Chapter 1602 – If you fail, you harbor a grudge

“Still need to go to the hospital for a checkup.” Alan Wilson resumed his business-like appearance and seriously said, “This is my absolute professional advice, all this age, still not able to not only one thing, the original body strong as an ox, does not mean that it is now the same.”

“Well, good.” Mrs. Thatcher recognized this professional advice and spoke, “If you can cooperate with my ruling, actually not annoying. But you always want to look at me funny.”

“That’s absolutely unjust, I never meant that.” Alan Wilson turned his words around, “I make a clear distinction between such things, and the way to do well now is indeed to make a decision when the time comes.”

Upon this reminder, Mrs. Thatcher then found a doctor for her minor ailment, and the conclusion was a detached retina, which is not good news, especially now, the Conservative Party is also facing a scandal-ridden matter, but the condition can not be delayed, and she can only arrange for her own surgery.

Originally, this is a small illness, if it is a commoner, go to the hospital to heal it. But the Prime Minister of the Lord, and just won the re-election of the throne, the body has a disease, that’s not good enough! Therefore, Mrs. Thatcher, in order to save face, had to be quietly admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London’s West End to receive surgical treatment.

Alan Wilson then came to visit the Prime Minister with his wife in a row, and in the middle of the ward, Mrs. Thatcher’s husband was accompanying her, and the arrival of the Cabinet Secretary surprised the Prime Minister and his wife quite a bit.

“I still don’t think it’s right to give things away.” Mrs. Thatcher said this to the Cabinet Secretary in front of her.

“It’s certainly easy if the operation goes well, that’s the basis of all secrecy.” Alan Wilson nodded in reply and sat for a moment before leaving with Pamela Mountbatten.

At such a critical time, Alan Wilson would have been well placed to channel the scandal of Industry Secretary Cecil Parkinson well while the Prime Minister dealt with his personal problems.

“A good opportunity indeed, it seems you’re lucky to have God on your side at times.” Pamela Mountbatten wasn’t superstitious either, but it was true now.

“It’s better to say that opportunities are always reserved for the prepared, if you can see the future, you can do no harm.” Alan Wilson a profound tone, in front of the richest woman’s professional image is still necessary, and then reminded, “The prime minister and we are the same age, now the illness is also a reminder that nothing to take care of the body.”

Mrs. Thatcher’s surgery was not high risk from the top, but involved a definite period of recovery for her eyesight, at a time when the scandal of Cecil Parkinson, the Secretary of State for Industry, was beginning to get worse and worse.

The best thing to do at times like this is usually to solve the problem at the source, find Miss Keyes, negotiate a deal to solve the problem privately, and as long as one side stops making a fuss, the matter will take a turn for the better.

But this time it doesn’t seem to be going in that direction, Cecil Parkinson can’t get to Gieves at all at the moment, the party, or rather the victim has been taken care of by Arnold in advance this time.

This doomed the minister with a bright future for the Conservative Party, and this time it wasn’t so easy to get through.

Cecil Parkinson, as a close confidant of Margaret Thatcher, is a very favored rising star after this election, and in looking at the other side, for example, William Whitelaw, the Home Secretary after Margaret Thatcher’s first victory, the Secretary of State for Defense is held by Francis Pym, and the Foreign Secretary is Peter Alexander Carrington and these people.

Now they are either driven to the House of Lords as Speaker or squatting in the House of Commons as backbenchers, which is not as dashing as being a Cabinet Minister in the first place.

Margaret Thatcher labeled the iron fist, in fact, in the Soviet Union like the middle of the country is considered a great advantage, but in the electoral system of the country, don’t expect to make a one-liner, even within the Conservative Party, is definitely not easy.

Winning is counterattacking, losing is harboring grudges, for being cleaned out by Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet reshuffle, especially a few Conservative Party heavyweight MPs are also present.

Now that the dust has settled from the general election, it is time to give the bedridden prime minister a not-so-small lesson, Margaret Thatcher has not been hospitalized for two days, Cecil Parkinson’s scandal, has been discussed towards a crowded discussion of criminal behavior, and Cecil Parkinson’s biggest backer, is currently undergoing surgery.

And the operation hadn’t been successful, and Margaret Thatcher had to be transferred to hospital for a second operation. At this point, the news of the Prime Minister’s illness immediately went viral and spread rapidly.

Former ministers within the Conservative Party seized this opportunity to launch a scathing attack on Cecil Parkinson, demanding that Cecil Parkinson step down immediately and not tarnish the Conservative Party’s popularity.

Cecil Parkinson, the prime minister is extremely optimistic about the minister, at this time into the four sides of the song, Alan Wilson came to visit the prime minister, the ward only blindfolded Iron Lady alone, Alan Wilson opened his mouth to suggest that “now this time, can only allow him to step down, otherwise things are not his own to bear. The Prime Minister, should also not want to be dragged down by this errant minister, right?”

Stepping down is just the beginning, Alan Wilson must consider letting the minister at least pass through the water inside the court, of course there is no need for Margaret Thatcher to know about this.

