Chapter 1212 Entering Whitehall

Vivien Leigh cheered for the man's return, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted to him. She saw water droplets lingering on the tip of his nose and upper lip, and suddenly she didn't feel cold anymore. As if with a will of its own, her right hand reached out and brushed away a drop of water from his mouth. Her fingers lingered there, a strange warmth spreading through her blood.

"Vivian." The man whispered, his lips moving under her palm. She was out of breath again and couldn't speak...

"You are so beautiful." She stretched her hands to his chest, he leaned forward, and she stood on her tiptoes. He grabbed her shoulders with his fingers and pulled her close. The kiss was light and gentle and amazingly beautiful. This was exactly the kiss she had dreamed of, but it was a pity that it was too short.

Marilyn Monroe looked disgusted. It was not that she was dissatisfied with this man, and she had no right to be dissatisfied.

But seeing poor Tom being played with, I just couldn't help but want to expose the gentleman's hypocrisy.

"Monroe is still here." Vivien Leigh finally stopped being obsessed with male sex, "Are you here to deliver the script?"

script! Oh, the script, Alan Wilson remembered that he used the movie script to ask Vivien Leigh to trick Marilyn Monroe into London. Of course, this was actually just an excuse he used to hold Kennedy hostage. This Nassau meeting can be said to be useful or not. It was useless, because Dulles really told him about the relationship between men and women.

Think of it as useful, Alan Wilson thought quickly. As an extremely professional filmmaker, he not only can take the movie queens on the rocket, he must use his talent to seduce these movie queens.

There is no script yet, but he can make it look like it is. "This is a very good script. I believe that once it is filmed, it will subvert Ms. Monroe's image, which will be a huge benefit."

Before becoming the supreme authority, Alan Wilson may be writing a script as a diplomat for the last time. He liked the movie The Truman Show very much, so he happily decided to copy it...

As for Monroe's role, of course it is a change from the previous role of a vase selling meat, and she is the heroine who rescues Truman and tells her the truth.

Marilyn Monroe was really surprised when she expressed her general idea, "You have a very good imagination. If you were in Hollywood, you would definitely be a very good screenwriter."

"At most I blame my bad luck and have never doubted my talent." Alan Wilson said with a pretentious expression, "But obviously, from the perspective of benefiting society, the current career is still more suitable for me, and It’s not about joining the film industry.”

Just like Hepburn who shows off her pure face,

Just like Breakfast at Tiffany's, which was tailor-made for Marilyn Monroe, why couldn't Marilyn Monroe play The Truman Show? Although it is a male-led movie, adding a bit of the heroine's role as Bai Yueguang will not detract from the classic.

After all, it is a product of the peak era of Hollywood's cultural hegemony and is not a Marvel series that focuses on special effects. Alan Wilson believes that a good script will not be buried just because he copied it.

In this way, Marilyn Monroe decided to stay in the UK temporarily for the sake of the script and prepare to shoot a movie in Europe.

Ellen Wilson and Vivien Leigh found a house nearby for Marilyn Monroe, and the three of them went to visit it together.

Marilyn Monroe was satisfied, the front door was open and there was a warm fire in the living room. The room is filled with chairs and sofas, and there is even a grand piano. Looking through the door on the right side of the living room, Qiao Qi saw a small library with books lined up along the walls. On the left is the dining room, with a large oak table surrounded by eight chairs, and beyond is the kitchen.

"It's not bad. The climate in London is still far behind that of the United States at this time of year." Alan Wilson also said with satisfaction. "I hope Ms. Monroe can feel at home. Of course, you can also stay at Vivian's place and spend your free time in Come and live.”

After all, he is a man with the same status as Vivien Leigh and her husband. When he came here, it was a bit inconvenient for two women to live in the same house. It would be much more convenient to live separately. Anyway, the visual distance is less than two hundred feet, so it is convenient for two women to visit each other. .

"What?" Marilyn Monroe looked puzzled. She didn't know why this man came back.

"Give me the room key, it will be more convenient." Alan Wilson stated the purpose straightforwardly.

God knows how the man in front of her said this. Marilyn Monroe almost wanted to laugh out loud, and then she put the door key into Alan Wilson's hand and whispered, "You are really amazing. "

"Thanks!" Alan Wilson said to himself, shaking the house key, "In terms of time management, I'm fine."

She was pushed directly upstairs by Alan Wilson. Before she could catch her breath, she was already sitting in a vat of rose-scented hot water. The steam rose to her face, relaxing her. There was no sound in the house and she closed her eyes easily.

