Chapter 765 It Is Duty-Bound to Help France
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Alan Wilson got off work on time. He also invited Alyssa and asked if she enjoyed the holiday.
"I won't go to your house. David likes children very much. Overall, this holiday is not bad." Alyssa walked out of the administrative office side by side carrying Louis Vuitton. "Thank you, boss, for taking care of me." I enjoyed the privilege of having the commissioner get off work at 2pm.”
Alan Wilson chuckled, David is the name of Alyssa's husband, but Vivien Leigh's son is also named this.
"You're welcome, you just came back and you still need to get used to it. How can I have the nerve to overwork you? I may have to leave for some time in a while, and you can experience the boring life of the High Commissioner of Malaya." Alan Wilson typed Haha, he is still very tolerant of this reliable subordinate.
"Are you leaving? Are you being recalled from London? Are you going to be promoted or transferred?" Alyssa was stunned and then asked.
"Don't think too much, I want to help the French selflessly from the perspective of unity between Britain and France." Alan Wilson said his thoughts calmly.
Judging from the results of the Geneva Conference and the reality on the battlefield, the division of North and South has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. Similarly, France is no longer willing to waste time thousands of miles away, and the withdrawal of troops will also begin accordingly.
Alan Wilson and Alisa had already experienced similar circumstances once, when the British withdrew their troops from British India.
The current situation is that the French army still controls areas with Hanoi as the core, and there are still French forces in North Vietnam. Alan Wilson feels that there is nothing wrong with eating meat before leaving.
"So that's it, I asked you when did you become a Francophile." Alice smiled. She also worked in British India and was deeply impressed by the last two years of British India. Know the expertise of your immediate boss in this field.
"You're not sarcastic, are you?" Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets, his tone was a little frivolous, as if he doubted whether this subordinate was reliable.
"It's time to go home, Commissioner!" Alice raised her hand and waved, watching Alan Wilson enter the Commissioner's car Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost provided by Pamela Mountbatten.
In fact, Alan Wilson, a colonial commissioner, thought this car was too high-profile. It usually collected dust in the garage of the house, otherwise it would make people in the colony think too much. However, when Pamela Mountbatten was at home, he still used it honestly. Yes, it is a bulletproof car after all, so safety is not an issue.
When she got home and opened the door, she saw Pamela Mountbatten, wearing a white one-piece nightgown, reading a telegram. Princess Margaret was also there. It seemed that the two had just finished a chat.
Nodding towards the Princess Palace, Alan Wilson walked to sit next to his wife,
He glanced at the telegram with curiosity and asked for a topic, "You're from Newfoundland? What's the matter? The Olympics are still two years away. Oh, by the way, this year is the World Cup, and it's time to bend down and pick up money again. "
Alan Wilson thought about this World Cup and extracted the term "Miracle of Bern" from his mind. The Federal Republic of Germany defeated Hungary to win the World Cup.
He remembered that Eastern European football was also very strong in this era, and there was no socialist country that couldn't play football. I just don’t know why Chinese football is so far behind other brother countries? Even the national system is useless!
"The final is between the Federal Republic of Germany and Hungary. Newfoundland wants to say that there is a lot of attention this time." Pamela Mountbatten put down the telegram, "The bets this time are very large, much larger than the time when the Olympic Games will be held."
"It's not surprising. Have any unknown large-scale capital inflows been discovered?" Alan Wilson asked in a low voice.
"There is nothing abnormal. Tomorrow is the final." Pamela Mountbatten smiled at this. "At the beginning, I thought that the game you mentioned had not developed greatly, but now I don't think so."
"Of course, who am I, your husband? I'm just too lazy to make money, and prefer to benefit society." Alan Wilson straightened his back, and his face was full of the spirit of being born without giving birth to me, Alan, forever.
If he hadn't been thousands of miles away and given guidance to the French so that the French at the Geneva Conference knew who to turn to to solve the Vietnam problem, the Geneva Conference would never have ended so quickly, and it would have been normal for another month to be inked.
"My dear, I have never doubted that." Pamela Mountbatten hugged her husband's neck and kissed him.
Your rank is still higher! Princess Margaret looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, isn't it said that feelings are not mixed with interests? The scene I'm seeing now seems to overturn this.
"It's too late for me to say anything about this final. But I feel that the United States may be challenged in the Olympics two years later. If you do it well, you should be able to make a lot of money." Alan Wilson estimates that a lot of cash has already flowed in. , it’s too late to talk about the Miracle of Bern.
