British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1564: panic society

The funds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are certainly useful, but they have to be divided into what they are. Usually, they do not involve national issues, and that is not harmful, but when it comes to critical moments, money is useless.

The world is very realistic. Cultural hegemony and public opinion hegemony ultimately require military support. This is precisely what Japan lacked after its defeat. It is true that from an economic point of view, Japan’s defeat directly gave the Americans a blow in exchange for It has never been a good day since the Japanese archipelago was inhabited by humans.

However, military autonomy is not in our hands. Even if there is a good life for a while, in the end, the boundless water cannot last long. Japan, a country deliberately let go by the United States, has now come to repay the debt of the United States.

"It is impossible for a country stationed by the United States to have the ability to defy the will of the United States. From this point of view, General de Gaulle is very admirable. I still remember that the French followed the British steps before the war. Looking at France now, just Know how great General de Gaulle was."

Alan Wilson used France as a comparison in front of the Prime Minister, "Behind every dollar issued, there is the shadow of American soldiers. In fact, the same is true for Britain, so in the past two decades, I have been Using various methods to maintain Britain's military strength that cannot be underestimated."

Mrs. Thatcher listened to the bragging of the man in front of her. She didn't agree with all the rhetoric, but she admitted that most of the rhetoric was reasonable, and suddenly blurted out, "Sir, a representative of the pro-American faction? It doesn't seem to be so convincing."

"As a British person, what I need to defend is the national interest. How can I believe the nonsense of common values? It is to defend the special relationship between Britain and the United States on the basis of defending British interests."

Alan Wilson pointed out that the common values ​​were frequently mentioned by Mrs. Thatcher. The two had completely different understandings of the special relationship between Britain and the United States. When the enemy of life and death appeared, the United Kingdom should indeed stand on the side of the United States.

But two countries are two countries, and Alan Wilson is not of the Stars and Stripes. The upper class in the United States was already stable before World War II. Why would he want to squeeze in? He may not be able to squeeze in.

Isn't it much easier to squeeze into Australia, the success rate is still high, and there is an imperial legacy like Malaya that can be leveraged.

"Sir's explanation is really eye-opening. Sir's wife is half-Australian." Mrs. Thatcher sneered. ? This is to resolutely defend the United Kingdom, is it to defend the United Kingdom if it is close to the United States?

"Because Britain is stronger than Australia, the explanation is clear enough, right? Carole also lives in Australia now." Alan Wilson pointed out the double standard of the female prime minister.

Without further ado, what does Mrs Thatcher think of the arms sale to the Ark Royal? Alan Wilson knew that the Soviet Union and Iran were neighboring countries, and they could replenish their armaments through the Caspian Sea route.

If the Iran-Iraq War starts, even if the Kingdom of Iraq sells both Eagle-class aircraft carrier battle groups, it will not be able to cut off Iran's foreign aid.

From this point, we can see how terrifying a country with such a large area as the Soviet Union was when it was strong, and it could easily radiate its influence to the entire Eurasian continent.

However, it is possible to cut off the arms sales of a certain big country. The successful arms sale of the Ark Royal can't even weaken Iran's shipping. It also plays a big role in how far the ship goes around.

Mrs. Thatcher nodded, expressing her agreement in principle to sell strategic weapons such as heavy aircraft carriers to Iraq. Alan Wilson replied easily, "Now we will see if the United States will object. If the United States objects, we need to let the Kingdom of Iraq know. America is opposing it."

The corner of Mrs. Thatcher's mouth twitched. Through this incident, she understood thoroughly how the cabinet secretary defended the special relationship between Britain and the United States. When there is nothing to do, they talk about the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. When there is something to do, any relationship is more important than the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

"Otherwise? Just like you did in Washington, use the Kingdom of Iraq, a pro-British country, to vent your anger on the American hostages." Alan Wilson snorted softly, "Even Reagan was good-looking when he was an actor, and he is old now. Hurry up." You can sacrifice Iraq with one kiss, but you can't sell Britain with one kiss?"

"That's enough, sir." Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help but burst into flames when she heard the other party's words getting more and more outrageous. Didn't she just hug her and point her out endlessly.

Just about to explain the situation at the time, Alan Wilson had already walked away, leaving the prime minister's office to the prime minister. Mrs. Thatcher could only sulk at the empty office.

The news about a mysterious disease in the United States, with a long incubation period and no cure, appeared in London, the heart of the British Empire. It is unbearable. According to the usual practice, the government should refute the rumors, but it didn’t. Such remarks spread rapidly, causing panic among the people.

