British civil servant

The departments involved in the African strategy in Whitehall all know that Supreme Authority is going to play a big game, and they are going to really start from the position of strength and kill all the supporters of the Soviet Union in North Africa.

In essence, this can be called a preview of the upheaval in Eastern Europe. Alan Wilson is preparing to subvert three countries at the same time. This can be called the upheaval in North Africa, which is why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been preparing for such a long time.

Since Mengistu seized power, there has been a small-scale civil war in Ethiopia. In essence, he is a military government, and naturally he will not be merciful. However, with the military support of the Soviet Union, the rebels are mainly suppressed.

In a dilapidated mosque in the city of Awasa, the original white walls have turned yellow, and many parts of the mosque have also seen wall dust fall off.Around the main hall of the mosque.Large pieces of bricks and fences have fallen down, and there are traces of burning everywhere.Judging from the scale of the ruins of the collapsed wall, this should have been a very magnificent mosque.

The wall on the edge, and the corpses lying on the ground, it is obvious that a catastrophe has just passed here, and this is exactly the case, Mengistu’s troops have just left, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the tragedy in front of him immediately attracts attention. Attracting the reporter's attention, he quickly recorded the tragic situation in front of him with a video camera, wept bitterly, and then ran away with the video camera in his arms.

Soon the news of the Ethiopian Mengistu regime’s brutal persecution of the Peace believers was widely spread in the Gulf countries. At this time, the British Foreign Office also visited and talked about including but not limited to Ethiopia, but in fact, the experience of the Peace believers in the entire northeast of Africa. , I hope everyone has the money to contribute money and strength, and the church members are family members.

This time, the British Foreign Office, of course, cannot expect the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, countries that can only contribute money, and are also preparing to unite with Arab military powers. Egypt and Iraq are both within the scope of British contact.

King Faisal II of the Kingdom of Iraq attached great importance to Britain's request, and at the same time he also listened to Britain's suggestion that the Iraqi navy should help the British in solidarity with Eritrea.

"Dear Your Majesty, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet sends my regards to you. After several years of war, the Secretary-General has always been concerned about the situation of the Kingdom of Iraq. Now that the war has just stopped, I shouldn't bother you, but the Royal Navy can indeed solve the British situation. It’s a big problem. In addition, based on the current situation, His Majesty the King has the ability to lead the Arab countries and exert diplomatic pressure on Sudan. Once all the Arab countries break off diplomatic relations with Sudan, it will definitely cause a huge shock.”

"That's no problem. I still have to thank Britain for its diplomatic efforts during the truce." Faisal II readily agreed, saying that it was up to him to contact the Arab countries and break off diplomatic relations with Sudan.

At this point, the preparations to put pressure on Sudan are ready. A few days later, with 70 troops in hand, King Faisal II, the king of the Arab military power, announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Sudan. This is just the beginning, like dominoes Like a collapse, it immediately had a herd effect, and the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait followed suit and announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Sudan.

The first thousand and 660 chapters of the sanction package

After the severance of diplomatic relations between Jordan and Sudan, North Africa came next. The Kingdom of Egypt issued a diplomatic note, slamming the Khartoum regime, including but not limited to changing the beliefs of the Arabs, and so on.

The Kingdom of Egypt and the Kingdom of Libya broke off diplomatic relations with Sudan successively. At this time, the only Arab countries that still maintain diplomatic relations with Sudan are Yemen and Syria.

Although Yemen and Syria can be regarded as Arab brothers, they obviously cannot help the current situation. Saudi Arabia's severance of diplomatic relations has become the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel. It really made Sudan feel unprecedented isolation, and the world has changed. The deterrent power of the Soviet Union can no longer provide guarantees for pro-Soviet countries, especially the pro-Soviet countries in Africa.

On this day, Alan Wilson was spending his weekends. He watched a masterpiece of Hong Kong movies, the movie called Blood Droplet, with great interest, and took the time to answer the call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "I will go there later."

