Chapter 950: The Iron Fisted Shurik
Italy and France were in a similar but different situation, similar in that the Italian Communist Party was even stronger than the French, and Togliatti was even considered to be the leader of the party in Western Europe.
The differences are also well queried, Italy was after all a defeated country and the colonies had been stripped clean a long time ago. There was no groundswell to shake up the stability, and naturally there was no chance of transmitting the conflict to the mainland.
Italy in the Cold War period can be said to be left and right, for a period of time as the EEC triumvirate, almost kicked the United Kingdom to the fourth position in Europe, but Italian enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, really let go of the competition, it is impossible to be a multinational enterprise’s rivals, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the favorable external situation disappeared, Italy is the most direct victims of German expansion.
“If you reach out and pull a business, it will survive, but if you want to take it out, it’s not difficult.”
No capital can be completely divorced from the influence of the state, unless Alan Wilson can get his wife to take the industry out of the UK, but as long as there is still British blood in the Mountbatten Group, Alan Wilson has only one option, the UK must be put in the position of being a powerful country, at least enough to protect the interests of the Mountbatten Group.
The so-called transnational capital must also have some focus, once the United Kingdom can not, who says that the United States will not come to a hand of long arm jurisdiction, the Mountbatten Group’s industry to snatch away? In the face of state power, a separate multinational group is nothing, a bugbear.
Hepburn seems to be very fond of the historical and humanistic atmosphere of Rome, every year to live here for a period of time, Rome has many monuments, is a lot of movies picking up the scene, inviting people to like is also deserved.
But in the face of Alan Wilson’s request, and Elizabeth Taylor is considered to be one of the double pearl of today’s Britain, Hepburn or painfully agreed to go back to live in the country, “run to Italy also at the same time to see me, it’s really hard.”
Hepburn is also very happy that Alan Wilson appeared, she likes this man, from character to identity.
Alan Wilson also knows this, Hepburn in essence, in addition to a little bit of suffering as a child, in the thinking is definitely the thinking of the upper class, in his impression, Hepburn performs the role of the role is not too much of the bottom, this and Marilyn Monroe can be completely different.
“People who are in love go to their lover’s appointment, like a child returning from school; but when separated from their lover, they go to school generally full of chagrin.”
Hearing Alan Wilson’s words, Hepburn was a little amused, “Is that all your philosophy that you use?”
“If I hadn’t seen you, I would have sent Shakespeare back to campus a long time ago.” Reaching out and rubbing his hand against Hepburn’s cheek, Alan Wilson didn’t deny that he had to revisit Shakespeare’s writings every time he came to see Hepburn to prevent an unliterary side.
Hepburn couldn’t help but smile, and said mildly, “But I also admit that you have a gaze as dazzling as an eagle’s at times like these.”
“The main difference is to whom.” Alan Wilson replied sincerely, and if he had to say which of Shakespeare’s words he found to be the most sensible and could be of use in the service of England, then of course it was this one.
The devil often deliberately tells us the truth in order to trap us for the sake of it, gaining our trust in small things, and then we fall into his trap at important junctures.
This is a sentence he really read into, so in many cases, Alan Wilson has to show the face of honesty, and even for this reason, he can even go through the fire, this time he is convinced that to save France is to save the United Kingdom, so for the planning of this time without guilt, the price to pay is just the dust on the road to success.
France, after all, had much more room for maneuver than Britain, and the fundamental divide was only a Mediterranean Sea.
To put it mildly, it hurt his pride that he was a Brit having to think about strengthening France’s position; he wouldn’t necessarily have helped Britain if he had been a Frenchman.
In communicating with NATO officers in Italy, along with Italian Catholic Democrat politicians, a number of Italians expressed this, “The French are too greedy, always still wanting to maintain the influence of the first-rate power in the world, and it’s simply not possible.”
Alan Wilson was not convinced by this answer; it was not only France that wanted to maintain a first-rate world power.
Greed itself is also the driving force to move forward, just like the price of housing, many people can certainly live easily, as Hegang’s house prices in China can definitely not be said to be rare, as long as you put down the greed in your heart, do not rush to the first and second tier cities, you can still live an easy life.
Seen the prosperity of the big city, how can people accept to return to the small county? Have not seen okay, the key is to have seen, France is like this, it has done the world resounding power, the same, Britain is also like this.
But with the American officers around him watching, Allen Wilson could only clap his hands and say that the Italian was right.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after returning to Europe, he had a steep feeling that the invisible constraints on his body had gotten bigger. It was not at all the same level as when he was in the colonies.
