When the phone hung up, Anna grabbed the handle and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Pamela's son is engaged, so you came here specially. You never ask about my son."
"Your son is so good that I don't need to worry about him, but I have always been secretly concerned about him." Alan Wilson immediately begged for mercy.
The supreme authority has never been so passive in his life. He just knelt down to kowtow to the spy who was entangled in the past thirty years ago, and said in a hasty and shameless manner, "You will be happy if the whole world knows about it."
"I just don't accept it. Why should we be treated differently?" Anna said angrily, "I don't care. When Koch and Hans get married, you have to come over specially. You can't just forget about it."
"No problem!" Alan Wilson twisted his neck to the right, as if he was about to step into the battlefield with a hundred rubles as a mobilization soldier, and he was already prepared to go through fire and water without hesitation.
But even the Supreme Authority, who is over fifty years old, is still busy with state affairs and family affairs, and the lady who has the same status as his wife does not understand him at all, and always cares about minor treatment issues.
Alan Wilson witnessed the engagement of his good eldest son here in Bonn. Although it falls into the category of keeping everything simple, the current domestic public opinion in the UK is indeed not suitable for making grand arrangements. Callahan's statement after returning from his visit was not very satisfactory.
.
The famous rhythm master "The Sun" reported the matter with the headline "Crisis? What crisis?" and the subtitle "Railways, roads, jobs are in shambles - but Jim blames the media", accusing Callahan of being "out of touch with society", although Callahan
Han did not use a single word mentioned above, but he did deny that the situation in Britain was chaotic.
The rhythm of "The Sun" only added fuel to the fire. This short sentence will also follow Callahan's life.
People who are familiar with Callaghan call him Jim, the Chancellor. The play is based on the images of many Labor Prime Ministers. The relationship between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not harmonious, which is Attlee's interpersonal relationship.
The Prime Minister's tenure is clearly a shadow of Harold Wilson's, while the name belongs to Callaghan.
The Sun is the most appropriate newspaper to criticize the Prime Minister. Readers of The Sun don't care who is running the country, they only care about whether it is curvy or not. It is one of the few newspapers in the UK that can embody offshore balance. It's a shit stirrer.
The essence of it all is in The Sun.
While Callaghan was being blasted by The Sun, Conservative leader Margaret Thatcher had been calling for a national emergency to contain the strike in its first week, and she had been calling for what she called stepping-stone reforms.
It requires unions to ban workers’ pickets that do not have strikes as their only goal, prohibit companies from hiring only union members, require secret ballot approval before strikes, and reach non-strike agreements in many industries such as medical, firefighting, and police.
Although the Conservative Party supports the union's demand for a wage increase this time, it still insists on not compromising with the union in other aspects. Wage increases are possible, but strikes cannot be used as a means to blackmail the government. On this point, the Conservative Party
It is consistent with the current Whitehall position.
After establishing a deeper relationship with the Rhodesian royal territory, Alan Wilson couldn't help but said, "How about I look for a few young talents to marry some of your local leaders?"
one time?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the engagement is too simple." Grace also accepted it as soon as she could. Now he was relieved that at least he could have the UK as a backing for his happy life in Africa.
Even if he means this, Alan Wilson is not afraid. He really has the ability to summon young talents to marry Rhodesia with a single order. Princess Margaret's son has a special status and cannot mess with the mandarin ducks. Others and
There are also ladies whose wives have the same status.
By the time we returned to London, the temperature had dropped again, unions and the government were deadlocked over strikes, and thousands of Britons began applying for unemployment benefits.
Mrs. Thatcher made a party broadcast in which she said, as a British person rather than a politician, "I will not issue a party manifesto tonight. The crisis situation in our country no longer allows me to do so." She accused in the broadcast
The excessive power of the unions allows "everyone to strangle the country."
"The union has decided to launch a national general strike to support the strike of truck drivers, including workers from various public sectors, firefighters, public affairs departments, national railway associations, and medical associations."
Just after returning to London, Brest, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, brought absolutely bad news, "This time the trade unions hope that the government will completely abolish the issue of salary increase quotas. This will be included in the joint statement of the major trade unions."
