At the same time, the documents that were sent to McMillan, as well as the Anglo-Egyptian naval military exercise and the official opening of the Zanzibar military base to Egypt, and the Anglo-Portuguese Indian Ocean military exercise jointly formulated with the Ministry of Defense, two military exercises will be held in the future. carried out during the year.

In a sense, these two military exercises are very important, and the significance of the Suez Canal in Egypt to whether the British Empire is a global empire is naturally self-evident.

The significance of the Anglo-Portuguese Indian Ocean military exercise will not be that bad. The Salazar government in Portugal has a firm attitude towards the maintenance of the colony.

Therefore, at an appropriate time, Britain should also show its sincerity and support Portugal's interests. The British Malayan colony is positioned as an industrial production base, and it can still gain a lot of benefits through the existence of Goa. It is an excellent window for entering the Indian market.

"Alan, it seems that you were the one who reached the land replacement treaty with Portugal." McMillan recalled this incident, and commented meaningfully, "You had this idea at the time?"

"In India, that line is called the Wilson line." Alan Wilson shirked responsibility without any trace. There have been many epic stories about the fight against the drought, and in order to save millions of lives, I have been pressured to agree to Portugal's conditions, and I have no choice but to do so."

Speaking of this, Allen Wilson is confident, who is he for, and isn't it to save some people from dying?

Only in this way did Portugal agree to the conditions for land replacement, turning the more than 3,000 square kilometers of Goa into today's Portuguese-owned Goa of nearly 30,000 square kilometers.

As for the current Portuguese Hindus, what does it have to do with themselves? Who made India's policy problematic after independence? The peace believers sought protection from the Portuguese, which changed the population ratio of Goa.

That's not the problem of Britain, but the problem of Portugal and India. As for which problem is bigger, he doesn't know.

The Labor Party government's policy towards Egypt is mainly to buy and win over. It is already 1959, nearly fifteen years have passed since the end of World War II, and the Conservative Party has just regained power. Judging from Macmillan's attitude, he tends to inherit the Labor Party's foreign policy with only minor adjustments.

This can only be said to be partially due to Macmillan's factors, because the current Prime Minister Eden was once the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The current prime minister was originally the foreign minister, so it remains to be studied whose idea it is to inherit part of the Labor Party's foreign policy.

Although Macmillan is the prime minister after Eden according to history, the job that Eden is familiar with is also diplomatic work, which makes the current foreign secretary Macmillan very embarrassed. The prime minister has worked in the same field with him.

After taking office, Aiden basically entrusted the affairs related to the economy to the team headed by the chancellor of the exchequer Rabo Butler, and devoted his energy to the familiar diplomatic field.

Even as prime minister, Aiden is more willing to exert influence in the diplomatic field due to his work experience.

The prince Macmillan is in an embarrassing situation. Although Prince Charles is the Yinreng of the Great Britain, there is more than one Yinreng in the Great Britain.

The prime minister does not care about finances but about diplomacy, so some foreign policy documents have to be sent to No. 10 Downing Street, and Eden is waiting for approval.

"Norman, is it true that in recent years, Louis' son-in-law has been doing the work on colonial issues?" Aiden asked Cabinet Secretary Norman Brook holding two documents of the military exercise plan.

Norman Brook chuckled, and replied to Aiden, "I really want to deny it, but it's not true to deny it. It can only be said that Alan has been leading the work of the Overseas Assets Management Committee on some details."

"I heard that the assets held by this committee are quite large." Aiden raised his eyebrows. "Almost all the assets of the British colonies are related to this committee? Norman, you know, I am the prime minister."

"It can't be said to be particularly huge! Of course, respected Prime Minister. It's just that when it comes to this kind of thing, it always requires the cooperation of civil servants stationed abroad. Even if a minister is assigned to be responsible, the minister can't figure it out. Even if he spends half a month in each colony, he will not be able to return to London after a year."

Norman Brooke said eloquently, "And after a year, there will be new changes. Will the minister go around again?"

"The advantage of Alan being in charge of this matter is that he himself is working overseas, and he sees some problems more clearly than those who have been in the country for a long time. His work experience can also support this, working in Asia and America respectively. Experience can be called success, and the affluent life brought by the Mountbatten family allows Allen to keep a clear mind and never be fooled by money, which is exactly what is needed to manage huge overseas assets."

