In a country like the Federal Republic of Germany where there are many informants, especially since the capital Bonn is still within the observation range of the British garrison, it is natural that it cannot be hidden from the eyes of MI6.
So Mrs. Thatcher set off for a visit to the United States. She would definitely not receive a cross-border call from Cole, and the Cabinet Secretary-General could not do it for her, so naturally she could only ask Cole to wait.
"He is quite cruel. Otherwise, what we are taught in school is true, and imperialism is indeed cruel." Anna tilted her neck and complained, looking at Pokina and asked, "Is there anything you can do?"
"No, German reunification is indeed a non-negotiable matter for Britain, and it is not a whim."
Pokina shook her head and said, "You see that Mrs. Thatcher has been forming anti-German allies for a year, and you know that this is a consensus in the British political circles. It is not promoted by one person at all. There is no point in looking for him. It's not like you don't know.
Everything else is negotiable with him, and he is never stingy about sharing what he has with us, but he is never negotiable when it comes to national relations."
"Indeed." Anna took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Actually, we don't need to fight for it, we are not..."
"Huh?" Bokina glanced at Anna sideways, causing her sister to swallow back half of the German's words, "We are not men, there is no need to care about national affairs. If German men can't solve this problem, women can step forward.
solved?"
For the two sisters, they should do business or do business. However, energy problems have indeed had a huge impact on the Heilmann family's business. After all, in ordinary people's lives, such hard days are already a long time ago.
.Similarly, German companies are also under tremendous pressure.
"If this continues, we must consider finding a country where manufacturing costs are not so high." Bokina considered the current situation. It must be said that the two sisters have initially acquired the self-understanding of world citizens, and
I don’t think it has to be bound to one country.
In the absence of the Prime Minister, the other half of the mom-and-pop shop has the final say in the UK. Looking at Prince Alexander in front of him, Alan Wilson expressed his importance, "In fact, the UK fought hard for His Majesty, but Tito was too strong at the time, but it is undeniable that this
The opinion of His Majesty the King in Yugoslavia has been improving over the past few years."
The reason why it is getting better is not because Tito is dead, but the political system left by Tito is beginning to fail, which has led to the growth of royalists, because apart from Tito himself, there are not many places where consensus in Yugoslavia can be gathered.
, Peter II, who was in exile in England, also overthrew the pro-German regent at that time, which was considered a great success.
Of course, it is still impossible to restore the royal family just by using this method. Alan Wilson just gave it a try to see if it had any effect. He directly said to Prince Alexander, "The situation in Yugoslavia, to be honest, is very similar to that of Austria-Hungary after World War I."
Empire, this is not what any European country wants to see."
This statement is very straightforward. It was like the Austro-Hungarian Empire that was shattered into pieces. This was entirely due to US President Wilson. Britain was opposed to national self-determination at the time.
The biggest victims of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were of course the Hungarians, but the Hungarians themselves also had problems. When the Austro-Hungarian Empire existed, Hungary shared power with the Austrians with slightly more than one-fifth of its population.
Accepting transfer payments from Austria and using his political status to suppress other ethnic groups, he plays the role of a hindrance.
In a sense, the Hungarians were indeed not unjust after the war, but harsh terms such as the Trianon Peace Treaty were certainly beyond the dreams of the Hungarians.
Alan Wilson used Hungary after the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as an example, and told Prince Alexander, “In fact, the situation of the Serbs in Yugoslavia is very similar to the situation of Hungary in the original Austro-Hungarian Empire. The population does not occupy the dominant position, but the distribution is
It is extremely widespread, resulting in the population not being dominant in many disputed places. Britain hopes for peace in Europe, and also hopes that Yugoslavia can restore its traditional friendly relations with Britain. Dear prince, would you mind going to Yugoslavia?"
Although the chance of success is low, if the Kingdom of Yugoslavia can be resurrected, Prince Alexander, as the sole heir of the royal family, must have some feelings for Britain after living in the UK for so many years, at least during the time when this prince was the king.
Yugoslavia should have no disagreements with Britain.
He remembered that Prince Alexander had attended the Queen's funeral. At least he was in good health according to the news. It seemed that he could maintain a friendly relationship for forty years.
Of course, even if Prince Alexander returns to Yugoslavia, there is a high probability that he will not be able to restore it. If he cannot restore it, this will arouse the vigilance of the Yugoslavia. If a foreign enemy appears, maybe the forces within Yugoslavia will not break up. If they must break up,
It's best not to fight.
In short, no matter how bad things are, it will not be so bad that history will repeat itself. It will be much better than a melee breaking out among the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia.
