British civil servant

The first thousand and 540 chapters and five cavalry companies, charge.

Putting down the phone, Allen Wilson rested his chin in his hand, thinking about some specific matters. Making good use of the power of the media is the only way to elect a country.

Of course, it is not enough to just make good use of the media. It also needs internal and external cooperation. This is the reason why MI[-] was used to infiltrate the trade union.

The British Empire was halfway through the sublimation due to the Yin Lang hostage crisis, and was preparing to show the old imperialism in front of the main players on the earth, but suddenly it had to stop because of the domestic strike.

This made the Carter administration very embarrassed, but it could only understand the UK, who made the UK really go on strike, and had no energy to deal with the Americans detained by Yin Lang.

Up to now, the United States can only rely on its own strength, but fortunately, although the United Kingdom has no time to spare because of the strike, the framework provided is still there. Since the framework of the Six-Party Talks exists, it can continue.

If President Carter is not in power now, it may be more difficult for the United States to pretend to take care of the interests of all parties and jointly exert pressure on Yin Lang.

At least Reagan would never pay any attention to the Six-Party Talks, and would definitely choose to go it alone, whether it will be successful or not will be discussed later.The Carter administration was different. It also expressed its willingness to use the framework of the six-party talks in the United Kingdom to win support from countries including the Soviet Union.

Yin Lang has already said that the United States is the big Satan and the Soviet Union is the little Satan. The Soviet Union’s attitude towards Yin Lang, a country whose revolution has escaped the clutches of the United States, has changed from being the first to recognize Khomeini’s regime earlier, and following Khomeini’s power Steady, began to reject the actions of pro-Soviet parties, and gradually became more subtle.

But let the United States bow its head exclusively to the Soviet Union?In particular, the person in charge of foreign affairs in the United States is called Brzezinski. He couldn't shame the Soviet Union, so he asked for help from the other side of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"Then? Let me go!" Alan Wilson frowned, and the foreign minister was Peter Alexander Carrington, who was relatively inexperienced in diplomacy compared to himself.

In fact, the political experience of the Conservative Party would not be so stretched, but Alan Wilson really worked as a public servant for many years when the Labor Party was in power, which led to the long-term opposition of the Conservative Party. The position of Secretary of the Navy was abolished by the Labor Party following Eden's defeat.

The reason why Alan Wilson took the initiative to volunteer was to avoid the current strike movement. The center of the domestic political storm can still hide if he can. The job of spreading the word for the Americans is obviously much easier.

"It's up to you to guide the strike!" Alan Wilson waited for the special plane to take off, not forgetting to pay attention to the strike movement that has already started in the country. These steel workers are not easy to deal with.

"Sir, I will personally pay attention to this matter." Radwich nodded, "The destructive power caused by the workers' strike will soon spread throughout the UK."

"I'm relieved you are doing business." Alan Wilson patted Radwich on the shoulder, then walked through the terminal, and had left the British airspace not long after.

The steelworkers' strike naturally attracted the attention of the Labor Party, and they regarded this strike as Mrs Thatcher's Waterloo, and the mutual attacks in the House of Commons were like a messy vegetable market.

Faced with such a situation, Mrs. Thatcher did not change her original intention, and loudly defended, "Restoring Britain's economic vitality is an extremely difficult task, but we are not trembling pilgrims, even though the road ahead is full of thorns. , we will never take half a step back.”

Immediately after the issue of the steel workers' strike, Mrs Thatcher made a nationally broadcast address as Prime Minister, "After any major operation, you will feel that your physical condition is worse, but this is exactly the precursor of recovery. It is not easy to cure the disease, but it must be done. If we cannot defeat the trade unions that always threaten workers, the strikes one after another will eat away at the body of Britain like cancer."

The incumbent prime minister compared the strike of steel workers to the spread of cancer cells, which angered all the steel workers, and the matter became uncontrollable. The irritated workers could not restrain their anger, sang the Internationale, and set the cars on the side of the road on fire. Thick smoke shot straight into the air, attracting a large number of riot police to stand by.

