British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1713: Bush's questions

A country like the Federal Republic of Germany that is full of eyeliners, especially the capital Bonn is still within the observation range of the British garrison, so naturally 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 secretary-general of the cabinet could not do it for her, so naturally she could only ask Cole to wait.

"He's cruel enough. If we don't say that what the school taught us is true, imperialism is indeed cruel." Anna tilted her neck and complained, looking at Pokina and asking, "Is there anything you can do?"

"No, German reunification is indeed an uncompromising matter for the United Kingdom, and it is not a whim."

Bokina shook her head and said, "You see, Mrs. Thatcher has been forming an anti-German ally for a year, and you know that this is a consensus in the British political circle. It is not a certain person who is advancing, and it is useless to find him. You don't know Everything else is negotiable with him, and he is never stingy with giving us what he has, but he has never been negotiable when it comes to state relations."

"Indeed." Anna let out a long breath and said helplessly, "Actually, we don't need to fight for it, we're not..."

"Huh?" Pokina squinted at Anna, causing her sister to swallow half of the German's words, "We are not men, and there is no need to care about national affairs. If German men can't solve this problem, women can do it. solved?"

For the two sisters, business is still business, but the energy problem has indeed had a huge impact on the business of the Hellman family. After all, in the lives of ordinary people, this kind of hard life is a long-standing memory. . Similarly, German companies are also under tremendous pressure.

"If things go on like this, we have to think about finding a country that is not so expensive to do manufacturing." Pokinna considered the current situation, and must say that the two sisters have initially acquired the self-awareness of world citizens, and I don't think it has to be bound in one country.

The Prime Minister is not here, so the other half of the husband-and-wife shop has the final say. Looking at Prince Alexander in front of him, Alan Wilson expressed his importance, "In fact, the UK focused on fighting for His Majesty, but Tito was too strong at the time, but it is undeniable that this The opinion of His Majesty in Yugoslavia has been improving for several years."

The reason why it is getting better is not because Tito died, and the political system left by Tito began to fail, which led to the breeding of royalists, because apart from Tito himself, there are not many places to gather consensus in Yugoslavia Well, Peter II, who was in exile in England, also overthrew the pro-German regent at that time, and it was a big deal.

Of course, it is still impossible to restore the royal family with this alone. Allen Wilson just tried to see if it worked, and said directly to Prince Alexander, "The situation in Yugoslavia, to be honest, is very similar to that of Austria-Hungary after World War I." Empire, that's not what any European country wants to see."

This is very straightforward, like the Austro-Hungarian Empire was broken into one place, completely thanks to the gift of US President Wilson, the United Kingdom was against national self-determination at that time.

Of course, the biggest victims of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the Hungarians, but the Hungarians themselves had problems. When the Austro-Hungarian Empire existed, Hungary shared power with the Austrians with slightly more than one-fifth of the population.

Accepting transfer payments from Austria, and using their political status to suppress other nations, is playing the role of holding back.

In a sense, the Hungarians were indeed not wronged after the war, but such harsh terms as the Trianon Peace Treaty must have been 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 that of Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is so extensive that it is not a dominant population in many disputed places. The UK hopes for peace in Europe, and also hopes that Yugoslavia can restore the traditional friendly relationship with the UK. Dear Prince, would you mind going to Yugoslavia?"

Although the chance of success is not high, if the Kingdom of Yugoslavia can be revived, Prince Alexander, as the sole heir to the royal family, must have some affection for Britain after living in the UK for so many years, at least during the time when the prince was king, Yugoslavia should not have differences with Britain.

He remembered that Prince Alexander had attended the Queen's funeral, at least in the news that he was in good health, so it seemed that the friendly relationship could be maintained 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 it cannot be restored, this will arouse the vigilance of the Yugoslav League. If there is a foreign enemy, maybe the forces inside Yugoslavia will not tear their faces. If you have to break up Better not to fight.

In short, no matter how bad things are, it will not be so bad that history repeats itself. It is much better than a scuffle among the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia.

This is going to happen, and Alan Wilson can save millions of lives. If you think about it, you will be meritorious. The only question now is, will Prince Alexander dare to go?

