Chapter 1664 Sudan Compromise
Obviously, to infiltrate inside the Iron Curtain that costs money, not that Alan Wilson is particularly patriotic and must bear this money that should be taken by the state himself.
Rather, some money, such as the funding for Alexeyev, obviously can not let the country out.
Imagine if in the future the good Dahl used the money he got from the Democracy Foundation, the Freedom Club, to buy a competent and reliable force, and had to mantle a little at a critical moment.
Then the British side will definitely find out, this money used to save the Soviet Union is provided by the United Kingdom, Allen Wilson jumped into the Atlantic Ocean can not be washed.
So some money, must take their own, see the appreciation of the yen has reached a critical point, alone from the exchange rate has no potential for profit. Allen Wilson then contacted Arnold, draw out a part of the funds invested in Japan, as for this part is how much, capital preservation, that is, to ensure that not accompanied by the number of other than, can stay in Japan.
This part of the funds, Alan Wilson to leave their own share, and then return all the principal and his wife the same status of the ladies, as for the temporary stay in the hands of Arnold’s money, that is not his, supreme authority on their own part can be given to the future stars of Whitehall, but belonging to the other ladies have to be used to share the dividends.
“Hide it from Pamela.” Holding the microphone Alan Wilson, in the call with Arnold also did not forget to urge, to know that Pamela Mountbatten also invested a huge amount of money in Japan.
“Has father concluded that the appreciation of the yen has peaked?” Arnold opened his mouth and inquired, “Or are you withdrawing your funds in Japan due to security concerns.”
“Of course it’s the latter, otherwise I wouldn’t have just asked you to withdraw your principal.” Alan Wilson replied decisively, “I always have to give other people a reason to feel at ease, right?”
Should Allen Wilson have waited until the nineties and watched the yen in surge from one hundred and fifty to eighty? Theoretically, it is true that it is still able to double, but after so many years, counting inflation is lost or gained is still uncertain, Arnold immediately agreed, “I will be careful not to alarm all parties, in the case of two months to draw out the funds.”
Put down the microphone, Alan Wilson stood with his arms folded, in fact, with the national strength of the United Kingdom, although far more powerful than in history, but to say a mouthful of Cold War dividends? It is still a bit hard enough.
I wonder if I can rely on France’s help to reach this point? Whether Mitterrand can be trusted or not is the question.
The penetration of the Iron Curtain can be sneaky, as for the Horn of Africa Allen Wilson is not polite, still need Rhodesia to help, this help and the Balkans help is not the same thing, but the need for Rhodesia’s armed forces, can, to a certain extent, to promote the chaos in the Horn of Africa.
Now there is another question, what about South Africa? Keep in mind that we’re now into 1987, the year doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that South Africa has been working on nuclear weapons for some time now.
If this white regime advancing apartheid is allowed to get hold of nuclear weapons, on the one hand it is possible that by the time South Africa collapses, the white South African government might use them.
On the other extremely remote possibility, what if the white South African regime has sustained itself by means of nuclear weapons? Become a powerhouse, an African taoiseach?
This is also clearly unacceptable, and while Margaret Thatcher’s firm support for the South African move, despite what the Commonwealth thinks, was stopped by Alan Wilson, the issue cannot be delayed.
He had to talk to Mrs. Thatcher and headed to 10 Downing Street, where Mr. Thatcher was present, nodded at Alan Wilson and left, leaving space for the Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister.
“Mr. Thatcher is such a good man.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to compliment, and he swore that it was absolutely just simply such a compliment.
But who knew that Mrs. Thatcher turned pale and protested in a small voice, “My husband and I have a very solid relationship, don’t you dare make a fuss.”
I just said it casually! Alan Wilson cried out in injustice, how come even compliments are now a crime? “Never talked to Reagan about the research on nuclear weapons in South Africa? What exactly does Washington think, the situation is now ten thousand times more critical, these Boers who once gave us trouble, if they control nuclear weapons, it is definitely not a good thing.”
“They’re white.” Mrs. Thatcher said what she would never have dared to say in public, but that was clearly what she was thinking, “There’s still the gold we need in hand.”
“Isn’t six thousand three hundred tons of gold in the treasury enough? As for the issue of whites, Eastern Europeans have a whiter complexion than England, it’s been researched, and that’s going to be a reason to be friendly as well, we should ally with the Soviet Union and put an end to the Cold War.”
Alan Wilson said you as if you are teasing me, Ran even emphasized, “I just know that without the Boers’ resistance in the first place, England would not have consumed a huge amount of national strength before World War I. I can’t wait for the Boers to become extinct in their entire race.”
Light forgive supreme authority is so direct, since Mrs. Thatcher bite a white regime, Alan Wilson is not hiding, he hated the Boers were black ethnic cleansing.
