British civil servant

In the midst of much anticipation, Alan Wilson finally made his debut, came to the podium, and completed his graduation after a lapse of six years.

The group of civil servants gave warm support, showing their determination to defend the collective honor of Whitehall.

"Margaret, he is so young. I heard that if it weren't for the war, he would have become the youngest graduate of the Oriental Academy." The girl next to Margaret shook quickly after seeing Alan Wilson appear. The arm of the young Iron Lady introduced, "I have entered the Whitehall to work now, and the future development must be very good."

"To be known by the majority of subjects, being a civil servant is far from enough." Margaret shook her head slightly and said, "Let's see what he is going to say?"

"Returning to Oriental College after six years has made me feel a lot of emotion. My most direct feeling is that I can finally graduate. The war delayed the fact that I created the record of Oriental College." Alan Wilson faced the group under the podium, Show Face Proud opened in Versailles mode.

As soon as the words fell, the student group below immediately gave a warm welcome. The students always don't know that the group of high heaven and earth is so innocent and cute before they have been beaten by the society.

"As a student of Oriental College, I have been taught a lot here. When I was working abroad, I often felt nostalgic for the time when I was studying here." Alan Wilson pretended to be aggressive, and then began to get down to business, "Oriental College of Oriental Scientific research will help the local people to break out of the narrow island thinking and achieve the unique British Empire.”

"However, after two world wars, the situation has changed unexpectedly. How to safeguard the interests of the British Empire in this changing world is very important to the students of Oriental College, the world is big!" Alan Wilson Started a completely original graduation thesis speech that had nothing to do with Brzezinski.

Eurasia is the largest continent and geopolitical axis in the world.The country that dominates Eurasia will be able to control two of the three most advanced and economically developed regions in the world.

A glance at the map shows that control of Eurasia almost automatically controls Africa and makes the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent.

Eurasia has about 80.00% of the world's population.Its businesses and underground mines hold the lion's share of the world's material wealth.About three-quarters of the world's known energy resources are also in Eurasia.

"Eurasia is where most of the world's politically confident and dynamic countries are concentrated. The world's largest economic powers behind the United States are all in Eurasia. The two most populous countries in the world intend to seek regional hegemony and/or global The countries affected are also Eurasian countries. All countries that may challenge the primacy of the United States politically or economically are also Eurasian countries. The combined power of Eurasian countries far exceeds that of the United States.”

"Looking back at history, from the perspective of civilization, the countries on the Eurasian continent are the centers of civilization. History does not belong to remote island countries, such as Britain before the Industrial Revolution, and this situation is the same for the United States."

"From the perspective of the entire Eurasian continent, it is impossible for us to ignore a country. This is the Soviet Union from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Today's Soviet Union is far stronger than Imperial Russia back then. With the increase in national power, the entire Eurasian continent It has an overwhelming geographical advantage, whether people like it or not, this is an unchangeable fact."

"What position will the British Empire be in this era? To be honest, the current British Empire must let go of some outdated concepts, actively embrace Europe, and protect the core of civilization in the entire world for hundreds of years. The British Empire has leadership The role of Europe is also for a more balanced world."

"Britain has a certain sense of distance from the European continent. This is an advantage. In the long Middle Ages, Britain could avoid the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church and carry out scientific and technological innovation step by step in a relatively closed environment. Not so lucky."

"But the advantage is also a disadvantage. The advantage is that there is a certain sense of security and it is easy to check and balance. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be isolated. Today, facing the United States and the Soviet Union, the competitors facing the British Empire are different from any country in the past. In At this time, London must play a leading role, integrate European forces, and get out of the impact of the war as soon as possible."

First plagiarized Brzezinski, and then Alan Wilson's graduation speech began to rely on Churchill's third ring diplomacy when he came to power for the second time, but Alan Wilson's speech on actively intervening in the European situation was much more sincere than Churchill.

And it is more suitable for the students of the Oriental Academy. What can the students do before they have been beaten by the society?Just say, well, that makes sense!

"Well, that makes sense." Margaret, who was concentrating on listening to the graduation speech, heard the girl next to her say this, which was actually her inner thoughts.

