British civil servant

Alan Wilson took a sip of coffee and agreed with his successor, "So at least the relationship with France should not be too bad, and we must prevent the Atlantic faction from going crazy from time to time. But I think, even if I have retired by then, in this kind of Maybe it can still help you.”

Middleton actually has a background, which is why he has received the care of the supreme authority and has been promoted rapidly. This background is that Middleton's father is a veteran of World War II, and he is actually a family with a lordship.

This background is not strong. After all, there are thousands of families in the UK like this. Middleton’s father divorced his mother after returning from the army, and her mother went to the United States.

After investigating his life and growth experience, Allen Wilson promoted a group of civil servants with similar backgrounds. He didn’t expect you to be anti-American, but obviously you couldn’t get close if you were pro-American. From generation to generation, he can be regarded as trying his best.

Alan Wilson suggested that at this time, we should go abroad to inspect the work. After all, after taking office, we can get acquainted with colleagues from all over the world. Middleton accepted this suggestion and set the first stop in Berlin, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Germany. go elsewhere.

"Is this not very good?" Alan Wilson pretended to be modest, thinking that your purpose is too obvious, and you clearly know that my son works in Berlin.

"Sir, in fact, the purpose of my doing this is the same as yours. I hope that a reliable government will be passed on from generation to generation." Middleton replied in a tone that did not shy away from relatives, "Based on the national interest, this It's all I should do."

"Well, you need to show decisiveness in front of everyone." Alan Wilson didn't stop him, and let Middleton play freely.

Middleton set off, and Alan Wilson pinched his fingers for a moment, and said with a smile, "If I remember the time correctly, the time for German reunification has come, hehe."

Apparently, Britain's targeted efforts had succeeded in preventing German reunification. Not only that, he remembered that Kohl had been in power in Germany until [-] in history.

The German Chancellor has a characteristic. Although the country is a parliamentary system, many prime ministers have been in power for a long time, unlike countries with a general parliamentary system, which are generally in constant internal struggle.

It's a pity that Kohl, the chancellor who still has eight years to rule, was directly disgraced this time and had to recuperate due to physical reasons, leaving the throne of German chancellor.

A few hours later, Middleton had appeared in Berlin and expressed his closeness to Arnold who came to greet him. The two talked and laughed, as if they had known each other for a long time.

The first thousand and seventy-seven chapters were also allies

"Sir came to Berlin, there must be a lot of things to be busy, I don't know what I can do." Arnold said very kindly, "I believe that Whitehall is very concerned about the progress of the privatization of the GDR. I would like to Unreserved details."

"These things are of course to be concerned about. We are more concerned about the new atmosphere of the Democratic Germany. You know, Arnold. For many British people, Soviet cameras and Chinese film are also childhood memories of the public."

Middleton also said enthusiastically, "I hope that the Democratic Germany can also provide the goods that Britain desperately needs."

"Just as the plains of Russia are our cornfields, Canada and the Baltic our forests, Australia our pastures, Peru our silver mines, South Africa and Australia our gold mines, India our tea plantations , the East Indies are our sugar cane, coffee, spice plantations."

After listening to Arnold, Middleton corrected, "It seems that North America has been forgotten, but it doesn't matter, technology has advanced, and there are still many places that can play a role, just like Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are our oil depots, Rhodesia is our granary , Australia is our mine, Malaya is our industrial base, and the GDR is ours?"

"It's also an industrial base." Arnold laughed, "The secretary-general of the cabinet hopes that we will build the GDR into a dumping base facing Eastern Europe, just like Malaya's role in Southeast Asia. It will even radiate the entire South China Sea, obviously. Now the GDR cannot become such a role, and it still needs to continue to work hard.”

"I don't worry about your work." Middleton patted Arnold's shoulder and said, "In fact, the Secretary-General has always placed high hopes on you, and of course I do too."

