"This matter requires our two countries to communicate well." Bush Sr. still adopted an evasive policy towards the United States should adopt a more leadership attitude.
If it is only a proxy war, the United States is not afraid to support Pakistan, but it is afraid that it will cause a direct conflict with the Soviet Union. The Soviet army exists in Afghanistan, and the United States also has de facto military forces in Pakistan. If the two countries cooperate If there is an exchange of fire between military personnel, it will be a big problem.
Of course, in normal times, the United States is still willing to show its ability as a world hegemon in front of some countries, but the best targets are countries such as Nicaragua, Grenada, and Panama.
Allen Wilson had a clear view of this situation. One of the consequences of the Vietnam War was that the Americans did not believe that their army could win the war.
This is completely contrary to the perception of British citizens now. This is not to say that Britain’s current military strength surpasses that of the United States.
It's just that the citizens of the two countries are different in terms of heart and spirit. Just like now, the Soviets don't feel that there is a big problem in their own country. Last year, they were still in the West.
Speaking of this issue, Bush Sr. also talked about the post-war situation in Argentina at this time. Galtieri’s position must be unstable. Now Argentina only needs to land at Buenos Aires Airport, and there are signs of war everywhere. trauma.
The vast airport has only one main runway that can be used, and around it, piles of broken aircraft wreckage are piled on the ground.A large piece of the roof of the tall airport building was burned, and the walls were blackened by smoke.
Whenever people step out of the cabin, a strong smell of gasoline hits their nostrils.There seemed to be a thin layer of smog in the air, and visibility was extremely poor.The spacious waiting room was packed with people, most of them came to welcome their relatives who escaped the war abroad.
Alan Wilson was of course not at all interested in the masterpieces of the British army. He even suspected that Bush Sr. was connoting Britain. In the end, Foreign Secretary Francis Pym answered, "Dear Vice President, there is no one who does not die in war." .British troops have exercised the utmost restraint."
The greatest restraint is manifested in the release of [-] tons of aerial bombs per day by the United Kingdom, the destruction of Argentina's livelihood facilities, and the massive economic losses caused. ,
At present, it seems that Argentina will definitely not be able to repay the US$120 billion loan before the end of the year, but the World Bank has proposed a more constructive plan, which requires a greater degree of development in the privatization reform.
Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, because of the death of Brezhnev who led the country for nearly 20 years, the Soviet people have entered into mourning, no matter what the Soviet Union looks like in other countries.
But during the Brezhnev period, the Slavs reached the highest international status since the birth of civilization, and even overwhelmed the United States in the past few years. Every Soviet citizen is full of pride.
There are Soviet friends all over the world. Compared with these Soviet friends, the delegations of the United Kingdom and the United States seem to be a bit out of place, especially Alan Wilson. He also heard that the mission of a certain big country was received by the Soviet Union with high standards. I was so angry that I wanted to jump out and shout no.
Even Bush Sr. noticed the constipated expression of the British cabinet secretary, but to be honest, he was also unwilling to see the improvement of the relationship between the two countries.
"Countries that challenge authority cannot stay, otherwise Britain would not have fought two world wars with the Germans." Alan Wilson proceeded purely from instinct, without personal prejudice.
Bush Sr. turned his head, hoping he didn’t think too much. He always felt that when Alan Wilson mentioned Germany’s fate, he implied that the United States was lucky to have Germans as scapegoats twice. Germany is already our ally, sir, don't dwell on past conflicts."
"Every time I think of Germany being divided and never being reunited, it makes me feel better." Alan Wilson said gratefully, "This is the only place I have resonance with the Soviet Union."
Alekseev, who was inspecting the security work of the Kremlin and part of the security work in Moscow, did not know that his blood-related father was here again on such a solemn occasion.
Alan Wilson asked the diplomats around him to give the Soviet Culture Tsar a gift, the new edition of the history textbook in [-], please accept it if it is not a respect.
Fultseva was the Minister of Education of the Soviet Union, and she can definitely see the difference. Regarding the approach of two countries, one definite enemy and one potential enemy, Bush Sr. also expressed his views. The Vice President As an ambassador to China, he believes that the method of bribery is safer, but he does not object to the British's sowing discord.
The supreme authority has arranged a bunch of cultural itineraries for himself, and during this itinerary, he can always find an opportunity to talk to Fultseva, "I am very happy to see that Katya is still in good condition."
"The secretary-general of the cabinet is quite courageous. During the state funeral, he applied for so many visits from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Did he not take the Soviet seriously? Maybe he thought that the victory of the Falklands War allowed Britain to find its former glory .” Fultseva replied calmly, not sarcastically.
