Edward Bridges, who was successfully persuaded to continue to benefit the society, was in a good mood and took the initiative to ask, "Alan, Norman's adjustment this time has adjusted your level to Executive Deputy Secretary-General. It can be said that you are also receiving In the ranks of trust, you are considered to be very reliable, even in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is only the Executive Deputy Secretary ahead of you."

"I think it may take time to exercise." Alan Wilson paused when he said this, "There are still many things that need a lot of help from the Jazz."

"Like our industry, we are content with the status quo and always follow the cabinet's arrangements. There are never any secrets."

Edward Bridges had a particularly strong accent on the word secret. "There are two routes you're facing at the moment, wait until Ismay leaves, and then take over as permanent secretary of the Foreign Office, if that doesn't work. The other route is To be the personal secretary to one of the ministers, who of course may take a while longer."

"You are a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but you are doing administrative affairs, which is no problem. In fact, the work of the colonies itself includes administrative affairs. In order to avoid the expansion of the power of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was divided into several departments. Office, Commonwealth and Foreign Office. So working relationships don't hold you back."

"There is actually a small problem with your age. You are just over 30 years old. Norman was already regarded as a person with real power in Whitehall, but he was already forty when he reached the rank of executive secretary. If everything goes well, You must be faster than him."

Edward Bridges analyzed from Alan Wilson's point of view, "In terms of personal connections, with General Mountbatten being there, the military is definitely not a problem. Among the business circles and aristocrats, the Mountbatten Group is now generally respected, let alone To mention that you are the deputy secretary general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, you have a huge amount of money in your hands. The only drawback is that you are in Whitehall, because you have been working abroad for a long time and may lack some accumulation, which is very troublesome, but now... "

"I really need someone like Sir to help me improve all the time." Alan Wilson, of course, knew very well in his heart that what will happen now and later, there is a lack of a person like Edward Bridges, who used to be a cabinet secretary and secretary of the civil service. A senior civil servant who also retired from the position of permanent secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

"Very good, you really are very reliable." Edward Bridges nodded with a smile, "Actually, Oxford University made me the honorary dean, the director of the Royal Bank of Scotland, the director of the Swire Group, the director of the Jardine Group, It doesn't matter to me. I mainly want to continue to defend the current interests of the British Empire, so I plan to go around in the winter to see if I can help."

"Whether it is Australia or Malaya, the climate is absolutely not a problem, the wind is sunny, and the local people should know the local customs." Alan Wilson agreed with his face, "You will never regret a trip."

"Of course, my son's project in Australia also requires Pamela to pay more attention." Edward Bridges put forward the last condition, and then said, "I suggest that you deal with all the hidden dangers as much as possible, complete the term of office or directly ahead of schedule. Come back. Of course it's just a suggestion, you can decide for yourself whether to take it or not."

"I don't quite understand." Alan Wilson directly asked Edward Bridges to explain.

"There are many competitors in the Treasury Department. You are only a latecomer at the level of Deputy Secretary General. Frank, Armstrong, and Lawrence are all senior Deputy Secretary Generals in front of you. But don't worry, they are all The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Finance hold important positions, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have them, so I suggest you try your best to seize the position after Ismay, everything is like this, there are few positions, but there are many competitors."

"Who is the most likely candidate?" Alan Wilson pointed his finger at it, indicating that he was asking about the position of the cabinet secretary.

"Everything is possible, but in my personal opinion, Burke Trend has a more complete resume. In 1945, he became a private secretary to Congress, but you don't have to worry about the Treasury Department, although I Retired, but with the Treasury Department, you can turn to Chief Economic Adviser Robert Hall when you need help."

Although Edward Bridges officially retired this time, it is not without arrangements. The role of chief economic adviser is no lighter than that of the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

The director of Mountbatten Group, Edward Bridges, also informed the reliable candidates in his heart of some of his arrangements at this time.

Alan Wilson nodded, and then left Edward Bridges' house, seeing the bustling crowd again, like a dream, but anyway, he has taken an important step in his life and entered the permanent deputy secretary. Long class.

"You...you're getting married, it's not worth waiting for so long. I thought you'd have to wait until you go to Aden for a meeting before the good news comes." Alan Wilson took a deep breath with the microphone on. With a long tone, he said to Markins over the microphone, "It's too late to say the time directly."

