"When I have time, I often come here and treat it as if it were my home. Oh Alan, don't always express the so-called kindness. Sending Alan Wilson to the door, Edwina Ashley whispered a command, but finally said something that had no beginning or end.

"Huh?" Alan Wilson frowned, savoring Edwina Ashley's words, as if there was something wrong, and as if there was nothing?

"This guy!" Edwina Ashley pursed her lips and shook her head, her eyes full of pity and thought, "Maybe I'm still in the dark, and I don't know how deeply I image myself in Paris." ”

Because the Princes came to power, the current Secretary of State for India has of course also changed, and the current Secretary of State for India is Lord Peswick-Lawrence, but Peswick Lawrence did not become the Secretary of State for India because of his knowledge of British Indian affairs.

On the contrary, Peswick Lawrence was a well-known women's movement activist who inspired the women's liberation movement. How politically correct the background is, in Alan Wilson's view, completely out of step with colonial things.

But this is democracy, and a person who is a passionate supporter of women's emancipation can also become a minister for Indian affairs.

Leaving the Department of Indian Affairs, Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building again, and Alexander Cadogan, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was not seen at all, with an expression that you could be regarded as coming, "Alan, you are coming back to graduate, I think about it, I may have to receive a medal, and then prepare to leave for New Delhi, right?" ”

"Uh, can I say that right?" Alan Wilson's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd.

"That's right, I'm about to leave for San Francisco to lead the professional civil servants of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and leave a strong mark when the United Nations officially signs it." Alexander Cadogan first expressed his longing for the San Francisco conference, and then changed his words, "I have to say that during the end of the war, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was even more busy than during the war. During the war, I didn't feel the need to expand the size of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but now I have the idea. ”

Is this to expand the scope of recruitment? Alan Wilson asked himself, even if he had this kind of thought, it was quite normal.

Politicians often make good promises at election time, such as downsizing departments. But the head of the civil service always wants his department to be as big as possible, and it is only natural for Alexander Cadogan, as the head of the civil service in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to have this idea.

However, Alan Wilson guessed wrong, Alexander Cadogan just expressed his hope that Alan Wilson would help him to juggle the personal affairs of graduation and the official business of receiving foreign guests, because he had done similar work before.

"Receiving foreign guests?" Alan Wilson asked suspiciously, "Sir Alexander, I'm going back to New Delhi." And when have I ever done something like this? ”

"Oh, Alan. You have to receive a medal and do a graduation thesis. It's not a big deal to receive foreign guests again. This also shows that the empire values you, and you must know that the busier the civil servant, the higher the status. Alexander Cadogan exhorted, "For example, I am busy with the affairs of the United Nations right now, which you cannot understand. ”

Maybe I really can't understand how hard it takes you to prepare a UN statement for a month!

The office door was pushed open, and a man with Mediterranean hair walked in, very surprised that Alan Wilson was here, took a deep look and then seemed to remember something, and took the initiative to greet him, "Ellen?" ”

This time when he returned to London, Alan Wilson had the illusion that he seemed to be well-known, and said hesitantly, "Dear sir, may I ask you, who are you?" ”

"Alexander's colleague!" George Middleton, director of the personnel department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, snorted and learned the ins and outs from Alexander Cadogan, nodded and asked Alan Wilson to sit down, and said with a gentle expression, "Allen, in fact, with the current situation, we can say that the existence of the Indian Affairs Department is still unknown, I think you are a smart person, in order to better serve the British Empire in the future, you should always be brave and take responsibility and train to become a seasoned diplomat." ”

"Once the Indian Ministry is abolished, you will be able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as you wish, right?"

Is this a threat? Alan Wilson asked himself, as if the foreign affairs director did have such a little meaning.

"I've always had a passion for my work, and I can do whatever the Empire needs me." Alan Wilson had a sincere smile on his face and said that he was happy to take responsibility and used to take responsibility.

"You won't be reluctant, will you?" George Middleton asked knowingly, "Our Foreign Office has always been very democratic. ”

"Absolutely not reluctantly." Alan Wilson's answer was categorical, fully demonstrating the professionalism of the Imperial civil servant, and George Middleton nodded approvingly, letting the next stack of papers leave Alexander Cadogan's office.

Who makes the family in charge of personnel, people have to bow their heads under the roof, Alan Wilson understands this truth.

