Chapter 997 – A New Government, A New Vision

The backseat councilor was so desperate that it made him frustrated, as if he hadn’t felt this way in a long time.

Was there any misunderstanding that couldn’t be uncovered through communication? People who engaged in politics were indeed scary.

In any case, it was time for a fresh start, and in his heart, even if he didn’t want to, the Foreign Office welcomed a new Foreign Secretary, Macmillan, the one who had said during World War II that the United States was to Britain what the Roman Empire was to Greece, and who didn’t seem to be very reliable.

Rumors that the Foreign Secretary had been cuckolded and that his daughter was not his own were strictly forbidden to be spread, and violators would be severely punished, so it was hard to know what kind of dark-minded person would spread such unfavorable statements about the Foreign Secretary.

But as Permanent Under Secretary of the Foreign Office, Alan Wilson had a duty to uphold the authority of the Minister and find the source of the non-existent rumor.

Temporarily suppressing his frustration with Margaret Thatcher, Alan Wilson expressed a warm welcome to Macmillan, the new Foreign Secretary, “The Empire’s diplomacy is sure to usher in a new era.”

Macmillan is also the same as Aidan, before the war is an important figure in the Conservative Party, at that time, he was in the prime of life, young in high position, certainly would not have thought that it seems to lead the United Kingdom to win the Second World War, the Conservative Party, there are signs of the river and mountain forever, will be beaten by the Labor Party to defeat, and then come back has been fourteen years later.

It didn’t have to take so long, but who let the world take a slight turn for the worse? So five years became fourteen, and back came Aidan, and Macmillan, who was a bit of a droopy old man.

“Sir Wilson, the Foreign Office, with such a young permanent undersecretary at its head, must bring a new perspective to the work.” Macmillan could not afford to be sentimental, and immediately responded with a smile, “Young people always have so many whimsical ideas.”

After being away for fourteen years, Macmillan was not prepared to make a big move just after returning, first seeing how things were now.

Fourteen years was not a short period of time, and a lot of things had already changed, taking a conservative approach to wait and see was the best option.

“I’m glad the minister thinks so.” Alan Wilson nodded his head gently, he had plenty of whims, how else would he have made the national treasure of the British Empire fall in love with him and give birth to an illegitimate child?

Macmillan wasn’t fit to know about it, though, considering the rumors on the Foreign Secretary, supposedly hating a presence like old Al next door, not to mention being his own permanent undersecretary.

The Foreign Office of the day was still very busy, unlike a few decades later, when it was just a matter of concentrating on licking the Americans.

For now, British interests are still all over the world, enough for Macmillan to find out firsthand how the new government is going to take a stand against the de Gaulle government for getting nuclear weapons out of France now that the election is over?

Should the already scheduled trip to the Soviet Union in two months continue, and with the Iranian oil crisis in the Middle East still being contested, what about the next stage?

And, of course, there was the first visit to the United States or Canada, which, unsurprisingly, would be the United States or Canada, and there were enough of these problems to keep Macmillan busy for a while.

It was not a problem encountered by one department of the Foreign Office, but a problem across the board, with much the same thing happening in all departments at the moment, welcoming new ministers and bonding.

“Margaret, Margaret ……” whispered Alan Wilson, who had been left out in the cold by the backbenchers and was in a state of godawfulness as he hugged Her Royal Highness, who had come to secure the logistics.

“Brother-in-law, I’m in.” Placed in the midst of a shocking wave, the honorable Princess Royal still did not forget to pant in response.

In Princess Margaret’s place, Alan Wilson got more, which was an exclusive treatment belonging to the free world. In exchange for the Soviet system countries, it is likely that there will be style problems.

Happiness is also limited to such a moment, the previous unsuccessful PUA, is to solve the misunderstanding of Alan Wilson, in the other Margaret on the opening of the current round of PUA, holding the aftermath of the cigarette sighing, “This is not going to work, hey.”

Her Royal Highness, who recalls the taste of a rocket ride, lethargically whispers, “What’s wrong? I let those agents leave.”

“It’s a hidden danger after all, it’s not like I can control the people in the fifth office.” Alan Wilson wrapped his arms around his sister-in-law’s petite body, his face full of sorrow, “In England, you are a royal princess, once exposed, it’s a heavenly scandal. It would be good if you weren’t a princess.”

This kind of sneaking around was rather unfree and not in line with the idea of the free world.

That’s what Allen Wilson thought anyway, although if you didn’t catch it, you didn’t have it, and as long as your skin was thick enough, no one could say anything. But this was clearly not what Alan Wilson wanted.

“I’ll quit the royal family.” Princess Margaret love brain on the head, very determined to look up, looking at the man’s eyes, “so that the royal treatment can no longer cause constraints on me. Everything in the future is also in nothing to do with the royal family.”

