British Civil Servants Chapter 1527 Early Election
As a matter of conscience, Alan Wilson was really thinking about the political future of the Labor Party. When he saw Callahan's hesitation, he had to say bluntly, "Prime Minister, my suggestion is not malicious at all. To be fair, given the current support rate of the Labor Party,
Say, what can you do if you follow my advice, right?"
Reminding the United States at this time is only good for Callahan personally. Iran has really caused trouble for the free world. It can only prove that Callahan has the long-term vision of a statesman.
Even if the Labor Party may not be able to continue to be in power this time, when Mrs. Thatcher comes forward and takes tough measures against the British trade unions, by comparison, the Labor Party can still retain some vitality.
"The Evil God"
So Callahan had better agree to this matter and follow his advice. Callahan couldn't help but ask, "Sir, I actually know very well that your wife leans toward the Conservative Party."
"That's her business. As the leader of the civil service, I will not be affected by this kind of thinking. We are all eating from the country. We only hope that the country will get better and better. Only when the country develops well can we be given a salary increase.
, definitely not the other way around.”
Alan Wilson answered without thinking. Although he and Pamela Mountbatten are husband and wife, he will still choose to safeguard collective interests when faced with this kind of problem. "And I don't deny that Pamela may prefer the Conservative Party, but absolutely
There’s no need to talk about any inclination, she’s half Australian now.”
"I will send you to the United States to communicate with the American side about this matter." Callaghan finally nodded and let the head of the civil service handle the matter personally. Now the Labor Party is facing a crisis of confidence. The most important thing right now is the approval rate.
I really can't worry about the so-called international situation.
"But the strike issue has not been resolved yet, what if I leave?" Now Alan Wilson is thinking wildly. Is there any conspiracy in this? For example, the Labor Party wants to exchange extremes with him?
As if aware of Alan Wilson's concerns, Callahan directly stated, "Dear Sir, this is definitely not a conspiracy. Your term of office covers almost the entire time that the Labor Party has been in power. For so many years, even if it is not a happy life, it can be regarded as a sincere cooperation.
Will the Labor Party’s current support rate still conflict with Whitehall?”
This is not Callaghan's own understanding, but also partly the view of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Although the two were not a faction in the early years, they did not evolve into the relationship between Attlee and Morrison. He himself and the former Prime Minister Harold Wilson
The relationship between the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister is still good, and this evaluation is sincere.
This is no problem. After all, Callaghan is the prime minister, and it is within the scope of the prime minister's rights to allow him to visit. What's more, the Labor Party does indeed prioritize support as its top priority.
Of course, the UK has reason to complain about the changes in Iran. You must know that more than 20 years ago, the UK also caused an oil crisis because of Mossadegh's confrontation with Iran.
On the economic level, Iran was powerless to fight back that time. If the United States had not acted sideways, Iran would have been brought to its knees.
"I need to do two things, give the Americans the impression that Britain is vindictive, and at the same time play the role of a firm ally." Alan Wilson walked out of No. 10 Downing Street with his hands in his trouser pockets. He hasn't visited for a while. I don't know.
How is your acting skills now? You should take some extra lessons.
Monroe came to visit again with her little brother's supreme authority in being a popular and popular actor, and was ready to ask for advice on acting skills. Is there something rusty about her that she hasn't performed for a long time?
"Shouldn't you go to Hepburn for advice? I haven't won an Oscar!" Monroe stroked the blond hair on her head, teasing the impure purpose of the man's visit, "You political people always use high-sounding words.
The package is for its own purpose. If I hadn’t looked at Little Monroe’s feelings, how could I have let you get so much benefit?”
"You can't say that." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "This time I am going to the United States. Don't I want to communicate with the Americans?"
"Good communication." Monroe smiled and praised, "Although you are a bad guy, you are not bad at all in this regard. You just want me to accompany you, no problem."
During this visit to the United States, Alan Wilson focused on the Iranian revolution and believed that Khomeini was a threat to the free world. Moreover, he not only met with the ruling Democrats, but also specially set aside time for Reagan.
time.
Appearing as a friend, Alan Wilson did not shy away from the current strike issue in the UK, and by the way, he angrily criticized the accumulation of Keynesianism.
In the eyes of others, Britain's problems are indeed very serious, but Alan Wilson knows that this is much better than the same period in history. Compared with the historical inflation of more than 20%, Britain has performed quite well.
The double-sided life of the Cabinet Secretary was vividly displayed in front of Reagan. When he was at home, he always defended the ruling Labor government. But whether it was in the United States or in front of Reagan, Alan Wilson naturally had to decide what to do and what to do.
He proactively mentioned Reagan's candidacy for president and said encouragingly, "Ronald, my friend, you have already run for president twice, are you still working hard towards your goal?"
