Audrey Hepburn said to the longing that flashed in Ellen Wilson's eyes: "You are very good at lecturing, telling interesting stories in the author's life, and you seem particularly happy."

"Every writer and that piece of history is alive." Alan Wilson said, "Every short poem is a small autobiography, and this is the charm of literature."

Audrey Hepburn tilted her head, facing his eyes and said, "That's a great word! Very insightful!"

Alan Wilson smiled: "I'm quoting someone else, but when will you show me your artistic life?"

"Why? Do you want to see me clearly, or do you want me to see you clearly?" Her tone was provocative.

Audrey Hepburn responded quickly, and he felt very refreshed talking to her. She smiled, "It's just that you don't always stare at my face when you're showing off." Before he could answer, she added another sentence. But she turned around suddenly, blushing obviously, she stepped up the stone steps, said goodbye, but did not look back at him.

Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets, his head held high. The sun is starting to spin out of thin clouds. He closed his eyes, and he was full of Hepburn's smile in the dazzling golden flowers.

"Why can't I control myself, and always think about these stumbling blocks on the road to success?" Forced self-compassion, the British Empire still needs him, but still involuntarily followed behind Audrey Hepburn, he said to send Hepburn went home.

Although the candlelight dinner plan is temporarily postponed, it is also ok to find a restaurant for a rehearsal first, strike while the iron is hot. The two entered the dining room and found a place to sit; Alan Wilson pointed one forefinger at a table and sat down.

Hepburn had bright eyes and a very moving smile, Alan Wilson solemnly closed his mouth, his eyes were slightly shy and very funny. The table in the corner of the restaurant has a privileged feel, as if the bigwigs were eating here.

This hypnotic atmosphere made Hepburn very happy. The waiter was wearing the long cowhide trousers of a cowboy in the American West, with a thin body and a full of respect.

"I won't ask you about your work. Maybe you just disappeared like the last time." Hepburn smiled and said, "The world is so big, I don't know where to find you."

"I have some freshwater dolphins in Malaya!" Alan Wilson sighed, "but haven't seen it yet."

"What is Malaya? Is it a place where black people live?" Hepburn was confused. "What is the local culture like."

"There are two major groups of local residents. The most obvious culture is that local men can marry many wives." Alan Wilson said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, men pay attention to these things."

"Do you also want to marry a lot of wives? I can see it right away." Hepburn said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to think so, I thought you would be very special."

"If most men think this way, but I don't think so, doesn't that mean that there is something wrong with me?" Alan Wilson said with a helpless smile, "Don't talk about this problem, Audrey, let's settle the meal first. question."

After eating, Hepburn walked home. She walked fast, but not excessively; she walked with ease, with her head held high, with a womanly demeanor that she knew she was graceful, and hoped, not feared, that people would distinguish her from others. However, under that calm appearance, he kept paying attention to the man behind him.

Until standing at the door of the house, Hepburn turned around, and Alan Wilson, who usually followed, bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.

Alan Wilson nodded slightly, watched Hepburn open the door and entered, then stood at the door for a while before returning the same way.

"Mother!" Hepburn, who watched Alan Wilson leave along the cat's eyes, turned around and whispered, "Alan seems to be very worried. I don't know what's going on, but I can feel it."

On the second day at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building, all the colonial commissioners were not tired at all, but in good spirits. Those who didn't know thought they had encountered three great joys in life, but for their commissioner status, this was more joyful than anything else.

I don't know if I dreamed of the dawn of getting rich when I went back to sleep, but in short, after a day's meeting, everyone didn't feel tired, and they were full of energy.

A relaxed mood is contagious, even if today's issue is not easy.

To maintain the connection with overseas territories, it is essential to rely on the Suez Canal. After all, in today's colonies, except for Nigeria, which is surrounded by French Africa, all other territories need to be connected by the Suez Canal.

In essence, the outbreak of the Suez Canal War is inexplicable. Even if Nasser takes back the Suez Canal, it will not cause any economic losses to the UK. It is nothing more than the loss of the privileges of the Suez Canal.

I don't know why the prime minister at that time suddenly felt the glory of the British Empire in his heart. He insisted on killing chickens with Egypt as an example, but he became a chicken sacrificed to the flag by the United States and the Soviet Union.

