British civil servant

"My dear minister, the cold war has been won. Compared with the relief of security issues, the economy is the first." Alan Wilson drew a grand blueprint for the chancellor, and the small government has always been what the Conservative Party pursued what?Is small government just a specific place?

After persuasion, both of them agreed to submit this matter to the cabinet for discussion when Mrs. Thatcher returned from Paris. The end of the Cold War should be good for the British economy.

"The chancellor's intention is indeed beneficial to us." Back in his office, Alan Wilson couldn't wait to call home to tell the good news to the richest woman and the old Union flag behind the richest woman, "In fact, our Prime Minister Also think about the issue of political legacy, I have another idea to talk to her about."

When Mrs. Thatcher returned in a hurry, Alan Wilson came up with two prepared clauses, one was the tax reduction bill, and the other was subsidies to increase royal expenditure.

These two items were very important, and he wanted Mrs. Thatcher to agree to them. He had given the Prime Minister his unwavering support behind him for so many years, so there should be something in return.

"Perhaps for some people, the end of the Cold War is really a good thing." Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help sneering after hearing this. "Now they have begun to learn how to divide the benefits."

"Prime Minister, you can't say that. Industrialists who want tax cuts are also important supporters of the Conservative Party, aren't they? And the royal family is important to the stability of the British Empire. People recognize the Queen, not who you are as the Prime Minister. " Alan Wilson said sincerely, "Otherwise, you can talk to the Prime Minister of Australia to see if he recognizes you or the Queen?"

"You have the advantage now that you are the incumbent prime minister who won the Cold War, and you have the halo of a winner, and you can use this halo to avoid opposition from the Labor Party. I think this matter is not difficult for you."

Alan Wilson also began to ask for a price. Of course, the prime minister should not be allowed to do things for nothing. He suggested that the queen should give this outstanding female prime minister a hereditary title. You must know that the title of hereditary nobility has not been given since World War II. They are all nobles for life.

With this, Mrs. Thatcher can surpass the successive prime ministers after the 60s, and can be compared with Churchill, Attlee and Eden who have already made achievements during the World War.

"I have to seek the opinions of other ministers." Mrs. Thatcher knew who the supporters of the Conservative Party were, so she did not refuse.

"Of course, I believe the good news will come soon." Alan Wilson made a cheering gesture, expressing that he would wait for the good news to come.

Even if Mrs. Thatcher was not persuaded, he still had a way to finally get the Prime Minister to agree. After all, he still had Mark, who had always been treated as his own son, and was Mrs. Thatcher's only son.

Although Mrs. Thatcher strongly opposed the end of the Cold War, the chameleon attributes of politicians still did not bother her. It seemed that she was not the one who opposed before. After the victory, some views on the economic development of the United Kingdom.

At the subsequent cabinet meeting, Mrs. Thatcher listened to the opinions of the ministers and realized that the cabinet ministers had reached a consensus on the tax cut bill, and almost all agreed that the stringent tax policy of the United Kingdom should be loosened. Only then did Cheer realize that the tax cut bill has become such a general trend.

Then in the House of Commons, Mrs. Thatcher delivered a victorious speech in cadence. After firmly putting on the victor's hat, she announced two things that were already on the line. The first thing was to increase the allocation of royal family expenses, The other thing is to promote the tax cut bill. To change the tense British society, we must start with the tax cut bill.

Although the Labor Party had objections, Mrs Thatcher, who now has the hat of the winner of the Cold War on her head, easily resolved this objection, and the tax cut bill was passed.

"Now, we can finally get back on track." Alan Wilson watched the broadcast on TV, and, like the Conservative Party members of the House of Commons, applauded Mrs Thatcher on the TV screen.

At this moment, he, the cabinet secretary, is not the only one expressing excitement. There are countless entrepreneurs all over the UK, and the nobles are all fascinated by the Prime Minister's speech on the tax cut bill.

Everyone didn't feel much about the victory of the Cold War, but the emergence of the tax cut law made these old Union flags realize that the victory of the Cold War is indeed a great thing. The inheritance tax, rich man's tax, and Finally the end of vertical history.