Only the last point is left. I watched Yongzheng, who was blackened into carbon during the era of Hong Kong movies, being killed by Lu Siniang. The supreme authority stood up and turned off the video recorder. In his eyes, the three pro-Soviet countries in Northeast Africa can be regarded as one. As a whole, there is no need to specifically distinguish who comes first.

If this area of ​​less than 400 million square kilometers were placed in Europe, it would be larger than the area of ​​Eastern Europe except the Soviet Union. Except for the Soviet Union, the total area of ​​Eastern European countries would be less than 200 million square kilometers. The Horn of Africa The three countries are almost three times the size of Eastern European countries.

The United Arab countries should deal with Sudan, Britain itself mainly puts pressure on Ethiopia, which has the most complicated domestic situation, and the remaining Somalia, it is best if they can defect, if they insist.The big deal is to let go of Somalia first. Anyway, Somalia is the smallest of the three countries. British sea power can clean up this coastal country without breaking a sweat.

"Sanctions on the Mengistu regime." Coming to Whitehall, Alan Wilson informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the next steps, "Through the United Nations resolution to impose sanctions on Ethiopia. I will discuss this matter with the Prime Minister in a while and notify the ambassador to the United Nations first." .”

After instructing the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson walked directly to No. [-] Downing Street. At this time, the Prime Minister was having lunch with Mr. Thatcher, and was very impatient with the interruption of the unexpected visitor.

"Honey, don't keep the cabinet secretary waiting too long." Mrs. Thatcher expressed her support for his wife, and Mrs. Thatcher nodded apologetically, "You know, the Secretary-General of Whitehall is far away More than any opponent I've come across."

Alan Wilson waited for the Prime Minister to appear with his hands in his trouser pockets, without wasting any time, hoping to implement sanctions against Ethiopia, nominally on the grounds of human rights over sovereignty.

"I want to know if this is effective." Mrs. Thatcher was very interested in showing her face on the international stage after the start of her second term, and immediately replied with great interest.

"A few years ago, there was a series of famines in Ethiopia, which coincided with the death of Brezhnev. Although Mengistu could rely on the army to tide over the difficulties to a certain extent, the low-intensity civil war has never stopped. Ethiopia's economy is still very fragile now. Yes, if broad sanctions can be launched, and pressure is applied through neighboring countries, I believe that this country will soon be plunged into turmoil."

"Of course there is a price. The famine that has just subsided may return, causing millions of deaths, but everything is worth it for freedom."

Alan Wilson's tone was as objective and neutral as ever, and he did not conceal the consequences of extensive sanctions. In his eyes, these were all small scenes. Many years ago in British India, he personally promoted the more exciting ones. You see now Isn't India doing well?Heaven has given great responsibility to everyone, and there must be a price to pay first...

Although Ethiopia is a water tower in East Africa, it is actually not important in the eyes of the supreme authority, let alone a battleground for military strategists. It just happened to be chosen and felt that this country is suitable for trouble, that's all.

"This will definitely require the cooperation of the United States." Mrs. Thatcher nodded. With the help of the United States, the sanctions will take effect faster.

The grievance of being interrupted for lunch has not been eliminated, and the Prime Minister still holds a grudge. He immediately expressed the hope that for the sake of the overall situation of the special relationship between Britain and the United States, he hoped that the Secretary-General of the Cabinet would make a trip for the country, which could also show the sincerity of the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and took a deep look at the Iron Lady, nodded and agreed, because this matter should not be difficult to win with Reagan, the anti-Soviet demon.

Why choose Africa?The most basic reason is that Alan Wilson believes that this continent, which is generally only stronger than Antarctica in terms of strategic position, is easier to do?

The walking British-American special relationship set off directly, and soon he arrived in Washington, and was left hanging for two days. Alan Wilson guessed that Reagan was repeatedly harassed by him because of the amnesty of illegal immigrants. In the final analysis, Reagan, like Iron Maiden, is very vengeful.

But with his own daughter Cheryl taking him around, Alan Wilson's life is not boring, he even has time to molested the old American lady.Even if we seldom meet each other, many friends have families of their own, but after all, there is an unforgettable memory, and the favor of Barbie dolls is so forgotten?

