At present, McCarthy is far from reaching the stage of becoming an all-powerful senator. He is just a very ordinary senator among the Republican Party.
This assessment given by the British Consulate is not wrong, it can be said to be very appropriate. If you consider McCarthy's final downfall, this is a very correct assessment.
Was McCarthy finally downed and abandoned because he was against all kinds of communism? Absolutely not. In fact, for politicians with a stance similar to McCarthy's, opposition to communism is a plus, not a minus.
The reason why McCarthy disappeared from the public in the end can be attributed to his poor brain. He did this when the Democratic Party was in power, with the support of the Republican Party behind him. However, when the government changed and the Republican Party was in power, he still did this except drinking too much.
, there is no other reason to explain.
From this point of view, McCarthy should not be a big shot in the establishment, but should be considered a relatively grassroots figure within the Republican Party, so the consulate gave a very ordinary evaluation.
Even the United Kingdom, the originator of modern intelligence, cannot predict the future. It does not know the meaning of the times making heroes. This drunkard who is often drunk will make the United States crazy. However, this is not necessarily the case for the United Kingdom.
bad thing.
As for the foreign policies of the Democratic and Republican parties, the Democratic Party of the United States has always been aggressive. Since the Westward Expansion Movement of Manifest Destiny in the 19th century, the Democratic Party of the United States has always used war as a means to solve problems.
The Republicans, on the other hand, are liberal and advocate isolationism. Of course, there are also areas where London is dissatisfied, that is, they oppose the Marshall Plan and believe that European countries can overcome the difficulties on their own.
The supporters of the Democratic Party are white southerners and farmers from the Midwest, the former being descendants of the Confederate States of America.
The latter are rednecks, Republican supporters in the Great Lakes region, and the developed economic belt of the East Coast.
This is exactly the opposite of the world's impression of the two parties a few decades later. In the 1960s, due to the issue of affirmative action, the positions of the Republicans and Democrats would change.
Now, parties like the Democratic Party that protect the rights of white people and interfere in foreign affairs will move step by step towards the line of Black Lives Matter. At this time, the Republican Party, which is an enlightened and liberal United States, will gradually become what it will be in later generations.
"Now think about it, isn't it 1948? The famous incident of Mr. Chang betting on the wrong thing." Alan Wilson calculated the time and found that this year happened to be an election year.
The party positions in the election year only have a reference function, because everyone must do whatever it takes to win. The Republican Party can also show its anti-Soviet face and accuse the Democratic Party of being weak to the Soviet Union. Even if the Republican Party has always opposed it, the Democratic Party's Marshall Plan supports Europe.
If the Republican Party wins this election, the Marshall Plan can be completely stopped after the election. And because Roosevelt has been re-elected as president many times, it seems that the current public opinion in the United States is more favorable to the Republican Party coming to power.
This kind of favor from public opinion finally made Mr. Chang fall into the trap, and he supported Dewey with Truman's aid. This use of American money to do American things was obviously not done well, and he probably did not do micro-management in person.
If you were micromanaging it yourself, you should be even more embarrassed.
Collecting the information of other U.S. senators, only McCarthy’s own information was left. Now that he has to work in North America in the short term, he can get to know this influential figure in a few years at the appropriate time.
In fact, McCarthyism can be advanced. When the results of this election are obtained, it can start if Truman is re-elected. If Truman is successfully re-elected, the Republican Party will definitely be dejected for a while. After all, Dewey is far ahead in terms of momentum and polls. Once defeated,
For the Republican Party, which has been in opposition for 20 years, it must be uncomfortable.
That time was the time to express the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Of course, the top priority now was to be busy with his own affairs. Feeling empty, Alan Wilson packed up the information and shouted downstairs, "Vivian, I'm hungry."
"
"Ouch!" Seeing Vivien Leigh getting up and going to the kitchen after hearing the call, Hedy Lamarr and Joan Crawford had mocking looks on their faces, "Our Vivian is really a good wife and mother."
"Don't think too much about it. Allen is young and has officially grown up." Vivien Leigh explained in a subtle way.
Is it small? Joan Crawford raised her eyebrows and did not agree with Vivien Leigh's statement. It was obviously a very satisfactory size.
Hedy Lamarr and Joan Crawford were left behind as expected. Alan Wilson asked how the past year was and if there was anything he needed help with.
"But then again, the whole world is in ruins, and the United States is now the strongest." Alan Wilson ate a chicken leg, and Vivien Leigh's cooking skills were very unflattering.
"No matter how good you are, you have become the governor in such a short period of time." Hedy Lamarr raised her face and said with a half-smile, "It's only for us young actors to have dinner with us actresses, the governor."
pleasure."
"When did you become a minor actor in Hollywood?" Alan Wilson chuckled, and then sighed, "The situation in Newfoundland is very bad, and it may not be possible when it will become independent. I will be the governor this time. In fact, in the eyes of London, it is just a small actor.
As a transitional candidate, being the consul in Boston is more important in London. Why is that place!"
