Strategy is actually not important, what is important is self-knowledge, even though Britain is still saying things through its mouth in the 21st century, it is still a world power.

But the strategy implemented is one-sided, which is no different from Japan and South Korea. In fact, this is also the strategy implemented by most European countries.

Germany and France are the only two countries that want to be independent. What about the situation in Germany? There are garrisons in the country that are not tough, and they still want to be independent and define themselves as a world power. If Russia is not counted, only the French are left in Europe. But France is also in a difficult position.

After the end of the Cold War, the situation in Europe became more and more difficult. From the economic aggregate exceeding 30% of the United States to being overtaken by the United States by 30%, the whole of Europe became weaker and weaker. What can France do? No matter how hard it works, Nor can it change the fact that the gap between France and the United States is widening. Europe can't be bundled together, and France really can't help it.

Alan Wilson feels that the current government can order the Storm fighter jet. After all, it is the first fourth-generation fighter jet to be launched in the world, which can be used to express the attitude of the United Kingdom.

"Secretary-General, this is what you want to say." Mrs. Thatcher asked back, "The previous words are foreshadowing, aren't they?"

"It's really all the truth, not foreshadowing. As for the order of fighter jets, it is because the UK has to be prepared to protect its interests, but to show strength to the US and let them not underestimate the UK."

Allen Wilson said while thinking, counting with his fingers, in fact, the foundation is quite good, and he will not suffer from schizophrenia.

In the Internet age, there is no point of extra points. In terms of traditional public opinion, the hegemony of British public opinion is no less than that of the United States.

In the military, after air-to-air missiles were under the jurisdiction of the long arm of the United States in the Middle East War, the United Kingdom also kept an eye on key armaments. Satellite navigation also shared Galileo with France. There is nothing to fear when the military is independent.

Of course, that is to say, Alan Wilson is still the prime minister who can quickly advance orders. After all, there are orders from Australia, which can help the UK save a lot of costs.

Compared with the history that even the Typhoon fighter jets entered service in European countries after the Soviet Union disappeared, Alan Wilson has reason to believe that the British aviation industry in this world is countless times stronger than the original world. Look at the budget of the Ministry of Finance.

This is the job of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Alan Wilson took the initiative to find the daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lawson. He said that the daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was taken by Arnold to take the rocket. Of course he knew, although Arnold was married. , but Lawson can have the same status as Arnold's wife with him.

"In this era, it's not like our time..." It takes more time to play than anyone else, but at this time Alan Wilson wants to pretend to be an old-fashioned, with a face of different ages. Now that he is at this age, he must Playing an old-fashioned, but willing to go against the principles and turn a blind eye to the Lawson and Arnold matter.

According to the original history, Lawson should resign now. This is also the difference between the European faction and the Atlantic faction within the Conservative Party. For a long time, the Conservative Party has disagreed on European policy and economic policy.

With the support of Geoffrey Howe, Lawson advocated a positive attitude towards European policy, linking the United Kingdom to the currencies of the European Community countries, joining the European monetary system, in order to stabilize the pound and rectify domestic inflation. Mrs Thatcher refused to join the European Monetary System on the grounds of sovereignty.

If Alan Wilson is to judge, of course the European faction is right. Can the UK not do business with European countries and do business with the United States, which has a special relationship?

However, in this world, the liquidity of the pound sterling has not been squeezed, and after a blow to the idea of ​​the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany, the liquidity of the pound seems to have increased.

Use the pound if you have it, and even the European faction will not fight with Mrs Thatcher's faction on currency.

With an appearance of violating the principle for the sake of the sincere relationship between the two, he successfully made the Chancellor's daughter feel grateful, and the task of solving the Chancellor was taken on.

"I believe my son can solve this problem." Alan Wilson put his hands in his pockets gratified. He just bought his son at a good price and he was in a good mood. As for what to do in the future, isn't there a saying that only one generation To do things for a generation, Li Zhongtang is Zhongtang, isn’t Ai Zhongtang the Zhongtang?

The tendency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer plays a decisive role in whether the Storm Fighter can be recognized by the United Kingdom this time. Don't worry about the military's attitude, Marshal Mountbatten has already approved it for them.

The key is to have money, and the soldiers have to have enough to eat before they can fight, so the key to this issue still depends on the opinion of the Ministry of Finance. Sure enough, the Minister of Finance appeared. He definitely did not talk about his daughter, but abandoned his selfishness. Have a good talk with the cabinet secretary for the good of the UK.

"I have always been optimistic about Arnold." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said directly, "I also believe that he will also be an excellent civil servant in the future. As for the matter of the Storm fighter jet, the Ministry of Finance has no objection in principle, but we need to talk about it in terms of numbers. .”

