Chapter 708 – New French Army Commander

In fact, Paris has been very lively lately because of the return of the leader of the French Communist Party, Maurice Dolezal, to Paris. His return has been greeted by the citizens of Paris with such enthusiasm that the traditional constituencies in favor of the French Communist Party have become a sea of red.

One aspect was due to the role played by the French and Italian Communists in the final understanding of the Berlin Crisis claimed by the Soviet Union. On the other hand it was because Maurice Dorès had been out of France for three years.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, Maurice Dollez went to Moscow in the name of medical treatment and has not returned to France until now, and if Alan Wilson is to judge, it must be that Maurice Dollez must have felt a threat to his life in those years, and that is why he stayed in Moscow permanently and did not return in the name of medical treatment.

What other illness would take so long to treat? And he was able to return just after Stalin had died of his illness? Could it be that the departure of the loving father took away at the same time the sickness in Maurice Dorelles.

Surely Maurice Dolores was not sick, and now that he had returned, it must have been because Moscow had decided that there was little danger of Maurice Dolores returning to France and sent him back.

But this had nothing to do with Alan Wilson, whose job now was to receive his colleagues who had retreated from Berlin, and it had been many years since he had moved places, and once upon a time the two men had crossed the sea together to work in Europe.

Aifor should not be a stranger to Paris, years ago in the streets of Paris, the two also together to rescue French women.

In this meeting, Aifor has matured a lot, and there are more vicissitudes in his eyes. Obviously the outbreak of the Berlin crisis had not worried him much as an official on the front lines of the Cold War.

As an old acquaintance, Alan Wilson of course had to show his appreciation, dragging his tired body out of Woodpecker Studios and accompanying Aifor around Paris, “Alan, you seem to be tired?”

“From always working overtime?” Alan Wilson forced himself together and said breathlessly, “It can’t be helped it’s all in the service of the Empire, it’s all nothing to talk about.”

In terms of the current wolf-like situation, it was hard for people to have the slightest respite. Ivor also nodded his head to recognize the words of Allen Wilson, only he thought of the situation in Berlin.

Allen Wilson thought is not, he thought of the beauty of the wolf like a tiger, disintegrate the will of the people, not to mention touch, is to think can not think ah.

Soon Aifor restored optimism, he has been working in Berlin for many years, just started to work with the heart of progress, but the time is long and not moving place, inevitably be struck by the positivity.

And now it was different, the Berlin crisis had caused citizens to flee and he had been transferred out of West Berlin, so if he could get into a NATO job and a change of scenery, he might be able to get his work ethic back. The only thing that might be less convenient is that it might be a little more difficult to shush all the beautiful ladies in Paris, unlike before in Berlin.

Hearing his colleague say this, Alan Wilson said that this can be assured, after all, Paris is the world’s well-known romantic capital. Ai Fuer as long as the performance of pounds can not help but fall out of the pocket of the temperament, everything is not a problem.

And France’s economy and the United Kingdom gap is still quite large, after all, France is now also burdened with the military costs of military operations in Vietnam, although the big head is the United States to carry out military aid. And this part of the military aid, in turn, through military orders partially flowed into the circulation of British Malaya.

The reason why British Malaya can develop quite well, has been in Vietnam, France certainly has a share of the credit, which no one can deny.

Even this year, Malaya can not be in the previous years of development on the basis of the first revenue of more than 100 million pounds, depending on whether France can make up its mind, in Vietnam to a big one.

Little does he know now that it is not just the French Communist Party that is celebrating in Paris at this time, but that the present French Government, is, as he thinks, preparing to come up with a big one, with an offensive to crush the Vietnamese resistance.

The wheels of history of the Dien Bien Phu campaign were already rumbling, and the French, who had made military means their first choice after the war, were not going to listen to any country, not even the United States, and even less so Britain.

By the time the MI5’s sent from London for questioning launched their interrogation of Ivor and the others, there was an extra person who startled Alan Wilson, Philby?

“What are you doing here?” Alan Wilson remembered that this Soviet spy was not from MI6?

“I might be transferring to work in the Fifth Branch soon.” Philby replied calmly, “MI5 shoulders the heavy responsibility of counter-espionage, and for that reason I have to accumulate experience to prevent mistakes in my future work.”

“Oh!” Alan Wilson froze and nodded his head, the British Empire was really good at choosing people? Finding a Soviet spy to enter MI5 counterintelligence? Then it mustn’t be infiltrated into a sieve in the future?

For a time Allen Wilson had a kind of worrying sigh, he had done so much for this country, but it seemed that there was not much progress.

