Chapter 1188 Visitors From Rhodesia
"Where do you have fun like this?" Vivien Leigh reached out and touched the man's cheek and asked.
"It's also for the sake of progress. Some things are unavoidable." Lying on the lap of the national treasure, Alan Wilson enthusiastically recounted the good news that he was going to take a further step.
"So what?" Vivien Leigh didn't take it seriously. She suddenly hummed and pinched her with a familiar hand.
"It's not great. For me, it just means that I have to work harder in the future, but for Britain, it is a good thing." Alan Wilson shouted the key as always, his mouth full of almost stupid confidence.
A company will not be successful if all the mental work is left to managers. Everyone in the company has to make a contribution, and the contribution of lower-level employees goes beyond manual labor.
Insist on allowing all employees to contribute their wisdom. Each employee in this company now makes an average of eight suggestions a year, most of which are related to reducing their labor or improving reliability and efficiency.
Some scoff at the suggestion system, saying it forces employees to regurgitate the obvious or demonstrates a lack of leadership from managers. This attitude shows a lack of understanding. There would be no successful business without employees making suggestions and implementing the best of them.
Because most of the suggestions are directly related to the work of employees and are in a large system, if Alan Wilson achieves the position of cabinet secretary, he will inevitably make some minor repairs to improve his work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. spread to all departments.
To form a combat-effective team, Alan Wilson does not need to rush. Considering his age, there is no need to rush into things as soon as he takes office. He can run in and out first to see who is reliable.
"You are really very thoughtful. Did you learn from your Pamela?" Vivien Leigh's tone was a little sour. She knew that Pamela Mountbatten existed, and she could not compare with her in terms of status and age.
Alan Wilson moved his body and said lazily, "This may be the impression most people have of me. In fact, if you think about the current increase in silver, do I look like a person who cannot run a successful business?"
Pamela Mountbatten herself is not the only person who operates silver. There is a saying that the rain and the dew touch equally. Almost all ladies with the same status as her wife are involved in this silver operation, but the capital flow does not include names. It can only be collectively called international hot money. Who knows that it originated from Paris, France? Or Bonn, Germany, or London, England?
The man swelled up visibly to the naked eye, and Vivien Leigh couldn't help but sneered, "You are really generous."
“You are a lady with the same status as my wife.
"Alan Wilson chuckled and expressed his desire to jog in parallel. This attempt was met with a blank stare, but what can be done, other than following the instructions one by one?
After a revolving door with the supreme authority, Sir Norman Brooke, Alan Wilson felt refreshed, feeling that the sky was bluer and the air was much fresher. The only fly in the ointment is that there has been no news from the subcontinent, and there is indeed some miscommunication about the location of the battle.
There is no news and there is no certainty. New Delhi is full of countless false news, but these are not what Alan Wilson wants. The kind of news he wants is the kind that will make the entire India despair and the morale of the entire country instantly collapse.
The United States and the Soviet Union were still struggling with the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was not officially over.
At this time, the diplomatic gains of the British mediator were indeed very beautiful, but this was not what Alan Wilson wanted. His purpose from the beginning was for Britain to sublimate itself, rush thousands of miles to help India, and pull India out of hell.
Gaining diplomatic prestige by mediating the Cuban Missile Crisis was just incidental. He was not prepared to gain anything at first. It was just a coincidence that the Soviets gave him a stage.
"Why hasn't India been defeated yet?" Alan Wilson was very irritated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
After all, Britain is India's former suzerainty and cannot display this mentality of wishing its former colonies bad luck.
Regarding the non-profit organizations of the royal family, some communication is required with the royal family. Alan Wilson does not have to find important members of the royal family, but he is busy with official duties and there is really no other way.
The soul-infused Princess Margaret grabbed the man's ear angrily, "In such a dangerous environment, you just asked Pamela to leave and left me in London? You don't value me at all."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness the Princess?" Alan Wilson hugged his sister-in-law and comforted her, "You are a princess of the royal family. If you leave London, the impact will be great. Didn't I leave? I'm still here."
"I just know how to say nice things. This time you stole the show." Princess Margaret received some comfort and finally let go of her stubbornness. "It's nice to be a hero in front of the Soviets. That's how you are. Man. You'd be so happy if something like this happened."