"Sir, do you think I should still work hard?" Reagan is obviously still thinking about it. It's only the beginning of the year and he hasn't made a final decision yet.
"Why not? Maybe Britain will soon have a female prime minister, and it won't be surprising if you become the president of the United States." Alan Wilson cheered for Reagan in an American exaggerated tone.
Wouldn't it be disappointing if Reagan didn't run for president? Who will pardon two million Latin American illegal immigrants in the future?
Who will follow Wall Street to promote trickle-down reforms, and who will suppress strikes in the United States? Who will transfer American industries out of the country? Reagan has to do these things. If he doesn't become president, who will be president?
"I know that many Americans think it is the previous conflict between Britain and Iran, so they think that my visit this time is to use the United States to sanction Iran. But Ronald, my friend. Maybe others don't believe it, but now in this private setting, I
To be honest, Iran has a huge problem. This country is different from the Arab world that has sunk in modern times. If it is hostile to the free world, the free world will pay a huge price."
Alan Wilson has none of the arrogance he had when he was in the UK. Instead, he is full of loneliness. He seems to be sad for the optimistic attitude of the United States towards the Iranian issue. From the perspective of the United States, Iran certainly looks fine. After all, even the Iranian hostage crisis is a shadow.
No.
Reagan didn't show much importance. He just comforted Alan Wilson out of personal relations and pretended to empathize.
This third-rate actor still wants to deceive the supreme authority? Alan Wilson sneered in his heart. Almost all ladies of the same status as him and his wife have an Oscar winner. How could they be deceived by such a half-hearted deception?
This time, the staunch allies crossed the ocean to remind the city on the mountain to be careful about Iran. Naturally, it did not cause any waves in the United States. It was only laughed at by the Americans, "Are you addicted to being a Greek? It's obviously because you are afraid of the collapse of the Iranian monarchy.
The Arab world follows the British monarchies in their wake."
Although Saudi Arabia is also a monarchy, it is different after all. Saudi Arabia is a pro-American country and is not the same type as other monarchies that do not know how to praise.
When leaving U.S. airspace, Alan Wilson was in high spirits, expressing his joy of running for the country. Monroe didn't know what to be happy about, and could only shake her head secretly, "Does that Reagan have a good relationship with you?
?”
"It's considered very good. He is a good actor, but his acting skills are not reflected in the movie." Alan Wilson hugged Monroe, who accompanied him to the United States, and explained, "Being an official can be compared to an actor honing his acting skills, but I
See, only if he becomes president can he reach the peak of his acting skills."
"He still wants to be president?" Monroe muttered in disbelief. Whether he can pass the Republican primary is a question. Become president?
While visiting Iran, Khomeini launched a jihad against the army that was unwilling to surrender. A conflict broke out between the Imperial Guards loyal to the king and the Iranian Air Force rebels Homafarlan who supported Khomeini. The revolutionaries and rebels gained the upper hand and began to take over the police.
bureaus and military facilities, and distribute weapons and armaments to the public.
Faced with this dilemma, the troops loyal to King Pahlavi began to tend to surrender to Khomeini. The reason why many forces with different views were optimistic about Khomeini was because Khomeini was already seventy years old at this time, and he was
His son died two years ago. In theory, Khomeini had no political ambitions.
When he returned to London, it happened that Mrs. Thatcher launched a motion of no confidence. "The House of Commons has lost confidence in Her Majesty's government," and the government decided to hold a debate and vote.
"Callaghan still agreed to debate with Mrs. Thatcher." Alan Wilson knew the news and lamented that the old-school British still did things the same way. If Bao Zhongtang is in power, unless the party wants to overthrow him, people from the opposition party
Bao Zhongtang can completely pretend he didn't hear the criticism.
In March, after the cold winter, the debate started as scheduled, with Callaghan fiercely attacking the Scottish National Party for joining forces with the Conservatives who opposed Scottish autonomy in order to oppose themselves.
Watching Callaghan's content on TV, Alan Wilson has finally regained his favorable impression of the Labor Party. It is better for Callaghan to step down as soon as possible. He dares to compromise on Scotland's status issue.
After the debate between the two party leaders, the 635 members of the House of Commons will vote to decide the outcome of the no-confidence motion. If the no-confidence motion is passed, Callaghan will hold an early election.
Judging from the by-elections in recent years, the Labor Party still occupies barely more than half of the seats, leading the Conservative Party by 280 seats. However, the Liberal Party and the Northern Ireland Unionist Party both side with the Conservative Party.
As the voting began, the votes for and against were extremely close. When the final results came out, the whole Whitehall was in an uproar, and the Labor Party unexpectedly lost.
"Some members of the Labor Party abstained from voting, otherwise this result would not have occurred." Alan Wilson was also very shocked. When this result occurred, Whitehall immediately knew what the problem was.
