British civil servant

Why use Unilever as a metaphor? The main reason is that Unilever has just made a decision to fully enter the market of a big country, and is consulting Whitehall for precautions. Of course, Alan Wilson suggested that Yangcheng in the Pearl River Delta be used as a strategic base. The potential of the Pearl River Delta is not as great as that of Shanghai, but it can better rely on Xiangjiang for development.

The imperial capital focuses on supporting the magic capital, and completes the change of the policy that my big magic capital depends on my own efforts and never eats. It needs to enter the 90s before it starts to vigorously promote.

Theoretically, Alan Wilson of course hopes that Unilever will set up its headquarters in the imperial capital, but a daily necessities company is not greatly affected by the policy.

As for the Chinese translation, it is difficult for Alan Wilson to ask Unilever for the naming fee, as they are all British companies and one family does not speak two languages.

As for the suggestion to wait for an opportunity to buy Zhonghua Toothpaste, even if he gave Unilever a friendly suggestion, the relationship between Unilever and his wife is very harmonious anyway, and it is all for the unity of domestic capital.

"By the way, Prime Minister, I want to make an adjustment to various departments, and I will come back to discuss with you when I have specific ideas." Alan Wilson patted his head, expressing that he would make a thorough personnel adjustment to Whitehall, "and Your strength in forming a cabinet is about the same, and the prime minister should not be concealed whether it is emotional or reasonable."

After Mrs. Thatcher came to power for a few years, Alan Wilson felt that the relationship between the two had been considered harmonious, and the personnel arrangement for Whitehall should start. Now a large number of ministers in the government are younger than Alan Wilson. A batch of executive deputy ministers who are approaching their retirement age will cooperate with these ministers.

And when the overall situation can still be controlled, for these hard-working civil servants who have dedicated their lives to the country, they should find a post that can give full play to their waste heat.Since the relationship with Mrs. Thatcher is harmonious, things should be arranged at this time.

Mrs. Thatcher agreed, "Show me the list when the time comes, and tell me that I am also the prime minister."

"No one has ever said that you are not the prime minister, my prime minister." Alan Wilson said in support of the prime minister, "but the civil servants and the parliament are different systems."

"I heard that a women's rights movement is applying for a rally." Mrs. Thatcher asked, "How are you going to deal with it? This is not the first time you Whitehall have faced this kind of thing."

"I approved more than one rally, I just hope they don't fight." Alan Wilson said in a tone wrapped around me, how could he punch hard at the women's boxing parade?Similarly, he can't strike hard at the demonstrations of minority beliefs, otherwise isn't that obvious discrimination?But if peace believers fight women's rights, it has nothing to do with them.

Look at the city on the top of the hill. I, Daying, will only demonstrate once and tell you how to use magic to defeat magic. With this example, I believe that the United States will be more handy when facing similar problems.

Two days later, [-] peace believers were disturbed by women's rights marches while they were praying, and the news of conflicts leading to violent incidents hit the headlines of major British newspapers overnight.

The entire Whitehall has once again entered the working state, and put out all the fire from the aspects of policy, public opinion and implementation.

Alan Wilson once again accepted the BBC TV interview in his capacity as cabinet secretary to discuss new issues about society in the new era, and at the same time express his views on this incident.Try to calm down the incident in a polite and polite manner, and the sanctimonious gesture is disgusting.

This is especially true of Mrs. Thatcher. She only now knows what Alan Wilson meant when he said a few days ago that more than one group of gatherings was approved.

"How to deal with this is a very difficult question. We respect women's rights, otherwise someone will criticize the government for disrespecting women. We also respect peace believers, otherwise we are religious discrimination. So this question is very difficult." Alan Wilson Without any intention of ridicule, this round of peace and mud started.

For a while, he talked about the greatness of the Peace Church, and for a while he respected women's rights, and then he said some questions that the host did not ask at all, such as the question that according to the survey, a large number of local male members of the Peace Church have converted their beliefs.

"Why did this happen?" Because the news was so explosive, the host didn't feel that he had been turned against the guest at all. You must know that issues such as religious beliefs and women's rights are sensitive issues. The BBC had never thought that Alan Wilson would be interviewed. .

