Chapter 783 – Two Rebels

The old boss has one more battle ahead of him, dragging his almost constantly diapered body to fulfill his dream of becoming Prime Minister.

Of course there were people in the Conservative Party who were unhappy, and particularly unhappy was Aidan, the Conservative Party’s number two.

At the age of twenty-six Aidan had been elected to the House of Commons, and in nineteen thirty-five had been the British Foreign Secretary, becoming a Conservative Party giant, Aidan was also known for his handsome appearance, much more popular than the aging Churchill.

In fact, Alan Wilson look, this is the world is not forty years Prince thing, twenty years ago Aidan has been the Conservative Party heavyweights, do the number two are so long, Churchill are eighty years old still occupies the position, Aidan has some dissatisfaction is also belong to the normal, we must know that the original history, Churchill over the addiction of the Prime Minister, have been the Prime Minister to let Aidan.

Even if it is to give up the position of prime minister, Aidan also did not express gratitude to Churchill, visible Churchill occupying the latrine not shit move, let Aidan how dissatisfied.

Now it seems that Aidan believes that Churchill re-election is unlikely to win, Churchill is already eighty years old, should give way to let him choose to be serious, only he Aidan can lead the Conservative Party out of the underestimation, reversing the situation of the two major defeats to the Labor Party.

Alan Wilson listened to his wife’s words, laughed softly, “One thing is true, Churchill in the Conservative Party is a very special existence, Churchill is an aristocrat, in the old Chamberlain era of the Conservative Party have actually been difficult to find the same way, Churchill from the origins of the temperament to the fun are closer to the nineteenth century Whig aristocrats, he is an orator, with the Victorian elegance of fun. Victorian elegance of fun, which makes him seem like a rarity among Tory politicians.”

“If Aidan wants to do it, it means the certainty should be great.” Pamela Mountbatten inquired at this point, “What do you think Whitehall means, my dear.”

“If it’s Churchill, Whitehall would love to host a Prime Minister so old he doesn’t even know he’s alive. But if Aidan comes out for election, well, the question will have to be reconsidered.”

Alan Wilson thought as he said, “No one wants to serve an overly strong Prime Minister, do they? And Aiden’s not old enough to say that he might interfere with the normal functioning of the country, Churchill would be a good fit in terms of Whitehall needing a mascot, and at his age, it shouldn’t be possible for him to look like he’s in wartime, contributing to the debt of the British Empire.”

Thinking about it, Alan Wilson gave his judgment that Churchill should not be old enough to get the country into trouble. Whitehall would certainly like such a Prime Minister, but Churchill was certainly not electable.

If Aidan succeeded in forcing the issue this time, the Conservative Party’s chances of winning would increase with it – after all, Aidan’s image was certainly much better than Churchill’s now – but whether he could beat the Labor Party was still unknown. Labor has been in power for nine years, or at least is considered to be serious about governing, and has made no major mistakes so far.

“Whose side will Whitehall be on?” Princess Margaret was spared half a dozen questions and asked directly to the point.

“The victor’s side!” Alan Wilson snorted and answered the princess’s question, “We’re just puppets on strings who listen to the ministers, how are we qualified to look favorably on anyone. No one has that power. Whitehall is also complicated internally, just as the Tories are now.”

By this time in history, Norman Brooke had managed to snatch the position of Chief Civilian Officer from the Treasury on the back of two Prime Ministers, Churchill and Aidan, and became the most powerful civil servant, ironically the man from whom he had stolen the title of Chief Civilian Officer was the second Cabinet Secretary, Edward Bridges.

Of course no one can deny that Norman Brooke, whose personal abilities were still superb and whose attitude was more forceful, held great authority in office and led to the consolidation of departmental positions. To be able to have a back and forth confrontation with ministers is what happened when he was in office.

Two things that exemplified his authority were Norman Brooke concealing Churchill’s health in his later years, much to the displeasure of the Tories and especially Aidan, and then later helping Aidan to wipe his ass by destroying private documents on the Suez Canal.

Both of these were heavenly things that Norman Brooke dared to do. Naturally, it was a testament to his powerful influence during his tenure.

The two changes that his wife had come back to inform Britain about were both very important, and Alan Wilson felt that the latter was a little more important. It was true that he had a distrust of the Conservative Party, a party that was always resting on its laurels to perform a free-fall movement.

Anyone knows that the Labour Party is unlikely to vote for the Soviet Union, but the Conservative Party is really likely to vote for the U.S. However, attaching importance to British Malaya is good news, indicating that the value of the current British Malaya has been recognized by London, or else it would not have found a way to strengthen the defense force of British Malaya.

