British civil servant

But the immediate boss seemed to have forgotten to continue, and he stopped mentioning similar words after changing the subject.

The reason why Alan Wilson kept silent was very simple. He couldn't say that the Vietnam War was over at that time. The United States had to recuperate its internal injuries first, and there was no time to dig corners including but not limited to the United Kingdom.

And from the perspective of the general environment, by that time, the general colonies have been independent for a long time. Countries like India and Indonesia have been independent for almost 30 years, and others can see what kind of death they have developed.Later, Puerto Rico, like the United States, and Guyana, France, had no idea of ​​independence at all, and they wished to go further and directly merge into the mainland.

Are the residents of the Falkland Islands willing to be incorporated into Argentina?How many times has Argentina gone bankrupt?Let them be independent and they will not be independent. I am happier than anything else to be a rice bug with a British subsidy.

A swarm of bees can also be used in the international situation. In fact, from this point of view, Portugal can be regarded as falling before dawn.Just a short breath may have a different result. Even if it is impossible to keep all the colonies, it is still possible to keep some important enclaves.

But at that time Salazar died, and no one in Portugal could stick to the established policy.

Richard’s itinerary for the visiting group lasted for a month, and it also allowed thousands of African elites to take a good look at the benchmarks set by the United Kingdom. After relaxing, the colonial commissioners from all over the country also discussed with the African elites who had completed the visit. About, the second Malaya problem.

British Gold Coast High Commissioner Ingram said, of course, the second Malaya is the Gold Coast.

But in the mouth of the British High Commissioner for Sierra Leone, it must be Sierra Leone.We all have a bright future...

The ascetic permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a cup of wolfberries next to him, is holding a telegram from Karachi.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and two ladies, Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman, who had gone to Xiangjiang and returned, came in. They seemed quite surprised by the man's gesture, glanced at the telegram and smiled coquettishly. , "A telegram from the Pakistani ambassador? You are a busy man."

"There are no so-called ambassadors in the Commonwealth of Nations, the High Commissioner of Pakistan." Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and corrected.

"I don't know any national policies." Ingrid Bergman sat down and said, "We went to Hong Kong to present the awards."

"I've heard about it." Alan Wilson took out the headline of the Malayan entertainment newspaper and raised his hand, "Isn't it written on it? Asia Pacific Newcomer Award, Ms. Leti."

"Let Ms. Meng tell you." Heidi Lamarr snorted softly, "It's as if our awards are unfair."

"Huh?" Alan Wilson, who thought he would not be shocked by a full-scale nuclear war, looked astonished.

"The Xia Meng you are optimistic about should be given to another actor." Ingrid Bergman explained peacefully.

"Oh!" Alan Wilson pondered for a moment, "I'll talk to her about such a small matter."

Before Xia Meng was signed by Vivien Leigh, she was an actor of the Great Wall Company, and now the Great Wall Company is promoting Chen Sisi.I hope that Xia Meng, who has already entered the international market, can help out by remembering her old love.

"It turned out to be a human relationship." When Xia Meng also came here and explained the ins and outs of the matter, Alan Wilson commented in a flat manner, "It seems that some actors in Xiangjiang want to copy your route. .”

"It's a human relationship, but the two presidents both refused." Xia Meng whispered embarrassedly, "You may not have such a human relationship over there, I'm sorry."

"Who said no, people in the world are the same. Europe and the United States are called connections." Alan Wilson shook his head while holding his forehead, and directly pierced Xia Meng's wishful thinking filter, "I can understand that Xiangjiang filmmakers want to enter the international market heart, but it’s not enough right now. It has to go through fighting and market testing. It’s not enough to have someone to support you like you. How can I have so many film and television resources to support a bunch of people?”

At the current moment, Xiangjiang's film quality is still not enough, and relying on female stars to enter the international market is a bit simplistic. The film industry relies on male stars to support it.

"Currently, Xiangjiang Films can't rely on quality to win. Oh, by the way, I don't think it matters who is awarded this time." Allen Wilson said disapprovingly, "Just explain directly that this award is not that important. No With that, L'Oreal and Louis Vuitton will follow to sign the contract."

Xia Meng took out the photos of Lettie and Chen Sisi, and asked Alan Wilson to judge, but naturally there was no result.

