British civil servant

"The future development of the Soviet Red Navy will turn to the Pacific Ocean, focusing on the development of the Far East." Fultseva's words also indicate that Japan should not have any unreasonable thoughts about Hokkaido.

In fact, after taking down Japan's second largest island, the east is the easiest direction for the Soviet Red Navy to break through. It's just that the Soviet Union traditionally built its military power centered on Europe, but it has been different since then.

Regarding the fact that some British public figures had a dinner together, but were attacked by bombs and suffered heavy casualties, after five seconds of investigation by MI[-], it was determined that it was the work of the Irish Republican Army.

Of course, the Irish Republican Army cheered and claimed this British tragedy directly, but immediately the Irish Republican Army knew how stupid it was to rub salt on the wounds of the British. In the next month, the British suffered Hundreds of people were killed in the most violent terrorist attack since the war, including many well-known public figures.

A week after the start of the attack, British public opinion has criticized Ireland. The Royal Navy, which is conducting military exercises in the North Atlantic, also returned to its homeland, announcing that it would not rule out a blockade of Ireland. For a while, the import and export of the entire country of Ireland was interrupted. The government of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union even expressed solidarity with the United Kingdom, saying that Ireland's move was undoubtedly an act of war.

Of course, it is not enough to just criticize Ireland. The ambiguous public opinion about the United States attacking the United Kingdom in Ireland, which caused hundreds of deaths, has aroused great dissatisfaction in the United Kingdom. The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States has become a thing of the past. The policy makes sense, and the rhetoric abounds.

As for the Irish's denial of maliciously framing nearly a thousand deaths on their own heads, it is impossible for people to know. MI[-] has already found out that the Irish are lying.

"Whoever dares to speak for the United States at this time, the bullets of the Irish Republican Army should immediately find them." Alan Wilson told Ross, "The Atlantic faction should disappear. As long as it exists, maybe it will last ten or twenty years. It will be revived, and I can keep an eye on Mrs Thatcher, but it doesn’t mean that the future cabinet secretary-general can also see other prime ministers.”

"Secretary-General, Sir Philby and George Blake are here." Middleton called and informed the former MI[-] head that Philby, who had retired, had come to Whitehall.

Alan Wilson nodded to Rose, signaling to get busy with his own affairs first, and then said into the microphone, "Just let the two of them come to my office directly."

They didn't wait too long, and the two came. It may be because of the smooth sailing. Philby, who should have passed away, is now alive and well, and his health is quite good.Alan Wilson felt that it might be the reason why he could enjoy his old age peacefully because he was not found out.

As for the other diamond ambassador, he had just retired a few years ago, and it was time to show off his enthusiasm. Alan Wilson looked at the two with his fingers crossed, cleared his throat, and said, "We are committed to a peaceful and stable European situation. It’s impossible not to have a Soviet role. We’re going to pick well-educated, professionally qualified people.”

"One stationed in the Warsaw Pact, in fact, our negotiations with the Soviet Union, the position of the Secretary-General of the Warsaw Pact, has been decided and there will be a candidate from the United Kingdom. There is also the chairman of the Anglo-Soviet Friendship and Cultural Exchange Association, Whitehall is very concerned about this The two positions are very important, and the two seem to be very leisurely after retirement, do you have any intention of re-employment?"

"Secretary-General, I have already retired, you see." Philby wanted to refuse directly, as if he didn't want to continue fighting for the British Empire.

"Do you think that the two of you providing intelligence to the Soviet Union is a secret that no one knows?" Alan Wilson said with a sneer, looking at the surprised faces of the two people here, "If I hadn't wiped you two idiots for a long time. Ass, you should spend time in prison now."

Philby and George Blake were dumbfounded. Needle drops could be heard throughout the office. For a long time, George Blake glanced at Philby. He didn't know Philby's identity, but he could tell from the expression on the other party's representative. , Alan Wilson precisely poked Philby's lung tube, it seems that Philby is a spy is true.

"Secretary-General, I'm very confused now." George Blake thought for a while and smiled wryly, "Since you knew it a long time ago and now you revealed it, what is the purpose? Why didn't you arrest us when you knew it?"

"In order to balance the world." Allen Wilson said, "The world needs balance, and one cannot dominate. The Soviet Union has the ability to compete with the United States, but if the Warsaw Pact is compared with NATO, those in Eastern Europe can't even compare with Spain. The country is bound to fail. We have to serve the United Kingdom and make the most favorable choice. Now it seems that the result is still good, isn't it?"

