Audrey Hepburn said to Alan Wilson with a flash of desire in his eyes: "You are very good at giving lectures. You seem to be particularly happy to tell interesting stories from the author's life."
"Every writer and that period of history is alive." Alan Wilson said to him, "Every short poem and every article is a small autobiography. This is the charm of literature."
Audrey Hepburn tilted her head, faced his gaze and said, "That's so good! It's very insightful!"
Alan Wilson laughed: "I'm quoting someone else's words, but when are you going to show me your artistic life?"
"Why? Do you want to see me clearly, or do you want me to see you clearly?" There was provocation in her tone.
Audrey Hepburn responded quickly. He felt that talking to her was very refreshing. She smiled, "Just don't always stare at my face when you show off..." Before he could answer, she added another sentence.
But she suddenly turned around, obviously blushing. She stepped up the stone steps and said goodbye, but did not look back at him.
Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets but held his head high. The sun was beginning to spin out from behind the thin clouds. He closed his eyes and saw Hepburn's smile in the dazzling golden flowers.
"Why can't I control myself and always think about these stumbling blocks on the road to success?" Qiang Zi calmed down. The British Empire still needs him now, but he still couldn't help but follow Audrey Hepburn. He said he would send her away
Hepburn came home.
Although the candlelight dinner plan is temporarily postponed, it is okay to find a restaurant for a preview first. Strike while the iron is hot. The two entered the dining room and found a place to sit down; Alan Wilson pointed to a table with his index finger and sat down.
Down.
Hepburn had bright eyes and a charming smile. Alan Wilson closed his mouth solemnly and his eyes were slightly shy, which was very funny. The table in the corner of the restaurant has a sense of privilege, as if only big shots dine here.
of.
This hypnotic atmosphere made Hepburn very happy. The waiter wore long cowhide trousers like a shepherd's boy in the American West. He had a slim figure and a completely respectful style.
"I won't ask about your job. Maybe you will disappear just like last time." Hepburn smiled and said, "The world is so big, I don't know where to find you."
"I have some freshwater dolphins in Malaya!" Alan Wilson sighed, "but I haven't seen them yet."
"Where is Malaya? Is it a place where black people live?" Hepburn was confused, "What is the local culture like?"
"The main local residents have two major ethnic groups. The most obvious culture is that local men can marry many wives." Alan Wilson said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, men only pay attention to these things."
"Do you also want to marry many wives? I saw it right away." Hepburn said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to think so. I thought you would be very special."
"If most men think this way, but I don't think so, doesn't that mean there's something wrong with me?" Alan Wilson said with a helpless smile, "Stop talking about this problem, Audrey, let's settle the meal first.
question."
After eating, Hepburn walked home. She walked quickly, but not too much; she walked easily and with her head held high, and she had a self-awareness of her graceful figure, so she hoped but was not afraid that people would associate her with her.
What distinguishes her from others is the demeanor of a woman. However, beneath that calm and unhurried appearance, she is always paying attention to the man following behind her.
When Hepburn stood at the door of her home, she turned around and Alan Wilson, who usually followed him, bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.
Alan Wilson nodded slightly and watched Hepburn open the door and enter. Then he stood at the door minding his own business for a while before returning to the original route.
"Mother!" Hepburn, who was watching Alan Wilson leave through the peephole, turned around and whispered, "Alan seems to be very worried. I don't know why, but I can feel it."
At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building the next day, all the colonial commissioners not only did not feel tired at all, but were in high spirits.
Those who didn't know thought they had met the three great joys in life, but for their status as commissioners, this was more joyful than anything else.
I don’t know if I dreamed about the dawn of getting rich when I went back to sleep, but in short, after a day of meetings, no one felt tired and their whole bodies were full of energy.
A relaxed mood is contagious, even if today's topic is not actually relaxing.
Maintaining connections with overseas territories essentially relies on the Suez Canal. After all, today's colonies, except Nigeria, which is surrounded by French Africa, all need to be connected by the Suez Canal.
In essence, the Suez Canal War broke out out of nowhere. Even if Nasser took back the Suez Canal, it would not cause any economic losses to Britain. It would just be the loss of the Suez Canal's privileges.
I don’t know why the Prime Minister at that time suddenly felt the glory of the British Empire in his heart, and insisted on using Egypt to kill the chicken as an example to the monkeys. As a result, he became the chicken sacrificed to the flag by the United States and the Soviet Union.
