Chapter 164: Allen

Chapter 166 Alan, the Enemy

This is not an easy task. According to the information from the French embassy, ​​the members of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe who came to London this time, men and women together, have a total of 204 people, and Alan Wilson's hands are sore. Fortunately, all the female members in the second half of the troupe made it difficult for him to persevere. He could also appreciate the looks of the female members of the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe up close, and he could not say that they were all stunning, but the female members of the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe were all tall and tall. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and it is quite atmospheric. The so-called high daughter-in-law stands in front of the door, she looks good even if she doesn't work! Just these walking hangers have already grabbed the attention before they sang. Touching these soft hands, Alan Wilson stood upright and could not embarrass the British Empire. "You?" Alan Wilson stretched out his hand with a stiff smile and looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him. Isn't this who is Furtseva? "It's you again!" Fortseva usually said to Alan Wilson, who was in front of him, in a businesslike tone, "I'm currently working in the Ministry of Culture, and this time I'm visiting London with the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe." "I'm temporarily in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Work, this time I am in charge of receiving the visit of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe." Alan Wilson glanced at the long queue passing by, this huge delegation's visit made the already poor London worse. , I will hand over the performance schedule to you. As for the hotel where I am staying, I have already arranged it, when will you give me the program list?" "The arrangement of work has its own process." Fortseva lightly parted her lips. He said with a pun, "Completely follow the rules under the circumstances of openness and transparency." Ha! Alan Wilson left the airport as if he had seen an alien and drove back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. In front of George Middleton, Director of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he vividly learned the scene of the airport, "There are more than 200 people here, so forget it, after all, in the current government's friendly welcome, it's not a big deal. But a Soviet person told me to be open and transparent, isn’t that going too far.” “Open and transparent are good words separately, but when combined with openness and transparency, there is a problem in vocabulary composition. Double affirmation is followed by negation. ." George Middleton said with a smile after listening, "We can be open or transparent, not to mention that we would have done it in the first place, Alan, you won't have any complaints about this job?" "Absolutely not. Alan Wilson's answer was unequivocal, with an unquestioning tone, "I am a true socialist like the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary." "Oh?" George Middleton laughed, his eyes full of me Trust your look. "Of course, life is a process of continuous learning, and no one can guarantee that the current idea is correct. In a different environment, there may be different thinking." Alan Wilson showed a flexible bottom line. "I believe that before the next general election, you must be a true socialist." George Middleton gave an affirmative answer. In the final analysis, the affairs officer must implement the politician's decision-making. Now that the Labour government is expressing its détente attitude towards the Soviet Union, the diplomats of the Foreign Office are all true socialists. Once the Conservatives make a comeback, they too can become true Conservatives, for and against, and vetoing themselves is part of the job. Civil servants are not politicians. Naturally, they don't need to set up people if they don't show their faces. They won't go all the way to the dark. "We also have to be careful, don't let the Soviets grab the handle." George Middleton returned to the topic, "In terms of safety work, we must also cooperate with other departments." "I'll go to Guy Liddell to see Are there any arrangements over there?" Alan Wilson nodded and said, "No surprise, there must be a lot of noise in the newspapers." "There is no way. Citizens hope that the country's external attitude will be as tough as possible. But the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just the opposite. , full of compromises, I hope the news of the Kra Isthmus can keep citizens happy for a while." George Middleton said helplessly, looking at Alan Wilson, who was about to get ready again. Guy Liddell is the deputy director general of MI5, responsible for the security of the Red Flag troupe's arrival in London. Because of different majors, Alan Wilson still has some places to consult with the other party. "Is it necessary to closely monitor the Soviets to ensure that they are not in contact with ordinary British citizens." Alan Wilson held a notebook, ready to record Guy Liddell's words. "Ellen, we are a democratic country." Guy Liddell gestured to stop and said calmly, "Just take basic security. The current British Empire seems to be as well. There is nothing worth peeping at, we are running a rationing system