Alan Wilson, who plagiarized the two keyboard warriors, directly became the life mentor of the students of Oriental College, and made a further step on the smooth road to success. The speech has not yet ended and has received thunderous applause.

"Well said, Alan!" The most important reason is that the Whitehall civil servants played a leading role because of their short mouths. An example of success in vain.

Alan Wilson barely left a department behind and called the imperial civil servants to the Oriental Academy.

"Thank you!" Alan Wilson looked at the applauding civil servant and smiled confidently. I know you. Last time you came to me, you stuffed two young actresses into the cultural exchange list.

With such support from colleagues, the lecturers and professors of Oriental College naturally expressed their praise without hesitation.Looking at me, Alan Wilson, who returned to the civil servant group, I started to praise half-truths and half-false.

"Alan Wilson is the pride of Oriental College. If it wasn't for the war, he would have graduated six years ago."

"We are very pleased to see that after six years, his growth is better than we expected. This is also the educational spirit that Oxford has always upheld."

The speaking professor had skimmed the subject before the Cambridge civil servant curled his lips, saying today was a good opportunity.It can shorten the communication between students and seniors who have entered the society.

Almost immediately, a group of Oriental College students enthusiastically surrounded many Whitehall civil servants, each of whom was their life mentor on the road to success.

Chapter 174 The Iron Maiden Wants to Improve

In essence, the routine of Alan Wilson's speech this time can be mutated on the short video platform as follows, "I am 20 years old, have a car and a house, and financial freedom is a successful person in the eyes of others, but just last year, I still Doing a job that pays meager monthly wages and wondering why this has changed, from…”

This starts with deceiving people from the success of sales!Alan Wilson, as a Whitehall civil servant, completed a dimensionality reduction attack on the fledgling students, learn from me, and you will succeed too.

Success is actually not difficult. As far as Alan Wilson himself is concerned, the first step to success is to dig a golden temple first!

After completing this first step, you can proceed to the next step.If you can't even take the first step, what does being unsuccessful have to do with Alan Wilson?That is a matter of your personal ability.

Compared with Alan Wilson, the Whitehall civil servant who is the king of speaking skills per capita, of course, the same is not far behind.With an unfathomable look, he said a lot, but he didn't say anything.

Compared with Alan Wilson, these Whitehall civil servants are as good as they are, and the students of Oriental College are no opponents at all.At this moment, the two girls held hands and squeezed in front of Alan Wilson and introduced themselves, "My name is Margaret, and I am the chairman of the Conservative Party we need."

"Margaret?" Alan Wilson chanted this very common name. To be honest, he only knew that the daughter of the American steel magnate was Margaret Carnegie, and he knew nothing about the name other than that.

If it weren't for being a citizen of the British Empire, if he were an American, he might have gone to Margaret Carnegie and said, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard!"

Because the two girls who came to ask for advice, Alan Wilson put on a hypocritical face again, with a very humble attitude and a good teacher, but this girl named Margaret looks a little familiar.

"Yes, your speech just now was very impressive." The young Iron Lady gave a very blunt compliment, "Actually, I have always been very interested in politics, and now I am the chairman of the Conservative Party in our school. Today this opportunity, I would very much like to..."

Alan Wilson was smiling, listening to this girl with a face full of "I want to improve too much", maintaining a hypocritical face of a life mentor from the beginning to the end, suddenly a flash of inspiration, looking at the talking girl, an image appeared in his mind .

"It can't be such a coincidence, Mrs. Thatcher?" Alan Wilson's face changed slightly. The more he looked at Margaret, the more he looked like the face of the Iron Lady, and he cursed in his heart, "The Iron Lady is a student of a college affiliated to Oxford University. !"

"The chairman of the Conservative Party." Alan Wilson said meaningfully, "This is too surprising. To be honest, there are very few girls of this age who are so interested in politics."

After all, Alan Wilson looked Margaret up and down, with straight legs without gaps, bah!

She is the future Iron Lady with the temperament of a strong woman, and the leader of the Conservative Party who has regained the glory of the British Empire.

