Chapter 1604 – The Grieving Prime Minister

Newfoundland is the starting point for Alan Wilson to really be the number one person, he certainly can’t treat this royal territory poorly, endowed with the heart of selflessness, every time he makes a decision, he takes the local residents with him.

Relying on the long-term vision, over the years also counted in the financial industry, more wins and fewer losses, back to the territory of the residents’ trust.

This time he is also ready to take the residents of the royal territory to get rich after the bubble in Japan blows up, and it is obvious that the oil resources that have just been discovered can take Newfoundland to the next level. So some of the profits from the gaming industry were shared out, and the rebound was likely to be smaller.

The first lottery was issued in the UK during the Long Qing years, in 1569, but in 1826 the UK banned lotteries with the idea that they breed laziness and get something for nothing.

The UK is still in a state of banning lotteries, and some players follow the Commonwealth Lottery issued by Newfoundland.

Since the United States also banned lotteries for a long time, Newfoundland, which started twenty years earlier, had a head start and actually runs the largest lottery in the world. However, with the lifting of the ban on lotteries in the United States, Newfoundland’s lottery revenues were also being eroded.

On the grounds that the US had lifted the ban first, Alan Wilson persuaded the UK to lift the ban on lotteries and issue a state welfare lottery by way of a bill as a source of public funds collection, which would also save the burden of appropriations on the UK government, which would then be available to be spent on more important things, such as military spending.

Mrs. Thatcher also felt that this was a good idea, and couldn’t help but speak, “You’re really nice to the residents of Newfoundland, such a rich place, and find so many sources of finance for them.”

“When I took office, Newfoundland was so heavily in debt that Prime Minister Adderley was thinking of having Newfoundland rush to merge with Canada. As the local administrator I was firmly against it, with Canada’s geographical location, it is sure to be heavily influenced by the United States, and it would be better for Britain to hold Newfoundland in its hands. The population is sparse and rich in resources, and it would be short-sighted to let it become independent with temporary difficulties.”

The British Empire has always been known for the spirit of pragmatism, but Alan Wilson honestly said that he could not understand this too pragmatic spirit, and do not have to be replaced with a too nationalistic country, replaced with France, Newfoundland wants to be independent France have to try to retain, not to mention that Newfoundland did not want to be independent at all.

“It seems that when you left office, the local residents must have expressed their gratitude to you.” Mrs. Thatcher looked at the spirited cabinet secretary in front of her, seemed to recall the old days.

“Of course, I have arguably the highest approval rating of any governor, and none of them wanted me to go.”

Alan Wilson pinched his hands on his waist, bullishly said, “But I am a person who always flaunts a patriotic heart and expects to benefit society on a larger scale, but before leaving Ha and the first Parliament passed the Citizenship Management Act, eliminating the infiltration of suspicious allies into Newfoundland from the surrounding area.”

Suspicious allies? Mrs. Thatcher knew this was the Cabinet Secretary’s superficial and secretive way of talking about the Americans, “There seems to be no way to change the way you are defensive about the United States.”

“How much of America’s attitude towards Britain have you only seen? You were still the chairman of the campus Conservative Party at that time, but I have been in contact with the Americans for many years.” Alan Wilson also did not hide, “Take the Grenada coup of this one time, if the Prime Minister really refused to do so by violating international law, the United States will definitely not refuse, and will definitely send troops to overthrow the regime in Grenada by force.”

“That’s a Commonwealth country.” Mrs. Thatcher didn’t care that her eyes hadn’t fully recovered yet, she directly stood up, “This is an insult to Britain.”

“Do you think America has humiliated Britain less over the years? To be honest, that can be a lot, otherwise after the war very uptight Anglo-American special relationship how come later governments do not mention it? It’s not as if they’ve suffered too much, I told you the French were right to get rid of the American garrison at home.”

Alan Wilson sneered, “Otherwise Cole was firmly opposed to the Panshin missile deployment, and ultimately had to squeeze out a smile to change his attitude similar things, from time to time will be staged, in the United States to suppress the German resistance, the non-existence of the United States garrison of the country have to be vigilant.”

Alan Wilson stated that the Iron Lady was still young and what could Britain do by opposing the use? He concluded that the United States would definitely send troops this time, and the purpose of cutting Britain’s face existed in itself.

“I don’t believe Reagan really did this despite Britain’s opposition.” Mrs. Thatcher stood up directly and said that she would communicate with Washington on this matter.

“America is American America, and the Anglo-American special relationship is nothing more than a headlong rush. It’s all from a position of strength, and that’s the way it is now, and I don’t even know what would happen if Britain cut the Royal Navy.”

Alan Wilson shook his head with a look of please go ahead, the Prime Minister could do as much as he wanted, nothing more than to be rejected or deceived.

But there was a gain, since the Prime Minister didn’t object, there could be a National Lottery Act to prepare for the lifting of the ban on lotteries, the bill was readily available, Newfoundland had run a gaming industry for many years, people were also British immigrants, and the religion was Anglican, so it would work with a few changes.

