Chapter 1155 Hebu Plan
Hold a big stick with a smile on your face, or if you encounter resistance, the iron rod sweeps across, the resistance increases, and the iron rod becomes thicker.
As the two famous sayings of the United States and the Soviet Union suggest, the United Kingdom will still tend to choose a rebellious style of doing things.
Mao Zi's straight-forward demeanor is okay if he's in the honeymoon stage, but it's really uncomfortable when he really falls out.
The key thing is that you still don't know whether Mao Zi is in the stage where the big brother is taking care of his heart and lungs and stabbing his allies, or he is in the stage where a loving father is coming, which is very troublesome.
While staying with his wife at home, Alan Wilson learned the reply from India. There was nothing wrong with the names Nehru and Shastri, but when he saw the name Desai, his Adam's apple squirmed involuntarily.
"Oh my god, what did you see that disgusted you so much?" Pamela Mountbatten happened to see this scene and glanced at India's reply telegram curiously. Her eyes fell on the name Desai and she couldn't help but curl her lips. "This person can't be a senior member of the National Congress Party."
"Who else can join forces with Nehru and Shastri?" Alan Wilson suppressed his nausea. He has experienced many battles and has seen a lot. There is no high-level person in India that he has not seen. ?
But just because he had seen it, he felt that he was still young and not enough to deal with all the problems in the world...
To this day, he still remembers the scene where this senior figure of the National Congress Party, and later the Prime Minister of India, promoted natural therapies without changing his face, surrounded by thousands of people.
Natural therapy is based on the tradition of Hinduism and is closely related to the beliefs of the Indian people. Desai used this as a means to gather support. Under the gaze of thousands of people, he drank a cup of urine in one gulp, which was absolutely clean and hygienic.
This scene scared the little imperialist lackey Alan Wilson to the point of peeing and exclaimed that India was invincible.
Pamela Mountbatten had only heard about this man from her husband, and she had only heard about it in the Viceroyal House of British India. But I can still recall that Alan Wilson looked pale at that time.
"I remember that like Patel, he is a conservative of the Congress Party." Pamela Mountbatten asked, "This time India expressed understanding? That was really unexpected."
"Although he is at the top, Nehru has the final say." Alan Wilson stood up and took a glass of wine, deciding to suppress the memories of natural therapy and continued, "So far, Nehru's reaction is still restrained. , as I said before, an Eagle-class battle group, two Centaur battle groups, plus a nuclear submarine are enough to make India feel our presence. Malaya is not far from India, and British capital has returned Back to Myanmar, India, as a neighboring country, can also feel it.
"
This has to be mentioned about the benefits of General Aung San's survival. The United Kingdom does not care about countries like Myanmar playing both sides. It is good if it can share the interests of neighboring countries. At this time, Malaya can exert influence on its surroundings by relying on the siphon effect.
The residents of Malaya don't have to think about anything, just follow the instructions issued by London and complete the tasks.
"Forget about India. I will go to work tomorrow to reply to them. What about you? Have you secured the broadcast rights for Australia? The most important thing is that this sports meeting must be profitable and create economic benefits. At least it cannot lose money."
"It's done, I also won the broadcast rights for Canada and Newfoundland through the Hudson Bay Company." Pamela Mountbatten said with great concern, "But will the Olympic Committee be dissatisfied? "
"Advertisement breaks? What about on-site advertising?" Alan Wilson pouted, "Whatever it is, this is the Commonwealth Games, not the Olympic Games. Cooperating with anti-doping organizations is support for the work of the Olympic Committee, and you still choose Already?"
Advertising is not allowed in the Olympic venues. This is the difference between the Olympic Games and other events.
The mission and vision of the Olympic Games determine that its humanistic, social and spiritual attributes are higher than anything else, and of course it is higher than its commercial attributes.
In the Olympic Games, it is necessary to highlight the Olympic elements and Olympic spirit, rather than diluting and diluting these most important things with a large number of sponsors' brand elements and commercial elements.
Therefore, the "Clean Venues" principle of the "Olympic Charter" stipulates that during the Olympic Games, all buildings, facilities and areas within the sight of spectators, registered personnel, and television and camera lenses should not have any commercial properties that are not in line with the environmental atmosphere of the Olympic Games. Advertisements or other information.
In other words, no commercial brands or advertisements are allowed in the areas within sight of the Olympic Games and in any areas seen through broadcasts. This principle must be observed by all Olympic host cities.