Arnold nodded and asked what his father was doing, and Middleton didn't hide it, "The secretary-general is holding a meeting of economic experts and introducing an economic concept called real purchasing power. The application of ppp purchasing power is an old concept of Swedish economists. But we have to recognize the value of some of it. This is very suitable for the economic evaluation of Eastern European countries."

PPP purchasing power parity has existed for a long time, but it is true that it has not been taken seriously for a long time. After all, the concept of GDP is only more than 20 years old. Now that the Cold War has ended and Europe is no longer a friend or foe, this concept is very suitable to be introduced to appease Take a look at the fragile self-esteem of Eastern European countries.

Allen Wilson discovered the huge value of maintaining stability from PPP purchasing power parity, but this set of concepts actually has loopholes, that is, it will greatly magnify the economic capabilities of countries with large populations.

This depends on the concept of PPP purchasing power parity. Whether other countries have accepted it or not, different countries will adopt different attitudes. They use it when they want to maintain stability, but they don’t believe it in their hearts.

For example, a big country and a famous big country have shown different attitudes towards ppp purchasing power parity in different time periods.

The difference is that after surpassing Japan, a certain big country soon stopped taking ppp purchasing power parity seriously. It seems that the famous big country can’t get rid of the concept of ppp purchasing power parity in a short time. This concept can at least make the famous big country like this thing.

At this stage, Alan Wilson wants to use this concept of economics in the political field, which is actually to maintain the stability of Europe. As for the huge amplitude effect on populous countries, he can't take care of it now.

"If the Mexican peso halved relative to the dollar, then GDP in dollars would also be halved. However, this does not mean that Mexicans are getting poorer. If income and price levels in pesos remain the same , and imported goods are not important to the standard of living of Mexicans, then the depreciation of the currency will not bring about a deterioration in the quality of life of Mexicans. This problem can be avoided if purchasing power parity is used.”

There must be an economic gap between Eastern Europe and Western Europe in Europe. No one denies this. This concept can make the economic gap in Europe not so large, so that it will not impact the psychological expectations of most Western European people. Let’s compare it now , to send a signal to this economic reform.

Regarding the position of leading Europe's future economy, the United Kingdom must do its part, although French President Mitterrand certainly disagrees, thinking that France is the country that leads Europe.

The two countries also have differences on how to lead Europe. Alan Wilson, listening to France, seems to want to carry out the eastward expansion of the European Community. Isn't this another opportunity to practice the special relationship between Britain and the United States?

The United Kingdom firmly opposes the eastward expansion of the European Community. Anyway, it is impossible to achieve it in a short period of time. It hastened to hit the French with a signal flare on the head to make the Americans pay attention to this rebellious boy.

The Secretary-General of the Cabinet has no one who understands the economy better than me, and the European-American trade war is still at an impasse, and the French are firmly opposed to making concessions on agricultural and animal husbandry subsidies.Mrs. Thatcher called the Secretary-General of the Cabinet who pretended to be an economic expert, and asked for the opinions of professionals.

"I have no objection. The conditions proposed by the French were exchanged by the British at the beginning."

Alan Wilson shook his head, and heard the Prime Minister ask what the specific conditions are, "It is the scope of application of the trade treaty. The French must count the territory of North Africa. At the same time, the British conditions are similar, but because of the specific industry, the exchange provided The conditions are different. For example, Newfoundland was added to the fisheries agreement by the UK, and Rhodesia was added to the minerals and energy. The UK is at a disadvantage when it comes to commodity tariffs, and the Malaya part was not negotiated at the beginning.”

It's normal if we don't talk about it. First of all, Malaya really has nothing to do with the framework of the European Community. If the French even agree to this point, it is basically the same as my Qing Dynasty.Of course, Britain still allowed France to give Malaya the same treatment for some commodities, which cannot be counted on.

When it comes to agriculture and animal husbandry, Britain can be said to have suffered some losses. Since Britain has suffered losses, if Britain helps the United States to compromise with the European Community under the current conditions, isn't that right?

