Chapter 497: The Stars are on McCarthy’s Side
“We shouldn’t be able to believe whatever people say!” Wick repeated the Consul’s words with a solemn face, as if savoring the meaning.
“Of course it’s not easy to do that!” Alan Wilson finished talking about ideals and then began to talk about reality, “At its root, it is a struggle between one type of people and another type of people, and that is the essence of it, and the two factions begin to deny, discredit, and frame each other completely when the struggle is so intense that they start to do so, whether it is an internal struggle in the USSR, an internal struggle in the U.S., or the U.S. and the USSR struggling against each other, that is what the essence of it is. At the fundamental level, there is actually not much difference between the United States and the Soviet Union.”
“Not much difference?” Wick was really a bit shocked, his own top boss didn’t seem to be particularly anti-Soviet, “Honorable Consul, then why are we fighting against the Soviet Union.”
“Individuals have individual perspectives, from my perspective, my fiancée Pamela is an aristocrat. Of course I want to be on her side, that’s the reason.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, “For the British Empire, the Soviet Union’s pursuit of fairness was carried out in a way that dismantled the international environment that was favorable to Britain, we have colonized so many countries, if all those colonies were equal to us, wouldn’t they retaliate against us one day?”
Wick does not speak obviously in the middle of thinking, Alan Wilson is interested in listening to his good friend McCarthy’s tall tales.
In fact, from the point of view of the United States, what is wrong with opposing everything the Soviet Union? McCarthy also belongs to stand on the wind of the times, Rebus did not say, standing on the wind a pig can take off.
Not to mention the fact that there were indeed a lot of spy networks running within the US, even more extensive than in the UK. Not to mention just carrying out a certain degree of persecution, standing on the national perspective of the United States, even if all of the suspects are hanging streetlights, it is also reasonable.
Essentially Allen Wilson’s mind is that human life is a worthless thing, and he will not feel sympathy for any stranger, no matter what ethnicity or beliefs the person is, it doesn’t matter, the key is to make sure he lives a good life.
“Right here in the Federal State Department, there are spies influencing our foreign policy, their presence is proof of the pervasive nature of the Soviets, and the United States is at its most dangerous. And everyone can notice, right here in Hollywood, the widespread pro-Soviet atmosphere that is subtly influencing the citizens of our United States, an ideological invasion, an invisible war.”
Turning off the radio, Alan Wilson didn’t even have to think about what McCarthy’s grandstanding would entail. What pleased him most was that McCarthy’s debut was aimed at Hollywood, a friend who really hadn’t been made in vain.
The Hollywood Ten case had a bit more impact, but it’s not as if there weren’t other areas where Soviet spies caused a stir in the post-war period, namely the still-unresolved Copeland espionage case.
Judy Copeland was born to a Jewish businessman in New York. Copeland was the toast of the school while attending the Barrison School of Social Relations. In World War II, the people of the Soviet Union put up a stubborn resistance in the face of the German invasion. The determination and courage shown by the Soviet people during the resistance was admired by Copeland.
Since then, she has had an extraordinary relationship with the Soviet Union. After graduation, Copeland entered the U.S. Department of Justice, where she worked diligently, asking for little else but her job.
Three years of work in the Department of Justice, Judy Copeland saw a large number of U.S. secrets, after a large number of investigation, the FBI caught this student age was developed by the Soviet Union as a spy government officials.
The Judy Copeland spy case went to trial last month and is now considered a hot topic among political news. In that sense, McCarthy’s timing was perfect.
Over the next few days, Alan Wilson, who had just returned to Boston, left the city on the pretext of gathering feedback on McCarthy’s remarks and went to listen to music with Greta Garbo.
As a hard-working imperial civil servant, Allen Wilson certainly did not forget his own job, incidentally submitted a report on McCarthy’s remarks, after all, according to the words of the U.S. Senator, Prime Minister Adderley have the suspicion of Soviet spies, Allen Wilson to do a carrier of information, truthful reporting is absolutely right.
At this time McCarthy has just swallowed the Tiger Miles, will not set off a wave of wind, but also close to the observation. But Allen Wilson believes that it is gold that shines, and becoming a windfall is definitely not a problem for his friend.
Greta Garbo, on the other hand, was busy, busily parachuting between the kitchen and the dining room. Frying potatoes, serving roast chicken, removing soup pots, serving sorbet cups. It was hard to get used to going back and forth between the room with the cold air conditioning unit and the kitchen with its gas flames and cooking smoke.
In the air-conditioned room, one’s mind is fresh and cool, and when one steps out, the hot, humid air is almost vomit-inducing and unpleasant. In the kitchen in front of a dedicated stove, the body sweating, to the living room, suddenly feel a chill all over the body, and make people can not stand.
