Chapter 1,607 The Agreement of the Century

Whether it is Star Wars or the Red Star War, it is not a plan that the UK can follow, and there will be no results in the next few years. The UK still has little participation.

Of course, if the United States is willing to bear all the costs, the United Kingdom can play the role of a cheerleader and help the United States inflate this bubble even bigger, but there is nothing else it can do.

From the perspective of a melon-eater, Alan Wilson still regrets the outcome of Star Wars. It is a pity that he did not see the outbreak of the Imperial War. It is a pity that the emperor of the world tempered the imperial soldiers. Battle space stations and space laser platforms, at least

It should make a show to satisfy the appetites of various countries.

Alan Wilson, who also saved a lot of money for Britain, was very high-spirited and felt that he had great merit and fame. With a cabinet secretary like him, how much unnecessary waste has the country saved?

For the Ministry of Defense, it is actually irrelevant that Britain's own Star Wars plan was rejected. This is a project that requires money, and it is normal to be rejected. It was sent to the Cabinet Office just to try it out of luck.

, what if it succeeds?

While Alan Wilson once again made contributions to the country, the journey of the Prime Minister's son to make a fortune was also extremely smooth. The Saudi side treated Mrs. Thatcher's son with great courtesy. After the fruitful foreign exchanges were over, Mark returned to London.

London expressed his gratitude to the Cabinet Secretary-General, who is like a father, saying, "It is such a sense of accomplishment to be able to work for the benefit of the country."

"I'm glad you think so, but Mark, the Prime Minister will know about this matter sooner or later. After all, Saudi Arabia values ​​the Prime Minister's leadership. This cannot be concealed for a long time. We should find a suitable opportunity to let the Prime Minister know about it.

The prime minister knows about this."

Alan Wilson continued to advise the Prime Minister's son, it was impossible to hide it and Mrs Thatcher would know sooner or later.

At least before formal negotiations, the Prime Minister really should know about this matter, otherwise if something happens in the future, the Prime Minister will need to wipe his son's ass.

After dumping Mark, who was like a biological son, to his mother, Alan Wilson began to prepare for formal negotiations. But at No. 10 Downing Street, it was a completely different scene. Mrs. Thatcher looked at her son sharply and scolded her loudly.

, "Is this something you can participate in? How dare you take advantage of it?"

"Mom, for a country like Saudi Arabia, my presence is part of ensuring the success of the transaction." Mark has been instilled with the rhetoric of how to defend, and he used it on his mother at this time.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to expect him to take out millions of pounds of legal income now. In his view, his mother is the Prime Minister, and he has to use it to cash out. Otherwise, what is the point of his mother being the Prime Minister?

Are you really here to serve the country?

"It's just nonsense." After all, he was his biological son. After reprimanding him, Mrs. Thatcher still thought about how to cover up her son's actions.

Unlike what public opinion considers to be an outstanding representative of women, Mrs. Thatcher's preference for sons over daughters is very obvious, and she treats her son Mark and daughter Carol very differently.

Alan Wilson knew very well that this prime minister would not sacrifice his son, and there would be no risk in Mark's confession.

"Just wait for the good news, dear." Ellen Wilson returned home and promised the richest woman in high spirits that the order of the century was already in her pocket. The biggest beneficiary was of course the production of Typhoon fighter jets and Tiger armed helicopters.

business.

In terms of product strength, the Typhoon will definitely crush the Mirage fighter. As for the United States, who makes people pay more attention to Israel's interests? You can't blame others.

At least compared to the United States, which always sides with Israel, Britain's role in the Middle East is still very reliable. Aren't the positive and negative roles all based on contrast?

This time the arms sales will be packaged into a package agreement, allowing British influence to return to Saudi Arabia. Once signed, Grenada's small loss will not be a problem.

In the following time, with the fierce fighting in the Middle East and the fierce confrontation between the world's fifth and the world's fourth, Britain and Saudi Arabia secretly repeatedly verified the details of various transactions and finalized the contents of the contract.

Alan Wilson was also deeply involved and threw out the bait to build the Saudi Air Force into a premier military force.

"That's great. I hope this order can create history." Pamela Mountbatten turned around and sat on her husband's lap. She couldn't get enough of her man. "Look at our Cabinet Secretary.

, always so trustworthy. How are the preparations for energy?"

"Of course we must be fully prepared." Ellen Wilson answered seriously. The richest woman was referring to the coal union calling for a long-term strike. This is also an open confrontation with the government. Of course, we must be prepared to respond.

Britain's most militant union no longer thinks about threatening the government with strikes.

