British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1609: 1 game of chess

Looking at the old Chernenko, Mrs. Thatcher knew that if she wanted to deal with the Soviet Union for a long time, she might have to take a look at who is the next generation of Soviet leaders. Look and see, some trash with a map on his head came into view.

After Alan Wilson completed his investigation, he appeared in front of Mrs. Thatcher and Bush Sr. with ice cream, which made the two British and American leaders present confused.

"Sir, this is an official visit." Mrs. Thatcher glanced at the flexible tongue of the cabinet secretary, and said solemnly.

"Isn't this a serious investigation?" Alan Wilson held up an ice cream and replied solemnly, "The purpose of this visit is only to find the weakness of the Soviet Union."

"Then I don't know what weakness the Sir discovered in the Soviet Union." Bush joked. The head of the British civil service is really an interesting person.

"Ice cream in the Soviet Union only has one flavor, and that's a big bonus." Alan Wilson, being a frugal person, still didn't waste the ice cream he bought in exchange for rubles, "There are so few choices, it may be planned to do so economically It can greatly save tedious work, but it makes the public have no choice. Although adding various additives to ice cream is not a clever way, but from the perspective of deception, the perception is completely different. Also, ice cream is too cheap .”

"I don't know what the real exchange rate of the ruble is now. Is it cheaper to convert it into US dollars or ice cream made in the United States, but I intuitively feel that it is cheaper than British products. As a cold country, the Soviet Union kept food costs so low. a good idea."

Not only was Mrs. Thatcher not persuaded, but she even felt that the cabinet secretary in front of her was black Britain. Does that mean that the price of goods in Britain is too high?

This meaning is definitely there, but Alan Wilson's main purpose is to seek truth from facts and unilaterally explain his perception. If the Prime Minister feels that he is blackmailing her, why not reflect on it? Is there a mistake in governance in some respects?

Mrs. Thatcher still told Bush about her harvest from a macro perspective, "I think that among the current high-level Soviet Union, the two younger committee members will be the future leaders of the Soviet Union."

Just as Bush Sr. was about to say something, Alan Wilson said first, "This is the same as Mr. Bush running for president in the future. It is a very probable thing, and it is also a big gain?"

"Sir, it's hard to say what will happen in the future." It's not that Bush Sr. didn't mean it, but he is the vice president now, and with President Reagan's support rate still so high, he can't say he has this idea.

Later, when there were only two people left, Alan Wilson asked who Mrs. Thatcher was talking about. Hearing that it was the top of the map, the contempt in his eyes flashed away but he did not speak.

In fact, until the moment when the Soviet Union collapsed, the free world, as an enemy for decades, could not believe that there were such fools in this world. In a few years, the situation took a turn for the worse. Although the British Empire collapsed completely after the war, it took more than 20 years of struggle before it raised its hands and surrendered in the 1970s.

"What are you thinking? Do you know that young committee member?" Mrs. Thatcher asked curiously when she saw that Alan Wilson was silent.

"I don't know, ask Chernenko if he knows the mayor of Birmingham?" Alan Wilson paused, then changed the subject, "It's impossible for me to know the past presidents of the Conservative Party on campus, right?"

"You?" Mrs. Thatcher was in a hurry, but she didn't have any specific actions. Alan Wilson glanced over coldly, making the famous Iron Lady stunned.

Wushang put his hands in his pockets, thought for a moment, and left a shadow on the female prime minister, "Currently, some economists believe that the Soviet Union has encountered temporary difficulties, and we also have temporary difficulties. It depends on who we overcome first. Temporary difficulties can take the lead in the next confrontation."

"I will definitely defeat the trade unions and rejuvenate Britain's economic vitality." Mrs Thatcher's tone did not seem to be giving orders, but seemed to convince the man in front of her to believe in herself.

"There is a size gap between Britain and the US and the Soviet Union, and this gap cannot be made up under normal circumstances."

Alan Wilson made a statement in a neutral tone, unless the result of the surrender of the Soviet Union is that the United States remains on the side and surrenders to the United Kingdom alone, and the United Kingdom integrates the physical power of the Soviet Union?

Thinking of this, Alan Wilson's eyes flashed with thought, who said it couldn't be done? He and the son of the cultural tsar are now the head of the General Administration.

Maybe it can play a key role at critical moments. The emperor is just a small, literal anti-revolutionary worker at this time, and his eldest son is already considered a senior security cadre.