"Because many believers believe that there is no messy women's rights issue in the country of the Peace Church. This is also the conclusion that emerged after the investigation after the fact. We have neglected the religion's views on women's rights." Alan Wilson explained compassionately, " If we had discovered this problem earlier, the tragedy of seven people would not have died, which is so sad."

Alan Wilson, who looked distressed on the surface but actually felt nothing in his heart and even wanted to laugh, remained silent for a long time, as if immersed in grief, the host couldn't help asking, "What's the solution?"

"God's to God, we can't solve the things of Allah. I hope that similar incidents will not happen again in the future." Alan Wilson's rare honest answer, without using rhetoric, how to solve it?Can the United Kingdom, an electoral country, be decisive?

But fortunately, it is possible to make a bad comparison. Alan Wilson brought the topic to France and the United States. France also has the problem of foreign immigrants, and the United States also has the problem of black people. At present, everyone has no way to solve it.

It can only be treated as if there is no next time, what if there is really a next time?Of course, the government is severely condemning, and has taken all preventive measures, except to solve the problem.

Alan Wilson made this issue public with a very honest attitude, and then complained, "So sometimes the government is also embarrassed, and I can even use this to lead to another question, how do we treat homosexuality? You must know that homosexuality is A more hidden issue than the feminist movement, the gay community can follow the path of the feminist movement. If these two groups meet, which side will the public stand on? Is it discrimination to choose a side?"

"If a humble attitude is adopted in the face of religion and women's rights, if homosexuality becomes profitable, will there be impersonation of homosexuality? How to deal with the crime of impersonating homosexuality? This cognitive problem may It will destroy our country. Are we already giving in to women’s rights, but not gays? Isn’t this discrimination?”

"Women's rights and homosexuality are still different, right?" The host asked dumbfounded, "Secretary-General, do you want to say that you have nothing to do about this conflict?"

"Someone once proposed to adopt an absolutely fair method, such as allowing British women to enter the army, making up half of the army. But there are also problems." Alan Wilson said helplessly, "In some countries, the military discipline issue is described as nonsense. Female soldiers have been widely harmed, so I still reject this proposal. I believe women will also refuse."

This interview was full of political incorrectness. Some remarks caused widespread protests by British women. Some women came to Whitehall Street to protest, holding banners saying that women are no worse than men and willing to serve in the army. Then people from the conscription department came to register Soon, the protests scattered like birds and beasts, but the whole process was faithfully recorded by cameras and became a talking point for citizens.

Feminist organizations were outraged, arguing that women's rights had been set back almost 100 years in Britain, and asked Mrs Thatcher to ask the cabinet secretary to apologize.

"Sir, what do you think?" Mrs. Thatcher felt that the people's hearts were available, and she wanted to let Alan Wilson understand who was the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

"Margaret, you are patriarchal yourself. Carol has talked about it with my daughter Pamela. You have not cared about her in her life experience." Alan Wilson has long said Prepared, directly exposed the prime minister's disguise, "Actually, you can ignore the appeal, right? Anyway, the prime minister is not a person who values ​​public opinion. This is a well-known fact in the UK."

Mrs. Thatcher glared at the cabinet secretary who mocked her, "It seems that our cabinet secretary has been prepared for a long time. It's really surprising."

"Dear Prime Minister, it's almost the same as when you ordered the Royal Mounted Police to beat the workers." Alan Wilson walked behind the Prime Minister and whispered in his ear, "Aren't women easier to bully than those strong workers?" Isn't it? I learned this from you."

Obviously, the final result of this incident was nothing. Alan Wilson borrowed the parade incident and practiced what it felt like to defeat magic with magic.

The first thousand and 640 chapters are so big that they ask for help

"It seems that if a civil servant stays in the position for a long time, there will be a possibility of covering the sky with one hand." Mrs. Thatcher felt the breath behind her, and teased the daring cabinet secretary.

"There are many systems in this world. For example, our country's system is invincible. Other countries have no smart ideas. They are all bullshit. Don't learn from the United States."

