Chapter 1538: Happiness Needs Comparison

“Our Prime Minister is truly a decisive politician.” Pamela Mountbatten still couldn’t help but sing Margaret Thatcher’s praises, Britain has long been overdue for such a prime minister.

“Yes, yes, yes ……” Alan Wilson nodded his head like a chicken pecking, this moment is the best time to show his position, the richest woman said that the female prime minister is a statesman, that is a statesman.

Mrs. Thatcher did the action, simply put, is the eighties version of interest rate hikes and drawdowns, the sale of state-owned enterprises, reducing the money supply, tax cuts on the upper so a set of operations.

After such a set of operations, the British economy will still deteriorate in the short term, after all, there will be pain in the reform, which is inevitable.

As for the long term? Britain will lose its competitiveness and look at the eyes of the United States to do things, but the short and medium term is favorable to Britain.

This kind of thing is the same as the real estate dividend, the initial inhalation must be a hundred times more energetic, and gradually increase the dosage does not work.

Thatcher’s late reign, has begun to prepare for the restoration of the United Kingdom’s poll tax, finally even the Conservative Party also feel too much, can not help but let the female prime minister to step down in a hurry.

But at present, Alan Wilson will still firmly support Margaret Thatcher’s administration, after all, he and the other side in a sense are also the same way, British Petroleum because of debt and inefficiency was sold is just the beginning, there are bigger and more industries will be privatized.

Including, but not limited to, oil, telecom, gas, steel, water, and other state-run monopolies, to park maintenance, garbage removal, school meals, and other welfare measures that were previously covered by the government can be privately owned and operated.

Oil is just the beginning, the cake will be bigger and bigger in the future, and if Pamela Mountbatten is happy now, she’ll surely be grinning from ear to ear later.

“Will it be such a wonderful prospect?” Pamela Mountbatten’s eyes became crescent moons, immersed in the grandiose blueprints that came out of her husband’s mouth.

“Of course it does, but you have to pick and choose your priorities, you can’t swallow all the estates. Otherwise the goal is obvious, you should re-achieve indirect control through equity distribution.” Alan Wilson unconsciously has been lying on his wife’s lap, the head of the family has been revealed.

If these industries ultimately in the privatization reform are pointing to Pamela Mountbatten a target, even if the richest woman is indeed real money out of pocket, in accordance with the procedures to buy down, but also inevitably cause concern, in fact, you can let someone else to fund the purchase, and then Pamela Mountbatten in the merger after it.

For example, British Steel could merge with Malaya’s Mountbatten Steel Group, and British Water could reorganize with the water company operating in Perth.

Many industries could do this, it may be a bit of a pain in the ass to say so, but it is better than a sure thing, and it has to be sustainable exhaustion.

If you don’t have that kind of long term thinking, then just do what Grace did and run for the quick buck, why be an industrialist? But then again, Mrs. Thatcher wanted to privatize the industry, Pamela Mountbatten is indeed operating, but the main base is not in the United Kingdom.

Mining in Australia and Rhodesia, oil in East Malaysia and the Middle East, Kenya, water companies in the Fragrant River, Malaya and Australia, blah blah blah ……

The privatization process is still well underway, and on another note the military purchases on the Thai side are a nice consolation for the current UK.

Now that the Vietnam War has been lost and the incumbent President Carter is hiding from the Soviet Union, a major power and the Sunset Empire have bravely stepped up to the plate, one teaching Vietnam a lesson in action and the other expressing firm support for Thailand.

The war of self-defense, though over, actually did little damage to Vietnam, at least as Alan Wilson knew, and it was actually the ten years of polemics that followed that did so much damage.

There is a limit to how much damage a single short period of war can do to a country; after all, people are not straws to be cut.

Vietnam withered in every way, mainly because it was consumed by two countries on two fronts for ten years, which eventually led to running out of gas. Although a major country took this opportunity to understand the so-called third in the world, but this war experience can only let a major country in the heart of a measure, on the Thai side played a small role, after all, the war process in the eyes of the third country, is not particularly beautiful.

In fact, many countries believe that the self-defense counterattack war can not talk about who won, the perception is similar to the decades after the Armenian and Azerbaijani battle, intense very intense, swings are also enough swings, pay the price are not small, both lose is the perception of many countries.

Now Thailand is facing the situation is that a war of less than a month, can not really for Thailand to solve the threat of the east, the United States see Vietnam hate to hide far away.

The UK appeared at this time to indicate that it would firmly support Thailand, seen as a snowball in the sky, although after the war the UK cut the isthmus of southern Thailand, but it was not aimed at Thailand, Burma that part of the isthmus is not the same as being cut.

The blame has been put on the pro-Japanese politicians who ruled in World War II, and I, the King of Thailand, who is bright and bold, cannot take the blame for this.

