Chapter 1167 Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet

The photos taken passed through a series of mature and responsible checkpoints and were finally sent to the Ministry of Defense. What exactly was in the photos also aroused discussion at the Pentagon. In principle, it was very similar to ballistics, but out of caution, Many people don't believe it.

"It has to be determined whether it was a nuclear weapon or not, and if it wasn't, a mistake in judgment would just be a mistake."

Whether the photos taken are of nuclear missiles, some people think they are, others think they are not. The final step is to determine whether it is a nuclear weapon. Before that, if it takes hasty action, the Pentagon will be criticized.

If Alan Wilson were here, he might express his appreciation for this mature and responsible attitude. Whitehall needs these talents, and dares to cover up such a thing? How else could the United States catch up from behind and become better than its predecessors?

It's a pity that he is not available. The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has returned from vacation, is bathing in the holy light of supreme authority. As the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet and the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he meets his colleagues and takes the next step in his life. An important step.

Theoretically speaking, Alan Wilson, who is thirty-five years old, is already the second brick in the cornerstone of the British Empire. From now on, he has to think about a more macro level, mostly for Britain with its own national conditions, millions of Contribute your abilities to the issues related to the food and clothing of the water workers. .

"Alan, your authority is close to that of the Cabinet Secretary." Burke Trend was unwilling to give in. He also carried a gun and a stick when congratulating him. He was so young and already on an equal footing with himself.

Naturally, there is only one Cabinet Secretary-General, but there is more than one Deputy Cabinet Secretary-General, just like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only has one Permanent Under-Secretary, but there are also Permanent Under-Secretaries.

Sometimes, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also translated as the Permanent Deputy Minister by other countries. Of course, Alan Wilson does not recognize this title. We, the British, have our own national conditions here.

Burke Trend was obviously provoking trouble and expressed his jealousy. Alan Wilson naturally responded calmly, "Burke, I believe all colleagues know in their hearts that there is no such thing. There are people in Whitehall." There is only one supreme authority. This is a fact visible to the naked eye. You and I are just contributing our abilities to barely maintain the operation of the government."

There is only one supreme authority, and we recognize no one except Norman Brooke...

On the big day, Alan Wilson would not waste words with Burke Trend, expressing his usual generosity.

This magnanimity is equivalent to providing Ukraine with all support except sending troops, and it is better to turn it into a quagmire with Russia.

In fact, what does Burke Trend have to complain about? Alan Wilson also met all the criteria for a cabinet secretary, for example, he was male, born in England, and had sufficient academic qualifications.

As for other minor issues, such as his father-in-law being Mountbatten, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces, and his wife being the richest man in the UK, the jewel in the eye and spiritual leader of the aristocracy, they have nothing to do with this promotion. Although the Mountbatten Group has prepared the directors of the Mountbatten Group.

As we all know, Alan Wilson is just a son-in-law, how can he deserve such special attention?

He hoped that Burke Trend could accept the reality. In terms of ability, the other party was definitely not inferior to him.

It won't take long, maybe history will show nuances, and it's not sure when the opportunity will appear, but as long as the Cuban Missile Crisis occurs, he will be able to prove this, his ability is far beyond Burke Trend.

"Allen, Burke, what are you talking about?" Norman Brooke used his Level 10 communicative skills to ask between the two highly optimistic Whitehall talents, avoiding possible conflicts.

"Dear Sir, Burke is congratulating me, which is really happy." Alan Wilson replied with a humble smile, "We are a warm family, and every colleague is so united and joins hands. He keeps moving forward without any jealousy or embarrassment, and he is responsible for the country and his duties, which is touching."

Norman Brook glanced at Burke Trend and nodded casually, "Only in this way can a reliable government be passed down from generation to generation."

"We toast to Sir Reliable." Alan Wilson took the whiskey and summoned his colleagues to toast Norman Brooke.

Alan Wilson felt a heavy responsibility. He actually did not expect that he would face an important step in his life when the Cuban Missile Crisis was not yet a shadow. Became Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet.

Of course, he has not been deprived of his part-time jobs. He is still the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Secretary-General of the Joint Intelligence Committee, Secretary-General of the Shipbuilding Committee, Secretary-General of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, etc...

But now that he has reached this point, he can only contribute his own strength and do his best for the development of Britain. His adjustments to the UK will also slowly expand from the diplomatic field to other departments.

