The news that Chaplin was deported just after leaving the United States on a cruise ship is the biggest news recently. The decisive decision of the U.S. Department of Justice caught everyone off guard.

It was only on the cruise ship that Chaplin learned that he had been deported by the U.S. Department of Justice and could not set foot as a bandit in the United States.

This time I was invited to participate in the Shana International Film Festival, but it became a good opportunity for the US Department of Justice to take action.

During the silent film period, Chaplin's films were not strongly political, but starting from "Modern Times", Chaplin continued to express his own ideas in his films. In addition to criticizing Germany, capitalism also criticized workers. Class exploitation should not be shown vividly, and the boss of United Artists Film Company is Chaplin, no one can control him.

Chaplin experienced this expulsion three years earlier than in history. The only thing worthy of Alan Wilson's consideration is that unlike in history, the British Labor Party is currently in power and may take Chaplin in. In the original history, the British Conservative Party had returned to power when Chaplin was expelled, and its attitude towards Chaplin was no different from that in the United States.

Katharine Hepburn, who worked tirelessly to accompany Vivien Leigh, couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Vivien Leigh's current state, "Vivian, where is Ellen, you need company most now, why doesn't he accompany you."

"Catherine, he is a diplomat. He has his own job!" Vivien Leigh was very moved by her friend's concern and said considerately, "He said he would come back after finishing the matter."

"You know how to speak for him." Katharine Hepburn hesitated. She really wanted to say that the man once took out a photo and asked herself to take care of a young and beautiful girl. But seeing Vivien Leigh touching her belly with a happy face, she It was hard to speak, so he ran out of words and said, "Chaplin was expelled. It's really surprising."

Chaplin had become famous all over the world thirty years ago, and in 1917 he became the most famous person in the world. As soon as such a figure left the soil of the United States, he was ordered by the Ministry of Justice to be banned. On entry.

Due to political reasons, many filmmakers did not dare to associate with Chaplin, but they only dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

"Uh, Catherine, we don't have the ability to take care of this matter." Vivien Leigh was a little evasive. Others didn't know that she knew in her heart that the man behind Chaplin's expulsion was also her man.

Vivien Leigh knew about Alan Wilson and was still thinking of ways to seize United Artists. Now that Katharine Hepburn's sense of justice was bursting, she instinctively wanted to avoid the topic.

"Yes, in your current state, it's best not to think about these troublesome things." Katharine Hepburn turned to smile, "Actually, it would have been better if Chaplin hadn't left so early. I also received an invitation from Shana."

The current Channes International Film Festival does not have an accurate opening time. France has just recovered from the war and it was not held last year.

"Actually, I do too, but I can't go now." Vivien Leigh was really energetic. "Heidi and Ingrid helped the French invite a lot of people this time. In fact, it's good to go there. The United States is The market is not very good here either, so I might be able to seize a good opportunity in another place, even if it’s just to go out and relax.”

"You have to take good care of your baby after giving birth. Image is still very important." Katharine Hepburn joked.

At the same time, on the coast of Los Angeles, Alan Wilson was walking side by side with a man of similar age, wearing a formal suit that was incompatible with the cool dress of the beach.

"Grace, actually compared to the people in Nuremberg, those of you who escaped are still very lucky." Alan Wilson stopped and lit a cigarette, and at the same time handed one to the other person and continued, "Isn't that right? ."

Almost without exception, all German supporters in Europe were liquidated, even Germany.

After the German soldiers on the Western Front surrendered to the U.S. military, they were imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp near the Rhine River, one of two hundred U.S. military prisons guarding four million defeated Germans.

Rain or shine, they were housed outdoors and given half a daily ration plus a glass of water. Countless of Willie's companions who had escaped the heat of North Africa and the freezing cold of Russia had died in prisoner-of-war camps. Americans called Germans war criminals.

"Thank you Mr. Allen for your help. My father always mentioned you. We Serbians are not ungrateful people, so after getting the answer from South Africa, my father asked me to come to the United States to visit Mr. Allen."

Grace Mikhailovich, his father was the leader of the Chetniks. According to his father's wishes, Grace left Northern Rhodesia and came to the United States. In terms of time, it can be said that it was a starry night.

