Socialist organizations from various European countries gathered in London. Members of these parties held red carnations as a symbol of the reorganization of the Socialist International, marking the streets of London into a sea of red.
On the one hand, the red carnation is also cut with the same red sickle and hammer symbol, indicating the difference between the Socialist International and the Soviet Union. Although in fact the division of the party group of the Socialist International is quite complicated.
Even within the British Labor Party, they don’t know what their own members know about the Labor Party.
The author of 1984 is the famous British leftist writer George Orwell. The faction that George Orwell sat in is called the Independent Labor Party, which is a faction within the Labor Party.
On the whole, Orwell and his party represented the centrist faction at the Zimmerwald Conference. They hated the way the Third International dealt with the country, but they also hated the Second International's collusion with existing political forces through the representative system. Way. The ideology of this small faction is still very different from other factions - it opposes command economy and neoliberalism, and opposes the withdrawal of British troops from Ireland.
Although international organizations can never do anything, the reorganization of the Socialist International before the upcoming general election and the establishment of its headquarters in London are of great symbolic significance to the Labor Party.
Alan Wilson believed that Prime Minister Attlee must have taken the electoral factors into consideration. The most important thing for politicians is their approval rating. At least Alan Wilson has not seen any exceptions.
Alan Wilson, who continued to quarrel with the United States in Paris, when reporting the situation to Norman Brooke, also asked the Cabinet Secretary in a telegram what he thought of the emergence of the Socialist International.
However, there was no answer from the head of the British civil service today. Norman Brooke is establishing a working group responsible for ministerial consultation and adjusting the structure of the civil service system, involving 60 committees, 47 regional committees, and 17 consultations. group.
These committees are not all composed of civil servants. Only the Cabinet Committee completely excludes the influence of ministers. Of course, Norman Brooke did regard the Cabinet Committee as the core of the entire British civil service system.
Norman Brooke personally presided over the work of the Economic Policy Committee, Home Affairs Committee and **** Committee. Regarding the length of government documents, Prime Minister Attlee feels that they can be streamlined.
Norman Brooke, who was sitting next to Prime Minister Attlee at the cabinet meeting, understood what the Prime Minister meant and recorded the whole process of the meeting in person, and then handed the record to all the ministers who participated. "Look, this is exactly the same as what you usually say in meetings."
After winning this battle,
Norman Brooke told Prime Minister Attlee, "Historians fifty or a hundred years from now, if they supervise the minutes of these meetings, they will be pleasantly surprised that the cabinet members are thoughtful and organized. Discuss every issue logically and draw clear and concrete conclusions, but dear Prime Minister, you know that is not the case."
"But this is indeed the best way to promote the implementation of the resolution." Norman Brooke changed the subject. "The Cabinet Office will consult ministers and officials on the agenda and give professional advice."
"Okay!" Prime Minister Attlee pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the Conservative Party is very supportive of your work?"
"Personal problems will not affect my professional attitude. Dear Prime Minister, I have a good relationship with Senator Churchill. You also know this." Norman Brook said calmly, "And I don't like to be conservative. Everyone in the party.”
For example, Norman Brooke dislikes Eden, the number two member of the Conservative Party.
Although Alan Wilson was not in London, he also knew that Norman Brooke did not like Churchill's favored No. 2 Conservative Party figure. Even after Churchill suffered a stroke in history, he still used his position as cabinet secretary to protect Churchill's authority as prime minister from being replaced. Although that At that time, Churchill was exactly like Brezhnev in the late period. He only knew about reading newspapers and drinking afternoon tea every day.
And from a historical point of view, Eden should not have found that Norman Brooke set up obstacles for him, because when he was prime minister, Norman Brooke was still the head of Whitehall.
It can be said that Eden has become an important figure within the Conservative Party since the late 1930s. When Churchill first became Prime Minister, he became Churchill's successor.
Two days later, Norman Brooke expressed his appreciation for Alan Wilson's negotiation work through official channels, and finally said, "The Cairo Conference has been scheduled to be held in December. Sir Barron was your former boss, handling import and export. After the control, you can go to Egypt to help, which also includes your agenda. If I remember correctly, it was your suggestion to separate Sudan from Egypt's legal rule."
