Chapter 134 Senior and Junior
Regarding the current situation in the British-occupied area, the ruling party in London is not without doubts, so they sent a rising star of the Labor Party to the British-occupied area. Wilson himself was a civil servant before, so he was very suitable for this task.
In the same way, the current British-occupied trade committee is naturally very resistant to this former civil servant, the MP who is now the secretary of the Congress. When he was a civil servant, he was ours, but after he became a politician, he became theirs. people.
The most important thing is that such a person who once made us, who is now theirs, understands us very well. The saddest thing in the world ever touched so.
From the point of view of the two deputy secretaries-general, Alan Wilson is an ignorant and fearless person, and he can just get things out of the way.
But Alan Wilson doesn't think so. If Harold Wilson can get to know Harold Wilson well when he was a member of parliament and establish a certain network of contacts, it won't be a bad thing no matter what position he holds after Wilson becomes prime minister.
For this Labor Party Prime Minister, Alan Wilson once heard a passage to describe him, "He is an out-and-out scholar, an Oxford professor, as the leader of the Labor Party, he has never done a day of manual labor, prefers brandy to beer, prefers cigars to pipes, And cigars are just a symbol of the bourgeoisie, so they will smoke a pipe during the campaign to show their closeness to the people."
Hardrow Wilson does not need to cross the strait by boat to experience the hardships of Dunkirk like when Allen Wilson came. The war has been over for three months, and the military airport in Hannover has been cleared, which has greatly improved efficiency.
There was little crowd at the airport, nothing compared to what had happened when Edward Bridges, the cabinet secretary, arrived in Berlin. Only Alan Wilson is waiting, and a few assistants, including Mark the Horse.
Even if Harold Wilson is a Member of Commons? Secretary of Congress, it really doesn't matter to many people.
There are hundreds of members of the House of Commons, not to mention that Harold Wilson can only be regarded as a newcomer? He is neither senior in Congress?
Maybe how long has it been? Once the term changes, the so-called MPs will disappear without a trace. It's not that this kind of thing has never happened, and it happens often.
Hadro Wilson walked slowly from the military plane? He still held his portable pipe in his hand? As a twenty-nine-year-old member of Congress and a rising star in the political arena of the British Empire, he still behaved very appropriately.
As a civil servant, he also understands how difficult it is to deal with his former colleagues.
"Dear Congressional Secretary? Welcome to Hannover? Things are rough now.
"Alan Wilson went up? I don't know if it was an illusion? He always felt that the future Prime Minister Wilson was somewhat similar to President Wilson of the United States in appearance. I don't know if it was a relative hundreds of years ago.
Harold Wilson didn't mind that there were only a few people picking up the plane. In his opinion, this was very normal, so he asked directly? Prime Minister as a reference for decision-making."
"Is that so? Secretary of Congress, the current British-occupied area has been greatly damaged, and my colleagues are all thinking hard every day? I can't wait for the British-occupied area to miraculously go on the right track the next day." Alan Wilson nodded and followed Harrow De Wilson walked around and said, "Language alone is a consideration. Many colleagues are learning German by themselves. The necessity of mastering a foreign language is extremely important at this time."
"They are learning foreign languages?" Harold Wilson asked, then nodded clearly, "It is true that learning foreign languages is more important to work in Germany. If you don't master German, there may be ambiguity when issuing orders. This is what London is worried about. matter."
"Of course, even if I have nothing to do, I still have to learn foreign languages." Alan Wilson thought of Isabella's German teacher, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he looked very gentle.
"I heard that the British-occupied area is carrying out a movement aimed at empowering German women to shoulder the burden of rebuilding Germany?" Harold Wilson asked with great interest as he walked out of the airport and got into the car, "How is the progress going? Is it effective?"
"It is very effective. According to the current progress, Bonn has made the fastest progress, and the urban cleanup has almost been completed. Of course, it cannot be denied that the city of Bonn is not large in scale, and the damage is not serious. Many facilities It can all work." Alan Wilson said truthfully, "But I believe this is a good start."
"That's true!" Harold Wilson nodded affirmatively. "Actually, the Germans in other places don't know whether the damage is serious. The Germans whose greatest wish is to have enough food should not have the time to investigate. We put Bonn Reporting it as an example is enough to prove that the work is going well."
