British civil servant

The first thousand and 520 chapters I am a hero and a hero

Since it is to attract foreign capital, it is naturally obligatory for Britain to help. It is logical to organize a group of business managers and engineers to inspect. First of all, Britain naturally respects the views of the United States.

But obviously the current United States is not interested in the East Asian market, and just wants to find a cannon fodder that can exert pressure on the Soviet Union on land.

Regarding the views of the United States, I, Daying, agree very much. It is just a piece of cannon fodder, and the positioning is very accurate. Then, Alan Wilson drew up a list of investigation groups involving hundreds of British companies to prepare for the beach landing. In principle Britain will not regard Japan as an enemy. If it really wants to be an enemy, it will send the Royal Navy to bomb Hokkaido.

In terms of economic aid, it is the age of sovereign currencies, and printing British pounds will not face a run on gold. This is not difficult. If you want to look good, you can also choose to print Hong Kong dollars.

Before Callaghan returned, Alan Wilson had completely completed the above steps. At this time, the Prime Minister completed his historic visit and arrived in loyal London.

Callahan attaches great importance to domestic strikes. Although in the international news, the British domestic strikes are ranked behind Afghanistan and even Iran, but Afghans and Iranians cannot decide Callahan’s votes, but British citizens can. Diplomatically Grades are not everything, the problem is economics.

"I personally suggest that the panda settled in the London Zoo should be publicized as the biggest achievement. During this difficult period, citizens need spiritual comfort." Alan Wilson reviewed the results of Callahan's visit and proposed Regarding the suggestion of panda settlement, isn't this more gratifying than losing a dog?

In addition to this point, Alan Wilson suggested to publicize some anecdotes about high-level people in the two countries. Callahan thought for a long time and replied, "My biggest impression is that they generally have a lot of addiction to cigarettes."

"Uh, nothing else?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth, and when it came to smoking addiction, he could recall the allusion that Mrs. Thatcher fell. According to Mrs. Thatcher's own explanation, it was during the meeting The people on the opposite side were generally addicted to cigarettes, which made Mrs. Thatcher dizzy and fell when she came out.

Let him judge, Mrs. Thatcher simply sprained her ankle, and the burst of domineering aura shocked the Iron Lady, which has nothing to do with the dizziness caused by the smog.

Since there isn't one, it's time to invent, find a template for the poorest workers in the East End, edit a press release and that's it.Then add a sentence that Sino-British relations have a long history and it's over.

In early [-], which zoo would the pandas in the UK settle in became one of the few positive news in the UK. Compared with the cold winter just passed and the strike movement that did not understand the difficulties of the government, this news made British citizens feel warm Heart.

Regarding the handling of Iran's arms purchases that were temporarily terminated due to the revolution, Alan Wilson suggested to wait and see first. If the United States has no objection, the United Kingdom can continue to produce Challenger tanks.

If the changes in Iran are not conducive to the free world, it would be good to sell it to the Kingdom of Iraq. This can be discussed, and the relationship between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Iraq is still good.

After all, in the last Middle East war, Britain could be said to have assisted the Arab world and played the role of a long-tested and firm ally.In the end, both Israel and the Arab League suffered losses, but this is not a problem for the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has always emphasized that Israel is backed by the United States, and the United Kingdom has nothing to do about it.

Because the situation in Iran is unclear, it is not acceptable to suspend production temporarily. Alan Wilson's reason is that if a judgment is made hastily, the British military factories will stop working after the project is suspended, and many workers will lose their jobs; there are also products that have been developed and produced for Iran. Tanks are also backlogged in British hands and so on.

For this reason, the UK not only needs to continue the project to avoid the unemployment of a large number of workers, but also sells the tanks previously produced for Iran, which will lead to additional costs.

Of course, now that Callahan has just made progress in the diplomacy of the East, this batch of tanks can also be sold to the new allies of the United Kingdom, and the big deal is to authorize the production of some technical products.

This is definitely not that the UK wants to embezzle the deposit that Iran has already paid. As we all know, the UK has always been the moral benchmark of the free world, and even when doing business with the Soviet Union, it strictly abides by the moral bottom line.

