Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The action against Germany is like a risky investment. The more people Mario can bring to this investment, the less risk the United States will bear. What's more, after withdrawing from the EU, the UK does not want to see the EU abandon itself. At the very least, it will decline as the former world financial center, and they do not want to have a good life.

Blair has also been busy recently dealing with the mess left by former Prime Minister John Major, a series of follow-up issues after the Brexit referendum, and the impact on the British economy. The most damning thing is that the calls for a referendum by the Scottish residents have not stopped, and even Blair is afraid that it will eventually develop like the East German riots.

Just when he was busy and worried, President Mario came to the door. Of course, he did not appear specifically to help Britain solve the crisis. He just wanted to use Britain's offshore balancing policy to severely disgust the EU.

"Are you going to attack the EU?" Blair was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Americans would take action so quickly while Germany was in turmoil. But he soon smelled the conspiracy behind it. It seemed that he couldn't help but want to take action against Europe, and he wanted to take advantage of Germany's decline in strength to completely kill the EU.

Will the EU dissolve as a result? There is already a big question mark in Blair's mind. If the Americans really want to do this, then the conspiracy behind them will be inevitable. It seems that Mario revealed this information to Blair not only to bring Britain into the alliance, but also to test his own attitude to see whether Britain is loyal to Europe or to itself.

At this time, loyalty and standing in line become very important. Moreover, Britain is located on the other side of the strait and has never been able to integrate into this large circle. This is the purpose of the United States to win over Britain.

Thinking of this, Blair picked up the phone on the table, dialed his assistant's number, and said in a somewhat anxious tone, "Ask Chancellor Brown to come to my office. Yes, just say there is an emergency."

Brown still didn't know why the Prime Minister summoned him at this time, but with a cautious attitude, he immediately went to No. 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister's office.

"Prime Minister, is there anything particularly urgent?" Brown asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door. He knew that Blair didn't like to waste time.

"Yes. How much impact will it have on the British economy after Brexit?" Blair needs to consider the current situation in the UK before deciding whether to cooperate with the United States.

Brown pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The Bank of England said this month that companies' investment intentions have hit a new low since 1993. Now the central bank is eager for companies to make more business investments and stabilize the British economy. And there seems to be a trend of reducing investment. It will continue to develop. A survey conducted by financial services companies after the UK left the EU showed that more than half of 132 chief financial officers hoped that Brexit would reduce their capital expenditure plans. This is not good news. ”

"What about other aspects?" Blair asked. Now that it has been several months since Brexit, there has been no large-scale wave of bankruptcies among British companies, and consumer spending is still continuing. This series of phenomena shows that the British economy is not Hit by the terrible Great Recession.

"Other aspects are fine. In short, if we don't find ways to solve this problem, it will inevitably have an impact on the long-term development of the British economy." Brown's voice sounded a little anxious. Of course, if this problem cannot be properly solved, then he, who has just taken office, will The Chancellor of the Exchequer who has been serving for two months can also pack up and leave.

"I understand. If there's nothing else, you can go about your business first, Minister Brown."

Brown nodded and took the lead to leave. He was also a little surprised why Prime Minister Blair called him to the office specifically to ask about the recent developments in the British economy.

After listening to Minister Brown's account, Blair's original hesitation slowly became firmer. The current investment is still on the sidelines. If it can light a fire on domestic affairs issues, then the UK will have a chance to get rid of the negative impact of investment wait-and-see. This behavior seems to be self-serving at the expense of others, but for the future of Britain, Germany should sacrifice itself.

What's more, if the EU really collapses, then everything in Europe will be overthrown and restarted. In this way, the UK, which is far away from the EU, will have its own advantages, as long as it persists.

Thinking of this, Blair decided to cooperate with the United States to completely push Germany down from the edge of the fire pit. He opened President Mario's White House line and said, "President Mario, I think we can cooperate with the suggestion you mentioned before. As you can see, Germany is already in a mess. If we take the opportunity If you fan the flames behind the scenes, it may become the trigger for Germany's collapse."

"And the current European Union is an obstacle to the United States and the United Kingdom, isn't it? It affects the pattern of the world economy, and it also affects the economic development of the United Kingdom. If the European Union collapses, the economies of those Western European countries will definitely undergo drastic changes. The two largest economies in the world, the United Kingdom and the United States, will become their safe havens.”

Mario smiled. When Blair said this, the foundation for cooperation between them had been laid, "Europe will become our Europe, a Europe jointly built by the United States and Britain. After Germany's defeat, France has been unable to Support the overall situation alone.”

"There is also the Soviet Union." Blair said the name that Mario least wanted to hear, "Yanayev is also paying attention to Germany's movements, right? Otherwise, where did those government opponents get all the Kalashnikov rifles? Maybe"

"Yanayev? This is really a joke. The Soviet economy is like a pool of stagnant water that has not recovered." Mario smiled contemptuously, "So what? He just sentenced the Soviet Union to a suspended death sentence. Do you really think that Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania have the upper hand in the negotiations? He just delayed the deployment of missiles. As long as the United States is willing, these countries will still hide under our umbrella."

Mario's prejudice against the Soviet Union made him not realize that the current Soviet Union has been silently forbearing in the economy, just waiting for an opportunity. The opportunity to slap all European countries in the face.

"When Europe is under our joint control, the Soviet Union will seem insignificant. By then, we can even use economic sanctions to bring it down."

(Today there are only two updates, to save for tomorrow. Starting from next month, there will be a crazy mode of five or occasionally six updates every day, and because of the need for anti-theft, the updates will be concentrated in the second half of the night, and the update time is also irregular. So I hope everyone will play with their phones less in the second half of the night, rest more, strengthen exercise, and welcome the National Day.) (To be continued.)
