British civil servant

It was only in consideration of the strength gap between the two countries and the fact that Eastern European countries were changing that they did not openly tear themselves apart with the Soviet Union.

Talking about the differences in Eastern European countries, Alan Wilson returned to the topic, "We especially cannot allow the real public opinion of the GDR to appear. Prime Minister, we all know it in our hearts. We really have to speak according to public opinion and compare it with the current economic strength. , the citizens of the GDR were irresistible to temptation."

"You are now persona non grata to the Federal Republic of Germany." Mrs. Thatcher smiled, and there was such a hint of joy in this smile.

"I only serve the interests of the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson took the opportunity to express his loyalty to the United Kingdom, and then changed the topic and said, "But the Atlantic faction is not necessarily, who knows whether the capital in their eyes is London or Washington? "

Mrs. Thatcher frowned at the man in front of her. How could she not hear it? This was connoting the Conservative Party again. "Yes, no one in the whole country is more patriotic than you."

"Compared with whom, my son is currently in Berlin, just like during the Falkland War, my eldest son was on the front line." Alan Wilson ignored the iron lady's eccentricity. It is the Prime Minister, and it is not qualified to be patriotic in front of him.

"It will be a new era in a few days, and we hope that there will be more good news." Alan Wilson said this to express his wishes to Mrs. Thatcher, "I wish the Prime Minister a happy new year in advance. If there is nothing else, I would like to Stay with your family."

In a few days, the first year of the 90s will be ushered in. In the past year, although the free world has seen earth-shattering changes far from what it has seen in history, the trend we can see is good and united The free world has good patience, waiting for more good news to happen, and hopes that the power of the example of Poland and Hungary will be transmitted to more countries.

"Thank you for your wishes." Mrs. Thatcher thanked. However, in the past year, everything was not going well for her. The relationship between Britain and the United States has gradually drifted away after President Bush took office. This is what she wants to avoid, but she only found out now that there seems to be no way.

Leaving No. [-] Downing Street, the Supreme Authority called the ladies as usual, and then went to Monroe's for dinner. After a few days, everything was covered. It was not as easy as him. Mrs. Thatcher had her own affairs, and the Prime Minister The offshore balance of China is very twisted.

She wants to stick to her inherent position, but also deliberately shows a certain flexibility at certain moments.On the one hand, she insisted on Britain's sovereignty, safeguarded Britain's "freedom" and defended Britain's interests, and was not reconciled to Britain's rapid integration into the economic integration of the European Community.

However, they insisted on re-establishing the image of the British Empire on the basis of the "special relationship" between Britain and the United States; on the other hand, they had to face the reality that Britain had lost its historical conditions beyond the European Community and were forced to participate in the integration of the European Community. process, and under strong domestic and foreign opposition to her policy towards the European Community, she had to cooperate and coordinate with other member states of the European Community within a certain range and to a certain extent.

There are two points. Allen Wilson and Mrs. Thatcher are still consistent. They clearly oppose the unified European view of the chairman of the Community Committee Delors on the establishment of federalism.Mrs. Thatcher believed that the unity of Europe should be the union of independent and sovereign states, and the dual principles of national interests and national sovereignty should not be compromised.

Very good, of course it is best to be able to do what you say. Alan Wilson suggested that the Federal Republic of Germany has foreign troops, which cannot reflect the interests of German citizens, and Margaret Thatcher glared at him, because the Federal Republic of Germany also has troops. One copy for the UK.

"So, that's what politicians are like. They are clearly fighting to the death, but they tell lies every day. Just tell the Germans that any German claim that the garrison exists doesn't matter." Alan Wilson said maliciously, " As for the unification of Germany, don’t even think about it. If the map leader dares to nod, he will be the end of Peter III.”

"I'm talking about the European Monetary Unification Policy." Mrs. Thatcher frowned, wondering if you were listening to me.

"It's all the same. Even Germany can't be unified, and what kind of European currency can be unified, isn't that a joke?" Alan Wilson asked nonchalantly, "We want to prevent the integration of European currency and prevent the threat to the status of the British pound. The only way is to make Germany impossible to reunite, right?"