The United Kingdom didn't even negotiate its own conditions at the beginning. If it helped the United States achieve its goal, would the previous agreement signed by the United Kingdom have to be reconsidered?

"It seems to make sense." Mrs. Thatcher nodded, and she touched on another topic, "What do you think about the popularity of Prince Alexander in Yugoslavia?"

"Of course I'm happy to see it come true. He was born in the UK. From the perspective of the UK, at least he will not object to him having a certain influence. As for the perspective of Yugoslavia? He is also a consensus of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia There is not much consensus.”

Of course, even if this is the case, Alan Wilson feels that it is still unlikely to restore the monarchy, unless the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom have a common position on this matter.

This common position, akin to the surrender of the Soviet Union to Britain with all remaining spheres of influence, was no easy feat.

On the Lithuanian issue, it was reported that the top Soviet leaders were planning to use force to solve the problem. Of course Mrs. Thatcher opposed it. Alan Wilson agreed that the use of force was extremely stupid. If you don’t come, then order the Soviet army to conduct military exercises in Lithuania, and if it doesn’t work, surround Lithuania with landmines, which Grace did in Rhodesia, and the effect is very good.”

"Should I say that it's a good thing you're not from the Soviet Union?" Mrs. Thatcher rolled her eyes. "What bargaining chips do we have to prevent the Soviet Union from solving the problem by force?"

"Except for scolding them with newspapers, there is essentially no bargaining chip." Alan Wilson was not embarrassed. This was asked by the Prime Minister. Of course, he could only tell the truth. Otherwise, Mrs. Thatcher thought about it, what can Britain do?In fact, she couldn't think of it.

So sometimes, Alan Wilson hates these politicians very much. He obviously has nothing to do, and he still wants to go up?Isn't that asking for trouble?

"However, I also agree that you can follow the progress of the matter secretly, but there is no need to express the British position at the official level. After all, it seems that the Soviet Union has the upper hand, and we have nothing to do."

It’s okay to give money, but you can’t give too much. What the United States pays, Britain gives one-tenth of it. Public opinion can pay attention to it. As for other things, everything has a price, including justice.

"I suggest that we tentatively communicate with France and communicate with Moscow to see if the West Berlin garrisons of the two countries can appear in Berlin." Alan Wilson said that he can pretend that Britain is busy, and of course we must act together with France, so that There is an alibi.

"In order to show that we have no time to pay attention to Lithuania, so the British army should appear in the capital of the GDR?" Mrs. Thatcher couldn't help laughing. How did the other party think of bombing Warsaw?

"After all, we were allies in World War II and the Soviet Union. Isn't it okay to celebrate the end of the Cold War? As long as Moscow agrees, there is nothing that cannot be successful. There are not many reasons. It is not impossible to celebrate the October Revolution. The key is the British army. It should appear on the land of the GDR. The last visit by the prime minister was not enough. Once our military power can appear in the GDR. There will be one more way to prevent the reunification of Germany, and the military power is still reliable."

"By concentrating power on the GDR, we can avoid having to resort to acts that widely offend the citizens of the West Germany, as they did during the last energy crisis."

"Don't you offend the Federal Republic of Germany?" Mrs. Thatcher raised her eyebrows. "Well, if you can convince the Soviets."

Since Mrs. Thatcher did not object, Alan Wilson would not mind using some light industrial goods to buy the Soviet Union. To be honest, there is also a backlog of goods in Malaya. It depends on the opening up of a certain big country, otherwise the dividends of technology transfer would have been eaten up long ago.

The goodwill of the first thousand 730 eight chapters of the map

The GDR has been infiltrated from top to bottom. The reason why it hasn’t changed color is because Britain doesn’t want the GDR to change color. It gave the citizens of the GDR the right to vote. What if they want a referendum on unification?

