"British Civil Servant ( Find the latest chapter!

"As an entourage on a visit to the Soviet Union? Is this inappropriate?" Alan Wilson muttered to himself, causing Ismay, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to frown slightly. Why does such a burdensome trip seem unpopular ?

Alan Wilson returned to Europe for the first time. When he was operating under the cover of the Soviet Union during the Potsdam Conference, Ismay was still the secretary general in British India. He asked directly, "What's wrong?"

"Sir Ismay, I'm the Boston consul. I'm preparing to return to the United States to continue my work recently." Alan Wilson organized the language, "If you appear in the entourage of the Soviet Union visiting the Soviet Union? It always feels strange!"

"There's nothing surprising!" Ismay said flatly, "Easing the situation is the top priority for this government, you can't work for the country with a critical attitude, you can't be happy because the conditions in the United States are good, and the conditions in the Soviet Union are good. Just complain."

A big truth was poured into his ears, and Alan Wilson's face of approval seemed to explode suddenly. At any time, he will go through fire and water for the British Empire.

So I took over the preparation proposals and studied the itinerary of this visit to the Soviet Union. Among them, there was one proposal that London attached great importance to. It is to be able to make a moderating attitude in Germany and appropriately reduce the size of the army stationed in Germany.

In fact, this is a requirement for the Soviet Union, because the size of the Soviet troops stationed in Germany is greater than the number of troops stationed in the occupied areas of the Three Kingdoms. London hopes to establish a communication mechanism to maintain the transparency of each occupied area.

Alan Wilson believes that the Soviet Union is not at a disadvantage. The Soviet Union should know about the various remarks of the United States about forming a military alliance. Considering that there are people like the Cambridge Five in London, Moscow should also know that London has no intention of starting a confrontation in a hurry. Churchill's Iron Curtain speech was just his personal speech.

Now Churchill is just a well-known troll in the House of Commons, and sometimes in opposition parties, he is almost like a staff officer without a leader.

"The proposal is to establish a transparent mechanism for the military in the occupied area. To mediate a major civil war?" Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and directly pulled out this proposal. He found the Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had met at the reception and put This material was handed over to the other party.

As a civil servant in the British Empire, Alan Wilson still has to avoid suspicion at critical moments. The most important thing is that this proposal is more difficult than the proposal about the army in the occupied area, and he cannot let the impossible things fall into his hands.

Therefore, Alan Wilson kept the more difficult motions for himself, leaving the simple and easy-to-achieve motions to others.

For this, his colleagues also expressed their gratitude. Maybe now, in addition to Alan Wilson himself, Whitehall thinks that the proposal of the troops stationed in Germany is simpler. China is just a far-flung corner. What is there to be concerned about?

Because of the accompanying trip to Moscow, Alan Wilson had to ask Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin for instructions on the preparations for this visit.

"Oh, Alan, you may be a little overwhelmed about this trip to Moscow, but it doesn't matter. It won't delay your work." Ernest Bevin reached out and seated Alan Wilson, then said, "About What do you think about the relationship with the Soviet Union?"

"Sooner or later we will turn against the Soviet Union, but if we start a confrontation with the current situation, it must be subordinate to the United States. Of course this is the idea of ​​​​the Conservative Party. I will not comment on whether there are differences between the parties." Alan Wilson said Turning to this point, "The current situation facing the British Empire is very contradictory. In terms of the situation in Europe, we should firmly stand on the side of the United States, but on the issue of overseas territories, the United States is more of a threat than the Soviet Union. Big. This is very embarrassing!"

"Yeah, I believe the results of the Dutch affairs will come in the past two days." Ernest Bevan said indifferently, "This way we can see what attitude the United States has on the colonial issue. You said that the UK has to deal with different issues in different ways, which is very contradictory."

In fact, from the beginning of the war, the United Kingdom began to urgently invite the United States to protect Europe. Ernest Bevan made a huge effort as foreign secretary.

But the war had just ended, and the United States was not very interested in confronting the Soviet Union. Until the independence of British India, the United States had no apparent intention to confront the Soviet Union. This is completely different from the enthusiasm of the past two years!

In the two years before British India became independent, 100,000 British Indian civil servants worked together, driving all the colonies to collect 1.2 billion pounds of wealth and solving London's big financial problems. And through various channels, the United Kingdom probably confirmed that the Soviet Union's loss of manpower was indeed the realization of Churchill's remarks on the operating table.

