British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1006: because the United States would oppose

As a friend of McCarthy, it was reasonable for Alan Wilson to do so. Although McCarthy was a hated Irish descendant, McCarthy was still his friend at this stage.

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

Of course, he can't let Foreign Minister Macmillan be idle. Regarding the undecided immigration of 400,000 to 500,000 Indians in British Kenya, Macmillan must now pay his own attention.

Although this is a difficult problem, the minister himself must have the ability to solve difficult problems. Who made voters think so?

If Macmillan can't fix the problem, support could drop.

If Macmillan fixes the issue, Labor could slam Macmillan as xenophobic and a racist.

After the war, in an environment where the emergence of people like the head of state became the consensus of all countries, the pressure brought by racists is also a heavy burden. No matter how you choose, it seems that you have to pay a certain price.

This is a deliberate legacy of Alan Wilson's predecessor as foreign secretary, and it happens to be in Macmillan's hands.

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

Thanks to years of hard work, the native British working class were already buying cars and taking holidays abroad before the influx of immigrants from the Commonwealth countries came to the UK. Alan Wilson has been advertising the sunny beaches of Malaya.

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

"Alan, you are a big show in Moscow." Makins, who works for the Ministry of the Interior, admired him, implying that Alan Wilson had seized a good opportunity, and now the kitchen debate is being discussed in the UK and even the world.

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

However, the United Kingdom is not at a disadvantage. Alan Wilson did this for the sake of the United Kingdom. If the complete victory of the Cold War was the result of the United States monopolizing all interests, he hoped that the Cold War would last for two hundred years.

At least in the face of the great enemy, the United States will never harvest its allies every now and then. Of course, Japan is an exception.

Alan Wilson made a big splash, and Makins naturally came to strengthen his connections, "However, I also heard that some people think it makes sense for the Soviet Union 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 softly and pouted, "The part of the Soviet Union's proposal to open up trade is 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 no sneaky reverse engineering is allowed. The Soviet Union did not dare, so the blockade against the Soviet Union will continue. Importing some agricultural raw materials is fine, but don’t even think about other things.”

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

In addition, there is no fee to be paid to receive an inventor's certificate issued by the state. No one can sell the invention or sell the license to use it because it is already state property. The interests of the socialist state and the collective are higher than the interests of individuals. Copyright is collectively owned and is collective public property. People can often obtain 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, Maggins replied lazily, "The Soviets wanted to be beautiful, and they took all the benefits, but they still wanted to protect own market."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said helplessly, "But the free world is not united. For example, France and Italy may provide some technology in exchange for benefits, so we have to be careful about this issue."

There is nothing new under the sun, and the Soviet Union is definitely not the last one to use the market for technology transfer.

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

"Don't talk about those Soviets." Alan Wilson obviously didn't want to talk about issues that had long been settled, and asked about Maggins' recent work. The Ministry of the Interior is also a high-ranking department, and it handles quite a lot of things.

Makins is now serving the Ministry of the Interior, and he 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 decreased, and the pharmaceutical group has terminated production." Alan Wilson said without thinking, "Many drugs that were very common in the past disappeared from the market after being included in the national health care system, and replaced with similar effects, but no Medicines in the NHS. Right?"

"You should take my place and talk to those pharmaceutical groups." Maggins smiled wryly and shook his head. "Or instead of being a civil servant, it would be more appropriate for you to be a consultant to a pharmaceutical group."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is also very normal. Why do we produce without profit? We are not the Soviet Union. We have no obligation to do things without profit." Alan Wilson yawned, "Anyway, I'm sick for 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 Makins' words are not objective. Of course, Alan Wilson has to speak for the medical group.

The rule is that the dead are alive, and any system can be circumvented as long as there is a way. It's just that the UK's national health care system has not been implemented for a long time, and some flexible measures are still in the groping stage.

In a few decades, it will take months to wait in line for an appointment. Either heals up or dies. If he is still alive, he can only take painkillers.

It's a good thing 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 with you, it seems that I am still worthy of my conscience." Maggins shook his head and said to himself.

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

"You won't be worried anymore. Pamela's group is so big, why do you still care about a little pension?" Makins gasped. If a politician said this, he would almost never be able to turn around in his life.

"I am also an honorable citizen of the United Kingdom. Pension is the country's guarantee for my years of service to society." Alan Wilson said suddenly, "Oh, I don't have to ask for this money, but the main thing is to respect the country's recognition of the hard work of civil servants throughout their lives, otherwise Just disrespecting the Queen."

Alan Wilson, who has always respected the royal family, felt that he should ask his sister-in-law to comfort his heart that was devastated by the genuine dragoons. He must know how to combine work and rest, otherwise Britain may lose a pillar of talent in the future.

Foreign Secretary Macmillan is still worried about the positioning of the hundreds of thousands of Indians in British Kenya. This is a big thunder. If Kenya becomes independent and is brought into the UK, the Labor Party may seize the opportunity to attack it. If not? In fact, they will still be attacked~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the exclusive benefit of the ruling party.

At this moment, Alan Wilson walked into the minister's office with the documents, and saw that Macmillan was in a state of desperation, "Dear minister, it seems that he is worrying about state affairs."

"It's not a problem of Indians in Kenya." McMillan was a little helpless, looked at Alan Wilson and asked, "Alan, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Oh, it's about the schedule of holding the Antarctic Conference in Paris." Alan Wilson held the document and said, "It is expected to be held at the end of the year, and the participating countries include the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Discussion about Antarctica As for the issue of sovereignty, Australia is of course the most keen on Antarctica, after all, Australia is alone in the southern hemisphere and has great geographical convenience.”

"Antarctic meeting?" McMillan shook his head and said, "What kind of attitude are you going to use to deal with this meeting?"

"We will do our best to support Australia in the diplomatic field, but it will definitely be useless. Because both the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will oppose the division of sovereignty over Antarctica, so the final result is not surprising. It will be All claims to Antarctica will be frozen."

"It sounds as if Britain's ultimate efforts were thwarted by the U.S. stock market and the Soviet Union. Then why did we do this?" After listening to Macmillan, "Especially the U.S. is against it."

"It is precisely because the United States opposes that the United Kingdom has to support Australia." Alan Wilson explained calmly, "The Americans will do the evil, and we will be good people. There is no better diplomatic meeting than this kind of thing. It can also be used to prove that the UK has always defended the interests of the Commonwealth of Nations."

There is no need to hide anything. The reason why Britain supports Australia is because it is expected that the United States will oppose it.
