Chapter 506 Supreme Authority
“I hope our friendship won’t fade with time, Joseph, you must remember my words.” Alan Wilson took the initiative to raise his glass, “In the eyes of government officials, politicians come and go, and the only thing that lasts forever is eternity. The situation is slightly different in the United States and the United Kingdom, the pros and cons are mixed, I guess.”
“I nearly forgot, you are a highly regarded British official.” McCarthy smiled slightly and said, “Indeed, it is true that in a general sense, we, the elected members of Parliament, are less stable than you.”
“May our friendship be as long-lasting as the special friendship between Britain and America.” Raising his glass directly to drink the liquid in the glass in one go, Alan Wilson said “Whether you, Joseph, fly into the sky in the future, or return to silence, you are my friend.”
“Don’t say it so sadly, I hope everything works out for us all.” McCarthy’s brain was gradually being taken over by the alcohol and getting more sentimental, he was one of those rare politicians who was very real and said some very touching things.
“I’d rather hope you’re a little more cunning, that won’t do.” Alan Wilson had a sigh on his face.
McCarthy repeatedly assured him that he had definitely taken the words of his oblivious friend to heart before the two men sort of ended the conversation.
In fact, Allen Wilson did not know, after returning to London what work arrangements, the top boss did not reveal the mouth.
For the Boston consulate, the current consul should be the most unprofessional a consul, after arriving at the consulate did not even stay a few days, even the consulate staff do not know where the consul.
Even the staff of the Los Angeles consulate saw the consul more often than the people of the Boston consulate.
The version circulating in the Boston consulate about Allen Wilson’s current return is that because of a chronic lack of attitude on the job, the hopeful, who had been favored, may be about to have a bad day on the road to progress.
Even so, Allen Wilson did not come back, is waiting outside the hospital room Allen Wilson, one after another smoking, do not know how long, a doctor with a mask that only reveals the eyes came out, meaningfully expressing congratulations, “Mother and child are safe!”
“Thank you!” To the doctor’s eyes, Allen Wilson accepts it as it is, but also coincidentally, as if the last time Jia Bao came over to give birth is also the other side, how such a large hospital is a doctor it.
“Sir is simply enviable!” As a doctor specializing in serving mega-rich families, he couldn’t act unprofessional.
Allen Wilson nodded his head deeply, took out some bills and stuffed them into the other’s hands, and opened his mouth, “Can I go in?”
“Of course!” The doctor’s face behind his mask changed slightly, and his tone of voice became much softer.
No matter what, Allen Wilson still dragged until Fei Wenli gave birth, after entering the hospital room, the Great British Treasure had a tired face, but revealed a smile after Allen Wilson came in, “Allen!”
Borrowing the hand that reached over, Allen Wilson was a bit overwhelmed, whispered, “It’s hard to describe the mood now, but it’s right that it’s very accomplished, I’ve always thought that I’m relatively indifferent to my feelings except for my interest in being an official, I was wrong.”
After saying his words, Alan Wilson lowered his head and kissed on Fei Wenli’s red lips, “I don’t know what to say except thank you.”
“There’s no need to say anything, I’m proud!” Vivien Leigh’s gaze was full of heat, “This has delayed your trip. It is I who am sorry for that.”
“I feel like a devil in front of an elf like you.” Alan Wilson’s face was ashamed, “At this moment I feel like I don’t even fear death.”
“You don’t even fear death, so it’s all the more important to live well.” Vivien Lei’s pair of soulful eyes stared at the man, “I don’t know about politics, but everything can’t go well in life, I think it’s the same in politics, just try your best to get by.”
“Trying your best may not be enough!” Alan Wilson said with a bad smile, “I’m a person who doesn’t have any big ideals anyway, I just want the country I’m in to develop better, in which the people I love have to live better. As for what counts as good, it doesn’t count as good now anyway.”
“I’ll go back to Europe when I’ve recovered!” Vivienne turned to happy talk, “I’ll settle in Paris too, you said the air in London was bad, especially for young children.”
“Paris is unquestionably the pleasant garden city when it comes to Europe. Though the citizens of London may be a little disconcerted, it is so.” Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, “Do you need me to try to go back and identify a property for you?”
Such things as farewells were superficial works, just like Greta Garbo, after hearing that Alan Wilson was going back to his country, the hand holding the glass of water didn’t even move a bit, and glanced with the rest of her eyes with her head lowered, meaning was there anything else?
“Just pretend I didn’t say it!” Alan Wilson laughed bitterly and loaded clothes inside the suitcase.
“It’s all washed, so check it carefully, don’t stuff in any lady’s stuff that you can’t explain when the time comes.” Greta Garbo leaned against the doorframe, explaining in a tone that had nothing to do with me, “Just don’t bother sending it to you.”
