Chapter 1654 – Thatcher the Stick Girl

This is the most important diplomatic outcome of the Prime Minister’s visit, Alan Wilson is so think, on the way to meet up with the Prime Minister, a soulful look Alan Wilson, in fact, thinking about more than just the future of the Soviet Union.

The international situation affects the whole body, the Soviet Union is not their own thing, as the leader of a camp, the fate of the Soviet Union is also the fate of the entire camp.

There are still a lot of countries in Eastern Europe that have the same system as the Soviet Union, the fate of these countries will also be affected by the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom is closely related to the matter of how to avoid the unification of Germany? It is important to realize that German reunification came a year before Yanayev’s attack.

This is the most direct threat to Britain, the other Eastern European countries do not need to be so concerned, the volume is not going to be a threat to Britain. As for Poland with a population of 30 million, if it ends up taking an anti-Soviet stance, that would actually be a good thing, who doesn’t like cannon fodder delivered to the door?

But Poland separated the GDR from the Soviet Union, and if Germany was not reunited and Czechoslovakia was able to contact the Soviet Union and the GDR, then it would be best if Czechoslovakia didn’t fall out of Soviet influence either.

Alan Wilson was thinking, the Soviet Union don’t get by too well, but don’t pull the crotch to the point where it’s too obvious that you can’t use it as a shield. To be a friend of the supreme authority as long as to achieve a standard on the line, living well but not better than him.

For these Eastern European countries, Alan Wilson does not want to let them all out of the Soviet Union’s influence, but also do not want to keep all of them, the whole person is now in a very contradictory state.

This idea that as long as Germany is not united, it is not impossible to talk about, may be very selfish, but he just can not let Germany become a European power again.

In fact, not all of these Eastern European countries are at the end of their tether, of course Poland’s economic situation is really bad, but the problems in other countries are far less serious.

After being a rebel after the Cold War Poland did cash in on its unification value, don’t just look at the growth in numbers, look at it in percentage terms, Poland’s total economy did grow after it entered the EU.

But countries like Hungary and Czechoslovakia didn’t actually achieve a better economic position, and although they became good looking in per capita figures, in percentage terms, they simply stayed put.

That’s why the Grand Duke of Hungary used to say that Hungary had simply gone from listening to Moscow to listening to Brussels, and the whole process hadn’t changed Hungary much for the better.

Soon Alan Wilson arrived at the British Embassy, today’s schedule, Mrs. Thatcher at this time should be at the British Embassy to meet with a group of prominent people including artists, scientists and academics, simply put, the Soviet Union’s public intellectuals, there is a counting of one of them are all traitors, the most famous person is the father of the Soviet Union’s hydrogen bomb, Sakharov.

Margaret Thatcher and this Soviet father of the hydrogen bomb conversation, Alan Wilson came back when the conversation has just finished, the whole embassy is warmly applauded, inquired about the cause and effect, the supreme authority suddenly lack of interest, he is only if he does not remember correctly, Sakharov died in the Soviet Union before the end of the end of the Soviet Union, he really hoped that this brother to live for a few more years to see a lifetime of hard work to see the goal of the end of the day to what kind of form to show it.

“The Prime Minister has invited Sakharov to a dinner at the Embassy in the evening, and later the Prime Minister has to go to the Kremlin to speak with the Soviet leader, which will take all afternoon.” The ambassador to the Soviet Union relayed the Prime Minister’s itinerary for the day in a nutshell.

“The Prime Minister enjoys conversing with the Soviets doesn’t he.” Alan Wilson spoke in a nonchalant manner, surely he had found confidence from Map Head? “I have something to talk about with the Prime Minister.”

Discussing the reunification of Germany may seem like predicting the future of the octogenarian, but it wasn’t really bullshit; three years before Kohl came to power, Kohl had emphasized in a government statement that the Federal German government “will do everything in its power to strive for and accomplish the reunification of Germany in peace and freedom.”

To this end, he signed a number of agreements with the GDR in a variety of areas, including the economy, trade, transportation, culture and the environment, with the aim of bringing the two countries closer together on all fronts.

In response, public opinion in the Federal Republic of Germany commented that “the Kohl government is trying to surpass the previous policy of small steps of the Social Democrats towards the GDR with big steps.” People never hid their aims, except that everyone didn’t think it would work and that the Soviets would surely interfere, but they didn’t realize that the Soviets would just literally watch and do nothing.

Seeing the elated Margaret Thatcher, Alan Wilson spoke, “My Prime Minister, it seems that you are very satisfied with the pace of this visit to the Soviet Union, and I heard that you will be going to the Kremlin in the afternoon.”

“Couldn’t be more satisfied.” Mrs. Thatcher did not hide her thoughts at all, “I had a very enjoyable conversation with Mikhail and took the initiative from start to finish.”

“I wonder if we could talk about the positioning of Germany.” Alan Wilson spoke up, then repeated all the efforts Kohl had made a few years ago to draw closer to the GDR. Kohl was united in his ambition to unify Germany, which was clearly unacceptable to Britain.

