Chapter 1550: Reshuffling the Cabinet
The attackers, apart from the Labor MPs, were also MPs from the Conservative Party who, after a long period of consensus politics, shared the same attitude as the Labor Party, a section of MPs called the Witte Faction referring to taking the middle way – cautious and moderate without going to extremes.
This faction are mostly supporters of the original Aidan, Macmillan and Heath who were Tory party leaders. They believe that monetarist policies are pushing the country step by step into the abyss and that the Conservatives’ position in power is in jeopardy.
The Tory giants couldn’t sit still and began to criticize their successors outright.
At a time when unemployment is at a post-Depression high and inflation is once again breaking records, Margaret Thatcher is very dangerous indeed, and Alan Wilson is certainly standing firmly behind the Prime Minister.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the minister is on the air, Alan Wilson would probably not only be cheering for the prime minister on a personal level, but would have to go to the BBC and shout for Margaret Thatcher’s policies?
The second half of the sharp turn in the economic situation, even Margaret Thatcher’s close confidant, the monetarist Chancellor of the Exchequer Geoffrey Howe appeared to be down in the dumps, at this time to express support, more reflective of Alan Wilson’s support of the invaluable.
This puts the prime minister in the midst of adversity in the heart of a warm current rising, the man is still remembering the old feelings, remembering the old feelings may be one of Alan Wilson’s few weaknesses, he subconsciously really do not want to fall out with Mrs. Thatcher, the prime minister, although he did not make his wife, there is no need to do the enemy.
Currently, Mrs. Thatcher needs to deal with the opposition party and the internal opposition, this Alan Wilson is unable to help, he and these members of the House of Commons is not a system of people.
Although he knows that many well-dressed MPs have secret mistresses, revolving door operations, and even drink-driving and using their power for personal gain.
And then there is Profumo, the former Defense Secretary and now leader of the Conservative Party in the House of Commons, and while there are not many people like Profumo who have made mistakes on the issue of minors, they are not one without the other.
Pamela Mountbatten hadn’t returned from her trip to see the Olympics, and the Supreme Authority had to find peace of mind here in Hepburn, who was watching a rerun of the first season of Yes Minister, and it was not often that you could see the ballflower laughing so joyfully, “Is that really what you civil servants do?”
“It’s an artistic exaggeration, doesn’t it also say in here that there’s nothing I can do if the Prime Minister has already made up his mind.” Alan Wilson put his hand on Hepburn’s leg and explained, “This play, is a signal that the Prime Minister wants to take on the civil service, and if it’s limited to the British Isles, it’s doom and gloom for us.”
“Limited to the British Isles?” Hepburn caught the key word and inquired curiously, “If it’s not limited to the British Isles, like it says in there, are you the most powerful person in England?”
“Not someone powerful.” Alan Wilson corrected, “Rather, the entire deep government is powerful, where do I have any power, my greatest power is used on you.”
“Full of lies.” Hepburn was half joyful, half angry, “You just bullied me into being too involved and cheated me out of my body, you bad man.”
This accusation is of course true, but Alan Wilson will certainly not admit it, firmly stated that between the two that is love, even if there is no he exists, Hepburn is like a body like ribs, certainly can not be married, Hepburn this time really angry, got up and chased after this play the most powerful person in England.
Not long ago, Hepburn has been stopped waist to pick up, mouth also unconvinced drip mutter, “I this kind of ribs like figure, hold not cackle hand.”
“Dear, see what you say, my favorite slender body, I swear to the lamp is absolutely not a lie.” Alan Wilson replied in a serious manner, and Loki, the god of intrigue, couldn’t look past him.
It’s not a lie that he clearly likes to drive a large displacement car, and Hepburn just looks skinny, but she’s actually not short at all.
Alan Wilson had an idea before Margaret Thatcher came to power, if Margaret Thatcher can privatize valuable industries completed fast, then he does not care whether Margaret Thatcher can stay in power or not, if privatization is not completed, but has been subjected to a crisis of confidence, then it may be necessary to help a hand.
Can not let this challenge to the consensus politics of the Prime Minister halfway, otherwise there is a precedent here, who will dare to move the idea of privatization in the future? Without it, how can the richest woman get rich?
In Mrs. Thatcher frequently and opposition parties, the opposition line at the same time, Alan Wilson began to pay attention to Latin America always and Brazil do not have the wrong Argentina, now in the end what is a situation.
Argentina has always defied Brazil, this is a well-known fact, but only the Argentines themselves think that Argentina can be equal to Brazil.
In fact, among the Hispanic countries, even if Spain, the sovereign state declined, others also believe that Mexico is the second choice in addition to Spain, Mexico did do so, following the example of the United States of America on the old Europe of the blue, on the post-war Franco regime extremely close to humiliation, attitude than the United States and the Soviet Union are much tougher.
