v2 Chapter 1319: 250 million budget

Popular recommendation:

Mediation in the Indo-Pakistani war is a trump card for former Prime Minister Aiden to ensure victory in the early election. Of course, the current results have proved that the early election is indeed a risky thing, and it is best not to do it.

However, it cannot be denied that the security situation in South Asia has indeed been contributed by the United Kingdom, and the Conservative Party's defeat in the election comes from the classic line of Zidley, "Idiot, the problem is the economy."

However, there is one thing that can be used to make a fuss. Regarding the drought in eastern India, oil can not only be used to refuel cars, but also an important raw material for fertilizers.

In fact, the fertilizer companies that the Soviet Union assisted abroad were generally the fertilizer industry that used petroleum as raw materials, such as North Korea.

The reason why North Korea's agricultural regression occurred after the disintegration of the Soviet Union was related to the loss of oil sources in North Korea's petrochemical industry, which caused agricultural regression and entered the orbit of a miserable march. The oil embargo caused by the Indo-Pakistani war has greatly hurt India's industry and agriculture.

It is a coincidence that India has experienced drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges since last year.

The weather in a country with a monsoon climate is unstable. This kind of drought caused by the early or late arrival of the monsoon is a natural disaster of force majeure. Who made India's climate not rainy and hot at the same time?

Knowing that India will experience dry weather in the past two years, Alan Wilson may regret not refraining from the very damaging suggestion of embargoing oil.

At the Stockholm meeting, Indian Prime Minister Shastri mentioned India's difficulties in facing the oil embargo. Alan Wilson, the best friend of the Indian people, cannot forget this because of the change of government. He arrived at No. 10 Downing Street. , Brest led his immediate boss into the Prime Minister's office, Alan Wilson asked with a flat face, "Brest, does the Prime Minister approve of you?"

"It seems to be fine so far." Brest was a little puzzled, "Secretary-General, I am a reliable civil servant."

"The British Water Company is in the process of preparation, and the Deputy Secretary-General is temporarily leading this work. Of course, the Deputy Secretary-General's concern about the water work is only temporary. In the long run, the Water Company needs to be in charge. The Permanent Secretary of the Home Office is approaching retirement age. I mean, a former permanent secretary at the water company represents Whitehall's determination to nationalize the water system. If you don't mind, the Home Office really needs a reliable person to run it."

Alan Wilson explained his views as he walked. Brest was overjoyed. Does he mean supreme authority? It was he who had the opportunity to become Permanent Undersecretary of the Home Office, "Thank you so much, Sir..."

"Don't be too happy, it will take a year to nationalize the water supply system, involving thousands of institutions, and there are still many things to do." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, "You should do the best job in front of you first, and let the Prime Minister leave it to you. If the Principal Private Secretary is promoted to Deputy Secretary, that will not be a problem."

As soon as the words fell, Alan Wilson was already standing at the door of the Prime Minister's office. Brest opened the door with reverence and watched the supreme authority walk in.

Harold Wilson has just taken the throne of Prime Minister, and he is still in a state of energy at this time. I believe that the water resources law will be released soon. In his spare time, he listened to the Secretary General of the Cabinet, "Aid India, India appeared last year. Drought? Doesn’t mean there will be a drought this year, right?”

"The combined effect of the oil embargo should be counted." Alan Wilson explained the fact that oil is a raw material for fertilizers, and then said, "India's climate is unstable, mainly due to the following aspects."

I have often talked about the different periods of rain and heat, India's heat has trouble with heat, and why Indians like to use curry and spicy seasonings, which is also related to the climate.

If a meal cannot be eaten in a short period of time, the best way to preserve the quality is of course the refrigerator. Obviously, every household in India cannot have refrigerators. Oil can also be used in the normal quality preservation method. Meat can be kept longer in summer, apparently not in India either.

Many dishes in India are like a lagoon, so we can only use spicy seasonings to keep the food as good as possible. Curry is popular in India for its own reasons.

India's grain production is threatened by climate instability, oil can't be used, and individuals cannot store food for a long time. These are all objective difficulties. What's more, according to the telegram of the Indian ambassador, there is a plague outbreak in India this year. All in all, India is really difficult this year. .

"I don't know how Aiden decided to deal with it at the time, did he use the reserve grain?" Harold Wilson came to be interested and asked if he wanted to use the reserve grain to aid India.

The UK’s grain reserve system was a veil by the Soviet Union’s desire to buy grain with gold. However, it has to be said that the UK has indeed established a grain reserve system and has reserved a grain reserve system that can last for 180 days. , of course, Whitehall strongly supports it, because civil servant positions can be arranged. The strength of the support is the same as the support for the nationalization of the water supply system this time.