Alan Wilson smiled and said, "As long as there is enough time, any system can be disintegrated. The free world always advertises itself as clean, but what is the revolving door? If you follow the standards of the Soviet Union, after your prime minister steps down , Because Mark was involved in Saudi arms sales, it is not too much to be shot."

"We oppose the Soviet Union not because they are evil, but because the Soviets disturbed the self-interested order we built. It's that simple, otherwise? Madam Prime Minister?"

Mrs. Thatcher had never felt that the other party's voice was so harsh. She said dissatisfiedly, "Did you obtain your wealth through this method? It seems that you have definitely done similar things."

"Part of it was added after the Prime Minister was privatized. The whole Whitehall and the nobles will thank you, I can guarantee it."

Alan Wilson saw that the time to retire was not far away. During the last time of leading Whitehall, he was in a state of clear thinking. It was not that he disrespected the Prime Minister, but that he could communicate with the other party more peacefully.

Now the situation is very good. After more than six years of privatization reforms, most of the industries accumulated in the UK over the past few decades have fallen into the hands of reliable groups.

As for the external environment, although the Soviet Union has not yet shown any obvious deficits, the map has initially shown a tendency to compromise. The secretary general of the cabinet has worked hard all his life, so it is not too much to relax, right?

The only omission is the issue of Whitehall's successor. He still has to think carefully about it now, and strive to settle things during Mrs. Thatcher's tenure.

The future of the children is almost arranged. Some people invest, some do business, they are in different fields, and they are even competitors. For example, the industry of the Dragoon sisters actually has something in common with Pamela Mountbatten’s industry. A lot, the difference is that Pamela Mountbatten still controls a large amount of raw materials, which is incomparable to the Dragoon sisters.

Garbo's child, Lovisa Gustaf, manages Fanta, and Heidi Rama's child, Heydrich, also owns the Austrian Red Bull Group. Everyone has a bright future for each other.

Seeing the infinitely bright future, although Allen Wilson is still benefiting the society in Whitehall, he has already entered the days of retirement early in spirit, and the communication with the Prime Minister will naturally not always be so restrained.

When the idea is clear, the communication is easy. When Mrs. Thatcher talked about whether she wanted to visit the United States again, whether it was a bit too frequent, Alan Wilson directly agreed with both hands, "Actually, in the past 20 years, every visit to the United States I was very much in favor of it, so my Prime Minister, do it boldly.”

Although Alan Wilson had already explained it before, Reagan's so-called reduction of nuclear weapons was just talking casually, and he didn't expect that the map leader would really agree to it all at once.

But if Mrs. Thatcher didn't feel tired, she insisted on meeting with Reagan to make sure. Why would he object?

Mrs Thatcher's purpose was nothing more than that the Soviets might use the 'Strategic Defense Initiative' and President Reagan's wishful thinking of a nuclear-weapon-free world to pursue their disarmament of Europe, leaving Europe vulnerable to military blackmail and weakening the NATO's strategic attempt at the core of US-European ties.

The maphead has quite as many reasons to play with this naive idea as the free world has as many reasons to play with him.

In addition, the Soviets often favored dealings with right-wing governments, because they believed that right-wing politicians, as shrewd and practical negotiators, were more willing to reach a compromise in the bargain.

According to Mrs. Thatcher herself, the double-zero plan at the top of the map has posed a problem for the Western Allies. At this time, Mrs. Thatcher stepped forward, determined to hold three parties with both hands, and fight against the three countries of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Europe. Play your own unique role.

These are almost the words, can the prime minister come up with other advanced theories?

So since Mrs. Thatcher wanted to, Alan Wilson would definitely not object. He was even more concerned about his daughter's marriage. Didn't he say he had a boyfriend?Why don't you get married if you have a boyfriend?

But since there is, Alan Wilson should not urge it. It is better to turn your attention to the east and see the biggest threat to the free world in decades. The biggest change is in public opinion. The waves are monstrous.

On the occasion of democratization and openness, speeches and literary works that liquidate the history of the CPSU and smear the Soviet system continue to appear in the media.

Intellectuals in the Soviet Union were further intensified, and most sociologists and economists turned to Western-style liberal capitalism.

