Chapter 1505 Europe’s Latin American Strategy
The two definitely shared a common language, such as how to deal with trade unions, half of all workers in Britain were in unions, the figure for public utilities was eighty percent, and ninety-five percent for the healthcare industry.
Alan Wilson could sense that once they got the sweet spot from a strike, the workers would not back down and would only get more and more aggressive.
Alan Wilson in the past two years is very tempted to go after the coal workers and steel workers, first of all, these two industries have more workers, and then the added value of these two industries is just so. The former has a large number of them and once confronted can be a great deterrent to other industries.
The latter, even if it deals a blow to industries, will not deal a fatal blow to high value-added industries like automobiles and aviation.
In other words, who let these two industries added value is not enough, there is no unification value it, Europe’s lack of resources, but coal and steel may be considered a relatively less lack of resources.
From this point on can see the significance of the existence of the third world countries, if the world does not have the existence of countries that do not have enough to eat, can let the wage level has not been able to retain the low-end industry of the developed countries, there is a catharsis, these workers can not afford to ride on the government’s head to shit?
After meeting with Margaret Thatcher, Alan Wilson is like nothing today, go home to the heart of the love of Pamela Mountbatten to express the center, and at the same time asked to enter the most populous market this matter, the richest woman to prepare for how it is?
“Are you really so sure?” Pamela Mountbatten is not that she does not believe her husband, but the fact that British capital had to be cut out of the market thirty years ago has to make her cautious.
“Trust me?” Alan Wilson inquired with a stern face, and when he saw his wife nod, he said, “Then there’s no problem, in fact, it’s not so difficult to look at the direction of the Soviet institutional state. Just look at their ****** content, you first get ready, then we will naturally see changes.”
“The point is can you check and balance them? My dear, I’m not doubting your knowledge, it’s just that you’ve said countless times that a country without a vast territory and a large population would have nothing else, but they have both.” Pamela Mountbatten cocked her head and asked rhetorically, “And we, do we have that to balance them?”
“Do you think we’re the only ones balancing them? What do the Americans do?” Alan Wilson laughed softly, “Britain has at best a Xiangjiang River, the United States owns much more in East Asia. For the US to be generous enough to equalize the Pacific Ocean, that would naturally be very bold, if it can’t do that, regardless of the relationship between the UK and the US, the interests on this point are the same. Of course it’s still not a sure thing, balancing a land power, or a country that thinks it’s a land power, has never been another land power, as it was with Germany and France before World War II, so the one that can balance it is actually?”
“The Soviets!” Pamela Mountbatten raised an eyebrow as she immediately reacted to who the country her husband was talking about actually was, “Those two countries are in the same camp.”
“That doesn’t mean anything.” Allen Wilson replied with an old-fashioned look on his face, “We are also in the same camp as France, national interests make it so, don’t approach it with such wishful thinking. It’s still too far to talk about it now, and it won’t bother us anytime soon.”
How about using a bit of capacity to fill up the circulation in the Sterling area first now, what’s the point of talking about the future when the immediate future is almost too far away?
For the Labor Party, apart from dealing with inflation, which is only average amongst the free world, there is one other thing that is important. Alan Wilson, of course, did not know that the Soviet side had formulated a Latin American strategy, although there was a good old son there, but both had to serve their own countries, and it was enough to know that each other existed.
However, the Labor Party has also developed a Latin American strategy, the Chilean Allende’s problem was finally resolved, the Labor Party held a Socialist International Conference in London, which allowed the Labor Party to see the opportunity to expand its influence, before that, the influence of the Socialist International was limited to Europe, and now the vast expanse of Latin America has entered the Socialist International’s sights.
The Socialist International is now ready to go out of Europe and rush into the world. After learning of this news from the Prime Minister’s political secretary, Alan Wilson made his usual expression of political neutrality, but immediately expressed a favorable thought.
Even if he didn’t know whether the Soviet Union had developed a Latin American strategy at this time, he was able to remember that the Soviet Union had indeed been messing around in Latin America in the late seventies, with the main point of attack being Nicaragua, next to Panama. It was useless for the Soviet Union to hide this point, and the Supreme Authority had learned it from memory.
If the Soviet Union can carry out the Latin American strategy of, Britain in the Soviet Union’s strategic cover, can also pursue their own Latin American strategy, of course, and not only Britain, but in the European tour of extensive influence in the socialist party international this organization, expanding the influence of a good opportunity.
He was still on very good terms with Callaghan’s last political secretary, and as for this new political secretary, through Bernard’s liaison, it was possible to achieve rapprochement as well.