"But one thing I can be sure of is that I have never seen the two ladies in real life, but I can be sure that they are much more beautiful in person than in the photos." Guys, the most beautiful side is captured.

Some basic elements of photography and photography are still known. Photos are generally uglier than real people. Even in the 21st century, decades later, there are still many people who are not photogenic.

The early black-and-white cameras were really just a technology. It was purely overthinking to take pictures of people beautifully. The lenses and cameras that could stand up to the beginning of the century were all amazing.

Greta Garbo entered Hollywood and directly conquered everyone. She is one of the existences that can withstand the filter of death.The actresses who can handle black and white silent films are all magnificent.

Even Xia Meng's image under the lens of the 50s is not as impactful as seeing a real person.Being handsome and beautiful is the first choice when shooting movies, and people with ordinary looks will become extremely disadvantaged under the camera.

A professional bureaucrat seriously analyzes the development trend of movies. The key is that people really believe it. It can be seen that love makes people blind.

Chapter 978 Minister's Middle East Policy

Xia Meng's face changed from sunny to cloudy, and she muttered softly, "I thought you were a gentleman, but you still value men more. Haven't you heard that women hold up half the sky?"

"I've heard this sentence before. It seems that your contact with the country is indeed very frequent."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, how could he not know this famous saying?But these are also two problems. "Don't use the correct words to deny the market. Even if it is Xiangjiang, it is true that actors are the guarantee of the box office, right? There are no exceptions in the markets of all countries. Therefore, Xiangjiang's films must successfully enter the market. In the international market, hope still lies in male stars."

Alan Wilson thought about it for a while, and this important task still fell on Jackie Chan.

As for the other Bruce Lee, he is actually an American citizen. As for his fighting ability, although Bruce Lee is associated with the cultural symbol of Kung Fu, he has never been in a ring or fought on the street. It is not known whether he can really beat anyone.

Jackie Chan is an international superstar born and bred in Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang's international superstars are also like this. The biggest gap with other Xiangjiang stars is that after the Serpentine in 21, the salary was 20 times that of the second-ranked star. The global box office champion of Xiangjiang movies for the next [-] years, Jackie Chan for [-] years.

When the other Hong Kong stars are most famous, they can only open [-]-[-] in Xiangjiang and Jackie Chan. Counting Southeast Asia, [-]-[-], plus Japan and South Korea, [-]-[-], even the shadow of the whole world can not be seen.

If there is no major change in history, it will take another 20 years for Xiangjiang Films to have the title of Eastern Hollywood.

Far from what Xia Meng expected now, Alan Wilson could help let Xiangjiang Films enter a wider market at that time, but now Xiangjiang Films definitely do not have this strength.

Alan Wilson, who was in the middle of health care, had to start working hard after the awards ceremony. Fortunately, he was not in London and had no other work to care about. That is to pay attention to the news about Malaya’s competitor Japan. No.13 under the leadership of Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi.

Obviously, in terms of the frequency of changing national leaders, Japan is not an opponent of France, a test field of political systems.Before de Gaulle came to power, France changed 23 cabinets. What is real democracy?

After several discussions with Richard, the current High Commissioner of Malaya, Alan Wilson judged that the current economic transformation of Malaya should be ahead of Japan.Just like what I said before, there are advantages and disadvantages to having a large population.

Japan's population is five times larger than that of the Malayan colony, so it is impossible to adjust it so decisively as Malayan.Japan must ensure the stable employment of its 9000 million people and have sufficient confidence to carry out industrial transfer.

Otherwise, the unemployment rate will cause social instability. Even Japan in the 21st century has retained some mid-end industries to create employment.Because Japan's population exceeds that of other developed countries, there are not enough high-end jobs for its population to be fully employed.

As far as the current time period is concerned, the fact that Malayan's textile industry has begun to transfer to Myanmar, and Japan's textile industry is still an important part of national employment.

Alan Wilson, who has confirmed this fact, is very relieved. The population cannot compare with this imaginary enemy, and the degree of hard work cannot make up for the huge disadvantage of the population. He can only think of a way in terms of the speed of industrial transfer.

"There are Chinese in Southeast Asia. We use Malaya as the main base, and through the relationship that blood is thicker than water. A stakeholder class can be supported in all countries, which Japan cannot do. After this step is completed, there will be no need for it in a short time. Worried that Britain's international influence will not be maintained."

