This is the first time he has presided over a formal meeting of the Foreign Office, and it happens that the Foreign Secretary is not in London, which is a good time.

After many years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also seen some new faces. For example, Milton, the original personnel director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has retired. It is also the right time to discuss the issue of the Falkland Islands. Because at this time, the issue of the ownership of the Falkland Islands has been submitted to the United Nations for discussion.

From this point, it can be seen that the United Kingdom does not pay much attention to the issue of the ownership of the Falkland Islands, otherwise this issue will not be allowed to be discussed at the United Nations.

You must know that this year, the United Kingdom sold the Giant-class aircraft carrier during World War II to the Argentine Navy. If it pays special attention to the ownership of the Falkland Islands, how can it strengthen the navy of an enemy country?

Leaving aside the issue of the ownership of the Falkland Islands, the relationship between Britain and Argentina is actually quite good.

The Falkland Islands are not without strategic value, which was mainly reflected before the opening of the Panama Canal.

The Panama Canal was officially opened in 1914, just before World War I broke out. During World War I, the Royal Navy used the Falkland Islands as a base to intercept and kill the German navy overseas.

Regarding the current negotiations on the ownership of the Falkland Islands, the attitudes of the United Kingdom and Argentina can be understood as, I can also say that I can also be patriotic, and there is no tension at all.

The United Kingdom did not put on an imperialist face because of the disparity in its international status and military strength. Generally speaking, the discussion of the Falkland Islands issue was quite peaceful.

During Mrs Thatcher's time, the United Kingdom suddenly went to war because of the Falkland Islands, which was beyond the expectations of the Argentine military government. Because for decades after World War II, Britain has always put on an appearance that it can talk calmly.

"This is an era of reconciliation. Let us focus on the future and seek common ground while reserving differences." Alan Wilson expressed his attitude dryly during the discussion. "Actually, we have a pretty good relationship with Argentina, don't we? We only sold them an aircraft carrier. The public opinion in some other countries, saying that we will go to war with Argentina because of a marginal land, is simply nonsense."

The meeting room fell into a brief silence, and then they all nodded in agreement. From various perspectives, they thought that the views of their immediate superiors were reasonable, and there were some reasons that even Alan Wilson, who was just talking about it, didn't think of it.

For example, from the perspective of offshore balance, one of the Deputy Secretary-General believes that maintaining a harmonious relationship with Argentina will help balance the influence of Brazil in South America, a country that exceeds its neighbors in size.

How clever, Alan Wilson didn't even think of this, otherwise why so many bureaucrats like to promote sycophants? It all makes sense.

"Offshore balance is only one aspect." Alan Wilson, with his unpredictable appearance, seemed calm and calm. He had already begun to win the battle thousands of miles away, and was considering moving the machine gun positions in the Falkland Islands by five meters...

Alan Wilson, who talked about peace and constructive communication, changed his face during his previous tenure in Asia.

Alan Wilson's remarks at that time, including but not limited to, on the Goa issue, "When Goa was occupied by Portugal, India did not even exist."

On the issue of the Dutch East Indies, "An independent country takes it for granted that it is entitled to inherit all the land of the suzerain country? It is simply a kind of naivety. I am poor and I am justified."

At this moment, Alan Wilson, who is the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, temporarily forgot the family's remarks that were not fully considered before at this meeting, put away his imperialist face, and decided to resolve the Falkland Islands peacefully The tone of belonging.

But Argentina must not be allowed to take it away, and put the issue of the Falkland Islands in the United Nations to slowly kill time. When conflicts are about to erupt, it is easy to arouse them.

It is possible that the existence of Allen Wilson will lead to an insignificant decline in Britain's military strength.

However, the main conditions that triggered the war still exist. As long as Argentina's economy is poor and it wants to divert the conflict, there is a possibility of war.

If Argentina hesitates, he can hire a few Argentine patriots, land in the Falkland Islands and wave the Argentine flag, then deal with the matter coldly, and use the hegemony of public opinion to put the Argentine government on fire.

So as long as the Argentine economy goes from one bankruptcy to another, there is a possibility of war breaking out in the Falkland Islands, and Alan Wilson's job is to give Argentina the illusion that I can...

"The Minister of Foreign Affairs will be back in a few days. We will tell Lord Cassia to communicate with the Argentines at the United Nations meeting." Alan Wilson said this and asked Harold Wilson's private secretary, "Dixon, Minister Come back in a few days."

"Farouk I is talking to the minister about the ownership of the Suez Canal." Dixon took out the Egyptian schedule and replied, "Today should be to visit the pyramids."

