Chapter 1707 – Joint Military Exercises
The shouting must be loud, but the specific things must not go against Britain’s own interests, this is Alan Wilson’s advice, if Romania really has a huge economic and trade relations with Britain, he will never give the advice of sanctioning Romania, Ceausescu’s own behavior has a gross relationship with Britain?
Another thing to take into account is the views of other Eastern European countries, bearing in mind that some have appeared to go down the parliamentary route, but others haven’t had the idea yet. Let’s take Czechoslovakia for example.
Czechoslovakia’s current leader, named Dubček, was supposed to have been invaded in the historical year 1968 and then held over the head by the Soviets to admit their mistake. But in this world, in nineteen sixty-eight, the Soviets chose Poland, the largest country in Eastern Europe in terms of volume, to demonstrate martial virtue, and Dubček became the one who slipped through the cracks.
The problem was that although Dubček wanted to go the way of the market economy, he was really a pro-Soviet, and as an ethnic Slovak, Dubček was a longtime resident of the Soviet Union. It just felt like there was a conflict between the planned economy and Czechoslovakia, which Dubček was leading right now.
And not having been invaded by the Soviet Union, Dubček himself had no aversion to the Soviet Union, and even the goodwill of his youth was still at work.
The ruling party in Czechoslovakia did not want to give up the ruling regime because Dubček was Slovak and also feared that the Czech Republic and Slovakia would part ways after the introduction of a parliamentary system.
Dubček’s father, who once had the American dream, went to the United States, which he thought was free and democratic. He was disappointed that America was not what he had imagined.
He became a socialist and when Dubcek was three years old their family emigrated to the Soviet Union, a new beacon in his heart, to work for the socialist dream. Dubcek has had a strong Soviet sentiment ever since.
So would such a pro-Soviet Czechoslovakian leader, seeing what was going on in Romania, think too much? It was all a question, because Ceausescu had already turned on Hungary, which had already reformed its pluralistic system, because this civil war started in a Hungarian ghetto.
This was also the entry point that Iliescu and others chose to start with the Hungarian-populated areas within Romania and then spread the problem throughout Romania.
This led to the present, where Ceausescu believed that Hungary had played a dishonorable role in this civil war, or at least was an imperialist agent.
Although Allen Wilson believed in his heart that, with Alexeyev’s information, Ceausescu was aware that this time there was such a large number of opponents to join, absolutely unrelated to the Soviet Union.
Only taking into account the power gap between the two countries, as well as the Eastern European countries are in the middle of the change, only did not openly and the Soviet Union to tear their faces off.
Said a circle of different Eastern European countries, Alan Wilson or return to the main topic, “we especially can not allow, the GDR’s true public opinion appeared, Prime Minister, in fact, we all understand in our hearts. If we really want to speak according to public opinion, with the current comparison of economic power, the citizens of the GDR will not be able to resist the temptation.”
“You are now persona non grata for the GDR.” Mrs. Thatcher wore a smile, a smile that had such a hint of giddiness in it.
“I serve only British interests.” Alan Wilson took the opportunity to express his loyalty to Britain, then the words turned connotatively, “Not so much for the Atlanticists though, who knows if they see the capital as London, or Washington?”
Mrs. Thatcher crossed her eyes at the man in front of her, how could she not hear that this was another connotation of the Tories, “Yes, no one in the whole country is more patriotic than you.”
“Points to who, my son is in Berlin at the moment, just as my eldest son was on the front line during the Falklands War.” Alan Wilson ignored the Iron Maiden’s shade, and on the basis of this incident, even though the Iron Maiden was the Prime Minister, mentioning patriotism in front of him was not good enough.
“In a few days it will be a new era, we hope that more good news can come out.” Alan Wilson said this to express his wishes to Margaret Thatcher, “I wish the Prime Minister a happy new year in advance, if there is nothing else, I’m going to spend some time with my family.”
In a few days, the first year of the nineties would be celebrated, and while the free world had seen far less earth-shattering changes in the past year than it had historically, the trends that could be seen were good, and the united free world had good patience to wait for more good news to happen, and hoped that the power of the example set by Poland and Hungary would be transmitted to many more countries.
“Thank you for your good wishes.” Mrs. Thatcher thanked, but not everything had gone well for her in the past year, the Anglo-American relationship had drifted apart after President Bush came to power, and the issue of German reunification had caused animosity between Britain and Germany, all of which she had wanted to avoid, but which she had come to realize that there seemed to be no way around.
Leaving 10 Downing Street, the usual supreme authority called to the ladies, and then went to Monroe’s for dinner, a few days down the face, not like he was so relaxed, Mrs. Thatcher has her own things, the prime minister’s offshore balance is very screwed up.
