Chapter 1719 – Cole Resigns

“It looks like I’ve really accomplished something with this visit.” Having just stepped out of London’s international airport, Mrs. Thatcher had heard the news of the countries’ share of the table to clock in and sign off in Berlin, which could well be said to be her own leadership of Europe at work.

“Let’s just say we were right to put our chips on the GDR, and with the incompetence of Maphead, we can’t pin our hopes on the Soviet Union. It would be better for everyone if Kohl knew what he was doing.” Alan Wilson wasn’t so much self-congratulatory visionary as he was sentimental about the collective will of the European nations.

Stopping the unification of Germany is the collective will of Europe, the main players are Britain, France and Italy, as well as Poland and Czechoslovakia in Eastern Europe, the former does not want Germany to have the advantage of size, once the unification of the eighty million people, plus the explicitly always quarrel with Germany, secretly has been playing with Germany with the cooperation of Austria, this extra population will have a great advantage for other countries.

As for the two small partners in Eastern Europe, it was purely the expulsion of Germanic people from Eastern Europe after the war, and these two countries were afraid that Germany would retaliate against these two countries after unification.

While Allen Wilson knew that historically it didn’t happen, the Poles and Czechoslovakians didn’t know what the future held.

For a long time it was the norm for the Federal Republic of Germany to have the upper hand in confrontations with the GDR due to its economic advantages, but now it was different, who made Kohl prematurely reveal his ambitions for German unification.

Think so in fact completely wrong Kohl, it is the British have been on the alert for German reunification, early alarm, this is the memory of history is also the current reality, Alan Wilson put this time a year ahead of time, so that Mrs. Sacheff had enough time to play out, Britain is still enough to use Germany’s advantage of national strength.

Alan Wilson followed the Prime Minister to Europe and returned to Whitehall to say that he wanted to rest and relax, and the richest woman had just returned to London with good news from Australia.

“Indonesia’s presence still pays off.” Alan Wilson spoke with gratitude, Indonesia as a member of the Soviet camp played a role that was countless times more important than in its original history. Without this Red Indonesia, Australia wouldn’t have been so nice.

“How about the importance of Malaya.” Pamela Mountbatten looked at it from another angle, if Malaya had been independent and out of British hands long ago, the north-south pincer movement against Indonesia would have been broken, and Australia might still have chosen the United States as its backer, but since Malaya still existed, Australia had to help Britain maintain the pincer movement against Indonesia.

“There are both reasons, I guess. In any case, this generation of fighters is already extremely stretched relying on British input.”

Alan Wilson said honestly, “It really needs a country with enough financial resources to help the UK maintain the current level of scientific research, otherwise, not to mention staying put, it is not impossible to take a big step backwards.”

“A country can still live regressing.” Incredulity was written all over Pamela Mountbatten’s face before she nodded and said, “Which country are you talking about?”

“Argentina.” Alan Wilson replied without being salty, such examples abound, who said that mankind always moves forward, does moving forward conform to the objective law?

Not to mention a small degree of regression, civilization can be a substantial regression, for example, Australia, the rich woman’s heart of the soul of the promised land, if in the agricultural era, Australia is a civilization than North America are worse than the black hole.

North America’s problem is nothing more than the Arctic Ocean cold air without warning southward, harvesting the local agriculture, but the North American Indians can still be nomadic, North America, that and the Huns have the same environment of the Indians, the population does not go up to be hanged.

And Australia’s aborigines, is a real experience of civilization regression, the South Island language family migration route, is from the south of a large country because of force majeure, into Southeast Asia, although in the face of force majeure some grey, does not mean that the South Island language family of people have no civilization, in Southeast Asia, the ruins of the site proved that the people should be able to do it all.

Then these people entered Australia, this seemingly vast continent, a breath of degradation from the agricultural society to the primitive, bring the seeds do not grow at all, might as well go around whisking kangaroos to fill their stomachs.

Compared to the Australian aborigines who all regressed into primitives, the Indians of North America were at best unable to progress as they were harvested by the cold air of the Arctic Ocean, but people didn’t regress either. The Australian aborigines were truly regressing from an agricultural society into primitive people.

“How about Arnold.” Pamela Mountbatten, having heard her husband’s tall tales, thought it better to ask practical questions; as a mother, she was concerned about her son and how his life was going now.

“He’s doing great, the successful privatization of the GDR will open up his popularity. Future progress will also be smoother.”

Alan Wilson replied painfully, “In fact, it’s useless to unify Germany now, the GDR’s industries and the British alliance have become a foregone conclusion, and the capital in the west can’t be grabbed anymore.”

