This is not an easy task. According to the information from the French Embassy, there are 204 male and female members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe coming to London this time. Alan Wilson's hands are sore.
Fortunately, the second half was all female members, so he managed to persevere. He could also appreciate the appearance of the female members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe up close. I can’t say that they are all stunning, but every female member of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe is tall and tall.
Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she is quite handsome.
The so-called tall wife standing in front of the door looks good even if she doesn't work! Just these walking clothes racks have already taken the spotlight before the song starts. Touching these soft bare hands, Alan Wilson stands at attention and must not embarrass the British Empire.
"You?" Alan Wilson stretched out his hand with a stiff smile and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him. Who is this, if not Fortseva?
"It's you again!" Fortseva looked straight at Ellen Wilson in front of her, and said in a businesslike tone, "I am now working in the Ministry of Culture, and this time I am traveling to London with the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe."
"I am temporarily working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this time I am responsible for receiving the visit of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe." Alan Wilson glanced at the long queue passing by. This huge delegation came to London, which was not already wealthy.
To make matters worse, "I will hand over the performance itinerary to you later. As for the hotel, we have already made arrangements. I don't know when you will give me the program list?"
"Work arrangements have their own procedures." Fortseva lightly opened her red lips and said with a pun, "It is completely handled in an open and transparent manner and in accordance with the rules."
Ha! As if seeing an alien, Alan Wilson left the airport and took a bus back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.
In front of George Middleton, Director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he vividly imitated the scene at the airport, "There are more than two hundred people here, so forget it. After all, with the friendly welcome of the current government, it is not a big deal.
But a Soviet person told me that it was open and transparent, wasn’t this a bit too much?”
"Openness and transparency are both good words separately, but when openness and transparency are put together, there is a problem in vocabulary composition. After the double affirmation, there is negation." After hearing this, George Middleton smiled and said, "We can make it public.
It can also be transparent, not to mention that we would have done so. Alan, you won't complain about this job, right?"
"Absolutely not." Alan Wilson's answer was decisive and unquestionable, "I am a true socialist like the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary."
"Oh?" George Middleton chuckled, his eyes full of "I believe you" look.
"Of course, life is a process of continuous learning, and no one can guarantee that the current idea is correct. If the environment changes, you may have different thinking." Alan Wilson showed a flexible bottom line.
"I believe that before the next election, you must be a true socialist." George Middleton answered in the affirmative. After all, the affairs officer has to implement the politicians' decisions.
Now that the Labor government expresses a moderating attitude towards the Soviet Union, then the diplomats in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are all true socialists. Once the Conservative Party comes back, they can also become true conservatives, agree and oppose, and veto themselves, which is their job.
part.
Civil servants are not politicians. If they don't show their faces, they naturally don't need to establish a personality. They won't end up in bad situations all the time.
"We must also deal with it carefully and not let the Soviets take advantage of it." George Middleton returned to the topic and said, "In terms of security work, we must also cooperate with other departments."
"I'm going to find Guy Liddell to see if there are any arrangements over there." Alan Wilson nodded, "If nothing else, there must be a lot of noise in the newspapers."
"There is no way around it. Citizens hope that the country's external attitude will be as tough as possible. But the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is exactly the opposite. It is full of compromises. I hope that the news from the Kra Isthmus can keep citizens happy for a while." George Middleton looked at it again.
Alan Wilson, who was about to get ready to go, said helplessly.
Guy Liddell is the deputy director-general of MI5 and is responsible for the security of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe's arrival in London. Due to different professions, Alan Wilson still has to consult with the other party on some points.
"Should the Soviets be closely monitored to ensure that they have no contact with ordinary British citizens?" Alan Wilson held a notebook and was about to record Guy Liddell's words.
"Alan, we are a democratic country." Guy Liddell pointed at the position of the notebook with his finger, motioning to stop, and said calmly, "We only need to take basic security measures. The current British Empire seems to have
There's nothing worth peeking at, we're on rationing just like the Soviet Union."
Putting away the notes without leaving a trace, Alan Wilson said relaxedly, "I believe everything is temporary. It is nothing more than passing on conflicting problems. This is similar to surgery, which is to turn our problems into the problems of the entire British Empire.