Steelworkers in Teesside and Scotland, chanting Mrs Thatcher to step down, vented their rage and did not back down in the face of uniformed police, as shards of glass and stones littered the roadside to mark the protest into disorder.

"Good job." Radwich, who stayed in London, kept in touch with his subordinates in various cities to get the latest news at any time.He still remembered Alan Wilson's instructions, it is best not to use white faces, and if it is unavoidable, mainly overseas immigrants.

The demonstrators confronted the police, shops were looted, cars were destroyed, and countless police officers and civilians were injured. Riots spread across many cities in the British Isles.It was all blamed on inflation and unemployment, on the socio-economic policies of the Thatcher government.

Faced with such a predicament, at the cabinet meeting of the Conservative Party in power, many cabinet ministers felt heavy. The entire steel industry has been paralyzed. When it was in the position of the opposition party, the Conservative Party naturally launched a violent attack against the strikes during the Labor Party period. As if as soon as he came to power, the strike would melt away like snowflakes in the sun.

But now that they are in the position of the ruling party, they are also helpless in the face of such a situation. There are ministers who are silent, and there are ministers who suggest concessions, but there are very few ministers who firmly support Mrs. Thatcher. At critical moments, no one wants to Bearing the reputation of suppressing workers, the election is not only one, they also want to hang around in the political circle for a long time.

When Mrs. Thatcher was running for office, she once said that as long as she has the support of six strong men and the truth, she can face all difficulties. At this moment, what she needs most is firm support.

But the man who should support her the most, and who has always said he will never waver, is in Moscow at this time, hoping that the cultural tsar will give him firm support.

This can't be blamed on Alan Wilson. He came here for the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and sent a message for the United States to hope that the Soviet Union would stand by the United States so that the Yin Lang hostage crisis would have a good result.

The phone at No. [-] Downing Street rang at this time. Armstrong, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet, and Brest, the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, said they had something to report. After a while, Brest began to report the situation in each city in detail, "Allen Before Jazz left, he also said that it may be the most dangerous time, and politicians should make decisive decisions. The Royal Mounted Police may be a must. This is no longer a strike, but involves the safety of the lives and properties of British citizens."

Teesside was particularly affected locally. In the live broadcast of the BBC, the scene was close to a riot. The steelworkers under the banner of justice were looting shops and setting cars on fire. The so-called workers' strike.

According to news from unknown sources, there are also so-called workers with South Asian faces who have committed crimes against women. The headlines of the big newspapers.

If someone pays attention to the strike movement of British steel workers this time, it is easy to conclude that the whole of the UK is in dire straits.

The organizers of the strike described the strike as a confrontation between laborers and the reactionary government, but the Conservative Party, under the pressure of Mrs Thatcher, has unified its voice. Dangerous leftists are threatening the prosperity and stability of the UK. Mrs. Hall wanted very much to pin the blame on the Soviet Union, but Alan Wilson was visiting Moscow to discuss a common position on the Yin Lang hostage crisis.

Zheng and the Soviets said that the United States is the big Satan, the Soviet Union is the little Satan, and Satan should stand together. Now it is obviously impossible to blame the Soviet Union, and Margaret Thatcher let the Soviet Union go.

On the third night of the strike, Margaret Thatcher spoke again on the strike, "The rules of the mob cannot be used to replace law and order. If the mob does not stop harming Britain, they will immediately see the tough attitude of the government."

Teesside, in north-east England, is less well-known than the steelworkers of other cities, and Margaret Thatcher made it a place to showcase the government's uncompromising spirit.

This is also one of the most severely damaged places in this strike. On the one hand, there are steel workers arm in arm, protesting the government's road blockade and wanting to subdue the strikers materially, and on the other side are mobilized from all over [-] police officers, and [-] RCMP.

The situation is on the verge of breaking out. Although there is no snow on this day, it still makes people tremble. On the one hand, there are [-] steel workers defending their rights and interests, and on the other hand, they are confronted by police officers who implement the will of the government. On the police side, The most eye-catching is the two hundred Royal Mounted Police.

