Chapter 1370 The Prime Minister Was Re-Elected
The goal does not need to be set too high. It can be focused on protecting the human rights of the Bengalis in East Pakistan. This has two advantages. The Bengalis are also peace believers. The main ethnic groups in Malaya, the colony that the British are trying to preserve, are Chinese and Malay.
Because of the same religious beliefs, the Malays must sympathize with the Bengalis, while the Chinese and the Peace Religion world have no hatred.
As for the other Arab countries around the Persian Gulf that focus on business, since the oil embargo was imposed on India during the last India-Pakistan war, it can be said that the perception of India in this world is worse than the world in Alan Wilson's memory. In fact It was never easy.
The good relationship between Hinduism and the Peace Church world can be traced back to the period of British India. At that time, British India was large in area and populous, and the Peace Church world had not yet relied on oil to get rich. The Arab countries are also very poor and naturally do not have the capital to look down on Hindus. However, this premise no longer exists since they became rich in oil.
In the eyes of the world of peace believers, India, a big and colorful country, is far more hateful than a certain big country. After all, when nearly one-fifth of the population is a peace believer, a country that dares to engage in extreme nationalism and discriminate against peace believers is like this all over the world. Only one copy.
What is ultra-nationalism? India during the Congress Party period can only be said to be nationalism. India during the later generations can be said to be ultra-nationalism. To use a relatively simple example, Indian nationalism discriminates against the religion of eating cows, which is to point the finger at the religion. Although it is ridiculous to target peace cultists, there is a reason for it.
Hinduism advocates vegetarianism, and Hindu extreme nationalism discriminates against all groups that eat meat. This attack is very broad, and Sikhs and Christians are also included in the scope of discrimination.
If the British send troops to pick peaches when India and Pakistan decide the outcome, and declare to the outside world that the city is protecting the human rights of independent Bangladeshis, this reason can be accepted by the world of peace education.
"Sounds good." Harold Wilson listened to the analysis of the head of the civil service. He also felt that after the India-Pakistan battle, it would not be a big problem for Britain to seize the opportunity to send troops to the newly independent Bangladeshis. However, it must also be considered. Another factor in India's perception is that Pakistan is supported by a major country. The British Comet airliner was handed over by Pakistan.
"In fact, Bengalis are also a major ethnic group in India. However, Bengalis in India are Hindus, so it can be judged that India will not annex East Pakistan. Once annexed, it will change India's domestic political map. As for the 1962 grant to India We also have a Chinese army in that country that is humiliating." Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "Actually, we have a good relationship with them and we are not enemies."
Thanks to the fact that he has been threatening a big country from time to time and dragging Chinese troops to Africa for ethnic cleansing if they dare to touch Malaya, the relationship between the two countries has been stable and improving.
When the troops were sent to rescue the Bengalis from the fire, the British were outsiders, and the Chinese and Malays had no friendship with India, so there was no public backlash.
It will not offend Arab countries, so this matter is only on the government's mind. Even India will not annex East Pakistan and will withdraw its troops sooner or later. Then plus the British army will uphold justice, there is nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, one of the supporters behind Pakistan is the United States. The British army was dispatched to prevent the Indian army from fully occupying East Pakistan. At least the United States would not object. The only opponent may be the Soviet Union. Regarding the relationship between Britain and the Soviet Union, even a confrontation is reasonable, let alone a real fight.
"Things have not evolved to that point yet." Harold Wilson had some thoughts. If the India-Pakistan war goes as the Cabinet Secretary said, there is nothing wrong with the British army showing Britain's capabilities.
There are always some people who have nothing to do and say that the Prime Minister is a Soviet spy. Showing British military power when necessary can dispel such groundless accusations.
"Then I'll ask the Ministry of Defense to formulate a plan. Well, the plan may not be used." Alan Wilson said in a relaxed tone.
Expressing his preparedness, the Prime Minister thought for a moment and nodded.
The classic ships of the Royal Pacific Fleet can transport tens of thousands of troops and land in the Bay of Bengal, not to mention the British fleet in the Persian Gulf.
Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker then came to No. 10 Downing Street. Alan Wilson greeted the other party and then left. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary talked about the handover of the Suins Canal, and Harold Wilson decided Wait until after the election.
This time the opponent was Edward Hiss, the Conservative leader who defeated Profumo. After Eden failed in the last election and resigned as party leader, his successor Douglas Home resigned as party leader. Edward Hiss' unexpected victory His opponent became the leader of the Conservative Party.
