British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1604: sad prime minister

Newfoundland is the starting point for Alan Wilson to truly become the No. 1 man. He must not treat this royal territory badly, and he will always bring the local residents with him every time he makes a decision.

Thanks to its long-term vision, it has won more than lost in the financial industry over the years, giving back the trust of the residents of the territory.

This time, he is also planning to take the residents of the royal territory to make a fortune after the Japanese bubble blows. Obviously, the newly discovered oil resources can bring Newfoundland to a higher level. Therefore, some of the profits brought by the gaming industry will be divided, and the rebound may be even smaller.

The first lottery in the UK was issued during the Longqing period, that is, in 1569, but in 1826, the UK banned the lottery with the idea of ​​breeding laziness and getting something for nothing.

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

Because the United States has banned lotteries for a long time, Newfoundland, which started 20 years earlier, took the lead and actually runs the world's largest lottery organization. However, after the lifting of the lottery ban in the United States, it is also developing rapidly, and Newfoundland's lottery revenue is also being eroded.

Alan Wilson persuaded the United Kingdom to lift the lottery ban on the grounds that the United States had lifted the ban first, and issued a national welfare lottery in the form of a bill as a source of public fundraising. This will also save the British government’s funding burden, and the British government’s funding can be used In more important places, such as military spending.

Mrs. Thatcher also thought it was a good idea, so she couldn't help saying, "You are really kind to the residents of Newfoundland. In such a wealthy place, you have found so many sources of income for them."

"When I took office, Newfoundland was heavily in debt, and Prime Minister Attlee wanted to let Newfoundland merge with Canada as soon as possible. As the local administrator, I firmly opposed it. In terms of Canada's geographical location, it must be greatly influenced by the United States. It is better for the UK to hold Newfoundland in its hands. With a small population and rich resources, it is a short-sighted behavior to make it 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 this spirit of being too practical, and he didn’t need to change to a country that was too nationalistic, but France. If Newfoundland wanted to be independent from France, it had to try to retain it , not to mention that Newfoundland didn't want to be independent 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 think of the past.

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

Alan Wilson pinched his waist with both hands, and said coquettishly, "But I always flaunt my patriotism and hope to benefit the society on a larger scale, but before I left, Ha and the first parliament passed the citizen management Act, to prevent suspicious allies in the surrounding area from infiltrating Newfoundland."

Suspicious ally? Mrs. Thatcher knew that this was a superficial and covert statement of the cabinet secretary, and she was talking about Americans, "Your defense against the United States seems to be irreversible."

"How much have you seen the attitude of the United States towards the United Kingdom? You were the chairman of the Conservative Party on campus at that time, but I have been in contact with Americans for many years." Alan Wilson did not hide it, "Just take a coup in Grenada. He said that if the prime minister really refuses to violate international law, the United States will definitely not refuse, and will definitely send troops to overthrow the regime in Grenada by force."

"That's a country of the Commonwealth of Nations." Mrs. Thatcher stood up, regardless of her eyesight not fully recovering. "This is a shame to Britain."

"Do you think the United States has humiliated Britain less over the years? To be honest, there are many. Otherwise, why didn't the later government mention the special relationship between Britain and the United States that they cared about after the war? It's not that they have suffered too much, I said earlier The French were right to drive out the American garrison in the country."

Alan Wilson sneered, "Otherwise Cole firmly opposes the deployment of Pershing missiles, and in the end he will squeeze out a smile and change his attitude. Things like this will happen from time to time. When the United States suppressed Germany's 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 Britain's opposition to using energy? He concluded that the United States will definitely send troops this time, which itself has the purpose of reducing Britain's face.

"I don't believe that Reagan really did this in spite of Britain's opposition." Mrs. Thatcher stood up directly, expressing that she would communicate with Washington on this matter.

"The Americas belong to the Americans. The special relationship between Britain and the United States is nothing more than a hot issue. It's all based on the status of strength. It's like this now. If Britain reduces the Royal Navy, I don't know what will happen."

Alan Wilson shook his head as if asking for permission. The Prime Minister could do whatever he wanted, but he was rejected or deceived.

