The current Commonwealth Summit is nothing more than the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the newly independent Nigeria, and India. When Alan Wilson was busy writing about the Anglo-American Summit, Nehru had already arrived in London.
Alan Wilson entered the Cabinet Secretary's Office and presented Norman Brooke with a plan for reorganizing Commonwealth institutions and increasing the cohesion of the Commonwealth.
The time is right now, especially when Nehru needs the support of the Commonwealth countries, and it should not be wasted.
Establish a secretariat responsible for mutual communication between the Commonwealth, organize consultation and cooperation between member states, exchange information, organize meetings, etc.
The Secretary-General is re-elected every five years and can be re-elected. Of course, all colleagues in Whitehall believe that no one is more suitable for the position of Secretary-General of the Commonwealth than Norman Brooke.
In the plan, there are also the Commonwealth Foundation and other organizations: The Commonwealth Foundation is reorganized into an international fund organization, with funds provided by member governments to promote closer cooperation between professionals and other non-governmental organizations within the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Institute is mainly funded by the British government and promotes people's understanding of the Commonwealth by organizing exhibitions, lectures, film screenings, open libraries and other activities.
In addition, there are some professional organizations, such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Commonwealth Press Union, the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council, the Commonwealth Sports Federation and the Commonwealth Arts Association.
"The bond of the Commonwealth is our noble Majesty the Queen. It has nothing to do with who this government is." Alan Wilson talked about it. This is what he thinks. Excluding the influence of annoying politicians is beneficial to the United Kingdom.
good thing.
Norman Brooke was very satisfied with his successor's thoughtful actions and expressed his appreciation, "Alan, you will definitely be a successful Cabinet Secretary-General."
"How dare I compare with the supreme authority? I'm just trying my best." Alan Wilson looked modest.
The main topic discussed at this Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting is, of course, that India has been beaten. Everyone knows that the basis for the emergence of the British Empire was India. Excluding the white dominions, India's status exceeds that of other colonies.
Of course, India's status has now been replaced. Malaya has become the original India, and far beyond.
At this moment, Malaya's steel production exceeds seven times that of India in 1962. It also exceeds that of the United Kingdom by 10 million tons.
In fact, no one understands better than Britain the role that steel production plays in the strength of a country.
Everyone knows that the world before World War I was the era of British rule, and Germany and the Americans were challengers. In terms of industrial indicators, the two countries successively surpassed the United Kingdom, but the United Kingdom actually did not care about Germany's surpassing.
Because Britain has a vast colony as its backing, it may not be easy to defeat Germany, but it will definitely not lose.
But in 1901, British public opinion discussed one thing for a long time, that is, Morgan acquired the Carnegie Steel Company and formed the United States Steel Company. Both Morgan's acquisition funds and the subsequent production capacity of the United States Steel Company were greatly reduced.
All walks of life in the UK were shocked.
This was the first time that Britain realized that the United States did not have the potential to surpass Britain, but had already taken action.
The development of American steel must benefit from the iron ore in the Great Lakes region, which is much higher than the iron ore in the UK.
Just like the iron ore in Australia now far exceeds the iron ore in the United States, high-quality iron ore will save additional costs. The Kuching Steel Base is built on this basis.
The annual production capacity of 35 million tons is not a complete market economy. Some of it also relies on the Imperial Preferential System. Because of the high-quality special ores provided by Australia, the Kuching Steel Base will allocate a certain share in response to Australia's needs.
, to supply Australia’s needs.
The booming development of Perth is attributable to the Kuching Steel Base. Kuching delivers five million tons of steel to Australia and New Zealand as support for the construction of the two countries. The report is that Australia and New Zealand must work together with the United Kingdom to ensure that Malaysia
Safety in Asia.
"Trying your best may be modest. Didn't you just firmly safeguard British interests in front of Dulles?" Norman Brooke said with a smile, "Of course I also agree that France's attitude is to balance the United States in Britain.
This aspect is effective. But what you say is too alarmist. The situation in Europe is not that dangerous."
"Yes, Sir Norman." Alan Wilson also believes that NATO is not at a disadvantage when facing the Warsaw Pact. Of course, the premise is that there is no fight. If it is just a confrontation, it is okay to say so.
As for a few decades later, it will be an advantageous situation. The real disadvantageous situation is in East Asia. Does the United States and East Asia have powerful players like Britain, France, Germany, and Italy? Not at all. Washington doesn’t think that Japan and South Korea are enough?
These two players are equivalent to the NATO confrontation line on the French border. The only allies the United States relies on are Britain and France. What is there to fight against? Europe has almost lost everything.
