Chapter 1775 Berlin Conference
The so-called fourth re-election, it is, singularly and purely, a pie. Perhaps the matter was negotiated in such a way as to raise the support of the Conservative Party, but the probability of continuing in power on that basis was such that it could only be said that anything could happen in the world, and that it could not be ruled out.
At this moment, there is a need for a person to take on the opportunity to negotiate with France, in order to insure that Alan Wilson decided to use two candidates who have never been used, Ingrid Bergman’s two daughters, Isabella and Ishtar, two divas of the French singing world, popular throughout the Latin-speaking countries.
About to conceal from the United States, Britain and France to clutch the entire Cold War dividend this matter, anyone is not credible, even the most trusted subordinates can not, and the matter is important, although Alan Wilson knows who the British Atlantic faction are, but I am afraid of a leak.
And Isabella and Ishtar two sisters, the French high level is aware of, once upon a time the French also talked to Allen Wilson about this matter, Allen Wilson is France’s own people, which is always right.
Learned that the imminent body and heavy responsibility, Ishtar some hesitation, Isabella is eager to try, the two characters are not quite the same, Isabella obviously more enjoy in the spotlight and the center of the stage.
“What are you afraid of? A face-to-face conversation with the President of France, what a rare opportunity.” Isabella was much more cheerful than Ishtar, not only did she not show panic, but she was very interested.
The bottom line of Britain’s negotiations was that Britain and France adopted a common attitude to divide Eastern Europe, and Britain’s bottom line was to get the GDR and Poland, and apart from these two countries, from Czechoslovakia southward, including Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia were all French.
On the surface, the French took advantage of a great deal, the distribution of these countries, although the United Kingdom looked at the loss, but it is generous, Eastern European countries are not all changed color, Romania’s Ceausescu is still alive, the French can handle Romania?
Bulgaria is the most loyal follower of the Soviet Union, also not easy to deal with, Yugoslavia? Yugoslavia? Everyone knows that.
So it seems that France has taken advantage of the advantage of a large, Britain only got the GDR and Poland, but in fact, not much of a loss, and then again, the core of the trade system in Eastern Europe is the Soviet Union, not any of these Warsaw Pact countries, so the Soviet Union is the decision to determine the Cold War dividends of the big head.
Simply put, Allen Wilson prepared a yin and yang contract, ostensibly for the sake of solidarity with France, Britain and France will be in accordance with the above conditions on the division of Eastern Europe, so as to cover each other without interfering with each other.
In fact, the part that France got, only Czechoslovakia and Hungary is good to deal with, as for Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria, is not good to pull together.
France’s role in leading Europe also ends here, the other side of the yin and yang contract is the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union things, the United Kingdom must be for the British pound to get the Warsaw Pact economic system of trade settlement currency position.
Isabella shoulders the heavy responsibility of the future leadership of Europe, decided to meet with Mitterrand, Mitterrand was reluctant to take the time to match the entertainment industry, but after the intelligence department reminded, as a representative of the outstanding women of France, to meet the president how? The president is a servant of the people.
About the Soviet Union to ease, open up the Eastern European trade in external investment, Mitterrand expressed approval, and the division of the United Kingdom on the Eastern European countries, the British banking industry and the French banking industry to jointly maintain the European financial stability of the idea, Mitterrand said he recognized, about the British and French is the core of Europe’s leadership of the positioning of the country, Mitterrand said that the British and French hundred years of friendship, that is, from the First World War onwards with the blood of the friendship of the condensation.
On the recognition of the Soviet Union’s unwillingness to return to the Cold War, Mitterrand said if pushed according to this plan, this is a wonderful era of the Triple Entente.
“It’s a little more appropriate to communicate from within the framework of the EEC.” Mitterrand gave his opinion that Britain and France could conceal their economic and trade relations around the GDR and the EEC, not through the OSCE, of which the United States is also a member.
The French have long been tired of the United States in Europe, and now since the Cold War is over, the whole of Europe no longer has the risk of war, the United States do not want to continue to be the emperor.
Isabella throughout France after the popular days, then began to communicate in London and Paris among the powers that be, as for the communication between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union do not bother to ask, Allen Wilson and the Soviet Union’s KGB chairman has a private phone can be contacted.
“You do not have reverse psychology, disarmament will be the next inevitable choice of the Soviet Union, Moscow can choose to continue the Cold War, but with the current comparison, the next time the Soviet Union still lose. The Soviet Union was able to find a country among its own camp that was not even comparable to Spain.”
Alan Wilson explained bitterly, “And the countries in Western Europe that are stronger than Spain also have Britain, France, Germany and Italy, how do you fight against it, when I I retire, the Soviet Union in wanting to find a decent exit, rest time will be difficult.”
