Chapter 1746 Replace him?

“Margaret Thatcher has been re-elected three times, the Conservative Party has been in power for more than ten years, the long term in power is certainly conducive to the implementation of national policies, but we can not like the Axis countries to learn is not it?”

Axis countries Germany, Italy and Japan, all have the tradition of long-term ruling party, not for Italy and Japan, the ruling party almost never changed, the ruling party of the Federal Republic of Germany is also very stable, only and the other two Axis partners can not be compared to it.

If it is not for the energy crisis this time to take off the Kohl, the president still has eight years of time in power it.

Ross quietly listened to his father’s words and opened his mouth, “What Sir means is to balance the power of the two parties and not let one dominate.”

“Yes, that’s what it means.” Alan Wilson nodded his head, it is the meaning that the society has to be balanced and not allow one family to dominate, “If this black pot is taken by Margaret Thatcher alone, the Conservative Party may use it to cut, so it is better to let the entire Conservative Party be in charge.”

“Is there any way around that?” Ross inquired, not understanding, “Wouldn’t that involve an exchange of interests with some MPs?”

“That’s where I hesitate, I don’t want to make an exchange with them.” Alan Wilson wanted to say something, if possible, he wanted to deal a fatal blow to the Atlanticists, so that these MPs who didn’t know whether it was the British or the American position would be devastated, it would be too cheap to use it to exchange for the result of an election, “In that case, conduct a survey of the Conservative Party’s MPs’ constituencies, have a basic understanding, and we’ll think about what to do. ”

Rose nodded, just wanted to leave suddenly seemed to remember something, “Sir, mother always misses you these days, you should go see her.”

“Of course.” Alan Wilson answered very dry, all without even a little reluctance, is this laborious life all life have insisted on, continue to insist on nothing.

Alan Wilson also want to talk to Lawson, after all, the Financial Secretary in his place, there and in-laws have the same status, Alan Wilson did not polite, asked the Financial Secretary is not want to do.

“I heard that the Conservative Party has to resign to pressure the speech?” Alan Wilson said in an objective and neutral tone, “Don’t get me wrong, this has nothing to do with Whitehall, it’s me personally who is more curious.”

“Secretary General, are you trying to protect the Prime Minister.” Lawson was of course a little surprised, but immediately thought of another possibility, it was well known that there was a political rumor circulating within the government that Whitehall and 10 Downing Street existed in a sort of husband-and-wife store, and that the Cabinet Secretary General had detected an unfavorable trend against the Prime Minister, and was trying to stop it this time?

Without admitting or denying it, Alan Wilson turned the tables and said, “Who should be responsible for the casualties that occurred during the suppression of the coal strike? Are you not afraid that when you become the opposition party, someone will demand that you be held responsible? The lives of British citizens cannot be lost in vain.”

“Is that a threat?” Lawson froze for a moment, then replied easily, “You do realize that traditionally, such isolated tragedies hold MPs responsible?”

“Traditionally? An earlier tradition, England would have been spoken for by the House of Lords.” Alan Wilson said grimly, “Lawson, you’re actually one of us. How can party interests override personal interests? There’s nothing wrong with the Prime Minister’s choices, and it’s absolutely wrong to make a change in direction just for the sake of a short-lived approval rating.”

Alan Wilson suggests how much you, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, can gain by siding with the Conservatives, on the contrary, the future benefits your daughter brings are far greater than being a minister of anything.

People have to take responsibility for themselves, like Maphead, who is taking responsibility for himself, and partisan interests count for nothing, and after US President George W. Bush threatened to impose sanctions, the forward-thinking, irresponsible leader of the USSR, once again, wanted to back down.

Maphead did not give up on Lithuania before, and at a meeting of the Supreme Soviet, once again emphasized that the Soviet Union sent troops to Lithuania in order to restore constitutional law there.

Faced with the subsequent visit of journalists, in order to salvage the international image of the Soviet Union, the map head said that he only realized after the fact that the army had injured Lithuanian civilians, that he thought that this tragic news happened, absolutely an accident, and that he was very opposed to the use of violence to solve the problem.

Maphead expressed his willingness to send envoys and even personally traveled to Lithuania in the hope that the two sides could work together again, and after both sides reached a consensus, the Soviet army withdrew all of its airborne troops to show its sincerity.

Even though Yazov, Yanayev and others advocated the use of strong-arm tactics, the map head still chose to back down and make concessions, and as a sign of good faith he ordered Lieutenant General Fyodor Mikhailovich Kuzmin, the commander of the Baltic Military District, to take control of the garrison and prevent the situation from expanding.

This was naturally an undisputed victory for the Khitans’ faction, and with another victory over Map Head, his popularity rose, and he was already widely recognized both at home and abroad as a politician who had stood up to Map Head.