The political secretary Herbert directly opened his mouth to request, “Secretary General, Bernard praised you for how keenly you recognize the international situation, this is not just a matter for the Labour Party, it is not just a matter for the Labour Party, it is a matter for Europe as well as a matter for the United Kingdom, and for the issue of Latin America, I hope that the Secretary General will be able to help us to find a good point of entry.”
“It is true, as you say Herbert, that this is not a party matter, and I am certainly willing to help, but it may take a few days.” Alan Wilson expressed his complete cooperation with the Cabinet, after all, he was only a humble social commons, even if he was neutral, he had to be guided by the interests of the country, the Prime Minister needed help, and it was only right that the Secretary General of the Cabinet should help.
Since the Socialist International was moving towards Latin America at this time, it wanted to promote democratic socialism there.
Since some of the dictatorships in Latin America at that time had the shadow of the U.S. business community behind them, for reasons of competition with the U.S., the Socialist International, which had always been opposed to violent revolutions in principle, should have made an exception for the struggles of the people of Latin America who had armed themselves against dictatorships, and decided to support the struggles of the FSLN in Nicaragua, the New Jewel Movement in Grenada, and the Revolutionary Democratic Front in El Salvador.
Allen Wilson quickly laid out this plan in two copies to Prime Minister Callaghan, and to Mrs. Bogina, the Grand Dragoon Rider, in London, where the Socialist International is headquartered, but Germany is also a country in which the Socialist International has a great deal of influence, and Brandt, who is now in power in Germany, is a Socialist.
Supporting the Socialist forces in Latin American countries can be fought against the fact that pluralistic politics, mixed economy and non-alignment, the core of the democratic socialism that the Socialist International promoted in Latin America, were established as the three founding principles of the country.
Muddying the waters under the Soviet Union’s Latin American strategy, though given that the UK had this relationship with the US after all, it may be that Callaghan was ultimately reluctant to adopt it, but that’s okay, the Germans could be an alternative.
“You’re not pushing Germany against the US, are you?” Like a beautiful snake, Bokina cast a death-wrap around the man, as if considering whether there was a trap in front of her.
“Where do you think, except that I don’t think Britain would necessarily dare to carry out such a good plan, that’s all. It’s not that it doesn’t have the ability, but it lacks that kind of guts, nowadays, Britain and the United States, to say that Britain resists the invasion of the United States this kind of guts is still there, but to take the initiative to raid Latin America, that’s enough to be a little bit of a problem.”
Alan Wilson absolutely no false, at this time is also the truth, although he is certain that the Soviet Union’s will also intervene in Latin America, but after all, he has no evidence, Britain does not necessarily dare to implement such a good plan.
But there is the Soviet Union big action to act as a frontal battlefield, if not to fish in the water would be a pity, if Britain is not willing to take the lead, is not there the Germans?
“Would you be so kind?” Pogina phoenix eyes flickered, really do not want to believe that this man’s integrity, is not feel that the threat of the German Mark is too great, want to borrow the knife of the United States to do something to Germany, this is a foretaste of the past, such as the previous yen problem.
Bokina is definitely wronged him, Allen Wilson swore to God, three lifetimes to the hairy sister will not have half a lie, not to mention the harm, if there is half a false let the Yellowstone volcano explode.
This is definitely a good plan, the external environment, the Soviet Union will certainly be pressed in a big way, the U.S. side of Carter’s general rule, even if it is found that the Socialist International in Europe took advantage of the opportunity to intermingle with the private goods, but also can only turn a blind eye, such a good opportunity not to participate in it would be a pity.
“So where to get involved?” Bokina inquired, since the man was so confident, he must have already thought this through.
“The Chamorro family.” Alan Wilson answered without even thinking, speaking of which, the Chamorro family had been an important family in Nicaraguan politics since the eighteenth century, having produced a total of six presidents.
If it wasn’t for being suppressed by the Somoza family in recent times, there’s no chance that the face of the United States in Nicaragua right now would be the Chamorro family, rather than the Somoza family that came to power later.
“Well, I also have some contacts in the Socialist Party that could get this plan discussed, but it’s not up to me to say whether it will be an issue at the Socialist International Conference.” Bokina finally submitted to the head of the family, no more than the man would do her no harm.
That was certainly true; to his wife and to the ladies who were on equal footing with her, Allen Wilson never contributed light and heat, never a bit of bad will.
This Latin American strategy appeared at once among the Socialist International member parties in Britain and Germany, and did not at all fail to live up to Allen Wilson’s expectations, with the Labor Party expressing caution about the plan, mainly because of the American factor that made it hesitant, and asking Allen Wilson if it was not a little too bold.
The German Socialist Party, on the other hand, was very interested and felt that this was a good opportunity for the Socialist Party to expand its international influence.