Of course, if the Soviet Union is gone, it will be another problem if it becomes Russia. Respect has always been based on strength.

Now that the UK is troubled by the issue of strikes, it is even more necessary to hype up the news about the Iranian revolution. The reason for hyping up the issue of the Iranian revolution is not to divert the conflict. In fact, Alan Wilson is already preparing to fight a protracted war with the trade unions on the issue of strikes. The reason is to divert attention. The Rhodesian royal territory will be merged with the original province of Southern Rhodesia.

Of course, one thing that happened at the same time was the engagement ceremony between the eldest son Albert and Grace's youngest daughter Sophia, because the eldest son was serving in the Rhine Army, and Alan Wilson rushed to Germany to participate in the engagement ceremony. Grace thought it was a good idea Against him, he will never forget being stripped naked off the coast of Germany.

Rhodesia Jiedushi obviously thought too much. Alan Wilson was definitely not targeting him, but came to visit the dragoon sisters. He was troubled by many things and finally found an excuse to come here.

Although the Federal Republic of Germany was finally overtaken by Japan due to the population ceiling issue and ranked third among the economies of the free world, it has to be admitted that Germany is indeed not the same as it was 30 years ago. In the long run, when Algeria Those rebels who have experienced the war are completely old, and the next generation will become the truly glorious French. Germany's potential is definitely not as good as France, but that is after all. Germany wants to surpass and come back unless the two Germanys are unified.

Unification of this issue, unless Alan Wilson does not live to that time, he will do his best to prevent it, and he is even mentally prepared to attack the Warsaw Pact.

Allen Wilson looked at his son in military uniform at the station of the Rhine Army Group. This is obviously brainwashed by Marshal Mountbatten. If the Falkland Islands fight in a few years, will you join the war or not?

But there is still something to be gratified about. Because of his well-known talent and professional style, Albert has become a captain, and he will become a glorious major in the middle of the year at most. Alan Wilson told his son the good news.

"Father, I want to rely on my ability to become a respected general." Albert expressed his ideas with his head held high.

"I am part of your father's ability. Otherwise, if Marshal Mountbatten is not an important member of the royal family, he can be a marshal?" Alan Wilson replied in a tone that you don't come here, "There is a saying in the East Heroes and heroes, in terms you can understand, marshals also have sons, although I am not a marshal, but your grandfather does. If you were not my son, would you still want to bring women into service? Who would dare to give you this treatment?"

Albert was silent for a moment, and then showed flexibility at the ideal level, "Father, didn't I do this to establish the image that I rely entirely on my personal ability? Although there are reasons that I and you know about taking Sophia to serve, but Others don't know."

"I thought that your brain had become rigid after serving in the military." Alan Wilson expressed his relief at this answer, and looked at the other side where Grace was telling his daughter.Maybe it's teaching her daughter how to extract some wealth from the richest woman's house. Although it's a bit dirty to think so, the supreme authority can't help but think so.

"Father, I will definitely get along well with President Mountbatten." Sophia made a solemn promise in front of her father.

"Huh? You mainly want to deal with the Secretary-General." Grace froze for a moment before reminding her daughter that she had made a mistake. "Pamela is not the point."

While enjoying the joy here, an F14 Tomcat fighter jet landed at the local airport in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, and the driver walked out of it to express his intention to come.

A day later, the news that the f14 Tomcat fighter jets landed in Afghanistan caused a sensation in the free world, and Alan Wilson was also shocked. He had never heard of such a thing, and it was definitely not in his memory. The allies of the Soviet Union had never Having obtained this kind of fighter jet, could it be that the Soviet Union planned this defection?

But then I thought about it, one weapon can't represent anything, at most it can deepen the understanding of the U.S. Air Force. In this all-round confrontation, two weapons will determine the outcome?It was a collision of the whole system.

Strikes in the UK are still the top priority. Callahan will inevitably face this issue after returning home. Reporters from various parties have already been waiting to ask Callahan's views on the strike.

