Chapter 1614: You Can’t Rush It

Nigel Lawson was born in 1960, is now twenty-four years old, and Arnold met at Oxford University, so much for the basic information, Alan Wilson considered for a long time, and discussed with Vivien Lei to make a food program, portraying the image of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s daughter as a good wife and mother.

“What? All over the next generation now? She and your son are quite a match.” Vivien Leigh had no problem with the difficulty of being the producer of an ace British program, but the fact that a man of equal status to her husband was so concerned made her angry inside.

“Her father is Chancellor of the Exchequer.” Alan Wilson squinted at Vivien Leigh and replied, “What are you thinking? I don’t have the kind of energy to care about such things right now.”

Vivien Leigh was quiet for a moment, but having never produced a food program had little confidence, Alan Wilson was optimistic, “It’s the kind of program that the citizens of Britain need most. Let’s see, focusing on healthy food, taking the best from all civilizations and also highlighting the diversity of the British Empire.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer also has a daughter, not to mention a good relationship with his son, and if he is able to help, as a father and cabinet secretary general, Alan Wilson certainly can’t stand idly by.

What was the point of working so hard to go to Oxford to study? It is not to make money comfortably, the daughter of the Secretary of State for Finance can not be exempted, so Lawson was born with, but her father can not sit on the Secretary of State for Finance other people absolutely can not be found personal ability, so directly was found.

“Back then I had to clean up my own tail, you’re already much happier than I am, let me wipe my ass with my ass.”

Alan Wilson educated with his hands in his pockets as he reappeared in front of Arnold, “There’s still a difference, I’ve been away for long periods of time, unnoticed by the natives. You grew up in London after high school and are easily noticed, see what I mean?”

“Get everything else out of the way before you get into work.” Arnold coughed softly as he said this, “Father, it’s normal for you to be nicer to me, of the three of us siblings, I’m the only one who has never stood firmly on your side, how do Pamela and Albert know about your unfathomable strength.”

Gabba! Allen Wilson, who pinched his finger bones out loud, smiled and opened his mouth, “My good son, what are you talking about? My greatest loyalty in this life is to my family.”

Right right right! Arnold nodded his head heartily, “You can’t blame father for some things, there are always some ill-intentioned females out there that are indefensible, I’m experiencing that right now.”

Cecil Parkinson’s court summons has stirred up memories of the Peachy affair among British citizens, an event that was also brought to the attention of the returning Margaret Thatcher, who saw it as a trick by the opposition party to seize on the situation and try to bring down the Conservative Party’s approval ratings, with the courts becoming a tool of sorts.

“Can you behave like a politician?” Alan Wilson retorted nonchalantly, “If you can do some pressure on the Supreme Court, the Queen can do the same to you. That in itself is undermining the principle of separation of powers, and it’s just one minister who’s out of politics, and that’s his own business.”

The Cabinet Secretary sternly rebutted the Prime Minister’s claim that justice was unfair, when it was clear that other methods, such as payoffs, could have been used, and that’s what he did.

Cecil Parkinson will surely be the first post-war minister to be in the dock, and as a warning to uncooperative stakeholders.

Whether one wants to be a role model like Lawson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or a scum like Cecil Parkinson, the former Industry Secretary, I’m sure it’s not a difficult choice to make.

“Do the 300 or so Tory MPs have to save him? I think on the contrary, it is possible to defend British justice by sacrificing him alone, especially in the light of public opinion, which sees the Prime Minister as a man of fierce style and disregard for the rules. The fact that the strike is still going on now, and that the workers feel that you are such a man, makes it all the more important that justice should be properly demonstrated.”

Mrs. Thatcher glanced defiantly at Alan Wilson and muttered in a low voice, “You’d never dare to do that to any other Prime Minister if you were so good right in front of me.”

“On the contrary, successive governments, I’m considered the most compromising to you.” Alan Wilson changed his face to a soothing face and opened his mouth to comfort, “Well, let’s not talk about this issue. You know in your heart exactly how I am to you, and even to your pair of sons and daughters. Well, tell us about the conversation with Reagan.”

Mrs. Thatcher put aside her displeasure with the Court and talked about Reagan’s views on confrontation with the Soviet Union, that is, the Star Wars program that is now being hotly debated in the U.S. Britain’s attitude is not quite the same as the U.S. for the simple reason that the U.K. is geographically a part of Europe, and the U.S. is separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and the two countries can’t possibly have the same attitude.

It is to directional energy and kinetic energy weapons as a means to build a non-nuclear anti-missile defense system, with multi-layered interception, interception means of diversification, deployment of the field of space and other characteristics, than the traditional anti-missile system is far more advanced.

Reagan’s “Star Wars program” was announced, immediately caused controversy: the Soviet Union strongly attacked, and urged the United States to give up this plan; Western Europe is worried that the plan will lead to a new round of arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, and make the United States of America’s nuclear umbrella of Western Europe ineffective, and even induced the first nuclear strike.

