Chapter 1058 – Joint Intelligence Committee

This consolidation of British Airways was a matter of time, no country can support so many airplane manufacturing companies, the simultaneous existence of so many companies will inevitably result in internal conflict in the British aviation industry, and the end result will naturally be that no one will make money.

Some industries are naturally suited to monopolization, the result of not monopolizing is to tear each other down, if Pamela Mountbatten does not do so, the British government will also take the lead to do so in the future.

Not only is the aviation industry, Alan Wilson’s impression, the British automotive industry, shipbuilding industry have led the merger through nationalization, of course, ultimately sold by Thatcher.

Alan Wilson who was about to set off to Basra, was still grasping for time to replenish his strength, while trying to see if it worked here in Xiameng, his hand reached out to the familiar land of abundant water and grass, the feedback was very satisfying, “Personal hygiene should be taken care of.”

“Got it!” Xia Meng’s face covered with a blush muttered in a small voice, “I’m still a little uncomfortable.”

Another night of experiencing exotic flavors, Allen Wilson was glowing after many days of living in a drinking pool. The diet also got rid of foods like oysters and leeks.

“Good to know.” Allen Wilson satisfiedly touched Summer Dream’s stomach and sighed, “Our child will probably be very talented.”

Will? Xia Meng followed this thought dreamily, “Mr. Wilson, do you have any dreams, I used to want to be a star, but now I found out that even if I become a star, I’m nothing in this world.”

“Dreams?” Alan Wilson was silent for a long time, it seems that this question is very difficult for him, it took a long time before he hesitantly answered, “Maybe I am more fortunate, I don’t lack anything. Really what is there to worry about, I hope that one day when I can no longer find the value of existence, I won’t be so old and powerless that I lose the ability to commit suicide, this is my dream.”

Xia Meng was startled and hurriedly hugged the man’s arm and whispered, “You mustn’t think like that, there are still many things worth pursuing.”

“That’s true!” Although his mouth answered this way, Allen Wilson was at a loss, wondering if his words just now followed his heart, after thinking about it for half a day he could be sure that it did, he didn’t want to be old and powerless to be tormented by illness.

It’s like something like a nuclear bomb, having a gun and not using it is completely different from not grabbing it, Allen Wilson went to sleep with this answer, and after the night, after breakfast, Allen Wilson kissed Summer’s forehead goodbye.

Just continue their own public and private life, the public side is to think about the situation of the United Kingdom, and do the filing response.

The private side was naturally to surround himself with ladies of equal status with his wife and wait for the Basra Conference to convene.

Former Cabinet Secretary and current director of the Mountbatten Group, Edward Bridges, had something to call on him, and naturally he didn’t dare to slow down; Edward Bridges could be of great help in many matters within the UK, and wouldn’t be slowed down by retirement.

“Norman’s health seems to have gotten worse, I don’t think it’s possible for him to last until he retires at the age of sixty-five, just like me.” Edward Bridges poured a glass of whiskey for Alan Wilson and spoke of Norman Brooke.

“This?” Alan Wilson was uncertain and could only say, “Sir Norman may not be careful about cultivation.”

“Cultivation or not doesn’t matter, his desire for power is much greater than mine. The only hobby is carpentry. It’s tough to stick to such a routine even if you’re just a few years younger.” Edward Bridges held out a copy of Norman Brooke’s medical file directly, “Norman seems to be working on a personnel restructuring of the departments under his supervision, and if my guess is good, right away you’ll have a new position.”

Alan Wilson did not take and Edward Bridges’ words today seriously, and a few days later, he was called by Norman Brooke to Seventy Whitehall, “Alan, diplomacy is something that must be fueled by intelligence, you are now the permanent undersecretary of the Foreign Office, and after discussion between me …… and the prime minister It was decided afterward that you would be the Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee.”

“Since the national interest requires me to take on this position, I will naturally do my best.” Alan Wilson was very shocked, but didn’t show it, he wanted to push back but fortunately didn’t do so.

The Joint Intelligence Committee was one of the many committees that Norman Brooke himself served on part-time, but of course the Joint Intelligence Committee was naturally very important, and Alan Wilson was able to use Britain’s intelligence forces in name only.

Norman Brooke slightly fatigued, this and Alan Wilson sitting on a rocket aftermath is completely different, but belongs to the performance of consuming too much energy, strong spirit commanded, “your wife, Pamela, has just caused an earthquake in the aviation industry, this matter you know it?”

“It’s known now.” Alan Wilson was very frank, he didn’t think there would be any problem with this matter.