Otherwise, we should form good karma and treat our friends better, so that we won’t be unable to find a temporary place to stay at critical moments. Lana Turner was overjoyed, "It's rare to see you in such a mess."

"Huh? Don't destroy your image in my heart. I still have a good impression of you." Alan Wilson has no self-consciousness as a guest, but is proud of his friends all over the world. "I don't think it is possible for Ronald to hang out I have been for too long, nothing more than opposing his amnesty for immigrants."

This kind of political anecdote was said by Alan Wilson without any scruples. The fundamental reason is of course that the supreme authority thinks that he is right. It is purely different in political opinions. It would be pure stupidity for Reagan to affect the special relationship between Britain and the United States because of this incident. up.

He himself also thinks that Reagan is stronger than the top of the map. After all, most of Reagan's various behaviors played a negative role after the new century.

Just like Alan Wilson's self-assessment, Reagan is just a small shoe for him, so as not to sever decades of friendship.

Under normal circumstances, civil servants cannot see the president, but because the relationship between the two is irreversible, Alan Wilson, as the secretary general of the cabinet, can talk to Reagan.

Of course, this was limited to when Reagan was in the country. If he participated in any international conference, Mrs. Thatcher had to come forward to reach a common position with Reagan.

You don't have to be polite, Alan Wilson came up with a grand blueprint that he formulated in the name of the United Kingdom to clear the three pro-Soviet African countries in the northeast corner of Africa, covering nearly 400 million square kilometers.

With an area of ​​nearly 400 million square kilometers, no one in the world can say that this number is insignificant. Even the United States is considered to have a large land and abundant resources, which is almost half of the United States.

Reagan gasped and lamented that the old imperialism was invincible. Although he also focused on improving the Vietnam War and the damaged self-confidence of the United States after he came to power, he just hit hard in Grenada and Nicaragua.

Originally, Gaddafi should be used to show that the United States is invincible, but Libya is still a kingdom in this world, and there is no place to be a hero after looking around.

Looking at the United Kingdom, it directly formulated a subversive plan for three countries, which can be described as a big deal. Obviously, the United Kingdom is much more aggressive than him, a hardliner who has little advantage in the United States.

For a while, Reagan's evaluation of Britain rose by more than one level. Britain still has a powerful opposition party, the Labor Party.

If Alan Wilson knew that after Reagan saw the plan, he suddenly had unrealistic expectations for Britain, a yellow flower of yesterday, and he would definitely regret being late.A hardliner like Mrs Thatcher?

When he came up with the plan at No. [-] Downing Street, he didn't see where the Iron Lady was tough.

For Reagan, anti-Soviet was the most important thing. He even wanted to defeat the Soviet Union during his tenure. Of course, most people and even his staff believed that the president was dreaming.

"Very good." Reagan did not hide his interest at all, and even directly found many reasons to show his legitimacy. When the issue of human rights came out of his mouth, it proved that Britain and the United States had reached an agreement on this issue. consensus.

"But will this delay the nuclear arms reduction negotiations signed by the two countries?" Of course Reagan wanted to give the Soviet Union a big blow, but Europe was still very concerned about the nuclear negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States.

"Dear President, isn't this a good opportunity to test?" Alan Wilson replied bluntly, "Only by starting from the position of strength can we test the real bottom line of the Soviet Union."

What a joke, just know that there is no bottom line at the top of the map, otherwise Alan Wilson would not dare to formulate such a plan. He was also afraid of being slapped in the face when other Soviet leaders were.

Now that President Reagan has given his approval, the next step is logical. Under the guise of human rights, the United Kingdom and the United States jointly promoted an unprecedented severe sanctions against Ethiopia, a country that has just ended a famine and has a very fragile economy.

The effect is immediate. The smaller the country, the more unable it is to face such extensive sanctions. What's more, the public opinion attack on the Mengistu regime will begin immediately.

"Do you want to set up a no-fly zone?" Alan Wilson thought hard, is it too early, or come to the United States and take out the full package directly.

In the end, he decided to wait and see and see how powerful this package is. Alan Wilson turned around and returned to London to report on the results of his visit.

