v2 Chapter 473: persuade the prime minister

"British Civil Servant ( Find the latest chapter!

After all, Alan Wilson is also a civil servant, and he will never object to the emergence of such an institution.

This is like a problem in Britain decades later. Most British people are against the aristocracy, but at the same time, if they view the royal family alone, most British people support the royal family.

On the one hand, the British know that the aristocracy is unfair, but if there is no royal family in the United Kingdom, it will only be harmful to the United Kingdom, because the only bond that the United Kingdom can show in front of Canada and Australia is the Queen of the United Kingdom or the Queen of Canada and the Queen of Australia. If you go to the royal family, the British don't have any capital to show up in other English-speaking countries.

The situation varies from country to country, and for the UK, the country is made up of efficiency and nobility.

The king stands for nobility, and the government stands for efficiency. The king is accountable to God, and the government is accountable to the parliament. Only when the two cooperate with each other and support each other can the country be stable and prosperous for a long time.

If this Overseas Assets Management Committee is in the hands of the civil servants, Alan Wilson feels that it is definitely better than in the hands of the parties. He feels that the parties are simply a natural weakness in a parliamentary country. can be affected by a variety of factors.

It can even be said to be a model of incompetence, in which the United Kingdom is only the general stuff, and Japan is the real master.

Although in Alan Wilson's eyes, Japan is just a country at the Spanish level, it does not prevent him from despising Japan. Things as important as colonial resources must be handed over to reliable people.

Norman Brooke was very satisfied with this attitude and said he would communicate the issue with Prime Minister Attlee shortly.

Alan Wilson said that he has some suggestions for the Overseas Assets Management Committee, which can allow the heads of civil servants to pass through this department and directly link with the nationalized enterprises of the major colonies, so as to mobilize the resources of the colonies.

Integrate and optimize, connect with local companies, and learn from each other's strengths.

Of course, when these nationalized enterprises are overseas, they will not conflict with local enterprises, but one thing is certain, when banks take out loans, it is relatively easy for nationalized enterprises to take loans, and it is almost responsive to their needs. This is the biggest advantage of state-owned enterprises over private enterprises.

"Also, Dear Sir Norman, you can also directly issue orders to colonial enterprises through the Overseas Assets Management Committee, which is much easier than just a conceptual imperial preferential system." Alan Wilson was full of admiration, analyzing the appearance of this committee. The benefits, of course, are for civil servants.

"Allen, it's not all benefits, any power and obligation are related." Norman Brook said with restraint, "If the opponents focus on monopoly? How to explain?"

"Sir Norman, first of all, these overseas enterprises are not necessarily monopoly, even if they are monopoly or near-monopoly, and the monopoly is accompanied by a very heavy burden. The Overseas Assets Management Committee can directly ask for money from the enterprise, without having to To go through the procedure, all you need is an executive order.”

Alan Wilson explained with his brains, "And the salary control of these companies must be very strict, so as not to create a gap between the rich and the poor. These overseas companies have many non-profit functions that private companies do not have. We can't be like Like the United States, unilateral hostility to this corporate model is detrimental to national interests."

Norman Brooke nodded inwardly, keeping these words in his mind, ready to use it to persuade Prime Minister Attlee. Now the benefits of Labour's ruling have emerged, and if the Conservatives are in power, Norman Brook will have a harder time getting it done.

"I'm thinking, who is more suitable to manage this committee, there are many people in Whitehall, but there are not many suitable candidates." Norman Brooke seems to have leaked his words inadvertently.

Although Alan Wilson didn't realize that this might be the most important question and answer he faced in his life, instinct drove Alan Wilson to give a firm answer, "No one but Sir Norman you have this prestige. suitable."

"Oh, well, then I'll borrow your auspicious words, I hope this wish will come true." Norman Brooke said with a disrespectful smile, "Make a plan with me these days, and then we will be together. Go to see the Prime Minister."

"Oh, I'm so honored." Alan Wilson looked glorious, and then left the cabinet secretary's office in the eyes of Norman Brooke's approval.

It is the United States, not European countries, that cannot tolerate nationalized enterprises. This was different in Europe and the United States during the Cold War, not to mention that the Labour Party is in power now, and Prime Minister Attlee has completed such a large nationalization campaign in his own country. .

In the colonies, it is even simpler. There is no need to sell private companies for nationalization. Just set up a company and say it belongs to the state.

