Under the bipolar pattern, many ridiculous things will happen, such as people trained in the United States establishing a pro-Soviet country.
Sudanese leader Nimeiri is such an example. This is not just an isolated case. There are several similar examples in Africa.
However, Sudan's pro-Soviet status is questionable. In the eyes of different countries, socialism has different standards. The Soviet Union recognized the nature of Sudan, but a certain major country did not.
But who would take the standards of a certain major country seriously? Of course the free world also recognizes the standards of the Soviet Union, and naturally regards Sudan as someone who should be dealt with.
At this point, Alan Wilson has also attracted quite good forces to support the British strategy towards the Horn of Africa. He believes in the religion of peace and has won over Arab countries. For example, Ethiopia's religion is not so obvious, so he personally went into battle and exerted pressure to subvert.
"If the changes in Africa become a reality, it will greatly enhance our confidence in facing the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson vowed, and his anti-Soviet brand was quite stable.
No one would assert that Eastern Europe would fall apart in just a few years. Whether at home or during this visit to the United States, Alan Wilson had already understood that. Even Reagan felt that the British plan was risky.
Mrs. Thatcher who listened to the results report was also very satisfied. Although the Iron Lady was not tough enough, but now that she had taken action, her iron-headed nature still prevailed. What's more, even the United States supported Britain's African strategy.
This strategy is considered to be a good way to squeeze the strategic space of the Soviet Union. What else can be said?
"We have enough time to look forward to achieving our goals before the nuclear negotiations in the second half of the year."
Alan Wilson also gave the Iron Lady confidence. This kind of thing is very simple. Britain is also a veteran imperialist. If it is a colony, it may have to think more. For an independent country like this, Britain is not afraid of backlash at itself.
This is a fact that is not very friendly to most countries in the world. The independence of the colonies has solved a lot of troubles for the UK. Now that similar subversion is being carried out, the UK will not be responsible.
Take this time's sanctions as an example. This is something recognized by the United Nations. Even if Ethiopia's difficulties arise, the five permanent members are all responsible. The responsibility is not the United Kingdom's own.
Facts have proved that the effect was very good. Even the Soviet Union did not object. This shows what kind of leader Tutou is. Mrs. Thatcher still spoke tough, and even the wording of the Soviet Union's protest was full of regrets.
After talking about what the British were promoting, Alan Wilson took out the application for the Mir space station and expressed his hope to use the Soviet space station to conduct scientific research. This was an application submitted by the Royal Interstellar Society. After the moon landing, the space station became
The focus of the space war between the United States and the Soviet Union.
At present, the Soviet Union still has the upper hand. Whether you admit it or not, it is true. The Mir space station is the first space station that can operate for a long time, which is of great significance.
"Can't we not rely on the Soviet Union?" Mrs. Thatcher suddenly became unhappy. She asked who to ask, but she asked the Soviet Union, "We can study together with the United States. The United States has more sophisticated technology."
"Ten years later? The efficiency of the United States has always been a problem." Alan Wilson flatly refused. He really had no confidence in the efficiency of the United States, even if the Star Wars project was announced to the sky.
In his memory, the Mir space station has been the only space station that can be used by humans for a long time. Waiting for the United States to launch its own space station? It will be a long wait. Anything can distinguish whether it is capitalism or not, but science should not do this
Better.
Alan Wilson is very good at persuasion, and he immediately came up with a rhetoric, "Many people believe that the Mir space station is not true and is actually a component of a combat space station. In fact, the Royal Interstellar Society also has similar doubts.
After all, the hostility between the two countries is still very strong. We must find out whether the Peace on Mir is worthy of its name. This requires professionals to see with their own eyes what it is like inside the Mir space station. Only in this way can this distrust be dispelled."
"So at the meeting, we discussed the idea of applying to the Soviet Union for access to the space station." Alan Wilson sternly advocated the Soviet threat theory. Although the map has been softened on the surface, who knows whether there is a desire to maintain peace within the Soviet Union.
"Space City 007, right?" Mrs. Thatcher laughed out loud and mentioned a famous British movie series a few years ago. "Well, I don't think the Soviet Union will agree. You can ask.
."
Turning around, a phone call came to No. 10 Downing Street. Alan Wilson happily reported to the Prime Minister that the Soviets agreed and were willing to engage in extensive international cooperation on the establishment of the space station.
In fact, as long as he doesn't talk about the unemployed population with Mrs. Thatcher, it's not that the Prime Minister can't communicate. It's just that he can't talk about this issue. If he talks about it, it would be a slap in the Prime Minister's face.
