Chapter 171 Routine conversation
Alan Wilson what to do, naturally is to lead the MI5 agents, the Soviet delegation stayed in the hotel, from inside to outside of the inventory once, to prevent the dastardly Soviets left listening devices.
The results were very reassuring, the possibility of the East Window is no longer there, Alan Wilson with a serious face and MI5 agents solemnly said, “treat the Soviet Union such a country, in the careful are not too much, all the suspicious objects are handed over to me.”
After witnessing some cleanup, Alan Wilson believes that there will be no more risks, he even took away the toilet paper in Foltseva’s room, this era and no genetic testing, no one will know that they have come to Foltseva’s room.
Then he concentrated on preparing for the last thing in London, graduating from the Oriental College and leaving for New Delhi. Alan Wilson had been going to Oriental College significantly more often in recent days.
Decades later Oriental College, Oxford, had the highest enrollment of those wishing to study theology and Oriental studies.
This broad and demanding degree is particularly suited to those who want to explore, beyond Western society, the great religious traditions of the world.
Second only to Cambridge University in theology and philosophy, the Oriental College was a watered-down institution within Oxford in terms of gold content, but the Oxford brand was a definite benefit for the future.
Allen Wilson has always believed that there is no first martial arts is very correct, the liberal arts itself is susceptible to subjective influence.
In the role of promoting social progress, unless it has the status of Voltaire, Hugo. Otherwise, no matter what Orientalism, theology or philosophy is false, maybe not as useful as studying lawyers.
However, my Great Britain has its own national conditions here, as a colonial empire, the emergence of Oriental College is naturally to train professionals, while increasing the understanding of the world, whether it is China, India or Arabia, the colonial empire’s talent reserves are sufficient.
In the elective language above, Allen Wilson in the Oriental College got a record Chinese examination results, even so he did not proud, upholding the integrity of modesty, for the University of Oxford to continue to work hard.
But not the outbreak of war, the old man felt that Europe is more dangerous, Allen Wilson has long graduated. Facts proved the old man’s judgment wrong, Asia in the subsequent war also broke out.
Before graduation, Allen Wilson had been able to engage in friendly sparring with the college’s lecturers, and had been hailed as a student with a keen talent for foreign involvement, coupled with an age advantage that was even more impressive.
If it hadn’t been for the damned war, Allen Wilson might have become a scholar with a wide range of sympathies.
But all that changed, and he went the other way, having to defend the British Empire resolutely for the rest of his days.
In fact, he had only just finished defending it once, so that the Soviets tasted the bitterness of being passive, only this kind of deep-rooted things can not be said, only Alan Wilson merit no one knows, Alan’s name with the world to live on.
I do not know if it is an illusion, after returning to London, Alan Wilson felt that his car skills have made great progress.
Drove to the Foreign Office building, handed in his thoughts on this reception of Soviet cultural representatives work, Allen Wilson is quite sentimental, if the world a few more people like himself, the world commonwealth will surely come soon.
George Milton, director of personnel department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, met Alan Wilson in his office, after asking about the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such as whether the adaptation, and pleasantly said, “Alan, in fact, you know, there is no barrier between the local civil servants and the colonial civil servants, but in a mutually reinforcing relationship. It’s because of the large colonial civil service that our professionalism is enhanced, after all, it’s always bad to be isolated, we need to understand the society.”
Er! Alan Wilson savored George Milton’s words and questioned, “I wonder if the director could have said it more intuitively, after all, I haven’t gone through the complexities of social indoctrination, and I’m still quite limited in terms of comprehending the important spiritual aspects of the situation.”
“Oh, Alan, don’t you have any ideas about your future?” The cloying flash on George Milton’s face had to be picked out, “If it is in the interest of preserving the Empire to let you work in the far east, I believe you won’t refuse.”
The transfer order came! Alan Wilson almost jumped up, to have such a good thing, he had been longing for it for months.
Could it be that he had drawn European Qi from the Culture Czar? A change of fortune?
Alan Wilson suppressed his joy and said, “Personally, I never pay attention to what position I am in, no matter what position I am in it is to contribute to the British Empire. Of course, if my superiors believe in me, whether it is Bombay or New Delhi, I am obliged to do so.”
