Chapter 1684 – Unilateral Disarmament

Princess Margaret accompanied Alan Wilson to watch TV, during the time that Pamela Mountbatten was away, Her Royal Highness did two things well, disciplining her own son, with a man of the same status as her husband, disciplining her own son, and in her spare time she was chatting about the royal family gossip, “Like the royal family over there in Asia, it’s certainly not like the British royal family that has nothing to do. ”

“That’s not necessarily true, uh, indeed.” Alan Wilson was going to say that the Ming dynasty’s royal family is quite idle, but then thought that Britain and a certain big country with frequent contact to be Qing dynasty, the Qing dynasty’s royal family is not so idle, “In fact, there’s nothing wrong with being a mascot, at least you can do the clothes and food. Asian side of the aristocracy, things do not do well sometimes that can be harder than death.”

Supreme Authority remembers, as if the Yongzheng period, there is a **** because of the defeat, resulting in a fine by the Yongzheng Emperor, is to reimburse the military expenses of this defeat.

So this **** reimbursement has been reimbursed to the Qing Dynasty’s demise, was forced to the point that Heshen has fallen, even Feng Shen Yinde is dead, this **** also took the initiative and has been copied out of the family of Heshen descendants of the point of marriage.

With respect to this **** situation, it is unlikely that he would be grateful for the demise of the Qing Dynasty, thinking that the old heavens have opened their eyes. So from the British environment, there’s nothing wrong with keeping a bunch of mascots, but don’t keep them around or you’ll run into the Ming Dynasty’s problem of a bloated clan population.

“Now a couple of Her Majesty’s children, this is the perfect life for them, and I don’t actually see any talent in them.”

Alan Wilson followed suit and analyzed, “The nobles restricted the king’s power in the first place, and in turn are now being marginalized by the assholes. There will be a steady stream of imitators for this kind of thing.”

“Really? The nobles were difficult for a while when I was a kid, but now, I see everyone is doing just fine.” Princess Margaret glanced at Alan Wilson, Her Royal Highness’s childhood was the time in the middle of World War I to World War II, and it was true that the traditional British nobility was pantsing at that time.

But then don’t all people move the tree to live? This is not to follow the richest woman, in Australia, hard work to get rich? Poor when the pants of the difficult times, and now have become after-dinner reminiscence of the bitter sweet.

Alan Wilson is not modest, directly patted his chest, the meaning is self-evident, Princess Margaret frequently nodded, “Yes, all thanks to you, you are their benefactor. A new era of Cromwell, only without the use of war to solve the problem.”

“I can’t be compared to the Lord Protector.” Alan Wilson shook his head, finally the main show came, the iconic image of Map Head appeared in the middle of the TV, as the leader of the superpower, Map Head naturally had this treatment, the bottom of the barrel to deliver this time the United Nations speech, which is centered on the idea that the Soviet Union wants to unilaterally disarm half a million.

Allen Wilson raised his eyebrows and stared at the map head in the TV, and let out a meaningless sigh under his breath, in the last bit of time in 1988, the map head still found the stage to light up the dog’s eyes.

Princess Margaret knew it was non-trivial even when she saw Alan Wilson like this, and sat quietly to the side, waiting for the segment of the report to end before she spoke, “It’s kind of a good thing that our enemy’s power has gotten smaller, isn’t it?”

“It depends on what the way of getting smaller is, in the case of this disarmament, if the Soviet Union is laying off domestic garrisons, it’s the whole free world that’s happy, but if it’s the GDR’s Soviet army that’s guessing, it’s only Kohl that’s happy.” Alan Wilson trailed off, “Big changes are coming soon.”

Mrs. Thatcher must now be made to wake up from her dream of the Anglo-American special relationship taking care of everything; it was impossible to expect the Anglo-American special relationship to prevent German reunification; there was only one intransigence in the United States, and that was that American troops could not be withdrawn even if Germany was reunified, and as long as Kohl guaranteed this the United States would not object.

And Britain is different, no matter what Kohl can guarantee to Britain, Britain is not willing to Germany unification again, Kohl must be for the unification of Germany in the secret preparations, this he certainly will not inform Britain, in fact, Britain in the history of the beginning to stop, the Germans have already put the preparations are almost done.

Maputo’s speech at the UN conference announcing his intention to unilaterally disarm thrilled the free world, especially German Chancellor Kohl.

In contrast, within the Soviet Union, it caused a wave of indignation, especially among mother and son Foltseva, who, although retired, was at least formerly a member of the Soviet Union’s inner circle of power, and, crucially, had previously heard her own son relay a discussion between father and son envisioning the possibility that the Soviet Union might be in a position to disarm.

“Mother, he’s really good.” Aliksheyev’s face was frozen, almost as if he had already questioned his decades-long materialist upbringing. Did his own father have a rope in his hand to hold the head of the map?

