Chapter 503 – Invitation to Cannes

“It’s the alcohol test my friend!” Alan Wilson was equally cheerful, “I can’t put into words about Joseph’s current state, except to say that I wish you many more opportunities to benefit society.”

“Of course, I have prepared well for that.” McCarthy’s appetite was whetted, currently he was the toast of the Republican Party, arguably even the most out there, and both Taft and Dewey looked at him differently than they had a year ago.

McCarthy, of course, was willing to share with his friend when he was in the mood, and it must be admitted that McCarthy received a lot of useful advice from Allen Wilson.

In response, Allen Wilson said that gold always shines, and today’s situation is even more important for both sides to work together to maintain world peace and not be threatened by the evil forces led by the Soviet Union.

Reagan quietly accompanied the end of the seat, looking at the hobby of alcohol two rude men, talking about what the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the heart can not help but some contempt, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young poor ……

Reagan may be forgetting, Alan Wilson is much younger than him, Mo Deer Youth Poor is not established here.

Dusk was approaching, and a faint twilight color enveloped Valley Boulevard. In the summer, California evenings were invigorating.

Fei Wenli dragged the inconvenient body, tiptoeing for the hungover man to wipe his face, she actually do not quite understand the pursuit of this man, in fact, the two hobbies are far from each other, she is merely interested in Alan Wilson, as for the man’s mouth of the international situation is excited, but is just pretending.

One hand brushed against her abdomen, feeling the man’s face seem to stretch a little, the Great British Treasure couldn’t help but sigh, “Why must you get yourself drunk?”

“Because it will give McCarthy a sense of accomplishment! You think that’s easy?” Alan Wilson’s eyes snapped open, full of amusement at the little tactic of cutting a woman’s care, “Darling, the way you just wiped your face couldn’t keep a man from moving.”

“You scared me!” Alan Wilson spoke violently, causing Vivien Leigh to jump, then covered her abdomen and laughed bitterly, “I’m not done with you if you scare my baby.”

“That’s my child too!” Alan Wilson had an apologetic face and pressed against the woman’s bulging abdomen, “With McCarthy’s help, I think that in at most a year, the United States Film Corporation will fall into your hands, so in terms of material things, I’m slightly relieved.”

“It’s not that I don’t actually like money, but I’m content now, and it’s nice to be able to see you more often.” Feeling the life in her belly, Fei Wen Li had a motherly glow on her face, “I know you’re not at ease, that’s why you place a high value on material things, in fact, I don’t want too much, compared to you, material things aren’t important.”

“Don’t make excuses to excuse me, Vivian, men value money sometimes not on the money itself, but because the thing that measures value in this world is money, what I want to grasp in my hands is this security.” Alan Wilson no longer had a trace of drunkenness in his eyes, “I’ll do anything for that goal, I don’t give a damn about the fate of anyone else.”

McCarthy and Reagan currently just wanted Chaplin to leave the United States and never come back, and they would be content to give the American conservative community a piece of their mind.

But Alan Wilson thought that was not enough, the two Americans just wanted Chaplin to get out, he, the Englishman confronted with the attitude of this compatriot who was great enough to be called a great man, was simple, he wanted Chaplin to die.

Of course this had to be after the shares of the United States Film Corporation had arrived, as for the more secure way, of course, is the best way to ostensibly molded into an accidental death, but on closer inspection there is a suspicion of the best way to die.

Candidates were readily available, and there were plenty of candidates in Northern Rhodesia suitable for this sort of thing. If it had been the Alan Wilson of old, then he would not have waited a day, even if the operation had been a year later, and would now have found an opportunity to make a trip to Northern Rhodesia to make the advance preparations first.

But McCarthy that time drunkenly spit out the truth, let Allen Wilson grow a mind, being in the United States has advantages and disadvantages, the advantages and disadvantages of the contrast is not in one aspect.

He messed around with any kind of male-female relationship, and even if the U.S. intelligence services knew about it, they wouldn’t take it seriously. Because he is not a stakeholder.

But if he got a very socially prominent public figure killed, even if he eventually succeeded in hiding it from the public. It would also become a figure of concern for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so he couldn’t just go ahead and arrange this matter right away, he had to find a suitable time.

First do not contact Northern Rhodesia, but can contact with old friends contact, such as working in the South African Embassy McLean.

Cambridge Five is ultimately from the origin to the excellent conditions of academic excellence of the talents, although previously by Alan Wilson, from the Cabinet Secretary to come, one brought to Ceylon and one brought to Burma, the two good internationalist warriors, turned into a colonial official.

But gold always shines, the two still returned to familiar jobs, one went to Australia, one went to South Africa, McLean worked in the South African Embassy.

