"My friend, I heard nothing." Harold Wilson changed the subject without giving the other party any trouble.
This London reconstruction plan will be another major move by the Attlee cabinet after the nationalization movement and universal health insurance, and will involve a large part of the 8.3 million Londoners. The factory-lined Eastern District is the first to suffer.
"Congressman Harold Wilson was born in a political family. He is not as ordinary as he appears on the surface. He is even more different from the worker himself."
Walking out of the Health Secretary's office, Norman Brooke spoke of his thoughts on the MP. Of course there are factions within the Labor Party, and Aneurin Bevin's faction is still quite strong.
The Labor Party has always been a broad 'sect' made up of many political ideals: from unionists, to free marketeers, to radical socialists. Each leader changed the composition of the party, recruiting new members and changing old alliances.
There is also a faction in the Labor Party that is ideologically similar to the Conservative Party, the classical right, which is rooted in local government and trade union bureaucracies and has been campaigning against radical socialism since the beginning of the world wars.
To maintain such an alliance, Prime Minister Attlee's life is not easy, and he is even more troubled than the Conservative Party's Churchill.
Alan Wilson naturally followed the teachings. He remembered that Prime Minister Attlee resigned because he was caught in the Korean War, which led to a backlash within the Labor Party, which led to the outbreak of internal conflicts in the Labor Party and an early election.
Aneurin Bevin was an important faction opposing Prime Minister Attlee during this stage.
"Alan, let me ask you a question!" Norman Brooke began to ask in a calm tone, "How do you view yourself, and on a larger scale, how do you view the entire Whitehall."
"The nerve center of the British Empire, as for my colleagues in Whitehall, they are all noble, hard-working and compassionate gentlemen." Alan Wilson blurted out without thinking, and gave the only answer very sincerely, "Colleagues here They are all managers with rich experience. Each of them graduated from two universities. They are smart and alert and can assess the situation. "
"Do you really think so?" Norman Brook glanced sideways at Alan Wilson and said with a half-smile, "The true pride of heaven will not choose to serve the country. They think very highly of themselves. They in Whitehall see It’s not eye-catching.”
"That vision is not ordinary. Power is eternal." Alan Wilson's face remained unchanged. These British people always believe that money is more important than power. They are simply putting the cart before the horse.
Sure enough, Norman Brooke said that in the free world, assets are more likely to last forever.
For those people who have better conditions in all aspects, they will not choose to enter the civil service system.
"Whitehall is made up of mediocre people among the best, and we are not smarter than anyone else. So we need to be clear about where the bottom line is. Unless the prime minister or minister you are facing actively asks, it is best not to take the initiative to help the ruling party deal with the current situation. Opposition parties. This should be avoided especially when a third person is present.”
Norman Brooke followed the lead and said that Alan Wilson should put away his no-nonsense style in the colonies. Take the situation just now, Aneurin Bevin is himself the leader of a major faction within the Labor Party, and he is not entirely in harmony with Prime Minister Attlee.
"Jazz, I know what's wrong." Alan Wilson showed his flexibility at the right time.
After all, his mistake was excusable. After all, this London transformation plan still needed the full support of British Malaya.
London has two major districts: East and West. Compared with the wealth and nobility of the West End, London's East End was once described by Conan Doyle as the most dangerous place - "a place of incomparable violence and depravity", "a place of numerous an abyss or hell of weird secrets and desires” and often remain hidden from the outside world.
The eastern parts of cities in European countries are generally civilian areas. If you look at the Earth from the North Pole, you will see it rotating counterclockwise. The effect is that winds in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres move in the same direction as the Earth's rotation, eastward.
If you and a group of people were sitting around a campfire, who would bear the brunt of the smoke coming out? The answer is the lowest status among this group of people. The East End of London meets this definition and becomes the slums of London.
Of course, Alan Wilson didn't need to do the research himself, but he came anyway, bringing with him a tall Ingrid Bergman wearing sunglasses and a mask.
"What a good husband. Just after your wife gave birth, you took other women to wander around London." Ingrid Bergman rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses and said sarcastically.
"I can tell you very clearly that you won't be able to see this scene for a long time. Although there is a very fierce debate, this area of the city is still about to be bulldozed." Alan Wilson does not need to take off his sunglasses to feel them The gaze from behind.
As for daughters, didn’t Ingrid Bergman also give birth to twin daughters? Are you still qualified to talk about him?