As for Britain’s position is of course similar to that of Western Europe, in how the special relationship between Britain and the U.S., Britain’s geographic location can not be changed, conveyed the advocacy of the Star Wars program, Mrs. Thatcher mentioned her own conversation with Reagan, concerned about the existence of the United States of America’s huge trade deficit.

“Wasn’t it said in a way that primarily aimed unfair trade at Japan, but there was also something about Germany?”

Alan Wilson smiled his teeth out, certainty, “In fact, it is the financial means can not solve all the problems, really want to stabilize the economic situation, or to work on industry. But financial means with the garrison of the occupying power is very powerful, Germany and Japan can not run away.”

For the United States in the Cold War victory over the Soviet Union did not even sweat, the Soviet Union fell apart, Allen Wilson is absolutely not believe, really nothing would not have the Plaza agreement. It’s like decades later, the US wouldn’t have had to pick a fight in Europe if everything was fine.

The two are just the size of the problem, the current United States, although there are also problems, but the citizens of their own country can still be hard to rob the poor to help the rich knife, to help the United States top over the current difficulties, foreign in the harvest of Germany and Japan, the two members of the Axis, slow down for a few years is not a problem. Although in the last two years of Reagan’s and the old Bush period, the United States of America’s economic cocktail effect disappeared, economic growth stopped again.

Decades later, it is clear that the problem is much bigger, and not only the United States is running out of cards, but the whole world has very few countries with cards in hand.

Take the UK alone as an example, Margaret Thatcher and then the female Prime Minister both cut taxes, and in Thatcher’s time they could sell state-owned enterprises to cover the lack of money. That female prime minister also cut taxes, there are still state-owned enterprises can be sold to make up for the fiscal deficit?

Britain’s state-owned enterprises were sold out by Mrs. Thatcher, and it is impossible to replicate it.

What is the best way to sell SOEs? This kind of method even Modi old fairy will, sell when the sound of the big country looks really a bit of sound meaning, almost sold out immediately growth came down.

“Sterling, after converting to a sovereign currency, maintains its current share of settlements and will not be subjected to the vice-like grip of the Bretton Woods era dollar. With the resources of Rhodesia and Western Australia, the basic industries of Malaya, we were able to stabilize the sterling area. Washington must not like this reality, but the Soviet Union is there, and Washington can’t do anything to us.”

Seeing Mrs. Thatcher nodding, Alan Wilson turned the tables, “But Germany and Japan, the two export-oriented countries have a big problem. If the share of the settlement of the mark and the yen is still large, it can reduce some losses. At present Germany’s resistance is certainly higher than Japan’s, the yen in the Jamaica conference, is our joint France and Germany firmly opposed to the inclusion of the settlement system in the middle.”

The yen’s share of settlement at the moment will only be less than the world that Alan Wilson remembers, and Japan is more lacking in financial capacity to fight the harvest. So if the Plaza agreement as promised, Germany’s situation will be better than Japan, which is consistent with history, not consistent with this world’s Japanese resistance, worse than the memory of Japan’s resistance.

“Reagan, the man, is no longer quite the same as the post-war American presidents, and he essentially doesn’t understand Europe.”

Alan Wilson continued, “His position is certainly firm, his ability is not. That’s something Prime Minister, as you can see, he’s not really very popular in Europe, and the support for him comes mainly from the strength of the United States as a nation, not from how charismatic he is, and if he were Soviet, the old man’s political hat would have been on him a long time ago.”

President Reagan was a U.S. president who did not understand Europe, and he bruised its feelings many times. After proposing the Star Wars program, Reagan had gone to great lengths to gain European support and participation: senior American officials ran to Europe one after another to lobby; American representatives even pressed the allies at NATO meetings to contribute.

The result is contrary to expectations, the more the United States insists, the more Europe is hesitant, and even fundamentally doubt the feasibility; fear that once the Star Wars start, the missile race will be transferred to the space, fear that a kind of “Yalta in space” may be put in the interests of Europe in disregard of the European interests, and then Europe and the United States will be completely decoupled from the defense.

This is the behavior of the King of Knowledge, Reagan as the King of Knowledge of the idol is definitely attractive to the King of Knowledge of the qualities, Alan Wilson suggested to Margaret Thatcher, “just deployed in Germany, so what? I’m sure Kohl wouldn’t dare refuse, and in recent years as Germany’s economy has grown, it seems to have forgotten that it’s a defeated country. Star Wars and America’s deficit problems will make the Germans realize what they should be doing.”

“As for our attitude in Britain, I would suggest that we treat the strike without undue haste and wait until the United States has determined to take measures against Germany and Japan before we put the strike at home to bed.”
