Chapter 1769: Listening to Heaven’s Fate
According to the feedback from the military personnel near the White House, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 liberal supporters around the White House, expressing support for the Chetniks’ gang, and having the solidarity of such a group of people is considered a kind of protection for Khasbulatov, the only Russian Speaker of the House who has not yet fallen into the net.
After a short period of reflection, Alexeyev ordered to first arrest a group of people including the mayor of Moscow, the garrison commander, and finally to consider the issue of the White House, “Send someone to receive the troops into the city, order the Taman division and other troops to stand by for the time being, and after the receiving troops enter the city block the road to the White House, and allow them to leave and not to enter.”
This meeting of the Supreme Soviet has been broadcast live across the globe, and every country knows that the Khitans have been wiped out, and at this point the free world must come up with a countermeasure to do so.
Britain, of course, is also the same, the emergency cabinet meeting has been held, but also hiding his daughter-in-law and grandchildren of Alan Wilson, of course, can not be an exception, what things in the United Kingdom can be less than him? ,
Diplomacy is important, Foreign Secretary John Major is the focus of the Cabinet meeting, the first discussion is, about the Soviet Union issued a certain degree of threat to the United Kingdom, that is, a harsh sentence, that is, the sentence to sell nuclear bombs to Argentina, the defeated in the Falklands War.
“In fact, Argentina this country is not difficult to deal with, if we can unite with the United States to impose all-round pressure on Argentina, the Argentine government will give it a good consideration, after all, the Americas is the backyard of the Americans, we certainly do not want Argentina to have nuclear weapons, do the Americans like it?”
Alan Wilson spoke with a calm face, “But on a more macro level, the threat of the Soviet Union is very scary. It’s easy to deal with an Argentina, but there are so many countries in this world, there are always bold countries that may want to move, the situation in the Middle East is very complicated, if you let a peaceful religious country control nuclear weapons? That’s just part of it, North Korea has the Japanese who can’t sleep, the Indonesians deploy nuclear weapons, the Australians can jump up and down.”
“So the threat is really serious, it’s not that Argentina might be afraid to respond and he’s not serious.”
By the end of the sentence Allen Wilson had been filled with a bitter smile, “It’s a real threat, but we can’t respond to that threat yet, and I’m sure the US has decided that the Soviets are just joking.”
“When they don’t threaten us, we say every day that the Soviet Union is a threat, and when they do threaten, they are no longer a threat either.” John Major summarized the Cabinet Secretary’s logic.
Alan Wilson nodded, it was like the free world saying decades later about a major power that the quality of the product of the product of a major power was so bad that any electronic tea would explode, but it had to be except for nuclear weapons, and because the quality of the product of the product of a major power was so bad that the nukes had to not explode.
“And what surprising logic?” Mrs. Thatcher said with a scornful look on her face, “That’s the logic inherent in what Whitehall has been doing for decades.”
“Prime Minister, why bother stating the obvious?” Alan Wilson did not give the Prime Minister any face at all and grunted lightly, “The worst of our relationship with the Soviet Union was after World War II, and the relationship started to improve in the seventies, and the intrinsic reason for this was that the Soviet Union was no longer something that the UK alone could deal with at that time. Is the Prime Minister going to talk about the United States again, the United States is your special ally, perhaps it is not too late for the Prime Minister to rush to President Bush. After a few more Prime Ministers, the President of the United States will not be able to trace the blame to you when he puts pressure on Britain, Britain is not the Soviet Union, and the option of shooting the outgoing Prime Minister does not exist.”
A husband and wife store, definitely a husband and wife store! The cabinet ministers present growled filial piety in their hearts, don’t they even carry people on their backs anymore? At such an important cabinet meeting, the Cabinet Secretary General is doing this?
“But the good thing is, Map Head, as a close friend of the Prime Minister, made the USSR fall six times in a row after he came to power, and the USSR isn’t so scary now. There are currently two ways that can be used to deal with the Soviet Union’s foundation next.”
John Major was intrigued and took the initiative to ask, “I wonder which two approaches the Secretary General is talking about?”
“The first is to return to the Cold War, although our investments in the GDR and other Eastern European countries may have to be lost. The losses would be in excess of several billion pounds. Investments in the Soviet Union following the opening of the USSR could also go down the drain.”
Alan Wilson’s words came out, causing the cabinet ministers to look at each other in disbelief, this was certainly not a good option, and the next explanation was heard, “Although the Soviet Union is no longer as powerful as it was during the Brezhnev era, there are still a number of garrisons in the Eastern European countries, and there is not much that Britain can actually do if it chooses to lose both sides of the argument.”
Alan Wilson’s meaning is very simple, the Soviet Union’s troops in Eastern Europe still exists, if you really want to I’m not good and do not let you good, or can pull the Cold War pattern back. The US might not have much to lose, but the European countries would have a lot to lose.
