v2 Chapter 1416: appointed governor of hong kong

Whitehall 70, Cabinet Secretary's Office, Alan Wilson made a cup of black tea for the visitor, then sat down and said, "Crawford is also a colleague of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dixon and you have a good relationship, right? You are the first one from us, not those from the zoo. This time, when you go to Xiangjiang to take up the post, your colleagues have great hopes for you, and hope that you can achieve results in the post of Governor of Hong Kong."

My Great Britain has been decolonizing, and of course there are still many remnants at this time, which is inevitable.

However, at the government level, especially in terms of superficial projects, elected ministers cannot be allowed to continue to be linked to the colonies. Otherwise, the next time you run for election, you will tell your past. What will you talk about? Ever been a Colonial Governor?

It has been Whitehall's efforts for many years to separate certain colonial governors from the coverage of elected government members. For this reason, Alan Wilson has taken great pains, and how many contacts he has used to chatter around the cabinet. Looking back, it is full of sadness , The royal family, the House of Lords, and the military's connections were all used to achieve today's victory.

"Secretary-General, I understand." MacLehose, who will soon be the governor of Hong Kong, nodded, knowing that there are still many things waiting for him this time he takes office.

For example, in London, which is one Eurasian continent away, you can hear about Xiangjiang’s corruption. The police and gangsters are colluding, which has also had a negative impact on the image of the United Kingdom.

After listening to MacLehose, Alan Wilson nodded and said, "Of course, some corruption problems are unavoidable during extensive development. Our normal trade with traditional markets is about to make great strides. We really should clean up the house, colleague. We have no objection to rectifying the law and order in Xiangjiang."

The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption almost coincided with the tenure of MacLehose. There is no problem with this, and the four major gangster families and the four major Chinese inspectors cannot exist forever in Xiangjiang.

The United Kingdom will not allow this situation to continue, but what Alan Wilson wants to say is another issue, "The previous governor of Hong Kong intended to abolish the Qing law, but some colleagues, such as me, don't think it is a good idea. idea. Respecting local traditional laws is an important means for us to maintain our influence. If you look at Malaya, which also abides by local laws, there are now 250,000 British expatriates living there.”

"There is a reason for it, which is of course beneficial. We cannot deny that some immigrants or first-generation rich people from other countries who think highly of themselves like this kind of legal protection. For this reason, they bring their wealth to Malaya or Xiangjiang .”

"Uh, I also heard that local officials in Xiangjiang and Malaya mainly promote monogamy, but they will not forcibly prohibit it." MacLehose replied after a moment of pondering.

"In all the colonies, we will not be at odds with the local forces because of such details. The protectorate countries in the Middle East also have similar customs, and we didn't say anything." Alan Wilson pondered, "We must pay attention to our overseas colleagues In fact, some of my colleagues who have returned to China have illegitimate children, and they are still serving the country."

Alan Wilson is not talking about himself. Although this category strictly includes himself, it is mainly some civil servants stationed abroad. They usually have two or more partners.

How to do it? Of course, he pretended he didn't see it, and he wouldn't let these colleagues who made mistakes like men be **** just because of this kind of thing.

Seeing MacLehose nodding, Alan Wilson knew that this problem was no longer a problem, and said, "Then, I will not interfere with the issue of building a clean government. Maybe you end your term as Governor of Hong Kong, and the House of Lords will have you A seat, after all, the pearl of the British Empire is more shining, enough to make Her Majesty's subjects feel honored, and it is logical to enter the House of Lords."

This is a small problem for my per capita pearl. The key is to kill a group of corrupt officials who are based on the standards of the four chief inspectors. This is something to discuss, and he still needs to ask Xia Meng for his opinion, whether there is a suitable candidate for arrangement.

Of course, there is no rush. MacLehose will certainly not be able to blow up a clean government storm on the first day of taking office. Why don't you wait and see first?

MacLehose is also well aware that he was a diplomat. To be appointed Governor of Hong Kong this time also requires the support of Whitehall, not to mention the temptation of a seat in the House of Lords. The combined effect of the two has led to the tea party this time. .

"Xiangjiang is really a good place. The Prime Minister's Labor Party government sold a lot of efforts last time. If it weren't for Xiangjiang and Malaya, there would be such a big sales volume, wouldn't it?"

Alan Wilson took a sip of the wolfberry, and Shi Shiran said, "Actually, this adjustment is mainly for the docking of trade. We want to leverage on the prosperity of Xiangjiang. It is best to establish a chain of interests through Xiangjiang and connect it with the British pound." District, if it is done, it will be a great achievement."

