Of course, if Norman Brook is thinking about this matter, every department is equally important to the country, but Alan Wilson is not yet a cabinet secretary, and he only thinks about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The current foreign-related departments are indeed very unclear about their positions. Some are in charge of the colonies, some are in charge of the Commonwealth, and some are in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the things they do are similar.

Everyone knows that the colonial department is in the most dangerous situation when the merged department comes back sooner or later.

Both the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth Office will be retained, so the plan is also arranged in this way, that is, the Foreign Office and the Commonwealth Office will merge to form the new British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and there is no need for the Colonial Office to exist.

The new British Foreign and Commonwealth Office is fully capable of taking over the original work of the Colonial Department.

"In the telegram to India, New Delhi is not raising any objections?" Alan Wilson still pays more attention to the issue of armed mediation this time, so that Wick will continue to pay attention to India's movements.

"I've always been concerned about this issue, and once the news is reported, I will immediately inform the Deputy Chief." Wick replied bluntly...

"Well, that's good." Alan Wilson pinched his waist with both hands, stood up and took two steps back and forth, thinking about the success rate.

What he is most afraid of is that India feels good about itself, and there is too much propaganda from a big country with a strong voice, so that others don't believe that he takes it seriously.

The Congress Party is a hodgepodge party, and there are people of all kinds in it. Patel is dead, and Desai, the piss-drinking conservative leader, is also not easy-going. He is ready to make trouble at any time.

In fact, after India's defeat, Nehru encountered a series of difficult political problems. Factional governance within the Congress Party has become increasingly superficial. Conservatives were dissatisfied with Nehru's economic policies.

The Desai faction took advantage of Nehru's decline in prestige and raised criticism. Nehru began to fight back from within the party, and the opportunity was the Kamaraj plan. Kamaraj proposed that in order to rejuvenate the Congress Party, the party leader resigned from the government and devoted all his energy to the party's work.

Nehru set an example, Desai and others almost all resigned. Ten years later, Desai is still brooding, thinking that it cleared the way for Indira Gandhi to take over.

Although Desai failed in the end, he should feel relieved if he sees Modi's old age.

Whether it is Nehru, the founder of India, or Indira, who dismembered Pakistan, in the era of Modi, they both ranked among the top two unpopular ones.

It's just that the level of the old fairy is the same, and the approval rate is closely related to Hindu nationalism. If you really encounter the problems faced by Nehru and Indira, the old fairy is probably not as good as them.

Alan Wilson, who was still waiting for an official reply from India, was thinking. The phone on the desk rang, and he picked up the microphone directly. Norman Brooke’s voice came from inside, “Your minister’s proposal has been passed in the cabinet. In principle, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commonwealth Affairs can be merged, and now come to Whitehall, how to arrange the future of colleagues, everyone is very concerned, I hope you can make a reliable commitment."

"Sir Norman, I'll be right there." Alan Wilson didn't dare to neglect, and was ready to go out.

Although the minister did not come back, this phone call has shown that it should be a certainty. The major event of merging departments is related to the future of a large part of civil servants. Allen Wilson must come up with a passable plan.

"The scale of overseas assets is getting bigger and bigger, and colleagues need to work together to manage them. After the Colonial Department has completed its historical mission, the journey of colleagues is not over yet."

Alan Wilson, who arrived at No. 70 Whitehall, explained the basic policy to Norman Brooke, and then came up with a prepared plan about the personnel diversion after the merger of foreign departments.

After the integration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will further collect powers and transform them into professional external responsibilities, completely abolish the Colonial Department’s authority over micro-management practices and specific approval items in the colonies, and gradually transform its main functions into the formulation and research of macro-plans.

As for the merger of foreign-related departments, the reform must be carried out in conjunction with the reform of public institutions. According to their functions, some public institutions will be transformed into enterprises or civil organizations, and some will be transformed into administrative agencies and merged into government departments at the same time.

Specific public institutions, that is, overseas enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, will assume the main responsibility for personnel diversion. At the micro level, the specific treatment of colleagues who have been abolished due to the Colonial Department remains unchanged, and they will continue to work according to the previous treatment.

"Operations in the Middle East and the Far East should be strengthened, and management should be increased in order to focus on the overseas interests of the business, and enter a virtuous circle. The more people there are, the greater the benefits the UK will get. As for the specific treatment..."

