Chapter 404: A Pivotal Year
At present McCarthy was far from being a powerful man, but a very ordinary senator in the Republican party.
The British Consulate’s assessment of McCarthy was not a mistake, but very apt, and if McCarthy’s eventual downfall is taken into account, it is a very correct assessment.
Was McCarthy dumped because he was anti-Communist? Absolutely not, in fact for politicians of McCarthy’s stance, opposition to communism was a plus, definitely not a minus.
McCarthy’s final demise can be attributed to a bad brain. He did this when the Democrats were in power, with the Republicans behind him, but when the government changed to a Republican administration, he still did this, and there is no other reason to explain it except that he had too much to drink.
From this point of view, McCarthy should not be a big man of the establishment, within the Republican Party should be regarded as a more grass-roots figure, so the consulate to give a very mediocre evaluation.
Even Britain, the progenitor of modern intelligence, cannot predict the future and does not know the meaning of the times, it is this oftentimes drunken drunkard who will make the United States a chicken and dog, but this is not necessarily a bad thing for Britain.
As for the foreign policy of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, the U.S. Democratic Party has always shown an aggressive face, from the nineteenth century’s notorious westward movement, the U.S. Democratic Party has always used war to solve problems as a means.
The Republican Party, on the other hand, was enlightened, advocating isolationism, and of course there was London’s dissatisfaction with the opposition to the Marshall Plan, believing that the European countries were perfectly capable of weathering the storm on their own.
The Democrats’ supporters were white Southerners, Midwestern ranchers, the former the descendants of the Confederate States of America.
The latter are rednecks, and Republican supporters are in the Great Lakes, and the developed economic belt of the East Coast.
This is just the opposite of what the world would think of the two parties decades later, when in the 1960s there would be a switch in positions between Republicans and Democrats because of the Affirmative Action issue.
A party like the Democrats, which now guaranteed white rights and interfered in foreign affairs, would run wildly step by step toward the route of the Black Lives Matter aristocracy. And the Republican Party, which at this time is the enlightened and liberal self-proclaimed party of the United States, will gradually turn into the kind of latter-day appearance.
“Now that I think about it, isn’t it 1948? The famous incident where the regular public bet on the wrong thing.” Alan Wilson counted the time, this year happens to be an election year ah.
The partisan position in an election year only serves as a reference because both have to do whatever it takes to win. The Republicans could also show their anti-Soviet face and accuse the Democrats of being soft on the Soviet Union. Even if the Republicans have been against, the Democrats’ Marshall Plan support for Europe.
If the Republicans win this election, they can stop the Marshall Plan altogether after the change of administration. And because Roosevelt was reelected as president many times, it seems that public opinion in the United States now favors the Republican Party to come to power.
This kind of public opinion favor eventually let Chang Gong also fell into the pit, take Truman’s aid to support Dewey. This hand with American money to do American things, obviously did not operate well, it is estimated that is not personally micro-manipulation, if it is personally micro-manipulation, it should be more humiliating talent right.
Put away the other U.S. Senators’ information, only left McCarthy’s own information. Now in the short term he is going to work in North America on the premise that he can in due course and this a few years later the man of the moment to recognize the acquaintance.
In fact, McCarthyism can be completely in advance, wait until the results of this election, if it is still the re-election of Truman can start, if Truman succeeded in re-election, the Republican Party will surely hang their heads for a while, after all, from the momentum to the polls Dewey are ahead of the lead a lot of people, once defeated, for the Republican Party that has been in the wilderness for two decades, surely in the heart of the heart is not a good place to be.
That time is the time to express the special relationship between Britain and the United States, of course, now the priority, or to busy themselves, feel empty in the belly of Alan Wilson, while packing up information, while shouting toward the stairs, “Vivian, hungry.”
“Ouch!” Seeing Vivienne hearing the summons, she got up to go to the kitchen, Hedy Lamarr and Joan Crawford had a look of teasing, “Our Vivienne, what a good wife and mother.”
“Don’t think too much of it guys, Ellen is young and officially growing up.” Vivienne explained lustfully.
Little? Joan Crawford’s eyelids fluttered, not agreeing with Vivien Leigh’s statement, it was clearly a very satisfactory size.
Hedy Lamarr, and Joan Crawford were unsurprisingly left behind, and Alan Wilson asked about how the year had gone and if there was anything he needed help with.
“But then again, with the whole world in ruins, America’s got the strongest wind right now.” Alan Wilson ate a chicken leg, Vivienne’s cooking was very much underwhelming.
“It’s no better than you, you’ve only been Governor for such a short time.” Hedy Lamarr tilted her face and said with a smirk, “It’s an honor for us little actresses that the Governor General has the honor to dine with us actresses.”
“Since when are you guys considered small actors in Hollywood?” Alan Wilson laughed, then sighed, “Newfoundland’s situation is very bad, not necessarily independent at any time, I go to be the Governor General this time, in fact, in the eyes of London is just a transitional candidate, to be the Boston Consul in London to see it is more important a bit. How is that place!”
