Chapter 134: Seniors and Younger Brothers
The ruling party in London was not entirely concerned about the current situation in the British-occupied zone, so it sent a new star of the Labour Party to the British-occupied zone, and Wilson himself was a former civil servant, so it was suitable for this task.
In the same way, the current British-occupied Zone Trade Commission is naturally very resistant to this former civil servant, the current parliamentary secretary, who was our man when he was a civil servant, but when he became a politician, he became their man.
The most important thing is that such a person who once made us, and is now theirs, knows us very well. The saddest thing in the world has ever touched so.
In the eyes of the two Deputy Secretaries-General, Alan Wilson is an ignorant and fearless, and he can just get the thing off the way.
But Alan Wilson doesn't think so, if he can get acquainted with Harold Wilson when he is still a member of the House of Commons, establish a certain network, and wait until Wilson becomes prime minister, no matter what position he is in, it is not a bad thing.
Alan Wilson once heard a passage about this Labour Prime Minister, "A complete scholar, an Oxford professor, as the leader of the Labour Party, who has never done a day of manual labor, who likes brandy rather than no beer, and cigars that are the symbol of the bourgeoisie, so he will hold a pipe during the election campaign to show his closeness to the people." ”
Hadro Wilson did not have to cross the Channel by boat, as Alan Wilson had done when he came, and experienced the hardships of Dunkirk, three months after the end of the war, the military airfield in Hanover had been cleared, which greatly improved efficiency.
The battle at the airport was not as big as it was when Cabinet Secretary Edward Bridges arrived in Berlin. Only Alan Wilson waited, along with a couple of aides, including Marco Mark.
Even if Harold Wilson is a member of the House of Commons and a secretary of Congress, it is really unimportant to many people.
There are hundreds of members of the Commons, not to mention that Harold Wilson can only be regarded as a newcomer, and he is neither senior nor particularly prestigious in Congress.
Maybe it won't be long before the so-called House of Commons disappears without a trace. This kind of thing has not happened before, and it happens often.
Hadro Wilson stepped slowly off the military plane, still holding the pipe he carried with him, and as a twenty-nine-year-old member of Parliament, a rising star in the political scene of the British Empire, he still behaved very well.
Having worked as a civil servant, he also understands how difficult his former colleagues are to deal with.
"Dear Secretary of the National Assembly, welcome to Hanover, where the situation is rather rudimentary." Alan Wilson greeted him, 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, and I don't know if it was a relative hundreds of years ago.
There were only a few people who picked up the airport, but Harold Wilson didn't mind, in his opinion, this was also very normal, and asked directly, "I believe everyone is busy, I just inspected the British occupation area, and went back to the prime minister as a reference for decision-making." ”
"That's right, Secretary of Parliament, the present British-occupied zone has been greatly damaged, and my colleagues are all working hard every day to hope that the British-occupied zone will miraculously go on the right track the next day." Alan Wilson nodded, and walked beside Harold Wilson, "The language problem alone is a consideration, and many colleagues are learning German on their own. The need to master a foreign language is extremely important during this time period. ”
"They're learning a foreign language?" Harold Wilson questioned, and then nodded knowingly, "It is true that it is more important to learn a foreign language and work in Germany, if you don't master German, there may be ambiguity when issuing orders, which is also something that London is worried about." ”
"Of course, even if I'm fine, I have to learn a foreign language." Alan Wilson thought of Isabella's German teacher, and a knowing smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and the whole person seemed very gentle.
"I heard that there was a movement going on in the British-occupied territories to put German women on the shoulders of rebuilding Germany?" Walking out of the airport and getting into the car, Harold Wilson asked with interest, "How is it going?" Does it work? ”
"Very effective, based on the progress so far, Bonn is the fastest and the city is almost complete. Of course, it cannot be denied that Bonn is a small city, the damage is not serious, and many facilities are functional. Alan Wilson said honestly, "But I believe it's a good start." ”
"Indeed!" Harold Wilson nodded affirmatively, "In fact, whether the damage is serious or not, the Germans in other places do not know at all, the Germans whose greatest wish is to have enough to eat, should not have the leisure to investigate, we take Bonn as an example to report, it is enough to prove that the work is going well." ”
Alan Wilson nodded approvingly, it was a pity that Harold Wilson left his job as a civil servant, and he had to get involved in the sinister political arena, and the future British Empire would have one less servant of the people.
