1431 [The Great Secret] Next
In the UK, there are three relatively large political parties, namely the Conservative Party, the Labor Party, and the Liberal Democratic Party.
Among them, the Labor Party is the ruling party in the UK and the largest party. It has been in power since its victory in the 1997 general election.
In recent years, the Labor Party has tended more to the interests of the middle class and has become alienated from the trade union relations. After Blair was elected as the leader of the Labor Party, he put forward the slogan of "New Labour Party, New Britain" politically, abolished the provisions on public ownership in the Party Constitution, and advocated economically to reduce government intervention, strictly control public spending, maintain stable macroeconomic growth, and establish a modern welfare system. He advocated active participation in international cooperation, had a positive attitude towards European integration, and advocated maintaining special relations with the United States. He is the largest party in the UK.
The Conservative Party was formerly the Tory Party. It ruled four times in a row from 1979 to 1997, becoming the dominant party in Britain in the 20th century. It was the party that ruled the longest and won the most general elections.
In May 1997, he suffered an unprecedented defeat in the general election.
Supporters of the Conservative Party generally come from the business community and the wealthy class, advocate a free market economy. They suppress public inflation by strictly controlling the money supply and reducing public spending. They advocate limiting trade union rights and strengthening "law" and "order". They believe that Britain is part of Europe, oppose federal Europe, and emphasize the maintenance of British sovereignty.
Therefore, both in politics and economic decision-making, the Conservatives and Labor Party have less than a pot of peeing, and they have broken each other and tear each other apart.
As a veteran British aristocrat, Philip Howard is of course a member of the Conservative Party and is one of the leaders of the Conservative Party.
Now Duke Philip’s biggest wish is to drive the Labor bastards out of power in the next general election and let them return to power.
But now the Labor Party is in great power and has many members, so it is too difficult to overwhelm them. If the Labor Party really joins forces with the Liberal Democrats this time, the Conservative Party will be 100% defeated!
This is definitely something Philip doesn't want to see!
...
Duke's Mansion—
In the living room—
At the sincere invitation of Duke Philip, the atmosphere became much more serious from the horse farm to this solemn reception room.
"Dear Song, I know you Chinese like to drink tea. This is the best tea I specially asked someone to buy from China. You can try it!"
Duke Philip asked the old housekeeper to bring the tea.
Song Zhichao tasted it, but it was the best "Laojun Mei".
"Song, I actually like your traditional Chinese culture very much, such as your four classics... I especially like the "Dream of Red Mansions". This top-notch Laojun Mei is the tea in "Dream of Red Mansions". I only realized after reading the book." Philip tried his best to bring his relationship with Song Zhichao.
Song Zhichao smiled and took a sip of tea and said, "I didn't expect the Duke to love our Chinese culture so much."
"That's of course! So I also hope to be friends with my dear Song, but I don't know what Song, you think?" Duke Philip said with a smile.
Song Zhichao also smiled: "Being friends? The lowest foundation is mutual trust, but the Duke seems to distrust me very much. Oh no, to be precise, he does not trust my Wanda Communications Company!"
"How could it be?"
"Haha, if you trust me, you won't let the Li Chaoren and the Kang family in Hong Kong go to this muddy water." Song Zhichao said straight to the point. "You know very well what my relationship with the Kang family is? You know more clearly that our communications company and the Xiao Chaoren's communications company are competitors!"
"Haha, dear Song, it hurts me to say this." Duke Philip smiled. "The reason I did this is simply to introduce a few more communication companies to form competition in the UK - natural selection and survival of the fittest. This is the law of survival. If dear Song Fei wants to say what purpose I have, then I can only say that you think too much."
"Is that so? I really want to think too much, or is the Duke having ulterior motives?" Song Zhichao pointed out, "For you, maybe the Li family and Kang family in Hong Kong are relatively easy to control. Even if they really invest successfully in the UK, they will only become your pawns in the end. And as for me, maybe you still lack confidence in controlling me!"
Philip's face changed again and again. He never expected that Song Zhichao would tell the truth so bluntly, and he wished he would not fit the style of their British gentleman.
British gentlemen, even if they slapped in the face, they should be elegant and gentle. Even if they swear, they should be reasonable and well-founded, graceful and implicit.
But Song Zhichao killed him with one blow, making you unable to refute.
Seeing that Duke Philip was not speaking, Song Zhichao continued to make a knife, "Of course, I can fully understand your intentions. You want to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman! Your love for Chinese culture will definitely make you understand what these two idioms mean."
"So now, what I want to say is that you, Duke Philip, must make the final choice, whether to support the Li family and the Kang family, or support our Wanda Communications!"
The ultimatum given by Song Zhichao, the Chinese, was definitely a great humiliation for Philip Howard, the top nobleman of the British Empire.
But, he had to hold back.
Because from beginning to end, he has not yet pry out the inside story he wants to know from Song Zhichao - why did the Labor Party join forces with the Liberal Democratic Party?!
Philip couldn't figure it out, even if there were other people there, he would definitely not figure it out.
Because of the secret that Labor Party and Liberty and Democracy join forces, only Song Zhichao, the time traveler, will know.
In his previous life, in order to avoid the Conservative Party winning the general election and taking away the political achievements that the Labor Party had finally achieved, the Labor Party took the initiative to privately sign an alliance with the Liberal Democratic Party for the first time, which became the killer weapon in this election and made the Conservative Party defeat it.
From then on, a special scene occurred in British politics. The Labor Party was dominant and constantly wooed the Liberal Democratic Party to suppress the once powerful Conservative Party, making the Conservative Party unable to take over, and eventually forced the Conservative Party to give up some interests to win over the Liberal Democratic Party, while the Liberal Democratic Party was like fish in water and was able to get along with everyone.
This is the political situation in the UK in the future. Generally speaking, the Labor Party is dominant and has always influenced the lifeline of Britain's political and economics. The Conservative Party has completely become an "opposition party" and is constantly "opposing" for the sake of "opposition".
As a veteran, Song Zhichao knew that this political model would be very unfavorable to the future development of China, especially for Song Zhichao to dominate the communications industry.
What Song Zhichao hopes to see is that the two major British political parties are constantly fighting and shirking their responsibilities, thus causing the British politics and economy to stagnate.
All, Song Zhichao will reveal such a big secret in a shocking way.
Now, it depends on whether this Duke Philip Howard is going to be!
