Chapter 1676 Chief Secretary

Terry Pence and Middleton were both in the prime of their lives, although there was no such thing as a politician’s golden age being sixty, they were reliable at all levels.

The two also expressed respect for the supreme authority, but also leaked out a hint of caution, such as the Finance Minister Lawson’s side, is not also agreed to the permanent undersecretary of the replacement of such issues, Alan Wilson gave a positive response, “Lawson’s side will not have an opinion, this can be assured.”

Lawson’s daughter that are not their own, in Alan Wilson here and daughter-in-law with the same treatment, there is this layer of friendship will not have a problem. He had also heard that the most favorite little cook in the eyes of the British, but also to Malaya to do a few shows, to bring the Commonwealth food back to the warmth of the British beaches.

Of course Alan Wilson felt that doing the show was only part of it, maybe there was also the mission to ride a rocket, anything could happen in this world, who could say?

“Anyway, I’m relieved you guys are doing your job.” Alan Wilson said with a twist, “The Governor has submitted a new candidate for Chief Secretary, what do you guys think?”

“It’s David Hartley, right?” Terry Pence nodded while saying, “We don’t ask questions about the Foreign Ministry, but being in a position of having an image overseas, we think it’s a good candidate.”

“Terry thinks so, it’s similar to my outlook, the image of the Foreign Ministry is important.” The supreme authority was certainly in a good mood as he listened to others praising his son, “We need a Chief Secretary or even a Governor who is young and strong and will have more contact with a major country in the future, it is best for this person to retain influence for a long time, so of course the younger the better, of course this is only my personal opinion, and it doesn’t represent the opinion of all my colleagues.”

If there is really an opinion, Alan Wilson will also Cabinet Secretary’s authority to the unconvinced to convince, really can not be rolled, the British Empire 600,000 civil servants, there are many people want to move up the ladder.

“I believe that you are absolutely a good permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance and Cabinet Deputy Secretary General, in fact, the two major foundations the next time the replacement of the candidate, Whitehall, it is your turn to be in charge, is not it?” Alan Wilson smiled and opened his mouth, “The disadvantage of politicians lies in change, and in turn unchanging is our advantage, to make a stable government from generation to generation, it’s still our own people who can be trusted more.”

As has received the news on the way to David, in his eyes is reliable people, to this age, Alan Wilson understood the Hongwu Emperor’s bitterness, the critical moment or blood relations can be relied on, although the son is too good from the beginning to be criticized, but this bitterness Alan Wilson at the moment is absolutely agreed.

Have reached this age, he also what face, of course, is to choose to maintain the core strength of the United Kingdom as the first element, this core strength also has Princess Margaret’s son Rose.

“After twenty years of being the supreme authority of ecumenism, now all of a sudden bursting with paternal love?” Princess Margaret faced her brother-in-law on the doorstep and painfully opened the door to give the busy Cabinet Secretary General a break, “Isn’t it true that you’re nearing retirement and are particularly interested in arranging the future of your children.”

“You do not know history, do not judge.” Alan Wilson held a cigar in his mouth, and Princess Margaret helped light it directly before he said, “In the East, this is called strengthening the clan. Most empires do this, just to different degrees.”

The Song Dynasty’s clans don’t seem to be very strong, and the Yuan Dynasty’s information is scarce, but the Ming and Qing Dynasties’ clans are both very strong, it’s just that one is strong in the open and the other is a bit more tightly hidden.

Ming Dynasty’s clan in the Hongwu Emperor’s period, that can be and Han Dynasty Jin Dynasty’s vassal king is not much difference, are in control of the existence of the power of life and death, from the absolute strength of the Ming Dynasty’s clan should be the strongest of all generations, and even too many people later on, so that the Ming Dynasty can not afford it.

As for the Qing Dynasty, in fact, the power of the clan is also very strong, only strong is not obvious, Kangxi Yongzheng’s brothers are all powerful, itself is an important force in charge of the central power, Qianlong is more special, he likes to use the relatives, and the Han Wu Di is a type of operation.

After listening to the man’s explanation, Margaret was filled with suspicion, “But after listening to your explanation, you seem to belong to the foreign relatives that you yourself said.”

“Isn’t that because, positively strengthening the authority of the royal family is easy to be caught in this era.” Alan Wilson blabbered without blushing, “If the authority of the British Crown was enough, why would there be a need to snatch the title of Emperor of India? Do I have a point?”

There are only two emperor titles on this side of Europe, the Holy Roman Empire’s originating from the Western Roman Empire and Russia’s from the Eastern Roman Empire.

