In order to relax and recuperate at the same time, Mrs. Thatcher decided to recuperate for a while and use the public holiday to go to Switzerland for vacation.
Alan Wilson is of course very much in favor, and he happens to have to deal with some adjustments to the work in Newfoundland. The royal territory of Newfoundland is simply a modern pirate, and the Icelanders feel this very deeply.
But we have to admit that the luck of modern pirates is good. Newfoundland resolutely defended its fishery resources. In the 1980s, looking at the vast fishing grounds in its hands, a sense of pride arose spontaneously. What nonsense is Canada? Can the living conditions be compared with Newfoundland?
The construction of national telecommunications has been slow in the UK, but it has been completed first in Newfoundland. For this purpose, the UK has also laid a submarine optical cable.
This is far from all. Alan Wilson has always known that there is oil in the waters near Newfoundland. When he was the chief executive, he hoped to use this to reverse the local economic situation, but he never found it. In the end, he mobilized labor from Malaya. Plugging the financial hole.
Now, Newfoundland, which is already extremely rich, has finally discovered the news about oil. It is also an offshore financial center, a tax haven, and it controls one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world. Now it has even discovered oil reserves. Considering Newfoundland has such a small population that Alan Wilson would be jealous of it.
"Do you think Newfoundland will want to merge with Canada now?" Taking the exploration document, Alan Wilson handed it to his wife, although there was no need to do anything more.
Newfoundland has its own parliament, so it is entirely possible to go directly to Pamela Mountbatten for mining, but it is more secure to fulfill procedural justice.
"The average per capita in the United States is 15,000, Canada is 13,000, and Newfoundland is 21,000. I would not think of merging." Pamela Mountbatten also lamented the luck of Newfoundland residents.
"Resource areas cannot be calculated this way. Two years ago, Saudi Arabia's per capita income was 18,000. Last year it dropped to 14,000. This will indeed happen if it occupies a lot of resources, not to mention that Newfoundland is an offshore financial center. And there is a world Well-known fishing ground." Alan Wilson said that data cannot explain everything.
Even a few decades later, Saudi Arabia will only have a per capita level of just over 20,000. It is not a big family. Why does it leave the impression of a big family? That is because at this time, Saudi Arabia is indeed a rich country. The oil crisis allowed Saudi Arabia to have a per capita income of nearly 20,000 yuan in the 1980s.
The income of resource countries is unstable, but it doesn't matter. With such a small population, Newfoundland can live in peace and quiet. The residents have lost their will to fight early, which is really pitiful.
"Let my daughter go. Originally, her daughter is in charge of the gaming industry now." Pamela Mountbatten thought for a moment and decided to let her daughter go. As she got older, her career ambitions also faded.
"Bring Carol and the Prime Minister's daughter with you can show London's importance." Alan Wilson suggested, and the richest woman hesitated and nodded in agreement.
The Speaker of the House of Lords, William Whitelaw, insisted that Cecil Parkinson leave the House of Commons, indicating that the scandal was far from over. William Whitelaw's call was also supported by a group of Conservative MPs. As for the Labor Party, More support is needed.
After the election, the leadership of the Labor Party was updated: Michael Foot stepped down, and the young politician Neil Kinnock was elected as the party leader. In this way, the Conservative Party faced a young and promising man who was very interested in voters.
A very charismatic opponent.
Kinnock is a Welshman who is good at oratory, especially eloquent and very lethal. As the years go by and he is tempered in actual combat, he gradually stands out in parliamentary debates, and his debating skills have reached a state of perfection.
With the resignation of the older generation such as Foote and Healey, the leadership of the Labor Party has been transferred to the hands of a new generation.
Seeing the internal disputes within the Conservative Party, the Labor Party would naturally not stand idly by and focus its fire on Cecil Parkinson, hoping that this supporter of Mrs. Thatcher would completely disappear from politics.
"My God, but my friend, by the way, I just come to my senses now, you are so lucky." Alan Wilson said to Profumo when talking about the Cecil Parkinson scandal.
Fu Mo has picked it up. If the affair with the minor is exposed, he will be the one facing this kind of slander now.
And it's not just the issue of minors, there's also the turmoil with the Soviet Union, so it's natural that Alan Wilson should straighten his back in front of Profumo.
"The Conservative Party is determined not to leave this kind of scum behind." Profumo expressed his attitude that this kind of black sheep must be driven out of politics.
"That's well said." Alan Wilson nodded in approval, "The Minister of Industry needs a trustworthy person. I don't know if the Minister has a candidate. I would like to recommend a reliable person."
"How about John Major? I have a good relationship with him." Profumo put forward the candidate in his mind. In fact, John Major entered the political arena quite late and even served as Cecil Parkinson's
after.
