British Civil Servants Chapter 1,708 Cutting Off Oil and Gas Pipelines
The specific issue is naturally the issue of German reunification. On this issue, Britain and France have a very consistent view, that is, the division of Germany guarantees peace in Europe. On the matter of reunification, let alone doing it, we cannot even think about it.
, before the military exercise was even revealed, London and Paris couldn't wait to publicize it. This was obviously meant for the Germans.
"If the Germans are allowed to take control of the situation, they will dominate Eastern Europe. This is unacceptable. Other countries should unite to prevent this situation from happening."
During her visit to Rome, Mrs. Thatcher made such a statement. Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti believed that the matter was not that serious. The Soviet tank army in the Democratic Republic of Germany was not a vegetarian. It surrounded Germany.
The diplomatic war for reunification was naturally widely publicized in the GDR by Arnold, the spokesman for the transparent government in Berlin.
Mrs. Thatcher was willing to go all out on the issue of German reunification and no longer maintained a superficial affectionate relationship with Cole. Naturally, the cornerstone of the British Empire would fully cooperate. The true attitudes of Britain, France, and Italy were also spread among the GDR.
What is true imperialism? This is it.
Citizens of the GDR may not like these true remarks. After all, the free world in their eyes is not like this. Arnold told them that this is the real free world. How can it be fair? "The largest number of British nuclear weapons are deployed in Germany."
Its role was to detonate it in Germany, not to stop the Soviet Union."
Middleton relayed these words in the Cabinet Secretary's Office. Alan Wilson said slightly embarrassed, "You see, although this is a fact, it is not good to say it. However, we protect freedom of speech. As an individual, this is not
This is the official British attitude. The Germans will understand."
[In other words, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading.
Regardless of whether the Germans understand it or not, Alan Wilson has understood it for the Germans anyway. Middleton nodded and said, "But the United States still hopes that we will say less about this matter."
"The American attitude works on many things, but not on this matter. Middleton, do you still remember the Cod War? The United States almost regarded Iceland as its ancestor. Fortunately, I had a better move and used the Newfoundland Church
What does Icelanders mean by respect?”
Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "We have the same attitude as France and should be taken more seriously than the Germans' delusions."
The economies of Britain and France combined are half that of the United States, and Britain and France each have a population of 60 million. When compared with the army, navy and air force, it is not a problem to regard them as half of the United States.
In fact, the combined military strength of the two countries is far more than half of that of the United States, and each has its own focus. After all, in the 1960s and 1970s, Britain and France really cooperated around joint operations under his initiative.
With such a foundation, it is natural that the voices of the two countries are worthy of attention. Mrs. Thatcher will find that if she really leaves the United States and negotiates with France, she can still live her life.
No matter how much emphasis is placed on the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the bulk of Britain's economy and trade is still in the European continent and the Commonwealth. There is no need to rush to embrace the lap of the United States like later generations.
Because he himself has been declared persona non grata by the Federal Republic of Germany, he wanted to discuss something. He couldn't explain it on the phone. Albert could only come back once. Of course, the eldest son came back mainly to visit his son, this Kiwan.
The baby who is loved by thousands of people is named Aiden.
Albert accompanied his father, the cabinet secretary, for a walk at Hoxon Manor, and talked about the small incident in which the British troops stationed in Germany seemed to have been looked down upon by the Germans stationed there. Alan Wilson didn't care at all, "There is a kind of disrespect for our troops."
The garrison fired. Even the people in the Federal Republic of Germany who were scared to death did not have the guts. One part of this exercise, especially on the sea side, was the idea of blowing up the Baltic Sea oil and gas pipeline. This might allow the Germans to
Please clear your mind."
"It's not like there aren't some garrison officers who think it seems too harsh on the Germans." Albert hesitated, "But I am criticizing and educating such remarks."
"It is true that such a mentality may appear after being in one place for a long time." Alan Wilson nodded, "But this can all be corrected, and it shouldn't be a big problem. However, such officers and soldiers will obviously become distraught after their service is over."
It is no longer suitable to stay in the army, and I have no choice but to retire."
He remembered that during World War II, some Japanese overseas Chinese in the Northeast also felt alienated from the mainland. Within a few years, there was already a trend of differentiation, and they did not recognize the emperor very much.
The Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany have been separated for decades. There must be people like this who no longer have any feelings about reunification. There is a famous cartoon that tells the story of the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany from "We are a family" to "That is us"
The mentality of a distant relative.
What Britain needs is the mentality of distant relatives, not the mentality of a family. I hope that the Germans who want reunification will live without conscience in the future.
