cheap compared with the relationship between countries. .

Alan Wilson is Mountbatten's son-in-law, and Mountbatten has now returned to London. According to current information, the experience of British India will have no effect on Mountbatten's own career.

This is the fact that many people here are discussing Mountbatten's personal aspirations and future job arrangements. Some said he might go into politics, some said he might go into business; others said he would serve as a civilian defense secretary. In fact, such speculations are far from limitless.

Mountbatten's determination to return to the navy has never wavered. His ambition is simply to inherit his father's business and eventually become First Sea Lord. And in order to achieve this ambition of his own, he has only one way to go - to return to the Royal Navy.

On the third day after returning home, Mountbatten applied to the head of the navy. Since Mountbatten's military status in the Royal Navy has been retained, he naturally has no obstacles to come back, but it is quite a headache for the naval leaders to arrange a suitable position for him in the strict Royal Navy. He has served as Supreme Allied Commander in the Southeast Asian theater, and has just been governor of India.

Finally, at the insistence of Mountbatten himself, he was able to return to the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and continue to be the commander of his first cruiser fleet, taking into account the safety of the Suez Canal, which is well known to the United Kingdom. The significance of this is very important.

Among the military bases in northern Newfoundland, plus Canada, the intelligence cooperation meeting of the three countries has been held.

Although Alan Wilson is the local chief executive and a member of MI6, he is not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, and of course he is not interested. There is also the boss of the Cambridge Five in the meeting. Intelligence personnel joined, even more ironic.

When he had this opportunity, he might as well greet his father-in-law. After all, Mountbatten happened to be in charge of the Suez Canal. In fact, he looked at the causes and consequences of the Suez Canal War alone.

Alan Wilson felt that the outbreak of the war was very nonsensical. If he really told him the truth, judging from the reaction of the Prime Minister, Robert Anthony Eden, when the Suez War broke out, his first intuitive reflection was that the Prime Minister was betraying the country. .

Maybe this kind of reaction doesn't make sense, but the key is that Prime Minister Aiden's back and forth are too similar, a traitor who has broken into our country, and there is no reason for the outbreak.

Regardless of whether it was a Conservative party traitorous move, Alan Wilson felt that Mountbatten's return to the Mediterranean Fleet was a good thing for him, and he heard that his old boss, Sir Barron, had gone to the Persian Gulf, which was great.

Civil servants who serve the empire faithfully can always find a suitable place to continue to shine.

Alan Wilson, with the Medal of Merit for Excellence in Intelligence, is still cultivating his own one-third of an acre of land while conducting intelligence conferences in the north. Every day, a ship of wood arrives in Europe from the port.

"I didn't expect you to have this credit?" Ingrid Bergman fiddled with the medal awarded to Alan Wilson, tsk tsk admiringly, "I didn't expect a person like you to be a war hero."

"What do you call a person like me? What's wrong with me!" Alan Wilson was reluctant to hear it. "Ingrid, let's say in our conscience, I'm fine with anyone I know. This is the test of time. of."

"It's true, but it's too good." Ingrid Bergman said without hesitation, she was really afraid that she would become pregnant if she continued to stay in Newfoundland, "You little idiot, take Vivian and us Is it a sense of achievement to be a swindler, and all the things learned in the field of intelligence are used by us."

"I can't say that, is it wrong for me to follow my own heart? Any male, facing a woman like you, it is normal to have some thoughts." Ellen Wilson said, and began to look at Ingrid Bauer. Man's big heart is arched, and he does not deny the fact that he follows his heart.

"I really can't help you..." There were whispers in the room, followed by the sound of clothes falling.

Before Vivien Leigh and the others came back, the two had become bone-setting. Ingrid Bergman's face was flushed, and she was obviously quite satisfied with Alan Wilson's craftsmanship.

The simple and boring life of the Governor of Newfoundland continues, just as the financial situation of Newfoundland is gradually easing, and it is developing for the better.

