Chapter 463 – Reagan the Labor Thief
Although Alan Wilson was taking the time to talk to Hedy Lamarr and did not meet with Reagan, he knew that this third-rate actor should have been Hoover’s man by now.
According to the class point of view, Reagan’s role, similar to all the strikes and the capitalists to reach a compromise character, generally known as the public called the labor thief, but well, the Soviet Union is the enemy, Reagan this behavior can only be explained by patriotism.
Alan Wilson was still mindful of the traditional skills of the British Empire, which sought to maintain the balance of the world. This is not a mistake, continental balance is the national policy of the British Empire.
“Who’s pretty, me or Vivian?” Hedy Lamarr entertained, as Vivienne came over to cheat on the man because she was out running errands and asked the question solemnly, “People say that Vivienne is proud of looking similar to me.”
“People are different, and Vivienne has the benefit of being very affectionate.” Alan Wilson took a drag from his cigarette and commented objectively and neutrally, “Whenever she asks for something, I do everything possible to fulfill it. Of course, the same goes for you.”
“The movie industry is so hard right now, and the paychecks are dwindling, it wouldn’t have been a good year if it weren’t for Barbie.” Hedy Lamarr sighed, “Ingrid has been wanting to return to Europe and has tried to drag me back as well.”
“That’s a good thing, the European movie market has been talked out.” Alan Wilson spoke in agreement, “In a few years, the European movie market will recover, at least not second to the United States.”
To Ingrid Bergman’s idea of wanting to return to Europe, Allen Wilson did not mince words to express his appreciation, and at the same time was encouraging Hedy Lamarr to go back as well.
If the plan goes well, by the time McCarthy makes his big move in Hollywood, everything that happens in the United States will be widely publicized with the return of these actors to Europe. And just and TV promotion, Hollywood green and yellow environment in line, do not dare to say to take Hollywood’s life, but the establishment of Europe’s own movie industry division, absolutely can be expected.
This is definitely a good thing for Europe, otherwise Hollywood movies are always more than than chatter about the United States much better, there will always be people who will rise to the mind to emigrate, if immigration can be mitigated, the development of Europe is a good thing.
As for the reduction of immigration in Europe, the United States will not be black proportion increases faster, that is the Americans themselves, over his a British civil servant’s remit.
“I was a little hesitant, and hearing you say that seems like a good thing to try.” Hedy Lamarr made up her mind that if Europe recovered well, she would follow Ingrid Bergman back.
In the final analysis, it was still the money factor, if you made about the same amount of money and didn’t have to be always scrutinized by the U.S. government. Certainly a place with a more relaxed atmosphere is the way to go.
Came a goodbye kiss, Alan Wilson opened the journey of time management, before Vivien Lei returned, he has returned to the apartment, the great British treasure hard work, for which he made orthopedic craft, to help the national treasure to ease the fatigue.
“That Ronald guy really does seem to have an overriding passion for politics, a normally unsmiling individual.” Vivienne had an awestruck look on her face, recounting everything she had seen today.
“Oh, really? Vivian, when the Hollywood Ten case came up, did this president of the Screen Actors Guild make any statement?” Allen Wilson inquired in an aside while selling Vivienne to relieve her fatigue.
“He always seemed to be against censorship in Hollywood.” Vivien Leigh thought about Reagan’s several stances and said affirmatively, “Overall, his popularity is pretty good.”
“So it is!” Alan Wilson let out an exclamation, and had to say that Reagan had really chosen the right career as an actor. I didn’t realize that in nineteen forty-eight, he had already started a double-sided life, and to be able to be the president later on really wasn’t an idle one either.
“Did you movie actors receive, a kind of pamphlet, in terms of movie censorship?” Alan Wilson relieved the fatigue of the Great British Treasure by asking if such pamphlets had appeared.
“There was this kind of leaflet about not slandering corporations and not mythologizing ordinary people? Seems like there’s something else, I remember I kept a copy, you want to see it?” Vivienne asked suspiciously.
“Want to!” Alan Wilson’s face was full of interest, and banning myths about ordinary people? Then what is the American Dream? Isn’t that just killing people indiscriminately? Isn’t the American Dream just propaganda that one can realize one’s personal dreams through hard work, which is not considered a myth of the common man?
It is a great pity that Hemingway still has the Nobel Prize for Literature, or else forcing the death of a Nobel Prize-winning literary figure would surely cause a stir. Now it seems that the idea can only be pushed back.
For McCarthy, just past the U.S. election is a heavy blow to the Republican Party, as a Republican senator, he is as empathetic to the Republican Party’s big defeat jaw-dropping.