"I know in my heart that Britain is no longer the world's hegemon. The stage now belongs to you and the United States. The current situation is acceptable to the United Kingdom. The stronger the Soviet Union, the better the United States' attitude towards other countries, and vice versa. , it is true that the triangle will be more stable. However, the national strength of the United Kingdom is really not up to the standard of a third-party force, unless we are one country with France."
If Britain and France were one country, with Newfoundland, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Rhodesia, Malaya, and Xiangjiang temporarily in hand, plus the mainland of France and Algeria, it would be considered as the whole country. The victory of the empire on which the sun never sets cannot be compared, and I believe it can also be on an equal footing with the United States and the Soviet Union.
"Isn't that true? Isn't that strong lady very tough?" Fortseva's eyes showed a trace of contempt, obviously she didn't like Mrs. Thatcher, a prime minister who had nothing to do but fired cannons.
"Mrs. Meir and Indira Gandhi are no more iron-fisted than her. If internal toughness is called iron-fisted, isn't Mr. Chang an iron-blooded war god?"
Alan Wilson laughed loudly, and then murmured at Fultseva, "What ability does she have? I am determined to fight the Falklands War. I am determined to organize a [-] expeditionary force. According to her idea, then Just take the Falkland Islands back."
After uncovering the mystery, Alan Wilson said, "If nothing else happens, the power of your country has fallen into the hands of Andropov. Look, my vision is not very accurate."
Fultseva was silent and just about to say something, when she heard Alan Wilson say, "But the youngest person in your highest power level is the guy with the map on his head, and he is a proper wine bag. I think the Soviet Union If it falls into his hands, there will be no good life in the future."
"Have you ever seen him, and really thought you were in London and could see through everything just by looking at him?"
Fultseva felt that the other party was destroying her trust for many years. There was a reason for other things, but Mikhail was a person who only entered the core of power in the past few years. Such cadres are everywhere in the Soviet Union, and this may also fall. In the eyes of the British, do you really think you are the omnipotent Zero Zero Seven in the movie?
"Something really happened, remember to tell Alyosha to contact me." Alan Wilson didn't explain, and directly ordered Fultseva, and then said, "Take care of your health, cadres at your level are not small, right? Andropov is not in good health, and Chernenko seems to be in poor condition. Anyway, your medical treatment is reimbursed by the public, and it is not in vain in your position. If I reform, the first thing is to make medical treatment The property rights of the villa have been divided among you. It's a pity, considering the huge gap between power and real interests, who would dare to leave the leadership position easily?"
Anyway, he is a man of the same status as her husband, and his concern is absolutely sincere. Fultseva did not make a sound, but responded with a small nod, and received the concern of the supreme authority.
With full of praise for Soviet culture, Alan Wilson returned to his own camp, and his words were full of praise for the Soviet Union. Bush Sr. felt amused, "Is Sir serious?"
"Of course, it's better to praise the culture than to praise the Soviet Union's 1 tanks, [-] armored vehicles, [-] nuclear submarines, and more than [-] combat aircraft. Should I praise the Soviet Union's nearly [-] nuclear bombs?" Ai Ren Wilson looked embarrassed. Now that the enemy is at hand, you, the United States, don't try to harvest the attention of Europe. It's too ugly. There are really some countries that will vote for the Communist Party.
Brezhnev's funeral took place as scheduled, with speeches by Andropov, Dmitry Ustinov, Anatoly Aleksandrov and a worker's representative.
Among the high-level Soviet officials present was an inconspicuous figure standing like a minion who had just been evaluated by the cultural tsar as not a gentleman.
The orchestra played the Soviet national anthem, the church bells rang, and the Soviet troops present saluted Brezhnev in the tomb.Then the Soviet army conducted a military parade on Red Square.
The delegations of the United Kingdom and the United States were at odds with a group of Soviet dog-legged countries, and left Moscow immediately after the funeral.The foreign minister returned home directly, and the cabinet secretary landed in Stockholm, and then planned to go to Bonn, Paris, and then return to London.
"Are you going to take away my pension money?" Greta Garbo looked at the uninvited guest in front of her and said very bluntly.
"Why do you think so, I do need some funds, but I will definitely not let you lose money." Alan Wilson said sincerely, "Don't you believe me?"
Although he came to borrow money, he was as confident as the supreme authority. Fanta Company gave it to Lovisa himself. This time he went to Moscow and planned to sell Fanta after entering the Iron Curtain. How could Garbo doubt him?This is so sad.