Norman Brook is absolutely absurd. Allen Wilson just doesn't embezzle himself, and doesn't stop other commissioners from filling their own pockets. And he is not corrupt, he is not greedy for petty money at all.

Norman Brooke was not defending Alan Wilson, but he was defending the interests of public servants.

What Aiden said just now made him keenly aware of the danger. Politicians are trying to seize control of overseas assets.

And Norman Brook's answer was to persuade the Prime Minister not to do this, because sending a minister would not work at all. There are dozens of overseas high commissioners alone, plus their subordinates, it is easy to deceive a person.

Was MI6 sent to investigate overseas commissioners? If that were the case, it would turn into a confrontation between the Cabinet and Whitehall. So it's best to take a long-term view on this matter.

Norman Brooke and Aiden had a pretty good personal relationship, dating back even before World War II. With such a personal relationship, he can seriously discuss this issue with the prime minister without hesitation.

"One more thing, Prime Minister." Norman Brook didn't want to talk too deeply about this matter, so he mentioned another important thing to change the subject, "It's related to the former Prime Minister."

Attlee? Aiden became serious, "What? Is Attlee going to come out again for the general election?"

Although the Conservative Party regained the ruling power, it is not a complete victory in this general election, and the Labor Party still has considerable strength.

"Mr. Attlee intends to visit the East." Norman Brooke said to Aiden, "It should be an attempt to build diplomatic relations between China and Britain. It has a lot to do with pressure not joining the Korean War. Peace and development are the mainstream, and a large number of citizens are tired of any discussion of war."

"Of course, war is bad after all." Aiden nodded, thinking about whether to stop Attlee, but there seems to be no reason. Attlee has left politics and is a former prime minister with a good reputation. If he Blocking Attlee's visits as the current Prime Minister is very easy to attack.

In the end Aiden found he could not prevent Attlee from going abroad, leaving behind his assessment of the value of the Suez Canal, the possible serious consequences for all of Europe if a war broke out, and the position Britain might take if a war broke out in Goa.

This is only a hypothetical plan filing, Alan Wilson on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Mountbatten on behalf of the British military to make a professional assessment.

Isn't it okay to make a plan? It is part of the job to formulate a response plan for various possible emergencies.

After leaving almost all the documents, the issue of the positioning of Indians in British Kenya was returned to the Foreign Secretary Macmillan, which reflects the importance of the top leader. The prime minister would never do this kind of problem that is obviously likely to be stepped on.

"Dixon, where's Alan?" McMillan, with a sad look on his face, asked the chief private secretary with the document on the positioning of Indians sent back by the prime minister.

"Sir Wilson is on a business trip, and his wife, Ms. Pamela, is expecting to give birth in Perth. He happens to have some matters to discuss with Australia about the Antarctic Conference. He may stay in Perth for a while." Dixon replied flatly.

When Dixon answered~lightnovelpub.net~the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hadn’t left Europe yet, he was speaking with the two CEOs of Woodpecker Company, and then gave the two dragoons a chance to kiss eels, Then I walked and stopped all the way, and arrived in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, in five days.

Pamela Mountbatten, who is wearing white pajamas and has a bulging belly, is wearing slippers to replenish the energy of the baby in her stomach. While eating, she said, "The Antarctic Conference has recently passed its newspaper and is being paid attention to by Australia. So far, the feedback is quite good. , Australians generally believe that both Britain and the United States will support Australia's claim."

"The United States will do things that have no benefit? When did the United States ever be kind?" Alan Wilson threw away the orange peel and handed the peeled orange to his wife. "Australia is doomed to fail."

When his film series is finished, Australia will be warned of the lawlessness of black Americans.

Ingrid Bergman finally stated that she would find relevant talents for Alan Wilson, but she must not use people related to Woodpecker Films. This is the limit that Ingrid Bergman can accept.

"How about the silver thing." Alan Wilson ate the rest of the orange. It was sour. I really don't know how his wife could bear it. Agricultural technology innovation and improvement really have a long way to go.

"Raising your child and working for you." Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, and whispered, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, and the quality of silver is very high."

"If it succeeds, this will be a gift for our third child. Hey, there is no way. Although I have accumulated wealth through years of hard work, but there are more and more children, I always have to work harder." Alan Wilson touched Rubbing his wife's belly, he said, "If it succeeds this time, the wealth of the Mountbatten Group can reach another level."