The first thousand 720 chapters and nine chapters of the last governor of Hong Kong

The tax cuts bill would be the biggest victory for a segment of the UK since the end of the Cold War, including Pamela Mountbatten and her friends.

But this is just the beginning. Alan Wilson still has a lot to do, such as adjusting overseas policies.

After MacLehose, in principle, the governor of Hong Kong will be a diplomat, but Mrs. Thatcher broke many rules. Alan Wilson remembers that the last governor of Hong Kong was a politician.

It can be seen that the eating situation of the cabinet is really ugly. While it is still able to exert influence, the matter must be finalized, so that it is in the interests of the British Empire.

David Wilson, the current governor of Hong Kong, has now received the call of the glorious collective of Whitehall in London, including but not limited to, Scottish Hydro Power Co., Ltd., director of the Pacific Foundation, member of the British Council, University of London Asia and Africa Invitations from members of the Bhutan Research Association, chairman of the Bhutan Research Association, chairman of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, etc., presidents of the British and Australian Economic Associations, South Pacific cultural promotion ambassadors, etc., are not listed one by one.

Wei Yixin only needs to do one thing well, leave office early due to illness, and do a good job in electing the next Governor of Hong Kong, such as electing David Hartley as a candidate to succeed him.

For such an important matter as the victory of the Cold War, the Governor of Hong Kong, who is thousands of miles away, should of course return to London to exchange views with the Secretary-General of the Cabinet on the interests of the British Empire and the East. By the way, determine a candidate for the Governor of Hong Kong. The idea of ​​how to unite the front.

Wilson, who had already made up his mind, was naturally willing to show cooperation, and asked, "Is the President of the United States too eager? The Soviet Union is still there."

"But the Soviet bloc is gone." Alan Wilson replied, "Of course, the problem in Asia may not be so simple. But the Americans are the first to bear the brunt. The first island chain is not in our hands, although the Malay Asia is also facing the very important Pearl River Delta, but the distance is far away, and the Pearl River Delta is not as important as the Yangtze River Delta, and Shanghai will be the economic center of gravity in the future."

As a key person who is slightly involved in regional conflicts, Alan Wilson knows that this is a future that will definitely appear. It was not when the Pearl River Delta was said to be all about policies in the 80s, but it is all about personal efforts when it comes to itself. This is also very normal, and London also It is unavoidable to be connoted by other British cities.

Alan Wilson suddenly wondered if there was such a mutual connotation inside Xiangjiang. Wilson shook his head and expressed that he didn't know about it. The supreme authority said that you should give up your position so that more reliable people can stand up for the British Empire. It's the last shift.

"Our strategy in the East is based on economic exchanges, and this strategy will not change until the first island chain operated by the United States is breached."

Alan Wilson has set the tone for Britain's Eastern policy, "Now the situation is delicate, all places should be careful, once there is an anti-British wave of unknown origin, don't care where it comes from, first put it out first. This is not only what Xiangjiang should do Malaya, Rhodesia, Newfoundland and the South Pacific Territories should do the same."

The supreme authority does not trust the United States. Maybe Bush will restart the impact on the British overseas system when he feels that the Soviet Union is no longer a threat. Who can guarantee that it will not happen?

Although Newfoundland is relatively dangerous geographically, there are no major problems in other aspects. It has a small population and a high standard of living. Australia now has 2000 million people, while Newfoundland has just over 50.

Life is pretty good with newly discovered oil and old fishing grounds, especially better than old rival Iceland.

Rhodesia is in the interior of Africa, surrounded by black countries, and the issue of survival must be placed in front of any issue, especially now that the political situation in South Africa is turbulent, and it is not easy for the United States to start.

The location is the most important, the most populous, and the place that can strengthen the British power the most is Malaya, guarding the Strait of Malacca, and the main ethnic group is not white immigrants, so it is easier to start than other places.Therefore, we must be on guard against the Americans. Wei Yixin will soon fall ill, so the candidate for the Governor of Hong Kong is ready to be announced.

