v2 Chapter 1492: party leader callaghan

"My friend, from what you said, it sounds so sweet every time. However, I know very well that my colleagues in Whitehall are not as easy to bribe as the subjects of Malaya. A bag of rice and a barrel of palm oil are enough to get rid of happily."

Alan Wilson asked with a smile, "People are always greedy, just like the Ministry of Finance said, no matter how much energy we put in to provide the needs of local citizens, in the end these voters who think they have grasped the context of the country feel that they deserve these things Yes, in all fairness, it's not good."

"A necessary unemployment rate will help increase the country's competition rate, while excessive welfare traps will be beneficial and harmless to the entire society." Alan Wilson said deeply, "and then lead to national stagnation."

"It sounds like the views of some members of the Conservative Party." John Hunter frowned slightly. At this time, there was indeed a trend of neoliberalism in the free world.

"Almost. It's actually an article criticizing the Soviet Union within the Soviet bloc." Alan Wilson couldn't explain it too clearly, otherwise John Hunter would ask him why he always read newspapers from a certain big country.

Although there are some problems with the source, Alan Wilson agrees with this point of view, "It's really a crime to spend all the money in vain on the poor."

Regarding the fact that British citizens are greedy and lazy, which may lead to problems in the national development of the United Kingdom, Alan Wilson is really inclined to the view of the Conservative Party. Anyway, the value created by the two industries of coal and steel cannot make up for government investment. the cost of.

It really needs a strong woman like Indira Gandhi and Mrs. Meir to show up, let these lazy workers go away, and don't waste the pound of Whitehall, it will be good for everyone.

Calculating the time, the Soviet Union should have begun to decline due to its excessive strength in the global offensive during the Thatcher period, and there is no need to worry about internal and external cooperation.

The dissatisfaction with these workers stems from the fact that in recent years, British coal and steel workers have increasingly regarded strikes as a routine way to fight against the government. The strikes have become more frequent and their appetites have grown.

In 1972, the coal workers went on strike and demanded a 21 percent wage increase, which was finally met by the government, but this was only half of what the coal workers demanded.

After the oil crisis broke out, the second strike followed like a shadow. Alan Wilson was able to refer to the historical trend to avoid the government's decision-making mistakes, but he was not a greedy person.

Compared with the 28% inflation in Britain in the 1970s in his mind, the inflation rate of only 7% or 8% in the past few years is far from the same figure in the United States. These British workers What's not to like?

Back home from get off work, Alan Wilson asked Australia if there was any good way to deal with the insatiable greed of the working class.

"There is no good way to satisfy the wishes of the workers." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, "The situation in Australia cannot be applied to the British mainland. The situation in the two countries is different."

"Indeed, Australia is a resource country, and it doesn't need too much military expenditure." Alan Wilson nodded, "But we can't, only a fool would believe that the UK can catch up with the standard of living on the basis of such a piece of land. The United States. Don’t we care about overseas interests? Once the Royal Navy can’t maintain it, the economic shocks from the colonies to the mainland will be transmitted wave after wave, and it will still lead Europe? Whether it can settle Italy is a problem, let alone France and Germany country."

"What about the two foundations you established?" Pamela Mountbatten joked with a smile, "It has expanded a lot in the past two years, and the funds of tens of billions of pounds are not difficult to meet the needs of workers."

"Why should I give my hard-earned money to some irrelevant workers? Just because they are British? They have made some contributions, but they will be reincarnated and happened to be born in the UK. If they were born in India or Bangladesh, I would donate They are a penny, and they are all grateful to me. Sometimes I think, even if I raise a dog, the happiness I get is greater than the contribution of these workers. At least the dog knows how to wag its tail when it is full. , can make me happy."

"This is completely different from your original idea. Ten years ago, you were very willing to improve the treatment of workers." Pamela Mountbatten frivolously recalled that Whitehall formulated many policies at that time.

"Coal and steel can create that piece of value. The country doesn't need to make money, but it can't always let the country build in it." Alan Wilson said that this is not his fault, but the insatiable greed of the workers.

Is it true that a piece of coal dug in England sells for more than a piece of coal in Germany? Coal has only those values, and the value that coal workers want now has exceeded the value of coal. What is so strange about this is that British coal is also coal when it is dug out, not gold.

There must always be goods that match the salary increase. Otherwise, the more the salary increases, the more inflation will be caused. This can be solved in a few years. A large country has sufficient human resources and can provide a large number of goods to deal with it. With the extra monthly salary, where should he go to find products now?

