Chapter 783 Two Rebels

The old boss has to fight again, dragging a body that almost always has diapers to realize his dream of becoming the prime minister.

Of course there are people in the Conservative Party who are dissatisfied, especially the number two figure in the Conservative Party, Eden.

At the age of 26, Eden was already elected as a member of the House of Commons. In 1935, he became the British Foreign Secretary and became a giant of the Conservative Party. Eden was also famous for his handsome appearance and was more popular than the aging Churchill.

Much.

In fact, Alan Wilson sees it, this is why there is no prince in the world for forty years. Eden was already a heavyweight in the Conservative Party twenty years ago, and he has been the number two figure for such a long time. Churchill is still eighty years old.

It is normal for Eden to be dissatisfied with his position. You must know the original history. Churchill had already given up the role of prime minister to Eden after he had finished his prime ministerial addiction.

Even after relinquishing his position as Prime Minister, Eden did not express his gratitude to Churchill. This shows how dissatisfied Eden was with Churchill's behavior of occupying the toilet and not doing anything.

Now it seems that Eden thinks that Churchill has little chance of winning the re-election. Churchill is already 80 years old. It is only right that he should give up his seat and let him be elected. Only he, Eden, can lead the Conservative Party out of underestimation and reverse the situation of two major defeats by the Labor Party.

.

After listening to his wife's words, Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "One thing is true. Churchill is a very special existence in the Conservative Party. Churchill is an aristocrat. It is actually difficult to find him in the Conservative Party in the old Chamberlain era.

Come on, Churchill is closer to the Whig aristocrats of the 19th century from his origin, temperament and taste. He is an orator with the elegant taste of the Victorian era, which makes him look like a rare animal among Conservative politicians."

"If Aiden wants to take action, he must be very confident." Pamela Mountbatten asked at this time, "My dear, what do you think Whitehall means?"

"If Churchill is elected, Whitehall will be very willing to receive such an old prime minister who doesn't even know he is still alive. But if Eden is elected, this issue will have to be reconsidered."

Alan Wilson thought as he said, "No one wants to serve an overly powerful prime minister, right? Moreover, Aiden is not old and may interfere with the normal operation of the country. From the perspective of Whitehall, Churchill needs a mascot.

It's very appropriate. At his age, it shouldn't be possible for him to contribute to the debts of the British Empire like during the war."

After thinking about it, Alan Wilson gave his own judgment. Churchill's age should not cause trouble to the country. Whitehall would definitely like such a prime minister, but Churchill would definitely not be able to choose him.

If Eden succeeds in forcing the palace this time, the Conservative Party's chances of winning will increase. After all, Eden's image will definitely be much better than that of Churchill now, but it is still unknown whether it can defeat the Labor Party. The Labor Party has been in power for nine years, and at least it can be considered a serious government.

, no big mistakes so far.

"Which side will Whitehall be on?" Princess Margaret was spared for a long time and asked directly to the topic.

"The winner's side!" Alan Wilson laughed and answered the princess's question, "We just obey the minister's puppets, who has the right to favor anyone. No one has this power. The interior of Whitehall is also complicated.

Just like the Conservative Party now."

At this time in history, Norman Brooke relied on the support of two prime ministers, Churchill and Eden, to successfully seize the position of civil servant from the Treasury and become the most powerful civil servant. Ironically, he was

The person who stole the title of Civil Servant was the second Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges.

Of course, no one denies that Norman Brooke's personal abilities are still superior, his attitude is relatively strong, he has extremely high authority when he is in office, and he also consolidates the status of the department. He can have back-and-forth confrontations with ministers during his term of office.

things.

There are two things that reflect his authority. Norman Brooke concealed Churchill's physical condition in his later years, which made the Conservative Party, especially Eden, very dissatisfied. Then he helped Eden wipe his ass and destroyed the private Suez Canal documents.

These two things were huge things, and Norman Brooke dared to do them. This naturally proved his strong influence during his tenure.

My wife came back and informed me of the two changes in Britain, both of which were very important. Alan Wilson felt that the latter was more important. He really did not trust the Conservative Party. This party was always unable to bear the urge to perform a free fall.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for the Labor Party to vote for the Soviet Union, but it is really possible for the Conservative Party to vote for the United States. However, it is good news to attach importance to British Malaya, which shows that the value of British Malaya has been recognized by London. Otherwise, it would not be possible.

Will not think of ways to strengthen the defense power of British Malaya.

To this end, Alan Wilson first did what he could, such as singing praises for increasing Malaya's military strength. After all, he had just returned from South Vietnam, and there was no problem in pretending to be an expert on Southeast Asia based on his experience.

