Chapter 1018 The United States Supports Germany

Because of the move to sanction Germany, the support rate of the Eden government has increased. If the Conservative Party had not been in power for only half a year, Eden would have dissolved parliament and used the current support rate to start a general election, so as to establish a larger parliament in the House of Commons. Advantage.

From the words of Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke, Alan Wilson, we can know that the Prime Minister is quite happy with the increase in support and has determined that the basic concept of tough diplomacy is correct.

"Isn't this good news? Jazz." Alan Wilson was a little dumbfounded. For a country on a downward trajectory like the UK, it is best to be less troublesome.

Norman Brook nodded and said helplessly, "Maybe the Prime Minister remembered those great Prime Ministers."

"Being able to do a good job in the economy is enough to be called a great prime minister, and Prime Minister Attlee's evaluation is also very high." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Even if the former prime minister took the Labor Party to visit China and the Soviet Union, he would not be called a great prime minister." Delay Labor supporters think this is the right thing to do."

Eden wants to be a great prime minister? Judging from the current situation, there is no need to even think about opening up new territories. The British territory will only shrink and will not grow. If military force is not enough, the only feasible option is to think of ways to do it in literature.

Strictly speaking, Aiden was the second prime minister after the war. This position was actually a bit awkward. Among the general three-generation heroes, the one in the middle was often the one with the crotch. Emperor Jing and Yongzheng among Wen, Jingwu and Kang, Yongzheng and Qianlong fell into this category. In fact, the Han Dynasty not only had Wenjingwu, but it was the Han Dynasty that produced truly wise kings. Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong mainly had two standby kings.

In fact, the level of the two is naturally not low, but they are afraid of comparison. The biggest defeat before the Opium War of the Qing Dynasty occurred during the Yongzheng period. The Eight Banners Army lost nearly 10,000 people, which has never happened before.

The same is true for Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. Although he has the reputation of Wen Jing's rule, this reputation was mainly earned by his father, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

When evaluating ancient Mingjuns, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty is often inescapable, while Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty usually mentions him in passing, which is very different from the treatment of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

Is Eden going to be a great prime minister? It is best not to do this, otherwise the UK may suffer losses.

You must know that because of the Suez Canal War, Eden ranked last in all post-war selections.

Alan Wilson cryptically suggested that it might take a little more effort from the cabinet secretary to check the prime minister's impulses.

If that doesn't work, Alan Wilson can only expose the fact that the Prime Minister is a drug addict, but when he thinks that the giant of the Conservative Party is Macmillan, the Prime Minister should still be able to save him.

"This is not an era where we can easily start a war." Norman Brook paused at this point. "I estimate that you may have to accept questions in the next two days. The Labor Party is worried about the government's diplomatic philosophy."

Norman Brooke hopes that Alan Wilson will handle it carefully. Although the Labor Party lost the election, its base is still very large. It is in the opposition and it is true that it is strong. It is a strong opposition party.

The Labor Party's questions revolve around the diplomatic field and are related to sanctions on Germany and Iran. The Labor Party is somewhat worried that Britain's current tough foreign policy philosophy will undermine the unity of the free world.

Undermining the unity of the free world? Why is it this again? When Alan Wilson arrived in the House of Commons, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he heard this rhetoric. The person who raised the question was the former Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson.

The two of them once complemented each other in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they didn't miss each other at all.

"Regarding the sanctions against Germany and Iran, it is more about the specific views of the United Kingdom on some current situations, rather than dissatisfaction with Germany's role in the European Community. We all believe that Germany is an important part of Europe. The current frictions are still cautious The control is at the diplomatic level..."

Alan Wilson talks eloquently, and his eyes are sometimes wandering, such as on the backbench MP Margaret Thatcher.

"We believe that sanctions against Germany will bring unpredictable consequences." Harold Wilson listened to the unsatisfactory words for a long time and went straight to the topic,

“Can the decision to impose sanctions be terminated?”

"No! Policy continuity is extremely important to any government, and this is also true in the diplomatic field." Alan Wilson withdrew his gaze and replied neatly.

Not to mention that the ban has been promulgated, even if the cabinet wants to lift it now, Alan Wilson will find a way to stop it through intricate personal connections. He must not let Seal appear in the UK.

Mrs. Thatcher looked at the man who was full of energy and guidance, with a complicated look in her eyes. Looking back on the past, some things still cannot be forgotten, but things have changed today.

The person being questioned by the Conservative Party today was none other than Mrs. Thatcher. Withdrawing her thoughts, she started her own question.

After so many years, the two met and talked again. It was in the House of Commons, under the gaze of more than 600 sitting or standing members. The conference room of the House of Commons has a total of 427 seats, but the actual members The number was six hundred and fifty, which resulted in more than two hundred distinguished members standing.