Alan Wilson was quite optimistic about what Richard said. There are Chinese in Southeast Asia, but are there Japanese in Southeast Asia?This is an advantage, and Richard also understood, "Executive Deputy Chief, this will stabilize our position."

"Of course, we are the cornerstone of civilization." Alan Wilson said in a tone of duty, "Politicians only consider the polls five days later, and we have to serve the country for 50 years."

In about five to ten years, the profits of the shipbuilding industry will not be enough for the UK. At that time, you can consider transferring the shipbuilding industry. As for the car, Alan Wilson has few options. The UK has a bunch of Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Bentley, Aston Martin, it is not appropriate for these brands to transfer to Malaya.

For the more popular brands, you can try to produce Land Rover in Malaya at that time. If Land Rover can't do it, there is no way.

At this time, he was surprised to find that because of the oil shortage in the UK caused by the Suez Canal War, the low-end family cars that appeared did not appear, and the only popular brand he could think of was Land Rover.

"It's really difficult." Alan Wilson gritted his teeth, wondering if Malaya could hold on after the real transfer.The British car route is really not suitable for industrial transfer.

In essence, this kind of buying policy is to procrastinate for time and wait for changes.The same is true for Malaya to host the Commonwealth Games. Using the Commonwealth Games to attract attention, another four years have passed in a flash.

From the feedback of other colonial commissioners, Alan Wilson knew that the tour group organized this time had achieved its purpose.

The all-out support that has continued after the war to the present is naturally effective. Malaya is second to none in Asia, let alone compared with British Africa.This intuitive impact left a deep impression on the elites of some African colonies.

"I hope this visit will be effective. At the same time, British Africa still needs to strengthen the control of public opinion. The so-called cultural people will never see the coffin without crying."

During the break of the gathering, Alan Wilson discussed with the colony commissioners the work of maintaining stability. He understood what a so-called cultural person really was, let alone a true cultural person, even those with a little bit of knowledge could not bear the desire to die.This is the case even for those who write on the Internet. From time to time, they have to pour some private goods to test the scale, which always causes trouble for the editor.

If this kind of inner thinking exists, it must be curbed at Yuantou Mountain. Once discovered, I would rather kill three thousand by mistake and never let one go.

"The executive vice-minister is right." The other commissioners also nodded, expressing that they would pay more attention to this aspect when they returned.

The one-month tour aimed at displaying the achievements of Malaya’s construction and promoting it to other British colonies has come to an end. The commissioners of each colony are very happy and feel at home.

Alan Wilson, who was walking forward with a heavy load, also breathed a sigh of relief. The free world is precious, but it must be done within its means.

At this moment, he received two telegrams, one from Australia and one from London.

The content of the telegram from Australia is obviously good news. The Blue Light strategic missile was successfully launched in the latest [-]-kilometer test launch.Of course, it is impossible to conduct only one test launch, but it is definitely a good start.

Once the reliability is confirmed, the Blu-ray strategic missile will enter the production stage. At that time, the UK will be independent in the field of strategic missiles without worrying about being stuck.

It has incomparable significance to the strategy of the entire country of the United Kingdom.Does Alan Wilson know that the United Kingdom has been miserable by the United States in the field of strategic missiles.

In terms of strategic strike force after the war, the United Kingdom did not forget the development of delivery vehicles while starting its nuclear program. In [-], the United Kingdom tried to develop a ballistic missile with a range of [-] kilometers, but it was later discontinued due to financial problems. .

Britain began to develop blue-ray missiles to form a British strategic strike system. At the end of Eisenhower’s end, he reached an agreement with British Prime Minister Macmillan at Camp David. The nuclear submarines of the US Navy can use the British naval base in Holly Bay, Scotland. In exchange, the United States will open the sky British participation in the Lightning air-launched ballistic missile project to equip the Vulcan bomber.

At this time, the British are pawnshop thinking, thinking that with the Sky Lightning project, there is no need for Blu-ray, and it can also solve the military’s shortage of funds and nuclear deterrence. The conflict caused by the control of nuclear deterrence, so the Blu-ray project was terminated, and the British had just terminated the Blu-ray project. , The United States later notified the United Kingdom that the plan was canceled due to cost reasons.

