Chapter 1728: Back on Track
“Our Prime Minister doesn’t seem happy.” Even Pamela Mountbatten could see that Margaret Thatcher’s expression was actually close to, if not fond of, her.
“That’s because of the Atlanticists, wary of not being on the same page as the US.”
Alan Wilson replied, “Which brings us to one of the few benefits of the Cold War, because of the Soviet Union. A lot of the countries that had been getting hit hard had, for a rare moment, a little bit of value in the world. From now on, that value is gone, no one will care what they think anymore, and going forward you won’t see them in the news all year long, and the Atlanticists, while they talk about defending Britain’s status as a world power, actually think of Britain as a small country in their hearts, and in fact, even with the Soviet Union, they are still talking tough.”
The Cold War between the US and the USSR gave the small and weak countries of the world a rare opportunity to develop, and while the Western powers were united in joining hands in their aggression, and while the industrialized countries were dominating the globe, the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America were living in dire straits.
But after World War II, the two camps of the United States and the Soviet Union confronted each other, and the gods fought, and the United States and the Soviet Union each fostered their own allies, so that the developing countries had a rare opportunity for development, and many small countries chose the United States, which meant dollar aid, and chose the Soviet Union, which meant technical assistance.
From now on, there would be no more of that, and in the future, even if the Soviet Union was able to continue to exist, it would be united with the imperialist powers in a blockade of the world.
“If you put it that way, I can think of quite a few benefits.” Pamela Mountbatten went straight after her husband, “Could you lower the tax rates for the rich before you retire, that’s the number one priority in the eyes of my friends, it’s better if you don’t lose a single day, taxes are still too high right now.”
“That’s a problem, now that the Cold War is over, it’s time to get back on track.” Alan Wilson slapped his thigh, how could he forget such an important thing, to say how important it is to marry a good wife, this time reflects the important role of the richest woman.
Since the end of the Cold War, now Britain’s respected industrialists, no longer have to pretend to make concessions, in order to avoid hanging street lamps bear outrageous inheritance tax. It is also time to set things right.
There was an improvement in the general environment, which was a huge benefit, so it had to be Margaret Thatcher to solidify her support.
Now that there has been a victory, it is only natural that the victor should have something to gain, otherwise if there is no victory and no benefit, and if there is no benefit from the victory, then it is not a victory for nothing?
Obviously now is to Mrs. Thatcher to the fruits of victory immediately cash time, anti-human high tax rate, that is a day can not continue, the landlord’s family has no spare food.
First of all, this requires the Ministry of Finance to come up with a convincing tax cuts will not affect the economy of the report, at the same time to get the approval of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, regardless of Alan Wilson or Pamela Mountbatten, both believe that this is not a problem, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is, after all, their own people, this matter can be completely negotiable.
One of the core duties of any government is precisely to take all necessary means to maintain economic stability, and it is clear that the current government should do the same, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed, but after all, it is very much involved, and the Conservative Party is definitely going to discuss it internally, and then again, will the Labour Party seize the opportunity?
“The hon. Minister, the cold war has been won. More than relief on security, the economy comes first.” Alan Wilson paints a grand blueprint for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and hasn’t small government always been what the Conservatives have been striving for? Is small government just specific places?
After some persuasion, both agreed that when Mrs. Thatcher returned from Paris, the matter would be brought to the Cabinet for discussion, and that the end of the Cold War should be a boon to the British economy.
“The Chancellor of the Exchequer does mean it in our favor.” Back in his office, Alan Wilson couldn’t wait to call home and tell the good news to the richest woman in the world, as well as the old beige flag behind the richest woman in the world, “In fact, our Prime Minister has also thought about the issue of political legacy, and I have another idea to talk to her about.”
By the time Mrs. Thatcher came back from her dusty return, Alan Wilson took out two prepared articles, one was the tax reduction act eucalyptus, and the other was an increase in grants for the royal family’s expenses.
Both were important, and he wanted Mrs. Thatcher to say yes to them; he had given the prime minister firm support behind the scenes for so many years, and there should always be something in return.
“Maybe for some people the end of the Cold War really is a good thing.” Mrs. Thatcher couldn’t help but mock after hearing this, “It’s all starting to look toward how to divide the benefits now.”
“Prime Minister, you can’t say that, the industrialists who want tax cuts are themselves important supporters of the Conservative Party, aren’t they? And the royal family is important to the stability of the British Empire, people recognize the Queen, not who you, the Prime Minister, are.” Alan Wilson said with a face full of sincerity,; “Or else you talk to the Prime Minister of Australia and see if people recognize you or the Queen?”
“You have the advantage now of being the sitting Prime Minister who won the Cold War, and have an aura of being a victor, and can use that aura to avoid opposition from the Labor Party. I don’t think the matter will be difficult for you.”
Alan Wilson also began to make an offer, of course the Prime Minister could not be allowed to work for nothing, and he suggested that the Queen would have to give the highly decorated female Prime Minister a hereditary title, bearing in mind that hereditary peerages had not been given since World War II, and were given as life peerages.
With that, Margaret Thatcher would have surpassed all the prime ministers since the 1960s, and could have been compared to Churchill, Airdrie and Aidan, who had already been instrumental during the World War.
“I must seek the views of other ministers.” Mrs. Thatcher knew who the sources of Tory support were, so did not refuse.
“Of course, I’m sure the good news will be here soon.” With a cheering gesture, Alan Wilson said he would wait for the good news to come.
Even if Mrs. Thatcher wasn’t persuaded, he still had a way to finally get the Prime Minister to agree, after all, he also had a forgotten friend Mark who he had always treated like his own son, being Mrs. Thatcher’s only son.
Although Mrs. Thatcher was fiercely opposed to the end of the Cold War, but the chameleon attribute of politicians is still difficult to defeat her, as if the previous opposition is not her, began on some occasions to the Cold War victory to take credit for the role of the self, but also talked about the victory, some of the economic development of the United Kingdom’s views.
After the cabinet meeting, Mrs. Thatcher listened to the views of the ministers, only to know that the cabinet ministers have a consensus on the tax cuts eucalyptus, almost all agreed that the United Kingdom’s harsh tax policy should be loosened, and this time Mrs. Thatcher realized that the tax cuts eucalyptus, it has been such a big trend.
Subsequently in the House of Commons, Mrs. Thatcher made a triumphant speech in a subdued manner, and after firmly putting on the victor’s hat, announced two things that were already on the verge of happening, the first being an increase in the allocation of the royal family’s expenses, and the other being the promotion of tax cuts, and that a change in the taut British society would start with the tax cuts.
Although the Labor Party had objections, Mrs. Thatcher, who now has the hat of the Cold War victor on her head, easily dissolved such objections, and the tax cut eucalyptus was passed.
“Now we can finally get back on track.” Alan Wilson watched the broadcast among the TV, and like the Conservative members of the House of Commons, applauded Margaret Thatcher on the TV screen.
At this moment, the expression of excitement is not only his Cabinet Secretary, there are countless entrepreneurs around the United Kingdom, aristocrats are listening to the Prime Minister for the tax cuts eucalyptus speech as mesmerized.
The victory of the Cold War everyone did not feel anything, but the emergence of tax cuts eucalyptus, only to let these old rice banners realize that the victory of the Cold War is really a great thing, troubled everyone for decades of inheritance tax, rich people tax, finally vertical end of history.
