Chapter 1082 Honor and Punishment

"It turns out that Kennedy and I have something in common." Jacqueline's refutation of the rumors about her brother-in-law and sister-in-law quickly spread to the United Kingdom in this era of globalization. Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh, both of them are talented people. Originally, They should be good friends, but they have to be their own masters.

Of course, this was the only thing they had in common. He believed that with his own caution, he wouldn't run into a mentally ill person.

Alan Wilson still believes that Kennedy's problem will eventually be solved by the Americans themselves. To be able to end the curtain in that way is not to offend one or two people, or one or two forces, but to arouse public outrage before he can be executed in public. .

In the United States, a legal country with many parties and interest groups, who has such great power to attack the Kennedy brothers? In the case of the president, the presidential candidate assassinated him twice in a row and concealed the truth from the public. The answer is only the U.S. government, that is, by The U.S. government is composed of many senior politicians and interest groups.

No one person, or a group of arms dealers, has such a great ability to kill the president and presidential candidates.

Don't worry, just wait patiently. Alan Wilson still has to fill in useless content for the leak investigation report. Even if he takes time to eat, he can't always care about things outside the UK.

Now that the public relations crisis about Eden is over, voters have chosen to understand that the current Prime Minister has drug dependence.

Of course, Eden himself has publicly stated that he will quit drug dependence to prevent drug dependence from affecting his ability to judge government affairs.

This is of course false. Alan Wilson learned from Norman Brooke that Aiden was now suspicious of the Conservative Party, and it was only because the Labor Party was eyeing him that he did not make a big move.

He will also be questioned by the House of Commons, where the shadow foreign secretary is now Harold Wilson. Labor has always been concerned about whether the UK's position on the Iranian oil crisis has been shaken.

Being busy accepting inquiries and launching leak investigations is what Alan Wilson is facing recently. He can't investigate everything, right? But you still have to pretend to do your best.

"I don't know the Prime Minister's health condition. In fact, I haven't met the Prime Minister a few times." Backbench member Mrs. Thatcher looked at the old acquaintance in front of her and pretended to be calm and cooperated with the other party's inquiries.

"Margaret..." Alan Wilson started but was interrupted by Mrs. Thatcher, "It's more convenient to call her Mrs. Thatcher, Sir Alan. Work is work, and it's better to be more formal."

"Okay, Mrs. Thatcher." Alan Wilson showed a bitter smile, seeming to feel sad because of the difference between the two of them, "Then, distinguished Congressman,

I don't have any particular problems either. But please keep today's inquiry confidential and don't let it out, even to your husband. "

Alan Wilson, who finally got to interact with Mrs. Thatcher again, tried his best to resolve the awkward atmosphere between the two. If possible, he hoped that the two could live in harmony in the future.

The conversation was very boring. Compared with years ago, it seemed that the past could not be recalled, which made people feel nostalgic.

At the end of the inquiry, Alan Wilson stretched out his hand as a farewell. Mrs. Thatcher hesitated and shook the extended hand. Then he watched the man's back disappear from sight, and only looked back after a long time.

At the Prime Minister's Residence at No. 10 Downing Street, Norman Brooke was also discussing with Prime Minister Eden about some job adjustments. Regarding foreign affairs, Norman Brooke praised highly, "Colleagues all believe that the current diplomatic team is the post-war When it was most powerful, in addition to your personal care as the Prime Minister, Macmillan, the Foreign Secretary, also played an important role. Allen said that the Foreign Secretary's work attitude was admirable and there was nothing he could do to help."

"You can't say that, right?" Aiden frowned and was not happy about being praised by the cabinet secretary.

"How could it be? If it hadn't been for the Foreign Secretary's visit to New Delhi, how could we have made India listen to Britain? You must know that Nehru is now single-mindedly focused on making India a great power. In fact, he is a very difficult person to deal with. He is not only the Prime Minister He also serves as the foreign minister and controls the entire India.”

Norman Brooke expressed admiration, "The inclusion of India in the Six-Party Talks is definitely a proud achievement. This is recognized by everyone."

"Actually, I think Macmillan can focus on more things. The country still has many things to care about." Aiden expressed his thoughts word by word. "Norman, a country cannot only have diplomacy. Of course, Is this just an immature idea on my part, if Macmillan is so well-liked in the Foreign Office?”

"The Foreign Office and Whitehall love every government!" Norman Brooke responded seriously, and then changed the topic, "Our duty is to ensure the stable operation of the government. If Macmillan is suddenly let go? Will it cause problems for the government? The decision was misunderstood? I think there is another way."