"Our attitude is still the same as before, discussing the management rights of the Aswan Dam and the canal together." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Have we talked about the sale of the aircraft carrier that the Navy is concerned about?"

"When it comes to this issue, it went very smoothly, and the attitude of the cabinet is quite tolerant. As long as Egypt pays the modification fee, it can be sold to Egypt." Dixon expressed optimism on this issue, "The minister talked very well, Faro King Ke I is indeed very interested, and public opinion in Egypt has also expressed support for Egypt, as the Arab leader, to protect the Sultanate of Zanzibar on the east coast of Africa."

"Compared with the problem of the Suez Canal, an old World War II aircraft carrier is quite cost-effective. And Egypt also promised to pay for the modification." Alan Wilson nodded in satisfaction, "Putting Egypt into the situation in Black Africa, in general Britain still has a lot to gain by keeping black people calm."

As long as the Suez Canal is safe, there is no other way to cut off the link between Britain and the colonies.

"Arrange a radio station and prepare for an interview after the minister comes back. Of course, when we praise the minister, we should not forget that respecting the opponent is respecting ourselves. His Majesty Farouk I who seems to have the illusion that Ali Pasha is alive, It should also be elevated to a certain level.”

Alan Wilson clapped his hands and extracted a few key words, "The second Ali Pasha is difficult to deal with, and you should use a little more hinting words hidden in the cotton. Anyway, ordinary citizens are ignorant and ignorant, just listen to it and feel that it is not clear."

"Sir Wilson, the Minister must be very happy to be arranged for such a visit." Dixon complimented with a knowing look.

"We have to give the ministers achievements, and we can't just say that the ministers are unprofessional. How many professionals are there? The happiness is all based on comparison. We give the ministers space, and the ministers will also give us space. Let's make progress together."

"The minister just took office not long ago. He has only visited the United States. Let's arrange the minister's visit itinerary. There are also many important countries, but it is best to postpone the itinerary of France and wait for it to stabilize."

Dixon nodded repeatedly, and then asked for instructions, "Sir Wilson, should you add your name to the list of visits first or not? We will make arrangements then."

"I also want to arrange my own itinerary, let me know when the time comes, and add my name if I have time." Alan Wilson presided over the foreign ministry meeting for the first time, and it ended amidst laughter .

Based on the current support rate of the Labor Party cabinet, maybe Harold Wilson has completed all the visits, and the general election should be held. Maybe the respected Foreign Secretary will complete the magnificent transformation from a minister to a backbench member. It's not sure. .

Harold Wilson, who was valued in Egypt, didn't know yet. He hadn't come back yet, and he had been clearly arranged by his executive deputy.

Alan Wilson, who had completed the first executive meeting, was in a good mood and got together with Lord Sheffield of the Home Office.

The British Foreign Office and the Home Office have a relationship~lightnovelpub.net~The Foreign Office was originally formed by the merger of the Southern Department and the Northern Department. Each of these two departments covers foreign and domestic affairs.

The foreign affairs responsibilities of both ministries became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while their domestic affairs responsibilities were assigned to the Home Office.

Now, one of the basic tasks of the Foreign Office is to promote and support the British economy; provide consular services to British nationals overseas; and support the British Home Office's overseas entry visa applications, which are closely related to the Home Office.

"Sir Wilson, what emotion do you have after witnessing a great change in France?" Makins asked with a smile while holding his glass.

"The feeling is that only de Gaulle can save France." Alan Wilson replied half-jokingly, and then changed the topic, "I don't know what happy things have happened recently, especially the zoo."

"The happy things in the House of Commons are also closely related to the chaos in France. In fact, you also know that sometimes the opposition party also understands that if it were them, they would make the same decisions as the ruling party, but they would not quarrel. How can you show the function of the opposition party?" Maggins shrugged while holding a glass of wine, "How are you and your minister? Have you dealt with him?"

"I hate the word get it done. We are collaborators." Alan Wilson straightened his back and said righteously, "We are all serving the interests of the British Empire, and we are selfless and sincerely cooperating with each other."

"It seems to be done." Makins nodded clearly, "Maybe the methods used are different, but they all lead to the same goal. Don't let the minister interfere with the normal government operation. The specific method is not so important. , Individuals have personal privacy."

The slander, the fake, and the obvious shameful frame, Alan Wilson just wanted to refute, Maggins called the waiter, "Give me another glass of whiskey, oh no, two glasses, thank you."