In this context, the Harold Wilson government will launch a three-stage personal tax plan in the next three years. A white paper titled Fighting Inflation last July announced the first phase, which seeks to limit pay rises to less than £6 a week for everyone earning up to £8,500 a year. The trade union federation accepted the proposal by a vote of nineteen to thirteen.

If Callahan comes to power, then the second phase of the plan will be completed by the Callahan government, which is also the first problem that the Callahan government faces.

"Honey, I know that you are doing it for the good of the country." Pamela Mountbatten comforted her with an inappropriate mouth. Is it just a problem caused by the salary increase of coal workers? Isn't there a group of half a million people under the leadership of Whitehall, such as lowly social institutions?

Civil servants just watch the coal workers raise their salaries, and then they still keep their original meager income? Not only do civil servants have to raise their salaries, but they also need to raise their salaries quickly. This is where the husband finds it difficult.

"Working groups always can't understand the country's difficulties, my dear, that's why they can't always make concessions to workers." Alan Wilson sighed, "I believe that the United States is also extremely disgusted with domestic labor unions now. My friend Reagan was one of them."

Alan Wilson also complained and complained, and after a verbal battle with Pamela Mountbatten, he was in a much better mood. The next day, I will find an opportunity to go to the golf course with Callaghan's chief political adviser, Bernard Donauu. Civil servants will definitely not ask partisan questions because of their neutral position, but if someone is willing to take the initiative to inform, it will be fine.

"Basically the same." Bernard Donau said confidently, "I don't want to say more, but the chance of being upset is not great. You can estimate the schedule after taking the stage. Do you have any suggestions for Jazz?"

"The most important thing to open up the situation is the diplomatic field. I suggest a trip to the East." Alan Wilson suggested, "This year, the United States is also in the general election, and the result will not be until November. During this period, the UK can do some diplomatic work to highlight the A little bit of diplomatic influence. It can also be regarded as opening up the situation for the future economic layout."

"That's really hard work." Bernard Donauu replied absent-mindedly, "Sir, you know, I've always been determined to play my role better."

"Well, the work of the Commonwealth Sports Association requires someone who works hard and works hard for it." Alan Wilson looked at Bernard Donau, "Bernard, if you don't mind?"

"What is the specific job?" Bernard Donauu didn't know much about sports, and he was still waiting for an answer from the supreme authority. "You know, I have my own ideas to a certain extent. There is still integrity in this world." This thing."

"Extreme integrity, and it is because of integrity that it is especially suitable for sports. It is very difficult work, promoting sports, anti-doping, and may have to run around the world for a long time, explaining some sports that may be misunderstood, such as Australian women's rugby league. Oh, mainly the concept of health and beauty. Rally races are very popular, and European countries have a huge audience~lightnovelpub.net~France wants to get a share, and the interest considerations are also very important."

Alan Wilson still added details. Regarding the women's rugby players, the astonishing pregnancy rate was all news from the sidewalk. He hadn't been to Australia a few times in total, and he had heard from the richest woman.

In short, Bernard Donauu readily accepted the job of promoting sports and was willing to shine in this field.

In the next few days, the greatest pleasure for Alan Wilson and the entire Whitehall is to watch the live broadcast of the party leader election. This entertainment project can be regarded as a change in the perennially hard-working Whitehall.

Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker and Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan emerged as the final candidates, in line with the predictions of most of their colleagues.

From a practical point of view, the Foreign Secretary expressed the development of the UK and the Commonwealth in the new era in the field of diplomacy he is good at, and pointed out that the prosperity of the UK cannot be separated from the common prosperity of the Commonwealth. When it comes to economic issues, Callaghan, as chancellor of the exchequer, obviously has more to say, proposing specific solutions for economic growth and inflation.

The final result was announced, and Callahan defeated his rivals and became the new leader of the Labor Party. After the resignation of Prime Minister Harold Wilson, he will take over the post of prime minister.

No. 10 Downing Street was very lively on this day. At the last moment of Harold Wilson's political career, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth appeared here to express her approval of Harold Wilson's tenure.

"Honey!" Pamela Mountbatten, who came with her, turned left and right, and found her husband in the corner, "I didn't expect me to come, are you startled?"

"Oh, why are you going back? Are you leaving with the queen?" Alan Wilson looked at his wife dotingly and shook his head, "Aren't you going to go with me?"
