Chapter 1212 – Whitehall

Vivienne cheered at the man’s return, her eyes involuntarily drawn to him. She saw the water droplets resting on the tip of his nose and upper lip, and suddenly she didn’t feel cold either. As if with a will of its own, her right hand reached out and brushed a droplet off his mouth. Her fingers lingered there, a strange warmth spreading through her blood.

“Vivian.” The man whispered, his lips moving under her palm. She was breathless again, and unable to speak.

“You’re so beautiful.” Her hands went to his chest and he leaned forward, while she stood on tiptoe. He gripped her shoulders with his fingers and pulled her close. The kiss was light and gentle and amazingly beautiful. It was her ideal kiss, only too short.

Marilyn Monroe was all mushy, not that she had anything against the man, and she wasn’t in a position to be.

But the sight of poor Tom being played with just couldn’t help but expose the gentleman for the hypocrite he was.

“Monroe is still there.” Vivien Leigh finally stopped indulging in male sex, “Did you come over to deliver the script?”

The script! Oh, the script, Allen Wilson remembered he had used the movie script to get Vivien Leigh to trick Marilyn Monroe into coming to London, which of course was in actuality just an excuse he had used to hold JFK hostage for this Nassau meeting, which could be said to have worked or not worked because Dulles had really talked to him about relationship men and women.

Let’s say it was useful, Alan Wilson brainstorming, he as an extremely professional movie people, not only will only take the movie queen will be on a rocket, must take out the talent to hibernate these movie queen.

The script is not there for the moment, but he will be able to make the appearance of there, “This is a very good script, I believe that once filmed, can subvert the image of Ms. Monroe, can be a huge benefit.”

Before becoming the supreme authority, Alan Wilson may be the last time, as a diplomat to write a script, he loved the Truman’s World movie, and just happily decided to copy it ……

As for Monroe’s role, of course, it is a change from the previous meat-selling vase role, rescuing Truman to tell it the truth of the heroine.

Will probably the idea out, Marilyn Monroe really surprised, “your imagination is very can well, if in Hollywood, certainly is a very good screenwriter.”

“At best I complained about my bad luck, never doubted my talent.” Alan Wilson had a pretentious expression, “But obviously, in terms of benefiting society, the current career is still more suitable for me, rather than plunging into the movie industry.”

It’s as if Hepburn, who was known for her innocent face, could play Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which was tailor-made for Marilyn Monroe, and how Marilyn Monroe couldn’t play Truman’s World. Although it was a male-dominated movie, adding a little bit of the heroine doing the white moon scene doesn’t hurt the classic.

After all, it was a product of the era of Hollywood’s cultural hegemony at its zenith, and not a comic book series that focuses on special effects. Alan Wilson believed that a good script would not be buried just because he copied it a little.

With that, Marilyn Monroe decided to stay in England for the time being to prepare for a movie in Europe for the sake of the script.

Alan Wilson and Vivien Lei two, for Marilyn Monroe near to find a house, the three together to visit.

Marilyn Monroe was pleased that the front door was open and there was a warm fire in the living room. The interior was filled with chairs and sofas and actually had a grand piano. Looking through the door to the right of the living room, Coquette saw a small library with books lining the walls. To the left was the dining room, containing a large oak table with eight chairs around it, and beyond that was the kitchen.

“Not bad, London’s climate is still a bit different from America’s at this time of year.” Alan Wilson also said with satisfaction, “I hope Ms. Monroe can make herself at home. Of course, you can also stay at Vivian’s place and come over to reside here during your free time.”

After all, he was a man of equal status to Vivienne and her husband, it would be a bit inconvenient for the two women to live in the same house when they came over, it would be much more convenient to live separately, and anyway, the sight distance was less than two hundred feet, and it would be convenient for the two ladies to string together.

“What for?” Marilyn Monroe looked puzzled, wondering why the man had gone and returned.

“It’s a little easier to give Curcumin the key to the room.” Alan Wilson bluntly stated the purpose.

God knows how the man in front of her got that out, Marilyn Monroe simply wanted to laugh out loud, and then shoved the room key into Allen Wilson’s hand, whispering, “You can be really surprising.”

“Thanks!” Alan Wilson shook the room key and muttered to himself, “I’m okay when it comes to time management.”

She was pushed straight up the stairs by Alan Wilson. Before she could catch her breath, she was already sinking into a vat of rose-scented hot water, the steam floating up her face and relaxing her. There wasn’t a sound in the house and she closed her eyes easily.

Alan Wilson traveled to Whitehall to see the Supreme Authority, Norman Brooke, to report on the inner workings of this Nassau Talks.