The British trade union movement was mainly derived from the unemployment problem. During the term of her predecessor Labor Callaghan government, the number of unemployed people in the UK reached one million. Accordingly, Mrs. Thatcher often mocked Callaghan before she came to power.
The Prime Minister is an "unemployed Prime Minister".
Once upon a time, during her years in power, the unemployment rate not only showed no improvement, but continued to rise.
It can be said that in any year of Mrs. Thatcher’s term, the unemployment figure exceeded that of Callaghan’s period. The Iron Lady made fun of herself again, claiming that Britain’s first problem was to solve the inflation problem, and believed that the inflation should be brought down at the beginning.
It does mean increasing unemployment, but there is no choice. Under such circumstances, the Thatcher government is in no hurry to solve this long-standing problem.
Nowadays, anyone who dares to talk about the unemployment issue is disloyal to Mrs. Thatcher. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Alan Wilson, the unemployed population has been reduced by nearly 30% from the historical three million. But if you want to reduce it to
Below one million, this cannot be achieved in a short time.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alan Wilson still has to support the Prime Minister, because the Prime Minister's policy is very clear, to reduce the burden on capitalists as much as possible, keep their funds in the UK, and obey their orders
Free and unrestricted development, such a policy certainly deserves full support. As for the unemployed? Anyway, the Cabinet Secretary himself is not unemployed.
All this was still not enough. Mrs. Thatcher held another cabinet meeting to discuss the tax reduction policy for her second term. Both inheritance tax and personal income tax would be reduced again.
While the UK is planning to cut taxes again, the Mengistu regime, which has been severely sanctioned, is asking for help from the Soviet Union. For countries that are not large enough, the effect of comprehensive sanctions is always immediate. After all, the whole country
The world is such a big place, and the smaller the country, the easier it is to be replaced. Ethiopia, which was sanctioned on import and export, was already experiencing difficulties a month later.
In fact, there are no difficulties in most places. After all, as long as you lie flat enough, the sky will not fall. Places that are backward enough can even be immune to sanctions. However, problems soon arise in big cities. Mengistu can ignore the vast majority of people.
rural areas, but instability in big cities will lead to political instability.
When faced with this predicament, Mengistu of course thought of Big Brother's assistance. No matter what happened to Tutou, the pro-Soviet regime had now reached a critical moment, and it could not ignore the situation.
The Soviet Union responded, expressing sympathy for the situation of the Mengistu regime and hoping to tide over the difficulties. However, the best solution now is to tighten their belts, which is essentially to do nothing to save them.
With a member of our side like Yakovlev, there is no secret about this kind of thing. The free world soon knew the details. For a time, Yakovlev's united front value increased steadily.
Alan Wilson felt that such a person should be treated kindly. As long as it was not a big deal, he would never betray this traitor who could be ranked alongside Peter III in the history of the Soviet Union and even Russia.
In fact, the bottom line of abandoning Ethiopia was known to Alan Wilson, and naturally it was also known to the United States. Although the United States later joined the African strategy, it was extremely concerned about it. After all, the biggest victory during Reagan's term was about to occur.
Now, in terms of the intensity of sanctions, the United States has replaced the United Kingdom in asking European countries and nearby developing countries to jointly contribute.
As for Alan Wilson, he doesn't mind if the United States contributes, because the arrangements in Kenya and South Sudan have been in place for many years, and no matter how much the United States exerts, it cannot drive the United Kingdom away.
The reason why he shared his African strategy with the United States was that he paid more attention to penetrating the Balkans. His main target was Yugoslavia, and he relied on the help of his in-law Grace.
Europe is important. If the United States invests huge energy in Africa, it can also provide a cover for Yugoslavia's infiltration.
Just when countries thought that the Horn of Africa would become the next point of contention, many patriotic South Africans who had already made a fortune began their journey back to their hometowns, Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Of course, they could not leave behind the independence of Yugoslavia.
Outside of Albania, Hoxha also died of illness like Tito.
The Balkan political strongman passed away due to illness. Naturally, he could not miss the opportunity. When the new thinking in Moscow became more and more fierce, Alan Wilson had to work harder.
I believe that Reagan, who was already attracted by this, did not believe that Alan Wilson's strategy of Africanization involving three countries and nearly four million square kilometers was just a big pie.
Then it began to concentrate all its efforts on promoting penetration into the Balkans. Who gave Britain such a card as Rhodesia? As for the Horn of Africa strategy, it can be used to highlight the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
Like the Soviet Union, some club-like things began to appear in Yugoslavia and Albania, and they took root in Yugoslavia's special enterprise groups according to local conditions. Alan Wilson is very optimistic about the national environment of a bunch of state-owned enterprises like Yugoslavia.
