Chapter 1598 – Summit and Re-election

“Shouldn’t we test the Queen’s thoughts?” Arnold shook his head, “Father, I don’t think taking out a mistress will solve the problem, the problem lies with the Crown Prince.”

“It’s not like I can do anything to the Crown Prince, count that woman out. As for Her Majesty, although the Crown Prince is not cared for by Her Majesty, it is still a biological son. Her Majesty will surely side with the Crown Prince and make the Crown Princess endure, but obviously the Crown Princess is not that kind of person.”

Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders hopelessly, “Killing a mistress would be much simpler, and Her Majesty doesn’t need to know about it, but the Crown Princess should know the inside story afterward.”

“Will the Crown Princess spill the beans then? There are so many reactions to anticipate here.” Arnold inquired, “Since father feels that the crown princess is not to be bullied, what if the crown prince doesn’t change? Out of one we address the other and things could end up getting out of hand.”

“Ordinary mistresses are still different, with such a thing, maybe the Crown Prince won’t be so blatant and will hide a little tighter in the future.”

Alan Wilson paused when he said this, and began to play the emotional card, “You see, your sister Pamela is obviously not suitable for this, she has limited abilities. Albert is serving in Rhodesia, he obviously doesn’t have the time for this either, and in a few years he will have to go to the Rheinland Group Army, only you, my good son, you are definitely adequate in terms of intellect, and manpower is abundant in our family, so plan well. You see, I’ve helped you out with your problems too, now it’s your turn to help.”

Alan Wilson mouth said to solve the problem, is not Arnold to see the color, brought Elizabeth Hurley led out, to say all funny, go to a restaurant to eat feel neglected, or to test Arnold on their own is not valued? Anyway, it made a scene, caused the restaurant’s dissatisfaction quarrel.

When Arnold was at a loss, it was not he, the father who helped solve the problem, reasonable and lawful and honorable for his daughter-in-law out of anger?

The way is actually very simple to say, that restaurant is a major traffic thoroughfare, traffic constantly, out of the Prime Minister to generate revenue after coming to power the idea, Alan Wilson let the Ministry of Transportation in that added a traffic light, chaotic parking is to be fined, the effect is obvious, the supreme authority felt that the good restaurant lasted less than a year will have to close down the business.

Since let the good Dahl manipulation, Alan Wilson put forward a number of requirements, hope that Arnold come up with a practical and improvised plan, preferably involving an accident after the occurrence of the incident, to find out and the Crown Prince coupling pointing to the problem, of course, ultimately to the Crown Prince to set aside the relationship, this part of their own work, hands-on as well as other parts of the Arnold’s work.

Arnold eventually accepted the assignment, grumbling, “I have a feeling this is going to be a lot more difficult than what I’ve been laying out in East Asia.”

“What’s so difficult about it, it’s not even comparable. What happened in East Asia was nothing more than that after the loss of Xiangjiang, we placed the financing center of Asia in Singapore. It declined after the return, the responsibility is not ours.”

Alan Wilson had a disinterested look on his face, “This work can be done slowly, with ten to twenty years to operate, Singapore will slowly replace the position of Xiangjiang.”

Xiangjiang is indeed a place that eats policy, but then again, which city is not late to policy, London also holds policy, isn’t the City of London eating policy?

Eating policy is not shameful, it is afraid of eating it with a look of I’m all on my own, that’s very tiresome, Arnold agreed after listening, “The financial center still needs to be controlled in our hands.”

“It’s still simple.” Alan Wilson was optimistic, “It’s not like we’re fighting a ground war, it’s an area we specialize in.”

It’s not like the UK can’t fight a ground war, depending on how big it is, if it’s a 200,000 scale war, the UK isn’t afraid of any country. But the problem is that the United Kingdom said does not count, people have to mobilize a million army, the United Kingdom where to find this kind of manpower to go?

So for several countries with large populations and large areas, the purpose of the British construction of military power is to talk about from a position of strength, not to really clamor.

The years are not forgiving, Alan Wilson is always touching the fish these days, he can not have a general election this stimulant to motivate, like the female prime minister as tireless commitment.

As soon as the date of the general election was announced, Margaret Thatcher was too busy for a moment. Either chairing meetings, listening to reports, writing or revising speeches, or a whirlwind of activities, visiting factories, farms, hospitals, schools and streets, making speeches, meeting with voters, visiting the poor and the needy and warming the hearts of the poor.

Sometimes her aides and entourage are paralyzed with fatigue, but she remains cheerful and energetic, and in front of large crowds and journalists’ cameras, she appears to have no fatigue and laughs easily.

The fact that the Prime Minister’s schedule was so full did not move the Cabinet Secretary, who was in the middle of a fishing expedition, and the only thing he could do was to speak up and remind the Prime Minister to take care of her rest, and that’s all he could do. Had he offered to help with the bones, perhaps Mr. Thatcher might not have agreed.