American women love to talk, eat, and laugh. After I served the meat and dishes to be delivered. The moment I removed the empty dirty dishes and returned to the kitchen: their great stomach bags were tired of being filled. Perhaps they were chattering because they were overfed, as an aid to digestion? They didn’t need to speak too loudly, but it was as if loudness was their only purpose.
The topic is not always the same, their topics are constantly changing, talking about what is out of fashion, the skirt is getting shorter and shorter and so on. You have just heard a clue, and then suddenly turn to the cake how to do this topic. Halfway through the conversation, they talk about news from inside the Democratic and Republican parties, and they are in high spirits, talking about everything.
Fortunately Greta Garbo was still a Swede at heart and did not get into trouble with American women.
“Aren’t you being too hard on Americans?” Greta Garbo, who had finished her work, sat down opposite the man in her housecoat, “or is that the way Americans are generally regarded in Europe now.”
“The latter!” Alan Wilson spared no words, a kind of confirmation of the silent film queen’s words, then said, “Europe has been the undoubted center of the world for hundreds of years, not the center that other civilizations claim to be, it is the defeat of one civilization after another civilization created a sense of superiority, look at the United States of America natural heart is despised.”
“There are other civilizations that see it that way?” Greta Garbo looked surprised; the man loved key politics and was always talking about cold knowledge that no one else knew.
“How come there aren’t? Every civilization thinks they are unique, Indians, Arabs, Persians, Chinese, more or less.” Alan Wilson stuffed chicken nuggets inside his mouth and said vaguely, “Maybe all the blacks in Africa think so, what’s so strange about that. But thinking is thinking, reality is reality. When I worked in British India, I had nothing to shout about the great Indian culture, it was no big deal.”
“You did do that!” Greta Garbo guffawed and teased as she looked at the wolfing Allen Wilson and opened her mouth, “Actually, you’re not that far off from the Americans when it comes to this eating thing. It’s just the same as starving!”
Alan Wilson’s etiquette on eating was indeed not complimentary, completely using the style of solving the most problems in the shortest possible time on eating, appearing to eat while wolfing down his food, but was immediately full. It made the people next to me not feel involved at all.
Fortunately, the man was not averse to enjoying fruits and snacks after eating, otherwise it would have been quite overwhelming!
“Heidi has been wanting to make a movie, and I have an idea.” Experiencing the feeling of fullness in his belly, Alan Wilson then talked about the script, The Beautiful Legend of Sicily.
“And you write screenplays?” Greta Garbo was really surprised this time, although it was still relatively simple, she was able to feel that the story of the script in this man’s mouth had absolutely nothing to do with crude production.
“Would it? My dear, you are doubting me like this, no one knows more about movie scripts than I do.” Alan Wilson had a confident look on his face, “And Heidi’s image is suitable for this script.”
“You’re really nice to her!” Greta Garbo glanced at Alan Wilson, her tone a bit conspiratorial, “If it’s widely welcomed, won’t it be completely dead to you?”
“You can’t say that, I don’t have any ideals.” Alan Wilson smirked, “In fact, I’m nothing more than a humble social commons, holding the fruits of your bloom.”
“Except that every fruit has to be tasted, doesn’t it?” Greta Garbo looked at the man coldly, “Isn’t it fulfilling to say the humblest things and do the boldest things? Playing people off each other!”
If the reference had been to McCarthy, Allen Wilson would have nodded without hesitation, but Greta Garbo didn’t know about his machinations, so naturally he would never admit it.
“I’ve only ever had no resistance to beautiful things. I can’t be blamed for that!” Alan Wilson politely stated that he had merely made the mistake that all men make.
Since his big speech half a month ago, the McCarthy, who was himself a bumbling muckraking senator, and who was flirted with every time he appeared in the papers because he was drunk, had all of a sudden become the man of the hour in American politics.
Bold as well as very directional open fire, so that McCarthy instantly became the media’s favorite, McCarthy went wherever, the media focus followed to where, McCarthy did not see the good thing, over and over again, said that no one more than he loves the United States of America.
McCarthy caused public opinion not only did not disappear, but intensified, and finally was noticed by the Republican Party executives, this once bumbling, every day drunk McCarthy, at this time became the Republican Party bigwigs praised object, McCarthy became a representative of grass-roots senators, reflecting the ordinary citizens of the United States of America’s pristine patriotic feelings.
At the critical moment, the Republican Party to help McCarthy set up a persona for the people, and began to guide the party’s top traffic, to the Democratic Party, has been the Republican Party does not pay attention to McCarthy, all of a sudden enjoy the feeling of the stars.