And this is a fact. In a telegram to Whitehall, Alan Wilson said that in the minds of many Vietnamese, Vietnam was the political, economic and cultural center of the French colony during the French colonial period. After the French withdrew, it was led by Vietnam.

The Three Kingdoms are natural.

Both North Vietnam and South Vietnam believe this, and it will not differ depending on whether they belong to the free world or the Soviet bloc.

As for the situation in British Malaya, Alan Wilson said that although there are hidden dangers, balancing the affairs of the two major ethnic groups is currently the correct route, and he also revealed the secret plan to destroy Malaya.

This is not public, but it is not a secret either. In fact, as early as the day he came back, Alan Wilson leaked this idea through information channels, although if anyone asked him, it would definitely be true.

After dealing with Whitehall, Alan Wilson got in touch with Ms. Ingrid Bergman, the leader of the French women's movement, and asked about my film about how the British used counterintuitive tactics to kill Beria. When will it be completed? It's almost the general election.

.

At this moment, the Labor government needs an assist. If this assist can come from France, it will be a very impactful thing for the entire British electorate.

"You can't see it. This kind of political movie is very boring. It has been produced now and will be released next month." In Ingrid Bergman's call back, it seemed that she could feel the eyes of this Nordic goddess.

Alan Wilson could only bear the humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of Britain and express his thoughts from 10,000 kilometers apart.

Eden in London is not as cool as the overseas commissioner. What he has been doing recently is to ask Churchill to step aside.

In Eden's eyes, Churchill is now a negative asset to the Conservative Party. With his 80-year-old appearance, he has embarrassed the Conservative Party in Congress. Even his eloquent eloquence has disappeared now.

As long as he appears in the House of Commons, all the members can see is the image of Alzheimer's disease.

In the process of losing the previous two elections, the Conservative Party was also summing up its failure experience. For example, the Labor Party's political base grew during the war.

The employment opportunities provided by the war allowed the number of trade unions and workers to continue to grow. By the time of the post-war election, the Labor Party not only had 2.6 million members, but also had a political foundation of more than 8 million members in trade unions and cooperative organizations.

Churchill's aristocratic status is now a mistake and cannot bring any benefit to the Conservative Party.

The most important thing is that Aiden wants to make progress too much. Twenty years ago he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Almost ten years after World War II ended, he is still overwhelmed by this old man who is reluctant to leave.

There is an election every five years. Normally, if you fail this time, you will have to wait until five years later. Aiden himself is no longer young, so he discussed this election with Macmillan. In the end, the two reached a consensus and decided to find a

Talk to Churchill.

Macmillan and Eden are of the same age. The 29-year-old Macmillan successfully won the Stockton-on-Tees constituency and became a member of the House of Commons. In Parliament, he became a member of the idealistic young Conservative group "Christian"

Member of the Youth Association.

Because of his long-term opposition to Chamberlain's appeasement policy, Macmillan has been a backbench MP for a long time. Being of similar age to Eden, having the same views, and having foreign experience, the two have a very good relationship.

The two of them arrived at Churchill's home together and decided to have a good talk with the eighty-year-old party leader. In order to avoid the split of the Conservative Party, the facts were already obvious. The Conservative Party's loss once can be said to be an accident, but losing twice in a row is no matter what.

There is no excuse anymore.

If Alan Wilson were here, he would definitely have identified this rebel at a glance. When the Suez Canal crisis occurred, Macmillan was the first Conservative minister to advocate invasion, but he was also the first minister to call for a peaceful solution. He directly

The ruling Prime Minister Eden was installed.

Now two rebels came to the home of an old comrade and prepared to bully an eighty-year-old comrade. But this old comrade had reached the point where he didn't realize that he had betrayed his relatives.

This afternoon was quite difficult for Churchill. The loss to Attlee in 1945 was a blow to Churchill. But this afternoon, he experienced an even more embarrassing situation than in 1945.

"In order to avoid the split of the Conservative Party, this is our common opinion. The situation is now clear. Voters are losing. For the sake of the party's image, Harold and I hope that you can voluntarily resign as leader of the Conservative Party. This is

The best way to avoid division." Eden looked at the dumbfounded Churchill. To be fair, he didn't want to do this, but there was no way.

Macmillan also nodded and said, "The current Conservative Party gives people the impression of being a party of old people. This is the idea of ​​many supporters in the party. Congressman Churchill is already 80 years old. He should think about it carefully and perfect his novel at home.

Many people believe that the correct way to use influence is not to continue to be the party leader."
