Chapter 376 The Crown Prince
The Palestinian-Israeli issue is destined to be a dilemma that wouldn’t have dragged on into the twenty-first century if it were well resolved.
Alan Wilson felt that since the United States and the Soviet Union both supported Israel’s statehood and made such a big effort, wouldn’t you two new-generation countries do something a little more obvious?
Stop dragging Britain and France to deal with the problem within the framework of the United Nations, and completely get rid of Britain and France to go it alone.
Within the framework of the UN, it would make the UK look bad, and supporting the Arabs can’t be too obvious in practical terms.
Since you feel that Britain is already a has-been, do something more obvious to remind the Arabs of the attitudes of your two countries.
Israel’s statehood, of course, has the Soviet Union’s share, the death of two thousand years of Israel’s restoration in the Middle East, not only by the United States strongly supported, but also the former Soviet Union firmly supported. The Middle East fell back into the hands of Britain and France and basically remained as it was before the war.
Britain has been in control of Palestine and has a great deal of influence over the entire Middle East, especially Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and even Jordan.
France also had a great deal of influence over Syria and Lebanon, among others, and the post-war Soviet Union was eager to get its hands on the Middle East and exert its influence. To accomplish this it first had to get rid of British influence.
Jewish statehood in the Middle East was fully in line with the national interests of the USSR, so the USSR became a staunch supporter of Israel’s restoration.
The Jews were massacred in World War II as the underdogs and were supported and sympathized with by world public opinion. The USSR wanted to use this to gain support from all countries in the world. And supporting Israel was not an error of judgment on the part of the Soviet Union; the Soviet leadership actually understood that it was only a matter of time before Israel oriented itself to the West.
It was to first intensify the conflicts between Britain and the United States and even within the Western camp, and then next to use Israel’s discord with the Arab world to force the Arab countries to choose sides and fall to the Soviet Union.
At the United Nations meeting two months ago, the Soviet representative, Gromyko, had already shown a very clear inclination.
Now Britain is faced with the problem that the Jews have faced the Holocaust in Germany and are the main victims of World War II.
It was morally untenable for Britain to stand against Israel.
This is still a small problem, the big problem is that the United States and the Soviet Union’s attitude is the same, that is, to support the restoration of Israel, the bigger problem is that any one of these two countries, the United Kingdom can still be compared to the other, if the two people stood together, doomed to rest.
Pamela Mountbatten is still playing with a group of aristocratic ladies, Allen Wilson is out of the picture thinking hard, thinking about how to get out of the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
“Allen, you at least say a few words, just now the daughter of the Earl of Portsmouth, and asked you is not very boring?” Pamela Mountbatten came over and spoke quietly to get her fiancé to say more.
“There’s still an Earl of Portsmouth in England?” Alan Wilson froze, “I thought Portsmouth only had shipyards.”
The nobility was Allen Wilson’s intellectual blind spot, he had been around foreign countries in this life alone, not to mention his previous life. There was no understanding of these aristocrats in the country, in fact there was no need to understand.
The First World War was the moment when the British aristocracy was hit hard, with one-fifth of the heirs dying in battle. Immediately after the World War came another one, and this time it is not known how many nobles were killed.
But there is one thing, and that is that the aristocracy of Britain has been completely dysfunctional, and this point in time is now on the eve of the same free fall as Britain’s national situation.
Not to mention the descendants of these so-called nobles now, in later times even the granddaughter of Prime Minister Adderley became famous, in a depraved way, or else no one even cared what the descendants of the so-called nobles were doing.
“My dear, whether the noble group can be saved in the future depends on you.” On the way home, Alan Wilson had the feeling that Pamela Mountbatten was the one to revive the glory of the nobility, but of course it had to be with his assistance.
“But those friends of mine, they’d have to know you too.” Pamela Mountbatten beamed and whispered, “In the future it can’t be like today, in two days I will take you there. After father returns, I will take you to Clarence Palace.”
“The Crown Prince’s residence?” Alan Wilson froze, although he did not understand the nobles, but there was a limit to understanding.
In how not to understand, also know what kind of bedchamber, Buckingham Palace that is the king’s residence, Clarence Palace seems to have been internalized is the residence of the crown prince after the wedding.
See Pamela Mountbatten nodded, Alan Wilson almost foot paddled, asked a very direct question, “If the Crown Prince is a male called the Prince of Wales, what is the female called.”
Since the annexation of Wales by England, the King of England has bestowed the title of Prince of Wales on his eldest son. Since then, the title “Prince of Wales” has been given to the king’s male heir, and “Prince of Wales” has become synonymous with the Crown Prince of England.
“Call the Princess!” Pamela Mountbatten blankly glanced at Alan Wilson, and said in a bad mood, “Can’t also be called the Prince of Wales, right?”
The two made the journey to Clarence House without meeting either of the soon-to-be-married Crown Princes. It was at this time that Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten finally arrived in London, two days before the Crown Prince’s big wedding, rushing back from distant British India.
