, the fastest update of the latest chapter of British Civil Service!

Alan Wilson is also well prepared, and raised several issues that are of great concern to the citizens of Newfoundland. The current world, not counting the civil war of a major country, and the two wars between India and Pakistan, Israel and the Arabs, of course, also Something else happened.

That is, the election results in Italy have come out. After a series of mergers, the Catholic Democratic Party has suppressed the Italian Communist Party and has become the ruling party in Italy. It has now joined the Marshall Plan.

"Members, no matter what the state of Newfoundland in the future will be, as the current Chief Executive of Newfoundland, I have a duty to remind you that Europe, as the world center of modern society, will never fall into poverty for a long time. , although it was devastated by the war, the destruction also brought demand.” Alan Wilson tapped the table lightly, “In the next three to five years, there will be a lot of reconstruction work in Europe, and Newfoundland should seize the This opportunity. Blood is thicker than water, and the homeland will help you open up the European market.”

"Of course, Mr. Allen, your plan for Newfoundland's work is in the eyes of every citizen." Some committee members said one after another, saying that Newfoundland will not miss the opportunity to rebuild Europe.

"In this case, it is reassuring. There are the factors of corporate tax, the import of European raw materials, and the rich fishing grounds of Newfoundland itself. These three factors will form the economic foundation of Newfoundland's future. It is a great honor.”

Alan Wilson paused when he said this, "I hope the majority of the commissioners, don't bash Mr. Joy, anyone has the right to speak, and while the merger of Canada's speech may be controversial again, let's not use it as a betrayal. , the vocabulary of conspiracy to accuse.”

"The future of Newfoundland is still in the hands of the citizens themselves." Alan Wilson lied with a red face. Although he did not despise this kind of referendum, he still gave it superficial respect." I need some delegates to follow me to London and ask for a referendum to decide the future of Newfoundland. Restoring the Dominion, or becoming a Crown Domain, and annexing Canada are all options for a referendum."

Alan Wilson has always been in the habit of talking. Although there are forty-seven people in Parliament, his own words account for one-third. Especially when the voices against the merger of Canada and the opposition to the merger of Canada are aimed at each other, he will. Started a long talk, but in the end, no one was right.

The decision to apply for a referendum in London was the result of this meeting between Alan Wilson and these Newfoundland representatives, after which the broadcast was over and the rest was left to the citizens to discuss.

After the meeting, Alan Wilson called Savievich and said, "I took some members to London to discuss the referendum. During this time, what Newfoundland needs most is stability, you and some Chinese labor leaders. Let’s discuss it carefully, it’s best not to go out of the logging area, it shouldn’t be a problem, everyone is a reasonable person.”

"I have met Su and Tian, ​​and both of them are good communication people. Mr. Allen's request should not be a problem. I personally have a problem." Savievich said.

"If you have any questions, just say it directly." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "Everyone is not an outsider, I sent you to Africa."

"If London doesn't want to make Newfoundland independent, just say it, why allow a referendum?" Savievich shook his head. "What's the point of doing that."

"There are many meanings, and it is difficult to explain to you. But I also happen to hate the tradition of referendums in British politics." Alan Wilson smiled helplessly, "In other countries, this problem is really easy to solve. ...even the U.S. may not exist."

Switching to other countries is basically the end of repression, and the farther east the country goes, the less likely it is to let go. It just so happens that the UK is lacking in this regard.

"Boris, you also have your job." Alan Wilson looked at Boris, who was quite motivated recently, and said, "The referendum in Newfoundland will definitely cause widespread debate, whether it is joining Canada, maintaining the Dominion, or saying It is the very few who want to join the United States, and many citizens will join the discussion. You pay attention to this aspect!"

Seeing Boris nodding, Alan Wilson looked at the time, "Tomorrow we will go to the military base in the north, where we will fly to London, and the job of keeping Newfoundland stable will be left to you."

On October 4th, Alan Wilson had arrived in London, and he took the Newfoundland delegation who came to London for the second time. He walked out of the airport to take a deep breath of smog, um! Still a familiar taste in London.

The last time the Newfoundland delegation came to London was quite snubbed, this time is different. With Alan Wilson, who is well-connected in Whitehall, the previous unpleasantness will never be repeated.