She was trying to hold on to her inherent position while deliberately trying to show some flexibility at particular moments. On the one hand, she insisted on the sovereignty of Great Britain, defended British “freedom” and defended British interests, and did not want Britain to be rapidly integrated into the European Community’s economic integration.
And insisted on re-establishing the image of the British Empire on the basis of the Anglo-American “special relationship”; on the other hand, she had to face the reality that Britain had lost the historical conditions of supremacy outside the European Community, and was forced to take part in the integration process of the European Community, and at home and abroad to oppose her policy of pursuing a strong pressure on the European Community, she was forced, within a certain range and in a certain degree, to take part in the integration process. had to cooperate and coordinate with other member states of the European Community to a certain extent and to a certain degree.
There were two points on which Allen Wilson and Mrs. Thatcher were still in agreement, explicitly opposing the view of Delors, the President of the Commission of the Community, on the creation of a federalist united Europe. Mrs. Thatcher believed that the unity of Europe should be in the union of independent and sovereign states, and that it should not jeopardize the twin principles of national interest and national sovereignty.
Very good, really to be able to say to do of course is the best, Alan Wilson suggested to the Federal Republic of Germany has a foreign garrison, can not reflect the interests of German citizens rebuttal, caused Mrs. Thatcher’s anger, because the Federal Republic of Germany’s garrison also has a share of the United Kingdom.
“So yes, politicians are like that. It’s obvious that you’re going to die and you’re going to live, but you tell lies every day. Just tell the Germans that the garrison exists any German claims don’t count.” Alan Wilson wistfully said, “As for wanting German unification is not even think about it. Maphead dares to nod his head and he is what happened to Peter III.”
“I’m talking about the policy of European monetary unification.” Mrs. Thatcher frowned, saying, “Are you even listening to me.
“It’s all the same, even Germany can’t unify, what European currency unification, that’s not a joke?” Alan Wilson asked rhetorically, full of concern, “We want to stop the integration of European currencies and prevent a threat to the status of the pound, the best way is to make Germany unable to unify, right?”
Since Mrs. Thatcher felt unsure, Alan Wilson gave his own suggestion, to hold a military exercise in conjunction with the French garrison, the purpose of which, although well known, could not be said to be provocative and clear, and to let the Germans know Britain’s attitude by means of hints.
“How to imply?” Mrs. Thatcher came to be interested, as soon as the exercise began the Germans will understand, is there a new trick in it.
“This time the military maneuvers will be joined even by the British and French forces in West Berlin. We assume that there is chaos in one of the countries to the east and ask for help from Britain and France, so of course there is a role for the West Berlin Garrison, and this is also for the end of the Cold War, we all live in the same world, we can’t always say something about them, us. Even if it’s a request for help from an enemy, in humanitarian considerations, Britain can’t back down.”
The military exercises can be held later in the year, as it’s only just the beginning of the year, but they have to be announced right away, and with France. To show that Britain and France are on the same page.
Mitterrand don’t want to always hide behind Margaret Thatcher, sneakily again when and stand, to stop the reunification of Germany, Britain can stand in the open, but the time to need the French to take a stand, the French must have an attitude.
Just after New Year’s Day, the first major task of the British Foreign Office, is to join forces with France, to jointly promote military exercises aimed at deterring German unification, by the United Kingdom to do this villain no problem, but France after that must contribute.
The British attitude was one that did not have to be hidden nor did it need to be hidden, and the purpose of this visit to France by Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe was noted by the Bonn side. Cole, too, was nervous about the French stance.
“Actually, what is there to be nervous about? It’s not as if President Mitterrand didn’t live in a German concentration camp.” Alan Wilson assumed the responsibility of the Prime Minister’s spokesman, pointing out the historical fact that the current President of the Hairy Kingdom, Mitterrand, people had been imprisoned in concentration camps by the Germans.
On the matter of the Fourth Reich has almost been reborn, I believe that the French president who has lived in concentration camps will come to his own judgment, a little later in the evening, Foreign Minister Geoffrey Howe left the French presidential palace, elaborated on the conclusion that a consensus has been reached on the joint military exercises aimed at contributing to the greater strength of the peace and unity of Europe.
“The countries of Eastern Europe are also part of Europe, and we firmly believe this, that the sovereignty of any country is inviolable, including that of the GDR.”
Jeffrey Howe gleefully promised to the flashing lights, “This is something that President Mitterrand sees in a strikingly similar way to the Prime Minister. The military drills can begin at any time, demonstrating the unity of the European nations on a given issue.”