Mr. and Mrs. Mountbatten came back, immediately rushed to Windsor Castle, the castle has all the buildings are made of stone, a total of nearly 1,000 rooms, surrounded by green lawns and dense forests, but that was the summer, and now Windsor Castle can only be said to be more secluded, not as smoggy as London.
The castle has several dining rooms, as well as drawing rooms, ballrooms, audience rooms, drawing rooms, Waterloo Hall, St. George’s Hall and so on.
Waterloo Hall was built to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Waterloo. Inside the spacious and tall rectangular hall, the walls are covered with portraits of British war generals who were victorious in the Battle of Waterloo, and a huge flower-shaped mercury chandelier hangs from the roof.
During World War II, George VI and his wife, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, lived safely inside the castle.
General Mountbatten’s family, on the contrary, was very well traveled, but this definitely did not include Alan Wilson, a soft-spoken civil servant, but followed the Mountbattens into the mix, and could only pretend to have seen the world.
But for this one royal castle, it was impossible for Allen Wilson to say that he wasn’t curious, and General Mountbatten also saw this and let his own daughter lead Allen Wilson around.
“This is not good!” Ellen Wilson tensed her body and pushed back, “This is a royal castle, a very sacred place.”
“It’s no different from a normal apartment, it’s just a bit bigger.” General Mountbatten, his face full of the expression of the Dragon Pride possessed, talked a little about the history of the several halls of Windsor Castle, and then skimmed his lips, indicating that it was nothing more than that.
Has been pretending to have seen the world Allen Wilson although the mouth excuses, but the footsteps are not slow at all, on the same step also followed Pamela Mountbatten behind, but also did not forget to ask, “Do you often come here?”
“Not often, indeed I have been here a few times, and I know something about some of the arrangements.” Pamela Mountbatten cheerfully led the way, saying as she walked, “In fact, if you were able to come here a few more times, there wouldn’t be any reaction.”
“Uh-huh!” Alan Wilson held his breath and mentioned the news that Arium had told himself two days ago, “The jade that I had hoarded in Burma has been loaded and shipped back, when the time comes we’ll pick a place to build a manor of our own, it doesn’t have to be as big as this castle, the right size will do.”
Pamela Mountbatten stopped in her tracks, leading her fiancé to see the world can wait for a while, now first talk about the construction of the two later manor, inquiring about the problem of choosing a site, the city is not working, surely must be good for a place suitable for the manor.
“At that time in look at it.” Allen Wilson heart in fact has already had a site selection, just in the Hawksin treasure burial site.
Only that he hadn’t prepared the words to say, he wanted to share the joy of discovering the treasure with Pamela Mountbatten by chance.
And to use the treasure as a key to cementing their relationship, which was expensive, but not very important to someone like Allen Wilson, who didn’t have any great feeling for money.
Listening to Pamela Mountbatten talking with great interest about where to fit in, Allen Wilson spoke, “Let’s talk about it when the time comes. I’ll make sure you live happily anyway.”
“Sister, it’s Pamela’s voice.” Princess Margaret, who was following Princess Elizabeth, heard the conversation between the dog and boy from a long distance away and looked to her sister, Princess Elizabeth.
Shhh! Princess Elizabeth gave a wink to her own sister, a couple was thinking about their future life, just like herself who was about to get married, full of anticipation and nervousness about the future, these two feelings coexisted.
“But to be honest, with the current international environment, the Crown Prince’s future may not be optimistic. I hope she can adjust her mindset.” Alan Wilson did not change his key politics nature, and in order to divert the topic of where the Emerald House was built, he started key politics again.
“Again!” Pamela Mountbatten said as if no one else was there, “You care about too many things, more than the Prime Minister.”
“I’m a civil servant, I’ve had to serve this country all my life.” Alan Wilson said with an air of entitlement, “What else do I care about, of course I want this country to get better and better, do you think I’m one of those ministers who focuses on next week’s approval ratings every day? Those ministers are as untrustworthy as capital.”
“Then who do you think is more trustworthy in terms of loyalty to the country?” Pamela Mountbatten didn’t have the heart to say, “Who?”
“The nobility and civil servants, the nobility’s knighthood is given by His Majesty, and the civil servants are bound to the country for life, these two groups are definitely more trustworthy than ministers and capital.” Alan Wilson said without even thinking.
“Well, it’s time for us to go back, I wonder if the Crown Prince passed through the other promenade.” Pamela Mountbatten took Allen Wilson’s hand and strolled, “Don’t act like you’re in front of me when you see the Crown Prince.”
“Yes, ma’am.” Ellen Wilson didn’t forget to take advantage of the mouth.
“Sister!” Princess Margaret waited until the two were gone before she spoke softly.
“It’s fine, let’s go meet Lord.” Princess Elizabeth adjusted her mind to her sister.
