v2 Chapter 1604: grieving prime minister

Newfoundland is the starting point for Alan Wilson to truly become the No. 1 figure. He must not treat this royal territory unfairly. He upholds the selfless heart of the public and takes the local residents with him every time he makes a decision.

Relying on the long-term vision, it has been counted as a lot of wins and losses in the financial industry for many years, which has given back the trust of the residents of the territory.

This time, he is also going to take the residents of the royal domain to make a fortune after the Japanese bubble blows. Obviously, the oil resources just discovered can take Newfoundland to a higher level. Therefore, some of the profits brought by the gaming industry are divided, and the strength of the rebound may be smaller.

Britain first issued lottery tickets during the Longqing period, in 1569, but in 1826, Britain banned lottery tickets because of the idea of ​​breeding laziness and getting something for nothing.

At present, the United Kingdom is still in a state of banning lottery tickets, and some lottery players follow the Commonwealth lottery issued by Newfoundland.

Because the United States has also banned lotteries for a long time, Newfoundland, which started 20 years earlier, has the upper hand and actually runs the world's largest lottery agency. However, after the United States lifted the ban on the lottery, it has also developed rapidly, and Newfoundland's lottery revenue has also been eroded.

Alan Wilson, on the grounds that the United States has lifted the ban first, persuaded the United Kingdom to lift the ban on lottery tickets and issue the National Welfare Lottery in the form of a bill as a source of public funds. In more important places, such as military spending.

Mrs Thatcher also thought it was a good idea, and couldn't help but say, "You are really kind to the people of Newfoundland. Such a rich place has found so much money for them."

"When I took office, Newfoundland was heavily in debt, and Prime Minister Attlee wanted to quickly merge Newfoundland with Canada. As the local chief executive, I was firmly opposed to it. In terms of Canada's geographical location, it must be greatly influenced by the United States. It would be better for the United Kingdom to hold Newfoundland in its hands. With a sparse population and rich resources, it is short-sighted to let it become independent due to temporary difficulties.”

The British Empire has always been known for its spirit of pragmatism, but Alan Wilson told the truth that he couldn't understand such a spirit of pragmatism, and he didn't have to change to a country that was too nationalistic, instead of France, Newfoundland wanted to be independent and France had to try to keep it as much as possible. , not to mention that Newfoundland did not want independence at all.

"It seems that when you left office, the local residents must have expressed their gratitude to you." Mrs Thatcher looked at the high-spirited cabinet secretary in front of her and seemed to recall the past.

"Of course, I have the highest approval rating for the previous governors, and they don't want me to go."

Alan Wilson pinched his hands around his waist and said coaxingly, "But as a person, I always flaunt my patriotism and hope to benefit society on a larger scale, but before I left, Ha and the first parliament passed the civic management Act to prevent suspicious allies from infiltrating Newfoundland."

Suspicious ally? Mrs. Thatcher knew that this was the surface and secret of the cabinet secretary, and she was talking about Americans. "It seems that you can't change your defense against the United States."

"How much have you seen about the attitude of the United States toward the United Kingdom? You were the chairman of the Conservative Party on campus at that time, and I have been in contact with Americans for many years." Alan Wilson did not hide, "Just came with a coup in Grenada. Said that if the prime minister really refused to violate international law, the United States would definitely not refuse, and would definitely send troops to overthrow the regime in Grenada.”

"That's the Commonwealth of Nations." Mrs Thatcher didn't care that her eyes had not fully recovered, and stood up directly, "This is a humiliation to Britain."

"Do you think that the United States has humiliated the United Kingdom less over the years? To be honest, there is a lot more. Otherwise, why did the government not mention the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States after the war? It's not too much loss, I said earlier. The French were right to drive the American troops out of the country."

Alan Wilson sneered, "Otherwise, Cole firmly opposed the deployment of Pershing missiles, and eventually squeezed out a smile to change his attitude. Similar things happen from time to time. When the United States suppressed German resistance, there was no country where the United States stationed troops. Be vigilant."

Alan Wilson said that the Iron Lady is still young, what about the UK's opposition to using energy? He concluded that the United States will definitely send troops this time, and it has the purpose of reducing Britain's face.

"I don't believe that Reagan really did this in disregard of the British opposition." Mrs Thatcher stood up directly and expressed her desire to communicate with Washington about the matter.

"America is America's America. The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is just a fever. It's all based on strength. It's the way it is now. If the United Kingdom cuts the Royal Navy, I don't know what will happen."

Alan Wilson shook his head as if begging. The Prime Minister can do whatever he wants, but it's nothing more than being rejected or deceived.

However, there are still some gains. Since the Prime Minister does not object, then a national lottery law can be formulated to prepare for the lifting of the lottery ban. The law is ready-made. Newfoundland has been running the gaming industry for many years. It can be used by changing it.

