Chapter 881 God Calls Me God
"But which side of the responsibility is appropriate? To be the vice president in charge of North Sea oil?" Pamela Mountbatten was also entangled. Edward Bridges had been cabinet secretary and is now the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance. The price will be too low.
Not to mention the period when I was the Cabinet Secretary, I spent so many years in the Ministry of Finance managing the purse strings of the civil service system.
This potential energy cannot be underestimated. It is not so easy to make Edward Bridges complete a gorgeous turn.
"Leave this matter to me, and I will tell you the result when it comes to it." Alan Wilson asked his wife to calm down and not rush to arrange positions. Even the French commander Navarre in Dien Bien Phu is now in Libya. Oil is in charge. Edward Bridges couldn't be less good in the role of Navarre.
Of course, there are quite a few conditions to consider. For example, Edward Bridges may not be willing to leave the UK. Whether he just likes to get money and is unwilling to work, these factors must be considered. Only by meeting him can you find out.
"That's hard work." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband and skillfully unbuttoned his waistband.
Sometimes Alan Wilson feels that as a man, he has a lot of responsibilities, and he is willing to continue to bear them.
If you are not diligent about this kind of thing, the final result will be that someone will carry the burden for you.
As long as conditions allowed, he kept in touch with everyone. Before he arrived in Europe, ladies who lived in Europe and had the same status as his wives had already received the call of love.
"Are you coming back for your boss's retirement?" Hepburn, wearing a long black dress, looked at the man who appeared in front of her in surprise, asking with surprise and resentment.
"It doesn't matter why I came back. As long as I have a chance to see you, I will appear in front of you no matter what happens." Alan Wilson's face was pale and he was still suffering from jet lag, but he still maintained a light like central air conditioning. and hot.
As long as conditions permit, he can always make a woman feel warm in her heart. Hepburn was obviously so warmed that she directly reached out to take the tired man to her boudoir, and then went to fill the bath water to let Alan Wilson relieve his fatigue.
It was inevitable that things would eventually turn into a scene where people were rubbing each other inside and hugging the delicate body of the ball. Alan Wilson fell asleep like a dead pig after not having enough fun, "I have seen the release of "War and Peace" and your performance in it That’s great, I was afraid that you were pretending to be real.”
"I always worry about these unreasonable things." Hepburn pinched the man's soft spot and said softly, "But if you ignore me for a long time, it's not a good thing. Alas, the movie has not been released in the UK yet, how did you know. "
I want to watch a movie, but what method can I use to get the film? Alan Wilson coughed softly, "My friend Joseph saw it and told me via telegram."
I have to say that McCarthy is quite busy and has huge prestige among American conservatives. This was rare in this era, because McCarthy was a Republican, and conservative supporters generally supported the Democratic Party.
"If you don't have a break from work, you can consider going to Malaya. The local climate is pleasant and it is a place where you can relax physically and mentally." Alan Wilson took the opportunity to promote the colony he managed to Hepburn.
"Is it a place where the body can relax?" Hepburn rolled her eyes at the man, seeming to see the bad intentions in it.
Maybe she would go alone and eventually come back with two people. Not to mention that her career was on the rise now and her education was relatively conservative. It was not easy for her to accept the current life. She was not mentally prepared to give birth to a child out of wedlock with no status or status.
Alan Wilson is not in a hurry about this matter. He has just received a good start in 1956 from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Now he is in a period of great enthusiasm. As long as he is given time to grind slowly, the final result will definitely be good. .
Jet lag is normal and reasonable for Hepburn. This time when I return to London, I have to take care of personal matters as well.
For example, look at whether de Havilland has realized his Apache outline drawings.
Hoping that he didn’t look like someone else, he arrived in London two days later with a vibe that included but was not limited to Garbo, Bergman, and Hedy Lamarr. If it weren’t for the fact that he was running out of time, he would have wanted to visit his Malayan ex. In the name of the commissioner, I went to the head of the Hellman family to talk about old times.
"I've always heard that you are a hard-working commissioner, but you don't have to be so hard-working." When Max saw Alan Wilson, his jaw almost dropped and he commented in amazement.
"It's because I'm jet lag." Alan Wilson blamed his fatigue on the jet lag, reached out and touched a handful of hair that was no less powerful than later Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and looked at Lord Sheffield provocatively. Aren't you envious?
When Markins reached middle age, he had problems that most British male citizens would encounter. His hair inevitably began to thin. Although Alan Wilson had the advantage of age, compared with the two, he was already a winner. .