Strictly speaking, Wei Yixin still has less than two years in office. Once someone has served the rest of his term, it is almost certain that he will become the last Hong Kong governor of the British Hong Kong. After the news spread, all forces began to gear up Well, Alan Wilson will never back down on this matter. No matter which magnate of the Conservative Party thinks about it, the last Governor of Hong Kong must have a reliable person in charge.

Under Wilson's strong suggestion, Whitehall finally chose the candidate recommended by Wilson and strongly supported David Hartley to take over the position of Wilson. The reasons were naturally easy to find, such as understanding the local area, Trusted by the Xiangjiang administrative system, and so on...

"Secretary-General, will you compete with the cabinet for the candidate for Governor of Hong Kong?" Middleton still had some doubts. This time, Whitehall took the initiative.

"It's not about the two-year term. It's about deciding on the last term in advance. Many things can't just be seen on the surface. Nothing is simple."

Alan Wilson said, "This is to fight for the interests of Whitehall. I will retire in just over a year at most. It is more suitable for me to come, so that your work will be easier in the future."

Among many famous incidents, the one hidden behind is actually of decisive significance, such as the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's reputation is far greater than that of Shi Siming.But in fact, An Lushan was quickly killed by his son, and he led the rebel army for just over a year.During most of the Anshi Rebellion, the backbone of the rebel army was Shi Siming.

During the Battle of Yecheng, Shi Siming defeated the Tang Army's Nine Generals, many of whom were famous generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, which made the Anshi Rebellion last for such a long time.

Alan Wilson is still very optimistic about Middleton. It may not be a lot of trust, but he is willing to create a good environment for the next cabinet secretary. passed down from generation to generation.

Whitehall believes that the last governor of Hong Kong should be appointed by one of his own people. Why is that not the case in the cabinet? Mrs. Thatcher preferred the environment minister, Chris Bertten. Chris Bertten was responsible for implementing the poll tax before, which aroused widespread criticism. Alan Wilson represented Whitehall against the policy when he was still being interviewed.

If Alan Wilson does not object to such an ancient tax as the poll tax, it would be an insult to the intelligence of British citizens.

The poll tax has been rolled out in England since April. Adults above the UK include foreign citizens living in the UK, except secondary school students, long-term hospitalized or caregivers, mentally ill, staff working in charitable and non-profit organizations, representatives of international organizations People other than their family members and prisoners serving sentences are required to pay poll tax.

Partial relief is granted to those who cannot afford the full tax due to certain reasons such as low income, pensioners, disabled persons, etc.

Chris Perten was the minister Mrs Thatcher used to figure out the poll tax. Alan Wilson opposed the poll tax before, and now he opposes Chris Perten as the last governor of Hong Kong.

"Give me a reason." Mrs. Thatcher asked Alan Wilson, "You opposed my policy before, and now you oppose my candidate. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Prime Minister." Alan Wilson sat down directly facing each other, staring into Mrs. Thatcher's eyes, "Don't spread the power of the political party to other regions, that is not a place for you to intervene. There are better candidates on my side, more Younger and more powerful, instead of letting a minister who is now being criticized go to Xiangjiang, what is he going to do, and restore the poll tax in Xiangjiang?"

"I think I'll take back the tax cut bill," Mrs Thatcher threatened. "Maybe this will show the secretary-general of the cabinet who is leading the UK."

"I did it for his own good. You must know that the traffic accident rate in Xiangjiang is very high, which is even higher than that in the UK. It's so boring if you can't finish your term." Alan Wilson muttered unmoved, "Actually, some things don't Considering the present, power lasts forever. Whoever maintains his influence for a long time will gain more advantage."

Alan Wilson thought of an example. In the eyes of the public, Hua Tsai is actually an actor with little talent in acting, but as of the end of the Infernal Affairs series, his movie box office in Hong Kong far exceeds the [-]% of any two Mondays. As for the other one who is rumored to have good acting skills Tony Leung, even Hua Tsai's ashes can't eat.

"What? Did you get bold before retiring?" Mrs. Thatcher put away her smile. She could feel that the man in front of her was serious and would not compromise.

