Chapter 499: The International Situation

“I think I can already see the serious injuries you’ll be facing for some time to come, alcoholism, bad manners, bribery, whatever.”

McCarthy had a drinking problem of his own, which in Alan Wilson’s case went straight to the pro-Soviets as a serious injury.

McCarthy, with his glass in hand, agreed so deeply with this that he couldn’t resist clinking a glass with Allen Wilson, and since he had indeed been reported by a section of the press to be taking bribes before firing his shot, it was a good way to pin all these problems on the pro-Soviets’ rumor-mongering.

“Alan, if it were you, what would you do about the enemies that are hidden within.” McCarthy, under open arms, also inquired without concealment about the approach.

“Inside inside and inside, the fortresses are attacked from the inside, if we can find a Hollywood inside our people, this matter is very good.” Alan Wilson shook the wine glass in his hand and gave a degree of appropriate advice.

“Good, I’ll have to meet with Reagan sometime.” McCarthy nodded thoughtfully, “That’s a little more certain.”

“Can’t be too optimistic, someone like Chaplin is so well known that you always have to be careful.” Alan Wilson, who had already admired Chaplin as a pro-Soviet element as soon as he opened his mouth, thought for a moment and said, “We’d better find evidence from Chaplin’s movies about dissatisfaction with the free world, as well as subliminally portraying a positive image of the Soviet Union. Otherwise, I don’t recommend acting against them… Difficult, difficult ……”

Can’t you find a reason? For example, Chaplin’s recently released movie, Mr. Verdoux, is very un-American, the main plot is: in 1930, Henry Verdoux, a bank clerk before the world economic crisis, in order to get out of the dilemma of using many false names and marrying some rich women, and then kill them one by one, fourteen women in turn to become his victims, the conspiracy is revealed, he was arrested, and ultimately sentenced to death He was arrested and eventually sentenced to death.

During the depression, the bank failed and he was fired. With a crippled wife and a young child to support, Mr. Verdoux fails in his attempts to make a living and finally takes the plunge and kills for money. Mr. Verdoux has been doing this cold, hard business with a straight face ever since.

If it were in that Soviet-controlled world, Allen Wilson felt that terror, and the promotion of violent prohibition would be very appropriate.

But in the United States it could be done with more appropriate charges, such as subversion of the state? Unlike the former, the American version of the excuse would require jail time!

What is jail time actually? Alan Wilson, if he was objective and neutral, he really didn’t want a master of comedy like Chaplin to go to jail if possible; after all, the kernel of comedy was tragedy, and he only had a very reasonable desire to have Chaplin die, a desire that wasn’t excessive at all.

“See you sometime!” After the wine and dinner, the two hooked up and left the hotel, and McCarthy said through his drink, “Actually, our ambitions are so the same, except that you are a little more outstanding in peach blossom luck.”

“Huh?” Alan Wilson gave McCarthy a suspicious look and let out a laugh, “It’s okay!”

“Just don’t hide it, you and Vivian are both British, America doesn’t pay attention to these things. You’re my friend, just say directly if you need help anywhere.” McCarthy flashed a smile that all men understand.

Recently windy McCarthy met a friend, in the United States can be said to have supreme authority, everyone knows that he is in, but everyone treats him as if he does not exist, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Hoover.

Compared to Hoover, the newly formed Central Intelligence Agency was nothing more than a child who had just learned to walk, and could not be compared at all. Supported by the esteemed Director Hoover, McCarthy’s confidence was more than sufficient, and the accusations were no longer made in a haphazard manner, but had plenty of backbone.

It was from Hoover that he had learned that his friend was already living in secret with Gone With the Wind’s leading lady and living a life without shame.

Allen Wilson piled on a smile and nodded at McCarthy, his back already seeing sweat as he turned around.

“I can’t believe I’m being watched!” From what came out of McCarthy’s mouth, Alan Wilson knew at once that his trajectory in the United States was also under surveillance, and even Vivien Leigh’s pregnancy was known.

While it was by no means something to be taken seriously from a national perspective, he didn’t like the feeling.

As for which department it was, considering the division of authority, it would be the FBI that sat in charge of domestic work in the United States. The director was a Hoover who had been a Hoover until his death.

Now he had to be thankful that he had met with McCarthy again, after all, it was better to know than to be ignorant.

From the east coast of the United States arrived in the west coast of the United States, in order to run for his life Alan Wilson, but also can only go out of their way to help Vivien Lei to do something because of the physical inconvenience, not good to step forward.

In the Barbie company headquarters, to a group of very familiar company shareholders, listening to the quarterly report of Allen Wilson, in a crowd of pussy in the middle of the group, seems so cranky, originally, he felt that the rice seems to be getting softer and softer lately.