The countries attending this Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting are also very valuable. In addition to Australia, New Zealand and Canada, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. Needless to say, India is a big and famous country.
Regarding India's defeat this time, at the opening of the Prime Minister's Meeting, most public opinion expressed sympathy. Of course, in a society with free speech, gloating over misfortune is not uncommon. Nehru can be dissatisfied, but who cares?
Prime Minister Eden also expressed full courtesy to Nehru, but according to Alan Wilson, the reason was the news that India will spend 45% of next year's fiscal expenditure on military expenditure.
Calculated based on the fact that during the Cold War, fiscal expenditure accounted for one-fifth of the total economic output, India will have more than one billion pounds in military expenditure next year. This is as low an estimate as possible. If it is more optimistic, it may be two billion pounds.
the total amount.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A big cake is now placed in front of the United Kingdom. For the British military industry, which has only been wealthy for a few years, it is simply pie in the sky. Of course, Aiden is extremely
Attentive.
The courtesy that Nehru received was deserved. At the Commonwealth Prime Minister's Meeting, Nehru said that India had been deceived and burst into tears to maintain India's dignity.
The other prime ministers naturally expressed their understanding and were willing to provide all moral support, in addition to helping.
Since India is no longer a colony, India will naturally be responsible for its own security. It is okay to do business, but the price must be clearly marked and it must be done in accordance with the market economy.
Alan Wilson was squatting in front of the TV watching the news with a serious look on his face. He was receiving the news on the TV. This was somewhat unfit for the position of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but there was nothing he could do at this time. He was not the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
After receiving the Indian military delegation yesterday, he had nothing to do.
Even the Indian military representatives were mainly received by Marshal Mountbatten. He just listened to his father-in-law bragging. If he were here, he would definitely change a strategic transfer plan, and then look at the Indians and say
, "High, really high..."
This kind of drama between the emperor and the translator is very boring. The difference between Mountbatten and Emperor Mai is that he has a style similar to that of the five-star emperor. Emperor Mai has already overturned, but Mountbatten has not.
Anyway, Alan Wilson didn't know how mountain warfare was connected with the British and Indian Army's strategy of counterattacking Burma. But Mountbatten said that experience could be learned from previous battles, and the Indians kept nodding, so maybe they really have experience.
draw.
"My dear, it's time to eat." Vivien Leigh leaned at the door and called to her man.
There were four large plates of beef tenderloin, six large plates of braised chicken, stewed veal, three legs of lamb, among them a beautiful roasted suckling pig, surrounded by sausages and sorrel vegetables.
Long-necked and pot-bellied glass bottles with schnapps were placed at the four corners. The sweet cider in the narrow-necked bottles was foaming thickly around the corks; each glass was filled first, and then
There are several large plates of yellow cheese with Vivien Leigh's name written on them on a smooth layer. As long as the table moves slightly, the cheese will slosh.
The big cake in the middle of the table is piled into a castle, surrounded by exquisite fortresses of almonds, raisins, and orange cubes; finally, the top layer is a green fake grassland with fake stones, a lake made of jam, and hazelnuts.
There is a small boat made of shells, and a little Cupid can be seen playing on the swing. The swing frame is made of chocolate, and there are two real rosebuds on the top of the two pillars, which are the balls at the top of the cake.
"Happy birthday, Vivian." Alan Wilson took the initiative to raise a glass in greeting, and then nodded to another man present, "Eat more, your mother has prepared so many delicious foods."
"I will!" David watched the man and woman in front of him raising glasses with their eyes facing each other, wondering if he was a little redundant.
How can it be redundant, but in fact it is really not that important. Vivien Leigh, as the honorary president of the British-Indian Screen Actors Guild, was just promoted to the president of the Commonwealth Arts Society yesterday, and she is in a good mood.
The British treasure was always in great interest and asked Alan Wilson to go to a familiar place with abundant water and grass in the evening.
"David is already so old." Lying on Alan Wilson's body, with her hair falling on her chest, Vivien Leigh couldn't help but sigh, "I am raising donations from India, hoping to be able to help."
"You can do whatever you want. This is just a non-governmental exchange." Alan Wilson did not stop him. Indians are relatively easy to get along with from an individual level. It is another matter at the national level. The leader of the five permanent members of the oil pipeline is too protective of India.
They generally do not attack individuals, and their viciousness is far lower than that of Japan and South Korea.
Alan Wilson even believes that a few years ago, Indians really shouted, "China and India are as close as brothers!" They were not shouting casually.
Vivien Leigh can easily win the favor of Indians if she wants to help in the private sector.