Alan Wilson nodded. He could not allow the candidate for the last Governor of Hong Kong to fall by the wayside. He had many reasons for objecting. For example, Chris Bertten is a Catholic, but one reason is enough. It has been agreed that a diplomat should be the Governor of Hong Kong. , then nothing can be changed, not even Mrs Thatcher.

This attitude was so tough that it was almost rigid. Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help laughing. Why?Alan Wilson told the truth, showing his sincerity, "Maybe the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, and I can pull you down together."

Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin had to end his term of office early and return to China for recuperation due to his health. The new Hong Kong Governor was discussed by the cabinet and David Hartley took over. The appointment was issued immediately.

"We all know that Downing Street and Whitehall have a certain degree of marriage," some ministers secretly complained after the cabinet meeting.

The first thousand and 730 chapters of the European and American trade war

Regardless of how Alan Wilson won this battle for the Governor of Hong Kong, anyway, he won on behalf of Whitehall. From now to seven years later, during this period, this No. [-] figure in Hong Kong in various senses will be It is an unchangeable fact that it will be placed under the influence of Whitehall.

As for the complaints and weird words of some ministers, Alan Wilson doesn't care. There are two executors of the Eastern policy. With a reliable person here, I believe that there will be no deformation in policy implementation.

As long as the quality of the population is not too bad, it will be considered as market potential if it grows in size. This is not a new saying. It was considered so in the UK during the empire on which the sun never sets.

As the largest population and the only country with a population of more than one billion in the world today, it should be taken seriously. Of course, Alan Wilson will find a time to have a good talk with his two sons.

"I just have some questions. What if we don't have common interests with them?" David didn't want to spoil the fun at this time, but it would be a pity not to ask on this occasion.

"If this kind of problem really occurs, we must do a good job of pulling and stepping." Alan Wilson said in a low voice, "Reduce your own sense of existence, and at the same time increase the presence of the first island chain. Since the death of Chang Gong and his son, The U.S.’s control over the first island chain is actually increasing. With them behind us, it’s enough for us to have a quieter time here.”

Swindle Island is an important part of the first island chain in the United States. If Washington is willing to let go of the suppression, let him say nothing, but how is this possible?Of course, it is to use the wealth and life of the deception island in exchange for the ultimate sublimation of the US emperor.

Charlotte shook her head in embarrassment and said, "Isn't there a peaceful solution to the problem? Surely there will be a fight at the end?"

"It's not you who died. Don't think about it in terms of national sentiment. Humans are essentially a consumable product."

Alan Wilson comforted Charlotte, "If you want to solve it quickly, you must be merciless when you do it. Do you know why the Soviet Union lost? The Soviet Union did not prove the Soviet army from the beginning to the end, and dared to open war with the US military And it won. What's the point of building a military force that has been building for decades?"

"In the future, the Soviet army will have no chance to prove it." David interjected, "The current situation in the Soviet Union is clear to all countries. Even in Xiangjiang, there is still a lot of discussion."

"You are wrong." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, "It is precisely at this time that we will avoid provoking the Soviet Union. To be honest, even if a nuclear bomb falls on a NATO country now, NATO will not fight back. Since the end of the Paris Conference where President Bush announced the end of the Cold War and raised the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons, there has been no such possibility."

Thinking about it carefully, Alan Wilson is not incomprehensible. Now that the Soviet Union is in such a mess, a country that is in such a mess still has a country with [-] to [-] nuclear bombs.

Of course, President Bush has to lower his tone and stay away from it. Otherwise, the contradictions in the Soviet Union will intensify, and there will be a melee of the Soviet army that has been built for decades. What if the United States is pulled behind?

To push others by oneself, if the United States was in the situation of the Soviet Union, the United States would at least plan to die together. There is no reason why the Soviet Union did not have such an idea.

Therefore, now is the most restrained moment since NATO was established. Not only will it not further oppress the Soviet Union, but it also hopes to accept it as soon as it is good, so that the Soviet Union can survive smoothly. Commander, will a nuclear bomb be launched, such as nuclear shells and nuclear torpedoes, but the Soviet Union has many.

