Chapter 1155 – Combined Ministry Plan

To hold a big stick in your hand with a smile on your face, or to meet resistance, sweep the iron stick across the room, increase resistance, thicken the iron stick.

Two quotes from the United States and the Soviet Union, the UK would still favor the chosen style of dealing with the rebellious son.

The Maoist kind of straight-forwardness is fine if you’re in the honeymoon period, and it’s really bad when you really flip out.

The key is that you still do not know, Mao Zi is in the big brother to pull out the heart, for the allies of the two ribs, or in the stage of the advent of the doting father, this is very troublesome.

At home with his wife, Alan Wilson learned of the Indian reply, Nehru and Shastri’s name is not much of a problem, but saw the name of Desai’s, his throat knot involuntarily squirm.

“My goodness, what did you see that made you so sick?” Pamela Mountbatten happened to see this scene, curiously glanced at the reply telegram from India, her eyes fell squarely on the name Desai, and she couldn’t help but bristle, “This man, he can’t be that Congress party’s top man.”

“The man who can join Nehru and Shastri’s name, who else but him?” Alan Wilson forced himself to hold back his nausea, he has also been in many battles, he has seen a lot, which top brass in India has he not seen before?

But precisely because he had seen it, he felt that he was still young and insufficient to deal with all the problems in this world.

Until today, he still remembers the scene where the Congress Party’s senior, and later a certain Prime Minister of India, surrounded by thousands of people, promoted naturopathy without changing his face.

Natural remedies are based on Hindu traditions and are closely related to the beliefs of the Indian people, and Desai used this as a means of rallying support by drinking a cup of urine in one absolutely clean and hygienic gulp, in full view of thousands of people.

This scene, at the time, scared the piss out of tiny imperialist lapdog Alan Wilson, who exclaimed that India was invincible.

Pamela Mountbatten had only heard of this man from her husband, she had only heard of him at the Viceroyalty of British India. But still, she could recall the way Allen Wilson’s face was white with fear at the time.

“I remember he was a conservative of the Congress Party, like Patel.” Pamela Mountbatten inquired, “India expressing understanding this time? That was unexpected.”

“He’s at the top, but Nehru speaks for himself.” Alan Wilson got up and got a glass of wine, deciding to suppress the memories of the naturopathy, and continued, “So far, Nehru’s reaction is still sort of restrained, like I said before, an Eagle class, two Centaur battle groups, and a nuclear submarine are enough to make our presence felt in India, and Malaya isn’t too far away, and with the British money back in Burma. India as a neighbor can also feel it.”

This brings us to the benefits of General Aung San being alive, Britain doesn’t care about countries like Burma going left and right, it’s nice to have an equal share of the benefits of the neighboring countries, and at this current time, Malaya can exert an influence on the neighborhood by virtue of the siphon effect.

The inhabitants of Malaya don’t have to think about anything, just follow the instructions sent from London to fulfill their tasks.

“Forget India, I’ll reply to them at work tomorrow, what about you? Got the broadcasting rights for Australia done? The most important thing is that this Games should be profitable, create economic benefits, or at least not lose money.”

“Done, I also picked up the broadcast rights for Canada and Newfoundland through the Hardison Bay Company.” Pamela Mountbatten was uptight, “But on the Olympic Committee’s side, will there be any resentment?”

“The insertion of commercials? And the in-arena ad thing?” Alan Wilson bristled, “Whatever they care, this is the Commonwealth Games, not the Olympics. Working with the Anti-Doping Organization is all part of supporting the work of the Olympic Committee, and picking on it?”

Olympic venues don’t allow on-field advertising, which is what makes the Olympics different from other events.

The mission and vision of the Olympic Games determine its humanistic, social and spiritual attributes above all else, and certainly above commercial attributes.

In the Olympic venues, it is to highlight the Olympic elements and the Olympic spirit, rather than diluting and watering down these most important things with the branding and commercial elements of a large number of sponsors.

Therefore, the “Clean Venue” principle of the Olympic Charter stipulates that, during the Olympic Games, all buildings, facilities and areas within the view of spectators, registrants and television and video cameras should be free of commercial advertising or other messages that are not in keeping with the ambience of the Olympic Games.

In other words, no commercial branding or advertising is permitted in the area within visual reach of the Olympic Games, or in any area visible through the broadcast screen. This principle is mandatory for all Olympic host cities.

Leave the humanity and spirit to the Olympics, it’s the Commonwealth Games and Alan Wilson would prefer to make it is advertising show if he could, the key is to make a profit, everything else is bullshit.