“It’s kind of a good thing too. Although those two companies are also regarded as old military enterprises, but they are not worth sixty million pounds, the current domestic airlines are in fierce competition, sooner or later, it is going to come to this, I also know in my heart, these world wars grow up, it is impossible for all the companies to survive.” Norman Brooke nodded and said, “As an aviation powerhouse, we need the aviation industry to create jobs, and it’s very gratifying that the Mountbatten family can do so.”

“The Mountbatten family is indeed a great contribution to the country.” Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, “I’ve been very fortunate.”

“But that’s no reason to make you also Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee.” Norman Brooke laughed softly, “For important departments, I like to use a coterie of assistants and keep them in place for a long time. But there is also a need to consider the legacy of civilization, and it’s actually about time.”

Although Norman Brooke said it more subtly, the chord was consistent with Gerard Edward’s statement that he was not prepared to retire at the age of sixty-five, which was purely due to physical considerations.

For this reason even if he is less than sixty years old, he also began to consider the replacement of Whitehall, Alan Wilson did not have the only candidate, he can be examined through a few years of time, an absolutely passable successor, “By the way, when the Six-Party Talks are convened, the Prime Minister will have to make a trip to Africa, especially the colonies in Africa.”

“In October? Because of the implications of French African independence?” Alan Wilson was a bit surprised, then immediately said, “I will immediately prepare the information of the African colonies, as well as the assessment reports of the local leaders, so that the Prime Minister’s African trip can be more smooth sailing.”

The Prime Minister’s African tour is related to colonial independence, that’s for sure, but Alan Wilson actually wants the Prime Minister to pay attention to that place in British Guyana, for no particular reason, that is, it should be independent there.

Is there any place in this world that is proud to be colonized? Of course there are, such as Guyana, French Guyana is still part of France in later times, British Guyana only became independent in 1970, while Dutch Guyana’s independence was in 1975.

The entire Guyana region is divided into three countries, and the economy is second to none in all of Latin America. Much stronger than the Latin American countries that have long been independent, the problem is that Guyana, whether it is French, British and Dutch, simply does not want to be independent.

Dutch Guyana was still a leader who put his mouth shut, and it was only after the Dutch seized the opportunity to kick Guyana out of letting it become independent, which France never seized until the 21st century.

For this colony with no gross value, Alan Wilson means to hurry up and get rid of the burden, some islands can still be an offshore financial center, Guyana is obviously a group of lords.

“I will send MI6 intelligence officers to Guyana to do the investigation, if the investigation came out that the locals are trying to rely on the British hands not to be independent, it means that the situation is really serious.” In front of Norman Brooke, Alan Wilson stated his first action on taking over as Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee.

The French were just one step slower than Britain and Holland in causing French Guiana to fall into their hands. By the seventies, the people of French Guiana had discovered that the countries after the colony’s independence were still poor, and that they were better off as honorable Frenchmen themselves.

“Oh, if memory serves, this would be the first time I’ve heard you so sincerely wish for a colony to become independent.” Norman Brooke was dumbfounded, “You’re the Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee, of course you can do whatever is within your authority, but how are you going to do it?”

“Create public opinion that Guyana doesn’t want independence and then force it.” Alan Wilson spoke up and replied, “As a way to show that there has been a change of attitude in Britain on the colonial issue. Now is also the right time, otherwise there may be trouble after a long time.”

Alan Wilson but remember, Dutch Guiana die not independent, finally the Netherlands even promised a series of gratuitous grants to make Dutch Guiana independent success, this psoriasis or early to get rid of only peace of mind.

Leaving Whitehall seventy, as the British Secretary General of the Joint Intelligence Committee, Alan Wilson, who has just assumed office, met with Richard White, the head of MI6, hoping that MI6 would give a small try to prove its ability after his own assumption of office.

“Alan, I thought you were going to have some kind of operation in Iran.” Richard White breathed a sigh of relief, “So it’s such a small thing.”

“Wyatt, don’t think it’s simple. The economy in South America is generally bad. If there is a very large proportion of Guyanese who don’t want independence. That’s what’s going to get Britain into trouble. We must move faster than the Dutch well the French to do that.” Alan Wilson solemnly opened his mouth, hurry to withdraw the British troops in Guyana, so many colonies in Africa need to replenish it.

Britain’s valuable colonies are independent a bunch of, this is not much value to stay in the hands of the colonies to do what?

“Okay, leave it to me, you can rest assured.” Richard White could only nod his head, there were still colonies that didn’t pursue independence? He would know if he secretly investigated.