It would be a big loss for those who are living well to be dragged back by a country that is already terminally ill. Therefore, even the day before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Bush Sr. and Mrs. Thatcher were still maintaining the map.The disintegration is really a surprise, and it can be called a manifestation of God.

"So back to the East Asian strategy, we have no conflicts with them, but they have many conflicts with the Americans." Alan Wilson said with longing, "We will help whoever wins at that time, depending on what It’s time for that to happen.”

After the Xiangjiang issue has been arranged, there is another issue that can be secretly prepared, but cannot be promoted with great fanfare, and that is the trade system.

There is no such thing as globalization called the World Trade Organization in the world today. The predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, still exists. There are a total of 23 founding countries, which are roughly similar to the members of NATO.

Although there are no longer 23 member states of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, it is not necessarily true that this organization is very effective. Now some regional organizations, such as the European Community, can completely replace this organization in terms of function. Ai Len Wilson remembers that the World Trade Organization was only established in [-].

At that time, the Soviet Union had disintegrated for more than three years, and the United States had digested most of the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. It used the heads of fellow Iraqis to regain its prestige in the military.

But it is different now. Alan Wilson is thinking about the cards in his hand, let alone the European Community. As one of the two giants of the European Community, the United Kingdom is the leading country of the European Community.In fact, some European countries have already proposed the establishment of the World Trade Organization, and of course he also wants to establish it. For example, let the Soviet Union bring the countries of the Economic and Trade Organization to surrender to Britain with guns.

In this way, the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union plus the European Community can establish a world-level trade organization. Of course, the role of a certain big country cannot be forgotten. The only country with a population of more than one billion to be included.

The rest is India. The economy of the Soviet Union can no longer play a big role in India. If you want to bring the former colonies to get rich, you still have to return to Great Britain. It is time to restore the traditional friendly relationship.

All of a sudden, Alan Wilson became fanciful. It can be called a modern version of the dream. If the top three populous countries, Soviet Union, China and India, can handle it, without the US market, wouldn’t the world still be in the hands of the UK?Sometimes when I think about it, the United States is actually not that important.

Thinking this way is not entirely daydreaming, because the European Community is indeed preparing for a trade war with the United States now because of the issue of agricultural subsidies.

After the establishment of the European Community, agricultural policies such as the unification of agricultural product prices within the Community, the establishment of common agricultural product import tariffs, the cancellation of tariffs between member states, the establishment of a common agricultural fund, the active adjustment of agricultural product markets, export subsidies and technological innovation have been improved. The stability of agricultural production in Western European countries.

The enthusiasm of agricultural producers and the output of agricultural products have been greatly improved, and Western European countries have gradually transformed from agricultural net importers to net exporters.

Although the price of agricultural products has obvious seasonal and non-seasonal fluctuations, the European Community has ensured agricultural production within the Community by purchasing and storing at low prices, selling at high prices, providing considerable subsidies at low prices, and implementing common adjustment policies such as high tariffs. The continued stability of the European Community has also led to an increasing demand for the export of agricultural products from the European Community.

The U.S. is the most agricultural country in the world. Of course, the U.S. is not willing to do this in the European Community. Moreover, because of the outbreak of mad cow disease in the U.S., the U.K. first banned the import of U.S. beef, which led to this trade war. The range becomes larger.

This time the trade war was started by the European Community. The European Community took the lead in promulgating a ban on purchasing goods, and then the United States imposed trade sanctions. It seems that the two sides are not giving in to each other, but I don’t know if it will be like before. Finally, a round of tariffs will be added to each other.

Alan Wilson believes that in fact, Western Europe can solve this problem in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union has a vast black land, but it has to operate a large and comprehensive system and confront the free world in an all-round way. As a result, it can only give up some industries. Inputs, agriculture and light industry are among those forgone.

Why bother? The Soviet Union is not a big country with a population of one billion. Although it is also one of the top three most populous countries in the world, it cannot be compared with the first two. The large and comprehensive industrial system will only stretch the country's manpower.

In fact, this is also the idea of ​​some Russians in the Soviet Union at present. The new national system will optimize the country's economy and Russia will not need to subsidize other republics. It's just that the Russians who have this idea now , Never would have thought that Russia would lose even Ukraine and Belarus, throwing off the burden and becoming a hemorrhage.