The glorious Royal Mounted Police, riding a horse under their crotch, looked at the dark crowd on the opposite side. At this moment, they wondered if they remembered the glorious achievements of the past.

Cavalry company, charge!As orders to disperse the steelworkers are rejected, the Great War of the Century breaks out.

The cavalry, which has been silent for nearly a century, is rejuvenated again!The British government used the impact of the cavalry to smash the defense line composed of 7000 men.Afterwards, thousands of policemen armed with shields and clubs tried to kill them.

The horses are vertical and horizontal, showing the decisive ability of cavalry in the battlefield for thousands of years. The knights chased the workers who fled in all directions. On this day, no one was treated more equally than the steelworkers, for for the first time they enjoyed the same treatment that the colonies faced during marches.

"The heroic RCMP have restored peace, law and order to Teesside and back to its citizens."

The first thousand and 540 chapters to petition the queen

Of course, this is a one-sided statement by the pro-Conservative public opinion. The RCMP broke through the strike crowd, and it was impossible to be unscathed. There was a bloodshed rarely seen in modern society.

However, this kind of trouble has nothing to do with Alan Wilson. He is visiting the stadium of the Moscow Olympics, and there is a plainclothes man with him. This is very speechless. Does a major general need to condescend to do this? No one can do this kind of thing, just arrange someone casually, must Alexeyev come in person.

Of course, this is the tradition of the Soviet Union, and Alan Wilson can only pretend not to know it, and listen to a lot of teasing, talking about the bloody incident of the British strike, and he is confident that the end of capitalism has come, it seems that in this era , the victory of the Soviet Union is just around the corner.

"Our country is far stronger than you imagined, and this confrontation is never equal." Alan Wilson looked at the big boy who expressed revolutionary optimism, and couldn't help but refute that it was too simple, you guys Imperial Russia was the weak link of imperialism, the British Empire was not.

Whether it is the world in memory or the current world, the Soviet Union in this period of time is indeed unprecedentedly powerful since its birth.No one can say that the Soviet Union will collapse in just ten years. On the contrary, the free world does seem to be in dire straits.

In terms of intuitive feeling, the Soviet Union is indeed a life-and-death enemy that the free world has never encountered. No one has ever enjoyed this kind of comprehensive hostile treatment, whether it was before or in the future.

Certainly a certain big country has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. A certain big country basically has the same treatment as Russia, and Russia and the Soviet Union cannot be compared at all.

However, Allen Wilson knew that the national strength of the Soviet Union could not continue to support global offensives. It was not that the Soviet Union's national strength was not strong, but that it was too expensive to conquer cities and territories around the world.

Not to mention that the Soviet Union is in the position of attacker, like the United States is in the position of defense, and it will hardly be able to maintain it after decades.Offensive definitely takes more energy than defense.

Many people define the peak of the Soviet Union in the late 70s and early 80s. This is naturally reasonable. However, Alan Wilson judged that the Soviet Union’s expenditure will not be smaller than in memory. He helped the Soviet Union optimize its offensive options, but it does not mean that it was invested. At least, the pro-Soviet government in Nicaragua has been established, but this does not mean that Nicaragua will be able to run smoothly.

Although he made a breakthrough in Allende, Allende did not change the Chilean system in the end. Chile still elects a president every six years and cannot be re-elected. Allende has completed his term, although the Chilean Socialist Party still won the subsequent elections. , but as long as the electoral system exists, the United States will find a chance to come back sooner or later.

Although Nicaragua and Chile forced the United States to increase its investment in Latin America, it did not mean that the Soviet Union's investment was small.What's more, Latin America is only a small part of the Soviet Union's global offensive. The Angola war has not stopped for a moment. The Soviet Union is still investing manpower and material resources to support Vietnam. There is one more Indonesia in this world.

The only place where the gains may be smaller than in history is the Middle East, which the United Kingdom has tried its best to defend. Originally, the Yin Lang Revolution, the Soviet Union was ecstatic and thought it had finally seized the opportunity.

But Khomeini immediately used big and small Satanic speeches and actions to purge pro-Soviet parties, letting the Soviet Union know that it was too early to be happy.