Although the UK can still continue to try to stop it, how can it be as easy as it is now?

In fact, for the same reason, Czechoslovakia is also facing a similar problem, but it is the split between Czechoslovakia and Slovakia. At present, France does not want to hang on to troubles.

Therefore, under the framework of the European Community, the leading countries of the European Community, Britain and France, fully exchanged views with each other. The conclusion is that Britain and France still have to back-to-back on the issue of the Democratic Germany and Czechoslovakia.

Of course, France also emphasized that the situation on the European continent should not be interfered by non-European countries. Alan Wilson's term as cabinet secretary has not yet ended, so it is natural to fully agree.

"The French really never forget their pursuit of European hegemony." Pamela Mountbatten murmured, "I really don't know what to say about them."

"But now the mentality of the French is needed. We all understand that the United States is strong, and the Soviet Union is also strong, even the current Soviet Union." Alan Wilson lay down directly, lying on the lap of the richest woman, with a face full of comfort, " The post-war third-party power has also been maintained for a period of time. Otherwise, why would we bring France into the permanent membership of the United Nations? In fact, the current situation is not impossible to maintain the balance of power in Europe by virtue of Britain and France. The French always So confident is not without reason.”

The balance of power in Europe mentioned by Alan Wilson is of course very reluctant. It counts all the population that is still under the leadership of the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom with a population of 9000 million, France with 7000 million, and 700 million people. The Federal Republic of Germany, and the Soviet Union can only be counted as itself, such a balance of power.

There is no need to add Italy and Spain. The leadership of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe is much more useful than the old European imperialism.

In fact, the reason why France and Germany thought of bringing Russia into the framework of European security in later generations is that there are more than 1 million people in Germany and France combined, and Russia has more than 1 million people. Do the leaders of France and Germany feel that they can maintain a balance of power?

"Britain exchanged Poland for Greece. To what extent do you think the Soviet Union retreated before Europe could become a balance of power." When Pamela Mountbatten heard it, it seemed that her husband also had the same meaning, "It seems that you and the French have a very good relationship. common language."

"Offshore balancing is really tiring. Sometimes it's not bad to be as simple as the French think."

Alan Wilson thought about it carefully, "The Democratic Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Poland should break away from the control of the Soviet Union anyway. They can retain some influence, but they definitely can't do it like before."

"Leave the Soviet Union's influence on the Balkans?" After sleeping with this man for so many years, Pamela Mountbatten immediately grasped the point, "Why?"

"Leave a certain threat to Italy and Turkey." Alan Wilson lamented his precise knife skills. Italy and Turkey also have tens of millions of people. Isn't this the imperial Russia before World War I?

What Alan Wilson wants to solve is the troubles of the United Kingdom. Considering that France is also the core of the European Community, France can be counted at most, but Italy and Turkey, he believes in the national strength of these two countries, with a population of tens of millions. It is absolutely possible to withstand the influence of the Soviet Union in one direction.

In fact, what does this situation look like? It is the situation in Europe before World War I. Considering that Poland was also a part of Imperial Russia at that time, if such a situation arises, the situation facing the Soviet Union is equivalent to a slightly younger version of Imperial Russia, but it has not deteriorated. where to go.

In this case, anyway, there is enough buffer zone on the front of Europe. As for Southeast Europe, Italy and Turkey will have to work hard to assume the role of the Federal Republic of Germany during the Cold War.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the situation in Europe can also be greatly improved, especially for Britain, France and even the Federal Republic of Germany, but the direction of the Mediterranean Sea is not within the scope of improvement.

"Turkey and Italy will definitely thank you?" Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help snickering. Sure enough, the modern British offshore balancer just didn't know if he was too optimistic.

Pamela Mountbatten also couldn't see the future, thinking that her husband's considerations were too optimistic. Could it be that the Soviet Union would really go this route without saying a word?Are there still many Soviet troops in Eastern European countries?