Alan Wilson nodded. The dialogue on this number is indeed necessary. After all, even Australia said it would order 200 planes. The United Kingdom claims to be a world power. Too few?

In the end, both of them agreed that after repeated research, the UK did not need to deliberately pursue a figure that must exceed twice that of Australia. Together with Australia's order, this time the order for Storm fighter jets, 370 is enough, together with Australia's order intentions are 570 in total.

A few days later, the news that the Tempest fighter, the world's first fourth-generation fighter manufactured by the United Kingdom, will enter the service of the Royal Air Force spread all over the world. It has aroused discussions among people in key circles all over the world. The move by the Washington government and the United Kingdom is unnecessary in the context of détente, and peace is the mainstream of development.

"It's like, when the Labor Party was in power, we said the same to the United States that fought the Vietnam War." Alan Wilson tilted his head and said to Pamela Mountbatten. Of course, the richest woman is happy, and it is another big order.

Of course, whether the United States' move is for world peace is obviously sour, and it does not rule out that it has already become hostile to Britain, and feels that this post-war ally is somewhat uncontrollable.

"Impossible." Pamela Mountbatten lowered her voice, "The current Tempest fighter is simply not enough to meet the 4S standard."

"But the United States doesn't know." Alan Wilson replied with a smile, "What can the United States see? It can see a typhoon that is almost exactly the same as the American Eagle, and it can see a comet that is on par with Boeing."

There is a basis for the supreme authority to dare to lie to the Americans. If the United Kingdom has nothing, the United States will definitely think that the so-called first fourth-generation fighter jet in the United Kingdom is a propaganda.

By showing its muscles, the United Kingdom made Bush Sr. very dissatisfied. At the same time, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Pentagon. Where did the Ministry of Finance's annual appropriation go? Such a huge appropriation was once again snatched by the United Kingdom.

Bush Sr. doesn't know where it is now. As a department that has never received a single corrupt payment since its inception, the Pentagon certainly has its own statement. This statement is essentially based on strength and status, and it makes sense for excellent weapons to be slower to leave the factory.

Why don't you consider putting pressure on the UK when you go to London to attend the summit, and try to see if you can fool the British with the principle of helping the East and the West to ease the situation.

At the beginning of July, US President Bush flew to London. The heads of NATO member states came to London together. Everyone gathered together to talk about the future of NATO. Mrs. Thatcher of course repeated the same old tune, emphasizing that the threat from Russia cannot be ignored, but most people are no longer interested in this voice.

This is especially true after Bush Sr. made his statement. This is the first time that Britain and the United States have adopted completely different attitudes on one matter. It can be said that during the whole process, Mrs. Thatcher and Bush Sr. were not on the same channel. This is in stark contrast to the Reagan period.

The things Mrs. Thatcher objected to included several issues. She opposed not using nuclear weapons as a conventional means of putting pressure on the Soviet Union, and opposed Western Europe and the Soviet Union's negotiations on the disarmament of conventional forces.

This voice was ignored by Bush Sr., and under the interference of Mrs. Thatcher, he brought out the London Declaration of the North Vietnam Summit. The joint reconciliation statement that the parties will no longer be hostile to each other, and set an agenda in principle for reaching an agreement on conventional European disarmament: strive to sign the first phase of a treaty on the reduction of conventional European forces within the first year.

Bush also emphasized that the nuclear threshold was raised, and the bottom line for the use of nuclear weapons was re-established. At the same time, under the condition that the conventional forces achieved a low-level balance, the use of nuclear weapons should not be considered as the primary choice for dealing with large-scale conventional attacks, thereby reducing the need for the use of nuclear weapons. Excessive reliance on nuclear weapons ~lightnovelpub.net~ and reiterated support for the Federal Republic of Germany, the intermediate-range missile treaty is still valid, and will not deploy short-range missiles in the Federal Republic of Germany.

"Taking nuclear weapons as the last option will disintegrate NATO's threat effect." Mrs. Thatcher stood up and accused Bush of dissatisfaction. "Compared with the original consensus, this meeting will lead to NATO's response. It turned out to be flexible.”

"Does Prime Minister Thatcher think it is flexible to be ready to fight a nuclear war at any time?" Bush Sr. asked the European heads of state in the venue while speaking, "Can we listen to the opinions of other allies?"

Opinion? That is obvious. Several countries are willing to threaten each other with the Soviet Union from time to time. Naturally, they all stand beside Bush Sr. Even though the meeting was held in London, Bush Sr. still had the upper hand, but in the end the old Bush Bush still gave Mrs. Thatcher face and did not directly announce the end of the Cold War at the meeting.

When he plans to visit France next month, he will gather his friends together to announce the victory. It can be regarded as leaving the last bit of dignity to Mrs. Thatcher, the host.