However, Yin Lang's revolution was still fruitful for the Soviet Union. Although Yin Lang was not brought under the influence of the Soviet Union, he was no longer under the control of the United States.

Alan Wilson came this time not to expect the Soviet Union to stand firmly on the side of the United States and do what Yin Lang did, but to discuss this hostage crisis alone. The Soviet Union should condemn it from a moral point of view. This violates diplomatic norms, isn't it? It is wrong for Yin Lang to do this. Any country that does this should be condemned.

"By the way, your chairman is a very powerful person. You have to be careful. Maybe he will lead the Soviet Union in the future. Don't think I'm joking." Alan Wilson still decided to remind the old man, Then just keep silent.

Alekseev looked at the old father in front of him in surprise, nodded and chose to remain silent, leaving the stadium with his own thoughts.

"Everyone is a part of Western civilization. Although we adopt two concepts, they are all internal problems. Yin Lang is a country of other civilizations." Alan Wilson has an unfathomable moral bottom line. In Schrödinger's Russia this time In terms of standpoint, I firmly stand on the side that Russia is part of the Western family.

Whether Russia is Western civilization can have different answers depending on the needs of the situation. It can be or not. Anyway, I understand that Wang thinks it is. The spokesperson of the White House once made a statement about a certain big country. This is a non-Western country that changes the international order. , Such words have never been applied to the Soviet Union.

Europe, America and the Soviet Union can be regarded as the relationship between Alan Wilson's sons. It is nothing more than a question of who is the legitimate son and who is the illegitimate son, but they are all biological.

The relationship is not constant, it can be that heretics are more hateful than infidels, or it can be like the Arabic proverb, "Together with my brothers I have overcome my cousins, and with my cousins ​​I have stood together against outsiders." It's just that both Europe and the United States in modern times have adopted the former attitude.

Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko did not express his position, obviously he was considering it. If participation in the Six-Party Talks would benefit the Soviet Union, this is a very debatable issue.

"With the participation of major countries, there will be no country that is responsible. Everyone is responsible, but no one is responsible." Alan Wilson gave the answer from the macro issue, and then changed the subject, "Every year the Soviet Union Both import a large amount of food, and everyone should live in harmony on many issues. Major countries should adopt a consistent attitude, and President Carter is still a respectable president."

The Soviet Union decided to have a limited hope of promoting the Six-Party Talks. This statement is enough. Alan Wilson does not have to threaten the Soviet Union with boycotting the Moscow Olympics. Although Afghanistan and Pakistan have exchanged fire, at best, it is a border conflict like that between Thailand and Vietnam. Resisting with this reason seems a little unreasonable.

When you come to the Soviet Union, you always have to come up with some results. Allen Wilson put together a few things in Moscow. Innocuous things are sent back and forth as results, including communication and exchanges in the cultural field, thanks to the culture. Tsar's cooperation.

"Honey, this meeting may be the last chance for us to meet in this life. You must take care of your health. If there is a chance, I will definitely come again. If the work is tiring, now Alyosha can take care of himself , You can rest assured." Alan Wilson looked at Furtseva's aging face, expressing concern from her husband's point of view for the first time.

"What do you say, a young woman might be very moved." Fultseva pretended to be calm, but in fact the cultural tsar was also very moved, "You better manage yourself, this strike killed more than a dozen people, isn't it It’s such a good lake to get across.”

"As a high-ranking Soviet Union, you should slam the imperialists for using cruel means to deal with workers who defend their legitimate rights." Alan Wilson chuckled, and then replied seriously, "I will be careful."

Still worrying about myself, if the Soviet Union can suppress the rebel forces, will it end up like that in the end?So this kind of thing, Britain will not have an accident.

What will happen next?In fact, it was the British steel workers who started to join forces and went to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen and asked Queen Elizabeth to depose Prime Minister Mrs Thatcher.Why would the supreme authority far away in Moscow know, because this is what he arranged.

He didn't want to do anything to Mrs. Thatcher, nor did he think about being the masters of the steel workers. After all, the British state-owned enterprises should be handed over to reliable people. This kind of privatization still needs to be promoted by Mrs. Thatcher.