Chapters 590 and [-] are all for the general election
"I'm just an ordinary old woman now, so I can't believe that you can still treat me like before." They are all people who know the basics, and Greta Garbo doesn't have to hide her own thoughts.
She is already at this age, but she dare not expect this man to be the same as before. This idea is correct, but it just doesn't take into account that Alan Wilson himself still has a long golden period, especially for those who are involved in politics. He's too young to come here and swindle Hollywood celebrities.
What a smart woman for so many years, now she is getting confused now. Since she has doubts, Alan Wilson will naturally explain what she is doing with the borrowing money, and compared to the funds needed, Garbo's share should not be a big amount.
"At least you should believe in my patriotism. I am going to use the money from the two major British foundations to do finance together." Alan Wilson flaunted his patriotism at this time, "I am not only here to find you, but also Ready to find other friends."
"Such as Heidi and Ingrid?" Greta Garbo's attitude relaxed a bit, "I can't compete with them all the time, only 1000 million US dollars."
"It's enough. Fortunately, ordinary people can't hear what you said, otherwise it would be a problem. I will give Lovisa a receipt, so you can rest assured?" Alan Wilson replied with a good attitude, "How can I talk to your husband? With the same status, how could they lie to you."
"That's right, but I've never been married, and I don't have a husband." Greta Garbo sighed to herself, but she was still succeeded by this man. He gave her body more than 30 years ago, and now she even has to hand over pension funds.
At this time, Alan Wilson has no demeanor of supreme authority. He is completely a beggar who licks his face. He lived in Stockholm for a day, borrowed money when he arrived in Bonn, borrowed money when he arrived in Paris, and returned to London.
Finally, Arnold was called over. As capital for financial operations in the Japanese market, Arnold flipped through the checks and said in a low voice, "Father, how much public funds have you embezzled? I don't think it's worth it."
"Go aside." Alan Wilson swore righteously, "I have been a civil servant for so many years, and I have not embezzled even a kopeck, no, it is a penny of public funds. This is all borrowed through contacts. This is my life. network accumulation."
"Maybe I can't understand how you accumulated a total of 15 billion pounds of connections."
Arnold was in awe of his father, and he had an immature idea that these checks from banks in Sweden, France, Germany, and the UK should come from ladies of the same status as his wife.
If his father, the secretary-general of the cabinet, hadn't consumed his credit too much, it would be terrible. He could borrow so much money by the way when he went out for visits. How much can he get out of a good discussion?
Of course, the supreme authority can't consume the credit of the same status as her husband too much. They all have their own industries and investment projects. How could he drain the working capital with a single sentence?But it's time?
When Arnold was in a daze, Alan Wilson took out a piece of paper, "This is my personal sponsorship fund for you, and it is worth 30 billion pounds. The Japanese are very inflated now. Don't lose face to the British."
"This is your money?" Hao Da'er was taken aback by this, and asked in a voice softer than a mosquito, "Does mother know? You still have so much unknown cash?"
"Maybe you know, maybe you don't know, don't ask this kind of Schrödinger question." Alan Wilson put his hands in his trouser pockets and taught Hao Daer, "I'm not a good public official and I always get involved in capital operations, so follow my arrangement , with Xiangjiang as the base camp, remotely operate the Japanese financial market, but before arriving in Xiangjiang, in my name, talk to the justices of the peace in Malaya, and you should be able to borrow some, so as not to affect the liquidity of other people’s industries .”
"After entering the Japanese stock market, don't think about getting fat all at once, and don't always think about short-term profits. When it's time to make a move, the country's money will enter the market. There are still two foundations in Whitehall."
"Don't always take money from your sister, it's so big, Pamela still needs money to protect wild animals, not to mention, hippos taste pretty good."
After a lot of teaching, let Arnold figure out when to start. Anyway, he will be very busy now, and there will be a work summary meeting at the end of the year, not to mention the prime minister's problem.
According to the practice of the Kingdom of Great Britain, the term of each government is supposed to be five years, but it is rare for a general election to be held after the term expires.
The ruling party is generally willing to seize the most favorable opportunity for the party to dissolve the parliament in advance and announce the holding of general elections.Now that the prime minister is halfway through his term of office, he has just fought a war that has attracted the attention of the world. Many people believe that this is a good opportunity to hold a general election.
Holding a general election at this time is the best time to take advantage of the prestige after the Falklands War. If another year passes, the positive impact of the Falklands War on the Conservative Party may dissipate.
Therefore, it is generally believed that the female prime minister will judge the situation, seize the fleeting golden opportunity, and hold a general election in advance.