"Your Highness, this joke is not funny. The Soviet Union is a difficult opponent." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly. Today is different from the past. The post-war generation has begun to grow up, and the Soviet Union in 1945 has grown up. I can't find much of the situation, it's completely different.
From now on, the Soviet Union will become stronger every year. In a sense, Britain has finally delayed until the Soviet threat is worthy of its name. Now it should lie dormant and try to preserve its remaining strength. The main battlefield was ceded to the United States and the Soviet Union.
Considering the current situation in Britain, the remaining sphere of influence, and that doubtful ally France. It is not impossible to achieve a certain balance within NATO.
If De Gaulle still breaks away from NATO, as history has, then the United States will have to rely more on Britain even if it is unwilling. This can be used to deal with the United States.
In fact, if livability is not considered, Algeria, which is only separated by the Mediterranean Sea, will benefit France even more, and the British colonies are still a bit too far away. The UK knows this, and I believe the US also knows this.
The key is whether de Gaulle will still cause trouble for the Americans. This is extremely important.
France is difficult to deal with, let alone the Soviet Union. Even Russia a few decades later will be difficult to deal with.
Russia is destined to be trapped due to its huge territory, and it is true that the forces are mutual. If Russia is really driven to pieces, what can you do if it keeps looking for trouble?
During the blockade, the Soviet Union did not have the ability to catch up with the free world, but even Russia had the ability to drag Europe as poor as itself, making Europe socially unstable and experiencing negative growth every year. As time went by, European countries were compared with Russia. rotten?
You went from earning three thousand a month to two thousand a month, and I went from a monthly income of ten thousand to five thousand a month? Didn’t Europe suffer big losses?
Once it enters the stage where everyone competes against each other, Russia, based on its original intention of not thinking good things about me, will seize Europe and sink to the bottom. The big problem is not these idiots, but the countries in Europe with bad people. .
No matter who he faced, Alan Wilson acknowledged the great power of the Soviet Union when answering this question. The sister-in-law's pillow style did not confuse the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was about to be promoted to the supreme authority.
After in-depth discussions with important members of the royal family and the good wishes of Norman Brooke, chairman of the royal family's non-profit sector, Princess Margaret was willing to help.
"I'll talk to my mother. With my mother's approval, my sister won't be able to object." Princess Margaret thought for a moment and decided to ask Queen Elizabeth for help. "My sister and I are living independently now. It's not easy to be direct." Come forward.”
"But having said that, it seems that the royal family's rules are really hard to break." Alan Wilson sighed a little, and the princess's path to freedom is destined to be tested by time.
When her brother-in-law was about to take a crucial step, Her Royal Highness was still willing to try her best. Help men with the same status as their husbands to move towards the throne of supreme authority.
Alan Wilson was very grateful for this. He hugged the princess's delicate body without letting go, and his heart was filled with gratitude to Her Royal Highness.
Although he was exhausted from working on Norman Brooke's retirement, Alan Wilson still did his best and did not forget his own job. As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chief Private Secretary Wick came over and reported, "Permanent Secretary .”
"Is there any movement in India?" Alan Wilson asked immediately after seeing this situation. He was inevitably disappointed when he saw Wick shaking his head.
"It's Ian Smith who's here!" Wick said, "He hopes to meet with the Deputy Secretary."
"Who is he?" Alan Wilson confirmed that he did not know this person, but he seemed to have heard of it somewhere, and finally recalled, "He is the whip of the local party in Southern Rhodesia, right? What is he here for?"
When Alan Wilson heard this unfamiliar name, he immediately lost interest. He didn't care about the affairs of Southern Rhodesia, and the colony did not have a share in various plans.
"You should meet the Deputy Secretary, an important political leader of the colony. After all, the merger of several foreign-related departments is no longer a secret." Wick smiled bitterly and reminded, "Otherwise it will be detrimental to your authority."
Alan Wilson stood still for a moment and said helplessly, "Okay, it's just a meeting, I won't miss anything."
As Norman Brooke said, in the big dye vat of Vanity Fair, he can't completely follow his own ideas, and he can't just leave the people from the colonies aside because he is not interested or doesn't like it. Isn't this a lack of independence?
"Please arrange it!" Alan Wilson raised his wrist, and the old 1961 watch was exposed again, asking Wick to arrange the meeting and listen to what the other party had to say.
