Chapter 1751: The Anglo-Spanish Defense Agreement

The Central Intelligence Agency is responsible for many operations against hostile forces, and in some cases, it will take preemptive action, and this department may be able to get by if it plays favorites with other presidents.

But Bush, the president, was once the director of the CIA, he led the department for many years, how could he not know the nature of the CIA.

He declared in Paris a year ago in front of NATO and the European Community countries that the Cold War was over and that the United States had won, so how was it for nothing?

Was the Cold War going to be restarted over a two million people, a republic of the Soviet Union recognized by the whole world except for Iceland?

Two million Lithuanians can’t even be sold for the start-up costs of a single one, so how come the Cold War had to be restarted without passing a law on eucalyptus and some special budget? It’s not like a child’s playground. It’s hard to get the two parties’ legislators to agree on this.

This is not to mention the external environment, the Eastern European countries have just transformed the system, the Soviet Union is still there, even if the United States wants to restart the Cold War, but also depends on the European Community countries are not to cooperate. The Cold War was initiated by the free world, and NATO was founded by the free world first, so the victor naturally did not need to say anything, and then again?

Can the CIA afford to pay for this, to try to reach into the Soviet Union?

The whole free world doesn’t want to see signs of civil war in the USSR, and now that the USSR is about to die, the best thing to do would be to let the Soviet Union die in its final days, so you have to go over there and make a dying, dried up emperor sublime, and spill his own blood?

Probably even if Reagan was still president, he couldn’t do such a thing, not to mention that Bush Sr. was a traditional conservative himself, and he wanted to get the U.S. debt under control a bit now.

He felt that compared to the Soviet Union, which was already breathing its last, Britain and France, two countries whose virtues were not worthy of their positions, could solve the problem of the escalating U.S. debt.

Allen Wilson, who felt a karmic force haunting him, wished the Soviet Union well and alive for the same reason, though he did not know at this time what Bush Sr. was thinking.

The reaction of the United States is not surprising, not to mention the United States, in any other country, do not want to see a country with a stockpile of 40,000 to 50,000 nuclear bombs to fight a civil war, even if there are signs of civil war.

Not being the first to step in and persuade to make peace is considered old-fashioned, so how could they possibly sow discord at this time?

“So what, this one is called? Mr. Vytautas Landsbergis, the biggest role at this time, is to find a little trouble for Moscow, this trouble can not be too big. It can’t upset the leaders of the Soviet Union, and once the leaders of the Soviet Union are upset, there’s nothing we can do but spew a few words at the Soviet Union.”

Alan Wilson dragged his chin with one hand and looked at Middleton, “Not to mention him, if the Soviet Union’s Red Navy’s Baltic Fleet sent out a warship at this point and headed to Iceland to fire a few salvos, NATO probably wouldn’t have a response.”

“Isn’t that so?” Middleton let out a bitter laugh, wasn’t the top man being a little too pessimistic.

“It’s a fact of life, who wants to be diverted from conflict by the current Soviet Union. Maphead is a dumbass, we can’t expect the Soviet leadership to not have a smart person.” Alan Wilson explained with a raised eyebrow, “Otherwise the US, as it always did in the old days, would have sent someone by now. Bush was clamoring for sanctions months ago, and to this day we haven’t seen what they are.”

“And to be honest, the Soviet Union would have been alive in the midst of such sanctions for decades of the Cold War, and even now the Soviet Union’s trade network has little to do with the free world.”

Alan Wilson never denied the important role of the Saudis in cooperating with the United States, but the feat of the Soviet Union’s five consecutive declines after the mapheads came to power was largely the result of the mapheads themselves having a pivotal role to play.

“What the Secretary General said.” Middleton returned with a smooth step, then the conversation turned, “Now that privatization in the GDR has smoothed out, I think Arnold could use a change of scenery to work out.”

“It’s all for the benefit of society, it’s the same wherever you go.” Alan Wilson was just being modest and humble, but still snapped, “So? Where to go?”

“Economic building, you can pick an environment to adapt to, Whitehall up and down has always looked favorably on it, I think it’s good to be the High Commissioner of the Channel Colony?” Middleton said this and added, “It’s not that I think so either, it’s that my colleagues think so.”

The Straits Colony was the next tier of institutions to the Malayan territories, and after Malaya was on the right track, the Straits Colony was split up again, removing balance considerations in the traditional sense. The British Empire could merge if it wanted to, or partition if it didn’t.

The Straits Settlements then included four cities, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca and Singapore, as well as Christmas Island, where talent was exercised. The Commissioner of the Straits Settlements, or Malaya’s number two.

