British Civil Servant

"I also learned patience from this unexpected incident." After a habit of flattering first, Alexander Cadogan said as if he had remembered something, "It seems that Alan's luck is really good. free from punishment."

"From the point of view of his return to London and the work he has carried out, he is indeed overly busy. It is only good to be young, and he has endless energy." Edward Bridges smiled, a little envious. Said, "It's only been a long time, and I've almost traveled all over the territory of the Allied Forces. Of course, the more things are done, the greater the possibility of mistakes."

The more you do, the more you go wrong. This is true in London too, and Edward Bridges has been in the civil service for many years, and it is clear to him.

"Young people always have some ideals, as long as such ideals are not dangerous." Alexander Cadogan said aside.

"Ideal? Ah, of course it's very important!" Edward Bridges almost made a slip of the tongue to tell the truth, but he continued, "Alan was taken abroad by old Wilson very early, and it is possible that he was exposed to some outdated ideas. Not for nothing. But it's very reassuring so far that the experience of British India didn't come for nothing."

Colonial civil servants are an important part of the British Empire's civil service system. Who made the British Empire a colonial empire, not to mention others, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Cadogan, next to him, is a representative of the colonial civil servants.

Among the colonial civil servants, British Indian civil servants were the largest group among them. The 100,000 civil servants and their families in British India were not even smaller than the local civil servants, and the number was close to half of the local civil servants.

If it weren't for the important group of civil servants in British India, Sir Barron would not have been particularly valued by Edward Bridges. It is not that he has a special preference for Sir Barron, but that whoever holds the position of cabinet secretary will do so. make the same choice.

As far as Alan Wilson's mistakes are concerned, Edward Bridges, from his recent report, is nothing more than too energetic. He was eager to make progress when he first arrived in Europe, and there was a certain negligence.

This is all forgivable. It is impossible to say that it is intentional, but it is not impossible to have some secret operations with Ali Khan, the monarch of Hyderabad, because from the perspective of the grain that arrived in Hamburg, Alan Wilson should It is somewhere that is helping Ali Khan to do something.

This discussion determined that Alan Wilson was not affected by the refugee crossing this time. The Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have decided that this is an unpredictable isolated incident. No one wants to see such a thing happen, but it can only be faced calmly.

The British Empire is not responsible for this matter. This is the problem of the United States, and the Soviet Union can reserve the right to pursue it. But the British Empire is willing to work for it, so that the united allies don't blame each other for it.

As for Alan Wilson's decision, he will continue to keep in touch with the United States to assist in the follow-up.

"It's not good!" Alan Wilson felt a little embarrassed after being called by Alexander Cadogan.

What's the difference between this and letting the wolf watch the flock? In fact, he understands the consequences of refugees crossing the border, and his heart is like a mirror.

It is precisely because he understands the consequences of this incident that he does this. On the one hand, it arouses the hostility of the Soviet Union. But it seems to have no effect. The Soviet Union has received news that it will protest at the Potsdam Conference.

On the other hand, it will be the problem of Yugoslavia, which has such a strong group of opponents abroad. Whether Tito is willing or not, he must move closer to the Soviet Union.

There is only one reason for this, the current Soviet Union is still too weak, and the original Cold War confrontation in Europe, the Soviet camp was indeed surrounded by the US camp, and even if Yugoslavia joined the Warsaw Pact, it would only equalize the geographical disadvantage.

This will give the Soviet Union a channel to enter the Mediterranean Sea. Strictly speaking, it has not been fully leveled. After all, Yugoslavia, facing Italy under the influence of the United States, is as embarrassing as the Soviet Union in the Baltic Sea.

The Soviet Union did not show great hostility. It just wanted to talk about negotiating at the Potsdam Conference. Although this would be an excuse for the Soviet Union to launch an attack at the conference, the London side was relieved that the conference was held as scheduled.

July 5th is the British general election. If the Potsdam Conference cannot be held as scheduled, it may have an important impact on this election. However, Alan Wilson, who knows history, estimates that the Potsdam Conference will not save Churchill.

This general election in history is not a close election at all. It can be said that the Conservative Party lost its underpants and was beaten all the way by the Labour Party. Even if the Potsdam Conference has been held earlier than history, the Conservative Party will not be able to save it.

Alan Wilson, who was not affected, was writing a report to London, and naturally he repeated the statement about the cabinet secretary and the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that this was an isolated incident.

Then he mentioned the preparations for the Potsdam Conference and the attitude of the Soviet Union to ensure that the conference can be carried out as scheduled. For this reason, Alexander Cadogan, Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has completed the communication with the Soviet Union.

This time the Yugoslav refugee cross-border incident, the Soviet Union has maintained amazing restraint. The United Kingdom certainly welcomes this. In addition to Yugoslav Tito's discomfort, the other country that suffers is the United States.

In Washington, the capital of the United States, the new owner of the White House, Truman, who took over as president after Roosevelt's death, was frowning at the telegram sent by Eisenhower.

At the important moment when the Potsdam Conference was about to be held, such a problem was created among the countries.

"General Patton showed undisguised hostility to the Soviet Union, and many former German soldiers gathered around him." Looking at General Eisenhower's narration in the telegram, Truman fell into deep thought.

The biggest problem in front of us now is to let the Soviets join the war against Japan and completely defeat the last resistance country of the Axis powers. Truman will not give a good face to anyone who violates this premise, and this is his first The second time I went abroad to attend an important international conference, I almost got spoiled.

This must not be tolerated! Truman made an important decision to dismiss General Patton, and the telegram quickly reached Europe and reached Eisenhower. Barton will never be the last to experience the ruthlessness shown by Truman. Truman, who defeated Dewey a few years later, will also be experienced by Chang Gong.