Then remove the diseased area. Although there may be some losses, for the sake of the overall situation, someone always has to sacrifice. Rather than letting local citizens sacrifice, it is better to sacrifice others."
"This is a matter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Or the Ministry of Indian Affairs. I have no right to interfere." Guy Liddell crossed his fingers and said, "It is a theater that needs to perform in the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, and it is enough to retain some basic strength.
There is no need for other aspects of work.”
"Is it that simple?" The corner of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched. No wonder Britain was infiltrated into a sieve. Not to mention the Soviet Union, the United States probably also knew everything about what was going on in London. "I thought some measures were needed, such as monitoring something.
Yes, many newspapers have various stories to promote the work of the Fifth Branch?"
"Usual work is very boring. The so-called legendary stories you mentioned are only seen in newspapers." Guy Liddell shrugged. "Citizens are attracted by these fictional stories, and there is nothing I can do about it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Understood, it’s like Ximen Chuixue said, “Can’t a hero be bald? A master doesn’t have to be handsome. This is just wishful thinking of you Shengdou citizens.
It’s just an idea.”
Fortunately, Alan Wilson still looked like he was facing a powerful enemy and went to Thames Tower to ask for advice on how to deal with it.
"Our main job is to prepare for non-governmental exchanges, such as the exchange list arranged by the government and the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. By the way, Alan, take a look, you are the representative of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe this time. If there is anything wrong
We can maintain communication with the Fifth Service." Guy Liddell took out a list of the British entertainers participating in the Soviet Red Flag Song and Dance Ensemble.
Alan Wilson took it and looked down at it, his eyes pausing for a moment on Vivien Leigh's name.
Vivien Leigh was already very famous in 1945, and was undoubtedly the representative of British female actors. Vivien's figure was not outstanding, she was average in stature, her head-to-body ratio was even more average, and she also had a pair of big hands, all of which made her
She herself was not very satisfied. There is a saying that she likes to wear gloves just to hide her big hands.
But all shortcomings are worthless in the face of appearance. Churchill once said that Vivien Leigh’s face is a masterpiece of God.
Before the war, Vivien Leigh asked her American agent, Myron Selznick, to recommend her to producers. Selznick watched Vivien Leigh's performances in "The Great British Smash" and "Oxford"
Her performance made her one of the important candidates.
In the end, Vivien Leigh won the role of Scarlett O'Hara over hundreds of actresses, including heavyweights such as Pauline Godard, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis.
character of.
In the movie Mrs. Hamilton, Vivien Leigh spread her influence to the United States and the Soviet Union.
With this list of exchanges in the entertainment industry, Alan Wilson left Thames Building and made an agreement with Guy Liddell to attend the concert of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe.
"It's also a rare opportunity. I will definitely go and see it when the time comes. I heard that this song and dance troupe is very popular in Paris." Guy Liddell nodded and agreed. Regarding this troupe coming to London from the Soviet Union, this mysterious country
He was also very curious about the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe.
It's not just people like Guy Liddell and Alan Wilson who are curious. Everyone from London's upper-class aristocrats to ordinary citizens are eagerly looking forward to the performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe.
In such an environment that required diligence and frugality after the war, scalpers appeared due to the arrival of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. It can be seen that even in difficult times, hardships must be shared.
Alan Wilson saw this in Vienna and Berlin. The vast majority of people were hungry and worked hard to get enough food, but there was a group of people whose quality of life remained the same at all times.
From a national level, the current situation in the UK is of course very difficult, but that does not mean that there is a shortage of wealthy people in the UK. Not only is there no shortage, there are many of them.
If there were a reasonable boss like Sir Barron in New Delhi at this time, Alan Wilson would have been prepared to take action to unite the Soviets to cut leeks with the boss's acquiescence.
What a pity! Alan Wilson expressed his regrets for Alexander Alexandrov, the leader of the song and dance troupe, and Fortseva. If he returns to New Delhi, he should really consider inviting the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe to visit British India.
Of course, this can only be done after London decides to let India become independent, or even after British India falls into chaos.
"Is Vivien Leigh on the list? When can we see him?" Fortseva looked at the entertainment list for communication, rarely showing excitement, and full of longing for the next trip.