South Africa in fact has long been in a de facto independent state, McLean’s work is in fact very simple, is the general diplomatic work. But also because of the strength of South Africa in Africa cranes, but also is considered to be the focus of the Foreign Ministry’s work in Africa.

This was an error of judgment on Allen Wilson’s part, as McLean’s callback stated among other things that the South African government had just introduced a system in the last few days of ruling whites and blacks separately.

“Learn from the apartheid system in the United States!” Alan Wilson looked at the telegram and understood at once that the ruling party in South Africa had enacted the apartheid system that would be set on fire by the whole world in the coming decades.

In fact, from last year South Africa has already begun the relevant system, except that the most iconic system of apartheid is definitely interracial marriage and love, and the official promulgation mentioned in McLean’s telegram refers to this.

“South Africa will surely be blamed all over the world for this set of institutions, if the British colonies are still in place, there may still be a certain degree of protection for South Africa, once the colonies of the European countries have become independent one after another, South Africa will only become more and more isolated in Africa.” Alan Wilson sent a telegram inquiring, “I don’t know, I wonder what the situation is in Northern Rhodesia? What do the local white settlers think?”

“Don’t know much yet, I’ll liaise with the local commissioner if Alan wants to know.” McLean replied in the middle of the telegram, “As you said, South Africa is pretty much out of options, it’s the only one they have available to them in order to maintain the rule of the descendants of the European immigrants.”

“There is another, partition, only it depends on whether those in power in South Africa can spare it. The partition I refer to is not to take out a small piece of land to fool the international community, but to give up at least half of the land, explicitly to give the international community an explanation, in fact, even if this is the case, the European immigrants also take advantage of the white people is only one fifth of the population of the whole of South Africa, and the more backward the ethnic group the higher the fertility, the more you delay this problem the more it can not be solved.”

By telegram, two men, one in Los Angeles and one in Johannesburg, had a discussion around apartheid in South Africa; partition was in fact long since not such a novelty, having been adopted first by Britain and then by the Netherlands, in British India and the Dutch East Indies respectively.

If South Africa’s ruling party really has the courage to break its back, it should not organize those pocket states that no one can fool. Just carve out half the territory for independence, which may seem like a huge loss, but it’s still an advantage.

Alan Wilson knows that Maclean is the Cambridge Five, but it is not impossible to discuss the issue of South Africa, after all, the two communities certainly can not live in harmony, talk about the partition is also to solve the problem.

Of course, Allen Wilson still in the telegram, said there is something to ask, I hope that McLean notify the colonial government of Northern Rhodesia, so that Mihajlovic sent people to the United States and his contact.

In Paris, Ingrid Bergman and Hedy Lamarr were running Woodpecker Pictures with unprecedented vigor. For the two who have traveled across the ocean, hearing that France is hosting an international film festival this year, both of them have prepared grand gowns and are ready to appear on the red carpet at the Cannes International Film Festival.

Just then, the status wait for the men used for their husbands’ telegram arrived, and the two Woodpecker Pictures signs, face to face, looked at the contents of the telegram.

“What does Alan mean?” Hedy Lamarr inquired, cocking her head.

“She wants us in Paris and wants this festival to send out invitations to Chaplin.” Ingrid Bergman sighed softly, “But that’s not a bad thing, is it, the French side is much more relaxed than North America.”

Both men were actually aware of the accusations that Chaplin faced in the United States quite clearly, the bashing of Chaplin had been going on for two years now.

“But inviting Chaplin would be a huge boost to this festival, and there’s no reason for the French not to agree.” Hedy Lamarr turned to the benefits, and Ingrid Bergman agreed with that, nodding frequently.

The two walked hand in hand out of the headquarters of Woodpecker Pictures, ready to communicate with the organizers of this film festival. In fact, the two were also going to invite a group of friends in the United States to come to France to participate in this event.

After all, this kind of opportunity is not much, Cannes International Film Festival in the post-war although re-organized, but because of France’s financial problems, in the last year has been suspended, this year it is hard to start preparations.

After communicating with people from the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Education and the Film Federation, several departments that also wanted to expand the influence of the Cannes International Film Festival jointly issued an invitation to Chaplin, along with inviting some of the two men’s friends, with Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, and Pauline Gaudet also among them.

Soon invitations from France were arriving in droves for the invitees, and why Alan Wilson knew about it was because Vivien Leigh had received an invitation as well, but the Great British Treasure was in such a state that it was obvious that she would not be able to make the trip.

“I think if you appear on the red carpet in Cannes, it will be more sensational than the movie festival itself.” Holding Fei Wenli’s invitation, Alan Wilson teased as he looked at Great British Treasure’s bulging stomach.
