British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 995: Conservative party comes to power

Looking back from 1945 to the present, when Attlee became the British Prime Minister for nearly 14 years, Britain lost British India and British Burma, and its influence on Egypt decreased. Sudan became independent, and Nigeria was also in the process of independence.

But it also successfully established the Malayan colony, returned to Burma economically, retained the military base in Ceylon, and imported goods into the Indian market through Goa with Portugal. The garrisons in the Middle East are still exerting influence, and the African colonies are still relatively stable, which can be regarded as an end to the trend of continuous retreat.

Britain got rid of the huge debt owed to the United States, which was also exchanged for the independence of the colonies, including British India.

But it is also true that debts are repaid, the quagmire brought about by the war has been overcome, and the increase in income and welfare has also been achieved.

In terms of military affairs, the UK maintains an army of 800,000 troops and has successfully developed atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.

The Air Force’s strategic bombers, the Navy’s new aircraft carriers, and the Army’s armed helicopters have received support from the government and re-entered service after the economy improved. Now Britain can still maintain the framework of the post-war Big Three, although there has indeed been a gap with the United States and the Soviet Union. .

Compared with the 1959 in the United Kingdom in memory, this difference is not insignificant, which is why Attlee led the Labor Party to be in power for an unprecedented period of time.

Alan Wilson is not humble, and he has a little credit for it. Adhering to the principle of neutrality among civil servants, he naturally cannot express his distrust of the Conservative Party, but it is also true that he is far more sincere in his treatment of the Labor Party than the Conservative Party.

Just look at what happened to the Conservative Party prime ministers during their term of office. It is indeed difficult for him to have any trust in this party. The Suez Canal War broke out during Aiden's tenure, and the British Empire was disgraced.

Macmillan signed the Nassau Agreement, handing over the independent nuclear weapons system that Britain had spent huge sums of money to build.

Home's term of office announced a global contraction, giving up Malaya, the Middle East, and Africa. Prime Minister Heath is in office, the United States completely smashed the pound zone, and Mrs Thatcher caused the collapse of British industry.

So what is the benefit of the Labor Prime Minister? It was hard for him not to have a good impression of Labor prime ministers like Attlee and Harold Wilson.

With the dissolution of parliament, the Conservative Party led by Eden and the Labor Party led by the new leader Gatzke will immediately enter the state of general election.

Rarely, the British government fell into the hands of the real cornerstone of the country. In the meeting room of the Cabinet Office, Norman Brooke was indifferent, listening to the discussions of senior Whitehall officials.

Which one is more likely to become the new owner of 10 Downing Street, the respected Conservative Party leader Eden or the widely supported Labor Party leader Gatzke?

"It's hard to say, the current situation is treacherous, and we can't make hasty judgments." Frank shook his head slightly and said, "Our money, oh no, taxpayers' legal taxes, anyway, can't be wasted in useless places."

"At the Ministry of National Defense, all the military branches are fighting for their heads. If the new government can no longer take a strict attitude on military expenditures, I think we will welcome the arrival of the new minister." Lawrence smiled slightly, "Of course, We all recognize that the necessary military investment is the only way to safeguard British interests, and I think Allen will definitely support me."

"Support? Oh, yes, that's right." Alan Wilson was taken aback for a moment and then said without leaking, "Of course we also have to take into account the interests of all parties and come up with a perfect plan. There is an explanation for all parties, although this is not the same as Confidentiality has nothing to do, but after all, it is better not to let the ministers interfere with the normal operation of the country. Having said that, if we are going to face a new minister, I wonder if the respected gentlemen are ready?"

"I think Alan's words are very reasonable. We should think about how to deal with the actions of different ministers." Norman Brook said with satisfaction, "Alan, what is so meaningful about you that makes the minister feel fulfilled?" Proposal?"

"There are 40,000 to 50,000 Indian immigrants in British Kenya, and they have great influence in the local area. But according to our observations, the local blacks have a bad impression of Indians and think they are outsiders. This view is also a fact. I After carefully looking at the immigration policy, I found loopholes in it. Once something happens to Kenya or it has to be independent, the status of these Indians will be very embarrassing.” Alan Wilson said with a smile, “If the new foreign secretary doesn’t mind, Solving this matter can give him a great sense of accomplishment.”

"Very good!" Norman Brook nodded appreciatively, and looked at the others, "We need to give ministers a sense of accomplishment, otherwise they may use up excess energy that has no place to rest."

"For example, translucent nurse uniforms and toilet paper scattered all over the floor." Allen Wilson couldn't help laughing.

"Haha!" The meeting room of the Cabinet Office was suddenly filled with fresh air, and happiness is contagious.

