Chapter 1113 – My Son Shiloh

In this way, Rab Butler, the Foreign Secretary, was a pure tool man in the eyes of the Prime Minister. A Prime Minister’s answer man, resolutely following Aiden’s diplomatic strategy, such a role.

After Macmillan’s suspected disloyalty, Aidan was now more inclined to follow through thoroughly on his own diplomatic strategy, and after careful selection Rab Butler was chosen.

Alan Wilson guessed so, but the reality was much the same, and Aiden replaced Macmillan on the grounds that the present government had borne the reproach of the Labor Party, which of course, among Aidan’s own dictums, was a protection for Macmillan.

Rab Butler had just taken office when he happened upon the forthcoming meeting of the NATO foreign ministers, “I hear that the United States is going to put pressure on the European countries to give a definite answer on the colonial question.”

“So!” Allen Wilson raised an eyebrow, Mr. Kennedy is still really energetic, a reaction to the stopping incident really did not help at all, at best, let Kennedy perform a benevolent heart, spent tens of millions of dollars more for the protection of the victimized families of the subsidies.

A few tens of millions of dollars is a lot of money in the eyes of many countries, but for the United States is really not much of an expense.

“If the U.S. takes a hard line, we suggest that the Netherlands push Suriname out for independence. It makes no sense to colonize any part of the Americas under the watchful eye of the U.S. The huge expenditure is far outstripped by the benefits, and it should be let go in time.”

Alan Wilson thought of South America this odd place, the world stirring shit stick I Great Britain, God filial son of France, the sea coachman Holland, each is not dominating the world for hundreds of years, all nearly capsized in a small Guyana.

Guyana not only dragged the Netherlands enough, almost smashed in the hands of the United Kingdom, but fortunately the British response quickly first run. Otherwise a colony still want to grip the British wool not?

In this world point, hurry to Guyana kicked out is not too late, in a few years later, the Netherlands want to throw off can not be thrown off.

“The old man is fading away, like leaves falling in the wind.” After a pleasant meeting with the new Foreign Secretary, Alan Wilson left the Foreign Office, halfway through lamenting the elegy of the colonial era.

The poorest worker in London, England, puffed out his chest confidently when he thought of the industry and wealth of the British Empire! Not to mention him, the Secretary General, who controlled vast overseas assets.

Seventy Whitehall, Norman Brooke was sitting upright, waiting for Alan Wilson to come to his door to report on this trip to Asia, and just after meeting him, he bluntly said, “The Governor is furious this time.”

“Hundreds of thousands of colleagues of the overall interests of the local self-interest.” Alan Wilson answered unreservedly, “Xiangjiang’s today, also has Malaya’s credit, from two years ago, through Xiangjiang and Portugal’s Macao, there are four to five million tons of rice was smuggled, Xiangjiang accepted Malaya’s help, got London’s support, can not benefit are left behind by themselves, this kind of move is very selfish.”

Of course Alan Wilson does not deny that his wife Pamela Mountbatten’s grain merchants road, the first surprisingly in a large country to start, and also got a number of not small benefits. For example, now in the hands of his wife, there is really Chinese silver.

Hong Kong receives a gift as a transit point, and then the Governor talks about financial autonomy, is that not a joke? This is the same as Britain invested in a country, just a little bit of income you nationalize and let Britain get out?

That’s because we are all British, Alan Wilson sent someone to consolidate and see how he treats Mossadegh, the Governor should feel honored to be treated in this way.

As Cabinet Secretary, Norman Brooke of course felt that Alan Wilson did the right thing, the so-called financial autonomy is very bullshit, Hong Kong British-owned enterprises so many, talk about what financial autonomy?

“The current situation is still satisfactory.” Norman Brooke borderline said, “Maintaining a balance between the European Community and the Commonwealth has always been our top priority.”

Not being dependent on either market is something Britain has always strived for. From this point of view, it is not surprising that joining the EEC was met with some criticism at first. This is because at first membership of the EEC was going to be tax free for each other.

After Alan Wilson had made a trip to the Federal Republic of Germany, it was determined that in the short term the European continent would not be competitive with Britain, and that Britain would have plenty of time to make adjustments. On this premise, he set a favorable tax rate for Britain before the EEC was formed.

This EEC is not the historical EEC. Since Britain became the leading country, it could not just sit back and watch the emergence of unfavorable rules for Britain, so it can be said that from the very beginning, the EEC in this world could not play the role of unifying Europe.