“You are really an internationalist.” Mrs. Thatcher opened her mouth and said sarcastically, as if connoting Allen Wilson’s view of Africa as one.
“Don’t say that, without me Rhodesia would have been independent a long time ago, I have a different attitude towards places that listen and places that don’t.”
Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes, “I know you have always had your eye on the fly and only cared about making a profit in your own term of office, you don’t care about the perception of the whole of Black Africa towards the UK, but the Queen is the head of the Commonwealth and Her Majesty cares. That is why I cannot allow you to fool around with this matter.”
This kind of tone simply infuriated Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady now very much wanted to clap her hands, but when she heard the next words she restrained herself, she heard Alan Wilson continue, “Now it is obvious that the Soviet Union is in the midst of a strategic contraction, and I believe that even the United States would not like to see another country with nuclear weapons come out of the world, especially South Africa is obviously stronger than the neighboring countries, and may very well be able to take advantage of the geographical situation to break away from the United Kingdom, but it is not possible to do so. powerful, and is likely to use its location to break away from control and become an African superpower.”
“This is not allowed, I believe that once the issue of nuclear weapons is communicated with the United States, the United States knows the process of research will take means to stifle it, this point I have sufficient confidence.”
South Africa’s nuclear weapons research has its own background, into the seventies, South Africa embarked on the path of developing nuclear weapons. In 1971, South Africa’s Minister of Mines De Wet ordered a study of “peaceful nuclear explosions”, and in 1974 the South African government approved the “Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Program” and decided to develop a limited deterrent. This led to the simultaneous development of nuclear weapons and the construction of a nuclear test site.
The “Peaceful Nuclear Explosive Device” was initially developed by the Atomic Energy Corporation (AEC), but due to slow progress, it was taken over in 1978 by the Ordnance Corporation (OC), which established the Adjara Nuclear Weapons Development Complex (AWDC). In 1982, a new nuclear explosive device was developed at Adjara.
At the same time, the United States and the Soviet Union detected the “double flash” signal characteristic of nuclear explosions over Prince Edward Island, a South African island 2,400 kilometers south-east of South Africa. South Africa and Israel cooperated in that nuclear test, and based on the “double flash” signals, it is assumed that the power of the nuclear explosion was equivalent to the power of Hiroshima in terms of TNT equivalent.
“Prime Minister, do you dare take the initiative to talk to President Reagan about what he thinks of South Africa’s possession of nuclear weapons?”
Alan Wilson spoke up bitchily, “Don’t you love to talk about the Anglo-American special relationship? Let’s see what the other side of the special relationship thinks, is it going to protect the white countries you talk about? But before we communicate let me remind you that Reagan could have just amnestied three million illegal immigrants, he wasn’t even willing to guarantee English language status, and probably wasn’t on board with what you call white country.”
Alan Wilson began to push back, something like this major issue was clearly something that should be communicated personally by the Prime Minister, but he could predict what the outcome would be.
The only exception in front of the United States is Israel, even the UK’s nuclear weapons, were independently researched after flipping off the United States, the United States is still not willing to share with the UK, let alone a South Africa with unstable roots.
Just when Mrs. Thatcher was thinking about whether to talk to Reagan, the United States South Africa in the end what attitude, North Africa came the good news, the Khartoum government announced that the name of the Sudanese Democratic Republic to the Republic of the Sudan, the democracy from the country’s name among the removal, at the same time the government of Khartoum commitment to multi-party system reform.
“We in Britain put in a little bit of effort and this country fell.” Alan Wilson laughed heartily and cheerfully at the Whitehall meeting.
He reckoned that the Khartoum government should have also asked the Soviet Union for help but been rebuffed, and that Sudan was not as headstrong as the Mengistu regime.
Coupled with the fact that as the Arab as the main nationalities of the country, a see the entire Arab world are now hostile to their own, the north of Egypt as the Arab military power in the near future, South Sudan is also eyeing, good relations with Ethiopia is now also difficult to think about surrendering to lose half of it.
There is no doubt that this is a huge victory for Britain, the African strategy has just been put forward, immediately there is a country with an area of nearly two million square kilometers can not bear the pressure, choose to say goodbye to the Soviet system. If this is not a victory, what is?
When Mrs. Thatcher got this news, her heart was very complicated, when talking about the importance of South Africa, Alan Wilson said that the Soviet Union’s influence in Africa declined, South Africa is useless.
Now immediately appeared the Sudan to change the name, to change the country’s system of news came. Clearly in this disagreement Allen Wilson was again the one who had the upper hand.
Definitely a victory for the UK, after all it was the UK that led the wave of cut-offs to Sudan, but between the two it was clear that the victory was not Mrs. Thatcher, the Horn of Africa strategy was put forward by the Cabinet Secretary.
