Harold Wilson was very satisfied with this report and recognized the capabilities of the Cabinet Office. On the contrary, the Water Resources Act he promoted was still in the drafting stage.
He kept the report and planned to use some of the contents in the report to supplement his legislative draft.
The Prime Minister implemented legislation, and the Cabinet Secretary set up institutions to realize the Prime Minister's grand blueprint. In the following days, overseas civil servants from Malaya and the Middle East returned to London one after another. As an important part of the cornerstone of the British Empire's civilization, local civil servants and overseas civil servants
Civil servants should learn from each other's strengths.
After meeting with civil servants who had returned from the two places, Alan Wilson set out to establish two institutions to promote the nationalization of the water supply system. One was the establishment of the River Bureau. It was responsible for the distribution of rivers in the UK and a total of 29 institutions were to be established.
The twenty-nine river bureaus are responsible for enforcing laws related to water resources, river pollution, land drainage, fisheries, water recreation and other activities in the country. This is also the beginning of river basin management in the UK.
The basic principles of watershed management come from the concept of a river as an organic system, characterized by physical connections and interdependencies, which translate into economic connections; managing wastewater treatment and water abstraction locations and operations by the same agency minimizes costs and maximizes efficiency
.
In addition to the River Directorate, a Water Resources Commission will be established. The Water Resources Commission is a national agency whose purpose is to advise the government and river authorities on water resource conservation issues nationwide.
The Commission promotes co-operation on water services across regions to meet the needs of each authority region, by promoting regulation of reservoirs to increase river flows during periods when river flows are otherwise low.
However, the Water Resources Commission does not have any administrative power. It is simply a civil servant providing a new place to work for local government water supply agencies.
After all, Whitehall cannot fire all civil servants in more than 1,400 agencies. This also involves the happiness of many families.
Alan Wilson can't help this. In fact, if you know a little bit about Britain, you know that the proportion of British civil servants is not the highest in the world. But when it comes to civil servant expenditures occupying the country's fiscal expenditures, I, the British, have never targeted anyone. In the long run,
It has been No. 1 in the world since then, and if nothing unexpected happens, it can maintain this advantage into the 21st century.
After settling the matter of establishing two institutions, Alan Wilson picked up the phone and said, "Let the deputy secretary-general come to my place."
Burke Trend originally hoped to be promoted to the supreme authority, but in the end he failed. Alan Wilson could not be regarded as a cut-off. He even expected Burke Trend to continue to maintain the cornerstone of the British Empire. This time
The Prime Minister's nationalization proposal and the establishment of the Water Resources Commission were ready to be handed over to Burke Trend.
As a conscientious person, Alan Wilson definitely had no intention of pushing Burke Trend out of the way, but he was very fond of Burke Trend's abilities.
But maybe Burke Trend didn't think so, but his face was full of whether you were seeking revenge, "Everyone knows that this nationalized water supply system involves 29 rivers and 1,400 rivers.
There are many local governments, water companies and institutions. If steel and coal were nationalized, they would not have to deal with so many institutions. After all, coal and iron mines are not widely distributed, and they can only deal with a few coal-producing areas and
Just workers in the iron ore areas.”
"That's why we must first promote the nationalization of the water supply system. We hope that the Prime Minister will realize the difficulties of nationalization. And having said that, it is only a matter of time to establish a unified national integrated water supply system. You also know this in your heart." Alan Wilson is not salty.
I don’t speak lightly. What if the Labor Party realizes that it is difficult to handle and puts the nationalization of coal and iron on hold? Although this hope is not great.
This is definitely a good thing, otherwise Alan Wilson would not agree with it. More than a thousand institutions are in charge of their own affairs. The water supply is okay, but the most important thing is that water pollution has been pushed forward and no one is willing to take responsibility.
The lack of attention to sewage treatment has led to a lack of investment in sewage treatment by many local governments, and the lack of reward and punishment mechanisms has made the government lack the motivation to improve the quality of sewage treatment.
The rivers in Britain are not clean these days. After much reflection, they cannot be compared with the Ganges, but they have nothing to do with the environmental protection concepts of later generations.
"This will increase the authority of Whitehall, my deputy secretary-general. Doesn't increasing the authority of Whitehall increase your authority?" Alan Wilson asked in a tone as if his colleagues were judging whether you are reliable. "I believe it.
"Colleagues in Whitehall want this to succeed, especially under your leadership."
Anyway, Burke Trend finally agreed. In fact, if Alan Wilson hadn't been there, Burke Trend wouldn't have been able to avoid this matter. Without Alan Wilson, Burke Trend would have been the Cabinet Secretary.