Gu You/span> Alan Wilson went to Whitehall to visit the supreme authority Norman Brooke and report on the inside story of the Nassau talks.

Norman Brooke is very clear about the ins and outs of the Nassau talks, "Kennedy has not achieved his goal, and he may not give up. This is what politicians do. They will hold grudges when they lose, and they will counterattack when they win. But this is against the government. Americans will not do anything to you, after all, we will follow the arrangements of politicians."

"Every time I think of the United States, I still cry out for injustice. This country is stubborn, treacherous, and overjoyed." Alan Wilson said in a long voice, "Every time the United States says it wants a special relationship between Britain and the United States for the sake of Britain, I feel I felt like I was going to be stabbed in the back.”

"Actually, I'm still a little worried about Kennedy." Norman Brook frowned. He was stubborn, treacherous, and overjoyed that it was all right for the United States. Because of this, what would happen if the Americans failed to achieve their goals? , "If I were Kennedy, if there was no trouble in Quebec, I might attack Newfoundland."

Alan Wilson nodded. It was indeed possible. From this point of view, after the de Gaulle government took power in France, it led to Quebec's awakening of self-awareness and really helped the United Kingdom.

After chatting about the Nassau meeting, Alan Wilson jokingly asked about Norman Brooke's life recently.

"It's been the same lately. I had a chat with Gaitske a few days ago." Norman Brooke replied with a smile.

"Is the leader of the Labor Party also very concerned about the Nassau Conference?" Alan Wilson was also very interested and wanted to know what the opposition parties thought of the Nassau Conference. "Do they think the Conservative Party is betraying the country?"

"We are the only civil servants in the UK who are really doing good for the country. Those parties are opposing just for the sake of opposition." Norman Brooke said wisely, "As long as the interests of the UK are safeguarded, it doesn't matter what method is used. He can even be a Marxist.”

"This is just like when the Labor Party was in power, the Ministry of Education praised comprehensive quality education for its ability to smooth out class differences. But when the Conservative Party came to power, it could praise it for being cheap, stable and efficient. To the Labor Party, we said that selective education would lead to class differentiation early. The Conservatives explained that selective education would make education ridiculously expensive."

"Which side should we be on?" Alan Wilson felt like he understood something, but he didn't fully understand it.

"Stand on your own side. Existence is justified, and everything depends on balance. This is the same as offshore balance. If used well, it is an invincible weapon. If used poorly, we will bury ourselves." Norman Brook said with a smile. , “The essence of offshore balance is that Britain itself cannot be weak, just like Whitehall cannot be weak.”

"The data can be diametrically opposed, and the conclusions can be contradictory, just like the ruling and opposition parties, and just like the basic operating principles of Whitehall." Norman Brooke said this, "Tomorrow is Christmas, and colleagues in Whitehall Meet me, in a week you will be leading Whitehall in your new role."

"When I think about the days ahead, I can't help but feel uneasy." Alan Wilson said with emotion.

"I have already bought a house in Perth." Norman Brook suddenly said, "If you have any difficulties then, you can send me a telegram. In fact, it is not difficult. Isn't the overseas headquarters of the Mountbatten Group in Perth? .”

On Christmas Day, December 25th, Alan Wilson came to No. 70 Whitehall as scheduled. Under the leadership of Norman Brooke, he met with colleagues who would work together in the future.

Through the Christmas reception, Norman Brooke paved the way for Alan Wilson to become Cabinet Secretary. Who the next Cabinet Secretary-General will be has long been an open secret, but since he has not officially taken office, there are still theoretical variables in everything.

However, Norman Brooke has received accurate information from Prime Minister Eden. After this Nassau meeting, the Prime Minister is very satisfied with the next Cabinet Secretary-General, and Alan Wilson's appointment is definitely not a problem.

At this moment, Alan Wilson is actually in a complicated mood. There will be fewer opportunities for business trips in the future, so he cannot run away easily. It is not so easy to go to Stockholm, Bonn, and Paris when he wants to. This is really a loss.

The position of Cabinet Secretary can be traced back to the role of chief adviser to monarchs in the Middle Ages.

The monarch's chief adviser, despite their various names, essentially serves as the monarch's senior adviser, coordinating government work, ensuring national security, preserving historical records, and preventing the country from collapsing from within.

The Prime Minister and his government who take office will bring a series of policies to be implemented, and the Cabinet Secretary must use his talents to ensure that the Cabinet Office, a national machine, functions, provides services to the Prime Minister and his government, and implements policies.

At the beginning of the new year, Norman Brooke officially resigned, and Alan Wilson became the fourth Cabinet Secretary since Maurice Hankey and began his own era.