“No such stupid leader could exist, Kohl’s aims cannot succeed.” Mrs. Thatcher muttered in disbelief.

“Is that so? I don’t see Maphead as a smart man. He can even talk his way out of a nuclear-free world.”

Allenwell stuck his hands in his pants pockets and said wistfully, “Of course we want the Soviet leader to possess a degree of compromise, there’s no question about that, but too much compromise won’t do. He even dared to mention a nuclear-free world in order to gain the compliments of the free world, so what if he’s been talked down to by Cole? It can’t be that the Prime Minister visits once and comes back full of money, and Cole visits once and achieves nothing, can it?”

“In fact, we could show a little bit of goodwill by granting the Soviet Union benefits that were already in their hands, such as promising the Soviet Union special interests in Eastern Europe, preferably naming the GDR. Just start with Kohl’s policy toward the GDR, and if Maputo refuses that’s best. If he refuses less than firmly, then we can prepare for that sooner rather than later. Britain is by no means alone in this matter, and I believe that all the free nations of Europe, are with us.”

Britain’s attitude goes without saying that geopolitical interests suggest that France, Britain and the Soviet Union are all beneficiaries of Germany’s division.

The re-unification of Germany would upset the balance of power in Europe and change the Franco-German balance of power. A unified Germany would not only further establish its position as Europe’s top economic power, but would also gradually become the center of Europe politically.

France originally built on the basis of the division of Germany, seeking to act as an ally of Western Europe’s intention will be defeated.

In fact, there is a less obvious chain of contempt in Europe, the Spaniards think that Italy in the G7 group is not worthy of the name, while Italy is the same role in dragging Germany behind the decision-making.

Italy is even the ostensible leader of the coffee club that opposes the expansion of the permanent membership of the United Nations.

Stopping the reunification of Germany on this matter, Britain is by no means alone, whether it is France or Italy, are sure to be Britain’s supporters, now picking this matter is actually better, now the map head is not like two years later so anxious, the probability of being able to give Margaret Thatcher firmly defending the interests of the Soviet Union in Germany to give assurance.

“That is, it’s not very nice to say it, but it can be a private promise not to appear in the joint communiqué.” Alan Wilson, seeing that Mrs. Thatcher was in a difficult position, kindly suggested.

“Even if we get to Moscow and you go so far as to interfere in my diplomacy.” The sense of accomplishment that Mrs. Thatcher had received from Maphead disappeared once again in front of the Cabinet Secretary.

At this point Mrs. Thatcher needed a compliment, and Alan Wilson, instantly understanding in a second, suggested with conviction, “Get the sense of accomplishment back again from the Soviet leader, I think that would be good.”

“What’s this?” Mrs. Thatcher looked at the tape recorder in front of her, it was something she knew all too well, Alan Wilson had held it out more than once.

“If the Prime Minister can do the job of Zero-Zero-Seven, I think it will be something to be proud of for the entirety of her career as Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson, the PUA’s big success, went one step further, hoping that when Mrs. Thatcher was talking to Maphead about Germany, she’d be able to god forbid record the conversation.

Of course Mrs. Thatcher disagreed, she was Britain’s Prime Minister, how could she do such a thing? But after some verbal sparring, the Prime Minister took the recorder with her when she left for the Kremlin.

“The King of Wei is very elegant, but the bedside knife catcher, this is a hero.” Witnessing the departure of the Prime Minister, the supreme authority who had successfully demonstrated the talent of the Chancellor could not help but boast.

“The day the reunification of Germany is announced is the day a short communiqué announces that a certain Field Marshal has taken my place.” Listening to the voice of the map head recorded among the tape recorder, Alan Wilson took over the tape recorder in high spirits, “This is a precious historical record and evidence that our Prime Minister has done everything in his power to defend Britain’s interests.”

Just like what Alan Wilson said, although Map Head’s almost two years of leadership had brought nothing but decline to the Soviet Union, the current situation was not so bad that he had to eat contempt.

In this case, even Maphead is not likely to stoop so low as to speak softly on such issues as German reunification, in short this can also be called Maphead giving Britain a promise, depending on how it is used later, can it be given directly to Kohl and tell the German Chancellor not to bother in vain?

Both Germanys are sovereign states as widely recognized by European countries and have continued as is, which is the sincere expectation of the UK. Apparently Maphead responded positively to that expectation as well, and Mrs. Thatcher finally came to make the trip outside of Moscow after talking over all the major issues.

A drive to a famous Orthodox Monastery of the Three Saints Sergius, fifty kilometers outside of Moscow, to attend a religious service at the institution. The monastery is a “holy place” for Russian Orthodox Christians, and then at the Bolshoi Theater, Mrs. Thatcher saw the Ballet’s Swan Lake performance.

“Soviet women are so attractive.” The shrill comment reached Mrs. Thatcher’s ears, and the prime minister couldn’t help but glare at the noise, which naturally went unseen by the engrossed Alan Wilson.