There is still time for rest, and that is the immediate meeting of the Seven Heads of State, which is attended by President Reagan of the United States, President Mitterrand of France, Chancellor Kohl of the Federal Republic of Germany, Prime Minister Fan Fanny of Italy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone of Japan.

The vast majority of the British electorate watched with pride on television as their Prime Minister met in the United States with the leaders of other developed countries. The exoticism, the tropical beauty, the crimson carpets, the majestic national guard of honor, the lavish banquets, the huge crowds of journalists.

All of this evoked in the voters the immense pride of the Kingdom of Great Britain and the heartfelt love of the well-groomed Prime Minister Thatcher.

Yasuhiro Sone especially had something to communicate with Mrs. Thatcher about the fact that Nikon had just been heavily fined by the British government, and he felt that there was a misunderstanding.

“This is a matter that is at a sensitive time in the general election.” Mrs. Thatcher looked to the other side, to the Cabinet Secretary who was almost asleep, and then explained to Yasuhiro Sone, “Once the matter leaks out, the Labor Party will set off a public opinion storm. That’s why it has to be handled carefully.”

“Isn’t it hard to find a reason to deal with Japan?” Alan Wilson did not notice the British Prime Minister’s stare at himself, still advising the US Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan, “I think the US is still too kind to Japan, it won’t work without a fundamental change in attitude, what do your US troops in Japan do? I just don’t believe it’s still possible to make trouble with tanks.”

“Sir look.” Donald Reagan cried, “The U.S. Army in Japan is to protect Japan from foreign threats, how could it possibly do that?”

“I get it, you can’t really do this kind of thing, but the Japanese must be made to understand that it’s not a bluff.” Allen Wilson waved his hand heartily suggested, “I have a suggestion, can start through some and the Soviet side of the economic and trade relations, to find the Japanese handle to suppress, so that there is an explanation to the American citizens.”

Above the specific behavior, Allen Wilson then hinted to Donald Reagan, “Think of something among the Batumi’s embargo catalog, I’m sure it can be found.”

This kind of backroom operation how to bother the prime minister, of course, he is the cabinet secretary-general to communicate, the prime minister of course, to be the focus of the whole scene, performance in a group of men surrounded by a group of cranes, petite and delicate.

She raised a hand and a throw between, can attract attention, people love; and other leaders attending the meeting on the “Iron Lady” is to show respect and courtesy, courtesy of three first, a modest gentleman style, for Mrs. Thatcher added a few points of flavor.

The seven heads of state meeting, itself, there are other countries for the United Kingdom to stand meaning, after all, the Labor government and the United States is really not very familiar with, not to mention the existence of any special relationship.

Reagan is now calling for a tough response to the Soviet Union, if the Labor Party is in power in the United Kingdom, it certainly will not cause a call for a hundred effect.

Inside and outside the conference, countries unanimously affirmed that the British economy was showing signs of recovery, and agreed that the current economic policy was the best policy to maintain and support economic recovery. And they praised Mrs. Thatcher’s leadership and the unquestionable strength of the British Empire under her leadership.

On the issue of the general election, the Labour Party accused the Conservative Party of the unemployment problem, the countries as a unified voice, unanimously said that the solution to the unemployment problem is not a quick-acting capsule, even if there is, but it is also, as Mrs. Thatcher denounced the counterfeit medicine, refuted the Labour Party’s attack on the Conservative Party on the issue of unemployment.

After the first day’s formal session, Mrs. Thatcher and Alan Wilson discussed the issue of the fine imposed on Nikon.

Alan Wilson did not change his attitude, “The solidarity of the leaders with the Prime Minister’s policy and Nikon’s being penalized are two different things, and Nikon’s operation does have the suspicion of interfering in the general election. Britain’s internal political issues cannot be interfered with by outside forces, and also especially a Japanese company. The penalties should never be withdrawn and the Japanese, whose good days are over, need not heed their appeals at all.”

In Britain’s interests, the main takeaway from this participation in the G7 lies in joining forces with France to unify their positions on the issue of European nuclear disarmament.

Simply put, the stalemate between the United States and the Soviet Union on the issue of European nuclear disarmament lies between the two countries themselves, but the United States has the advantage that Britain and France are both nuclear powers, while the Soviet Union has one old brother, and the other members of the Warsaw Pact are not worth mentioning.

Britain and France should convince the U.S. that if the U.S. hedged its bets with the Soviet Union on nuclear weapons reductions, the Free World side would still have the upper hand, and that Britain and France, themselves countries in Europe, could instead establish their superiority over the Soviet Union by staying out of the way.

This was the main content of the next day’s meeting, and in the end, the G7 also came up with the resolution that Britain wanted, that neither Britain nor France’s nuclear deterrent should be included in the substance of arms control negotiations with the Soviets, which could be considered Britain’s biggest gain from this meeting.

Margaret Thatcher could be said to have returned to London with good news, waiting for the general election polling day to come, a day later, the results were revealed, the Conservative Party won, Margaret Thatcher successfully re-elected.
