Chapter 1636 Justified

Since Mrs. Thatcher said that while advocating the alignment of British and American interests, she would never sacrifice British interests, the matter was simple.

Prove what Britain’s interests lie in, theoretically in the United States, but in reality in Europe, and it mainly depends on whether the friendship of the upper echelons is important or whether the lives of fifty million British citizens are more important.

Even if the special relationship between Britain and the United States is true, more than 50 million British citizens can not do what they should be moisturized, the vast majority of citizens still have to continue to live in the United Kingdom, just think about this point.

The first heavyweight jumped right in, Federal German Chancellor Kohl, who deeply agreed with Heseltine’s claims because he had a good record of working with the British defense minister.

Germany’s economic strength was something no one would take lightly, not to mention its military strength in the Cold War, which was outstanding and an important ground force in the free world.

Half a million Wehrmacht, but also to give Cole the volume to speak loudly, heavyweights out of one is enough, Alan Wilson also do not want to use this to shape out of a European country all against Britain’s public opinion, in the Cole for the interests of Europe, followed by the Conservative Party Chairman and the Conservative Party’s chief public relations officer, Norman Tebbit, to express his support for Heseltine.

Norman Tebbit’s stance represents a portion of the voices within the Conservative Party, and the Conservative Party is not the only one with an Atlantic wing, the European wing is just as loud.

Alan Wilson saw this situation, can not help but think of a series of later British politicians such as Card Celtin and Bow Celtin, although they are also all Conservative Party, but obviously have different tendencies, is not it also the Atlantic faction and the European faction in the latter part of the fight?

Just when thinking so, 10 Downing Street came to the phone, the Prime Minister’s private secretary informed Alan Wilson, Margaret Thatcher is ready to talk to him, which has not passed a few days time.

“I have finally discovered that Mrs. Wilson has formed a broad business alliance in Europe.” As a country’s prime minister, Margaret Thatcher certainly had the information channels to make things clear, and judging from the results of the investigation carried out on this matter alone, she admitted that the energy of the richest woman was really extraordinary.

“Where is this coming from, business issues I don’t understand.” Alan Wilson said with an air of ignorance, “To say that I might understand political issues, the Labor Party should be questioning you again soon.”

“Isn’t it not quite right to be Whitehall’s Cabinet Secretary and be in a position with the opposition party?” Mrs. Thatcher opened her mouth while incidentally pulling away from the two of them, saving herself from facing a war of words, an occasion in which a man is likely to get his way.

“Hmm? Labor MPs are also British citizens, partisan issues have nothing to do with Whitehall, and I’ve never opposed the government with the opposition party, but in terms of personal relationships, Whitehall has always maintained parity with both parties.” Alan Wilson replied sincerely, “The Labor MPs must surely believe that the interests of Britain outweigh those of the United States. Now the Prime Minister should be thinking about how to reply in the House of Commons.”

Even if it was that the Labour Party’s outburst had not yet begun, the mere outbursts of German Chancellor Kohl and Conservative Party Chairman Norman Tebbit had already made Mrs. Thatcher feel the pressure.

For her own casually let Alan Wilson prove Britain’s interests, Europe’s attitude to this matter, Mrs. Thatcher turned her head to forget, she can now remember is the Cabinet Secretary is demonstrating to herself.

Faced with this accusation, Alan Wilson looked putty and retorted directly, “It’s simply unreasonable, it was you who told me to put the word out to see what the European side would say.”

“Even if I agreed, is it possible that you are not wrong at all?” Margaret Thatcher directly waved the empress fist, with a slight pressure, simply raised her hand and threw her foot between the mountains and rivers change color.

“No.” Alan Wilson answered the decisive, this is simply in jest, he is not eat this set, never wife equal status of the lady in front of him both, not to mention the prime minister to do so, “I’m not a cabinet minister, this kind of shirking of responsibility, I will not accept.”

Mrs. Thatcher might as well think about how to meet the House of Commons for questioning, it would never be justifiable to lose a major British asset like that. After all, the conditions of the two programs are too far apart.

So far that even British citizens who are not very good at math can see the difference.

Soon, the members of the House of Commons were so outraged that they organized a committee of inquiry, which, in order to gather relevant information, also requested relevant documents from Westland, including a memo written by Britton to Prime Minister Thatcher on his meeting with Sir John Cackney, the chairman of Westland.

Mrs. Thatcher was certainly not going to admit that she was wrong, and this was a non-existent option for Alan Wilson to go to Heseltine to draw him closer, after all, the Conservative Party’s important rank and file tends to be European ministers, very much in line with the criteria of hoeing down and off-shore balancing.

Heseltine is a Tory reformist supporter within the Conservative Party, the Tory party is the predecessor of the Conservative Party, is the evolution of the royalist party, Alan Wilson felt that the two still have a common language.

While Margaret Thatcher battled her opponents in the House of Commons, the two talked about Britain’s diplomatic focus, whether Europe or relations with the United States were important.