Alan Wilson’s heart was happy, this is exactly his purpose, but his face appeared diametrically opposite expression, and there was also a guilty color in his eyes, “Margaret, so your sacrifice is not too big, how can I be so selfish ……”

PUA a moment of pleasure, has been PUA a straight pleasure, begged Alan Wilson a set of words thrown out, the more it shows the unbearable weight of life, Princess Margaret more and more made up her mind, love brain more and more firm, “I don’t want what the royal princess, in order to you, everything is worth it.”

“Whether man or woman, honor is the most intimate treasure in their souls, if someone stole my money bag, he but stole some waste, that is nothing more than some worthless things.”

Alan Wilson hugged Princess Margaret tightly and whispered with affection, “You are a complete fool.”

“Your fool.” Margaret’s face was full of fondness, in the midst of the happiness of being PUA.

Alan Wilson decided to tailor a two-year medium-term plan for the Princess to step away from the royal family, which is currently in draft form, and Her Highness, who rode the rocket twice, left refreshed and reappeared in the field of view of the agents.

As the dust settles after the election, nothing looks fundamentally different, the differences are confined to Whitehall, and then there is the military, tame the ministers, or be tamed, a question that will not see the light of day any time soon.

It wasn’t just Whitehall as a whole that was troubled by the new government, but the military as well. Field Marshal Mountbatten came across the idea of Duncan Sands, the Secretary of State for Defense, pointing out the need to cut back on military spending to ease the financial pressure. Duncan Sands was Churchill’s son-in-law.

“Duncan, I would have thought that the Conservatives would have been a little more lenient on military spending than Labor.” Field Marshal Mountbatten, full of disappointment, said in terms of personal friendship, “Is this the same Conservative Party I knew amongst others? Or is the Conservative Party not the same as it was in Prime Minister Churchill’s day?”

Marshal Mountbatten pulled Churchill out of the picture, causing some embarrassment for Duncan Sands; that was his father-in-law. Although out of politics, he was still the equivalent of a great Prime Minister in the eyes of a section of the Conservative Party. At least the credit for leading Britain to win the World War was indelible.

Though there are many who believe that Adderley’s tenure as Prime Minister was even greater and more successful than Churchill’s.

“Cutting a portion of the army is not about weakening Britain’s defense force, quite the contrary, we are about making it stronger and putting money into more important areas.” Duncan Sands aggravated, “And at this point in time, the role of the Royal Navy.”

“The role of the Royal Navy is clear when you look at whether the United States views the American Navy. Khrushchev downplayed the role of the Navy because the Soviet Red Navy was not very good.” Unperturbed, Field Marshal Mountbatten retorted in his son-in-law’s tone, “Perhaps you think, Duncan, that the Soviets must have a greater understanding of the Navy than Britain, which is to say nothing of me.”

Of course, Marshal Mountbatten did not forcefully not back down at all, his son-in-law was really in the perspective of prevention, a disarmament plan, the previous consolidation of the British Oceania Territory was also because of this reason.

With the newly formed South Island Army Corps, replacing part of the British garrison in Africa, the spare British troops back to Europe, or sent to the Middle East, or directly into the share of disarmament.

In order to achieve the purpose of optimization of military expenditure, as for the heavy aircraft carriers Duncan Sands don’t want to move, four heavy aircraft carriers have already begun, with the efficiency of the British shipbuilding, now each one of them are over half of the schedule, want to stop the work is already too late.

And there is also an Australian one, there is no reason to stop the work, the Australian side may think that this batch of heavy aircraft carriers have some defects, which will cause devastating blow to the future military sales.

Arms sales are a great means for Britain to relieve its naval stock, such as the Tutankhamun-class submarines, a batch of which was sold to Portugal before, and now a batch of which is ready to be sold to the Netherlands to strengthen the Royal Netherlands Navy in the East Indies.

“So that only the total number of the same situation, the military expenditure will be optimized. There is a combat force distribution of different geographic areas will be resolved, to maintain the global interests of the pressure that exists on the strength of the troops.” Field Marshal Mountbatten spoke eloquently, “The Middle East is an energy center, Britain has an obligation to protect the small countries there from being swept up in the middle of the conflict, Malaya is an important production base, and the Far East forces can not be cut, so it is very irresponsible to want to bring the military figures down on the books.”

Optimization is possible, but Britain has to find replacement soldiers to free up the British Army to cut the numbers accordingly. That means that the desire to disarm is good, but there are ways and means to do it.

It’s not just the Ministry of Defense that’s doing this; a similar scene is happening at the Treasury, the Home Office, and the LAM. We all know it makes sense to do so, but …… my Great Britain has its own national situation here.

Because his wife went to Australia, tea and food, thinning Alan Wilson, as the walking dead generally to the Foreign Secretary’s office, I do not know what Macmillan sell drugs, is there any grand blueprint? Better not.
