Chapter 1035 Understanding All
If there were no other countries involved, just solo pulling India and Britain together and bargaining with the US.
Even if Nehru feels good about himself, he would not dare to stand directly against the United States.
But in the case of Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany plus India, as long as the slightest hint of a mouth, the Indians will cut their heads to squeeze in.
It is estimated that the big internal declaration are ready, India and the world’s major powers to jointly maintain the energy security of the Middle East.
For India’s wishful thinking, Alan Wilson never thought how to overestimate is not too much, such as decades later India firmly support the Afghan pseudo-government, the Taliban comeback billions of dollars of investment fizzle this matter.
But in the British point of view, for the Asian countries in relation to each other should not take a position, after all, from India’s point of view when you think about it, the means, although underhanded a little bit, fighting dishes a little bit, not self-conscience a little bit, but in order to their own country for the sake of the heart of the country’s interests is understandable.
Now Britain holds India higher, when the time comes, India will be more embarrassed after hitting the mountain.
But for at least two years, India’s glorious third world ally, the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, can still be utilized.
Speaking of the Non-Aligned Movement organization, India is indeed qualified to join the six-party talks, Iran and Iraq are members of the Non-Aligned Movement, Iraq rejected the U.S. plan for Baghdad, but also once used the Non-Aligned Movement members as an excuse.
It can even be said that among the Non-Aligned Movement in the world, India’s position as the elder brother is even more secure.
Because the original history of the Egyptian Nasser does not know where to go, Yugoslavia is now a hardcore Warsaw Pact country. There is simply no other country competing with India for the position of non-aligned leader, Indonesia’s Sukarno is considered a potential challenger, but only potential.
Apparently Prime Minister Aidan and Foreign Secretary Macmillan, too, have their eyes on India, the leader of the so-called Non-Aligned Movement, which is really a beggar’s club, to be used in the midst of the Six-Party Talks to give the U.S. a hard time.
“We sell a batch of Lightning fighters to India.” Prime Minister Aidan, knowing that nothing is an empty promise, decided to strengthen the Indian Air Force a bit at cost.
“I’m in favor of it.” Alan Wilson immediately spoke up in favor, the post-war period was an era of extremely rapid development of the air force, similar to the twenty years prior to World War I. The navy’s warships had gone from two or three thousand ton classes to twenty or thirty thousand ton battleships in one fell swoop.
Britain wants to keep up with this round of change, it must be on top of the military sales, before they become junk hurry to realize.
Although the appearance is ugly some, the engine arrangement also has a problem, but in the index is not backward, India is Britain’s friendly countries, Alan Wilson even if the heart does not see this big country with a sound, but also expresses the same favor.
Speaking of military issues, Allen Wilson took out his old subordinate, British Pacific Territory High Commissioner Ender sent the progress of conscription, as well as his father-in-law’s formulation of the South Island troop establishment and welfare.
Britain’s military spending was now a yearly expenditure of 1.65 billion pounds, and reducing the entire establishment to a size of 700,000 after disarmament would save nearly 100 million pounds in personnel expenses, while the additional expenditure on South Islanders recruited from the Pacific territories was negligible, and the savings could be used to invest in weapons purchases.
“And truth be told, there is some excess industrial capacity in Malaya.” Alan Wilson, seeing that the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister were reading the information, explained from the sidelines, “Some of the meager capacity could be put aside for a bit of infrastructure improvement in the Great Pyongyang territories, and the local finances aren’t particularly strained.”
At least Nauru’s guano was what the British and Australian companies were digging up again, and with a little bit of tweaking, the local population, which wasn’t that large, could share in some of the benefits.
“Very good, now Labor has nothing to say.” Aidan breathed a sigh of relief and some exasperation, “Labor didn’t disarm when they were in power themselves, and now that they’re in opposition, they’re clamoring for cuts in military spending every day.”
“Honorable Prime Minister, you also said that the Labor Party is already an opposition party.” Norman Brooke wore a derisive look, “That’s what the opposition party is like, it’s not surprising at all.”
This look of derision was not seen by the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, it was seen by Alan Wilson, the Cabinet Secretary was connoting the Prime Minister. Today’s ruling party is yesterday’s opposition party, said the opposition party, in fact, said it all.
The heat of the Soviet cultural delegation to London is still fierce, the Red Flag Cabaret and Soviet filmmakers are also known by the British, some Soviet actors are surrounded by journalists, and the British side of the star-studded lineup of Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, together with the eyes of the eating public.
Alan Wilson, of course, rubbed his nose into such occasions, squeezing into the pile of women with that moralizing gentlemanly style, even trying to get a chance to speak to the famous actors about the play, “Zero Dark Thirty Out is going to have to think about the overseas market, and build up an image for the British merchandise.”