Finally, during the tenure of Macmillan whose mother was an American, Britain signed the Nassau Agreement and lost its independent nuclear strategy.

But now, the Blue Light strategic missile has been completely successful, with a range of [-] kilometers. The technology can be used in air-launched and submarine-launched missiles, and Britain can avoid being dug by the United States.

With the blue light missile in hand, the UK does not have to worry about being stuck, and it is more confident when talking to the Americans.

The telegram from the Wumera launch site stated that Project Blu-ray could be declared a success if only a few subsequent test launches were successful.

The telegram from London is another matter. Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson will go to Baghdad to discuss follow-up negotiations with Iran on the distribution of Iranian oil.

"I almost forgot that it was only a temporary response and it had expired." Alan Wilson suddenly remembered that five years had passed since the Iranian oil crisis.

Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson is going to Baghdad this time to talk to Iran's Mosaddegh about a permanent solution.

As for why Alan Wilson was informed, it was because he dealt with the Iranian oil crisis at that time and signed a short-term solution with Mossadegh. Now that he is the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is naturally impossible to be left behind.

He still doesn't know that the purpose of the foreign minister is far from this matter. While Allen Wilson was showing the development of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Harold Wilson was also in contact with European countries, aiming to sign agreements with oil-producing countries. An agreement to guarantee energy security in the Middle East and Europe just happened to coincide with the expiration of the Iranian oil distribution contract.

Anyway, Alan Wilson had to go to Baghdad, and meanwhile, in the face of the call of love, Heidi Lamarr brought out her long-lost Arab black robe.

Chapter 979 Fist from the United States

The appearance of a group of big compradors made the former high commissioner quite gratified. It didn't take long to see them. It seemed that there were a few more new female relatives. They were doing well. The successful people were indeed very lucky. It's old Versailles.

"The bosses are a little too modest. I know your traditional costumes a little bit. Women who dare to wear them must have strong self-confidence." Alan Wilson smiled, and then greeted several aunts and wives.

If you want to look good in traditional clothes, it is not something that ordinary women can control.Hanfu can easily wipe out [-]% of women, and cheongsam has more requirements on figure than Hanfu. If you don’t have a good figure, dare you show it?

"I heard that Master Zhongtang is leaving, and I really want to see the true face of Lushan Mountain." Gu Ke said enthusiastically, "We can't do without the support of Master Zhongtang."

"This is also a fact. The compliments from the ladies are really touching." Alan Wilson paused lightly when he said this, and then hinted that women have women's places. It is better not to let women here when talking about business.

Everyone understood, so the aunts and wives brought Louis Vuitton and pretended to be L'Oreal to chat with Ms. Xia Meng, the spokesperson of the two brands. They are so familiar with each other, so there is no need to avoid too much.

As far as the relationship is concerned, even if the compradors like to kill people if they have nothing to do, this is not something that cannot be discussed.

Alan Wilson asked if there were any difficulties in transferring the textile industry to Myanmar. Coca said that it was generally smooth. Although the investment is not small, the cost can be recovered in two years, and then it will enter the profit stage.

"We still have some background in the UK." Alan Wilson said calmly, "The Chinese community in Southeast Asia has a special status. At present, in terms of ideology and national strength, the mainland government is not busy with you. Even if If you want to help, it will only be counterproductive, but the UK can support you to expand your industry, if I am right, everyone will have a drink with me."

Hearing this, Su Yang immediately called the waiters over, poured a glass for the compradors, and said first, "Then we will offer a toast to Mr. Zhongtang. When we need to contribute, we will never be ambiguous."

"Thank you for the wishes of the justices of the peace. Although I am thousands of miles away, I have always thought about the stability and prosperity here." Alan Wilson raised his glass and wished with a smile on his face, "Good days are yet to come. "

They are all Chinese businessmen who have been single-handedly supported, and Alan Wilson doesn't have to hide anything. Analyzing the international situation, Myanmar is relying on the fact that the United Kingdom has not completely declined. At least it is strong in front of Myanmar, so it is worth investing in.Like other Southeast Asian countries, they have to work hard on their own.

"How does Master Zhongtang feel about Thailand? I received guests from the Xie family in Thailand some time ago to see if there is any opportunity for cooperation." Tian Qianqiu took the initiative to ask. After all, they are not political figures, and they are not very clear about the international situation.

