Killing all the Cambridge Five Masters in exchange for the rank of entry, Alan Wilson didn't think so, and he was not very poor. It would be nice to have some room for upside, but given the age, that doesn't seem to be much hope.

He is such a realistic person, he will not do such a risky thing until he sees the benefits.

So for the Cambridge Five, a batch of masterpieces in the history of the Soviet KGB, he just wants to get in touch with it at present.

His only communication with Philby was that he had lived in British India for a while, and he had to think of a way to do it.

After returning to London, Alan Wilson actually had a very complicated heart, anti-Soviet in the British civil service is naturally politically correct, and people like the Cambridge Five Heroes who have a good impression of the Soviet Union are very rare.

His idea is more special, anti-Soviet is for vital interests, but while anti-Soviet, he is also anti-American.

After the end of the war, it seemed that the empire on which the sun never set had to give way to the United States and the Soviet Union, but at this moment it was not strictly sunset, but it was already dusk, and in this process, the relationship between Britain and the United States was definitely not a special ally.

In the process of the disintegration of the empire, the United States and the Soviet Union were actually the same, and 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 people and wealth, and even if it wanted to do something, it was powerless in a short time. It will take time to digest the influence of post-war Eastern Europe, and it is not inevitable to slap each other with the United States after the sixties.

So in the early post-war period, there was no doubt that the British Empire would face the pressure of the United States, and in the colonies, Britain and France were 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 term.

After the conversation, Alan Wilson invited Philby to find a place to have a drink after work. The offer 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 and said, "As you know, there aren't many people who have civil service experience in British India, and some things are still relatively new to me when I just returned to London. ”

"I'm more than willing to help." Philby responded with the same kindness, "It's like you said, it's good to have friends to help." ”

It wasn't until Alan Wilson left the MI6 headquarters building that Philby restrained his smile and pondered for a moment before leaving.

Philby was fundamentally different from the rest of the group, and his other friends had more or less idealistic visions of the Soviet Union, but working in the intelligence service, he did not have a good fantasy about the Soviet Union. It is not believed that a country that starts all over again and establishes 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 of humanity, it is better to have one more choice than only one, just like Britain has the existence of the Conservative Party and the existence of the Labour Party, and if you look at the whole world, people can choose which system they want.

Although he served the Soviet Union, Philby did not have the simple fantasies that others had about the Soviet Union, which is one of the reasons why he was the most destructive member of the Cambridge Five.

"Back in London, I'm sure your work is being arranged. But then again, it's good that you came back sooner. If British India had to be independent, you would have faced great competition when you came back at that time. If I come back now, even if I am going to work in British India, I will not be caught off guard when the time comes. Philby, who was dragging a wine glass in his hand, carefully analyzed the pros and cons for Alan Wilson.

"Harold also thinks that British India must be independent." Alan Wilson asked rhetorically as he took a sip of whiskey.

"It's hard to keep it, and we have to pay attention to the perception of other countries. Especially the other two big players. Philby shrugged, "Do you think we can withstand the pressure from the other two countries and keep India?" ”

"It can't be with the United States!" Alan Wilson thought for a moment, and couldn't help but hang his head and said, "In fact, it is obvious now 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? That's how you met? Philby's face was cloudy, and he took a sip of his glass to hide his gaze.

"I admit you have a point." Putting down his glass, Philby agreed, "Enemies and allies are sometimes not so well defined. ”

Especially for spies! Alan Wilson raised an eyebrow, "I agree, that's right." ”

In the Foreign Affairs building in Whitehall, the Minister of Indian Affairs, Leo Emery, threw out a letter and put it in front of Foreign Secretary Robert Anthony Eden, "I want to seconded one person from the Indian Department to return to the establishment of the Indian Office for the time being, what do you think?" ”

"Leo? What's going on? Anthony Aiden scratched his head and said, "Why bother?" ”

"That's a question I want to know, too." Leo Emery sat down and smiled bitterly, "This is a letter from Mountbatten to me, except for some personal social and the current situation in British India, this is the matter. The civil servants who returned from the letter were assigned to the Indian Ministry of Affairs, but temporarily went to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this was the case. ”

"Does that count? Normal transfer! Anthony Aiden hesitated at first, but then suddenly made a sharp turn, "But then again, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs and the Ministry of Indian Affairs do much the same work, but they face different countries. I will leave this matter to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

"I don't think it's difficult, even the Prime Minister received a letter from Mountbatten. I also listened to the Cabinet Secretary! Leo Emery said in amazement, "What is the relationship between this civil servant and Mountbatten?" ”

"Could it be a son-in-law, it doesn't seem to be the right age." Anthony Aiden said with some amusement, "But the Foreign Office is very busy right now, and we can't help but listen to Mountbatten's own opinions, especially for you." ”

The Department 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 Viceroy of British India and the Indian side.

Knowing that Mountbatten had also written a letter to Prime Minister Churchill, Anthony Eden felt that he should hope that this civil servant would have a gold-plated job, not for nothing. For example, now, when Berlin is conquered, the subsequent division of some of the occupied areas will need to be done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is easy to accumulate experience in these tasks.

Anthony Eden, as Foreign Minister, now knows what he should do.
