British Civil Servant

"At least so far, the British are doing fairly well." Because of his height, Charles de Gaulle was unwilling to stand and talk to others in order to show respect for others. He took a sip of water and sat down immediately, "I hope the British People can also understand the current situation, at least the current decision is the same as mine, the short-term threat of France is Germany, the long-term threat may be the Soviet Union, but this long-term threat may not necessarily be expressed in the form of war.”

"I'm afraid that the current British, because of Chamberlain's mistakes, have gone to the other side, exaggerated the threat of the Soviet Union, become neurotic, and surrendered the interests of Europe. The Soviet Union is certainly a threat, but the Americans The same is not credible. For example, in Vietnam, the Americans gave our rights to surrender to the Chinese.”

After listening to de Gaulle's words, George Pidour nodded, expressing his agreement with de Gaulle's idea, "Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, the threat to the colonies in our hands is the same. In the short term, the Soviet Union cannot project its power overseas, but the United States Humans have this ability, and the British made the right judgment at a critical moment this time."

"The key is what role Germany has in it." Charles de Gaulle opened his mouth, and he had no good solution on how to face Germany, "Everyone has to admit that the possibility of Germany joining the Soviet is not entirely impossible. , but it is so small that it is not necessary from a practical point of view to consider it. This is first of all because the contemptuous hatred that separates the Germans from the Slavs has a long The closeness, and the sincerity of the Germans towards the British, although this sincerity may not always be rewarded with sympathy, suggests that Britain and America are inclined towards Germany."

"Besides this, all the signs of strength and wealth that one can see, through the treatment of prisoners of war, the conduct of the occupying forces, etc., have also in the minds of the Germans put them across the English Channel. The kind of cross-border envy that our distant relatives have always held has been greatly deepened."

"George, if Germany is eventually Sovietized, we can conclude that France cannot remain in this situation, and will inevitably become the next after Germany. So we also hope that Germany can withstand the Soviet Union and become an outpost to protect Europe. , but the Germans are distant relatives of Britain and the United States, and they have hatred with us, and this problem is too difficult to solve."

When it comes to how to get along with Germany, Charles de Gaulle is also full of sighs. Most of the opinions within the French provisional government are to take revenge against Germany. Even de Gaulle is not willing to hold any objection, which will isolate him.

But the consequences of retaliation against Germany may lead Germany to the Soviets, although this is unlikely. ; Another possibility is that Britain and the United States will exclude the influence of France in the German-occupied areas, but this possibility is very large.

No matter which outcome appears, it will be unfavorable to the long-term development of France. Britain and Germany have a sense of closeness in national feelings. France wants to compete for influence, and it is still too difficult for this kind of intimacy.

So de Gaulle always tried his best to speak for Italy, anyway, Italy is also a part of Latin civilization. For this reason, when Britain proposed to let Spain join the Brussels conference, France did not firmly oppose it.

Italy and Spain are both allies of France to maintain its influence. Of course, France can only do this now. Medieval Poland has proved that it is not a good idea to repeatedly jump between two powerful enemies.

Between the United Kingdom and the United States and the Soviet Union, if France wants to go its own way, it must be the fate of Poland.

Fortunately, the United Kingdom seems to be more sincere now. From resolutely supporting France as a permanent member, to fighting for the right of France to station troops in Germany, the current United Kingdom is still more credible.

As the leaders of the French interim government negotiated with the foreign minister, the tough-and-tough approach to Spain continued.

If someone interviews Alan Wilson, who worked hard for the British Empire in 1945, but can only look at the United States and the Soviet Union, is it a hellish task?

Alan Wilson would have denied it in his heart, better than serving France in 1945. At least on the colonial issue, although France's internal political situation is unstable, it will step down at every turn, but the colonial issue is still the same.

It is the UK that seems to be politically stable. If Alan Wilson is a Frenchman, he will be really desperate, because the pig teammate of the UK is completely untrustworthy.

When Churchill came to power for the second time, he also felt that the United Kingdom had the strength to play the three-ring diplomacy and became the link between the British Commonwealth, the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, even British India had been independent for several years. Churchill also believed that the United Kingdom had the strength to become the mainland. A balanced balancer.

When Churchill's successor, Aiden, was prime minister, the Suez War was defeated, and France finally understood that Britain was no longer reliable.

