British Civil Servant

Alan Wilson didn't think so, and he wasn't very poor. Of course, it would be best if it could be exchanged for a certain upside, but considering the age, this kind of hope does not seem to be too great.

A realistic person like him would not do such a risky thing before seeing the benefits.

So for the Cambridge Five Masterpieces in the history of the Soviet KGB, he just wants to have a simple touch.

The only communication between him and Philby was that they lived in British India for a period of time, and he could only think of ways from this aspect.

After returning to London, Alan Wilson was actually very complicated. Anti-Soviet in the British civil service was naturally politically correct. People like the Cambridge Five who had a good impression of the Soviet Union were very rare.

His thoughts were rather special. He was against the Soviet Union for his own interests, but while he was against the Soviet Union, he was also against the United States.

After the war, it seems that the Empire on the Sun must make way for the United States and the Soviet Union, but at this moment, strictly speaking, it is not sunset, but it is already dusk. During this process, the relationship between Britain and the United States is definitely not a special ally. .

In the process of the disintegration of the empire on which the sun never sets, the United States and the Soviet Union were actually the same. Even on the issue of colonies, the United States contributed more to the disintegration of the British Empire than the Soviet Union.

After the war, the Soviet Union lost a huge amount of population and wealth. Even if it wanted to do something, it was powerless in a short period of time. It will take time to digest the influence of Eastern Europe after the war, and it is not the incomparable man who slapped each other with the United States after the 1960s.

Therefore, in the first period of time after the war, the British Empire will undoubtedly face the pressure of the United States. In terms of colonies, the United Kingdom and France are allies, resisting the pressure of the United States in the short term, and facing the pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union in the long run. .

After the conversation, Alan Wilson invited Philby to find a place to have a drink after get off work. The proposal was not rejected, and Philby readily agreed.

"Then I'll go first, and we'll see you when you get off work." Alan Wilson shook hands with Philby, "As you know, not many people have civil service experience in British India, and I've just returned to London to do something. rather unfamiliar."

"I'm very willing to help." Philby responded equally friendly, "As you said, it's good to have friends to help."

When Alan Wilson left the MI6 headquarters building, Philby suppressed his smile and pondered for a moment before leaving.

Philby is fundamentally different from other members. His other friends have more or less idealized imaginations about the Soviet Union, but he, who works in the intelligence department, has no beautiful illusions about the Soviet Union. I don't think that a country that starts all over again and builds a new system will be able to solve all the current problems.

Philby believes that it is very normal for a country to face all kinds of difficulties when it is just established, and for the whole human being, it is better to have one more choice than only one, just like the existence of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party in the UK. The vision is placed in the whole world, and people can choose which kind of system they want.

Although he served the Soviet Union, Philby did not have the pure and beautiful fantasy of the Soviet Union. This is one of the reasons why he is the most destructive member of the Cambridge Five.

"Returning to London, I believe your work is also being arranged. But then again, it's good for you to come back sooner. If British India had to be independent, you would have faced a lot of competition if you came back at that time. Come back now. One trip, even if I go to work in British India, I won't be caught off guard." Philby, dragging a wine glass in his hand, carefully analyzed the pros and cons for Alan Wilson.

"Does Harold also think that British India must be independent?" Alan Wilson asked rhetorically, taking a sip of his whisky.

"It's hard to keep it, and we have to pay attention to the views of other countries. Especially the other two big players." Philby shrugged, "You think we can withstand the pressure of the other two countries and keep India. Is it?"

"It's impossible with the United States!" Alan Wilson thought for a moment, and couldn't help but lowered his head. "In fact, it is now obvious that the Americans can be regarded as a suspicious ally, and the damage to the British Empire may even be greater than that of the Soviet Union."

Oh? Did you know that? Philby's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he took a sip from the wine glass to hide his eyes.

"I admit that what you said makes sense." Philby agreed, putting down his glass, "enemies and allies are sometimes not so well defined."

Especially for spies! Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said, "I agree, it's so right."

Whitehall Foreign Office Building, Indian Affairs Minister Leo Emery threw out a letter and placed it in front of Foreign Secretary Robert Anthony Eden, "I would like to have someone in your department on secondment from the Indian Affairs Department, What do you think about returning to the establishment of the Ministry of Indian Affairs for the time being?"

"Leo? What's going on?" Anthony Aiden asked in confusion, UU reading www.uukanshu. com "Why so much trouble?"

"I also want to know this question." Leo Emery sat down and smiled bitterly, "This is a letter from Mountbatten to me, except for some personal social interactions and the current situation in British India, that's it. The civil servant who sent the letter back was assigned to the Ministry of Indian Affairs, but temporarily went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that was the case."

"Does this count as a normal transfer?" Anthony Aiden was hesitant at first, but suddenly made a sharp turn, "But then again, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs are doing roughly the same work, except that The right country is different. I will let the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrange this matter.”

"I don't think it's difficult. Even the Prime Minister received a letter from Mountbatten. I also listened to what the cabinet secretary said!" Leo Emery said in surprise and said, "This civil servant, and Mountbatten are the same what relationship?"

"Is it a son-in-law, it seems that the age is not right." Anthony Aiden said with some amusing, "But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very busy now, and we have to listen to Mountbatten's own opinions, especially for you."

The Ministry of Indian Affairs is in charge of the work of British India, so it is necessary to attach great importance to the opinions of the Governor's Office of British India and the Indian side. Who let British India be a colony to support the work of the Ministry of Indian Affairs?

Knowing that Mountbatten also wrote a letter to Prime Minister Churchill, Anthony Eden felt that he should have hoped that this civil servant would have a gold-plated job, not without. For example, now, when Berlin is conquered, the subsequent division of occupied areas will require the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do it, and it is easy to accumulate experience in these tasks.

As foreign minister, Anthony Eden now knows what he should do.