Other favorable factors, for example, the domestic economy has begun to show signs of improvement, the privatization policy has made initial progress, is generally welcomed by the business community, their investment interest and confidence have a strong momentum, and the unemployment rate has been compared with the The highest number exceeded 200 million, and there has been a decline to a certain extent. This is all good news.
Monetarist policies have paid off, and the prospects for economic recovery are optimistic. Now is the time to make the most of the good times.
Mrs. Thatcher indeed convened the remaining loyal ministers after several cabinet reshuffles to discuss the timing of the general election. This is what Alan Wilson heard from Profumo.
As for the opponents of the Conservative Party, Callahan has resigned as the leader of the Labor Party after the Falklands War. His departure has further intensified the contradictions in the party. Owen and William Rogers announced their separation from the Labor Party and formed a new center party "Social Democrats" with Roy Jenkins.
The Social Democrats who splintered from within the Labor Party were vying for Labor turf and could not pose a threat to the Conservatives.
The struggle between the left and right factions of the Labor Party for the post of deputy leader has further exacerbated the division within the Labor Party and weakened the strength of the Labor Party.
This is equivalent to Cheney running for election, which will only weaken the Republican Party. There is nothing new under the sun, and history always advances amidst twists and turns.
"The Prime Minister intends to hold a general election in June, that is, half a year later." Profumo, a minister who is not clear about minors, disclosed the news to his good friend and supreme authority.
"It seems that it is impossible to solve the miners' union during this term. What a pity." Alan Wilson replied with regret, "Now the Prime Minister has taken the initiative. The situation on the Labor Party side is not optimistic. I believe that the conservative The party is now full of confidence."
Profumo did not speak, but the expression on his face was obviously acquiescing. If not full of confidence, not all ministers would agree to hold a general election in June.
However, before the general election, there was one thing that quickly attracted Alan Wilson's attention. It may be the border war between Afghanistan and Pakistan, together with the Iran-Iraq war that Iran has begun to counterattack, which made the Saudis feel the need for security. Advance quickly.
As the ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar is still looking for opportunities to see if he can break through the obstacles of the Israeli lobby group. However, Prince Abdullah, who has just become the crown prince, sees the four countries of the Church of Peace are caught in a fight. We are waiting for the news from Prince Bandar, and decide to work with the British side to advance the specific affairs of arms sales.
Of course, this aroused the interest of Alan Wilson. On this day, Alan Wilson found Mark, who had always been regarded as his own son, and asked him to contribute to this matter that was beneficial to the country.
"How can I do it specifically?" After hearing this, Mark was full of gratitude, and thanked the cabinet secretary who cared about him like a father for providing such a chance to make a fortune.
"Specifically, there is no need to do anything specifically. As the prime minister's son, appearing in the communication itself shows that the UK attaches great importance to this. I believe that after the deal is concluded, the Saudi side will definitely thank you."
Alan Wilson said confidently, "Of course, you have to be careful, the Prime Minister is preparing for an early general election. Keep it secret!"
Compared with Saudi Arabia's large arms sales order, when the prime minister plans to hold a general election is a fart. Alan Wilson doesn't care about the result of the general election at all. Eating it alone will save you from long nights and dreams.
For formal arms sales negotiations, the supreme authority will naturally send professionals to do it. As the prime minister's son, Mark doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the opportunity to operate in the dark.
While finding a job for the Prime Minister's son, the Thatchers took a special plane to the Falkland Islands to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Falkland Islands becoming a British territory.
The Prime Minister and his wife immediately entered into the space between the British subjects and the British troops stationed on the island in high spirits, chatting and laughing freely, and comforting them a lot.Seeing the elegant and amiable Prime Minister of the British Empire, these soldiers and civilians couldn't help cheering.
A grand and very warm welcome was held on the island.When Mrs. Thatcher inspected the Falkland Islands, which had just been baptized by the flames of war, her hair and clothes looked disheveled under the sea breeze, which highlighted the prime minister's daily care and showed her love for the soldiers and civilians who guard the island far away from the country. .Under the flashing spotlight, precious historical shots were left behind.
"The Prime Minister is going to the Falkland Islands at this time, isn't he?" Armstrong said, carrying out the daily work of a civil servant, connoting a politician.
"Politicians are all for the election, there is nothing incomprehensible." Alan Wilson yawned, "Watching politicians insulting and attacking each other every day is part of our lives."
The first thousand and 590 chapters and three Yingsha meet each other
The newspaper carried a full-page speech to the Falkland Islands by the Prime Minister, "We sometimes feel that history is happening to others, but we suddenly find that we are making history on this island."