But there are still some gains. Since the Prime Minister does not object, then the national lottery law can be enacted to prepare for the lifting of the lottery ban. The bill is ready-made. Newfoundland has been operating the gaming industry for many years. They are also British immigrants and their religion is the Anglican Church. Just change it and it will work.

When I got home, Pamela Mountbatten was watching cartoons with her legs crossed, which were still Japanese cartoons. Alan Wilson thought that this is indeed the peak era of Japanese manga.

Supreme authority can help with everything else, but there is no superfluous talent here. Fortunately, Japan's cultural output is not as good as its economic strength, so it is not worth making a fuss about.

"Japanese anime is completely different from American anime." Pamela Mountbatten still forgot to chat with her husband, "Have you seen the American-made Smurfs? The last time I watched it was in Australia."

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

"I remember that you introduced a batch of Chinese animation, and it seems that you have not made any moves in this area in recent years." Pamela Mountbatten still remembers that her husband was very concerned about this matter.

"Uh, the output is not enough." Alan Wilson replied very straightforwardly. The cartoons of Shanghai Film Group are all good cartoons, but there are only a few in 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 little influence." Alan Wilson replied. It cannot be said that Japan's cultural output is not good, but it is very powerful? It is a little bit stronger than a certain 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 moment, Japanese live-action movies are on the decline, and then there are Japanese dramas, Japanese music, and Japanese comics, and they can last for a while.

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

There are only two old people in this family. The eldest daughter took Carol to Newfoundland, the eldest son is serving in the military, and the youngest son represents Pamela Mountbatten, and has a stable relationship with the feudal lords in the Middle East.

"Why do you use Arnold like a machine." Pamela Mountbatten still loves her children, and is dissatisfied with her husband's use, especially the crazy output to her youngest son.

"It's only been one year, and I'm going to start working next year." Alan Wilson put on his pajamas and got under the covers. "Who will protect you and your noble fans after I retire? I still need someone who is reliable."

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

As Alan Wilson, who is already sleeping with the richest woman in his arms, said, the United States will definitely send troops from a position of strength, and step on the British leadership of the Commonwealth.

This is really too much, it is simply unreasonable! The United States sent troops to intervene in the internal affairs of the members of the Commonwealth of Great Britain without the consent of the United Kingdom or even a greeting. This is undoubtedly an insult to the United Kingdom and contempt for the Thatcher government.

In a fit of anger, Prime Minister Thatcher immediately rushed back to the Prime Minister's Office, took the hotline microphone directly to the White House, and aggressively questioned President Reagan. She used the strongest language to demand that the US side cancel the action. He also reminded President Reagan: "Grenada is a country of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the United States has no right to interfere in the affairs of this country."

In the evening, Prime Minister Thatcher called the hotline and sent faxes to President Reagan, asking him to cancel this military operation that insulted the dignity of the United Kingdom, and the trouble continued until the early morning.

The US intervention army has already set off~lightnovelpub.net~ When Alan Wilson came to work, No. 10 Downing Street was already filled with Thatcher's resentment.

"I just said that the Americans won't save face." Alan Wilson curled his lips. Mrs. Thatcher may not be more protective of the Commonwealth. Because of the South African issue, this female prime minister does not value the interests of the Commonwealth.

Mrs. Thatcher would not feel slapped in the face because of the Commonwealth issue. The reason for her anger was that Reagan did not take her decision seriously and felt deeply hurt.

Alan Wilson, who was holding the lottery plan, soon saw Mrs. Thatcher, who looked like a resentful woman. The Prime Minister must have been very uncomfortable. He was deeply hurt by Reagan's actions, so he could only say, "I can only use Public opinion has ridiculed the United States, and there is no other way. It is said that the Americans have finally found the feeling of world hegemony in Grenada, which ranks in the bottom ten in the world. After the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the leader of the free world has found A suitable opponent."

From this, let’s downplay the significance of the U.S. troop dispatch this time as much as possible. Of course, diplomatic criticism is still necessary. There is no need to embellish it. Just compare the population area of ​​the U.S. with Grenada.