"What can be done?" Aiden asked immediately upon hearing this, waiting for Norman Brook's answer.

"There are not many options for changing departments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an important department after all, I think? In exchange, can Macmillan be given a part-time job first? I think he can be arranged to be the president of Oxford University first, so as to dispel doubts. . If the cabinet is reorganized by then, then it will be logical to make transfers. Most ministers will not object."

Of course, this decision will have to be approved by the Oxford University Parliament, the highest authority, before it can be implemented. But for Norman Brook, this matter is not difficult.

How else could Norman Brook maintain harmonious relations with every head of government? Once something like this happens, Norman Brooke never shy away from it. Instead, he stands from the perspective of the Prime Minister and personally solves the problem for the Prime Minister.

While the Cabinet Secretary was busy solving problems for the Prime Minister, Alan Wilson finally completed the report on the leak investigation, and gave the most substantial answer, which seemed to be his own lengthy written proof: "Details of the Conclusive Evidence Leak Report".

The material is mostly dry narrative, but here and there there is a hint of indignation at the slanderous insinuations received, almost a response to the indignation of the House of Commons. The statement regarding the internal investigation was...

Go to great lengths to fabricate it until you decide it should be fact, and then spread it as fact?

Throughout this process, no objections can and will be allowed. Rumors are spread against the Prime Minister without prejudice, but when asked whether they are true, the answer is no.

If these facts were told by people with no stake, it would help enhance the Prime Minister's credibility. On the contrary, it is subjective conjectures based on thin air without any opinions of their own; and the media are all yes-men. Sublime inquiries are completely useless. :.

"Am I going to have to deal with this useless nonsense for the rest of my life?" Not to mention handing it over to the Prime Minister, Alan Wilson would have trouble reading it by himself. He seemed to have said everything and nothing.

Now if this report was lost, he wouldn't be sure to repeat it a second time. He didn't know how many brain cells would be damaged in order to prove this nonsense again. The only useful thing in the report is the self-statement of each person under investigation. , of course, none of these people are related to Macmillan.

Quite simply, Alan Wilson had no orders, explicit or implicit, to investigate Macmillan.

After a brief hesitation, Alan Wilson decided to make a copy of the report. This might be the pinnacle of his bureaucratic career. He must keep a copy and save it. Maybe he can use it when writing his memoirs in the future.

He then sent the leak investigation report to Whitehall and handed it to Prime Minister Eden through the hands of Norman Brooke.

This report was seen by Prime Minister Eden, and then was put aside. Nothing was said, and then everything was said.

No matter from any angle, as one of the two universities in the UK, being the Chancellor of Oxford University is a huge honor. Generally speaking, it is rarely awarded to sitting ministers. It is an honorary part-time job of the Prime Minister or the outgoing Prime Minister.

Naturally, such a significant honor cannot be conveyed to ordinary people. The current Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke personally expressed the Prime Minister's praise for Macmillan's work with a warm attitude, "Harold, this is a great honor, and I am grateful for it." Envious."

"Norman, why did the Prime Minister appoint me as the President of Oxford University." Macmillan was confused and even a little unsure. Why did it suddenly fall on him?

"Maybe it's to commend the minister for his outstanding contribution in the field of diplomacy. For more than a year, the minister has been busy, and we...the Prime Minister has watched it." Norman Brook laughed, "There is no doubt that the Chancellor of Oxford University The honor is absolutely extraordinary. Being able to serve at this time is the same as many prime ministers."

Of course Norman Brooke cannot say that this is an appropriate punishment for Macmillan, disobedience to authority, disrespectful words and deeds, and behavior that is not in line with the ministers. Although this is indeed punishment, it is also an honor.

Punishment and honor are not contradictory at some point, they are just reflected in different stages of the same thing.

As for Macmillan's uneasiness, Norman Brooke persuaded Macmillan to give up the idea.

In the end, Macmillan naturally accepted this honor. At some point in the future, this may also become one of the despicable evidences of Macmillan's crime, but whether it is evidence of guilt in the end depends on what Prime Minister Eden thinks at that time.

In this way, Macmillan, as Foreign Secretary, also held the position of Chancellor of Oxford University.

At the same time, Eden is wondering when the time will come for a cabinet reshuffle to make an adjustment among ministers. To provide you with the fastest update of British Civil Servants, Chapter 1082 Honor and Punishment is free to read. :.
