It can be said to be what everyone expected, especially when looking at the surging French Communist Party for comparison, Alan Wilson was full of sighs, and a trace of complexity flashed across his face. This fell into the eyes of Ingrid Bergman, and the actress was full of confusion.
,"What's wrong?"
"No matter what France says, they have found someone they can rely on." Alan Wilson said nothing.
Ingrid Bergman thought about it carefully, isn’t it just a leader? Could it be that Britain can’t find a leader?
It’s really impossible to find it. After years of hard work, Alan Wilson now looks at the United States across the Atlantic and still feels that the accumulation of this traitor is unfathomable.
If you compare the hegemony of Britain and the United States, the British Empire is of course greater, but the United States is stronger.
Of course, the United States is stronger. It usually uses countries like North Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq as a foil. It cannot compare with the British's success in colonizing Spain, the Netherlands, France, Imperial Russia, and Germany. By the way, the Ottomans and the Qing Dynasty colonized South Asia.
.
If the United Kingdom's combat effectiveness is 100, it can display at least 95 in a battle. If the United States has a combat effectiveness of 200, it can be considered a good performance if it can display 70 when it encounters a strong enemy.
For the free world, the United States is that everyone thinks it is very strong, but at critical moments the United States cannot convince the public. It is a standard king of World Cup qualifiers. But unfortunately, for Britain and France, when they faced the United States, they happened to be in the United States.
comfort zone.
This is like Britain attacking the Qing Dynasty while wiping out its entire army in Afghanistan. At the same time, Daoguang was able to scare the peeing out of the peace-religious countries in Central Asia. The United States was stumbling against less powerful countries, but it happened to be in a position to securely dominate Britain and France.
France, under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle, really turned against the United States at a critical moment. This kind of public opinion also exists in France.
But does Britain have such public opinion? Even if there is public opinion that is not willing to be a subordinate, it still depends on what the politicians think.
Ever since France withdrew from Vietnam, Alan Wilson had been creating conditions for France to deal with the Algerian issue toughly.
The reason why he did this was to move towards his premonition, which of course had never been confirmed by anyone.
That is, are Britain and France really opposite when it comes to colonial issues? France is tough on retaining its colonies, while Britain is completely letting things go and will be independent if it loves independence.
Alan Wilson can tell from history that the so-called African Independence Year was actually the Independence Year of French Africa.
The British colonies in Africa generally became independent later than France. This is especially true for the contiguous colonies in British East Africa.
During the Algerian War, Britain called for France to handle colonial issues on its own.
Do you have the mentality to observe secretly from the sidelines and formulate colonial policies based on the results of the war?
Alan Wilson believes that there is, and Britain should also realize that the resistance in Africa is not strong, at least within the range that Britain can bear, but it is still waiting to see whether France, which uses military force to suppress Algeria, can successfully keep this country that is most important to France.
important colony.
In history, the French finally retreated from Algeria. In the year when Algeria became independent, the independence agenda of British East Africa also began. In the following years, British East Africa also disappeared into Africa along with the French colonies.
But what if France suppresses the Algerian resistance? Will Britain remain indifferent and watch a land so close to the French mainland become part of France, while letting the colonies in its hands become independent?
In the memory of history, Britain officially announced in 1968 that it would withdraw from all military bases in Africa. By this time, the Algerian War had been over for six years.
Seeing the failure of France's repressive strategy, Britain decided not to repeat the same mistakes on the same issue.
This is Alan Wilson's guess, but he thinks the clues from the time of Africa's independence are reasonable.
Then they have been trying to find ways to strengthen France's confidence and provide convenient conditions.
If this guess is wrong? Then Britain will be in big trouble in the future. France, which swallowed Algeria, is not something that Britain can fight with the British Isles.
But if the bet is right, Britain will have great confidence in the success of France's suppression. The root cause is the result of the Algerian War. Success or failure may have an impact not only on France.
De Gaulle successfully obtained the power to transform the French political system. Now he can shape the new France according to his own ideas. The British gentleman who was secretly observing was also preparing to return home. His mission in Paris was over.
He also wanted de Gaulle to come to power on the first day, and mobilize the whole country to defeat Algeria the next day. But the real world is not a happy story after all. De Gaulle still has a lot of things to do, just like Alan Wilson has just taken office, and he still has many diplomatic tasks to explore.