Regarding the transformation of London's East End, the main focus of debate is financial issues. Finance is a long-standing problem in the UK. Needless to say, it was a post-war problem, but financial problems were very prominent during the dreadnought race.
However, the fact discussed in Alan Wilson's report is that some things should be done sooner rather than later. Inflation is an objective reality. Now I feel that there is financial pressure. If it drags on for a few years, the financial pressure will not decrease, and it may still increase. getting bigger.
Public projects must be forward-looking and must be ahead of per capita expenditure. Without this determination, things will never be accomplished.
"You asked me to come here, just to show off in front of me, and you decided to decide the future of millions of people?" Ingrid Bergman pushed up her sunglasses and lowered her voice when she spoke, otherwise it would attract attention.
"I want you to contact a few designers to plan the East District. Of course, there are designers in the UK, and the Department of Reconstruction originally had a bunch of them. But I am willing to give you a chance. After all, our relationship, I am willing to do some research on you. take care of."
Alan Wilson was confident, and then said, "Of course there is one more thing. Let's find a place to take a rest and talk about it."
In fact, it was just to produce some illustrations for his conspiracy theory book series, which was not a problem at all for Ingrid Bergman.
The problem is that, like Pamela Mountbatten, she believes that the entrepreneurial spirit of a man with the same status as her husband will inevitably hit a wall. “Only a fool would believe that this kind of book would become popular around the world.”
"You have been in the United States for so many years, don't you know that there are a lot of fools in the United States? That is a hot spot for conspiracy theories." Alan Wilson retorted disapprovingly, and then changed the subject, "You may really not know, after all, like How can a big star like you, who is sought after by thousands of people, come into contact with the world at the bottom?"
When talking about the United States, Ingrid Bergman really had a topic to consult, "A script has come from the United States. You don't know about it yet, do you?"
"Movies are not my major, how would I know?" Alan Wilson walked to his private car, opened the door and let Ingrid Bergman get in. What followed was a very slow journey.
"You must know, you must know that the current film environment in Hollywood is very harsh. This script was transferred by Vivien Leigh, and United Artists will co-produce it with Woodpecker. New actors will be used for filming!" Ingrid Bergman tried her best to attract Men's attention, but the effect is not great.
Roman holiday? When Alan Wilson finally heard this sentence, he became somewhat interested and proactively asked, "What did Vivian say? Isn't she preparing for this year's Oscars?"
"You know it very well. It's no wonder. The phone call is not far away, otherwise you would have to greet different women every day." Ingrid Bergman rolled her eyes at Alan Wilson and said, "We all agree to use new actors. After all, none of us are of the right age for the script. I am very optimistic about Elizabeth Taylor, and Vivienne is also interested in an actress who is also British, called Audrey Hepburn."
"I've seen Taylor before, and she doesn't have the temperament of a princess. She's okay in playing the Cleopatra that Vivian once portrayed." Alan Wilson gave his professional judgment.
Professional is an absolute professional. He has been resisting the offensive of the princess chair and has enough experience to judge whether Elizabeth Taylor is suitable for the script of Roman Holiday.
When he learned that Roman Holiday was ready to be filmed, Alan Wilson didn't even care about London's transformation. Anyway, there are only a few points: the existing apartment buildings are renovated, the bungalow areas are directly bulldozed, and a number of apartment buildings with a unified standard are built.
Regarding the key London East End reconstruction plan, the compensation plan is resettlement: it means that the developer's demolition and reconstruction project can complete the resettlement, and the resettlement can be completed through the proportion of property rights replacement.
Resettlement is the main method, and monetary compensation is used as an alternative to relieve the residents of the East District from their worries about relocation.
At the meeting of the Department of Reconstruction, Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, "This project is not only to avoid the recurrence of the smog incident, but it is also a significant livelihood project. The Labor cabinet is very concerned about our plan. Colleagues will have to wait for three months Within this period, factories and residences throughout the East District will be identified, and bungalows and high-rise buildings in disrepair will be cleared."
Now, just after the London smog incident, the direct death toll of thousands of people has emerged. This is the time when London citizens are still frightened. If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity to attack the East End now and miss this opportunity, no one will touch the East End of London in the next few decades. .
On the same day, Whitehall issued an investigation report on the London smog incident and response plans through the Department of Reconstruction.
At the same time, the British Parliament passed the Clean Air Act and a package plan, which also included the transformation of the entire London, focusing on the East End of London.