The so-called adjustment in the diplomatic field is actually very simple to say. It is nothing more than a matter of pro-American diplomats stepping aside.

With Alan Wilson's position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is very simple to achieve this. In the special relationship between Britain and the United States, older diplomats wait for the other party to retire and resolutely stick to the bottom line in terms of age.

For young diplomats, it is difficult to get promoted. As we all know, diplomacy is still a job of using words. Many diplomats are not qualified in this regard. Even if they are qualified, there are always areas where they are unqualified.

No one can avoid making mistakes at work. Even as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes. It is just that he is the number one figure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and no one will come to trouble him.

But this does not mean that others can do this. In order to improve the ability and development of the British diplomatic team, some diplomats who have made mistakes must be punished appropriately. It is not that there are no such positions, such as the Commissioner of Jamaica.

This is all to train talents. When doing these things, the deputy secretary-general is completely selfless and dedicated to me, Daying. If you can't pass this not-so-harsh test, how can you still fight for the country?

In fact, this is the same as when his father-in-law Mountbatten promoted officers of noble origin. There is no fairness or unfairness. People must live more realistically. Officers of noble origin gave up their own wealth to serve the country. Shouldn't they be promoted quickly? Some?

Speaking of which, there are not many nobles in the UK. There are only more than a thousand hereditary nobles, and less than 3,000 including barons.

In terms of family status, most nobles are just middle-class families. Although they have some real estate, and with the leadership of Pamela Mountbatten, the adventurous people have some industries in Western Australia.

It is undeniable that officers from these families will definitely be more loyal.

Of course, it is not possible to achieve this just by relying on Mountbatten in the army. It also requires the support of capital. Alan Wilson has tried his best through his wife over the years to reverse the free fall of the aristocratic class that has become more and more embarrassed in modern times.

The bourgeoisie forced the aristocrats to lose more and more power. In essence, they still relied on the word bourgeoisie.

During World War II, the British bourgeoisie was also severely damaged by the war, and in a sense, its lead over the aristocracy became smaller.

At this time, Alan Wilson needs to brainstorm to balance the balance of power in the UK. He himself fully supported the Labor Party's ideas, but most of the nobles were in the Conservative Party, and that was her wife's job.

Each of the couple is responsible for one, which is very fair and in line with the traditional British offshore balance.

In a sense, one of the main reasons why the British nobles went to the battlefield in World War I was to reverse the declining class. Things are different now. Pamela Mountbatten made everyone rich in exchange for noble children joining the army. The steps are different, but the effect is similar.

To celebrate her husband's further progress, Pamela Mountbatten cooked with great interest and waited for her husband to return.

"This kind of treatment is not what ordinary people can expect." Ellen Wilson looked astonished as if the sun had risen from the west. The richest woman in the world cooked the food herself. Isn't this a small blessing?

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether the food is delicious or not, the main thing is that this thought is worth being grateful for.

After devouring the meal, Alan Wilson relished it. It was not as bad as he thought, and he said vaguely, "I am very happy to be able to enjoy my wife's craftsmanship. Don't do this next time. My fingers will be burned and blistered."

"It's okay." The love in Pamela Mountbatten's eyes was so strong that she lowered her head and whispered in a low voice, "I am your wife. These are what I should do."

"Even if you sit there quietly and don't move, you will still make me happy." Alan Wilson's expression remained unchanged, and he wiped the potato cake at the corner of his mouth with a piece of paper. In addition to wanting to drink some water, he also wanted to drink some water. There are no other extravagant requirements.

As an adult, his appetite is not small. If he works hard, he can get rid of unpalatable food. If he doesn't eat it, his children will be the victims.

Being promoted to Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet did not bring much change to my life, Alan Wilson.

The Cabinet Office at No. 70 in Whitehall is not far from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it doesn't take too long to walk. However, sometimes taking into account the dignity of the government, it is necessary to take a car to cover such a short distance.

He just had to spare some time, or Norman Brooke would go there when he needed to. For a time management guru, this is not a big problem.

For Whitehall, things are still the same, some commonplace issues, such as whether the imperial system should be firmly retained or whether it should be paralleled. In fact, the introduction of such issues will only cause short-term inconvenience, but in the scope of Whitehall, it will be enough to discuss for twenty years. .

Alan Wilson is living a boring life after being promoted. In the distant Caribbean, the American reconnaissance force began to conduct an all-round exploration of Cuba.
