"Ireland's withdrawal from the British Commonwealth is a wake-up call to the current United Kingdom." The telegram with little content was tossed and turned in Alan Wilson's hands, and it seemed that the content of the short telegram was much more than that.

Greta Garbo, who was holding the baby in her arms, saw this and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"London summoned the colonial commissioners to return to London." Alan Wilson glanced at the baby boy in Greta Garbo's arms and apologized, "Actually, it had nothing to do with me, just because my position as Newfoundland Chief Executive did not Expired. So I am on the recall list."

"Since it was called by the London government, you can go back." Greta Garbo said understandingly, "Don't worry about me, I still have the ability to take care of a child."

"I just feel that time is running out of time." Alan Wilson frowned, but it wasn't entirely because of time management. He just finished a job in Newfoundland, just over a month later. Withdrew from the Commonwealth, life is too difficult.

On December 21, Ireland officially seceded from the Commonwealth of Nations. For Alan Wilson, who had just achieved his lofty ambitions in Newfoundland, it was like the flames of hope that had just risen, extinguished by a bath of urine.

"I won't send you off until I recover. Please pay attention to safety when you go back to China." Greta Garbo gently put down the sleeping baby and said in a soft voice, "The little man who is busier than the Prime Minister has any doubts. no?"

"Would it be good to take a family photo? It's right here with you. The child should know who I am when he grows up, right?" Alan Wilson immediately climbed the pole and made a reasonable request after hearing these kind words.

Greta Garbo narrowed her eyes and nodded lightly when she saw the look of anticipation on the face of the man in front of her.

The baby who was woken up kept crying and was finally coaxed to sleep by the mother to complete this family portrait.

Newfoundland was Britain's first overseas colony, but if you count Ireland, the question has a different explanation. British rule over Ireland began in the twelfth century.

Under centuries of British rule, Ireland is not so much a British territory, but Ireland is the earliest and most recent colony of the United Kingdom. If it were replaced by other civilizations, even the pacifists, after such a long period of rule, they would not be allowed to do so today. Irish independence was easy.

But it is precisely the land that is closest to the United Kingdom and has been ruled for hundreds of years. During the First World War, riots against Britain broke out. If the Second World War hadn't been taken seriously by Britain, Ireland would have joined the German camp.

The religious atmosphere in Europe is actually far stronger than that in the Middle East. The United Kingdom is the source of the Anglican Church, while Ireland has always been a Catholic region. In addition, the United Kingdom is at the bottom of the world in terms of national assimilation. A series of problems, although the potato disease swept across Europe, it hit Ireland alone.

It can be said that during the British rule, Ireland was a standard heresy that was more hateful than a heretic. If the Irish aristocracy and the territorial states of British India were valued, things would not have evolved into what they are today.

It's really starting to serve the UK that Alan Wilson can feel the inherent problems of the UK itself. I have a deep understanding of the strengths of different civilizations with different civilizations.

During the time of being the governor of Newfoundland, the United Kingdom did not do nothing at all. For example, it sold three giant-class aircraft carriers to Canada, Australia and the Netherlands, and the Reverend sold to the Netherlands in May, together with the previous battleship Warspite. , so that the Royal Netherlands Navy has become a sea power that cannot be underestimated.

Alan Wilson is just one of the colonial commissioners called by London to return to China this time, but he returned very quickly. The time for McCarthy in the United States to make waves is not yet there, and he has nothing to miss.

And to call the colonial commissioner to return to the country, even if he does not have his share, he will try to squeeze in, not to mention that the list of calls already has his name.

This time, the convocation, which was triggered by Ireland's separation from the Commonwealth, was ordered by Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke to discuss the problems encountered by the major colonies and how to deal with them.

Arriving in London was already Christmas, and he brought a gift to Hepburn through Alim. Alan Wilson went to Whitehall to report and was received by Ismay, the current permanent secretary of the Foreign Office.

Ismay was the secretary general of British India. After returning to China, he took over as the permanent secretary of foreign affairs. Now he is in charge of the daily work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has met Alan Wilson.

"Please sit down, you should have heard that Ireland has announced its withdrawal from the Commonwealth. Since the end of the war, the territory of the British Empire has been on fire everywhere, first in British India and Burma, then Newfoundland, and now Ireland." May asked Alan Wilson to sit down, and then his mouth was full of declining words, "Of course, the Newfoundland issue has been handled very well. London has communicated with Vancouver. So far, Washington has no objection. If it weren't for the Irish issue, Maybe we'll be happy for a while."