At this time, he received an invitation from Allen Wilson, also with a kind of distraction, accepted the invitation of his drinking buddies and came to the west coast of the United States.
Allen Wilson naturally could not afford the hospitality, even the golf course fees arranged with McCarthy. Are all Fei Wenli out of pocket, but of course this kind of private matters will not be divulged, the two friends to carry out some recreational activities, will not attract the attention of the Department of Justice.
After finishing the entertainment program during the day, Alan Wilson talked about finding a place to have a drink, and along with a chance encounter with Reagan himself, the trio returned to Vivien Leigh’s apartment, where, at this moment, the MI6 killer instinct kicked in, and the recording equipment at the Los Angeles consulate had been activated.
“Alan, I must admit that this defeat has been an unbearable result for us Republicans.” McCarthy, who was holding a glass of wine, grumbled, “You’re British, I’m having a hard time explaining it to you.”
“There’s no need for any explanation, McCarthy, we’re friends.” Alan Wilson, also holding a glass of wine and in the presence of future U.S. President Reagan, reassured the current senator, “I believe that the Republican philosophy is still very popular in a mature democracy, and that your cause has only suffered a minor setback.”
“It’s not that simple, Allen, it’s proof that the Roosevelt legacy of the Democratic Party has been embraced by the majority of Americans. It’s the reason our party thinks it lost the election.” McCarthy sighed, “For the first time in decades, we have the feeling that there is nothing we can do, that we have to find the Democrats’ weaknesses.”
“That’s something I, as a foreigner, shouldn’t reasonably hear, but perhaps finding an enemy is a good way to go.” Alan Wilson mused for a moment, hesitantly suggesting, “It’s easy to rally the people and ignore the problems that already exist in itself.”
Deflecting conflicts was a base maneuver of mature democracies, even more skillfully utilized than the military government. If the junta gambles and loses it faces the danger of the government being overthrown, not so in mature democracies, just issue a statement of regret.
Talking about America’s internal affairs with anyone else might cause trouble. But for someone like McCarthy, who says anything after a few drinks, this concern is negligible. People in a state of intoxication can be understood as mentally disabled.
McCarthy is now in the eyes of Alan Wilson is such a person, two drunks communicate with each other’s condition what is wrong? Just pity the poor accompanying Reagan, witnessed the two drunks pointing out, slowly Reagan’s eyes also lost.
“We have some problems in Britain that can no longer be solved, but the United States has not yet been affected, it is not too late to solve it.” Alan Wilson said with a long sigh, “In my opinion, the Soviet Union is rather less of a threat militarily, rather it is the ideological influence that is worrisome. And now Europe in general are subject to this kind of influence can not be solved, the United States now to solve these problems is not too late.”
Speaking of this Alan Wilson, suddenly stared at Reagan with drunken eyes, “Ronald Reagan, don’t you think so? Hollywood is already in the grip of pro-Soviet ideology, as well as academia, and many professors in American universities are secretly Soviet sympathizers, only very mildly so compared to Britain and the European countries.”
“Consul Allen, indeed.” The future President Reagan, now nothing more than the president of a small actors’ union, not to mention compared to a proper incumbent federal senator, Allen Wilson a foreign consul as casually as he could take.
Under Allen Wilson’s questioning, Reagan showed a different stance than in public.
In public, Reagan is the identity of the Actors Guild President, the political pressure to take rebuttal, in order to protect the interests of actors and actresses in the face of the protector of the face.
And now that the two bigwigs in front of him, as soon as they heard the conversation were clear anti-Soviet stance, Reagan didn’t hide his stance and made it clear in front of Alan Wilson and McCarthy, I’m our man ……
“Look, Reagan said it all.” Allen Wilson laughed with a drunken grin and charged McCarthy, “Joseph, even with Ronald in front of us, we can’t be sure, if he’s lying or not. Maybe he’s just a Soviet sympathizer who’s deceiving us two drunks, who can say for sure about such things.”
“Mr. Allen, I absolutely heartily resent the opinions of some of the actors, and I think they are to blame for being arrested and blacklisted, and of course on the surface I must make a gesture of solidarity as well. But I actually do think something should be done.” Reagan righteously stated, “Trumbo and the others were captured, and I’m certainly in favor of that in my heart, I just can’t say that the government is right.”
“Oh? Mr. Reagan, you’ve finally reassured me.” Alan Wilson hemmed and hawed, very satisfied with the labor thief Reagan’s stance, “It’s really America’s luck to have someone like you to manage the Actors’ Union, it’s just that if you want to find out the enemies hidden inside America, this is still not enough.”
