Chapter 1370: Re-election of the Prime Minister

The goal does not have to be set too big, it can be put on top of guaranteeing the human rights of the Bengalis in East Pakistan, there are two advantages of doing so, the Bengalis are also Pacifists, and the main ethnic groups in Malaya, the colony that Britain is now doing its best to keep, are the Chinese and the Malays.

Because of the same religious beliefs, the Malays are certainly sympathetic to the Bengalis, and the Chinese and the Pacifist world have no hatred.

The Arab countries around the Persian Gulf, the other focus of the operation, could be said to have a worse view of India in this world than the world Alan Wilson remembers since the last Indo-Pakistani war when an oil embargo was imposed on India, and in fact it was never good in the first place.

The Hindu and Pacifist worlds have had good relations all the way back to the days of British India, a time when British India was large and populous, and the Pacifist world had not gotten rich on oil. The Arab countries were as poor as they were, and naturally had no capital to look down on Hindus, but from the time of oil wealth, this premise no longer exists.

In the eyes of the world of the religion of peace, India, a big and colorful country is far more hateful than a big country, after all, nearly one-fifth of the population is a member of the religion of peace, but also dare to play ultra-nationalism to discriminate against members of the religion of peace, walk around the world is also such a unique one.

What do you mean by extreme nationalism, the Congress Party period of India can only be said to be nationalism, the latter old fairy period of India can be said to be extreme nationalism, with a relatively simple example, India’s nationalism discriminates against cow-eating religions, that is, the spearhead of the pacifists, although it is also very laughable, but there is a reason for the incident.

Hinduism promotes vegetarianism, and Hindu ultra-nationalism has communities that discriminate against all meat-eating groups, which strikes at a wide range of people, and Sikhs and Christians are also included in the discrimination.

If Britain sends in troops to pick the peaches when India and Pakistan are decided, and externally the city is declared to be safeguarding the human rights of independent Bengalis, this is a justification that would be acceptable to the pacifist world.

“Sounds good.” Harold Wilson listened to the analysis of the head of the civil service, also felt that after India and Pakistan decided to win, Britain seized the newly independent Bengalis this gap to send troops, should be regarded as not much of a problem, but also have to consider India’s perception, there is also a factor, behind Pakistan is a certain big country support. Britain’s Comet airliner was handed over by Pakistan.

“In fact, the Bengalis are also a large ethnic group in India, except that the Bengalis in India envelope Hinduism, so it can be judged that India will not annex East Pakistan, once the annexation will change the political map within India. As for the country that gave India humiliation in 1962, we also have Chinese troops.” Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, “Actually, our relationship with them is not bad, not an enemy.”

Relying on the fact that he had been threatening a big country every now and then, pulling Chinese troops to Africa for ethnic cleansing if they dared to touch Malaya, the relationship between the two countries had been steady to good.

In sending troops to rescue the Bengalis from the fire, the British mainland is an outsider, and the Chinese and Malays have no friendship with India, and there is no public opinion backlash.

Will not offend the Arab countries, so that this matter is only in the government’s whim, even if India, but also will not annex East Pakistan, sooner or later or to withdraw troops, then add the British army to host justice a little, nothing wrong.

And one of the supporters behind Pakistan also has the United States, the British army to move to stop the Indian army to fully occupy East Pakistan, at least the United States will not oppose. The only opposition might be the Soviet Union, and with the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union, even a bit of confrontation would make sense, not to mention that it wouldn’t really come to blows.

“Things haven’t evolved that far.” Harold Wilson had some intentions, and if the Indo-Pakistani war really went the way the Cabinet Secretary said it would, there was nothing wrong with the British Army showing what Britain could do.

There would always be people who were not, well fed, saying that he, the Prime Minister, was a Soviet spy, and a demonstration of Britain’s military power when necessary could dispel such unfounded accusations.

“Then I’ll have the Ministry of Defense draw up a plan, a plan that, well, won’t necessarily be used.” Alan Wilson expressed preparedness in a relaxed tone, and the Prime Minister nodded after a moment’s thought.

With the vintage ships of the Royal Pacific Fleet, it would be possible to transport a force of 10,000 men and land them in the Bay of Bengal, not to mention the presence of the British fleet in the Persian Gulf.

Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker then came to 10 Downing Street, Alan Wilson and the other side said hello, and then retired, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary to talk about, the transfer of the Suez Canal, Harold Wilson decided to wait until after the election.

This time against the Conservative Party leader Edward Heath, who had defeated Profumo, after Eden had lost the last election and resigned as leader of the party, his successor Douglas Holme resigned as leader of the party, and Edward Heath’s unexpected victory over his opponent made him the leader of the Conservative Party.