"Did you forget that the head of the map flew away after a meeting in Zurich a while ago?" Alan Wilson said in a low voice, "According to unreliable news, the Soviet Union's foreign exchange reserves have bottomed out."

There are still a lot of supplies in the Soviet Union, but wages have begun to have problems. The reason for saying this is because the Soviet Union produced huge armaments during the Cold War. After the disintegration of Russia, it can’t even pay wages. It’s just reselling The arms persisted for several years.

Now anyone who can help the Soviet army is a friend of the Soviet army. Originally, the Soviet army in the Democratic Germany was sent away with money and aid from the Federal Republic of Germany.

Now that the ambition of the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany has been extinguished, and the Soviet army still exists, only the United Kingdom can stabilize the morale of the Soviet army in the East Germany.

"We still want to support the enemy's army?" Pamela Mountbatten's face was unreasonable, but she knew that her husband must have a reason.

"Only the Soviet Army has this capability, and it's nothing compared to the goal of holding down the public opinion that the GDR wants to unify. Giving them a little material." Alan Wilson said, "I don't trust the Germans. They put on a good show, but it's useless against me."

The ambitions of the Germans have always been great, and most countries cannot hold back the Germans. Only the United States and the Soviet Union have such capabilities.

The Yugoslav Civil War in Alan Wilson's memory is inseparable from German Chancellor Kohl.As for the GDR, it was not so clean.

Because of the memory of his previous life, Alan Wilson knew many rumors circulating in the Soviet camp. For example, the Democratic Germany had not revealed its ambitions.

In the Prague Spring in my memory, the GDR was one of the main forces that sent troops, and they moved faster than the Soviet army. As recalled by the Czechoslovakians in the Prague Spring, the officers and soldiers of the GDR were more cruel than the Soviet officers and soldiers, just like the American police. When they were blocked during the mission, they fired. On the contrary, the Soviet army still maintained a certain degree of restraint.

Alan Wilson felt that maybe the leaders of the GDR remembered the history of recovering the Teide region, and believed that this goal could be achieved through the Prague Spring.

If the head of the map suddenly became sane at this time, knowing that if this continues, it will be over, for example, take Poland as a knife, then the current Democratic Germany may form a Soviet-German coalition with the Soviet Union to invade Poland in an instant, as long as the head of the map agrees Let the GDR recover the land, the GDR government will risk their lives and try it once.

Although this is an unrealistic imagination, it is possible for the GDR to do this, but right now, the GDR government is most concerned about maintaining its own political power.

The military parade of the October Revolution in 1990 was the last Soviet military parade in history. In order to show his willingness for reconciliation, Middleton, who was building relations with various places at the same time, temporarily added a visit to the Soviet Union.

Now that the Cold War is over, and in such an era of reconciliation, the British army also wants to join in the celebration at this time. On the day of the October Revolution, the British military art in West Berlin appeared in the city of Berlin, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Germany, to celebrate with the Soviet troops stationed in Germany. .

At the same time, Middleton brought about Britain's commitment to investing in the Soviet Union and the material problems that could be solved to a certain extent for the Soviet troops stationed in Germany.

The head of the map attaches great importance to it, and I hope that Foreign Minister Shevardnadze can ask clearly, "Are all the troops from Britain, the United States and France participating?"

"It may not be the case. According to disclosures from the British side, President Bush is a very traditional conservative. Maybe Washington doesn't understand Britain's desire to reconcile with the Soviet Union."

Shevardnadze replied with embarrassment, "Britain wants to take a brave step forward and also take into account the reaction of the United States, so we hope that we will keep it secret. When the Berlin government proposes an invitation, the British army in West Berlin will readily agree. When it comes to going through the checkpoint, just don’t make any mistakes.”

"It's definitely not." The map head pondered for a moment, "We are happy to show our reconciled hearts. It is a good thing to do this in the military field. You must know that the army has always represented the most hard-line faction. If the army It has been reconciled, and the possibility of conflicts between countries will be much reduced in the future."