Chairman, he also has to worry about the nationalization of today's water supply system, and there is no way to hide from it.
It's just that now, Burke Trend, the leader who promoted the nationalization of the water supply system, has people called back from the Middle East and Malaya by Alan Wilson.
This may make Burke Trend feel a little uncomfortable, but Alan Wilson is not trying to exclude Burke Trend, saying that I will take the credit and you will take the responsibility, but it is really because of the Middle East
I have done this kind of work with people in Malaya. They teach students according to their aptitude and have absolutely no selfish motives.
After Burke Trend left, Alan Wilson was thinking about the candidate for the permanent undersecretary of the Department of the Interior. Before he could finish thinking, Magins came to report on the Department of Defense.
"How is your minister?" Alan Wilson greeted the new British defense chief as usual, without making any mistakes.
"I feel like the Secretary of Defense still wants to control military spending." Maggins mentioned Defense Secretary Dennis Healey, who has a negative attitude towards some military projects.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I remember Denis Healy is a conservative in the Labor Party." Alan Wilson muttered, yes, he is a conservative in the Labor Party, and there are many factions within the Labor Party.
, especially when he was in opposition, the contradictions were still very prominent. It was after Gaeske's death and Harold Wilson's integration that they were reunited.
The Labor Party was caught up in factional fighting after it fell from power. Although Healy was friends and supporters of the then party leader Xiaozhi Gaeske, when Gaeske passed away suddenly, Healy was in the first and third positions successively.
In the second round of party leadership voting, he voted for Callaghan and Wilson. Healey once believed that George Brown, the other popular candidate for party leadership, was moody. On the contrary, he believed that Wilson could unite the Labor Party and lead the Labor Party to win the next general election. Therefore,
Supported Wilson in the leadership election.
"The key to reducing military spending lies with the Prime Minister. We put the main work on the Prime Minister." After thinking for a long time, Alan Wilson said, "The Ministry of National Defense is very idle."
It makes sense for him to say so. Since the ground war in the Vietnam War began, the Ministry of National Defense has become a key base. Although Britain did not participate in the war, the generals of the Ministry of Defense have been making suggestions as if they were serving the United States.
Alan Wilson understood the generals' belligerence.
Bullying third world countries will stimulate Britain's warlike genes. If you ask these generals to formulate a plan to fight the Soviet Union, they will definitely become pacifists.
Naturally, British public opinion mainly reported positively on the U.S. actions in Vietnam. Only Alan Wilson secretly ordered Richard to dig up dirt on the U.S. military in Vietnam.
In terms of public opinion, the United States will either win today or tomorrow. If you don't know the British newspapers, you will see that the reports are more confident than the Americans' own reports.
After all, it was the United States that sent troops. Is it wrong for Britain to praise the United States' combat effectiveness? The battlefield of public opinion is also very important. Alan Wilson still remembers that during the Syrian Civil War, there were countless unknown creatures happily waiting for Damascus to fall and Assad to be hanged.
At that time, Assad was indeed very dangerous. Only Damascus was still in his hands, and most of the territory had been captured by the opposition. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before he followed in the footsteps of Colonel Khaled. This is no better than the British support of the United States in terms of public opinion now.
More crazy?
The war ultimately depends on the outcome. The crazy public opinion has ended with Russia helping Syria fight back. As for Ukraine’s public opinion victory, it is just a reenactment of a classic.
Seeing that the supreme authority was very interested in the Vietnam War, Makins revealed the Ministry of Defense's discussion on the Vietnam War, "Many generals are very pessimistic about China and the Soviet Union jointly supporting Vietnam. Before, we thought that a rift had appeared between the two countries, but now
It seems like it’s not a big problem.”
"Oh, it's similar to the American assessment." Alan Wilson replied absently.
To put it bluntly, there is no choice. All developed countries will follow the United States. Will the vested interests of globalization just follow the mud?
Developed countries are the beneficiaries of this order. Why should we believe that the order you establish will be better than the current one?
Developed countries are all following the United States, so naturally only two unlucky ones are left to join forces to keep warm. This is actually no solution for the two neighboring countries who once had enmity.
If one of these two falls, the next one will definitely not survive for long. The United States did not win the Cold War completely, which led to constant trouble later. You will not fall into the same trap twice. As long as one of the two enemies is eliminated, the next one will be counted down. Do you hide?
Can't escape.
"I should find an opportunity to find out the Prime Minister's attitude towards military spending. The former Prime Minister's mediation of the India-Pakistan war can be used as an entry point." Alan Wilson asked Makins, "What do you think of this entry point?"
