British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1218: Eden's 2nd term

Whether Pamela Mountbatten's road of grain merchants can gain fame through this battle will have a great impact on future development. It is also an excellent occasion to show strength. Which industry's top has not been tested?

For the citizens of the world, money is only one aspect. Even if the money is separated from the specific industry endorsement, it is worthless, such as the ruble.

In fact, the value of the ruble must be underestimated. The vast majority of every resource-exporting country in the world adopts a strong monetary policy. No matter where the country is located, as long as the country has resources that can support the currency, the country's currency will be very strong.

Even if the ruble during the Cold War was not as strong as the US dollar and the pound, it would not be undervalued too much.

Decades later, although Russia's industrial strength has been greatly reduced, but when you think about the currencies of those countries in the Middle East and Australia's Australian dollar, you can see at a glance that the value of the ruble is wrong.

Why is the dinar of a small country in the Middle East so strong, but the ruble does not seem to have as high a purchasing power as the yen? The answer is that the noose on Russia has never been untied.

The suppression of Russia has never been relaxed, and it will not end with the end of the Cold War.

Therefore, Russia's economic aggregate is not as special as a province, so don't think it can always exist. In 1997, the ruble was exchanged for 5,000 rubles for one dollar. Not to mention Russia is not as good as a province of a certain big country, the whole country is not as good as Greece.

Allen Wilson tried his best to assist his wife and shape the Mountbatten Group into a concern group. It is also to support the value of the pound. France can dominate the traditional sphere of influence in Africa, and the United Kingdom cannot be inferior to France in any way.

You must know that the conditions of the British colonies are much better than those of the French colonies. There are also Commonwealth countries such as Australia and Canada. It is not a multiple-choice question, but a must.

The female president who has been raised since childhood cannot take it for granted that the power she manipulates in this world is much greater than that of her husband. In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you will understand that it is not the case.

She is only now grasping this information, although she has a lot of money, although she has close ties with the aristocracy, although she has repeatedly claimed that she is husband and wife with the cabinet secretary of Whitehall, this is still not enough. Like the Olympic slogan, faster, higher and stronger.

Pamela Mountbatten had to accept the role assigned by her husband. This causality is hard to believe. People don't have any right to act like that. The world wouldn't be a world if people were so reckless.

This is madness, which means that you have money, companies, and the power to call the shots, but you still can't do whatever you want, you have to smash it.

Obviously, her husband has high expectations for her, and what the female president needs to do is to live up to this expectation, quietly and unambiguously accept the man's arrangement, just like so many arrangements in the past, trusting this arrangement 100%.

"If you tell it, no one will believe it. Your trust in Ellen is unreserved." This is not the first time that Princess Margaret has seen similar scenes, but similar scenes are still being re-enacted.

"He is my husband, he will not harm me." Pamela Mountbatten put down the microphone and said without reservation.

While talking, Pamela Mountbatten had already put on her coat, and she was going to meet the Governor of Western Australia.

London, the Royal Opera House, there is no stage play today, the entire theater is empty, only three people are there, including two former supreme authorities, Edward Bridges and Norman Brooke, and a suit and tie, A well-dressed man, the three of them were talking and laughing.

"Sir Edward and Sir Norman, the Prime Minister announced that a general election will be held. What do you think the odds are? Will the Labor Party, which is supported by industrial workers, win, or the Conservative Party, which is loved by citizens with big country ambitions?" Brown Williamson asked the two A former head of state who has left Whitehall.

"How do I know that? I've already retired." Norman Brook shook his head slightly.

"When Allen arrives, it would be better for you to ask the current cabinet secretary." Edward Bridges replied flatly, "Now he is in charge of the work of Whitehall. The day before yesterday he held an overseas meeting at Hoxon Manor , to be able to appear this time, it is regarded as a great importance to you."

As soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded in the theater, and the footsteps were clearly visible from far to near. Edward Bridges listened for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "It's not Allen."

Sure enough, Wick showed up right away, and said to the two supreme authorities, "Sir Edward, Sir Norman, the secretary-general of the cabinet is going to the airport to see off the overseas commissioner, and they should be here soon."

Alan Wilson, who was at the London International Airport, ordered with a corporal demeanor, "Your job is to maintain your presence overseas. Everything is in balance. Most colonies may eventually be independent, but they can be transformed into invisible enterprises. Rooted in the local area, the more interests you can grasp, the cornerstone of the country will not be shaken."