“Britain’s geography is in Europe, that can’t be changed, and Europe is also Britain’s biggest market.” Heseltine replied without thinking, “Even if one values the relationship with the United States, one cannot alienate Europe because of this, not to mention that this time around, there is no way to convince anyone with this program.”

“With a defense minister like this in place, we can trust the importance of the British defense force to national security.” Alan Wilson quipped, “I’m sure it’s the royal family that must think so too.”

In terms of ideological substance and political views, Margaret Thatcher clearly leaned toward the Atlanticists, emphasizing even more explicitly than any post-war Conservative leader the importance of the special Anglo-American relationship to Britain and Western Europe.

Hearing Heseltine’s words, Alan Wilson laughed and shook his head, “It can’t be helped, there does exist such a group of people within the Conservative Party, you can’t get rid of them, that’s a tactic for the colonies.”

While the two were conversing, Margaret Thatcher had already set the tone for the takeover of the Eucalyptus in the House of Commons, “We must recognize that whether it is a car, a frigate, or a helicopter, the stakes involved are not just related to a particular company. It is about Britain’s national interest, and the Conservative Party will make immediate adjustments to its failings in this matter.”

Even at this point in time, Mrs. Thatcher could not admit that she was wrong, and if she had to admit it, it would be that some ministers of the Conservative Party had made mistakes.

“The prime minister kind of careful, my minister, you may not be far from leaving the cabinet.” Alan Wilson is being honest, certain pro-Labour is voices believe that Margaret Thatcher was a de facto dictator who simply never listened to public opinion. And anyone who disobeyed her would be in for a future shoeing.

That assessment, to Alan Wilson, is a fact, and it’s only been a few years since the Tories have had several cabinet changes, and numerous Tory heavyweights have been marginalized.

It may be that someone like Margaret Thatcher with her style of governing brings about instability in the governing team, with the ones she doesn’t see eye to eye wanting to yew replaced, and the ones she sees eye to eye ministers always in trouble.

“Secretary General, I actually have a question, you seem to have many conflicts with the Prime Minister as well, and now you are safe and sound?” Heseltine didn’t mean anything else and didn’t want to take the conversation sideways, but he did hear about it, what with 10 Downing Street being a husband and wife store.

“I’m a civil servant, not really in the same system as the Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson also knew that this question was not trivial, and answered in an undeniable tone.

Things have come to a head, the future of the Westland Company has been determined, united Europe has achieved the ultimate victory, some of the thieves Allen Wilson for a few days in a row do not appear in front of the Prime Minister too much, unless he has something in hand that can ease the relationship, but did not let him wait too long, came ……

From the New Year’s icebreaker in general, the United States and the Soviet Union greeted each other for the New Year, and the system, which had been like two parallel worlds, seemed to turn over a new leaf. Moscow, for its part, is demonstrating its own changes, which also has to do with the fact that London is constantly throwing out bait, with the ultimate goal, of course, of having the INF treaty appear.

Map Head, although did not take the initiative to carry out any major actions, but still sent out a senior Soviet official to express goodwill to the free world, this person is Map Head’s newly promoted cronies, the head of the Soviet Union propaganda department, Yakovlev, Alan Wilson is a very important person to look at the appearance of the people, to this person’s image can not be complimented, looks can not be, and still do propaganda? If you don’t look good, you can’t be trusted. Who’s going to believe you?

Yakovlev later life is the vice chairman of the map head foundation, after its head of the propaganda department, the work carried out, is the Soviet Union from the top to the complete and utter criticism, to criticize the stench and criticize the down, and then stepped on the 10,000 feet so that it can never be turned over.

In all fairness he did a very good job, and even in Brzezinski’s place he wouldn’t have done any better.

“It’s not easy for the Cabinet Secretary to still have time to come to 10 Downing Street.” Mrs. Thatcher opened her mouth full of vitriol; it hadn’t been long since the questioning in the House of Commons and the Prime Minister hadn’t been so forgetful.

“It’s not easy for me to come over so often, the Prime Minister is a woman after all.” Said Alan Wilson immediately added, “I said this in a very neutral and objective attitude, absolutely no meaning to look down on women, I like women the most, my wife is a woman, the prime minister is more long known.”

After the questioning of the ice-breaking trip to improve relations with the prime minister, Alan Wilson directly took out the diplomatic documents that Yakovlev was going to travel, Mrs. Thatcher took a look at the man’s personal image problem with the Cabinet Secretary to obtain a consensus, spoke, “This does not mean anything.”

“The leader of the propaganda department has such an image. Doesn’t that tell you anything?” Alan Wilson pointed to Yakovlev’s dignified appearance and spoke, “This just proves that our enemies are not of high caliber.”

Mrs. Thatcher stood in awe, after glancing at Yakovlev’s picture, she had never felt that Alan Wilson’s words, so well reasoned.
