Chapter 1438 – I’m Your Father

Alan Wilson happened to come out of Ten Downing Street and reported on a number of issues regarding the claims dialog in Northern Ireland, the civil war in Southern Rhodesia, the reconstruction of Bangladesh, and the discussions at the Paris Coordinating Committee.

Recently he came to 10 Downing Street quite a bit more frequently, but it does not matter, not afraid of more things, but afraid of nothing, the Prime Minister once idle is prone to overthinking, although the Labour Prime Minister wants to nationalize from time to time, and does not jeopardize the status and interests of Whitehall, but in case of a long period of time of leisure, there is always the possibility of accidents.

“Concerning the British position at the EEC meeting, we still don’t want any change in Finland’s status, and if Paris insists that the EEC needs an observer state, it would also be better to get Moscow’s acquiescence, but even if Moscow acquiesces, it would be better for Finland to stop at the observer state stage forever. As for Ireland, it is to be hoped that the member states of the EC will, as always, give Britain their firm support. Ireland is not fit to be a member of the EEC under the realities of a disputed border.”

Greeting Wick with a few instructions, Alan Wilson packed up and prepared to leave for work, there was no thought of having a drink today, and having been surprisingly emaciated by drink, it was necessary to abstain from alcohol.

“The case about Glasgow is making it more difficult for the justices right now.” Under Wick whispered and opened his mouth, he was working in the Foreign Office, this was actually not related to his work, but wasn’t this an opportunity to get closer to the Supreme Authority, he knew that this Supreme Authority was actually very gossipy.

“That case wasn’t it, the Glasgow crash. Was the point of contention whether or not the death penalty was imposed?” Alan Wilson laughed cheerfully, “The death penalty was not abolished, but it has not been carried out for many years. In fact, this case happened in Scotland just right, some of the sentences would have been resisted a bit more if they were on the English side instead. Within Scotland there’s no problem, we need a precedent, but it’s better not to do it ourselves and show that the death penalty still exists, so tell the Scottish Supreme Court to go boldly by not jumping the obvious guidance.”

There has been a fall in Glasgow, not really a complicated case, council officers were carrying out maintenance on a residential building and the rope that was lifting it was cut by a pair of scissors.

That’s the full story, with all the human and physical evidence in broad daylight, which wouldn’t be controversial in any other country, but is it on the side of the free world?

Alan Wilson firmly put all kinds of calls for the abolition of the death penalty on the shelf, simply did not let this appeal on the parliament, for this reason in the first few years of Radwicky also looked for the murderer released from prison to kill again, and even blood washed the Indian community, this atrocious act naturally want to criticize, of course, Whitehall magnanimously, even if it is to kill again, and did not sentenced to capital punishment.

But this time is different, municipal staff is a civil servant, half a million people’s honorable collective, this time less a pillar of talent, even if it is not now, may be in the future, how can this be?

As a group that aspires to benefit society, they face this kind of treatment? It was almost as if Whitehall was not in their sights.

“Secretary General, there is also an official letter from the Soviet Embassy, the Soviet Ambassador wishes to meet recently.” Wick handed the document in his hand to the Supreme Authority, clearly this was his job.

“Well, I’ll read it when I get back. Brewster will manage this, don’t let public opinion get too concerned about this isolated incident, and it’ll all fall into place in time.” Alan Wilson took the file and lifted his wrist just as the end of the day was approaching, so he said hello to Wick and walked out of Whitehall, Radwick was already waiting outside, and soon the Silver Spirit started up to head off.

Since it was a formal meeting, the normal procedure was followed, however Alan Wilson was flipping through the official letter when he saw a familiar name, the majority of the year wasn’t so bad that he had forgotten the identity of the good Dahl.

“Seems like it hasn’t been that long since he returned home.” Alan Wilson blinked, what could it be? Could it be to express congratulations for his half-brother’s official enlistment in the Rhineland Legion in Germany?

That should be unlikely, but Allen Wilson couldn’t really guess what the purpose was, there had been more chores over the past year, and while it was good to get the Prime Minister worked up, it didn’t mean that Allen Wilson would be able to be a bystander, he had twenty-four hours on his hands as well, no more than anyone else.

“Food?” Knowing the Soviet ambassador’s intention, Allen Wilson did not see the face of the good Dahl, he knew that this is just a contact, only served to indicate the intention of the visit, and of course will not give any commitment, “I’m just a Cabinet Secretary, in a couple of days we will give a reply.”

This not-so-long meeting opened up an opportunity for backroom maneuvering afterward, and Alan Wilson decided not to inform the prime minister of what was going on for the time being, but to wait for a meeting with Alexeyev.

The second meeting came right away, a goodbye for half a year, the good Daer actually did not change much, this time alone Allen Wilson directly opened the mockery mode, “Another shortage of food? Look at you a good superpower, but because of the food problem over to beg the imperialist countries in your mouth?”