Since Mrs. Thatcher felt unsure, Alan Wilson gave his own suggestion to hold a military exercise with the French garrison. Although the purpose is well known, it cannot be clearly stated, and let the Germans know the British attitude through hints.

"How to hint?" Mrs. Thatcher became interested. As long as the exercise starts, the Germans will understand. Could there be new tricks in it.

"For this military exercise, even the British and French troops in West Berlin will join. We assume that there is chaos in a certain country to the east, and we ask Britain and France for help, so of course there is a role for the West Berlin garrison, which is also for the Cold War We are all living in the same world, and we cannot always say what they and we are. Even if the enemy asks for help, for humanitarian considerations, the UK cannot back down."

The military exercise can be held later because it is only the beginning of the year, but it must be announced immediately, and it must be announced together with France.To demonstrate the common position of Britain and France.

Mitterrand don't want to always hide behind Mrs. Thatcher, stealthily stand up and stand up to prevent the unification of Germany. Britain can stand in the open, but when the French need to express their views, the French must have an attitude.

Just after New Year's Day, the first major task of the British Foreign Office is to join forces with France to jointly promote military exercises aimed at deterring German reunification. There is no problem with Britain being the villain, but France must contribute in the future.

Britain's attitude is that there is no need to conceal and there is no need to conceal it. The purpose of Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Howe's visit to France this time has also been noticed by Bonn.Cole was also very nervous about the Frenchman's statement.

"Actually, what is there to be nervous about? President Mitterrand did not live in a concentration camp in Germany." Alan Wilson assumed the responsibility of the prime minister's spokesperson and pointed out a historical fact. The current president of the country, Mitterrand, They were imprisoned in concentration camps by the Germans.

Regarding the fact that the Fourth Reich is almost about to be reborn, I believe that the French president who has lived in a concentration camp will definitely come to his own judgment. The consensus conclusions of the military exercises are aimed at contributing more to peace and unity in Europe.

"Eastern European countries are also part of Europe. We firmly believe this. The sovereignty of any country is inviolable, including the sovereignty of the GDR."

Jeffrey Howe happily promised to the flashing light, "President Mitterrand's views on this point are strikingly similar to the Prime Minister's. Military exercises can start at any time, demonstrating the solidarity of European countries on specific issues."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The specific issue is naturally the issue of German unification. On this issue, Britain and France have a very consistent view, that is, the division of Germany guarantees peace in Europe. On the matter of unification, let alone do it, you can’t even think about it. Well, before the military exercise was written, London and Paris couldn't wait to spread it out. This was obviously for the Germans.

"If the Germans are allowed to control the situation, then they will rule Eastern Europe. This is unacceptable. Other countries should join forces to prevent this from happening."

During her visit to Rome, Mrs. Thatcher made such a statement. Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti believed that the matter was not so serious. The tank army of the Soviet Union in the East Germany was not a vegetarian. The unified diplomatic war was naturally advertised in the GDR by Arnold, the spokesman for the transparent government in Berlin.

Mrs. Thatcher went all out on the issue of German unification and stopped maintaining superficial sympathy with Cole. The cornerstone of the British Empire would naturally cooperate fully. The true attitudes of Britain, France and Italy also spread among the GDR. What is real imperialism?That's it.

Citizens of the GDR may not like these real remarks, after all, this is not the free world in their eyes, and Arnold told them that this is the real free world.How can there be any fairness, "Britain's nuclear weapons are deployed in Germany, and the biggest role is to detonate them in Germany, not to stop the Soviet Union."

Middleton relayed these words in the office of the cabinet secretary, and Alan Wilson said with a little embarrassment, "You see, although this is a fact, it is not good to say it. But we guarantee freedom of speech. As an individual, this is not That's the official British attitude. The Germans will understand."

Regardless of whether the Germans understand it or not, Alan Wilson has already understood it for the Germans anyway. Middleton nodded and said, "But the United States still hopes that we will say a few words about this matter."

"The attitude of the Americans works on many things, but not on this one. Middleton, do you remember the Cod War? What Icelanders call respect.”

Allen Wilson said with a chuckle, "We have the same attitude as France, and should be taken more seriously than the delusions of the Germans."