It's just that Mrs. Thatcher once threatened him. In theory, the prime minister can replace the cabinet secretary.

He just used this to remind Mrs. Thatcher that theoretically, the queen is not unable to replace the prime minister, although this may cause a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom, which is based on case law.

But it is indeed possible in theory, the Queen has worked hard, and I have not had a happy New Year at this time.

Alan Wilson, who had returned from his New Year's visit to China, happened to bump into a worker outside Buckingham Palace holding a banner to petition, asking Queen Elizabeth to intervene in Mrs Thatcher's tyranny.

This scene has also been widely publicized by the major media in the UK. Mrs. Thatcher certainly does not want this kind of news to be widely publicized.

But some things would not happen if the Prime Minister was not unwilling. Mrs. Thatcher has only been Prime Minister for a few years, and the supreme authority who has just returned to China has been the Secretary-General of the Cabinet for many years.

The workers went to Buckingham Palace to petition the Queen to intervene in the Prime Minister's decision-making. This was a breaking news for the UK, and it was also for Mrs. Thatcher. In front of the returned Alan Wilson, Mrs. Thatcher said that she did not have this right, Alan Wilson He gave an honest answer, "In theory, of course, but it will pay an unimaginable price."

Mrs. Thatcher glared, and said in a bad tone, "You once said you would give me firm support, but at critical moments, you were not by my side."

"Prime Minister, please pay attention to your wording." Alan Wilson coughed softly. If the scene were changed, it would look like a wife complaining endlessly to her husband.

"That's how it is." Mrs. Thatcher not only didn't stop, she vented her dissatisfaction even more, "You all look down on me as a woman, and I'm all for the interests of Britain."

The corner of Alan Wilson's mouth twitched, that is to say, there are many people in the free world, and the probability of fault tolerance is high. If there are more prime ministers who defend the national interests like this, it is a question of whether British citizens can live well.

The first thousand and 540 chapters and seven queens abide by the principle of neutrality

The Prime Minister is talking about it. If you say it, someone will believe it. After all, Mrs. Thatcher's reputation has always been like this, and it has been like this since the milk issue when she was the Minister of Education.

But, it can be forgiven by Allen Wilson here. After he calmed down a little, he said, "Her Majesty is a very calm person. I still believe that Her Majesty will not pay attention to the petitions of the workers, although She theoretically has the power to do so."

It must be emphasized that if the queen does not do it, it does not mean that the queen cannot do it, but after careful weighing and comprehensive consideration, it may cause harm to this country.

Alan Wilson also reminded this point, "The Prime Minister has a term of office, but Her Majesty the Queen does not. I also remind from a personal point of view that you must treat Her Majesty the Queen with respect."

"I go to the palace every week, and there is no prime minister who goes to the palace more frequently than me." Mrs. Thatcher was dissatisfied. What she said was the truth, and she was indeed the most diligent prime minister who went to the palace.

"Uh, it always has nothing to do with harmonious relations." Alan Wilson said in his heart that the most annoying thing about Her Majesty is you. The knighthood you stepped down as Prime Minister was lucky to catch up with the suicide of the Soviet Union. Will commit suicide, or still want to be knighted?

The prime minister who has the worst relationship with the Queen is Margaret Thatcher, which is well known in the UK.

The queen is a very traditional Victorian aristocratic style. She loves country life and various traditional lifestyles. She is pampered and wants to maintain a detached and neutral image of the king of a country. Mrs. Thatcher is a typical right-wing political elite in capitalist society.

The most conflicting thing is that Mrs. Thatcher has firmly stood behind the white regime in South Africa in history. South Africa has long been cast aside by the whole world in the 80s. The United States dare not stand for South Africa. The United Kingdom led by Mrs. Thatcher is South Africa’s largest Backing, Mrs Thatcher can be called the biggest enemy of the entire Commonwealth of Nations.

Mrs. Thatcher’s style basically looks down on the European Community first, the Commonwealth of Nations second, and Eastern Europe including the Soviet Union third. The only thing that really promotes it is the special relationship between Britain and the United States. In terms of foreign policy, we must guard against this female prime minister.

