British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1603: John Major
In the consideration of relaxing and recuperating, Mrs Thatcher decided to recuperate for a period of time and used public holidays to go to Switzerland for vacation.
Alan Wilson, of course, is very much in favor. It just so happens that he has to deal with some adjustments to the work in Newfoundland. The Newfoundland Royal Territory is simply a modern-day pirate, which Icelanders feel deeply.
But I have to admit that the luck of modern pirates is good. Newfoundland, which resolutely defended its fishery resources, looked at the vast fishery in its hands in the 1980s and felt a sense of pride. What the **** is Canada, can it compare with Newfoundland's living conditions?
The construction of national telecommunications has been dawdling in the UK, but it has been completed first in Newfoundland, for which the UK has also laid a submarine optical cable.
This is far from the whole story. Alan Wilson has always known that there is oil in the waters near Newfoundland. When he was the chief executive, he hoped to use it to reverse the local economic situation, but he never found it. In the end, labor was mobilized from Malaya to close the financial hole.
Up to now, Newfoundland, which is already rich and oily, has finally detected the news of oil. It is also an offshore financial center, a tax haven, and one of the four major fishing grounds in the world. Now it has discovered oil reserves. Considering that Alan Wilson is jealous of the small population of Newfoundland.
"Do you think Newfoundland wants to merge with Canada now?" Holding the prospecting papers, Alan Wilson handed them over to his wife, though there was no need to do it at all.
Newfoundland has its own parliament, and it is completely possible to find Pamela Mountbatten directly to mine, but it is more secure to implement procedural justice.
"American per capita 15,000, Canada 13,000, Newfoundland 21,000, I wouldn't think about 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 will indeed happen when it occupies a lot of resources, not to mention that Newfoundland is an offshore financial center. There is another world. Well-known fishing grounds." Alan Wilson said that the data does not tell everything.
Even after a few decades, Saudi Arabia will be at the level of 20,000 per capita. It is not a big dog. Why does it leave the impression of a big dog? That's because at this time, Saudi Arabia is indeed a rich and oily 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 not stable, but it doesn't matter. Newfoundland itself is so small that it can completely live on the ground. The residents lost their heart to struggle early, which is really pitiful.
"Let my daughter go. Originally, it's her daughter's job in the gaming industry." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a while and decided to let her daughter go. As she got older, her professionalism also faded.
"Bring Carol, and the Prime Minister's daughter will follow, can show the importance of London." Alan Wilson suggested so, the richest woman hesitated and nodded in agreement.
The Speaker of the House of Lords, William Whitelow, has insisted that Cecil Parkinson leave the House of Commons, indicating the scandal is far from over. William Whitelow's call has also been supported by a group of Conservative MPs. More to support.
Labour leadership update after the election: Michael Foot stepped down and young politician Neil Kinnock was elected as party leader. In this way, the Conservative Party faces a young and promising opponent who is very attractive to voters.
Kinnock is Welsh, good at speech, especially eloquent and lethal. With the passage of time and the tempering of actual combat, he gradually stood out in the parliamentary debate, and the debate skills have reached a perfect climate.
From the abdication of the older generation such as Foote and Healy, the leadership of the Labour Party has been transferred to the hands of a new generation.
Seeing the disputes within the Conservative Party, the Labour Party will naturally not stand by and focus its firepower on Cecil Parkinson, hoping that this Margaret Thatcher fan will completely disappear from the political world.
"My God, but my friend, having said that, I'm just getting my head around now, you're so lucky." Alan Wilson said to Profumo about the Cecil Parkinson scandal in front of Profumo Fu Mo can be considered to have picked it up. If it is exposed to minors, he will be the one facing this kind of saliva now.
And it's not just the issue of minors, there is also the turmoil with the Soviet Union, so it is a matter of course that Alan Wilson should stand up in front of Profumo.
"The Conservative Party is determined not to leave this scum." Profumo expressed his attitude that this black sheep must be driven out of politics.
"Well said." Alan Wilson nodded in approval. "The Minister of Industry needs a trustworthy person to serve. I don't know if the Minister has a choice. Recommend a reliable person."
"How about John Major, I have a good relationship with him." Profumo put forward the candidate in his mind. In fact, John Major entered politics quite late, even Cecil Parkinson after.