The first thousand and 780 chapter two forced the palace

The result was good. No matter how Alan Wilson deduced the process, he was not sure about catching Philby at that time. He was afraid that there were more than five of the Cambridge Five. Now it is decisive to win a few spies thousands of miles away. See what Alan Wilson said?

Regardless of Philby or George Blake, at this moment, it is enough to know that the reason why the two of them are still standing here like dogs today is because the supreme authority has pity in their hearts.

"It seems that the two of you have agreed, that's fine, and you are still the gentleman that the British Empire needs." Alan Wilson was happy with the cooperation of the two spies, and after a few pleasantries, he watched the two leave, "Middleton, Come to the Cabinet Secretary's Office."

Alan Wilson is going to discuss with his successor about the successor, as well as the starting point for the successor to secure his position and open up the situation.

Of course, he himself does not need a successor to arrange pension work for him. On the contrary, he also needs to help Middleton adapt to the important task of leading Whitehall.

"We have already discussed with the Soviet Union about the status of the Soviet Union in the pound circulation system. As you know, I will retire soon. I can choose to finish the matter and retire to draw a successful ending for the benefit of society. Full stop, but that might not be all good for you."

Alan Wilson is very sincere. In fact, he has always been so sincere, and with this kind of sincerity, he entered the sight of Sir Edward and Sir Brook.

Obviously, after Middleton took office, this kind of merit needs to be based, so Alan Wilson chose to lay a good foundation for Middleton on the major issue of the pound settlement share.

"Secretary-General, thank you very much." Middleton could be said to be grateful, as if he was listening to the instruction.

"Offshore balance is the essence of the British Empire's foreign policy, but this policy needs a foundation. From the perspective of the interests of civil servants, we absolutely cannot accept returning to the mainland. This will only be slaughtered by politicians. This is not just my personal Recognition is also the recognition of my predecessors, and I hope this is your recognition."

Alan Wilson said calmly, "The major banks have decided to buy the bottom and buy it at one-fifth of the price. The debt caused by the Soviet Union's assistance to the allies for decades. This issue has been discussed, and we can not be as greedy as Wall Street , but you can use this to talk to Yemen, Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo, Mozambique and Angola, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, North Korea and even India, all kinds of countries, and bring them into the circulation of the pound zone.”

"If the Soviet Union is willing to cooperate, that is really a very good idea." Middleton took a breath, obviously also in the shock of the idea.

"After all, the Soviet Union expanded its influence to the whole world in the 70s, and there were [-] or [-] countries that had debt relationships with the Soviet Union. Even Eastern European countries themselves had debt relationships with the Soviet Union."

Alan Wilson said to Middleton, "So the expansion of the circulation of sterling can start from this aspect."

"Exchange debt recovery for liquidity?" Middleton nodded, probably understanding what Alan Wilson meant.

"That's true, in fact, Japan very much wants to do this, but we have been preventing it."

Alan Wilson is not lying. According to real history, after the 70s, the mark and the yen will probably become the second and third currencies, but they were firmly blocked by the United Kingdom at the Jamaica meeting.

Mark's backing is Germany's powerful industry in Europe. As for Japan, Japan has long been exchanging liquidity with yen local currency assistance.

Now that Britain is exchanging the transfer of Soviet debts, there is nothing wrong with increasing the circulation area of ​​​​sterling. This is what the Soviet Union is willing to do.

"Starting with India first, and regaining India's trade settlement will be a landmark achievement after you become the cabinet secretary." Alan Wilson expressed his optimism for Middleton.

If India can be captured again, it can be said to be a very shocking event for other Soviet allies. Moreover, India itself is not a country that can be manipulated at will.

Allen Wilson has never looked down on India. The size is here, and some verbal ridicules cannot be taken seriously.

Thinking about it carefully, there are still many issues facing Middleton. For example, the wave of South African whites fleeing is still going on. How to absorb the talents needed by the United Kingdom needs the personal attention of the next cabinet secretary. The secretary-general of the cabinet must also have his own merits and leave his own traces in Whitehall.

From this day on, Alan Wilson is more like a consultant than the head of Whitehall, advising Middleton. Of course, the upcoming general election is also the focus of Whitehall.

Is Mrs Thatcher starting the journey for a fourth re-election?still?Whether there must be or not, Middleton informed Alan Wilson on this day that a challenger appeared in the Conservative Party.

"What is the support rate of the Conservative Party now? Hasn't it increased a little recently?" Alan Wilson is also very concerned about the general election. It can be said that the popularity of this general election is very good.

"According to different polls, 30.00% five to 40.00% three. It cannot be said that there is no chance. But apparently the Conservative Party believes that the chance is not great. There are voices to ask Mrs. Thatcher to resign and someone else will lead the Conservative Party to deal with this crisis. general election."

