"Permanent Undersecretary, the minister is confused about the arrangement of the visit to the Soviet Union." Dixon followed behind his immediate boss, revealing Macmillan's true thoughts in a casual tone.

"This matter is reasonable, but thank you." Standing at the door of the minister's office, Alan Wilson turned around to express his gratitude, and then pushed the door in to see what this old antique, potential spiritual American had to say.

McMillan expressed his welcome with a gentle smile, "Allen, please sit down. Many people say that you are an extremely hardworking civil servant and helped the former minister solve many things."

"Dear minister, you can't say that. Minister Harold just took office, and so did I. Many things were decided together." Alan Wilson gave the honor to the former foreign minister, Shi Shiran sat down and said, "Different from you, Honorable Minister, you have been leading the diplomatic work since World War II, and you are completely an expert. We are ready to carry out every decision made by the Minister."

"Oh no, the minister can't decide everything." Macmillan said with a pun, "Especially in diplomatic work, you should brainstorm and make the best choice for Britain."

"The minister's mind is amazing." Alan Wilson looked at Macmillan's face, probably not being the prime minister.

It is actually very simple to kill Macmillan as Prime Minister, let Aiden spend his five-year term in peace.

This group of giants of the Conservative Party will be in their seventies and eighties by then, and even if they want to do something by then, they will have no strength.

You must know that the current Prime Minister Eden is three years younger than Macmillan in age. What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to Kozlov, the number two figure in the current Soviet Union, who is two years younger than Brezhnev.

As long as it wasn't for Kozlov's own physical problems, Brezhnev would never have the chance to face Kozlov, who was younger than him, had senior qualifications and was one step ahead of him.

Kozlov's lead over Brezhnev was as solid as Brezhnev's lead over Shelepin, and even more desperate.

In view of this, the current situation is to allow Eden to finish his term as Prime Minister safely. Even if he only serves one term, the 70-year-old Macmillan is almost impossible to become the successor.

McMillan didn't know that this young executive secretary, who was always smiling everywhere he went, was speculating about his own destiny. The fate of the prime minister was full of twists and turns because of his appearance.

As Dixon said, the arrangement for the visit is the reason why McMillan called Alan Wilson to come. The Labor Party government has no problem accepting this itinerary. The Conservative Party’s hostility to the Soviet Union is more obvious, especially McMillan. Lun.

"The current situation is easing." Allen Wilson replied with a smile, "Our visit to the Soviet Union is also based on this judgment. The United States is planning to hold an American exposition in Moscow to show the superiority of the free world To live, adopt a healthy competition method to make the Soviet Union realize the gap. Taking this opportunity to go to Moscow is also to strengthen the momentum of the US allies, out of the consideration of the special relationship between Britain and the United States."

"In addition to this, there is another consideration." Before McMillan could speak, Alan Wilson said with a thoughtful look, "This is also a test. In addition to maintaining the structure of the Big Three in World War II, we also have to consider Since Charles de Gaulle came to power, France has eased its relationship with the Soviet Union, and France has been Britain’s main competitor in Europe for seven hundred years. Judging from the history of the First World War, France has a history of amicable relations with Imperial Russia.”

"We will also use this informal occasion to talk about our attitude towards France with Vice President Nixon, who is present in the United States. France seems to be taking a more neutral stance in Europe. This may disrupt the balance, and the general Ministers should not be allowed to visit Washington directly, as it would be suspected of isolating France, which would be harmful and not beneficial under the current situation, so such a third-party occasion is needed, but this third party is the Soviet Union, and it feels like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth."

"Maybe one day in the future, when it comes time to declassify the documents, it may become a gossip."

Alan Wilson found two important reasons for McMillan in one breath, hiding his dark thinking of wanting to watch the kitchen debate and being a witness to get his qualifications. Although he is currently in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is not without competitors. There are two digits in one count, the same position, there are many senior Whitehall officials with more seniority than him.

If there is a famous scene that can make him feel a sense of presence in it, it will definitely be self-evident for his role as the secretary general of the cabinet in the future. Of course, it can also serve the British Empire by the way.

The reference to France's role also makes sense, and if Alan Wilson remembers correctly, de Gaulle, after coming to power, described France's relationship with the Soviet Union as a special partnership.

The special partnership is generally used in the relationship between the United States, Japan and the United States. Since then, the relationship between France and the Soviet Union has heated up sharply.

