"Without the current military strength, we would never have had the strength to suppress the Federal Republic of Germany. The United States respects Britain and respects Britain's nine aircraft carrier battle groups. Plus France's four, you must know that the United States only has fifteen aircraft carriers.
Battle group."
Alan Wilson has ended his malingering tour and returned to London to continue his rhetoric on German reunification.
Of course, the big talk was to give Mrs. Thatcher more confidence in her tough attitude. After all, George H.W. Bush had already expressed concern about the current conflict between Britain and Germany.
Alan Wilson was afraid that Mrs. Thatcher would back down if the United States put pressure on her. It's not like this has never happened before.
The views of the United States can be taken into account in everything, but German reunification is not an option. If this matter can be backed down, it only shows that the nickname of the Iron Lady is not worthy of the name. She is not as good as Mrs. Meir and not as good as Indira Gandhi. It is completely self-hypnosis.
"If it weren't for the fact that you just recovered from illness, I would definitely embarrass you." Mrs. Thatcher muttered. It was because the Cabinet Secretary had just recovered from a serious illness that she didn't know him as well. The Prime Minister didn't know about the pretending to be sick, so he still
I thought that a man who had been working for many years was indeed not in good health.
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude and believed that the United Kingdom could withstand Bush's pressure. "In fact, from our observation, the sanctions on East Asia have not been determined by law. This shows that President Bush actually
He’s not a very consistent person either.”
If the United States really wanted to impose sanctions on a country, it would at least have to issue a law. However, Bush Sr. just chose an announcement in the end, which can be said to have spared a certain country.
It can be seen that Bush Sr., as a traditional conservative, is not like Reagan, who identified a goal and spent all his money on it.
"Okay, let's not talk about the problems in the United States. It seems that the advisers in the GDR are doing a good job." Mrs. Thatcher asked. She heard that the privatization reform promoted by the United Kingdom had achieved results.
"Not everyone thinks they did a good job. In fact, many citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany think they have been harmed. Especially college students." Alan Wilson shook his head directly. Even if Arnold was his son, he could not get involved in this matter.
If you lie, you still have to tell Mrs. Thatcher the real situation.
Mere privatization is not enough, as we know from the British privatization reform, welfare must also be cut. Mrs. Thatcher was called the Milk Killer when she was the Minister of Education.
There are many welfare benefits in the GDR. Since college students are the hope of the future, subsidies for college students must not be careless. How many college students are there in the GDR? They account for 12% of the total population, more than two million.
People, it can be seen that in terms of education, every country under the Soviet system is good.
As for students in school, each middle school student has a subsidy of 100 marks, and each college student has a subsidy of 200 marks, which are paid every month.
Arnold directly targeted these students who had not entered society, just like Mrs. Thatcher did when she was education secretary, in order to save the expenditure of the East Germany.
"It seems you have a good son." As soon as Mrs. Thatcher heard about this operation, she remembered the method she used when she was the Minister of Education, and she became more fond of the son of the Cabinet Secretary. Although this child
It was not her birth. "It's really shocking that the Democratic Republic of Germany invested so much in education."
"Indeed, it is a waste of the country's finances. If I were me, I would wish that the whole country was illiterate." Alan Wilson said in the tone of a historical villain, "What's the use of going to school?"
Although he was merciless in his words, he was actually very proud of his son's operation. He could not attack the real producers. This would destroy the production of the entire GDR and lead to the country's regression. The situation in the GDR was bad, so naturally it would
Want to merge with the Federal Republic of Germany.
But there is no need to be polite to the students as a group. Students do not have the raw materials for production. Even if they can contribute to the country, it will be a matter of the future. As a group for surgery, they are the most suitable group.
Since they are not an integral part of the national economy, they can be considered unimportant. Of course, unimportant groups should be treated at will.
"Although the Soviet bloc is declining now, it is hard to say what the future will be like." Alan Wilson explained to Mrs. Thatcher, "My idea is this, we must attack the education systems of all countries that were influenced by the Soviet Union.
The populations controlled by the Soviet Union were inherently inferior to those of the free world, and if we could collapse the public education systems of these countries and strip away the state's role in supporting public education, we could destroy the potential of these countries."
"Think about it, Eastern European countries generally have a small population. If we cannot achieve equality in terms of quality, it will be a huge victory for us."
Alan Wilson still saved face for the free world and said something about equality in terms of quality. In fact, he believed that the education in the enemy camp was better than that in the free world, except for higher education.
"It is indeed best to let our enemies decline slowly." Mrs. Thatcher nodded. She also agreed with the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water and believed that such a strategy was more prudent. Once conflicts intensify, the Warsaw Pact is, after all, a force comparable to that of NATO.