The most famous event that can be associated with Boston and the British Empire is the Boston Tea Party. This event was not just caused by the British monopoly on the tea market. It had many reasons, but no matter what the reason was, it was
In a landmark event, Britain is still the villain.
"Alan, are you thinking of the Boston Tea Party?" Joan Crawford captured the subtle expression on Alan Wilson's face and mentioned that historical event. The patriotic education in the United States is very good, even if it is
She also knew about the event that marked the independence of the United States. She suppressed a smile and said, "If you had been the governor in that era, we would have been enemies."
"No, because the United States does not exist at all, and there is no enemy." Alan Wilson said very simply, "As a rare Orientalist scholar in the empire, I have always admired the attitude of Eastern culture towards rebels.
The UK has a tradition of fighting wits and courage between the bourgeoisie and the king for hundreds of years, so it is not even as good as France on this issue."
"Don't worry too much. This is just a hypothetical question, and I'm just hypothetically answering. Isn't the United States very prosperous now?"
After Alan Wilson finished answering, he began to change the topic again, regarding the issue of Hedy Lamarr's divorce. Alan Wilson didn't think it was related to him, but now it is related to him.
In the name of being busy with official duties, Alan Wilson expressed that he was going to stay at the consulate for a few days, and then he found Hedy Lamarr's address and personally visited to comfort the young woman's heart.
"You are crazy, and you are not afraid that Vivian will know." Hedy Lamarr snuggled into the man's arms, not forgetting to scold Alan Wilson for his sexual audacity, "You are not afraid of losing the national treasure of the British Empire."
"I can't stand losing you either." Alan Wilson shamelessly expressed his desire to have it all and praised, "I mean you are not firm in refusing, otherwise I wouldn't succeed."
"I should have called the police to arrest you just now." Hedy Lamarr glared at Alan Wilson and angrily scolded him for his behavior of being obedient despite taking advantage of him. "I'll let you be embarrassed. The Governor has not yet taken office and has been replaced."
"I am a diplomat and have diplomatic immunity." Alan Wilson said proudly, he had succeeded anyway, Hedy Lamarr could say whatever she wanted, and she wouldn't lose a piece of flesh if she was said a few words.
It’s not untenable on a moral level. Alan Wilson is an unmarried man and Hedy Lamarr is also single. Is there anything wrong with the two of them falling in love?
"If it weren't for you, would I be able to talk to the French about the Common Market for Films?" Alan Wilson repeated the story he had with Vivien Leigh when he first arrived in the United States, and said it again in front of Hedy Lamarr. Prepared
When I went to see Ingrid Bergman in two days, I said it again, don’t be afraid of old tricks, as long as they are easy to use.
For now, this rhetoric is still very useful. Alan Wilson vividly linked the negotiations with betraying national interests, saying that in the negotiations for the common film market, the United Kingdom actually suffered a loss because the French film industry is stronger than the British.
Alan Wilson said that for Hedy Lamarr, Vivien Leigh when she first arrived in Los Angeles, Ingrid Bergman two days later, etc., to a certain extent, he endured the current situation of the UK being disadvantaged and reached the European Film Common Market.
agreement.
"Really?" Hedy Lamarr looked at Alan Wilson's face carefully and asked with burning eyes.
"Of course!" Faced with Hedy Lamarr, who was called a flower vase and was undoubtedly the worst actor in the group, Alan Wilson said magnanimously, "Actually, after I returned to China, Whitehall arranged two jobs.
One is to serve as the deputy secretary-general of an agency dealing with European affairs, to promote the implementation of the Marshall Plan, and tens of billions of dollars will pass through my hands. But I still came to North America without hesitation."
Hedy Lamarr is not yet suitable to know about the fact that she has too many immediate bosses in Europe and is far from coming to North America to be free. She only needs to know that Alan Wilson has tens of billions of dollars in him, let alone 100 million U.S. dollars.
He is not as important as these actresses in his eyes, and those tens of billions of dollars are not his.
The work in North America can be said to be tight on time and heavy tasks for Alan Wilson. Take Swedish cars as an example. Alan Wilson has always believed that hardware such as headlights and chassis are the advantages of Swedish cars, and their cushioning performance is very good.
The owner of the car, Ingrid Bergman, fully agreed with this and said that the British gentleman who came to the door was right. The Governor of Newfoundland who had just arrived in America was very busy and had paid too much for the British Empire.
"The common market needs to be established. I want to return to Europe for development. It is best to be able to take into account the European and North American markets." Ingrid Bergman, wearing a bathrobe, went directly to Alan Wilson and said that she had always had the idea of going back.
.
"I firmly support it!" Alan Wilson expressed full agreement and started to take action again.
"Don't move. I looked in the mirror just now when I took a shower, and there were fingerprints on them." Ingrid Bergman opened her bathrobe, pointed at her chest and said, "Look, how obvious are they?"
In this regard, Alan Wilson said that it was entirely because of the good performance of Swedish cars and that he would not be able to control them unless he paid close attention to them.
