Chapter 717 – The Dragon Cavalry is Free

Sir Ismay’s face was filled with amazement, and it was a long time before he slowly nodded and muttered to himself, “Something really big may have happened then.”

The two men were speechless in all directions, and a needle fell in the office as they contemplated the series of repercussions of this matter.

But immediately and uncharacteristically, they changed the subject, it was simply useless, what could Britain do to the Soviet Union? Nothing can be done.

Alan Wilson in fact thought very simple, nothing more than the question of whether Beria is dead or not.

According to the official sources in the latter days, Beria was still interrogated for several months and finally sentenced to death.

But many sources indicate that Beria was attacked suddenly and killed quickly, if not instantly. Because no one knows what happened to Beria after his arrest, even his own files were deliberately destroyed by the Soviet Union.

“This is sort of a classic case of the gutter, isn’t it?” Walking out of the Foreign Ministry building, Alan Wilson was still thinking about this big event that originated from another country and had nothing to do with him.

In fact, from the momentum of the past few months, Beria’s power among the triumvirate is the greatest, re-merging the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the commander of the Moscow Military District is also the general he promoted, he is also second only to Malinkov’s number two person in the government.

It could be argued that Beria could, if he set his mind to it, sideline the others in a coup that would not be widespread.

With the support of the Moscow Military District and the complete Ministry of Internal Affairs, it wasn’t even a matter of being able to do it, it was a matter of having a fairly good chance of success, or at least a better chance of winning than a group of people studying against him.

The Soviet Union, a country whose leadership could not guarantee its own security, and that Beria, as a longtime Commissar General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, would think that he could exclude his competitors in a softer way, should be too arrogant to think that no one would dare to deal with him.

Beria should have experienced many times in his life, high-powered leaders who could not guarantee their own safety at the mercy of others. But he never thought he would end up facing such a scene.

After all this, there is no point in focusing on this matter, just wait for the Soviet Union to officially announce the news.

There is this effort, why not think about the Great British Treasure and Her Royal Highness’s problem, think of Vivien Lei will be departing for the United States, from the urgency, or the former is now more need for him.

Return to London this time, is Fei Wenli rare days of fulfillment, the smile on the face has not faded.

“Who is more hopeful this time?” Alan Wilson, his eyes not leaving Vivien Leigh, who was trying on new underwear, looked for a topic of conversation with the tone of I know a lot about movies, as to whether or not I really do, it doesn’t matter.

“There’s a lot of buzz about Shirley Booth this term.” Vivienne was pleased with herself in the mirror.

“Never heard of it? Never heard you mention it either!” Alan Wilson mused with a puzzled look on his face, he knew all of Vivien Leigh’s well-connected female friends, and was certain that there was no such person.

“How could you possibly know, she’s technically an actress from the same era as Gish. It’s almost sixty.” Vivienne turned and moved to sit down on the edge of the bed in style, “It’s up to Heidi to get over the hump on this one, and the call for Legends of Sicilian Beauty is high, so hopefully she’ll win.”

“It’s a good chance when you look at it that way!” Alan Wilson was always a little interested in acting awards when he heard that. Hedy Lamarr had never been recognized with a major award, and it would certainly be great if she could fulfill her dream this time.

“Wouldn’t you love for Hedy to win an award?” Vivien Leigh snapped, looking straight at the man in front of her.

“From a friend’s point of view, of course I would be happy for her to win the award.” Alan Wilson borderline began to explain, trying to make it as irrelevant as possible.

“Are friends good enough to have children?” Vivien Leigh sighed quietly, “It would be nice if you weren’t so promiscuous as a person. Don’t explain, I accept the reality. I’m already aging!”

If Vivien Leigh hadn’t been married and wasn’t a little older than Alan Wilson’s age, she would have wanted a statement. It wasn’t something that could be wiped out with a little help in life or career, but when she thought about her own age?

“Which is true, you’re in much better shape than you used to be since you started exercising diligently.” Alan Wilson reached out and pulled Kokubo into his arms and whispered, “Isn’t it true that after quitting smoking combined with regular exercise, both your body and spirit are much better. You just trust that I’m right.”

In recent years, Fei Wenli has become a major trend in the U.S. acting world, in addition to the promotion of the United States as the boss of the movie industry, and the operation of the circle of friends of the same period of female stars, also helped a lot.

Alan Wilson these days suddenly curious about the movie, of course, because of Belial, he wanted United American Pictures and Woodpecker Pictures, to help himself to make a horse’s ass movie, centered on Belial’s death, make a meal of human blood buns, of course, to the Prime Minister of the Elderly.