To this end, Alan Wilson first do what he can, such as singing the praises of Malaya’s increased military strength, he at least just returned from South Vietnam, in the experience of posing as an expert on Southeast Asia is no problem.

And it would have been true, in a telegram to Whitehall, Alan Wilson stated that in the minds of many Vietnamese, Vietnam was the political, economic and cultural center of the French colonies during the French colonial period, and it was only natural that Vietnam should lead the three countries after the French withdrew.

This was true of both North and South Vietnam, and did not differ depending on whether they belonged to the free world or the Soviet bloc.

As for the situation in British Malaya, Allen Wilson made the cliché that while there were pitfalls, for the moment balancing the affairs of the two communities was considered the right course, and leaked that plans were secretly being made to destroy Malaya.

It wasn’t public, but it wasn’t a secret either, in fact as early as the day of his return, Alan Wilson had leaked the idea, through the information channels, although if anyone had asked him about it, it would have been absolutely nothing.

After dealing with Whitehall, Allen Wilson got in touch with Ms. Ingrid Bergman, the flagship of the French women’s movement, to ask about the film on how my Great Britain had used a backstabbing scheme to take out Beria, and when exactly it would be finished, it was almost time for a general election.

At the moment the Labor government needs an assist, and if that assist could emerge from France it would be a very powerful thing for the entire British electorate.

“It’s not like you can see it, this political movie is very boring and is now in production. It’s ready for release next month.” Ingrid Bergman’s callback seemed to be able to feel the blank stare of this Nordic goddess.

Allen Wilson could only endure humiliation for the sake of Britain, expressing his thoughts across 10,000 kilometers.

Aiden in London is not as dashing as the overseas commissioner, and what he has been doing lately is to make Churchill step aside.

In Aidan’s eyes, now Churchill has been a negative asset of the Conservative Party, with eighty years of age, in the appearance of the Conservative Party in Parliament, even the eloquence of the former eloquent, to the present also disappeared.

Whenever he appears in the House of Commons, all the MPs can see is that image of dementia.

In the course of the two previous defeats, the Conservative Party is also summarizing the experience of failure, such as the political base of the Labour Party in the war to grow.

The employment opportunities provided by the war allowed the trade unions and labor to grow in numbers. By the time of the post-war election, the Labour Party not only had 2.6 million members, but also had a political base of over 8 million members in trade unions and cooperative organizations.

Now Churchill’s peerage was all but a mistake and couldn’t do the Tories a bit of good.

Crucially, Aidan was so desperate to progress that twenty years ago he was Foreign Secretary, almost ten years after the end of the Second World War, and he was still being crushed by the old man who had been slow to leave.

Elections were held every five years, and this time, if he failed, he would normally have to wait until five years later. Aiden himself is no longer young, then together with Macmillan on this election to discuss, and finally the two reached a consensus, decided to find Churchill to talk.

Macmillan and Aiden were of a similar age, and at the age of twenty-nine Macmillan managed to win the constituency of Stockton-on-Tees and became a member of the House of Commons. In Parliament, he became a member of the YMCA, a group of idealistic young Tories.

Macmillan was a long-time backbencher because of his longstanding opposition to Chamberlain’s appeasement policies. The two men were close to Aidan in age, advocacy, and foreign experience.

The two men jointly arrived at Churchill’s home, decided to talk to the eighty-year-old party leader, in order to avoid the split of the Conservative Party, the fact is already obvious, the Conservative Party can be said to be an accident when they lose once, lose twice in a row in any case, there is no excuse.

Alan Wilson if here, surely a glance to recognize this counter-thief, Macmillan in the Suez Canal crisis appeared, is the first to advocate the invasion of the Conservative Party minister, but also the first to call for a peaceful solution to the minister, directly to the ruling Aidan Prime Minister loaded in.

Now two rebels, coming to the home of an old comrade, are ready to bully an eighty-year-old comrade. And this old comrade had come to the point where he did not know that he was a traitor to his own people.

It had been quite an afternoon for Churchill, and the loss to Airdrie in 1945 had been a blow to Churchill. But on this afternoon, he experienced an even more embarrassing situation than in 1945.

“To avoid a split in the Conservative Party, that is our common opinion. It’s clear what’s winning now. Voters are losing, and for the sake of the party’s image, Harold and I hope that you will voluntarily resign as leader of the Conservative Party as the best way to avoid a split.” Aiden looked at the frozen Churchill, in all fairness he didn’t want to do it but there was no way around it.

Macmillan also nodded, “The current Conservative Party gives the impression of being an old man’s party, this is what many of the party’s supporters think, Senator Churchill is eighty years old, he should give it some thought, and perfect himself at home, many people believe that the way to use influence correctly is not to remain as party leader.”