But the United States was able to pull it off, mainly because the United States was stronger than the European countries, and Mexico, while individually also stronger than Spain, was not itself strong enough to be subversive.
As Mexico has gone into a rut in recent years, the challenge to Spain has subsided, and is moving headlong towards the Mexico that will be remembered in later years.
Argentina has never been as important as Mexico, and compared to Mexico, Argentina, also a colony, has been left out in the cold and slowed down by the relative preciousness of its mineral resources, despite enjoying unparalleled geography.
The marginalization of Argentina can also be seen in the administrative divisions. Since the sixteenth century, Spain had placed the western part of South America, including Argentina, under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of Peru, with Lima as its capital.
It was not until the end of the eighteenth century that the Viceroyalty of La Plata, with Buenos Aires as its capital, was separated.
Argentina’s high points were the period around World War I, and the time period of World War II, whenever there was no world war, when it lagged behind Mexico.
Farming in great, but also can not be compared to the wealth brought by industry, and compared to other Latin American countries, Argentina is considered a lack of minerals, but also can not go the route of mining cars.
If Argentina and Chile were to merge into one country, they should be considered to have everything, but unfortunately the relationship between these two countries is very poor.
When they first gained independence from Spain, the predecessors of Chile and Argentina coincidentally chose to expand, and these two countries were in a conflict of national interests, which led to the relationship has not been very good.
Marshal Pi was the only country in the whole of Latin America that provided assistance to Britain in the Isle of Man War, but this world’s Marshal Pi was kicked out of the country by Allende, and became a victim of Allen Wilson’s efforts to increase his rank for the good old boy, and if the Isle of Man War broke out, Britain might have one less support point in Latin America.
In this point, Allen Wilson belongs to is pitched Britain a hand, but compared with his years of work to retain the interests of this can only be said to be harmless. He was all a little afraid that Galtieri wouldn’t dare to do anything about it.
However, whether Caltieri will do it or not, depends largely on the attitude of the United States, if the United States attitude in favor of Argentina, Argentina is likely to think that the United States will prevent Britain from moving.
Alan Wilson thinks it is still possible to operate, do not think that the United States much credit, the United States is now the inflation is not at all lower than the United Kingdom, with the Yinlang revolution brought about by the spread of the oil crisis, and now the free world has begun the inflation race again. Doesn’t the US need an influx of money to keep inflation down?
The easiest way for the U.S. to do this is to harvest Latin America and replenish its own blood first, and as long as it has this in mind, the U.S. may explicitly pull the strings and actually let the U.K. be the villain of this, and take advantage of the opportunity to harvest Latin America itself.
Do not think that the United States will not do this, the United States did this more than once, two Yin war Saddam was Washington’s guest of honor.
“Still have to wait for Reagan to come to power to help.” Alan Wilson still have to support Margaret Thatcher in holding on to hold on, Carter this president is too face, secretly sell out Argentina may not do.
The circumstances that led to the war on the Isle of Man would still require a shameless president like Reagan to do it.
Now is no diversionary internal conflict conditions, so Mrs. Thatcher still have to endure, accept a period of time the nation’s general accusations.
Alan Wilson had to go to the House of Commons, for the current government’s policy to defend, for the current inflation and cause to give their own answer, “the lack of organic coordination between the different macroeconomic control instruments. Generally speaking, macroeconomic control instruments mainly include economic, legal and administrative instruments. The various means have different functions, so they cannot replace each other. In other words, only when the various means are organically coordinated can they acquire complementarity and effectiveness and their functions complement each other.”
This response was unsatisfactory, and some Labor backbenchers sneered, “Hon. Sir, it’s as if I were watching Yes Minister in the middle of the real world, this political comedy.”
“Hon. Member, I was also Secretary General of the Cabinet during the Labor government.” Alan Wilson replied with a grin, “Maintaining government policy to ensure its implementation, that’s all I’m supposed to do.”
“Whitehall should stop policies that hurt Britain.” Another MP jumped in to accuse, “Instead of being a puppet on the strings of the cabinet, it would be disappointing if Sir could not fulfill that role.”
“Of course.” The point was whether this privatization movement really hurt Britain, Alan Wilson didn’t feel that it would, but on the contrary it could be a great boost to the forces that were truly loyal to the Queen.
When Alan Wilson stepped forward to express his support for the current government, in the face of a wave of opposition from both inside and outside the party, and especially a flurry of defections from her trusted colleagues and the upstarts she had personally promoted, Mrs. Thatcher had no choice but to reshuffle her cabinet and remove the rebels who were openly and secretly working against her.
She also decided to use her attendance at the Conservative Central Council’s annual conference in Bournemouth in order to bypass the Cabinet and mobilize Conservative support across the country. Ten months after coming to power, Mrs. Thatcher made her first cabinet reshuffle.