Leave the humanities and spirit to the Olympic Games. This is the Commonwealth Games. If possible, Alan Wilson would prefer to make it an advertising exhibition. The key is to make a profit, and anything else is nonsense.
After a few decades, almost no one has applied for the Olympic Games. The UK cannot afford to lose money and gain publicity.
"This Games is also a cultural event. I'd better contact some well-respected singers and actors in the English-speaking world to work together." Alan Wilson said his thoughts. When the London Olympics later came, wouldn't Doudou also Has it appeared?
The London Olympics is not a failure as some people say. After all, Britain's influence in the English-speaking world exists, and the influence of the London Olympics can be said to be the best in twenty years.
"It's not that I don't believe it, but my dear, you don't get along well with the culture." Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and snickered, "Besides, you have to do something so big? Someone needs to cooperate."
"In a diversified society, if we want to reflect the different cultural characteristics of the British Empire, Taylor will be asked to cooperate locally. The rest will be done by calling people from Hong Kong and asking the Hong Kong governor and local legislators to inform them. That's pretty much it."
Alan Wilson remembered that last time he regarded the fiscal independence policy advocated by the Hong Kong Governor as a fart. Now that the Hong Kong Governor may not have calmed down, he will not bother him.
Xia Meng had to attend. This kind of grand event that was similar to a political mission would greatly enhance a star's status, especially for Xia Meng. As for Elizabeth Taylor, he asked Vivien Leigh if she was willing to invite her.
It took a few more days to finalize these matters. Alan Wilson also took the opportunity to go to Glasgow and communicate with the local interns. Then he calmly continued to talk about armed mediation and expressed his concerns about Goa's status to New Delhi. He formally informed Nehru of his concern and planned to use the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur to invite Portugal and India to have a frank talk.
In terms of diplomatic work, Alan Wilson is cooperating with the Foreign Secretary to promote the merger of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Commonwealth Affairs. In different historical periods, Britain's external work included the Commonwealth Department, the Colonial Department, the Department of Indian Affairs, the Department of Dominion, etc. and a series of departments.
These departments and the Foreign Office are located on different floors of the same headquarters building, and each successive Foreign Secretary has been interested in merging other departments. Of course, other departments do not think so.
As the permanent undersecretary of this department, Alan Wilson is naturally duty-bound at this point and must contribute to the importance of this department. Whether it is the former minister Macmillan or the current minister Rab Butler, in this matter Xanadu has his full support.
Nowadays, even the UK has changed from an incremental market to a stock market. If you want your own department to be strong, you must include these departments that work the same way.
The proposal to merge the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office was once again passed by the current Foreign Secretary Rab Butler and handed over to the hands of Prime Minister Eden. On the surface, of course, it is about streamlining departments and saving budgets. Everyone likes to say that, so to speak. It's politically correct.
But in fact, everyone knows that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to fully dominate foreign policy. Many cabinet ministers are well aware of this, including the current Education Secretary Macmillan.
"Citizens have always been dissatisfied with the bloated government. In fact, in the post-colonial era, many departments are in charge of the same affairs, and it is indeed very easy to be targeted." At the cabinet meeting, the current minister Rab Butler made an impassioned speech and expressed We must play a leading role in streamlining personnel and saving financial budgets.
"In fact, we all know that merging external departments and conducting centralized management is the general trend."
Macmillan felt very uncomfortable listening to Rab Butler's speech. He was too familiar with this rhetoric. If he remembered correctly, when he was Foreign Secretary, the proposals submitted by the Foreign Office were exactly the same as those elaborated by Rab Butler.
"It's not unreasonable!" Aiden was not very resistant to this, because the previous foreign secretary had also suggested this, and Rab Butler was very loyal to him and should not object to it either emotionally or rationally.
"Deputy Secretary, there seems to be some news from the Commonwealth Department, which is a bit pessimistic about the future." In Alan Wilson's office, Wick, who has spy potential, sneaked in and made a small report to his immediate boss, but he also He said with a clear conscience, "Secretary General, colleagues from other departments are a little worried about their future positions."
"There is no way. Merging departments will make it easier for me to...well, promote the minister's foreign policy." Alan Wilson said expressionlessly, "And my colleagues may be too impatient. Merging departments can, but not It will lead to layoffs, and there will be no financial savings.”
"The thing is very obvious. After merging departments, there are still so many things to face. If we don't increase the number of jobs, all colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be burdened to move forward. It is simply unreasonable to lay off employees."
Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and said with compassion, "We all know that diplomacy is no small matter, especially for Britain. Every part is so important, and layoffs are the key to dismantling the British Empire." Influence."