“Indeed, the GDR has passed its most absorbing time, and the British Empire is an Asian country that should focus its main attention over there.”

Alan Wilson nodded his head in recognition; the British Empire being an Asian country was a sneer at British state policy in the nineteenth century, listing as a comparison the wars that had been fought to balance the balance with Europe’s offshoring and to protect the well-being of British India; Britain had waged more wars for British India than it had in Europe, hence the phrase.

The phrase is still commonplace now, after all, at India’s invitation, Britain is prepared to take such a hand in the Mongrel Tigers’ disruption of free navigation.

Earlier he was still in the Ministry of Defense, when the Chief of Defense Staff to develop a plan to combat the bandits, in his view the problem is not too big, Sri Lanka is not much bigger than the island of fraud, as long as to cut off the link with the subcontinent Tamils, the trouble is not that much.

Tamil Meng Hu organization, or Sri Lanka’s independence, the politically disadvantaged Tamils are dissatisfied with the government presided over by the Sinhalese in the language, employment, education and religion and other aspects of the policy, the contradiction between the two ethnic groups is increasingly intensified, and many bloody conflicts.

Of course in the eyes of some countries this was another insignificant part of the colonial crimes of the British Empire, and sometimes Alan Wilson had to put in a word or two about Britain. Anything can be blamed on colonization, there were already Tamils on the ground before Britain went there.

The LTTE violently attempted to create an independent Tamil state in the eastern and northern parts of S. They opposed the Sri Lanka-India peace agreement and demanded the withdrawal of Indian troops.

Its main equipment includes battle tanks, armored transport vehicles, long-range artillery, anti-aircraft missiles, and gunboats for patrols.

Alan Wilson remembers that a major power was supporting the Sri Lankan government in the elimination of the Tamil Mangal Tiger organization, and it certainly took a short time.

He felt that Britain was in a better position to solve the problem faster; after all, unlike a certain great power, which in this day and age could only do so by means of advisers, Britain could just pull a few frigates out of the Royal Pacific Fleet, the fleet with the oldest average age of ships, and it would be enough to cut off the links between the Sri Lankan Tamils and the Indian Tamils.

Ground armament is not Britain’s forte, especially jungle and guerrilla warfare, which depends on seeing if Dahl can recruit a bunch of men from Vietnam, which is raising millions of troops, to generate foreign exchange abroad, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

“How hard can it be to fight an army of ten thousand men?” Alan Wilson slapped on the map, probably the level of the Lithuanian secessionist army, is it hard to deal with?

This time, the supreme authority has to be a bull’s-eye once, take a look at the quite famous Meng Hu organization, can have much success, the Ministry of Defense in accordance with the Boer War’s counter-guerrilla warfare took out a set of battle plans, Allen Wilson did not mind the old, on the level of the Sri Lankan army, stronger than the Boers is certain, big to say is off the charts? That’s how it is.

Sri Lanka as a former British colony, the political system and the United Kingdom have similarities, even in the free world, also divided into presidential and parliamentary system, Sri Lanka is the latter. Dingili Banda Wijetunga is now the current Prime Minister of Sri Lanka and was more than willing to step in when Britain offered to help.

In what way, Britain is better than the Indians, right? And Britain’s ambitions are no match for the real threat of India interfering in Sri Lanka’s internal affairs through the Mongrel Tigers, but ultimately fearing that the growth of the Mongrel Tigers would instead provoke separatism among India’s native Tamils, a swing in which Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated.

The Indian government is sure that they can not handle the problem, the British and rubbing up unhappy, but there are precedents, for example, the Bengal civil war in 1971, the United Kingdom is not a show of extreme sublimity, hard to squeeze into Bangladesh, who let you can not handle, dish is the original sin.

Britain is willing to take the initiative to invite the Sri Lankan government, but also save India’s face is willing to joint action, has been very good to the Indians.

After today, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dingili Banda Wijetunga’s trip to London ended with a joint defense agreement with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Peace in Asia cannot be achieved for a single day without me, Great Britain, and what can be done about the fact that these countries look to Britain as their backbone?

If this were the original, the countries of the Soviet bloc, especially the world’s first territorial power and the world’s first populous power, would have had to rail against imperialism, times have changed, and there won’t be any such thing in the future.

“Australia and New Zealand have offered to send some staff officers to coordinate operations against the Mongrel Tigers.” Middleton finished the good news, then said, “But the word from the US seems to be that they are reluctant to expand Britain’s input in the military field.”

“You see, the negotiations between Lithuania and Moscow didn’t even get the Americans to put their full attention on it.” Alan Wilson grunted softly, “There are times when we have to admit that this ally is indeed puzzling, does it count as an ally or not?”