The most famous event that Boston can be linked to the British Empire is the Boston Tea Dumping Incident, this time the incident was not only triggered by the British monopoly of the tea market, with a variety of reasons, but no matter what the reason is, anyway, this is a landmark event, Britain is still the antagonist.
“Alan are you thinking of the Boston tea dumping incident?” Joan Crawford caught the subtle expression on Allen Wilson’s face and mentioned that one historical event, America’s patriotic education was on point, even she knew the iconic event of America’s independence, and stifled a laugh, “If you had been the governor in those days, we would have been enemies.”
“No, because the United States does not even exist, talk about enemies.” Alan Wilson said very dryly, “As a rare Orientalist talent in the Empire, I’ve always admired the treatment of rebels among Eastern cultures, and Britain, because of its tradition of the bourgeoisie fighting with the king for hundreds of years, is not even as good as France in such matters.”
“Don’t worry about it, it’s just a hypothetical question, and I’m only answering it hypothetically. Isn’t America very prosperous now.”
After Allen Wilson answered, he began to change the topic again, about the issue of Hedy Lamarr’s divorce. Allen Wilson didn’t think that it was related to himself, but now it was related to himself.
Under the pretext of being busy with official business, Allen Wilson said he would go to the consulate to stay for a few days, and then he touched Hedy Lamarr’s address, and personally came to the door to comfort the young woman’s heart.
“You’re crazy not to be afraid that Vivian will know.” Hedy Lamarr snuggled into the man’s arms, not forgetting to count Allen Wilson’s colorfulness, “You’re not afraid of losing the national treasure of the British Empire.”
“I can’t stand losing you either.” Alan Wilson shamelessly showed his own all wanting mentality, complimented “In saying that you also refused not resolute, otherwise I won’t get away with it.”
“Should have just called the police to arrest you.” Hedy Lamarr glared at Alan Wilson, angrily rebuking the other party’s behavior of getting the advantage but also selling the good, “Let you properly disgrace yourself, the governor has not yet taken office to be replaced.”
“I’m a diplomat, I have diplomatic immunity.” Alan Wilson gloated, he’d gotten it anyway, Hedy Lamarr could say whatever she wanted, it wouldn’t take a piece of meat off the bone to be told twice.
It’s not like it’s morally indefensible, Allen Wilson is an unmarried man, and Hedy Lamarr is single, so what’s wrong with the two of them being in love?
“If it wasn’t for you, could I go talk to the French about the common market for movies?” Allen Wilson brought back what he had just said to Vivien Leigh when he arrived in the United States and said it again in front of Hedy Lamarr. Prepare to say it again when you go to Ingrid Bergman in a couple days, the trick is not afraid of old, good to use.
For the time being, this set of rhetoric is still very useful, Alan Wilson colorfully linked the negotiation and sell out national interests, said that this movie common market negotiation, in fact, Britain is at a disadvantage, because France’s film industry is stronger than Britain.
Alan Wilson stated that he had put up with the status quo of Britain losing out to a certain extent for the sake of Hedy Lamarr, Vivien Leigh when she first arrived in L.A., Ingrid Bergman in two days, and so on, and reached an agreement on a common market hair for European films.
“Really?” Hedy Lamarr asked, looking carefully at Alan Wilson’s face with burning eyes.
“Of course!” Facing a Hedy Lamarr who was called a vase and was undoubtedly the worst actress in the group of girlfriends, Ellen Wilson was gentlemanly and honest, “In fact, after I returned to China, the Whitehall arranged for two jobs, one was to face the European affairs of the agency as the undersecretary to push forward the implementation of the Marshall Plan, and tens of billions of dollars would be passing through my hands. But I came to North America without hesitation.”
About staying in Europe at the top too much, far from coming to North America to free this matter, Hedy Lamarr is not suitable to know at the moment, she just need to know, Alan Wilson not to mention a hundred million dollars, tens of billions of dollars in his eyes are not as important as these actresses, that tens of billions of dollars and not his.
The work in North America, for Alan Wilson can be said to be a tight time task, take the Swedish car, Alan Wilson has always believed that the headlights and chassis and other hardware, the advantages of the Swedish car, cushioning performance is very good.
Car owner Ingrid Bergman agrees, saying that the British gentleman on the door is right, the Governor of Newfoundland, who has just arrived in the Americas, can be very busy, and has given too much for the British Empire.
“The common market is going to be established, I want to go back to Europe to develop, it is best to be able to balance the European and North American markets.” Draped in a bathrobe, Ingrid Bergman, directly made it to Allen Wilson’s side, indicating that she had always had the idea of going back.
“I strongly support it!” Allen Wilson expressed his millionth approval and started to want to move his hands again.
“Don’t move, I just looked in the mirror when I was taking a shower and I have handprints.” Ingrid Bergman opened her bathrobe and pointed at her chest, “Look, how obvious is it?”
To this Alan Wilson said that it was entirely because the Swedish car was so good that he couldn’t drive it at all without holding on to it a little tighter.