Callahan angrily scolded the reporter for not listening to the wind and the rain, always wanting to make a big news to criticize me, saying that he is very dissatisfied with the reporter's reporting deviation.

As for the strike, Callahan said that Whitehall's professionalism in handling the strike deserves everyone's respect, and the shortage of supplies in some areas caused by the truck driver's strike is real.

This kind of behavior is very selfish. As for the salary increase, the Prime Minister agrees that this will only increase inflation, and the 40.00% salary increase request is unrealistic.

Members of the Conservative Party backbench in the House of Commons also teased that the Prime Minister's statement was almost in the same breath as Whitehall. I believe that in the eyes of some people, Callaghan must be a good prime minister.

"Who said that, why are the words of the Conservative MP so annoying." Alan Wilson said bluntly, holding the microphone, "It seems that the Conservative Party does not need our cooperation when it is in power. Check this MP for drunk driving, Taking bribes, watching striptease, cruelty to animals, you can do anything. If you don’t do human affairs every day, you will know to trouble us, maybe it’s a French or German lobbyist.”

As soon as the words fell, Anna pinched the supreme authority who was talking nonsense, causing the latter to grin his teeth, with a fawning face, and lip-synced, "Honey, you are answering the phone."

The first thousand and 520 chapters three to deal with the general strike

When the phone was hung up, Anna grabbed the handle and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Pamela's son is engaged, so you should come here specially. You never ignore my son."

"Your son is so good, I don't need to worry about it, but I have been secretly caring about it." Alan Wilson immediately begged for mercy.

The supreme authority has never been so passive in his life. He almost knelt down to kowtow to the spy who was entangled with the past 30 years ago, and said anxiously, "The whole world will be happy if you know you."

"I just don't accept it, why are they treated differently?" Anna said angrily, "I don't care, when Koch and Hans get married, you have to come here specially, absolutely can't forget it."

"No problem!" Alan Wilson twisted his neck to the right, looking like a hundred-ruble conscript who was about to step into the battlefield, and he was ready to go through fire and water.

But even the supreme authority is over fifty years old, still running around for state affairs and family affairs, and the lady of the same status as his wife doesn't understand him at all, always haggling over a little bit of treatment.

Alan Wilson was here in Bonn to witness the engagement for the eldest son. Although it belongs to the category of keeping everything simple, the current domestic public opinion in the UK is really not suitable for making a fuss.Callahan's statement after returning from his visit was not very satisfactory.

The well-known rhythm master The Sun reported the matter with the headline "Crisis? What Crisis?" and the subhead "Railways, Roads, Employment Mess - Jim Blames the Press", accusing Callahan of being "out of touch with society", although Callahan He didn't use a single word of the above, but he did deny that the situation in the UK was chaotic.

The rhythm of the "Sun" added fuel to the fire.This phrase would follow Callahan throughout his life as well.

People who are familiar with Callahan call him Jim, who is the minister. The prototype of this drama combines the images of many Labor Party prime ministers.

The prime ministership is clearly in the shadow of Harold Wilson, while the name goes to Callaghan.

The "Sun" is the most suitable for firing on the Prime Minister. The readers of "The Sun" don't care who is running the country, they only care about whether it is protruding or not. The essence of it is in the "Sun".

While Callaghan was bombarded by The Sun, Conservative Party leader Margaret Thatcher has been calling for a national emergency to contain strikes in the first week, and she has been calling for reform measures known as stepping stones.

Require trade unions to prohibit worker pickets that do not target strikes only, prohibit companies from hiring only union members, must pass secret ballot approval before strikes, and reach non-strike agreements in many industries such as medical care, fire protection, and police, etc.

Although the Conservative Party supports the union's salary increase demand this time, it still insists on not compromising with the union in other respects.Salary increases are possible, but strikes cannot be used as a means of blackmailing the government. On this point, the Conservative Party agrees with the current position of Whitehall.

After settling the Rhodesian royal territory and establishing a deeper relationship, Alan Wilson couldn't help but say, "Should I be looking for some young talents to marry some of your local leaders?" one time?"