Combined, the economy of Britain and France is half that of the United States, and Britain and France each have a population of 6000 million. Comparing with the army, navy and air force, it is not a problem to use half of the United States.

In fact, the combined military power of the two countries is far more than half that of the United States, and each has its own focus. After all, in the 70s and [-]s, Britain and France really cooperated around joint operations under his initiative.

With such a foundation, the voices of the two countries should be taken seriously. Mrs. Thatcher will find that, in fact, she really left the United States and negotiated with France, and she could live on.

In terms of how to emphasize the special relationship between Britain and the United States, the bulk of the British economy and trade is still in the European continent and the Commonwealth. There is no need to rush to hug the thigh of the United States like later generations.

Because he himself has been declared persona non grata by the Federal Republic of Germany, he wanted to discuss something, but he couldn't understand on the phone, so Albert could only come back once. Of course, the eldest son came back mainly to visit his son, this Kiwan The baby who is loved by thousands of people is named Aiden.

Albert accompanied his cabinet secretary-general's father for a walk in Hoxon Manor, and talked about the trivial matter that the British troops stationed in Germany seemed to be coldly treated by the Germans stationed there recently. The garrison opened fire. People in the Federal Republic of Germany did not have the guts to scare the Federal Republic of Germany to death. One of the components of this exercise, especially on the sea side, was the plan to blow up the oil and gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. This might allow the Germans to Clear your mind."

"It's not that there are some garrison officers who think that it seems to be too harsh on the Germans." Albert hesitated to speak, "But I am criticizing and educating such remarks."

"After staying in one place for a long time, such a mentality may indeed appear." Allen Wilson nodded and said, "But this can be corrected, and it shouldn't be a big problem. However, it is obvious that such officers and soldiers will die after their service ends. Not fit to be in the military anymore, no choice but to retire."

He remembered that during World War II, some Japanese overseas Chinese in Northeast China also felt alienated from the mainland. In just a few years, there was already a trend of division, and they did not recognize the emperor very much.

The Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany have been separated for decades, and there must be such people who have no sense of unity. There is a famous cartoon that tells the story of the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Germany from We Are a Family to That We Are The mentality of a distant relative.

What Britain needs is the mentality of distant relatives, not the mentality of a family. I hope that the Germans who want to unify will live without conscience in the future.

Coincidentally, yesterday a German reporter questioned the conscience of the spokesperson of the British Foreign Office. The British diplomat replied, "I will not show my so-called conscience everywhere."

In the past six months, the issue of German reunification has been surrounding the issue. Britain has shown outright hostility. German Chancellor Kohl is right. It is his allies who do not want German reunification, not the Soviet Union, but so what?Just like this joint military exercise, no matter what the Germans think, they just want to do it.

The Germans may not understand why they want to unify, which is related to the life and death of the British. Sophia, a Serbian, cannot understand this kind of psychology. She doesn't understand why the UK is so tough and strong against the Germans. What is it again.

"Britain is not the strongest country in the world now. Both the United States and the Soviet Union are stronger than the United Kingdom. But the difference between the United Kingdom and these two countries is that the United Kingdom will not back down when it is time to do something."

Albert explained with a wry smile, "Over the past 300 years, Britain has defeated opponents far more powerful than the opponents of the United States and the Soviet Union in the past 50 years. This time, my father strongly supported the Prime Minister's idea of ​​preventing German reunification, and it was absolutely serious. "

Take the maritime military exercise, in which the oil and gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea was attacked. This is an obvious threat to the Federal Republic of Germany, and the oil and gas in the North Sea, the United Kingdom and the Mountbatten Oil and Gas Group, have a great say. At that time, the North Sea demarcation Regarding the issue, Norway and neighboring countries have commitments to the UK.

It is now known that the Baltic Sea oil and gas pipeline and the North Sea pipeline are the main arteries of the Federal Republic of Germany's energy, and the UK may cut them off. Isn't this a threat? What is this?

"I don't believe that Cole really has such willpower." At the cabinet meeting, Alan Wilson assessed Germany's industrial structure and said, "Germany has no self-sufficiency in energy. It is only the beginning of the year. I think we can Remind the Germans to pay attention to this aspect."

Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe is preparing to start a trip to Northern Europe, and Alan Wilson volunteered, "As a politician, the Foreign Secretary will have to deal with the Germans in the future. This kind of thing that involves wind criticism is still for me, a civil servant. Better."

He didn't take the initiative to do something for the career of the foreign secretary. The reason was that Greta Garbo was ill.

In the eyes of others, the secretary-general of the cabinet is on the front line, but he knows in his heart that this is not the case. Since Norway plays a particularly important role, it is logical that Sweden, the leader of the Nordic countries, should play a role. A day later, he has already appeared in the For the hospital where Jiabao works, professional diplomats are naturally responsible for small matters related to energy.

"Don't pay attention, it depends on your age." Sitting beside the hospital bed, Alan Wilson held Garbo's hand and muttered, with anxiety and hesitation on his face.He remembered that Jiabao left this year, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared, and his whole person became bad.

"Didn't you say that I have a strong physique like an athlete?" Greta Garbo blinked and replied, "Actually, there is no such a big problem. The weather in Northern Europe is like this. Every winter, a group of people will be taken away. But I have With such good medical conditions, I believe we can overcome this difficulty."

"Of course that would be great." Alan Wilson said to himself that taking away others has nothing to do with him, but he can't take away the queen of silent films, he still has feelings, "Where's Gustav? Why doesn't he come back to look at you, Why is this child like this? What's the use of him?"

"Okay, I came here yesterday." Greta Garbo stopped the impotent rage of the man in front of her. "At this age, even if you really go to see God, it is acceptable."

Because of his age, Alan Wilson was overworked during the visit and was hospitalized in the Swedish capital. The news was sent back to Whitehall, and Middleton is currently in charge of Whitehall affairs.

Although the supreme authority is temporarily unable to preside over the work of Whitehall, the previous plan is still being implemented in an orderly manner.

The communication with Norway has achieved good results through the efforts of professional diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the original demarcation treaty, there was a clause that the interests of oil and gas in the North Sea should not run counter to the interests of the United Kingdom. Of course, this is not the only clause. Right now.

This time, the UK came to ask Norway to cooperate. The British fleet participating in the exercise had already sailed through the North Sea. The Oslo side decisively expressed the traditional friendly relationship between the two countries.After reaching this consensus, the British and Norwegian governments announced at the same time that the North Sea oil and gas pipeline will be temporarily closed for half a month due to routine maintenance. As for the closing time, it will naturally start immediately.

Facing the Federal Republic of Germany, which lacks energy, the United Kingdom has already played its cards. The first step is to close the North Sea oil and gas pipeline.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

For the Federal Republic of Germany, this was very sudden. It is only the beginning of the year, and Europe is far from being able to get rid of natural gas. The Bonn government immediately communicated with Oslo, but to no avail.

The supreme authority is still in the hospital in Stockholm, taking care of the queen of silent films, which made Greta Garbo sigh in her heart. In fact, this little man is not bad, and he should have been better to him in the past.

"Why did your eyes just now seem to see a soft rice man?" Alan Wilson accurately caught this gaze and asked directly.

"When I went to the bathroom at night, I heard from the nurse that I thought you were the nurse I hired." Greta Garbo smiled happily, raised her eyebrows and said, "Let me see if you look like me? Dear British Cabinet Secretary Long, Sir Wilson?"

"I'm not as knowledgeable as you now." Alan Wilson peeled a banana, stuffed it directly into Greta Garbo's mouth, and muttered, "Eat more, Malaya's bananas are good for people. Europe Most of the bananas in the market are provided by this British overseas territory, unlike the Eastern European market, which is provided by Indonesia."

"I know your family is the richest man in the UK. But having said that, it's surprising that the UK allows someone like you to be the cabinet secretary." Greta Garbo's mouth was stuffed with bananas, and she couldn't help breathing heavily. Swallow the banana.

"What's strange, Rockefeller has been the president of the United States." Alan Wilson said that this is not a problem, not to mention that Pamela Mountbatten led everyone to get rich together, and did not eat alone.

Talking about personal wealth is a bit small. For a key person like Alan Wilson, can his talent be measured by money?What he pursues is the self-worth of life, and he can do things from any angle. If he is unlucky to live in the Soviet Union, he will also hit hard and show no mercy.

