British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1603: john major
In order to relax and recuperate from illness, Mrs. Thatcher decided to recuperate for a period of time and went to Switzerland on public holidays for vacation.
Of course, Alan Wilson is very much in favor of it. It just so happens that he has to deal with some adjustments to the work in Newfoundland. The royal territory of Newfoundland is simply a modern pirate, and Icelanders feel deeply about this.
But I have to admit that the luck of modern pirates is good. Newfoundland, which resolutely defends fishery resources, looked at the vast fishing grounds in its hands in the 1980s, and felt proud. What kind of **** is Canada, can it compare with Newfoundland's living conditions?
The construction of national telecommunications has been slow in the United Kingdom, but it has been completed first in Newfoundland. For this reason, the United Kingdom has also laid a submarine optical cable.
This is far from all. Alan Wilson has always known that there is oil in the waters near Newfoundland. When he was the chief executive, he hoped to reverse the local economic situation, but he never found it. In the end, labor was mobilized from Malaya to plug the financial hole.
Up to now, Newfoundland, which is already very rich, has finally detected the news of oil. It is also an offshore financial center, a tax haven, and holds one of the world's four largest fishing grounds. Now it has discovered oil reserves. Considering Newfoundland's small population made Alan Wilson jealous.
"Do you think Newfoundland would like to merge with Canada now?" Holding the prospecting documents, Alan Wilson handed them over to his wife, although there was no need to do anything extra.
Newfoundland has its own parliament, and it is entirely possible to ask Pamela Mountbatten to mine directly, but it is more secure to perform procedural justice.
"The US per capita is 15,000, Canada is 13,000, and Newfoundland is 21,000. I would not think of merging." Pamela Mountbatten also lamented the luck of Newfoundland residents.
"Resource areas can't be counted in this way. Two years ago, Saudi Arabia's per capita income was 18,000. Last year it dropped to 14,000. This situation will indeed happen if it occupies a lot of resources, not to mention that Newfoundland is an offshore financial center. There is also a world Well-known fishing grounds." Alan Wilson said that the data does not tell everything.
Even decades later, Saudi Arabia will have a per capita level of over 20,000. It is not a big dog. Why does it leave the impression of a big dog? That's because at this moment, Saudi Arabia is indeed a very rich country. The oil crisis allowed Saudi Arabia to have a per capita income of nearly 20,000 in the 1980s.
The income of the resource country is unstable, but it doesn't matter. Newfoundland itself has such a small population that it can completely live on its own. The residents have lost the will to struggle early, which is really pitiful.
"Let the daughter go. The gaming industry is now run by the daughter." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a while and decided to let her daughter go. As she got older, her career ambitions also faded.
"Bring Carol, and the Prime Minister's daughter will follow, which can show London's importance." Alan Wilson suggested this, and the richest woman hesitated and nodded in agreement.
The Speaker of the House of Lords, William Whitelow, insisted that Cecil Parkinson leave the House of Commons, indicating that the scandal was far from over. William Whitelow's call was also supported by a group of Conservative MPs. As for the Labor Party It is even more necessary to support.
After the general election, the leadership of the Labor Party was renewed: Michael Foot stepped down and a young politician, Neil Kinnock, was installed as party leader. In this way, the Conservative Party is facing a young and promising opponent who is very attractive to voters.
Kinnock is a Welsh man who is good at oratory, especially eloquent, and has great lethality. With the passage of time and the tempering of actual combat, he gradually came to the fore in parliamentary debates, and his debate skills have reached a superb and perfect climate.
With the abdication of the older generation such as Foote and Healy, the leadership of the Labor Party has been transferred to the hands of the new generation.
Seeing the internal disputes in the Conservative Party, the Labor Party will naturally not stand by and focus its firepower on Cecil Parkinson, hoping that this supporter of Mrs. Thatcher will completely disappear from the political circle.
"My God, but my friend, having said that, now that I've come to my senses, you're so lucky." When talking about the Cecil Parkinson scandal in front of Profumo, Alan Wilson said Profumo Fu Mo can be considered to have picked it up, if the affair with the underage is exposed, he will be the one facing this kind of slobber now.
And it's not just the issue of minors, but also the turmoil with the Soviet Union, so Alan Wilson should of course stand up straight in front of Profumo.
"The Conservative Party is determined not to keep this kind of scum." Profumo expressed his attitude, and must drive this black sheep out of the political circle.
"That's a good point." Alan Wilson nodded in approval, "The Minister of Industry needs a trustworthy person. I don't know if there is a candidate for the Minister. I recommend a reliable person."
"How about John Major, I have a good relationship with him." Profumo proposed the candidate in his mind. In fact, John Major entered the political arena quite late, even before Cecil Parkinson after.