"That's not what I mean. It's just that the engagement is too simple." Grace also accepted it as soon as it was good, and now he is relieved that at least his peaceful life in Africa can be backed by the United Kingdom.

Even if it means this, Alan Wilson is not afraid. He really has the ability to summon young talents to marry Rhodesia with a single order. There are also ladies of the same status as wives.

Back in London, the temperature dropped again as thousands of Britons began to apply for unemployment benefits due to strikes, a standoff between unions and the government.

Mrs Thatcher made a party broadcast in which she said, as a Briton rather than a politician, "I will not be making a party manifesto tonight, the crisis in our country does not allow me to do so", in which she accused The overpowering power of the trade unions allowed "every man to kill the state."

"The trade union has decided to launch a national general strike to support the strike of truck drivers, including workers in various public sectors, firefighters, public affairs departments, the National Railway Association, and the Medical Association."

As soon as he returned to London, Brest, the executive undersecretary of the Ministry of the Interior, brought news that was definitely not good. "This time, the trade unions hope that the government will completely abolish the salary increase quota issue. In the joint statement of the major trade unions, this A general strike compared with the general strike of [-]."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, "Do you think we will compromise? What did the cabinet say? Regarding this strike, which has been compared to the general strike in [-] before it even started, we have been fighting with the British for a long time. Doesn’t the Labor government, where the working class stands together, have nothing to say?”

The 600 general strike was the largest strike movement in British history. It started with coal workers. At its peak, there were [-] million people who participated in the strike. In addition to the coal mining industry, electrical, steel, railway, construction and printing industries workers are on strike.

All great industrial centers are paralyzed.Under the circumstances, the government has had to implement an emergency transport service of essential supplies and employ thousands of special police officers, with buses and trains driven by volunteers.

"The Prime Minister has stated that he will never back down and is willing to pay any price in the face of such unreasonable demands." Brest relayed the information he received from the Minister of the Interior. "This is a very serious threat."

"That's no problem, come on." Allen Wilson nodded and said, "To prevent bloodshed, we recommend dispatching the Royal Mounted Police. The government should also understand that this kind of mass incident is easy to get out of control. Just in case , the tanks don’t need to be displayed, but the machine guns? Let me convey Whitehall’s views on this matter.”

The appetite of the major trade unions has finally grown to the point where even the Labor Party government can't satisfy. Before the general strike, Jones, the chairman of the Transport Unified Trade Union, explained that a 20.00% salary increase can be negotiated, and Alan Wilson did not hesitate. The refusal, Whitehall announced, "The British Empire has not yet reached the point where there is not enough manpower. Regardless of the strikes of workers in any industry, as long as London wants, it can find enough skilled workers from all over the world."

Whitehall's statement even surprised Mrs. Thatcher. This time he underestimated the cabinet secretary. Whitehall really dared to stand up to what he claimed was the biggest strike since [-].

"Clear out a special airstrip for me. The international airport must be open 24 hours a day. Malaya veterans are summoned to take over all public facilities that are going on strike." Alan Wilson issued several orders one after another, and then rushed to Downing Street [-] I'm going to see the Prime Minister now, and now it depends on whether the Prime Minister will continue to retreat to meet the demands of the strike unions, or draw a full stop to meet the demands of the trade unions that have been hard to fill in recent years.

When Alan Wilson asked how to deal with the strikers, Callahan was silent for a long time, "If the conditions of the union are too harsh, the strikers can be temporarily fired."

"Dear Prime Minister, you are very courageous. I believe Mrs. Thatcher will also be shocked by the Prime Minister's courage." Alan Wilson said solemnly, but he thought it was a good thing. The government's concessions finally magnified the greed of the trade unions. , thinking that as long as they go further, the government will compromise.

For the Labor Party government, this decision is not easy to make. After all, the Labor Party has long regarded itself as representing the working class.

But thinking about it the other way around, it is not incomprehensible that the Labor Party government will adopt a tough attitude in the end. The Labor Party will not really vote for the Soviet Union, but the Conservative Party really dares to vote for the United States.

Before the strike, trade unions in various industries had begun to put forward the purpose of the strike. For example, the Royal Medical Association demanded a 20.00% salary increase, but the government did not respond.

