Soviet Union 1991

Second update

John Major, who served as Secretary-General of the Treasury, Foreign Secretary and Financial Secretary in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet, experienced 28 years of changes in the British political arena from the beginning of his political career in 1968 to the end of 1996, and climbed to the highest level in the UK. position of leader. ▲∴▲∴, John Major knows the cruelty of political struggle better than anyone else. So when Salmond was preparing to hold an independence referendum in Scotland, John Major was already preparing the last step to counterattack before leaving office. So far, the UK cannot lose Scotland's North Sea oil fields. Just as Yanayev speculated, once it loses the support of the North Sea oil fields, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the British energy industry. This also led to the secret game between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom in Scotland. The Soviet Union supported Scottish national independence, while the United Kingdom stepped up its plunder of North Sea oil fields. All these dramas will become the source of further chaos in the UK.

Scotland's independence seems to be an event on the agenda of all European countries, but many Western European countries hope to see the UK suffer in this incident. Among them is Chirac, the head of the French government who has always been at odds with Britain.

However, Vladimir did not bring good news to Yanayev this time. The reply he received was that the Scottish National Party was nervously preparing for the referendum and was taking advantage of the most unstable political situation in the UK to take risks. bet. However, KGB foreign intelligence personnel analyzed that Salmond's chance of success was almost less than 40%. As for the reason, in addition to the people who support Scottish independence, there is also a group of people who strongly insist on staying within the United Kingdom. Coupled with Major's secret hand, Yanayev felt very worried about this referendum. He felt that it was destined to fail.

"But I think it's okay that the referendum fails, it's not the worst situation." Yanayev said to Vladimir, "Just like Salmond thinks, the failure of the referendum will at best wait for the next one." Referendum, but what I am most worried about is Prime Minister Major's use of legal means to organize the passage of the referendum bill. Parliament could be dissolved early, preventing a referendum from taking place, which would surely trigger an uprising by Scottish nationalists. If they did, Major would be able to complete one last bloody political task before leaving office for the next term. The successor is focused on solving post-Brexit issues and providing a stable internal environment.”

"Is she as unscrupulous as Iron Lady Thatcher in dealing with the IRA? But can Prime Minister Major really make up his mind?" Vladimir thought of the bloody suppression of the IRA, but this time the target was Scotland. nationalist party.

Under Mrs. Thatcher's extreme force, the Northern Ireland Republican Army was forced to move from political assassinations to peace negotiations. So what about Scotland? Or what surprises are waiting for everyone?

Yanayev stretched. He was almost aware of what was going to happen next. Riots, suppression and deepening estrangement were simply the British version of the Tbilisi Incident. The situation was changing, and Western countries took advantage of it. The crisis among the franchising countries split the Soviet Union, and now it itself has become the target of division.

As long as the tanks continue to move forward, what will happen to those old drivers who use mantis arms as vehicles, oh no, they are thugs.

"Anyway, he is about to resign. There is nothing he can't do. If Prime Minister Major once does this, then this will be a wonderful performance that is even more iron than the Iron Lady. And, Comrade Vladimir, once After Downing Street announced the cancellation of the Scottish Parliament, they immediately gave up on Salmond. He was no longer worthy of our continued investment.”

"But we have spent enough money and energy on him." Vladimir was not willing to fail like this. He said with some indignation, "I want to consider whether to continue to support Salvador after the referendum result is over." Almond’s plan for Scottish independence.”

"But I advise you to put away your little emotions, Comrade Vladimir, this is called stop loss of investment. Salmond is not a person who dares to challenge the British government with force. Once the British government crushes it with force, If the pressure comes, he is likely to choose to compromise. What you are looking for is the kind of person who sacrifices for independence like Ireland's Co Meath. Salmond does not have such confidence. Now you know what I am talking about. Who are they?"

"Are these ultra-nationalists from Scotland?" Vladimir's first thought was of these lunatics.

Yanayev gestured casually on the table and said casually, "It would be best if they could be encouraged to form the Scottish Republican Army. And if Scotland cannot gain independence peacefully, then let the British government reappear in 70 The nightmare of the era.”

As a time traveler with insight into history, although the world has developed in a completely different timeline since 1991, Yanayev can still determine where his opponent will move next based on previous clues. Therefore, Yanayev can always know the enemy's next move in advance and make countermeasures in advance.

Of course, inciting national extremists to riot in other countries must be done covertly and without leaving any trace. Once discovered, it will affect a country's diplomatic face, and the previous nuclear power plant cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom has not yet been completed. . That's why Yanayev told Vladimir that the KGB's whereabouts must not be exposed.

"But the extreme people in Scotland are like a mess. They don't have a strong alliance to support them in launching riots." Vladimir scratched his head, this issue made him very troubled. If we can't support agents, we can't let the KGB go to Scotland to preside over the cause of independence.

Yanayev pointed out a way to Vladimir. Yanayev said with a smile, "So you also need to wait until the British government sends troops to suppress the Scottish independence movement. This is the best way for us to support agents." Timing. It’s too early to make small moves behind the scenes, and the success rate is much lower than we imagined.”

Yanayev threw the chess in his hand on the table. He turned the chess piece and said, "Prime Minister John Major expected that there might be a riot in Scotland, but he would never have expected that after this riot, There are still a series of plans waiting for the Downing Street government when the time comes, haha."

"I hope the next prime minister, Major's successor Tony Blair, will be a little more interesting." To be continued.