The first thousand and 660 chapters and two main attacks and feints

Under the bipolar structure, there will be many ridiculous things, such as the people trained by the United States who have established a pro-Soviet country.

Sudanese leader Nimeiri is such an example. This is not just an isolated case. There are several similar examples in Africa.

However, Sudan's pro-Soviet status is questionable. In the eyes of different countries, socialism has different standards. The Soviet Union recognized the nature of Sudan, but a certain big country did not.

But who would take the standards of a certain big country seriously? Of course, the free world also recognizes the standards of the Soviet Union, and naturally regards Sudan as the target that should be dealt with.

So far, Alan Wilson has also drawn up quite a lot of power, supporting Britain's strategy for the Horn of Africa, and those who believe in peace religion to win over Arab countries. For example, Ethiopia's religion is not so obvious, so he personally goes into battle and exerts pressure to subvert it.

"If the changes in Africa become a reality, it will greatly enhance our confidence in the face of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson vowed, and the anti-Soviet sign is quite stable.

No one will assert that Eastern Europe will fall apart in just a few years. Whether it is domestic or this visit to the United States, Alan Wilson already understands that even Reagan thinks that the British plan is very risky.

Mrs. Thatcher, who was listening to the report, was also very satisfied. Although the Iron Lady was not tough enough, but since she had already taken action, the essence of the iron baby still had the upper hand, not to mention that even the United States supported Britain's African strategy. This strategy is considered to be a good way to squeeze the strategic space of the Soviet Union, so what else is there to say?

"Before the nuclear negotiations in the second half of the year, we have enough time to look forward to the achievement of the goal."

Alan Wilson also gave the Iron Lady confidence. This kind of thing is very simple. Britain is also a veteran imperialist. If it is a colony, you may have to think more about it. Like this kind of independent country, Britain is not afraid of backlash against itself.

This is a fact that is not very friendly to most countries in the world. The independence of the colonies has solved a lot of troubles for the United Kingdom. Now that similar subversion is being carried out, the United Kingdom will not be responsible.

Take this sanction as an example, it is something recognized by the United Nations. Even if Ethiopia’s difficulties arise, the five permanent members are all responsible, and the responsibility is not the United Kingdom’s own.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good. Even the Soviet Union has no objection. It can be seen that the leader of the map is of good quality. Mrs. Thatcher is still stubborn, and the Soviet Union is full of regrets in terms of protest.

After talking about what the United Kingdom is advancing, Alan Wilson took out the application form for the Mir space station, expressing his hope that the Soviet space station could be used for scientific research. This is an application submitted by the Royal Interplanetary Society. After landing on the moon, the space station became The focus of the space war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

At present, the Soviet Union still has the upper hand. Whether it is admitted or not, the fact is that the Mir space station is the first space station that can operate for a long time, and its significance is still very great.

"Can't we not rely on the Soviet Union?" Mrs. Thatcher suddenly became upset. It was not good to beg anyone, but she even begged the Soviet Union. "We can study together with the United States. The technology of the United States is more sophisticated."

"Ten years later? The efficiency of the United States has always been a problem." Alan Wilson flatly refused. He really has no confidence in the efficiency of the United States, even if the Star Wars plan is loud.

In his memory, the Mir space station has long been the only space station that can be used by humans, waiting for the United States to launch its own space station?That's something to wait for.Anything can distinguish between capitalism and capitalism, but science is better not to do this.

Alan Wilson is still very good at persuading, and he immediately came up with a set of rhetoric, "Many people think that the Mir space station is not true, but is actually a part of a combat space station. In fact, the Royal Interstellar Society also has similar doubts. After all, the hostility between the two countries is still very strong, we must find out whether the peace of the Mir is worthy of its name, which requires professionals to see what it is like inside the Mir space station, and only in this way can this distrust be dispelled.”

"So at the meeting, we discussed the idea of ​​applying to the Soviet Union to enter the space station." Allen Wilson advocated the Soviet threat theory with righteous words.

"Space City [-], right?" Margaret Thatcher laughed, referring to a famous British film series a few years ago, "Well, I don't think the Soviet Union would agree, you can ask .”