A general strike compared with the general strike of 1926."
Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, "Do you think we will compromise? What does the cabinet say? We have always been with the British for this strike that has been compared to the 1926 general strike before it even started.
Doesn’t the Labor government, where the working class stands together, have nothing to say?”
The 1926 general strike was the largest strike movement in British history. It started from coal workers. At its peak, there were six million people participating in the strike. In addition to the coal mining industry, electrical, steel, railways, construction and printing industries
Workers in all industries participated in the strike.
All the big industrial centers were paralyzed. In this situation, the government had to implement an emergency transportation service of basic supplies and hired thousands of special policemen. Buses and trains were driven by volunteers.
"The Prime Minister has stated that he will never give in and is willing to pay any price in the face of such unreasonable demands." Brest relayed the news he received from the Home Secretary, "This is a very serious threat."
"That's no problem, come on." Alan Wilson nodded and said, "To prevent bloodshed, we suggest dispatching the Royal Mounted Police. The government should also understand that such mass incidents can easily get out of control. Just in case
, there is no need to put out tanks, just machine guns? Let me convey Whitehall’s views on this matter.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The appetite of the major trade unions has finally grown to a point that even the Labor government cannot satisfy. Before the general strike, Jones, the chairman of the Transport Union, elaborated on 100%
The 20th salary increase can be negotiated, but Alan Wilson refused without hesitation. Whitehall announced to the outside world that "the British Empire has not yet reached the point of insufficient manpower. No matter whether workers in any industry go on strike, as long as London wants to, it can
Find enough skilled workers from all over the world."
Whitehall's statement even surprised Mrs. Thatcher. This time he underestimated the Cabinet Secretary-General. Whitehall really dared to stand up to what he claimed was the biggest strike since 1926.
"Cleave a special airstrip for me, keep the international airport open 24 hours a day, call in Malayan veterans, and take over all public facilities that need to be struck." Alan Wilson issued several orders in succession, and then rushed to Downing.
No. 10 went to see the Prime Minister. It now depends on whether the Prime Minister will continue to retreat to meet the demands of the striking unions, or whether he will put an end to satisfying the unions' overwhelming demands in recent years.
When asked by Alan Wilson how to deal with striking workers, Callahan was silent for a long time and said, "If the union's conditions are too harsh, the striking workers can be temporarily fired."
"Dear Prime Minister, you are very courageous. I believe Mrs. Thatcher will also be shocked by the Prime Minister's courage." Alan Wilson said seriously, but he thought it was a good thing. The government's concessions finally continued to amplify the greed of the unions.
, thinking that the government will compromise as long as they go further.
For the Labor government, this decision is not easy to make. After all, the Labor Party has long regarded itself as representing the working class.
But thinking about it on the other hand, it is not incomprehensible that the Labor government would eventually adopt a tough attitude. The Labor Party would not really vote for the Soviet Union, and the Conservative Party would really dare to vote for the United States.
Before the strike, trade unions in various industries had begun to put forward the purpose of the strike. For example, the Royal Medical Association requested a 25% salary increase, but the government did not respond.
There is also the Postmen's Association who wants a weekly wage increase of 60 pounds, the Gravediggers want a 15% wage increase, etc. January 22 is what the major unions call a day of action.
Sanitation workers in London went on strike, garbage bins were quickly filled with uncollected rubbish, and people began dumping rubbish in parks, marking the beginning of the general strike in early 1979.
"Dump all the garbage into the major squares in London." Alan Wilson took the phone and ordered the military driver. "The workers like this scene, so let them see it."
When faced with a strike by medical staff, the media focused on the inability of citizens to receive medical services. At London International Airport, passenger planes from Hong Kong and Malaya were loaded with medical personnel from both places, and British overseas troops were taking military planes to speak.
Medical personnel in the military returned to their homeland, and the Rheinland Army stationed in Germany was no exception.
When faced with a strike by funeral parlors and gravediggers, Whitehall announced that burials at sea could be considered during the strike.