Middleton explained that this approval rate is indeed very dangerous, but it is not as outrageous as the previous approval rate of more than 20.00%.

In fact, the Conservative Party had a tendency to split when Jeffrey Howe resigned last time, but Alan Wilson found Lawson, Heseltine and others to temporarily suppress it.Now it appears that as the general election approaches, opponents within the Conservative Party are once again preparing to change the party leader.

Mrs. Thatcher decided to visit France, which is in stark contrast to the previous special relationship between Britain and the United States. She may be re-elected several times. The Iron Lady believes that the opponents in the party are not enough to challenge herself, so the original plan remains unchanged. The journey continues.

When the two factions of Conservatives in the Palace of Westminster in London were preparing to run for the leadership of the Conservative Party, Mrs. Thatcher walked up the steps with a smile and a graceful smile. He shook hands with French President Mitterrand who was waiting in front of the Elysee Palace.

While Mrs. Thatcher was sitting in the Kleiber Conference Center, talking, eloquent and eloquent, in the No. 12 conference room of the House of Commons in Downing Street, London, the voting for the leader of the Conservative Party was about to begin.

The election process was presided over by the "1922 Committee".Before the ballot box sat Onslow, chairman of the committee, and the three chosen scrutineers.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Conservative MPs filed into the arena.Since Mrs. Thatcher was far away in Paris, she voted on behalf of her appointed representative.Voting ended at [-]:[-] p.m. that day, and all MPs left the venue.

The double doors of the conference room were sealed, and Onslow and three scrutineers began to count the votes.Half an hour later, the MPs filed into the conference room again, and Once Laurent announced the election results loudly: "Thatcher: 150 votes; Michael Heseltine: [-] and [-] votes. The second round of voting is scheduled for three days later. "

According to the regulations of the Conservative Party electoral system, Mrs. Thatcher must win the first round of runoffs with more than 15.00% of the Conservative Party seats voted by the second candidate.That is to say, when Heseltine got 150 and [-] votes, Mrs Thatcher should get no less than [-] votes. Now she is still [-] votes short of the standard.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. Mrs. Thatcher did not kill Heseltine cleanly, which brought about a wavering within the Conservative Party, because people really saw the mobilization ability of the opponents.

Especially when the general election is approaching, this kind of split is even more unacceptable. The forced palace just started without warning, and the cabinet resigned. Minister, announced his resignation.

Voices that Mrs. Thatcher's era is over are coming and going within the Conservative Party. It is believed that Mrs. Thatcher herself did not expect such a result. She came back, but things are becoming uncontrollable.

Three cabinet ministers resigned on the spot, and among the [-] cabinet ministers in the cabinet, twelve ministers persuaded Mrs Thatcher to withdraw from the election. When Alan Wilson came to No. [-] Downing Street this time, he saw the cabinet ministers file When he came out, he nodded at him, but his eyes seemed to have other meanings, as if he was watching a joke.

"What does this have to do with me." Alan Wilson didn't know why, but after a little thought, he knew that the political rumors of the mom-and-pop store must be at work again.

Entering No. [-] Downing Street, Mrs. Thatcher saw people coming, but she was not as inviolable as before, and said, "Did you see them?"

"I see." Alan Wilson knew that Mrs. Thatcher was referring to the cabinet ministers who had just left, and asked with concern, "How is the result?"

Mrs. Thatcher had to lament: "I was the one who was abandoned, and the ones who were abandoned were people I had always regarded as my friends... They seemed to be honest and worried about my fate, but they were actually ruthless betrayals."

"Actually, don't you know in your heart that with your ruling style, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later."

Alan Wilson opened his mouth and smiled wryly, "Your approval rating has always been a relative advantage, and you have been walking a tightrope between supporters and opponents. This path is also your own choice."

Politics, after all, is the cruelest profession!Even in the free world, there are inexplicable unspoken rules to protect, so that there will be no life and death problems in countries like the Soviet Union, but the cruelty still exists, "So stick to it?"

"I will resign." There was an unyielding look in Mrs. Thatcher's eyes, but it immediately dimmed, and finally said unwillingly, "But I will make the opponents pay the price."

"I can help you with this." Alan Wilson decided again, standing firmly behind Mrs. Thatcher. He decided to have a good talk with the Atlantic faction MPs who were still standing as MPs. Of course, everyone knew that Britain was It's a mom-and-pop shop, it's normal for him to find trouble with the Atlantic Pie for Mrs Thatcher.

