Soviet Union 1991

Fourth update

The closer relations between the Soviet Union and France aroused alarm in Germany, but Britain had no time to pay attention to this matter because he had more troubled things to deal with. .t. As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, it can be said that the period between 1991 and 1992 was John Major's most successful period. However, after 1993, he encountered a political winter because a more terrifying monster appeared in Eastern Europe. He led a declining empire to rise again, shattering everything he had worked so hard to create.

The man who eclipsed John Major in European politics is Yanayev.

In 1991, the Latvian daily used a metaphor to describe Yanayev as Napoleon. "The devil of the Kremlin has taken control of Moscow, the red devil is advancing towards Tbilisi, the dictator has captured Kiev, Yanayev is approaching the Baltic Sea, and the great General Secretary will arrive in Riga who is loyal to him!"

However, the UK has been overwhelmed recently. Due to the increasingly bad economic and social conditions, calls for Scottish independence have become louder and louder, and there are now many voices calling for John Major to step down. The British government, which had just experienced a riot in London, focused its attention on the country instead of thinking about the oil fields in Libya. Even if Shell controlled by the British government was defeated during this crisis, John Major did not make a sound of protest. , Stabilizing the domestic situation is more important than anything else. International defeats can regroup and make a comeback. Domestic defeat means that the prime minister will step down.

Because of the excellent political achievements of former Iron Lady Thatcher, John Major looked a bit unsightly. Not only did this man fail to solve the most fundamental economic problems, he also repeatedly lost to France and the Soviet Union in diplomacy. To be precise, he lost to the Soviet Union united with France or France united with the Soviet Union.

The confidence for the Scottish referendum came from the North Sea oil fields, and the British government's long-term use of oil revenue to subsidize England has made many people unhappy. It gradually became independent and became countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia whose main income was oil trafficking, but John Major will not tolerate such a situation, so even if there are calls for a referendum, Downing Street must find ways to nip these calls in the bud.

When the UK's economic situation was still good, the UK could still suppress such calls. It was nothing more than improving Scotland's social welfare and blocking the mouths of those independent factions. However, the recent continued downturn in the world economy, coupled with the collapse of the pillars of the British oil industry, has made John Major feel a very serious crisis.

He needs to divert his attention, especially now that the people are very dissatisfied with the EU's continued blood transfusion. If this continues, Prime Minister John Major will sooner or later be dismissed by the people because of this matter.

At this time, Sir Terrence, the British Secretary of State for Finance, proposed a bad idea that was not a good idea. He claimed that he could use the British people's antipathy towards the EU to divert the contradictions of Scotland's attempted referendum, so that the United Kingdom could not spend a penny or a cent. Let this matter pass.

"And I believe that the EU will not let us break away from it. This is just a way of retreating to force Germany and France to surrender. Especially France, its recent actions in Libya have caused us to lose a large amount of oil foreign exchange. Income, now is the time to make them feel what is called pressure," Terrence said with a sneer. His hatred of France is no less than his dissatisfaction with the EU. It can be said that the UK has suffered heavy losses due to the small actions between France and Germany. .

"Recently, dissatisfaction with the EU has been rising. What should we do if something unexpected happens in the referendum? Have you considered this issue? Minister Terence. The British economy is now in a difficult situation. Once it gets out of hand, , Britain is completely finished." John Major seemed not to trust Terence's suggestion, always feeling that it was a joke on the future of the government.

"Is it necessary to launch a war to divert the public's attention? The current European Union cannot afford such consumption, Prime Minister John Major. We should clearly realize that the current economic crisis and the British simply cannot find effective means to stimulate our The economy and demand, what does that mean? It means that our downfall is small and it might tear Britain apart." Terrence's answer was plausible, it was like a bad idea in an extremely bad situation.

"Now that Scotland is planning an independence referendum, there is no guarantee that the next step will be people planning to leave the EU. Since the situation is moving in an irreversible direction, why not stop these situations before they get worse? As long as we can control this To exaggerate the seriousness of the situation and let NATO know that we are in a very bad situation, we are not joking with them. Once the goal of blackmailing the EU is achieved, we will immediately announce a great victory and let the people give up the idea of ​​a referendum.”

Drive away tigers and wolves? This was the only consequence that John Major thought of. If he was not careful at all, Britain would lose everything. He also served as the UK's Secretary of State for Finance in 1989. He is well aware of the problems that the UK will face after exiting the EU. The first is the institutional issue, which means that everything must be transformed to exit the EU in accordance with EU standards. The most likely scenario is to lose a certain part of the investment and turn to other EU countries for cooperation, which may also cause a large amount of capital to drain from the UK. This is the first result that John Major does not want to see.

But Terrence's words also made Prime Minister Major fall into deep thought. After joining the EU, Britain has been in a state of loss. Although it has the support of preferential tariff policies, it has lost a lot of profits compared to before. If it weren't for the United States silently transfusing blood behind the scenes, the British economy might have collapsed long ago.

"This is just the last plan, Prime Minister Major. If the economic pressure is not unbearable, we will not use such means to force the EU." Terrence tried his best to make Britain play the role of an innocent person and told the British Prime Minister that everything he did was for the glory of Great Britain.

"I will consider Sir Terrence's opinion, but before that I want to solve this problem in a more peaceful way."

John Major sighed and frowned more tightly. He always had a premonition of what would happen next, which made him feel very uneasy.