“Well, Heidi and Ingrid are not here, the honorable lady door to the quarterly report there is anything you do not understand.” Alan Wilson cleared his throat and opened his mouth to inquire about the group of stumbling blocks on the road to success in front of him, “I’ll take the ladies’ comments and go back to Ms. Vivien Leigh.”

“When a group of people are around, it’s Ms. Vivienne, and on private occasions it’s Vivienne.” Joan Crawford held her head high and said conspiratorially, “Greta isn’t there either, you didn’t even mention it.”

“Joan, don’t say that. Is it because you haven’t been able to nail the little actor you’ve been eyeing lately, so you’re a little more angry?” Alan Wilson said in a gentle tone, “We are all friends, what ideas you have can be said out, we help you come up with ideas.”

“I don’t have any ideas, Hollywood is getting harder and harder to mix year by year, and I have to thank Vivian for being able to help us have our own career.” Joan Crawford made the group of actresses empathize with the fact that acting is getting tougher and tougher for everyone.

Lana Turner, Joan Bennett and others also nodded their heads, and Lana Turner asked how Ingrid Bergman and Hedy Lamarr, who had returned to Europe, were doing.

“They’re fine!” Alan Wilson cautiously nodded his head, these few in front of him were a few actresses of American nationality, so he must be more cautious when speaking, from McCarthy, he already understood that this was after all American territory.

He was still more trusting of non-American actors and actresses, but there was one exception, and he happened to have something to ask for as well, specifically leaving Katharine Hepburn behind to discuss it.

“What is it you want to clear with me? You don’t think that I would be as easy to fool as Vivian, do you?” Katherine Hepburn’s face was wary, she always felt that most of the actresses who came here were a bit overly familiar with this man in front of her.

“Katherine, it’s like this, I have a friend who very much wants to step into acting. If I can get your guidance, the road ahead will definitely be much better.” The friend Alan Wilson was talking about, who else could it be but Audrey Hepburn, who was now coming to the Honorable First of Hollywood for help for the sake of Ball Flowers.

“Is there a picture?” Katherine Hepburn had nothing special to say, and spoke directly.

“There is!” Alan Wilson took out his wallet, if there was a Sun Run reporter at this time, it would be another good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, but unfortunately there was none!

Catherine Hepburn just face to face looking at this man from inside the wallet to take out the photo, take over and examine for a moment, a good half a day said, “She is very beautiful, it is very important to you right, otherwise a woman’s photo won’t let a man carry with him.”

“Ms. Catherine, can I not answer that question?” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, “Some things are very complicated, individuals have their own difficulties. Just asking for a favor.”

Having a favor to ask, Allen Wilson also maintained the posture of having a favor to ask, he himself had let someone whore himself out for nothing, what qualification was there to judge another man who wanted to whore himself out for nothing? It was simply outrageous!

“I know, if this girl ever arrives in America, I am certainly willing to help.” Katherine Hepburn nodded her head and then returned the photo to Alan Wilson, “See you sometime then.”

Allen Wilson, who came to the company meeting in place of Vivien Leigh, continued to choose to hibernate during this time, meanwhile, the collapse of the Cannon Party continued, and became a strong basis for McCarthy to jump up and down more and more. After all, China is not a small country, walking still need time it, not until the end of the year a moment can not collapse finished.

The Indian government’s military action against Hyderabad is also gradually clear up, 50,000 Indian troops and 100,000 Hyderabad private army launched a fierce battle, the current situation has been a stalemate.

Though when the time came, Maharaja Ali Khan still did not express his determination to fight to the bitter end. But after years of preparation, the private army, composed of pacifists, still had the power to fight.

In the face of the Indian army, Ali Khan said that he had no intention to establish an independent state, and at the same time, he united with other states to exert pressure on New Delhi, and through Portuguese Goa to obtain the support of external weapons, and was able to stabilize the situation.

The Portuguese army’s military maneuvers in Portuguese Goa also made it impossible for the Indian government to ignore the threat of foreign interference. The present situation in Hyderabad is one of negotiation while fighting.

“New Delhi’s level of organizing large-scale military operations has yet to see the light of day, and look at their neighbors to the north.” Alan Wilson put down the report on the international situation and commented in a nonchalant manner, “In the Kashmir war, India mobilized out 40,000 to 50,000 troops, and Hyderabad again, New Delhi’s current ability to control the country is still quite limited.”

“It’s been so long since you left your post and you’re still always focusing on what’s going on over there, is there anything new?” Vivienne gave the man a blank look and said.

“There is, Crown Prince Elizabeth and Prince Philip have started their return journey, and Admiral Mountbatten said that the Prince will go straight into service in the Mediterranean Fleet.” Alan Wilson spoke in a businesslike manner, “This doesn’t interest you either, does it?”