When I got home, Pamela Mountbatten was watching cartoons with her legs in her arms. It was still a Japanese cartoon. Alan Wilson thought that it was indeed the peak era of Japanese comics.

The supreme authority can help everything else, but there is no superfluous talent on this. Fortunately, Japan's cultural output is not worth its economic strength, and it is not worth making a fuss.

"Japanese anime is completely different from the American one." Pamela Mountbatten did not forget to chat with her husband, "Have you seen the Smurfs made in the United States? The last time I watched it was in Australia."

"I've seen it!" It was just a previous life, and Alan Wilson said directly, "Japanese monster films are quite interesting, and animation is better in the United States, but then again, few countries regard animation as an important industry. Looking at the strength of the United States, Japan pays more attention."

"I remember that you introduced a batch of Chinese animations. It seems that there has been no action in this area in recent years." Pamela Mountbatten still remembers that her husband was very concerned about this matter.

"Uh, the output is not good." Alan Wilson answered bluntly. Shanghai Film's cartoons are all good cartoons, but there are only a few of them a year.

Quietly accompanied his wife to watch the anime, and the two went upstairs together. Pamela Mountbatten also asked, "It seems that I haven't heard of any famous Japanese movies in recent years."

"I said earlier that Japanese culture has no influence." Alan Wilson replied, and it can't be said that Japan's cultural export is not good, but it is very powerful? It is a little more powerful than a big country.

This is still based on absolute economic advantages. Compared with the same period, Japan is not as powerful as its East Asian neighbors.

At this time, Japanese live-action movies are going downhill, and then Japanese dramas, Japanese music and Japanese comics will have to wait for a while longer.

In the 21st century, who is the world's animation third world? Many people may not believe that there is a certain big country, and the remaining two are the United States and Japan, but if we want to compare the Cold War, the two people in the anime are equivalent to the United States and the Soviet Union, and the third big country is the United States and the Soviet Union. compared with other countries.

The family is now an old couple. The eldest daughter took Carol to Newfoundland, the eldest son is serving, and the younger son represents Pamela Mountbatten, and has a solid relationship with the feudal lords in the Middle East.

"How can you use Arnold like a machine?" Pamela Mountbatten still felt sorry for her children, and was dissatisfied with her husband's use, especially against her young son.

"It's only been a year, and I'm going to work next year." Alan Wilson put on his pajamas and went under the quilt. "Who will protect you and your aristocratic fans when I retire? It's still a reliable person."

The United Kingdom finally decided to avoid the coup in Grenada. On the night that Britain decided not to troop, Mrs Thatcher, who was attending the feast, received a copy of the order issued by US President Ronald Reagan to send troops to Grenada.

As Alan Wilson, who has already slept with the richest woman in his arms, said, the United States will definitely send troops from its position of strength and trample on the leadership of the United Kingdom over the British Commonwealth.

This is too much, it just doesn't make sense! The United States sent troops to intervene in the internal affairs of the member states of the Commonwealth of Nations without the consent of the United Kingdom or even a greeting, which is undoubtedly an insult to the United Kingdom and contempt for the Thatcher government.

Angrily, Prime Minister Thatcher immediately rushed back to the Prime Minister's Office, used the hotline microphone directly connected to the White House, and aggressively questioned President Reagan. It also reminded President Reagan that "Grenada is a Commonwealth country, and the United States has no right to interfere in the affairs of this country."

In the evening, Prime Minister Thatcher called and faxed the hotline to President Reagan again, asking the other party to cancel this military operation that humiliated Britain's dignity until the early hours of the morning. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

The American intervention force had already set off, and by the time Alan Wilson came to work, No. 10 Downing Street was already filled with Thatcher's grievances.

"I just said that the Americans will not give face." Alan Wilson pouted. It is not necessarily that Mrs. Thatcher defends the Commonwealth. Because of the South African issue, this female prime minister does not value the interests of the Commonwealth.

Mrs Thatcher didn't feel slapped in the face because of the Commonwealth. The reason she was angry was because Reagan didn't take her decision seriously and felt deeply hurt.

Alan Wilson, who was holding the lottery issuance plan, soon saw Mrs. Thatcher who looked resentful. The Prime Minister must be very uncomfortable. He was deeply hurt by Reagan's actions and could only open his mouth and said, "You can only use Public opinion has ridiculed the United States, and there is no other way. It is said that the Americans finally found the feeling of world hegemony in Grenada, which ranks among the bottom ten in the world. After the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the leader of the free world found The right opponent."

Let’s take this as a way to downplay the significance of the U.S. sending troops this time as much as possible. Of course, diplomatic criticism is still necessary. Without any extra decoration, it is enough to compare the population area of ​​the United States with that of Grenada.
