v2 Chapter 1316: Nationalization of the water supply syst

"Honey, how is this Prime Minister?" Anna, who was playing tricks, spoke first.

"It's okay, no matter which party comes to power, Whitehall must cooperate with them." Having said that, Alan Wilson was actually thinking about the contradiction between the former government's policies and the Labor Party. Consensus politics is indeed the consensus of the two parties after the war, but the Conservative Party is the Conservative Party after all, and there must be differences between the two parties.

The reason why both the Labor Party and the Conservative Party governed cautiously after the war is that in addition to the general election, there is also a by-election. Once the ruling party is unable to widen the lead gap, the ruling party's precarious status can easily be pulled down by a by-election.

"Perhaps he has learned a lot from the ruling experience of the Socialist Party from various countries. Isn't the leader of the Labor Party the vice-chairman of the Socialist International?" Pokina saw that the man with the same status as her husband seemed to have an empty head, so she took the initiative to say, "No Knowing what Washington thinks of him taking office."

"I don't know. There are both positive and negative news." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly. When he was alone in the opposition, what he said was completely different from when he was in power.

Coupled with the issue of the Second International's attributes of the Labor Party, Harold Wilson has repeatedly stated that he will "maintain a strong relationship with the United States", so that in some aspects of foreign policy, the Labor Party's attitude may be closer to the views of the United States. He put forward some specific plans several times, advocating that the West seek real cooperation with the Soviet Union.

However, judging from the rumors that some British troops were going to overthrow Harold Wilson in the late period of his administration, it seems that the United States and the United Kingdom were dissatisfied with his and the Soviet Union's détente policy.

But one thing is for sure. When the Labor Party was the opposition party, Harold Wilson claimed to nationalize coal and iron. Once he came to power, this election promise will most likely be fulfilled. Nationalization of coal and steel could be expected to be Harold Wilson's first objective after taking office.

Alan Wilson thinks this kind of move is okay. After all, because of the relationship in his previous life, he is not averse to nationalizing some industries. Coal and iron are industries that are extremely important to the country. By the way, there is also the nationalization of the water supply issue. I almost forgot that the Mountbatten Group is involved in these industries and has relevant talents.

But what about the quality of British coal and iron ore? I can only say that everyone understands that this is an era of globalization. The quality of British iron mines is no less than that of a big country, and the quality of coal mines ranks first in Europe but is nothing in the world? Only the nationalization of the water supply system does not see any difficulties.

While the supreme authority was talking to the two dragoons, Prime Minister Eden of the Conservative Party government, who was not prepared for defeat, had submitted his resignation to the Queen. Subsequently, the Queen summoned Labor Party leader Harold Wilson and appointed him as Prime Minister of the Labor Party government.

Wilson later appointed a number of key cabinet ministers, including first secretary of state and economic affairs secretary George Brown; foreign secretary Patrick Gordon Walker; defense secretary Dennis Healy; chancellor of the exchequer James Callaghan and leader of the House of Commons Herbert Bowden.

Harold Wilson was happy at this time. Of course he didn't know that he had been on stage for more than a year than in history, and he was about to enter No. 10 Downing Street. He was in a state of complacency and seemed to be about to Make your own mark on British history.

When Harold Wilson arrived at 10 Downing Street the next day, Alan Wilson was already waiting there to pay his respects to the new prime minister.

"Alan, it's been a long time." Harold Wilson laughed heartily. He was very happy to see a familiar face. The two had worked together in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Both impress each other.

Alan Wilson nodded with a smile. It will take some time to see the impact of Aiden's overturn on the Conservative Party. The most important thing now is to welcome the arrival of the new prime minister. Apparently Harold Wilson, first-time prime minister, couldn't wait.

The card for the general election in advance is not guaranteed. Aiden obviously lost this time. There are similar examples in Alan Wilson's memory.

Compared with normal elections, an early general election is more like a political gamble, full of uncertainties. Although the ruling party has won four out of six elections, including a landslide victory for the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher. But at the same time, there are many examples of early general elections. For example, British Prime Minister Edward Heath lost a bet. At that time, the Conservative Party Prime Minister asked voters during the national election: "Who is ruling the UK?" The answer was to send Harold Wilson of the Labor Party into No. 10 Downing Street.

Eden was obviously among the losers this time. He thought he could consolidate the position of the Conservative Party by mediating the India-Pakistan war, but he didn't expect the voters to not accept it.

