v2 Chapter 1535: Support Thailand

As long as a nuclear war does not break out, any country naturally has a variety of means to gather enough cannon fodder, and hide in a safe rear to enjoy victory and fine wine.

Obviously, with the current strength of the UK, nuclear weapons are still not needed to deal with Argentina, not even the original time and space. more difficult.

Under the realistic conditions of competing with Japan in the traditional market, Allen Wilson was ready to launch a campaign to protect the Diaoyu Islands in Xiangjiang and provoke territorial disputes, but after full weighing, he finally decided to leave this move to Argentina.

Although the earth is very big, what if it is used in Japan and Argentina notices it? These are all inevitable things.

Of course, Alan Wilson hoped that the Falklands War would break out, but he was also worried about his own safety. As we all know, the higher the status, the more secure it is, so he must speed up his promotion.

With the experience of the Falklands War, there is reason to become a qualified general and even a marshal in the future.

Thinking this way does mean taking all the benefits and not taking the risks, but after all, he is his own son, and out of the mentality of a father, it is normal to do this.

Mrs. Thatcher said during the campaign that she wanted to improve the national defense capabilities of the British Empire. He only wanted to help the Prime Minister achieve his campaign goals and had no other intentions.

Mrs. Thatcher rubbed her tired cheeks before seeing the cabinet secretary came to her door. She discussed with the cabinet ministers about tax cuts, which was also part of Thatcher's reform.

Otherwise, the trickle-down effect summarized by the cabinet secretary is absolutely in line with this privatization reform. Mrs. Thatcher plans to lower the basic tax rate of personal income tax from 33% to 30%, and the maximum tax rate from 100%. The reduction from 83% to 60% is just the beginning. Once the support rate is stable, the tax rate will be further reduced.

"Sir, your summary of the trickle-down effect has very solid theoretical knowledge." Mrs. Thatcher immediately concealed her exhaustion when she saw Alan Wilson.

"Margaret, don't be too tired. The reform cannot be completed in a day." Alan Wilson expressed his concern from a private perspective, as if caring for ladies of the same status.

Mrs. Thatcher's face turned serious and said, "I haven't heard this kind of name for a long time. It's better to be more formal in working hours."

"Yes, Madam Prime Minister." Alan Wilson seemed to have obeyed the Prime Minister's order, but still avoided addressing Mrs. Thatcher.

Mrs. Thatcher directly explained the discussion on tax cuts just now. As a solution to the trade unions' demand for wage increases, lowering tax rates is also reducing the burden on citizens.

Seeing that the head of Whitehall thought so deeply, Mrs. Thatcher also smiled, "Your Sir also thinks so?"

"Of course." Alan Wilson answered decisively. Although he hadn't asked, he could almost guess the astronomical amount of taxes Pamela Mountbatten paid every year.

The tax cut bill is definitely a good thing for a successful person like Pamela Mountbatten, why should he oppose it. As for what to do if there is a revenue deficit in the tax cuts, isn’t there a decision before? Sell the state-owned enterprises, use the money from the sale of state-owned enterprises to increase fiscal revenue, trickle down effect, it’s all done in this way.

British state-owned enterprises are appointed and dismissed by the government as members of the board of directors and other important executives, determine corporate development strategies, and incorporate corporate income into the fiscal budget. There is no essential difference from state-owned enterprises under the planned economy.

Therefore, British state-owned enterprises also have the same ills as state-owned enterprises under the planned economy.

Corporate executives become government servants, and corporate profits and losses are not directly related to personal interests. Internal management is administrative, inefficient, innovative, and lacks market competitiveness, resulting in serious losses.

If there is no comparison, the British state-owned enterprises seem to be okay. The problem is that many companies have comparisons. Take the British Steel Company as an example. There is also a Mountbatten Steel Company in Malaya. The British Steel Corporation is such a virtue that no one thinks there is a problem.

"There is one thing, if sir can understand, it will make my work easier." Mrs. Thatcher obviously understood the old Rockefeller's words, ninety percent is not enough, I want one hundred percent.

"The prime minister can just say, if it's difficult, I'll try my best to do my job." Alan Wilson said in his heart that it would be too soon to kill civil servants now.

"The Price Management Committee should be abolished. In fact, prices should conform to the principles of a market economy. I don't know what Sir thinks." Mrs. Thatcher was straightforward. She knew that this was one of the many power departments in Whitehall, and Whitehall was full of people. Various committees are headed by this cabinet secretary.

Subconsciously, even Mrs. Thatcher herself didn't realize that she didn't want to be **** the man in front of her. Naturally, it was best to be able to do it well, talk and discuss well.

"If I say that my colleagues in the Price Committee are willing, I must be lying." Alan Wilson smiled wryly, then nodded, "I will try my best to persuade them not to show dissatisfaction."