If this is going to happen, Alan Wilson will be able to save millions of lives. Just think about it and it will be a great merit. The only question now is, does Prince Alexander dare to go?
Prince Alexander quickly answered this question. Of course he dared. Otherwise, power can easily make people blind. Alan Wilson felt that Prince Alexander knew in his heart that the success rate was really low, but for a hope, he had to give it a try.
"Let's go to Rhodesia first. I will arrange for some people to shoot a scene with thousands of people supporting me." Alan Wilson hesitated before issuing a warning, "Rhodesia is an indivisible territory of the British Empire, even if the local area is
Occupied some Slavs, but that's British land. I hope the prince won't think too much about it."
First go to Rhodesia to build momentum with Rhodesian supporters, and then go to Yugoslavia. This can build some momentum, but the help Alan Wilson can provide is limited to momentum. He is not generous enough to spend his own money.
He tried his best to protect the overseas territory and generously gave it to others.
At this moment, Mrs. Thatcher has also arrived at the White House. Since Bush Sr. came to power, the frequency of Mrs. Thatcher's visits to the United States has dropped. The reason is of course that Bush Sr. is not keen on the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
Of course, Bush Sr. just watched the British and French show how to deal with the Germans this time. Bush Sr. is a professional politician and does not want to imitate Reagan's reckless punching of Japan. The key is that there is only one Japan, and Bush Sr. can no longer use it.
.
But the unreasonable quarrel between Britain and France this time also caused some German hot money to flow into the United States, so he allowed Britain and France to quarrel within an appropriate scope.
This time Bush Sr. has predicted that Mrs. Thatcher will definitely not support the United States' support for Britain's actions, and he will definitely persuade Mrs. Thatcher to stop. Of course, he also has issues to discuss with Mrs. Thatcher, such as
Talk about South Africa.
Although the relationship between Britain and the United States is losing its footing, and the iceberg is difficult to rely on. The Western camp is also slowly splitting, but on some extraterritorial issues, Bush Sr. feels that he can still talk to Mrs. Thatcher.
European problems are not without problems. After the meeting, Bush Sr. expressed his thoughts, "NATO, the Warsaw Pact countries, and the Soviet Union should try to conclude a joint reconciliation statement that "will not use force against each other" and "no longer be hostile to each other."
To achieve the principles of European conventional disarmament agreement.”
Bush Sr.'s idea was very simple. The skyrocketing debt of three trillion US dollars like Reagan's was unsustainable. If the Soviet Union was still alive, the United States would beat itself to death with chicken blood.
Since Tutou has deliberately expressed his desire to end hostilities, he should take advantage of the advantage to end the long-standing hostilities and carry out slow disarmament.
"We can't do this, Mr. President." Mrs. Thatcher immediately objected after hearing this, "At least not at this time. We should proceed from a position of strength and force the Soviet Union to achieve the results we want, rather than join in ourselves.
Go in."
"Do you think the conservatives in the Soviet Union have allowed Tutou to continue to be stupid?" Bush asked directly, "If I remember correctly, the Soviet Union did have a coup, and it was not too long ago."
As for the issue of nuclear weapons, Bush did not hide his thoughts, "The United States will support the Federal Republic of Germany's view. In fact, after the reduction of conventional forces, Europe mainly relies on its own protection. Of course, the United States will continue to protect Europe, but Europe itself
Protect yourself."
"We should continue to believe in the proven role of NATO nuclear weapons, as we already do. We are sliding towards a lethal no-first-use position. This position has been adhered to by Soviet propaganda tools. Such adjustments
It would put our conventional forces in a position where they would be unable to counter their numerical superiority."
Mrs. Thatcher's rhetoric must have been very effective when applied to Reagan, but from the perspective of Bush Sr., this is not the case. Now both Britain and France have reached out to strangle the military power of the Federal Republic of Germany, and one of them still retains many other continents.
territory in North Africa, and Algeria in North Africa is held in another hand, but the United States continues to invest?
Strike hard at the Federal Republic of Germany, but I am submissive to the Soviet Union? From his point of view, this military exercise to contain the Federal Republic of Germany is obviously that Britain and France still have spare power, but they are not used where they should be, but always in Europe.
He kidnapped the United States on security issues and made the United States bear the bulk of the confrontation with the Soviet Union.
In fact, this is also the mainstream opinion of the Bush administration, which believes that Britain and France in the free world are suspicious allies of the United States. Why is it suspicious? Because there are no US troops stationed in these two countries.
"As for Europe's defense spending, the United States will definitely not increase it." Bush Sr. did not hide his thoughts. The Soviet Union has disarmed and the threat has become smaller. It is unjustifiable to continue to increase military spending.
