Chapter 807 Return to the Free World
The NATO joint military exercises in the second half of the year essentially have nothing to do with him as a colonial official, and he does not care about the results.
All in all, he is not as important as the two movie queens who are about to return to Paris. What he wants is to continue to live a life of five days off.
On the early morning of the weekend, Alan Wilson was still fast asleep in bed. In the bathroom, the two clean-loving movie queens were teasing each other under the shower and touching each other.
"Look at what you looked like last night, hehe!" Hedy Lamarr marveled, her eyes sweeping over Ingrid Bergman's nuclear-bomb-like body, "How can any ordinary man withstand this?"
"You don't have to talk about me!" Ingrid Bergman raised her neck to face the nozzle, squinted her eyes and retorted, "You're not bad either. I don't know who it was, but you hugged his waist and encouraged me. When you were in Hollywood, But she is sought after by thousands of people. She is no worse than the current Monroe, and it has reached this point today."
"I don't want to argue with you." Hedy Lamarr stopped touching each other and wiped her body with a white bath towel.
The beautiful scene was already in full view of Alan Wilson, who appeared at some point. The imperial commissioner came with a swinging stick and walked into the bathroom. Out of considerations of gender equality, everyone He can't have special privileges, and he also has to clean up.
As a result, the time to deal with personal hygiene issues is once again extended, but the process is absolutely wonderful.
The two coveted movie queens were about to leave, so they no longer disobeyed their children's father.
"I have missed my daughter for such a long time. I should go back and see her. Don't let my daughter not recognize me by then." Ingrid Bergman sat at the dining table and watched the man serve the food.
Hedy Lamarr also nodded, saying that she had the same idea. Her son was still young and his mother could not be around all the time.
"Thank you for your hard work, ladies." Alan Wilson said with some apology, and handed over two sausages to fill the belly of the actress who had just eaten British sausages. "Although I feel reluctant to give up, the problems of the next generation are also very big. Important. How can I rob mother's love from my child?"
"Did you stop robbing him?" Hedy Lamarr rolled her eyes at the man, not believing a word of this duplicitous excuse.
Alan Wilson coughed softly to cover up his embarrassment, and said without confidence, "You must give me a little broad mind. Children need it, so don't I need it. The world should be kinder to men. You don't know that I have it." How much pressure a woman needs to talk about.”
"I don't usually see you talk to me at all." Ingrid Bergman muttered, "Just seeing you makes you look like a bull."
"Ingrid, are you a sponsor of the French women's movement?" Ellen Wilson remembered that he once taught Ingrid Bergman how to box. She wondered if she had twenty years of skills now.
Ingrid Bergman nodded, she had indeed listened to the man's advice, hit a wave of bonuses, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"Pay attention to the immigrants in South Vietnam. The French withdrawal took away many people." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Let the people you sponsor speak, you don't speak. Those people speak in extreme ways, which shows that you are considerate. Well, you and Heidi are in the film industry, and I don’t need to tell you to understand that actresses can’t support the box office, and it’s men who pay to sell tickets.”
He didn't want the women's movement to affect the careers of Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman. Whether it was film companies or even Louis Vuitton, men had to pay. Louis Vuitton seems to be a female customer, and he would not believe it if he didn't know that French women's wages are only 60% of men's.
"I know." Ingrid Bergman nodded,
She believed that this man had good intentions, at least towards her.
"Has the tape project not been finalized yet? It is an industry that is very consistent with the temperament of France. Film, television and music are both entertainment industries, and movies were invented by the French. If the tapes are brought up to standard, it will be a huge profit. "Alan Wilson asked Hedy Lamarr, "If there is no problem, promote it with free standards when promoting it, and establish the standard. The future income will be much more than holding on to the patent at the beginning."
"I have been paying attention, and Woodpecker Pictures has also invested in supporting it, but some problems still exist and the reliability is still insufficient." When it comes to business, Hedy Lamarr also became serious and talked about the current progress.
Both of them knew that this man was very serious when talking about problems, which was completely different from when he was having fun. It has indeed brought great help to their careers. It can even be said that he has given too much.
"As long as your life is not disturbed by trivial matters." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "I will take you to the airport tomorrow."
On the last night in Malaya, Ingrid Bergman pestered the Imperial Commissioner for advice on how to box. Not surprisingly, she also withstood the Commissioner's jab. This punch required twenty years of skill, but the Queen of Sweden, who had superior hardware, was still able to punch Bear it.