Mrs. Thatcher nodded, finished her business, and then asked why she wanted to see herself. Alan Wilson elaborated in response to the prime minister's proposal to increase national defense forces and revitalize the United Kingdom, and mentioned the real threat that the United Kingdom is facing to some extent. This real threat naturally refers to Vietnam.

After the reunification of Vietnam, it has successively controlled Laos and Cambodia, and has become a political entity with an area of ​​nearly 800,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 60 million.

You must know that the land currently controlled by Vietnam has almost no rotten land. It is not like the tundra in the cold zone countries, nor is it like the deserts in the Middle East and North Africa. These are all lands with development value.

The population of more than 60 million is more than that of any European country. If the Federal Republic of Germany hadn't been tricked by Alan Wilson, the population might be more than that of Vietnam.

However, the citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany are several million fewer than in history, which leads to the fact that if Vietnam is in Europe, it will become the largest political entity besides the Soviet Union.

"According to the domino theory, once Vietnam's attack cannot be stopped, the whole of Southeast Asia will be in danger, and of course Malaya will also be in danger. Now the United States has been frightened by the Vietnamese. Not only is it turning a blind eye to the situation in Southeast Asia, even in Thailand Military bases are evacuated."

Alan Wilson expounded on Vietnam's destruction of the entire Southeast Asian pattern. You must know that half of Britain's life is in Malaya. This is not counting the original Dutch Kalimantan and the current Republic of Kalimantan.

After the Netherlands withdrew from Southeast Asia, the newly independent Republic of Kalimantan also had nearly 200,000 Dutch immigrants. With the welcome of these Dutch immigrants, the United Kingdom exerted influence on the Republic of Kalimantan by taking advantage of Malaya’s economic advantages. This is a pro-British country.

Regardless of whether the Republic of Kalimantan can do it or not, regardless of the consequences of this republic, the Republic of Kalimantan will face the current situation in Thailand, and the United States will directly withdraw the military base established in Thailand during the Vietnam War .

Indonesians can think that Kalimantan is part of their country. Vietnam has to find an excuse to infiltrate Thailand. Indonesia doesn’t even need to find an excuse. How dare Britain ignore this country? To protect the Republic of Kalimantan is to protect Malaya.

Once Vietnam kills Thailand, Malaya will lose its buffer country in the north. By then, it will not be flanked by Vietnam and Indonesia, two pro-Soviet countries?

Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that Thailand should not be underestimated and eventually blocked Vietnam in the military conflict, others did not know, including Mrs. Thatcher, the Prime Minister. After listening to the analysis of the security situation around Malaya, he also felt that Can't help but get nervous.

"Supporting Thailand is also defending the interests of the United Kingdom. Now the United States has obviously lost confidence in military operations. It is not that we have expressed our concerns, but it seems that we can only rely on ourselves." Alan Wilson saw the female prime minister. Look, almost another one turned his back on all living beings.

But there are still ways, and Britain is not without its own advantages~lightnovelpub.net~ After the demise of South Vietnam, millions of refugees escaped and were accepted by Malaya. Public opinion is definitely not a problem.

Moreover, the UK does have a batch of surplus military equipment that can be used to arm Thailand, that is, it has entered the production level and is ready to sell tank orders to Iran. If Thailand is willing to pay a suitable price to buy them, it can be negotiated, and there is nothing that cannot be negotiated.

Supporting Thailand is enough to defend Britain's interests in Southeast Asia and enhance Britain's influence in world affairs when the United States is frightened. A batch of military orders can also be added to generate income at some level. "We want to form a group of advisory groups composed of army officers and send them to Thailand to let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

In the end is the goal of Alan Wilson. It is easy for Emperor Shangao to raise the level of Hao Daer, but this is not to harm the country, but a win-win situation at the personal level and the national level.

Britain's move to support Thailand is indeed good for the United Kingdom at a time when the United States is declining from Southeast Asia.

To smash the expansion of Soviet power in Southeast Asia, Britain's attitude will be a key step in reversing the trend of the Cold War.

The security issue in Malaya should not allow Mrs. Thatcher to raise objections, "Sir, you can communicate with the Thai government, and the government fully supports your actions."

"The Prime Minister's attitude of firmly defending the interests of the British Empire is really moving." Alan Wilson seemed very moved. Now that the Prime Minister has expressed his position, he must get in touch with Thailand immediately.

Although Britain cut off the isthmus land in southern Thailand, this is not a big deal compared to the threat of Vietnam.

Although land cession will make Thais dissatisfied, it is not a fatal problem. If the Vietnamese call, at least for the Thai royal family, it will be a catastrophe, no matter how many or how little, at least the Thai king understands it.
