Chapter 134: The Senior and the Junior

For the current situation in the British-occupied areas, the ruling party in London is not all doubtful, so it sent the Labor Party’s new star to come to the British-occupied areas to take a trip, Wilson himself is a former civil servant origin, to this task in the appropriate but.

Similarly, in turn, the current British Occupied Territories Board of Trade, naturally, this former civil servant, now the parliamentary secretary of the next member of parliament, the heart of the very resistant, as a civil servant when it is our people, but after becoming a politician has become their people.

The bottom line is that such a person who used to make us, is now their person and knows us very well. The saddest thing in the world touches more than that.

It seemed to the two Under-Secretaries that Allen Wilson belonged to the category of the ignorant, and was just in a position to shrug things off.

But Alan Wilson does not think so, if you can be familiar with the other party when Harold Wilson is still a member of the Lower House of Parliament, to establish a certain network, wait until after Wilson as prime minister, their own no matter what position, it is not bad.

For this Labor Prime Minister, Alan Wilson once heard a paragraph to describe, “is a complete academic, Oxford professor, as the leader of the Labor Party, a day of manual labor have not done, like brandy rather than not beer, like cigars rather than pipes, and cigars are precisely the symbol of the bourgeoisie, so will be in the election campaign with a pipe in order to show that the pro-people. ”

Hadlow Wilson didn’t have to cross the channel by boat and experience the hardships of Dunkirk as Allen Wilson had done when he arrived; the war had been over for three months, and Hanover’s military airfield had been cleared out, improving efficiency considerably.

The airport was not a large one, nothing like when Edward Bridges, the Cabinet Secretary, arrived in Berlin. Only Alan Wilson was waiting, along with a few aides, including Mark the Horse.

Even though Harold Wilson was a Lower Member of Parliament and Secretary of Parliament, it really didn’t matter to many people.

There were several hundred lower members of parliament, not to mention that Harold Wilson could only be considered to have just come into prominence, and was neither senior nor particularly prestigious in parliament.

It is possible that after a long time, the so-called lower members of Congress will disappear without a trace once there is a change of term. It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, and it happens all the time.

Hadlow Wilson walked slowly down from the military plane, still holding the pipe he carried in his hand, as a twenty-nine year old MP, a rising star in the British Empire’s political arena, he still behaved in a very decent manner.

Having worked as a civil servant, he also understood how bad his former colleagues were to deal with.

“Honorable Secretary of Congress, welcome to Hanover, it’s a bit sketchy right now.” Alan Wilson greeted him, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, he always felt that the future Prime Minister Wilson, face and the United States of America’s President Wilson is somewhat similar, I don’t know if it’s a relative relationship a few hundred years ago.

For the pickup only a few, Harold Wilson did not mind, in his opinion this is also very normal, directly asked, “I believe that everyone is in the middle of the busy, I am just examining the British-occupied area, go back for the prime minister as a decision-making reference.”

“It’s like this, Congress Secretary, the current British Occupation Zone has been devastated, and colleagues are exhausting themselves every single day, hating the fact that the next day the British Occupation Zone is miraculously on the right track.” Alan Wilson nodded, following Harold Wilson as he walked along, “The language problem alone is a consideration, and a number of colleagues are teaching themselves German. The need to master a foreign language is extremely important at this time of year.”

“They’re learning a foreign language?” Harold Wilson questioned, then nodded in realization, “Indeed learning a foreign language is more important to work in Germany, if you don’t have a good grasp of the German language, there may be ambiguities when issuing orders, and this is something that London is worried about.”

“Of course, even if I have nothing to do, I still need to learn a foreign language.” Alan Wilson thought of Isabella’s German teacher, and a knowing smile couldn’t help but appear on his face, and his whole person looked very gentle.

“I’ve heard that there’s a campaign going on in the British Occupied Territories aimed at getting German women to shoulder the burden of rebuilding Germany?” Walking out of the airport and getting into the car, Harold Wilson asked with interest, “How is the progress so far? Is it working?”

“Very effective, according to the progress so far, Bonn is the fastest progress, the city cleanup is almost completed. Of course what can’t be denied in this is that Bonn’s city is not large, and the damage is not too severe, many of the facilities are operational.” Alan Wilson said honestly, “But I believe this is a good start.”

“Indeed!” Harold Wilson nodded affirmatively, “In fact, whether the damage is serious or not, the Germans elsewhere have no idea, the Germans whose greatest wish is to have enough to eat should not have the leisure to investigate, the fact that we are reporting on Bonn as a role model is enough to prove that the work is going well.”

Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, it was a shame that Harold Wilson had left his job as a civil servant, having to get involved in the middle of the sinister world of politics, the future British Empire had one less servant of the people.

However, this is not a bad thing, Alan Wilson felt that this time is an opportunity, that is why he took the initiative to ask for help to receive Harold Wilson, because Harold Wilson, who is still a member of parliament, is really a powerful character.

Standby Queen’s favorite and best personal friend of the Prime Minister is Wilson without a doubt. Wilson retired when the queen broke the rules to go to Downing Street to participate in the dinner hosted by the prime minister, in addition to Wilson, only Churchill enjoyed this treatment when he retired. It can be said that Wilson is the only prime minister who has become friends with the Queen in the general sense.

Of course the worst relationship between any Prime Minister and the Queen was undoubtedly Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher’s liberal reforms and welfare cuts led Britain towards a financial economy.

Alan Wilson won’t comment on the consequences first, but the families of workers who opposed Thatcher even went to Buckingham Palace on several occasions to present petitions to the Queen asking her to put pressure on Thatcher, that is, understanding their differences and thinking that the Queen could speak for herself.

When Margaret Thatcher was in charge, the Queen’s position became important again, and many Britons even expected the Queen to tell the nasty woman to get lost.

“Oh yes, Alan, I heard that you have experience working in British India.” Harold Wilson asked after listening to Alan Wilson’s briefing, “What do you think about the current plan about economic recovery, I heard that you have seen this plan.”

More than having seen it, that’s me! Allen Wilson slandered in his mind and spoke without pause, “I have heard slightly about the economic revitalization plan, and individually from my point of view, it is a very good plan. It is very good to take the strengths and complement the weaknesses of each other between the German British Occupation and British India.”

“The economy of the country is as uneven as the coldness and warmth of the earth, and I heard a saying when I was in Hong Kong that you live off the mountain and live off the water. Fishermen exist right on the seashore, and you can’t expect fishermen to farm the land. Since Germany has this industrial base and British India has a huge demand, it is logical to connect them together as part of the economic revitalization of the British Empire.”

“It’s like the Industrial Revolution, for the use of coal facilitated the development of the steam engine. But there are many countries in this world that don’t have coal, like Latin American countries, so how can you have an industrial revolution without coal?”

“A very novel way of thinking about the problem.” Harold Wilson expressed his appreciation for Alan Wilson, who was a scholar from Oxford University, and once he heard that Alan Wilson was also a student of Oxford University, he just hadn’t graduated yet and couldn’t help but say, “The war delayed your studies, but it also worked out your working ability, and now that the war has come to an end, there have been quite a number of pre-war students going back to do their thesis lately, and when are you going to apply?”

“I think at this particular time, I think the university will be open until the end of the year as well.” Seeing Harold Wilson nodding, Alan Wilson was relieved and said, “So it’s all right for me to apply until the end of the year then? Thank you Oxford University for your flexibility.”

Because the two were senior and junior, as well as interspersed with exchanges between scholars and keyboard warriors. What was a hot potato in the eyes of Tim Brand and Harold did not burn Alan Wilson’s hand.

In the face of the learned Harold Wilson, Allen Wilson could only cope with the rich accumulation of the keyboard warrior. The reception of Harold Wilson showed no hostility at all.

“In fact, given the current level of technological development, any work is important during the post-war recovery phase. Once the recovery phase is complete, it’s possible that the European countries will be fiercely competitive again.” Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders, “At that time, either work efficiency will be increased or welfare will be raised, there is actually another way.”

“What way?” Harold Wilson asked with great interest, very interested in the whimsical ideas in Alan Wilson’s head.

“It’s like the British Empire positioned British India for industrial transfer.” Alan Wilson embarrassed to say, of course, this is only my personal idea, “in fact, just as the textile industry, the textile industry is almost no threshold, any country want to do can do, from our British Empire experience can also be seen, first of all, is the use of textile machines, the textile center of Asia, the Indian textile industry destroyed. ”

“The textile industry is almost as long as the history of mankind, and it is the industry with the lowest threshold. It can be developed in almost any country!”

Product Life Cycle Theory suggests that all sectors of industry, and all kinds of industrial products, are at different stages of development in the life cycle, i.e., they go through four stages: innovation, development, maturity, and decline.

“If the British Empire finds industries that can be developed, and sheds the textile industry, which can be developed in any country, it will then be as if the textile machines of the British Empire were confronted with the manual weaving of India. We might export one airplane and get back millions of shirts.”