"He? Yes, he's a good candidate." When Alan Wilson heard that this was not a rebel in the late period of Mrs. Thatcher's reign, but it was not obvious, he agreed immediately, and he should meet if he was free.
The Cecil Parkinson scandal has intensified after Mrs Thatcher ended her leave and is already considered a new height of scandal in recent years.
Although Alan Wilson respects Senator Cecil Parkinson on certain issues, it is time to make a decisive decision. "He has no other choice but to leave politics now."
"Do you have to do this? Why can't you stop?" Mrs Thatcher didn't want to exterminate her loyal fans, thinking that internal and external enemies were too inhumane.
"If you win, you will fight back. If you lose, you will hold grudges. My Prime Minister, you have never been polite to the Labour Party, and they will naturally not be polite to you." Alan Wilson frowned, this woman is too double-standard, look at you No matter how you treat your opponents, of course how they treat you, they always talk about these things, and they are not open-minded at all.
The connoted Mrs Thatcher squinted at Alan Wilson and suddenly said, "I'm still a little uncomfortable recently."
"The Prime Minister shouldn't be too old, right?" Alan Wilson glanced suspiciously at Mrs Thatcher's belly. Could it be that a mountain is still taller than Greta Garbo? The prime minister also has the athletic physique?
Margaret Thatcher, who winked at the blind man, taunted the cabinet secretary, "Maybe the peach news has not found a really suitable candidate."
"If you look for it, you will definitely find two. One person is not a scandal, just like a slap that cannot be clapped."
Alan Wilson was not frightened, but he had no intention of arguing with the Prime Minister, and said in a different tone, "It's better to rest and recuperate. It's really not good to ignore the accusations of the Labour Party. You are a woman, what else can they do?"
Angered by a woman's tone, Mrs Thatcher, the prime minister must prove that he is no worse than anyone else, decided to talk to Cecil Parkinson to persuade him to resign and stay out of the limelight.
In the face of a situation where the group is attacking, the Prime Minister cannot keep shielding 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. 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 the new industry secretary, John Major.
On this issue, Alan Wilson said that the former industry secretary believed that the UK should focus on the financial sector, although John Major could continue to plan along this line if he didn't mind.
This made John Major feel very uncomfortable. The former Minister of Industry was riddled with scandals, and even MPs couldn't do it. When he took office, he continued along the line of a scandal-ridden person?
"There is also a Whitehall plan. Regarding the development of the semiconductor industry and electronic communication, do you want the minister to look at it?" Alan Wilson immediately changed his plan when he saw that the other party was not interested in his predecessor.
Obviously, the new minister cannot follow the wrong line, of course it is the wrong line, otherwise why has the other party left the political circle?
Just when the cabinet secretary kicked the stumbling block, a coup d'etat broke out in Grenada, a Caribbean island country and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The head of the government, Maurice Bishop, was tragically assassinated. new regime.
After the coup, the heads of the neighboring countries Barbados and Dominica called on the United Kingdom and the United States to send troops to Grenada to help stabilize the local situation, so as to avoid a domino effect that would affect the stability of their own countries.
"Violation of international law?" Alan Wilson seemed to have heard a joke, UU reading www.uukanshu.com yin and yang strangely said, "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 anymore. ."
"But Grenada has no interests. Such a small country, the country's finances are not good now." Mrs. Thatcher felt that the cabinet secretary was connoting herself again, and sternly asked the cabinet secretary to pay attention to financial issues.
"That's not impossible. I suggest legalizing lottery tickets. In fact, Newfoundland has been operating the Commonwealth's welfare lottery for decades." Alan Wilson said, "But after all, the UK has banned it, so It only exists in the word of mouth among citizens. If it is promoted with modern technology, such as advertising on TV, I believe it will not be difficult to promote. It is initially estimated that it can bring in more than one billion pounds of revenue a year. "
"How can there be so much income?" Mrs Thatcher was surprised, and then said, "If you think about it, Newfoundland must have made a lot of money in the past few decades."
"The Newfoundland Foundation is huge," Alan Wilson chuckled. "It's no worse than Norway, which built its wealth with North Sea oil and gas."
