처칠은 전쟁이 터지자 최대 정적인 애틀리를 부총리 겸 내무장관으로 끌어들였다. 회의에서 두 사람의 의견이 일치하면 곧바로 최고 작전명령이 됐다. 독일의 독재자 아돌프 히틀러보다 더 빠르고 효율적이었다. 야당이 반발하면 애틀리가 의사당으로 달려가 소속 의원들을 진정시켰다. 처칠은 회의 때마다 통계부 직원을 불러 생생한 전황도 공개했다. 영국군의 연전연패 소식은 오히려 영국인을 단결시켰다. 처칠과 애틀리는 손을 맞잡고 민심을 얻는 데 성공했다.

Whenever there was a meeting, Churchill called in a worker ⓔof the statistics department who showed the reality of the situation. The news of Britain losing battles helped ⓕBritish people unite.

When the war broke out, Churchill employed Attlee, his biggest political rival, as deputy prime minister and home secretary. When they reached an agreement in a meeting, the agreement immediately became an operational order. This was more efficient than Hitler’s system. If the opposition party resisted, Attlee ran to Parliament to calm the opposition. Whenever there was a meeting, Churchill called in a worker from the statistics department who showed the reality of the situation. The news of Britain losing battles helped them unite. Churchill and Attlee succeeded in winning the people’s hearts.

Writing Tip

ⓓ opposition members → the opposition 정관사 the로 수정하여 반대당, 즉 야당을 지칭함
ⓔ of → from 통계청 ‘출신’을 나타내는 전치사 from으로 수정

대통령 혼자 바쁘지 실무를 장악하는 한국판 맥나마라는 안 보인다. 어제 청와대를 다녀온 한나라당 대표는 “지금 문제는 속도다. 질풍노도처럼 몰아붙이고(…) 온 국토가 거대한 공사장처럼 느껴져야 한다”고 했다. 틀린 말은 아니지만 듣기 좀 거북하다. 이런 메시지가 자꾸 흘러나오면 곤란하다. 지금은 민심 결집이 전쟁의 분수령이다. 처칠처럼 워룸의 대통령 옆자리에 맨 먼저 초청할 인물은 정세균 민주당 대표나 박근혜 한나라당 전 대표가 아닐까.