"Are you speechless?" Maxkins almost lost his hair. The problem of hair volume has now become a problem for him. "Pamela may just like your thick hair."
"Maybe there is this reason, but the main reason is that I am a loyal and honest person." Alan Wilson laughed straightly, "Okay, congratulations to you my friend, now you have entered the Ministry of Interior. The Ministry of Interior is one of the three important departments. I seem to It's enviable to see the emergence of a Whitehall giant."
Magins has made a transformational leap from London City Hall to the British Home Office.
The Permanent Secretary of the Interior, or Deputy Secretary to some, is definitely in sight.
How could Alan Wilson let go of such a connection? At the same time, he did not hide that he came back for the retirement of Edward Bridges, and began to inquire about whether there had been any recent personnel changes in Whitehall.
"Why are you asking me? I've just arrived in Whitehall." Makins put on an air of arrogance and seemed to hold grudges over the issue of hair volume.
"Lord Sheffield." Alan Wilson changed his formal title. "You work in the Ministry of Home Affairs. Who do you want to ask? Or I go directly to Philby to ask our ministers and colleagues. They showed up. What a wonderful story?”
It is a fact that the current cabinet has a delicate relationship with the current No. 1 and No. 2 figures in Whitehall. He cannot come back and just plunge into the whirlpool. Only when he has sufficient assurance can he emerge. In the end, Markins said bluntly, "Sir Edward As he is about to retire, Sir Norman has nothing to look past. As for the delicate relationship between the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, colleagues all believe that it is the principle for civil servants to remain neutral."
"Then I'm relieved." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "I wonder if my colleagues have discussed the next permanent deputy secretary? Who is considered a reliable candidate? Is it Frank?"
"Haha, don't let it out, especially don't talk about this issue in front of Frank." Makins lowered his voice with a strange look on his face, "If some of the remarks are reasonable, Sir Norman intends to personally manage the Ministry of Finance."
Alan Wilson involuntarily straightened his waist a little, took a breath and whispered, "No way, the civil servant and cabinet secretary are already busy enough, the Ministry of Finance also has to take care of it personally?"
If this is true, Alan Wilson is not worthy of the Six Nations Xiangyin, that is, Tu Yile. The true overview of the overall situation must be the respected Sir Norman Brooke. This is called monopoly of power.
"You don't have to believe it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Makins shrugged and said indifferently, "I've already said it. Whether you believe it or not, you decide for yourself. Then what are you going to do next. "
"First go to No. 70 Whitehall and report that the meeting of the Overseas Assets Management Committee is scheduled to be held in Aden." Alan Wilson sat upright and said solemnly.
He was definitely not a coward, but he really wanted to report to work. Because of a communication with Makins, he had to change his itinerary. This is not shameful. After all, I am the person God calls me God.
At this point, he could only mourn for Frank. Alan Wilson thought that after the Australian arms sales, Frank would become the best choice for the Secretary of the Treasury after Edward Bridges retired.
But the Cabinet Secretary has to personally manage the Ministry of Finance. Who can do this? Norman Brooke is the head of Whitehall in every sense of the word. The cabinet secretary is also the civil servant. Who can object to running the Treasury now? Want to be chairman of the War Cemeteries Commission?
"Alan, I'm quite busy, and I may be even busier in the future. Please worry about the Overseas Assets Management Committee. You will attend the meeting in Aden on my behalf, and my secretary will give you some Whitehall information later. Just keep the advice from the Overseas Assets Management Committee."
After Norman Brook met Alan Wilson and listened to the report on the Aden Conference, he directly designated Alan Wilson to take care of it. However, what Alan Wilson has heard is that he will be busier in the coming period, and it seems that the appointment as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury should be a certainty.
"I heard that Sir Edward was retiring, and I came back specifically to visit. Sir Edward and Sir Norman both have a huge influence in my life." Alan Wilson looked at the man whom God called me God, and did not say Hiding another purpose for coming back.
"Edward and I, although we have different opinions on some issues, I also respect him very much." Norman Brook said with a smile, "Whitehall intends to hold a private party. If you come back, we can attend it together. .The news has not been officially announced yet, but many things have been determined."
Norman Brooke's words are full of puns, and the news is already certain, including that he himself concurrently serves as the Permanent Under Secretary of the Treasury, the trinity of Cabinet Secretary, Civil Service Minister and Permanent Under Secretary of the Treasury.
