Chapter 157: Friendships Can Disappear

How to avoid finishing things in just a few sentences and completing a draft manifesto that no one could see the end of was actually something that tested the endurance, Alan Wilson didn’t have the time to pretend to have a good time right now, but instead tried to find a way to find all the terms that he had learned in this life and add them to the manifesto that no one could see the end of.

On his right hand, on the other hand, was a document, Alexander Kojève’s outline of the state of France, a name that Alan Wilson felt mushy at the sight of, a proper Slavic name.

The fact is exactly the same, Alexander Koyev was born in the Russian Empire, left Imperial Russia after the emergence of the Soviet Union, so the composition is a White Russian, France before World War I to contain Germany, France and Russia alliance is strong and incomparable, is the cornerstone of the Allied Powers, France and Imperial Russia’s friendship and trust, far above the British and French.

After the collapse of Imperial Russia, a large number of Imperial Russian aristocrats chose France as a place of exile, and there were large numbers of White Russians living in Paris.

Literarily, the British Empire did not really rank in Europe, and the real cultural powerhouses were France and Imperial Russia. Among the intellectual community, Britain could never compete with these two countries.

After a long period of study, Alexander Kojève built up great prestige among the French intellectuals in 1945, and wrote the Outline of the French State as a reference for post-war France.

Now the French State of the Union has also become the reference document of Alan Wilson, the reason for the reference is how to decipher how France will challenge Britain in the future European Community, and for this reason, it is necessary to make a good plan in advance.

The outline of the French state mentioned that the Latin Empire was geographically dominated by France, Spain and Italy, while uniting the vast colonies, Africa and Latin America, which had close ties.

Politically, the Latin Empire had to create a realistic and effective political unity similar to the Commonwealth or the Soviet Union.

At the same time, the Latin Empire had to have the confidence to create a concept of empire that had not been seen before, because the various nation-states that the Latin Empire was to unite had long and separate histories, and in order to achieve a high degree of unity within the empire it had to develop an imaginative concept of empire.

Alan Wilson remembers that France will soon begin to establish the French Federation, probably similar to the Commonwealth, which can be regarded as the so-called prototype of the Latin Empire, only in the end, the French Federation later evolved into the French Community, and finally became a pure promotion of the French language francophone organizations.

The idea of a Latin Empire in the outline of the French State could be said to have been ultimately unsuccessful, but there should be a number of intellectuals in France now who are enthusiastic about the concept. Preparing some strategies to deal with it is the job of an imperial civil servant.

It’s not like Allen Wilson would be fatigued to any extent, and when things came up, in case they were taken seriously by the London government, it was another credit to show his ability, and with the heart of progress, Allen Wilson thought it was all worth it.

After all, about the French state is among the outline, mentioned the concept of the Latin Empire is still very bluff, to know especially Spain and Portugal, the two Latin-speaking countries, because of the relationship between the ancestral broad over, the entire United States south of the Latin territory.

Although the likelihood of this concept coming to fruition is almost non-existent, given the emergence of such a concept, a good response plan for this would not be a mistake by any stretch of the imagination.

Getting the draft on the European Foreign Legion, and the analytical response to the outline of the French state right, Alan Wilson went in search of Edward Bridges to see if it would go over well.

“Not bad!” Edward Bridges took the analytical document of the outline of the French state, put the British position of the European Foreign Legion aside, and haughtily nodded his head, “It’s just that for every important international meeting, the declarations that are taken out are dull and boring, and the people of various countries can’t understand them anyway, and there are also countless good people analyzing them from various perspectives, showing that they know a lot, so the declaration of the six states It’s not that important.”

“But France, well, that’s another issue.” Edward Bridges chuckled, “We and this neighbor of ours are old rivals for hundreds of years. There have been ample exchanges since the Hundred Years War!”

Alan Wilson nodded, the definition of the Hundred Years’ War is really not good to judge, who is right and who is wrong standing on different perspectives, all have their own reasoning, the interior of France was originally the territory of the King of England at that time.

But the end result is the French victory, expelling Britain from the territory of Europe, if the Hundred Years’ War is the British victory, may be a few hundred years in the morning Europe appeared after the merger of Britain and France’s powerful countries.

“If there is a body in Europe in which all nations participate, we still have to defend ourselves against the French, so that means that your preparations are certainly very much in line with the ethics of the imperial civil service.” Edward Bridges looked the document over and finally recognized it, “Establishing a Latin Empire? The French are really daring too, oh, and the author is a Russian, two fantastical peoples all coming together.”

