Chapter 1703: The Old Bush’s Money Power

In the winning but disgruntled barracks, people talk. There was a lot of grumbling around Simulden. Four thousand men against one, it looked like power, didn’t it, but it wasn’t. Four thousand men are just the crowd, and Simurdan is the will.

People knew that Simuldan frowned a lot, and when he frowned he could subdue armies. In these harsh times, whoever has the shadow of the Salvation Committee behind him is frightening, and can turn curses into whispers and whispers into silence.

Alan Wilson put down the French Hugo’s work and tittered, “To say that the French are always revolutionizing and have been sick for a long time is really to describe the details of revolution.”

The effect of the chaos of dramatic change, once started can not be ended, not to mention two hundred years ago in France, and now even more so, now has the technological means to add, will be more and more complex.

Alan Wilson centralized British power in the GDR, but other countries were out of British influence, maybe Grace could influence Yugoslavia?

Not all countries in Eastern Europe were problematic for sure, take Romania, if he remembered correctly, the Romanian government had, in the twenty-first century, dropped all charges against the Ceausescu’s, it would have been a rip-off, one of the charges against Ceausescu, the crime of destroying the country’s economy, the evidence was that his son had used the tennis facilities free of charge, absurd and ludicrous.

Throughout Romania’s history, the country has not had many high moments, and the Ceausescu period is already considered a high moment in Romania’s recent status. Neighboring Bulgaria, in fact, is similar to Romania, also never got any benefits in the West, after World War I Bulgaria also has little ambition, the sense of existence is not high.

Alan Wilson thought about the history of southeastern Europe, thought no wonder, the Soviet Union just finished, NATO immediately on the Balkans, from the history and national sentiment, southeastern Europe, Russia’s dominance is still quite strong, if not immediately to ride out the victory, wait until Russia slowed down, really may be in a certain sense to recover the lost territory.

“The United States has announced that President Bush is visiting Poland and Hungary.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called, informing of the latest U.S. move in diplomacy.

“Understood, we’ll do our best to assist.” Alan Wilson put the phone down, with no intention of coming to the UK, he had expected drama about the UK banning imports of US beef. It seemed there was not.

Poland is really not in a good place right now, the World Bank has been pressuring Poland on its debt, and it is clear that Poland is not in a position to pay it back as far as its current conditions are concerned, the money has been swindled by the Solidarity people.

In the heavy pressure on Poland at the same time, the old Bush began this visit to Poland, obviously holding the carrot among the carrot and stick, just do not know how much the price is.

Now the United Kingdom straight to the GDR, France is redeveloping relations with Czechoslovakia, looking at the two old version of the king, there is a return to the meaning of the world’s U.S. empire naturally can not sit still. He chose to visit Poland and Hungary, one of the largest countries in Eastern Europe except for the Soviet Union, and a country that had already adopted political reforms to diversify.

The order of the visit is Hungary first and then Poland, it should give Hungary some favors, and then put the focus on Poland, this is all Allen Wilson’s guess, but in fact almost, Bush Sr. is with this idea to start this visit, appeared in Budapest, Bush Sr. was warmly welcomed. …

Bush Sr. visited Hungary and was scheduled to address the crowd in the square. But as soon as he got off the plane, it was raining. Faced with a sea of umbrellas in the square, Bush Sr. raised his speech above his head, tore it up, and gave only a short impromptu speech, aiming to make the people who came to welcome him less rainy and to show the fraternity of the leader of the free world.

Alan Wilson fiercely attacked Bush Sr.’s speech, always doing this kind of superficial work, and the supreme authority has never been of the opinion that the longer the speech, the more the level of sophistication is demonstrated.

Now this kind of fraternity couldn’t impress Mrs. Thatcher anyway, because didn’t Bush Sr. say that Germany is the leading partner country of the United States in Europe, and how Mrs. Thatcher’s view of Bush Sr. couldn’t be warmed up, and Alan Wilson persuaded Mrs. Thatcher to look at the big picture, in fact, it was pouring fuel on the fire, “In fact, let’s think about it, and Germany wasn’t the first country that President Bush visited either and that makes it much easier to accept.”

The U.S. president traditionally the first country to visit is certainly an ally, but this practice has been broken, the old George W. Bush to do the president’s first visit to the country, he himself has been an ambassador to China of a large country, but also was presented with a state gift of two Flying Pigeon brand bicycles.

Supreme authority in front of the Iron Lady, obviously is the connotation of the old Bush, the allies of the free world is not hot, not soft how to set the first visit to the East?

“He is not as much as Reagan, and then the good policy has to have a successor.” Margaret Thatcher gave her judgment, seemingly also venting her anger at the abrupt end of the special relationship between Britain and the U.S. The blame for this didn’t lie with her anyway, it was all the new U.S. president’s bent.