Of course, there may be some changes now. In the original history, France and the Soviet Union were getting closer. As the United Kingdom moved closer to the United States, de Gaulle developed relations with the Soviet Union in order to check and balance Britain and the United States.

This may not be the case now, but it does not mean that France will not withdraw from NATO. France will not allow NATO to station on its soil. What kind of future this will produce, whether it is controllable or unpredictable, remains to be seen as we go.

Although Macmillan was the foreign minister of the United Kingdom before the war, he has left the ruling position for 14 years. Although he often questioned the foreign policy of the Labor Party when he was in the House of Commons, he was not in his position after all. , not all understand.

In addition, Alan Wilson didn't evade the question at all, and he went back and forth between the Soviet Union and France for a while, and he felt very reasonable for a while, "No wonder, many people think highly of it."

"It's not very high." Alan Wilson didn't feel that he couldn't talk about it at all, but he just made a modest gesture, "It's all the results of the discussions with the diplomats in the department. The credit belongs to everyone."

Walking out of the minister's office, Allen Wilson let out a sigh of relief, and finally passed the first hurdle.

The Conservative Party group has been away from the government for too long, and these ministers are easy to deal with now. Once they re-enter their roles, there may be a fight.

For his minister, Alan Wilson, who is the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has set a goal that Macmillan must not be allowed to become the prime minister at all.

This is also for the collective benefit of civil servants. With the coming of the Conservative Party, the vigorous nationalization movement will be temporarily terminated. This is not necessarily a good thing, especially for civil servants.

Not only the civil servants were struggling with the ministers, but also the bureau. When he learned that Churchill's son-in-law had doubts about the military's military expenditure and scale, Mountbatten immediately took action.

Reaffirming the role of the navy and making it recognized by the public was indeed the first task of Mountbatten as head of the military. Said to the outside world, "We must first let others admit that our ships can become large-scale mobile rocket carriers in the future, and then other matters can be brought up on the agenda."

This is the first cornerstone of the policy pursued by the Admiralty. The second cornerstone is guaranteeing support to amphibious strike forces operating around the world to protect UK interests.

"India and China have exchanged fire in the Himalayas." This telegram from Nepal was sent by Li Jisheng, the High Commissioner of the Three Himalayas specially appointed by the British before the withdrawal of British India.

With Britain's withdrawal from South Asia, because India's geographical advantages are indeed great, Li Jisheng can't act like a master when British India still existed. What's more, New Delhi has restrained itself from the legacy of the United Kingdom and has not carried out strong expulsion.

Li Jisheng also played a flexible and moral side and maintained a harmonious relationship with New Delhi~lightnovelpub.net~ After learning about this exchange of fire, Li Jisheng immediately informed London of it through a telegram from Nepal.

"Lang Jiu incident?" Allen Wilson thought back for a long time, and remembered the name of this firefight. China and India fought during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which does not mean that there were no conflicts before, but that there was no good opportunity.

The border friction has already begun. Alan Wilson's first thought was whether to inform Portugal and manipulate this matter for profit! No way, Alan Wilson is a pro-European executive deputy secretary, always thinking about making the cake bigger.

But after thinking about it, he still stopped the eagerness to make a bridge out of it. He didn't trust China in this era.

The occurrence of a firefight incident does not explain anything. I intervened in a hurry, and I was anxious to get involved before the matter was fermented. What should I do if I was betrayed by China? So far, they are class brothers in the third world. What is Britain? The old imperialism is scolded in Chinese newspapers less than a few times a month, which is not scientific at all.

Fingers knocked on the table and made a thumping sound. Alan Wilson still couldn't bear the desire to make trouble, so he picked up the phone and called Wick, the permanent secretary secretary. The UK naturally couldn't intervene, which would hurt and Relations with the former colony of India.

But Goa is there, and it is very normal to get this news. The deputy foreign minister can turn a blind eye to this matter, but at most he can only let Britain restrain himself, can he still control Portugal?

At this moment, Alan Wilson is just a porter of information, conveying this exchange of fire to the Governor of Portuguese Goa, and conveying it in a roundabout way. Put aside the suspicion and stay out of the matter.

As for Foreign Secretary Macmillan, the honorable Foreign Secretary has so many things to do every day, how can he have time to pay attention to this isolated incident.