In this case, Britain's heart for confrontation is not so urgent, and the United States is not as calm as it was when the war just ended. The attitude of Britain and the United States towards the Soviet Union is now reversed from that in the first two years after the war.

The problems facing this Labour government go far beyond that. Ernest Bevin and Attlee actually want to get closer to Europe.

However, Bevin's attempts to actively promote the realization of the customs union have always met with strong opposition from those economic departments in the British government who have left and right in European economic policy. trade between federal states.

Opponents argue that a Labour government's option to weaken the Commonwealth and integrate with a fragile and volatile Europe is unlikely. It is therefore incorrect to suggest that the Labour government has given up its leadership of the European Union, because Bevin had indeed tried to lead the European Union out of his own interests.

When the union of Europe refers to the European integration movement, it is basically true, because for whatever reason, Bevin's conception of a "third power" cannot cross the boundaries of a national character.

This matter has been packaged by the three-ring diplomacy, and it has finally been fooled, allowing the Labour Party to overcome many opponents and complete a step to dominate Europe. From this point of view, the foreign secretary should thank Alan Wilson.

Britain's previous stall was too big, but after the World War, it was not strong enough, which led to the United Kingdom facing different problems and may have different opponents, and sometimes had to sway with the wind.

Before 1947, the foreign minister, who had been trying to pull the United States against the Soviet Union, had to talk to the Soviet Union about the elimination of hostility. This was the exact opposite position, and it was difficult for him.

The current Labour government's view of a major civil war tries to sit back and watch with a hands-off attitude.

The most important thing is to stay far away and not pay attention. And the Greek civil war that is very close is also the foreign minister in front of him. Taking the example of the first apple falling in spring, he said that once the first apple fell, the apples of the whole apple tree would fall. This is similar to The theory of the falling dominoes calls for the United States to take over support for Greece and Turkey against Soviet pressure.

In fact, the current situation in Asia is also in line with Ernest Bevin's call for Washington's intervention in Greece at that time.

But at this time, Ernest Bevin did not have the idea of ​​being hostile to the Soviet Union at all. The idea of ​​a time has a time, and Ernest Bevin is different from his own thinking two years ago.

"Actually, Alan, don't you think about becoming a minister at an appropriate time in the future? Your first cabinet secretary in Whitehall resigned after leaving office and finally became a minister." Ernest Bevan Ask with a smile.

"It's not about being ready to run at any time, so what kind of slogan should I think about?" This is the question of the foreign secretary. Of course, Alan Wilson couldn't give the other party a death stare, and said from the heart, "How about making Britain great again?" This is absolutely suitable for the situation facing the UK at this time."

Ernest Bevan's face changed. In fact, this slogan is really acceptable, simple and easy to understand, and it is also in line with the current chaotic situation faced by the UK~lightnovelpub.net~ It is not impossible to adopt.

It has been almost four years since Labour defeated the Conservatives in 1945. Since the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of the Parliament, this also means that the term of office of the British Prime Minister is the same as that of the Parliament.

The term of each parliament is generally five years, but it may also be temporarily dissolved, so its specific term is uncertain. At the same time, it also shows that the term of office of the British Prime Minister cannot be determined, but each term will not exceed five years.

Labour has now been in power for four years and there must be an election next year before its term expires. It's about whether Labour can really stand up to the long-standing Conservatives, rather than just come to power in a flash.

For this time, Ernest Bevin, the No. 2 figure in the Labour Party, attaches the same importance as Prime Minister Attlee.

"Make England great again!" muttered Ernest Bevan, unaware that Alan Wilson had left.

Ernest Bevin came back to his senses, and now he still has to consider the issue of visiting the Soviet Union. If he can successfully achieve his goal, it will not be too late to be great again.

Before the visit to the Soviet Union, the biggest problem in the current diplomatic field was neither London nor Moscow. It's at the UN General Assembly and in Amsterdam.

The Dutch government officially announced that it would not continue to maintain its rule in the East Indies, and immediately came up with a plan. This is the first time that the Netherlands has indicated that the future of the East Indies can be negotiated after several military operations against Indonesia, which have been exhausted.

The change in the attitude of the Netherlands has not only attracted the attention of the independent Indonesians, but also attracted the attention of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand. The capitals of European countries and diplomats of various countries are conducting secret communications.