“It’s not really an excessive request for anyone else, but I know it’s sort of more excessive for you.” Organizing his suitcase, Alan Wilson walked to the door to say goodbye, “I’ll see you sometime.”
At the New York pier, Allen Wilson and McCarthy said their goodbyes, pleasant times are always so short, it seems that God doesn’t even want the United States of America to reap the benefits of the Crouching Dragon and the Cockatoo at the same time.
“Come to America on your vacation, I’ll show you around, you don’t know how big America is.” McCarthy grabbed Allen Wilson’s shoulder and expressed his reluctance.
“That’s a shame.” Allen Wilson sighed with an expressionless face, how come all these countries have this tone of voice, the Indians love to say the same thing, and China also loves to say the same thing.
Before saying goodbye and McCarthy had a parting hug, patting each other on the back, Allen Wilson turned to board the ship.
“Greta, what are you doing here?” Katharine Hepburn had keen eyes and instantly recognized her contemporary foe with her face obscured.
“Out and about once in a while!” Greta Garbo glanced at Katherine Hepburn in the driver’s seat, as well as Vivien Leigh in the back again, “What a coincidence, America is so big that I was able to run into each other just in time.”
Is it a coincidence? Katharine Hepburn scrutinized the Queen of Silent Movies, who was usually barely heard from, trying to see something in the other woman’s face.
The corners of Greta Garbo’s mouth quirked up and her gaze held a hint of provocation, see anything at all?
The rather boring journey of sailing on the surface, as well as time-wasting considerations, combined with the never-quite-calm sea conditions of the North Atlantic, eventually caused Alan Wilson to call for air support to pick himself up from Comet One upon his arrival in St. John’s.
There is a gentle country on the side of the big can dawdle, but he will never choose to waste time on catching up, before boarding the plane from the Newfoundland airport, in addition to carrying the blessing of the Newfoundland parliament, his pocket also carries the current period of the Commonwealth Lottery, I do not know the accumulation of 10,000 pounds of jackpot has no place for his own.
If you don’t say that technology is the first productive force, with the Comet One, Alan Wilson had arrived in London four hours later, and when he got off the plane, he also discussed with Captain Hunter about a few of the latest improvements to the airliner.
Hunter was full of praise for the piloting experience after the changes had been made, and also mentioned that Imperial Airways had placed an order to start a Comet airliner route connecting the major colonies.
“That’s a good thing.” Alan Wilson walked out of the airport and took a taxi directly to Whitehall, although he was nominally waiting for the handover, but actually accompanying the Great British Treasure in production, which led to some delay, but with the help of the Comet I, there was no talk of wasting much time.
After being questioned by MI6 and the Foreign Office, Alan Wilson mentioned his experience of working in the United States, and it did indeed seem that he was out of his depth, and that he had patronized McCarthy to make friends with him.
Asked by Sir Ismay what McCarthy was like as a person, Alan Wilson was silent for a moment and said, “From a personal point of view, Joseph was a good and enthusiastic man, very much like the native first time to become a Member of Parliament elected to do what he thought was a good thing, and with great enthusiasm.”
In another position, such an assessment would be a clear distinction between right and wrong, and even Sir Ismay frowned a little, “This man’s rhetoric is so extreme that according to him, even the Prime Minister is a Soviet spy.”
“Sir Ismay, I was only mentioning his usefulness to the United States, I don’t see anything wrong with this McCarthy man.” Alan Wilson added, “I am definitely on neutral ground and not mixed with personal bias.”
My honey and his arsenic, is it still a mistake for the Americans to clean out Soviet agents within their government?
Leaving the Foreign Ministry building, Alan Wilson went to the Cabinet Secretary’s office, anyway, are in a neighborhood not far apart.
“Allen, long time no see!” The moment he pushed the door to enter, Norman Brooke did not surprise at all to open his mouth, pointing to the chair across the desk for Allen Wilson to sit down, “The work experience of the Newfoundland Administrator and the Boston Consul proved your ability to do the job, and your colleagues have all seen this in their eyes.”
“It’s all I should do, Honorable Sir.” Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly, which was definitely not a wimp, but a bow to the supreme authority, “Every time I feel the glory of the Empire, I am filled with energy.”
“Very good!” Norman Brooke nodded approvingly and asked borderline, “What do you think the current world event is?”
“I think we should also be conducting research on nuclear bombs, but it’s still definitely bad news that the Soviet Union beat us to it.” Alan Wilson sighed, “Whether or not the Soviet Union will take military adventures after a successful nuclear bomb explosion is something to be wary of, and now that the United States and the Soviet Union both have nukes, Britain is in a very awkward position.”
“Awkward, indeed, is an accurate word.” Norman Brooke extended his index finger in recognition of the word.