Both Napoleon’s and Germany’s emperor titles belonged to being self-supporting, and by European standards there was also only one representative of a civilization; the Caliphate was only recognized in Pax Christi Europe, and only a certain great power in East Asia was an emperor, leaving the Emperor of India.

In order to the future of the United Kingdom have reliable people to lead, Alan Wilson knows that power and wealth that is indispensable, not only directly to the money, but also to help guide the way to wealth. So far he has not encountered any children who are dissatisfied with the bad things that happen during the rebellious period of self-expression.

While he was making arrangements for his child’s future, the aging Great British Treasure was doing the same thing, after Nicole Kidman expressed her favorable opinion of their relationship.

“In the eyes of moviegoers all over the world, you’re the real sizzle.” Nicole Kidman was humble in front of Vivien Leigh, and despite the gap in age, she had felt the sincerity.

“After you get married, you will directly take over the operation of my television station in Australia.” Fei Wenli made a generous offer, while praising, “David will be back soon, and it’s widely recognized that he’ll be able to become the number two person in Xiangjiang this time.”

The Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, in fact, is the Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, the number one person in the civil service, but after the seventies, the Governor of Hong Kong was also replaced by a civil servant, except for the requirement to come from the diplomatic system, and diplomats are of course part of the civil service, which is all harmless.

This time it was a crucial step for David, the current Governor’s term of office would end in four years’ time, in 1992, and the last five years of his term would coincide with the big event of the handover.

David had just returned to London and came straight to Alan Wilson’s side, the rocket could be sat on later, it was more important to finalize the appointment first.

“If you don’t mind, you can think about finishing the wedding as well, your mother has been waiting for a long time.” Alan Wilson understands very well Fei Wenli’s urgency, this time directly open his mouth to convey, “Bachelor one is by no means a plus point for civil servants, you have already made it to the chief civil servant in Xiangjiang, if you give people this impression?”

“Is it more important to have a civil servant’s reputation or a mother’s expectations?” Although it was a question, David was keen to find out the importance of his mother in his father’s mind.

“Vivian’s expectations are more important.” The supreme authority answered dryly, back then he was nothing more than a colonial official, Vivienne had already become world-famous, without the fall of the Great British Treasure, where was the confidence he had afterward to cloak himself?

So on this matter, Alan Wilson still can not lie, civil servants of the wind evaluation is certainly also important, but important but Fei Wenli’s perception.

Supreme authority or a lover? David’s heart slandered, but did not dare to make a sound, otherwise, the next second the slap may come up, people’s husband and wife have nothing to say, does not mean that he, the accident also has the same status.

“You in not married, are almost become an old son.” Alan Wilson continued to Bibi chatted, there is more than one of this problem, there is also his daughter Pamela, who has stepped into politics and is more inclined to the Labor Party, Pamela, of course, likes the Greens best, but the Greens are now in a state of wanting to get into the House of Commons is still more difficult.

Mr. David Hartley, who has fought against blackmail and strongly supported the construction of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and saved countless Xiangjiang police losses, deservedly got this landmark appointment, as well as the treatment of holding a beautiful woman, which was unanimously recognized by the whole of Whitehall.

The future stars of Whitehall, Terry Pence, Middleton and the two others felt the same way and readily accepted the invitation to the wedding, “Ms. Vivien Leigh’s adopted son? I don’t think it’s possible that she gave birth to him.”

“That’s not a wild guess, we’re not citizens of the East End of London.” Middleton shook his head, “This kind of thing shouldn’t be our concern, but apparently, the fact that he was able to advance so quickly proves the breadth of Ms. Vivien Leigh’s connections.”

“Any faster than the Commissioner of Singapore? Arnold, that’s the son of the Cabinet Secretary.” Terry Pence lowered his voice, “What’s next? Commissioner for the Straits Settlements? Malayan Administrator?”

Alan Wilson hadn’t realized that he was being gossiped about again by some loafers, who said that the son of the Cabinet Secretary couldn’t benefit society? Is there such a thing?

“This question is better not to talk about, you also have to look at who the mother is, Arnold wants to make out a little achievement, the incarnation of the wealth of the British Empire directly invested. Who can compare this?”

Middleton shrugged, “You know there is a saying in the mouths of industrialists that if Ms. Mountbatten announced that she was giving up her British citizenship, the London stock market would dive a second later. Mind you, people probably live in Australia a little longer than they do in London in a year.”

The wedding hit its peak when David Hartley and Nicole Kidman appeared arm-in-arm, with the two future stars of Whitehall clapping along.

“I’ve got to get the Governor settled before I retire.” Alan Wilson counted on his fingers, it seemed just right in terms of timing, and it was true that in this part of the UK, God, his old man, would have to give himself three points.