The label that private companies give themselves is to have a sense of crisis and to train people. The label given by private enterprises to state-owned enterprises is to eat and wait to die, and there is no sense of crisis. But it does not seem to be clear that a sense of crisis and crisis are completely two concepts.

The so-called sense of crisis is to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Emphasize that it is Ju An! Then think about danger. What private companies are doing is a completely different matter. The last position is eliminated, the benefits are poor, and the performance is not good. Get out of the way. In the final analysis, it is to create a crisis and maximize the benefits.

For example, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises stand on the seaside of high tide, and state-owned enterprises tell their employees, you have to go to the heights, or you will drown.

Private companies directly kick employees into the sea and let everyone flutter ashore. Then the private company said, look, my employees are exhausted, and your trousers are not wet.

Of course, nationalized enterprises have problems with nationalized enterprises. Of course, Alan Wilson also knows that private enterprises' attacks on nationalized enterprises are not completely unreasonable, but private enterprises never talk about their own problems.

Fortunately, the scope of application of nationalized enterprises at this meeting is the most basic mining industry and other raw material fields. Moreover, they are all overseas, and they will not expand the already large-scale nationalized enterprises in the UK.

However, the intrigue of state-owned enterprises is intrigue, and the intrigue of private enterprises is generally called capacity. Employees of state-owned enterprises nodded to their leaders and were treated like bureaucrats. It seems that the workers of U.S. Steel are no harder to meet Derek than the workers of nationalized enterprises.

What civil servants like most is stability. State-owned enterprises are definitely more stable than private enterprises. The losers are the worst offenders. The possibility of a comeback exists. Although it is impossible in most cases, it is theoretically possible.

As for private companies? Losers are generally fired, talk of a comeback?

Therefore, nationalized enterprises can be said to be very suitable for the civil servant group. Especially now that Attlee is in power and tries his best to alleviate the harm caused by the world war to the United Kingdom. It is the right time to propose this idea.

A week later, Alan Wilson followed Norman Brooke to No. 10 Downing Street, where he approached the Prime Minister to discuss the establishment of the Overseas Assets Management Committee and persuaded the Labour Prime Minister to endorse the matter.

Looking at the material that is thick enough for a palm, Prime Minister Attlee coughed softly, "In simple terms, it is to establish nationalized enterprises in the major colonies, which will promote the local economy."

"Of course, esteemed Prime Minister." Norman Brooke coughed softly, "consider the overall situation facing the British Empire today, not limited to the local perspective. I, the Permanent Undersecretaries of the various departments and the colonial commissioners, After careful discussion and research, I have observed the effect of the Prime Minister's nationalization in the homeland. It can be concluded that the nationalization of the homeland has been very successful and has an irreplaceable role in getting rid of the post-war predicament and the end of the rationing system. "

"Oh? Do you think so?" Prime Minister Attlee said with great joy, "We have combined the advantages of capitalism and socialism to achieve today's results..."

While Prime Minister Attlee was boasting, Norman Brooke played a good audience. When UU read www.uukanshu.com heard the key points, there was a flash of understanding on his face, and sometimes he was surprised. It seems that only at this time did he realize the deep meaning of the great Prime Minister.

It is a pity that Alan Wilson was standing behind Norman Brooke, and it was a pity that he could not learn the essence of how to be a cabinet secretary at this time.

"In solving the current U.S. and Soviet Union's overt and covert means to the British Empire, we have come up with such a plan, which is essentially an expanded version of your Prime Minister's idea. We expect that after the establishment of nationalized enterprises in the colonies, the imperial preferential system will be implemented. The effect will be improved.”

Norman Brooke said that any civil servant who has an idea is to be happy. This is actually the idea of ​​Prime Minister Attlee.

"After several years of hard work, I have finally achieved some results. I am very happy to see Britain recovering from the war." .

Norman Brooke would not have proposed the nationalisation of the homeland to extend to all the current territories of the British Empire if it had not seen the effect. This shows that Norman Brooke also agrees with his policy as Prime Minister.

"In principle, I have no problem. Of course, I have to discuss it with the ministers." Attlee nodded, obviously being persuaded. "As for the Conservative Party, I don't know how to deal with it."

"Respected Prime Minister, it's time to show your courage as a Prime Minister. Opposition parties are not qualified to oppose." Norman Brook said casually, "It's really not good. It can be said that it involves state secrets and refuses to answer."

"Yes, I think of Churchill, who used a similar excuse when Congress faced the Lend-Lease Act." When Prime Minister Attlee heard it, he remembered Churchill's response when he questioned it.
