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

In a sense, these two military exercises are very important. The significance of Egypt's Suez Canal 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 too bad. The Salazar government of Portugal has a firm attitude towards the maintenance of the colonies.

Therefore, at an appropriate time, the United Kingdom should also show its sincerity and support Portugal's interests. The British Malayan colony is positioned as an industrial production base, or it can obtain a lot of benefits through the existence of Goa, an excellent window to enter the Indian market.

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

"In India, that line is called the Wilson Line." Alan Wilson shied the responsibility without a trace, "It was the Portuguese who took the initiative, when a famine broke out in British India, and Portugal said it could help, and all British Indian civil servants shrunk. There are so many amazing stories about fighting the drought, and in order to save millions of lives, I agreed to Portugal's conditions under heavy pressure, it was really a last resort."

When it comes to this, Alan Wilson is righteous. Who is he for, and is it not for the sake of fewer people?

Only in this way did Portugal agree to the conditions of replacing the land, turning Goa, which is more than 3,000 square kilometers, into the Portuguese Grand Goa, which is nearly 30,000 square kilometers today.

As for what the Portuguese Hindus have to do with themselves now, who made India's post-independence policy questionable, the pacifists seek protection from the Portuguese, which has changed the proportion of Goa's population.

It's not a British problem, it's Portugal and India. As for who has the bigger problem, he doesn't know.

The Labour government's policy towards Egypt is mainly to bribe and win over. It is now 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 Labour's foreign policy, with only some minor adjustments.

This can only be said to be partly due to Macmillan, because the current Prime Minister, Aiden, used to be foreign secretary. The current Prime Minister was originally a foreign minister, so it remains to be studied whose idea is to inherit some of the Labour Party's foreign policy.

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

After taking office, Aiden basically entrusted economic affairs to a team headed by 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 because of his work experience.

The situation of the Prince Macmillan is quite embarrassing. Although Prince Charles is the Yin-Reng of Great Britain, there is not only one Yin-Reng in Great Britain.

The Prime Minister does not care about finances but about diplomacy, so some foreign policy documents have to be sent to 10 Downing Street, and Eden is waiting for approval.

"Norman, is it that in recent years, when it comes to colonial issues, Louis's son-in-law has been doing it." Aiden asked the cabinet secretary, Norman Brooke, holding two documents of the military exercise plan.

Norman Brooke chuckled and replied to Aiden, "I actually want to deny it, but denial is not a fact. It can only be said that on some details, Allen has been leading the work of the Overseas Assets Management Committee."

"I heard that this committee has quite a lot of assets." Aiden raised his eyebrows. "Almost all the assets of the British colonies are related to this committee? Norman, you know, I'm the prime minister."

"It can't be said to be particularly huge! Of course, esteemed Prime Minister. It's just that when it comes to this kind of thing, the civil servants stationed abroad always have to work together. Even if a minister is assigned to be in charge, the minister can't understand. 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 Allen being in charge of this matter is that he himself works overseas, and he sees some issues more clearly than those who have long expected to be in the country. His work experience can also support this, working in Asia and the Americas respectively. Experience can be called success, and the wealthy life brought by the Mountbatten family keeps Alan clear-headed and will never be fooled by money, which is exactly what he needs to manage a huge overseas asset."

Norman Brooke is absolutely wrong, Alan Wilson just doesn't embezzle himself, and doesn't stop other commissioners from enriching themselves. And he is not corrupt, he is not greedy for petty money at all.

Norman Brooke is not defending Alan Wilson, but he is defending the interests of civil servants.

Aiden's words just now made him keenly aware of the danger. Politicians have an attempt to seize control of overseas assets.

And Norman Brooke's answer was to persuade the Prime Minister not to do so, 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.

Is it sending MI6 to investigate overseas commissioners? If so, it would turn into a Cabinet-Whitehall confrontation. So it's best to take the long 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 discuss this issue seriously with the Prime Minister without any hesitation.

"One more thing, Prime Minister." Norman Brooke didn't want to go too deep on this matter, so he mentioned another important thing to change the subject, "It has something to do with the former Prime Minister."

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

Although the Conservative Party has regained power, this election is far from a complete victory, and the Labour Party still has considerable strength.

"Mr. Attlee intends to make a visit to the East." Norman Brooke said to Aiden, "It should be an attempt to build diplomatic relations between China and the UK. The Prime Minister also knows that the reason why the Labour Party has won two consecutive elections, and withstood The fact that pressure didn't add to the Korean War had a lot to do with it. Peace and development were the mainstream, and a large group of citizens were fed up with any discussion of war."

"Of course, war is not good after all." Aiden nodded, thinking about whether to stop Attlee, but there seemed to be no reason. Attlee had left the political world and was a former prime minister with a good reputation. If he Preventing Attlee from visiting as the current Prime Minister is very easy to attack.

Eventually Aiden found himself unable to stop Attlee from going abroad, leaving behind an assessment of the value of the Suez Canal and the dire consequences that a war could have on Europe as a whole, as well as the position Britain might take if a war broke out in Goa.

This is only a hypothetical planning filing, a professional assessment made by Alan Wilson on behalf of the Foreign Office and Mountbatten on behalf of the British military.

Can't make a plan? It is part of the job to develop a response plan for every possible emergency.

After leaving almost all the documents, the issue of the positioning of Indians in British Kenya was returned to Foreign Secretary Macmillan, which reflects the importance of the leader. The Prime Minister will never do it himself.

"Dixon, where's Ellen." Macmillan, with a sad face in the face of Great Britain, asked the chief private secretary with the document sent by the Prime Minister on the location of Indian origin.

"Sir Wilson is on a business trip, and his wife, Ms. Pamela, is expecting a baby in Perth. It happens that there is some Antarctic conference to discuss with Australia, and he may stay in Perth for a while." Dixon replied flatly.

When Dixon was answering~lightnovelpub.net~ the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not yet left Europe. He was talking with the two presidents of the Woodpecker Company, and then gave the two dragoons a chance to kiss the eel. After that, he stopped while walking and arrived at Perth, the capital of Western Australia, which lasted five days.

Pamela Mountbatten, wearing white pajamas with a bulging belly, wearing slippers, supplementing the child's strength, said while eating, "The Antarctic Conference has recently passed its own newspaper and is being paid attention to by Australia. The feedback is quite good so far. , Australians generally believe that both the UK and the US will support Australia's claims."

"The United States will do things that have no interests? When has the United States been kind?" Alan Wilson threw away the orange peel and handed the peeled orange to his wife. "Australia is destined to fail."

When the filming of his series is complete, Australia will be warned of the lawlessness of black Americans.

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

"What happened to the silver thing." Alan Wilson ate the remaining oranges. It was sour. I really didn't know how his wife could bear it. There is a long way to go to innovate and improve agricultural technology.

"Raising your children and working for you." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband and whispered, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, and the quality of silver is very high."

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