"British Civil Servant ( Find the latest chapter!

On April 2, the Dutch government officially announced that it would make the East Indies independent and adopt the terms of partition, retaining the islands of Kalimantan and New Guinea under the Dutch rule, and the rest of the East Indies could be handed over to the Indian government.

After the partition of India and Pakistan, the Dutch government officially began to follow the footsteps of the British Empire and adopted a partition policy for the East Indies under its control of 2 million square kilometers. Half of the East Indies, nearly one million square kilometers.

After the Dutch government announced the news, the countries that have been concerned about what plan the Netherlands will take can not help but be astonished.

But almost on the same day, Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium expressed their support for the partition plan of the Netherlands within one day. Later, Australia and New Zealand also expressed support for this plan.

On April 2, eight countries, including Australia and New Zealand, supported the Dutch partition plan for the Dutch East Indies. At the UN General Assembly, Alexander Cadogan, representing Britain, loudly praised partition as the best solution. The method not only shows the sincerity of the Dutch, but also can avoid conflicts.

"As we all know, many things are not as simple as they seem. The northern part of Kalimantan used to belong to the Kingdom of Brunei. It would be very unfair for Brunei to merge into Indonesia, which would easily lead to conflicts between the two countries, while Guinea and Java The relationship between the two islands is only under the common rule of the Netherlands, and it cannot be unilaterally believed that the two islands are related because of such an administrative division.”

Alexander Cadogan took a biased stance and stood firmly on the side of the Netherlands. Subsequently, representatives from France and other countries agreed. Representatives from Australia and New Zealand also spoke successively, saying that the Dutch government, after careful consideration, was absolutely responsible and absolutely avoidable. The aftermath of the partition of India and Pakistan.

Together with the United Kingdom and France, the support of eight countries, including the two permanent members, made the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations quite stunned.

But at a glance, it can be seen that, with the exception of Australia and New Zealand, they are all European colonial countries.

Even if you don't know the colonial countries, these countries together, and Australia and New Zealand are so firm in supporting the Netherlands, the United States is not easy to oppose it.

At this moment, the U.S. stationed in the United Nations looked at the Soviets with great anticipation. As long as the Soviets objected, the U.S. would keep up. I believe that the Soviet Union, which has been opposed from time to time since the establishment of the United Nations, will not disappoint the U.S.

The Soviet ambassador to the United Nations did not end up saying nothing, much to the dismay of the Americans.

"When the United Kingdom is about to visit Moscow, it is not appropriate for us to express our position on this matter." Stalin, who was smoking a big pipe, took two steps back and forth and said to Molotov, "The current situation is very complicated, and we are the most The focus, or even the only direction, is Europe, which will not change in the foreseeable future. In fact, we can also see from this incident that on the colonial issue, the United States and European countries are not close.”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. The Netherlands has just announced its partition, and that day Britain, France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, as well as Australia and New Zealand next to the East Indies, expressed their support. It is unconvincing to say that there was no private communication. Yes." Molotov frowned and said, "Now it seems that Attlee's Labour cabinet is also imperialist thinking, no different from Churchill."

"No, there is still a difference." Stalin knocked on his pipe, "Anyway, he is definitely better than Churchill. I have only two people in my life that I can't see through. One is Hitler and the other is him. The actions of these two people cannot be described with rationality. The difference is that there is no American help next to Hitler. It can be said that the plight of the United Kingdom today has a great relationship with Churchill. "

"Currently our main purpose in Europe is to try to use time to recover domestic losses." Stalin asked rhetorically, "I heard that Britain has cancelled the rationing system?"

"That's it!" Molotov replied. "Do you want to call Malenkov for internal affairs?"

"It's not necessary. In fact, we should end the rationing system. Let each department come up with a report to see if the conditions for canceling the rationing system are sufficient." Stalin shook his head slightly, "It can't continue like this forever."

Naturally, current Moscow is not interested in bringing justice to the Indonesian independence movement.

The current Soviet naval power cannot exert influence on Indonesia, and the good news in Asia is enough to be happy for the current Moscow. It is not yet ripe for a full-scale confrontation with imperialism, so it is better to wait.

Moscow's astonishing silence surprised the United States, which had been waiting eagerly for the Soviet Union to throw the cup. This is not the character of the Soviet Union. From the establishment of the United Nations to the present, the veto power alone has been used by the Soviet Union many times.

The Soviet Union used its veto for the first time three years ago when it passed a majority-voted resolution by the United States and the Netherlands on the withdrawal of British and French troops from Lebanon and Syria. At that time, the Soviet Union's opinion was not much different from the US-Dutch proposal. The purpose of the Soviet Union's veto was to mark the political opposition with Western countries.