As long as the Soviet Union is willing to surrender to Britain and give the benefits of using sterling for trade settlement, Alan Wilson dares to accept the surrender of the Soviet Union and take advantage of the trend to establish a World Trade Organization with the United Kingdom at its core.

He has always had courage, but it still depends on the outcome of the struggle within the Soviet Union.

Thousands of words and one sentence, it depends on whether the target of his own raise can win the final victory. If he loses against the Khitan, everything is useless.

As for the once-in-a-thousand-year talent at the top of the map, in the eyes of Allen Wilson, he is already a political zombie. It is nothing more than when he will fall.

Alan Wilson seemed to have never been so refreshed. He cheerfully bid farewell to the new Hong Kong Governor and the famous patriotic overseas Chinese on the plane, and returned to Whitehall vigorously, continuing his days of waiting for retirement. Looking at Mrs. Thatcher, It is not contradictory to quarrel over the integration of European currencies, and to support Europe's ban on American beef. Convergence and struggle are the mainstream of state relations.

On this day, the ninth Queen Victoria-class aircraft carrier announced its commissioning, and the Minister of Defense came to congratulate it in person. At the same time, the High Commissioner in Johannesburg sent a message that Mandela's matter was not impossible to discuss.

The first thousand and 730 chapters of Gandhi's treatment

"The Cold War is over, and there is no need to think about South Africa. Now that the Soviet Union is no longer available, the ban on the South African Communist Party should also be lifted."

Alan Wilson returned to Whitehall, and immediately asked Middleton to come to his office, talking about what attitude should be adopted from the British point of view, "Mandela's release is a landmark event, the white regime has already The countdown is on."

"Uh, yes." Middleton thought to himself, why is the cabinet secretary so happy?Totally on the side of the blacks, "Are we going to bring about the downfall of the de Klerk regime, what good is that?"

"The good thing is to get these nasty Boers out of South Africa, they are in South Africa, and they are not helping South Africa's resources for the benefit of the world."

Allen Wilson snorted coldly, "It's time for the Boers to feel the ruin of their country and their families. They shouldn't be alive. Now it's just that justice has finally arrived."

There are less than 500 million white people in South Africa. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled, at least half of them are the backbone. Among them are Boers and a small number of descendants of British immigrants.

Now you should think about how to give full play to the value of South African whites. If you don’t want to leave Africa, there is still Rhodesia royal territory for them to survive, but the number should not be too large, otherwise Grace may wonder whether London is reducing the domain However, Rhodesia's population problem is more suitable for boiling frogs in warm water.

As for another escape location, it is of course Australia, which is still firmly maintaining the White Australia policy. According to the history in Alan Wilson’s memory, Australia is extremely welcoming to South African whites, and the policy of emigrating to Australia supports South African white immigrants. As for the rest The old, weak, sick and disabled who can't run can only fend for themselves.

Although the South African white regime is qualified as a dog, it is still unqualified in the eyes of Alan Wilson. The South Africa he hopes to see is a completely deindustrialized South Africa. Africa should be in a primitive atmosphere, even a modern country. Should not exist.

When it comes to the African issue, Alan Wilson also knows that Nyerere is currently facing some internal disputes, "Nyerere in East Africa is not in a good situation at the moment, and we have to do our best. Many countries accepted bad news during the Cold War. The aid from the few hostile camps has now become state-owned resources. Now that the Soviet Union itself can’t do it, we should help these countries that have gone the wrong way and get back on track. Carry out privatization and reform the national economy at the same time. As many countries, the United Kingdom used to The suzerain country, duty bound."

There is simply no delay for a day. These supported factories and machinery should be shut down, and those that should be dismantled.

Alan Wilson pointed to Middleton, "Abolishing the few industries in these backward countries, you will follow up personally, and we will reduce competitors without bloodshed. Although it is not as soul-stirring as a war victory, it is just as significant. This Things can be used as proof of your appointment as cabinet secretary, and the ability of the head of Whitehall is also important."