Allen Wilson eloquently handed over the entire plan to Norman Brooke, and the entire plan was professional.

This is also normal. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to annex other foreign-related departments. It is not a day or two. The relevant plan has been revised countless times, and it is absolutely prepared.

"Very well, Alan, you are really reliable." Norman Brook nodded in satisfaction, and expressed his cautious approval of this mature plan for personnel diversion, "Actually, we are not against streamlining the organization, on the contrary, we have always been in favor of it." .”

"Of course, the integrity of my colleagues is known to everyone in Great Britain." Allen Wilson nodded.

"What we are against is a hasty, immature, unprofessional plan that was proposed by a minister who didn't know what he was doing before. This must be emphasized." Norman Brook took a sip from the cup Shui continued, "You have to understand that hundreds of thousands of civil servants are looking at us expectantly."

"The responsibilities on my shoulders make me never dare to neglect." Alan Wilson straightened his back, as if inspired by the supreme authority, and stood up for a glorious cause at any time.

Alan Wilson has no jealousy at all, and all he does is for the interests of the country. His high morals and honesty make people look at him. At least Norman Brook is very satisfied. This kind of consideration has taken care of all aspects.

Civil servants are the cornerstone of the British Empire. The cornerstone should not be weakened. Only when the cornerstone is strong can Britain develop well. Norman Brooke firmly believes in this and hopes that other colleagues can understand this.

"Very well, the cabinet agrees in principle to merge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commonwealth Affairs, but there is no need for me to say more about the advantages of the concentration of power in the diplomatic field. As the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you are very clear."

Norman Brook pondered for a while and said, "In the future, I'm talking about assisting the minister in formulating foreign policy, which is your job. I know that you have been very worried about the opening of the Commonwealth Games recently. Is there anything you need to help with?"

"My lord, I have no problem." Alan Wilson replied bluntly, "I am responsible for building a diversified bridge between the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations. Of course, I never care about personal interests. This is obvious to all in Whitehall... "

"Of course, absolutely not!" Norman Brooke said with a smile, "It's just that as the executive deputy chief of a department, I always want my colleagues to think about it. If you work for them, you have to take responsibility. Obviously you don't care of personal interest..."

"This is also a crime that I have to bear as an executive secretary." Alan Wilson quickly understood, and replied with a sad face, "Envious people can always find various reasons to viciously guess the conspiracy in a matter, But I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, and I never care about it."

"Those ministers, political advisers, and members of parliament will always raise various objections. It's just that the cabinet meeting process has to go. This matter is settled, but it needs a mature time to implement it." Norman Brook said At this point, he paused and said, "Well, after the end of the Commonwealth Games, it will be officially launched. This will also give an explanation to the colleagues in the Colonial Department, so that they can accept this matter with a more tolerant attitude."

Norman Brooke couldn't understand what he meant. It was up to him, the executive undersecretary, to appease the Colonial Department and the Commonwealth Affairs Department, as well as the subsequent handover work.

"I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer after careful consideration." Alan Wilson promised.

The cabinet meeting ended, and the ministers left No. 10 Downing Street. Defense Minister Profumo and Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler came out together and expressed their congratulations, "Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will become the only foreign-related department, not like It turns out that the Ministry of Colonial Affairs and the Ministry of Commonwealth Affairs are involved, and they hinder each other, so I believe that the efficiency should be greatly improved."

"Profumo~lightnovelpub.net~I think the most important thing is that when formulating foreign policy, we can consider issues in a more macroscopical way, instead of taking an attitude in some places, and the Commonwealth Office To adopt another attitude, I have to reach a consensus with the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs before I can come up with a policy."

"There is indeed this advantage. The affairs are generally connected." Profumo nodded in approval, "This can save a lot of energy, and I believe your officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also satisfied."

"Everyone cooperates with each other, so that I can save a lot of energy when formulating foreign policy." Rabo Butler said with satisfaction. He is very satisfied with the merger of departments this time.

Do you make foreign policy? Profumo raised his eyebrows and said in an inexplicable tone, "Labo, don't be stupid."

"Dear minister, oh, the Minister of Defense is also here." Alan Wilson appeared with a smile, and greeted the two heavyweight ministers, "I have something about the Commonwealth Games, I came to ask you for instructions, the time is almost up , many delegations have arrived in Kuala Lumpur, and just now we have received good news that India and Portugal are open to contact in Kuala Lumpur."