“We need Britain’s help, and it’s best to stay out of contact with the United States.” Alexeyev heard his old father’s cynicism, in his heart he was reluctant but could only listen, the situation was stronger than the people.

“Heh, that’s unrealistic. Depends on what your food deficit is.” Alan Wilson lightly grunted, if the usual year’s two to three million tons of imports, then surely it’s not difficult at all, just a Rhodesian royal territory can be solved, but if the gap is too large? How do you get around the United States?

The world’s most powerful agricultural country is the United States, in fact, if the Soviet Union is not all aspects and the United States do not seedlings, give up some of the industry to focus on solving the problem of agriculture, the Soviet Union, even if it can not be an agricultural empire, to do agricultural products self-sufficiency is also no problem at all.

“What is the use of the Soviet Union to hold on to the name of the world’s first textile power? Hmm? Move your textile industry out of the country, use the empty manpower on planting land, do less to feed grain to livestock, and reform the transportation problem, what’s the point of being like this?” Can also see that the good big children are not willing to beg in a low voice, Alan Wilson nonchalantly opened his mouth to teach, “Artificially suppressed food prices, resulting in price inversion, who still go to plant the land? I will not mention the Soviet Union’s foreign aid largesse.”

At least there are more than ten years of Sino-Soviet honeymoon period, have not heard from the East comrades side of the grain cheap hurt farmers this sentence?

A certain big country that had no choice but to have too much population and had to make sure that food was affordable for everyone. The USSR also had population pressure? Although the USSR’s population was also among the top three in the world, it had absolutely nothing to do with population pressure.

“We did think about transferring it, people didn’t want it, they felt that the Soviet Union was exploiting them.” Alexeyev’s face was very unpleasant, if this were in the Soviet Union who would dare to reprimand him like this? But not really in London, the man in front of him was still able to reprimand him without any temper.

“Oh, I know which country you are talking about.” Alan Wilson knew at first hearing that it wasn’t a certain big country, wasn’t it? There was indeed something to be said for not wanting to be the Soviet Union’s light industrial base.

To say that there was something different? In fact, there is no, except that it is determined not to be the light industrial base of the Soviet Union, and then went headlong to be the light industrial base of the free world to go.

This level can not be avoided, is an inevitable stage, not to do the Soviet Union to do the free world side, of course, can choose not to do, this is a free world.

See the good Dahl heart uncomfortable, Alan Wilson more vigorously, show the traditional skills of British diplomacy is this moment, and Alexeev recalled the Soviet Union side of the development of relations between the two countries. When the Soviet Union wanted détente, people said it was capitulationism, and when the Soviet Union wanted to start a global offense, people said it was better to détente.

“What? Am I lying about a single statement? Is every statement something that has happened in the last decade or so?”

Alan Wilson was so hard to seize such an opportunity to be able to find his father’s role, it was a gleeful, of course after so many years of being an official, he knew what it meant to be moderate, “Nowadays, satellite technology can only see the endless farmland, you can’t see whether or not the ears of wheat on it are full, and now at this time of the year what Moscow should be doing is to publicly state that it expects a big harvest, the There is only a shortfall of two to three million tons in a normal import year, and this amount is not enough to cause food fluctuations. I’ll take care of part of it for you, and the rest depends on how you can fool the Americans, and if Britain doesn’t make up enough of the shortfall, make an entry to sweep it up while prices are low.”

How much Allen Wilson could eat was not yet certain, but he had an idea and reminded, “This has to be hidden from any country with the best relations. When you go back, just say that you have probed the price of routine food imports in normal years, and don’t say much else. Have you been trained in counter-surveillance? No problem then.”

“I’m just going to go back?” Alexeyev was about to say something, was he done with the Moscow mission yet?

“Well, I’m your father, I won’t hurt you.” Alan Wilson said with a tone of you heard right, “Go back and think about how to operate, in finding excuses to come back.”

Urging the good oldest child to hurry back to Moscow, Allen Wilson calculates how to solve this problem, let the good oldest child hide the Soviet Union’s allies, because if he handles this matter, the Soviet Union if the allies and the allies leak the news, it will increase the cost of Britain’s acquisition of food.

The first thing to do was to print money and then import wheat from the world’s two most populous countries, which was not impossible to do; given the current position of the chain, there was hardly anything in either country that Britain particularly needed.

Why is India playing hard to get to export food in the twenty-first century when it is topping up its very low food self-sufficiency? On the one hand, because the Indian people do eat less, but this is not the main reason, another reason is that India only food is hard currency, the rest almost no fist product is Europe and the United States can not leave.

No competitiveness in the industry will appear this kind of thing, in fact, a large country for a period of time, is the same as India, with food exports for foreign exchange. Of course India is always in such a stage until Modi old fairy rule, that is a very serious problem.