"We still have places in our hands that the Americans are concerned about, and that is the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca. There are currently the Netherlands and France near the Strait of Malacca, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. But we are no longer completely in control of the situation near the Suez Canal. Greece and
The influence of Turkey and the British Empire has been replaced by the United States. And beside the Suez Canal, there is Israel, which was founded only with the support of the United States."
"Our current plans are based on the fact that the Suez Canal is still open." Alan Wilson frowned and said, "If one day, the United States, which has surpassed the Royal Navy in strength, puts pressure on us to abandon the canal.
What about control? Do we have a filing?”
In fact, Alan Wilson has a way to prevent Prime Minister Eden from committing a crime, as long as Eden loses the election and cannot become prime minister.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aiden underwent a routine gallstone surgery, but unexpectedly it became a turning point in his life. Due to a mistake, the doctor cut off his bile duct in order to stop the severe pain.
, the doctor used a new specific drug - amphetamine, which later generations used to call methamphetamine. The drug was not only highly addictive, but also made people lose their minds. Of course, this matter was kept strictly confidential. Two years later, Aiden successfully
became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
If Eden is addicted, just leak the news when Eden is campaigning. In this era, Britain can be forgiven for thinking that it will be over before it is happy. It is absolutely impossible for the Prime Minister to win the election if he has this problem.
of.
But what if Aiden is fine and still wins the election? I start to think that the British Empire is okay again, and if I have to shake off the majesty of imperialism, then the problem will be very big.
His old boss, Lord Barron, is the current commissioner of the Persian Gulf. In fact, he also knows the problem of the Suez Canal very well. The Suez Canal is the throat of the Mediterranean, the lifeline of the British Empire, the main international shipping channel connecting the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and the most important in the world.
One of the waterways.
Once something happens to the Suez Canal, Britain's control over the entire colony will be greatly reduced. Except for Nigeria, which will not be affected, all existing colonies will be affected.
Whether it is the Persian Gulf, Malaya, or the major colonies in British Africa, this kind of shock will be felt.
"Alan's concerns are very reasonable. In fact, the Foreign Secretary is also very worried. The importance of the Suez Canal to the British Empire is self-evident. The relevant preparations cannot be overstated." Norman Brooke heard this.
Question, his expression became obviously serious, "Egypt is not free from the British call. Once there is a problem here, everything talked about yesterday will be fantasy."
Stop fantasizing! Many colonial commissioners were so happy that they couldn't sleep, so today's meeting became a fantasy?
In order to avoid fantasy, many colonial officials expressed their opinions and proposed ways to strengthen supervision of the Suez Canal.
"I also have an idea, but it may not be politically correct to say it, because the Jews must be used as a trap." Alan Wilson said hesitantly, "Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries are similar to the United Kingdom in one thing, and that is the local monarch.
The thinking is still strong. In fact, in terms of national attributes, it should become an ally of the United Kingdom."
"Of course, and the Arab world is vast, no country will be too offended, not even the United States." Sir Ismay nodded in approval, "This time the Palestinian-Israeli war can prove this, whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union
, they don’t want to offend the Raab world too much.”
"But the United States finally sent troops!" Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "Do we remember the speech that Congressman Churchill gave in the United States after he lost the election?"
"Of course!" The colonial commissioners, including Sir Barron, all leaned back and waited for Alan Wilson's next words.
"Member Churchill's idea is to conduct an all-round confrontation involving politics, military and diplomacy, but not to actually fight, but to drag down the opponent. Prime Minister Attlee believes that this is not good for Britain. In fact, it is very bad.
, the United States is separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and we are the ones who pay the price for confrontation. Even if we pay an equal price, the United States still has the power to attack our colonies, but we have no power to protect those territories."
Speaking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly changed the subject and said, "The confrontation must wait until the homeland is not affected. But if it is not in Europe? It is not that similar operations cannot be used? We mediate in the middle, gather all the Arab monarchies, and fight against Israel
Launching a blockade and an arms race, and then pushing the Egyptian Sudan to the position of leader, will it change the situation a little bit?"
What Alan Wilson means is that the Cold War can start in the Middle East, and now is the right time. Britain can export military equipment and use Arab power to divert conflicts.