Norman Brooke knew the ins and outs of the Nassau talks very well, “Kennedy hadn’t accomplished his goal, and probably wouldn’t rest yet; that’s the way it is with people in politics; if they lose, they hold a grudge, and if they win, they attack back. But it’s against the government, Americans won’t do anything to you, we are ultimately at the mercy of politicians.”

“Whenever I think of the United States, I mention Judas crying foul, a country that is headstrong, perfidious, and good for nothing.” Alan Wilson pulled in a long voice, “Every time the United States said that for the good of Britain, to world the special relationship between Britain and the United States, I feel feel that I feel that I am going to be stabbed in the back.”

“Actually, with Kennedy, I’m still a little worried.” Norman Brooke frowned, headstrong, backstabbing, and good for nothing used in the United States are right, because of this, to think about the Americans did not hit the purpose to be what else to do, “If I were Kennedy, in the case of Quebec did not make a fuss, may be against Newfoundland.”

Alan Wilson nodded, there is indeed this possibility, from this point of view, after de Gaulle’s government dominated France, led to the awakening of Quebec’s self-consciousness, but also really helped Britain a little.

After chatting about the Nassau meeting, Allen Wilson jokingly asked about the recent life of Norman Brooke.

“It’s been the same as usual lately, had a chat with Gaetzke the other day.” Norman Brooke replied with a smile.

“The Labor Party leader is also concerned about this Nassau conference, isn’t he?” Alan Wilson was also interested to know what the opposition party thought of the Nassau conference, “Would it be thought that the Conservatives are selling out?”

“We’re the only civil servants in Britain who really do what’s best for the country, all those parties are opposing for the sake of opposing.” Norman Brooke said with an old sense of humor, “It doesn’t really matter what method is used as long as the interests of Britain are maintained, he could even be a Marxist.”

“It’s like when Labor was in power and the Department for Education boasted about the ability of comprehensive quality education to smooth out class differences. And when the Conservatives come to power, they can change their rhetoric to praise cheap, stable and efficient. To Labor we say that selective education will lead to early family class divisions, to the Conservatives we explain that selective education will lead to ridiculously expensive education.”

“And we’re supposed to be on that side?” Alan Wilson felt as if he understood something and didn’t quite.

“On your side. Existence makes sense, and everything lies in balance. It’s the same as offshore balance, used well it’s a weapon that can do no harm, used poorly it can bury us all.” Norman Brooke smiled, “And the essence of offshore balance is that Britain itself cannot be weak, just as Whitehall cannot be weak.”

“The data can be diametrically opposed, the conclusions can be contradictory, just as much as the party in power and the party in opposition, and just as much as the basic principles of how Whitehall operates.” Norman Brooke said this, “Tomorrow is Christmas, meet with your colleagues in Whitehall, and in a week’s time you’ll be leading Whitehall, in your new role.”

“It’s hard not to be jittery when you think about the days ahead.” Alan Wilson said with feeling.

“I’ve bought a house in Perth.” Norman Brooke suddenly spoke up, “When the time comes, if you have any difficulties, you can send me a telegram, it’s not really difficult. Isn’t the overseas headquarters of the Mountbatten Group in Perth.”

On Christmas Day, December 25, Alan Wilson came to Seventy Whitehall as scheduled, led by Norman Brooke, to meet with colleagues who would be joining hands in the future.

Taking advantage of the Christmas reception, Norman Brooke sort of paved the way for Alan Wilson to become the Cabinet Secretary. It has long been an open secret who the next cabinet secretary-general will be, but without officially taking office, everything is still a theoretical variable.

However, Norman Brooke has received accurate information from Prime Minister Aidan, after this Nassau meeting, the prime minister is very satisfied with the next cabinet secretary general, Allen Wilson’s ascendancy is absolutely not a problem.

At this moment, Allen Wilson is actually in a complicated mood, the opportunity to travel in the future is much less, can not move to run outside, Stockholm, Bonn, Paris is not so easy to want to go, this is really a loss.

The post of Cabinet Secretary General can be traced back to the medieval monarch’s chief advisor position.

The duties of a monarch’s chief advisor, despite their different names, are essentially to act as a senior advisor to the monarch, coordinate the work of the government, safeguard the nation’s security, preserve its history, and prevent the country from disintegrating from within.

As the Prime Minister and his government take office, they bring with them a range of policies to be implemented, and it is up to the Cabinet Secretary to bring his talents to bear in ensuring that the Cabinet Office, the machinery of the state, is working to serve the Prime Minister and his government and to implement the policies.

At the start of the new year, Norman Brooke officially stepped down and Alan Wilson began his own era as the fourth Cabinet Secretary since Maurice Hankey.
