Chapter 1000 The College’s Top Students
"According to our communication with Washington, US Vice President Nixon will attend the American National Exposition in a few days. The United States attaches great importance to this exposition and it is expected to be very grand."
Alan Wilson changed the subject and repeated the same old tune, "According to my estimation, the Soviet Union will also have big figures attending. If the UK also participates in such an occasion, it may increase the support rate and also demonstrate the influence of the UK. . Another point is that it can leave the opposition parties speechless and end the controversy over hostility to the Soviet Union that will not help European security after coming to power."
Macmillan nodded. He had already discussed it with Prime Minister Eden, and recognized the professional advice given by Whitehall to represent the United Kingdom at this expo. The reason was because of what Alan Wilson said, "We must make some preparations, maybe The atmosphere was not very friendly.”
"There may be some controversy, and it's a good opportunity to build your image if you're prepared in the diplomatic arena."
Alan Wilson kept silent when he said this. Talking more might have the opposite effect. Since Macmillan decided to participate, he could just wait for the time to go to Moscow.
For no reason, the shadow of the cultural czarina flashed through Ellen Wilson's mind, and she wondered how she was doing now.
There is no way, who makes her a passionate person, always wanting to take care of women personally.
Macmillan's concerns were justified. Britain was actually more hostile to the Soviet Union than the United States. Otherwise, Churchill would not have spoken the Iron Curtain Speech. The United States and the Soviet Union were separated by the Atlantic Ocean, but Britain was much closer.
Just because the Labor Party thinks it can solve this problem does not mean that the Conservative Party thinks so too. In the eyes of some conservatives, there is no difference between the Soviet Union and the previous Third Reich. They just don't say so because the Soviet Union is too strong.
Appeasement is everywhere, but it has different characteristics at different times. What should the Conservative government really do about the Soviet Union? The Conservative government does not have the guts yet.
Before departure, the little time Alan Wilson has left belongs to Ms. Audrey Hepburn.
Everything was vibrant and colorful, and the trees were so thick that they completely blocked out the sun. The light cyan mist rises like the embers of a campfire. He loved the moisture on his skin and coat, for it was not his sweat but British moisture.
There are no longer endless deserts, dry hot winds, or sunlight that can easily and ruthlessly burn people.
Hepburn untied her bun and wore her long hair shawl, with the inseparable sika deer Ibi beside her. This scene was like an elf in the forest, very pleasing to the eye.
"Ibi, come to daddy." Alan Wilson said hello and shouted to the sika deer, which was already quite big.
"Screaming." Hepburn was a little embarrassed. She felt that this man was taking advantage of her.
It is hard to imagine that Alan Wilson would one day show such kindness to a sika deer. He had no feelings for any small animals before, whether it was cats, dogs or other white swans, he was not cold to them at all.
But at this time, he actually showed rare love, and he was completely different from before. This shows that in order to win the favor of the opposite sex, men can do anything.
Ibi was already very familiar with the man who greeted him. In its eyes, Hepburn was his mother and this man was like his father. He ran to the man's side and circled affectionately.
"It seems that it is good to have more contact with the beauty of nature. It can soothe the mood." He reached out and touched Ibi's head, and Alan Wilson said with a hearty smile, "It will save you having to worry about business in Whitehall every day."
"Don't be too tired." Hepburn stretched out her hand to push her long, disheveled hair to the back of her head and persuaded softly, "Actually, what are you officials thinking about every day? Can't you relax your nerves like clockwork?"
"When we relax, citizens can't relax anymore. There are always people in the world who will be troubled, so it's up to us. Just get used to it." Alan Wilson shook his head quite freely, saying that there is no such thing as a quiet time. , but it expresses the meaning of someone carrying the burden for you,
The image of a citizen servant springs from the page.
Hepburn was helpless. In just a moment, her bare hand was grabbed by the shameful Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and flicked? Still to no avail. When Xiaolu Yibi saw his parents being annoyed, he went to look out sensibly. He was really a good and obedient child.
"I'll go to Moscow to attend the American Exposition and come back to see you." Alan Wilson was like a repeater, repeating what he had already repeated twice.
Hepburn turned her head and whispered, "Go and tell your wife, you don't have to explain to me where you go."
"Audrey, you are more important in my heart than anyone or anything." Alan Wilson's face was full of affection, and a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes again, "You can define all the yearning for beauty in my heart, if there is no such thing in the world You, I really don’t know if I can still face this cruel world.”