When I went home, Pamela Mountbatten was watching cartoons with her legs, or Japanese cartoons, Alan Wilson thought that now is indeed the peak era of Japanese comics.

Supreme authority everything else can help, but there is little extra talent on this, fortunately, Japan’s cultural output sorry for its economic strength, not worth the fuss.

“Japanese anime is nothing like American.” Pamela Mountbatten didn’t forget to chat with her husband, “Have you seen the Smurfs made in America? The last time I saw it was in Australia.”

“Seen it!” But it was a lifetime ago, Alan Wilson said directly, “Japanese monster movies are still quite interesting, anime is still a bit stronger in the United States, but then again, there are not many countries that treat anime as an important industry, at present, the United States is strong, and Japan takes it more seriously.”

“I remember you introduced a bunch of Chinese animation, it seems like you don’t make moves in that area these days.” Pamela Mountbatten remembered that her husband had once been very uptight about this.

“Uh, not in terms of production.” Alan Wilson answered very bluntly, the animated films of SCORE are all good animated films, but there are only a few of them a year.

Quietly accompanying his wife to watch the anime, the two went upstairs together, Pamela Mountbatten also inquired, “It seems that in these years I have not heard of any famous Japanese movie.”

“Told you Japanese culture doesn’t have much influence.” Alan Wilson replied, also can not say that Japan’s cultural output is not good, but to say it is very powerful? It was also just a little bit more impressive than a certain big country.

This is still built on the basis of absolute economic advantage, the same period of time comparison, Japan are not as powerful as their own East Asian neighbors output.

At this time, Japan’s live-action movies in the downhill time, and then is the Japanese drama, Japanese music and Japanese comics have to wait a little longer, can still hold out for a period of time.

In the twenty-first century, who are the three world anime? Many people may not believe that there is a big country a, the remaining two are the United States and Japan, but to use the Cold War comparison, anime inside the people of two equivalent to the United States and the Soviet Union, a big country this third, is and other countries to compare out.

This family is currently just the old two, the eldest daughter took Carol to Newfoundland, the eldest son is in the service, the youngest son on behalf of Pamela Mountbatten, and the Middle East feudal lords to solidify their feelings.

“How you make Arnold like a machine.” Pamela Mountbatten still had a heart for her children, and was displeased with her husband’s use and especially his frantic output of her youngest son.

“It’s just one year of use, and we’re going into the workforce next year.” Alan Wilson changed into pajamas to drill the quilt, “Who’s going to protect you and your aristocratic fans when I retire? Or someone reliable.”

Britain still finally decided to recuse itself from the coup in Grenada, and on the very night that Britain decided not to send troops, Margaret Thatcher, who was attending a feast, received a copy of the order to send troops to Grenada that had already been issued by U.S. President Reagan.

As Alan Wilson, who was already sleeping with his arms around the richest woman in the world, said, the United States would definitely send troops from a position of strength, trampling Britain’s leadership of the Commonwealth underfoot.

This is outrageous and simply outrageous! That the United States should send troops to intervene in the internal affairs of a member of the Commonwealth of Nations without seeking Britain’s consent or even saying hello is undoubtedly an insult to Britain and a contempt for the Thatcher Government.

Prime Minister Thatcher, in a fit of anger, immediately rushed back to the Prime Minister’s Office, manipulating the hotline microphone that goes straight to the White House, aggressively questioning President Reagan, and raising a great deal of inquisitiveness, and she asked the United States to call off the operation in the strongest possible terms. President Reagan was also reminded that “Grenada is a Commonwealth country and the United States has no right to interfere in the affairs of this country.”

During the night, Prime Minister Thatcher called and faxed President Reagan on the hotline to call off the military operation, which was degrading to British dignity, until the early hours of the morning.

The American intervention forces had departed, and by the time Alan Wilson came to work, 10 Downing Street had been filled with Thatcher’s resentment.

“I told you the Americans wouldn’t save face.” Alan Wilson bristled, Mrs. Thatcher much to defend the Commonwealth is not necessarily, because the South African issue, this female prime minister is not looking at the interests of the Commonwealth.

Mrs. Thatcher would not feel slapped in the face because of the Commonwealth issue, the reason for anger was because Reagan did not take her decision seriously and felt deeply hurt.

Alan Wilson, who was holding the lottery distribution plan, soon met Mrs. Thatcher, who had a resentful look on her face, and the prime minister, who must have been very hard to bear and was deeply hurt by Reagan’s move, could only speak, “There is nothing to do but to deride the United States with public opinion, and beyond that there is no way out. Let’s just say that the Americans have finally found world domination in Grenada, which is ranked in the bottom ten in the world, and that after the Korean and Vietnam wars, the leader of the free world has found a suitable opponent.”

In this way to bar the United States this time the significance of the troops to do as much as possible to dilute, of course, diplomatic attack or to be, without the need for superfluous modification, the United States of America’s population size and Grenada to do some comparison on the line.
