British Civil Servant

People who don't know about the imbalance between the east and the west may think that it refers to a certain big country, but at this time it is the Australian federal government that is deeply worried about this issue.

Don't underestimate the discovery of iron ore in Australia more than ten years earlier than history. It is these ten years that have brought about changes in all aspects. In fact, every state in Australia does not lack minerals, and Australia as a whole does not lack such things, except for the southeast. In addition, the natural conditions in other areas are not good and have not been explored much.

New South Wales and Victoria in the southeast are also not short of minerals, but they are incomparable with Western Australia, which covers a large area.

In just thirty years, Perth has become a city of two million people with the immigrants attracted by the finances brought by Western Australia's minerals. Most of the immigrants are from the United Kingdom, and the British immigrants after the independence of the colonies, Most of those who did not return to their native land came to live in Australia.

The influx of a large number of people and the mineral resources of Western Australia made Perth develop by leaps and bounds. In 1985, there was a regional imbalance in Australia.

Western Australia accounts for half of the reserves of all mineral categories in Australia, and some even account for 80%. When the original exploration was performed, a binary contract was adopted, which was signed with the federal government and the state government respectively.

Then came the state government level. Western Australia can be called the richest lower-level government in the world. If almost the population of Western Australia was not around Perth, what would happen to California?

Due to historical reasons, there are railways of different standards in Australia, with a wide range of widths and standards, among which narrow-gauge railways occupy an overwhelming advantage.

As Perth's immigrants account for the majority, and they are still a generation of immigrants, the Australian federal government has also felt the power of immigration, and people in Western Australia have a tendency not to take the East seriously.

The capital flow brought by the iron mines in Western Australia is the basis of this confidence.

Australia has 12,000 per capita, more than 11,000 in the east, and almost 15,000 in the west. Economically, Perth and Malaya are about to become Haier brothers. How can this make Canberra feel embarrassed? Income inequality has exacerbated the centrifugal force in the west, and the federal government has been trying to find a way.

At this time, the spokesperson of Pamela Mountbatten said that the construction of a standard high-speed railway linking major cities is the solution to this centrifugal force. Australia's railway is not short, but it really doesn't matter much compared to the country's land area.

Opponents use the United States as an example and believe that Australia can resolve this problem through a developed aviation industry.

It took so long for the two sides to insist on their own opinions, and they tend to learn from the voice of the United States that the aviation industry can be developed to promote population mobility.

Those who support high-speed railways consider economics. No matter how strong the aviation industry is, it cannot replace the role of railways. If the country is the body, the railways are the blood vessels. To increase the connection between the east and the west of Australia, railways are still needed.

Today, the debate finally came to a conclusion. Pamela Mountbatten said in a very happy voice, "We still have the advantage in Australia. If it were in Canada, we would not be able to discuss it for ten years. It's like Like an oil pipeline."

"The United States is too close to Canada. Even if Canada and the United Kingdom seem to have deeper folk sentiments, they cannot overcome the overwhelming influence of the United States." Alan Wilson knew as soon as he heard it that his wife's proposal to build an oil pipeline in Canada was always rejected. Set aside brooding.

There is no need to think about the reason for the shelving. Of course, it is to give priority to the United States to prevent the United Kingdom from regaining its huge influence in Canada. When the current oil pipeline is necessary, the Americans can do something from their own country, and Canada has no way to resist.

Pamela Mountbatten knew as soon as she heard it, her husband was going to repeat the same old tune, to express his merits, and to talk about the development of the Commonwealth, which was debated decades ago. Most people think it is Canada with traditional relations, Allen Wilson was adamant about the Australian argument.

"There is no one like my husband who looks at problems so sharply and finds a good place to bring everyone back to glory." The richest woman predicted her husband's prediction, and before she could express her merits, she said There has been a steady stream of decadent music.

"Since the railway has been finalized, it is a great thing for the UK. The existence of the US aerospace giant Boeing is the basis for curbing the relevant research in the United States. Japan, France, and Germany are the countries that lead to the promotion of high-speed railways. But this kind of railway is actually suitable for countries with a large area. In fact, it is most suitable for China and India, and there may be the Soviet Union. "

Alan Wilson analyzed while thinking that the main force of Australia's railways is freight, and the construction of high-speed railways is indeed a luxury in terms of Australia's population. But compared to the uneven development between the east and the west and the increase in centrifugal force, such a major political issue, spending more money is nothing, and Australia is not short of money.