There are always leaks, such as the Dragoon Sisters, but most of the capital of the GDR can’t do anything but watch this time.

“That’s a relief, I miss not having my children around.” Pamela Mountbatten was sentimental, revealing her maternal side.

The Supreme Authority patted his wife’s back and comforted her, a manly man, born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under people for a long time? It doesn’t seem too auspicious? Consider it said to Alexeyev.

In the time that followed, a united Europe shocked the whole world, Portugal, Italy, France, Switzerland, as if not to make a trip to Berlin now would not qualify as a European statesman.

On the matter of not allowing Germany to unify, the whole of Europe showed unprecedented unity.

These European heads of state, open mouth is the United Nations Charter, shut up is Berlin is the real capital of Germany, anyway, Mrs. Thatcher has said, the Berlin Wall is a usual border protection system, everyone is not modest, directly to the Berlin Wall as a punch card shrine, not under the Berlin Wall to emphasize the historical significance of the Berlin Wall, it would seem out of place.

Classic quotes abound, so close to calling the FRG a pseudo-regime, this one saying that the GDR maintained better traditions, that one saying that GDR citizens had more good qualities. The race was on to hurt the feelings of the citizens of the FRG.

The Bundesrepublik Deutschland now finally knew what kind of consequences this trend, worn by the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, had brought, and the citizens of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland understood what kind of attitude the European countries really had towards their own country, and the attitude was obvious, because the Portuguese president gave a special batch of daily necessities as a gift to the Soviet troops in Germany.

The Germans could say that the Portuguese president did this for the benefit of Britain, but surely Britain would not recognize it, even if the two countries have a history of up to seven hundred years of alliance, which means that it has something to do with Britain?

The external loss of energy to come to the Federal Republic of Germany, is still in a variety of reasons not to account for, internal energy prices are high, the pressure is all in the Chancellor Kohl’s body, the big businesses see that the GDR has been the British get their hands on, and now can not snatch the interests of the natural unification of the matter has been unenthusiastic.

Kohl has lost the support of domestic capital, Koch Hans two brothers decided to find the major enterprises to talk to the Chancellor about the current plight of German industry.

The way and not without, only need Kohl take responsibility, with a patriotic heart to make an example, sacrifice themselves to protect Germany.

Portugal was not only the first to visit Germany after Britain, but also called for the GDR to be absorbed into the EEC, which, judging from the ambiguous attitudes of various countries, is not impossible.

If Kohl was only unsupported by the European countries before, he is now opposed by them, and this is the fruit of Margaret Thatcher’s year-long diplomacy around Germany.

At the end of March, Federal German Chancellor Kohl officially announced that he was resigning as Chancellor for medical reasons, to devote his main efforts to fighting his illness; Kohl’s resignation signaled that this effort to reunify Germany had been explicitly killed, and on the very same day, the Norwegian side put out the news that repairs to the gas pipeline were nearing completion.

Kohl ended this German unification fiasco with his own resignation, and compared to his brothers in the west, the GDR got a promised loan of more than two billion dollars in a month’s time of punching the clock alone, which can be said to be earning a lot of money, and in front of the TV set broadcasting the news of Kohl’s resignation, no matter whether it is the Federal Republic of Germany or the Democratic Republic of Germany, there are countless people who are all sighing in the dark.

“We can’t trust the Germans, no matter who Kohl’s successor is, the Ten Programs must have a say.” Alan Wilson made his own suggestion on behalf of Whitehall at the Cabinet meeting, “The GDR and the GDR are is the relationship between the state and the nation, these are two countries, unchangeable.”

The Cabinet Secretary’s point was simply that Britain could not yet let its guard down on the question of German unification, and who knew whether the Germans were not playing backroom tricks.

Apparently, the widely respected cabinet ministers, also recognized this suspicion, said that it is still necessary to focus mainly on the defense of Germany, although the Soviet Union is stationed in the east, but from the public information, it is clear that the Soviet withdrawal under the leadership of the map head is playing a real game, and even beyond the free world’s expectations.

“Still, Kohl’s resignation can be seen as a stage victory, and it’s not as if we can’t be happy about it.” Mrs. Thatcher smiled and set the tone for the news, and the room was filled with laughter.

This matter was certainly worth rejoicing over, never mind how convoluted the process had been and how ugly the eating had been as long as the result had been good, this was a great victory as long as the UK had gone down personally against Germany this time. The Germans were not happy, so what could they do?

Alan Wilson dripped with relief, “Luckily, it didn’t go so far as to necessitate a military solution to the problem after all.”