Alan Wilson's position can be regarded as a fleeting glance. The person who has an intuitive understanding of all this is the head of the Moscow Security Bureau, Alekseev, and he can clearly see that the changes come from the top, and the KGB can take any The anti-social elements from the bottom are pressed to death, but there is nothing to do with the rout at the highest level, at least this is not something that Alexeyev can do.

One month later, at the Xiangjiang Central Building, Alan Wilson looked down at the busy traffic below, and was amazed at the prosperity of Xiangjiang. Normally, even after 1 years, this standard remote mountainous area will not have the prosperity it is today. .

"Is there any city in the Soviet Union that can be compared with here?" Alan Wilson looked away, and greeted Alekseev with a half-smile, "I guess there is no city. I have been to the Soviet Union a few times."

The supreme authority just came to inspect the pearl of the British Empire, but unexpectedly, it was touched by the KGB. In fact, when he was overlooking the prosperity of Xiangjiang, Alan Wilson was thinking about whether he was a bit careless when he was approaching retirement. He has been such a careful person in the past few years, don't make it too late.

The rest of my mind is the feeling of seeing the Tsar's son appear. Fortunately, this building is also David's property, otherwise the KGB would have appeared, would the CIA be following him?

Alan Wilson, who had been turning back and forth in his heart, calmed down, thinking that he must have something to look for, otherwise?Is it easy for a Moscow Security Bureau chief to go abroad?It can be regarded as the top of the KGB. Could it be that the cultural tsar is not in good health?She is not young anymore.

Alexeyev shook his head and said in a rambling manner, "You once said that if you encounter a very difficult problem that cannot be solved, you will help me."

"Of course? Huh?" Allen Wilson was stunned for a moment, sized up Alexeyev, and said desperately, "You are already the director of the Moscow Security Bureau, and there are still things that you can't solve ? I really want to help you, but I'm afraid there is no way, but you can talk about it and see if I have any suggestions."

Although he had some guesses about the bright future in his heart, at the critical moment Allen Wilson remained calm, waiting for the son of the tsar to ask for help.

Sure enough, Alexeyev hesitated and asked, "I want to know whether many problems in the country are related to you."

"It depends on what the problem is." Allen Wilson looked relaxed. "All countries have their own problems. Will Britain suppress the strike if there is no problem? Will the United States force Germany and Japan to appreciate the United States if there is no problem? Of course the Soviet Union also exists. My own problem, the problem is whether this problem is so big that you, a high-ranking KGB officer, have to talk to me? By the way, have you been promoted to lieutenant general?"

"Not yet, but soon." Alexeyev replied absent-mindedly. He didn't know whether it was right for him to go abroad, but luckily he took a person out with him. This person's name was Irina. Verganskaya, whose father was the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, had this woman, and no one in the entire Soviet Union dared to investigate her.

Alan Wilson didn't know this. If the supreme authority wanted to know this, he could draw up a plan for Hao Da'er to turn the tide at this moment, and then kill him with a fatal blow at a critical moment.

After beating around the bush, Alexeyev asked directly, "Is this Yakovlev one of yours?"

"Being an official for so many years, why don't you know how to be more tactful? How did you get to where you are today? Didn't Katyusha teach you well?"

Alan Wilson turned his head sideways, "How did I answer you? Can you deal with him? Yakovlev is at the same level as your immediate boss, Chebrikov, and he is even more trusted. You What can I do?"

Alexeyev remained silent. This answer was the same as what his mother Furtseva said. Yakovlev is the most trusted person on the map. Yes, "You have the same opinion as my mother."

"Then I am very honored. How is Katyusha's health? It is not easy to meet in two places." Alan Wilson sighed with a heavy face, "It may be more convenient in the future. I hope we can all live in peace until then. "

"From a normal situation, you have no possibility of pulling him down, and your mother can't do it. Unless the situation in the Soviet Union falls into chaos and order does not exist, there is a chance for people like you to play a role. Now What about the situation? What can you do but stand aside and watch?"

