British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1213: develop semiconductor

The Cabinet Secretary is accountable to the Prime Minister as well as to the Cabinet as a whole, so there has always been ambiguity in his duties.

The title of the position of Cabinet Secretary has never been changed, and successive Cabinet Secretaries have been well aware of their responsibility to the Cabinet as a whole, but at times, this responsibility has inevitably led to periodic tensions between the Cabinet Secretary and the then Prime Minister. This is especially the case when the prime minister sees himself as head of government rather than chief among his peers.

The question now is whether the post of cabinet secretary and secretary of state should be performed by the same person. The advantage of having the two positions held by the same person is that the chief executive can maintain daily contact with the chief executive and the prime minister. The disadvantage is that it is difficult for one person to fulfill the duties of cabinet secretary and chief minister while completing management work.

Fortunately, Norman Brooke is really going to retire, and at the same time handed over the positions of cabinet secretary and chief minister to the latecomer, that is, Alan Wilson himself, ensuring the integrity of Whitehall.

"Burke is very dissatisfied with you as the civil secretary. I thought I could get at least one position." Makins connoted Burke Trend, the competitor of Alan Wilson.

"Understandable." Alan Wilson, who changed his office location, is not quite used to the environment of the Cabinet Secretary's Office.

Alan Wilson thought he would be very excited, but when it came to this day, he found that he was not as happy as he imagined. Maybe it was too early to know.

It's like war will increase the approval rate of the incumbent president, but it is always stimulated by war, stimulated again and again, and when the warlike people are also tired, the approval rate of the sleeping king has been unable to increase. On the contrary, with the outbreak of the war, the support rate has also declined.

The president of the United States is regarded as the most powerful person in Europe and the United States. Such presidential power can easily be transformed into a distinctive personal style, whether it is Kennedy, Nixon, or later Reagan and Bush and his sons.

The problem with Sleeping King is that no matter what he, the president of the United States, is doing, people are not impressed. They all think that this is a collective decision of the US government, which is completely opposite to Wang Wang's personal style.

For an American president, if such an image is not reversed, it will be extremely terrifying.

Makins, who didn't know what the new supreme authority was thinking, asked if there would be any personnel changes?

"What we are pursuing is stability, and of course it is not static. But there will be no major changes for the time being." Allen Wilson replied sincerely that stability is not enough, but stability is necessary. These two words look similar but have absolutely different meanings.

At this stage, there will be no obvious changes in Whitehall and Norman Brooke. Although Alan Wilson has some ideas, there is no need to be so anxious to implement them. Here is one more thing. long.

Now conservatism, the people are always easily incited by ignorant emotions. When they can't see the future, what Whitehall needs to do is to stick to its views and never compromise, otherwise every government will achieve nothing.

While the two were chatting, the phone on the table rang, and Alan Wilson picked up the receiver and said, "Hi, I'm Alan."

"Sir, the Prime Minister is looking for you." The voice of the Prime Minister's private secretary Brest came.

"I'll be there soon!" Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Brest, in fact, my colleagues think that you are a very reliable person, and I may still need your help in many cases."

"No problem, sir." Brest's voice was full of excitement, delighted at the attention of the Supreme Authority.

Regardless of whether it is emotional or reasonable, Aiden will meet the newly appointed secretary-general of the cabinet. Although this head of civil servants has almost broken the convention and won the championship at an unusual age, it may bring many new changes. .

Aiden is also well aware of Alan Wilson's extraordinary potential power, and his father-in-law Mountbatten is the full-time commander of the British armed forces. His wife is the president of Britain's largest industrial group, which includes oil, steel, raw materials and food, aviation and automobile industries.

This may be the wealthiest cabinet secretary for a family since the Cabinet Office.

There are even some voices that think that Britain should split the Mountbatten Group. Of course, this voice will only make a group of nobles who have obtained Australian citizenship run away with buckets.

Back then, the capitalists could use their economic strength to defeat the aristocratic group whose main income was land. Now the aristocratic group can also use greater economic strength to regain the glory of the past. No matter how bad it is, they will not stay in the British mainland and wait to die.

"Alan, you are here." Aiden saw Alan Wilson appear, pointed to the seat in front of him and asked him to sit down, and began the first meeting after Alan Wilson was promoted to the secretary general of the cabinet. will be his partner in leading the UK.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, Aiden will win this general election.