like the Soviet Union." Putting away the notes without a trace, Alan Wilson said lightly, "I believe everything is temporary, it is nothing more than a matter of passing on contradictions, which Similar to surgery, it is to turn our problem into the problem of the entire British Empire, and then remove the diseased area. Although there may be some losses, for the sake of the overall situation, someone has to sacrifice. It is better to sacrifice local citizens. Sacrificing others." "This is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Or the Ministry of Indian Affairs, I have no right to interfere." Guy Liddell crossed his fingers and calculated, "It is a theater that needs to perform in the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, and retain some basic strength. That's it. No need for other work." "It's that simple?" Alan Wilson's mouth twitched, no wonder Britain was infiltrated into a sieve. Not to mention the Soviet Union, it is estimated that the United States also knows all about London’s movements. “I thought we needed to take some measures, such as surveillance or something. Many newspapers have various stories to promote the work of the five offices?” "The usual work is very boring. The so-called legendary stories you say are only seen in newspapers." Guy Liddell shrugged. "Citizens are attracted by these fictional stories, and there is nothing I can do." Understand, it's like Ximen Chuixue said, "Can't a hero be bald? A master doesn't have to be so handsome, it's just wishful thinking of you as a citizen." Fortunately, Alan Wilson still looks like this The appearance of the enemy, ran to the Thames Building here to ask how to deal with it. "Our main job is to take precautions in terms of non-governmental exchanges, such as the list of exchanges between the government and the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. By the way, Alan, take a look. You are the representative of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. If there is anything wrong You can keep in touch with the five places." Guy Liddell took out a list of British performers who participated in this time with the Soviet Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. Alan Wilson took it and looked down, his eyes stopped for a moment on Vivien Leigh's name. Vivien Leigh was already well-known in 1945 and was undoubtedly the representative of British female actors. Vivien's figure is not outstanding, with average stature, a more average head and body ratio, and a pair of big hands, all of which make her very dissatisfied. There is a saying that she likes to wear gloves to cover her big hands. But all these shortcomings are worthless in front of the face value. Churchill said that Vivien Leigh's face is the masterpiece of God. Before the war, Vivien Leigh asked her American agent, Myron Selznick, to recommend her to the producers. Selznick watched Vivien Leigh in "Holocaust" and "Oxford," making her one of the key candidates. In the end, Vivien Leigh **** hundreds of actresses, including heavyweights such as Pauline Goldstein, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis, to win Scarlett O'Hara character of. In the film Mrs. Hamilton, Vivien Leigh spreads her influence to the United States, as well as the Soviet Union. With this list of exchanges in the entertainment industry, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Alan Wilson left the Thames Building and made an agreement with Guy Liddell to attend the concert of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe together. "It's also a rare opportunity. I'll definitely go and see it. I heard that this song and dance troupe is very popular in Paris." Guy Liddell nodded and agreed. For this one from the Soviet Union, this mysterious country came to London The Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe, he was also very curious. It's not just Guy Liddell, Alan Wilson, aristocrats and celebrities in the upper class of London who are curious, down to ordinary citizens, all of them are eagerly looking forward to the performance of the Red Flag Song and Dance Troupe. In such a diligent and thrifty environment after the war, scalpers appeared because of the arrival of the Hongqi Song and Dance Troupe. It can be seen that even in difficult times, difficulties have to be divided. Alan Wilson has seen this in Vienna and Berlin. Most people are hungry and work hard to get enough food, but there is such a group of people whose quality of life remains the same at all times. From a national level, of course, the UK is very difficult now, but it does not mean that the UK lacks rich people. Not only is there no shortage, but there are also many. If there is Sir Barron of New Delhi at this time, such a reasonable boss, Alan Wilson is ready to take action with the Soviets to cut leeks under the tacit consent of his boss. What a pity! Alan Wilson expressed regret to the head of the ensemble, Alexander Alexandrov, and Fortseva. If he returns to New Delhi, he should really consider inviting the Red Flag ensemble to visit British India. Of course, this premise must be that London decides to let India become independent, or even after British India is in chaos. "Is there Vivien Leigh on the list? When will we be able to see him?" Fortseva looked at the list of show business people used for communication, she was rarely excited, and she was full of longing for the next itinerary.