Without encountering the problem at hand, those who come after look at history will only think that it would be easier than drinking water to deal with it. If they use a few terms and reverse it, they will say that everyone can achieve peace and prosperity in five years.
How can it be so simple when faced with an environment like this that affects the whole body at a moment's notice?
Of course that's what he thought, but after answering a phone call, Alan Wilson went to Greta Garbo's apartment honestly, like a good baby.
"I want to discuss my son's future education with you." After giving the man a deep kiss as usual, Greta Garbo asked Ellen Wilson to sit down and asked for her partner's opinion.
"That's my son too." Alan Wilson muttered dissatisfiedly, why couldn't he see the Queen of Silent Movies living a good life alone?
"That's very manly!" Greta Garbo glanced at Allen Wilson and asked calmly, "Do you dare to publicly admit that he is your son? You don't dare, I'm older than you.
At ten years old, others will think you are sick. Even if there is no age difference, having an illegitimate child will be harmful to your career."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alan Wilson opened his mouth and admitted that Greta Garbo was right, he really does not have the courage of Macron.
"Okay, as the father of the child, you can give me some professional advice on where to choose a more suitable place for his education. Originally, I thought Paris was not bad, but Paris is a bit too chaotic this year. I still hope that the child
Being able to complete teaching without interference." Greta Garbo also took a step back and admitted the fact that her son's father was the man in front of her. "Actually, sending it back to Stockholm is also a very good option, but I haven't decided yet."
"Education teachers must keep up. Money is not an issue. The key is to educate the children well." Ellen Wilson wanted to send her to London, but when the words came to her lips, Greta Garbo seemed to see something and directly vetoed it.
The Queen of Silent Movies felt that it was not a good thing for the child to have contact with Alan Wilson before the child grew up. If the father appeared, but not as the father, it would be better not to appear at all.
"Sweden is also a rich country. It is considered very powerful among Scandinavian countries. The teaching quality is also very good." Alan Wilson shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to say that it is inconvenient to visit, but when I think about it, I also
I just met him a few times when he didn't remember anything."
"You can rest assured about this, I will tell him when he is an adult." Greta Garbo looked consoling as usual, "If I am still alive at that time."
In front of ladies with the same status as his wife, only with Greta Garbo can Alan Wilson feel that he is really a pure tool. He almost never feels needed!
"You make me doubt my own worth," Alan Wilson said with a dissatisfied face.
"Comfortable." Greta Garbo glanced at Alan Wilson with the eyes of a goddess shown in many movies, and her tone became joking, "If you have time, I will stay here tonight."
"Are you going back to Sweden too? It might not be easy for me to see you." Alan Wilson asked a little disappointed.
"This is really my problem. I have lived alone for too long and have no connections." Greta Garbo also said frankly, "Maybe you need to help me arrange some manpower to take care of the children."
Alan Wilson muttered, "When I went to Hollywood in the United States, my character was an athlete. The Americans' judgment was really right..."
Alan Wilson, who was preparing to return to London, spent his last night in the film company and was deeply kissed by Hedy Lamarr before dragging his exhausted body on the way home.
With his conscience, he returned to the film company to ask whether their children needed any help in education.
I was preparing to fulfill my father's responsibilities, but my father's responsibilities were temporarily postponed, and I tried my best to do my husband's responsibilities first.
"Bring me information on the Falklands issue and all Argentina's claims in recent years."
Back at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson has not returned yet. He is probably chatting and laughing with King Farouk I of Egypt, appreciating the charm of the Egyptian Pyramids, a famous building that has been repeatedly questioned by civilian history.
Alan Wilson, who was also newly appointed, began to enter the stage of fully familiarizing himself with diplomatic work. He wanted to use 20 to 30 years to give the Argentine government a certain impression that the United Kingdom would not react to the loss of the Falkland Islands.
.
Although Alan Wilson's vision of the future may be disappointing to the expectations of British citizens, the formulation of policies has never been related to whether the majority of the people support it or not.
When formulating the policy on the Falkland Islands, he was still waiting for the return of the Foreign Secretary to find out what the Foreign Secretary thought about the colonial issue. He must come up with an attitude. By the way, he would like to see if he could confirm it.
Alan Wilson, speculating that the outcome of the Algerian War would determine British colonial strategy.