The Olympics are running out of applicants after decades, Britain can’t afford to be in the business of losing money.

“The Games, too, are a cultural event, and I would ideally like to make a concerted effort to contact some of the singers and actors who are widely respected in the English-speaking world.” Alan Wilson said his thoughts, in the latter days of the London Olympics, Bean did not also make an appearance?

The London Olympics is not like some people say it is a failure, after all, Britain’s influence in the English-speaking world exists, and the London Olympics influence is said to be the best in twenty years.

“Not that I don’t believe it, but darling, you don’t go well with culture.” Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and snickered, “And besides, you made such a big deal out of it? Someone has to go along with it too.”

“Diverse society, to reflect the different cultural characteristics of the British Empire, the local let Taylor cooperate, the rest all called from Xiangjiang, let the Governor of Hong Kong, the local legislator notify, almost on the line.”

Alan Wilson remembered that he treated the financial independence policy that the Hong Kong Governor strongly advocated as a fart last time, and now the Hong Kong Governor might not have lost his temper, so he would not trouble his old man.

Xia Meng must attend, this kind of event similar to a political mission will greatly improve the status of a star, especially for Xia Meng, as for Elizabeth Taylor, he asked Vivien Lei if she had the face to invite.

Finalizing these things took a few more days, Alan Wilson also took the opportunity to go to Glasgow, and the local interns exchanged a few words before continuing to talk about armed mediation without panic, expressed concern to New Delhi about the status of Goa, formally informed Nehru, ready to take advantage of the occasion of the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, to invite Portugal, as well as India, to talk about it openly and honestly.

Diplomatic work, Alan Wilson is cooperating with the Foreign Secretary, to promote the merger of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Commonwealth Office, in different historical periods, the British foreign work, there are a series of departments such as the Commonwealth Department, the Colonial Department, the Ministry of Indian Affairs, the Ministry of the Autonomous Territories and so on.

These departments and the Foreign Office were located on different floors of a headquarters building, and each Foreign Secretary was interested in merging the other departments, but of course the other departments did not feel the same way.

Alan Wilson, as permanent undersecretary of the department, was naturally obliged to add to the importance of the department, and both Macmillan, the former minister, and Rab Butler, the present minister, had his full support in this matter.

The development is such that even the UK itself has moved from an incremental market to a stock market. If you want your own department to be strong, you have to incorporate these same working departments.

The proposal to merge the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office was once again handed over to Prime Minister Aidan through the current Foreign Secretary, Rab Butler, and on the surface of course it was something about streamlining the department and saving the budget, which is what everyone likes to say, and it’s politically correct to say so.

But in fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to fully dominate the foreign policy of the heart, can be said to be Sima Zhaoshi everyone knows. Many Cabinet ministers know this all too well, and that includes the current education secretary, Macmillan.

“Citizens have always been dissatisfied with the bloat of government, and the fact is that in the post-colonial era, it is very easy indeed to be targeted when numerous departments stand side by side sharing the same affairs.” In an impassioned speech at the Cabinet meeting, current Minister Rabo Butler expressed the need to take a leading role in streamlining staff and saving the budget.

“In fact, we all know that consolidating the external departments and centralizing them is the trend.”

McMillan listened to Rab Butler’s speech with a bad taste in his mouth, a rhetoric he knew all too well. If he remembered correctly, when he was the Foreign Secretary, the Foreign Ministry submitted a proposed article that was exactly the same as Rab Butler’s elaboration.

“It’s not unreasonable!” Aiden was not very resistant to this, because previous Foreign Ministers had suggested the same thing, and Rab Butler was loyal to him, so it was not logical or reasonable to oppose it.

“Permanent Undersecretary, there seems to be some news from the Commonwealth Office that is somewhat pessimistic about the future.” Alan Wilson’s office, Wick, who had the potential to be a spy, sneaked in and snitched at his top boss, but also said with an unresolved conscience, “Permanent Undersecretary, colleagues in other departments are a little worried about the future of their posts yet.”

“That can’t be helped, merging departments would make it …… well, easier for me to advance the minister’s foreign policy.” Alan Wilson said expressionlessly, “And colleagues may be too impatient, merging departments is fine, but it won’t bring layoffs, much less any financial savings.”

“The thing is obvious, after merging the departments, there are still so many things to face, and not adding jobs is considered a load off the shoulders of all colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and layoffs just don’t make sense.”

Alan Wilson, in a cross-fingered, tactical backward posture, said compassionately, “We all know that diplomacy is no small matter, and that’s especially true for Britain. Every part of it is so important, and to cut staff is to cut the influence of the British Empire.”