Getting in a somewhat bad mood, even Hepburn’s young and delicate figure could not soothe this moody depression.
“Was it a bad communication?” Hepburn didn’t know what was wrong with this man, but she didn’t think it was her problem, he was clearly still looking at herself with a hot gaze.
“Oh, I’m feeling sentimental about how easy peace is.” As a mature bureaucrat, Alan Wilson had long ago been able to switch his thoughts without pause, “Whenever I think of the people of North Africa still under the fire of war, there’s always a little powerlessness in my heart.”
What kind of thoughts Hepburn would have had about her origins had long been mapped out by him, a veteran bureaucrat.
To put it bluntly, Hepburn was completely different from Marilyn Monroe, who really came from the bottom, and Monroe had really seen what the bottom was like. Hepburn had only seen it at a particular time in the war.
This kind of life with the bottom of the barrier, extremely easy to breed similar to the latter-day white left view.
Therefore, the conversation with Hepburn should start from this aspect, and talk about freedom and fraternity which are very vague and do not involve specific actions.
Sure enough the effect was very good, Hepburn held Alan Wilson head in his arms, let the hypocritical imperial bureaucrat directly floating, “I’m right, only an angel like Hepburn can neutralize my nasty soul.”
Relieved by the bulbous flower, Alan Wilson had to move on to Madrid and parted rather fondly.
“It seems as if you have more burdens on you now.” Hepburn had been completely fooled by Alan Wilson’s hypocrisy and thought her man was running around trying to get a peaceful solution.
“That’s for sure, when I was a colonial commissioner my power over there was unlimited.” Allen Wilson was a bit bereft when he said this, there were still too many scruples over here in Europe.
Which is like in the colonies, do whatever you want to do, completely one-handed, no one can stop, “I mean, can get rid of some extra interference, better benefit the society, Europe this side of the crowded mouth, want to do things have to constantly communicate.”
“Oh!” Hepburn pondered, but still brought her scarf and sunglasses, ready to go to the airport to see each other off.
Spain and Italy are still different, Franco’s government, although after the war was hostile for a period of time. And was made difficult by the former colony of Mexico, which wanted to follow the example of the United States to lead the world and take out Spain to lead the Hispanic world.
But the toughest time is finally over, Spain and the peak of the Spanish empire can not be compared, but is still considered a colonial empire, since it is a colonial country, look at the current mess in France, and Italy, a defeated country that lost all its colonies, completely different.
In fact, not only Spain, France’s neighboring countries that still have colonies, are doing ostrich not to take a position. Even Britain did not take a stand officially, but public opinion was very concerned about the French mess.
Moscow, Soviet Union, the Kremlin facade, a Volga sedan slowly stopped, a stayed back head looks not angry from the authority of the middle-aged man walked down, straight toward the Kremlin, passed by, along the way, the guards have to wear civilian clothes to the man salute.
The man was obviously familiar with the Kremlin, and in a short time had appeared outside Khrushchev’s office and pushed his way in.
“Shurik, you’re here.” Khrushchev, who was discussing with his colleagues, immediately put on a smile when he saw Sherepine come, to Sherepine, a cadre who was a few young ones in the top echelons of the Soviet Union, he was very optimistic about him, no matter whether it was from the ability or from the character, all of them were.
“First Secretary.” Xie Leping spoke politely, “I don’t know what is the matter that called me here?”
“It’s like this, the Chairman of the KGB, Senior General Serov, has a message to share.” Khrushchev was clearly excited, he made no secret of his gloating over the mess in the rival camp, he was such a genuine person that he wouldn’t hypocritically express any concern.
“Senior General Serov.” Shelepin greeted the leader of the Soviet Union’s first branch of power in a friendly manner, then waited for the information to be shared, information naturally because of the heavy burden of the Algerian war, which had led to the emergence of street politics in France due to the sharpness of its contradictions in its entirety.
As well as the sources of information that could not be delved into, expressed the concern of Britain and the United States about the direction of the situation in France, and is already secretly in Western Europe, mapping out the true thinking of the countries.
“Last year’s capitalist economic crisis, it seems that the United States has been greatly affected, the degree of loss of Western European countries are different, Germany quickly adjusted, Britain was not affected at all, France because of the suppression of the war in Algeria, itself has a huge financial pressure, the situation is the most serious, has only just announced the devaluation of the franc.”
After listening to this, Cherepin joined in the discussion and then said, “We should push the situation forward. When you think about it, there is nothing to lose.”
Sherepine was the first to state his position, and his decisiveness deeply shocked even Grand Admiral Serov, who was the chairman of the KGB.