It's not impossible for a man to just focus on banknotes, but his status has reached this point, and he always needs to pursue something. He hopes to shape the world political situation that is beneficial to Britain.

It is by no means the same as the United Kingdom in memory. Being a follower of the Americans, they call it the special relationship between Britain and the United States. The special relationship between Britain and the United States sings the praises.

The property that Alan Wilson gave to his children is definitely not fair, but he is doing his best to help, and he never thinks about leaving a point for himself, so Garbo's son Lovisa Gustav was nowhere to be seen before. , he will be so angry.

Lovisa Gustaf was forming a Swedish communications company and began to transform into a mobile phone manufacturer, which he supported before, but Alan Wilson was still very disappointed in this matter.

"Okay, I think it's not a big problem, so I told him not to come here all the time." Jia Bao comforted, "You and him are very important men in my life, and you are even more important, so be happy."

"It would be great if you could talk like this when you were young." Alan Wilson sighed, expressing that he had not received emotional care from Garbo in his life, and now he just felt a little bit.

"This time you are here on a visit. If you don't go back for a long time, there will be no problem?" Garbo didn't hear Alan Wilson say it, but he also knew it while watching TV. The news about the North Sea oil and gas pipeline, After a little thought, I knew that it should have something to do with a cabinet secretary who pretended to be sick. It was an intuitive feeling and there was no reason.

But Garbo obviously guessed right. Alan Wilson admitted that he came to Sweden through a visit, and then took sick leave to stay here. After hearing this, Garbo sighed, "It doesn't need to be like this. You don't have to be obsessed with me." , to say that 30 years ago there was still some nostalgia on the outside, but now the glory is gone."

"I'm really sick and need to be hospitalized." Alan Wilson blurted out Garbo's exclamation, although he had a physical examination every three months.At the same time, I also ask all the ladies of the same status as their wives to do the same, "Hepburn is also old, but fortunately some diseases are easy to be found. Don't let me hear bad news at this age. You are the oldest , the most worrying."

Relying on the contribution made by the supreme authority to the United Kingdom, it has saved countless patients all over the world. Why do you say that, because the CT machine was invented by him himself, and he established a foundation by taking root in British India at the beginning The medical group quickly promoted the Commonwealth countries before the colonies became independent.

Although it was plagiarism, Alan Wilson was confident. First of all, it was invented by the British. He was just a little earlier, and saved countless human beings all over the world ten years earlier.

This also allows the business of the richest woman to gain a firm foothold in medical equipment, which can be described as a win-win situation. People all over the world who are suffering from diseases should thank him, the secretary-general, for his contribution in this field. , He is really benefiting the society, so it is completely reasonable for him to speak more than God in one acre of land in the UK.

"I'm afraid you have something important to do, but it's delayed here, and your subordinates can't find you." Jiabao sighed, "I'm not driving you away."

"Professionals will naturally follow up on things. In fact, who can't do without in this world? Right, I'm here. If you don't get better, I won't go anywhere." Alan Wilson's face was full of affection for Europe's number one, but This made Garbo frown slightly, the queen of silent films really couldn't stand the hypocrisy.

But the man in front of her with the same status as her husband is like this, what can she do?Getting out of the hospital early is the best way.

Ms. Margaret of No. [-] Downing Street had the opposite impression. The man who gave her a few words of sarcasm from time to time disappeared, making the Iron Lady a little uncomfortable.

Only the female prime minister felt uncomfortable. It was just like Alan Wilson said that nothing in this world is inseparable from a person, except the love between men and women in a certain period, so he decisively chose to stay in Stockholm , instead of focusing on developments against Germany in London.

And just as he said, Norway has also taken a firm stance when it comes to issues of right and wrong such as the unification of Germany, cooperating with Britain's actions and saying no to oil and gas pipelines exported to Germany.

When one arm was cut off in terms of energy, preparations for the British-French joint military exercise had been completed and entered the implementation stage. It was divided into two parts, the direction of the Baltic Sea and the eastern border of the Federal Republic of Germany. Iron barrel of the special city of West Berlin.