"God, why is your voice so strange." Makins asked strangely, "But by the way, do you want to watch an opera recently, Mary Martin is on tour in London."

"Okay, set a time." Alan Wilson tried his best to breathe calmly, and winked at Pauline Godai who was sitting upright.

Baolian Gao Dai's face was flushed red, and she cautiously did not dare to make a sound, lest she be heard.

Pauline Gaudí was relieved until Alan Wilson put down the phone, but immediately Alan Wilson sat up, making her exclaim, and she was brought up directly, "I remember, you came with Mary Martin too. Well, let me just say, you don't have any movie to promote, the Royal Bet has already been released."

"It's not that you always complain about loneliness. Just as Mary was in London, I came here." Pauline Gaudette groaned while wrapping her arms around the man's neck. "You just answered the phone and surprised me."

"However, you solved a lot of trouble for me." Alan Wilson frankly recently returned to China, some of them can't do both public and private, and they are reluctantly busy with business affairs. Pauline Godai's arrival is just right, "If you don't mind If so, don't rush back."

He is a deputy secretary general, and it is not too much to make such a request, and Pauline Godai did not refuse it.

A few days later, Alan Wilson and Markins showed up at the Opera House to watch Mary Martin perform. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Markins still had such an elegant hobby.

It's just that Alan Wilson didn't. He was already drowsy for more than half the time. If it wasn't in front of Markins' fiancee, he would have been thinking about whether to leave.

Makins' fiancée is naturally speechless in appearance, and a little childish, and she is only twenty-two years old this year. Alan Wilson, who is at the most beautiful age in his life and knows the details of his colleagues very well, can only hope that Markins can be improved after marriage.

But when he thinks about himself, he doesn't seem to be qualified to speak to others. Obviously, Markins is still very fond of this little fiancée. This girl named Julian's request is to let Markins accompany her to watch the opera.

"Ellen, Pamela's absence, your life is not normal." Markins laughed and joked, "Julian still wants to meet the famous female chairman."

"There will be this opportunity. She has been slack recently and is unwilling to fly around all the time." Ellen Wilson explained with a smile, "Actually, after the wedding, the two of you can travel in Malaya for a while, which is also very saying. The past. Then we can see each other often."

After Markins entered the Ministry of the Interior, he showed a vigorous and resolute side. For the sake of his reputation in Whitehall, he quickly held the wedding. Many officials of the Ministry of the Interior attended the wedding.

Throughout the wedding, Markins also used this occasion to build contacts with colleagues at the Ministry of the Interior.

For more than a month back and forth, Alan Wilson couldn't continue to stay in London. He visited Gerard Edward, and by the way, he stayed in Bonn for two days. After passing through Paris, Rome, and Comet 1, it landed in Aden~www.mtlnovel .com~ British South Yemen is a British colony in the Arab region, Aden, which is associated with the throat control of the Suez Canal.

Even if Britain lost Egypt, Aden would make it impossible for the forces in control of Port Said to use the Red Sea to enter the Indian Ocean. Moreover, it also makes it impossible for any external force to enter the Persian Gulf without the acquiescence and approval of the United Kingdom.

In view of this, the British stronghold in the Arab world was placed in Aden, while the rest of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman were nothing more than British protectorates, although most of the British troops in the Arab countries were deployed in the Persian Gulf.

Much of the money Britain hopes for a revival rests on it.

However, Alan Wilson's biggest impression of this place is that Houshai made the Saudi princes disgraced. It has been proved by actual actions that Soviet-style weapons are not bad, and American-style weapons can also be blown up.

The British Arab represented by Aden is, at a deep level, an extension of the British strategy in the Indo-Pacific region. Status is extremely important, and this is the purpose of this meeting in Aden.

After arriving in Aden, Alan Wilson also met with the Australian and New Zealand garrison under the guidance of his colleagues. Yes, there are also Australian and New Zealand troops stationed here, stationed in Aden under the leadership of the United Kingdom.

In the next few days, the two were hanging around waiting for the arrival of other colonial commissioners. Alan Wilson also took time to go to the Indian community. Ambani, the richest man in India who built a mansion next to the slum, should be the Indian community here. Born, I don't know if this family is here now.
