"Subsequent batches of interns will be arranged according to today's procedures." Instructing Chief Private Secretary Wick, Alan Wilson embarked on the return journey.

The Iranian oil crisis, which has dragged on for so long, is still something the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to follow up. The wife, who just gave up her share quota, still looks unfazed these days and always feels that she is at a loss.

If it were normal, maybe Pamela Mountbatten would forget it after a long time, but his husband has been following up on the Iran issue, so there is no condition for forgetting at home, and now it can only be analyzed by Alan Wilson calmly .

The key political masters have always used history as a mirror to explain the relationship between the state and businessmen. "The Soviets say that workers have no motherland, and Americans say that capitalists have no motherland. In fact, they are all right. The relationship between businessmen and the state is not It's as simple as that, but there is no doubt that your industry still has a strong British color, you can't always contribute to the country, you have to give some feedback to the country, right?"

"Imagine that more than a hundred years ago, the United Kingdom had the upper hand in the battle with France with its huge tax collection ability. This created the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, and finally made Napoleon hate it."

"I understand the truth." Pamela Mountbatten whispered, "but the loss is real."

"Not letting go when it's time to let go will only lead to greater disaster." Alan Wilson looked serious.

"Why haven't I heard of similar examples." Pamela Mountbatten tilted her head, waiting for her husband's answer.

How not? Jews aren't? However, the Mountbatten family really has Jewish blood, so this can't be said, Alan Wilson frowned, "There is a counter-example, too much pressure on businessmen led to businessmen betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy."

In fact, except for the Mongolians who can do everything, China will limit the expansion of businessmen with state power.

This is no problem, because businessmen seek profit and should really be controlled. But it has to be divided into how to suppress it. The Ming Dynasty was too black with businessmen, and it was extremely unsuccessful at the national commercial level.

Shanxi merchants would rather do business with Houjin, and they are the same as guarding against thieves in the Ming Dynasty, because they have many lessons from the past.

In other dynasties, merchants were also in a disadvantaged position, and from time to time they would be cut off by the court, but generally at the level of suppression. But in the Ming Dynasty, once a businessman ended up showing his wealth, whether it was loyal to the monarch and patriotism or to the disaster, the whole family would die.

Feng Qian, Wang Tong, Li Xiang, Wang Zhi, Xia Xian'er, etc., the big jewellers in the Ming Dynasty, were forcibly arrested and jailed by the court for trumped-up charges, and their property was confiscated.

Yao Qing, a wealthy businessman who had accumulated huge sums of money during the Wanli reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, died without heirs.

Wu Jinbo, a wealthy businessman at the time of Apocalypse in Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, successively lent the imperial court as much as two million taels of silver.

Wu Yangchun, an Hui merchant in the Tianqi period of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, started his business by selling salt, and accumulated more than one million yuan. He has a wide range of industries in Huangshan and Jiangnan.

His family had donated more than 500,000 taels of salaries to the court successively. The court sought to add more crimes, not only to recover 600,000 taels of stolen silver, but also to arrest the father and son of the Wu family. He eventually hanged himself in prison.

The imperial court has always adopted such an attitude towards businessmen. Naturally, don't think about the emergence of patriotic businessmen in times of difficulty.

When the United Kingdom formed the anti-French alliance, the British commercial power played a huge role. Naturally, there is no need to worry about loyalty issues, but nothing should go too far, especially the Soviet Union in the East has to liberate the world and seize the interests. If you don't let go, there is a real possibility that the street lights will be hung.

"There is such a thing in the world." Pamela Mountbatten looked angry. "No wonder they accepted the Soviet system so easily. It turns out that there is a historical tradition."

"It can't be wrong, er, there are certain reasons for this." Alan Wilson opened his mouth and did not refute anything. He felt that his wife was justified, "China is China, Britain is the United Kingdom, and they are in different angles. Attitudes are naturally different. What we should consider is that given the fact that the Soviet Union exists, we should try our best to establish a wide encirclement network, so when we eat meat, we must ensure that other countries can drink soup, otherwise, why should they stand in freedom side of the world?"

"Lumumba's Congo is like this. Although we can't say publicly that Lumumba wanted to take back Congo's own resources, and we disagreed, that led to Congo's fall to the Soviet Union. But isn't that what it is in essence?"

In order to prevent these countries from falling to the Soviet Union, they must give up part of their interests, which were originally their own resources.