“Say again what your father told you about the disarmament response.” Foltseva came back to her senses, her whole being already full of seriousness, this was a serious matter, and it would be even more serious if it was improvised.

If it was improvised, this would be an uproar, this major disarmament although in terms of scale is not that big, you know in the mid-fifties era, after Khrushchev’s administration also carried out reductions in the size of the Soviet army.

The scale of that reduction was far greater than the 500,000 people who were disarmed: in the following five years, the number of Soviet troops fell from 5.8 million to 3.6 million.

And in 1960, the Soviet Union announced that it was preparing to cut its troop strength by another 1.2 million, with plans to bring it down to 2.4 million.

The state of the Soviet Union was quite different between these two disarmings after a gap of thirty years; Khrushchev’s large-scale disarmament was, first of all, backed by the continuous development of the Soviet state’s strength in the post-war period, and presupposed by the fact that the balance of power with the West continued to evolve in the direction of favoring the USSR.

And do not care how Khrushchev’s specific operation, but the Soviet Union’s economic development is not a brain regression, just some years there are problems, the general trend toward the better is not in doubt.

Otherwise, after being controlled by Brezhnev, Khrushchev would not have still had the support of more than seventy members in the plenary session of the Central Committee.

In that disarmament process, a large number of demobilized soldiers to return to the local, conducive to accelerating the speed of the development of the Soviet Union’s national strength, the entire disarmament process is carried out in an orderly environment, demobilized military personnel can be to the better arrangements, did not trigger social unrest.

And this time, even came to the Soviet Union a number of times the British Cabinet Secretary know, since the map head of the power, the Soviet Union even a chance to stay in place, year after year is negative growth.

Now where do these demobilized soldiers go? What jobs await them is an open question.

“In fact, father said that the Soviet Union’s current urban construction could start the construction of properties, and demobilized soldiers could be put into the construction.” Alikseyev said carefully to Foltseva.

“But there is no such plan at all, normally it should be announced first, then disarmament.” Foltseva gazed at her son, “Where is there a disarmament that has begun and is announcing the plan? The fact that this has happened only means that the center has not made similar preparations.”

Alexeyev bit his tongue, he knew his mother was right, “What then? Should we wait a little longer.”

“What if we can’t wait?” Foltseva asked rhetorically, “You’d better think about this, you’re the head of Moscow’s State Security Service, you actually have a responsibility to maintain the stability of the country, Alyosha, in fact, that’s the way it is with this department of the KGB, you can either do nothing or you can do everything. When these demobilized soldiers return to the country, you will be able to express your opinion in the plenary session of the KGB.”

Foltseva gave her good son a few pointers, “Perhaps, your father is right, if Maphead ever steps down, the process will certainly be bloodier than Khrushchev’s, and it will never be a matter of everyone doing a meeting together and calling it a day. When I think about it, you have to be involved in such a thing, my heart is always worried.”

“Mother, didn’t you take part in it as well?” Alikseyev opened his mouth to reassure him, Foltseva had been involved in two coups in the Soviet Union, and his father had specifically mentioned the need to consult more with the Culture Tsar.

“There are only two problems, jobs and housing, solve those two. Only then will there be no chaos.” Foltseva looked at her son, “I promoted the first secretary of Kalinin City, I should still have some prestige, you go to Kalinin City and see if you can solve at least part of the housing and work problems.”

Kalinin city is actually Furtseva’s hometown, only when she was born that is not called now this name, Furtseva in the Central Bureau for so many years, certainly empty status, nothing specific responsible for things, but there is this status, so many years have not been less tilted policy to their own hometown.

There is this foundation, so in fact this capital not far from the capital city of Moscow, it became Alexeyev in the prohibition of alcohol after the entry into force, know the law the main base camp.

“Prime Minister, it seems that on the Polish side, there is a little problem.” Alan Wilson arrived at 10 Downing Street, and did not mention this disarmament, the main thing can be put on the back to say, now first mention unimportant things, visit Poland this matter is not very important, I heard that Poland blew up the mine, although now only in the diffusion stage, but the heart door clear of the supreme authority understands very well, this is only just begun.

Seeing that the Polish Solidarity Union, which the free world has supported for many years, has now become the object of Polish verbal abuse, Margaret Thatcher’s plan to visit Poland, whether it can succeed or not is still a question.

“I would suggest that it would be better to postpone the visit and look at the situation in Poland.” Alan Wilson bluntly stated that it was not a good time to visit Poland, “There might be bloodshed.”

“That serious?” Mrs. Thatcher couldn’t believe it, but still hesitated, “But I’ve been talking about visiting Poland for a long time.”

“It seems we’ll just have to trust the professionalism of the Polish People’s Army.” Alan Wilson replied with a grimace.