Prince Alexander quickly answered this question. Of course he dared to. Otherwise, power can easily blind people. 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 anyway.

"Let's go to Rhodesia first, I will arrange some people to shoot a scene that is loved by thousands of people." Alan Wilson hesitated and warned, "Rhodesia is an inalienable territory of the British Empire, even if it is Occupies some Slavs, but that's British land. I hope the prince doesn't think too much about it."

Go to Rhodesia first, use the supporters of Rhodesia to build momentum, and then go to Yugoslavia, which can create some momentum, but the help that Alan Wilson can provide is limited to momentum, he is not generous enough to spend himself The overseas territories that have been spared no effort to keep, are generously given to others.

At this moment, Mrs. Thatcher also came to the White House. Since Bush Sr. came to power, the frequency of Mrs. Thatcher's visits to the United States has decreased. The reason is, of course, that Bush Sr. is not keen on the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Of course, this time, Bush Sr. also watched how Britain and France performed to adjust the Germans. Bush Sr. is a professional politician, and he didn’t want to learn from Reagan’s reckless attack on Japan. The key is that there is only one Japan, and Bush Sr. cannot use it anymore up.

But Britain and France made trouble this time unreasonably, and also caused some hot money from Germany to flow into the United States, so he allowed Britain and France to make trouble within an appropriate range.

This time, Bush Sr. has already predicted that Mrs. Thatcher wants to win the support of the United States for Britain's actions. He will definitely not support it. He will also persuade Mrs. Thatcher to stop when it is too late. Talk about South Africa.

Although Anglo-American relations are losing confidence, the iceberg is hard to rely on. The Western camp is also slowly splitting, but on some extraterritorial issues, Bush Sr. thinks it is still possible to talk to Mrs. Thatcher.

There are also problems in Europe. After the meeting, Bush Sr. expressed his thoughts, "NATO and Warsaw Pact countries, as well as the Soviet Union, should try to conclude a joint reconciliation statement of "non-use of force" and "no longer hostile to each other", and Principles for a conventional European disarmament agreement."

Bush Sr.'s thinking is simple. The 3 trillion dollar debt surge like Reagan's is unsustainable. Let alone the Soviet Union is still alive, the United States will beat itself to death with chicken blood.

Now that the leader of the map has deliberately expressed his desire to end the hostility, he should take advantage of the advantage to end the long-standing hostile relationship 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 the position of strength and force the Soviet Union to achieve the result we want, instead of joining the Soviet Union ourselves. go in."

"Do you think the conservatives in the Soviet Union let the top of the map continue to be stupid?" Bush asked directly, "If I remember correctly, there was indeed a coup in the Soviet Union, and it wasn't too long ago."

As for the issue of nuclear weapons, Bush Sr. did not hide his thoughts, "The United States will support the view of the Federal Republic of Germany. In fact, after the reduction of conventional forces, Europe mainly depends 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 have done ~lightnovelpub.net~ We are sliding towards the deadly position of no first use of nuclear weapons. This position has always been the propaganda tool of the Soviet Union Persist. Such an adjustment would place our conventional forces in a position where they cannot counter their numerical superiority."

Mrs. Thatcher's rhetoric must be very effective when used on Reagan, but it is not the case from the perspective of Bush Sr. Now Britain and France have the military power to pinch the Federal Republic of Germany, and one still retains many other continents. Another territory that holds Algeria in North Africa, but still allows the United States to continue to invest?

A heavy blow to the Federal Republic of Germany, and a promise to the Soviets? From his point of view, this time the military exercise to contain the Federal Republic of Germany, it is obvious that Britain and France still have spare power, but they don’t use it where they should be, but they always kidnap the United States on European security issues and make the United States bear the burden of confronting the Soviet Union big head.

In fact, this is also the mainstream opinion of Bush Sr.'s administration. They feel that Britain and France in the free world are suspicious allies of the United States. Why are they suspicious? Because there are no US troops stationed in these two countries.

"With regard to Europe's defense spending, the U.S. part will definitely not increase." Bush Sr. did not hide his thoughts. The Soviet Union has disarmed and the threat has diminished. It is unreasonable to continue to increase military spending.
