Chapter 1006 Because the United States Will Object

As a friend of McCarthy, it made sense for Alan Wilson to do this. Even though McCarthy was a nasty person of Irish descent, McCarthy was still his friend at this stage.

He also believed that Nixon, as a veteran politician, could survive this test, otherwise he would be sorry for his official career for so many years.

Of course, he cannot leave Foreign Secretary Macmillan idle. Macmillan must now personally pay attention to the issue of the undecided immigration of four to five million Indians in British Kenya.

Although this is a difficult problem, ministers themselves must have the ability to solve difficult problems. Who makes voters think so?

If Macmillan fails to resolve this issue, support may decline.

If Macmillan resolves the issue, Labor may attack Macmillan as xenophobic and racist.

After the war, in an environment where the emergence of people like the head of state has become the consensus of all countries, the pressure brought by racists is still a heavy burden. No matter what choice you make, it seems that you have to pay a certain price.

This is a deliberate legacy of Alan Wilson's tenure as foreign secretary, and it now falls squarely into Macmillan's hands.

As for Macmillan's question, Alan Wilson's answer was that he had just become the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was not familiar with some of the work. He was not yet warm, so the minister was replaced.

Thanks to years of hard work, the British working class had already begun to buy cars and go on holidays abroad before immigrants from the Commonwealth countries flooded into the UK. Alan Wilson has been advertising Malaya's sunny beaches.

It is impossible to naturally attract a large number of British immigrants to settle there. If the British want to immigrate, they still prefer the Five Eyes Alliance. However, the main place of immigration in recent years is Australia, especially Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

"Alan, you stole the show in Moscow." Markins, who works for the Ministry of the Interior, said with admiration, implying that Alan Wilson had seized a good opportunity. The kitchen debate is now being discussed in the UK and even the world.

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." Alan Wilson looked at his old friend and said to his heart, "You don't know that I just packaged and sold Indonesia to Moscow in exchange for such a chance to be in the limelight."

However, the UK cannot be said to be at a disadvantage. Alan Wilson did this for the sake of the UK. If the victory of the Cold War was the result of the United States monopolizing all the benefits, he hoped that the Cold War would continue for two hundred years.

At least with the current enemy, the United States will never harvest its allies every now and then. Of course, Japan is an exception.

Alan Wilson stole the show, and Markins naturally showed up to solidify his connections. "But I also heard that some people felt justified in the Soviet Union's call to lift the blockade and open up more trade."

"What's the point? Countries like the Soviet Union cannot be trusted." Alan Wilson snorted and curled his lips. "The part of trade that the Soviet Union advocates is only beneficial to the Soviet Union. Does the Soviet Union dare to open up all of Eastern Europe and its own market? ? Jointly and severally, all intellectual property rights must be recognized, and reverse engineering must not be carried out secretly. The Soviet Union does not dare, so the blockade of the Soviet Union will continue. It is okay to import some agricultural raw materials, but don’t even think about others."

The Soviet Union is a country that openly does not recognize intellectual property rights. If it wants to recognize it, it must change its constitution. According to Soviet law, all inventions belong to the state and are protected by an inventor's certificate.

Additionally, there is no fee to receive a state-issued inventor's certificate. No one can sell the invention or sell a license to use it because it is already state property. The interests of the socialist country and the collective are higher than individual interests. Copyright is owned by the collective and is the public property of the collective. People can often get subsidized books or audio-visual products from the state.

"So free trade is not what we understand as free trade." After understanding Alan Wilson's explanation, Makins answered lazily, "The Soviets had a good idea. They took all the benefits, but they still wanted to protect own market.”

Alan Wilson shrugged;

He said helplessly, "But the free world is not united. France and Italy may provide some technology in exchange for benefits, so we must treat this issue carefully."

There is nothing new under the sun. The Soviet Union is definitely not the last to use this market-for-technology transfer approach.

"It's really a difficult opponent." Makins commented with a cold face, "I thought the United States and the Soviet Union were talking well."

"Don't talk about those Soviets." Alan Wilson obviously didn't want to talk about the issue that had been settled for a long time, and asked Markins about his recent work. The Ministry of Interior is also a high-power department and handles quite a lot of things.

Magins now works for the Ministry of the Interior and must have countless troubles. "We cooperated with the medical department to include some common drugs into the national health care system, and things took an unexpected turn. Guess what?"

