Relying on the great achievements of the first five or six years, the Soviet Union can no longer afford the current 45,000 bombs, 50,000 tanks, 70,000 armored personnel carriers, 40,000 artillery and rocket launchers, 3.5 million tons including 3
The Soviet military power included the Red Navy with hundreds of nuclear submarines and the Soviet Air Force with 10,000 aircraft of various types.
It is not a secret that the Soviet Union is short of money. Alan Wilson especially knew this. At this time, half of the Soviet Union came to the door. The cultural tsar believed that this was treating the Soviet Union as a defeated country.
"Do you think you are not a defeated country?" Alan Wilson pouted. Russia's future difficulties are caused by the losers of the Cold War confrontation.
The Soviet Union during the Cold War was not Russia geographically. It was Western Europe that was crushed. Even with the help of the United States, Western European countries could only maintain a balance of power.
As for Russia thirty years later, it was a completely defeated country, and even its national origin, Ukraine, could not be preserved.
If he hadn't supported Alexeev's attempt to seize control of the Soviet Union from the Khitans, that miserable Russia would have appeared, surrounded by a circle of anti-Russian countries.
In fact, thirty years later, a certain big country's geographical relationship is much better than that of Russia. The only country that really has nothing to compare with is India. As for other neighboring countries, it would not dare. Although the United States also has a hand in Asia, in fact, the national power is too disparate.
Not of much use.
Although South Korea claims that its army is invincible in Asia and Europe and does not pay attention to China and Russia, it is just a kind of propaganda. If the nationalism is too high, it will always talk nonsense, such as the battle between the beautiful man in the sky and the caressing queen, and the aircraft carrier.
Killers cannot be taken seriously.
As for another country, Japan, Japan’s weapons inventory is not as good as South Korea’s, and even its military industry has begun to lag behind South Korea’s.
Japan and South Korea do not have the ability to fight a protracted war. Let alone fighting on an annual basis, they cannot sustain it for three months. How can NATO far surpass Russia in terms of economy and population?
"My dear, weapons will lag behind. I don't care about your electronic level."
Alan Wilson signaled the culture tsar to calm down, "Of the 50,000 Soviet tanks, T and T are only 30,000. What's left of T and T is of no use. It's just a show to scare people, but if you sell it to me,
It is not so suffocating in terms of numbers. The strength of the Soviet army will not be much damaged, and it will also allow Britain to gain a harvest in formulating a European peace order for all countries to see."
The current level of electronics is lagging behind, which is not a big deal at this time, but if it is still lagging behind thirty years later, it will not be possible to make up for it by relying on outstanding designers and genius ideas in design. Although Russian design
The divisions are known for integrating second-rate materials into first-rate weapons, but this method will definitely be exposed as time goes by.
The level of electronics thirty years later will be earth-shaking, and Russia's backwardness in this regard has exposed its problems. In the 1990s, the human brain could defeat supercomputers. In the 21st century, let alone supercomputers, not even mobile phones can defeat it.
"What do you want?" Fortseva stared at Ellen Wilson and reminded, "Let me remind you, this country will be led by Alyosha from now on."
Alan Wilson dismissed other threats, but he could not ignore this one, "How about I facilitate an arms sale? An unprecedented arms sale, but if it succeeds, the trade of the entire Warsaw Pact countries will
The settlement system is used as collateral, which is a necessary condition, and Britain is prepared to purchase the Soviet equipment in service."
The supreme authority directly came up with more than twenty necessary options, including but not limited to, cooperation between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union in aerospace, seemingly insignificant options such as issuing visas for the Soviet Union to study in the United Kingdom, and the final arms sales.
The big order is to purchase 20,000 Soviet tanks, 30,000 armored vehicles, aerospace engine technology, active warships of the Red Navy, etc., including nuclear submarines.
Fortseva's face looked like you were dreaming, "The military industry developed by the Soviet Union for decades and the economic system controlled by the Soviet Union were all given to the British, right?"
"After this year, the Soviet Union will have a problem eating." Alan Wilson tilted his head at the cultural tsar and changed the subject, "Isn't this also for the sake of peace for a generation?"
This batch of military equipment remains in the hands of the Soviet Union and will inevitably be decommissioned in the next three or four years. In fact, Alan Wilson could have done nothing and watched it turn into scrap metal.
From a profit perspective, this arms sale does not bring much benefit to the UK. Even if 20,000 to 30,000 tanks are given to the UK, the UK will only build a tank cemetery in Australia to store these iron lumps, and the UK has no need for these weapons.
But if this agreement is reached, the UK can convince European countries that it has done everything it can for European peace, and there will be no big problem in leading Europe in the future. The real gain is that the Soviet Union mentioned
Sterling settlement in the Warsaw Pact economic circle.