Alan Wilson carried four plans for Newfoundland after the referendum, including maintaining colonial status, incorporating Canada, restoring the Dominion and converting it to a royal domain. There is actually a fifth, but this needs to be discussed with the head of the cabinet.

First of all, Alan Wilson approached Michael Edison, Permanent Secretary of the Colonial Department, to explain his intention, "Michael, this time I brought the Newfoundland representative to London again to discuss the referendum."

"The minister's suggestion is that you decide everything except joining the United States." Michael Edison repeated his previous attitude.

"Then I really decide for myself, will London accept it after the decision?" Seeing the change in Michael Edison's eyes, Alan Wilson also discovered his slip of the tongue and explained, "Don't worry, I didn't let me The idea of ​​Newfoundland merging into the United States, I mean programmatic trade-offs."

"Alan, don't make this kind of joke." Michael Edison seemed to be taken aback. "Then tell me about the current Newfoundland plan. I will give the plan to the minister."

"Direct independence, merging Canada, and the latter two are the restoration of the dominion and the conversion to the royal domain." Alan Wilson said while introducing the pros and cons of each plan, and time passed little by little.

Of course, I did not forget to tell Michael Edison that Newfoundland does have very few voices who want to join the United States as a state, but I have refuted this statement.

"How did you refute it?" Michael Edison asked curiously, "Americans don't like Newfoundland."

"No, it is well known that the United States is about to have an election. You must know that there are currently fifty states in the United States that adopt the Electoral College system. This election model has been finalized, and the addition of Newfoundland will disrupt the balance." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Michael, you need to know that countries with electoral systems all have this common shortcoming, and nothing is more important than elections."

"I agree very much. Because of the Italian Communist Party, China has also paid great attention to the Italian election some time ago. Sometimes watching the election abroad can also be used as a pastime after dinner." Michael Edison smiled and said, "Okay, I Four options will be handed over to the minister."

"Thank you very much!" Alan Wilson got up and said happily after finishing the matter, "It's all up to you."

Alan Wilson was also going to meet two civil servant leaders to discuss matters in Newfoundland. Michael Edison stopped Alan Wilson and said softly, "The relationship between Sir Edward and Sir Norman is quite delicate now, you should pay attention. "

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Alan Wilson froze for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

Norman Brooke and Edward Bridges are actually different. Norman Brooke maintains close personal relationships with ministers of all major parties, while Edward Bridges tends to keep his distance from politicians.

The difference does not stop there. The reason for Norman Brooke to maintain friendly relations with politicians is to establish the authority of the Cabinet Office. In other words, Norman Brooke values ​​power more.

The civil service under the leadership of Norman Brooke will enter the most powerful period since the appearance of the Cabinet Office. For this reason, Norman Brooke has already fought tit-for-tat with the Foreign Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

With Edward Bridges, who has always maintained a sense of neutrality and distance, it seems that the relationship is not as close as it was at the beginning.

However, as an expatriate civil servant, Alan Wilson, after considering it, felt that it would not involve his own line-up. This is the advantage of not being in the country, and there is always some degree of freedom.

So keep the original plan, and both leaders will meet. It can't be neglected because Edward Bridges is not as powerful now as before, and there is nothing to hide.

After debriefing with Edward Bridges ~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson went to Norman Brooke, the cabinet secretary working to expand the power of the civil service.

When he arrived at the cabinet secretary's office, Alan Wilson explained his intentions. On the surface, it was no different from before, but as his position stabilized, Norman Brooke, of course, also changed a little, "Alan, from our interests Consider, which option do you think is the most suitable."

"The royal domain plan, the dominion plan can't intervene in the mainland, merge the mainland? Citizens of Newfoundland may not be willing, the merger of Canada is the same, in fact, only two plans are feasible, one is to restore the dominion, and the other is the royal domain." Allen Wilson said 1510, "I personally think that the royal territory plan is more operational."

"His Majesty's territory? Sounds good." Norman Brooke thought for a moment. "The ministers understand politics, but they are not adept at economic issues. The decisions they make are often made in luxurious residences. , to attend a political rally organized by the hostess, done under the circumstances."

Alan Wilson opened his mouth wide and looked at the cabinet secretary in shock. The former cabinet secretary would never say such words, and it would be too demeaning to the role of the minister.
