British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1404: ambassadorial diplomacy

The most suitable person to be promoted to ambassador to China is actually Supreme Authority himself. However, he has other things to do. Richard, who is in charge of Socrates affairs, is also a suitable candidate.

However, it is not a good thing for someone who is too professional to be responsible for things that are too clear. It is more appropriate to find someone who understands half-understood as an ambassador to China. In this way, you can avoid being too clear and arbitrary, and you will ask for the opinions of Whitehall when encountering many things.

John Mansfield, who was one of Prime Minister Attlee's private secretaries when Allen Wilson was Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, is now recalled under his tenure as Ambassador to the Philippines. Perfectly meeting the standard of knowing but not knowing too much, he is a good candidate for ambassador to China.

In the British civil service system, the level of ambassadors abroad is very high. John Mansfield, who received such a promise, readily accepted it and was looking forward to his next job.

"Judging from the data they released, you can't regard your new job as a job in the Philippines. In many industrial indicators, they are already on par with the British mainland. Although this is not shown in terms of currency." Alan Wilson said reminded.

There is a saying called "challenging Britain to catch up with the United States". In this world, although it has become a superpower to catch up with the United States, the meaning is the same. In terms of heavy industry, a certain big country is already on an equal footing with the British mainland. This is absolutely waterless data, because a certain big country has not integrated into the international economic system.

As for some comparisons in the energy category, the UK is even further behind. The UK is so big that it is impossible to compare it with some countries with vast land and abundant resources.

What they rely on is nothing more than the capital of the empire on which the sun never sets. The Daqing oil field can offset the North Sea oil. In fact, for a period of time, a certain big country positioned itself as a country of resources, and the slogan of getting rich was ten Daqing.

"The world is so unequal. Unless it is some extreme areas, such as the Sahara Desert where drinking water is a problem, a country with a large area is really useful. The reason why the Soviet Union is difficult to deal with is that it is the largest territory in the world. With all the resources that exist, inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

John Mansfield nodded. This is also recognized by many countries in the free world. The Soviet Union is the most difficult to deal with. The Soviet Union may lack tropical products. Since Indonesia fell to the Soviet Union, this problem has disappeared, and North Vietnam can also solve some of this problem.

"We respect their size, so you just treat them like another Britain. Communicate with respect. Tell Whitehall if anything."

Alan Wilson smiled and said, "Easy is the mainstream of the times. Didn't you see that Brandt also went to Warsaw to kneel last year? Although I don't understand how the Poles accepted it on behalf of the Jews, but they never mentioned themselves. He helped the Germans capture the Jews in the country."

If you look at the statistical data, it seems that Poland suffered heavy losses in World War II, but if you break down the data, you will know the truth. There are only tens of thousands of Jews left in Poland after the war. The Jews in Poland The number of deaths in the country exceeds the number of deaths in Poland.

Of course, Brandt’s kneeling doesn’t really have much influence, and a show also requires changes in the international environment. Now that the United States is just starting to sweat, the mainstream opinion is still that I have the advantage. The free world does not need to ease with the opponent’s camp. Brand Kneeling is not a mainstream opinion, but the two camps pretend that they have not seen it, and will bring it up when publicity is needed.

To put it simply, as long as the Federal Republic of Germany still regards the GDR as part of a complete Germany, there is no time for propaganda. When it really recognizes the GDR as another country, it is necessary for propaganda.

Bibi babbled for a while that the general environment was easing, expressing the correctness of my promotion of the Chargé d’Affaires to ambassador. John Mansfield understood it in no time, and at the same time felt that the task was arduous.

"It's just time to eat, let's go have a meal together." Alan Wilson felt his stomach was empty, so he greeted John Mansfield to the cafeteria together.

"The Prime Minister is not as good as we are at this point," John Mansfield joked, and went out to lunch with Alan Wilson.

"The prime minister has money to hire a cook, that's not a big problem." Alan Wilson replied with a smile. Harold Wilson's book on the Labor Party government earned a lot of royalties. Of course, it was Alan Wilson who asked Xiangjiang and Malaya to share out, but it cannot be denied that the Prime Minister earned a lot of money to support his own expenses.

There were already many pillars of Whitehall enjoying lunch in the restaurant, and they all nodded their heads when they saw the supreme authority. Alan Wilson responded with a smile, and found a room with a TV with John Mansfield to enter. , showing a news video of Vivien Leigh calling for donations for Bangladeshi children fighting the civil war.

