British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1599: If you win, you will counterattack
There are three fires for new officials to take office. In order to celebrate Mrs. Thatcher's re-election, Alan Wilson is presiding over a departmental executive secretary meeting to see what changes can be made to the Prime Minister.
"It seems that the Conservative Party has never won such a huge victory after the war." Alan Wilson said to his colleagues with a smile when referring to the results of the general election that had just been released, "It can be seen especially how a victory in a war has an impact on society. important."
"I don't know what the significance of the existence of the Social Democratic Party is. But it only took six seats. The Labor Party must have lost more than six positions because of the nonsense of these former ministers."
Armstrong commented indifferently, "The Conservative Party won more than 60 seats. The next five years will be regarded as a consolidated ruling. However, from the perspective of national balance, this is not good."
The United Kingdom implements a relatively majority vote counting system, which is quite similar to the current state electoral college vote winners in the United States.
That is to say, in a constituency, even if a candidate does not get more than half of the votes, as long as he has only one vote more than other candidates, he can get the seat in this constituency. select.
Therefore, the common situation is that although the elected candidate has more votes than the second place, but the total number of votes is less than other candidates, that is to say, he can still be elected even if the majority of voters do not agree with him, and become the representative of public opinion in the entire constituency. House of Commons.
It must be admitted that the emergence of the Social Democratic Party must divert a large number of votes from the Labor Party. The United Kingdom can be regarded as a stable two-party system, not in name but in fact.
In this political environment, benevolent people have different opinions and wise people see wisdom. It is actually not a good thing to have too many parties in a country. If there are too many parties, it is too easy for foreign forces to find agents.
For example, the United Kingdom also has a Green Party, which advocates complete denuclearization from the standpoint of protecting the environment, and advocates Britain's withdrawal from the North Atlantic Treaty Agreement and the European Community.
Inspired and inspired by the Greens of the Federal Republic of Germany having seats in parliament, the party also put forward a list of one hundred candidates.
After many considerations, Alan Wilson decided to hand over the control of this party to his daughter Pamela. He can still control his daughter if she does good or bad, and she doesn't know what will happen if she becomes a jellyfish He can also prevent and control the party with a concentrated mind.
Too many parties will definitely consume the strength of the country, but it is precisely this situation that is easy to breed in the parliamentary system in Europe.
For example, during the Cold War, Italy was also a de facto two-party country. The opposition party was the Italian Communist Party. The opponents of the Italian Communist Party formed the Catholic Democratic Party to prevent the Italian Communist Party from discoloring Italy.
After the end of the Cold War, the significance of the existence of the Catholic Democratic Party also disappeared. Since then, there has never been more than half of the parties in Italy. Every election is a coalition government. The frequency of changing prime ministers is comparable to that of Japan. The European power that the United Kingdom kicked down has become the representative of European pigs.
To some extent, Italy is a lesson learned from the combination of traffic lights in Germany, which is not easy to happen in the UK, especially when the presence of the House of Lords is getting higher and higher.
"Oh, by the way, give me this year's list of honors later." Alan Wilson patted his head to remind Armstrong, and then continued to discuss the impact of the general election on civil servants. This issue can still be discussed.
John Hunter pointed to the immigrant turnout this year, with nonwhite voters fielding 23 candidates, five of whom were put forward by the National Federation of Minority Organizations. The Federation is a coalition of Asian immigrants. They are also trying to gain a seat in parliament.
"The head of this federation is Osman Khan, right? He is the son of Ali Khan, the former ruler of Hyderabad, and the younger brother of the Sultan of Sabah. In a sense, he represents the interests of the Asian territories. Oh, we let Ian Smith also enter How is the organization?"
Alan Wilson gave his own suggestion, "Of course, the people of the royal territory should participate in the local election activities, so that the government can face up to the rights and interests of several overseas territories. Ask him if he is interested."
After discussing the details of the general election, Alan Wilson went to No. 10 Downing Street to congratulate Mrs. Thatcher on her re-election. Mrs. Thatcher has cultivated such a look in the British political arena for more than 20 years. Huang has a clever tongue, sharp teeth, and he doesn't forgive anyone when he talks long and short. It is no longer the chairman of the Conservative Party on campus who was manipulated in the palm of his hand.
But this is useless to Alan Wilson. He is immune to the eloquence of the female prime minister, and sometimes even wants to have a verbal dispute.
Alan Wilson took out the draft of the Ministry of Defense to strengthen the British military, including the demonstration and construction plan of the new aircraft carrier, and the establishment of the national electronic communication network. Both of them will cost money, which instantly dilutes Thatcher Madam's winning mood, "Isn't our military strength enough?"
