Chapter 1534 Vietnam is too arrogant

Since it was the Prime Minister’s son who came to the door, there was naturally something in terms of treatment, Alan Wilson could only put aside his congratulations on Albert’s promotion to Major and deal with Margaret Thatcher’s unworthy son.

“Mark, for the sake of Whitehall’s neutrality, you can talk to me in a private capacity after I’m off duty, but it’s best not to show up during working hours, which may affect the prime minister’s popularity.” Putting the good old child congratulations aside for a moment, Alan Wilson reminded the other man.

There was no particular meaning to it either, it was entirely for the Prime Minister’s family’s popularity, and it was obvious that Mark had already shown the initial potential of a defeated son, so he hadn’t taken this into consideration.

But since this is the first time, this is all forgivable, Allenwell started from the family side, it is not that he has not seen the family of Margaret Thatcher, for example, Mark’s twin sister Carol, is currently in Australia, even the inauguration of the prime minister was rushed back from Australia.

The time of contact naturally began with Margaret Thatcher’s blowout to take the Conservative Prime Minister, but Alan Wilson swore on his person that it was all pure coincidence and had nothing to do with Margaret Thatcher becoming the leader of the Conservative Party, and maybe that’s just life, there are times when things like this happen.

Mark didn’t show the slightest displeasure, in the midst of a successful life plan, the Prime Minister’s son was also in need of a guiding light to point the way, and no one was better suited to the role than Sir Wilson.

“In the era of sovereign currency, inflation is very normal, only in recent years because of the oil crisis and other factors the inflation rate is a little too high. Citizens are dissatisfied with this, this is the background of your mother came to power, for this privatization, I personally do not agree with all of it, but the new prime minister came to power in the responsibility for the country, Whitehall naturally want to fully cooperate.”

Alan Wilson has made it clear that he does not agree with all of the Conservative Party, to be precise, Mrs. Thatcher’s one faction’s claims, but is willing to cooperate, this rhetoric is also convenient to dump later.

Mark also nodded, as Mrs. Thatcher’s son, he naturally understood his mother’s thoughts, the Prime Minister still dotes on his children, especially to him, to his sister Carol is a little worse.

This point the prime minister’s family can rest assured, Carol’s care problem has the Wilson family among the weak link Pamela to solve, Pamela has and Alan Wilson said this matter, Carol’s quite a lot of hobbies and she is very similar, the difference is that, Pamela has a solid backing to realize these hobbies, Carol in this on the poor some.

Cabinet lists are never static, and adjustments are not uncommon. For Margaret Thatcher, gradually adjust the cabinet team to as many as possible to their own hearts, but also necessary.

However, the first cabinet can not be bent on, can not be too hasty, but must consider the feelings and reasoning, full display of elegance, to accommodate some of the Heath faction of the oldest ministers.

Thatcher’s faction in the Conservative Party can not do a word, and now her pressure is certainly not small, Alan Wilson is not willing to conflict with the other side at this time, the privatization is still necessary, if the most advocate of privatization of the faction can not sit in the position of stability, then in the future, who still dares to hold up the banner of privatization?

“Privatizing public housing doesn’t sound right, it easily reminds people of selling state property at a low price, and the truth is of course selling at a low price, but wouldn’t it sound better to change the name to something else, such as letting citizens own their own property? Citizens become owners of their homes, and there’s very much to be said for that process.”

Alan Wilson fills Mark in, lowering his voice, “These homes are spread all over the UK, and different situations in different parts of the country have different values. The value of property in many places is limited, but is the value of a home like this in London limited as well? In terms of the laws of economics, it’s London’s turn to wait until the whole of the UK’s real estate market has collapsed. So public housing in London is absolutely bullish, this is a long-term trend, Mark, as the son of the Prime Minister, you have the possibility of getting accurate inside information first, and look beyond.”

“Secretary General, isn’t that in here?” Mark, the prime minister’s son, may not have listened to the lecture so seriously in his life, but this time is definitely the most sincere one.

What was the reason for listening to lectures, wasn’t it to make one’s life better? The lectures in school were still too far away from themselves, unlike the Cabinet Secretary’s place, where they could be realized immediately, so could they not be taken seriously?

This small doubt is not a problem at all, Alan Wilson proudly stood up his chest, “The government is committed to let every hard-working British citizen get what he wants, not because of whose son he is. Can’t the Prime Minister’s son struggle for himself and realize his self-worth? That would be unfair.”

“But Mark, your mother has just become the Prime Minister, and will probably put restrictions on you in this regard, but I think that you have long since become an adult, and should have your own judgment, so this matter should still be your own decision in principle.”