Relying on the fact that the cabinet secretary had firmly bound the prevention of German unification and European monetary integration before he was hospitalized, Mrs. Thatcher is now convinced that preventing German reunification is to maintain the status of the British pound, and the status of the British pound is unquestionable. Naturally, it cannot Let Germany unify, a proper logical closed loop.

This time, the British-French joint military exercise is naturally to set an example. The offshore part is based on the fact that the oil and gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea was destroyed by unknown forces.

On land, it is assumed that the eastern neighbors are in civil strife and spread to the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. The British and French allied forces maintain the security of the Federal Republic of Germany, and at the same time counterattack the influx of refugees into the Federal Republic of Germany, because these refugees may be disguised by unknown armed personnel.

From the perspective of the Bonn government, this whole set of exercise plans can be described as very perfunctory. In the eyes of the Germans, the maritime exercises are completely British and French navies. A threat to the energy of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The exercise plan on land is even more nonsense. The British troops stationed in Germany are going to take tough measures against the influx of refugees into the Federal Republic of Germany?

The largest neighboring country to the east of the Federal Republic of Germany is the Democratic Republic of Germany, and the focus of this land exercise is that the British and French coalition forces warned the Democratic Republic of Germany that even if the Democratic Germany is in turmoil and rushes to cross the border without permission, only the British will be waiting. Army and French bullets?

And these two exercises, no matter whether they are at sea or on land, the Federal Republic of Germany cannot stop them. On land, there are still three occupying forces in the Federal Republic of Germany.And on the sea?The development of the Federal Republic of Germany's navy within the framework of NATO was restricted, and the Navy of the Federal Republic of Germany was weak and could not do any effective response at all.

The Royal Navy and the French Navy each dispatched two aircraft carriers. Even the Baltic Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy had to be prepared, not to mention the Federal Republic of Germany.

After 45 years, the Germans who had forgotten about World War II once again remembered the reality of the Federal Republic of Germany. Now Germany is still under occupation and essentially cannot resist anything.The German government once thought that as long as it did not resist the United States, it could live in peace.

But this time the joint military exercise between Britain and France shows that it is not a question of not resisting the United States, nor can Britain, France and Germany.British public opinion focused on the land exercise area reported by the West Berlin military base. Before the exercise, Britain had notified the GDR government and hoped that the SED government would exercise restraint.

The GDR government expressed its understanding. It would be too bad for the GDR government not to take this opportunity to promote that the Federal Republic of Germany is a NATO puppet, and to be shit on its neck.And there is no need for the GDR to promote this, the British themselves say so.

The British economic advisers in Berlin, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Germany, took a day off as a group, boarded a tall building close to the Berlin Wall, held a beer and saluted the Royal Air Force pilots in West Berlin, as if applauding this military exercise. Scenes with decisive significance are naturally selected as the headlines for a reason.

"Gentlemen, long live the friendship between Britain and Germany." Arnold held a large beer glass and shouted to his colleagues across the road, and drank the beer across the road. The citizens of Berlin in the GDR could not help but frown.

The first thousand and 710 chapters deal with the Soviet Union

The sound waves brought by the Typhoon fighter jets made the British consultants who were holding beer applaud loudly, and the wind and waves of the Tiger gunship made the gentlemen cheer even more.

"This time, the Germans in the west can sober up." Arnold drank happily, and smiled at the accompanying economic advisers, "I heard that the Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany signed an agreement a few years ago, which involved some standards. Unification, there will be a freeway system with no speed limit, right?"

"Secretary-General, today we just have a few casual drinks and stop driving. Safety is still very important." An unattractive man persuaded him. This person was not Arnold's subordinate, but was born in Rhodesia in charge of Arnold's department. Safety.

"Safety is of course the top priority." Arnold nodded. "In order to avoid accidents, how about we borrow a few tanks from the Soviets, and armored vehicles are also fine."

Since he presided over the privatization reform, Arnold thought he had a good relationship with the local garrison, and he also paid attention to the immigration of Volga Germans to the East Germany. He really valued the friendship between Britain and Germany within a certain range.

But only within a certain range, at a higher level, he, like his supremely authoritative father, was firmly opposed to German unification.