June 18th saw the start of the 1970 annual general election, and Alan Wilson went out for a trip with his arm around his wife, who had long been indifferent to the occasional general election.

The two decided to opt for a spin in the Aegean Sea, for a long time Alan Wilson had a dead look on his back, this time he took the initiative to accompany Pamela Mountbatten for a spin, much to the delight of the richest woman in the world.

To the port of Pailou, she was infected with Greece’s vitality, Athens is the Mediterranean Sea’s big port, thousands of years ago, their shipping dominated the sea world. Hundreds of ships of all sizes come and go, people are busy making a living at the docks, and travelers are wandering around. It’s a constant rotation.

Between the islands and Athens were superliners that supplied the countless tourists and necessities of the islands, and could hold hundreds of cars in their bellies. Young travelers sunbathe on the second and third decks, sitting and lying in groups as if no one else was there.

Most of them were half-sleeping, enjoying the sun and the sea breeze, but only two pairs of men and women were energetic, gesticulating and chatting all the time, and from time to time, someone gave them impatient glances, which they were happy to do. Standard American style, standard American English.

The upper deck was shrouded by a large parasol Allen Wilson, hand dragged his chin looking at a few Americans, do not know what to think, can not be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, at least it is a special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.

“With the current polls, the Labor Party’s re-election is likely to be very large, this so-called youngest Heath party leader has little hope.” Alan Wilson shook off a few dragging bottles in a good mood, all without the prudence of Whitehall and shying away from words.

“Which party are you leaning towards in your heart, in fact most of our friends are leaning towards the Tories in their hearts.” Pamela Mountbatten allowed herself to be led by her husband, which reminded her of the time of her first acquaintance.

“Most of your friends, don’t like the Labor Party supposedly because there are voices in the Labor Party that have adopted a republican system. But just because their voices exist doesn’t necessarily mean anything.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to reassure that it was still unlikely that Britain would adopt a republic, at least in the present reign of Her Majesty the Queen, but of course that African baboon was out of the question.

In the 1920s, two republican motions had been put forward at the Labour Party’s annual conference, one of which demanded that the British Crown should no longer be a constitutional necessity in the UK, but of course such a motion had not been formally adopted, and the Labour leader at the time had argued that, although he himself was in favor of a republic, the abolition of the monarchy was not ripe for it, and it didn’t constitute a major contradiction in terms of what was going on in that period.

Before the Second World War, when Edward VIII was deposed because of his insistence on marrying the American Mrs. Simpson, James Maxton, then an independent Labour MP, had proposed that a republican amendment should be added to the deposition bill, suggesting that the United Kingdom should inaugurate a republic after the deposition of Edward VIII, and a total of five MPs at the time supported the proposal.

The claims of that coterie at the moment were probably something along the lines of Britain leaving the EEC, unilateral nuclear disarmament, withdrawing from NATO, no more revenue policy, state regulation of all British industry, enthronement of thousands of peers, and the complete abolition of the House of Lords. Transform Britain into the last bastion of radical socialism in old Europe.

How could the influence of such a proposition possibly be extended, although he agreed that this was indeed the peak phase of Labour’s rule and that Harold Wilson was very good at elections.

Unsurprisingly, the two are still in Greece, and this British election has come to an end, and the victory of the Labor Party can be said to be a surprise, winning by thirty-three seats over the Conservative Party, although it is not as big a victory as the last time, but the extra seats are enough to establish an advantage, and it is unlikely that there will be any surprises in the thirty-odd seats that will have to be filled by-elections.

Edward Heath, who should have beaten Harold Wilson in history, also failed to lead the Conservative Party to a miracle, and Labor’s rule seems to last for a while.

The two, who had escaped the domestic clamor, learned of the election results, and Pamela Mountbatten smiled and said, “It seems you were right, the Conservatives did lose.”

“Have you read the campaign claims of the former Education Secretary, Margaret Thatcher?” Alan Wilson cocked his head and replied, “Apart from removing the free supply of milk to schoolchildren, and cutting funding to public universities.”

“What’s wrong with that? Is that a factor in this Tory defeat?” Pamela Mountbatten asked in disbelief, “But it’s not surprising that such claims make her unpopular.”

“A disadvantage now might not turn into an advantage later, maybe she’ll become Britain’s first female Prime Minister later.” Alan Wilson was also surprised that Margaret Thatcher was about to slam the brakes on liberalism in the 1970s, “By the way, if that ever happens and the wave of privatization kicks in, it’s time for you to go further again.”

“I’m suddenly looking forward to that day.” Pamela Mountbatten smiled broadly after hearing this, making a longing gesture, “I think Mrs. Thatcher might be a good person!”

Once the wave of privatization begins, it will represent countless opportunities, money and glory, which are even more within reach for those who are prepared.