“Mother is so busy, there is no need to know at all.” It had to be admitted that in some ways people always have an innate talent, and Mark clearly had the gift of understanding without a teacher that there was no need for the Prime Minister to know.

“Mark, you’re going to be a very successful man, and down the road when the Prime Minister gives examples of people who have gained through hard work, just use you as an example.” Alan Wilson smiled and complimented the prime minister’s son.

Waiting for the other side to leave, Alan Wilson took Albert’s promotion of the appointment letter, fell into thought, memory of less than three years of the war on the island of Ma will be fought, the current speed of the promotion of the good big son is too worrying, the two relative to each other, the culture czar’s son last meeting is a major general.

Although that is also a son, but compared to their own can look after this from time to time, the contrast is also too obvious, pondering Alan Wilson picked up the microphone to let Makins come to a trip.

Couldn’t this promotion speed in the promotion a little bit? Not only does the prime minister have a son, the secretary general also has a son.

How to sensibly and reasonably raise the speed of promotion, without leaving any handle, the logical way is to rub hot spots, simply put, where there is a war. There are still a few current wars to try.

Makins mentioned the armed conflict in Nicaragua in response to a query about the current world situation, and Alan Wilson shook his head, “That’s a battleground between the US and the USSR, and the UK doesn’t have a proper base in Latin America, let alone the Falklands, that doesn’t count.”

How does that not count? It was clearly British territory in Latin America, Makins wondered, and then mentioned the Angolan War, again overruled by Alan Wilson. That wasn’t also against the Soviet Union. Ditto the mutual shelling of Afghanistan and Pakistan last month, which was also bound to be vetoed.

“We want to show off British influence, but not really confront the Soviet Union, or pick a place where the risks are manageable.” Alan Wilson bristled, “Makins, what do you think of the Soviet Union.”

“The land is huge and the population is huge.” Makins answered without even thinking about it, which was also the general impression of the Soviet Union.

Generally speaking the most important thing about the country was these two points, the rest was all wind and snow.

Alan Wilson also attached the most importance to these two points, “We claim to be a world power, but do not have the ability to confront the Soviet Union alone. This is something that is clear in the hearts of my colleagues, even though they don’t say it with their mouths.”

Hearing about the manageable risks, Makins had a flash of insight, “We are all strong forward bases, in good condition, with the current saber rattling in Vietnam and Thailand.”

“Yes, this is it, this is a good place.” Alan Wilson’s eyes lit up, how could he have forgotten about this not so little known war.

He didn’t know much about this war, and that was because the confrontation between Thailand and Vietnam wasn’t important amongst the perspective of a certain major power, but that didn’t mean that this war really wasn’t important.

Decades of war had allowed the Americans to transport all their advanced weaponry to Vietnam, yet by the time of the retreat the US was already facing all kinds of economic and military pressures.

The Americans had no choice but to leave these large weapons and equipment in Vietnam, where they had all the advanced airplanes, tanks, artillery, and so on. The weapons and equipment left by the United States in Vietnam were enough to arm an army of one million people, and Vietnam took over this advanced weaponry after reunification.

This military conflict lasted for nearly a decade and probably functioned similarly to the Two Hills Wheel of War, meaning that Vietnam was consumed by two countries on two fronts simultaneously throughout the 1980s.

In the end, Thailand also won this war of attrition by virtue of the geographical advantage of fighting on home soil and the support of the international community.

Alan Wilson decided to make this lesser-known war of attrition a little more recognizable and raise the value of this war of attrition, most notably because Britain still had Malaya on its hands.

Malaya still contained millions of South Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War after the U.S. Army performed the Iron Fist of Saigon, and now only a few years had passed.

In the matter of receiving refugees, although it is Allen Wilson intentionally let loose, wash out the proportion of Malays, but because the United States in Vietnam disgrace, Washington must lead the British this favor.

The failure of the Vietnam War on the United States of America’s confidence hit a great deal, not only lost Vietnam, even Cambodia and Laos are lost, and now Thailand in the face of Vietnam’s military pressure, the United States not only did not respond, but also the Vietnam War-era military bases culled, the action is to allow Thailand to fend for itself.

However, Alan Wilson knows that Reagan came up to the United States will play chicken blood, the support for Thailand will also come back, but there is no denying that Thailand is now really isolated.

“Does the Prime Minister have a moment?” Alan Wilson picked up the phone and called 10 Downing Street to ask Mrs. Thatcher if she had time, he wanted to talk to the Prime Minister alone.
