"Our Prime Minister doesn't seem happy." Even Pamela Mountbatten could see it, and Mrs. Thatcher's expression was almost the same if not reluctant.
"That's because the Atlantic faction is afraid of not being on the same front as the United States."
Alan Wilson replied, "This is one of the benefits of the Cold War, because of the existence of the Soviet Union. Many countries that have been hit hard rarely have any value in this world. From now on, this The value is gone, no one will care about their opinions anymore, and you will not see their news all year round. Although the Atlanticists defend Britain's status as a world power, they actually regard Britain as a small country in their hearts. He was also tough on the Soviet Union."
The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union gave small and weak countries in the world a rare opportunity for development. When the Western powers united and joined forces to invade, and when the industrial countries dominated the world, the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America lived in dire straits.
But after World War II, the two major camps of the United States and the Soviet Union faced off, and the gods fought. The United States and the Soviet Union each supported their own allies, allowing developing countries to obtain rare development opportunities. Many small countries chose the United States, which meant U.S. dollar aid, and choosing the Soviet Union meant that Means technical assistance.
From now on, this kind of thing will never happen again. Even if the Soviet Union can continue to exist in the future, it will unite with the imperialist powers and launch a blockade around the world.
"If you say so, I have also thought of a lot of benefits." Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband directly, "Can you lower the tax rate for the rich before you retire? In the opinion of my friends, It’s a top priority, and it’s best not to delay it even a day, but the current taxes are still too high.”
"This is a problem. Now that the Cold War is over, it should be back on track." Alan Wilson slapped his thigh, how could he forget such an important thing? To say how important it is to marry a good wife, this time has reflected The important role of the richest woman.
Now that the Cold War is over, Britain's respected industrialists no longer have to make pretentious profit concessions to avoid the outrageous inheritance tax on chandeliers. It's time to put things right.
The general environment has improved, which is a huge benefit, so Mrs. Thatcher must be used to stabilize her approval rating.
Since victory has been achieved, the winner must gain something. Otherwise, there is no benefit without victory, and there is no benefit after victory. Isn’t victory in vain?
Obviously now is the time for Mrs. Thatcher to cash in the fruits of victory immediately. The anti-human high tax rate cannot continue for a day, and the landlords have no surplus food.
First of all, this requires the Ministry of Finance to produce a convincing report that tax cuts will not affect the economy, and at the same time obtain the approval of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Both Alan Wilson and Pamela Mountbatten think this is not a problem. After all, the Finance Minister is one of our own, so this matter can be discussed.
One of the core responsibilities of any government is to take all necessary means to maintain economic stability. Obviously this government should do the same. The Chancellor agreed, but after all, it involves a lot, and it will definitely be discussed within the Conservative Party. Moreover, the Labor Party will Won't you seize the opportunity?
"Dear Minister, the Cold War has been won. Compared with the relief of security issues, the economy comes first." Alan Wilson drew a grand blueprint for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Small government has always been pursued by the Conservative Party.
What? Is small government just a specific place?
After persuasion, both of them agreed that when Mrs. Thatcher returned from Paris, they would submit the matter to the cabinet for discussion. The end of the Cold War should be a boon to the British economy.
"The Chancellor's intention is indeed beneficial to us." After returning to his office, Alan Wilson couldn't wait to call home and tell the richest woman the good news, as well as the old rice flag behind the richest woman. "In fact, our Prime Minister
I’ve also considered the issue of political legacy, and I have another idea I want to discuss with her.”
When Mrs. Thatcher returned from her travels, Alan Wilson came up with two prepared provisions, one was a tax cut bill, and the other was a subsidy to increase the royal family's expenses.
These two items were very important, and he wanted Mrs. Thatcher to agree to them. For so many years, he had given the prime minister firm support behind his back, and there should be some reward.
"Perhaps for some people, the end of the Cold War is really a good thing." After hearing this, Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help but ridiculed, "Now everyone has begun to figure out how to divide the interests."
"Prime Minister, you can't say that. Industrialists who hope to reduce taxes are themselves important supporters of the Conservative Party, aren't they? Moreover, the royal family is important to the stability of the British Empire. People recognize her as the Queen, not who you are as the Prime Minister.
." Alan Wilson said with sincerity on his face, "How about you talk to the Prime Minister of Australia and see if he recognizes you or the Queen?"
"Your advantage now is that you are the sitting prime minister who won the Cold War. You have the aura of a winner, and you can use this aura to avoid opposition from the Labor Party. I think this matter is not difficult for you."
Alan Wilson also began to raise prices. Of course, he could not let the Prime Minister do his job in vain. He suggested that the Queen should give this outstanding female Prime Minister a hereditary title. You must know that since World War II, hereditary noble titles have not been given.
They are all lifelong nobles.
With this, Mrs. Thatcher can surpass all previous prime ministers since the 1960s, and can be compared with Churchill, Attlee and Eden who have already made achievements during the world war.
"I have to ask other ministers for their opinions." Mrs. Thatcher knew who the Conservative Party's supporters were from, so she did not refuse.
"Of course, I believe the good news will come soon." Alan Wilson made a cheering gesture and said he would wait for the good news to come.
Even if Mrs. Thatcher was not persuaded, he could still find a way to finally get the Prime Minister to agree. After all, he also had a close friend Mark who he always treated as his own son. He was Mrs. Thatcher's only son.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Mrs. Thatcher fiercely opposed the end of the Cold War, the chameleon nature of politicians still did not faze her. It was as if she was not the person who opposed it before.
He claimed that he had the greatest credit for the victory of the Cold War, and also talked about some of Britain's economic development views after the victory.
At the subsequent cabinet meeting, Mrs. Thatcher listened to the opinions of the ministers and learned that the cabinet ministers had reached a consensus on the tax reduction law, and almost all agreed that the UK's harsh tax policies should be relaxed. At this time, Thatcher
Only then did Mrs. Chelten discover that the tax cut bill had become such a general trend.
Later in the House of Commons, Mrs. Thatcher delivered a speech like a victor's. After firmly putting on her victor's hat, she announced two things that were on the horizon. The first thing was to increase the allocation for royal expenses.
Another thing is to promote the tax reduction bill. To change the tense British society, we must start with the tax cut bill.
Although the Labor Party had objections, Mrs. Thatcher, now the winner of the Cold War, easily resolved the objections and the tax cut bill was passed.
"Now, we can finally get back on track." Alan Wilson watched the broadcast on TV and, like the Conservative members of the House of Commons, applauded Mrs. Thatcher on the TV screen.
At this moment, he, the Cabinet Secretary-General, was not the only one expressing excitement. There were countless entrepreneurs and nobles across the UK who were fascinated by the Prime Minister's speech on the tax reduction bill.
No one felt much about the victory of the Cold War, but the emergence of the tax cut law made these old people realize that the victory of the Cold War was indeed a great thing. The inheritance tax and rich tax that had troubled everyone for decades,
