v2 Chapter 1729: Last Governor of Hong Kong

The tax cuts bill would be the biggest victory for a segment of the UK since the end of the Cold War, including Pamela Mountbatten and her friends.

But this is just the beginning. Alan Wilson still has a lot to do, such as adjusting overseas policies.

After MacLehose, in principle, the governor of Hong Kong will be a diplomat, but Mrs. Thatcher broke many rules. Alan Wilson remembers that the last governor of Hong Kong was a politician.

It can be seen that the eating situation of the cabinet is really ugly. While it is still able to exert influence, the matter must be finalized, so that it is in the interests of the British Empire.

David Wilson, the current governor of Hong Kong, has now received the call of the glorious collective of Whitehall in London, including but not limited to, Scottish Hydro Power Co., Ltd., director of the Pacific Foundation, member of the British Council, University of London Asia and Africa Invitations from members of the Bhutan Research Association, chairman of the Bhutan Research Association, chairman of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, etc., presidents of the British and Australian Economic Associations, South Pacific cultural promotion ambassadors, etc., are not listed one by one.

Wei Yixin only needs to do one thing well, leave office early due to illness, and do a good job in electing the next Governor of Hong Kong, such as electing David Hartley as a candidate to succeed him.

For such an important matter as the victory of the Cold War, the Governor of Hong Kong, who is thousands of miles away, should of course return to London to exchange views with the Secretary-General of the Cabinet on the interests of the British Empire and the East. By the way, determine a candidate for the Governor of Hong Kong. The idea of ​​how to unite the front.

Wilson, who had already made up his mind, was naturally willing to show cooperation, and asked, "Is the President of the United States too eager? The Soviet Union is still there."

"But the Soviet bloc is gone." Alan Wilson replied, "Of course, the problem in Asia may not be so simple. But the Americans are the first to bear the brunt. The first island chain is not in our hands, although the Malay Asia is also facing the very important Pearl River Delta, but the distance is far away, and the Pearl River Delta is not as important as the Yangtze River Delta, and Shanghai will be the economic center of gravity in the future."

As a key person who is slightly involved in regional conflicts, Allen Wilson knows that this is a future that will definitely appear. It is not the time when the Pearl River Delta was said to be all about policy in the 1980s, but it is all about personal efforts when it comes to itself. This is also very normal. London has always been connoted by other British cities, which cannot be avoided.

Alan Wilson suddenly wondered if there was such a mutual connotation inside Xiangjiang. Wilson shook his head and expressed that he didn't know about it. The supreme authority said that you should give up your position so that more reliable people can stand up for the British Empire. It's the last shift.

"Our strategy in the East is based on economic exchanges, and this strategy will not change until the first island chain operated by the United States is breached."

Alan Wilson has set the tone for Britain's Eastern policy, "Now the situation is delicate, all places should be careful, once there is an anti-British wave of unknown origin, don't care where it comes from, first put it out first. This is not only what Xiangjiang should do Malaya, Rhodesia, Newfoundland and the South Pacific Territories should do the same."

The supreme authority does not trust the United States. Maybe Bush will restart the impact on the British overseas system when he feels that the Soviet Union is no longer a threat. Who can guarantee that it will not happen?

Although Newfoundland is relatively dangerous geographically, there are no major problems in other aspects. It has a small population and a high standard of living. Australia now has 20 million people, while Newfoundland has just over 500,000.

Life is pretty good with newly discovered oil and old fishing grounds, especially better than old rival Iceland.

Rhodesia is in the interior of Africa, surrounded by black countries, and the issue of survival must be ranked ahead of any issue, especially now that the political situation in South Africa is turbulent, and it is not easy for the United States to start.

The location is the most important, the most populous, and the place that can most enhance the strength of the United Kingdom is Malaya, guarding the Strait of Malacca, and the main ethnic group is not white immigrants, so it is easier to start than other places. Therefore, we must be on guard against the Americans. Wei Yixin will soon fall ill, so the candidate for the Governor of Hong Kong is ready to be announced.

Strictly speaking, Wei Yixin still has less than two years in office. Once someone has served the rest of his term, it is almost certain that he will become the last Hong Kong governor of the British Hong Kong. After the news spread, all forces began to gear up Well, Alan Wilson will never back down on this matter. No matter what magnate of the Conservative Party thinks, the last governor of Hong Kong must have a reliable person in charge.