"She is still nostalgic!" Alan Wilson looked narcissistic. The questions raised by Mrs. Thatcher were not sharp. He believed that this was his personal charm. There was definitely no reason why this government was a Conservative.

Questions in the British House of Commons are quite friendly. In order to adjust the atmosphere, the British have formulated a set of rules. Allow the opposition parties and the ruling party to discuss issues calmly.

The House of Commons is actually a microcosm of the entire British monarchy. In other countries, the power to legislate and govern are separate, and the Supreme Court can have a veto if it deems new legislation unconstitutional.

But for the British Prime Minister, all legislative and executive powers are concentrated in the Prime Minister.

Under the British system, the Prime Minister is not surrounded by a group of legislators, and the British Supreme Court does not have a veto power. This has also resulted in the vast majority of British political battlefields taking place in the House of Commons.

After the questioning, I was thinking about whether to invite Mrs. Thatcher to have a meal or something. Mrs. Thatcher’s questioning was over, and Alan Wilson’s test was successfully passed.

The only pity is that at the end of the inquiry, Alan Wilson failed to achieve his goal of inviting Mrs. Thatcher to dinner. He was rejected, so he was very sad and needed the comfort of Princess Margaret, but the princess was not there.

"Alan, the questioning is over, how do you feel?" Seeing his friend reappear, Makins asked his friend with a relaxed expression about his experience in the House of Commons.

"Are you willing to be crowded together with more than six hundred noisy and smelly creatures?" Alan Wilson asked with a displeased face.

"Of course I don't want to, so I never run for Senate." Makins answered simply, "So what are you going to do next?"

"Try to persuade the Commonwealth countries to stand with the UK on the issue of sanctions against German biopharmaceuticals." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it can succeed, but I have to try, and we don't want them to follow the UK. Declaration of war on Germany.”

"Is it so big?" Makins took a breath, "If it can inspire other countries, it will really be almost like a world war."

The UK imposed sanctions on German biopharmaceuticals and banned German drugs from entering the UK market. At the same time, it also threatened to sanction chemical companies, which caused an uproar in Germany. Many people expressed dissatisfaction with the UK's actions and wanted an explanation from the UK.

Again this caused concern in the United States, which expressed concern about the deterioration in relations between Britain and Germany.

At this time, Alan Wilson had already made a visit schedule, hoping to win more countries to stand with Britain. In fact, he was planning to take the opportunity to go to Australia to visit his wife and children.

Before he has officially set out, the United States, Japan and South Korea have successively expressed their opinions and announced that they will give German biopharmaceuticals the green light to enter their domestic markets.

By making such a move at this time, there is no doubt that the United States has expressed its support for Germany.

A series of derivative events stemming from the Iranian oil crisis have emerged one after another, making the prospect of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States suddenly become more delicate. The United Kingdom and the United States have begun to fight in the diplomatic field.

"You said Japan dared to take the lead." In Perth, Australia, when Pamela Mountbatten met her husband for the first time, she mentioned the recent heated diplomatic friction between Britain and the United States, and also talked about the public opinion in Australia, " Australia has mixed views on this diplomatic spat."

"It's not surprising that Japan follows the United States. The United States is Japan's reborn parent." Alan Wilson said lazily, "Without MacArthur, Japanese women would still go to Southeast Asia to sell their bodies."

Strictly speaking, none of the reforms launched by other civilizations in the face of the impact of Europe and the United States were successful, including the Meiji Restoration. The Japanese army in World War II was in Asia, and it was okay to fight some colonial troops. It is not at all the same difficulty level as Europe, the main battlefield.

Japan's industrialization reached World War II, and it could only survive by picking up scrap metal from the United States and exporting it. The British aircraft carriers launched during the war were ten times that of Japan, let alone the United States, which had a stronger industry.

The basis of Japan's economic success is its occupation by the US military, which was Japan's biggest gain during World War II. Gratitude to the United States is widespread in Japan, and it is normal for the United States to express its stance and Japan and South Korea to follow suit.

"But the United States has expressed its stance. Is there any point in your visit this time?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried. "It's not a big deal to lift the ban if it doesn't work."

"I learned a saying from the East, which is that long hair makes short sight." Alan Wilson stroked his wife's long hair and said, "We can use this diplomatic friction to test where there is still British influence. Things are developing To this day, the ban must not be lifted, otherwise public opinion will turn against the government. The position of the Prime Minister will be unstable."

Historically, Seal has not affected the United States, but now it is better. In order to support Germany, the United States opened the German pharmaceutical industry to the U.S. market. I hope the United States will not regret it when the time comes.