"Profits have decreased, and pharmaceutical groups have stopped production." Alan Wilson said without thinking. "Many drugs that were originally very common disappeared from the market after they were included in the national health care system. They were replaced by drugs with similar effects, but no Medicines that are included in the NHS. Right?”

"You should take my place and talk to those pharmaceutical groups." Makins smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Or it would be more appropriate for you not to be a civil servant and directly become a consultant for a pharmaceutical group."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is also normal. Why produce without profit? We are not the Soviet Union. We have no obligation to do things without profit." Alan Wilson yawned. "Anyway, I am sick for the safety of my own life." , the patient will pay no matter how much money is spent.”

Pamela Mountbatten's industry includes biopharmaceuticals, which are developing in full swing in India, so what Markins said is not objective. Of course, Alan Wilson has to speak for the medical group.

The rule is that dead people are alive, and any system can be circumvented as long as you find a way. It's just that the British National Health Care System has not been implemented for a long time, and some flexible methods are still in the exploratory stage.

In a few decades, it will take months to wait in line for an appointment. Either you will be cured or you will die. If you are still half-dead, you will have to take painkillers.

It's a good thing the Soviets didn't know about the flexibility of the free world's national health care system, otherwise that would have been a real problem.

"My God, compared to you, I seem to be worthy of my conscience." Makins shook his head and said to himself.

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said incredulously, "When did you have such a luxury? In order to defeat an unprecedented opponent like the Soviet Union, we must deal with it in a more ruthless and bottomless way. Otherwise we will be in big trouble in the future. In my opinion, things like pensions should be cancelled. The elderly have no value at all and cannot create wealth. Supporting them will be a huge burden on the finance. It is a pity that no politician dares to do this. Dry."

"Aren't you worried anymore? Pamela's group is so big, but she still cares about a small pension?" Makins took a breath. If a politician said this, it would be almost impossible to turn around in his life.

"I am also an honorable citizen of the United Kingdom. The pension is the country's guarantee for my many years of service to society." Alan Wilson suddenly changed his face and said, "Oh, I don't have to ask for the money, but the main thing is to respect the country's recognition of civil servants' lifelong hard work. Otherwise, It’s just disrespectful to the Queen.”

Alan Wilson, who has always respected the royal family, now felt that he should find his sister-in-law to comfort his heart, which was devastated by the real dragoons. He must know how to combine work and rest, otherwise Britain may lose a pillar of talent in the future.

Foreign Secretary Macmillan is still worried about the positioning of hundreds of thousands of Indians in British Kenya. This is a big deal. If Kenya becomes independent and is admitted to the United Kingdom, the Labor Party may seize the opportunity to attack it. If not? In fact, we will still be attacked. This is the unique benefit of the ruling party.

At this moment, Alan Wilson walked into the minister's office with documents in hand, and saw Macmillan anxiously saying, "Dear minister, he seems to be worried about state affairs."

"It's not the problem of Indians in Kenya." Macmillan looked helpless and looked at Alan Wilson and asked, "Alan, what is that in your hand?"

"Oh, it's about the schedule for the Antarctic Conference to be held in Paris." Alan Wilson said holding the document. "It is expected to be held at the end of the year. The participating countries include the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Twelve countries. Discussions about Antarctica Regarding the issue of sovereignty, of course Australia is the most enthusiastic about Antarctica. After all, Australia is alone in the southern hemisphere and has huge geographical conveniences."

"Antarctic meeting?" MacMillan shook his head and asked, "What attitude are you prepared to use to deal with this meeting?"

"We will do our best to support Australia in the diplomatic field, but it will definitely be useless. Because both the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will oppose the division of sovereignty over Antarctica, the final result will not be surprising, it will be All claims to sovereignty over Antarctica will be frozen."

"It sounds like Britain's final efforts were contained by the U.S. stock market and the Soviet Union. So why are we doing this?" After hearing this, Macmillan said, "Especially because the United States is still opposed."

"It is precisely because of the opposition of the United States that the United Kingdom supports Australia." Alan Wilson explained calmly. "The Americans will do the bad guys, and we will be the good guys. There is no better diplomatic meeting than this kind of thing. It can also be used to prove that the UK has always safeguarded the interests of Commonwealth countries."

There is no need to hide anything. The reason why Britain supports Australia is because it expects the United States to oppose it.
