Chapter 996 Backbench MP Thatcher

"Let's build a large-scale wind tunnel here." Pamela Mountbatten wore a sun hat and selected the mountain col to build a large-scale wind tunnel as a necessary condition for development in the fighter field.

The development of fighter jets cannot be accomplished by copying a shell from some shameful plagiarist. Even if Alan Wilson can do it, he still has to pass a large-scale wind tunnel test.

Wind tunnel testing is a wind tunnel experiment in fluid mechanics. It refers to placing a model of an aircraft or other object in a wind tunnel to study the flow of gas and its interaction with the model to understand the aerodynamic characteristics of the actual aircraft or other object. Dynamic experiments.

After becoming Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office, there were not many things that could be called secrets about Alan Wilson in the whole of Britain.

He was able to conduct an investigation on British aviation in his public capacity, but the results were very unsatisfactory. At this time, he felt that it was absolutely reasonable for the British to have a large number of weapons designed against humanity.

But on the other hand, the UK has made so many anti-human mistakes in design, and yet it can still produce decent products. It can be seen that Rolls-Royce has made great contributions in the field of engines, and it is worthy of being one of the few British companies in the 21st century. National Treasure Company.

The UK, which built the world's first wind tunnel, is facing the same situation as many other fields of resting on its laurels. The world's first wind tunnel, and in a sense the oldest and smallest wind tunnel facility. The United States and the Soviet Union invested heavily in wind tunnel facilities and surpassed the United Kingdom.

Before the Second World War, Britain and France were both among the oldest advanced aviation countries. However, after the war, they suddenly found themselves lagging behind the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries. Therefore, the two countries regrouped and worked hard to catch up.

In the second year after the war, the French government decided to organize research institutions scattered across the country due to war and occupation, established a national aerodynamic research institution, and began to create the Modan Experimental Center in the hinterland of the Alps, which can be called World-class high-power aerodynamic testing wind tunnel equipment.

Compared with France, the British's actions are quite insincere. Based on the principle of sufficiency, they still use old-fashioned wind tunnels.

The man behind the female president of the Mountbatten Group also guided his pot-bellied wife to activate the telegraph for the establishment of the wind tunnel facility. Hence the current scene.

"Mr. Turing, can you build a comprehensive wind tunnel facility? Funding is not a problem. I want a wind tunnel that can theoretically reach the maximum value of the existing technical conditions." Pamela Mountbatten looked at Turing a few meters away and asked , "Alan takes this very seriously and I don't want to let him down."

"Mrs. Wilson, your affection is admirable." Turing promised with a smile, "I will do my best to help."

"Thank you. Alan has always said that you are a treasure of Britain. As for the two of us, husband and wife are one." Pamela Mountbatten nodded with a smile. "If you have any difficulties, just tell us and I will definitely try my best to help."

After just a few words of exchange, Pamela Mountbatten was already a little sleepy. She gently touched her belly with her bare hands and asked Marina to send her back to Perth. She came here to give birth to the next generation. As her body became heavier, it was necessary to visit the scene in person. Temporarily terminated.

Conservative Party leader Eden is heading to Buckingham Palace to accept Queen Elizabeth's appointment and then officially become prime minister.

At this moment, there was another couple who were in the same state of excitement as Aiden. If Alan Wilson were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the chairman of the campus conservative party, Ms. Margaret, now Mrs. Thatcher.

But he was not there. He was discussing a project about exploring the human body with Hepburn. He forgot about Mrs. Thatcher who had become a backbencher. National treasures are not fragrant, and ball flowers are not fragrant. It is normal for a country girl to be forgotten. .

"My dear, I succeeded." Mrs. Thatcher, who also entered the House of Commons in this election, hugged her husband. "Thank you for your continued support in making my dream come true."

"Congratulations, my dear." Denis Thatcher smiled and encouraged his wife, who was ten years his junior. The scene of Mrs. Thatcher working until early morning every day was still vivid in his mind.

Now I finally got what I wanted.

With a wife who was only interested in politics, Denis Thatcher would take care of the rest.

He doesn't have to work as hard as his father did when he was young, trying to find ways to sell wine, coal, lottery tickets, etc.

Whenever he changed his career to a new one, he would hand out flyers to his friends, nail a new bronze sign on the door, and talk shamelessly about how to revive his family business in the future. It's a pity that this old man, who is old, frail and full of worries, still has to run for a living. In the morning, he staggered to the city center. Only his wife thought he was going to work. At dusk, he walked home step by step.

Denis Thatcher's life was much richer than that of his father, but having a wife who was so obsessed with politics also brought a lot of extra burdens. Fortunately, it was all worth it, and Mrs. Thatcher got her wish.