Alan Wilson nodded in agreement. It is a pity that Harold Wilson left his job as a civil servant. He insisted on getting involved in the sinister political arena. The future British Empire will lose a public servant.
But this is not a bad thing. Alan Wilson felt that this time was an opportunity, so he took the initiative to invite Harold Wilson to receive Harold Wilson, because Harold Wilson, who is still a member of Parliament, is indeed a powerful person.
The prime minister who is the queen's favorite and has the best personal relationship is undoubtedly Wilson. When Wilson retired, the Queen made an exception to go to Downing Street to attend the dinner hosted by the Prime Minister. Except for Wilson, only Churchill enjoyed this treatment when he retired. It can be said that Wilson is the only prime minister who has become friends with the queen in a general sense.
Of course, the relationship between the prime ministers and the queen is the worst, without a doubt Mrs Thatcher. Mrs Thatcher introduced liberal reforms, cutting benefits and leading Britain to a financial economy.
Alan Wilson did not comment on the consequences, but the family members of the workers who opposed Thatcher even went to Buckingham Palace many times to submit petitions to the Queen asking her to put pressure on Thatcher, knowing their differences and thinking that the Queen could speak for herself.
When Mrs. Thatcher was in power, the queen's status became important again. Many British people even expected the queen to let this annoying woman go away.
"Oh, by the way, Alan, I heard that you have work experience in British India." Harold Wilson asked after listening to Alan Wilson's briefing, "What do you think of the current plan for economic recovery? Say you've seen the plan."
More than just seeing it, it's mine! Alan Wilson slandered in his heart, and said without hesitation, "I have heard a little bit about the economic revitalization plan. From my point of view alone, this is a very good plan. Between the British-occupied areas of Germany and British India It is very good to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."
"A country's economy is like the unevenness of the earth's temperature. When I was in Xiangjiang, I heard a saying that you can rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to eat water. There are fishermen on the seashore. You can't expect fishermen to farm. Since Germany has this industrial base, the British India also has huge needs, and it is logical to link them together as part of the economic revitalization of the British Empire."
"It's like the industrial revolution. The use of coal promoted the development of the steam engine. However, many countries in the world do not have coal. For example, Latin American countries, how can they carry out the industrial revolution without coal?"
"It's a very novel way of thinking about problems." Harold Wilson expressed his appreciation to Alan Wilson. He was a scholar at Oxford University. When he found out that Alan Wilson was also a student at Oxford University, but he hadn't graduated yet, he couldn't help saying, "War delays It hurt your studies, but it also exercised your ability to work. Now that the war is over, many pre-war students have returned to do their graduation thesis recently. When will you apply?"
"I think in this special time period, the university should be open until the end of the year." Seeing Harold Wilson nodding, Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I can apply before the end of the year." Already? Thank you Oxford for your flexibility.”
Because the relationship between the two is a senior and a junior, and there is an exchange between scholars and keyboard warriors. The hot potato in the eyes of Tim Brand and Harold did not burn Alan Wilson's hand.
Facing the knowledgeable Harold Wilson, Alan Wilson can only deal with the rich accumulation of Keyboard Man. When Harold Wilson was received, there was no hostility at all.
"Actually, at the current level of technological development, any work is important during the post-war recovery phase. Once the recovery phase is completed, European countries may compete fiercely again." Alan Wilson shrugged, "When the time comes Either improve work efficiency, or improve benefits, in fact, there is another way.”
"What way?" Harold Wilson asked with interest, very interested in the whimsy in Alan Wilson's mind.
"It's like the position of the British Empire for British India, to carry out industrial transfer." Alan Wilson said shyly, of course, this is just my personal thought, "In fact, just like the textile industry, there is almost no threshold for the textile industry Yes, any country can do what it wants, and it can be seen from the experience of our British Empire that the first thing is to use textile machines to destroy the textile industry center of Asia, India’s textile industry.”
"The textile industry is almost as long as human history, and it is the industry with the lowest threshold. Almost any country can develop!"
The product life cycle theory holds that all industrial sectors and various industrial products are in different development stages of the life cycle, that is, undergoing four stages of innovation, development, maturity, and decline.
"If the British Empire finds an industry that can be developed and abandons the textile industry that can be developed in any country, then it will be like the textile machinery of the British Empire facing the artificial textiles of India. We may export an airplane and be able to In exchange for millions of shirts."
