British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1156: Rabo, don't be stupid

Of course if Norman Brooke is thinking about this, it is that every department is equally important to the country, but Alan Wilson is not a cabinet secretary yet, he is only thinking about the Foreign Office.

The current foreign-related departments are indeed very unclear in their positioning. Some of them manage the colonies, some of the British Commonwealth, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In fact, the things they do are basically the same.

Everyone knows that sooner or later the day of the merger department, the colonial department is in the most dangerous situation.

Both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth Office will be retained, so the plan is also arranged in this way. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth Office are merged to form a new British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Colonial Department is no longer necessary.

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 was still more concerned about the issue of armed mediation this time, and let Wick continue to pay attention to India's movements.

"I have always been concerned about this issue, and I will inform the Deputy Secretary as soon as the news is announced." Wick replied simply.

"Well, that's fine." Alan Wilson pinched his waist, 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 a lot of propaganda by a powerful country, and others don't believe that he is serious.

The Congress Party is a hodgepodge of parties, with all kinds of people in it. Patel is dead, and Desai, the piss-drinking conservative leader, is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, ready to do things at any time.

In fact, after India's defeat, Nehru encountered a series of difficult political issues. . The factional governance within the Congress Party is increasingly superficial. Conservatives were unhappy with Nehru's economic policies.

The Desai faction took advantage of Nehru's decline in prestige to raise accusations. Nehru started to fight back from within the party, and the opportunity was the Kamaraj plan. Kamaraj proposed that in order to rejuvenate the Congress party, party leaders should resign from government positions and devote all their energy to party work.

Nehru led by example, Desai and others almost all offered to resign. Desai still broods ten years later, believing that it was clearing the way for Indira Gandhi to take over.

Although Desai failed in the end, if he saw the era of Modi, he should be relieved.

Whether it's Nehru, the founder of India, or Indira, who dismembered Pakistan, in the era of Modi's old immortal, they were the top two unpopular ones, which was a bad breath for him.

It's just that the level of the old fairy is the same, and the support rate is closely related to Hindu nationalism. Really encountering the problems that Nehru and Indira faced, Lao Xian estimated that they were not as good as them.

Alan Wilson, who was still waiting for the official reply from the Indian side, was thinking, the phone on the table rang, he directly picked up the receiver, and Norman Brooke's voice came from inside, "Your minister's proposal has been approved by the cabinet, in principle The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth Office can be merged, and now come to Whitehall, how to arrange the future of colleagues, everyone is very concerned, and I hope you can make a solid 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, the phone call has shown that it should be a done deal. The major event of merging departments is related to the future of a large number of civil servants, and Alan Wilson must come up with a passable plan.

"The scale of overseas assets is getting bigger and bigger, and it requires colleagues to work together to manage it. After the colonial department has completed the historical task, the journey of my colleagues is not over yet."

Alan Wilson, who arrived at No. 70 in Whitehall, explained the basic policy to Norman Brook, and then took out a prepared plan regarding the diversion of personnel after the merger of foreign departments.

After the integration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will further withdraw its powers and transform it into professional foreign responsibilities, completely abolish the colonial ministry's powers on micro-management practices and specific approval matters in the colonies, and gradually transform its main functions into the formulation and research of macro-planning.

For the merger of foreign-related departments, the reform should be carried out in conjunction with the reform of public institutions. According to their functions, some public institutions will be transformed into enterprises or non-governmental organizations, and some will be transformed into administrative organs, and at the same time, they will be merged into government departments.

The specific public institution, that is, the overseas enterprise under the jurisdiction of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, will assume the main responsibility of personnel diversion. At the micro level, the specific treatment of colleagues who have been dismissed due to the colonial department will remain unchanged, and they will continue to work according to their previous treatment.

"The operation in the Middle East and the Far East should be strengthened, and management should be strengthened in order to focus on the overseas interests of key operations, and enter a virtuous circle. The more personnel, the greater the benefits for the UK. As for the specific treatment..."

Alan Wilson eloquently handed over the whole plan to Norman Brooke, and the whole plan was professional.

This is also normal. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to annex other foreign-related departments.

