Chapter 356 The Lifelong Enemy of the Soviet Union
Doesn't this force me to betray the country? Alan Wilson asked himself, out of his loyalty to the British Empire, he suggested not to be deceived by the Soviets and to get more benefits from the Soviet Union. But the hot potato fell on him?
Alan Wilson felt sad in his heart. Sometimes it is so difficult to love one's country. Now he feels like I love Great Britain, but Great Britain doesn't love me. What's wrong with him?
I just wanted to be reminded not to be tricked by the Soviet Union, but I just returned to London and had to negotiate with the Soviets.
With the golden belt of murder and arson, the five outstanding Soviet spies in Cambridge are now in good condition. He worked so hard for the country, but he ended up like this? The comparison between the two is depressing.
"Temporary mission?" Alan Wilson was still fighting for favorable conditions in the end, asking George Milton if it was about last night and he could do anything then?
"Letting you be the deputy secretary-general is also for motivational reasons." George Milton thought for a moment and said, "Try to fight for the interests of the British Empire and not take advantage of the Soviets. This is what you said."
"Of course." Alan Wilson nodded solemnly, "But where is the location of the negotiation?"
"You are familiar with that place, Berlin, the capital of Germany." George Milton took out the information on the negotiations before the engine and said, "I hope you can remember the glorious era and the British Empire's mature diplomatic skills and achieve admirable results."
"I'll try my best." Alan Wilson curled his lips, looking unconfident. The key is that the cabinet still hopes that the negotiation can be concluded and that it can make money from the Soviet Union. If the cabinet had not had such expectations, he would have simply put forward conditions that the Soviet Union could not agree to and muddied the matter.
At the Whitehall civil servants' reception in the evening, Alan Wilson held his glass and complained, "What do you think we should do, Philby? I think the Soviet Union cannot be trusted. To be honest, I really want to ruin this business. The Soviet Union will never want to get the engine." , at least not in my hands, I can’t allow this to happen.”
"Oh, poor Alan." Philby calmly comforted and asked, "But it seems that the cabinet is quite looking forward to it."
"This is what worries me. There are many senior diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they just let me go. This obviously does not take General Mountbatten into consideration." Alan Wilson carried his father-in-law out drunkenly, and said something else. They all said that they would complain when General Mountbatten came back.
"Oh, that's really an exciting scene." Philby dealt with the drunkard in front of him in a flawless manner, despising him as a person in his heart.
Since being directed by major Hollywood movie queens,
Especially after the guidance of silent film queen Greta Garbo.
Alan Wilson's double life has made great progress. It is now different from the past, and even Philby can't see the flaws.
"I will write a plan. Since it involves national interests, it shouldn't be too much to allow the country to get some benefits. If the Soviet Union does not agree, the deal will naturally not be completed." Alan Wilson smiled drunkenly , said in a mysterious tone, "If you complicate simple things, the responsibility is not on me."
At this moment, just as at that time, the life of the head of the cabinet is no different from that of ordinary civil servants, except that there are very few guests on Norman Brook's side. He poured a glass for Edward Bridges, "Little Alan seems to be interested in work." I’m not particularly satisfied yet, and I want to break away from the vortex of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is what George said.”
"Perhaps the fish in the river sometimes wants to break free from the shackles of the river, but can it do it?" Edward Bridges took the wine glass, took a sip and said, "Always go to the colony to work, his eyes It is not far-sighted enough. What colonial official can be like you and me? Only by looking far-sighted can we go beyond."
"But you also know that little Allen is now the deputy king's son-in-law. We have to pay attention to methods in our work." Norman Brook put forward a hypothesis, "What if he is really not interested in diplomatic work?"
"Then add some administrative work to the diplomatic work." Edward Bridges said with a mysterious face. "If he can't handle the administrative work well, it proves that he has no talent in administrative work, and he will be honest in the future. He can actually do diplomatic work, and junior civil servants need a certain amount of training, which will be good for him."
"Is there such a place?" Norman Brooke leaned forward. Why didn't he remember that there was such a place that had the best of both worlds? Able to combine administrative work and diplomatic work.
"Yes!" Edward Bridges whispered with a conceited look on his face, clearing up Norman Brooke's doubts.
Haha... After a moment, the two of them burst into laughter, and for a while the narrow private room was filled with laughter.
If Alan Wilson is still unwilling to do diplomatic work, then the two people will assign him a place where it is not easy to do administrative work and let him release his talents, so as to prove with practical actions that diplomatic work is more suitable.