“It’s probably just an expressive desire, a Russian trying to fit in so he does his best to advise France.” Alan Wilson went along with Edward Bridges while commenting.

“Regarding the European Foreign Legion, both the Prime Minister and I agree that the number should not be too large, the four countries together should ideally not exceed 100,000, but the skeleton must be there. Out of response to the future, we will decide whether to expand the size when the time comes.” Edward Bridges said with a slight forehead and in a slow tone, “Speaking of which, the prosperity and growth of the British Empire is also not possible without the risk of some foreign soldiers, especially the support of British India.”

“Alan, that’s exactly what you’re very familiar with isn’t it?” Alan Wilson was just listening but was coldly named by the Kernel Secretary and immediately replied, “Honorable Sir Edward, it is.”

“I have had discussions with my colleagues in the Indian Affairs Department and the Foreign Office, and we all agree that we need a suitable candidate to follow through on the London square for this special time.” Edward Bridges said this and glanced at Alexander Cadogan and said, “Alexander, is that correct?”

“It is so Sir Edward.” Alexander Cadogan followed up with a sniff and immediately stated, “We need an enthusiastic, energetic candidate for this.”

“And most importantly reliable.” Edward Bridges added unperturbed, “Alan, if you could return to British India and work amongst familiar surroundings, wouldn’t that please everyone.”

“I will do my best wherever I work. As long as the Empire needs me.” Alan Wilson lowered his head, humility was evident in his tone, completely the performance of a people’s servant.

“Very well, after this Brussels meeting, you Trade Commission’s work is taken care of and wait for notification.” Edward Bridges, with a straight face, said in a business-like tone, “I remember that you have not yet graduated, right, in the middle of this time to complete the graduation formalities, put down all the attachments, when the time comes to set sail to the dream promise land. As soon as there is a consensus in London as to the fate of British India, you will have to devote yourself to the work with all your energies.”

“I’m sure the Indians have been waiting for this day for a long time.” Allen Wilson suppressed the booming heartbeat; at last he was rewarded for his hard work and could return to the Land of the Souls as an old friend of the Indian people.

In an instant Allen Wilson’s fatigue was swept away, but of course the little civil servant did not get carried away, but said that even his work in British India required teaching and criticism from the Cabinet Secretary from time to time.

The present Brussels conference was a great success, a historic breakthrough in European economic cooperation. Post-war reconstruction, safeguarding the interests of all countries and early restoration of economic prosperity were the main points of this Brussels Conference.

The United Kingdom and France need to properly deal with the differences within Europe, strengthen relations with countries outside Europe, as well as curb wars, promote reconciliation, and build a peaceful and prosperous world. The Brussels Conference is intended to be a win-win situation with long-term benefits, and the ultimate goal is for the world to realize common prosperity.

The heads of state and foreign ministers attending the conference have all said that Europe will have a better tomorrow.

In terms of deterring war and protecting common interests, Britain and France said that they would look to the future, promote regional cooperation and common defense obligations, and facilitate defense agreements that are beneficial to peace in Europe.

On the basis of common interests, a defense force comprising Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Belgium, a military force of not more than 100,000 men, was to be established.

At almost the same time as the Brussels conference, Stalin held a major conference in Moscow on post-war reconstruction, and the Soviet Foreign Minister then publicly announced that he wanted to focus on promoting the issue of post-war reconstruction, that the rehabilitation of the huge number of soldiers who had fought in the war was already underway, and that the USSR would be centered on a military build-up for some time to come.

The two announcements were made within a few days of each other, and for a time the clouds of war that had hung over Europe had lifted. The newspapers of all countries were full of praise for the advent of peace in successive articles.

“Who would have maintained armies of tens of millions? But it is just a time to show goodwill to the British Empire. The only thing the Soviet Union has to show for it is the army, but it is the last card, and I just don’t believe that the Soviet Union would dare to go down with us.” Allen Wilson in the reception that followed, with a haughty face to speak loudly.

The Soviet Union is nothing, if not for the Americans in the middle of the mud, the British Empire will definitely teach the Soviet Union to be human.

“Alan, you have always been convinced of the weakness of the Soviet Union. Is there any definite intelligence?” Nino Bertrand opened his mouth to test if it was true that Britain had its own people within the Soviet Union.

“Eh, there’s no concrete intelligence, it’s based on the First World War, France’s losses from fighting on the home front were projected.” Allen Wilson inadvertently began today’s insults to France.

Nino Bertrand looked embarrassed and glanced at the diplomats of the surrounding countries, so the friendship will disappear, right?
