As long as a nuclear war does not break out, any country will naturally have a variety of means to gather enough cannon fodder and enjoy victory and wine while hiding in a safe rear.
Obviously, with the current strength of the United Kingdom, it still cannot use nuclear weapons to deal with Argentina, not even the original time and space. What's more, now, it is better to think about how to tease Argentina and let it have the idea of taking risks. This is
More difficult.
Under the realistic conditions of competing with Japan for the traditional market, Alan Wilson was prepared to launch a movement to protect the Diaoyu River in Xiangjiang and provoke territorial disputes. However, after careful consideration, he finally decided to leave this move to Argentina.
Although the earth is very big, what if it is used on Japan and Argentina notices it? This is something that must be guarded against.
Of course Alan Wilson hopes that the Falklands War will break out, but he is worried about his own safety. As we all know, the higher the status, the greater the security, so he must speed up his promotion.
With the experience of the Falklands War, I will have reason to become a qualified general or even marshal in the future.
Thinking this way does mean that you will get all the benefits and not bear the risks, but after all, he is your son, and out of a father's mentality, it is normal to do this.
Mrs. Thatcher said during the election campaign that she wanted to improve the defense capabilities of the British Empire. He only wanted to help the Prime Minister achieve his campaign goals and had no other intention.
Mrs. Thatcher rubbed her tired cheeks before seeing the Cabinet Secretary come to her door. She discussed the issue of tax cuts with the Cabinet Secretary, which was also part of Thatcher's reforms.
Otherwise, the trickle-down effect summarized by the Cabinet Secretary is absolutely in line with this privatization reform. Mrs. Thatcher is planning to lower the basic tax rate of personal income tax from 33% to 30%, and the top tax rate from 100% to 30%.
The tax rate has been lowered from 83% to 60%. This is just the beginning. Once the support rate is stable, the tax rate will be further reduced.
"Sir, your summary of the trickle-down effect is very rich in theoretical knowledge." Mrs. Thatcher said when she saw Alan Wilson, she immediately covered up her fatigue.
"Margaret, don't be too tired. Reform cannot be completed in a day." Alan Wilson expressed concern from a personal perspective, as if he was caring for ladies of the same status.
Mrs. Thatcher's face turned serious and she said, "I haven't heard this kind of address for a long time. It's better to be more formal during working hours."
"Yes, Madam Prime Minister." Alan Wilson seemed to have listened to the Prime Minister's order, but still avoided being called Mrs. Thatcher.
Mrs. Thatcher directly explained the discussion on tax cuts just now. As a solution to the union's demand for wage increases, lowering tax rates also reduces the burden on citizens.
Seeing that the head of Whitehall was convinced, Mrs. Thatcher also had a smile on her face, "Sir, do you think so too?"
"Of course." Alan Wilson answered decisively. Although he had never asked, he could almost guess the astronomical amount of taxes Pamela Mountbatten paid every year.
The tax cut bill is definitely a good thing for successful people like Pamela Mountbatten. Why should he oppose it? As for what to do if there is a revenue deficit in the tax cut finance, hasn't there been a decision before? Sell state-owned enterprises. Use the method of selling state-owned enterprises.
This is how money increases fiscal revenue, the trickle-down effect.
In British state-owned enterprises, the government appoints and removes board members and other important executives, determines corporate development strategies, and incorporates corporate income into the fiscal budget. There is no essential difference from state-owned enterprises under the planned economy.
Therefore, British state-owned enterprises also suffer from the same shortcomings as state-owned enterprises under the planned economy.
When corporate executives become government civil servants, corporate profits and losses are not directly related to personal interests. Internal management is administrative, inefficient, lacks innovation capabilities, and lacks market competitiveness, resulting in serious losses.
If there is no comparison, the British state-owned enterprises seem to be just fine. The problem is that many companies are comparable. Take the British Steel Company as an example. There is also a Mountbatten Steel Company in Malaya. They are prospering here, and the local companies are prosperous.
British Steel has such a moral behavior that everyone thinks there is something wrong with it.
"There is one thing, Sir, if you can forgive me, it will make my job easier." Mrs. Thatcher obviously understood the old Rockefeller's words, ninety percent is not enough, I want 100%.
"The Prime Minister can just say, if there is a difficulty, I will try my best to do my job." Alan Wilson said to himself that he would not attack civil servants now. If so, it would be too fast.
"The Price Management Committee should be abolished. In fact, prices should be in line with the principles of market economy. I don't know what the Lord thinks." Mrs. Thatcher was straightforward. She knew that this was one of the many power departments in Whitehall, which was full of people from all walks of life.
Various committees are led by this cabinet secretary.
Subconsciously, even Mrs. Thatcher herself didn't realize that she actually didn't want to be tough on the man in front of her. It would be best if she could talk things over easily.