“It seems there really is no way out but to step down.” Mrs. Thatcher wore an eye patch eyes can not see, how to know the supreme authority is fast to their own good supporters of the fast drive to death, want to put out the fire can not find people.

Also bear the wrath of women all over the United Kingdom, about a minister to use his power, cheating the feelings of young girls in flower of the truth, has been recognized by the public, step down is almost a certainty.

“The most important thing for the Prime Minister to do now is to get well, and I think that at this point in time, knowing the Prime Minister’s condition, the citizens will not be aggressive.” Alan Wilson grasped the prime minister’s palm comfortingly.

“Well, I’ll just trouble you, eh!” Mrs. Thatcher, whose vision was obstructed, was suddenly unable to make a sound, but she immediately understood what was going on and broke away wearing a rough breath, “Are you crazy?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help seeing the Iron Lady’s vulnerable side a bit.” Alan Wilson put on a low voice, but if Mrs. Thatcher could have seen his expression, she would have known that he was all smiles right now.

Margaret Thatcher was obviously unprepared for this, her chest rose and fell violently obviously wanting to be angry, but in the end she did not say anything, if she did not calm down, Cecil Parkinson this matter is also considered a scandal? How could it be more explosive than the Prime Minister and the Secretary General of the Cabinet?

“Why aren’t you leaving?” Mrs. Thatcher was able to conclude that the other woman had not left and was still staying in the ward, despite her obstructed vision.

“Uh, on the issue of negotiations on Panshin missiles and nuclear disarmament, do we still maintain our previous attitude?” Alan Wilson clearly didn’t want to leave yet, and was still ready to report back to the Prime Minister.

After a while in a spirited manner he left the ward, while moonlighting a bit as a spokesman, answering questions from journalists about the current hospitalization of Margaret Thatcher and the Cecil Parkinson scandal.

First of all the Prime Minister was very angry, because the Prime Minister is also a woman politician and extremely disgusted by such scandals, and when asked for a specific attitude, Alan Wilson replied very frankly, “I’m not a member of the Cabinet, but I would suggest that the Minister for Industry resign immediately.”

Cecil Parkinson resignation certainly to report to Margaret Thatcher, but this is not the big picture, once Cecil Parkinson resignation is no longer a minister, an ordinary MP Alan Wilson can just pinch him, it can be said that once you leave the Cabinet’s support, Cecil Parkinson will not be able to avoid the intervention of the judiciary.

Then, regardless of the questions of the journalists, he returned directly to Whitehall to deal with the German issue, and in the meantime gossiped about the minister’s scandal with his colleagues, who were obviously interested.

“Germany’s attitude is irrelevant, so what if Kohl doesn’t like Panshin missiles deployed in Germany? What can he change, to put it nicely he is the German Chancellor, but in reality do we need to take the German voice seriously?”

Alan Wilson said in a Malayan administrator’s tone, “I have a good way to make Britain, America and France take Germany seriously, Germany expand the army by one and a half million, triple the current Wehrmacht in the expansion, and you can see that our attitude towards Germany must be completely different.”

This is also the best way to solve the problem of Germany in the latter days, if the German military force on two or three hundred thousand, then tens of thousands of U.S. troops in Germany can handle Germany, the German defense force if there are one and a half million, that is still a few tens of thousands of U.S. troops in Germany can handle it? Only 200,000 German troops, the U.S. Army in Germany is the emperor, if there are more than a million German troops, the U.S. Army in Germany is a hostage.

“Indeed, Germany is defenseless, we might as well talk about when the Minister of Industry will resign, I bet within twenty-four hours.” Brewster smirked and spoke, “It seems that the Prime Minister still thinks highly of this minister, I wonder if there is some unknown relationship.”

“Better not spread that kind of talk, our Prime Minister can be snarky.” Alan Wilson reached out to stop the discussion, even jokes had to be kept in moderation.

Eventually Cecil Parkinson couldn’t resist the pressure to resign from Margaret Thatcher, who at this point in time had only just removed her blindfold and accepted her opponent’s resignation. At the time of the election Cecil Parkinson had wanted to solve the problem through divorce, but was opposed by Mrs. Thatcher, which is not tantamount to a mistress on the throne?

But in the end, Margaret Thatcher did not keep the position of this loyal fan, after two days and nights in hospital to recuperate, Margaret Thatcher finally shook out. As she walked to the prime minister’s car, she was immediately surrounded by a crowd of journalists and photographers, “Can you see? How long will it take you to return to the office.”

“I can see through everything that’s wrong with you.” Mrs. Thatcher looked impatient as she answered this latter question. The original pretense of humor at the moment changed to acerbic, obviously plagued by scandal, she was still at the critical moment to reveal the nature of the failure to retain their own supporters, in her view, a failure.

Mrs. Thatcher, who had just recovered from her illness, didn’t know that it wasn’t a question of failing to keep her supporters, and that stepping down wasn’t the end of the story.