On June 18, the 1970 annual general election began. Alan Wilson put his arms around his wife and went on a trip. He had long been indifferent to the occasional general election.
The two decided to go to the Aegean Sea. For a long time, Alan Wilson looked like he was turning his back on all living things. This time he took the initiative to accompany Pamela Mountbatten, which made the richest woman very happy.
When she arrived at Pailou, she felt the vitality of Greece. Athens was a large port in the Mediterranean, and their shipping dominated the maritime world thousands of years ago. Hundreds of large and small ships coming and going, people busy at the docks, and tourists wandering around. It just keeps spinning.
There are super large passenger ships that go between the islands and Athens, supplying countless tourists and daily necessities to the islands, and can accommodate hundreds of cars in the belly of the ship. All young passengers were sunbathing on the second and third decks, sitting and lying in groups, as if there was no one else around.
The boat trip took a long time, and most of the people were half asleep enjoying the sun and sea breeze. Only two pairs of male and female friends were energetic, gesticulating and chatting all the time. From time to time, someone would give them impatient looks, which they were happy to accept. Standard American style, standard American English.
Alan Wilson, who was covered by a large parasol on the upper deck, dragged his chin with his hand and looked at a few Americans. He didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't just throw them into the sea to feed the fishes. After all, it was the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
"Based on the current polls, the Labor Party is very likely to be re-elected, but the so-called youngest Heath leader has little hope." Alan Wilson shook off a few trolls and was in a good mood, without any doubts about Whitehall. The words caution and cherish are like gold.
"Which party do you prefer in your heart? In fact, most of our friends tend to be conservative in their hearts." Pamela Mountbatten let her husband lead her, which reminded her of the time when they first met.
"Most of your friends don't like the Labor Party because there are republican voices in the Labor Party. However, the existence of their voices does not necessarily mean anything." Alan Wilson said to comfort, at least during the reign of Her Majesty the Queen. , it is still impossible for the UK to adopt a republic, and of course the African baboon is not sure.
In the 1920s, the Labor Party annual conference proposed two republican proposals, one of which required that the British royal family was no longer necessary for the British constitution. Of course, such proposals were not officially adopted. The leader of the Labor Party at the time believed that although he himself Supported the republic, but the time to abolish the monarchy was not yet mature and did not constitute the main contradiction of that period.
Before World War II, when Edward VIII was deposed for insisting on marrying the American Mrs. Simpson, the independent Labor Party MP James Maxton at the time proposed adding a republican amendment to the deposed law, suggesting that the United Kingdom should adopt a republican system after deposing Edward VIII. , a total of five members supported the proposal at that time.
There are probably a few ideas that the small circle currently advocates: the UK will leave the European Community, unilaterally disarmament, withdraw from NATO, no longer formulate income policies, implement national management of all British industries, canonize thousands of nobles, and completely destroy the House of Lords. Get rid of it. Transform Britain into the last bastion of radical socialism in old Europe.
How could the influence of this idea expand, although he also believed that this was indeed the peak period of the Labor Party's power, and Harold Wilson was very good at elections.
As expected, the two men are still in Greece. This time the British general election has come to an end. The Labor Party's victory can be said to be a near miss, with an advantage of 33 seats more than the Conservative Party. Although it is not as good as the previous election, Such a resounding victory, but the extra seats are enough to establish an advantage. It is impossible for more than 30 seats to be unexpectedly subject to by-elections.
Edward Heath, who was supposed to defeat Harold Wilson in history, did not lead the Conservative Party to perform miracles, and the Labor Party seemed to be in power for some time.
The two people who were hiding from the domestic noise learned the results of the election. Pamela Mountbatten smiled and said, "It seems you are right, the Conservative Party did lose."
"Did you read the campaign claims of former Education Secretary Margaret Thatcher?" Alan Wilson tilted his head and replied, "In addition to canceling the free supply of milk to school children, he also cut funding for public universities."
"What's wrong? Is it the reason for the Conservative Party's failure this time?" Pamela Mountbatten asked puzzledly, "But it's not surprising that this kind of proposition makes her unpopular."
"The disadvantage now may turn into an advantage in the future, and maybe she will become the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson was also surprised that Mrs. Thatcher would hit the brakes on liberalism in 1970, " By the way, if one day the wave of privatization begins, it’s time for you to take a step further.”
"I suddenly look forward to that day coming." Pamela Mountbatten smiled after hearing this and said wistfully, "I think Mrs. Thatcher might be a good person!"
Once the privatization wave begins, it will represent countless opportunities, money and glory. For those who are prepared, these things will be within easy reach.