There is no doubt that this is the most important thing. What are other ICAC and Qing laws compared to this matter?

Of course, the law of the Qing Dynasty is not unimportant, it helps the rich who take concubines to dilute their wealth and not expand too quickly. More prodigal sons will help increase consumption.

If there are still benefits, it may be like this time that Alan Wilson cannot personally decide the victory thousands of miles away, and micro-manipulation cannot guarantee accurate judgments in real time, so he needs a person to benefit the society instead of himself.

At the southern foot of the Himalayas, Sikkim, a small country that does not compete with the rest of the world, has gained a certain degree of popularity because of the UK's airborne presence in the international community.

Li Jisheng went into battle again and returned to the place where he worked for many years, but he came to help the young people around him, David Hartley Wilson, Vivien Leigh's son, but Li Jisheng didn't know this. I don't even know the relationship between this young talent and the supreme authority.

This time, the landing of hundreds of British soldiers and a batch of supplies caused waves of international public opinion. People who didn't know thought it was the British airborne division.

Next to David, Li Jisheng introduced the basic situation here, making Hao Daer, who is benefiting the society for the first time, nod frequently, "Actually, the customs here are very good, and the girls are also very simple."

Li Jisheng discovered that this young man was still chasing stars, so he came to Sikkim with a tape recorder, and there were songs playing in it. As far as he knew, this was the work of a pair of French twin singers. Now they are in the limelight in the French music scene. Hope not to focus on illusory emotions that are invisible and intangible.

"Oh? It turns out that civil servants stationed abroad are so free." David frowned slightly, and replied inexplicably, thinking whether his father was polluted by this atmosphere.

As for Li Jisheng's hint, he didn't understand it at all. To imply that this kind of thing needs another person to have this meaning, but he didn't mean it. The pair of rising stars in the French music scene? It's his sister, though not a mother, he's carrying the tape recorder because the songs are good, that's all, anyway, he's the one who changed little Monroe's diapers.

Before he came, he had already listened to what his father said, and if he worked hard, he would enter the fast promotion channel in the future, but the son of Great Britain Treasure didn't care much, as long as he came over and carried out his father's work.

"The geographical location of Sikkim is extremely important. Don't look at the small place, but once it is occupied by foreign forces, it will pose a huge threat to the northeastern state of India. The king and I have a very good personal relationship. The biggest foreign threat to Sikkim comes from India. Currently In terms of the alliance between the Soviet Union and India, Sikkim’s external threats are increasing, and India, with its backing, may ignore the pressure of the United Kingdom and attack Sikkim. The queen is an American, so think of a way from this.”

Recalling his father's entrustment in his mind, David sought Li Jisheng's opinion, and then said, "Then let's meet the king and queen and have a good talk."

The two soon met Palden and his American queen Hoppy Cook. The area of ​​Sikkim is less than 10,000 square kilometers, but it is big enough for an American civilian~lightnovelpub.net~. Hope Cook has lived in Sikkim for a while, and he knows that India in the south has ambitions for Sikkim.

"My dear queen, chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder." David imitated his old father's catchphrase, and said persuasively, "For current Sikkim, danger and opportunity coexist. At this moment, the Red Navy of the United States and the Soviet Union in the Bay of Bengal are confronting , this kind of confrontation is dangerous and involves the majesty of the two superpowers, but to be honest, the decisive battlefield is on land, Pakistan is struggling, we admire Pakistan's courage, but we have to admit that India's victory is only time Question, the outcome of this confrontation will be judged along with the outcome of the war."

"So what can Sikkim get? The result that the United States may be in the loser's position. If the queen can emphasize the important position of Sikkim and ask for help from the United States?"

"I'm just a commoner. Although I'm an American, what can I do?" Hope Cook was a little embarrassed, and it was too difficult for her to connect with the US government.

"It doesn't matter, the United Kingdom and the United States have a special relationship. Our channels are the channels of the Americans." David said in a tone that he knew you would say that, and he immediately agreed to help, "Of course, the British soldiers who came this time will always When the war is over, once Pakistan is defeated, you can contact your homeland."

On the other hand, King Palden of Sikkim expressed in front of Li Jisheng that he had established a solid relationship with the Secretary-General of the British Cabinet starting from the Golden Buddha. The UK is obligated to the safety of Sikkim, which was promised by the British government when the contract was signed.

"It is precisely because the Secretary-General still remembers this promise that he finds a way to make Washington notice the value of Sikkim." Li Jisheng reiterated that the promise of supreme authority is still valid.