"What's the name of his company?" Alan Wilson was moved when he heard the name, and asked an endless question.Tian Qianqiu immediately informed, "Zhengda Company..."

"It's a very good partner." Alan Wilson heard it as expected, and said directly, "Blood between you is thicker than water, limited by invisible borders, and help can be limited to cooperation, and Chinese businessmen from other Southeast Asian countries Helping each other and even marrying. The British Empire is happy to see this, but it doesn’t have to hold shares. As for the reason, it’s because of the invisible border.”

Alan Wilson said something like a tongue twister, letting them realize it slowly, "Chinese have economic status, but they are a minority no matter which country they live in. What if Britain leaves Southeast Asia one day?"

"We are infinitely loyal to the queen's leadership..." Su Yang quickly expressed his position, but he still had reservations.

Loyal to the queen, but the so-called British cabinet has nothing to do with them. Alan Wilson can hear the implication, but what does it matter?People really have no obligation to be loyal to the British government.

"God bless the queen!" Alan Wilson raised his glass, saluting in the direction of London with an extremely humble heart.

"God bless the queen." The wine glasses collided, contributing to the diversification process of the Malayan colonies and even the entire Southeast Asia.

The so-called balance between public and private, in this field Alan Wilson thinks he has been doing a good job. In addition to giving the British African elite a head start, he came here to raise funds, not to mention blackmail, at least the comprador industry present. With the shares he exchanged for the start-up capital, which are generally in the range of 15.00% to 20.00%, can he still find such a conscientious senior commissioner?

It was originally its own industry, and now it is not too much to take a little for the silver operation.

This is only part of it. Considering the long-standing close friendship with Maharaja Ali Khan of Sabah, he cannot let such a good thing leave his friend behind.

After these things are finalized, the moment he boards the Comet Airliner, he can be called a full reward.

This time, he almost collected all the compradors who were supported by all the ladies with the same status as his wife, and Maharaja Ali Khan searched them out. Together with the help of the Newfoundland Foundation, he raised funds to buy 850 million ounces of gold. , ready to make a fortune in silver.

Finding trouble in gold is the work of General Charles de Gaulle, the French stalwart. His small role can only be done in silver. The Comet Airliner flew straight to an altitude of [-] meters and arrived in Karachi, the capital of Pakistan.

Minutes of previous meetings between Portuguese Goa and Pakistan were obtained from the High Commissioner of Pakistan.

After independence from Pakistan, the relationship between Portugal and Pakistan has been very good. Alan Wilson does not deny that this has something to do with him. This small meaning is about the details, not the overall situation.

The relationship between Britain and Pakistan is also good, and the same is true in terms of economic and trade relations.The Middle East is extremely important in the eyes of the United Kingdom, and the construction of the airport and the construction of the British Middle East colonies and protectorates require huge manpower.

Because the Malayan colony is positioned as an industrial production base, the labor force has long been exhausted. Even the textile industry, which can create employment, has been transferred to Myanmar. Naturally, there is no redundant labor force to work in the Middle East.

The country that Britain can maintain the greatest influence in the Middle East is Iraq, and no matter how big it is, it exceeds the national strength of the United Kingdom.The countries in the Middle East that can be covered by the United Kingdom are all countries with small areas and small populations.There is not much labor force in itself, so Pakistan can only help.

In later generations of the Middle East, the main foreign labor force also came from South Asia, specifically India.Don't look at the old immortals attacking the Peace Sect, but the Indians in the Middle East all serve the Peace Sect master.

After independence from India, Alan Wilson has been determined to weaken the legacy of the British Indian period, that is, the legacy of Indians in the British colonies. Naturally, it is impossible for Indians to use the brand of the British Empire to lay eggs.

On balance, Indian laborers were to diplomatically block access to the Middle East and were replaced by Pakistani laborers.

After passing through Karachi, Comet [-] finally landed in Basra, an important town in southern Iraq. Heidi Rama, who was dressed in an Arab black robe, and Alan Wilson, who came to help the minister to solve problems, got off the plane together.

As soon as he got off the plane, his old friend Persian Gulf Commissioner John waited with a serious face, which made Alan Wilson feel that something was wrong. If he was in a third world country, even in the Soviet Union, he might be thinking about it now, yes Isn't it a coup?
