v2 Chapter 1006: because the United States will oppose

As McCarthy's friend, Alan Wilson makes sense to do so, although McCarthy is a pesky Irish descendant, but at this stage McCarthy is still his friend.

He also believed that Nixon, as a veteran politician, could get through this, otherwise he would be sorry for so many years of his official career.

Of course, he can't let Foreign Secretary Macmillan sit idle. The issue of the undecided immigration of 400,000 to 500,000 Indians in British Kenya must now be brought to Macmillan's own attention.

Although this is a difficult problem, ministers themselves must have the ability to solve problems. Who makes voters think so?

If Macmillan can't fix that, approval ratings could drop.

If Macmillan addresses the issue, Labour could slam Macmillan as xenophobic and a racist.

In an environment where people like those who opposed the head of state appeared and became the consensus of all countries after the war, the pressure brought by racists was equally a heavy burden. No matter what choice you choose, it seems that you have to pay a certain price.

It's a deliberate legacy of Alan Wilson's previous foreign secretary tenure, and it's now in the hands of MacMillan.

As for Macmillan's question, Alan Wilson's answer was that he had just become the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was not familiar with some jobs.

Thanks to years of hard work, before the influx of immigrants from the Commonwealth of Nations, the British working class was already buying cars and going abroad for holidays. Alan Wilson has been advertising the sunny beaches of Malaya.

Naturally, it is unlikely to attract a large number of British immigrants to settle. If the British want to immigrate, they still tend to the Five Eyes Alliance. However, in recent years, the main immigration location is Australia, especially Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

"Alan, you are in the limelight in Moscow." Markins, who works in the Home Office, said with admiration, suggesting that Alan Wilson seized a good opportunity, and now the UK and the world are discussing the kitchen debate.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Alan Wilson looked at his old friend and said to his heart that you didn't know that I just sold Indonesia to Moscow in exchange for such a chance to be in the limelight.

However, the United Kingdom is not at a disadvantage. Alan Wilson did this for the sake of the United Kingdom. If the great victory of the Cold War was the result of the US appropriating all interests, he hoped that the Cold War would be fought for two hundred years.

At least at the moment of the enemy, the United States will never harvest its allies every three or five years. Of course, Japan is an exception.

Alan Wilson was in the limelight, and Markins naturally came over to stabilize his personal connections. "But I also heard that some people felt justified by the Soviet Union's call to lift the blockade and open up more trade."

"What's the point? A country like the Soviet Union can't be trusted." Alan Wilson snorted and curled his lips. "The Soviet Union advocates opening part of the trade, but only a part that is beneficial to the Soviet Union. Does the Soviet Union dare to open up all of Eastern Europe and its own market? ? All intellectual property rights must be recognized jointly and severally, and no reverse engineering is allowed. The Soviet Union dare not, so the blockade of the Soviet Union will continue. It is okay to import some agricultural raw materials, but don't even think about others."

The Soviet Union is a country that openly does not recognize intellectual property rights. To recognize it, the constitution must be changed. According to Soviet law, all inventions belonged to the state and were protected by the inventor's certificate.

In addition, there is no fee to receive a state-issued inventor's certificate. No one can sell this invention or sell a license to use it because it is already state property. The socialist state and collective interests are higher than individual interests. Copyright is owned by the collective and is the collective public property. People can often get subsidized books or audio-visual products from the state.

"So free trade is not free trade as we understand it." After hearing Alan Wilson's explanation, Makins replied lazily, "The Soviets want to be beautiful and take all the benefits, but they still want to protect own market."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said helplessly, "The free world is not united. For example, France and Italy may provide some technology in exchange for benefits, so we should also look at this issue carefully."

There is nothing new under the sun, and the Soviet Union is definitely not the last in this market-for-technology transfer approach.

"It's really a tough opponent." Makins commented with a cold face, "I thought the United States and the Soviet Union had a good talk."

"Don't talk about those Soviets." Alan Wilson obviously didn't want to talk about long-term issues. He asked about Markins' recent work. The Ministry of the Interior is also a high-level department and has a lot of things to do.

Markins is now serving at the Ministry of the Interior, and must have countless troubles. "We cooperated with the medical department to incorporate some common drugs into the national health care system. Things have changed unexpectedly. Guess what?"