Alan Wilson, who was hugging each other, couldn't sleep and talked with the two actresses for a long time until they fell asleep together.
While he labored, the First Sea Lord had completed his mission to the United States and arrived at the loyal Admiralty. This visit was a complete success for him, and he got off to a good start just after taking up the position of First Sea Lord. The nuclear power technology support we wanted was obtained from the Americans.
He believes that with the research that the UK has been conducting, British nuclear submarines will definitely be available in the near future.
At No. 10 Downing Street, Mountbatten and Prime Minister Attlee reported on the progress of this visit. They also explained that they had exchanged nuclear power technical support on the condition that the Federal Republic of Germany would join NATO and participate in NATO joint military exercises.
"We hope that American experts will come soon. Only when the experts arrive will we relax on the issue of the Federal Republic of Germany." Attlee still remembers that the United States tore up the consensus reached at the Quebec Conference and added many obstacles to the British nuclear project. .
It can even be said that it was the first major event that Attlee faced after becoming Prime Minister, and he couldn't help but remember it deeply.
If the Federal Republic of Germany joins NATO, the British will be fine, but the French will definitely feel uncomfortable. This is equivalent to the Germans inviting the Soviet Union to join NATO. The Soviet Union has always been a target of strict defense by NATO member states. The three nuclear-armed countries within NATO, the United States, Britain, and France, have also aimed most of their nuclear missiles at the Soviet Union. As long as the time is right, major NATO member states such as the United States, Britain, and France will Military action against the Soviet Union was to be launched, but it was not done because it could not be done.
Prime Minister Attlee may not have known that the Germans actually did something similar decades later. German MPs from the Christian Democratic Party proposed inviting Russia to join NATO, believing that this move would help ensure European security.
Things are changing all the time. France's wariness towards Germany has not dissipated today, and they can stick together in the future.
"Germany's joining of NATO is inevitable, and the Americans very much hope that Germany can shoulder the role of blocking the Soviet Union." General Mountbatten said with a wry smile, "As for the French people's ideas, I believe the French will understand."
Mountbatten was very knowledgeable about politics and knew that once the Federal Republic of Germany joined NATO, it would take a crucial step in transforming from an enemy into an ally. We also know that although France was worried about Germany's rearmament, the Western Allies agreed to admit it as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In a sense, this is inevitable. Germany has a population of nearly 60 million. Joining NATO will greatly enhance the strength of the free world. Only if Germany joins, NATO will not worry about the Soviet Union's numerical advantage.
"It seems that Morrison will be busy again recently." Prime Minister Attlee also knew that the matter was inevitable and could only let the Foreign Secretary and the French have a talk.
"It would be best to add Adenauer and let the three countries sit down and talk." General Mountbatten suggested, "Under the premise of protecting the interests of the victorious country and knowing each other's needs, things will be much easier to handle. "
"What a good idea." Prime Minister Attlee's eyes lit up and he said, "Louis, actually you should consider becoming a minister."
"I am Sea Lord now." General Mountbatten thought of his son-in-law thousands of miles away for no reason. He could clearly remember Alan Wilson's look when he heard the word minister.
Almost immediately, the British Foreign Office got into work and invited French Foreign Minister Georges Pidour to go to Bonn, the capital of Germany, to discuss Germany's membership of NATO with Adenauer.
You don’t need to think about it to know what George Piduer really thinks. He has no interest in Germany joining NATO. But Morrison also made it clear that this is the future that the United States wants to see, to demonstrate the unity of the free world.
What can he say, Georges Pidour sighs, France, like many European countries, was supported by the Marshall Plan. Although he knew in his heart and even publicly said in Paris that for every dollar France accepted, France lost one point of independence, there was no way around it. It was a fact to rely on the United States.
In Bonn, the capital of Germany, British Foreign Secretary Morrison and French Foreign Minister Georges Petour jointly stated the positions of Britain and France and asked Adenauer to agree to the conditions of the two countries in exchange for the two countries not to set up obstacles for Germany to join NATO.
The current Federal Republic of Germany is not yet independent, and the commissioners of the three countries in Germany still have a lot of say. Adenauer actually has no qualifications to resist. Furthermore, this is an opportunity for Germany to return to the civilized world, and it cannot be given up.
Naturally, Adenauer fully accepted the requests made by Morrison and Georges Dupierre on behalf of Britain and France.
After a series of contracts were signed, on March 4, the North Atlantic Treaty Headquarters in Paris announced that the Federal Republic of Germany had joined NATO and became a full member of NATO.
Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman returned to Paris and heard the news.
