"What is Mitterrand's attitude?" After the Brussels Conference, Alan Wilson went directly to West Berlin, while Mrs. Thatcher went to Paris to meet with French President Mitterrand to discuss whether Britain had discovered it, or that France had also discovered it.
But there is no vocal tendency towards German reunification.
Once Germany is unified, and the GDR has a population of 20 million, the consequences of the Plaza Accord can be easily resolved, and it can also add 20 million more well-educated labor force.
Because there is a gap in living standards between the two Germanys, the Bonn government can also use this to reduce current labor costs in Germany.
As for the annexation process, those dirty tricks, such as degrading the GDR's industries to nothing and making acquisitions at cabbage prices, are innocuous compared to the above, and Alan Wilson does not need to do anything about it.
Mrs. Wolf imagined that the UK had never carried out privatization, so it would be enough to lower the fairness index ten to a hundred times. Anyway, the GDR was a defeated country, and there would be no latecomers to avenge it.
In shaping correct memories, sooner or later those who experienced the GDR will forget it and will not question whether it was fair to be annexed in the first place.
The reason why Alan Wilson is remembered is because he was born in a country that slipped through the cracks and escaped the contempt of the free world.
"Just as you predicted, we have rediscovered a consensus on the issue of German reunification." Mrs. Thatcher, the banner of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, was criticized by Bush Senior at the Brussels Conference for saying that Germany is Europe's leading partner.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she knew that the special relationship between Britain and the United States could no longer be managed.
The Iron Lady may not have wanted to in her heart, but she ended up living a life she hated. Like the Labor Party and the European wing of the Conservative Party, she admitted the fact that she was unwilling to admit before, that the United Kingdom is in fact a European country.
Alan Wilson did not expose the frustration of being traitorous. The United States definitely hopes to have a special relationship with the United Kingdom. If the British influence is limited to the British Isles, the United States will definitely not do anything to the United States in the short term, but it may not do so in the long term.
.
Obviously, this offer is far from what Mrs. Thatcher had in mind. Britain wanted to give up its interests in Rhodesia, Newfoundland, Malaya, and even the Middle East and the South Pacific. Mrs. Thatcher could accept this offer.
So after ten years in power, the Iron Lady was finally awakened from her illusions about a special relationship by George H.W. Bush.
A good horse never turns back, but a female prime minister can. And just two hours after the Brussels meeting, Mrs. Thatcher, under the guidance of the Cabinet Secretary-General, found a common language with France, that is, how to contain German reunification.
As mentioned in that conversation, Mitterrand was very interested, and Mrs. Thatcher found a consensus between Britain and France instantly during her visit to Paris.
Mrs. Thatcher changed the decadent atmosphere in the special relationship between Britain and the United States and completed a magnificent turn in leading Europe. She also conveyed Mitterrand's attitude like Alan Wilson, "We talked openly and honestly. Mitterrand also had doubts. We
Assuming the reunification of Germany, I have made my attitude clear."
Then Mrs. Thatcher recounted Mitterrand's statement: "France and Germany are friends and allies. However, what is happening now is making us prepare for a new alliance between France, Britain and the Soviet Union to deal with Germany, just like in 1913
Year like that. You will have 90 million people, but the Soviet Union will turn on us and you will be surrounded."
"It's too optimistic. The Soviet Union has that stupid map leader who probably can't help. You have to know that Russia is rich in admirers of Germany. It's not like Peter III has never appeared before."
Alan Wilson heard about the role of the Soviet Union again, looked at Mrs. Thatcher and asked, "Do you think Map Head is smarter than Peter III?"
Modern German unification originated from Prussia. Without Prussia, there would be no unification of Germany. Prussia would not truly join the ranks of European powers until the period of Frederick the Great, the son of Frederick William I. Frederick the Great was a figure like the founding father of Prussia.
Under Frederick the Great Prussia joined the ranks of the great powers of Europe.
The Seven Years' War was extremely important in the history of Prussia. France, Austria and Russia formed an alliance. Britain supported Prussia on land and mainly seized French colonies overseas.
New France in North America and French India in Asia were all captured by the British in this battle. Prussia on land was in danger.
Prussia defeated the Austrian army several times in local wars but had no choice but to make too many enemies. The Franco-Austrian coalition entered Magdeburg in the west. Austria regained Silesia and headed for the Prussian capital Berlin. The Russian-Austrian coalition occupied East Prussia and headed for Pomerania.
To advance, Sweden sent troops from the north into Pomerania and headed towards Berlin.
At this time, Queen Elizabeth I of Russia passed away, and Peter III, Frederick the Great's biggest fan, succeeded to the throne. Peter III, the father of Germany, saved Prussia from the brink of destruction, and the prototype of modern Germany came into being. However, this was close to betraying the Russian Empire.