For people like Pamela Mountbatten, the upset of the Federal Republic of Germany will not change anything, and the final profit will not be much different. After all, football is a game that determines the outcome, and the accidental factor is indeed very large.
He feels that if done properly, there will be a big profit in the Olympic Games two years later. From a historical perspective, the United States has always attached great importance to the Olympic gold medal list since it participated in the Olympics. Think of the Olympics as a stage to challenge established European countries.
It is a very coincidence that the current Soviet Union thinks the same as the United States did decades ago. This can be seen from the Helsinki Olympics two years ago, but the United States still ranked first in the gold medal list at the Helsinki Olympics.
Throughout the Olympic Games, the United States was indeed in a hurry by the athletes selected by Britain from various major colonies. However, it did not affect the result in the end.
In fact, it is extremely difficult to achieve an upset in the Olympics, and similar tricks can only be used once. The effectiveness of Britain's use of colonial athletes will only become less and less effective. It's okay to catch the United States and the Soviet Union off guard once, but copying it again is purely overthinking.
The only country that could overthrow the United States in the Olympics at this time was the Soviet Union. Alan Wilson believed that the Soviet Union had been waiting for a long time. At the Olympic Games two years later, the Soviet delegation had all the gold, silver and bronze medals at its feet, beating the United States. The United States won impeccably, failing in every aspect.
In subsequent history, the United States tried its best to move back twice in the 1960s. After the 1960s, even if it eats cholesterol, it cannot avoid the fate of being hammered. Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, as long as the United States and the Soviet Union participated in the Olympics at the same time, they had already booked the second place in advance and could not even beat the CIS team after the Soviet Union.
The Olympic Games is a comprehensive event that tests the overall strength of each event. There is almost no room for upsets. Consecutive losses can only prove one thing, that is, they really cannot beat them.
Alan Wilson believes that the United States will never imagine that it will lose its underwear in the Olympic Games two years later. I am still discussing with my wife how many gold medals it is appropriate for the United States to open. I plan to cut leeks once. Anyone who farms knows that the more leeks are cut, the better the growth will be.
"I estimate that Let Five is more balanced in terms of strength." Pamela Mountbatten made an assessment and said.
"You are really a genius. Fortunately, you are my wife." Alan Wilson praised loudly. This is true according to historical experience, but he knew in his heart that the Soviet Union's five-person team was the real balance.
Pamela Mountbatten then said with some embarrassment that today's telegram was more than that. If the French government wanted to talk to her about the acquisition of Algerian oil exploration shares, she must do so in person.
Now that she has decided to give the French a favor, Pamela Mountbatten is indeed planning to go to Paris for an interview. "I don't want to leave either. I will come back after seeing the attitude of the French."
Alan Wilson was silent. Just when Pamela Mountbatten was about to say not to go, he slowly said, "I also want to go to Saigon to see what is going on in Vietnam now. I want to see France now." People especially need the help of someone with professional experience. I also persisted until the last moment in British India."
"You help the French?" Pamela Mountbatten curled her lips. It was not credible to say that she was helping the French, and it was even less credible to mention her work in British India. Did she know that Alan Wilson had done something in British India? What.
"In short, our husband and wife have to help the French this time. Maybe this is life, and sometimes things like this will happen." Alan Wilson sighed, and it was such a happy decision.
"Pamela, let me watch him for you." Princess Margaret directly raised her hand to take on this very difficult task.
Before Pamela Mountbatten could speak, Alan Wilson said impatiently, "What are you going to do? You are in Malaya, which is our own British territory, and the colonial government can take care of you. Vietnam is a French colony. We cannot let our close allies give you royal treatment. France is a republic. Besides, it is not safe there. If anything happens to you, I will lose my job."
"Margaret, Ellen is right, don't go to that place where the French are." Pamela Mountbatten stood on her husband's side when she heard this, "The war over there has just stopped. Be safe, you are a princess and can’t take risks.”
"He seems to be your husband, why don't you care if he is safe?" Princess Margaret said with her hands on her waist to show her dissatisfaction.
"I can't control him, I will be persuaded in the end." Pamela Mumba asked Alan Wilson, "Are you taking a boat or not?"
"Take a boat!" Alan Wilson said decisively, and the war stopped. Don't go to Vietnam and get beaten down again.
"Then I'll take Comet 1 back!" Pamela Mountbatten nodded, and the couple had already assigned tasks.
Alan Wilson practically pushed the princess out of the couple's apartment. What was she doing here every day? Don't you feel ashamed for delaying the transparent life of the Imperial Commissioner and his wife?
