Special relationship, sometimes there is, sometimes not. It exists when the United States needs Britain to take the lead, or the United Kingdom needs to fool the United States. Fortunately, the latter still exists now, but if the Soviet Union is gone, whether the latter exists will not matter. Sure.

Given that the current strength of the United Kingdom is about one-third of that of the United States, it is still difficult to face the United States.

Unless, like the Soviet Union before the 1960s, it was able to gather national forces to fight against it, but obviously the Soviet Union could do it, and Britain's social environment similar to that of the United States could not.

And the current Soviet Union may not be able to do it. If the possibility of the Soviet Union as a shield is first ruled out, and whether the United Kingdom or France can be added to withstand the hostility of the United States, it must be carefully calculated.

In terms of troop strength, Britain has a national troop strength of 595,000, while France has stationed troops in North Africa for a long time to prevent the separation of the North African territory. The total troop strength is slightly larger, with 700,000 troops in the French army, navy and air force.

But because France has to take into account the three armed forces of the army, navy and air force, and takes an independent route, not to mention that the foundation is worse than that of the United Kingdom, and France's armaments will be slightly behind.

To put it simply, France's navy and air force are not as good as Britain's, and its army is not as good as Germany's. At present, France's main model is the Mirage 2000 fighter jet, and there is no sign of the Rafale, only that it is under research. As for the four aircraft carriers of the French Navy, two were sold to France by the United Kingdom.

From the perspective of military comparison, even if Britain and France are combined, the total force is 1.3 million, while the active duty of the United States is 2 million. Together, Britain and France have more than 60% of the military strength of the United States.

In terms of total population, the British mainland is 59 million, and France is 58.5 million. The population of the two countries is roughly the same, from one-fifth less than that of the UK to roughly the same population. Finally, the population gap between Britain and France has been smoothed out, so how does it compare with the United States? The population of the United States is 250 million.

Of course, this number is only calculated for the mainland. If the French North African territory is included, the population of France is 70 million, and there are more than 10 million French in North Africa and locals who are willing to be French. Britain will be more optimistic in this regard, if the population of 24 million in Malaya and Xiangjiang are counted. Let alone Rhodesia and Newfoundland, there are not many people. Britain now controls a population of nearly 90 million.

In this way, the comparison between Britain, France and the United States, 160 million to 250 million, seems to be a good comparison. It is not an overwhelming comparison, at least it seems to be somewhat ambivalent.

With a basic idea, Alan Wilson went to No. 10 Downing Street, ready to tell Mrs. Thatcher that the first-hand news from Marshal Mountbatten may be announced by US President Bush at this year's summit. The great free world has won the Cold War.

"The United States wants to declare victory in the Cold War to end the Cold War?" Mrs. Thatcher was taken aback, and then asked in confusion, "Is this letting the Soviet Union go?"

"Then what should we do? The Soviet Union has loosened its grip on Eastern Europe. And thanks to the outstanding leader you admire very much, Mr. Tutou, everyone can see and understand the situation in the Soviet Union."

Alan Wilson replied blankly, "Why don't we consider talking to the map leader? Telling the United States is just an extra sigh of relief. This round of prosperity is caused by printing money. In fact, it is impossible for Bush to tell Reagan Like a fool, another three trillion national debts."

Mrs. Thatcher shook her head. She felt that this man was turning a corner to connotate her, because in essence, she and Reagan's reforms are the same, except that the United States is increasing debts. In addition to increasing debts, Britain can also cash out state-owned enterprises . The economic growth of the United States is indeed incomparable with that of Reagan.

"There is also the army. Even if the army is reduced by 500,000, the Soviet Union still has more than 4 million armed forces. This is obvious." Mrs. Thatcher retorted unconvinced.

"Without money, no one can starve and work hard. Now it's not the same as before. The map head has already destroyed the cohesion of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson sneered, "I couldn't see it a few years ago, and no one can see it now. Now the Soviet Union is really no longer a threat."

Relying on the state system to hold your breath, the Soviet Union could do it in the past, but what about the first Soviet President, Mr. Mapou? That's it?

Not to mention him, it is not unheard of in the history of a certain big country. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, ethnic conflicts were very sharp. In my Qing Dynasty, equal work was not paid. The green battalion who died in battle was less than the Eight Banners who died in battle. This is enough to prove that ethnic oppression , is simply unreasonable.

How serious is this? It’s so serious that ordinary soldiers in the green battalion of the Qing army are only given thirty taels of silver for their deaths, and I, the Ming Dynasty, are only given ten taels for every one killed in battle. That's a lot of money, it's a crime to give it to the big soldiers.

All the big powers miss my Qing Dynasty, so that the level of the big powers is not as good as my Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty abolished the green battalion soldiers and gave them severance pay, and they also specifically watched not to be corrupted by the local government.