Behavior for profit will definitely lead to a bad death.
Faced with the rhetorical question from the Cabinet Secretary, Mrs. Thatcher, who had never thought she was wrong, rarely hesitated. Her self-confidence had already been severely damaged by Bush Sr. Persisting to the end would only result in embarrassment, but she did not dare to do so now.
It is easier to say that Tutou is more talented than Peter III.
"Containing the unification of Germany will definitely require the joint efforts of the three countries, but the main work must be between us and the French. But having said that, we can use the example of Peter III letting Prussia go and spread it within the Soviet Union. In theory, of course, it is the Soviet Union that is most likely to do this.
Well, we can avoid being resented by the Germans or we should avoid it. But I still don’t believe in Map Head.”
Alan Wilson said, "Maybe he was so stupid that he forgot how Peter III died."
Peter III was killed by his wife, Catherine the Great, through a palace coup. The wife of the map leader was not named Catherine, but there was a lady with the same status as his wife in the supreme authority. Her name was Furtseva.
Name: Ekaterina Alexeyevna Fortseva.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Called the cultural tsar by a major country during the period of hostilities with the Soviet Union, Alexeyev was indeed preparing to use his arm as a chariot.
For this reason, Alan Wilson decided not to spread the conspiracy theory comparing Peter III with the head of the map. What if he was superstitious? Then he would trouble Fortseva.
Preparations must be made, and Alan Wilson suggested that the British troops in West Berlin be replaced by reliable troops, and the commander replaced by a reliable commander who was approaching retirement.
"Why?" Mrs. Thatcher was a little confused. Didn't she just say that it would be best for the Soviet Union to be the villain?
"We don't want to be evil, but we must be prepared to be evil. Once Berlin becomes unstable, Erich Honecker may request foreign military intervention."
Alan Wilson replied, "I mentioned this idea when I was talking to Erich Honecker. Of course, I don't want this to happen, but preparations must be done, just like when I
Just like the military plans for the Falklands War were drawn up in the 1950s."
Then Alan Wilson expressed his admiration for Mitterrand, "If the Triple Entente can reappear, it will be a good thing for maintaining peace in Europe. Of course, Eastern Europe still needs to be liberalized. If the Soviet Union releases its interests in Europe, even if it is free competition, in the future
If we stop being aggressive, we can look forward to peace in Europe in the future. If the Economic Cooperation Council uses pounds sterling for trade, then the Soviet Union will be a close ally of Britain."
Do you really dare to think that? Mrs. Thatcher whispered in her heart that the trade system of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is not as powerful as the United States and Western Europe on both sides of the Atlantic, but it can be regarded as the second industry in the world after Europe and the United States.
Group, if all settlements are made in pounds sterling, that will be the moment when pounds sterling returns to the world currency.
"If it really happens, Britain will of course be a close ally of the Soviet Union." Mrs. Thatcher replied absently, and she would not delay the Cabinet Secretary's dream.
"Get ready for Erich Honecker's visit. I'll ask Pamela's friends what industries in the GDR they are interested in. Reform is really a good thing, especially privatization reform." Alan Wilson intervened.
He was about to say goodbye. This year was so busy and his time was very tight.
A few days later, six former leaders of the Romanian Communist Party in Romania issued an open letter criticizing Ceausescu's policies and calling on him to reform Romania. Ceausescu responded by not responding.
Alan Wilson took this matter very seriously and tried every means to contact Hao Daer and asked the Soviet Union if they had any plans to kill this leader who did not obey the authority of Moscow.
Anyway, Alan Wilson has already communicated with the United States, and there is currently no relevant plan in the free world. Three days later, Alexeyev said that he had found no information about what to do with Ceausescu.
Except for Romania, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia are relatively peaceful. The original invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 turned into Poland in this world.
This led to Czechoslovakia being dissatisfied on the one hand, and economic loosening always existed on the other. In other words, the reformists had always existed, but they were working quietly.
As for Bulgaria, its presence in the Warsaw Pact camp is not high. Bulgaria’s role in the Warsaw Pact is equivalent to: I will do whatever the Soviet Union tells me to do. Moscow will not force it, it can be negotiated and negotiated
, so Bulgaria is relatively calm at the moment.
After thinking about it, the most dangerous one is still Poland. Although the losses are all blamed on the Solidarity Union, Poland's foreign debt still needs to be repaid. This is not a problem that Jaruzelski can solve.
Alan Wilson wondered whether he should continue to defend the special relationship between Britain and the United States on such innocuous issues, such as no waves, and use debt maturities to put pressure on Poland.
Arnold returned from Singapore, and Alan Wilson decided to wait a few more days. Poor countries like Poland should be ranked lower in the ranking, and they were not as important as a close ally with a piece of cloth on their head.