Alan Wilson holding a glass of wine and pointing at Xia Meng, as the man behind the female presidents of United American Pictures and Woodpecker Pictures, he definitely has this qualification, “The community to build an aristocratic school, the textbook with Oxford, the butler with a mouthful of authentic London accent, double the face of the surrounding neighbors are either driving a Land Rover or driving a Jaguar, you want to drive a U.S. car, you’re embarrassed to say hello! ……”
In front of the Mazda no wonder there is a traffic jam, Alan Wilson knows the power of playing the terrier, a look of no one knows more about the movie than me to point out, “What are you talking about?”
Hearing a familiar voice, Alan Wilson turned around and bent slightly, “Ms. Hepburn, you are as beautiful as ever.”
“Ms. Hepburn, hello.” Xia Meng greeted politely, then translated the ad-libbing Allen Wilson had just done.
“You’re the heroine of Zero Dark Thirty Out?” Audrey Hepburn smiled from ear to ear before saying with awe “This series of movies is considered a success and has become a stable series of movies.”
“Not as good as Ms. Hepburn can act in any genre.” If there was a mirror right now, it would reveal that the esteemed Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who could now be described in one sentence, seemed like a dog ah.
Fortunately, Hepburn is very sensible, understand that the man is a high-ranking government official, and find an opportunity to remind Alan Wilson to put away the licking dog-like, “You will be seen by others if you are like this.”
“Seeing you always makes me want to get closer.” Allen Wilson opened his eyes and said nonsense, the one who just got close was clearly Xia Meng.
“Is Ms. Dream a star who has recently gained popularity?” Hepburn’s social circle is also not wide, in the United Kingdom on the contrary, and Fei Wenli relationship is very good, but Fei Wenli has reservations about her, because know that this popular actress is a man’s forbidden, some things will be hidden from Hepburn.
“It’s probably for the Asia-Pacific market, isn’t that what internationalization is all about these days.” Alan Wilson answered one by one.
At this time, he did not know that this scene to the culture czar to see, has made up his mind to give him a great before returning to the country.
If this was a private reception, how Allen Wilson was an old time dominator level talent to organize it. The present are not just play around with the starlets, just take out a are with a huge fan base of the popular movie star.
Although Vivien Leigh is no longer popular, but like the two female presidents of Woodpecker Studios, has been promoted to another level.
Makins, who had similar interests as Alan Wilson and had been keen to squeeze into such occasions, walked over to Alan Wilson, who had already picked up his goji berries, and tsked, “You’ve brought quite a few of your habits back with you after working from the East.”
“Honorable Lord, you don’t seem to be as relaxed as you appear.” Alan Wilson took a sip of tea and asked, “What have you been busy with lately?”
“There’s a lot going on at the Home Office, demographics, housing issues, fertility surveys, and so on.” Makins shrugged and asked for a glass of whisky, taking advantage of the Foreign Office in a dignified manner, all these receptions cost the Foreign Office money.
“Difficulties have arisen?” Alan Wilson inquired with great concern, he was also a helpful man.
“Not much of a problem.” Makins took a sip of his whisper, “but there are voices arguing for an extension of maternity leave.”
“That won’t work.” Alan Wilson flatly refused, “In the absence of conclusive evidence that extending maternity leave works, once it’s in place if it doesn’t work well, it’s easy to extend it and harder to take the policy back. No government would dare to do that. Once the government has invested heavily in fertility and it doesn’t work, can it cancel it? We are a democratically elected government, who would dare to do that? But if it doesn’t work, the money goes down the drain, the country loses money for nothing, and who’s going to reimburse it?”
The Soviet Union had already proved that even extending maternity leave to three years was useless, these unruly people were all about eating and not vomiting, so there was absolutely no backing down on this issue.
“This consideration does make sense.” Makins nodded solemnly, “The propaganda is still based on the fact that everyone envies Britain’s social security, and citizens who want to work hard can go to the Commonwealth to start a business this way? No need to worry about their children’s future?”
“Exactly.” This theory of Makins was instilled by Alan Wilson “You know, once the British army in Malaysia is on leave, many soldiers go to Thailand, creating many jobs for the local area.”
“Is there anything special about Thailand?” Makins face puzzled, do not know this inside in what doorway.
“Nothing special, we must first admit that no matter which nation there are some people who have a dark mentality, the Malayan Administrative Office has been staring at this aspect, the threat of dismissal from the military to cancel all welfare and security, some soldiers like tender girls, they can not do so in Malaya, but Malaya and Thailand are very close, and the flights are relatively unimpeded. ”
Alan Wilson had a look on his face like he knew what he was talking about, how many people in the world were as forgiving as he was, as long as the looks were in place, the age wouldn’t be stuck so dead.
It’s just that some people like to be younger, he can’t help it, if there is no Thailand, the Malayan military crime problem must be very serious.
These are alternative benefits that can’t be proclaimed but are real, otherwise Thailand hasn’t been colonized, where did so many Europeanized faces come from, not accumulated from decades of admiring tourists?
