British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 998: porter of information

"Secretary, the minister is confused about the arrangement of his visit to the Soviet Union." Dixon followed behind his immediate boss and casually revealed Macmillan's true thoughts.

"It makes sense, but thank you." Standing at the door of the Chancellor's Office, Alan Wilson turned around to express his thanks, then pushed the door open to see what this old antique, potential spiritual American had to say.

Macmillan welcomed with a gentle smile, "Alan, please take a seat. Many people say that you are an extremely diligent civil servant who helped the former minister solve many things."

"Respected minister, I can't say the same. Minister Harold just took office, and so do I. Many things were decided together." Alan Wilson gave the honor to the former foreign minister, and Shi Shiran sat down and said, "Unlike you, esteemed minister, you have been leading the diplomatic work since World War II. You are a complete connoisseur. We are ready to carry out every decision made by the minister."

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

"The minister's chest is surprising." Alan Wilson looked at Macmillan's face, and it was estimated that he would not be prime minister.

The road to ending Macmillan's prime ministership is actually very simple, and 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, they will not have the strength.

You must know that the current Prime Minister Aiden is three years younger than Macmillan. What is this equivalent to? It is equivalent to Kozlov, the No. 2 figure in the Soviet Union, who is two years younger than Brezhnev.

As long as it wasn't for Kozlov's own health problems, Brezhnev would never have a chance to face Kozlov, who was younger than himself, older than him, and one step ahead.

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

In view of this, the current situation is for Aiden to finish his term as prime minister safely. Even if he only serves one term, it is almost impossible for Macmillan, who is already 70 years old, to become the successor.

Macmillan didn't know that this young executive secretary, who always laughed wherever he went, was speculating about his own destiny, and the fate of the doomed Prime Minister was ups and downs because of his appearance.

As Dixon said, the arrangement of the trip was the reason why Macmillan called Alan Wilson. The Labour government could accept this trip without any problem. The hostility of the Conservative Party to the Soviet Union was more obvious, especially Macmillan. Lun.

"The current situation is de-escalation." Alan Wilson sat upright and replied with a smile, "Our visit to the Soviet Union is also based on this judgment. The United States is preparing to hold the American Exposition in Moscow to show the superiority of the free world. Life, and adopting a healthy competition approach made the Soviet Union realize the gap. Taking this opportunity to go to Moscow is also for the sake of the American allies to gain momentum and for the consideration of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.”

"In addition to this, there is another consideration." Before Macmillan could speak, Alan Wilson said with a thoughtful tone, "This is also a test, in addition to maintaining the pattern of the Big Three in World War II, we must also consider France has eased relations with the Soviet Union since Charles de Gaulle came to power. France has been Britain's main rival in Europe for seven hundred years. From the history of the First World War, France has an old story of harmonious relations with imperial Russia."

"We also took this informal occasion to speak with Vice President Nixon, who was present from the United States, about our attitude towards France, which seems to be taking a more neutral footing in Europe. This could upset the balance, and the general The ministers cannot be allowed to visit Washington directly, which is suspected of isolating France, which is harmful and unprofitable under the current situation, so such a third party is needed, but this third party is the Soviet Union, and there is a feeling of pulling teeth from a tiger’s mouth.”

"Maybe one day, when it's time to decipher the files, this will become an anecdote."

Alan Wilson found two important reasons for Macmillan in one breath. He concealed his dark thinking of wanting to watch the kitchen debate and be a witness to brush his qualifications. Although he is currently in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is not without competitors. One digit has two digits, the same position, the senior Whitehall officials with more seniority than him are gone.

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

The reference to France's role also makes sense, if Alan Wilson remembers correctly, de Gaulle, after taking 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 and Japan and the United States and Germany. 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, the approach of France and the Soviet Union was due to the linkage relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. In order to balance the United Kingdom and the United States, Charles de Gaulle developed relations with the Soviet Union.

It may not be like this now, but it does not mean that France will not withdraw from NATO, and France will not allow NATO to be stationed on its territory. What kind of future this will produce, whether it is controllable or unpredictable, we have to see as we go.

Although Macmillan was the foreign secretary of the UK before the war, he has been out of power for 14 years. Although he was in the House of Commons, he often questioned the foreign policy of the Labour Party, but he was not in his position after all. , not all understand.

In addition, Alan Wilson did not evade the question at all. The Soviet Union and France went back and forth for a while, and for a while, he even had a very reasonable feeling, "No wonder, many people have high evaluations."

"It's impossible to talk about being very high." Alan Wilson didn't feel that it was impossible to talk about, just made a humble gesture, "It's all the result of the talented diplomats in the department, and the result of the discussion. The credit belongs to everyone."

Walking out of the minister's office, Alan Wilson let out a long sigh and finally passed the first level.

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

For his minister, Alan Wilson, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has set a goal, and he must not let Macmillan have even a little candidate to become prime minister.

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

It was not only the civil servants who were struggling with the ministers, but also the bureau. Knowing that Churchill's son-in-law had doubts about the military's military spending and scale, Mountbatten immediately took action.

Reaffirming the role of the navy and making it public was indeed Mountbatten's first priority as head of the military. "We can only let others admit that our ships can become the carrier of large-scale swimming rockets in the future, and then other matters can be put on the agenda."

This is the first cornerstone of the policy pursued by the Admiralty. The second cornerstone is a pledge to support amphibious strike forces around the world on a mission to protect British interests.

"India and China have exchanged fire in the Himalayas." This telegram from Nepal was sent by Li Jisheng, a specially appointed high commissioner for the three Himalayan countries before the British evacuated British India.

With the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from South Asia, because India's geographical advantages are indeed great, Li Jisheng can't be like a superior man when British India still existed. What's more, New Delhi has restrained the legacy of the United Kingdom and did not forcefully drive it away.

Li Jisheng also played a flexible moral side and maintained a harmonious relationship with New Delhi. Li Jisheng informed London about the exchange of fire this time through Nepal's telegram.

"Lang Jiu incident?" Alan Wilson recalled for a long time and remembered the name of this exchange of fire~lightnovelpub.net~ China and India were printed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which does not mean that there were no contradictions before, but Not a good chance.

The border friction has already begun, and Alan Wilson's first thought was whether to inform the Portuguese side and operate this matter for profit! No way, Alan Wilson is a pro-European permanent secretary who always wants to make the cake bigger.

But thinking about it still stopped the eagerness to build bridges from it. He did not trust China in this era.

The occurrence of a firefight incident does not mean anything. He intervenes in a hurry, and the matter is not fermented, and he is anxious to collude. What should I do if I am betrayed by China? So far, they are class brothers in the third world. What is Britain? Old-fashioned imperialism, not being scolded by Chinese newspapers a few times a month, is not scientific at all.

There was a thumping sound when his fingers tapped on the table, and Alan Wilson couldn't help but want to make trouble. He picked up the phone and called Wick, the permanent secretary. Naturally, the UK could not intervene. relations with the former colony of India.

But Goa is there, and it is quite normal to get this news. The Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can turn a blind eye to this matter, but at most he can only make the UK restrained, and can he control Portugal?

At this moment, Alan Wilson is just a porter of information, conveying this firefight incident to the Governor of Portuguese Goa, and conveying it in a roundabout way. Get rid of suspicion and stay out of the way.

As for Foreign Secretary Macmillan, the Honourable Foreign Secretary does not have time to pay attention to this isolated incident with so many things going on every day.