"You have nothing to do, so when it comes to this question, it depends on what you think, what is your purpose? Can you answer my question now? If you can, I am thinking about whether I can give you some suggestions. "

The first thousand and 640 chapters and three paid help

Alexeyev remained silent. If he had a solution, he would not appear here. As Allen Wilson said, he could not do anything in the face of Yakovlev. A sense of powerlessness, and ironically, Yakovlev's strength is precisely brought about by the order of the Soviet Union.

"You see, you only know that there is a problem, but you don't even know how big and serious the problem is."

Alan Wilson spread his hands, his face full of embarrassment, "For quite a while, the reputation of the Soviet Union in the world, I don't say that as the KGB, you know that good deeds are not appreciated, and bad deeds can be remembered for a lifetime. Let alone the relationship with the enemy, you can’t handle the relationship with countries that should be allies. Of course, this issue is very complicated, and I don’t think you are all wrong.”

This is like the problem of the United Fleet and the Jinmen artillery battle. The Soviet Union emphasized that the latter embarrassed the Soviet Union, and a certain big country emphasized that the former was unfair to itself.Of course, it makes sense to bring into the impressions of the two countries.It's really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.

"However, as a British official, I understand the problem of strategic contraction. If this is not done well, the contraction will turn into a collapse. Now the British overseas territories are just over 200 million, but compared with the pre-war British Empire, this You can see how big the gap is. And let me tell you, the contraction of the UK has reached the critical point where quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If the current framework cannot be maintained, the next step is to collapse. We cannot keep any overseas territories, only Down to the British Isles."

"If this happens, it will be the advent of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. The voice of Washington is more authoritative than that of Whitehall. British military diplomacy and so on will not be more independent than Germany."

The strategic contraction of the Soviet Union is inevitable. No country can only expand without shrinking, and the same is true for the United States, but the United States will obviously not stand up to attention as honestly as the Soviet Union.

The strategic contraction of the United States can be said to be an enhanced version of the United Kingdom. The post-war strategic contraction of the United Kingdom is to bury nails for offshore balance. The United States is obviously more courageous and does not mind provoking war at all. Provoking a war can prevent the enemy from accepting the contraction of the United States. Site time.

Moreover, the size of the United States is much larger than that of the United Kingdom. After ten or eight years, if the enemy can't handle it, the adjusted United States can still kill a carbine.

As for the situation in the Soviet Union, instead of following the example of the United Kingdom, it is better to follow the example of the United States. After all, the national strength of the Soviet Union is closer to that of the United States than to the United Kingdom.

Now that the Soviet Union is facing the problems that the United Kingdom faced in the past, it is actually impossible to stand up to it. Although the life of the free world is not easy at this time, it is obvious that Japan and Germany can keep the United States going. Where can the Soviet Union find blood bags to supplement? Woolen cloth?

"Currently, I can see several problems in the Soviet Union. The three Baltic countries that have been annexed have been troubled all the time. Poland has always been unstable within the Warsaw Pact. You also know this. Lech Walesa's Solidarity union is a big trouble. Obviously Moscow doesn’t have much to offer. It’s not something you can solve.”

"Let's assume, what if one day the Soviet Union is facing disintegration due to deteriorating economic conditions? Don't forget that the republics of the Soviet Union can withdraw. Usually this is not a problem. Once the national order collapses, this is a very obvious loophole. Don't It is impossible to say that when Ireland became independent, we also felt that it was impossible to happen."

"If the Cold War against the Soviet Union was the losing side, and if the victor was Britain, then Britain might try to weaken the Soviet Union, but it would not make the Soviet Union impossible to stand up forever. But Alyosha, the current leader of the NATO camp is the United States Well, if the Soviet Union bows to the United States, don’t forget that decades ago, the United States clamored for Germany to surrender unconditionally just after entering the war. If you surrender to the United States, don’t even try to save your country.”

Alekseev's heart trembled. Since he started working, he has never had a day like today.

He also knows that the current situation in the Soviet Union is not good, and it may indeed be necessary to adopt an evasive attitude and ease with the free world, but will the Soviet Union collapse?He felt that it was not a problem to hold his ground.But what the old father said is also reasonable. Will the United States allow the Soviet Union to shrink successfully?

