Chapter 1566 – Vile Rumors

“Are you avoiding me.” Anna followed behind Alan Wilson with her mouth unceasingly, “I think you just think I’m too old to be enthusiastic now.”

“It was so hard for me to find an excuse to come.” Alan Wilson turned back with a muddled head, “I still have a job to do here, and it’s not just to attend a completion ceremony either. And I never said you were getting older, you seem to be in pretty good shape to me.”

The rate of aging can’t be generalized, even whites who age faster than other races aren’t all unable to look good when they reach their years, the percentage is a little less. But Allen Wilson luck? Can not say luck, Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman, these, certainly can not be compared with the general population, the basic conditions are different.

It’s not like there aren’t models in their fifties who are radiant, and Cindy Crawford’s like that, although rare, is not a big deal at all for Allen Wilson’s current level.

Unsanctioned Authority could go straight to church and swear that he hadn’t disliked any of them because of their age, and the little dragon-rider was simply being irrational, “So what the hell have you been up to?”

“Heavy weapons replacement for the Rheinland Group Army.” Alan Wilson replied helplessly, “In that case, I’ll definitely be back after my expedition, never break a promise.”

Anna puffed out her cheeks and piled up an expression described with gravity and nodded, finally having taken care of the sticky Dragon Cavalry, Allen Wilson didn’t dare to delay for a moment and went to the British Army Command.

Rheinland Army is the most powerful corps of the British Army, adapted from the British occupation army, the British army in West Berlin also belongs to the Rheinland Army’s combat sequence, the commander of the British army in West Berlin has just been replaced, Allen Wilson is methodically preparing for the maximization of Hess’s value.

He came this time has nothing to do with Hess, but the heavy equipment of the Rheinland Army to do to do in mind, the entire Rheinland Army will be completely replaced by Challenger tanks, the original Chieftain tanks with Chobham armor will be sold to the Kingdom of Iraq.

Rheinland Army as a heavy armored corps, the front to deal with the presence of the Soviet Army in Germany, the entire unit equipped with thousands of tanks, regardless of the size of the Soviet Army in Germany, completely called the free world’s strongest ground group.

Replacement can not be completed immediately, but the first batch of two hundred tanks will sail, the rest will also depend on the progress of the war between Iran and Iraq, if everything goes well naturally there is nothing to say, if it evolves into a historical situation, even if the entire Rheinland Group Army is replaced, even one-third of Iraq’s needs can not be filled, and the rest will be handed over to a certain big country to fill.

Replacement of the Chief tanks, together with the Rafale fighters and Eagle-class heavy aircraft carriers, combined into a total price of six billion dollars in military sales of large single, Eagle-class heavy aircraft carriers as early as three years ago has reached the end of its service life, to do with the history of the United Kingdom directly find a circle of sellers to no avail after the dismantling of the.

This world has been in service until 1981, and then later, if the use of the cost will increase dramatically, looking at Faisal II is going to use the Iraqi sword for Iraq to capture the land under the sun, relying on the political and business circles over the years, and even gave the Iraqi royal family overseas islands to establish a deep relationship, Alan Wilson, this is going to help the Cabinet Secretary of the absolute sincerity, absolutely can not turn a blind eye to it.

Converted into pounds is more than two billion large contract, but also the largest post-war British military sales, it seems that the two full load displacement of 50,000 tons of aircraft carriers are also in it, but also to consider the service life of the problem.

Alan Wilson believes that once the arms sales contract is completed, the Kingdom of Iraq’s claim to be the world’s fourth military power will be even more true to its name, and certainly more powerful than Saddam in terms of hardware.

Equivalent to one million apartments privatization of the arms sales contract, but also will bring the United Kingdom’s own armaments on the innovation, in the Rhine Group Command to finalize this matter, Alan Wilson continued to stay in Bonn for a day, dragging the body full of fatigue to return to London.

In order to respond to Mrs. Thatcher’s call for Britain to start from a position of strength, he really ran around worrying, even no matter how much money will not sell the heavy aircraft carriers are ready to sell.

“My dear, there’s something I don’t understand.” Pamela Mountbatten inquired with a puzzled face as she rested her teacup, “Will the sale of two heavy aircraft carriers disrupt the regional balance.”

“Those two carriers, they won’t be used for much longer.” Alan Wilson said unconcernedly, “But it’s time to find an excuse to convince the House of Commons to open the design and construction of a new type of aircraft carrier, that’s the priority, and the shipbuilding industry needs orders to maintain it. The Raging Wind fighter and the Chieftain tank are also considerations in that regard.”

“But the country is not in a good place right now.” Pamela Mountbatten was a bit worried, increasing jobs by expanding military needs in a bad economy? Not without precedent, but they were all counter-examples.

“Do you really think that the country’s problems are serious, the unemployed population is not insurmountable.”