"We still have places in our hands that Americans care about, that is, the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca. There are currently the Netherlands and France near the Strait of Malacca, so don't worry about it for the time being. But we are no longer in complete control of the situation near the Suez Canal. Turkey, the influence of the British Empire has been replaced by the United States. And on the side of the Suez Canal, there is an Israel that was founded with the support of the United States.”

"Our current plans are based on the fact that the Suez Canal is still open." Alan Wilson frowned and said, "If one day, the United States, which has already surpassed the Royal Navy, will pressure us to abandon the canal. What about control? Do we have a record?"

In fact, Alan Wilson has a way to prevent Prime Minister Aiden from being muddled, as long as Aiden loses the election and does not become Prime Minister.

Aiden had a routine gallstone surgery that turned out to be a turning point in his life. Due to a mistake, the doctor cut off his bile duct. In order to stop the severe pain, the doctor used a new special drug - amphetamine, which later generations used to call it methamphetamine. Drugs are not only highly addictive, they can also make people lose their minds. Of course, the matter was kept strictly secret, and two years later, Aiden successfully became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

If Aiden is addicted, just leak the news when Aiden is campaigning. In this era, the idea of ​​​​the UK will be finished before it is happy. Most people can forgive it. It is absolutely impossible for the Prime Minister to win the election with this disease.

But what if Aiden still wins the election? I began to feel that the British Empire was okay, and if I had to shake the prestige of imperialism, the problem would be very big.

The old boss, Sir Barron, is now the commissioner of the Persian Gulf. In fact, he is also clear about the problems of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal, the throat of the Mediterranean Sea, the lifeline of the British Empire, the main international shipping route connecting the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, is one of the most important waterways in the world.

Once the Suez Canal is in trouble, the control of the entire colony will be greatly reduced for the United Kingdom. Existing colonies will be affected, except Nigeria, which will not be affected.

Whether it is the Persian Gulf, Malaya, or the major colonies of British Africa, this shock will be felt.

"Allen's concern is very reasonable. In fact, the Foreign Secretary is also very worried. The importance of the Suez Canal to the British Empire is self-evident. No matter how to prepare for it." Norman Brooke heard this The question, his expression became obviously solemn, "Egypt is not without the voice of the United Kingdom. Once there is a problem here, everything that was discussed yesterday is a fantasy."

Don't think about it! Many colonial commissioners were so happy that they couldn't sleep, and today's meeting became a fantasy?

In order not to dream, many colonial officials expressed their opinions and proposed ways to strengthen the supervision of the Suez Canal.

"I also have an idea, but it may be politically incorrect to say it, because the Jews should be regarded as the hands~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson said hesitantly, "Egypt and the Middle East countries are similar to the United Kingdom in one way. , that is, the thinking of the local monarch is still strong. In fact, from the perspective of national attributes, he should become an ally of the United Kingdom. "

"Of course, and the Arab world is vast, no country will be too offended, not even the United States." Sir Ismay nodded in approval, "This time the Israeli-Palestinian war can prove it, whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union. , are not willing to offend the Arab world too much."

"But the United States finally sent troops!" Alan Wilson laughed and said, "Do we remember the speech that Churchill gave in the United States after he lost the election?"

"Of course!" The Colonial Commissioners, including Sir Barron, all leaned back, waiting for Alan Wilson's next words.

"Mr Churchill's idea is to have a full-scale confrontation involving politics, military and diplomacy, but not really fight, but bring down the opponent. Prime Minister Attlee thinks this is not good for Britain. In fact, it is very bad. The United States is separated by an Atlantic Ocean, and it is us who will pay the price for confrontation. Even if we pay the same price, the United States still has spare power to attack our colonies, but we have no spare power to protect those territories.”

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly changed the conversation, "The confrontation must wait until the mainland is not affected. But if it is not in Europe? Isn't it impossible to use a similar operation? We mediate in the middle, gather all the Arab monarchies, and fight against Israel. Will launching a blockade and an arms race and then pushing the Egyptian Sultan as the leader of the alliance will make the situation a little bit better?"

Alan Wilson was saying that the Cold War could have started in the Middle East, and now is just the right time. Britain can export military equipment and use Arab power to transfer contradictions.