"Let's discuss it." Fortseva did not refuse directly. The cultural tsar admitted that what the other party said was reasonable, but she did not count the matter herself, and she also felt that the Soviet Union suffered too much.
"If that doesn't work, the Soviet Union can consider putting pressure on Eastern European countries and asking Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Poland to sell their banks to British banks. In this case, you can preserve part of your own interests by sacrificing the interests of Eastern European countries.
, the pain of reform."
Alan Wilson came up with a bad idea. Britain competed with American capital through normal competition. The odds of winning were not very high. But with the help of the Soviet Union, it was different. With 300% profit, British bankers could completely regard their American counterparts as enemies.
Fortseva asked him to wait for news, and Alan Wilson agreed. The problem of the Soviet Union was very simple. It had no money. Throughout history, there are people who can make a comeback from desperate situations. Among the top ten marshals in the military field, Marshal He is like this.
For example, under extremely difficult conditions such as encirclement and interception, similar to the Long March, you can let your troops fight more and more, and the skill of pulling the team is at full level.
But there are very few people like that. Alan Wilson doesn't think that the good old man can do this. He has already finished the first phase of the Munich-Moscow Agreement. Now he is waiting for the cover work of the Foreign Secretary John Major. Can there be one?
result.
After John Major came back from the meeting with Map Head, he talked about his understanding. The reason why Map Head is still on stage is mainly because the coup forces did not want to face the dilemma and raised Map Head as a shield. I hope Map Head will take responsibility.
Take them all, but the map leader himself does not have much power now.
You can tell Alan Wilson that he has just had a conversation with a mother and son who have the same status as wife and son. He dare not say that he knows much about the current situation in the Soviet Union, but he is definitely the foreigner who knows the best.
However, John Major still achieved results. He obtained the verbal promise from Map Head that Map Head would try to stop any remarks about the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
"That's good, there are still results." Alan Wilson expressed his appreciation for John Major's results. In the final analysis, the Soviet military power led to this being a conditional surrender, and Germany's treatment was not suitable for the Soviet Union.
The next day, Ellen Wilson suggested that Furtseva open a breakthrough in France. Furtseva looked outside and asked, "Has the sun come out from the west?"
"Britain itself cannot balance the national power of the Soviet Union, even after you disarmament." Alan Wilson said without hesitation. He has really become a Francophile in his life, but there is no way, Britain is an island country
, and the UK cannot develop land and sea at the same time, but if it wants to maintain its status as a world power, it must get along well with France.
"Oh, dear, you just want to let the French work in vain, and then Britain will take the majority of the profits." Fortseva did not believe in Alan Wilson's performance. This suggestion was just to hope that the Soviet Union and France would lift their cover.
A real behind-the-scenes operation.
"So what, I'm British!" Alan Wilson puffed up his chest proudly and emphasized, "At least I managed Britain's last strategic contraction, and I'm still the father of your son. You should believe me, I will
Will it harm you, mother and son?”
That's not what Fortseva meant. The Cultural Tsar also admitted that this man really had nothing to say in this regard. The situation in the Soviet Union is just like what the other party said. It really needs a large amount of aid to stabilize. Compared with the aid from the United States,
, Britain has at least put its conditions on the table.
On the surface, the Foreign Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary-General mentioned in the joint communiqué the British diplomatic efforts to prevent the Soviet Union from proliferating nuclear weapons as the result of this diplomacy. In fact, as a result of the secret operation, Alan Wilson had to personally report to Thatcher
The wife reported that Mr. Thatcher went out for a walk obediently.
"I have made an offer for the trade settlement share of the entire Warsaw Pact countries. Once this is successful, the pound will once again become the world's number one reserve and settlement currency."
Alan Wilson held his waist with both hands and said with an aura of who is claiming to be invincible and who dares to say that he is invincible, "This is only part of it. The investment of shares of the Bank of Eastern Europe is also necessary. The Soviet Union must cooperate with the British action. Otherwise, it is completed.
Why should we abandon the special relationship between Britain and the United States to build a new relationship with huge risks?"
"You really made such an offer and the Soviets didn't refuse on the spot." Mrs. Thatcher was shocked. This cake was so big that it was crazy.
"Am I kidding?" Alan Wilson really wanted to slap the Iron Lady twice, so he replied angrily, "If we can do it before the general election, I think the outcome is still uncertain, and maybe it can offset the impact of the poll tax.
Impact."
When it comes to the general election, Mrs. Thatcher is no longer sleepy. Starting from the poll tax, her approval rate has been maintained at 20% for a long time. In other words, this is a poll of the Conservative Party. If there is a way to reverse the situation, it is not impossible.
Being able to do it, and boosting the approval ratings of wealthy supporters is a sure thing.