"Yes, I am the chairman of the Conservative Party of our college." Margaret was still a little immature in this matter, and she couldn't see the meaning in her gaze just now, thinking it was just an expression of surprise, "I admire some of Mr. Allen's ideas very much. .”

"Don't call me Mr., just call me Alan. In fact, I am not old enough to calmly address Mr. Thatcher." Now that he recognized Mrs. Thatcher, Alan Wilson naturally couldn't make a mistake, even if the other party was in infancy.

And he doesn't think that Mrs. Thatcher is just stupid and sweet, and her marriage is full of the taste that I don't want to work hard.

Margaret Hilda Roberts became the youngest Conservative female candidate at the time in Dartford, which has traditionally been held by the Labor Party.

Her active participation in Conservative Party dinners in Kent brought her into the acquaintance of Denis Thatcher Thatcher, with whom she later married.Dennis was a wealthy businessman who was able to finance her admission to the Bar, and she successfully qualified as a barrister.

The importance of lawyers in the Anglo-American legal system is self-evident. With Margaret Thatcher's own family conditions, it is impossible to easily support her to realize her dream.

"Alan?" Margaret muttered, and then immediately returned to the topic, "I have always been interested in politics. Today is such a great opportunity. I really want to chat with you."

Some want to pursue progress too much?Alan Wilson put on a high profile and said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. At your age, you should work hard to prepare for the road ahead. Life is not just a smooth road. The road full of competition is full of anxiety. Margaret, are you really ready?"

At this time, Alan Wilson is really a bit of a life mentor. To the future Iron Lady, the Prime Minister of the British Empire preaches and preaches. The key is that the other party really approves and agrees very much. This is very rewarding. feel.

Through this speech, Alan Wilson successfully achieved shocking effects, such as gaining the admiration of a young iron lady, asking some questions all the time, and even taking the initiative to ask Alan Wilson to comment on himself to see if he has no development.

"Well, I have a reception with my colleagues in the evening. If you have the courage, you can come and I will give you the address." Alan Wilson thought for a while, and said with a reluctant expression, his tone was very It's like polite words.

But for the Iron Lady who wanted to improve too much, this was a dream opportunity, and Margaret readily agreed to it, even surprising her friends.

Alan Wilson turned and left, chatting and laughing with the Whitehall civil servants, the girl who came with the Iron Lady said in surprise, "Margaret, you won't really go, will you? Isn't it too good?"

"What's wrong, I'm an adult now. And these people are people with status and status." Margaret was full of the air that I wanted to improve too much, and turned a deaf ear to her friend's persuasion. "From these people, I can learn a lot, as Allen said, it will be of great benefit to the future."

In fact, Allen Wilson was just talking, and didn't expect the Iron Lady to come. In the final analysis, the other party is still a student at school.

Alan Wilson actually doesn't appreciate the "Iron Lady" in politics. The financialization of the UK was implemented during her tenure. Since then, it has been impossible for the UK to develop at all.

As for the toughness of personal style, is it useful for the country?Churchill, the current backbench member of Congress, is as tough as ever, and it seems that he can't change anything.

By the way, Margaret Thatcher and Churchill are both Conservatives, and the UK will eventually become what it will be in future generations. It is still unknown whether the Labor Party has wronged the country or the Conservative Party is more responsible.

"Hi, what a success." Henry from the Ministry of Finance saw Alan Wilson coming, and praised him without hesitation, "My colleagues are all very happy for your successful graduation."

"Let's find a place to have a drink at night." Alan Wilson nodded knowingly, there is no such thing as a whore for nothing in this world, and it is very natural and right to compensate people for standing on the spot.

"I believe my colleagues will be very happy with this news." Henry nodded in satisfaction, "But having said that, I always feel that your speech has some shortcomings."

"The remaining part is actually not suitable for public speaking." Alan Wilson readily admitted, "It can only be communicated within us, and it is not suitable for appearing as a speech."

"So that's the case. When we were discussing just now, we felt as if we hadn't finished talking." Henry nodded knowingly, very proud of himself for discovering this.

As for the remaining part about geography, it can be summed up as a persuasion to the United States not to push people too far on the colonial issue.