Although Alan Wilson expressed deep doubts about the reliability of the Conservative Party, judging from this Nassau meeting, at least Aiden was fine, and he did not commit the traitorous act that Macmillan has historically done.

"Dear Prime Minister, seeing you on this occasion for the first time, I feel a little nervous." Alan Wilson sat upright, expressing his humility and the mentality of coming to listen to teachings.

"Whitehall should indeed undergo some changes." Aiden said, apparently he has no objections to the Whitehall led by Norman Brooke, "I hope that the Whitehall led by you can unleash the full potential of Britain."

"Of course I will do my best." Alan Wilson replied bluntly, expressing reliability, "As a diplomat, I have always set my sights on the scope of the Commonwealth. I hope the integrity of the Commonwealth , to drive Britain forward."

Aiden naturally didn't know that the situation in the UK was countless times better than the UK in Alan Wilson's memory.

If he remembers correctly, at this time in history, Britain has already taken the third position in Europe, and its economic aggregate has been surpassed by Germany and France. This virtue is naturally at the Nassau Conference, facing the United States I can't get angry anymore.

For the United Kingdom in this era, the term "British disease" has been specially created by various countries. How can an economy that can only rank third in Europe support the pound's share of international settlements for a long time? The scope of circulation of the British pound is getting smaller and smaller, which has caused the British economy to become weaker and weaker.

Compared with the Attlee period, the economic achievements of the Aiden government are not very impressive, which is normal. The post-war Labor Party cabinet has indeed made outstanding achievements in the field of catching up, after all, the starting point is low.

After more than ten years, when Aiden took back the House of Commons, all the tricks that should have been used have been used. There is no good effect if you continue to use it. This has led many people in the UK to believe that the economic policies of the Conservative Party are not good.

Alan Wilson has nothing to do. The female prime minister who changed Britain's post-war economic policy is still adapting to the position of education minister. Besides, based on the current public opinion, if Thatcher dares to use historical tricks If it is used in advance, there is a high probability that it will fail. An era has its own method, and using it in advance may only make things worse.

"Technology is constantly developing. Prime Minister, the existing industries are not enough to bring the UK to a higher level. Then we must focus on high-tech industries and adopt policy support."

Alan Wilson gave his own answer, "Integrated circuits in the United States are developing rapidly. I think this is definitely a trend. In the future, integrated circuits may become extremely important and should receive the government's attention."

"Is it a new type of semiconductor?" Aiden also knows about the emerging industries in the United States, but he still doesn't know how well it can develop. It doesn't take long to go from electron tubes to transistors. will face elimination.

This is impossible, at least in the world in Alan Wilson's memory, integrated circuits have not been eliminated, so it is worth investing in, "Prime Minister, for Britain, the Industrial Revolution is to change Britain from a small border island to a leading world One of the reasons for the empire, Britain should not adopt a conservative attitude in the face of new industries."

Integrated circuits use a certain process to interconnect transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components and wiring required in a circuit, and make them on a small or several small semiconductor wafers or dielectric substrates, and then package them in a tube. Inside the shell, it becomes a microstructure with the required circuit functions; all the components in it have formed a whole in structure, which makes the electronic components take a big step towards miniaturization, low power consumption, intelligence and high reliability~www .lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson's original intention of wanting to develop semiconductors is very simple. What the United States has, the United Kingdom also needs to have it, no matter how bad it is, Europe also needs to have it. Just like the US president has been to places, he will also go.

Japan has once posed a great threat to the United States in the semiconductor industry, and there is no reason why the United Kingdom cannot do it.

Of course, the initial investment will definitely not be small. Maybe Aiden may not be able to see the effect even if he is re-elected. But Alan Wilson still tried his best to convince Aiden that the semiconductor industry should support him.

"You prepare an assessment report first." Aiden thought about it, and let Alan Wilson try. His economic achievements during his tenure are far less impressive than those in the diplomatic field, which is why he has been unable to separate support from the Labor Party.

"I'll go investigate right away." Alan Wilson agreed without hesitation. To be honest, he really doesn't know much about the foundation of the UK's semiconductor industry. He needs someone to help him complete this matter.

After thinking about it, Alan Wilson asked Turing if he could return to England to help while announcing the good news to his wife. As for the excuse, Whitehall is considering making Turing the president of the Royal Interstellar Society.
