Chapter 1771: Facing the Problem
Back to the Cold War pattern, this is for the British Western European countries, not only the United Kingdom is a huge damage, in this damage has been in Eastern Europe landing in the billions of pounds are not particularly important, although at a certain level this is also very important, there is no business can not blinking lost billions of pounds, at least the United Kingdom does not have such a business.
It’s not just the UK that invests in Eastern Europe, aren’t there French companies, and German companies too. The money was confiscated by the Soviet Union, not to say all of it this year, but surely some governments will fall as a result.
So after a few days of meetings in Whitehall, the result was that a return to the Cold War would be the death of the current government, and the Conservatives, who already had little chance of winning because of the poll tax, would have no chance at all of winning if they returned to the Cold War.
Geographically speaking, once the Cold War is established, there will only be 3 million square kilometers of land left for the EC countries to play freely.
Even if Alan Wilson set the combat power of the Soviet army and the Russian army thirty years later as equal, with 200,000 Russian troops can occupy a quarter of Ukraine, a Ukraine is equivalent to the area of two Federal Republic of Germany, the Soviet army in Germany a surprise attack on the whole of Germany will be gone.
A return to the Cold War format would be too much of a disadvantage to Western Europe, otherwise what was the point of hugging the US’s leg for so many years? Wasn’t it because they were afraid of the reaction?
The situation now is that the free world should take what it can get, the Cold War has been won, the free world has defeated the Soviet Union, and in the Soviet Union’s point of view, certainly do not consider themselves and the unconditional surrender of the Federal Republic of Germany has the same status, like Germany’s downfall, the Soviet Union will certainly not accept.
Alan Wilson arrived at 10 Downing Street with the results of the discussion, but the first question was to ask Margaret Thatcher what she thought of the next election.
“What do you think?” Mrs. Thatcher asked rhetorically, “Do you think that there is no chance of me being re-elected.”
“Nothing in the world is 100 percent, maybe a miracle will happen.” Alan Wilson’s words meant that basically there was no way the Conservatives could win, and then handed over the results of the Whitehall discussion.
Mrs. Thatcher looked at the unsatisfactory drip-drip-drip, “Keep the status quo? A very conservative view.”
“If the Prime Minister is not satisfied, she might consider joining the Labor Party to continue the general election.” Alan Wilson sneered, “That wouldn’t be conservative, it could be considered very radical. You politicians just like to see positions, would you dare to act like the Soviets and set off cloudburst bombs at the House of Commons? You wouldn’t dare, and since you wouldn’t dare, don’t talk useless nonsense.”
This time Alan Wilson is not at all spoiled Iron Maiden, the Cabinet Secretary is never spoiled children, only the original reluctance to do so, more inclined to communicate slowly.
Now it’s different, the Iron Lady has completed the task he expected, the previous successive governments formed state-owned enterprises, handed over to reliable people. This hammer has finished, and the future prime ministers can not be replicated, he naturally does not have to coax the other side, for some of the whimsicality that do not see eye to eye, and will not be in the concealment of their true views.
“Preserving the current, the economic interests of the GDR and Czechoslovakia, and the political interests of Poland and Hungary is the most important task of the moment, and nothing else.”
Alan Wilson patiently explains that the main problem of the present moment is now to digest the meat that has eaten its way to independence, not to spit out the meat that has eaten its way into its stomach, and that the Soviet Union can force Britain to spit out the meat, just by virtue of the Soviet Army in Germany, as the Soviet Union did in Czechoslovakia after World War II.
Alan Wilson does not need to explain too much, I believe that Margaret Thatcher can also understand, back to the Cold War, seventy percent of Europe will also become the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence, Britain, France and Germany will have to put their tails between their legs again, which is how much damage to Britain’s national interests.
“Can’t we just try again.” Mrs. Thatcher was resigned, a delusion appeared in her mind that perhaps the level of the head of the map was the regular level of the Soviet leader.
“There is no France, go talk to the Soviets yourself and see?” Allen Wilson’s meaning is very clear, now talk are to pull France, this is your own can promote things?
Is Alan Wilson, thinking about whether it is for Mrs. Thatcher to arrange a convertible car when the Iron Lady finally terminated the boring delusion, from the old Bush ascended to the stage after she at least understood one thing, she personally can do things limited, but also other people to give face, Reagan gave her to play the space, Bush does not give her can not do anything.
Just because Maphead gave her that face doesn’t mean future Soviet leaders will, “What would you do if you were allowed to operate.”
“Numerous prime ministers before World War I have told me countless times what to do.” Alan Wilson asked rhetorically as he gave the Iron Maiden a sidelong intriguing glance, “You still want to trample the Soviet Union underfoot? Unless Britain now is the British Empire of a hundred years ago. While we make our plans, we have to wait to bring the political situation in the Soviet Union stabilized, what exactly is the requirement. If the pattern of the eighties must be restored, we can prepare for the Cold War all over again, if we acquiesce to the current pattern in Eastern Europe, we’ll all sit down and talk.”