Under Wilson's strong suggestion, Whitehall finally chose the candidate recommended by Wilson, and strongly supported David Hartley to take over the position of Wilson. Trusted by the Xiangjiang administrative system, and so on…

"Secretary-General, will you compete with the cabinet for the candidate for Governor of Hong Kong?" Middleton still had some doubts. This time, Whitehall took the initiative.

"It's not about the two-year term. It's about deciding on the last term in advance. Many things can't just be seen on the surface. Nothing is simple."

Alan Wilson said, "This is to fight for the interests of Whitehall. I will retire in just over a year at most. It is more suitable for me to come, so that your work will be easier in the future."

Among many famous incidents, the one hidden behind is actually of decisive significance, such as the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's reputation is far greater than that of Shi Siming. But in fact, An Lushan was quickly killed by his son, and he led the rebel army for just over a year. During most of the Anshi Rebellion, the backbone of the rebel army was Shi Siming.

During the Battle of Yecheng, Shi Siming defeated the Tang Army's Nine Generals, many of whom were famous generals like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, which made the Anshi Rebellion last for such a long time.

Alan Wilson is still very optimistic about Middleton. It may not be a lot of trust, but he is willing to create a good environment for the next cabinet secretary. passed down from generation to generation.

Whitehall believes that the last governor of Hong Kong should be appointed by one of his own people. Why is that not the case in the cabinet? Mrs. Thatcher preferred the environment minister, Chris Bertten. Chris Bertten was responsible for implementing the poll tax before, which aroused widespread criticism. Alan Wilson represented Whitehall against the policy when he was still being interviewed.

If Alan Wilson does not object to such an ancient tax as the poll tax, it would be an insult to the intelligence of British citizens.

The poll tax has been rolled out in England since April. Adults over the age of 18 in the UK include foreign citizens living in the UK, except for secondary school students, long-term hospitalized or caregivers, mentally ill, staff working in charitable and non-profit institutions, Representatives of international organizations, their families, and prisoners serving sentences must pay poll tax.

Partial relief is granted to those who cannot afford the full tax due to certain reasons such as low income, pensioners, disabled persons, etc.

Chris Perten was the minister Mrs Thatcher used to figure out the poll tax. Alan Wilson opposed the poll tax before, and now he opposes Chris Perten as the last governor of Hong Kong.

"Give me a reason." Mrs. Thatcher asked Alan Wilson, "You opposed my policy before, and now you oppose my candidate. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Prime Minister." Alan Wilson sat down directly facing each other, staring into Mrs. Thatcher's eyes, "Don't spread the power of the political party to other regions, that is not a place for you to intervene. There are better candidates on my side, more Younger and more powerful, instead of letting a minister who is now being criticized go to Xiangjiang, what is he going to do, and restore the poll tax in Xiangjiang?"

"I think I'll take back the tax cut bill," Mrs Thatcher threatened. "Maybe this will show the secretary-general of the cabinet who is leading the UK."

"I did it for his own good. You must know that the traffic accident rate in Xiangjiang is very high, which is even higher than that in the UK. It's so boring if you can't finish your term." Alan Wilson muttered unmoved, "Actually, some things don't Considering the present, power lasts forever. Whoever maintains his influence for a long time will gain more advantage."

Alan Wilson thought of an example. In the eyes of the public, Hua Tsai is actually an actor with little talent in acting, but as of the end of the Infernal Affairs series, his movie box office in Hong Kong far exceeds the 10% of any two Mondays. As for the other one who is rumored to have good acting skills Tony Leung ~lightnovelpub.net~ can't even eat Hua Tsai's ashes.

"What? Did you get bold before retiring?" Mrs. Thatcher put away her smile. She could feel that the man in front of her was serious and would not compromise.

Alan Wilson nodded. He could not allow the candidate for the last Governor of Hong Kong to fall by the wayside. He had many reasons for objecting. For example, Chris Bertten is a Catholic, but one reason is enough. It has been agreed that a diplomat should be the Governor of Hong Kong. , then nothing can be changed, not even Mrs Thatcher.

This attitude was so tough that it was almost rigid. Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help laughing. Why? Alan Wilson told the truth, showing his sincerity, "Maybe the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, and I can pull you down together."

Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin had to end his term of office early and return to China for recuperation due to his health. The new Hong Kong Governor was discussed by the cabinet and David Hartley took over. The appointment was issued immediately.

"We all know that Downing Street and Whitehall have a certain degree of marriage," some ministers secretly complained after the cabinet meeting.