Conservative Party leader Eden arrived at Buckingham Palace and officially became the new Prime Minister. It is still some time before the official formation of the cabinet.

But what is certain is that Harold Wilson's career as Foreign Secretary has come to an end with Labor's defeat. A new foreign minister is about to arrive here, and the short window period will end with the formation of the new cabinet.

For each department, who will be the new minister of their department is the top priority they face together.

It's okay to say that in other departments, but in foreign policy, the Conservatives and Labor may be the area with the biggest gap, and diplomats in Whitehall may face a considerable test.

Which department ministers can enter the cabinet depends on which aspects of work the prime minister pays more attention to after taking office, but ministers of finance, interior affairs, national defense and foreign affairs departments are bound to become cabinet ministers.

Several giants within the Conservative Party, Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas Home and Rab Butler, will inevitably have a place in the new government, but which department they will be responsible for has not yet been officially announced.

Alan Wilson very much did not want Macmillan to come to the Foreign Office because his mother was American. According to ancient Chinese tradition, people with this kind of background are inherently excluded from the line of princes. But the UK doesn't have this kind of emphasis.

The leading Conservative figure before American Mother was Churchill, who led the Admiralty in World War I and Britain in World War II.

Alan Wilson could not tell the cabinet secretary that he felt there was something wrong with this person. At present, he did not have the strength to openly oppose a minister, so he could only hope that his speculation would not come true.

Alan Wilson has little to say about the new prime minister, Eden, who, despite his drug addiction, has no clear evidence of any disloyalty to the British Empire. Many analyzes from later generations show that Eden just failed to adapt to the times and regarded Britain as the empire on which the sun never set before the war.

After Eden was officially inaugurated in the House of Commons, he went to the House of Commons and announced that he would accept the Labor Party's mixed economic reform of the United Kingdom and adopt consensus politics to view issues. This is also the consensus after the Conservative Party reform.

The Conservative Party recognizes the welfare system, accepts a limited nationalization program, and recognizes a planned economy within a certain range.

Eden took over as Prime Minister and acknowledged consensus politics in his first speech in the House of Commons. Then he changed the topic and said that he would form a cabinet immediately. A few days later, the list of the new government was released.

Conservative giants such as Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas Home and Rab Butler were impressively on the list, and Macmillan, the candidate whom Eli Wilson just missed going to church to avoid, was appointed. as foreign secretary.

"It seems that in this place in the UK, God's words are obviously not as effective as mine." Alan Wilson looked disgusted, and he remembered the lyrics of the Internationale for no reason. There has never been a savior, nor does he rely on a fairy emperor.

The new government took office, and the United Kingdom ushered in the revival of the Conservative Party, a government headed by Prime Minister Eden and Foreign Secretary Macmillan. This configuration is very distressing. If Aiden's drug dependence is used as an excuse to launch an attack, the person who takes over is likely to be the second man Macmillan.

Replace a somewhat arrogant Prime Minister who cannot see the situation with a hard-core pro-American Prime Minister? It would be better to focus on helping Aiden achieve some results, while preventing the prime minister from letting himself go.

The new government was sworn in, and Alan Wilson took an opportunity to go to the House of Commons to see what was going on. Those with a title cannot enter the House of Commons, but Alan Wilson's baronet is a commoner, so this restriction does not exist for him.

After many years, he once again met Margaret Thatcher, now a married woman and now a backbencher. Mrs. Thatcher took an important step in politics, entering the House of Commons and truly becoming a political figure, rather than the former chairman of the campus Conservative Party.

Although backbenchers are just ordinary members, the British electoral system essentially selects the leader of a party to be the prime minister.

This system means that once a sufficient number of backbench members raise an issue, the prime minister can be ousted. This is what happened to Mrs. Thatcher in the end, so the political weight of backbench members is not light.

The first test that Mrs. Thatcher faced when she had just become a backbencher was a gaze that left an indelible impression on her life. This gaze did not move away from the beginning of the discussion in the House of Commons until the end.

The two people who had not seen each other for many years, one entered Whitehall and the other entered the House of Commons, met again on this occasion.

Alan Wilson originally wanted to wait for the meeting to find an opportunity to say hello to Margaret, but the other party obviously did not give him this opportunity and left the House of Commons directly after the meeting.

"It's such a pity." Alan Wilson lamented that his old friend could not meet again. In fact, the two of them can help each other and there is no need to be so tense. However, I believe there will be opportunities to meet in the future, but using PUA, uh, Opportunity to explain misunderstandings.