Cairo Conference? Alan Wilson clearly knew that this historical meeting did not exist, but he still said in the telegram, "We cannot lose oil, otherwise we will lose the basic guarantee of Britain, not to mention Britain's role in the Middle East and as a world power. influence, for which we will do whatever it takes, even war, but war is terrible and the outcome is unknown, especially with the United States and the Soviet Union watching from the sidelines, it is best to keep the situation under control. Among them, it is worth exhausting all means for this, and I am very much looking forward to the Cairo Conference.”
The Suez Canal War can be avoided or not fought. This war is actually completely unnecessary. Perhaps the decision was made by the then Prime Minister Eden who was suffering from a drug addiction.
As long as there is no fighting in Egypt, even if there is an anti-British trend in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, things can be saved. But it doesn't work in Egypt. As long as Egypt's minimum neutrality can be maintained, anything can be discussed.
If possible, he could even get Pamela Mountbatten, who made absolutely not a pound at cost, to help Egypt build the Aswan High Dam, if that didn't work! Then dam up the Nile in Sudan and Ethiopia.
For Egypt, nothing is more deadly than water. Water is Egypt's natural weakness. If Nasser is really a man from the sky and can come to power despite his defense, then it will be inevitable to use the Nile River to talk to Egypt.
The current situation is that the Palestinian-Israeli war in this world is slightly different from that in history. After the war, British public opinion tried its best to portray Egypt as the Arab leader. Now it depends on whether the Egyptian king can create this persona well. .
Of course, Alan Wilson did not discuss with Norman Brooke on the telegram. After all, he had returned to Europe not long ago, and he understood what kind of person Norman Brooke was.
That is Norman Brooke's loyalty to every serving Prime Minister, even if he may not like the candidate in his heart.
In the following time, Alan Wilson reported the established import and export control list to London and received approval. And knowing that other coordinating committee countries have not been hindered in this matter.
The United States also expressed satisfaction with the results of the negotiations in the past month. After communication among the six countries, it was officially decided that the Paris Coordination Committee will officially operate on January 1st of the new year. The Advisory Group is the decision-making body of Batumi and is attended by senior officials from each member state.
Adjustment Committee. It will be officially launched after January 1st. It was the executive agency for the embargo against the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.
Weaponry and atomic energy substances were strictly prohibited, which Alan Wilson actually had an issue with, because the Soviet Union's nuclear bomb had successfully exploded. The quantity control catalog and the surveillance area catalog are the result of repeated discussions over the past month.
Countries participating in the European Economic Reconstruction Plan held many meetings to discuss trade controls on the Soviet Union.
On the issue of establishing an East-West trade control organization, the United States initially envisioned linking it to military organizations and making economic security an integral part of Western political and military strategies; then it proposed that the establishment of an international trade control organization would be directly linked to the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement. In connection, these plans have been resisted by European countries.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which originally appeared, has not yet appeared. After finalizing the affairs of the Paris Coordinating Committee, the United States will focus on promoting the merger of the areas occupied by Britain, France and the United States. This is all to be expected.
It was pointed out that the merger of the occupied areas of the three countries would be the next main goal of the United States. Alan Wilson plunged into the headquarters building of Woodpecker Pictures and could not come out. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and heat up his relationship with Hedy Lamarr.
Alan Wilson doesn't necessarily do anything when he sees a beautiful woman, but it's hard to make Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman not work hard. Who can be indifferent just by looking at their faces? What's more, people don't just have faces!
It goes without saying that Alan Wilson's ideals have always been as rich and unusual as Ingrid Bergman's figure.
Faced with the two female presidents of Woodpecker Pictures, Alan Wilson made countless promises and tried his best to finally verbally obtain the status of a man equal to his husband. Although it is just a verbal promise, it is gratifying enough.
"My life wish has come true. You can do anything you ask me to do, even if you ask me to take out my gun and kill Churchill right now." Alan Wilson swore, and then changed the topic, "Can you accompany me to Egypt?" , don’t get me wrong, I just want to show you the scenery of the pyramids.”
"I may not have time. I'm currently planning to shoot the 300 Spartans, and I really can't leave." Ingrid Bergman looked at Alan Wilson's expectant eyes and said somewhat unbearably, "I'll have a chance in the future. .”
"Then let me go!" Hedy Lamarr hesitated. This man had given her an unforgettable birthday. Now this longing look made it difficult for her to refuse.
