Chapter 174: The Iron Lady Wants Progress

Essentially, the trope of this speech by Allen Wilson can be found in the following variations on short video platforms, “I’m twenty years old, I have a car, a house, and I’m financially free a successful person in the eyes of others, but just last year I was working a job that paid a meager monthly salary, and do you want to know why that has changed, it’s going to be from… …”

It starts with selling success to start scamming people! Alan Wilson completes the descending blow to fledgling students as a Whitehall civil servant, learn from me and you too will succeed.

Success is not really that hard, and in the case of Alan Wilson himself, the first step to success is to first dig a golden temple!

Once you’ve accomplished that first step you can move on to the next. If you can’t even do the first step, what does not succeeding have to do with Alan Wilson? That’s a matter of your personal ability.

Compared to Alan Wilson, the Whitehall civil servant who is the per capita king of discourse is, of course, just as good. With a lofty and inscrutable look, they make statements that seem to say a lot but actually say nothing.

Compared to Alan Wilson, these Whitehall civil servants’ wordsmithing had never been better, and the Oriental College students were no match at all. Just at this time, the two girls held hands and squeezed in front of Alan Wilson to open their mouths to introduce themselves, “My name is Margaret, and I’m the chairman of the We Need Conservatives party.”

“Margaret?” Alan Wilson recited this very common name, to be honest he only knew that the daughter of the American steel king was called Margaret Carnegie, other than that he had no knowledge of this name.

If it weren’t for being a citizen of the British Empire, if he were an American, he might have run up to Margaret Carnegie and said, “Auntie, I don’t want to try!”

Because the two came over to ask for advice were girls, Alan Wilson changed his hypocritical face again, his attitude was very modest, very good schoolmaster-like, just this girl called Margaret was a bit familiar.

“Yes, that was a very impressive speech you just gave.” The young Iron Lady gave a very blunt compliment, “I’ve actually always been very interested in politics, and I’m now the chairman of the Conservative Party at our school, and I’d very much like to …… have this opportunity today.”

Alan Wilson was wearing a smile on his face, listening to this girl with a face full of I want to get ahead so badly, keeping the hypocritical face of a life coach from start to finish, when suddenly a flash of light appeared in his mind as he looked at the girl who was speaking.

“It can’t be such a coincidence, can it? Mrs. Thatcher?” Alan Wilson’s face changed slightly, the more he looked at Margaret, the more she looked like that Iron Lady’s face, and in his mind, he said, “The Iron Lady is a student of a college under Oxford University!”

“The chairman of the Conservative Party ah.” Alan Wilson meaningfully opened his mouth and tried, “This is too surprising, to be honest there are very few girls of this age that are so interested in politics.”

Said Alan Wilson looking Margaret up and down, straight and seamless legs, yuck!

It was the future Iron Lady with a strong woman’s temperament, the leader of the Conservative Party to reclaim the glory of the British Empire.

“Yes, I am the chairman of the Conservative Party at our college.” Margaret, still a bit young in the matter, could not yet see the meaning among the gaze just now, thinking it was just an expression of surprise, “Mr. Allen has some ideas that I admire greatly.”

“Don’t call anything Mr., just call me Allen, my age is actually not yet the point to comfortably deal with such a title as Mr..” Since he recognized Mrs. Thatcher, Alan Wilson naturally couldn’t make a scene, even if the other party was in her early years.

And he didn’t think Mrs. Thatcher was a silly white girl; her marriage reeked of I-don’t-want-to-try-too-hard.

Margaret Hilda Roberts stood in the Dartford constituency, always held by Labor, and at the time became the youngest female Conservative candidate.

Her active involvement in Kent Conservative Party dinners led to her meeting Denis Thatcher-Detzel, and the two later married. Denis was a wealthy businessman and was able to finance her admission to the Bar, and she successfully qualified as a solicitor.

The importance of lawyers in the common law system cannot be overstated, and Mrs. Thatcher’s own family could not have easily supported her in her dream.

“Alan?” Margaret chimed in, then immediately turned back to the subject, “I’ve actually always been interested in politics, and today is such a wonderful opportunity that I’m very keen to talk to you.”

A little too eager to pursue progress? Alan Wilson put on a high profile and opened his mouth, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, at your age you should put in the effort to prepare for the road ahead, life is not just a straight road, full of competition on the road, full of apprehension, Margaret are you really ready?”

At this time, Alan Wilson, really a bit of life mentor flavor, to the future Iron Lady, the British Empire’s Prime Minister words of advice, the key is the other side is also really a face of recognition, very agreeable, this is very fulfilling.

