Chapter 1607 The Agreement of the Century

Whether it’s Star Wars, or Red Star Wars, it’s not something that Britain can follow up on, and it’s better for Britain to get less involved in programs that won’t come to fruition in recent years.

Of course, if the United States is willing to bear the full cost, the United Kingdom can play the role of a cheerleader, to help the United States to blow the bubble even bigger, but in other respects there is nothing to do.

In the position of the melon masses, Alan Wilson on the outcome of the Star Wars is still very sorry, did not see the outbreak of the Imperial War, when the world’s great emperor to the Emperor soldier quenched out of the real regret, what combat space station, space laser platform, at least should also be bright, to satisfy the appetites of countries.

And for the United Kingdom to save a lot of money Alan Wilson, the spirit of the wind, feel their own deep hidden merit and fame, with his cabinet secretary general in, the country to save how much unnecessary waste?

For the Ministry of Defense, the United Kingdom’s own Star Wars program was rejected, in fact, is irrelevant, this is a project to ask for money, was rejected in normal. To send it to the Cabinet Office is to take a chance and try it out, just in case it works.

Alan Wilson once again for the country’s success at the same time, the prime minister’s son of the rich and famous trip, but also exceptionally smooth, the Saudi side of Margaret Thatcher’s son is very courteous, the end of the rewarding foreign exchanges, Mark before returning to London, back to London on the Cabinet Secretary as if it were a pro-father, to express gratitude, “to be able to work for the benefit of the country, it’s really a great feeling of fulfillment. ”

“I’m glad you think so, but then, Mark, this is something that the Prime Minister will know sooner or later, after all, the Saudis are looking at the Prime Minister’s leadership, and this can’t be hidden for long, and a suitable opportunity should be found to let the Prime Minister know about it.”

Alan Wilson continued to advise the Prime Minister’s son that concealment was impossible and that Mrs. Thatcher would know sooner or later.

At least before the formal negotiations, the Prime Minister really should know about this matter, otherwise if something goes wrong in the future, the Prime Minister will still need to wipe his own son’s ass.

Flinging Mark, who was like a real son, to his mother, Alan Wilson began to prepare for the formal negotiations, while 10 Downing Street, it was a completely different scene, Mrs. Thatcher looked sharply at her own son, and loudly reprimanded, “Is this something you can participate in, and you dare to collect benefits in the middle of it.”

“Mother, for a country like Saudi Arabia, my presence is rather a part of making sure the deal goes through.” Mark had been drilled in the art of how to plead his case and used it on his own mother at this point.

It was absolutely impossible to expect him to take millions of pounds of legitimate proceeds out now anyway, in his mind his mother was the Prime Minister and would have had to cash in on this, otherwise what was the point of having a mother who was or wasn’t the Prime Minister? Really for the service of the country to come?

“Simply nonsense.” In the end, it was her own son, Mrs. Thatcher reprimanded, but after thinking about how to cover up her son’s actions.

Unlike public opinion that women are outstanding representatives, Mrs. Thatcher’s patriarchy is very obvious, treating her son, Mark, and her daughter, Carol, obviously very differently.

Alan Wilson understands very well that this Prime Minister is not going to sacrifice her son, and there is no risk of Mark coming clean.

“Just wait for the good news, dear.” Back home, Alan Wilson, spiritedly promised the richest woman that the century order was already in the bag, and the biggest beneficiary would of course be the producers of the Typhoon fighter and Tiger helicopter gunships.

In terms of product power, the Typhoon is certainly crushing the Mirage fighter, as for the U.S. side, who let others pay more attention to the interests of Israel, can not blame others.

At least compared with the United States, which stands by Israel at all times, the role of the United Kingdom in the Middle East is still very reliable, positive roles and negative roles, are not all comparisons?

This time the arms sale will be packaged package agreement, so that the British influence back to Saudi Arabia, once signed, Grenada’s small loss that are not a problem.

In the following time, in the Middle East war is in full swing, the world’s fifth and the world’s fourth intense exchanges of background, Britain and Saudi Arabia in the secret of the various details of the deal repeatedly verified and finalized the content of the contract.

Alan Wilson was also deeply involved and threw in the bait, making sure to build the Saudi Air Force into a premier military force.

“That’s wonderful, I hope this order makes history.” Pamela Mountbatten spun around and sat on her husband’s lap and couldn’t get enough of her man, “Look at our Cabinet Secretary, always so trustworthy. How are the preparations on top of energy.”

“Certainly ready for anything.” Alan Wilson is very serious answer, the female rich refers to the coal trade unions yelled for a long time strike, for the government this is also a clear card to start the confrontation, of course, we must do a good job to deal with, so that the United Kingdom’s most combatant trade unions, from now on do not think that always take the strike to blackmail the government.

