v2 Chapter 997: New Government, New Atmosphere

The unfeelingness of the backbench members made him feel lost, as if he hadn't felt this way for a long time.

Are there any misunderstandings that cannot be cleared up through communication? People who engage in politics are really scary.

In any case, now is the time to start again. No matter how unwilling it is, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also ushered in a new foreign minister, Macmillan. During World War II, the United States and Britain are like the Roman Empire Relations with Greece don't look like a reliable foreign secretary.

Rumors about the foreign minister being cuckolded and that his daughter is not his own are strictly forbidden to spread, and violators will be severely punished. I really don’t know what kind of dark-hearted person spread such unfavorable remarks to the foreign minister.

However, as the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson has the responsibility to maintain the authority of the minister and find the source of rumors that do not exist.

For the time being, suppressing his disappointment towards Mrs. Thatcher in his heart, Alan Wilson expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the new foreign secretary, Macmillan, "The empire's diplomatic work will definitely usher in a new atmosphere."

Macmillan, like Eden, was an important figure in the Conservative Party before the war. At that time, he was in the prime of life, and he was in a high position at a young age. He certainly would not have thought that he would lead Britain to win World War II and show signs of eternal life The Conservative Party of China will be beaten to pieces by the Labor Party, and it will be fourteen years after they come back.

It didn't take such a long time, who made a slight change in this world? So five years turned into fourteen years, and Aiden and McMillan who came back were a little bit old.

"Sir Wilson, with such a young executive undersecretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he will definitely bring new perspectives to the work." Macmillan immediately responded with a smile, regardless of his feelings, "Young people always have so many strange ideas. Wonderful idea."

After fourteen years of absence, McMillan is not prepared to go to war as soon as he returns, let's see how the current situation is.

Fourteen years is not a short period of time. Many things have changed. Taking a conservative attitude to wait and see is the best choice.

"I'm glad the minister thinks so." Alan Wilson nodded gently. He has a lot of whimsical ideas. Otherwise, how could he make the national treasure of the British Empire fall in love with him and even give birth to an illegitimate child?

However, it is not suitable for Macmillan to know about this matter. Considering the rumors about the foreign minister, he should hate the existence of Lao Ai next door, let alone his own executive deputy minister.

The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still very busy today, unlike decades later, it will be enough to concentrate on licking Americans.

For now, the interests of the United Kingdom are still spread all over the world, enough for Macmillan to understand first. After the general election is over, how will the new government express its position on the withdrawal of nuclear weapons from France by the Charles de Gaulle government?

Should the visit to the Soviet Union, which has already been scheduled two months later, continue? The Iranian oil crisis in the Middle East is still competing. What should we do in the next stage?

Of course, there is also the object of the first visit, which must be the United States if nothing else, or Canada. All these kinds of problems will keep Macmillan busy for a while.

This is not a problem encountered by one department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but a problem in the overall situation. At this moment, the things happening in all departments are similar, and they are welcoming the new ministers and making adjustments.

"Margaret, Margaret..." Allen Wilson, who was snubbed by the backbench members, whispered in a brave state, holding Her Royal Highness Princess who was supporting the logistics.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here." In the midst of the turbulent waves, Her Royal Highness the princess still did not forget to respond delicately.

Here in Princess Margaret, Alan Wilson gets more, which is a unique treatment belonging to the free world. If it were a country under the Soviet system, there would likely be style problems.

Happiness is only limited to this moment. Alan Wilson, who did not succeed in PUA before, solved the misunderstanding, and started this round of PUA on another Margaret. .”

Her Royal Highness, who reminisced about the rocket ride, said lazily, "What's wrong? I told those agents to leave."

"After all, it's a hidden danger, and I can't control the people in the five places." Alan Wilson put his arms around his sister-in-law's delicate body, his face full of sorrow, "In England, as a royal princess, once you are exposed, you are a big deal." scandal. If only you hadn't been a princess."

This sneaky feeling is quite unfree and does not conform to the concept of a free world.

Anyway, Alan Wilson thinks so, even if he didn't catch it, he didn't, as long as his skin is thick enough, no one can say anything. But this is obviously not what Alan Wilson wants.

"I'll quit the royal family." Princess Margaret raised her head determinedly and looked into the man's eyes. "In this way, the royal treatment will no longer restrict me. Everything in the future will have nothing to do with the royal family." .”

Alan Wilson was overjoyed, this was exactly his purpose, but he had the opposite expression on his face, and there was guilt in his eyes, "Margaret, isn't your sacrifice too great? Being able to be so selfish..."