Of course, Alan Wilson is not willing to do diplomatic work. Who would choose to do diplomatic work in a country that is on the decline? The British Empire, which used naval and gun diplomacy at its peak, had countless classic diplomatic operations. Compared with its predecessors who had glorious years , isn’t Alan Wilson going to contrast his own incompetence?
Of course, he can use his certain understanding of history to make more profits for Britain, but citizens can only compare with the peak era of the British Empire, so how can they understand the current difficulties?
Citizens all hope that the country will be as tough as possible externally, but the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is exactly the opposite, and it is always accused of being weak. How could he be willing to go when he has done so much and is still not understood?
But even though he was reluctant, he still wanted to go because he once claimed that the Soviet Union was nothing more than that. If he were disgraced by the Soviet Union directly in the diplomatic field, his previous remarks would become a joke.
Those who kill must be killed, and if there is nothing to do, they will intervene in politics. In the end, Alan Wilson was also filled with his own remarks.
"There will never be a third time." Alan Wilson wrote quickly and made plans to join, saying that he would not fall into the same trap three times.
The first time was actually an anti-Tito rebel from Yugoslavia, who was rescued by him.
As a result, those people who were destined to die in World War II turned into survivors and went on a killing spree in Northern Rhodesia. That is to say, information in the interior of Africa is easily blocked, and even the United States has no time to care. In addition, those survivors are just doing it in the Balkans. This person was indeed a professional, and he passed it in such a thrilling way.
In the 1960s, when Africa had become a battlefield between the United States and the Soviet Union, this could never be concealed.
Since the cabinet expected the deal to be concluded and a sum of Soviet money to be made, Alan Wilson played a bigger role.
Add the tin mining and rubber industries of British Malaya to the mix and ask the Soviet Union to make concessions on this issue. At the same time, the first order quantity of 300 engines must be seized, and the bill must be paid in full.
In this way, there is a negotiation that 300 engines is the bottom line, otherwise he would rather not reach the deal.
"I'm exhausted today, so I asked my sister to accompany me to register an exploration company." Pamela Mountbatten pushed open the door and walked in. That's right. The two of them lived together in Alan Wilson's home. Her parents were still living and drinking in British India, and her sister was already married. Pamela Mountbatten couldn't live by herself. It was pitiful to be alone in such a big city.
As for the iron boxes before the Wilson family, they have all been properly kept. If Pamela Mountbatten really saw them with her own eyes, she might think of the large number of iron boxes this man carried when he first left British India. The iron box is not visible now, but a large number of Indian books are placed on the bookshelf.
Alan Wilson put down his pen, kissed his fiancée to express his hard work, and then asked, "It went well."
"Well, at least it's much faster than the average person." Pamela Mountbatten claimed the credit. "My father has a good relationship with the Minister of Trade. Although he is from the Labor Party, my father's friends are not limited to the Conservative Party. My mother actually I also know each other, and have more contact with him than my father. So this matter was completed in one day. According to what you said, it is called Mountbatten Exploration Company, and its business is mineral and oil exploration."
"Isn't this great?" Alan Wilson praised generously. He had no objection to the name of the company. It couldn't be called Wilson Exploration Company. He would have to work in the civil service system in the future.
It is normal for his wife to do business, and the Mountbatten family is already rich. Is it okay for him, a civil servant, to do business himself? I want to sound domineering, but in the UK you can't be so direct.
"This is the first step. You can then contact some noble friends and charge a nominal fee to become a shareholder." Listening to Pamela Mountbatten's words, Alan Wilson nodded with satisfaction and guided, "I believe they will agree."
The British aristocracy, which had gone through two world wars, was now saved by him as a civil servant.
It is quite ironic to say, but it must be done. After all, civil servants are unable to confront politicians. It would be really troublesome if they encountered politicians like Mrs. Thatcher who did not follow the routine.
When the hostess came back, Alan Wilson put down his work and talked about the troubles. He mainly mentioned that he had been promoted to deputy secretary-general and was already a middle- and high-level civil servant, which made Pamela happy.
"But I saw that you weren't very happy just now?" Pamela Mountbatten also came to the kitchen, working with Alan Wilson, and asked what was going on.
"I'm going to compete with the Soviets." Alan Wilson held his head high and said in a confident tone.
Although his appearance was very encouraging, it was true that he was not at all sure about it, but he believed that the Soviet Union was even less sure than he was. In the matter of engines, it should be the Soviet Union that begged the United Kingdom, not the other way around.