The director of the personnel department, first of all, has two rights to make people only smile, to implement the imperial civil service system, responsible for the position classification, examination and recruitment, assessment, promotion and promotion of imperial civil servants, rewards and punishments, salary and benefits, retirement and retirement, power protection, etc.

The second is to carry out a certain level of civil servant management and appointment and dismissal; administrative personnel and professional and technical personnel of macro-management institutions; Responsible for the evaluation of professional and technical positions in enterprises and institutions.

"George was joking with you." Alexander Cadogan showed his broad mind in a timely manner, and with someone slapping him, he could give a sweet date, "Regardless of whether the Ministry of Indian Affairs exists or does not exist in the future, and no matter how long it exists, in the days to come, there will definitely be many colleagues from the Ministry of Indian Affairs who will work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which Alan can rest assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs talents like you." ”

"That's right, I'm going to San Francisco in the middle of the month to sign the UN documents, and I don't need to say it, Alan, you also understand what an important stage this is, and nothing can distract me at this time." Alexander Cadogan said about his own itinerary and said that the event was of great significance.

Alan Wilson nodded, remembering that Alexander Cadogan seemed to be the British ambassador to the United Nations later.

But at this time, the Alexander Red Banner Song and Dance Troupe, which is visiting Paris, will be in London in the middle of the month. Both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary attach great importance to this. But the affairs of the United Nations cannot be delayed. I needed a diplomat who had dealt with the Soviets to take care of the reception. Alexander Cadogan hinted, "He had to have great energy, quick thinking, and most importantly, reliability." ”

When Alan Wilson heard this, he carefully recalled his work in recent months, and it seemed that he had heard the evaluation of reliability more than once, and it seems that in the civil service, the top evaluation is not professionalism and style, but reliability.

"I'm sure I'll be very reliable in getting the job done." Alan Wilson also gave a solid answer.

"Very well, by the way, let's go to MI6 and receive the medal. I'll arrange your graduation. Alexander Cadogan's mouth was full of relief, and he said with an expression that I am very optimistic about you.

With the end of the war, the ceremony of awarding meritorious personnel in wartime was also put on the agenda, and the award had nothing to do with Alan Wilson, but he had a medal to receive for providing important information about Pearl Harbor.

Because it is an outstanding achievement on the secret front, in order to hide merit and fame, it is necessary to take into account a certain degree of secrecy, and the place where Alan Wilson receives the medal is MI6.

When Alan Wilson arrived at MI6, there were also several people waiting, chatting or being silent alone, including a man who did not look very old, sitting quietly in a chair.

Seeing that the people gathered were in full swing and might not be able to interject when they went, Alan Wilson sat down next to the man who looked a little isolated, and introduced himself, "Alan Wilson, is Mr. here to receive the medal too?" ”

"Yes, you too? Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Alan Matheson Turing. Turing stretched out his hand and said in a friendly manner, "I'll just call you Wilson, it's a bit strange to call yourself by your own name." ”

"Turing!" When Alan Wilson called Turing's name, there was some trilling in his voice, is this a famous figure, the father of computers?

After the outbreak of World War II, Turing enlisted in the army and began to serve in the intelligence center, where his main task was to decipher German codes. The intelligence he deciphered played a key role in important military operations such as the Normandy landings.

After the famous German cipher system Ingmar entered the war, the German submarine force equipped with Ingmar sank more than 1,000 Allied ships in total, and because it could not decipher the German code in a short time, the Allied military supply lines in the North Atlantic faced a catastrophe.

It would be a pity that such a genius committed suicide just because of gender issues. Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the other side was a comrade, he did not show discrimination.

There's nothing to be afraid of, the two comrades of the Cambridge Five, Alan Wilson have seen it, as long as it doesn't bother him, there will be no problem. Maybe something similar will happen when a country goes downhill, and a computer genius will be forced to commit suicide because of this kind of thing.

Alan Wilson couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, and chatted with Turing, who talked about cracking Ingmar as if he had become a different person, and the quiet just now.

"Oh, forgot, Wilson, how did you get the Japanese intel on it." Turing asked with interest.

Celestial induction! Alan Wilson wanted to say this, but no one believed it, only that it was discovered by chance through intelligence agents, and it was incomparable to Turing.