“I also think that presidents as remarkable as Reagan’s are unattainable.” Alan Wilson sang the praises of Alzheimer’s patients against their will, never mentioning the consequences of tripling the debt.

It didn’t help that Mrs. Thatcher just thought Reagan was a great leader standard-bearer and Maplehead a hero for removing the accumulated ills, so what could he do? Can only play along with the Prime Minister, as for the old Bush, such as the president in the middle of the bureaucracy for decades, that is certainly not as good as a third-rate actor.

Surprisingly, he also took a major country as the first stop of a foreign visit, is likely to be the enemy hit the free world of the traitor, in the mood of the prime minister to consider, Alan Wilson will not be mentioned, the old Bush lifetime visited a major country more than twenty times, or the prime minister’s mood is even worse.

Old Bush, this person, feel that their camp allies are either anti-boner is not much use just know to take advantage of the United States, the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is not enthusiastic, just in the presidential duties must be for the dismantling of the Soviet bloc of countries to work hard, but a certain big country has always been very attentive to, as if people are the special relationship.

This does not mean that Bush Sr. came empty-handed on this visit to Poland and Hungary, in fact in Budapest, Bush Sr. pledged $300 million in aid for Hungarian reforms.

Also for the Poles, in a turn of events, Bush Sr. finished his visit to Hungary in Budapest and started his visit to Warsaw.

Needless to say, the circumstances of Bush Sr.’s visit to Poland were a little tougher than they have been historically because of the alleged Ponzi scheme of Solidarity, but that’s OK. On the one hand the World Bank is pressuring Poland’s debt to be paid when it comes due, on the other hand Maphead is no longer emotionally attached to Eastern Europe and won’t help Poland, and the Solidarity issue is already a minor one. …

Poland is Eastern Europe in addition to the Soviet Union, the largest volume of countries, naturally, the old Bush brought the commitment must be higher, in the dialogue with the ruling party of Poland, the old Bush commitment as long as the diversification of political reforms, Poland’s debt due is not impossible to talk about, the debt problem is only a part of the U.S. is also willing to diversification of reforms immediately after the aid of one billion U.S. dollars to alleviate the current economic difficulties.

With one billion dollars of aid, in exchange for Poland’s diversification reform, in response to Jaruzelski in the map head constantly to ask for help after no avail, promised to learn from Hungary, as soon as possible to carry out the requirements of diversification reforms, the big brother does not give strength, what can he do? He couldn’t have the Soviet Union being a shrinking violet and him leading Poland here against the United States, could he?

Once the diversification reforms are carried out, the sea of money from the free world will immediately enter Poland, and Bush Sr. said that Britain and France that are small fights, the most economically powerful country is the United States.

Jaruzelski after consideration, thinking that now Solidarity has been disgraced, even if the election once, in addition to Solidarity, Poland does not have a huge power of the party, in the end he will win, so after discussions with the party, the round table finalized the decision of diversification reforms, in November to hold a general election.

There is no doubt that Bush did achieve what he wanted with this trip, at the cost of a promise of $1.3 billion in aid, one billion for Poland and three hundred million for Hungary.

Although the decision was made late, but the action is faster than the Hungarian side, Hungary is ready to hold general elections in March next year, see Poland’s debt crisis is really quite serious. And after seeing the attitude of the map head, Jaruzelski’s attitude also changed.

Alan Wilson, together with France, and the United States side to explain the British idea, obviously for the time being the British and French movements in the GDR and Czechoslovakia, and the United States is different. In addition to explaining that the GDR should not be reunited with the Federal Republic of Germany’s old tune, in the GDR and Czechoslovakia cautious reasons, there is another layer of consideration.

Once all the pro-Soviet parties in the Eastern European countries collapsed in a short period of time, would this cause a conservative backlash in Moscow?

This is a big question, bearing in mind that the Soviet Union had troops stationed in many countries in Eastern Europe, at least in Poland and the GDR, which were countries where it was still easy for the Soviet Union to intervene.

It’s also about risk to pick one country to take a brave step and only fit in the next move if Moscow doesn’t react.

After all, the USSR was still around, even if Map Head had shown his non-existent ability, he should still be careful, he couldn’t expect Map Head to be stupid and the entire Soviet hierarchy to be stupid.

“If Moscow doesn’t react, then we can do it with confidence and boldness.” Allen Wilson, at the NATO Secretary General’s meeting, expressed his determination to fight alongside the United States when the time comes.

While he was placating his allies, Arnold was already eating out of the palm of his hand in Berlin, with one well-run, established business after another being picked out for privatization.
