Chapter 1504 Secretary General and Party Leader

The current diplomatic situation is that since taking office, the Carter administration has been playing the human rights card, changing the diplomatic strategy that has been practiced by successive U.S. administrations since the Truman administration.

This was a self-defeating shift in Alan Wilson’s eyes, indicating that the United States had begun to move away from realism and instead accelerated its shift to the Soviet Union’s use of ideas to unite the country, making strides toward the path that the Soviet Union had already practiced, which simply meant that the slogans of democracy and freedom were shouted louder and louder, and that it began to compete with the Soviet Union for the power of chanting the scriptures.

The original policy was based on anti-Sovietism as the first priority, and the rulers of various countries were able to gain strong support from the United States as long as they followed the American ideology of the Cold War against the Soviet Union. In other words, regardless of whether you violated human rights or not, as long as you disliked everything about the Soviet Union, then you were a friend of my United States.

Guided by such principles, the U.S. government has either overtly or covertly cultivated many dictators in Latin America.

Now obviously not, Brezhnev is leading the Soviet Union in the world to attack, no matter in Asia, Africa and Latin America are the Soviet Union’s support of the guerrilla figure, the United States backed a series of military governments, dictators have been a little dysfunctional, of course, with the exception of the Middle East, from the oil crisis after the Middle East countries in the economic situation is greatly improved, the local is temporarily can be at ease.

But in many areas where the ratio of resources and population is not very rich, relying only on a small group of American fans, is not enough to extinguish the fire of the stars can start a prairie fire of the revolutionary situation, it must be used with a more flexible wrist to confront only, strategic shift which is bound to pay a certain price, but this price must be paid.

The Soviet Union’s plot to subvert the free world is no longer convincing enough, why so many countries have emerged so many pro-Soviet forces in combat, since President Truman summarized the Soviet conspiracy, the phenomenon has been somewhat ineffective.

Not to mention the fact that the U.S. directly sent troops to fight this conspiracy in Vietnam and lost Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in quick succession.

Given the choice, even the Carter administration was reluctant to admit that the free world might be a little bit of a tiny problem, but now he has to admit that the free world might be a little bit flawed as well.

Support for the family-centered Latin American ruling class was not enough to face this threat, and the U.S. wanted to broaden its support in Latin American countries, specifically in its treatment of the pro-U.S. dictatorship in Nicaragua, by using the suspension of aid as a bargaining chip to pressure Somoza for better human rights on the one hand, and reaching out to the moderate opposition in the country on the other.

Allen Wilson through the Five Eyes Coalition knew of this shift, he still has a limit in favor of Carter’s response strategy, only on the part of the chanting some doubts, but this is the United States of America, as long as the United Kingdom do not also follow the United States along with the chanting of the scriptures on the line, although from Carter onwards, the United States of America’s liberal and democratic slogan shocked the heavens, but in addition to the Carter himself chanting the scriptures of the some of the sincerity of the other presidents really just chanting the scriptures.

It seems to be no problem, but I am afraid that the United States chanting the scriptures for a long time, will complete self-hypnosis.

His side is still reporting on Callahan’s achievements regarding the reform of Xiangjiang, but does not think that the local community has something to learn, Xiangjiang is after all just a bullet-ridden place, and the local community is still different. Simply put, Whitehall recognizes that there are some achievements in Xiangjiang’s reforms, but hastily transplanting them to the mainland may not suit the soil, simply put, there is nothing to change in the mainland.

You, the Prime Minister, do not even dare to take a strong stance on the issue of workers marching for pay rises, so what reforms are there to be made? Obviously asking for trouble.

The former supreme authority, Norman Brooke, once taught Alan Wilson the saying that the principle of neutrality is not just about keeping a distance between the ruling party and the opposition party, but there are ways to reach out at the same time, and Norman Brooke is clearly practicing the latter, maintaining a close relationship with the top brass of both parties.

Alan Wilson must also, from time to time, and the opposition party to maintain the necessary contact, used to increase mutual trust, for the Conservative Party to attack the Whitehall all kinds of bureaucratic rhetoric, which is not some misunderstanding?

In order to eliminate the embarrassment between the two, the meeting place is darker is also very normal, turn off the lights, light candles is also precisely to avoid the embarrassing atmosphere between each other.

“Attacks on civil servants would be quite unjustified, are we still wrong to implement the ruling party’s decisions? Honorable party leader, you can’t be avoiding the issue, in order to avoid controversy, so you pick us who have no ability to fight back and use it to divert the conflict, if that’s the case, then we people are really unlucky. Always being played by you politicians.” Alan Wilson shook the goblet in his hand and looked at the red transparent liquid in it and complained.

“Does Sir think he’s been wronged?” Mrs. Thatcher’s gaze was a bit dazed, the current scene had to make her recall some dusty memories in the depths, and she began to speak without thinking.