"He? That's right, he's a good candidate." Alan Wilson heard that this was not the rebel of Mrs. Thatcher's late administration, but the rebellion was not obvious, so he immediately agreed to meet him if he had time.
The Cecil Parkinson scandal has intensified after Mrs Thatcher returned from her leave of absence and is already considered the new height of scandal in recent years.
Although on some issues, Alan Wilson respects Congressman Cecil Parkinson, but now it is time to make a decisive decision, "He has no other choice but to leave politics now."
"Is it necessary to do this? Why can't I stop it?" Mrs. Thatcher didn't want to drive out her loyal supporters, thinking that internal and external enemies were too unkind.
"If you win, you will counterattack, and if you lose, you will hold grudges. My Prime Minister, you have never been polite to the Labor Party, and they will naturally not be polite to you." Alan Wilson frowned, this woman is too double-standard, look at you How to treat your opponent, of course how others treat you, always talk about these things, not open-minded at all.
The connoted Mrs. Thatcher squinted at Alan Wilson, and suddenly said, "I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable recently."
"The Prime Minister shouldn't be too old, right?" Alan Wilson glanced suspiciously at Mrs. Thatcher's abdomen. Could it be that there are mountains as tall as mountains, and Greta Garbo is not the only one with extraordinary talents? The Prime Minister also has the physique of an athlete?
Mrs. Thatcher, who winked at the blind man, mocked the cabinet secretary, "Maybe the pornographic news didn't find a really suitable candidate."
"If you look for it, you will definitely find two. One person cannot constitute a scandal, just like a slap in the face cannot slap."
Alan Wilson was not frightened, but he had no intention of arguing with the Prime Minister. He changed his tone and said, "You still have to take a good rest. If you can't do it, ignore the accusations of the Labor Party. You are a woman, what else can they do?"
A woman's tone was irritated, Mrs. Thatcher, the Prime Minister had to prove that he was no worse than anyone else, and decided to talk to Cecil Parkinson to persuade him to resign and temporarily avoid the limelight.
Facing the situation of mass attacks, the Prime Minister cannot always shield the erring MPs, not to mention that Mrs. Thatcher is also a woman. A week later, Cecil Parkinson, who left the Minister of Industry, has understood that it is irreversible. He can only announce his resignation and leave politics.
This is not a problem that can be solved by resignation, but it is too obvious to pursue it immediately. Alan Wilson is discussing the development of British industry with John Major, the new Minister of Industry.
On this issue, Alan Wilson said that the former Minister of Industry believed that the UK should focus on the financial sector, but if John Major doesn't mind, he can continue to plan along this route.
This made John Major very uncomfortable. The former Minister of Industry was so scandal-ridden that he couldn't even be a member of parliament. So he continued to follow the route of a scandal-ridden person after taking office?
"There is also a Whitehall plan about the semiconductor industry and the development of electronic communications. Would you like the minister to take a look?" Seeing that the other party was not interested in his predecessor, Alan Wilson immediately changed his plan.
Obviously, the new minister cannot follow the wrong route, of course it is the wrong route, otherwise why has the other party left the political circle?
Just when the secretary-general of the cabinet kicked the stumbling block away, a coup broke out in Grenada, an island country in the Caribbean and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The head of the government, Morris Bishop, was assassinated. new regime.
After the coup, the leaders of the neighboring countries Barbados and Dominica requested Britain, the United States and other countries to send troops to Grenada to help stabilize the local situation, so as to avoid a domino effect and affect the stability of their own countries.
"Breach of international law?" Alan Wilson seemed to have heard a joke~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yin Yang said strangely, "In the eyes of many countries, the Falklands War is a model of violation of international law. However, if you don't fight, you may not be the prime minister now. "
"But Grenada has no interests. It is such a small country, and the country's finances are not good." Mrs. Thatcher felt that the secretary-general of the cabinet was connoting herself again, and asked the secretary-general of the cabinet to pay attention to financial issues with a straight face.
"That's not impossible. I suggest legalizing the lottery. In fact, Newfoundland has been operating the Commonwealth's welfare lottery for decades." Alan Wilson said, "But the UK has banned it after all, so It only exists in the word of mouth among citizens, and if modern technology is used to promote it, such as advertising on TV, I believe it will not be difficult to promote it. Preliminary estimates can bring more than one billion pounds in revenue a year."
"Can there be so much income?" Mrs. Thatcher was taken aback, and then said, "If you think about it, Newfoundland must have earned a lot in the past few decades."
"The scale of the Newfoundland Foundation is huge." Alan Wilson chuckled, "It's no worse than Norway, which has accumulated wealth with oil and gas in the North Sea."