"He? Yes, he is a good candidate." When Alan Wilson heard that this was not a traitor from the late period of Mrs. Thatcher's administration, but the traitor was not obvious, he immediately agreed and said that he should meet him if he had time.
After Margaret Thatcher returned from her vacation, the Cecil Parkinson scandal intensified and was considered to be the highest level of scandal in recent years.
Although Alan Wilson respects Congressman Cecil Parkinson on certain issues, it is time to make a decisive decision. "He has no other choice but to leave politics now."
"Do we have to do this? Why can't we stop at it?" Mrs. Thatcher didn't want to kill all her loyal fans and believed that internal and external enemies were too inhumane.
"If you win, you will counter-attack and calculate. If you lose, you will hold a grudge. My Prime Minister, you have never been polite to the Labor Party. Naturally, they will not be polite to you either." Alan Wilson frowned. This woman has too many double standards. Look at you.
How do you treat your opponent, and of course how do they treat you? They always talk about these things, and they are not open-minded at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mrs. Thatcher, who was connoted, looked sideways at Alan Wilson and suddenly said, "I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable recently."
"The Prime Minister shouldn't be old enough, right?" Alan Wilson glanced at Mrs. Thatcher's belly with suspicion. Is it possible that there is a mountain higher than the other? Greta Garbo is not the only one with extraordinary talents? The Prime Minister also has
A strong physique like an athlete?
Mrs. Thatcher, who winked at the blind man, mocked the Cabinet Secretary-General, "Maybe the peach news has not found a truly suitable candidate."
"If you search, you will definitely find two. One person cannot constitute a scandal, just like a slap cannot make a difference."
Alan Wilson was not frightened, but he had no intention of quarreling with the Prime Minister. He changed his tone and said, "You still have to take a good rest. If it doesn't work, ignore the Labor Party's accusations. You are a woman, what else can they do?"
Infuriated by a woman's tone of voice, Mrs. Thatcher, who had to prove that the Prime Minister was no worse than anyone else, decided to talk to Cecil Parkinson and persuade him to resign to avoid the limelight.
Faced with the situation of mass attack, the Prime Minister cannot always protect the erring MPs, not to mention that Mrs. Thatcher is also a woman. A week later, Cecil Parkinson, who left the Industry Secretary, has understood that there is no return.
He can only announce his resignation and leave politics.
This is not a problem that can be solved by resignation, but it is too obvious to pursue it immediately. Alan Wilson is discussing the development of British industry with the new Industry Secretary John Major.
On the subject, Alan Wilson said the former industry secretary believed the UK should focus on finance, but John Major could continue planning along that line if he didn't mind.
This made John Major feel very uncomfortable. The former Industry Secretary was so scandal-ridden that he could no longer serve as a member of Parliament. How could he continue to follow the path of a scandal-ridden person when he took office?
"There is another Whitehall plan regarding the development of the semiconductor industry and electronic communications. Would you like the minister to take a look at it?" Seeing that the other party was not interested in his predecessor, Alan Wilson immediately changed his plan.
Obviously, the new minister cannot follow the wrong line. Of course it is the wrong line. Otherwise, why would the other party have left politics?
Just when the Secretary-General of the Cabinet kicked off the stumbling block, a coup broke out in Grenada, a Caribbean island country and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The head of the government, Maurice Bishop, was assassinated, and left-wing soldiers supported Bernard Calder and established the
new regime.
After the coup, the heads of neighboring countries Barbados and Dominica called on Britain, the United States and other countries to send troops to Grenada to help stabilize the local situation and avoid a domino effect that would affect the stability of their own countries.
"Violation of international law?" Alan Wilson said as if he heard a joke, "In the eyes of many countries, the Falkland War is a model of violation of international law. However, if we didn't fight, you might not be the prime minister now."
"But Grenada has no interests. For such a small country, the country's current financial situation is not good." Mrs. Thatcher felt that the Cabinet Secretary-General was connoting herself again, and asked the Cabinet Secretary-General to pay attention to financial issues with a straight face.
"That's not impossible. I suggest legalizing the lottery. In fact, Newfoundland has been operating the Commonwealth's welfare lottery for decades." Alan Wilson said, "But after all, it was banned in the UK, so
It only exists through word of mouth among citizens. If modern technology is used to promote it, such as advertising on TV, I believe it will not be difficult to promote it. It can be initially estimated that it can bring in more than one billion pounds in revenue a year."
"Can you have so much income?" Mrs. Thatcher was shocked, and then said, "Thinking about it, Newfoundland must have made a lot of money in the past few decades."
"The scale of the Newfoundland Foundation is quite large." Alan Wilson chuckled. "It is no worse than Norway, which has accumulated wealth through North Sea oil and gas."