Before the Second World War, Britain had the Commonwealth to rely on to form its own system and take up a large part of the trade volume. After the emergence of the European Community, Britain’s goal was to maintain a balanced trade without relying too much on a single market.

In fact, originally, by the 1960s, Britain’s foreign trade with the traditional Commonwealth countries had fallen to one-third, and its trade with Europe had exceeded fifty percent. Britain’s links with the Commonwealth became more and more distant.

And at present, there has not been such a thing, which sees the role of the Malayan colonies. Britain’s mainland single nucleus to influence the Asian direction of the market ability is not enough, to recreate a core to be able to do.

The original history, Britain with time more and more by the European market, in order to balance this impact must rely on the United States military balance, ultimately leading to the three rings of the diplomatic foundation of the Commonwealth more and more insignificant, and the United Kingdom also gradually can not find their own position.

If the Commonwealth gave way to the European market, it would also cause changes in countries such as Australia. If Australia believes that Britain is content to be a European country, the loss of British influence will also be accelerated when this mentality emerges.

Regardless of any perspective, maintaining the current situation, Malaya is extremely important.

And is Malaya only half a million square kilometers on the surface? Don’t forget that half of Kalimantan is still in the hands of the Netherlands, the Dutch capital is far less powerful than the British capital, and the siphoning effect of splitting Kalimantan in two, the Dutch part of the island, is also influenced by the British.

Norman Brooke still voiced the same old concerns, the loyalty problems that colonies are most prone to.

“I’ve talked to all the Justices of the Peace this time, and everyone recognizes that the model of Britain providing technological support and military protection, and them providing contacts to develop the market, to have the whole of Southeast Asia in their pockets, is the most appropriate development strategy. Compared to the old days, that invisible but real national boundary line has actually helped us a lot.”

Alan Wilson explained, with a humble heart, about the plan to take Malaya as the center and radiate to the periphery, “In fact, the Dutch island of Kalimantan, is an example that is more than obvious, and what we hope for is that in thirty to forty years, all the countries in Southeast Asia will have agents of Malayan spillover capital, in which the British capital is hidden.”

Truth be told, while Alan Wilson was explaining, what I, Sir Norman Brooke of the British Apocalypse, was contemplating was retirement, he was now feeling the physical exhaustion becoming more and more apparent, if it had been ten years ago, the Secretary Generals of a wide variety of committees would have been him personally and concurrently, whereas now, with the new departments being created, he was letting others run them.

This was a big step forward for the Cabinet Secretary who had almost exhausted the handful of important Whitehall departments.

After such a short conversation, Norman Brooke was already showing weariness, “All in all, when it comes to defending the collective rights, your colleagues have found you to be reliable and have an overabundance of energy, Alan, keep up the good work.”

“Just in terms of age? Did he make him a cabinet secretary for thirty years.” When Alan Wilson had departed, Norman Brooke fell into long thought.

Civil servants could not retire until they were sixty-five, as former Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges had been. It was only when Norman Brooke felt tired in the past two years that he moved to retire early.

Norman Brooke had read Allen Wilson’s file, and if he were to be the next Cabinet Secretary until he retired at the age of sixty-five, he would be able to do so almost thirty years later.

At this time, Norman Brooke did not know that the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whom he saw as a promising career, had a flexible date of birth, and could have done three years on top of what he had envisioned.

Even the original birth certificate, Allen Wilson have kept it, change the date of birth he is not the first time to do so, in his previous life home, age change is common, for various reasons, such as what morning school?

Accompanying Rab Butler to the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting was the foreign secretary’s first appearance at a post-war international conference, which featured heated discussions and war of words between foreign ministers.

France’s largest film company headquarters, the same war of words, the district two female president dare to rap here?

“Such an important occasion and you’re doing this.” Hedy Lamarr wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and whispered.

“I’m still doing this kind of thing under the deep concern of French intelligence.” Allen Wilson blurted.

During the past few days in Paris, Allen Wilson thought of something, and when he returned to London, he informed Charmaine about it, “My son, Shiloh, will definitely be a successful man with no worries in the future.”

“It doesn’t matter what it’s called, come over and see me then.” Charmaine pouted, hoping that Allen Wilson would come over after the baby was born.

The birth date was just a matter of these few days, and Xia Meng was alone in a foreign country, still instinctively hoping for a man’s protection. Allen Wilson pondered for a moment and nodded his head at Summer Dream’s nervous gaze, “I’ll make an exception for you.”

He had high hopes for this child, who could replace him in running the Asian side of the business twenty years later. In fact, he had wanted to name it Xia Jie, thinking that this name was more domineering.