"Our British national treasure will also grow old one day." John Mansfield listened quietly for a while, and gave his own evaluation. He and Vivien Leigh are of the same age. It can be said that Vivien Leigh is the representative of all British men in John Mansfield's era dream lover.

John Mansfield's speech that smashed the rice bowl made Alan Wilson's face change, and it was filled with content about your shit. I didn't think he was old, so I said indifferently, "Natural law, there is no What can we say, in fact, we are not young anymore.”

"That's right, Secretary-General." Although John Mansfield didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, he could also feel that the supreme authority was very reluctant to talk about age, so he changed the subject, "However, who are the younger stars? Who else has the support of the masses like her, Hepburn or Taylor?"

"It's all good." Alan Wilson didn't expect that John Mansfield was still a gossip civil servant, why did he always mention that he was a lady of the same status as his wife? Did you find something?

John Mansfield didn't know that he almost missed the position of ambassador to China because of this. After talking a little longer, Alan Wilson will put my idea of ​​urging you to mind your own business into action.

After lunch, he took John Mansfield's information to No. 10 Downing Street. Although he had the power to make appointments, he still needed the Prime Minister's approval to upgrade the charge d'affaires to ambassadors.

"In principle, we'd better not wait until next year. It's just an escalation and it doesn't take much time to think about it. My colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believe that it's best to complete it before New Year's Day." Alan Wilson elaborated that since he wanted to jump ship , then don't be muddled, the UK has no friendship with Swindle Island, and the interests are the US and not the UK.

"Once the diplomatic relations are comprehensively improved, the economic and trade between the two countries will definitely experience explosive growth. Colleagues from the Ministry of Finance believe that it will be able to increase to 300 million pounds within three years. The data is quite optimistic." Alan Wilson talked eloquently. , indicating the complementarity between China and the UK in terms of traders.

In fact, Japan and South Korea are lucky to some extent. When the industries of the two countries were upgrading, a certain big country next to them just opened up and became a depression in labor costs, sharing a lot of social pressure from Japan and South Korea. Industrial upgrading cannot be accomplished by relying on oneself, and a good international environment is also needed.

Take Japan as an example. Japan’s investment in Asian countries is settled in yen, which relieved Japan’s financial pressure after the Plaza Accord. After the Plaza Accord, a certain big country happened to be the peak era of Japanese goods.

In terms of distance, Britain is unlikely to receive dividends from a big country. Xiangjiang is indeed too small, but now that Malaya is in its hands, Britain's basic position in Asia is at least not much worse than that of Japan and South Korea.

How can the UK not be more aggressive than Japan? Isn't the British pound more liquid than the Japanese yen? Accepting the Japanese yen can not buy anything except Japanese goods, and accepting the British pound can at least hold your chest up in many places at present.

"Patrick, do you think it makes sense?" Harold Wilson asked the Foreign Secretary for his opinion in order to show his democratic side.

Foreign Secretary Patrick thought to himself, who are you asking? Didn’t the authority on Orientalism just finish speaking? I have to say that Alan Wilson's people are very stable~lightnovelpub.net~ Although Patrick's brain is empty, he replied with a mature attitude, "Indeed, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' opinions on this issue are almost unanimous. .”

"The views of the Foreign Secretary have always been so accurate." Alan Wilson nodded with a smile and continued, "We can conclude that the expansion of economic and trade relations will inject vitality into the British economy."

Expanding economic and trade relations is definitely beneficial. When it first entered into international trade, it was really a pure deficit country, which lasted for more than ten years. The biggest beneficiary is Japan, which is the closest country. Little Japan is ambitious and opposed to returning to the United Nations. My Great Britain is thousands of miles away, and it is more suitable for distance to produce beauty.

From the perspective of industrial chain competition, the future threat is the future. Japan is now competing with the United Kingdom, and rushing to make a layout ahead of Japan can drive the ebb and flow of each other.

Turning around, Alan Wilson took the letter of appointment and handed it to John Mansfield, "Go and take office. The government will issue a statement to enhance diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level within a week."

On November 1st, the United Kingdom issued a diplomatic communiqué, establishing diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with a certain major country.

At this time in the British mainland, the next hot topic of major newspapers is the increasingly fierce Pakistani civil war and its impact. Returning to the United Nations is regarded as a timeline by Alan Wilson in a sense. Shortly after returning to the United Nations, after voting, the actual shaping of public opinion began.

Videos of widespread human rights violations in Pakistan's civil war appeared in British reports, and the documentary produced by Vivien Leigh also began to enter major theaters in the UK. Maybe James Bond, there will be a movie with this India-Pakistan war as the background in the future.