“To say that I am wronged is a little true, but I do not particularly feel wronged. It’s just that after comparing the positive contributions to the country, and after thinking about what might not have been done enough, I can still do it, and stand up proudly in front of the Tory party leader. And the civil service community shouldn’t have to bear so much blame, they are anything but wrong.”

Alan Wilson’s invitation to Margaret Thatcher to appear was not a war cry, and indeed which top echelons, whether Conservative or Labor, are clean? Even if they were clean, even former Defense Secretary Profumo could roll over, couldn’t he absorb useful experience as he did? After all these years, he has done what he should have done.

In fact, it is precisely in view of the old acquaintance, Alan Wilson does not want to go to war with Margaret Thatcher, nor does he feel that he is the great emperor of the world, anyway, in the United Kingdom in addition to Her Majesty the Queen, there is no can do with him to the limit of one for another, which also includes Margaret Thatcher.

If there is a misunderstanding, all can be talked about, there is nothing that can not be talked about, do not expand the striking surface, moving to expand the party conflict to the neutral group, this kind of polarization operation is not desirable.

“You’re not involved at all in the policies of the Labor Party? And Whitehall’s checks and balances on policy have been exaggerated, just to watch the Labor government take Britain step by step into the middle of the Soviet system?” Mrs. Thatcher sneered.

“Margaret, where does that come from? As a matter of fact if it really goes my way, I’m thinking of buying myself a Rolls Royce to give to Brezhnev himself, seeing as how the Soviet Union is so generous to a lot of the third world, providing so many resources without blinking an eye, and if it were the United Kingdom it would probably give even more.”

Alan Wilson shook his head very helplessly, unfortunately some invisible rules, or limit the imagination of politicians in governance above.

Once the granite-like brains of many politicians were cut open, they were as empty as jellyfish? What can he do about this?

“It seems that the Cabinet Secretary, is very willing to see the British Empire, prostrate at the feet of the Soviets.” The corner of Mrs. Thatcher’s mouth curled up slightly, opening her mouth to sneer at the man in front of her, “A world power, surrendering to its greatest enemy, and still complacent about it.”

“A world power? Well, to be fair, the current UK does still hold up to that assessment. Reminds me of when, under Prime Minister Aidan, I was adamantly opposed to Defense Secretary Duncan’s disarmament practices.”

Alan Wilson thought again of Churchill’s son-in-law former Defense Secretary Duncan, “Actually the Conservative Party is pretty much like the Labor Party in that respect. It’s really a question of how much of the so-called world powers, as they were advocated at the time, are still left to become, so where’s the conversation today?”

“Don’t think I might be rather critical of the Tories, I’ll just mention one simple example, that 1984 book was not banned in the US or the USSR, but Aidan gave it a ban in deference to Churchill’s views. This is simply the biggest joke in the world and the maker of this joke happens to be my home country, it really brings tears of laughter to think about it.”

At the end of the day Alan Wilson isn’t exactly saying that Whitehall isn’t to blame, but the main responsibility, of course, lies with the politicians who make the policy. Whether this is something Mrs. Thatcher wants to hear or not is her problem.

If Mrs. Thatcher wants to hold Whitehall to account, then it would be better to be fair, and since civil servants’ responsibility is to be pursued, then politicians’ responsibility should also be pursued. It would be a big problem if only civil servants were pursued for accountability and not politicians.

It is not possible for political parties not to engage in mutual liquidation for the sake of smooth operation of the rules? And then what? Liquidate the civil servants who implement policies? How and when did Britain learn from Mr. Zhaoming to save the country on a curve?

If Mrs. Thatcher felt that civil servants could be used as a scapegoat, used to avoid tearing up the Labour Party, and at the same time serve as a good target to quell civil discontent.

Then Alan Wilson is going to have to talk about the matter of how many British-owned industries the wartime Cabinet sold off cheaply in the first place in conjunction with the American Lend-Lease Act.

“Margaret, we are not enemies, in fact, only the close cooperation between the political officers and the affairs officers will make this country better and better.” Alan Wilson took the initiative to open his mouth to show his goodwill, “The country can be adjusted if it has problems, it doesn’t need to be done in such a drastic way, otherwise what’s the difference with the Soviet Union that upholds the idea of revolution? Only that their revolution killed people, your thoughtful approach that takes into account the big picture and careful consideration doesn’t kill people?”

“Sir, it’s better to call me Mrs. Thatcher.” Mrs. Thatcher corrected gravely, then said, “Don’t I see that the beneficiaries of nationalization are the civil servants?”

“That’s an absolute mistake, the beneficiaries of the privatization movement can be civil servants if we want them to be.” Alan Wilson shook his head in denial, “So this accusation is just plain ridiculous. Of course, Whitehall’s willingness to work with successive governments and be in the midst of political neutrality for the benefit of society will not change.”

Alan Wilson just made the bottom line clear, hoping that Mrs. Thatcher would not use civil servants as scapegoats, otherwise he would not cooperate with the other side, if he could get along, if the Conservative Party ever came to power in the future, he would certainly become a strong support behind Mrs. Thatcher.
