Chapter 1498 – Qualified Civilian Chief

President Carter was perfect for such diplomatic occasions calling for peace, Allen Wilson, if he remembered correctly, Carter was famous for being hardworking and able to run, literally running all over the world after being the president, resolving one disagreement after another.

Carter would have been a widely respected president if he had become president at a time when the United States was strong and crushing other countries.

But now, at a time when the post-war generation of the Soviet Union is fully grown, and when the United States has lost too much blood after the Vietnam War, President Carter is not facing the usual pressures.

The issue of Southern Rhodesia is perfect for Carter’s intervention, and Britain can handle it on its own, but if Carter expresses a willingness to help, Britain’s idea of partition will undoubtedly be easier to achieve.

This matter does not need to operate through diplomatic channels, from the intelligence system can be communicated, the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency is George W. Bush, that realist conservative, Reagan that Alzheimer’s after the U.S. President, is in the field of intelligence for the U.S. contribution.

How can a strategic transition be that easy? Carter wasn’t responsible for a lot of things as president, it’s just that he had a really bad time as president, but he did at least manage to give a certain power a piece of mind.

Only then Reagan changed it back to a certain extent, resulting in a certain big country being whored out by the US in a certain sense.

To a certain extent how much better was King Knowles than Carter, although King Knowles always slammed Carter, but both did pretty much the same thing really, only with a different country to show goodwill. Carter is determined to improve the hostility of East Asia to focus on dealing with the Soviet Union, know the king is just want to reduce and Russia’s confrontation, focus on dealing with East Asia.

Can not really two fists to beat people, and not zipton period of the United States out of the world but seek a defeat, although Reagan changed a lot of Carter’s place, but did not all change back.

Just because a few decades have passed and because a major power has risen up does not mean that the decision made at the time was wrong.

Have MI6 inform CIA Director Bush of the current dilemma Britain faces in Africa, even though the dilemma doesn’t actually exist. Alan Wilson just wanted to white-knuckle a bit of American influence to endorse Britain’s partition attempts, but Britain could pretend there was a dilemma.

Grace, the Rhodesian royal territorial groundhog, also reluctantly left his lair for London, he had to come, Pamela Mountbatten had fished the knuckle dragger over on the grounds of discussing a marriage, how else could Grace not have come.

When Grace arrived, once he heard that the war situation in Southern Rhodesia was the subject, he was lacking in interest, “Our people are very conservative, Sophia is now following Albert, it can be said that all the things that should be done as a wife, it can not be kept like this.”

Grace has not yet fled Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia is still a purely agricultural country, Chetnik this is not bad, the Croatian Ustasha, advocates and Gandhi is almost the same, hope that their country is a self-sufficient agricultural country, agricultural countries are on the conservative side.

Now the Rhodesian royal territory is also almost no industry, the royal territory of the arsenal is the local industry.

Not mentioning his daughter’s future events and talking about the war situation in Southern Rhodesia gave the military leader a feeling of being deceived.

Pamela Mountbatten saw this and immediately soothed, “Grace don’t be anxious, there is nothing to talk about the marriage of the two, the main thing is that my daughter is still unsettled, the younger brother is first to get married, and this is? But you and Allen’s understanding is the same, he is a very practical person in the issue of marriage of his children, not at all consider what the influence of the upper class, everything from the position of strength.”

The richest woman made a solemn promise, the head of the family has set things in stone, as long as there is no problem with the good oldest child, then there is no problem at all, when the time comes, the marriage will be made.

What problem could Albert have? The biggest problem was that he thought life was just fine as it was, too good to be true.

“What’s Sir busy with, shouldn’t he be the one to step in if we’re talking about Africa?” Grace was still skeptical, the sight of the hundreds of thousands of them being stripped bare was still fresh in his mind.

“Lately Allen has been busy with salary adjustments.” Pamela Mountbatten replied directly, “There are a lot of things on both the labor union and the prime minister’s side, he can’t get away.”

Indeed Alan Wilson, who couldn’t get away on Anna’s side, labored to find a solution for Britain, and for that reason even sacrificed his personal honor and disgrace to please the spokesman of a foreign power.

“My dear, with the cost of labor in Britain now, can’t you see that it’s time to downsize Britain’s coal and steel industries? Both are sunset industries according to the current fashion. In fact it’s like Luxembourg is fine with a steel base, the UK’s population is obviously not comparable to Luxembourg’s. Division of labor, even the Soviet bloc knew that.”

Anna, who still had a red flush on her unclothed face, glanced at the man, “In today’s world, can you make a water deliveryman worth the same as an Oxford senior?”