Even if the armed group fights a civil war on its own, it is enough to scare Western Europe.
Alan Wilson nodded. He knew that at the end of the Cold War, what Europe and the United States feared most was that the pace of the map was too fast, causing conservatives in the Soviet Union to overturn the table. If a country equipped with tens of thousands of nuclear bombs started a civil war, even if it knew that peace
Even if he has nothing to do with it, that is shocking enough.
In the world of memory, when Saddam was fighting against multinational forces, he did not forget to attack Israel with scuds. Isn't it rare that Israel did not intensify the situation?
Everyone is afraid that a dying country will go out of its way to find someone to support it, but Britain has actually encountered such a thing.
The Ottoman Empire is such an example. Before World War I, the Ottoman Empire had lost more than three million square kilometers of land, which was close to 70% of its peak. As soon as the world war began, the rulers of the Ottoman Empire knew that
Once the Ottoman Empire was defeated, the entire nation was in danger of disappearing.
The Ottoman Empire's desperate maneuvers really beat the British to death, and dragged the feuding Emperor Russia to death. If the Empire did not collapse, the Ottoman Empire would really have to be put on the dining table after the war.
"We can't think that the Soviet Union is weaker than the Ottoman Empire, right? In fact, we can have a good discussion with Washington on this matter." Alan Wilson likes to defend the special relationship between Britain and the United States on such matters of little interest.
Mrs. Thatcher usually went to the United States more frequently than back home, so this time she could go there, and Alan Wilson could also use this opportunity to see if his loyal Whitehall was being tainted when he was pretending to be ill.
"This is rare." Mrs. Thatcher was a little surprised. "Did you become ill once and have your thoughts clear?"
This is indeed Mrs. Thatcher's idea. If the Soviet Union no longer becomes a threat, then where will NATO go? Of course it will still exist. After all, the United States does not want NATO to disintegrate, and the United Kingdom actually does not want it either. The emergence of NATO would have It is the product of Britain's attempt to tie up the United States.
Even if the Warsaw Pact is gone, the Soviet Union itself is stronger than Britain, and Britain does not have the national strength to face the Soviet Union alone.
Regarding the future of NATO, Mrs. Thatcher still wanted to talk to Bush. Although she had seen through Bush Sr. on the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and had the idea of protesting against Bush when attacking Germany, at a larger level, Britain still We must keep away from the United States.
Mrs. Thatcher received rare support from Whitehall and embarked on this visit to the United States. Alan Wilson suggested waiting for Cole's reaction. He felt that Cole would not compromise easily on the issue of reunification.
If Cole does not compromise, the military exercises cannot be extended. When Mrs. Thatcher wants to shirk responsibility and prove that she is not a bad person, she can visit the United States.
At the same time, this naval and army exercise is still going on. The Rhine Army took over the Baltic Sea oil and gas pipeline facilities in Hamburg. The British strongly recommended that a landing be made near the British garrison camp in Hamburg to prepare for this day.
Regardless of whether Cole admits it or not, all oil and gas pipelines in the Federal Republic of Germany have been blocked by the British.
At the cabinet meeting, the ministers were discussing what to do if Cole refused to compromise? Someone proposed cutting off Germany's overseas transportation lines, but Alan Wilson had to firmly oppose it, "This is a pure act of war, we can't do it. Nor can we cut off the Galileo navigation system. This is a navigation system in our hands that competes with the American positioning system. The reason why it occupies the largest share among European countries is because European countries are still willing to trust the UK and will not treat European countries Take action."
Alan Wilson firmly opposed tampering with overseas transportation lines, and cutting off navigation would not work. The United Kingdom counted on this system to increase its influence. "Dear ministers, sanctions cannot come at the expense of itself. We might as well expect the industrial capital of the Federal Republic of Germany to let the Cole understands the seriousness of the situation, and I hear Cole's poll numbers have dropped."
The existing cards can continue to be played, but Britain cannot stab each other with the Germans. He absolutely cannot do this kind of European behavior of special military operations.
Bloodletting against Russia, Russia went from 10,000 per capita to 5,000 per capita, and then the EU's 30,000 per capita became 20,000? 15,000? Inflation skyrocketed, and industries moved out. What will happen in the future? Potatoes grown in Western Europe are larger than Russian potatoes.
What's the matter? The grown potatoes are still the same size and can be sold in Europe for ten yuan a pound?
Even if more measures are taken, the United States will not sit aside and watch. Now Bush Sr. already believes that Britain and France do not take the current emperor seriously.