There is also the Postmen's Association who wants a weekly wage increase of 15.00 pounds, and the gravediggers who want a 22% wage increase, etc. January [-] is the day of action that the major trade unions call.

Sanitation workers in London went on strike, garbage bins quickly filled with uncollected rubbish, and people began to empty their rubbish in parks, which marked the beginning of the general strike in early [-].

"Dump all the rubbish into the major squares in London." Alan Wilson took the phone and ordered the military driver, "The workers like this scene, so let them see it."

In the face of a strike by medical personnel, the media focused on citizens’ inability to receive medical services. At London International Airport, passenger planes from Hong Kong and Malaya were fully loaded with medical personnel from the two places. The medical personnel in the army returned to their homeland, and the Rheinland Army stationed in Germany was no exception.

When faced with how to respond to the strike of funeral directors and gravediggers, Whitehall announced that funerals during the strike can be considered in the form of sea burials.

The first thousand and 520 chapters and four fines Ford

While dealing with the strike, negotiations with the trade unions are also continuing. This time the government and the trade unions are in a stalemate. The biggest victim is undoubtedly the UK itself, but both sides believe that they have no choice.

Whitehall keeps stressing that, once the general demand for wage increases in all industries is realized, it will have no effect except to make prices rise to swallow up the share of wage increases.

The most important thing is that this will almost certainly weaken the international competitiveness of the pound and cause the pound to fluctuate, so that the ultimate loss will still belong to the United Kingdom. At the same time, he praised the Labor Party for its role in defending the United Kingdom when the United Kingdom was most dangerous.

"Let's say frankly that Prime Minister Callaghan has always defended the interests of the trade unions, but this time the reason why he thinks the demands of the trade unions are too much is not the simplest reason. Are the demands of the trade unions and the strikers really too much? The strikers don't care if inflation gets out of hand in the UK, they care about false numerical comfort."

Alan Wilson defended the government's tough policy in an exclusive interview with the BBC, "It is no longer the currency of the Bretton Woods system. In the era of sovereign currency, the government can print the wages that workers want and send them out. As a result, Naturally, inflation is in the sky. All wage increases mean there is no salary increase. When your pockets are full of goods that cannot be dealt with in pounds, what is the point of a salary increase? Not to mention a salary increase of 40.00%, 20.00% five, it is a percentage One thousand governments can also do it, it’s just a matter of adding a zero.”

"This kind of false appeasement work is beneficial to the UK itself. The most important thing is that the pound is not only in circulation in one country. Will other countries sell the pound in their hands and cause the pound to return? To contribute to the inflation of the UK? I don't think the union strikers have ever thought about it."

In the end, Alan Wilson still wanted to speak for the ruling Labor Party. The Labor Party adopted a tough attitude towards the strike. It is impossible not to lose the approval rating. In fact, Callahan’s approval rating went from 5.00% ahead of Mrs. Thatcher. After the strike it has become 20.00% behind.

A pay rise for truck drivers has not yet become a reality, a boost to the Conservative Party has.

That's what I said, and Whitehall did the same. When negotiating with Jones, the chairman of the Transport Unified Union, Whitehall relayed Alan Wilson's attitude, not to mention the truck driver's request for a salary increase. Whitehall would not agree. Strikers in other industries demanded that Whitehall will not agree, the maximum wage increase of 13.00%, this is the bottom line.

On TV, it began to report that the medical staff who came to the UK from Hong Kong and Malaya warmed the hearts of many patients with their superb medical skills when the UK was in a difficult time.

When she got home from get off work, her wife did not come to greet her. Pamela told her father, "Mother is not feeling well today, she must have caught a cold."

Alan Wilson nodded and went upstairs to the bedroom, and saw his sick wife lying in the cup, kissed Pamela Mountbatten directly on the forehead and said, "I haven't spent winter in England for a long time, I'm not used to it Yes, although it hasn’t snowed recently, it’s really cold.”

"The doctor has seen it, and you will recover slowly after taking the medicine." Pamela Mountbatten felt the temperature on her forehead, and said in a daze that she was fine.