"Profits have fallen, and the pharmaceutical group has terminated production." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "Many drugs that used to be very common have disappeared from the market after they were included in the national health care system, and were replaced with similar effects, but no Medicines included in the NHS. Right?"

"You should take my place and talk to those pharmaceutical groups." Markins shook his head with a wry smile. "Or it would be more appropriate for you to be a consultant for a pharmaceutical group instead of a civil servant."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is also normal. Why do we produce without profit? We are not the Soviet Union. There is no obligation to do things without profit." Alan Wilson yawned, "Anyway, I am sick for the sake of my own safety. , how much money the patient will pay."

Pamela Mountbatten's industry has biopharmaceuticals, and it is developing in full swing in India, so Markins' words are not objective, and of course Alan Wilson has to speak for the medical group.

The rules are that dead people are alive, and any system can be bypassed as long as they find a way. It's just that the UK's national health care system has not been implemented for a long time, and some flexible solutions are still in the groping stage.

Let's see in a few decades. It will take a few months to queue up for an appointment. Either he is cured or he is dead. If he is still alive, he can only take painkillers.

Thankfully the Soviets didn't know the flexible side of the free world's national health care system, otherwise that would have been a real problem.

"My God, compared to you, I seem to be worthy of my conscience." Markins shook his head and muttered to himself.

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said incredulously, "When did you have such a luxury. In order to defeat an unprecedented opponent like the Soviet Union, we must deal with it in a more ruthless and bottomless way, Otherwise, we will have big trouble in the future. In my opinion, things like pensions should be abolished. The elderly have no value at all and cannot create wealth. Supporting them is a huge burden on the finances. It is a pity that no politician dares to do so. Dry."

"You won't worry anymore. Pamela's group is so big, and they still care about a little pension?" Markins breathed a sigh of relief. If a politician said this, there would be almost no place to turn around in his life.

"I am also an honorable citizen of the United Kingdom. The pension is the guarantee of the state for my many years of service to the society." Alan Wilson instantly changed his face and said, "Oh, I don't have to ask for this money, but it is mainly to respect the state's recognition of civil servants' hard work for a lifetime, otherwise Just disrespect the Queen."

Alan Wilson, who has always respected the royal family, felt that he should find his sister-in-law to comfort him. He must know how to combine work and rest, or the United Kingdom may lose a pillar of talent in the future.

Foreign Secretary Macmillan is still worrying about the positioning of the hundreds of thousands of Indians in British Kenya. This is a big mine. If Kenya becomes independent and is placed in the UK, the Labour Party may seize the opportunity to attack. If not let go? In fact, they will still be attacked, which is the exclusive benefit of the ruling party.

At this moment, Alan Wilson walked into the minister's office with the document, and just saw Macmillan in a daze, "Dear Minister, it seems that he is worrying about state affairs."

"It's not about the Indians in Kenya." Macmillan looked helpless, looked at Alan Wilson and asked, "Alan, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, it's about the schedule of the Antarctic conference in Paris." Alan Wilson said holding the document, "It is expected to be held by the end of the year~lightnovelpub.net~ The participating countries include the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Twelve A country. To discuss the issue of Antarctic sovereignty, of course, Australia is the most eager to Antarctica, after all, Australia is alone in the southern hemisphere, which has huge geographical convenience.”

"Antarctic meeting?" MacMillan shook his head and said, "What attitude are you going to take to deal with this meeting."

"We will try our best to support Australia in the diplomatic field, but it will definitely be useless. Because whether it is the United States of America or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, they will oppose the division of sovereignty over Antarctica, so the final result is no surprise, it will be All claims to Antarctica will be frozen."

"It sounds like the UK's ultimate efforts are being stifled by the US stock market and the Soviet Union. Then why are we doing this?" After MacMillan listened, "Especially the US is against it."

"It is because the US is against it that the UK is supporting Australia," Alan Wilson explained calmly. "The bad guys have the Americans to do, and we're good guys. There's no better diplomatic conference than this. It can also be used to prove that the United Kingdom has always defended the interests of the Commonwealth of Nations."

There is no need to hide anything, the reason the UK supports Australia is because the US is expected to oppose it.