PUA is cool for a while, and PUA has always been cool. The coveted Allen Wilson throws out a set of words. The more he shows the unbearable weight of life, the more Princess Margaret makes a decision, and the more determined her love brain is. "I don't want any royal princess. For you, everything is worth it."

"Regardless of men and women, reputation is the most intimate treasure in their souls. If someone steals my purse, he has only stolen some rubbish, which is nothing more than worthless things."

Ellen Wilson hugged Princess Margaret tightly and whispered affectionately, "You are a complete fool."

"You fool." Margaret's face was full of nostalgia, in the happiness of being PUA.

Alan Wilson decided to tailor a two-year mid-term plan for the princess to step away from the royal family step by step. It is currently in the draft. Her Royal Highness, who has sat on the rocket twice, left refreshed and reappeared in the In the eyes of the detectives.

After the general election, the dust has settled. It seems that there is no fundamental difference. The difference is only limited to Whitehall, and there is the military. Taming the ministers, or being tamed, this is a question that cannot be seen in the short term.

It is not just Whitehall that is troubled by the new government, but the military as well. Marshal Mountbatten encountered Defense Minister Duncan Sands who pointed out the idea of ​​reducing military spending and alleviating financial pressure. Duncan Sands was Churchill's son-in-law.

"Duncan, I thought the Conservative Party would be more tolerant than the Labor Party in terms of military spending." Marshal Mountbatten was disappointed, and said from a personal perspective, "Is this still the Conservative Party I know? Or, the Conservative Party and Churchill The Prime Minister's Conservative Party was different?"

Marshal Mountbatten pulled Churchill out, somewhat to the embarrassment of Duncan Sands, his father-in-law. Although he has left politics, he is still a great prime minister in the eyes of some Conservative parties. At least the credit for leading Britain to victory in the world war is indelible.

Although many people believe that Attlee's term as prime minister is even greater and more successful than Churchill's term.

"Laying off part of the army is not to weaken the British defense force. On the contrary, we want to make the British defense force stronger and invest funds in more important areas." Duncan Sands said with a heavy tone, "And in Now at this time, the role of the Royal Navy."

"The role of the Royal Navy, you can see whether the United States has a clear attitude towards the US Navy. Khrushchev belittled the role of the Navy because the level of the Soviet Red Navy is not very good." Marshal Mountbatten calmly used the words of his son-in-law He retorted in a tone, "Perhaps Duncan, you think that the Soviets must have a deeper understanding of the navy than the British, so just pretend I didn't say it."

Of course, Marshal Mountbatten did not give in at all. His son-in-law was really in the perspective of taking precautions and formulated a disarmament plan. It was also for this reason that the British Oceania Territory was merged before.

Use the newly formed South Island Army to replace part of the British garrison in Africa, and transfer the spare British troops back to Europe, or send them to the Middle East~lightnovelpub.net~ or directly include them in the disarmament share.

In order to achieve the goal of military expenditure optimization, as for the heavy aircraft carrier Duncan Sands, don't even think about it. The four heavy aircraft carriers have already started construction. With the efficiency of British shipbuilding, each of them is now over half of the construction period, and it is too late to stop work.

And there is also one in Australia, which has stopped work for no reason. Australia may think that there are some defects in this batch of heavy aircraft carriers, which will cause a devastating blow to future arms sales.

Arms sales are a major means for the United Kingdom to ease its naval inventory. For example, Tutankhamun-class submarines were sold to Portugal in a batch before, and now a batch is going to be sold to the Netherlands to strengthen the Royal Netherlands Navy in the East Indies.

"In this way, military spending will be optimized while the total number remains unchanged. The distribution of combat-capable troops in different regions will solve the pressure on maintaining global interests." Marshal Mountbatten said eloquently, "The Middle East is an energy center, and Britain has It is obligatory to protect small local countries from being involved in conflicts, Malaya is an important production base, and the Far East troops cannot be abolished, so it is very irresponsible to want to reduce the number of troops on the books.”

Optimization is possible, but the UK must find alternative sources of troops to free up the British army to reduce the corresponding numbers. That is to say, the desire for disarmament is good, but we must pay attention to the methods and methods.

Not only the Ministry of National Defense, but also the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Interior, and various departments are all experiencing similar scenes. We all know it makes sense to do this, but... I, Daying, have my own national conditions here.

Because his wife went to Australia, Alan Wilson, who was losing weight day by day, came to the Foreign Secretary's office like a walking dead. He didn't know what kind of medicine Macmillan sold. Could it be that he had some grand blueprint? better not.