“Of course I’m aware of the problem, but what’s the point of me knowing? The point is that the Prime Minister needs to know about it, but the Prime Minister doesn’t want to know about it right now.” Alan Wilson sighed, isn’t this the European version of industrial upgrading? There’s no way a major country can rely on an industry of 800 million shirts for Boeing to pay 10,000 a month for each worker.

Britain also can’t raise the coal workers’ salary even one-fifth higher than the German workers, some industry is so big value, can’t lose money to do it, lose money business is no one to do.

Not so big industries have to be high wages, for the current British especially big problem, which is known from the United States, the automobile kingdom was beaten by Japan.

The cost of labor in the US has reached a point where even the auto industry can’t carry the load, and the demands of the unions will just be the source of the industry’s collapse.

Alan Wilson thought he had done all he could for Britain, and the consequence of doing all he could was that Britain had run into the same problems that America had run into at about the same time. The trade unions, at this rate, would become a fifth column within British industry.

“Germany will be training industry to apply new jobs to industry, try that.” Anna suggested as she wrapped her arms around the neck of the Supreme Authority.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany exhaustively regulated the content of the contract signed between the apprentice and the enterprise, the qualifications of the master trainer, the nature of the training workshop, the content of the courses and the teaching hours of the thirteen categories of four hundred and fifty training specialties recognized by the state, as well as the system of exams, inspections, and so on.

All parties concerned must be strictly enforced, and violators should be prosecuted. Apprentice training in the United States and Japan, completely within the enterprise, while in two years in Germany by the enterprise and vocational schools are jointly responsible for, that is, in the enterprise to learn the actual operation, in the vocational school to learn the theoretical knowledge.

During the three years of apprenticeship, the apprentice learns three and a half to four days a week at the enterprise and one to one and a half days a week at the school. Apprentices’ living expenses are covered by the enterprise, but they are not considered regular employees of the enterprise. After graduation, they can either stay in the enterprise or work in other enterprises.

“Britain also has such a law, but it is not practiced.” Alan Wilson shook his head, in fact, which country did not have similar laws, it was only a matter of enforcement.

“That’s your problem then, dear.” Anna snorted and said, “Since the unions are asking for a wage increase, you shouldn’t have a problem raising the enforcement rate on that. One can’t just back down. If you ask me the British are still having too good a time, and really should take a strong stance when it’s appropriate to make them realize that the country has a bottom line too.”

“That’s a good point.” Although he didn’t get an answer from the Dragon Rider, Alan Wilson was still in a much better mood, holding the little Dragon Rider’s head and giving it a nibble.

“It’s all kissed off the skin.” Anna’s eyes waves of light flow, full of flavor rant up, but to stop the action is limited to the mouth, soon the red lips are also busy, do not care to stop.

And the struggle of the labor union, Allen Wilson still want to do their part, but Callaghan has already said that it can already accept the conditions of the labor union, and thanked the Whitehall in this in the middle of the defense of the government’s move, expressed gratitude to Allen Wilson, “The labor union side has already accepted the restriction of the weekly salary does not exceed five percent.”

“Honorable Prime Minister, now that you’ve made up your mind, what can I say. But people, they are all lustful, I’m afraid that the government’s compromise will be the beginning of a series of events.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and could only nod, “I’m afraid that pressurizing with strikes one after another will become a big problem in the future.”

The Labor Party’s situation in the late seventies was that it was constantly facing pressure from the unions, which were supporters of the Labor Party, so the Labor government didn’t dare to offend the unions too much.

The result was a lose-lose situation, with the Conservatives focusing on the unions when they came to power, dismantling Labor’s key support and making it a thousand times harder for Labor to come to power in the future.

But since Callaghan has decided, involving votes Allen Wilson opposition is useless, then he is going to use this to complete some of his own things, the implementation of the workers’ training increased, as well as the civil service pay rise plan are to be implemented.

“Civil servants to get a raise?” Callahan heard a disgruntled rhetorical question, “Sir, money is just a number to you, senior civil servants which monthly salary is very low? How come I don’t know.”

“My Prime Minister, you say that as if all half a million civil servants have a very wealthy wife. Don’t they support their families?” Alan Wilson explained with an expressionless face, “All of this is all entirely selfish on my part, and it’s something that has to be brought up; no one likes a civil servant chief who does nothing. If I do nothing, who will carry out my orders in the future.”

“Oh, and here is the draft for the Southern Rhodesia Round Table, if there are no problems I will have the Foreign Office send out invitations, though the invitation regarding President Carter may require the Prime Minister’s personal attention.”
