Chapter 1606 – Star Wars

The invasion of Grenada naturally aroused general opposition from the international community, in fact, there was originally Britain among this opposition, but Alan Wilson convinced the female prime minister, so the opponents were left with a group of countries led by the Soviet Union and a certain great power.

Allen Wilson, while talking to Washington, warmly endorsed the righteous move of the United States, saying that some countries could not be allowed to adopt a pro-Soviet policy irresponsibly, and that the United States had made a very good move.

“I once heard a very good saying that it is better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to spare absolutely none, and that if it is easier to kill them than to speak kindly to them, they should be killed on the spot. But it’s only a country of 100,000 people, even if we kill them all what can we do?”

Hearing the murderous voice coming from the microphone, Treasury Secretary Reagan was also shocked, “Physical removal is ultimately bad, the secretary general’s intention is good, but it doesn’t have to be so decisive.”

“In short, Britain supports the United States in defending its legitimate interests.” Alan Wilson defended the special relationship between Britain and the United States with an authentic Cockney accent, then hung up the phone and then left for work.

Arriving home in a flash, Allen Wilson shouldered the mission of a good husband, accompanying the richest woman whose children were not with her, the children had grown up, and as the head of the family, he was even more unable to let his wife feel lonely, Pamela Mountbatten was very satisfied with this performance, “It looks like the country has been safe and sound lately, and you don’t have so much work to do. ”

“It’s been fine this year, but next year might be a mess for a while. We’re going after the coal mines, and the mining unions know the government is going after the mines.” Allen Wilson was honest about the fact that the hard stuff was coming.

The country’s coal mining unions have historically been known to be combative, and the miners’ struggles can often have a direct impact on the country’s political situation.

As early as this year’s General Election was in full swing, Arthur Scargill, the leader of the coal miners’ union, made an unmistakable threat: “The result of the General Election will be the greatest catastrophe that has befallen Britain for nearly a hundred years.”

In protest at the re-election of “such a woman”, he vowed to show the power of the workers by organizing a political strike of the miners.

The Coal Miners’ Strike did not take place this year because the coal miners’ union and the coal miners disagreed over the launching of a national strike. According to the rules of the British Miners’ Union, an affirmative vote of more than fifty-five percent of the miners was required to call a national strike. The decision for a national strike was not adopted at the time of the ballot.

However, public opinion preparations for a national strike continued unabated for a year and the number of workers advocating a national strike grew. There was going to be a big move by the coal miners, and the situation seemed to be as clear as an arrow in its string and a sword in its scabbard.

“The government is still going after the coal miners.” Pamela Mountbatten, knowing that her husband, too, was supporting Margaret Thatcher in this matter, spoke up, “The coal unions can be different from the other unions, and in the Great Strike of 1926, the coal unions were the main force.”

“Our Prime Minister is really an iron lady when it comes to dealing with strikes.” Alan Wilson sighed as he took his wife’s hand, “But I’m all for a tough policy purely because the coal mines really aren’t profitable and it’s time to put an end to the home-grown mining industry. Mrs. Thatcher could be aiming for more than that.”

In British political life, the Labour Party is the only major party that can compete with the Conservative Party, and the social pillar of the Labour Party is the trade union organization, therefore, the Conservative Party has traditionally directed the main target of the fight against the Labour Party at the trade unions, and dismantled the trade unions as a means to destroy the Labour Party.

In her election platform for the first general election, Margaret Thatcher made the fight against trade union forces and the weakening of trade union power one of its basic objectives.

Margaret Thatcher herself was at loggerheads with the trade unions, treating them as “enemies of industry” on the grounds that they “distorted the value of labor and had a negative impact on the normal functioning of the economy in other areas” and so on.

The coal workers knew they were about to be abandoned, and the government didn’t hide it, so the strike was out in the open, with neither side hiding its aims, the difference being that the timing of the outbreak was uncertain, the outbreak was certain.

As early as after the election, Alan Wilson gave the Labor Party a reminder that the Conservatives were going to dismantle the Labor Party’s base this time around, with the aim of having no purpose and simply giving Labor a wake-up call. As for how the Labor Party will respond, Alan Wilson will not interfere, now Whitehall is promoting industrial upgrading, but also got the support of the new industry minister.

Even if the coal union is cleaned up, it is still necessary to ensure the continued existence of trade union power, so as to balance the power of the two parties.

While nothing is going on today on the British side, the US military operation has proceeded to the next stage, targeting the isolated and dispersed residual resistance forces of the Gerfan and the complex terrain of the hiding place, the US army has been organized into a company platoon, with air-ground coordination, to eliminate the residual enemies and search for the main leaders of the coup d’état.

At this time the Foreign Office came a good news, the United Kingdom has been on the work of the big dog, as ushered in the return, in principle, this time the formal negotiations on arms sales can be launched.

Alan Wilson of course did not dare to neglect, directly called Margaret Thatcher’s son Mark over, expounded some I have been treating you as if you were my own son PUA, and then began to pass on the experience of getting rich, “to be in a state of secrecy, and the Saudi side of the contact, which is also for the sake of the national interests of the work, I think that it is more appropriate for you to come forward. ”

“Secretary General, I lack experience.” Mark wanted to say something, of course it wasn’t that he didn’t want to go, he just wanted to express his humble character.

This kind of pretentious excuses, of course, in front of the peerless authority is useless, still lacks a little fire, just as if he did not hear, said that this heavy responsibility only the prime minister’s child to step forward, only more to let the Saudi Arabia feel the sincerity, “This is a very good thing for the British empire, it must be done properly.”

Alan Wilson thought about how Mark’s earnings this time must not be a few million pounds. This is the treatment of the Prime Minister’s son, any more will not be estimated, the United Kingdom is still a country of the rule of law, it is unlikely that there will be an excessive amount of political contributions.

Besides, if Mark gets too much, what about his son? He was also going to leave a share for his son on the military sales of strategic missiles.

The U.S. military invasion of Grenada is not yet over, the Prime Minister’s son has already gushed, received a foreign exchange mission, headed to Riyadh, which is the real stealer, and compared with the Saudis, Grenada can be called nothing.

The restoration of the traditional relationship between Britain and Saudi Arabia was set in the middle of the American military operation, and the scale of the arms sale became clearer and clearer, and through the feedback from the Saudis, the Riyadh side was satisfied with Britain’s sincerity, and would likewise respond to sincerity with sincerity.

“The Ministry of Defense’s assessment of the Star Wars program?” Alan Wilson took the budget request from the Ministry of Defense, then smiled and said, “This matter is still to be studied and researched.”

The Strategic Defense Plan for Anti-ballistic Missile Defense System, commonly known as the Star Wars Plan. This program was approved by U.S. President R. Reagan.

According to the plan, twenty-five billion dollars would be spent in the five fiscal years following fiscal year 1984 to study key technologies and validate possible programs for an advanced anti-ballistic missile system in order to decide by the early nineties whether and how to develop such a system.

But Alan Wilson remembers this thing, not to mention the nineties, and then thirty years later can not be said to be a success, this program is a pit, the United Kingdom to follow what to make a fuss.

However, the refusal should be reasonable, Alan Wilson put Margaret Thatcher lifted out, “The Prime Minister has just been in the new aircraft carriers on the issue of the House of Commons and the opposition party noise, at present a short period of time, once again in the military investment probability is not great, so, to take into account the financial pressures well.”

Star Wars program to the United States are a pit, the United Kingdom or do not leave their own traces inside this pit, but the Soviet Union side must have followed up on the plan, the supreme authority still remember the name, seems to be called what the Red Star Wars.