Turning around, a call was made to No. [-] Downing Street. Alan Wilson happily reported to the Prime Minister that the Soviets agreed and were willing to adopt extensive international cooperation on the establishment of the space station.

In fact, as long as Mrs Thatcher does not discuss the unemployment population, the Prime Minister is not unable to communicate, only this issue cannot be discussed, and if he talks about it, he will slap the Prime Minister in the face.

The trade union movement in Britain was mainly derived from the unemployment problem.Under her predecessor Labour's Callaghan government, the number of unemployed in the UK was as high as one million.According to this, Mrs Thatcher often ridiculed Prime Minister Callaghan as an "unemployed prime minister" before she came to power.

Once upon a time, during the years of her administration, not only did the unemployment rate not improve, but it kept rising.

It can be said that in any year of Mrs Thatcher's tenure, the number of unemployment exceeded that of Callaghan's period. The Iron Lady laughed at herself, claiming that Britain's first problem is to solve the problem of inflation, and that at the beginning, inflation should be brought down It does mean increasing unemployment, but there is no alternative.Under such circumstances, the Thatcher government was not in a hurry to solve this perennial problem.

Up to now, whoever dares to talk about unemployment is disloyal to Mrs. Thatcher. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Alan Wilson, the number of unemployed people has decreased by nearly 300% from the historical figure of 30.00 million.However, if you want to push it below a million, this is not something you can do in a short time.

Alan Wilson still wants to support the Prime Minister, because the Prime Minister’s policy is very clear, to reduce the burden on capitalists as much as possible, keep their funds in the UK, and allow them to develop freely and without restrictions. Deserves full support, as for the unemployed?Anyway, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet himself is not unemployed.

All this is not enough, Mrs. Thatcher held a cabinet meeting again to discuss the tax reduction policy for the second term, and the inheritance tax and personal income tax should be reduced again.

While Britain is planning to cut taxes again, the Mengistu regime, which has suffered severe sanctions, is asking for help from the big brother of the Soviet Union. For countries with insufficient size, the effect of comprehensive sanctions has always been immediate. The world is so big, and the smaller the country, the easier it is to be replaced. Ethiopia, which has been sanctioned for import and export, has encountered difficulties a month later.

In fact, there are no difficulties in most places. After all, as long as they lie flat enough, the sky will not fall, and places that are backward enough can even be immune to sanctions, but problems will soon appear in big cities, and Mengistu can ignore the vast rural areas, but instability in big cities can lead to political instability.

Encountering this kind of predicament, Mengistu of course remembered the assistance of Big Brother. No matter what the situation on the map is, now that the pro-Soviet regime has reached a critical moment, it must not be abandoned.

The Soviet Union replied, sympathizing with the situation of the Mengistu regime, and also hoped to tide over the difficulties, but the best solution now is to tighten their belts, which is essentially to die.

With our personnel like Yakovlev, there is no secret about this kind of thing, and the free world soon knew the truth, and Yakovlev's value of the united front increased steadily for a while.

Allen Wilson felt that such a person should be treated kindly. As long as he didn't speak loudly, he would never betray this traitor who could be ranked alongside Peter III in the history of the Soviet Union or even the entire Russian history.

In fact, the bottom line of Ethiopia was abandoned. It was known by Allen Wilson and naturally by the United States. Although the United States joined the African strategy later, it was extremely concerned. After all, the biggest victory during Reagan's tenure was about to appear. Now, in terms of sanctions, the United States has replaced the United Kingdom and asked European countries and nearby developing countries to make joint efforts.

As for Alan Wilson, he doesn't mind the United States' efforts, because the layout of Kenya and South Sudan has been around for many years, and no matter how hard the United States contributes, it is impossible to drive the United Kingdom away.

The reason why the African strategy is shared with the United States is because he pays more attention to the penetration of the Balkans, and the main target is Yugoslavia, which also relies on the help of his in-law Grace.

Europe is what matters. If the United States invests a lot of energy in Africa, it can also serve as a cover for the infiltration of Yugoslavia.