As for Map Head’s foresight this time, it led to the party’s morale falling into a slump, and the Union Republics, which had previously stated their willingness to follow, were once again plunged into disappointment.

After Map Head had conceded to the order announcing the return of the garrison to its barracks, Yazov and Yanayev had a brief conversation, the two being strong advocates of getting tough with the Lithuanian secessionist forces, and had always held to such a view, but without a doubt, because of Map Head’s backward-looking attitude, they had almost failed once again.

For the first time, the two felt that if Maphead was allowed to continue to lead the Soviet Union, this could become a monumental mistake, and after a short conversation, the two came to a consensus that they couldn’t go on like this.

In fact both men had been promoted by Maphead, Yanayev having previously been a union leader.

Yazov, on the other hand, although he had gone through the war, was also low in seniority, and it was Maphead who crossed over to many senior generals and chose the relatively young and less senior Deputy Minister of Defense and Director of the General Directorate of Cadre Training, Army General Yazov, as the new Minister of Defense.

The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR appointed Grand General Dmitry Timofeyevich Yazov as Minister of Defense of the USSR.

Yazov, who was sixty-three years old that year, was no more than a battalion cadre at the end of the Patriotic War, and was only promoted to the rank of major general in 1984, with a party position as a mere alternate member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).

For Yanayev and Yazov, the map head to both of them have knowledge of the favor, the two did always support the map head, then began a disappointment until now.

Even they had become intolerant of this leader and rose the idea of replacing this person.

Alan Wilson does not know, it turns out that at this time both the Soviet Union and Britain are experiencing internal rebellion, he is also coordinating the Conservative Party MPs, and no coincidence, Aliksheyev is also in front of Foltseva, wanting his mother to help him analyze the current situation, “When is it more appropriate to provoke a conflict.”

“This game between the head of the map and the Russian president, he lost.” Foltseva first identified Map Head as the loser this time, and then said, “Wait until the garrison returns to the barracks before making a move, so that after Map Head’s identity as the loser has already been established, it will be an opportunity to strike a blow to Yeltsin’s popularity. Too early won’t work, need to let the defeat of the map head fester for a while, so hold back for now.”

“I wonder what he thinks.” He was, naturally, some supreme authority on the internal conflicts of Britain, which was dealing with a situation similar to that of the Soviet Union, as Aliksheyev had said.

“I think he sees it much the same way.” Little did Foltseva know that at this point he happened to guess correctly that Alan Wilson was indeed protecting the internal unity of the Conservative government, and that both countries were now dealing with pretty much the same problems, though taking a different approach; he was preserving unity, and on the Russian side it was on the eve of a showdown.

Foltseva reminded Alikseyev, “This time there will be a general disappointment in the party, and there might be a lot of people who have the desire to replace him. The political situation will become even more chaotic. Some of your sneaky little maneuvers, as long as they’re done stealthily enough, no one should care.”

This is to let Arikseyev rest assured to boldly do, culture tsar has always opposed his son to get involved in politics, but has been opposed to the ineffective, now she can only do a good job as a staff officer’s duty, remind Arikseyev not to make irreparable mistakes in the process again.

Later in the evening, Alan Wilson continued his own Soviet call and came up with a suggestion, “Are there any credible minority forces that could be used?”

Alan Wilson thought about the traditional offshore balance, and how it was actually sometimes more effective to use such forces against rebel forces.

If there were any regrets in recent times, Allen Wilson certainly respected Zuo Zongtang Left Marshal, but if it was up to him, he still wished that General Duo Long’a’s strategy had replaced Zuo Zongtang’s, and General Duo shouldn’t have died at an early age.

“There are no local peoples that can be utilized, if Central Asia, there is a group of Koreans that can be used.” Alexeyev nodded to the direct counter question, “Mother told me to wait a little while until the garrison returned to the station to do it, so that it can hit Yeltsin’s popularity.”

“She’s right, surely she knows the Soviet Union better than I do, listen to her.” Alan Wilson’s mood changed once he heard about the Chetan with the compound surname Yeltsin and a single name, Chin, “Didn’t he state his support for Lithuanian Independence, let’s use the bloodletting of the Russian community against him, the hand has to be hateful, and there are times when we have to abandon the good guys once in a while.”

With the order from Maphead, the Baltic Military District troops withdrew from their previously staged locations, and once again there was a power vacuum in Lithuania, which was controlled by the Soviets.

The Alpha Force operation had turned out to be almost useless this time, and even had to be criticized for causing casualties.

The most urgent thing for Arikseyev now is to pacify the Alpha Force, and also to follow the pressure from above to discard a group of good guys and replace them with more reliable commanders to improve his control over the Alpha Force.