A day later, Allen Wilson appeared in front of Mrs. Thatcher refreshedly, holding up the documents in his hand, "Look, I said it will be successful. This kind of proposal now depends on whether you have the courage to release goodwill without telling the United States, my prime minister, this is all for peace in Europe."

This was even actively invited by the map head. Alan Wilson hoped that the British army would appear in Berlin and open the door to the new world for the map head. He just used this to invite the free world to see if he could get a response.

Alan Wilson directly suggested, "We don't respond, but on the day of the October Revolution, we can appear in the urban area of ​​Berlin. It should be a decision made at the last moment after comprehensive consideration, so that Washington can't blame us."

"This will solve the possible accusations of the United States." Mrs. Thatcher immediately reacted and explained, "I am not afraid of the United States, don't get me wrong."

"How could I have misunderstood the Iron Lady?" Alan Wilson finally looked back at the spy, and continued, "This is obviously the true meaning of offshore balance."

The first thousand 730 chapters nine regretful assassination

This year's October Revolution celebration, as various truths in various parts of the Soviet Union were revealed, it was very difficult to appear. As time approached, liberals continued to press for cancellation. Naturally, nothing happened, and no country responded.

However, Alan Wilson is still waiting for the TV broadcast. After all, this is a very commemorative military parade, and it may be gone next year.

As for the situation in Lithuania, it is still limited to the energy blockade. Many Soviet citizens don't know the seriousness at all, and they are still happily joining the farce.

Alan Wilson has been thinking about how much power Russia has left after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Recently, it finally has a preliminary answer. The population has been lost by half, and the area has been lost by one-fifth. This figure can still be incorporated into a concept Inside, it is equivalent to losing the south of the Yangtze River, so that the proportion of population area can be corrected.

Several stans in Central Asia are equivalent to Yunnan and Guizhou, and Ukraine, Belarus, and the three Baltic countries are equivalent to Jiangnan. In this way, we have a clear concept of the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

No wonder Russia is about to explode in the face of NATO's approach to Ukraine and Belarus. This is indeed a bottom line that cannot be given up, and it cannot be tolerated by any country.

Zhuanmen sent a broadcast team to Moscow to receive the live broadcast of the military parade. Alan Wilson was on Vivien Leigh's TV station, waiting for the military parade to start. Only two people in the UK could watch this broadcast, Alan Wilson And Vivien Leigh who was by her side.

"Look at the hobbies of the cabinet secretary. Everyone will be surprised when it gets out." Vivien Leigh teased, "What's there to see? I really don't know your men's hobbies."

"Men's hobbies are so different. At this moment, am I not proving my own achievements?" The British treasure sitting next to me proved the drunken beauty's lap, and the military parade on TV is not proving the power of the world?Naturally, Alan Wilson was confident.

Who can see the afterglow of the empire in this military parade?Apart from Alan Wilson, how many people can tell that the officers and soldiers under review twisted their necks to the right, and confusion appeared in their unruly eyes?

If he didn't compare it with the history in his mind, he didn't actually see any difference. Although the Soviet parade troops only came step by step, maybe this is the unique characteristic of Lao Maozi. This country's military parade can pass through any country The steps that can be mastered can create a momentum that is not easy to mess with.

The slogan of the red sausage is also very interesting. The British media's communication lens is specially aimed at the slogans of support and opposition. For example, there is a slogan like this, "Map head, you have foreign support, but you have lost domestic support. .”

Alan Wilson is very fond of memory. Although it is not the most neat, it is indeed the most powerful. With the end of the military parade, it is time for the mass parade. This time the mass parade is destined to be different.

Not long after the mass parade started, a man suddenly emerged from the marching crowd and fired two shots in the direction of the viewing platform. The gunshots rang through the Red Square. When people reacted, the assassin was rushed up Several policemen fell to the ground.