With a flick of a pen, the elite in Eastern Europe were laid off after returning home. Unfortunately, the leader of the map turned out to be the leader of the Soviet Union, a country that emphasized class.

When a country that emphasizes class suddenly becomes a typical example of reverse operation, don't blame the Khitan people for adopting national narratives and digging into the corner of the map head.

Mrs. Thatcher was silent, and Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "Dear Prime Minister, think about it, think about it carefully, the United States no longer thinks that the Soviet Union poses a threat. If you want to put it aside, who is it facing?" How about it? Anyway, the mainland of the Soviet Union is connected together, unlike some countries, because of historical reasons, there may be inherent problems in the connection between the mainland and overseas territories. In fact, such a country is relatively fragile, and it is a good target .”

Mrs. Thatcher was stunned, "With no enemies, the United States will disarm. What else can it do? Could it be that it is facing Britain or France and treating us as imaginary enemies?"

"It's just a possibility, without any personal prejudice." Alan Wilson explained unhurriedly, "Anyway, I'm still the leader of Washington, and I won't let potential enemies go."

This is all telling the truth, if he wants the national power of the United States, let alone Britain and France, he will completely bring down China and the Soviet Union, and then step on 10,000 feet so that they will never stand up again.

This is completely reasonable. The United States wants to rule the world until the end of the earth. Not to mention the ability to challenge the United States. Having ideas is an original sin.

"I think this possibility exists. Otherwise, do you expect the Pentagon to watch the balance of the world? Your own budget has been cut?"

Thinking offline along this line of thought, Mrs. Thatcher also had to pay attention to it. Alan Wilson naturally took out the comparison of various data that had been thought of before. At best, the United Kingdom is a little more than one-third of the United States, and its native population is less than one-third.

Even if France is added together, together with the territories of the two countries, it is less than 70% of the United States.

Fortunately, this 70% is very real. It is not Japan during World War II. Only the navy has 70% of the U.S. Navy, and other data are only a fraction of the United States. war.

Looking at it this way, Alan Wilson's work for many years is still very effective. At the end of the Cold War, let alone 70% of Britain and France, even the 70% of the Soviet Union could not reach 70% of the national strength of the United States.

So the United States really wants to kill the donkey. It is not impossible for the United Kingdom to resist. Of course, it is necessary to ensure the unity of Britain and France. If one jumps out alone, it is sending food to the United States.

So far, Alan Wilson has finished talking about the option of bombing Warsaw, and then he can talk about the most optimistic situation, but with the map head, this situation may not be very optimistic.

With the United States already having the possibility of ending the Cold War, the United Kingdom should play a tough obstructive role to squeeze out the last bit of value of the Soviet threat theory. What if it is useful? Although history has proven that it is really useless, the United States has made up its mind to claim victory.

Saying it now is just to slow down Mrs. Thatcher's mood. "It is necessary to prepare with both hands. On the one hand, it is to be alert to the United States' determination to end the Cold War and to adopt a hostile attitude towards Britain. We must improve relations with France. This time we will join forces. Dealing with Germany is an opportunity. In an optimistic situation, we still hope that the Cold War will not end. The United States can concentrate on the Soviet Union. It may be an advantage, but in the face of the changing world situation, it is a disadvantage."

The optimistic scenario is not so optimistic. The pessimistic prediction is really pessimistic. "The prime minister has been managing the special relationship between Britain and the United States. I hope the prime minister can save the most important thing in Britain? At least the top three foreign relations, except the Commonwealth and the European Communist Party. outside the body."

"Oh, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet is really good~ lightnovelpub.net~ Mrs. Thatcher's eccentric answer, now she is enthusiastic about the special relationship between Britain and the United States, but the ambiguity will not change the turbulent future.

Mrs. Thatcher has already made up her mind that the Cold War cannot just end like this, and that the United States must firmly attract the attention of the Soviet Union. This is the current diplomatic focus of Britain.

Of course Alan Wilson knew that there was a high probability of failure, and there was no particular reason, because it had failed in history, and now the probability of failure is even greater.

At the same time that Mrs. Thatcher was adjusting her foreign policy, the Khitan who had just become the President of Russia at the same time as Map Tou became the President of the Soviet Union began her first visit to the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Thatcher received this up-and-coming star in the Soviet political arena. From the first secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee who was kicked out with a single sentence, to the current Russian president, some levels have the same status as map leaders. Mrs. Thatcher said It is hoped that the Khitan people will assist the map leader to stabilize the political situation in the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson also took the opportunity to talk to the Russian president. He is not as unrealistic as Mrs. Thatcher. He only has four words to convey to the Khitan people, and there is no second day.