If the United States directly competes with relevant countries for the vacuum created by the contraction of the British Empire, the spatial disadvantage will be magnified, and at the same time, the power of the United States will be diluted. In the end, it will gain nothing, and even arouse resentment and even resistance everywhere.

In fact, if the United States and the Soviet Union started to compete in the same fair environment, it is very likely that the situation in the 70s would occur, when the Soviet Union attacked and the United States defended.

If the Soviet Union hadn’t suffered such heavy casualties due to World War II and started competing at the same starting point, the geographical disadvantage of the United States as an isolated island in the world would have been magnified. No matter how powerful the United States is, it can project power to the Eurasian continent. It is also impossible to compare with the Soviet Union, which itself is on the Eurasian continent.

As long as a country with about [-]% of the strength of the United States appears on the Eurasian continent, it can make the United States quite uncomfortable.Even helpless.

In the evening, Alan Wilson held a reception as scheduled to express his gratitude to all the colleagues who came to the Oriental College today.

Not long after the reception started, the Iron Lady actually appeared and came to the gathering place of civil servants.

Most of the civil servants don't know this student at all, and they don't have the slightest impression of the Iron Lady during the day.I don't know that in real history, it was this woman who seemed to be innocuous, who made a big move against the civil service system after she came to power.

Alan Wilson was also surprised. He just mentioned it and didn't expect the Iron Lady to come.

He does not have a good impression of this female prime minister. As for Thatcherism?It represents a variety of concepts: tax cuts, free markets, free enterprise, privatization of industry and services, "Victorian values", patriotism, "privatism of the individual".

The economic policy within it is an extension of economic proposals already widely discussed by the Conservative and Labor parties.The rest, especially those related to moral themes, are more accepted and firmly practiced by Conservative Party members than popular voters.

Chapter 175 The Country Girl

This is also normal. Alan Wilson does not believe that American citizens are extremely enthusiastic about Black Lives Matter. It is just politicians hyping up similar issues and blocking everyone's mouths with political correctness.

Mrs. Thatcher and Reagan, who appeared in the United States at the same time, adopted a similar policy and launched an all-out offensive.But in fact, this chicken-blood model with huge sequelae will not only cause extremely negative impacts in the future, but it has already caused the United States and the United Kingdom to have a hard time at that time.

When Reagan was in office in the United States, the U.S. economy was actually not very good, and it went up and down like a roller coaster.However, Britain's national strength is far inferior to that of the United States, and large-scale protests occurred almost during Mrs Thatcher's tenure.

Full-scale privatization is tantamount to selling everything, and almost everything is included in the scope of privatization.The first is the privatization of small enterprises and small groups in which the government owns part or most of the shares.

This was followed by natural monopolies such as telecommunications, energy, and aviation, whose privatization began with the sale of British Telecom Group.The government also sold off a large number of state-owned shares in post-war public housing.

First it was sold to the current occupants of the home, and later it was sold to everyone.When privatization is in full swing, the amount of privatized assets in the United Kingdom alone accounts for one-third of the world's total.

Despite the obvious reduction in state ownership and Margaret Thatcher's promise that the state would no longer be a burden on the people, government spending as a percentage of GDP in the UK, which has been heavily funded by privatization, has remained largely unchanged from the time of the Labor Party , because the Conservative government had to pay huge unemployment benefits, which had never been done before.

At the same time that the Soviet Union was in control of the map from Andropov, the number of unemployed people in the UK has reached 320 million, which is twice as high as the highest record in the UK after data records. Always the highest in Europe.

The funds obtained by the privatization of all industries in the UK have been invested in the hole of unemployment benefits.

Although Mrs. Thatcher was re-elected many times, her wins were not beautiful each time, but only a relative majority.Thanks also to Harold Wilson, the hearts of the Labor Party fluctuated. Many traditional Labor Party supporters switched to support other parties.

But even so, the rift in Britain has reached its peak in nearly 100 years.