Who made the UK’s prime ministerial elections once every five years, and if they start filming now, they’ll be released next year, and the UK will be having another election soon.

For Alan Wilson, leaning towards the Labor Party is simply a matter of having no choice, and the seventeen years between the post-war period and nineteen-sixty-two are extremely important to Britain. Historically, the Labor Party had only been in power for five years, and the Conservatives had been in power for the rest of the time.

The British Empire performed a free-fall movement all over the world, and it is very doubtful that this responsibility was attributed to the Labor Party, which was only in power for five years.

The iconic Suez Canal and the Nassau Agreement all happened under the Conservatives, and it turned out to be a Labour misadventure.

Now even from the point of view of policy continuity, he hopes that the Labor Party can accumulate enough time in power. Otherwise a five-year change is still not a good option for an empire in decline.

Rationally, Alan Wilson knows that an empire in decline tends to only decline faster the more it folds. Heavy medication for a serious illness tends to send the patient to the West.

If decline was inevitable, then a less tossable Labor Party would be a better choice than the Tories, who supposedly defended the interests of the empire but always did things that made Britain avalanche.

He hopes that the Labor Party will be in power for a long time, and in his heart, he also understands one thing, that is, each trick can only be used once absolutely can not be repeated, the last time has made Britain continue to be great, this time it is necessary to change the field to help.

This a movie related to politics, he can provide some inside information, but also need a big company to help.

Didn’t the USSR say that Beria’s attitude towards Germany was the crime of its imperialist agents. Then make the Berlin Crisis, plus Prime Minister Eidley’s trip to Moscow as one of the segments, suggesting that after careful thought to maximize the benefits for the free world, the end result led to Beria’s death.

This kind of movie in the United States of America’s United States Film and France’s Woodpecker Pictures, more than the British film and television companies easier, and will not be subject to the relevant restrictions, in a sense, Ai Zhongtang can only choose to curve the way.

In order to worry about the British Empire Allen Wilson, can only personally physically, bleeding and sweating to serve Vivien Lei.

Very fulfilling Fei Wenli simply blossomed, said before leaving, she must come back immediately, will not let Allen Wilson’s overseas work feel lonely.

July 10, 1953, the Moscow newspapers published a bombshell: a few days ago, the Soviet Communist Party held a central, plenary session, decided to remove Beria from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Committee, and expelled from the party. On the same day Beria was dismissed from his posts as First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and Minister of the Interior.

This stone-cold news, announced by the Soviet Union itself, confirmed earlier Foreign Office speculation about Beria’s sudden disappearance. Being in Whitehall, this was of course a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the professionalism of civil servants.

Alan Wilson, who was accompanying the King of Egypt under house arrest, was called directly to Seventy Whitehall, where Norman Brooke enquired about the day’s discussions with Ismay, and, with a mental note in his mind, went to Prime Minister Alderley to report.

The news of Beria’s purge was surely the most highly discussed event in the free world at the moment, but in Bonn, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, in the midst of the Heilmann family estate, the discussion was no less heated than it had been among the dignitaries.

“The Commissar General has been arrested?” Anna was horrified at the news and spoke Russian, which she hadn’t spoken in years.

As very highly regarded spies, the two had a single line of communication with Lubyanka once a month at the beginning of the month, it was Lubyanka who contacted the two sisters first, and the two sisters would find a way to send the information back, and this month there was no contact.

Bokina and Anna were still very puzzled, the contact between the two sides had always been very punctual, this was the first accident in years, and now that the news of Beria’s arrest had come through, the two sisters realized what the problem was.

“Yes, how unexpected.” Bokina would also be out of her mind for a long time, the fact that someone had managed to capture Belial unnoticed simply challenged the two’s common sense.

No wonder the contact was broken this time, perhaps Lubyanka is also very chaotic right now. It couldn’t care about the two sisters at all!

“Should we contact the country now?” Bokina was also at a loss for words for a while.

“Contact?” Anna blushed at that and switched her language to German again, “Why contact? We are respectable people in Germany, with a privileged life and children of our own. Last time I objected, you were selling out our man, the father of our children, when you reported the information about the Berlin crisis. Do you really think he doesn’t know, why he doesn’t come to Bonn anymore?”

“What are you trying to say?” Bokina looked at her sister with unfamiliar eyes, she too conflicted now to respond to Anna’s accusations.

“I don’t want to be a spy anymore. No one can prove we are spies if we can’t be in contact because of the confusion in the Ministry of the Interior.” Anna had a feeling in her mind and said it bluntly, “I have a strong feeling that our spying career is over and we are going to be free.”

“You’re thinking too simply.” Bokina shook her head slightly, “It is a bright future though.”