“I would first notify the ambassador in Moscow to get the Soviet government to explain the talk of proliferation of nuclear weapons and try to get the Soviet government to make a commitment to non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.”
A country like the Soviet Union has to be part of the world order, the Soviet Union was one of the more shameless phases of the Russian nation ever yet, whether it was Imperial Russia or the Russian Federation, that was shameless.
Really want to be part of the world order from the world order, become a destroyer of the world order, then the next two decades of Europe’s future is not good, year after year is negative growth, properly the Soviet Union holding Europe together with the pattern of suicide.
This has been the end that the free world has been focused on avoiding since before August 19, and it is even more important to avoid it now because the free world has gotten a taste of the sweetness, but it can’t go to hell just because of a little bit of sweetness.
The slamming of the shelling of the White House is to be absolutely forbidden to be discussed in foreign public opinion, and as for the fate of the Lithuanian people, that is an internal affair of the USSR, so the foreign ministry is to be emphatic in its foreign discourse that the individual countries can decide their own destiny, just as Poland could decide its own destiny, so Poland changed color, and the Soviets could decide their own destiny, so Lithuania cannot be independent.
There may be some unconfirmed news circulating in the Soviet Union over the next few months, and the British press will have to exercise restraint and disbelieve rumors, etc.
Alexeyev, who had already been reunited with his wife and children, accepted the British ambassador’s request for a meeting, and expressed the idea that he could talk about the major issue of the change of the existing pattern, but Britain’s sincerity, analyzing it on the basis of previous experience was somewhat less reliable.
“If Britain can help the Soviet Union to carry out very sincere economic reforms, the existing pattern can be talked about, if the problem is approached from a hostile position. Not only could the Soviet Union squeeze NATO back into Western Europe, but it could make some bigger moves, our country has three or four hundred nuclear submarines, and if we started unrestricted submarine warfare it could be much more powerful than the Third Reich.”
“The Royal Navy, with its nine carrier battle groups, is also very powerful, and of course I personally agree that this hypothetical would be a lose-lose for both Britain and the Soviet Union.”
“Yes, and neither of us wants to get to that point.” Alikseyev frowned slightly, “But this isn’t just a European matter, there’s an American element to the European problem. Will the result of the Soviet Union taking a step back lead to bigger problems. The United States is not a European country, if the United States harbors the idea of messing up Europe, whether it’s Britain or France, can it serve as a check and balance.”
In the evening Allen Wilson received a report from the ambassador to the Soviet Union, Allen Wilson still has a high opinion of the good Dahl’s opinion, the United States across a Pacific Ocean can not be afraid to mess up Europe. This is proven in the future, so the security system in Europe, can not have the role of the United States.
As remembered in history, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States because of the strength of the country relative to the advantage of France, the United Kingdom is more early to throw the son to recognize the defeat of the United States to hold the thighs of the United States, Europe has become the United States of America’s power to expand the machine.
This also led to an increase in the number of U.S. scapegoats in Europe, and the value of Britain’s unity of purpose was greatly weakened.
Another factor is that after the past two years, a certain major power has realized who will actually take its life, that there are only a few Soviet Big Brother routines, that the free world’s life-threatening routines are really new and endless, and that the period when it was best to blockade the Soviet Union has passed.
In the future, no matter how much personal friendship Bush himself has, a major power won’t really push hard enough to kill Big Brother, let alone push hard enough to even think about it anymore.
Come to think of it, Alan Wilson really does think that the traditional British offshore balance is a good one, or at least no worse than the pattern in his head.
As for Moscow, preparations had already begun for a new meeting of the Supreme Soviet, this time to discuss the status of the Union Republics, but I had heard that a body called the Council of Advisors had appeared, which now seemed to have a large voice, and while others didn’t know much about it, Alan Wilson knew on hearing it that it was imported, copied from one of the major powers.
Foltseva is leading a group of old faces in a tandem, on the status of joining the republics to discuss the issue, the Russian antipathy to the Soviet Union, will not disappear because of a moment of cloudburst bombs, only now do not dare to speak out, put the antipathy in the heart, so the national problem still needs to be solved.
And the most important problem that needs to be solved is the Uzbek franchise republic, this franchise republic has a population of twenty million people, the Uzbeks occupy seventy-five percent of the population, there are fifteen million people, but also the Soviet Union’s main nationalities accounted for the lowest percentage of the franchise republic, there is another country with a similar proportion of the population is Azerbaijan.
The old timers also agree on one point, that it is indeed time for the Soviet Union to contract, the question is how. This is what the Soviet Union has to deal with.