"There is this idea, but the taste of British food is in conflict with the people of the subcontinent. What we need is wheat, and the Indians mainly eat rice." Alan Wilson said that this emphasized, "The Malayan colony was also at the time with the native The same establishment of a grain reserve system is very close to the taste of India.”

"You were already the cabinet secretary at that time?" Harold Wilson asked with a smile, "Whitehall really likes the Malayan colony."

Of course, it's all about creating jobs, but the prime minister doesn't need to know such trivial things, Alan Wilson, "We can allocate Malaya's grain reserves to help India, of course, this is not unilateral assistance, India is a Great country, we have to take care of the dignity of Indians."

Indians must never be taken advantage of. In Alan Wilson, it has become the dignity of taking care of Indians. Harold Wilson agrees with this statement. He was the foreign secretary in this time and space, and he also knows that from a diplomatic perspective, Ai Len Wilson is right.

"This is also to compete with the Soviet Union for influence. When wars have erupted in Southeast Asia, India still has to appease the interests of the United Kingdom. Otherwise, it will only damage the interests of the United Kingdom."

Alan Wilson explained another important reason for doing so, bringing the topic to the Vietnam War, "In addition to the military's combat effectiveness is the dependence of British global interests, we cannot ignore the traditional influence."

"The military plays an important role in safeguarding Britain's global interests, and we have never denied it. Britain's border is in the Himalayas." Harold Wilson's answer gave the cabinet secretary in front of him a reassurance.

Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. The border of the United Kingdom is in the Himalayas. This is a slogan of Harold Wilson's campaign. Alan Wilson does not expect the Prime Minister to do what he says. But don't just withdraw 100,000 British troops from overseas. It's easy to withdraw, but there is no chance to go back.

"Hopefully the U.S. can resolve Vietnam right away, and then bring things back to Europe," Harold Wilson asked. "Do you think the war will end in two years?"

"We are cautiously optimistic. We are also happy for the export of our Tiger gunships, which reflects the role of the special relationship between the United States and the United States." Alan Wilson smiled. This is the first battle of the military-industrial complex. How could it be? so easy to end?

The Soviet bloc also doesn’t want to end so soon. The Soviet Union pays one dollar, and the United States needs twenty dollars to balance it out. Wouldn’t this deal for the Soviets be counted?

If the United States was in the Soviet Union's position, it would do this even more. The tens of billions and tens of billions of money would not blink, but it means to win over ASEAN, and the landlords have no surplus food. Just $500 million to kill the beggars.

After all, giving to Ukraine will satisfy the military enterprises, but giving it to ASEAN will never return.

I have to admit that the American military-industrial complex in later generations is even more greedy than it was during the Vietnam War. It has only been less than three months, how much additional aid has been added? What a big country is an unprecedented competitor, it is just a pleasure. The opponent that really deserves the attention of the military-industrial complex has to be Russia.

After walking out of the Prime Minister's Office, Alan Wilson was very happy and talked about it for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ He at least knew that the Prime Minister was not ready to disarm, and expressed his appreciation for the export of Tiger armed helicopters.

Although it is a pleasure to say that the British border is in the Himalayas, as long as we do not disarm, we are all good friends.

In April, the Ministry of Finance officially released the budget for the nationalization of the water supply system, with a total expenditure of 250 million pounds, involving 29 river basins and 1,400 institutions, a one-year nationalization budget, Harold Wilson was taken aback and didn't expect so much money.

"Actually, the nationalization under Prime Minister Attlee also cost a lot." Frank came with Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callahan to explain the first round of nationalization under Attlee, when the Labour government took it out. nearly £2 billion in funding to complete the target. Compared with the nationalization movement that time, the nationalization of the water supply system this time can only be regarded as a small test.

In the House of Commons at the beginning of April, Harold Wilson took out his own water resources law for a vote, and the result was naturally passed with an overwhelming majority of Labour.

"Secretary, I heard that Aiden of the Conservative Party intends to retire. Who do you think is the next leader of the Conservative Party?" Markins took his eyes off the live TV vote in the House of Commons and asked Alan Wilson, who was watching TV together. .

"Now the Conservative Party giants and Aiden are about the same age, like Profumo and the others, it seems that there is no possibility of replacing Butler and Holm's group." Alan Wilson dragged his head with one hand, his face covered with writing How do I know, "As for Madnin?"

"Don't think about him, Maidening has accepted the employment of the financial group, and the group director has done a good job." Markins laughed.