Specific preparations were made to stockpile large quantities of coal: at that time, the total amount of coal stockpiled in the country was as much as 60 million tons, which was equivalent to half of the annual production of coal in the United Kingdom. Another example was the importation of large quantities of raw coal and fuel oil: during the strike, the government imported large quantities of fuel from Saudi Arabia, Holland, Poland and other countries.

So, with enough resources stored up and coal imported, the government had these things in hand to fight the striking unions for a long time.

The invasion of Grenada, naturally, ended in a resounding victory for the U.S., as British artillery cruisers finally bobbed up and arrived in the micro-nation that had been hit hard by the City at the Top of the Hill. Beginning to show the influence of the British Empire, it was expected to stay for a while until after Grenada’s re-election.

The consequences of the invasion of Grenada were still evident, and while Margaret Thatcher still sang the praises of the special Anglo-American relationship on the surface, Alan Wilson was able to see that the female Prime Minister held a grudge.

“Fast forward to the Soviet Union hold on, Britain will give you a loan, don’t let Germany unify.” Alan Wilson muttered in his mind, but it was a good opportunity to reshape Mrs. Thatcher’s perception of the United States.

Cabinet Secretaries are heading to 10 Downing Street more often, preparing for discussions on the diplomatic sphere, on what parties are fit to embrace the Anglo-American Special Relationship, and what parties treat it like a fart.

A certain big country is of course also an important part of the British foreign relations, Alan Wilson even sacrificed a son, Charlotte is picking up rags over there in Asia, in fact, is to collect antiques scattered in the folk, antiques this thing for the general country is worthless, but for the economy will take off in the future, but not the country.

In fact, China, Japan and South Korea have experienced a scene of antiques taking off when their economies are developing, first of all, the country has to be rich, and the rich have to be really rich, so that the antiques will go up, or else the valuable antiques will be useless, and the kind of Iraq that is twice as high per capita in 1990 than in 2020 is unlikely to have a premium for antiques.

“The official negotiation time with Saudi Arabia, has been set, we choose a third party location for the signing, it is best not to be in London or Riyadh, so that both sides are fair.” Alan Wilson was about to discuss with the Prime Minister on the big order of the century when the phone suddenly rang.

“That’s good, what does the Secretary General think of Andropov? He doesn’t seem to have shown his face for a while.” Mrs. Thatcher referred to the leader across the Iron Curtain, “I don’t think he’ll live long, he’s a dying old man, the Soviet Union is sure to go wrong when it’s led by someone like that.”

“He’s a very powerful man, after all, he’s from the security cadre, I don’t know much about the rest.” Alan Wilson smiled gently, not evaluating Andropov as a person.

Andropov is indeed in poor health, living in deep seclusion, of course, as a result of this to say that the Soviet Union is not working? The signs that the USSR is really not working are almost always present during the tenure of the head of the map, which is the opposite of Margaret Thatcher’s conclusion.

A sign that a leader’s age is a sign that the country isn’t working is a sign of total disregard for the king of my sleep, and Reagan in this era is an example of what is always said about old men leading the country, and Reagan was one of them.

“Get the Saudi arms sale done and the UK will be able to avoid any energy crisis, which could also do a better job of dealing with strikes.” Mrs. Thatcher talks about the military sale that will be signed soon, it is a never before seen military sale that will shake the world once it is signed.

Alan Wilson nodded his head, he was not afraid of Saudi Arabia’s lion’s share, as long as the Saudis dare to shell out money, no matter the quantity or quality, Britain will do its best to meet.

After communication, in the new year just after the British and Saudi representatives gathered in Bermuda, this has been privately continued for more than a year of military sales formally signed, the United Kingdom sold a total of 108 Typhoon fighters, seventy-two Rafale fighters, fifty advanced trainer aircraft, seventy-two Tiger helicopter gunships, Saudi Arabia to open up a base to the United Kingdom to do logistical maintenance work.

The Saudi side of the payment is, ten years in the middle of each year to the United Kingdom to pay two billion pounds in cash, but also oil commutation contract for the rest of the part, this part of the twenty-year period, every day Saudi Arabia will be delivered to the United Kingdom of 600,000 barrels of oil, the total price of the contract for forty-five billion pounds.

Alan Wilson is the Typhoon fighter and the Tiger helicopter gunship, both weapons that live in the shadow in the US, have finally achieved the same contract figures here in Saudi Arabia as in history.

It’s not a loss, it’s not easy to get such big numbers when the pound is still at a one to two point eight exchange rate with the dollar.

The entire cabinet rejoiced, this was a huge arms sales contract the likes of which the world had never seen before, and the contribution to the British economy was immense.

Since the arms sale has been reached, this of course can not be hidden, the election of the country can not have achievements not publicized, although the specific contract figures to be kept secret, but Mrs. Thatcher took the credit for this contract for herself.