“You let the Soviet Union hand over 20,000 tanks, 30,000 armored vehicles, this is not to treat the Soviet Union as a defeated country?” Alexeyev couldn’t figure it out and muttered.
“If I don’t let you hand them over, these iron lumps will end up decommissioned and sealed. I am taking money to buy, I can not a take tens of billions of dollars to wait for the Soviet Union to recover, in the use of these tanks to suppress Western Europe. What is the difference between me and Zhang …… Churchill.”
Alan Wilson grunted, “I’m just letting the Soviet armament reduce its tonnage a bit, I didn’t ask for the most advanced part of the Soviet Union. The part of the Red Navy, but also just want some advanced models of nuclear submarines, most of the nuclear submarines are not still before the seventies service? How am I going to operate the next peace system if you don’t give in?”
What’s the point of Britain wanting these tanks? Actually, of course they were useful, for example, they could be bought and then resold to Egypt, although this might cause protests from Israel, which after all certainly didn’t want them.
“The Soviet Union has claims worth two hundred and fifty billion, which converted to pounds is roughly one hundred billion, does Britain want to take them over?” Alexeyev suddenly opened his mouth to inquire.
“You want Britain to help the Soviet Union with its debts?” Allen Wilson instantly clarified the good Dahl’s purpose, “Still counting on your father at this time, aren’t you? This is all bad to ask for debt, Britain can force Cuba to pay the debt? In this way, if it is the debt of African countries, Britain can think of a way, perhaps the French are also very willing to take over. But a good price you are not to think about, can offset the Soviet Union set up to renege on the debt of the Allied Powers, are considered Britain and France, the two old imperialist countries in the mouth of the Soviet Union have a conscience.”
I might as well not mention this, Alexeyev muttered in his mind, but he also knows the Soviet Union in the sixties to the present day of the wrongdoing, if it can be leveled off the debt of the First World War, it is not too much of a disadvantage, but also to the domestic grievances have an account, “Where are the negotiations?”
“Berlin, the capital of Germany, to talk within the framework of the European Community.” Allen Wilson felt that the good Dahl had figured it out, so he did not continue to rub salt from the wound.
Hanging up the phone, Alan Wilson then reported to Mrs. Thatcher about the division of Eastern Europe and the progress of the Soviet Union security calls, Mrs. Thatcher was very happy, “It seems that this time we have not been humiliated by the percentage agreement.”
“Europe is safe, if this negotiation is successful, Britain is the undoubted leader of Europe, just afraid that the United States may not be in the trust of Britain in the future.” Alan Wilson knew what Margaret Thatcher’s percentage agreement was.
Before the end of World War II, Churchill wanted to know how big Stalin’s appetite was to leave Britain with traditional influence.
At that time Stalin gave Churchill a piece of paper, the division of South East Europe was one-nine, Britain could only get security guarantees for Greece, Stalin still gave a little face, it wasn’t like Rockefeller, ninety percent wasn’t enough, I want one hundred percent, but obviously Britain was at an extreme disadvantage.
But this time is completely different, the United Kingdom will get back in the Second World War lost everything, in the confirmation of the basis for negotiation, France began to put out the wind, to open the negotiations on economic and trade relations between the European Community and the GDR, as a test of the wind vane.
And here in Whitehall Allen Wilson was on standby, he didn’t know how the Suez Canal War, which was historically a joint Anglo-French effort, had been hidden from the Americans. But this time he was on his mind with no less energy than that battle which was the curtain-raiser for the British Empire in another world.
To this end, all sorts of true and false information was also released, for example, the core of this meeting, the French in order to formalize the two German presence in Europe attempt to establish, according to unidentified government sources leaks, the probability that the United Kingdom will also be on the side of the French, and so on the next day, Mrs. Thatcher logically said that she would also attend this meeting.
The attempt to go after the Federal Republic of Germany was obvious, and the Bonn government immediately said that Washington should interfere with the moves of two dubious allies, which greatly hurt the feelings of the Federal Republic of Germany.
British public opinion, on the other hand, countered that the relationship between the two Germanys was nothing more than the feelings of distant relatives, and used the examples of India and Pakistan to persuade the Bonn government that the FRG should learn to coexist with the GDR.
Alan Wilson was even pulling hate in his capacity as secretary general of the cabinet, “The Bonn government should not think of unification that kind of delusion, the possibility of a merger between the UK and the GDR are both a bit more likely than a re-unification of Germany, and if the citizens of the GDR don’t mind recognizing the Queen’s status, I’d be willing to talk to the Socialist Party for a Unified Germany.”
At the end of October, French President Mitterrand and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, with what could be called a luxury lineup of financial teams and entrepreneurs, arrived in Berlin, the capital of the GDR.
And Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze snuck in instead of Maphead, who was now a symbol of the Kremlin and, to put it bluntly, could not leave Moscow.