Through this one speech, Alan Wilson managed to achieve the effect of skillful astonishment, such as harvesting the admiration of a juvenile Iron Lady, who kept pursuing some questions, and even took the initiative to let Alan Wilson comment on himself to see if there was any development in himself.

“Tell you what, I’m having a reception with my colleagues tonight, so if you personally have the guts to do that, stop by and I’ll give you the address.” Alan Wilson thought for a moment, and spoke with a reluctant look, sounding just like a courtesy.

But to the Iron Maiden, who wanted to get ahead too much, it was an opportunity to be sought, and Margaret agreed to it painfully, even to the astonishment of her own friend.

Alan Wilson turned away, talking and laughing with the Whitehall civil servant, and the girl who had followed along beside the Iron Maiden said in surprise, “Margaret, you’re not really going, are you? Isn’t it not very good?”

“What’s not nice about it, I’m an adult. And these people are all people with status and position.” Margaret was full of the air of I’m trying too hard to get ahead, turning a deaf ear to her friend’s persuasion, “I’ll be able to learn a lot from these people, and like Alan said, it’ll be very beneficial for the future.”

In fact, Alan Wilson just said, did not expect the Iron Lady will really come, in the final analysis, the other party is still a school student.

For the political Iron Lady well, Alan Wilson in fact does not appreciate, the financialization of the United Kingdom is her term of office to implement, since then, the United Kingdom is completely no longer possible to develop.

As for toughness in personal style, is it useful for the country? Churchill, now a backbencher in Parliament, is as tough as ever, and doesn’t seem to be changing anything.

By the way, both Margaret Thatcher and Churchill were Conservatives, and it’s still an open question as to whether Labor is to blame for the miscarriage of justice or whether the Conservatives are more to blame for the way Britain ended up in the latter days.

“Hey, it’s a great success.” Henry from the Ministry of Finance saw Alan Wilson come over and did not mince words in his praise, “Your colleagues are all happy for your successful graduation.”

“Let’s find a place to have a drink tonight.” Allen Wilson nodded his head in understanding, there is no such thing as a free ride in this world, it is very natural to compensate people for letting them stand on the field.

“I’m sure my colleagues will be very happy with this news.” Henry nodded his head in satisfaction, “But then again, I always felt as if there was something lacking in your speech.”

“The rest of it is not really suitable to be said publicly.” Alan Wilson admitted painfully, “It can only be communicated within us, it’s not suitable to appear as a speech.”

“I see, when we were just discussing it, we felt as if something was left unfinished.” Henry nodded in understanding, very proud of himself for having discovered this.

As for the rest of the part about geopolitics, it could be summarized as an exhortation to the U.S. not to push too hard on the colonies.

If the U.S. directly scrambles with the relevant countries for the vacuum created by the contraction of the British Empire, the spatial disadvantage will be magnified while the U.S.’s power will be diluted, ultimately gaining nothing, and even provoking resentment and even revolt at every turn.

In fact, if the U.S. and the Soviet Union were on the same level playing field, it is very likely that the situation in the 1970s, the Soviet Union attacked the U.S. defense.

If the Soviet Union had not suffered such heavy casualties because of World War II, all in the same starting point to start the competition, the United States of America an island in the world of geographic disadvantage will be magnified, no matter how powerful the United States, can be projected to the Eurasian continent of the power, but also can not be compared to the Soviet Union itself in the Eurasian continent.

All it would take is the emergence of a country in Eurasia with about 60% of the US’s power to make things quite difficult for the US. Or even be at a loss.

In the evening, Alan Wilson held a reception as scheduled to express his gratitude to all of his colleagues who had traveled to the Oriental Institute to show their support today.

Not long after the reception had begun, the Iron Lady surprisingly did appear and came to the location of the civil servants’ gathering.

The vast majority of the civil servants did not recognize this school student at all, nor did they have the slightest impression of the Iron Lady during the day. Little did they know that in real history, it was this woman, who seemed to be no threat, who came to power and then made a big fuss about the civil service.

Alan Wilson was actually surprised, he just mentioned it, not expecting the Iron Lady to actually come.

He really wasn’t too impressed with this female Prime Minister, and as for what Thatcherism? It stands for a variety of concepts: tax cuts, free markets, free enterprise, privatization of industry and services, “Victorian values,” patriotism, “the individual above all.”

The economic policies contained therein are extensions of economic proposals that have long been widely discussed by the Conservative and Labor parties. The rest, especially those relating to moral themes, are more commonly accepted and firmly practiced by Conservative members, and less so by the general public electorate.