A gorgeous turn in the finale

Coming out of No. 56 Downing Street, Alan Wilson already had a list of [-] members of the Atlantic faction, including four cabinet ministers. When he returned to Whitehall, he called Ross and asked him to invite the people on the list to come out for a while. trip.

"Sir, I may not have such ability." Rose's wry smile came from the microphone, this is not what he should do.

"Let's just say that I invited you. MI[-] has the files of these congressmen. You should leak a little bit."

Alan Wilson slowed down his voice, "In fact, the position is not important. Sooner or later, you will find that after you have been in a system for a long time, you can always find a way around it."

The reason is still hard to find. Alan Wilson can't use the reason of stepping his left foot first to force these MPs to announce their abandonment of the election, but he can let these MPs know through screening that they are embarrassing in the future of the United Kingdom. Screening In fact, it is very simple, only need to add four prerequisites.

As long as there are enough prerequisites, each person is actually unique. There is a saying in the category of history, no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies.

This sentence is standard, plus enough preconditions to screen out other dynasties that do not meet the standards. Obviously, the Han and Tang Dynasties are not qualified if they do not get along with each other. The Song Dynasty is not eligible if they do not pay compensation. To reward Al Da Khan, these four basic preconditions are sufficient, and the last two sentences are fine.

And the conditions are all put together, the one and only one is naturally ready to come out, this is like the standard set by a woman to find a boyfriend, randomly mention four so-called similar conditions, but people find that there are almost no men who meet this standard.

At this time, Alan Wilson will take on the role of a green tea, screen out these scumbags who betrayed Mrs. Thatcher, and pretend to be magnanimous to let them retreat.

To use a phrase familiar to Whitehall, these MPs must be rewarded for their loyalty and integrity.

It is impossible to spread political rumors in vain for so many years without paying any price.

Alan Wilson obviously couldn't receive so many people in his own home, so he finally chose the castle where his sister-in-law lived. The place was big enough and had a more political atmosphere.

Princess Margaret called her servants to prepare the venue for this meeting, and finally waited for the arrival of the Atlantic faction headed by the Privy Councilor and Speaker of the House of Commons, Neil MacFarlane and Peter Tapper.

"My supreme authority, I didn't expect you to have such strength." Princess Margaret praised with a bright smile, expressing her appreciation for the strength of summoning one-tenth of the seats in the House of Commons.

"I even have the strength to take the Queen's sister on a rocket." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and touched Her Royal Highness's cheek, and boasted, "There are dozens of MPs in the district, it is not a problem at all."

By the time these congressmen came in, Alan Wilson had already put on glasses. In order to make a difference, he was wearing a traditional British monocle, the kind that rests on the eye socket. Not much, but The Supreme Authority is returning to tradition.

This kind of traditional dress surprised many people. Alan Wilson is already 65 years old, and most of the congressmen who came here are younger than him, so it makes sense to wear traditional clothes.

"Dear Privy President, Speaker, and honorable Members, thank you for coming here."

Alan Wilson took the initiative to greet the guests to sit down, and then went straight to the topic, "A new era in Britain is about to begin. I don't know what your plans are after leaving politics. You can just tell me and see if I can help."

"The Secretary-General really likes to joke." Privy Dean Neil McFarlane asked instead, "The Secretary-General is 65 years old and seems to be retiring soon. Of course, this is also a fact that everyone knows."

"That's why I came to you and asked you to accompany me and the Prime Minister to leave the political world." Alan Wilson replied very sincerely, then turned around and muttered while flipping through the resources on the table, "Although you may not be able to accept it for a while, but It's better to understand earlier. It's like a police car is there. When a person smashes up, the applause from the side is real. When the police come to arrest you, they say that they caught you well. Both voices are true. , because most people are just fun people, do you think they really support you?"

"Political loyalty is important and important, and it is not important if it is not important, but this time, I personally do not appreciate the behavior of betraying the prime minister. Someone should pay the price for it."

When Alan Wilson spoke, his eyes swept over the faces of every congressman present, and he did not deny that the secretary general of the cabinet wanted to do something for the wronged Iron Lady.

As soon as the words were finished, a few councilors were hesitant to speak. It seemed that they wanted to criticize the relationship between men and women. It was a well-known political scandal, but in the end they mustered up their courage a few times, and finally they were discouraged.

Even if you really say it, what can it change?In fact, Alan Wilson was waiting for someone who couldn't help but talk about his relationship with Mrs. Thatcher, so what?

It's like the cancer is at an advanced stage, and I'm still struggling with the doctor whether hemorrhoids should be treated in half a month?You have to have this opportunity. Of course, the supreme authority has no prejudice against hemorrhoids, it is just a description.