At that time, it was too late for the UK to take the initiative, and France had repeatedly refused to allow the UK to join the European Community.

In 1945, the conditions in Britain were actually much better than those in France. As long as they were willing to put down their face, it would be easy to set up a European Community with a dual core of Britain and France. The UK's right to speak in it would definitely be heavier than that of France. The European Community, supplemented by France, is foreseeable.

Along with Nino Bertrand, Alan Wilson, who was intimidating the Spanish representative, launched a baiting offensive after the French showed a tough attitude, saying that Europe still welcomes Spain's contribution.

"I will report the situation here truthfully to General Franco." Inspired by the brilliance of the two colonial empires, Manuel Martin was very grateful to Britain and France for disregarding the past.

"This is an opportunity for Spain to re-enter the international community." Alan Wilson said slowly, "Of course, the premise is that Spain will make a strong make up for the previous damage to Europe. At this time, the opportunity has come. , I hope Spain can seize this opportunity, otherwise, the goodwill of Britain and France will be wasted.”

Today, Britain and France are also big countries with global influence. In other parts of the world, if they are not on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union, they are still very tyrannical.

Obviously, in front of Spain, the ancestors have a lot of face in England and France, who have not taken off their underpants yet.

Manuel Martin even has a heavy responsibility in his heart, whether Spain can break through the diplomatic dilemma of total isolation, this hope falls on himself.

Regardless of the Spanish representative who had a lot of internal drama, Alan Wilson left the Spanish delegation's residence with Nino Bertrand directly after the effect. He moved his somewhat stiff arms. Recently, he has indeed been working at full power. Also a little tired.

It is necessary to open the meeting to show hypocrisy, and to operate behind the scenes to show the domineering power of the old imperialists. It is not possible for everyone to be duplicitous, especially with the French representative next to them, which consumes the most saliva.

"Ellen, are you tired?" Nino Bertrand asked with concern, "Actually, at the beginning of the meeting, I still had some doubts about you, but you changed my mind."

"Do I know Mr. Nino?" Alan Wilson asked inexplicably. People can't be biased, right? The two sides don't know each other, so why do the French have doubts about themselves when they come up? Just because I'm British?

"Uh, it's nothing." Nino Bertrand hesitated, wanting to ask, have you ever stood on the streets of Paris with impassioned speech without backache, and even appeared in a British newspaper?

It can be imagined that this is not a glorious thing after all, Nino Bertrand still did not ask, he could only say, "You are different from ordinary British diplomats. You seem to be very enthusiastic about your current work."

"Of course, I'm a European." Alan Wilson stood upright and said proudly, "But it is true that many people in China have doubts about Britain's initiative to intervene in Europe, which goes against tradition."

Tradition? Nino Bertrand's face changed, and it can be said that the biggest victim of the British tradition of Europe is France. A long illness has turned into a good doctor, and France is the country that has the most thorough understanding of Britain's diplomatic philosophy.

"It turned out to be the European faction!" Nino Bertrand's tone was more perfunctory and perfunctory, just because of the French accent, it was not heard by Alan Wilson, "I don't know Alan's opinion on a united Europe. Any ideas."

"The greatest bond of unity is the colonies!" Alan Wilson looked at the distance between the representatives of the Netherlands and Portugal, and said in a low voice, "Actually, Spain can be used as a breakthrough point to form a joint foreign legion, the European Foreign Legion."

"This is London's idea." Nino Bertrand moved in his heart and hurriedly asked, "I don't know how many London supporters are?" :(/

"Oh, my friend, it's a French idea," said Alan Wilson without a trace of responsibility. "How can there be such a whimsical idea among the English. If anyone brings it up, they'll be laughed at. But if If the French make this suggestion, it must be taken seriously, because it is a diplomatic issue and must be taken seriously.”

Nino Bertrand stood in Yun Ai's moment, savoring Alan Wilson's words carefully, and finally smiled, "Actually, France has always had similar ideas, and has always wanted to put it up at this meeting."

"Oh, right? It seems that the British Empire has to consider this issue carefully." Alan Wilson moved his stiff neck in surprise and said, "Go and talk to the Belgians, it's probably easier to deal with than Spain. ."