"This kind of nonsense is just to deceive other people. What you did in Northern Rhodesia is indeed very confidential. It is true that you often do this in the Balkans. But as the person who sent the telegram at that time, how could you hide it? You can beat me." Alan Wilson smiled, stopped and waited for a while, and then said with some disappointment, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Grace shook her head, "It will be detrimental to both of us if this matter is exposed. Mr. Allen, we will be blamed by the whole world, and you will not be able to escape suspicion. So it is better for us to pretend that we don't know."

"That's what I said. If I can reach the position of helping to cover up, one day I will erase all traces." Alan Wilson nodded to himself, "Of course, I also need the support of some people. You understand me. I mean."

"Northern Rhodesia naturally welcomes Mr. Allen to play a greater role within the British Empire."

It was only then that Grace breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, saying, "About that chaos that was absolutely unexpected and no one wanted to happen, it will become the basis for us to help each other."

"Essentially, I don't care how many people die in a colony, but as long as this happens, I'm afraid that one day it will be used by others. Of course we don't want such a day. But it's not too much to be careful." Alan Wilson told Bei Luo The question about the Desia riots was stopped there, and another question was asked, "What do you think of the apartheid practiced in South Africa? Do you not want to imitate it?"

"That system of foresight and hesitation only has no solution." Grace sneered unabashedly upon hearing this. "You want to enslave black people, and you want it to be reasonable and legal, but you don't dare to clean it directly. How can I evaluate it? I have nothing." Evaluative. Can it be suppressed for a while, but can it be suppressed forever?"

Grace had a disdain for South Africa's apartheid system. This was also the consensus of the top Slavs in Northern Rhodesia. The leaders of the Ustasha and Chetniks believed that sooner or later this system would not survive.

"I have made suggestions to the South African Embassy to imitate the partition of India and Pakistan, but who will give up half of the territory when they are strong?" Alan Wilson shrugged and asked, "Over in Northern Rhodesia, the current ethnic groups Is the proportion problem serious?”

"Black people are definitely a minority!" Grace replied decisively, "I can guarantee this."

"I will take what you said to be true, and then immediately apply to the Colonial Department through Commissioner William to conduct a census of all the population in the territory. At the same time, we must be wary of mobile tribes. First of all, we must create the impression that whites are the majority in the world. ." Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "Of course my suggestion is based on the truth of what you said."

"Of course I didn't lie. The census can start at any time, and we can even invite officials from London to come over and supervise it." Grace threw away the cigarette butt and further said, "We will do things without leaving any consequences."

"I hope this sentence is not a threat to me, but that's fine, as long as there is this foundation. When the time comes, London will be governed by Northern Rhodesia in the name of the white dominion. But South Africa has South Africa's problems, and you have your problems. You The population of South Africa is less than one-tenth of that of white South Africans. If there is a day of independence, it will not work once the black people from the surrounding areas flock in." Alan Wilson chuckled, "But it will be safe within ten years. I will try my best to help you, but sometimes I need your help.”

Grace was startled, and then whispered as if she suddenly understood, "We have no desire to be independent. Let's put it this way, if there is a place in London that is needed but inconvenient, it can be left to us."

"Very well, there are some people in this world, and the meaning of their existence is to cause obstacles to other people." After making a pun, Alan Wilson took it back and said, "I am referring to some people who have stretched out their hands to the British Empire. The internal forces are not talking about you. In fact, with your professionalism, you can treat killing as a business. The world is not as stable as it seems. People can do anything for money. You are not afraid of death. After all, they are a minority!”

"It seems that Mr. Allen must have someone who wants to make him disappear. We are very willing to help!" Grace said happily, "No matter who he is, as long as it is easier to deal with than Tito."

There is nothing difficult about being an actor, it just requires more conditions. There is no rush now, once it is determined where Chaplin will settle down, it will not be too late to start planning this matter. After all, Alan Wilson and these Slavs are two grasshoppers on the same thread. Helping each other is helping yourself.

This Channes International Film Festival was held grandly in the summer of Paris. This was the third film festival after the war. The Paris government had made careful preparations in advance, and a large number of Hollywood movie stars were invited. , it can be said that it has attracted much attention.

The most eye-catching thing is the recently expelled Chaplin. France is indeed an old revolutionary area, and the French Communist Party is powerful. The fact that Chaplin was persecuted by the US Department of Justice made the French people very sympathetic.
