"But having said that, how are you preparing for your graduation thesis? I don't know much about Oriental College yet, and you also know that I am from Cambridge University!" Henry tilted his head and asked with an uncertain look, "Is that right?
Is it similar to a seminary? Or is it similar to our classical literature?”
"Oriental studies is a very broad concept, including but not limited to subjects of various other religions and civilizations in China, India, and Arabia. Most of the students among them study India and Arabia, and my subject is relatively scarce. I am from Far East China.
range, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t know about British India and Arabia.” Alan Wilson also put on a serious look and drank a glass of wine and said slowly.
"In fact, Slavic countries can be considered Eastern. Speaking of which, I would like to ask whether Russia or the Soviet Union are Europeans?"
Alan Wilson has wanted to ask this question for a long time. How do these countries in Western Europe view the Soviet Union? Is it considered Europe or not?
"This has stumped me!" Henry thought with a troubled face, "Of course the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. During the First World War, Imperial Russia was of course a part of the great Western civilization. The Franco-Russian alliance was on the ground
Attacking Germany from above took most of the pressure. Among the most widely circulated goddess propaganda posters, the goddess representing Imperial Russia was in the center. But now, the situation is different. The Soviet Union represents another force. Discussions within Whitehall
Among them, I think it is more appropriate to regard the Soviet Union as a civilization outside Europe!"
Just when Alan Wilson was about to nod to show that he understood, Henry added, "But there are also many objections. The Soviet Union is of course a part of Europe, but it just belongs to another part. In essence, the confrontation this time is still
In the internal struggle of the civilized world, the Soviet Union should not be regarded as Persia or Turkey, but the part of the world led by the Soviet Union included some backward ethnic groups."
"Can I understand that, depending on the situation, the former adopts a realist attitude, saying that if it is weak, it is not Europe, and if it is strong, it is Europe. The latter group believes that the Soviet Union is a part of Europe no matter what, but only a rebellious part?"
Alan Wilson said this, and Henry thought for a moment and nodded, "Actually, this summary is not wrong?"
"Okay!" Alan Wilson stopped there, deciding to end the broad topic of Schrödinger's Russia.
The distinction between cultural concepts is such a mess. It’s not like science has a clear answer, right is right or wrong is wrong. Cultural concepts largely depend on whose voice is louder.
Therefore, when the hard indicators are not up to standard, many countries like to emphasize the concept of culture. Even India in the 21st century claims to be a cultural power, saying that the religion it was born has influenced the world for thousands of years. Such nonsense.
In the final analysis, there is no universally recognized indicator to classify culture, and one can ignore objective laws and brag about oneself. From this perspective, Armenia is a cultural power, and Armenia is the first Christian country in the world.
But for the current Alan Wilson, this is an advantage, and it is easy to fish in troubled waters by using the brand of Orientalism.
Although they criticized the University of Oxford, some, a small group of lecturers did nothing, but if Alan Wilson was in the other party's position, he would probably choose to follow the process.
Finally, as the relationship between Alan Wilson and his colleagues in Whitehall was getting warmer, the Oriental College asked Alan Wilson to prepare a paper for his speech and bring it with him to give a graduation speech on November 3. This was because Alan Wilson was already at the university.
Reasons for working in Whitehall.
Although learning to valve is particularly annoying, it is just a process and not a big mistake.
On the contrary, because Alan Wilson already had working experience in Whitehall, Oriental College showed amazing flexibility in this matter and gave Alan Wilson a very good stage to play.
"I'm really sorry for Brzezinski. Your class jump may be a little more difficult because of my appearance." Alan Wilson took the prepared paper and apologized to Brzezinski who had not yet made his mark.
This extremely anti-Soviet keyboard warrior, oh! Geographical master, may need to study harder and improve his professionalism so that he can eat and drink in the United States, otherwise he may be in a difficult situation.
Alan Wilson was actually very suspicious of this so-called master. First of all, this man was born in Poland and belonged to a fairly high class in Poland. It was strange that he had a favorable impression of the Soviet Union's influence on Poland after the war.
With the idea of hating the Soviet Union, he constantly makes suggestions for the United States. Apart from being politically correct, there is nothing special about him.
The final collapse of the Soviet Union made Brzezinski successful. As far as he knew, almost 80% of Brzezinski's predictions for another country with the same system did not come true.