Even if Mrs. Thatcher hadn't been stabbed in the back, Alan Wilson would have found a reason to let the Atlantic faction members go away, not to mention a ready-made reason. He wanted to seek justice for the Iron Lady and the Prime Minister. Isn't it better to return to a fair reason?

But obviously, it is impossible for the MPs who have made it to this point to give up their current honorary status. They still have to fight for their own future. Alan Wilson thought that it is still impossible to give the addresses of these people to the IRA .

Very reluctantly, the records of the experience of these congressmen after they entered politics, especially after they reached a certain position, were placed in front of the gentlemen one by one.

If you don't shed tears when you see the coffin, then you can't be polite. While the congressmen are looking at their own time capsule, Alan Wilson took this opportunity to say, "Gentlemen, why make things so ugly? ? The Atlantic faction should be a thing of the past. It turned out that it was still useful to keep you, but now the national policy has turned.”

"Don't talk about you, I used to be a sign of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. Now I am going to retire in line with the times. When I was young, I also thought about Lianzhuang, but if I want to retire, I will retire beautifully, so that people will respect you in the future. If you want to hang on, there is only one dead end."

With the above records, it is easy for Alan Wilson to destroy the political future of a congressman. After all, he has been making relevant preparations since 30 years ago.

At that time, it was just out of rigor, and he didn't expect that it would come in handy one day, but he accidentally used it today. He hoped that the Atlantic School would be able to recognize current affairs as heroes.

Speaker Peter Tapper was very hesitant. He didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of his children. Obviously, if the above things were exposed, his political career would soon end. Unwilling to ask, "For Mrs. Thatcher, the Secretary-General will Forced us out of politics."

"Isn't this reason enough?" England's No. [-] affectionate, Alan Wilson said with a sullen face, as if he couldn't let the Iron Lady suffer half a grievance, "Don't you always know the answer?"

After so many years of political rumors, everyone here should be happy that the Lord came out to claim it today. If Mrs. Thatcher hadn't been backstabbed before, maybe many people would be happy.

"Maybe because of my health, I may not be able to benefit the society in the future." Privy Councilor Neil McFarlane first compromised, saying that he was old and frail, and was 15 years younger than the supreme authority. Find a place where the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

"The Privy Councilor is very suitable, the warm beaches in the South Pacific, of course, the Caribbean is also available, there are still many choices."

Alan Wilson must have a good attitude towards a gentleman who knows current affairs. "Your son-in-law is a sociology researcher and is still very interested in politics. There are many job vacancies in Eastern Europe. I believe he won't mind, right?"

If there is the first one, there will be countless others. This is the truth that has been proven countless times. If the position is reversed, the two sides will no longer be in a hostile relationship. The members of Congress will scramble to express their obedience to the supreme authority, and they will definitely become the faithful of the Iron Lady. Fans, since the Iron Lady is not the prime minister, they will not do it.

"Will it be a little bit of reluctance? If there is any reluctance, you can say it." Alan Wilson said that he is definitely not gagging everyone now, but you have to put an apple on your head.

Obviously, everyone has no intention of being reluctant, and everyone is the iron lady's hardcore, so there is no problem. Alan Wilson has never been a person who kills everything. The son-in-law can go to Eastern Europe. Among them, look for a lucrative nominal position to support your life.

After the congressmen pretended to be open-minded, but actually left bleeding, Margaret reappeared and muttered, "I didn't expect you to have a hand with the Iron Lady. Since when did you start?"

"Heavenly conscience." Alan Wilson replied with a straight face, "This is really just a political rumor, I did not destroy the prime minister's family,"

A day later, Alan Wilson arrived at No. [-] Downing Street and personally told Mrs. Thatcher that it was done. The Iron Lady asked, "How did you do it?"

"It's nothing more than arranging some jobs, writing a few recommendation letters to Oxford and Cambridge, and leaving some places for scholarships." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Of course there are some other things, but I won't tell you. , I at least made these betrayers pay, Margaret."

Mrs. Thatcher was very moved and said, "Is there anything else I can do to help you? I'm still the Prime Minister. Just say it."

"If you don't mind, appoint Middleton as the Secretary-General of the Cabinet and Trey Pence as the Executive Undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance." Alan Wilson was not polite, and took out the list of civil servants in some departments, but there are not many in fact. It's just that the departments of the [-] cabinet ministers all include mom-and-pop shops, which is understandable.

"I think I can appoint first." Mrs. Thatcher was a little surprised. "I thought you would wait until after the election to retire."