"Understood, Secretary-General." A group of well-dressed overseas commissioners who accepted the new mission replied in unison.

"Be quieter next time." Alan Wilson glanced at the pedestrians around him, nodded and said, "The chairman of British American Tobacco asked me to meet at the Royal Theater, and I will leave first."

It doesn't work if you don't go, because the previous two supreme authorities are also there, and it won't make sense to wait for a long time.

Before becoming the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson used to stand like a minion, but he will not be domineering just because he has climbed to the top now. Everything lies in balance, and strength comes from the collective.

Thirty minutes later, his figure had already appeared in the Royal Theater, and he apologized to the two former heads of civil servants as soon as he appeared, "I went to the airport to send the overseas commissioner to the plane, and I didn't mean to be late on purpose."

"We know all about you." Edward Bridges expressed indifference, then extended his hand and introduced, "Brown Williamson, Chairman of British American Tobacco Group."

"This is a star enterprise in the UK. It has created untold wealth and has a place in the world." Alan Wilson immediately extended his hand to say hello, "Whitehall has always supported pillar enterprises such as the tobacco group to grow and develop. And take on greater social responsibilities. If there is anything you need to help, you can directly say so.”

"The tobacco group was indeed in a difficult period after the war. During the war, we lost many terminal markets, and the source of raw materials was also affected." Brown Williamson told the truth, "But now it has recovered. Last year's Profit was £85 million and we expect £100 million in three years' time."

"This is really good news. There are not many companies in the UK with an annual profit of over 100 million yuan." Alan Wilson was very happy, but he knew that Brown Williamson must have something to find him, otherwise he would not have hired two Heads of civil servants came to accompany.

Sure enough, when Brown Williamson saw the support of the current cabinet secretary, he mentioned his attempt to expand the market, "Sir Allen, the tobacco group needs to diversify. At present, we feel that the conditions in South Africa and Australia are good. We Knowing that your wife, Ms. Pamela, has deep roots and connections in both countries, I hope to be able to help."

"I have some contacts." Alan Wilson replied modestly, and then thought for a while, "Personally, I have no problem. The profits of the tobacco industry are extremely beneficial to Britain. To be honest, if the Labor Party is in power, I might suggest nationalizing your group."

Alan Wilson is very serious, and he is definitely not joking. If the Labor Party is really in power and there is a need for this, he will really nationalize British American Tobacco, in line with the non-famous small and micro enterprises in a big country.

The few people chatted happily. Brown Williamson took out the prepared whiskey and poured it while saying, "The secretary-general can really joke. I believe that with the help of the Mountbatten Group, the business expansion in Australia and South Africa will be very rapid. Yes Now, the Prime Minister has just announced a general election in the House of Commons, what does the Secretary-General think of this?"

"It's hard to say. The strength of the two parties has been closer than ever since the war. Except for the first two times when the Labor Party won a complete victory, the rest of the times were extremely close." Alan Wilson shook his head while shaking his glass, "But On the basis of consensus politics, there should be no major differences. The Prime Minister is going to hold a general election to secure a victory for the Conservative Party with the help of progress in the diplomatic field.”

So far, has it shaken the confrontation between the two powers of the Cold War? It's still early days, but British politics are already different.

There are reasons why Eden chose to start the general election at this time ~lightnovelpub.net~ instead of waiting for the Soviet gold dust to settle.

In the past January, the leader of the Labor Party Gatzke died suddenly. Wilson then once again became the left-wing candidate for the party leadership election, challenging George Brown. Later, Callaghan's participation in the election campaign dispersed the right-wing votes in the party, so that Wilson won the election and became the new leader of the Labor Party.

At present, Harold Wilson has just been elected leader and is integrating the differences within the Labor Party. In Aiden's view, this is a good opportunity not to be missed.

But who knows the final result, whether the Labor Party will come back under the leadership of the new party leader, or the Conservative Party will be re-elected, this is hard to say, and we cannot look at the problem with old eyes.

On February 24th, the general election officially started. The Conservative Party is optimistic, believing that the winner of this general election is already doomed in advance given the fact that the Labor Party has just elected a leader and internal instability.

However, with the process of counting the votes, the smiles of the confident Conservative Party gradually disappeared. It was not until the last moment that the Conservative Party won the victory. For the Conservative Party, this was another narrow victory. The Conservative Party only led by five seats. Almost lost at the hands of the new leader of the Labor Party.