Just when countries thought that the Horn of Africa would become the next point of contention, many patriotic South Koreans who had already made a fortune started their journey back to their hometowns. Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia, of course, cannot be left alone. Outside of Albania, Hoxha also died of illness like Tito.

The death of a political strongman in the Balkans naturally cannot let go of the opportunity. When the new style of thinking in Moscow becomes more violent, Allen Wilson has to work harder.

I believe that Reagan, who has been attracted at this time, also does not believe that Alan Wilson's strategy of Africanization involving three countries and nearly 400 million square kilometers is just a piece of cake.

Then began to concentrate on promoting the penetration of the Balkans. Who gave Britain such a card as Rhodesia? As for the strategy of the Horn of Africa, it can be used to highlight the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Like the Soviet Union, some club-like things began to appear in Yugoslavia and Albania, and took root in Yugoslavia's special enterprise groups according to local conditions.Alan Wilson is very optimistic about the national environment where a bunch of state-owned enterprises such as Yugoslavia are assembled.

How come the first thousand 660 chapters are only [-]%?

According to Allen Wilson, Yugoslavia is a corporate republic controlled by different nations.

Alan Wilson is no stranger to large enterprises, because he lived in a state-owned enterprise in his previous life, and the other third of the population in his hometown is a local government, so he understands the common consciousness within some enterprises from a small perspective.

However, the two points belong to different nationalities, which is a bit out of the category, especially the population of Serbs, which barely exceeds the sum of Croatia and Slovenia.

Serbs are far less than half of the population of Yugoslavia, but they are the largest ethnic group in the territory and live in a wide range of places.

The subsequent civil war in Yugoslavia was the process in which Serbia, a major nation far from being a major nation, was driven back to Serbia with the support of all parties.

"Let me tell you the truth, Yugoslavia is at risk of disintegration." Alan Wilson was not polite, and explained the current situation in Yugoslavia to Grace. Once a political strongman like Tito dies, Yugoslavia will easily step into civil war under the interference of foreign forces. , "It depends on who is the ultimate winner."

"You might as well make your words clearer." Grace hurriedly urged after listening to the words of Alan Wilson. Although he had been talking about being stripped naked for a long time, he never denied that hundreds of thousands of bereaved dogs were killed by the people in front of him. Those who have been saved have no supreme authority, and they are all rotten to the bone.

"Similar things have not happened before. For example, the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I brought huge troubles to Europe. The more modern society is, the less resistant it is to the impact of refugees. The development of the Yugoslav republics is not Balance. If you are provoked by various forces, such as Germany, maybe even Austria, it is not unheard of. If this kind of scenario arises, how will you in Rhodesia deal with yourself? If disunity spreads to Rhodesia, After all, it’s only been 40 years since we parted.”

Allen Wilson earnestly put his words into his shoes and thought about it, the Slavs in Rhodesia managed to be like a family in a country surrounded by blacks in all directions. If there was a civil war in Yugoslavia, the Slavs in Rhodesia watched TV every day. Opening is the Yugoslav Civil War?

Of course, Alan Wilson has another meaning. He is now trying to prevent the reunification of Germany. Of course, he cannot allow Germany to become a power again through the Yugoslav Civil War. Europe does not allow a country as powerful as Germany to exist.

Croatia and Slovenia, which are close to Austria, have long been ruled by the Holy Roman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the eyes of the Germans, they are their own people. Once these economically developed republics become independent, the biggest beneficiary will be Germany.

"You want Yugoslavia to live like the Austro-Hungarian Empire." Grace nodded to himself, "So borrow those of us in Africa and make advance arrangements now."

"Isn't it bad like the Austro-Hungarian Empire?" Elder Alan Wilson replied, "At any rate, it is one of the five great powers in Europe. Living in a big country will have more dignity. Don't forget, The result of Europe being broken into one place, the Hungarians can play it again. If the United States dominates the free world and wins, Yugoslavia will inevitably disintegrate, but we in the UK don’t see it that way. As long as the UK and Yugoslavia can establish a special relationship Adopt the attitude of the United States of unconditional surrender."