Boeing's lobbying group, how could it be possible for the United States to work **** railways, but the fact that the United States did not work hard is the basis for Alan Wilson to promote this matter. Now Germany produces technology and the United Kingdom produces influence. Solve the problem of unbalanced economic development and make some money by the way.

In order to promote the construction of the high-speed railway this time, the Australian federal government is full of sincerity and is ready to bear 60% of the cost from the central government. You must know that Western Australia's finances are not much worse than that of the federal government. Even if the Labor Party state government pays more benefits, it is far stronger financially than other states.

"Honey, do Australians sometimes scold, when the exploration contract was signed with the federal government and the state government separately, which **** proposed it?"

"I haven't really asked about this kind of question." Pamela Mountbatten looked at the **** in front of her and pretended not to know. "No one would discuss this kind of question."

"That's good!" Alan Wilson stood with his hands behind his back, and decided to focus on the next issue, which is the issue of Poland promoting the cause of freedom. Prepare for the spread of British influence into Eastern Europe.

He must be prepared. If he is not fully prepared and acts with the United States at the same time, the reality of the United States' economic strength may not be able to be overtaken by the United Kingdom.

Specific measures include strongly criticizing the Polish military government and demanding the release of Wałęsa, who is under house arrest. Although Alan Wilson knows this, he is a so-called leader who has no other ability except shouting slogans.

But if you look down on him, you look down on him, and if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own politics. He is a British, and no matter what he thinks now, he must launch a fierce attack on the Soviet bloc in action.

"Call for the release of Lech Walesa? Is it too radical?" Mrs. Thatcher hesitated. The World War II has been over for decades, and the UK still has no influence.

"The Prime Minister once said that the new leaders of the Soviet Union have a mentality that seems to be compromising. We should also take a tentative attack to see if this compromising mentality exists." Alan Wilson "Of course, considering the special relationship between Britain and the United States, this must not be hidden from the United States. I think President Reagan should also agree."

Reagan will definitely agree, and Alan Wilson is convinced of this. Doesn't the United States want to test the Soviet Union?

Of course I want to, but I hope that the United Kingdom can replace itself. In this way, whether the Soviet Union gives the United Kingdom a powerful, or the United Kingdom disgusts the Soviets, it is beneficial to the United States.

"Is Jazz really a practical ally?" Mrs. Thatcher chuckled. Now she is almost used to Alan Wilson. Even if she cooperates with the United States, she still has to tease a few words about American habits. She can't say anything. , at least the Secretary-General of the Cabinet is still very supportive of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Britain's tentative diplomatic offensive this time was officially launched at the end of 1985. There is no doubt that it did not get a response from Moscow. It took office only in March at the beginning of the map. It has been less than a year now, and the remnants of the former government have not been cleared out. The center, of course, cannot respond to the diplomatic pressure to release Walesa.

On the contrary, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko slammed the United Kingdom and said that the Soviet Union had long held evidence that Walesa and the movement he represented were supported by imperialism.

Reagan, who was in the White House, saw this end-of-year confrontation and almost burst into laughter. He said to his wife Nancy with a smile, "You see, the British seem to be very straightforward when they talk about the internal affairs of the United States. But when they met the Soviets, It’s not like that at all, which is really nice.”

The United Kingdom used Australia's public opinion to express its doubts about illegal immigrants from Latin America. Of course, Reagan knew it clearly. He had to admit that the post-war work of the United States in the competition for Australia was not satisfactory, but who can see the future?

How can an American know that there are such massive mineral resources underground in Australia?

Since the United States didn't know, the United States faced the influx of British capital in haste, and it was too late when it reacted. The most surprising thing is that they fought two world wars~www.wuxiaspot.com~Britain was able to hold its ground, left a few high-quality assets, realized most of the colonies, and still maintains the status of a world power frame.

Britain and France, the representatives of the old imperialism, maintained considerable strength, and Reagan had to temporarily compromise on some issues in exchange for unified support for the Soviet Union.

At this moment, he saw the Soviet Union spitting at Britain, of course he expressed his happiness, but on the surface, Reagan still had to listen to what the Europeans thought and what the British thought in public, even if he didn’t like it .

As soon as Nancy heard it, she knew that Reagan was complaining about pardoning Latin American immigrants, and asked, "It seems that you have given up on this idea."

"Of course not. I will still pardon Latin American immigrants at the right time." Reagan said confidently, "They will definitely become loyal supporters of the Republican Party in the future, they will."

On January 1st, New Year's Day, President Reagan and the First Secretary of the Soviet Union sent New Year's greetings to each other's people through television, indicating that the relationship between the two superpowers has shown signs of improvement.