London's night exudes a little warmth on this day, and Alan Wilson falls asleep smelling the scent of ball flowers.
The Iron Curtain existed in many aspects. There were not many flights between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. On the route of the Comet airliner to Moscow, there were millions of Soviet Red Army troops in Eastern Europe waiting for the enemy. Their prefixes were either Guards or Red Flag. Each of them had experienced hundreds of battles.
As long as there is any disturbance, this army will enter a state of war. Once it starts, there will be no end until the winner is decided.
Now, the British diplomats on the Comet will go to Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, and reach the heart of the biggest imaginary enemy. Many people are nervous, not including Alan Wilson, who has been here before.
For a British person who has never been to the Soviet Union, the biggest impression is the orderliness and the slightly wary eyes of Moscow citizens. Macmillan does not know whether he is seeing real citizens or KGB agents. Are the Soviets real? Welcome yourself, or just pretend to welcome.
With these doubts, a group of people entered the Ukraine Hotel arranged by the Soviet Union. As for most Moscow citizens, it doesn't matter whether there are more guests in their city today. That is all the government's business.
For Fortseva, the importance of today is not the arrival of another foreign mission, but the time when her son returns home from Dzerzhinsky Higher School. I really don’t know why her son, who has always been smart and obedient, is so stubborn. Liu Xin entered the school that trained agents. He was still so young, so he didn't know the cruelty inside.
"Thank God, Alexeyev, you are back." After seeing her son, Fortseva hugged her son, who was almost as tall as herself, "Isn't the school very inhumane? If you If you can’t hold on, I’ll tell your principal that I’ve been the Minister of Education and I can still do it.”
"But why do you do this? Mother?" Alexeyev's slightly determined eyes glowed with a different kind of brilliance, "I don't think there is anything difficult. On the contrary, I am very interested in the courses there. I feel Life is full, Uncle Yura is right, it is a good place, with birds singing, flowers fragrant, and beautiful scenery.”
Alexeyev brushed off his mother's worries in just two sentences, not caring at all whether he was lying. Anyway, in school, he used it to describe places with singing birds, fragrant flowers and beautiful scenery, usually referring to mental hospitals.
Alexeyev grew up very quickly and already had a military-like aura about him, but it was a little different.
But the level of danger is even more intense than that of soldiers. Although he has not been in school for a long time, he has adapted quickly. He has passed a series of courses and many tests. After being recognized by the Special Investigation Department, he has become an excellent students.
Including but not limited to, naked standing guard, silent standing facing the wall training, mock interrogation, and necessary physical tests.
There are limits to physical testing. According to the regulations of the Special Investigation Department of the KGB, "Any corporal punishment used on a subject who has endured the test and resisted tenaciously must be a punishment that does not harm the body and does not cause physical disability. This article must It is strictly prohibited to inflict physical harm on future counter-revolutionary workers to prove whether their body and mind are worthy of the important task."
"But an appropriate degree is allowed, and it should be carried out on the principle of not causing disability, leaving no scars, and not damaging internal organs."
Fortseva prepared a sumptuous dinner for the child's vacation, but when turning on the chandelier, Alexeyev's pupils subconsciously contracted for a moment, which reminded him of the electric torture test he had endured.
"What's wrong, kid?" Fortseva was slightly startled. She had been the Minister of Education and her reaction to her son was very strange.
"It's nothing, mother. Electricity is really a good thing that makes people progress and promotes social development." Alexeyev took the potato stew brought by Fortseva and said as if he was addicted to learning and couldn't extricate himself. .
"You'd better not always talk like an adult, you don't sound like a child at all." Fortseva muttered in a low voice. Isn't this the same as that person?
At the Ukraine Hotel, Alan Wilson reported with a telegram, "Minister, Vice President Nixon may arrive the day after tomorrow. The itinerary has been determined. It is consistent with our previous judgment. The United States regards this expo as a way to demonstrate the superiority of the United States. A chance at life.”
"There is also the visit itinerary arranged by the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson handed over the itinerary and waited for Macmillan's instructions. "If there are no objections, we will inform the Soviet Union that there is no problem."
"What problem do we have? This is the capital of the Soviet Union. The decision-making power is not in our hands." Macmillan shrugged. "Just have a good sleep and see what the Soviets have prepared for us tomorrow. Fight against imperialism." Arrogance."
"There should be nothing worth looking forward to." Alan Wilson showed the arrogance of old-style imperialism, and then said, "Then we will reply to the Soviets."