Alan Wilson lazily replied, “In fact, just immigrating can make the unemployed population drop, but we can’t do that, the unemployed population all have the ability to work in the first place, what kind of unemployed population is an old man or a child? If the country’s middle class labor force is solved by outward immigration, what kind of development will this country have in the future?”

The result of the country’s inability to retain people, just look at the GDR which was sucked by the FRG and couldn’t stand it, all to build the Berlin Wall.

Two million unemployed people can’t be solved by the immigration solution. It is possible to use the immigration approach a little to create good looking numbers on the books, but they should never be allowed to leave the UK.

“It seems you will only manage civil servants.” Pamela Mountbatten knew her man very well, and since there were ways to just not use them for the unemployed population, she would definitely take care of the civil servants.

“The civil service in Shannon is going to be expanded.” Alan Wilson replied calmly, he called David back just for this matter, to understand the current situation in Xiangjiang and to formulate a new civil service policy.

Narrowly defined civil servants will be expanded to 100,000 people, welfare policy is also in the process of development, in principle, it is certain to exceed the local welfare, retirement policy has more advantages. Almost no worse than the local civil servants.

Now Xiangjiang is in a stage of hot money influx, this stage is generally in the process of doing everything to make money, later ten years this kind of hot money influx because of the opening of a large country will continue, Xiangjiang has enough financial strength to support this decision.

“The effect of the opening of a huge market will definitely lead to the development of Xiangjiang more easily than Malaya, so it is good that Xiangjiang’s identity is worth something. There’s still room to move on that.”

“It seems like I should set my headquarters in Xiangjiang instead of Magic City.” Pamela Mountbatten felt that things couldn’t be that simple, otherwise wouldn’t her husband be punking her, Xiangjiang was so good, yet she was told to set up her headquarters in Magic City? Could it be that he was too wealthy?

“Letting you put it in Mordor is because Mordor’s location is really good, and Xiangjiang is an island. The good thing about Xiangjiang is that you can evacuate at any time.” Ellen Wilson answered this question, raking in the money and running away is suitable for Xiangjiang, long-term operation is suitable in Mordor.

Although the richest man, the richest woman is an industrialist, of course it is suitable in Mordor.

The wealth of the Mountbatten family is being divested, and the non-physical part of it is now given to the heart of the parents, Albert’s good sister, and Arnold’s mouth of the lying girl to run.

But the rest, to be honest Alan Wilson didn’t have much faith in his daughter’s abilities and he felt that she was moving more and more towards being a senior bureaucrat in Brussels, typified by that brainiac EU chairwoman on the march.

The second cabinet reshuffle that Margaret Thatcher had been mulling over finally began after the Conservative National Conference, a second reshuffle of the cabinet that ousted or deposed most of the cabinet ministers who had dared to go against Prime Minister Thatcher, and promoted or redeployed a large number of bureaucrats who shared her beliefs.

This political sweep was a strategic victory for Mrs. Thatcher.

The reshuffle left the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for Industry intact, the Defense Secretary, the Foreign Secretary, and the Home Secretary were switched, and all the other Cabinet ministers were replaced with new faces, and Mrs. Thatcher smugly told her advisers, “What a difference it makes to preside over a Cabinet in which the majority of the people are on your side! By the way, where is the Secretary General of the Cabinet.”

“I hear he’s having a tantrum.” The political advisor laughed bitterly, but was obviously too squeamish to talk much about it.

“What on earth happened.” Mrs. Thatcher’s face was serious, with her knowledge of the man, the other party had an unfathomable moral ground, this would not happen.

“Uh, Prime Minister, Sir seems to be explaining the relationship with the Prime Minister.” The political advisor replied vaguely and ambiguously.

At the Cabinet meeting prior to the current Cabinet reshuffle, when Margaret Thatcher was facing a siege from many of her peers, there was a righteous speech from the Cabinet Secretary, which consisted of persuading the Prime Minister to oust the opposition from the Cabinet.

At that time, Alan WILSON was also attacked by Cabinet Ministers, attacking the Cabinet Secretary for interfering in the decision-making of the Cabinet. Now that Margaret THATCHER has really thrown the opposition out of the Cabinet, there are rumors flowing out on the personal relationship between the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretary, saying that 10 Downing Street is a husband-and-wife store.

This was a shameful slur on the deep friendship between the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister, a shameful rumor shaped by some disgruntled opponents, a rumor that hurt the Prime Minister’s popularity.

“The cooperation with the new minister should be unwavering in defense of the country’s interests, and there is no need to pay attention to the independent gossip about some losers. This behavior of theirs is very shameful, especially for a female politician.”

Speaking to a meeting of permanent undersecretaries who will be working with the new minister, Alan Wilson raged against the vile comments that followed the cabinet reshuffle, “Ten Downing Street is definitely not a couple’s store.”

“The Foreign Secretary for Iraq will be arriving in London shortly to finalize the arms sales contract, which is more important than dealing with gossip, meeting adjourned.”