In fact, Mrs. Thatcher traveled thousands of miles, was not afraid of risks, and worked tirelessly to come to the Falkland Islands, which was in danger of war, because she had a wishful thinking.
She not only wanted to gain political capital for herself, drawing the attention of the people of her country to her foresight and hard work, but also to secure the victory of this war and find a symbolic foothold for Britain in Latin America, where its influence was extremely limited. to revive the power of a nation that once ruled a quarter of the world.
Margaret Thatcher has already started preparing for the general election since her trip to the Falkland Islands, but the first place to canvass votes is this remote island full of less than 2000 people.
What is there to care about for Alan Wilson?He and the prime minister are not in the same system, and he doesn't take it seriously for the female prime minister who clearly wants to be re-elected, but has never explained her intentions.
Of course, the secretary-general of the cabinet has his own job, and he is having a meeting to discuss how to avoid the centralization tendency of the trade union, mainly to disintegrate the undemocratic issues within the trade union. With a certain degree of centralization, it is impossible to fight against the government.
Therefore, the key to smoothing out the trade unions is to create a democratic soil among the major trade unions. In this way, if there is a wave of strikes, the democratized trade unions do not have a strong leadership, and the government will have much less trouble.
For example, if there is a strike, there will be scabs, and using scabs to break up strikes is a standing option for the government.
However, after World War II, the spillover of the influence of the Soviet Union led to the tendency of centralization in the organizational structure of trade unions in various countries. In this way, a few prestigious leaders can use their prestige to rally a wide range of supporters, which allows the government to use scabs become extremely difficult.
However, the democratized trade union organization seems to have more people discussing it, and everyone has the right to speak. What is obliterated is the most important organizational power of the trade union. If a trade union does not have organizational power, how can it be on the government's side? There is no leader in the opponent, so it is naturally impossible to forcefully curb the emergence of scabs.
Therefore, to deal with trade unions, the means is to democratize the trade unions, and the purpose is to let the trade unions end up with Sasha. Once there is a wave of strikes, we must respect the right of some workers not to strike, so as to avoid the former union leader suppressing people who love their work and making them fall into isolation.
When trade union leaders have no way to suppress groups that do not follow the strike and allow scabs to gain influence, this kind of strike is like a broken house to the government, and it will collapse if the supreme authority kicks it.
"The solution is a good one, but politics must be balanced, and the power of the trade unions must not be too disintegrated. The Conservative Party is too strong, which is also disadvantageous from our point of view. The government is a transparent government, so the Labor Party should know about it. , huh? After the general election, I know it is more appropriate. During this privatization, many colleagues have encountered temporary job rotations. They may have some grievances in their hearts, but don’t vent their grievances on the general election.”
Alan Wilson, who presided over the meeting, hoped that civil servants should think about the country and not vent their dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party because of civil servant layoffs. He believes that civil servants know the general situation.
But if you have to be a supporter of the Labor Party, Whitehall certainly can't do anything to your colleagues.
The doctor in white said to Suzanne with a relieved tone, "Ms. Vivien Leigh's problem is not serious, just take more rest."
"Thank you, doctor." Suzanne hurriedly thanked her, looking at her mother who had woken up with concern, and Great Britain Treasure looked in the direction of the door after waking up, "Is no one coming?"
"Except for your daughter, who cares about you so much." Suzanne complained angrily, and began to say to herself, "It's better for me to react quickly, otherwise you will be in danger."
"No, someone will definitely come." Vivien Li shook her head stubbornly, she believed that her man would never leave her alone.
The most important thing between a man and a woman is trust. When he was repeatedly insisting on his own opinion with his daughter, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the figure of Alan Wilson appeared at the door, "Oh, Susanna, you are also here."
Greeting politely to his ex-husband's daughter, Alan Wilson sat down with a bag of bananas, and complained to Vivien Leigh, "So careless, Vivienne, how much work you have delayed me, you know the people I come into contact with every day If the information is quantified, it is an astronomical figure."
"I didn't pay attention." Vivien Leigh was pua but didn't know it, and she admitted her mistake with an apologetic look, "I was not careful, there must be other things to keep you busy."
Suzanne felt like an outsider, and when she was thinking about leaving, Alan Wilson had already thanked, "Vivian really needs the company of your daughter, and it's really thanks to you that I fainted this time. There are no words to thank you enough.”
"As a daughter, this is what I should do." Susanna replied to the man with the same status as her father in front of her. "David is not in London, so I have this responsibility."
"As for David, he has been really busy recently. He cracked a cocaine case and smuggled it into Xiangjiang through Coca-Cola, which is a rare major case in recent years."