But this is not a bad thing, Alan Wilson felt that this was an opportunity, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to receive Harold Wilson, because Harold Wilson, who is still a member of parliament, is indeed a powerful person.
The Standby Queen's favorite and best personal friend is undoubtedly Wilson. When Wilson retired, the Queen went to Downing Street to attend a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister, and apart from 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 the general sense.
Of course, the relationship between the prime minister and the queen is undoubtedly Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher carried out liberal reforms, cut welfare, and led Britain to a financial economy.
Alan Wilson did not comment on the consequences at first, but the families 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, that is, they learned about their differences and thought that the queen could speak for themselves.
When Margaret Thatcher was in charge, the queen's position became important again, and many Britons even expected the queen to let this annoying woman get out of the way.
"Oh yes, Alan, I heard you have a work experience in British India." After listening to Alan Wilson's briefing, Harold Wilson asked, "What do you think of the current plan for economic recovery, I heard you've seen it." ”
I've seen it, it's mine! Alan Wilson said without hesitation, "I've heard a little about the economic stimulus plan, but from my point of view, it's a very good plan. It is very good to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of the British Occupation of Germany and British India and to complement each other's weaknesses. ”
"The national economy is like the uneven temperature of the earth, I heard a saying when I was in Xiangjiang, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water. There are fishermen by the sea, and you can't expect fishermen to farm. Since Germany had this industrial base, and British India had a huge demand, it was logical to link them together as part of the economic revitalization of the British Empire. ”
"Just like the Industrial Revolution, the use of coal led to the development of the steam engine. However, many countries in the world do not have coal, for example, Latin American countries, how to carry out the industrial revolution without coal? ”
"It's a very new way of thinking about problems." Harold Wilson expressed his appreciation to Alan Wilson, he is a scholar at Oxford University, and when he inquired about Alan Wilson was also a student at Oxford University, but he had not yet graduated, he couldn't help but say, "The war has delayed your studies, but it has also exercised your ability to work, and now that the war is over, many pre-war students have recently gone back to do their graduation theses, when will you apply?" ”
"I think during this special time, the university will be open until the end of the year." Seeing Harold Wilson nodding, Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then it's okay for me to apply before the end of the year?" Thanks to the University of Oxford for its flexibility. ”
Because the two are seniors and juniors, and the communication between scholars and keyboard warriors is mixed. The hot potato in the eyes of Tim Brand and Harold did not burn Alan Wilson's hands.
Facing the knowledgeable Harold Wilson, Alan Wilson can only cope with the rich accumulation of keyboard warriors. Harold Wilson was received with no hostility at all.
"In fact, with the current level of scientific and technological development, any work is important in the post-war recovery stage. Once the recovery phase is complete, it is possible that European countries will be fiercely competitive again. Alan Wilson shrugged, "When the time comes, it's either to be more productive or to improve welfare, but there's another way." ”
"What's the solution?" Harold Wilson asked with interest, very interested in the whimsy in Alan Wilson's head.
"It's like the British Empire's positioning for British India, carrying out industrial transfer." Alan Wilson said embarrassedly, of course, this is just my personal thoughts, "In fact, just like the textile industry, the textile industry has almost no threshold, any country can do what it wants, and it can be seen from the experience of our British Empire, first of all, to use the textile machine to destroy the textile industry in Asia, the textile industry in India." ”
"The textile industry is almost as old as human history and has the lowest barrier to entry. Almost any country can develop! ”
The product life cycle theory believes that all sectors of industry and various industrial products are in different stages of development of the life cycle, that is, through 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 by any country, then it will be like the textile machine of the British Empire, facing the artificial weaving of India. We could export a plane and get back a million shirts. ”