In the face of the threat that still exists on the Vietnamese side, the British side took the initiative to show goodwill to this Southeast Asian monarchy is said to be a life-saving straw. Arms sales also stay logically negotiated.

In fact, if not the British initiative, Thailand will next accept a certain big country’s arms, Thailand’s some Chinese tanks is at this time. However, Alan Wilson felt that a certain big country’s tanks or keep it themselves, would not have been very profitable. The tanks given to Thailand in exchange for foreign exchange or not is still an unknown.

Although the transformation has begun, but in the middle of this time, a big country or not the Soviet Union that kind of stupid habits all changed, half-sold or even gratuitous gift thing is still quite a lot.

This opportunity to give a certain big country, a certain big country is just becoming a responsible big country again, or to give irresponsible countries like the United Kingdom, sell some money is more practical. How about a certain big power supporting a country that is really facing a threat, like Pakistan.

Thailand’s arms sales for the current Mrs. Thatcher, also considered a good news, the two alone to discuss the situation in the East, Alan Wilson also expressed concern for the hard work of the Prime Minister, in the face of this concern, the Prime Minister side-stepped that this concern is beyond the scope of work.

This is like another Margaret once said the supreme authority wants to get Turing’s treatment, Allen Wilson does not agree with this, Turing which has his kind of treatment.

“If the Thai side is sincere enough, it’s not like the Raging Wind fighter can’t be negotiated.” Allen Wilson had a good advantage, that is, as long as he was willing to take money, he never really helped.

The future was the world of third-generation aircraft, and second-generation halves like the Rafale, even very advanced ones, would still try to get out as much as they could.

Both men agreed that the containment of Vietnam was the top priority of the Eastern problem, and that the key to containment of the city’s success lay in the attitude of one of the major powers or another. Alan Wilson bluntly informed the Prime Minister that in fact, there did not exist a single East Asian country that really dared to arm wrestle with a certain great power.

“Doesn’t Japan count?” Mrs. Thatcher asked rhetorically, a question that slapped the Cabinet Secretary in the face; who was the expert on Orientalism anyway?

“That was a particular example at a particular time, now is certainly not the case, the entire Japanese navy is incapable of offense.” Alan Wilson spoke up and replied, “The most important thing to ask is what Burma and Thailand, the neighboring countries, think. From what I know in Malaya, they are all shitting their pants. Honestly, it’s so much more powerful than the Soviet Union’s domination of Eastern Europe.”

The Soviet Union’s presence in Eastern Europe couldn’t yet suppress the resistance of the Eastern European countries, and when a certain major power had about the same power as the USSR, the US hated to push South Korea forward, and South Korea pushed two steps forward and one step backward.

As for what Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, all of them are playing dead, what a threat to the free world, that’s a neighbor in the same boat, countries outside the region do not stir up trouble.

“No way.” Mrs. Thatcher couldn’t believe it, as if a major country wasn’t so rich, right?

“If Russia had more than two thousand years of history and beat up the Eastern European countries every now and then, the Eastern European countries would have been convinced long ago, and it’s useless for us to stir up trouble.” Allen Wilson shrugged his shoulders.

After talking about the Eastern issue, Alan Wilson said he wanted to take two days off because his son’s wedding would be delayed by a day. Mrs. Thatcher huffed and agreed, “National matters are still more important than personal issues.”

“I understand, Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson said understanding my ass, it’s his own son, if you could do what was said, you’d still be stooping low in the future to fish for Mark’s loser son who’s locked up in Africa?

About this combination of power and money? It’s a love fest that symbolizes the fidelity of young people, and although Alan Wilson said everything was kept simple, there were quite a lot of guests who came to Hawksin Manor, countless aristocrats and celebrities, and the others were just fine.

It was very unpleasant that the great African baboon, in fact His Royal Highness the Honorable Crown Prince, was present with Diana.

This unpleasantness was noticed by Pamela, tiptoeing over to her father, “Can you show the professionalism of a cabinet secretary on a day like this?”

“Just say what you want to say.” Alan Wilson said with a leathery smile, “My good daughter, you should be glad you’re a girl or you would have reaped the rewards of a full childhood long ago.”

“Look, this is us father and daughter communicating, you are not a gentleman at all.” Pamela pointed at the Crown Prince and his female companion, then her fingers had a point to her brother Albert and Sofia, “Now in comparison, doesn’t it seem like Albert is all dressed up in his uniform and upright, a standout?”

Alan Wilson’s eyes carried a fixation from the side of the good oldest son and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, nodded his head deeply, “Listening to you say so, indeed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are quite a bit smoother.”

“That’s for sure, what doesn’t need to be compared.” Pamela pinched her hands in self-compliment, “We can’t always focus on the lights and greenery, there are times when we need to be aware of the plight of the people.”