After all, when it was time to leave, the four distinguished guests from Hollywood had completed their shooting tasks in Newfoundland and were about to return to the United States to find TV stations to cooperate with them to broadcast the promotional film.

At the last moment, Vivien Leigh simply stopped pretending and lived directly opposite the Governor's Palace. She hoped that in the last moment in Newfoundland, a man could put her arms around her and put her to sleep.

Ellen Wilson sent these actresses to the port the next day. Considering Vivien Leigh's mood, he said, "I have a job in the Boston consulate. After Newfoundland is on the right track, I will find an opportunity to visit you in the United States."

"Must go!" Vivien Leigh whispered, "The bright flowers also need careful care."

"That's right, I'm the kind of cow dung that's so powerful." Alan Wilson said proudly, not minding the self-deprecation at all, "It's more beautiful to support the blooming of many flowers. In fact, it's me who should be worried, I It's just a humble social tool, how can it compare with you actresses who are admired by thousands of people?"

"Is it a sense of crisis? Would you like Vivian to embroider your name on your underwear, so that you can get in touch." Ingrid Bergman leaned over, full of tiger and wolf words, which confused Vivien Leigh. Excuse me.

"You can have such a reputation in Hollywood. There is no other explanation other than the excellent appearance." Alan Wilson took a deep breath, not knowing whether he should be angry or not. Being angry seems to be too trivial, but if there is no response , This breath is a little bit hard to swallow.

Until a few actresses got on the boat, Alan Wilson was still standing on the dock with his waist on his back. Why did he get more angry the more he thought about it?

Alan Wilson's job in Newfoundland has become perfect. After all, in a place with less than 200,000 citizens, he has returned to his old business.

The subtle manipulation of public opinion has provoked a discussion about whether it is better to maintain the current state or restore the state of the Dominion. The containment has left the option of merging Canada.

This implicitly excludes Canada from options for future discussions. There are only two options left. Either stand alone as a Dominion or become part of the United Kingdom.

The advantage of being a Dominion is that the Newfoundland lumber that hits the European market, as well as the proceeds from Newfoundland's own fishing grounds, is owned by Newfoundland itself.

The advantage of maintaining the status quo is that the vast European market, with the help of the British mainland, can make it easier for Newfoundland products to enter, and the United Kingdom is far away. In fact, Newfoundland is still autonomous, and it can also borrow the Royal Navy to protect Newfoundland. The Newfoundland fishing grounds, in general, have their own advantages.

Of course, Attlee's announcement that a welfare society has been established is also under discussion, which can be regarded as adding to the theory of maintaining the status quo.

This kind of work is no stranger to Alan Wilson. As early as when he worked in British India, he was very familiar with this kind of work, but he used to fight each other in the tone of Indians. Now he is a New Zealander. The Finnish population is fighting right and left.

Of course, this is still far from enough~lightnovelpub.net~ After Mountbatten returned to China, Pamela Mountbatten also returned with success, and has already sent a telegram, saying that she will take time to visit her fiancé.

Alan Wilson of course expressed his thoughts in the telegram, but he also complained in a timely manner, saying that he did not want to end his first overseas job as the last Newfoundland Chief Executive, like his fiancee's father. .

The tone of Alan Wilson in the telegram was very aggrieved, as if he had been persecuted by Whitehall.

"Where can I help you?" After receiving another telegram from Pamela Mountbatten, Alan Wilson knew it was time for a true confession.

"If at an appropriate time, our honorable Crown Prince and his wife can come to Newfoundland, it may have a very enthusiastic response to the local residents. At that time, the Newfoundland residents who have revived the economy will also feel the Crown Prince and his wife. attention, then in the referendum, there is likely to be a biased referendum result.”

A day later, Pamela Mountbatten's telegram reached St. John's again, which read, "I will find an opportunity to discuss this matter with Elizabeth. The exploration company has shares of the Crown Prince, and she should not refuse me. "