Compared with his elder brother, what kind of young man is the head of the map who is already in his early fifties? The real young men are still the sons of the cultural tsars. Can't the son of the tsar be the leader? Who said no?

After attending Andropov's funeral, Mrs. Thatcher apparently lost her temper because of the cold look from the cabinet secretary, and she did not speak on the return flight.

"I'm not Mr. Thatcher. In principle, I shouldn't bear the cold violence of a woman." Alan Wilson accused, "As a prime minister, you are very unprofessional."

"You never regarded me as a prime minister, you don't respect me." Mrs. Thatcher complained endlessly, "You also arranged for my son Mark to participate in the arms sales with Saudi Arabia."

"What's wrong? Doesn't a man need wealth to prove his excellence? I treat him like my own son. Except for my two sons, I have never been so kind to the crown prince." Allen Wilson pointedly Opening the mouth, with the same yin and yang, "If it weren't for your indifferent attitude towards me, the result between us would not have come to this day."

Is it my fault? Mrs. Thatcher looked angry, don't you have no responsibility at all until today? Obviously it can happen naturally, but he insists on getting in the car first, and there is no sincerity afterwards.

Just as an old story was about to be revealed to the world, the control tower at London International Airport made the two mainstays of the United Kingdom, the pillars of the country, brake at a critical point, and did not continue to argue about who should take the initiative to bow their heads.

After getting off the plane, Alan Wilson took the initiative to say, "I want to talk to the coal union. It would be great if the discussion of the strike can be resolved, and the strike should be invisible, without a well-known confrontation. But the coal union If the unions don’t appreciate it, it’s no wonder we’re there.”

"Of course that would be the best." Mrs. Thatcher rarely said with such a feminine charm. "In any case, a strike is a harm to the country. If there is really no way, we must let the coal union understand from the beginning. It is absolutely impossible to win."

To be honest, the purpose of the government is not to preserve the almost unprofitable mining industry, coal is just a representative of it.

It has also made full preparations for this, and coupled with the cooperation with Saudi Arabia on energy, the possibility of victory for the coal union is almost zero. It has lost to Mrs. Thatcher in history, and it is even less likely to win the husband-and-wife shop now.

According to a reliable source from MI5 lurking in the headquarters of the coal union, the coal union is expected to start a strike in March. After Alan Wilson returned to London, he began to contact the coal union to express goodwill on behalf of the government for the last time. A strike that starts playing cards cannot be stopped, and the government can also use it to show that it has done its best.

The leader of the coal mining union, Arthur Scargill, and the cabinet secretary, Alan Wilson, discussed the pros and cons of the mining industry for the country, and the entire conversation was tracked and reported by the BBC.

At the same time, Mrs. Thatcher was facing another matter. The news about the crimes committed by the former Minister of Industry was accepted by the Metropolitan Police. A loyal supporter of her, give her the possibility of embarrassing her.

From the perspective of Arthur Scargill, the Thatcher government is full of malice. Last year, in view of the fact that 20 of the 175 coal mines in the country not only had no economic benefits, but also cost huge government investment, The losses were severe and it was decided to close them.

The closure of these mines involves the unemployment of about 20,000 miners. Although the government stated that these miners will be properly resettled, after that, the government has no follow-up action.

The promise was very good, but in the end it was not done. Alan Wilson knew that this was also normal. During the process of privatization, Mrs. Thatcher really meant to control the killing and not to bury it. The saved public expenditure~lightnovelpub.net~finally They were all sent out as unemployment benefits.

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere admiration for Mr. Arthur's concern for the unemployed miners. My admiration is absolutely sincere. The miners just want to have a job, not just idle on unemployment benefits. It is a country's luck to have such workers in the UK .”

Alan Wilson slowed down his attitude, and then changed the topic, "But the government also has its own considerations in banning coal mines. Generally speaking, this is a big game."

Once upon a time, Alan Wilson hated the remarks of the Big Chess Party very much, but in this position, he must also adopt this statement.

"Does the Secretary-General of the Cabinet want to say, the kind of service industry that the Prime Minister mentioned?" Arthur Scalgill asked with a sneer, obviously not interested in the so-called service industry.

"Of course not, but the reconstruction and upgrading of the manufacturing industry." Alan Wilson straightened his back, "communication network construction, high-end manufacturing, workers are not only miners, but workers in other industries are not only more decent, but also more respectable. Great rewards. When you look at the working conditions of coal miners, no matter what we do to protect them, the working conditions in coal mines are dangerous."