The Soviets, who have always used their veto to gain their sense of existence, did not seek justice for the crimes committed by the sinful colonial countries against the colonies this time. Americans want to question the Soviets, "Just like you, do you still want to liberate the world?"

The Soviet Union looked like I was busy, which made the United States very embarrassed to be ready to follow the Soviet Union and reap the benefits.

You must know that the countries that support the partition of the East Indies this time are all targets of the United States. If the United States is too obvious on this issue to make the colonies of these European colonial countries independent, it will not be conducive to the relationship with the Soviet Union. confrontation.

The Soviet Union, as well as Eastern Europe as a whole, remained surprisingly silent on all kinds of remarks about the partition of the East Indies.

As if it didn't know about it, no newspaper reported it, but it reported on the progress of a major civil war, believing that it was a shameful failure of U.S. imperialism.

"Yes, it's not enough to burn all the rubber forests. You should use a minelayer to mine all the metal mines, so that the mine detectors are useless, and the mines can't be cleared. The wells are filled, and the industrial waste is dumped. Entering the river and shelling Jakarta before leaving, why not use the battleship? The Dutch are still too rigid.”

On the bench in Hyde Park, holding a newspaper and reading the news about the spread of fires caused by the hot weather in Indonesia, Alan Wilson was in the situation and could not wait to personally go into battle to formulate an evacuation plan for the Dutch and fight for the French. A sample.

"Alan!" With a melodious female voice, Alan Wilson put away the newspaper without a trace. As for the minelaying and shelling, it was all a misunderstanding.

Standing up and facing the source of the voice full of gentleman's style, Ellen Wilson said with a bright smile, "Audrey, your dress today is eye-catching, only you can make the ordinary dress impressive. profound."

"How can there be!" Audrey Hepburn had a fever in her ears and asked with a smile, "Look at what? I saw you talking to yourself from a long distance."

"It's about a piece of news from the Netherlands. I think you grew up in the Netherlands, so you paid more attention. The Dutch possessions in Asia have been peacefully settled, which is really a happy thing." Alan Wilson seems to be concerned about peace Very happy with the successful resolution.

About to go on a business trip, Alan Wilson invited Hepburn to go out for a walk and cultivate a relationship. During the period, he said some interesting things about Whitehall. He knew that Hepburn was not very interested in politics, so the topic was limited to Whitehall's jokes.

These funny Hepburn couldn't close his mouth and said with a smile, "I thought you were all serious about working for the government?"

"We are all ordinary people, and we do the same things as ordinary people." Alan Wilson pursed his lips.

Thirty years later, there will be a TV series called Minister, and the protagonist in it is more like a collection of prime ministers and cabinet secretaries, condensing several characters. So strictly speaking there is no prototype!

But there is a former Prime Minister in the background~lightnovelpub.net~The prototype must be the current Prime Minister Attlee. Because Jim Harker's party has been in opposition for a long time, it was the former prime minister who led the party to turn around.

This is the current state of the Labour Party, the main thing is that the former Prime Minister of Jim Harker took down the deputy whip before leaving office, which is exactly what the current Prime Minister Attlee and the Deputy Labour leader Herbert Morrison did. relation.

The relationship between Prime Minister Attlee and Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison is one that everyone can see. The reason is because when Labour decided the future leader, Herbert Morrison, who would have been more qualified, lost his MP seat because of the election defeat.

The British election is essentially a party election, and the party whip automatically becomes the prime minister. Herbert Morrison, who lost his seat that time, watched Attlee become the leader of the Labour Party, and he has been brooding in the following days.

Attlee also knew about this. The relationship between the two was exactly the relationship between the former prime minister and the deputy whip when Jim Harker was minister.

However, unlike the TV series, Attlee did not give the successor a chance to change his face because of a heart attack. Instead, he went to the House of Lords after he was always certain that Labour had no chance of winning the election again.

Until the evening, Alan Wilson invited Hepburn to have a candlelight dinner, and then sent Hepburn back.

"I'm going to visit Moscow with the Foreign Secretary, can you give me a blessing or something?" Alan Wilson asked pitifully.

Audrey Hepburn looked at Alan Wilson, whose eyes were full of anticipation, walked to the man, and tiptoed to the water...

"I seem to be full of motivation!" Alan Wilson recalled for a long time, until Hepburn disappeared behind the door.

What American emperor Su Xiu is also a happy one, he Alan Wilson is the big BOSS who has practiced magic skills for many years and left behind a profound way.