Compulsory? Aren’t Bombay and New Delhi both British India? To say that it was incumbent upon him was in fact to point out something particularly obvious.
However, George Milton did not point out, but showed a very satisfied expression on this answer, “In fact, Sir Alexander and I are very satisfied with your work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, very much want to keep you.”
“However, the world is vast, the war has just ended, and there are still very many places to show off your skills. The extensive colonies need to be managed, the countless people who support His Majesty need to be properly guided by the Empire, and the interests of the British Empire are spread all over the world, so I cannot selfishly keep you among the Foreign Office, and the work of the Indian Ministry is still very busy.”
“The importance of British India to the British Empire cannot be overstated, whether in the end it is to preserve the unity of the Empire or to grant freedom to the Indians out of goodwill, we need a candidate who knows the area well and is courageous and most importantly reliable to accomplish this difficult job.”
Finishing a long speech as if chanting, George Milton took a breath and inquired, “I wonder if Alan, is ready to go to his new job?”
“This is of course ……” Alan Wilson words as soon as he left his mouth before he felt as if he was overly eager, as if he disliked the work of the Foreign Office, changed the wording and said, “Although it’s only been a short period of time, I have to admit. The work of the Foreign Ministry impressed me deeply, meeting my colleagues at every moment, without fail, to protect the interests of the Empire as their own.”
“It is only among the Foreign Ministry that we can understand the complexity of the world as a whole, and most importantly our enemies or allies, the multitude of elites that also exist in such departments, all of which adds an unexpected level of difficulty to diplomacy.”
“I believe that the experience of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been a very valuable life asset for me, an asset that will play a crucial role in my future work experience. The Foreign Office has taught me reconciliation and tolerance, and if I were to travel to British India to work there, I am sure I would look at the people of British India with compassion and spread the gospel of the British Empire, throughout the subcontinent.”
Originally it was just a casual remark, but later on Allen Wilson actually had the feeling that he believed it. This is in the end the environment changes people, or personal character determines the future development?
This long speech left a deep impression on George Milton, the person the cabinet secretary valued really had potential, like a civil servant of this age, able to open his eyes and say such a long paragraph of nonsense, but it is not rare.
“Don’t be so solemn, I’m just routinely seeking the opinion of the person in question. Of course I and many of my colleagues agree with your transfer order, especially Sir Edward.” George Milton said meaningfully, “The formal transfer order will be officially issued after you have dealt with your personal matters, and I wish you all the best in your new job.”
“Thank you, Honorable Director.” Alan Wilson took a soft, deep breath to prevent being seen by the man-child in front of him. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t excited to finally be going back, his heart was thumping rather loudly now.
If he hadn’t returned to his homeland, Allen Wilson couldn’t even imagine how much his friendship with the former richest man in the world, Ali Khan, would be in place, and how much sunken affection he would be able to receive in the course of these few months.
Although the profits from the tobacco factories in British-occupied territories were also explosive enough, but who would be too short for something like money?
If he was still in British India, he might have been able to be even more efficient, taking into account both personal and national interests.
Needless to say, time will prove that Alan Wilson’s departure from India will be a loss for the entire British Empire. Now, however, there was finally a chance to set things right, and he could finally go back.
There was only one thing left to do, hurry up and graduate from Oriental College, as time passed Allen Wilson’s dissatisfaction with the backward classes, the schoolmasters, grew by the day, and although he was young enough, time was precious.
“I have no quarrel with the honorable history of Oxford; it is only the delay of some, some, a handful of lecturers that is rather disappointing.”
In the evening, in the presence of the officers of the Treasury, Alan Wilson poured out his grievances, not daring to have anything against Oxford, both Oxford and Cambridge, which were very influential among the civil servants of the British Empire, but he only thought that some of the lecturers were in trouble.
“I’m sure it should be soon, questions involving education may require a colleague from the Ministry of Education to give you an answer.” Henry shrugged and sipped a glass of whisky, returning the flavor, “Oxford and Cambridge are extraordinary after all, if you’re talking about the London School of Economics and Political Science, we could have pressed the matter by passing the word. I’m guessing it’s just a matter of days! I don’t know if we’ll be able to get together from time to time, as we are now, after Alan has left.”
“Of course, I’m sure there’s definitely that chance.” Alan Wilson raised his glass, “Maybe even more frequently then.”