"Considering the fact that two Eagles have just been sold to the Kingdom of Iraq, and the deployment of the Royal Navy from Gibraltar to Xiangjiang, the existing warships can only be said to be unsatisfactory." Alan Wilson took out the prepared words, "Eight to nine aircraft carriers , can safeguard the current global interests of the UK, didn’t the Prime Minister say in this general election? We must resolutely defend the dignity of the UK as a major country and strengthen the military?”
"Isn't there still a centaur available?" Mrs. Thatcher thought to herself, I was just talking casually, why do you take it seriously.
"Centaurs are unusable, and the size of the British Royal Navy has been discussed a long time ago. It must be maintained in a standard way. This standard is the Royal Navy plus the Red Navy. Should be bigger than the U.S. Navy."
When Alan Wilson said this, he looked at Mrs. Thatcher's shocked expression and said, "Of course, you don't know. You were the chairman of the campus Conservative Party at that time, and you were far from the level of discussion."
"I'm the Prime Minister now." Mrs. Thatcher was like a fighting cock, and she clearly reacted to the specific vocabulary of the Conservative Party chairman on campus. It has been so many years, and she always mentions it again and again. She really thinks she has no temper. Don't you dare to withdraw the cabinet secretary?
The reason is this, Alan Wilson still explained his reasons, "The British Empire started from the status of strength and became a firm ally with the United States. Once there is no status of strength, it is just a follower. It is dangerous to be the enemy of the United States. Friends of the United States are deadly. This is what Kissinger said. You can see that the French do not listen to the United States, and the United States has always tolerated it, so sometimes they follow too closely and waste their value in the United Front. British interests."
"Prime Minister, you can immediately see how the United States will treat its allies. I think Germany and Japan are quite dangerous. There are a large number of US troops in these two countries, and they are essentially incapable of resisting the United States. Do you think that one Latin America is enough to nourish the blood of the United States? Not enough at all.”
If you compare Germany and Japan, during the Cold War, these two countries were almost the same. After the end of the Cold War, Germany had more freedom than Japan. Because after the withdrawal of the Soviet troops in the GDR, the Germans moved the capital from Bonn to Berlin. There was no US military base in the Soviet theater, so Germany still had some breathing room.
However, it is not the same, but it is just a little more breathing room. In essence, as long as the US military works a little harder, Germany still has to listen to the Americans.
Take the deployment of the Pershing missile and the negotiations on nuclear disarmament this time as an example. German Chancellor Kohl firmly opposed Reagan's intensification of the situation in Europe and wanted to coexist peacefully with the Soviet Union. Is it useful to object?
Alan Wilson used Cole's firm opposition, and then agreed with the United States to explain to Mrs. Thatcher, "In essence, Germany is really not much different from a colony, and Japan is the same. Now that the US economy has problems, this The two countries are the best targets. Otherwise, how about I make a bet with the Prime Minister, with three years as the limit, the United States will definitely let these two countries have excessive economic benefits and alleviate the problems in the US economy."
"If I win, I will dismiss you." Mrs. Thatcher stared angrily into the man's eyes, "Do you want to act as if you accept it?"
"It's not good to be too confident. What if I win?" Alan Wilson also showed weakness and reversed the output, "When I need it, you should back down three times, just like Aladdin's magic lamp. Alright, the communication network The construction of the aircraft carrier and the construction plan of the aircraft carrier should be regarded as two of them, and I will think about the remaining one."
At present, the four countries of Britain, the United States, France and Germany are all right-wing politicians in power, and they are all committed to the unity and strength of the Western Alliance in their own way.
President Reagan, it seems, is determined to seek re-election. If he is also elected, the four main leaders in the West will all come to power in the critical years to come. No matter how much they differ economically, they all share a common philosophy.
Compared with the free world, looking at the Soviet Union where the enemy is in Moscow~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is in stark contrast to decades later, not to mention the leaders of Germany and France, the British woman The prime minister and the sleeping king are obviously not candidates on the political spectrum, and they might be friends in the trenches with the king.
Alan Wilson still has things to do, and this is the time to make Mrs. Thatcher happy, to accept the congratulations from the leaders of other countries, and to counter-offensive.
If you win, you will counterattack, and if you lose, you will hold grudges. Thatcher will not forget that many cabinet ministers who were not loyal before, especially compared with the cabinet secretary who supported her, were not reliable.
Frances Pym has successively served as the Governor-General of the Conservative Party, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Secretary of State for Defense, Speaker of the House of Lords and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
On the second day after the general election, Prime Minister Thatcher said to him straight to the point: "Frances, I need a new foreign secretary." The figurehead of the backbench.
The deputy leader of the Conservative Party, William Whitelow, the prime minister's senior minister in power, was resigned as Home Secretary and replaced as Speaker of the House of Lords. Its vacancy was taken over by young people.
