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 responsibilities.

The title of the post of Cabinet Secretary has never been changed, and successive Cabinet Secretaries are very clear that they are responsible to the Cabinet as a whole, but sometimes, this responsibility inevitably leads to regular tensions between the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister at the time. This is especially true when the prime minister sees himself as the head of government rather than the head of his peers.

The question now is whether the post of Cabinet Secretary and the Chief of the Civil Service should be filled by the same person. The advantage of having the two positions held by the same person is that the Secretary of State can maintain daily contact with the Chief Executive-Prime Minister.

Fortunately, Norman Brooke is really going to retire, handing over the positions of Cabinet Secretary and Secretary of the Civil Service to the latecomer, Alan Wilson himself, to ensure the integrity of Whitehall.

"Burke was very dissatisfied with your position as Chief of the Civil Service, and thought he could get at least one position." Markins connoted Burke Trend, Alan Wilson's competitor.

"Understandable." Alan Wilson, who had changed his office location, was not quite adapted to the environment of the cabinet secretary's office.

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

This is like the war will increase the approval rate of the incumbent president, but always use the stimulation of war, again and again, when the belligerents are also tired, the approval rate of Sleeping King has been unable to pull up. On the contrary, with the outbreak of the war, the support rate also fell.

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 style of the individual, whether it is Kennedy, Nixon or later Reagan and the Bush father and son.

The problem with Sleeping King is that no matter what the incumbent President of the United States is doing, people are not impressed. They all believe that this is a collective decision of the US government, which is completely opposite to the distinctive style of understanding Wang.

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

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

"What we pursue is stability, of course, it is not static. But there will be no major changes for the time being." Alan Wilson answered sincerely, unchanged is not acceptable, but stability is necessary. These two words look similar, but they are definitely different in meaning.

At this stage, there will be no obvious changes in the Whitehall and Norman Brook periods. Of course Alan Wilson has some ideas, but there is no need to be so anxious to implement them. I have to say one more thing here. He has not yet resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. long.

Now conservatism, people are always easily incited by ignorance, when they can't see the future, what Whitehall needs to do is to stick to their own opinions 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, "Hello, I'm Alan."

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

"Coming soon!" Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Brest, in fact, colleagues all think that you are a very reliable person, and I may still need your help many times."

"No problem, sir." There was excitement in Brest's voice, joy at the attention of the supreme authority.

Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, Aiden has to meet the newly appointed cabinet secretary. Although the head of the civil service has almost broken the convention and won the title at an extraordinary age, it may bring many new changes. .

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

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

There are even some voices that the UK should break up the Mountbatten Group. Of course, this kind of 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 groups whose main income was land. Now the aristocratic groups can also use greater economic strength to regain their former glory, and no matter how bad they are, they will not stay in the UK and sit still.

"Alan, you're here." Aiden saw Alan Wilson appear, pointed to the position in front of him and asked him to sit down, starting his first meeting after Alan Wilson was promoted to Cabinet Secretary. Will be his partner to lead the UK.

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

Although Alan Wilson is deeply skeptical of the reliability of the Conservative Party, from this Nassau meeting, at least Aiden has no problem, and did not make the historically traitorous act of MacMillan.

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

"There should indeed be some changes in Whitehall." Aiden said, obviously he was not indifferent to the Whitehall led by Norman Brooke, "I hope that the Whitehall you lead can unleash the full potential of Britain."

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

Naturally, Aiden didn't know that the situation in Britain was many times better than the one Alan Wilson remembered.

If he remembers correctly, at this time in history, the United Kingdom is already the third largest in Europe, and its economic aggregate has been surpassed by Germany and France. Naturally, this virtue was at the Nassau Conference, facing the United States. Can't get tough.

For the United Kingdom in this era, the term British disease was specially born in various countries. How can an economy that can only rank third in Europe can support the international settlement share of the pound for a long time? The circulation of sterling is getting smaller and smaller, leading to the weakening of the British economy.

Compared to Attlee's time, the economic success of the Aiden government is not very bright, which is normal. The post-war Labour cabinet has indeed done a great job of catching up, after all, from a low starting point.

After more than ten years, when Aiden regained the House of Commons, all the tricks that should have been used have been used. Continuing to use it has no good effect, which has led many people in the UK to believe that the Conservative Party's economic policy is not good.

Alan Wilson has nothing to do. The female prime minister who changed the British post-war economic policy is still adapting to the position of education secretary. Besides, based on the current public opinion, if Thatcher dared to use historical tricks If you use it in advance, there is a high probability that it will fail. There is a method in an era. Using it in advance may only make things worse.

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

Alan Wilson gave his answer, "Integrated circuits in the United States are developing rapidly. I think this must be a trend. Maybe in the future, integrated circuits will become extremely important and should receive the attention of the government."

"Is it a new type of semiconductor?" Aiden also knew about the emerging industry in the United States, but he didn't know how well it could develop. It didn't take long for it 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 the UK, the Industrial Revolution is to change the UK from a marginal island to leading the world. One of the big reasons for empire, Britain should not be conservative when it comes to emerging industries."

Integrated circuits use a certain process to interconnect components and wirings such as transistors, resistors, capacitors and inductors required in a circuit, 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 miniature structure with the required circuit functions; all the components are structurally integrated, which makes the electronic components take a big step towards miniaturization, low power consumption, intelligence and high reliability.

Alan Wilson's original intention to develop semiconductors is very simple. The United States must have it in the United Kingdom, and Europe must have it no matter how bad it is. Just like the place where the President of the United States has been, he also wants to go.

Japan has 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 is definitely not 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 be supported.

"You prepare an evaluation report first." Aiden thought about it, but let Alan Wilson give it a try. His economic achievements during his tenure are far less dazzling than those in the diplomatic field, which is why he has been unable to win the support of the Labour Party.

"I'll investigate right away." Alan Wilson agreed immediately. To be honest, he really didn't know much about the basics of the UK's semiconductor industry. He needed someone to help him complete this matter.

After thinking about it, Alan Wilson asked Turing if he could go back to England to help out while announcing his wife. As for excuses, Whitehall is considering Turing as president of the Royal Interstellar Society.