Ismay used to be the secretary general of British India, and he deeply knew how Alan Wilson evacuated British India while diverting his attention in two years.

What surprised him most was that the Assistant Commissioner of British India, who had proved itself to be extremely destructive, went to Newfoundland to make a change, and in the position of Chief Executive, it took less than a year to clear Newfoundland's debts. It also allowed local citizens to recognize the transformation into a royal domain.

Ismay has to admit that he was wrong, that Mountbatten's son-in-law looked more than destructive.

What surprised him the most was that the two cabinet secretaries before and after he valued this young official very much. When Norman Brooke recalled the colonial commissioner, he specifically mentioned that the list should include Alan Wilson.

"Dear Deputy Secretary, are you presiding over the meeting?" Alan Wilson asked. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Colonial Affairs, Indian Affairs, and the Commonwealth Department have changed extremely frequently in the past year or two, just like the territory of the British Empire is on fire everywhere. In the same way, this time when the commissioners from the major colonies returned to China, they didn't know what to discuss.

"No, it was Sir Norman who presided over the meeting himself." Ismay's answer was very flat, and he didn't seem to think anything was wrong, and said actively, "Sir Norman asked you to meet him when you came back."

"Understood, Sir Ismay." Alan Wilson stood up to pay his respects, and then exited the office backwards.

Colonial commissioners called back to London this time, including British Basutoland, British Bechuana, British Togo, British Cameroon, British Gold Coast, British Kenya, British Nia Saran, British Protector Commissioner for Sudan, British Zanzibar, British Malaya, and the Persian Gulf.

In fact, in the Americas, the United Kingdom still has a group of islands, but they are not included in this recall. Similarly, Cyprus and Gibraltar in Europe are no longer within the scope of the recall.

After Alan Wilson left from Ismay, the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he went to the Cabinet Secretary's office to wait. After a while, Norman Brooke summoned Alan Wilson, "Alan, isn't it a long time to be consul in Boston? boring?"

"There is such a thing, but I have been trying my best to find something to do, and it can be regarded as a gain." Although the biggest gain is to gain a son, this is a private matter, and Alan Wilson believes that Norman Brooke does not need to know.

Norman Brooke nodded, and then said, "I believe you already know about Ireland's separation from the Commonwealth, and what do you think about it."

"It diluted my good mood. I only made a little achievement in Newfoundland. After hearing the news, the complacent feeling disappeared." Alan Wilson smiled bitterly and said the truth, "But there is no way, the Irish problem For no reason whatsoever, eight hundred years of British incompetence from generation to generation. We have long since lost the chance to solve the problem, unless we were French."

"Do you think it would be better if the French ruled Ireland than what we are facing today?" Norman Brooke squinted slightly. "Is it considered from a religious point of view?"

"Yes, if Ireland were part of France, I believe Ireland would still be an inseparable part of the great France to this day. Of course it may not be good for us in the UK ~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson tells the truth, not Because the Irish problem is the pain of the United Kingdom, it should be avoided.

First of all, France is the most powerful agricultural empire in Europe. Ireland is in the hands of the French, and the great famine will not occur at all. Furthermore, because of the difference in thinking between island countries and mainland countries. France will not treat Ireland as a colony for long, sooner or later it will give it homegrown status.

Unlike England, which has conquered Ireland since the twelfth century, and has been unable to do even basic assimilation after eight hundred years. Regardless of whether the dutiful son of God in France is a joke, France and Ireland are the same faith, and they will definitely not be like the United Kingdom. Practice heresy is more hateful than heretics.

"Well, this is the end of the matter, it's not too late to make corrections. This time I called the commissioners of all the colonies in Africa and Asia back to London, just to decide on a way to deal with it." Norman Brooke pondered for a while and said, "Ai Len, you should also know what colonies mean to civil servants, right?"

Alan Wilson nodded. Of course he knew this well. If you lose colonial politicians, you won't lose anything, but what civil servants lose are jobs and space to fight against politicians. Any abandoned colonies will be a piece of meat for civil servants. .

Of course, he can't speak directly about the role of civil servants, but wants to express the interests of the British Empire, "From the current situation, every time a colony is lost, it will be fed back to the mainland, and constant turmoil is unfavorable to Britain's economic development. "