It took him decades to keep several royal territories, as well as Britain's presence in the Middle East, if it was lost by the female prime minister.

The supreme authority can honestly say that privatization alone puts the British industry in the hands of reliable people, and it is not enough to save the lives of Mrs. Thatcher's family.

But now he still wants to give Mrs. Thatcher firm support, and comfort the female prime minister who is in the middle of it with good words. Unknowingly, he has walked behind Mrs. Thatcher, put his hands on the other's shoulders, "I'll go there The royal palace, let’s find out what the queen means, and the trouble won’t get out of hand.”

"Okay, you!" Mrs. Thatcher was in a blank state, and she avoided it like an electric shock. Part of the reason for the blank mind was the actions of the cabinet secretary.

"Then I will leave the Prime Minister." Alan Wilson directly oiled the soles of his feet, and turned back when he walked to the door. "It is a document signed during a visit to the Soviet Union. As the Prime Minister, you have to read it anyway."

Before the lingering sound fell, Mrs. Thatcher was left alone in the office. Alan Wilson walked quickly, but he had to hurry, otherwise who knew whether the prime minister would be rude.

Facts have proved that this kind of thing in series should be done less. Although there are only a thousand workers petitioning outside Buckingham Palace, which is not too many, it is also an extremely rare event. Alan Wilson gave up his beloved Gintama and replaced it with a more friendly one. The Land Rover, in the bulletproof version of course, went into Buckingham Palace, so that it would be somewhat unobtrusive.

Radwig performed his duty as a driver, and listened to the secretary-general of the cabinet behind him yelling that he should do less of such operations in the future, so he could only say, "I will definitely pay attention next time."

"It's better not to have a next time. This is to see Margaret just came to power. If her support rate is stable, I will not do this kind of thing." Alan Wilson shook his head. Now Mrs. Thatcher's support rate is Unsteady, not too daring to get angry, what if after the Falklands War?Just look at the larger miners strike to see the outcome.

"Margaret?" Radwig raised his eyebrows. When did the relationship between the supreme authority and the prime minister reach such a point?How did he not find out before?

That is naturally because, at that time, it was still early, and the remnants of World War II represented by Radwich had not yet entered into in-depth cooperation with Alan Wilson.

It may be that they were educated by the Royal Mounted Police. The steel workers' petitioners outside Buckingham Palace can be said to be orderly, and they can be said to be a model of strike movement.

Alan Wilson did not come to Buckingham Palace as many times as Mrs. Thatcher, the prime minister. As she claimed, she would come to see the Queen every week without interruption.After all, Alan Wilson has a lot of things to do, not to mention weekends, and he doesn't have time on weekdays.

Prince Philip has been waiting. Recently, because of the steel workers' petition, he didn't sleep well. After all, the workers are outside, saying that they don't know what will happen.

The Queen and his wife defaulted to Pamela Mountbatten's husband, the current cabinet secretary-general is a key figure in the cabinet, but when the strike started, Alan Wilson went directly to the Soviet Union, which made the two confused, and even married in private During the communication between the two, I felt that Alan Wilson was unreliable.

But since they came to the door, Prince Philip naturally couldn't express his real thoughts, asking about the itinerary of the visit to the Soviet Union and what consensus was reached.

"It's still quite cold in Moscow at this time." Alan Wilson replied cautiously, "But I believe it's colder than the steel workers' hearts. Aren't they all protesting outside the palace?"

"I don't know how they persist." Speaking of this issue, Prince Philip was also very surprised. In such a cold day, he even came to London to petition. Don't they want to live?

There must have been someone, someone sympathetic to the steelworkers who helped, like some civil servant who didn't want to be named, maybe someone from the Labor Party, and so on.

However, it is not suitable for Prince Philip to know about this matter. Alan Wilson hummed and perfunctory, and said, "Her Majesty the Queen's position is justified or not. There is a downside to acting as if nothing happened. Dealing with this kind of issue is like dealing with the Prime Minister's attitude, to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses."