"If I say that my colleagues on the Price Commission are happy to do so, I would definitely be lying." Alan Wilson smiled bitterly, then nodded, "I will try my best to persuade them not to show dissatisfaction."
Mrs. Thatcher nodded, finished her story, and then asked why she wanted to see her. Alan Wilson elaborated on the Prime Minister's proposal to increase national defense and revitalize the United Kingdom, and mentioned the real threats that the United Kingdom is currently facing to some extent.
This real threat naturally refers to Vietnam.
After Vietnam was unified, it successively completed control over Laos and Cambodia, and has become a political entity with an area of nearly 800,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 60 million.
You must know that the land currently controlled by Vietnam is almost free of rotten land. It is not like the tundra in frigid countries or the deserts of the Middle East and North Africa. These are all lands with development value.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The population of more than 60 million is more than any other European country. If the Federal Republic of Germany had not been tricked by Alan Wilson, the population might not have been
There will be more than Vietnam.
However, there are several million fewer citizens in the Federal Republic of Germany than in history. This means that if Vietnam were in Europe, it would become the largest political entity besides the Soviet Union.
"According to the domino theory, once Vietnam's attack cannot be stopped, the entire Southeast Asia will be in danger, and of course Malaya will be in danger. Now the United States has been frightened by the Vietnamese. Not only does it turn a blind eye to the situation in Southeast Asia, but it also turns a blind eye to the situation in Thailand
Military bases have been evacuated."
Alan Wilson elaborated on Vietnam's destruction of the entire Southeast Asian structure. You must know that half of Britain's life lies in Malaya, which does not include the original Dutch Kalimantan and the current Republic of Kalimantan.
After the Netherlands withdrew from Southeast Asia, the newly independent Republic of Kalimantan also had nearly 200,000 Dutch immigrants. With the welcome of these Dutch immigrants, Britain took advantage of Malaya's economic advantages to exert influence on the Republic of Kalimantan.
This is a pro-British country.
Regardless of whether the Republic of Kalimantan can work or not, the consequence of this republic is that the Republic of Kalimantan will face the current situation in Thailand. Faced with the increasing pressure of Vietnam, the United States directly withdrew the military base established in Thailand during the Vietnam War.
.
Indonesians can think that Kalimantan is part of their country. Vietnam still needs an excuse to infiltrate into Thailand. Indonesia doesn’t even need an excuse. How dare the British ignore this country? Protecting the Republic of Kalimantan means protecting Malaya.
Once Vietnam kills Thailand, Malaya will lose its northern buffer country. Will it not be flanked by two pro-Soviet countries, Vietnam and Indonesia, from the north and the south?
Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that Thailand should not be underestimated and eventually blocked Vietnam in the military conflict, others did not know, including Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister. After listening to the analysis of the security situation around Malaya, he also felt that
I couldn't help but become nervous.
"Supporting Thailand is also to defend the interests of the United Kingdom. Now the United States has obviously lost confidence in military operations. It is not that we have not expressed concerns, but at present it seems that we can only rely on ourselves." Alan Wilson saw the female prime minister
The way he looked, he almost turned his back to everyone again.
But there are still ways, and Britain is not without its own advantages. After the fall of South Vietnam, millions of refugees escaped and were accepted by Malaya. It is definitely not a problem in terms of public opinion.
Moreover, the UK does have a batch of surplus military equipment that can be used to arm Thailand. It has already entered the production level and is preparing to sell tank orders to Iran. If Thailand is willing to pay a suitable price to purchase, we can negotiate. There is nothing that cannot be negotiated.
Supporting Thailand is enough to defend Britain's interests in Southeast Asia and enhance Britain's influence in world affairs when the United States is frightened. It can also add a batch of military orders and generate income at some levels. "We want to organize
An advisory group composed of a group of army officers was sent to Thailand to help them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
In the end, that is Alan Wilson's goal. It is easy for Emperor Shan Gaoyuan to raise the level of Haodaer, but this is not to harm the country, but a win-win situation at both the personal level and the national level.
At a time when the United States is declining from Southeast Asia, Britain's move to support Thailand is indeed good for Britain.
By crushing the expansion of Soviet power in Southeast Asia, Britain's attitude would become a key step in reversing the trend of the Cold War.
The security issue in Malaya cannot allow Mrs. Thatcher to raise objections. "Sir, you can communicate with the Thai government. The government fully supports your actions."
"The Prime Minister's attitude of resolutely defending the interests of the British Empire is really touching." Alan Wilson seemed very moved. Now that the Prime Minister has expressed his stance, he must get in touch with Thailand immediately.
Although the British ceded the isthmus land in southern Thailand, this was not a big deal compared with the threat from Vietnam.
Although the ceding of land will make the Thai people dissatisfied, it is not a fatal problem. If the Vietnamese come over, at least for the Thai royal family, it will be a disaster. At least the Thai king will understand it.