Why is it that when I switch to another country for analysis, my level is completely different from before? Is this master too Schrödinger?
In fact, what is more funny about him is that he proposed democratization and economic development together, which means that the prerequisite for economic development must be democratization. This is actually not surprising. In his time, this view was politically correct, but it was
A person who is called a master of strategy seems to be unworthy of the title of master of strategy.
He is nothing more than a convert who shows more loyalty in order to integrate into the United States.
Feeling the importance attached to him by the Oriental College, Alan Wilson was bound to reciprocate the favor and mobilized a group of Whitehall colleagues to give a speech at his graduation thesis, which cost a lot of personnel expenses.
But for future progress, it is all worth it, and all the invited colleagues expressed their willingness to attend.
There is no foolproof secret in the world, and no one wants to keep it secret, at least not Alan Wilson.
This graduation ceremony has not yet begun, but it has already attracted the attention of a small number of people, especially those who, like Alan Wilson, are interested in politics and think about progress all the time.
"Margaret, have you heard? At the graduation ceremony of Oriental College, a large number of civil servants from Whitehall will be present." On the grass inside Somerville College, a girl said diligently next to another girl, "
I know you must be interested in this matter, shall we go and have a look together then?"
"Oh?" Margaret's face full of collagen raised slightly, her eyes suddenly became bright, as if she was really attracted by the news, "What day? I will definitely go and see it then."
"I will go with you to see if those people in Whitehall are as old and ugly as people say." The girl who spoke also nodded and said, "Maybe our parents lied to us, and there may be some young and ugly people among them.
Capable elite."
"It's not about looking at men, we need to understand the current political elite in London!" Margaret corrected with a sullen face, "Although we are girls, we must also think for the country and let politics seep into our blood, so that we can be better
Good things will affect this country in the future, and I am the Conservative Party chairman of Somerville College."
"I know, you are a girl who is no worse than a man. It's a pity that you have such a beautiful face. If I had a face like yours, there would be many boys who want to be intimate with me." The girl sighed and said, "When the time comes we will
Let's go together, and I won't worry about what you say when the time comes. I heard that civil servants are neutral to political parties, so don't insist on your own opinions."
"Of course!" Margaret said with a somewhat proud expression, "Let me see what the level of officials in Whitehall is."
"It's like you are the Prime Minister, haha!" Upon hearing what her friend said, the girl laughed and said teasingly.
"Who says it's not possible?" Margaret asked unconvinced when she heard this.
Margaret Hilda Roberts, Conservative chairperson of Somerville College, and her father, Alfred Roberts, ran a grocery store in the local town and were active in local politics.
Margaret's mother was Patrice Roberts, whose maiden name was Stephenson; in addition, she also had a sister named Moriel, and the family were all devout Methodists.
Influenced by his father when he was a child, he had a certain understanding of conservative views and positions and developed a strong interest in politics.
In order to continue her studies at Oxford University, she spent one year studying Latin, which she usually studied for four years. Her father raised her as a strict Methodist.
After hearing the news from her friend, Margaret immediately made up her mind to go to the Oriental College that day to see what the officials working in the political center of the British Empire were like.
If we can know the thoughts of these civil servants, it will definitely be of great benefit to her future development.
As for the current Alan Wilson, he is still running wildly on the road of defeating Brzezinski and stepping on ten thousand feet.
He was planning to ask some of his colleagues to go to the Oriental College to create a spectacular scene, but he only thought of this level. He never thought that there were other people who wanted to make progress and wanted a piece of the pie after hearing the news.
If he knew that, Alan Wilson would not be happy. People who want to make progress too much and another person who wants to make progress too often have nothing in common.
On November 3, if you don’t take the smog into account, the sky in London can be considered clear. The temperature of around ten degrees is not unbearable. Although it is not as warm and pleasant as British India, the sense of happiness is comparable.
Compared to Northern and Eastern Europe, London residents have no reason to complain.
There were a lot of cars parked on the street outside the gate of Oriental College, which was a little different from usual and looked very lively.
Due to the delay of the war, it is not that there have been postponed graduation ceremonies during the period after the station, but today is obviously a bit unusual, and the entire Oriental College is in a warm atmosphere.
