Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The British Brexit referendum vote has entered the final counting stage, and leaders of almost all European countries closely related to it have gathered in front of the TV to wait for the final results. For example, the German Chancellor has asked his spokesperson to prepare two completely different press statements, one for Britain's departure from the European Union, and the other for the failure of the EU referendum. Germany is well prepared for this.

French President Chirac is discussing with Juppe about a series of political and financial tsunami that will occur after the UK leaves the EU. Juppe predicts that the first day of the UK's departure from the EU may trigger a bloody storm in the European stock market.

"I will summarize the situation of the UK leaving the EU here. First of all, the stock index plummeted. The European economy, which has been sluggish for a long time due to the economic crisis, may lead to a new round of political instability. This political instability will It will affect all European economies. Perhaps Standard \u0026 Poor's and Fitch International Credit Ratings will lower the UK's sovereign rating, and it may also cause the wealth of most European wealthy people to shrink."

"The British have worked hard in the EU for so many years. I can't say that they have accumulated a lot of capital, but they have a certain foundation. This time they chose to leave the EU so hastily. In fact, they are the ones who have suffered the most." Zhu Pei said Chirac said that for the EU, what it actually loses is just an ally, while what the UK loses may be their future. Chirac is making a dangerous bet on the future, and Chirac has no idea what Prime Minister Major is thinking. If the UK has a backup plan, no politician in France can analyze and figure out where the UK's "far-sightedness" lies.

"So what can we do now?" asked Prime Minister Chirac.

"Wait, now we can only wait. Wait for the absolute future development after the British referendum is over. But this will definitely change the outcome of the entire European Union." Jupe said pessimistically. He is not worried about Britain leaving Europe, but it will be less. However, he is worried that the UK’s departure from the EU will trigger a series of waves of Brexit, which will have a huge impact on the European Community they created.

He even suspected that Britain planned to break out of this box and establish a new branch, just like the French "Mediterranean Circle", but the latter would at most create a small group within the EU, and Juppe was not sure whether Britain had any The idea of ​​winning over others to work against.

It is possible that the EU will break up and become a fragmented Europe with small groups standing side by side.

Thinking of this, Zhu Pei shuddered a little. He would rather believe that he was overthinking than to delve deeper. After all, anything can happen before the results appear.

"We have entered the final stage of counting votes. Some experts pointed out that 90% of the British economy has nothing to do with trade with the EU, but it is still restricted by EU regulations. Getting rid of the EU will make the UK a lot more vulnerable." Small and medium-sized enterprises are not subject to EU regulations, and employment opportunities may increase.”

The reporter's speech on the TV did not move Yanayev's mood. He only talked about one side of leaving the EU, but covered up the other negative side. It would lose its membership of the EU and it would be difficult for the UK to rely on the EU in Europe. and play an important role in world affairs, the next step is that its international status and influence will be greatly reduced. Then in terms of trade, Britain and Europe have always been closely interdependent, with half of the trade volume coming from other European countries. If it leaves the towering tree of the EU, the trade relations between the UK and Europe will be affected, and it will even affect London's status as an international financial center and a safe haven for funds. If a large amount of investment withdraws from the UK, the economic prospects may further deteriorate. Major financial institutions in the UK have issued warnings, pointing out that the UK's attempts to renegotiate its relationship with the EU may pose an uncertain future and be detrimental to the interests of the business community.

Losing influence in Brussels, Berlin and Paris, the UK will become even more outcast by Washington and marginalized (in a strangely harmonious way) on numerous transnational matters such as the environment, security and trade. The United States wants the UK to remain within the EU and continue to be a tool to control the EU for it. Once it leaves the EU, the UK will likely become an isolated country.

"This move by John Major is as stupid as when Yanayev gave up the leadership of the ruling party and adopted a multi-party system. Didn't he realize that doing so would probably leave the UK outside Europe? Outside? Of course, I thought the UK was preparing to penetrate into the EU to implement its continental balancing policy, but I didn’t expect that it would voluntarily give up its position and jump outside.”

Yanayev looked at his watch. It was now three o'clock in the afternoon, which meant that the final count of votes in the UK was about to be completed, and the bombshell would shock the whole of Europe.

"Comrade Ryzhkov, is there any country with which the UK has been closer in economic and trade recently?" Yanayev turned to the people around him and asked.

Ryzhkov thought for a moment and then came up with an expected name, "Holland."

The right-wing parties National Front and the Dutch Freedom Party, which have been particularly prolific in German politics recently, appear to be preparing for some other plot.

"No wonder." Yanayev muttered to himself, "This Brexit can be regarded as a victory for the European right-wing parties, right? Now the gap between the north and the south of the EU is widening. Northern countries such as Germany and the Netherlands have to provide blood transfusions to the south through the EU. The lower-class people think that their living standards are being dragged down and they are paying for those lazy southerners. The EU is expanding eastward, and the newly joined Eastern Europe is sharing the cake of the old EU countries. Coupled with the principle of human rights supremacy and the refugee problem, political correctness has become a self-binding force."

"In short, Brexit will be the beginning of a disaster."

"And the Soviet Union will play the role of fanning the flames this time."

Yanayev stared at the red numbers that kept jumping on the screen and answered slowly.

Prime Minister John Major felt that he had never been under such pressure. This was the most tormenting and longest day since he became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It must be said that Britain has changed in his hands. Saving 8 billion pounds in payment can be ignored, but the liberation of the British economy is the feat he has always wanted to accomplish.

After witnessing the failure of France's attempt to establish a Mediterranean alliance, and with the instigation of Permanent Under-Secretary Terence, Prime Minister Major has gradually moved from resistance at the beginning to compliance. He does have a plan in his heart, a plan to get Britain out of trouble.

The constraints within the EU can no longer satisfy John Major's continental balance policy. He must leave the EU and disrupt the EU's operating machine from the outside. Don't forget that Britain has been acting as an offshore balancer for more than 500 years. Prime Minister Major also noticed that not all European countries are fond of joining the EU. Countries like the Netherlands and Nordic countries have prejudices against some EU policies.

"Prime Minister Major, the final result of the referendum is coming out soon."

Terence, who was standing next to John Major, kindly reminded Prime Minister John Major, who was in a daze. The other party came back to his senses and nodded, turning his head to face the big screen. The next statistical results will be displayed on the big screen, and John Major will consider whether to submit his resignation after the final referendum results are released.

The numbers on the screen stopped turning, and the referendum was over. Everyone felt depressed when they saw the data.

No one cheered, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The historic moment has finally arrived.

Prime Minister Major's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak. Terence, who was standing next to her, raised his mouth sinisterly.

The top leader of the Elysee Palace clenched his fists after seeing the numbers on the screen. He turned his head, with a slightly surprised expression on his face. President Chirac said to the press spokesman beside him, "Go prepare and issue a second press release."

Yanayev did not show any emotion, as if the voting results in front of the TV were just an insignificant ending for him.

But in any case, the scarlet font is telling the world that at this moment, the EU is no longer the original EU.

Final data of the referendum:

Votes in favor of leaving the EU: 15.7 million, accounting for 51.9%.

Votes against leaving the EU: 14.58 million, accounting for 48.1%

The UK officially announced its withdrawal from the EU. (To be continued.)