"Dear Cabinet Secretary, let me introduce myself. I am the political secretary of the Prime Minister." A short-haired woman next to Harold Wilson stretched out her hand to say hello. She introduced herself as Maria Falcond, the leader of the Labor Party. political secretary.

"Oh, hello, admirable lady." Alan Wilson greeted the party secretary in a friendly manner without looking outside. He didn't like such a character, but there was no way, it was traditional.

However, the political secretary has no power. The power of the cabinet is naturally the power of the cabinet, and the daily decision-making power is in the hands of Whitehall. It does not seem to be particularly troublesome.

"Alan, there are still many places for you to help, and I don't have much experience." Harold Wilson took the initiative to speak. To be honest, the current Labor Party is completely different from Attlee's time. The Labor Party has also completed a new generation. The person with experience in governance is Harold Wilson, the current leader of the Labor Party and former Foreign Secretary.

Therefore, Harold Wilson, after leaving the power center for so many years, naturally expressed his friendship with his former permanent secretary and the current cabinet secretary.

Obviously, now the Labor Party needs to get familiar with the environment, and then it is time to implement the grand blueprint. Alan Wilson immediately stated that Whitehall will resolutely implement all the instructions of the cabinet. Of course, he will first set aside time for the prime minister's team to formulate policies. This gap In between, he decided to console his Conservative friends, like Mrs Thatcher.

Then I waited at Hepburn's place, what major political strategy the Labor Party government would come up with, Hepburn was very surprised, "The government has changed, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"What's the rush, fulfilling the election promise? Isn't it the issue of nationalization? Another possible threat is military spending. But in the current environment, I believe the Prime Minister will not make a move on military spending. I'm not saying that there is no possibility at all, it's just a possibility. It’s not big.” Alan Wilson had a tactical back, and his palm had already rested on the fragrant shoulder of the ball from Hepburn’s back.

"It's fine if you think it's okay." Hepburn could tell that the man's mood was definitely not as relaxed as it seemed on the surface, so he took the initiative to kiss the man, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Originally there were some, but Audrey said so, so there is nothing at all." Alan Wilson got carried away. As a man, he always wanted to prove something in front of women.

He laughed lazily, moving his head only an inch so that their lips touched, and the laughter melted like sugar in water, leaving only a cold sweetness in his veins. The emptiness and loneliness also disappeared without a trace. Hepburn blindly wrapped one arm around the man's neck, trying to capture the pleasure that spread all over her body like a waterfall of gauze. Leaning helplessly against him, her body trembled.

As if wrapped in a magic net, I felt my reason and my thoughts directed towards this man until Alan Wilson became the central point of his existence. And the man's hands moved over her delicate body, every touch was full of tenderness and tenderness, like a miracle. Search the secrets of her body.

A few days later, the Labor Party government went through the initial bewilderment ~lightnovelpub.net~ and began to operate officially. The Labor Party government with the great Harold Wilson at its core decided to promote its own governance philosophy.

Alan Wilson, the secretary-general of the cabinet, was called to the prime minister's office. Not surprisingly, the topic revolved around the second round of nationalized industries. In post-war economic theory, government intervention is not a mistake, and the Labor Party especially believes this a little.

Harold Wilson lays out his ideas about nationalizing coal, iron and water systems, then asks Alan Wilson what he thinks of this, "It's good for the economy. Economic theory supports it."

"I don't know, Prime Minister." Alan Wilson said in his heart that he has always regarded economic theory as fart, and hesitated, "But, we are looking after the local water supply system in Malaya, and we have similar talents , In this way, the coal and iron industry is a very important industry. Everyone denies this, but the water supply system involves thousands of households, and it is actually more important. Dear Prime Minister, how about we start with the water supply system? Colleagues have always been hostile to nationalized financial expenditures. Once the nationalized industry spends too much, it may affect all aspects. It will hurt the interests of the United Kingdom."

If the prime minister insists on this point, Alan Wilson will recall the water supply system officials in colonial Malaya to help the Labor government fulfill its election promise in this livelihood project.

"That's great, Alan. I thought there would be difficulties at first." Harold Wilson didn't expect the communication to be so smooth. He also agreed with the supreme authority that the people's livelihood project is indeed extremely important and should be started first.

"Of course there are difficulties, and we never avoid them." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, not only not avoiding difficulties, but also actively creating difficulties if there are no difficulties.