"Very good, Alan, you are really reliable." Norman Brook nodded with satisfaction, expressing cautious approval of this mature plan for personnel distribution, "Actually, we are not against streamlining the organization, on the contrary, we have always been in favor of it. ."

"Of course, everyone in Great Britain knows about the high profile of my colleagues." Alan Wilson nodded.

"What we are opposed to is a sloppy, immature, unprofessional plan made by a minister who didn't know what he was doing before. This must be emphasized." Norman Brooke took a sip from the cup. Shui, continued, "You must understand that hundreds of thousands of civil servants are looking at us with anticipation."

"I have never dared to neglect the responsibilities I shoulder." Alan Wilson stiffened, as if inspired by the supreme authority, to stand up for a glorious cause at any time.

Alan Wilson has no jealousy at all, and what he does is for the interests of the country. His high-spiritedness is eye-catching. At least Norman Brook is very satisfied. This kind of consideration has been taken into account.

Civil servants are the cornerstone of the British Empire, and the cornerstone should not be weakened. Only when the cornerstone is solid can the UK develop well. Norman Brooke is convinced of this, and he hopes other colleagues can understand this.

"Very well, the Cabinet agreed in principle to merge the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth Office, but the benefits of the concentration of power in the diplomatic field do not need me to say more. As the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you are very clear."

Norman Brooke pondered for a while and said, "In the future... I am talking about assisting the minister to formulate foreign policy, which is your job. I know that you have been very worried about the holding of the Commonwealth Games recently. Do you need any help? "

"Dear Sir, I have no problem." Alan Wilson replied simply, "I am personally responsible for building a diverse bridge between the British Empire and the Commonwealth countries. Of course, I never care about personal interests, which is obvious to all in Whitehall... …”

"Of course, absolutely not!" Norman Brooke said with a smile, "Just as the deputy secretary of a department, I always ask my colleagues to think about it, and when you do things for them, you have to take responsibility. Obviously you don't care. personal interest..."

"This is also a crime that I have to bear as a deputy secretary." Alan Wilson understood it in seconds, and replied with a mournful face, "Jealous people can always find various reasons to viciously guess the conspiracy in a matter, But I'm not afraid of shadows, and I never care about it."

"Those ministers, political advisers, MPs will always raise all kinds of objections. It's just that the process of the cabinet meeting has to go, this matter is settled, but it needs to be matured to implement it." Norman Brooke said After a while, Wei Wei said, "Well, after the Commonwealth Games is over, it will be officially launched, so that there is an explanation for the colleagues in the Colonial Department, so that they can accept this matter with a more tolerant attitude."

Norman Brooke's meaning is incomprehensible. It is up to him, the Permanent Secretary, 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 thought." Alan Wilson promised.

The Cabinet meeting was over, the ministers left No. 10 Downing Street, and Profumo, the Minister of Defence, and Rabo Butler, the Foreign Secretary, came out together to express their congratulations, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will now be the only foreign-related department, not like It turned out that it was involved with the Department of Colonial Affairs and the Department of Commonwealth Affairs, pulling each other's backs, and I believe that the efficiency should be greatly improved."

"Profumo, I think the most important thing is that when we formulate foreign policy, we can consider issues more macroscopically, instead of taking one attitude in some places, and the Commonwealth Office taking another attitude, I We have to reach a consensus with the minister of the Commonwealth Office~lightnovelpub.net~ to come up with the policy."

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

"Everyone cooperates with each other, so when I formulate foreign policy, I will also save a lot of energy." Rabo Butler said with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with the merger department this time.

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

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

Recently, I can often see blood drawn in Cambodia on short videos. Two of my friends are there. In fact, there are more than two, and there are a few less familiar ones.

One thing to remind is that Southeast Asia is not allowed to go except Vietnam. If you have friends in Cambodia or Myanmar, you can count that one. If you are told to make money, don’t go. The first step is to have your passport seized.

That place is only suitable for those at the bottom of the country who really can't survive and eat and wait to die. You have nothing, so naturally you are afraid of everything. Don't believe in the words that can make money, even your friends can't believe it. There are indicators.

After you have passed, he will make money on you.