The specific preparation was to store a large amount of coal: at that time, the total coal stockpile in the country was as high as 60 million tons, equivalent to half of the British annual coal production. Another example was the large-scale import of raw coal and fuel oil: during the strike, the government imported raw coal and fuel oil from Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Poland and other countries.

A large amount of fuel is imported.

Therefore, with sufficient resource storage and coal imports, the government has these things in its hands and can continue to fight against the striking unions for a long time.

The battle to invade Grenada naturally ended with a complete victory for the United States. The British artillery cruiser finally swayed and arrived at this tiny country that was hit hard by the city on the mountain. It began to demonstrate the influence of the British Empire.

It is expected that he will stay for a while and will not leave until Grenada holds a new election.

The consequences of the invasion of Grenada were still obvious. On the surface, Mrs. Thatcher still praised the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but Alan Wilson could see that the female prime minister was very vindictive.

"Fast forward to the Soviet Union, hold on, Britain will give you a loan, don't let Germany unify." Alan Wilson muttered in his heart, but this was a good opportunity to reshape Mrs. Thatcher's understanding of the United States.

The Cabinet Secretary has been going to No. 10 Downing Street more often, preparing to discuss issues in the diplomatic field on what aspects are appropriate to support the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and what aspects are treating the special relationship as nonsense.

A certain big country is of course also an important part of Britain's foreign relations. Alan Wilson even sacrificed a son. Charlotte is picking up rags over there in Asia. In fact, he is collecting antiques scattered among the people. Antiques are very important to ordinary countries.

It is worthless, but this is not the case for countries whose economy will take off in the future.

In fact, when China, Japan and South Korea were developing economically, they experienced the take-off of antiques. First, the country must be rich, and the rich must be really rich, so that antiques will rise. Otherwise, valuable antiques will be useless in Iraq.

In a country where the per capita income in 1990 was twice as high as in 2020, there would be no antique premium.

"The formal negotiation time with Saudi Arabia has been set. We will choose a third-party location to sign the contract. It is best not to be in London or Riyadh. This is fair to both parties." Alan Wilson was preparing to discuss the big deal of the century with the Prime Minister.

At that time, the phone suddenly rang.

"That's good. What does the Secretary-General think of Andropov? He seems to have not shown up for a while." Mrs. Thatcher mentioned the leader on the other side of the Iron Curtain. "I don't think he will live long. He is a

Old man, if the Soviet Union is led by such a person, there will definitely be problems."

"He is a very powerful person. After all, he is a security cadre. I don't know anything else about him." Alan Wilson smiled softly and did not comment on Andropov.

Andropov is indeed in poor health and lives in seclusion. Of course, this means that the Soviet Union is in trouble? The signs that the Soviet Union is really in trouble almost all appeared during the leader's term. This is exactly the opposite of Mrs. Thatcher's conclusion.

The old age of a leader is a sign that the country is not good enough, which means that he, the Sleeping King, is completely ignored. Reagan in this era is also an example. They always say that old people lead the country, and Reagan is one of them.

"By completing the arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the UK will be able to avoid any energy crisis, and it will also be able to better respond to strikes." Mrs. Thatcher talked about the arms sales that were about to be signed, which was unprecedented.

Once signed, the arms sales will shock the world.

Alan Wilson nodded. He was not afraid of the Saudi lion talking loudly. As long as Saudi Arabia dares to pay, whether it is quantity or quality, Britain will do its best to satisfy it.

After communication, just after the New Year, representatives from the UK and Saudi Arabia gathered in Bermuda to formally sign the arms sales that had lasted for more than a year in private. The UK sold a total of 108 Typhoon fighter jets, 72 Tornado fighter jets, and 5

Ten advanced trainer aircraft, 72 Tiger armed helicopters, and Saudi Arabia have opened a base for the British to perform logistical maintenance work.

Saudi Arabia's payment method is to pay 2 billion pounds in cash to the UK every year for ten years, and also pay the remaining part of the oil conversion contract. This part lasts for twenty years, and Saudi Arabia will deliver 600,000 barrels of oil to the UK every day.

, the total contract price is 45 billion pounds.

Alan Wilson's Typhoon fighter jets and Tiger helicopter gunships, both of which are still in the shadows in the United States, finally achieved the same contract numbers as history in Saudi Arabia.

This is not a loss. It is not easy to achieve such a large number when the exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar is 1:2.8.

The entire cabinet was rejoicing. This is a huge arms sales contract that has never been seen in the world, and its economic contribution to the UK is huge.

Now that the arms sales have been reached, of course it cannot be hidden. The electoral country cannot have achievements without publicity. Although the specific contract figures must be kept secret, Mrs. Thatcher took credit for this contract.