Ivor returned this time and also had the help of Burgess, the ambassador to Germany, which was also a Soviet spy. Now another Soviet spy had come to make inquiries, and he now wondered if Eiffel, who had worked in Berlin for years, had gone rogue.

At this critical moment, as a patriotic British official, Alan Wilson should have reported these traitors lurking in the body of the Reich, but he had no proof! This sentence was very embarrassing!

Can only put the mood of reporting down, return to the woodpecker headquarters building alone sighing look.

But before parting, Alan Wilson remembered something, “Philby, do you know Ian Fleming?”

“Ah him, of course I know him. Maclean even worked with him, but his abilities are of no use in the Foreign Office.” Philby remembered the man at once, “Ian Fleming is the son of an MP, we were in different departments when he was in MI6, but because of his background he was still highly regarded, just a little less motivated.”

Ian Fleming used to work as an orderly in MI6, and as a spy in the Bureau of Security and Safety Adjustment during the Second World War, Fleming was not a frontline spy, he was mainly engaged in rear planning and preparation, Fleming was deeply appreciated by the Director, Admiral John Godfrey, and as Godfrey’s personal aide, he possessed great power beyond his position, and was in possession of more secrets than many of the senior officers of the three divisions of the Bureau. more secrets than many of the senior officers in the Bureau’s three divisions.

Philby knew Ian Fleming like the back of his hand, then asked rhetorically, “Alan, he seems to have been discharged a long time ago, what are you doing inquiring about this man.”

“Can you do me a favor?” Alan Wilson’s heart stirred, with the current level of popularity, Ian Fleming had no chance of getting Woodpecker Pictures into trouble over the copyright issue. He didn’t want his ladies, who were on equal footing with his wife, to be troubled, and it just so happened that Philby was here.

Philby stuck his hands in the air and thought for a moment and laughed, “No problem, not a problem for me. If and when he arrives in Paris, I’ll find an opportunity to meet with him and hint at the risk of leaks regarding the plot in the midst of it all. Let him feel that the film and television issue on the appearance of the market in the middle of the chances are not great, by then he bottomed out, your friend can talk.”

“I’m relieved to have your help.” Alan Wilson smiled and sighed, “Philby, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

“Don’t say that Alan, I’m our man. He’s left the civil service community, and even if we had previous contact, we’re not a kind of people now.” Philby replied with a smile, “We’re a united group, it’s only right that we help each other out.”

Alan Wilson immediately looked like a child who had gotten candy and made sure to flaunt it in front of the woman, using it to ask for a little God’s treatment.

“With Vivian out of the picture, he’s getting more and more over the top. Yesterday demanded that I ……” The next day when a certain imperial public servant was still languidly awake, two women were whispering.

“You did?” Ingrid Bergman reached up to cover her mouth and looked at an embarrassed Hedy Lamarr in shock, as if she couldn’t dare imagine a scene like that.

Paris, as the headquarters of NATO, was likewise the capital of France, and many years had passed since the tragic World War. Parisian citizens’ memories of the World War have become a little fuzzy, and there is not a trace of the war in downtown Paris.

But the past of having one’s throat instantly cut by Germany during the war has not disappeared from the minds of post-war governments from all walks of life. For this reason not even waiting for the situation in France to stabilize, the French army could not wait to return to Asia.

Now eight years have passed, the war in Southeast Asia has not yet stopped, but rather there is a tendency to intensify. This trend has worn down the last of the French patience.

In the French National Assembly, parliamentarians of different parties are having a heated discussion on the situation in Vietnam, with parliamentarians of different factions expressing their views.

“The matter is already obvious, it is necessary to completely crush the local armed forces with a large-scale attack, like the current constant delays, not only does it not contribute to the stability of the local area, but it is also depleting France’s national strength.”

As soon as the voice fell, immediately there were constant voices of approval resounding through the venue of the French National Assembly, “That’s right, Vietnam has nearly 200,000 troops, and the expenses are a huge drain. We absolutely cannot continue to delay.”

“Quiet, since the parliamentarians are already very united in their opinions, I am certainly in favor of it.” René Meyer, President of the French Council of Ministers, stood up and said, “A vote is now taken on military action in Vietnam ……”

The entire National Assembly raised their hands, and a few minutes later the overwhelming vote to increase military commitment to Vietnam had passed, and after the vote, a cheer went up throughout the National Assembly.

General Navarre was appointed by the government as the commander-in-chief of the French forces in Vietnam, and urged to make favorable improvements to the current war situation in Vietnam, the 200,000 French troops in Vietnam will be under the full command of General Navarre, the appointment was issued immediately.

Soon General Navarre received his transfer orders, and looking at the ever-present order in his hand, he accepted the appointment with a sigh.