"Overall, looking back at the past and present, considering the average level of the ministers, and analyzing and summarizing, perhaps it can be considered this way." Norman Brook breathed a sigh of relief, "To sum up, in general, this is an obvious one. fact."

"However, they still claim to represent the public opinion, which is the attitude of the voters." Frank concluded in a contemptuous tone.

"The level of the ministers matches the level of the voters perfectly. The ignorance of the brain and the operation of the government are that the ministers find solutions from the solutions we provide, and make the most professional self-decisions through our guidance."

Norman Brooke explained noncommittally, "You all have to do your job well, don't make me worry about your minister, now it seems that Alan has an idea, and everyone should think about how to face the minister."

"Yes, sir." All the senior Whitehall officials nodded in unison, and it was time to prove their reliability.

"This is also an exam to kill the ministers' selfish and inappropriate ideas." Norman Brook raised his wrist and glanced at the time, "Why don't you stay for a drink?"

"Sir, let's go." Everyone understood and got up to leave one after another. Everyone was very busy, and they stopped working hard for the country all the time. Take the Ministry of the Interior as an example, they were also busy with cultural industry activities.

Edel hadn't officially taken office yet, so Alan Wilson just happened to pull him into this gathering to talk about the evils of colonialism in a relaxed environment.

This time the party included Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, who are at the peak of their acting arts. The gold content is not low, and there are also exotic styles, such as Ms. Xia Meng.

But from Alan Wilson's point of view, there are only ladies who have been on rockets before, are now on rockets, and will be on rockets in the future.

"Vivienne, you look so good." Greer Garson praised Vivien Leigh without hesitation, "Your career has also developed enviably. I really didn't expect you to come to this reception."

"Grelia, you are also very attractive." Vivien Leigh glanced at the man who was talking nonsense in the distance, and said with one heart and two minds, "No matter how well we maintain it, we can't compare with Hepburn and Taylor Oh, by the way, this is Xia Meng. I plan to bring her to the European and American markets. Ingrid’s film company and United Artists are planning to shoot a spin-off on the 007 series. With the Pacific battlefield as the background, it tells the story of the to the Pearl Harbor intelligence plot."

The prototype of this historical fact in this time and space is of course instilling in Edel, who would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, Alan Wilson, "In fact, the local environment is much easier than Malaya. Moving to a place where you can’t go, you are right to warn that it involves the front line of confrontation and has nothing to do with Britain. If the colonial government has to do the opposite, then bankruptcy and liquidation are imminent.”

It is normal for the big compradors in Malaya to want to go to a place with a majority of Chinese and run their own sweatshops. As an outsider, Alan Wilson can understand, but he can't take his own property to take risks.

In particular, fraudulent islands are strictly prohibited, no matter for any reason or excuse, if you dare to ask for money or life in this matter, then Alan Wilson will really let the disobedient people die.

"The troops in British East Africa are insufficient. After recruiting the natives of the Oceania colonies to join the army, they will be sent to Africa. Part of the British troops in Africa will be withdrawn ~lightnovelpub.net~ to supplement the Middle East and the British troops stationed in Germany."

Alan Wilson thought while thinking, "Africa's development level is low, so the islanders won't think too much. As for contacting Australia more after taking office, the Mountbatten Group has a strong network in Australia, and it can be used when necessary." help."

"Executive Deputy Minister, when will I take office?" Edel expressed his understanding, and then asked when to leave.

"It's best before the election results come out." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "We don't want any annoying changes, do we?"

Ms. Xia Meng came from a long distance, and she was not familiar with the place of life. The executive deputy minister in charge of diplomatic work, adhering to the principle that a visitor is a guest, let Ms. Xia Meng understand the concept in depth and received it in person.

Xia Meng was seasick and needle-sick, but she tried her best to cooperate with Alan Wilson's diplomatic work, and the host and guest were harmonious and had a good conversation.

Alan Wilson also took time to deal with the common position of the United States on France's actions, saying that the UK is now in the middle of a general election, and it is indeed not the time. All issues will be answered by the new government after the results of the general election are released.

This reason is justified, and it is impossible for the UK to respond now. If it has any views on the Soviet Union, maybe the candidates of the two parties will give it a go. It will not help the election if they express their views on France.

In June, legitimate voters walked out of their homes, preparing to cast their sacred votes in the fourth general election after the general election war. All polling places were overcrowded. Like the last general election, the situation was tense most of the time. The Conservative Party and the Labor Party were evenly matched.

Labor has an overwhelming advantage in Scotland but is losing ground in England. The tense situation continued until the end. The Conservative Party led by Eden defeated the Labor Party by 33 votes, and the Labor Party's consecutive ruling came to an end.