The United Kingdom and the United States fought a set of seven-injury punches at the same time, and a person came who hurt himself before hurting others. Fortunately, the opponent at the same time was also a rare existence in a century. The Soviet Union with map heads and Khitans always showed more chaos than Britain and the United States. state.

Margaret, who was not Mrs Thatcher at this time, entered a world she had never imagined.

In the eyes of Alan Wilson, who didn't know that she invited herself to the party, she had nothing special at all, but it didn't show on her face.

"I said Alan, this girl is like a country girl, there is nothing attractive at all." Henry shook his wine glass, commented on the young iron lady, with a trace of contempt on his face, "Let her come Isn't it inappropriate for us elites to gather?"

"I just invited casually, I didn't think she would really come!" Alan Wilson tilted his head, looked at Margaret who was listening to others in the corner, and asked as if he remembered something, "Henry, What do you think of women in our civil service?"

"They are too slow to be like us." Henry smiled slightly. "They treat things differently. They are too emotional and not as rational as us. I can't say it clearly, either chew my tongue or shed tears."

"Is that so?" Alan Wilson agreed with a clear look, "It's very unattractive to spill tears without shedding tears."

"Yes, women have too many prejudices, and they always judge things in a partial way. The so-called thinking is the same way!" Henry mocked with a helpless look, "I always think I am very rational, and I hope you will listen to her. "

"Wow, that's really insightful." Alan Wilson agreed, "But Henry, in a British...democracy like ours, women's votes are as valuable as men's votes. I said if, if the future What if one day a female prime minister appears in the British Empire?"

"I can only hope that she doesn't mess things up." Henry replied without thinking, "Of course we hope that this possibility will never happen, otherwise it will seriously damage the civilization and order of the entire empire."

Alan Wilson didn't answer. If this civilization and order refers to civil servants, then as long as Mrs. Thatcher comes to power, she will definitely be hit hard!Thinking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly looked back at Margaret, and said softly, "I haven't driven a domestic car yet."

"What did you say?" Henry, who was clinking glasses with a friend next to him, suddenly turned his head and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing! It's still evocative of everything during the day." Alan Wilson talked about it, and took the initiative to have a drink with the officer of the Ministry of Finance. "I'm going around, you guys chat slowly."

What if this country girl in front of me really became the Prime Minister of the British Empire in the future?So according to history, civil servants will inevitably have a battle with political parties.

As for the result of this internal strife, according to history, it should be that the civil servants suffered a crushing defeat, their authority was greatly weakened, and they almost became the mascots of the political party.

This is not good news for Alan Wilson, who is motivated to make progress, because at his current age, he himself will definitely be caught up.

Attributed to the reasons for the overall collapse of civil servants, Alan Wilson believes that this problem still lies in the cleanliness of the colonies. Take the 20 civil servants in British India as an example, and the local civil servants are only more than [-].The civil servants in British India were the huge backbone of the civil service.

When managing the colonies, these elected politicians cannot be sent out.Even if it is sent over, how many governor positions are there in a colony for the masters of Congress to sit?

The politician was little more than a distant, existential mascot to the colonial civil servant.Know that politicians exist, but have never seen one.

Moreover, not all colonies have politicians as governors. Many colonies choose soldiers as governors.

Once the huge colony is completely lost, the local civil servants and politicians will be at a complete disadvantage.There is no support from foreign colleagues at all.

Were there any important colonies during Margaret Thatcher's time?The Falklands where there are more sheep than people in the fight with Argentina?

Just like now, Prime Minister Attlee has the idea of ​​​​giving up British India, but Alan Wilson can assure you that no one in British India has this idea. People in British India are doing well, and they don’t want to return home.

Whether or not the colony exists is one aspect. Alan Wilson still feels that he can take appropriate guidance to test whether the current Margaret has such unrealistic ideas.

"Margaret! How do you feel?" Alan Wilson approached the domestic car in his eyes with a trademark hypocritical expression.

"They spoke too cautiously." Although Margaret said this, she still said with faint excitement, "but this is an interesting experience that has expanded my knowledge."

Of course, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that the few colleagues sitting here were not reserved at all.Rather, he was unfamiliar with this country girl, and seeing a stranger here, he might be bored to the core.