In the news, medical experts from the Ministry of Health finally appeared in front of the public, mainly mentioning two points, "Homosexuality is one of the main routes of transmission, and the second is to keep a proper distance from American spouses, which can prevent the spread of this disease in a short time to England."

"Is there really such a terrible disease?" Pamela Mountbatten, who was watching TV with her husband, was shocked and looked at her silent husband.

"Uh, the description is correct. It is indeed a terrible disease." Alan Wilson opened his mouth. He can pretend to be relaxed about other things, but if he dares to say that AIDS is not terrible, his conscience will really make it difficult. "In the next period of time, the biggest job of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be to explain to the United States that we don't want to do this, but we just have to do it."

Europe is the main destination for American citizens to go abroad. Americans are also willing to go to socially developed places, go to Africa for adventure, and there are people who go to Latin America and Southeast Asia to prostitute, but certainly not the majority.

The rumors refuted by experts from the Ministry of Health this time not only did not help to reduce the panic in the British society, but confirmed that such a disease did break out in the United States, which immediately caused an uproar in the British society, and it was accompanied by some homosexual rights. The organization demanded an apology from the Ministry of Health.

"These gays don't even have brains?" Alan Wilson, who came to work in Whitehall, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the unconfirmed news from the Permanent Undersecretary of the Home Office that the parade was abused and beaten by a large number of people, "Brest, in principle We want to protect minorities, and while we understand the panic of citizens at large, we need to be citizens with a gesture of persuasion and not use violence to solve problems."

Brest looked at the supreme authority eagerly. In principle, he would not use violence to solve the problem. So it is theoretically possible to do so? "I see, Secretary-General."

This was followed by news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As Alan Wilson had predicted, the United States was dissatisfied with such a large-scale response from the United Kingdom. It is hoped that the United Kingdom will not make alarmist responses.

"We are in a very difficult situation now. If we suppress public opinion now, no one can afford the price once the spread of the disease cannot be controlled." Alan Wilson replied directly after listening to Wick's report, "In this way, the most urgent task now is to cure this mysterious disease, even if there is only one sample that is cured, it is enough to inform the foreign minister to answer this way."

Can AIDS be cured? Even if there is only one case, in the past few decades, it is true that there are beings with extraordinary talents who healed themselves, but that is the best among tens of millions of cases, and there must be no such thing at this time.

Alan Wilson's answer seems to be lenient. After all, it is the world's largest technological power, so it can't cure an infectious disease? After all, the UK only needs one example to explain the panic of its citizens.

But the supreme authority is like a mirror, and there is really no example in the United States. This seemingly very lenient requirement cannot be overcome even if the city on the top of the hill tries its best to eat shit.

"Let the Deputy Secretary-General come here." In the face of the sudden storm~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson once again devoted himself to his work, and this job should be handed over to the former ambassador to the United States and the current cabinet Deputy Secretary-General Armstrong, as we all know, the Deputy Secretary-General has served as the ambassador to the United States for a long time, and has always been a **** in the special relationship between Britain and the United States. He is most suitable to appease the restless mood of British society.

He believes that the Deputy Secretary-General has the ability and determination to appease the people in this round of storms and at the same time defend the special relationship between Britain and the United States. He can predict Armstrong's work process now, and he will need to go there in about a week to explain Bai The ministry did not order the silence of health ministry officials who previously acknowledged the existence of the contagion.

The efficient, clean and transparent British government will never do such a thing, and the whistleblowers who were brave in front of citizens before will never be retaliated against.

The Rhodesian royal territory announced on this day that American citizens are not welcome to enter the country. American citizens who come to the Rhodesian royal territory must have a health report and wait for a reply from Rhodesia before they can set foot on the royal territory. land.

"Rhodsia has made us very embarrassed." Mrs. Thatcher complained angrily. "Whatever they want to do, they can't understand the difficulties of Britain."

"Well, Prime Minister, the Queen is respected by the royal territory. You, the prime minister of the ruling party, really cannot interfere with any decisions made by Rhodesia." Alan Wilson calmly reminded that this was stated in the agreement signed when it was transformed into a royal territory. Yes, in black and white, the British government cannot interfere.

Whitehall will naturally do the job of appeasing the people. Alan Wilson emphasized that as long as citizens restrain their panic, they can help the country a lot, and the difficulties faced by the UK will be reduced. After all, it is not difficult to strengthen control over immigration. , There are no US troops stationed in the UK.