Coincidentally, yesterday a German reporter asked the British Foreign Office spokesperson about his conscience. The British diplomat's answer was, "I will not show my so-called conscience everywhere."
Regarding the issue of German reunification in the past six months, the UK has shown outright hostility. German Chancellor Kohl is right, it is his allies, not the Soviet Union, who do not want German reunification, but so what? Just like this time
Just like the joint military exercises, no matter what the Germans think, this is what they will do.
The Germans may not even understand why their own unification is related to the life and death of the British. Sofia, a Serbian, cannot understand this kind of psychology. She does not understand why the British are so tough and dependent on the Germans.
What is it again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The United Kingdom is not the strongest country in the world today. The United States and the Soviet Union are both stronger than the United Kingdom. But the difference between the United Kingdom and these two countries is that the United Kingdom is
When it’s time to take action, we won’t back down.”
Albert explained with a wry smile, "In the past three hundred years, the opponents that Britain has defeated are far more powerful than the opponents of the United States and the Soviet Union in the past fifty years. This time, my father fully supports the Prime Minister's idea of preventing the reunification of Germany. That is definitely
seriously."
Take the maritime military exercise, for example, in which the Baltic Sea oil and gas pipeline was attacked. This was an obvious threat to the Federal Republic of Germany. In North Sea oil and gas, the United Kingdom and the Mountbatten Oil and Gas Group had a great say in delimiting the North Sea at that time.
Regarding the issue, Norway and surrounding countries are committed to the UK.
It is now known that the Baltic oil and gas pipeline and the North Sea pipeline are the main arteries of Federal Germany's energy, and the United Kingdom may cut them off. Isn't this a threat? What is this?
"I don't believe that Kohl really has such willpower." At the cabinet meeting, Alan Wilson assessed Germany's industrial structure and said, "Germany has no ability to be self-sufficient in energy. It's just the beginning of the year. I think we can
Let the Germans pay attention to this."
Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe was preparing to embark on a trip to Northern Europe, and Alan Wilson volunteered. "As a politician, the Foreign Secretary will have to deal with the Germans in the future. As a civil servant, I am the one who should deal with matters involving reputation."
Better."
He did not take the initiative to do anything for the career of the Foreign Secretary. The reason was that Greta Garbo was ill and he had to go and see her. As for colluding with Norway to cut off Germany's energy pipeline, it was just a matter of course.
In the eyes of others, the Cabinet Secretary-General is on the front line, but he knows in his heart that this is not the case. Since Norway's role is particularly important, it is logical for the Nordic leader Sweden to play a role. One day later, he has appeared in
The hospital where Jiabao is located naturally has professional diplomats to deal with minor energy issues.
"Don't pay any attention to it, it depends on your age." Sitting next to the hospital bed, Alan Wilson held Garbo's hand and murmured, with anxiety and hesitation on his face. He remembered that Garbo left this year, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Afraid, the whole person becomes bad.
"Didn't you say that I have a strong body like an athlete?" Greta Garbo blinked and replied, "Actually, it's not such a big problem. The weather in Northern Europe is like this. Every winter, a group of people are taken away. But I have
With such good medical conditions, I believe we can overcome this difficulty."
"Of course that's the best." Alan Wilson said in his heart that taking other people away has nothing to do with him, but he can't take away the Queen of Silent Movies. He still has feelings. "Where is Gustave? Why doesn't he come back and look at you?
Why is this child like this? What's the use of him?"
"Okay, I came here yesterday." Greta Garbo stopped the incompetent rage of the man in front of her, "At this age, even if you really go to see God, it is acceptable."
News that Alan Wilson was hospitalized in the Swedish capital because he was too old and overworked during the trip has returned to Whitehall, where Middleton is currently in charge.
Although the supreme authority is temporarily unable to preside over the work of Whitehall, previous plans are still being implemented in an orderly manner.
The communication with Norway has achieved good results due to the efforts of professional diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The original delimitation treaty included a clause that the interests of North Sea oil and gas should not run counter to the interests of the United Kingdom. Of course, there was more than this.
It comes in handy now.
This time Britain came to ask Norway to cooperate. The British fleet participating in the exercise had already sailed through the North Sea. Oslo decisively expressed the traditional friendly relations between the two countries. After reaching this consensus, the British and Norwegian governments simultaneously announced that because the North Sea oil and gas pipeline was to be constructed
It will be temporarily closed for half a month for routine maintenance. As for the closure time, it will naturally start immediately.
Facing the energy-deficient Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom has already taken action. The first step is to close the North Sea oil and gas pipeline.