"Anyway, what you say makes sense. Fortunately, Mountbatten Group is not a listed company." Pamela Mountbatten accepted her husband's rhetoric to take care of the overall situation, "Otherwise, the decline in stock value alone can make many people dissatisfied."

"Speaking of this issue, what will the government talk about with Egypt when I see the Suez Canal Company?" Alan Wilson's mood suddenly turned bad. The Suez Canal Company is a joint-stock company. Historically, the reason why France followed suit Britain went to war because of the nationalization of Egypt, which caused huge losses to a large number of French shareholders.

Usurious imperialism being attacked on such a thing is like killing the French.

The world is as black as a crow. In this world, there is hunger, humiliation, ignorance, evil, greed, extortion, fraud, torture, tyranny, and the inhumanity of people to people. Just because Alan Wilson is British, you will not think that the United Kingdom How noble.

On the contrary, some Chinese, Persians, Indians, Arabs, their character, their elegance, their tenderness, their wisdom, their holiness, are no less than Europe and the United States.

Everyone, everywhere in the world, is moving towards classification. Some people take the long way, some people take the shortcut.

Everyone sets his own destiny in his own way, and no one can help anyone but kindness, generosity, and patience.

Just as Alan Wilson cannot fight for the French himself, France cannot continue to fight against the Iranian oil crisis in place of the United Kingdom. Both countries have their own affairs and have no obligation to advance and retreat together.

"According to the embassy in Paris, today France officially launched the French mobilization law, a large-scale conscription, and declared that the Algerian issue would be solved within half a year."

In Macmillan's office, Dixon, the chief private secretary of the foreign secretary, reported the latest news from the Paris embassy that France has launched a general mobilization law to carry out partial mobilization.

All male French nationals who are at least eighteen years old shall register with the municipal government of the place where they live, their address, occupation, relatives, protectors, employers employed, and all levels of education they have received in schools.

Persons who are not subject to military service obligations, and who do not hold any occupation or public office, shall be registered with the provincial government of their place of origin or residence; in order to serve on duty and to work in the national interest, the length of service shall not be less than one year.

“According to the lowest level of partial mobilization, France can build on the current Algerian garrison. An additional 500,000 troops can be invested in the Algerian war, and together with the immigrants from French Africa gathered in Algeria, the French troops in Algeria can be increased to 150 Ten thousand."

This is what Macmillan tried to prevent when he visited France some time ago, and it is also something that the United States does not want to see. At this tense moment, France has made great efforts to solve the colonial problem in one fell swoop.

"Alan, where are you now?" Macmillan asked Dixon.

"It should be in his own office. Recently, the deputy secretary has been very family-oriented. When he goes to work, he is preparing the materials for the Basra meeting." Dixon asked, "Do you want to call the deputy secretary?"

Macmillan had already picked up the microphone, and Alan Wilson floated over not long after, and also knew the news that France had started a part of the general mobilization, but he had no choice, "I think this is not a problem that can be solved by a department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the key is What does the cabinet, or the prime minister, think now."

"Now let's think from the worst point of view. If the French succeed and Algeria's resistance is quelled, it's not all good for Britain. After Algeria stabilizes, France's national strength will definitely be enhanced. With the strength of the British Isles , it may be difficult to suppress France."

The total area of ​​Algeria is close to 2.4 million square kilometers, even if the area of ​​livable land is not large. There are also more than 300,000 square kilometers of the Mediterranean coast that can be used. France, which straddles both sides of the Mediterranean, will become difficult to deal with~lightnovelpub.net~ Once this result occurs, the pressure will be on the United Kingdom. If the United Kingdom takes a step forward Step back to the British Isles and bow down to live, then in Europe not only to deal with the Soviet Union, but also to rely on the French breath.

It is precisely because of this vision that de Gaulle, after analyzing the current population comparison, ventured to launch the mobilization order. Against the pressure of other countries, try harder on the Algeria issue.

No doubt, what should the UK do now? Macmillan also frowned. At this moment, the phone beside him rang. It was the call from Prime Minister Aiden, asking Macmillan to go to 10 Downing Street for a meeting.

Alan Wilson could have guessed the content of the meeting, so he watched Macmillan leave, turned back to his own office, and sat down, "Without a single word to save Britain, France is about to be pulled out of the quagmire by me. "

There are many difficulties in having a big plate, and there are advantages in concentration. The operating pressure brought by the widespread distribution of the British colonies is also much greater than that of France.

"Let's talk about what the French's actions will bring to the UK." Aiden said straight to the point, and the core issue of calling cabinet ministers was the mobilization order issued by France.