"You still have to be careful, after all, you are not young. Drinking some hot soup should be helpful." Alan Wilson told his wife to lie down, and went downstairs to make enough food and clothing for himself.

On this day, Supreme Authority finally felt that his daughter was still useful. At least she knew how to care for her mother and help her cook.

"My dear daughter, you have no idea about your own future." Alan Wilson asked Pamela if she had someone she liked while making soup. Even Albert was engaged, so the older sister couldn't be silent. Is it a little abnormal.

"Father really wants me to marry? Anyone can do it?" Pamela pinched her hands on her waist with a nonchalant expression, as if asking whether the head of the family wanted to kick her out.

"As long as you like my objection, uh, you can't say that, that baboon can't do it, it's too ugly." Out of the rigor of the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson went back and made up for it.

"I don't like him yet. He really doesn't look very good. I need a handsome one." Pamela imagined, "It doesn't have to be a nobleman, anyway, father, you don't care about it."

"That's right, I'm a commoner myself, Ziliu..." Alan Wilson tasted the saltiness, and went upstairs with the soup without forgetting to order, "My daughter is just young, so I shouldn't need to take care of her. , do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.”

While communicating with the opposition party, Alan Wilson and Mrs. Thatcher met to discuss their views on this strike and expounded Whitehall's attitude towards the strike. It is not necessary to use the Labor Party's continuous appeasement and finally have to be tough. , nor is it that the Conservative Party wants the union to guarantee that there will be no strikes in the future while they hope to promise a wage increase.

"The trade union's control over workers is also weakening. Democracy, no matter it's a broken shoe or a rotten sock, everyone wants to express their opinions, just like a backbench member of the House of Commons who doesn't know what to say." Alan Wilson is very gentlemanly and rich. Mrs. Chell poured a glass, and seeing that the other party didn't move, she couldn't help but said, "Margaret, it's not like that, many years have passed."

"Sir, we are talking about work." Mrs. Thatcher interrupted sharply, and immediately felt that she was overreacting, as if she was taking it seriously. "There are so many trade unions, millions of workers are on strike, and Whitehall is blindly tough. If measures are taken, the country will be harmed.”

"Madam Leader, we are affairs officers. It's good to be able to do this." Alan Wilson took a sip of red wine and replied, "Prime Minister Callaghan, from a personal point of view, has indeed defended the authority of the government this time. , the approval rate has dropped by 20.00%, this year is a general election year, the impact of this strike will not disappear within a year, so what if you are the prime minister?"

"For the sake of the United Kingdom, I will definitely respond quickly and not delay until now." Mrs. Thatcher made her stand with her head held high, but this action was only in exchange for Alan Wilson's strafing gaze. In essence, he took a general look at the leader of the Conservative Party who pretended to be tough.

As far as making a decisive decision, Alan Wilson has never doubted female politicians on this point, but whether the decisive method is very useful is an unknown.

Maybe a decisive decision will lead to worse results, such as Indira Gandhi, the iron lady of India, and Mrs. Meir, the Prime Minister of Israel.

In an electoral system, female politicians will have consequences for their capriciousness. Unless they continue to change the national system and take the Soviet line, isn’t Indira Gandhi’s character more iron than Margaret Thatcher?

After all, Ingandhi held the inherent concept of parliamentary democracy, and believed that the autocracy during the state of emergency could only be temporary, and that the original social system should be restored sooner or later.The economy was better then, and she thought public opinion was in her favour.

Not long after the general election was announced, the ruling faction of the Congress Party became unstable.Dalit leader.Jallam, who was the Minister of Defense, quit the Congress Party and formed the Democratic Congress Party with dissidents. He put forward the slogan of fighting for democracy and opposing dictatorship, and decided to cooperate with the People's Party.

At present, India's Iron Lady is in opposition, losing the 30-year ruling of the Congress Party since Nehru. Isn't this a very clear lesson from the past?

"The place in India cannot be compared with Britain." Mrs. Thatcher commented dismissively. "Without us, Britain, it is just a geographical term."