Of course not. As the secretary general of the cabinet, Alan Wilson seemed to be able to hear the voice of a big boy at this time, and he began to introduce that since the end of the World War in [-], Britain and the United States will immediately enter a state of fighting wits and courage. , around the interests of British India, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, British Africa and the Middle East, how was Britain driven out of Yin Lang in a secret contest.

On the issue of Israel, how many times have I withstood the lobbying in favor of Israel, and how in the end I had to leave in Africa, and concentrate the remaining white people in Rhodesia and so on.

"At that time, I also wanted to maintain the territory of the British Empire as much as possible, but in the end I could only preserve Rhodesia, Newfoundland, and Malaya."

Alan Wilson said helplessly, "Looking at Canada and the United States getting closer and closer, and to be honest, Canada's national strength has been getting smaller and smaller since the war, and its position in the world economy cannot be compared with that in [-]." But what can I see, I can't do anything, just like you now, seeing the problem, all I can do is watch it happen."

Canada was one of the top four in the world after the war. The United States, the Soviet Union, Canada, and France are still in the back row. The United Kingdom chose to show favor to Canada and wanted to give Newfoundland to Canada. This is Alan Wilson’s personal experience. No need to ask others.

It was also he himself who firmly opposed it, and Newfoundland was also unwilling to merge with Canada, which eventually saved the UK's foothold in North America.

Yes and no treatment are completely different. Even if there is only one British soldier on Newfoundland, Britain can say that it has interests in North America.

The reason for his opposition is that even the United Kingdom and Canada will not help the United States. It seems very good. The last two of the world's top four maintain traditional relations to maintain the unique status of the United Kingdom. Facing the Soviet Union, there are researches. But it just doesn't work against the United States.

Alexeyev was like a good student, listening to his father explain how Britain shrunk after the war, and how many dangerous lucks there were in it.Even if the contraction of the United Kingdom is considered very successful, it is not the same as the 3000 million square kilometers before the war. "India can be robbed by your Soviet Union. Is it so difficult to understand that the United States has incorporated it into its own system?"

"If the Soviet system shows signs of collapse, I hope for your help. Will you help me?" Alexeyev felt funny when he spoke, maybe there was nothing wrong with the Soviet Union.The fundamentals of the two countries are quite different.

"Your leader with a long map on his head, don't you want to change the ruble settlement in order to absorb foreign exchange? Now you use the US dollar, and a small part of the pound mark?"

Faced with the promise that Alexeyev hoped to fulfill, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "If the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries settled in sterling for all foreign trade, and encouraged countries with good relations with the Soviet Union to do the same, I will definitely Do what you can to help."

At present, the settlement share of the United Kingdom in the free world is 20.00%, while that of the United States is 40.00%. If you count historical records, the British pound once reached 80.00% of the international trade settlement share, and this proportion has never been approached.

Not to mention that the British pound has not been marginalized in this world. Even in the world in Alan Wilson's memory, Mark has been a challenger of the US dollar for a long time, and the share of the Japanese yen is also very large.

If the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union for decades was included in the pound system, the pound could overwhelm the dollar after the war and regain its status as a world currency.We must know that the Soviet bloc is almost another economic and trade system, and the currency of the free world is not used to a large extent. This settlement share is underestimated.

Alan Wilson's request is almost tantamount to telling Hao Daer that if he wants not to be wiped out by the United States, the Soviet Union can only bring guns to Britain and help the United Kingdom expand its voice in the financial field. There is no other way to let the United States The United Kingdom risked tearing its face apart from the United States to be a rebellious boy.

Alekseev felt that this condition was too much, and said very bluntly, "Britain is considered a powerful country in this world, but it is still a bit inferior compared to the Soviet Union. Even if it is the Royal Navy that can be valued by others, Not necessarily an opponent of the Soviet Red Navy."

"I pay high respect to the military construction of the Soviet Union over the past few decades." Alan Wilson yawned, "This is the only place where the Soviet Union can make a difference. Forget about other aspects."

It is indeed too much to ask the Soviet bloc, not just the Soviet Union, to use sterling for all foreign trade settlements. If Alan Wilson is from the Soviet Union, he also thinks it is too much.