Mrs. Thatcher might not mind going back to the Cold War, even if she suffered some economic losses, as long as the Iron Lady didn’t care about riding in a convertible, no one could threaten the Iron Lady.
As the crowd fell silent, Alan Wilson suggested another approach, “But if the Soviet Union is not prepared to go back to its old ways and not make a lose-lose decision. We can try the British Empire’s approach, which is offshore balancing. This presupposes that the Soviet Union acquiesces to the fact that the pattern in Eastern Europe has changed and no longer has the luxury of using the Eastern European countries as a front line in a confrontation with NATO. This way we listen to the Soviet Union’s demands within the existing pattern and see if we can shape a lasting European peace order.”
This approach also means that the Soviet Union is not utilizing the presence of troops, changing back to countries like the GDR and Poland, and acquiescing to geopolitical changes so that the Soviet Union’s threat to Europe is greatly reduced, and instead of choosing to stay close to the United States and continue the Cold War, Britain would choose the former diplomatic philosophy of the British Empire, I beat you but I won’t kill you but the Soviet Union would have to publicly concede defeat.
If the Soviet Union chose the former strategy, for Britain, the Cold War would not only have been won in vain, but there would have been losses, and investments in the GDR and Eastern European countries would have been lost. Had the latter been chosen, Allen Wilson’s advice would have been that it was negotiable, there was nothing that could not be negotiated.
As for what Bulgaria and Romania, before the First World War was the Imperial Russia’s junior partner, never dyed in the wool, to Britain can not talk about losing.
“This is your way?” Mrs. Thatcher looked at Alan Wilson and said, “Now the map head can still be in power.”
“In terms of the content of this assembly, he is only nominally still in power.” Alan Wilson replied sincerely, “His kind of man, and there aren’t many of them in the whole world, and there shouldn’t be any in the future. And we have to consider the role of France, it’s still an open question whether France will be willing to continue to be on top with the Soviet Union after this time.”
From the old days when the Soviet Union was impeccable, the French were making small secret moves, not to mention the fact that the Soviet Union’s power may now be regressing, and the threat to France has lessened considerably. Will France adopt an attitude that favors the Soviet Union and maintains the balance in Europe? This is anyone’s guess.
The mention of France instantly silenced these British rulers. Britain can control itself and still control France? Who knows what Mitterrand really thinks?
In the middle of the meeting, the British MI6 intelligence officer did not idle, has sent over Alexeyev’s own curriculum vitae as a reference for the Cabinet meeting, Alan Wilson also got a copy, “Arikseyev, vice chairman of the KGB, head of the Security Service in Moscow, the rank of lieutenant general, the mother …… he Mother I recognize.”
The air was frozen, Alan Wilson was stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes, with a smile, explained, “Member of the Central Presidium of the USSR, nicknamed the Culture Czar, successively served as the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, Minister of Education, Minister of Culture, took part in Khrushchev’s coup d’état in the fifties, and Brezhnev’s coup d’état in the sixties, and the reason why I know her is that among the negotiations in Potsdam She was a representative of the Soviet Union, and I betrayed the Polish government-in-exile while negotiating with her.”
This is all public information, Alan Wilson not only did not hide the slightest, but also as a merit to promote this incident, but also deeply proud of this.
Of course, the overwhelming reason for the pride was not in a little Potsdam conference; the news of the last two days made him even prouder, except that the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Ministers had no need to know why.
“If the Cabinet Secretary has that connection, could he build a bridge at a diplomatic level that would be important to the relationship between the two countries.” John Major wants the Cabinet Secretary to give to his country out of the public interest.
“Of course I am willing, but this woman can be powerful.” Alan Wilson can’t measure what can’t be quantified, but this world’s Foltseva, certainly much more powerful than the original world’s, just from the time in politics, I don’t know how many more years, and a difficult son.
Difficult son, is expressing a warm welcome to Marshal Akhromeyev entering the city, the good old son’s bottom line is obviously with the increase in the number of soldiers.
Tens of thousands of armed officers and soldiers coming into the city clearly brought a much greater bottom line than when he relied on two special forces operations.
“The White House must be attacked, and we must not be softened by the presence of some deluded masses.” Marshal Akhromeyev was informed that there were supporters rallying at the White House, but still said he would have the army clear the area.
Alexeyev had absolutely no objections to this, but army fire would certainly cause deaths and injuries and should be emphatically avoided, and Akhromeyev raised one eyebrow, wondering what Foltseva’s son, who had high hopes, was thinking.
“Let’s leave the fate of these ignoramuses to luck.” Arikseyev uttered the unspoken words, “Fire a cloudburst bomb at the White House, and it’s up to them to decide where their own luck lies, whether they live or die.”
There was no need to hide anything, the military and police near the White House had already begun to evacuate the event, and the order to use cloudburst bombs to give the liberals a hard time had already begun to spread in front of the solidarity crowd.
